In June 1981, at the Sixth Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, he was elected as the chairman of the Military Commission, and then nominated four candidates for vice chairman of the Military Commission, three of whom were the founding marshals, and one person had a special identity. 
**The first vice chairman of the Military Commission nominated is Marshal ***, Ye Shuai is an old revolutionary, he has played an important role in critical stages many times, thus changing the trend of history, at the Zunyi Conference, he resolutely supported *** to come out and command the Red Army.
After the Red Army's Mao Gong Division, he saw through Zhang Guotao's conspiracy and immediately reported it to the Red Army to quickly go north, and at the critical moment he resolutely supported the founding of the People's Republic of China, and in September 1959, he was appointed as a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission.
In 1971, Ye Shuai resumed as vice chairman of the Military Commission to preside over the daily work of the Military Commission, and after his death, he assisted *** in the process of crushing the "Gang of Four".
**It is very appropriate to evaluate Ye Shuai with "Zhuge is only cautious in his life, and Lu Duan is not confused in major matters", Ye Shuai's talent and vision can stand the test of history, so it is very correct to choose Ye Shuai as his deputy and serve as the vice chairman of the Military Commission.
After the establishment of New China, he personally nominated *** as the chief of the general staff of the whole army, even if he was still recuperating from illness and unable to perform his duties, he still insisted on being the chief of the general staff, and **deeply felt the trust and care of ***.
In 1954, he was appointed vice chairman of the Military Commission, and since then he has worked in the Military Commission for a long time, and in a special decade, he has firmly fought against the "Gang of Four".
From 1978 to 1980, he served as deputy prime minister and minister of defense, as an old marshal, after presiding over the work of the Military Commission, he needed such a veteran to assist in the work.
At the beginning of the founding of New China, due to the illness of Xu Shuai, chief of the General Staff, he was unable to perform his duties, so he named the chief of the General Staff to assist him in handling the affairs of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea.
In October 1956, **decided to adjust the work of ***, ** went to Nie Shuai's home to solicit opinions, Nie Shuai bluntly said that he was interested in science and technology, and then he was arranged to be in charge of military production and equipment work.
In the special ten years, Nie Shuai was impacted, and it was not until August 1977 that he resumed his work, served as vice chairman of the Military Commission, and redevoted himself to the modernization of the army.
**The fourth vice chairman of the Military Commission nominated is Yang Shangkun, he is the most special of the four, he has no military rank, in fact, with Yang Shangkun's qualifications and military exploits, he is enough to become the founding general, but he left the army to work in the local area before the award, thus missing the big award.
After the founding of New China, Yang Shangkun worked in the Military Commission for many years, and also served as the secretary general of the Military Commission, and was very familiar with the work of the Military Commission.
Later, he took the initiative to take the lead in retiring, and the four vice chairmen also followed suit, without any nostalgia for power, the noble character of the older generation of the revolutionary army is admirable, as the saying goes: "There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure", in other words, there are four elders in the army, and the country is fortunate.
