Chai Qingguo undoubtedly pointed out the key points of management, and simply managing oneself may create an outstanding individual, but it will never create an excellent organization. Chai Qingguo really doesn't hate Gu Lu, this young comrade with a somewhat girlish name has a trustworthy temperament, Chai Qingguo has never heard Gu Lu say a big word. Whether a person is honest or not is not out of his heart's desire, but from his actual ability to execute. Gu Lu's lack of leadership experience is indeed a fatal wound. The information proves that Gu Lu can manage a platoon. Chai Qingguo has seen many comrades with this ability, but the problem is that when the organization hands over the troops of one battalion and one regiment to them, these comrades often do not perform well.

"If Chairman Chen must let Comrade Gu Lu be in charge of this work, you have the final personnel authority, and I won't say anything more. If Chairman Chen wishes to discuss this matter at a meeting of the Party committee, I believe that the work of this engineering corps should be carried out by a more experienced comrade. Chai Qingguo gave his opinion. Chai Qingguo's views represent the thoughts of the majority of comrades, and although the engineering corps is a non-combat branch, the comrades are still very interested in being the chief responsible person in any of the fields.

Wu Xingchen looked coldly at the army cadres who were quite excited, and he had a faint feeling in his heart about Chen Ke's plan. Obviously, Chen Ke was not prepared to let these cadres of the troops, who were already in high positions, directly take over the newly constructed engineering and railway troops. In the construction of new arms, Chen Ke is prepared to hire a large number of new troops, instead of letting the existing cadres take over the command in a step-by-step manner. There are certainly many reasons for this, and the darker explanations, the fear of a factional hill being the easiest to think of. However, Wu Xingchen really didn't want to think about Chen Ke's plan like this. To use personnel struggles to guess Chen Ke's thoughts is to underestimate Chen Ke. If Chen Ke decides to do something, there is often more calculation behind it.

Listening to the discussion of the comrades of the Central Military Commission on the new department, as if he had been able to make the new department belong to them in the first place, Wu Xingchen felt more and more uneasy in his heart. At this moment, Chai Qingguo had already said with a cold face: "This time I am in charge of the Yunlong Lake excavation project, and I think that many comrades here are not suitable for this work at all." Many comrades' views on the engineering corps are that they can do it with a shovel, but I feel that this is not the case at all. First of all, the engineer must understand machinery and arrangement. It's not a purely human job. ”

Chai Qingguo opposed Chen Ke's easy promotion of young cadres, and many people thought that Chai Qingguo hoped that he could become the commander-in-chief of the engineering corps. And many comrades also felt that they could work under Chai Qingguo. Unexpectedly, now Chai Qingguo made a statement that a bamboo pole overturned a boatload of people. Many comrades have no idea what Chai Qingguo's plans are.

"Comrade Chai Qingguo, do you mean that you are the only one who is suitable for this job?" Even if he and Chai Qingguo belonged to the Wu Xingchen faction, Pang Zi still couldn't help but ask.

In the face of Pang Zi's accusation, Chai Qingguo was not moved at all, "I am only opposed to directly appointing a large number of young comrades to take up the leading posts of the engineering corps, but I do not think that comrades, including me, can undertake this work." This new branch of the army must start from the very basics in a down-to-earth manner, and this must be learned. Chairman Chen wants to build the Command College of the Construction Corps, and I think this is very right. This is a science, and it does not mean that whoever goes can become this official. ”

Pang Zi and many comrades were stunned, including Wu Xingchen and Chen Ke, who also showed surprised looks. Chai Qingguo took out a construction drawing and hung it on the blackboard. He briefly talked about a calculation problem. Yunlong Lake is about seven square kilometers in size, and if it were excavated to a depth of one meter, it would take 7 million cubic meters of soil to be excavated. If you dig at an average depth of about 15 meters, it is 100 million cubic meters of soil. Based on the calculation that one person digs and transports two cubic meters of soil a day, it will take about 400 days to complete the workload of 140,000 laborers currently employed.

In fact, this project not only needs to dig pits, but also to build a dam, from Yunlong Mountain in the east to Hanshan Mountain in the west, to build a dam with a total length of more than 4,000 meters, and block the annual flood from south to north in the south of the dam.

