In September 1965, in the Wujia Garden in Beijing, Yitong ** added a touch of luster to the life of the old general. ** On the other end is Peng Zhen, who invited the old general to come back and participate in the construction of the third line in the southwest. This news made Mr. Peng excited, but he was also a little hesitant. It has been six years since he was idle, will there be any comrades who will raise objections?
As expected, some people objected, however, ** stood up and stood up: "Someone doesn't agree to find me!".This sentence made the veteran general who had always paid for the party and the people feel gratified. As early as the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the veteran general has always been a general with outstanding military achievements, and he was personally awarded the rank of marshal. However, at a meeting in 1959, Mr. Peng had a difference of opinion with ***, and he lived a quiet life for 6 years after stepping down as Minister of Defense.
In Wujia Garden, he lived a quiet life isolated from the world, although he was still a member of the first committee, but he felt that he could not do practical things for the country, and chose to clear the national resources. During this time, the boss came to visit many times, but because he was busy, he sent Yang Shangkun to care about him. Mr. Peng has a straightforward personality and is outspoken, and although he has differences with ***, the friendship between the two old revolutionary comrades-in-arms has always been the same.
In the autumn of 1965, in order to deal with the nuclear threat of the Soviet Union, the country launched the construction of the third line in the southwest. **Trust Mr. Peng's civil and military skills, and send him to preside over this important work. So, Peng Zhen called Mr. Peng and told him to make a comeback. The old general was excited, and as long as he could contribute to the country and the people again, he was willing to do anything.
However, Mr. Peng was also a little hesitant in his heart. After all, there was no work for six years, and I was afraid that there would be comrades who would oppose it. Sure enough, at the ** meeting, some young people strongly opposed Mr. Peng's comeback. **Stand up and make a speech in support of Mr. Peng: "* Go to the southwest, this is the party's policy, if someone disagrees, ask him to talk to me, I used to oppose *** is positive, and now I want to support him is also sincere, the view of Lao Peng should be divided into two, and I myself am like this." ”
This sentence made Mr. Peng feel relieved, and the support of ** made him no longer hesitate. After a short exchange with ***, the old general immediately went south and went to Sichuan to serve as the deputy director of the Southwest Third Line Construction Committee. Although the position is lower than before, Mr. Peng doesn't care. He ate and lived with workers in Sichuan and escorted the construction of the third line. During this period, Mr. Peng also fulfilled his wish many years ago and found the whereabouts of the 400 Red Army soldiers who died on the way to build a revolutionary base in Sichuan.
When he returned to work this time, the veteran general did not put on a show, but shared weal and woe with the vast number of workers and did practical things for the people. Mr. Peng has interpreted the real communist fighter with practical actions, and his spirit of selflessness and serving the country and the people is a model worthy of our Xi.
