The train driver in the courtyard

The Tongzhou switch station collision accident was named the "9.27" accident in accordance with regulations.

After the "9.27" accident, although it caused quite a stir in the railway department, it did not actually cause too much disturbance.

After all, the accident did not cause any casualties.

There is nothing new under the sun.

The Ministry of Railways has hundreds of thousands of employees, which is almost the same as a medium-sized city. How could there not be a few accidents every day?
As long as the accident is investigated thoroughly, those who should be arrested will be arrested, and those who should be punished will be punished in accordance with relevant regulations.

There will still be trains running on the tracks tomorrow.

However, things seem to be a little different this time.

First, the Beijing Railway Bureau's "9.27" accident investigation team delayed releasing the accident investigation report.

There were also rumors coming out from the Beijing Bureau that Team Leader Ma Dele, who was in charge of investigating the accident, slammed the table at the bureau leaders during a meeting.

General Manager Ma Dele is a well-known good guy. He can smile even when someone spits in front of him. Who made him angry?
After everyone asked around, they found out that it was because Ma Dele put the main blame on the Progress Office of Qianmen Locomotive Depot in the accident investigation report.

Ma Dele's actions stirred up a hornet's nest and were strongly opposed by some bureau leaders.

The leaders of the bureau took turns to do ideological work on Ma Dele, hoping that he would change his mind.

Ma Dele was very stubborn this time and shouted in front of all the leaders: "If you want to change the investigation results, then fire him as the investigation team leader first."

Now it was the turn of the bureau leaders to be in a difficult position. There had never been a precedent of firing the head of an investigation team before the results of the investigation were released.

If this matter gets out, anyone who knows about it will think there is something fishy, ​​as if someone is covering up for someone.

The two sides remained in a stalemate.

Another thing was that safety meetings were held for two consecutive days, at which the leaders severely criticized the increasing number of safety accidents in recent times.

Safety is a major issue on the railways, so it is not surprising that it has attracted the attention of leaders.

The key point is that the leaders said at the conference that "some people are making trouble", which had to attract the attention of some people.

Wang Wude, director of the Progress Office of Qianmen Locomotive Depot, is one of them.

Ever since the accident investigation team arrested Commissioner Zhao at Tongzhou Station, Wang Wude felt something was wrong.

He personally requested the investigation team in the name of the office director to release Commissioner Zhao immediately and cooperate with the work of the Progress Office, but was rejected by Ma Dele.

Wang Wude went to the department again to complain to his old leader.

The old leader personally came forward to put pressure on the Beijing Bureau, but Ma Dele threatened to quit, and the leaders of the Beijing Bureau could do nothing.

The old leader looked very calm and said that even if Commissioner Zhao was arrested, it would not affect the overall situation.

After all, Commissioner Zhao was just a temporary worker, so if you could save someone like him, you would just save him.

If it cannot be saved, it is necessary to cut it off as soon as possible to avoid being implicated.

People who want to do great things must not be soft-hearted.

"Wu De, as the director of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot's Progress Office, you must hold your ground! We must not let our cause fall by the wayside."

Wang Wude made a verbal assurance, but he sensed something was wrong from his old leader's restlessness.

But Wang Wude was not too worried.

After all, the Office of Advancement is responding to calls from above.

No matter in the bureau or section, who can do anything to the Progress Office? !
"Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind!" After Wang Wude returned to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, he was deeply moved for a moment. He picked up a brush and wrote a line of big characters on the snow-white rice paper.

At this time, Assistant Zhang knocked on the door and walked in.

Unlike in the past, Assistant Zhang did not admire his flourishes or offer flattering words, but instead handed him a newspaper.

"Director, this is today's Railway News."

"Put it there."

The big characters were not appreciated, Wang Wude's tone was a little stiff and his attitude was very cold.

Wang Wude doesn’t really think that his handwriting can compare with those of the great calligraphers.

But I still like others to flatter me, not because of vanity, but because flattery itself is a test of obedience.

Only those who are willing to obey him will tell lies with their eyes open and flatter him against their will.

You can feel at ease employing such talents.

The person who was originally keen on flattering others has suddenly changed his attitude unconsciously. Something must have happened that he doesn't know about, and he should be alert.

