Year visits**, no one stops.
* While the marshal was practicing calligraphy at home, he heard a familiar laugh coming from the door. He put down his pen and walked outside the study, only to see *** in the living room chatting with his wife Kang Keqing.
** smiled and asked, "I broke in!" Your family is so easy to enter, you don't even have a guard. Kang Keqing explained: "The children love to be lively, so they are kicked out to watch the show. ”
**It's rare to open your mouth on weekdays, but I visited today**, but I bluntly raised a question: "Mr. Zhu, I came today to ask you to give me some suggestions." ”
*smiled and listened*** before taking him back to the bookcase. Use a brush to write three big characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing. After reading it, I couldn't help but laugh.
So, what exactly is this visit for? And what three words were written?
He hoped to personally lead the army and reactivate some revolutionary comrades to jointly manage the army better and achieve his ideal goals. However, due to the constraints of practical conditions, this wish has not been realized.
It was not until the return of *** in 1972 that the chairman was given the opportunity to realize his dream. In May 1972, ** was diagnosed with bladder cancer, and although he was in poor health, he still insisted on handling **'s affairs at work.
Picture丨***Tell *** The most important thing at the moment is to cultivate the body and mind and better serve the party and the people. Agreeing to recuperate, resulting in no one to preside over the work, and an urgent need to find a suitable candidate.
It just so happened that the people who were far away in Jiangxi expressed their willingness to share their worries and solve problems and do what they could for the party and the people. **Agree and give suggestions, which shows the importance it attaches to ***.
Although the letter was not delivered, it is enough to see the importance that *** attaches to ***.
**To help *** return, the two worked together to restore the economy and promote the convening of the 10th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and **'s outstanding work ability was elected as ** member.
In a conversation with ***, **firmly put the idea of rectifying the army. Before the Politburo meeting in December, when ** reported to ***, the two men coincided with their views on the problems of the domestic army.
Me and you, sure enough, the hero sees something in the same way! ”
Marshal *** is looking for elite talents*** pondered the issue of army building, ** once said: "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun", * deeply agrees with this.
He realized that the leaders of the military must possess exceptional talents in order to create an effective armed force. However, how to strengthen the construction of the army's leadership and select the most suitable personnel has become a major problem in the minds of the people.
He began looking for people with exceptional talent and leadership, but to finalize the candidates, he needed to consult with others further.
In one meeting, an old friend was consulted. Without hesitation, he wrote the words "three words." Hearing the news, I couldn't help but laugh.
It turned out that he also recognized ***'s ability in his heart. Together, they have experienced the revolutionary years and are well aware of the outstanding talents of ***. **Ask if the Chair has been consulted.
He smiled and told the chairman that he was considering putting him in charge of the matter and putting him in a suitable position in the army to help deal with the adjustment of the army.
He also said that this day will not be too long and is coming.
On December 12, 1973, the Politburo meeting was convened under the chairmanship of ***. At the meeting, he pointed to the problems existing in the army and put forward solutions.
He said that the only way to solve this problem is to carry out the transfer of commanders of military regions. Although the commanders were a little hesitant about this proposal, *** said that it was his thoughtful idea.
In his opinion, it has been 24 years since the founding of our country, and the commanders of various military districts have been staying in the same place, which may be a little "slippery", which has led to some problems in the army.
This is General Ye's proposal, and Enlai and I both agree with it, and it is a good way to solve the current problem. Everyone's eyes turned to *** and they were surprised to find *** standing beside him.
**Upon hearing the chairman's order, immediately stand up and salute the crowd. The Chairman agreed with his competence and decided to place the responsibility for the intermission to him. "Comrade * is a rare talent in our party who has both military and political skills, so he is needed not only to serve as a member of the Military Commission, but also as a member of the Politburo. ”
The Chairman has made comprehensive arrangements for the redeployment operation, which has been endorsed by the other commanders. In the days that followed, the chairman explained in detail the matters of the reassignment to the commanders attending the meeting, explained the reasons for the reassignment, and began the specific work of reorganizing the army.
In view of the problem of poor management within the army, in cooperation with the commanders and the army, the operation of mutual adjustment of the army was carried out to optimize the allocation of the army. The operation involved a total of eight military regions, including the redeployment of the Beijing Military Region and the Shenyang Military Region, as well as the redeployment of the Nanjing Military Region and the Guangzhou Military Region.
In addition, the commanders of the Chengdu Military Region, the Kunming Military Region, and the Xinjiang Military Region have not been transferred, because their tenure of office is relatively short, and there is no problem of "oil." This readjustment of the armed forces had an important impact on the development of our armed forces and laid the foundation for the subsequent reform of the armed forces.
After the 1984 National Day military parade, ** stretched out a finger to symbolize the reduction of a million troops. In fact, this plan has already begun in the previous foreshadowing.
In 1975, as Deputy Chairman of the Military Commission and Chief of the General Staff, it was decided to carry out a more thorough reform of the army. At the meeting of the Central Military Commission, he pointed out the problems existing in the armed forces and decided to start rectifying the armed forces in terms of their size, cadre quality, fine work style, and combat capability, thus laying the foundation for the 1985 million-dollar disarmament.
This rectification is regarded as a forerunner of the army's reform, and it has a far-reaching impact on the army's modernization and the enhancement of its combat effectiveness.
** Disarmament was proposed in 1980 to save military spending on economic construction. In the process of disarmament, there were objections, but we firmly believed in it, resolutely disarmed, and did not leave a single soldier.
By 1982, the total strength of the People's Liberation Army had been reduced to 4.23 million, and the bloated military spending had improved.
The Beijing Academy of Fine Arts created "The Army Should Be Reorganized" and decided to continue the implementation of the disarmament plan with a target of 1 million. As soon as the news came out, there was a huge repercussion at home and abroad, because this was an unprecedented scale of disarmament.
Although facing a lot of opposition, he strengthened his determination to implement it and decided to start the implementation from the Kunming Military Region and lead by example. No matter how difficult it may be, disarmament action must be carried out resolutely to the end.
Looking at the reluctant appearance of the soldiers, **'s heart also felt uncomfortable, but for the sake of the future of the country and the army, he must make this "evil" act.
** Once when implementing the million-dollar disarmament, he resolutely said: "I want to do this myself, I can't leave trouble for the people behind me, I am willing to be this evil person!" ”
At the same time, he also paid great attention to the issue of the resettlement of retrenched soldiers, stressing that this is a matter of the highest priority in the army's affairs, and it is necessary to ensure that every retrenched soldier can be properly resettled and treated as he deserves.
With the resolute promotion of the army and the cooperation of the vast number of officers and men, the million-dollar disarmament has been successful in just two years. This measure has effectively streamlined the squadron and improved its operational capacity and execution efficiency.
Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the number of troops is no longer the key factor in determining military capability, and only by streamlining and being efficient can we keep up with the pace of modernization and conform to the trend of world development.
