The marshal's seven resignations and the road to the modernization of the squadron.

In February 1951, ** broke into the eastern part of the country, the Soviet army Shakhanov refused to cover, and the marshal was furious.

In February 1951, the commander of the Volunteer Army returned to Beijing from the Korean front and reported to the first several problems that needed to be solved urgently at the front. Chief among these challenges is to solve the problem of covering the security of transport lines by the Air Force. During the talks with the advisers of the Soviet army, the refusal of General Shakhanov caused *** anger and provoked the anger of the marshal. In hindsight, **reflect and review**, believing that getting angry is not a wise way to solve the problem. However, in the follow-up meeting, the marshal again lost his temper with an overemphasis on the difficulties of the rear.

In the second half of 1951, the war situation was deadlocked, and it was recommended to postpone regular military training and emphasize culture and education first.

The Korean War entered a stalemate phase of talking and fighting, and Soviet advisers raised the issue of regular military training. ** After returning to China, he proposed to postpone regular military training and conduct more than a year of training focusing on cultural education. ** Believes that the Korean armistice negotiations are underway and the war will not immediately escalate into a world war. Due to China's economic and cultural backwardness, the PLA officers and men have a low level of education and are more illiterate, which is not conducive to mastering modern technology and tactics. This proposal was approved, and the original regular military training plan was changed, and it was decided that the whole army should first conduct education for more than a year to improve the cultural level.

In 1952, he was appointed to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission and asked for his resignation.

On July 9, 1952, ** asked to resign from the Military Commission and recommended *** to replace him. In the report, it is acknowledged that there have been a number of mistakes in the handling of the work of the CMC, particularly with regard to the training plan. In the 1962 letter, it was mentioned that after returning to Beijing for medical treatment, he was suggested to be the chief of the general staff, but he refused, and suggested that Gao or *** should be the chief of the general staff, but it was not accepted. In the end, he obeyed the decision and stayed in Beijing as vice chairman of the Military Commission, presiding over the daily work of the Military Commission.

In 1953, the victory and misunderstanding of the marshal were severely reprimanded.

On December 4, 1953, at the Politburo meeting chaired by ***, the report of *** at the ** meeting was discussed. The proposal was considered to be ideological, and was not supported. During this period, ** repeatedly proposed to resign from the leadership position in the army, but *** had a serious misunderstanding about this. In April 1959, at the Shanghai meeting, ** lost his temper with ***, accusing *** of consistently opposing him, which caused tensions.

** resignation seven times: the marshal's hidden worries and the contradiction between the modernization of the squadron.

In the seven years from 1952 to 1959, he submitted seven times to resign from leading positions in the military, including the Minister of Defense. The marshal considered himself to lack scientific and technological knowledge, advanced age, and considerable difficulty in organizing and leading the modernization of the army. However, this attitude has caused *** misunderstanding. ** was angry at *** at the meeting, and even said that *** was consistently against him. This misunderstanding may be due to the conservative attitude of *** in political and military decision-making, which is different from the philosophy of ***.

The Marshal's Choice: The Resignation of the Victor and the Continued Exploration of the Modernization of the Squadron.

In the course of the squadron's modernization, Marshal submitted his resignation seven times, reflecting his doubts about his own ability and the squadron's modernization. However, this move also caused a serious misunderstanding in ***. The marshal was burdened with the aura of victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, but he fell into tension with *** at a time of internal and external difficulties. The difficult choice of the squadron highlights the tortuous course of the modernization of the squadron and lays the foundation for its later development.

Marshal occupies an important place in the history of China, and his military career is full of brilliant achievements and twists and turns. The above describes in detail a series of decisions and choices made by the leadership of the squadron during the Korean War and later, which provides valuable historical information for us to understand the development of the Chinese affairs.

First of all, his concern and persistent pursuit of military modernization can be seen from the perseverance and anger shown in the Korean War in the situation of the Soviet army's refusal to provide air cover. Despite external difficulties and the rejection of the Soviet army, ** firmly led the Volunteer Army on the battlefield and ultimately won the victory. This shows his tenacity and wisdom as a military leader, and his strategic impact on the squadron cannot be ignored.

Secondly, as for the proposal to postpone regular military training and give priority to cultural education, his support shows his deep understanding of the construction of a modern army. This decision reflects the concern for the quality of the armed forces, and believes that it is crucial to improve the cultural level of the officers and men of the armed forces before solving military problems. This concept laid the foundation for the overall quality improvement of the squadron later.

However, **'s repeated resignations have caused serious misunderstandings, which may boil down to some disagreements about ***'s political stance and military strategy. **The maintenance of one's own leadership position is always highly sensitive, and the resignation of *** may be misinterpreted as a lack of support for Mao. It also reflected the tension within Chinese politics at the time and the importance of personal trust.

In general, the marshal left a deep mark on the history of Chinese affairs. His victory in the Korean War, his exploration of the modernization of the armed forces, and his misunderstanding with the squadron have all provided us with valuable lessons for understanding the development process of the squadron. ** In the long course of history, his role is not only an outstanding military commander, but also an important figure in the changes of the times, and his experience and thinking on military strategy are still inspiring and reference for today's military leaders and military theory researchers.