The assistant didn't know that Wang Wude had misunderstood him just because he didn't flatter him.

He couldn't care less at this moment, and shook the newspaper loudly: "Director, please take a look at the newspaper."

Wang Wude narrowed his eyes and looked at his assistant. Seeing the assistant's firm attitude, he felt that something was wrong. He put down the brush, picked up a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and took the newspaper.

With just one glance, Wang Wude saw the article "Safety in Production is the First Priority of Railway Transportation".

It’s not because the article is so prominent, even though it’s in the corner of the second edition.

Above "Harbin Railway Bureau organizes female employees to participate in a singing competition" and on the left of "A section of Lanzhou Railway Bureau takes advantage of its own strengths to raise rabbits."

This is mainly because there are too many signatures on this article, more than a hundred in total, so densely packed that they look like a group of ants.

"For railway transportation, safe production is the top priority. Without safety, there is nothing. Safe production requires the guarantee of rules and regulations. It is also necessary to establish a unified and standardized system to ensure railway safety with strict systems."

The article seems ordinary, but it mentions rules and regulations repeatedly and points out the dangers of violating them.

Especially the last sentence: "Ignoring safety regulations and blindly doing things is sabotaging railway construction!"

Among the hundreds of train drivers' names, the first one is Li Aiguo, followed by Zhang Yuan and Cao Wenzhi. They are all train drivers of Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

Wang Wude was holding the article in his hand, and he heard the sound of cannon fire in his ears!

This is not an article.

It's a cannon.

Now the black muzzle was pointed at him.

"Something happened, something big happened!" Wang Wude's face suddenly changed and he walked around the office with a newspaper in his hand.

Assistant Zhang reminded quietly: "Director, Li Aiguo and his men have already started. Should we..."

"Yes, yes, yes, we have to inform our old leader immediately about this." Wang Wude suddenly picked up the phone and called his old leader's office.

The old leader seemed to have known about the article.

"Wu De, Qianmen Locomotive Depot is your territory, how could this happen?"

"I was negligent. I have been keeping an eye on the Education Office to prevent anyone from submitting articles to the newspaper. I just checked and the editor on the newspaper is Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhao Ning.

Normally, this kind of trivial article only needs to be reviewed by an ordinary editor, but now the deputy editor-in-chief has to come forward in person. Someone must have used a backdoor.

I also suspect that this article was supported by Director Xing.”

Wang Wude made a self-criticism on the phone.

"Since it has already happened, it is meaningless to pursue responsibility. Wude, don't be afraid. We are riding on the wind. You should immediately execute the established plan. Our west wind must overwhelm the east wind."

Listening to the powerful voice coming from the phone, Wang Wude clenched his fists excitedly.

He has long wanted to do something big.

It’s just that the old leader has always felt that the time is not right. Now that the enemy has launched an attack, he can finally show his strength.

Wang Wude put down the phone and looked at the big trees outside that were rustling in the strong wind, with a sneer on his face.

He turned to look at Assistant Zhang and said, "Immediately notify all the employees of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot to attend the meeting in the name of the Progress Office."

"What if the employees ask about the content of the meeting?" Assistant Zhang was a little worried.

Wang Wude said coldly: "Respond to the call from the superiors and increase the amount of progress!"

"understood."

As long as the big hat is put on them, those employees will definitely come to the meeting obediently.

As long as the conference is held and the support of the conference is controlled, even section chief Xing and other section leaders will have to stand aside, and then Li Aiguo and his gang of train drivers will have no choice but to surrender.

Wang Wude had experienced countless battles and was very familiar with doing this kind of thing.

Assistant Zhang immediately left the office and went to arrange for the meeting.

"I don't think these rough guys will give in so easily."

Wang Wude pondered for a moment, then picked up the phone and informed the staff of the Progress Office.

"Gather together immediately. Oh, and bring your steel chisels with you."

The real battle is definitely not just about talking.
-
On the other side, the assistant had already arrived at the broadcasting room of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

Broadcaster Liu Chun saw his assistant push the door open.

As he greeted everyone warmly, he extended his foot covertly and kicked off the loose threads on the back of the machine.

"Assistant Zhang, you are here."

