In 1976, he was promoted to the first vice chairman and prime minister, and wrote down the six characters of "I can rest assured that you can do things". This event is known in Chinese political history as the "President Hua" period.
So why was "Chairman Hua" blocked by Deng Gong when he was preparing to hold a naval parade?
In 1976,After his death, he took over the leadership position and concurrently served as the chairman of the Military Commission.
One night, Su Zhenhua, the first secretary of the Party Committee of the Navy, found *** to complain that *** not only criticized him, but also asked him to review, which made him feel very dissatisfied.
At this time, *** was preparing for a visit to North Korea, and after listening to Su Zhenhua's words, he proposed that it would be better to hold a naval parade.
It just so happened that when he planned to return from North Korea, he could make a detour to Dalian and hold a military parade in Dalian.
On the one hand, this move was to enhance the prestige of "Chairman Hua" in the military, and on the other hand, it was also to defuse Su Zhenhua's embarrassing situation.
So *** and Su Zhenhua agreed on a huge review scaleIt is planned to call 120 ** and more than 80 aircraft to participate.
**Meet with Su Zhenhua and naval officers.
Such major military activities should be decided and formulated by the Central Military Commission in accordance with normal procedures, and should be submitted to the Central Military Commission and the General Staff for approval.
However, Su Zhenhua repeatedly emphasized that his subordinates wanted"Keep it a secret", did not even inform the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Xiao Jinguang.
General Xiao Jinguang.
Chief of the General Staff of the Navy Yang GuoyuHe expressed his concern about this, but Su Zhenhua was full of confidence in this, and said that he had already reported to Chairman Hua and received his consent, so there was no need to consult the General Staff of the Military Commission.
Su Zhenyu further said that this activity was only a review and did not involve the mobilization of troops, so it had nothing to do with not reporting to the Central Military Commission and the General Staff.
Why did Su Zhenhua not report to ** when he held such a big action?
The reason is that he has just been punished by **, which is that there is a little resentment in his heart, and secondly, the reason why he was punished is becauseChina's most advanced imported missile destroyer, the 160 ship, had a ** accident caused by human error in Zhanjiang and finally sank.
Destroyer 160 ships.
And as the first secretary of the party committee of the navy, he naturally cannot escape the blame.
At the beginning of 1978, there were frequent emergencies in the South China Sea, and countries such as Vietnam and the Philippines continued to invade and occupy islands in the South China Sea. In order to safeguard national sovereignty, China's South China Sea Fleet plans to dispatch a special formation, headed by the No. 160 missile destroyer, to carry out patrol missions in the South China Sea.
In 1971, a large surface ship independently developed by China, which is also one of the most advanced warships of the Chinese Navy, was named the No. 160 missile destroyer and officially launched.
However, in early March 1978, a serious ** accident occurred on the battleship, resulting in:134 servicemen were killed。Within two hours of the accident, the Project 160 destroyer finally sank***
After the accident, the Military Commission immediately dispatched an investigation team to carry out relevant investigations. After investigation, the Military Commission confirmed that the cause of the accident was caused by Lai Sanyang, the chief of water.
Before Lai Sanyang was promoted, he was engaged to a girl from his hometown in Sichuan. However, after being promoted, Lai Sanyang decided to break up with the girl. Unfortunately, due to the girl's fiery personality, she soon chose to commit suicide.
This incident caused a huge shock, and the Political Department of the Navy launched a serious trial of it. After discussion, they decided to disqualify Lai Sanyang as a cadre and demobilize him as an ordinary soldier and return home.
When Lai Sanyang learned of this decision, he begged his superiors not to send him home.
However, the army must be disciplined, and Lai Sanyang's request could not be answered. After the order was given, Lai Sanyang locked himself up in the ** library of the No. 160 destroyer for a whole day.
After all his thoughts were lost, Lai Sanyang had evil thoughts, and he found tools to deliberately destroy the facilities of the ** depot of the No. 160 destroyer. Unexpectedly, due to the strong pressure of the seawater, the depth charge at the bottom of the bay of the destroyer No. 160 was unexpectedly detonated.
Although Lai Sanyang was disqualified from being promoted, the navy did not take back the key to the armory in his hand in a timely manner, nor did it conduct the necessary examination of him, which laid a hidden danger for the accident to occur.
Whatever the real cause, the incident with the Project 160 destroyer revealed lax management in the Navy.
This incident has caused widespread attention and uproar at home and abroad. It was a serious mistake in the history of the development of our navy, and it also had an adverse impact on the international image.