"This is the project we are facing right now." Chai Qingguo said. Without waiting for these comrades, who had a basic understanding of this because they participated in the project, to interject, Chai Qingguo drew a line on the project map with his finger, "This is just the beginning. I talked to the German devil engineers and they suggested digging a floodway here. Although the water storage capacity of Yunlong Lake is large, but so much water hangs over the head of Xuzhou, in case it has been raining heavily in any year and the embankment collapses, which is a disaster for Xuzhou. Therefore, it is necessary to dig a Yunlongshan floodway to ensure the safety of Xuzhou. The spillway designed by the Germans is 621 meters long, 7 meters wide and 6.5 meters high. Who of us here thought of this project? ”

The comrades who originally thought that they knew more about this project than Chai Qingguo were stunned by this flood discharge project, no one thought about this problem, and even after Chai Qingguo clearly explained the floodway project, many comrades showed a stupid look on their faces. They haven't even fully understood this important project.

Chai Qingguo didn't stop there, his finger drew a circle on the map again, "The floodway drains to the east, where is this water going to be injected?" It must be those rivers, during the heavy rainy season, these places are already full of water, and what will happen if they are flooded inside? Has anyone considered this again? The engineer has to not only work, but also carry out the overall design. Those who understand this industry are basically in Anhui, Hubei, and Jiangxi now, and no one in Shandong understands this. ”

Pang Zi frowned and looked at it for a while, and then asked, "Comrade Chai Qingguo, what do you mean?" ”

Glancing at Pang Zi, Chai Qingguo said generously: "What I mean is very simple. I think that if there are comrades who want to do this, they should learn from scratch and start from the grassroots level. Don't always try to move around and start in a leadership position. ”

Wu Xingchen glanced at the comrades of the Military Commission who were temporarily in a state of shock, and he was very suspicious that Chai Qingguo was ordered by Chen Ke to make the above statement. But this thought only existed for a moment, Chai Qingguo is not the kind of person who follows the crowd, let alone the kind of guy who will easily jump out and sing red face or black face. He said it so simply, he must have had his own ideas. It's just that I don't know what happened to make Chai Qingguo make such a fierce statement.

Chen Ke had the same doubts as Wu Xingchen, but after all, Chen Ke had seen Chai Qingguo's attitude towards Director Zhang. That kind of deep dissatisfaction with the villain, Chen Ke can understand. For Chen Ke, after all, he has received more systematic training and education, as the Chinese saying goes, interlacing is like separating mountains, and in the 21st century, the professional gap between various industries is even greater. In order to find opportunities to "get rich overnight", Chen Ke participated in many different industries. He was impressed by those failures. It's like a friend Chen Ke knew who owned a barbershop and said when he was chatting, "Give you a head, you can't even touch it." ”

It's just that now is not the time for this kind of reflection, and Chai Qingguo has intensified the contradiction to a considerable extent. After a brief period of shock, the comrades present at the meeting fell into an angry mood. It's just that Chai Qingguo's position is high and his qualifications are deep. has always been considered the iron core of Wu Xingchen. Now Wu Xingchen is silent, Chen Ke is silent, although everyone is angry, they can't think of anything to deal with for a while.

"Then you ......" Pang Zi stopped after only saying two words.

Chai Qingguo knew what Pang Zi wanted to say, and he replied: "I am only willing to fight, and I will never get involved in the construction of the engineering army." I can't do this. ”

Wu Xingchen saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly interjected, "Chairman Chen, what do you think about this?" ”

Chen Ke's thoughts Chai Qingguo said for him, Chen Ke cared about mountainism very much. The characteristic of mountaineering is not that a certain group of people is trying to dominate a certain area for a long time, but that there will be a large number of factions. There will be fierce battles between the various factions for more positions. This kind of mountaineering is quite detrimental to work. Now that the comrades in the army have developed factional tendencies, Chen Ke does not want this gang to spread to the newly established department like this.

Chai Qingguo had a very good grasp of this issue, and Chen Ke was still thinking about how to use the model of "paying attention to work methods" to explain this problem clearly. But he didn't expect Chai Qingguo to take the initiative to solve this problem.

Since Wu Xingchen asked such a question, of course Chen Ke couldn't pretend to be a good person by himself, and sold Chai Qingguo, "I think Comrade Chai Qingguo's attitude is very correct, and the entry point of this problem grasps the key to the problem." The engineering and railway troops are very professional arms of the armed forces, and they have not received technical training, and it is obviously unreasonable to be directly transferred at the same level. ”

By now, Wu Xingchen naturally understood what Chen Ke meant, and he immediately said, "If the comrades here have plans to work in the engineering corps, I think they can propose to change their majors and start from scratch in this new department." What do you think of Comrade Tianhua? ”

Chen Tianhua didn't expect Wu Xingchen to pull himself in, he was in charge of the work of the Political Department, and he was in charge of ideological issues. Chai Qingguo opposed the "transfer at the same level", and Chen Tianhua deeply thought so. The scale of the expansion of the base areas is so rapid that in order to effectively manage such a large base area, corresponding departments have also been established. Even with the supervision of the powerful department of the People's Internal Affairs Committee, and the discussions of various departments at the meetings of the party committees, these cadres who were rapidly promoted still caused a lot of problems. If horizontal transfers become the norm again, there will be more problems.

