Senior General Chen Geng is playful, lively, and very humorous, so he is very popular with the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Even a serious person like Marshal *** can get along with him cordially. However, a dispute in 1955 allowed President Peng to suppress General Chen Geng with his official position.
In the process of the revolution, General Chen Geng was very concerned about Mr. Peng, although Mr. Peng was short-tempered and difficult to persuade, Chen Geng continued to use "banter" to relieve Mr. Peng's nervousness. At a celebration banquet, although Mr. Peng was happy with everyone on the surface, he was worried about the party and the Red Army in his heart.
In order to make Mr. Peng smile, Chen Geng deliberately poured white water into his bowl, and then poured a bowl of wine for Mr. Peng, in an attempt to amuse Mr. Peng. Chen Geng's clumsy performance made the whole room burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere was relieved.
In addition, Chen Geng was very concerned about Mr. Peng's emotional life, especially in 1938, but at that time, it was a full-scale anti-Japanese war, and Mr. Peng, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, devoted himself to the anti-Japanese war, and had no time to take care of his personal feelings. In order to attract the attention of *** to women, Chen Geng had to use the volleyball sport that he was interested in as a medium.
He carefully arranged a women's volleyball game, hoping to give *** a chance to reach out to women in this way. After the end of the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee, Chen Geng came to invite *** competition, hoping that he could attend with his face. **said that he was very busy and was not in the mood to go to ** the game, so let Chen Geng watch it instead of himself.
In order to prompt *** to go, Chen Geng blamed *** for his bureaucratic style and hinted that he would be blamed at the life meeting. With the help of ***, Chen Geng's performance angered *** and finally succeeded in inviting him to the ** competition.
After discovering that *** became interested in a tall girl with superb ball skills, Chen Geng began to act as a matchmaker, introducing this top student of Beijing Normal University named Pu Anxiu, who is currently teaching in a public school in northern Shaanxi. ** Immediately aware of Chen Geng's intentions, he denied that he had any interest in her, saying that Urayasu was a Western-educated foreign student, and he was just a countryman.
However, Chen Geng worked harder to introduce Urayasu Xiu, and finally succeeded in brokering their relationship. During the Anti-Japanese War, ** was not only tired from work, but also physically and mentally, causing him to lose weight. Despite this, he is strict with himself and is unwilling to take a good nutritional supplement.
During the inspection of Chen Geng's brigade headquarters, Chen Geng tried his best, hoping to make *** make up for it. Due to ***'s temper, arranging a hearty meal directly will not work. Therefore, Chen Geng claimed in advance that he was poor, although in fact the living conditions in Nanle City, where the brigade headquarters is located, are not bad.
He asked the soldiers to catch the local specialty osmanthus fish in the river, and *** was only willing to accept it when he heard that it didn't cost too much money. In addition, Chen Geng also asked the cook to cook chicken mixed with fish into meatballs, and finally ate them in disbelief. Mr. Peng encountered the chicken soup served by Chen Geng again, however, this time he no longer believed Chen Geng's rhetoric.
Despite Chen Geng's good intentions, Mr. Peng still criticized him harshly. Despite being blamed, Chen Geng is still happy to see Mr. Peng taste the food, although Mr. Peng doesn't seem to want to eat, but he has been leading by example and restraining his desires during special times.
The next time Mr. Peng visited, Chen Geng changed his strategy and let Mr. Peng taste light food, while he hid in another room to enjoy the food. Mr. Peng wanted to praise the light dishes, but found that Chen Geng had disappeared. At this time, the cooks arranged by Chen Geng began to hint at the location of Mr. Peng and Chen Geng.
