Xiao Ke said in a word, the founding lieutenant general took office
In October 1950, the Southwest Military Region decided to appoint Liu Zhong as the head of the University Affairs Department of the Army University, and asked for his immediate arrival. After receiving the order, Liu Zhong was very confused and unwilling to accept the new position.
* and *** kept trying to convince him, but without success. However, Xiao Ke's words made Liu Zhong willingly accept the new position.
Liu Zhong, a representative of the Red Army in western Fujian, participated in all the anti-"encirclement and suppression" wars in the Soviet region, was the political commissar of the Red Fifth Regiment, and served as the chief of the investigation section of the Red First Army Headquarters on the Long March, reporting directly to the Red Army.
After the Red Army entered the territory of Gansu, ** assigned him reconnaissance tasks every day and asked him to hand in his homework at 12 o'clock in the evening. Once, Liu Zhongzhong was too tired and asked the deputy section chief to go to ***, but *** was very angry and asked Liu Zhong to report in person.
**Believe in Liu Zhong and hand over the investigation task to him personally to ensure the completion of the task. During the War of Liberation, Liu Zhong fought in North China, Northwest China, Southwest China and other places, and made great achievements and was an all-round general.
In June 1950, Liu Zhong was appointed commander of the Western Sichuan Military Region and prepared to lead the 60th Army into North Korea.
As soon as Liu Zhong arrived, he began intense training, and he was eager to go to the Korean battlefield to compete with the American devils. However, after he went to a meeting of the Southwestern Military District, he received a telegram asking him to go to the Army University to take up the post of head of the school affairs department.
Seeing the order, Liu Zhong couldn't figure it out at all, if he went to the academy, it would mean that he would not have a chance to fight the Korean battlefield. He also had no experience in running a school at all. So, he went to Mr. He, the commander of the Southwest Military Region, and asked to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and did not want to go to the Army University.
Mr. He couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, so he asked him to ask Political Commissar Deng to see if he could change. Liu Zhong went to talk about his thoughts, but he resolutely said that the decision of the Military Commission to run the Army University was a big deal, and the chairman had already arrived in Nanjing, so let him hurry to his post.
Liu Zhong said that he could not be the head of the school affairs department, but still wanted to participate in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Finally, ** advised him to go to Marshal *** and Marshal *** for help to see if they could answer his request.
Xiao Ke shook hands with Tung Chee-hwa) During the Red Army, Liu Zhong was the general of the Red First Army, the political commissar of the Red First Army, and the director of the political department of the Red First Army, all of whom were Liu Zhong's superiors.
Following the advice of ** and ***, Liu Zhong decided to leave Chengdu for Beijing and personally report the situation to *** and ***. After arriving in Beijing, Liu Zhong first met Xiao Ke, the minister of military training, and after Xiao Ke learned about Liu Zhong's situation, he directly ordered him not to go to Chief Nie and Minister Luo, but to Nanjing as soon as possible to participate in the preparatory work for the establishment of the Army University, because Chairman *** is actively preparing, the first opening ceremony will be held on January 15 next year, and the Soviet advisers have arrived, and Liu Zhong should immediately go to Nanjing to take up his post.
Although ** and *** couldn't convince Liu Zhong, Xiao Ke's words made him understand immediately. Because in the Red Army that year, Xiao Ke was Liu Zhong's top boss, Xiao Ke's words were not discussions, but orders, and Liu Zhong must obey.
Liu Zhong knew that Xiao Ke did this completely out of concern and help for him, because the Military Commission had already issued an order, and if Liu Zhong went to *** and *** again, he would definitely be criticized.