After an investigation into the causes of the accident, the Military Commissariat imposed severe penalties on the Navy. The CMC issued a notice requiring the Navy Command to submit an inspection report to the CMC, while the South China Sea Fleet was required to submit an inspection report to the Navy Command.
In addition, the relevant responsible personnel of the Navy were removed from their posts, and the captain and political commissar of the Project 160 destroyer were also arrested in accordance with the law. It is also called upon within the Navy to attach great importance to this accident and to rectify it.
The ** accident of the destroyer No. 160 brought a heavy depression to the atmosphere within the Navy, and the Navy also suffered severe criticism.
Su Zhenhua, who was the first political commissar of the Navy at that time, did not fully reflect on his mistakes, but went to find *** in a low mood
This is why Su Zhenhua refused to report to **.
But,General Yang GuoyuHe raised objections on the spot, believing that the organization of the navy should notify Commander Xiao Jinguang according to the system and report to the General Staff Department.
Several other deputy commanders and deputy political commissars expressed support for Yang's proposal. Yang Guoyu considered that his duty as a soldier is to obey orders, and without orders from the Supreme Command, privately organizing the Navy to be read may cause many problems.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Guoyu went to the residence of Navy Commander Xiao Jinguang and informed him of the Navy's plan to hold a military parade.
Xiao Jinguang agreed to hold a naval parade and said that to ensure absolute safety, all new ships can participate in the parade. However, detailed research and evaluation is needed as to whether Dalian is the best option.
Then, Xiao Jinguang specially instructed Yang Guoyu:Such an important matter must be formally reported to the Military Commission. You will need to report to the Military Commission and Secretary-General Luo in person.
In this way, General Yang Guoyu got on a plane to Beijing and reported the matter to the Secretary-General.
After listening to Yang Guoyu's report, ** fell into deep thought.
**Secretary.
As the secretary general of the Military Commission, he cannot directly oppose the will of the chairman of the Military Commission to decide to conduct a military parade. After some thought, he euphemistically gave Yang Guoyu some suggestions, reminding him that the military parade presided over by Chairman *** is very important and must be treated carefully.
In the end, ** believed that it was not appropriate to hold a naval parade without the clear attitude of the Military Commission and the General Staff, and he decided to give Yang Guoyu a few days to report the situation to the Military Commission before making a decision.
Deng Gong, ** et al.
**Disagree with the Navy parade with several main considerations.
The first is the issue of security, the safety of individual ships and projects cannot be guaranteed. The second is the impact at home and abroad, which is an important consideration.
Because the location of the naval parade is in Dalian, which is relatively close to the Soviet Union, it may arouse the sensitivity of the other side.
At that time, Sino-Soviet relations were not goodThere is no need to conduct a large-scale naval parade without the other side taking the initiative to provoke, so as not to touch the sensitive points of the other side, which may lead to the occurrence of friction.
In addition, it is worth noting that Dalian is relatively close to the Japanese seas, and at that time Sino-Japanese relations had already eased, and there was interaction and exchanges between the two countries.
Taking into account the geopolitical location, naval actions must take into account the views of neighboring countries. These issues are complex in international relations and could have serious consequences if not handled properly, so careful consideration should be given to holding a large-scale naval review in Dalian.
**Determined to work for the interests of the country, after learning that *** bypassed the General Staff and the Military Commission and directly decided to conduct a naval parade, he immediately reported to *** and made it clearPosition against this naval parade.
** reported his views in detail to the Military Commission, ** and *** and other senior leaders listened to his opinions and opinions. Eventually, a decision was made to say that the handling was correct and that the naval parade was stopped.
In the subsequentEnlarged meeting of the Party Committee of the Navy** mentioned this matter again and made it clear: ".It's a bad idea, it's wrong. ** Excellent in handling this matter, I agree with him that it must be stopped
As a matter of fact, the timely halting of the military parade at sea is largely due to Yang Guoyu and other veteran revolutionaries and comrades who had the courage to raise opposing views.
Excellent holistic thinking and sensitivity to crises bought the CMC time to deal with risks, and ultimately avoided potential risks in a timely manner.
The qualities of seeking truth from facts and being open to the advice of others are still considered invaluable today. The spirit of having the courage to find problems and make suggestions is a model that our descendants should learn from.
It is precisely because of the many fine qualities of the revolutionaries of the older generation that New China has been able to develop rapidly.
We should always remember the hard work of the revolutionaries of the older generation!
