Although the "August 12 armed opium smuggling case" and the "August 17 hijacking of a prisoner's car" case have been temporarily closed, and Chen Shirong is also at the top of the list of wanted criminals, the impact of this series of incidents has not completely subsided.

On August 21, at an enlarged meeting of the management committee held at the base, these cases became the main topic of the meeting. First of all, the head of the joint investigation team, Minister of Justice Zhao Quy Ren, briefed all participants on the course and outcome of a series of incidents. Although the gossip has been circulating internally for the past few days, this is the first time that most people have learned the full picture of the incident. Time travel happened to run into opium smuggling, and everyone didn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky. Wei Bozhi, who has rarely been angry, severely criticized the organizers and executors of this operation, "Transporting materials through time and space, such an important operation, why is there no response personnel in the new time and space?" The space-time channel is the foundation for us to gain a foothold in the new time and space, and it is the greatest support for us to defeat the British and a series of internal and external enemies in the future and build a new society. If something happens, it will be a disaster for the survivors of both the new and old planes. Therefore, the management committee believes that the organizers and executors of this operation have different degrees of malfeasance. Several parties sitting in the audience were frightened and did not dare to look up, so they looked at each other. If this crime is not big or small, I don't know how to punish it. Listening to Wei Bozhi's "dereliction of duty" rather than "dereliction of duty", a few people felt a little better. However, Wei Bozhi did not let them die happily, and did not announce the punishment of them, "Recently, we have won a series of military victories, and the feeling of pride and complacency has grown, and some comrades' tails have been cocked, thinking that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, and no one cares about it. It's child's play with work......"

A sentence is like a knife piercing the hearts of several parties, and being criticized by the leader so unnamed made several young people blush. The main responsible person, Lieutenant Li Wei, the leader of the detachment, stood up, "Leaders, comrades, this is all my fault, my pride and complacency, and my carelessness. The action is my responsibility, it's no one else's business, I'm guilty, I'm sorry for the leadership and everyone's trust in me......" As he spoke, Li Weizhi's voice choked. When his superiors arranged for him to be in charge of this operation independently, he did feel a little proud, thinking that he had been appreciated by the leadership. When planning specific actions, he believed that in the area of Saigon in the new plane, it was no longer possible for a sea force to threaten him, and even if the indigenous fishermen saw the passage of time and space, they would not understand what was going on, but it would add a layer of mystery to the survivors. And it's very difficult to coordinate with the two planes, he just wants to be lazy, but it turns out to be right and wrong.

Li Weiyi made a review with a handful of snot and tears, deeply analyzing the root of his paralyzing thoughts, so that everyone felt that he had realized his mistake, and there was no need to be too harsh on him, after all, he was a young man! Huang Fanding said with relief: "Xiao Li, okay, okay, just recognize your mistakes." Our tradition has always been to punish the past and save others, and it is enough that you have recognized your mistakes and are determined not to make the same mistakes again. People are not sages, who can be without fault, it would be good to change it! ”

Under everyone's words of comfort, Li Weizhi calmed down and sat back in his seat. At this time, Li Shanglong, the chief of staff sitting in the first row, stood up, "Regarding this accident, I also want to review it with everyone, this time I also made the mistake of being careless...... Although Li Shanglong felt that he was purely affected, he also knew that he would definitely not be able to run away from the leadership responsibility of not knowing people and ineffective supervision, so he simply took the initiative to stand up and review, and he could also win some sympathy points.

Under his leadership, several responsible persons who participated in the action came forward one after another and carried out self-criticism. In the end, Wei Bozhi announced the punishment decision for the relevant personnel, Li Shanglong, as the person in charge of the original space-time material collection work, has leadership responsibility for the accident, and the punishment is a warning within the army and a transfer from his current post; Li Weizhi, the main person responsible for the accident, remembered a major mistake, reported it to the whole army, transferred from his original post, and was locked up for five days; The rest of the relevant personnel also have punishments of different sizes, Nong Fuquan has just arrived, and the work procedures are not clear, and of course the board can't hit him.

The matter is not over yet, Li Shanglong has been transferred, and of course someone has to take over his position. When Wei Bozhi was about to announce the appointment of Bi Shengke to succeed him, someone in the audience stood up, "Director Wei, I ask to speak!" ”

Seeing the red hair of the person standing up, and the big braid hanging down the back of his head, everyone knew that there was a good show. Although Wei Bozhi was a little unhappy that someone arbitrarily interrupted the process of the meeting, he couldn't help but let people speak, after all, internal democracy still needs to be talked about. So he asked, "Major Nan, do you have any comments or suggestions?" ”

It was Nanren who asked to speak, because of her performance in the Battle of Shenzhen Bay, and after the Battle of Hong Kong, the General Political Department awarded her the rank of Army Major. But it was only a military rank, and she was not assigned any position, nominally letting her be in charge of all the female soldiers in the Liberation Army, but these female soldiers were scattered in confidential, communications, medical, logistics and other departments, and each had its own superior, and it was not her turn to manage. She once wanted to start a women's combat unit, but she didn't respond because few people responded. So although she is the highest-ranking female soldier, she is also the one with the most idleness, and this time she targeted the position left by Li Shanglong. "I ask for the approval of the management committee, and I will take over the work of the head of the material collection team!"

