Chairman Mao politely refused the rank of generalissimo, and Chen Yi granted Zhou Enlai the support

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-20

In 1955, there were ups and downs in the selection of the ten marshals of our army.

The award of the title in 1955 was a major event in the history of our army. In the selection of candidates for the ten marshals, ** was extremely cautious, and there was no dispute about the election of **, and others. However, on the question of whether ** should be awarded to the marshal, a discussion was raised.

As a result of the discussion of the National People's Congress, it was originally decided to award *** the rank of generalissimo. However, ** waved his hand and politely refused, thinking that it was inconvenient to get close to the masses by wearing a military uniform. At the same time, he made a proposal that comrades in local work no longer participate in the awarding of titles.

For the suggestion, Teng Daiyuan, who had held important positions in the army, agreed with it. The party organization then issued a notice making it clear that those who worked in the local area would no longer participate in the awarding of titles. The announcement also raised questions about whether ** should be awarded the rank of marshal.

In 1954, he served as Deputy Prime Minister and Deputy Chairman of the Military Commission, and although he still held positions in the army, the focus of his work had clearly shifted to the localities. It was proposed that since ** was not suitable to participate in the award, one more representative figure should be selected from the Southern Guerrillas, the New Fourth Army, and the Sanye Army to be awarded the rank of marshal.

However, as events unfolded, ** was eventually awarded the rank of marshal with the support of one person. What exactly happened, and who is behind it?

To select a marshal, we must first see whether we are qualified. According to the "Regulations on the Service of Officers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army," in order to be rated as a marshal, one must first be a senior general who has created and led the people's armed forces or led the battle corps in combat and has made outstanding meritorious achievements.

Specifically, the conditions include the founder of the revolutionary base area, the corps-level leadership position during the Red Army period, the division level of the Eighth Route Army, the military level of the New Fourth Army, and the leadership position of the first-level military region of a fairly large base area during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, as well as the position of vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and member of the ** Military Commission at the time of the award.

According to the above conditions, only four people in our army meet all the conditions, namely, **, and thirteen people who meet the three conditions, including ***

Of the thirteen, **left the army early, and so did **. **Although he has a certain position in the army, he is mainly responsible for party affairs and local affairs, so he does not participate in the conferral of titles.

* If the focus of work is in the army at this time, you can be rated as a marshal. However, since the focus of his work is already local, some doubts have been raised. If ** is not rated as a marshal, it is proposed to select a representative figure again from the Southern Guerrillas, the New Fourth Army, and the Sanye Army.

However, in the end, with the unwavering support of ***, ** was still awarded the rank of marshal.

The reason why **so supportive** is mainly due to a deep understanding of **. The two met as early as when they were studying in France, and after the Nanchang Uprising, they were **promoted** to be the leader of the regiment, making their positions surpass most of the founding generals.

In the construction of the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area, he has also made outstanding achievements. He had replaced *** as the former party secretary, although it later proved wrong. In 1931, when the Provisional Chinese Soviet was founded, it was the commander-in-chief of the Jiangxi Provincial Military Region and the commander-in-chief of the Western Army.

In addition, during the agrarian revolution, ** led the guerrilla war in the south for three years. In October 1934, due to the defeat of the fifth "anti-encirclement and suppression" battle, the Red Army was forced to go on a long march and stayed. Although he did not participate in the Long March, he stayed behind to engage in guerrilla warfare with the enemy and experienced great dangers. ** once wrote words to express this experience, that is, "Gannan Guerrilla Words".

The words describe the hardships of persisting in guerrilla warfare. This history is *** understood. When he was elected as a marshal, he mentioned this incident and spoke highly of it: Comrade represents a history that can be sung and cried, and this history is impossible for anyone to erase!”

There is another reason for insisting on awarding the rank of marshal, that is, having served as the commander of the New Fourth Army. During the Anti-Japanese War, the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army were armed forces under the leadership of our party, and they were of equal rank. In 1955, in addition to military exploits and qualifications, the issue of "mountain" was also considered.

*Awarded to Marshal by *** support because he could represent the Southern Guerrillas and the New Fourth Army. Ye Ting, who originally represented the New Fourth Army, unfortunately passed away, and ** became the most suitable representative. If the rank of ** marshal is not awarded, it is unjustifiable in any case, which is the main reason for *** insisting on awarding ** marshal.

At the time, it wasn't that other candidates weren't being considered. As the best general of our army, Su Yu can theoretically represent the southern guerrillas and the New Fourth Army. However, despite Su's outstanding abilities, his qualifications are relatively low. In the end, ** was elected marshal, which was also the result of "popular expectations".

In general, the 1955 event left a deep mark on the history of our army. **'s refusal and **'s final award of the rank of marshal have the firm support of *** behind them. This period of history has witnessed the emergence of a series of great leaders, and it has also demonstrated the unity and noble principles of our army.

This article delves into the inside story of the 1955 awarding of titles to our army, especially highlighting the process of refusing the rank of generalissimo and finally awarding the marshal, the political considerations behind it and the firm support of the army. The article vividly showed the complicated situation within the party at that time with detailed facts and detailed descriptions, and highlighted the deep relationship between the leaders.

First of all, the article expresses the plot of *** refusing the rank of generalissimo very delicately. ** The rejection of this honor out of consideration for his proximity to the masses shows his usual approachability and deep concern for the people. This detailed description makes the article more emotional, and the reader can better feel the original intention of the leadership at that time to serve the country and the people.

Secondly, the article vividly restores the story behind the award of the marshal through the perspective of ***. Knowledge and deep friendships played a key role in this process. He had a deep understanding of the contribution of the Nanchang Uprising and the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base Area, and finally contributed to the award of the title of Marshal. It also demonstrated the political atmosphere of unity within the party at the time, as well as the high value attached to individual abilities and historical contributions.

The article also emphasizes his qualifications and exploits as a marshal through his arduous journey in guerrilla warfare in the south and his role in the New Fourth Army. These detailed descriptions not only let readers know more about the outstanding contributions of **, but also make ***'s support more specific and powerful.

Finally, through the consideration of Su Yu, the article has a clear demonstration of the rigorous attitude of comprehensively considering the merits, qualifications and "mountain" issues in the selection of marshals. Although Su Yu had outstanding military achievements, he was ultimately unable to be elected marshal due to his low qualifications. This shows the high standards of the leadership of our army for the post of marshal and the strict requirements for the qualifications of senior officers.

Overall, this article profoundly restores the inside story of the selection of our army marshal in 1955 through detailed historical details, highlighting the political wisdom among leaders and the emotions of dedication to the country. Through the analysis of the complex political considerations behind the selection of marshals, readers have a deeper understanding of the historical events at that time, and also have a clearer understanding of the wisdom, mind and original intention of our military leadership to think about the interests of the people.
