After the outbreak of the Korean War, Mr. Peng was ordered to go to North Korea to command the operation in response to the needs of the national situation, and his outstanding performance in the Korean battlefield was highly recognized. It is precisely because of this that after Mr. Peng fell ill on the battlefield, he sent someone to persuade Mr. Peng to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and gave Mr. Peng the best**. However, after Mr. Peng's condition improved, out of the need for development, he asked Mr. Peng to stay in Beijing, and even proposed that Mr. Peng serve as the vice chairman of the Military Commission and be responsible for presiding over the daily work of the Military Commission.
Although Mr. Peng still wanted to return to the Korean battlefield, he finally chose to stay in consideration of the needs of the country. Therefore, he handled the daily work of the military committee very appropriately, and Mr. Peng paid great attention to the construction of the army, after all, Mr. Peng was leading the team to fight in the first half of his life, so he knew very well how the army should develop, so that it could better meet the needs of the follow-up war. Modernizing the army's first-class equipment, rationalizing its establishment, and finally establishing a sound military system and regular training are the goals that Mr. Peng wants to achieve in the future development of the military. But if you want to achieve this goal, you naturally need a person with outstanding ability to lead, after thinking about it again and again, Mr. Peng believes that the person who can take on this heavy responsibility must not only have military merits and qualifications, but also have absolute knowledge and brains, and the best person to meet these conditions is General Zhang Aiping. The reason why he chose Zhang Aiping, Mr. Peng, is that this person is principled and has no selfish intentions, and he will definitely be able to develop the army
With the support of Mr. Peng, Zhang Aiping was transferred to work in the General Staff Headquarters, and Mr. Peng immediately expressed his intention after meeting him, saying that the army should be streamlined and reorganized to achieve a modern and regularized development model, and this work is complicated and will take a long time to complete, and I hope that Zhang Aiping can implement the determination of the Military Commission. Mr. Peng also said that he should formulate the establishment according to the actual situation of his army and not follow the Soviet faction, and it was precisely because of Mr. Peng's words that Zhang Aiping had more personal ideas on the follow-up adaptation. Zhang Aiping said that in the war, no matter what kind of opponent and environment we face, we must have our own unique knowledge and understanding, so that we can seize the initiative, and the same is true for the reorganization of the army. Therefore, after taking into account the current situation of the armed forces, Zhang Aiping said that the ground air defense force and the public security force among the five branches of the armed forces would be abolished, and the reason why he chose to abolish these two branches of the armed forces was that the ground air defense forces could not be equipped with their own planes, and they had to ask the air force for combat, and there was no point in the existence of such a contingent.
The public security forces, on the other hand, do not need to equip units with duplicate functions because they duplicate their responsibilities with the provincial military districts and internal security forces. However, wanting to abolish these two teams will naturally arouse the dissatisfaction of some generals, but Zhang Aiping said that the army should be regarded as private property and should be considered from the overall situation of development. After the reorganization of the army is completed, the next step is the advanced issue, Zhang Aiping said that in the future development of the army, the emphasis on equipment should be placed on the navy and air force.
Zhang Aiping said that the Chinese Army came from poor equipment, so why can't we consider the problem from the perspective of the overall situation without leaving the Army? In this regard, many people said that Zhang Aiping spoke like this because of the backstage, and Zhang Aiping said after hearing this that her backstage was the Communist Party, which made all the participants silent. Afterwards, Mr. Peng said that Zhang Aiping's speech at the meeting was too radical, and Zhang Aiping also realized that she was talking too hard, and said that she would definitely correct it in the future.