Mr. Peng pushed open the door and saw a table of sumptuous food, and angrily thought that even if he was not allowed to eat it, he would taste it. It wasn't until halfway through eating that he realized that he had fallen for Chen Geng again. The Minister of Defense listened to me, and the revolutionary friendship between the two men remained unchanged after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
On the battlefield of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, reporters wanted to shoot the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, but Mr. Peng always avoided them. At this time, Chen Geng listened to the reporters' hardships and assured them that they could make Mr. Peng smile. Chen Geng pulled several comrades of the leaders of the Volunteer Army and decided to find Mr. Peng for a group photo.
This time, the reporters finally had the opportunity to shoot, but unfortunately Mr. Peng still had a serious expression on his face. The reporters can understand, after all, Mr. Peng's majesty is obvious to all. Chen Geng decided to tell everyone a joke, which caused Mr. Peng to laugh, and the reporters captured this scene.
When Chen Geng tells the story, the audience may find the story bland and boring, and it is difficult to understand the jokes in it, and they do not have much expectations. However, they did not understand the revolutionary friendship that General Chen Geng and Mr. Peng had accumulated over the years. The baptism of the years has made Mr. Peng Xi used to being tricked and joked by Chen Geng, the "bastard" who always amuses him.
Obviously, if Mr. Peng wants General Chen Geng to do something, he can't be persuaded by pure reason. Therefore, in many cases, Mr. Peng directly uses ** or official position to suppress Chen Geng. In 1957, Chen Geng was overworked at work and suffered a sudden myocardial infarction overnight, almost dying, but fortunately the doctor tried his best to save him.
However, after a serious illness, Chen Geng's body was extremely weak, and the hidden dangers left by his years of fighting career became more and more obvious. In this case, ** had to decide to let the general of the republic, the president of the Kazakh military industry, take a back seat to recuperate.
After receiving the appointment, Chen Geng, who has always been optimistic, inevitably felt lonely, so he rushed into Mr. Peng's office without hesitation, slammed the appointment on the table, and expressed his dissatisfaction. Chen Geng asked: "Lao Peng, why did you approve this appointment?"Is this aimed at me?When General Chen Geng fell ill, Mr. Peng naturally went to visit.
In the past, the generation of heroes who lived wittily and fought bravely is now sick in bed and looks haggard. For what happened to his old friend, Mr. Peng was also full of sentimentality and guilt, so he also gave full support to this decision. Chen Geng was still talking about "Lao Ji Fu Fang", and he was still shouting "martyr's twilight years", warning Mr. Peng and ** not to underestimate him.
However, Mr. Peng knew that he couldn't convince Chen Geng, but he firmly said that this was the best decision, and he couldn't change it, and he didn't have the right to do so. General Chen Geng had no choice but to obey, and he also understood that Mr. Peng and ** were out of kindness to him. Chen Geng also quarreled loudly with Mr. Peng because he did not understand his decision, the most typical time was when the title was conferred in 1955.
At that time, a 27-year-old soldier named Peng Qichao should have been awarded the rank of captain according to his qualifications and merits. What's more, as the nephew of ***, he was ** by the reactionaries in his early years, so when Peng Qichao applied for the rank of captain to the big leader at this award.
And Peng Qichao's place of work happens to be the Kazakh military industry, and the big leader is Chen Geng, who was the Minister of Defense at the time, happened to come to Kazakhstan to inspect the military industry, and after learning about this, he felt that the military rank given to Peng Qichao was too high. Chen Geng defended Peng Qichao's rank of captain and firmly believed that Peng Qichao had the qualification.
Mr. Peng, however, took a different view, insisting that being a captain at such a young age was too ostentatious and could have adverse effects, and therefore demanded that his rank be demoted to lieutenant. The two sides argued, and in the end, General Peng forcibly demanded that Chen Geng comply, and demoted Peng Qichao's military rank to lieutenant.
After learning that his military rank was forced down by his uncle, Peng Qichao was confused. However, Mr. Peng patiently explained the pressure and responsibilities brought about by his special status, emphasizing that as the children of cadres, they should remain humble, which is conducive to the construction of the army. After listening to Mr. Peng's explanation, Peng Qichao was convinced.
