"Two experts": what political cadres should look like in the new era —— From the TV series "meritorious deeds · capable of literature and martial arts, Li Yannian" ● becoming "two experts" is the role orientation, era responsibility and necessary quality of political cadres In the recently popular TV series "meritorious deeds · Li Yannian capable of writing and martial arts", Li Yannian left a deep impression on many viewers: when doing ideological and political work, his simple words made soldiers enlightened; Commanding the battle, his flexible tactics made the enemy lose the battle. "Such a political cadre who is able to write, write and fight is so charming." "Li Yannian is a model of 'two experts'"... In the comment area, one post after another spontaneously reflects the audience's praise for Li Yannian's excellent military and political skills, and reveals everyone's expectations for political cadres in the new era. If you can't win in the battlefield, everything is zero. All the work of the army is centered on being able to fight and win wars, and political work is no exception. The prestige of political cadres can not be "blown" by mouth or "established" by organizational orders. They can only be established by their excellent skills in both military and political affairs and both civil and military affairs. President Xi clearly pointed out that political cadres should strive to learn military, command and science and technology, comprehensively improve their comprehensive quality and practical ability, and become experts in political work and military work. To become "two experts" is the role orientation, the responsibility of the times and the necessary quality of political cadres. Practice has proved that the more powerful the service of political cadres in the war, the more prominent their position will be; The deeper the political work goes into the training field, the more significant the role will be. Only when political cadres do their job well and take command of war as their mission, can they truly establish the prestige of political cadres and give better play to the power of political work. Our army has always advocated that there is no separation between military and government. It is our army's fine tradition that political cadres can do ideological work and command war. The resolution of the Gutian Conference has long pointed out that the separation of political organs, political training and military is "a major mistake". During the war years, there were countless political cadres with "two experts". Comrade Mao Zedong rarely held direct military posts, but personally commanded hundreds of campaigns, large and small; Although Comrade Deng Xiaoping has always been in the political work post, he has always fought in the front line of military struggle and said that his real specialty is war; Among the marshals of the Republic, four were political work cadres and five concurrently served as political commissars... It was by relying on a large number of commanders who could kill the enemy and dismount to do ideological work. Relying on these "two experts" who could stand up and lead the soldiers to attack the enemy and sit down and talk with the soldiers, our army was invincible and invincible, creating one brilliant record after another. "Leading people by orders is better than taking the lead." excellent combat ability is not only the "qualification certificate" for leading soldiers to fight, but also the "pass" for carrying out political work. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, our army has done a lot of work to encourage political cadres to become "two experts". For example, "focus on fighting effectively" is regarded as a clear standard for political organs and political cadres; For another example, the newly revised regulations on military political work clearly stipulates that political commissars, political instructors, political instructors and the chief military officers of their units are both heads of units and commanders, and put forward requirements for political cadres to implement organizational command, improve military quality and become "two experts" in political and military work. Political cadres are duty bound to fight and duty bound to fight. At present, the vast majority of political cadres have become conscious of learning military and command, but some political cadres still fall short of the standard of "two experts". Some have forgotten their commander's identity and become military "lame", becoming "bystanders" in training and "laymen" in war; Some use professional standards instead of war standards. They sit in more conference rooms, go less to the training ground, take more pens and touch less guns; Some planning work is not to study what war needs, but to figure out how to produce "results", not to study the methods of defeating the enemy, but to meditate on the methods of famous registration. Behind these phenomena is the lack of the string of war in the depths of our minds. The collimator did not lock in combat effectiveness. He shouted to prepare for war, but he did not have a sense of hardship, urgency and responsibility to win. Preparing for war is the fundamental function of our army and the fundamental value of political work. In particular, with the evolution of war forms and combat styles, giving full play to the direct combat function of political work has been paid more and more attention by the armed forces all over the world. The strategic position of the combat functions of political work such as public opinion warfare, psychological warfare and legal warfare has been continuously improved, which has a significant impact on the process and outcome of the war. All these put forward new and higher requirements for the ability and quality of political cadres. There is an urgent need for political cadres to have both military and political skills and the integration of command and technology, vigorously study the effective ways to carry out political work and give full play to the combat function of political work in information war, and improve the contribution rate of political work to combat effectiveness in striving to be "two experts". To become "two experts", political cadres must study hard and practice military skills in peacetime. Political cadres are the protagonists of battlefield mobilization and the benchmark of fighting. They must take learning military affairs and planning war as their main courses, grasp their main business and bear their main responsibilities. Only by taking winning the war as the first responsibility and being able to fight the war as the first skill, can we add "Military" to business training, highlight the "battlefield flavor" in political work research and practice, go to the training ground more often, devote ourselves to learning military affairs, command, science and technology, practice weapons, master strategies, study war, prepare for war, take the lead in loving the army, practicing martial arts, being proficient in military skills, Can we consciously take political work as our own duty, take commanding war as our mission, and strive to be "two experts". To become "two experts", political cadres must strengthen their training in major tasks. Joint exercises, comprehensive exercises, rescue and disaster relief, maintaining stability and dealing with emergencies and other major tasks are not only the "touchstone" to test the military command level of political cadres, but also the "sharpening stone" to temper "two experts". In major tasks, political cadres must consciously abandon the old routine of exercising and training only as "observers" and not as commanders. They should take advantage of military exercises and performing non war military operational tasks, be aware of the exercise and training of front-line commanders, wrestle in the whole process, and improve their ability to organize training, command operations and carry out wartime political work. Familiar with the operation process through job exchange and special learning, exercise excellent skills in task practice, deeply study the action mechanism, operation mechanism and realization ways of wartime political work, and strengthen the operation function of political work according to the actual combat needs. To make political cadres "two experts", we should also establish a clear employment orientation. "What people are used at the top and what people are used at the bottom." where the guidance is established, the mind and energy of political cadres will be invested and the political work will be concentrated. At present, employers at all levels attach importance to the real ability of "being able to fight", but some party committees still adhere to the concept of "being able to speak when standing up and write when sitting down", and pay insufficient attention to the evaluation of the military quality of political cadres, resulting in the phenomenon that political cadres despise the military quality to varying degrees. Only by establishing a clear evaluation standard system for political cadres, highlighting the leading role of military quality in the evaluation standard for political cadres, forcing political cadres to consciously cultivate excellent skills and constantly improve military quality, can we cultivate, use and retain political cadres who are good at planning war, dare to fight hard war and can win war, and create a "two experts" for everyone A strong atmosphere.