"Turn on the radio. I want to announce the orders from the Office of Advancement."

"Okay." Liu Chun pretended to be in a panic and turned on the switch.

He made a beeping sound at first, then he was busy plugging in the power and checking the circuits.

"What's going on?!" the assistant was dissatisfied.

Liu Chun said helplessly: "It's really unfortunate that the radio is broken."

"That's not right. I heard loud shouting on the radio this morning. Announcer Liu, are you kidding me?" The assistant frowned.

Liu Chunxiong spread his hands: "Assistant Zhang, our broadcasting room has implemented new rules and regulations recently, and routine inspections and maintenance have been cancelled. As you know, machines will always break down. If there is no maintenance, they will break down."

What this means is that the responsibility lies entirely with your Office of Advancement.

The assistant also realized that Liu Chun was resisting passively.

"Get out of the way!" The assistant pulled Liu Chun away and wanted to fix the radio himself, but after fiddling with it for a while, he found nothing.

"Liu Bobo, this matter is not over yet!" Assistant Zhang left angrily under Liu Chun's teasing gaze.

He had to go in person to notify the employees to attend the meeting.

After Assistant Zhang's back disappeared at the door, Liu Chun closed the door of the broadcasting room and went downstairs.

He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, then he trotted all the way to the maintenance workshop.

As soon as he reached the door, Liu Chun was stopped by Zhou Ke, who was wearing plain clothes and had a pistol on his waist.

"Where?"

"It's me. I'm Liu Chun from the broadcasting room. I'm here to report the situation to driver Li."

Zhou Ke looked Liu Chun up and down, recognized him, and waved to the side: "Yan Jiecheng, bring Liu Chun in."

Yan Jiecheng flashed out of the workshop and took Liu Chun towards the maintenance workshop.

Along the way, Yan Jiecheng saw some workers oiling the rifles they had received from the Armed Forces Department. When they saw the two of them, they all looked wary. "I'm Yan Jiecheng! The messenger."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly explained his identity.

The employees recognized Yan Jiecheng as Li Aiguo's neighbor and their expressions relaxed.

Yan Jiecheng took Liu Chun to the backyard of the maintenance workshop and came to the yard of Li Aiguo's studio. The shadow of a gun muzzle could be vaguely seen on the wall.

He couldn't help swallowing and knocked on the door.

"Brother Aiguo, Liu Broadcasting is here."

After hearing the response, Yan Jiecheng pushed open the door and walked in with Liu Chun.

The studio has been arranged to look like a command room, with a map of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot hanging on the wall.

Section Chief Xing, several deputy section chiefs, Minister Niu of the Armed Forces Department, Cao Wenzhi, Zhang Da Che, as well as several maintenance workers and representatives of the freight workshop gathered together and were discussing something.

"At present, Wang Wude has not reacted yet, so we in the Liangjian Office must catch him off guard first and make things worse. However, everyone must be careful. We must be reasonable and not use guns easily."

Li Aiguo was giving instructions to the team leaders when he looked up and saw Liu Chun being brought in by Yan Jiecheng.

He smiled and stood up and shook hands with Liu Chun: "Liu Guangbo, have you thought it through?"

Liu Chun straightened his chest and said, "Driver Li, our railway is a unit that transports materials for the country and passengers. The locomotive depot is the locomotive depot of the workers. We must not allow those people with bad intentions to stir up trouble!"

Ever since he decided to take action against the Progress Office, Li Aiguo was very clear that although he had the support of Minister Teng, he was still at a disadvantage because Wang Wude was raising a big banner.

Moreover, according to Li Aiguo's prediction, the Progress Office will soon mobilize the workers further.

So he has to get ahead of the curve.

So the Liangjian Office was established.

At present, the Liangjian Office has received support from 80% of the grassroots employees of Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

In addition, several key departments including the Qianmen Locomotive Depot Police Station, Armed Forces Department, Education Office, Propaganda Department, and Material Department have also joined the Liangjian Office.

The broadcasting room is the most important propaganda base of Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and Li Aiguo has always wanted to get his hands on it.

But Liu Chun was an honest child, and at the beginning he was not willing to get involved in the fight between the two.

