After a day of investigation and evidence collection, the investigation team combined with the questioning of the two wounded sergeant majors, and the matter was already clear.

In itself, such a matter can be decided by meeting and discussing it with the two brigade commanders. However, the brigade commander decided to convene a party committee to seek everyone's opinions and deal with the matter.

The political commissar has no opinion, this matter is big or small, and if you want to handle this matter more fairly and openly, it is undoubtedly the safest to convene a party committee.

When the guard brought food to Meng Chuan in the morning, he also brought him news, "The two sergeant majors are nothing serious, and the doctor said that they only need to recuperate for a few months to grow well, and they can only be regarded as minor injuries." ”

When Meng Chuan heard that it was only a minor injury, the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and it was good if it was no big deal, so that the responsibility would be lighter.

When the party committee was convened, the brigade commander authorized Meng Chuan to attend the meeting, and Meng Chuan was not a member of the party committee, let alone a member of the standing committee of the party committee, so he was not qualified to participate in this meeting, but the brigade commander turned the party committee into an enlarged meeting, and only expanded Meng Chuan alone, which is quite strange.

The party committee itself was held to discuss how to punish Meng Chuan, and now Meng Chuan is also expanded into it, which is subtle, so the leaders are figuring out what the brigade commander and the political commissar mean, what do they want to do?

When Meng Chuan was notified that he was going to attend the enlarged meeting of the party committee, he was also stunned, he was a cadre who made mistakes, and he was still qualified to participate in the enlarged meeting of the party committee of the brigade headquarters?

But since the chief is going to open, then Meng Chuan won't say anything. Go and go, anyway, in the past, I will say whatever you ask, and I won't say anything if you don't ask.

There were a lot of people from the party committee, not only the Standing Committee members came, but even all the members arrived, dozens of people in a conference room sat densely, all the school officials, and Meng Chuan, who was watching, was still a little cautious.

The brigade commander saw Meng Chuan coming in, and pointed to the empty chair, "Go and sit over there." ”

The people in the conference room felt that Meng Chuan was very unfamiliar, and they felt that they had never seen this person at all, a brigade was not small, but it was by no means very large, and an officer with the rank of captain was not low, even if he didn't know him, at least he could see a familiar face.

But Meng Chuan himself is not impressed at all, but the brigade commander knows him, and it seems that he has a good relationship, so it seems that he will pay more attention to this captain in the future.

Seeing that all the people were gathered, the political commissar coughed and said: "Today's enlarged meeting of the party committee is mainly to study the accident that occurred in the synthetic camp yesterday. Staff Officer Xu, you are the leader of the investigation team, please introduce the situation. ”

When Staff Officer Xu heard the words of the political commissar, he immediately stood up, picked up the materials and said: "After our questioning of the two sergeant majors who were injured in the accident, we added the results of the investigation of the anti-aircraft artillery company and the heavy artillery company of the synthetic battalion. At that time, Deputy Battalion Commander Meng Chuan, who was in charge of the repair shop, was holding a party committee meeting at the battalion headquarters to study the 'Report on Strengthening the Building of the Party Contingent of Party Cadres'. ”

"Before going to the party committee, Deputy Battalion Commander Meng Chuan repeatedly instructed the non-compliant sergeant major to operate carefully, but the non-compliant sergeant major did not listen to the advice and operated in violation of regulations without authorization, which led to the occurrence of this accident."

"After our discussions, the opinion of the investigation team is that although the accident that occurred during the study of the meeting was a crime committed against the wind. However, Comrade Meng Chuan, the main person in charge, is only jointly and severally responsible, and the most important responsibility should be attributed to the squad leader of the repair squad. ”

"However, given that both sergeant majors have been injured and their attitude towards admitting their mistakes is positive, we recommend lenient punishment for both sergeant majors."

The opinion of the investigation team is the most intuitive opinion, but it is not the final opinion, and the final decision must be announced by the brigade commander.

After listening to the report of the investigation team, the political commissar and the brigade commander said: "Do you have any opinions?" ”

None of them dared to express their position first, they had to listen to what the two leaders had to say, and they would know what to say.

Seeing that everyone was afraid to speak, the political commissar smiled, "What's the matter, this is a party committee, not listening to the teacher's class, if you have anything to say, not only the Standing Committee can say it, but the members can also say it, and whoever has an opinion can say it." ”

The commissar's words had an effect, and at this time a major stood up, "Commissar, I very much agree with the recommendations of the investigation team. It is true that we are leading cadres, and we cannot hold the leaders accountable just because the people below have made mistakes, which is too unfair to the leaders. And at that time, Deputy Battalion Commander Meng Chuan had repeatedly reminded them to pay attention to safety and pay attention to safety, but the people below did not listen, so if something happened, if they were chasing the responsibility of Deputy Battalion Commander Meng Chuan, it was really a bit unreasonable. ”

As soon as the major's voice fell, a lieutenant colonel stood up, "I don't agree with your statement, why should the organization give us such a leadership position, that is, let us take responsibility, you said that the sergeant major violated the law, but did the leader not play a good supervisory role?" Although Deputy Battalion Commander Meng Chuan explained many times before opening the party committee to pay attention to safety, it was only a verbal explanation, and was it implemented by someone to supervise? ”

"In addition, this time it was committed during the study of the whole army, and it is a crime committed against the wind. Therefore, I suggest that not only should the punishment not be lenient, but even the punishment should be increased, and the leaders should be made aware of their own role, rather than trying to evade responsibility in everything. ”

As soon as the two men spoke, the conference room immediately became noisy, some agreeing with the Major's words and some with the Lieutenant Colonel's words.