Nanren's horizontal insertion was unexpected by everyone, and discussions immediately rang out in the venue. For a long time, the arrangement of military and political posts has basically been based on the occupation of the survivors before the "catastrophe" and the personal abilities shown after the "catastrophe", and then discussed and decided by the meeting of the Standing Committee of the Management Committee. Although there are cases of self-recommendation, it is the first time that such an open competition for a seat with others has appeared. Some people in the venue appreciated it, some opposed it, and more people watched the excitement with the attitude of playing soy sauce.

For the first time, someone wanted to overturn or revise the decision of the management committee, which caught the leaders of all generations on the stage off guard, Wei Bozhi coughed twice, "Comrade Nanren, the management committee has already arranged for this position. We already know that you are willing to actively contribute to the collective, and next time if there is a suitable position, the management committee will give you priority. His tone made one think he was coaxing a little girl who didn't get her favorite toy.

"This appointment was decided by the nine of you behind closed doors, without asking everyone's opinion, at least not me." Nanren directly pointed the finger at the nine standing committee members of the management committee on the stage, which are commonly known as the "Nine Elders" by the survivors. After the merger of Dongguan and Shenzhen, the management committee was re-elected, Wei Bozhi, Tan Fei, and Wu Yizhi became one of the Standing Committee members, while Shen Xingshi, Zhuang Xueer and others gave up their positions, which was also the result of a compromise between the two sides. "I am also a member of the management committee, and I ask for a revision of the procedure for appointing leaders in all departments except the army. The appointment of a post such as the head of the material collection team must be discussed by the plenary meeting of the Management Committee. As soon as Nanren's words fell, warm applause immediately rang out in the venue, and those who dared to challenge the leader were heroes in the eyes of everyone, not to mention that this hero was still a woman.

Applause represents public opinion, and the nine people on the stage also have to pay attention to it, Ma Angelica asked: "Xiao Nan, then what do you suggest?" ”

"Quite simply, these positions can be decided by competitive recruitment." Nam Jin already has a mature idea on this issue, and now he just needs to talk about it one by one. "When there is a vacancy in the position, it will be announced by the management committee, and all adult survivors can apply for the competition. After the exclusion of those who do not meet the conditions, the entire committee of the management committee votes on the selection, and after the selection of the candidates, it is announced to all survivors for three days, and if there is no objection, the formal appointment can be made. The method Nanren said is not new, and the procedure for appointing government officials before the "cataclysm" was similar to this, but it was inevitably a formality, and the promotion and appointment of officials mostly depended on the will of the leaders. Nanren's intention was also to fundamentally break this bad rule and avoid premature bureaucratization of the organization of the Liberation Army.

Nam Jen's proposal was supported by the vast majority of the attendees, and the more than 300 people present, half of whom were members of the management committee, certainly did not object to having more power. Shen Xing was the first to stand up in support of Nanren's proposal, "The appointment of leadership positions is related to the success or failure of our cause, and in the appointment of important posts, we should listen to a wider range of opinions to avoid capable comrades from missing the opportunity to display their ambitions." Therefore, I support Comrade Nanren's proposal and ask the management committee to implement it as a system. After Shen Xingshi sat down, Li Xiangqian next to him quipped: "Didn't you hear that she almost abolished your martial arts before?" Why are you still going to beat a side drum for her? ”

Shen Xingshi smiled awkwardly, "One yard is one yard, am I still a big man and a woman?" At this time, I heard Zhuang Xue'er shouting there, "Not allowing women to hold leadership positions is machismo, and it is Chiguoguo's sexist ......" The two couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. Of the 138 members of the management committee, there are only seven women, not even a fraction, no wonder Zhuang Xueer is complaining there.

The meeting came here, and although the topic deviated Nanren, the management committee had to follow her. It turned out that the appointment of Bi Shengke could only be annulled, and several female generals struck while the iron was hot and put forward a motion to vote on the spot to elect the head of the material collection team. Speaking of which, this position does not require any professional skills, but tests a person's management and overall planning skills, and among women who account for only 30% of the total number of survivors, Nanren's ability in this regard is the most prominent. It's just that a bunch of big men have never thought of obeying a woman's command. After all the fuss just now, no one, including Bi Shengke, who had already organized a conversation and was about to take office, was embarrassed to compete with a woman for a seat. With only one candidate, Nam in was elected as the new head of the material collection team with more than 70% of the vote. Most of the remaining 20%+ chose to abstain, and only a few voted against it. According to Namin's own proposed procedure, her appointment will be announced to all survivors for three days, and will take effect as long as no one can raise a reasonable objection.

Nanren completed a Standing Committee blockade beautifully without connecting in advance, which was impressive for a while. And her success also created a precedent for women to actively participate in politics in New China, and women are no longer embellishments and symbols in officialdom, but real participants. After her, China's first female county magistrate, the first female provincial governor, and even the first female prime minister appeared.