Thinking of this, Chen Tianhua also said clearly: "I think Comrade Chai Qingguo's speech is very good, there is a specialization in the art industry, and each comrade has his own characteristics. If we don't work step by step from the grassroots level, there will definitely be problems. I support Comrade Chai Qingguo's view. ”

The responsible persons of the party, government, and military all expressed their positions, and it was Chai Qingguo who put forward this view, which was quite high. Even if the other comrades completely disagreed with Chai Qingguo's point of view, they knew that at least for now, it was impossible to loosen up on this matter. No objections were raised, so on the basis of Chai Qingguo's proposal, the basic outline for the establishment of the engineering and railway troops was finally established.

After the meeting, Chen Ke returned to the construction site headquarters with Chai Qingguo.

"Lao Chai, what do you think of Comrade Gu Lu?" Chen Ke asked.

Chai Qingguo was slightly stunned, he thought that Chen Ke would ask about the formation of the engineering corps, "Chairman Chen, who recommended Comrade Gu Lu to you?" ”

Chen Ke pondered for a moment, he had already trusted Chai Qingguo very much, and after the meeting, Chen Ke's trust in Chai Qingguo deepened a lot, "Qi Huishen recommended it." You know, it's not easy to get in and out of the investigation of the People's Internal Affairs Committee. ”

Chai Qingguo was amused by this, "Hey, yes." King Qi Yan's place is not easy to get along with. ”

Hearing the title of "King of Qi Yan", Chen Ke couldn't help but laugh.

Chai Qingguo quickly pulled his mind back to work, "Comrade Gu Lu is really a good comrade, modest, cautious, and not afraid of hard work. Qi Huishen's vision is quite high. However, I think Comrade Gu Lu has a great advantage, he doesn't care about fame and fortune at all. What others care about is promotion and power. Comrade Gu Lu doesn't care about this, what he cares about is whether he can do his job well wholeheartedly. He can be wronged. But at work, this is another disadvantage. To put it bluntly, if no one had firmly supported Comrade Gu Lu behind him, Comrade Gu Lu would have suffered in many struggles. My biggest feeling now is that the forest is really big and there are all kinds of birds. It's not that some comrades can't do it, but their minds are just not right enough. At many critical times, Comrade Gu Lu can fight against unhealthy tendencies, but he can't let him compete to sit in that position. ”

"Looks like you gave him a chance." Chen Ke asked.

"I've given it more than once or twice. But Comrade Gu Lu is too right-minded, I think he should be the political commissar. Let him engage in these transactional work, he can't fight the kind of Director Zhang. After Chai Qingguo finished speaking, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Lao Chai, if we make everyone have to work like Comrade Gu Lu in the system, will it be ...... and offend some people? Many comrades will not understand? Chen Ke's words were a little slurred.

Chai Qingguo frowned after hearing this, he stared at Chen Ke for a while before saying: "That's not to offend some people, it's to offend a large number of people, and a considerable number of people have to turn over and dismount." I thought so too, and I tried. However, I found that once I did this, not only those who were squeezed out were full of complaints, but even many comrades who were doing good jobs could not understand and accept this practice. As soon as I said this, I thought of Comrade Gu Lu again. He can understand why he did this, but if you ask him to fight those people in any way he can, he can't do anything he can. ”

"Do everything you can...... haha!" Chen Ke was amused by this subtle wording. Chai Qingguo's description of this is too subtle. As the saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night. If you want to deal with the villain, you have to come up with a "do everything possible" attitude. But for those outstanding cadres, they still feel powerless to do everything possible to work, where do they have so much attention to the calculation of villains?

Chai Qingguo really can't understand Chen Ke's humor, he is full of difficulties for work. Chen Ke laughed out loud so heartlessly. glared at Chen Ke with disgust for a while, Chai Qingguo was gradually infected by Chen Ke's optimistic performance, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Chen Ke finally suppressed his smile, he patted Chai Qingguo's shoulder, "Old Chai, at this time, if you don't rectify it, something will happen." We have to stand up and speak out against something. I definitely can't do it alone, if it weren't for you today, but I said that, everyone's thoughts must be very different. ”

Chai Qingguo looked at Chen Ke for a while, and this time he suddenly laughed heartily, "As long as Chairman Chen can make up your mind, if you have something to offend people, we should indeed talk about it." ”

Regarding Chai Qingguo's attitude, Chen Ke couldn't help but nod again and again, he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
