Ye ShuaiWhen I saw Mr. Zhu, no one stopped him.
In 1973, New China faced unique challenges during the turbulent period: some veteran military and political cadres were transferred to local posts due to erroneous punishments, which led to the hollowing out of the Military Commission, and the new cadres were unable to handle complex affairs, and the efficiency of administration and military management declined significantly.
In order to solve this problem, Ye Shuai took the initiative to find Mr. Zhu, one of the founders of the people's army, to seek a solution.
After Ye Shuai drove to Mr. Zhu's residence, he found that the door was empty, so he walked in directly and came to the study to find Mr. Zhu. When he opened his mouth, he asked the guard why he left his post without permission, and who would be responsible if something happened to him.
Mr. Zhu waved his hand lightly, signaling Ye Shuai to be calm and calm, explaining that there was a literary and artistic event today, and the guards were all arranged by him to watch the performance. Hearing this, Ye Shuai no longer asked, but directly said his intention.
After thinking about it for a while, Mr. Zhu proposed to find an experienced veteran comrade to preside over the overall situation. Ye Shuai also agreed to this suggestion, and then he asked Mr. Zhu if there was a suitable candidate.
Mr. Zhu recommended Deng Gong. Deng Gong was one of the main leaders of the Eighth Route Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and served in Nakano during the War of Liberation, and has rich military experience.
Moreover, he also served as the secretary of the Southwest Bureau of the Communist Party of China, and he also knew more about administrative work, so it was only fitting for him to stabilize the military and political system.
Ye Shuai sent a letter to Grandpa Mao for advice, and after careful consideration, Grandpa Mao thought that Duke Deng was capable of taking on important responsibilities, so he appointed him as a member of the ** Military Commission. After Deng Gong took office, he first took measures to stabilize the morale of the army.
At that time, the military regions were affected by turmoil, the command system was chaotic, and some commanders and fighters had an arrogant attitude, which had a very bad impact. ** The Central Military Commission tried to send political commissars to various military regions to rectify military affairs, but the heads of various military regions responded negatively and even had a confrontational mood.
This is very dangerous, and if the barrel of the gun goes out of the party command, it can lead to serious consequences. After Grandpa Mao learned of this situation, he immediately asked Deng Gong to discuss a solution.
Deng Gong did not express his suggestion directly, but swapped their teacups for place. Grandpa Mao immediately understood what Deng Gong meant, this was to transfer the commanders of various military regions to prevent them from serving in the same place for too long and forming a hill or small group.
After careful consideration, Grandpa Mao put forward a decision at the Politburo meeting: transfer the commanders of the eight military regions and let them change their environment and increase their work experience.
Ye Shuai, ** and others agreed with this, and quickly made the decision into a document and issued it to all military regions. The smooth implementation of this decision made Grandpa Mao see the potential of Deng Gong, so in 1975, Deng Gong was appointed as the vice chairman of the Military Commission and the chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, with full responsibility for military affairs.
However, soon after, Deng Gong was maliciously framed and forced to resign. However, after the efforts of Ye Shuai and *** and others in 1976, Deng Gong was able to return to his original position.
In the 80s of the 20th century, Deng Gong was respected for his outstanding leadership skills and was elected as the leader of the country. After comprehensively considering the international situation, Deng Gong concluded that there would no longer be large-scale wars in the future, and even if there were local conflicts, the key to victory would no longer be the number of soldiers, but the strategy and tactics.
Therefore, it is not so important to maintain a large army, and the army of the future should shift in the direction of elite.
After careful consideration, Deng Gong decided to carry out military reform and give priority to the abolition of auxiliary arms such as railway troops and engineering troops, so as to save military spending and devote themselves to the cause of people's livelihood. In 1984, he further proposed the "Million Disarmament" plan, which allowed retired soldiers to devote themselves to national construction, alleviate the plight of labor shortages, and expand the demographic dividend.
In terms of foreign policy, Deng Gong adhered to the tough stance of the times. While discussing the issue of Hong Kong's return to the motherland with Britain, Margaret Thatcher put forward the proposal of "exchanging sovereignty for governing power" in an attempt to take advantage of the victory in the Falklands War.
However, Deng Gong firmly stated that China is not afraid of war, and the PLA soldiers are fearless. Margaret Thatcher was shocked and finally returned Hong Kong unconditionally to China**.
Deng Gong is an important figure in China's modern history, and his appearance is like a ray of light, illuminating China's way forward. In the turbulent period, with firm conviction and resolute action, he stabilized the army, established the principle of the party commanding the gun, and avoided the further expansion of chaos.
After becoming the leader of the state, he devoted himself to rehabilitating the wronged veteran comrades, conducting in-depth research on the international situation, rectifying military affairs, and promoting the modernization of the armed forces, thus laying a solid foundation for the PLA to realize modernization and mechanization at an early date.
At the same time, he personally designed the economic structural reform plan, which broke the rigid market order, enabled China's economy to rise rapidly, and the people's living standards continued to improve and become increasingly prosperous.
Deng Gong was the leader of China's prosperity and strength, his wisdom and courage changed the course of China's history, and his figure will always be engraved in our hearts. Let us always remember this great leader!