Unexpectedly, Liu Chun figured it out in just one day.

"Liu Guangbo, with your joining, our chances of winning are much better." Li Aiguo nodded.

Liu Chun felt a surge of excitement in his heart, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Driver Li, Assistant Zhang from the Progress Office came to the broadcasting room just now. He wants to borrow the radio."

Liu Chun recounted Assistant Zhang's intentions.

Section Chief Xing stood up and said, "According to regulations, to convene a section-wide meeting, the section leader's consent must be obtained. Now Wang Wude has actually left the section alone and plans to hold a meeting on his own. It seems that he is ready to take action."

Minister Niu also agreed with Chief Xing's opinion: "Yesterday Wang Wude asked our Armed Forces Department to provide a batch of weapons to the officers of the Progress Office, but we refused. This guy is playing a big trick."

All of a sudden, everyone in the command room realized that a storm was coming.

After discussing for a while, they turned to look at Li Aiguo, waiting for the decision of the commander-in-chief.

When Yan Jiecheng saw this scene, he felt inexplicably excited.

Although he is not the one commanding these people now, but he is his neighbor!
How great it would be if he could become Li Aiguo.

Yan Jiecheng has been helping to contact employees and leaders these days, and knows the Liangjian Office better than most people.

The Liangjian Office may seem like a makeshift team, but once it starts taking action, the power it can exert far exceeds that of section chief Xing and other section leaders.

Li Aiguo was under a lot of pressure at this time.

He was actually forced into the position of commander-in-chief.

An article can only serve to light a fire.

In order to really start a big fire and cleanse the world of evil spirits, we need to launch a satellite.

In addition, after the article was published, a strong storm broke out, and Zhang Wude from the Progress Office was busy jumping around and contacted many people.

It is not convenient for the department to come forward.

In this case, there must be a unified command system to achieve the goal of launching a satellite.

Section chief Xing and other section leaders have special identities and they represent the Qianmen Locomotive Depot on the surface.

Once intervened, it is likely to cause even bigger storms.

This requires a grassroots worker to carry this banner.

After much consideration, the worker Li Aiguo is the most suitable.

Li Aiguo was not afraid at all.

He knew very well that if the east wind could not overwhelm the west wind, it would bring big trouble to the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

"When facing the enemy, we must be brave enough to draw our swords!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Li Aiguo announced the start of the action with Li Yunlong's words.
-
Qianmen Locomotive Depot at ten o'clock in the morning.

The locomotives roared, train drivers, maintenance workers, and mechanics were all busy at their respective posts, and the air was filled with a calm yet busy atmosphere.

Suddenly, a voice came from the loud speakers spread throughout the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

"Dear workers, please take note. Dear workers, please take note. The decision of the Liangjian Office is that from now on, all decisions of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot's Qianjin Office will be null and void, and all progressive rules and regulations will be cancelled.

From now on, the Qianmen Locomotive Depot and its subordinate switch stations and maintenance stations will continue to implement the original "Railway Technical Management Regulations", "Railway Enterprise Internal Labor Rules", "Transportation Accident Handling Measures", "Training Accident Handling Rules (Draft)" and "Beijing Railway General Administration Train Accident Handling Rules"."

The loud voice instantly spread throughout the Qianmen Locomotive Depot.

Those employees didn't take it too seriously at first, as they knew that the Liangjian Office was going against the Progress Office.

When they heard about the abolition of progressive rules and regulations, they were all shocked.

The employees put down their work, walked out of the workshop, climbed out from under the train, jumped out of the driver's building, and walked to the big loudspeaker in the station yard.

boom.

There were dark clouds in the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they covered the sun completely, and the sky suddenly became dark.

Then, a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, tearing a hole in the inky clouds. The brief but intense light illuminated the astonished faces at the station.

Almost at the same moment when the lightning flashed, deafening thunder exploded, as if to shatter the whole world.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, and the rain poured down, hitting the employees.

But they seemed unaware of it and just stood there staring at the loudspeaker.

"Have the rules and regulations of the Progress Office been abolished?" An old maintenance worker in the crowd squeezed out an incredible sound from his throat. The voice was very weak, but it was not drowned out by the rushing rain.

