In 1965, he was angry: Who gave you the power?
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was an urgent need to establish diplomatic relations. Although many nationals joined the construction of New China through uprisings and defections, their political attitudes and work styles were simply unable to complete the diplomatic tasks of New China.
It was once said: "An army without culture is a stupid army, and a stupid army cannot defeat the enemy." Therefore, in the process of administering the army, he paid great attention to improving the cultural quality of the army.
The reason why the Chinese People's Liberation Army is invincible is that it is an army with a high level of cultural quality.
On February 8, 1949, ** clearly put forward the idea of "turning the army into a task force", pointing out that the national revolution was about to be victorious, and the establishment of the new Chinese regime required the army to learn to take over and manage the city, and the army cadres needed to know how to handle foreign affairs.
With the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the company set its sights on the group of generals to select ambassadors to foreign countries. He believed that the generals were battle-hardened, courageous, fearless, prudent and thoughtful in considering problems, and most importantly they were politically loyal and reliable, resolute in carrying out policies, and obeying the leadership.
At that time, there were many generals, such as Su Yu, deputy commander of the Sanye Corps, Xu Guangda, commander of the First Field Corps, Zhou Shidi, commander of the 18th Corps of the North China Field Army, Xiao Ke, chief of staff of the Fourth Field Army, Liu Zhen, deputy commander of the 14th Corps of the Fourth Field Corps, Wei Guoqing, commander of the Second Field and Third Corps, Liu Zhijian, deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Second Field and Fourth Corps, Yan Hongyan, deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Second Field and Third Corps, and Gao Kelin, political commissar of the 23rd Corps of the **Military Commission, etc., all of whom were initially detained** Candidates for diplomatic ambassadors, yet they have difficulty leaving their current jobs.
In the end, the first batch of people selected as ambassadors abroad included Wang Jiaxiang, then director of the Urban Industry Department of the Northeast Bureau, Huang Zhen, then director of the First Research Office of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, Peng Mingzhi, then deputy commander of the 13th Corps of the 4th Field, Tan Xilin, then deputy commander of the 7th Corps of the 3rd field, Wang Youping, then acting director of the Political Department of the 5th Corps of the 2nd field, Cao Xiangren, then deputy chief of staff of the 4th Corps, Ji Pengfei, then political commissar of the 9th Corps of the 3rd field, Ni Zhiliang, then commander of the West Manchurian Military Region, Luo Guibo, then commander of the Taiyuan Garrison District, At that time, he was the deputy commander of the 19th Corps, Yuan Zhongxian, who was the political commissar of the 8th Corps, Han Nianlong, who was the political commissar of the 33rd Army, and so on.
The TV series "Diplomacy" vividly shows a group of generals taking off their military uniforms, putting on suits, gathering in Beijing, devoting themselves to the first-class training class, and learning international law, diplomatic documents and diplomatic etiquette.
The importance of these diplomatic courses cannot be underestimated. In yesterday's release of "Su Yu's "gaffe" in Moscow was criticized by the chief of staff of the Soviet UnionNetizen: In the article "Mr. Su is loyal to the country", Lao Qin described in detail how Su Yu violated foreign affairs discipline during his visit to the Soviet Union as a member of the military delegation in 1957.
Looking back on history, he was one of the founders and main leaders of New China's diplomacy, and he was honored as the first governor of New China. However, as the premier, vice chairman of the Communist Party of China, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, he is busy with work.
Therefore, in the summer of 1952, **the training was considered** as the next *** chief. At that time, it was mentioned that the plan to reduce the number of major administrative regions and transfer some leading cadres to work in the first place.
*Sent a letter*** indicating that he would prefer to "stay in Nanjing to engage in military work", but at the same time, he also said that "I am also willing to work in Beijing". * made it clear that he was going to work before the end of June 1954. **Later, he went to Beijing for a meeting, and invited him at his residence in Yuquan Mountain, saying: "I hope to come to work with Zhenlin this winter." ”
So, on September 27, 1952, he was appointed as the deputy prime minister. In the evening of the same day, the Vice Chancellor, who was also the head of the Organization Department, told him that he was going to visit East Germany and warned: "This is the arrangement of the chairman, and the chairman's opinion is that your work will be turned to diplomacy from now on." ”
* Feeling genuinely afraid, he used a phrase in his diary about his involvement in the diplomatic field: "short and deep".
When accompanying the fireworks show of the Tiananmen Gate Tower, he said to *** earnestly: "I am a straightforward person, and I am afraid that I will mess up if I engage in diplomacy." ”
** smiled and stroked his palm, and said, "I just like you to speak boldly and straightforwardly." ”
Later, he also said to **: "You speak better than me, you have great momentum, and it is very suitable for the national prestige of a big country like ours." ”
Lao Qin wrote in June last year's "** When I work in the New Fourth Army, why do I oppose awarding the rank of marshal?".The article describes in detail how *** wholeheartedly helped ** to fight for the rank of marshal when our army first awarded the rank in 1955. That is, *** is truly appreciated.
As the right-hand man of ***, he is mainly responsible for *** work, and at the same time actively participates in foreign affairs, and has accumulated rich experience around ***.
On February 11, 1958, he officially became the first captain.
* One of the most high-profile diplomatic incidents after taking office occurred on October 2, 1959, when he flew to Beijing to attend the 10th anniversary celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China after a visit to the United States.
After the celebrations, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev went so far as to accuse our country of shelling Kinmen as an "unjust act."
* In anger, he made a sharp and powerful rebuttal to this as the chief of ***.
Khrushchev was hesitant in the debate, and finally lost to the debating skills of the first class, and said embarrassedly: "Okay, good, you are a marshal, I am a lieutenant general, and I listen to you militarily, but in the party I am the first secretary, and you are only a member of the Politburo, so you have to listen to me politically." ”
* humorously responded: "First secretary of the party, we are two parties talking about problems." ”
Khrushchev was speechless and could only leave in disgrace.
In addition, little is known about the diplomatic incident of **, that is, on September 29, 1965, on the eve of the celebration of the 16th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he held a large-scale Chinese and foreign press conference on the Vietnam War, Asian security and nuclear weapons issues.
In response to reporters' questions, he made some eye-catching remarks, such as "Lao Tzu and others have turned gray when they are fighting."
The reception came to be called "the toughest press conference in the history of Chinese diplomacy."
What is less well known, however, is that in June of the same year, ** ran into some trouble in diplomatic work.
He traveled to Algeria a week early for the Asian-African Conference, and when he later flew to Cairo, there was a military coup in Algeria and Ben Béla was arrested.
As a result, the Asian-African Conference could not be held as scheduled, but ** said: "This Asian-African Conference must be held. And it must be driven well!”
This decision infuriated ***, and he blamed** for "messing around".
In the end, the Asian-African Conference failed to take place, and ** returned to Beijing directly from Cairo, ** also returned to China.
He was well aware that the remarks made in Algiers could have a negative impact on his international reputation, so he did not hesitate to put everything down and hurried to the West Flower Hall in Zhongnanhai to meet *** and apologize to him.
** showed a rare sternness during the meeting, and was blunt: "As the first minister of China, you represent the image of the entire country, how can you make remarks without authorization, and make a lot of nonsense without asking for advice?."What rights do you have?”
* Promise humbly, sweat like pulp.
This experience made him more mature, and in the international diplomatic arena in the future, every time he said it was carefully considered, every word was exquisite, and he expressed it sonorously and powerfully, as if it were a thunderbolt.