The brigade commander looked at the political commissar at this time, "Lao He, which view do you agree with?" ”

Political Commissar He shook his head and did not directly say whose opinion he agreed with, "If I don't know Meng Chuan's resume, I will agree with the lieutenant colonel's statement, a cadre's own responsibility is not to manage himself, but also to manage his subordinates." It is true that the illegal operation is the responsibility of the sergeant major, but after all, it is also Meng Chuan who has not fulfilled his supervisory responsibilities, and the opening of the party committee itself is not a reason, and it cannot be said that because of the opening of the party committee, it is not realistic to ignore things. ”

"But since I know Meng Chuan's resume, I know what kind of person Meng Chuan is, I don't want to be punished heavily, Meng Chuan is a good comrade, he has made so many merits before, and he will be severely punished just for making a mistake, I think it is unkind."

After hearing the words of the political commissar, the brigade commander thought for a while, "After listening to your analysis, I agree with the lieutenant colonel's opinion even more." It is good for a soldier to make many meritorious contributions, but it cannot be offset by this. Now let's put aside his merits, just talk about his own responsibility for this matter, Meng Chuan is indeed at fault, and it was a mistake made during the study of the whole army, which is a crime committed against the wind, and it should be punished heavily. ”

The political commissar smiled, "Then let's raise our hands to vote and listen to everyone's opinions." ”

The brigade commander nodded, "Yes." ”

At this time, the political commissar cleared his throat, and the conference room immediately quieted down, "Then let's vote by a show of hands, and if you agree to punish Comrade Meng Chuan lightly, please raise your hand." ”

The conference room immediately burst into an uproar, and the political commissar counted the number of people, and seventeen people agreed with a lighter punishment.

"If you agree to punish Comrade Meng Chuan severely, please raise your hand."

This time, there were a lot of people, and after the political commissar counted them, there were 21 people. Three others abstained.

On the show of hands, there were four more votes in favor of a heavier punishment than a lighter punishment, which was unfavorable to Meng Chuan, but a slight number of votes did not represent the final opinion, and the political commissar looked at the several Standing Committee members sitting on the edge of the table, "What is the opinion of your Standing Committee members?" ”

The opinions of the Standing Committee members are very important in the party committee, which is enough to make up for the slightly less vote, but the Standing Committee members are all elites, and they want to figure out what the two leaders mean first, and then they are standing in line, so that nothing goes wrong.

None of the Standing Committee members were willing to express their position, but the brigade commander said first, "I agree to a heavier punishment." ”

At this time, several members of the Standing Committee immediately chimed in: "We agree with the brigade commander's opinion and impose a heavier punishment on Meng Chuan. ”

When the political commissar heard the brigade commander's words, he also understood what he meant, so he also said, "My opinion is that it is neither a heavy punishment nor a light punishment, just follow the standard punishment according to the regulations." ”

The two leaders have already expressed their position, and the result is obvious, Meng Chuan's responsibility cannot be escaped, and he will definitely be punished within the party, so the front line behaved very consistently, and they all agreed to punish Meng Chuan from a heavier aspect.

Meng Chuan heard the opinion of the brigade commander, and there was no objection, Meng Chuan didn't want to evade his responsibility, and if he did something wrong, he should be punished, there was nothing to say.

After studying and deciding on the party committee of the brigade headquarters, it was decided to give Meng Chuan the punishment of demotion, retain the administrative staff at the deputy battalion level, demote him to the commander of the heavy artillery company of the composite battalion, and demote the commander of the heavy artillery company to the deputy company commander.

This is already a heavy punishment, since it is the decision of the brigade party committee, it is not a matter of whether Meng Chuan admits it or not, he just needs to obey.

The punishment decision was announced directly to Meng Chuan on the spot, and Meng Chuan also confirmed that he accepted the punishment.

Just when Meng Chuan thought that the meeting was about to end, the brigade commander spoke, "Do you know why an enlarged meeting of the party committee was held this time, and it was only expanded to Meng Chuan?" ”

Everyone was a little confused when they heard the brigade commander's words, wasn't this meeting held to solve the accident that happened yesterday, what else could there be?

As for the enlarged meeting, it was only expanded to Meng Chuan, which is also something that everyone really didn't figure out, and he is not a glorious person, as a cadre who made mistakes, he can still participate in the enlarged meeting of the party committee, they are also very puzzled.

At this time, the political commissar looked at the documents beside him, "Send the information to everyone." ”

The clerk immediately handed out a large pile of materials in front of the table.

Seeing that the personnel had been assigned a copy of the information, the political commissar said: "Today's enlarged meeting is not only for dealing with accidents, but also for strengthening learning. Let's take a look at the information first, and when we finish reading the information, everyone is actively speaking. ”