"Is this a reversal?" A young man was holding a cigarette, the cigarette butt had been extinguished by the rain, making it a mess.

"What do you mean by going backwards?! The rules and regulations of the Progress Office are not reasonable at all. You know how many accidents we have had since they were implemented!"

Someone raised his hand and waved his fist excitedly: "It's Driver Li, it's Driver Li's voice."

As soon as Driver Li said this, the employees who had been in doubt just now started cheering.

"Support the Liangjian Office!"

"Support Driver Lee in abolishing progressive regulations!"

"The Progress Office get out of the Qianmen Locomotive Depot!"

"Get out, get out!"

The crowd became more and more excited, and their shouts echoed in the wind and rain, as if trying to break through the depressing rain curtain.

"Comrades!" Li Aiguo shouted loudly on the radio, his voice trying to penetrate the noise of the wind and rain, "We are engaged in railway transportation, and safety is always the first priority. The regulations of the Progress Office seem advanced, but they ignore the safety hazards in actual operations.

Think about it, in order to speed up the progress, we neglected the time for equipment maintenance. What was the result?

Accidents happen frequently, which not only threatens our work, but also endangers the lives of passengers!
Therefore, today, in the name of an ordinary train driver, in the name of all train drivers in the Qianmen Locomotive Depot, and in the name of the Liangjian Office, I declare the abolition of all unreasonable rules and regulations. "

Summer rain comes quickly and goes away quickly.

At this time, the wind and rain seemed to be a little lighter, and the dark clouds in the sky began to slowly disperse.

The sun shone through the gaps in the clouds, casting a few golden rays of light, which were reflected in the puddles on the station grounds, sparkling with ripples.

"Abolish the new system and restore the old system!" The employees raised their fists.

All of a sudden, the huge and sophisticated machine at the Qianmen Locomotive Depot changed its operating program, and the gears that had been dislocated re-engaged and began to rotate rapidly.
-
"Nonsense, these are the rules and regulations of our Progress Office. Why should this Sword-drawing Office abolish them?"

In the office, Wang Wude was furious when he heard the broadcast through the window.

But he soon calmed down.

"Our Progress Office has the support of the ministry and the endorsement of our superiors. What does Li Aiguo's Sword Office look like?"

Wang Wude turned his head and looked at his assistant: "Xiao Zhang, you must immediately organize the staff to go to various departments and keep an eye on those employees. If they dare not follow our system, deduct all their progress and then hold a meeting to criticize them."

"Yes!" Assistant Wang left the office quickly.

Wang Wude sat back in his chair, thinking about how to report this matter to his old leader.

"Li Aiguo, you want to be the first to stand out, so I will ruin your reputation!"

He picked up the phone and was about to transfer it.

The assistant who had just left came back in a hurry.

"Director, it's bad. All the staff we sent to the workshop were chased back by the workers. The workers even started fighting."

The assistant pointed to the bruise on his forehead.

Wang Wude realized that the situation was not good, so he pushed open the office door and walked out, only to see more than a dozen staff members, all of whom were injured.

Some of them had their clothes torn, some had their hair pulled out, and everyone looked miserable. After meeting Wang Wu'e's gaze, they all hung their heads.

"How shameless!" Wang Wude roared, his voice echoing in the corridor, "How dare they do this? Don't they know the consequences of disobeying orders?"

The assistant was worried: "Director, those workers all listen to Li Aiguo. If this continues, our Progress Office will become an empty shell."

In fact, Wang Wude, who was proficient in combat, also realized the seriousness of the problem without the assistant's reminder.

If this matter is allowed to continue, the entire Qianmen Locomotive Depot will be out of control. Not only will he become a laughing stock, but he will also be punished by his old leader.

Wang Wude knew that he was just a machete to his old leader.

Now this machete can't even cut tofu, so it can only be thrown into the steel furnace for recycling.

"Catch the leader first! As long as we capture Li Aiguo, the rest of the mob will scatter!"

Wang Wude stamped his feet fiercely and shouted at the officers, "Catch them!"

By this time the dark clouds were approaching dusk.

The bright red sunlight reflected on Wang Wude's ferocious face, outlining his twisted and crazy outline, making him look like a beast trapped in despair and fighting desperately.
