RankedWhy not the Ten Marshals
You may be curious as to why *** failed to get the rank of marshal in the end. On September 28, 1954, the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China established the Central Committee, with a total of 12 members of the Military Commission, including the chairman, including the first member
** presides over the daily work of the Military Commission, while *** is the head of the General Cadre Department, and Song Renqiang is the deputy director of the General Cadre Department, and they are jointly responsible for drafting the list of founding generals.
The final selection of this list will be discussed and made by the five secretaries of the National People's Congress, and then submitted by the Prime Minister to the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for approval.
On September 3, 1955, ** and Song Renqiang and others submitted an official report to the *** Prime Minister *** and the Chairman of the National People's Congress.
The report mentions that ** refused to accept the rank of generalissimo, but he agreed to confer the rank of marshal of the People's Republic of China on 11 people, all of whom were members of the Military Commission at the time, and their rankings were consistent with the list of members of the Military Commission, which were **, and ***
Of these, ** ranks seventh, after **, before. Although *** suggested when resigning from the post of generalissimo that the generals who had left the army to work in the ** department would not participate in the evaluation, so senior generals such as *** and *** also resigned from the rank of marshal and general.
But why, although ** and ** have already served as deputy prime ministers, cannot resign from the rank of marshal? And *** was not awarded the title in the end?
Title: The Founding Fathers *** Outstanding military merits, well-deserved marshal rank Text: ** Mr. ** undoubtedly has the qualifications for the rank of founding marshal among the founding fathers.
At that time, he served as a member of the ** Military Commission of the Communist Party of China and vice chairman of the National Defense Commission of the People's Republic of China, which was his important position in the army. In addition, Mr. ** was also one of the important founders of our army, he led the Baise Uprising, in which he served as the political commissar and former secretary of the Red Seventh Army.
During his time in the Red Army, he served as Secretary General of the General Political Department of the Red Army, and his outstanding leadership and command skills in the war were commendable. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Mr. ** served as the deputy director of the Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, the political commissar of the 129th Division and the political commissar of the Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region, and he played a key role in the anti-Japanese battlefield.
During the liberation period, he served as the political commissar of the Central Plains Military Region, the secretary of the General Front Committee of the Huaihai Campaign, the political commissar of the Second Field Army, and the political commissar of the Southwest Military Region.
In general, Mr. **'s military merits are remarkable, his position and military merits are qualified for the rank of marshal, and his rank of marshal is well deserved. He was an important figure among the Founding Fathers, and his contributions and influence will always be remembered.
Why was he able to voluntarily give up the rank of marshal, but the founding fathers such as *** never got his wish? ** The failure to be included in the list of founding marshals is mainly due to two factors.
First of all, ** took the initiative to resign, believing that his position as marshal would have a negative impact on **'s work. According to the records of the secretary of the Communist Party of China at that time, the focus of his position was the secretary general, and too many marshal titles would distract him.
Therefore, he resolutely resigned from the rank of marshal. In the end, the five secretaries respected the decision and did not award him the rank of marshal.
**In terms of mountain representation, it is slightly less than **and**, but when awarding titles for the first time, in addition to considering factors such as seniority, military merit and position, the importance of balancing each mountain cannot be ignored.
During the period of the Red Army, the Red First Army, the Red Second Front Army, and the Red Fourth Front Army, the 115th, 120th, and 129th Divisions and the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the five major field armies during the War of Liberation, and the army's political work, military chiefs, chief of staff, and other major hills all needed to be represented by marshals.
* As the commander-in-chief of the Nanchang Uprising, the banner of the Red Second Front Army and the commander of the 120th Division, he was a representative of the three major mountains, and the position of marshal was irreplaceable, so he could not resign the title of marshal.
Similarly, ** was one of the main leaders of the three major uprisings.
1. The commander of the New Fourth Army and the commander of the Third Field Army, he also has the representation of several major mountains, so he cannot resign from the title of marshal.
In contrast, during the Red Army period, the importance of the Baise Uprising was slightly inferior to that of the "Three Major Uprisings", and there was already a general representative Zhang Yunyi, and the representatives of the 129th Division and the Second Field also had *** political work marshal representatives and ***, so there was no "representative of the mountain" that could not be resigned.
In the end, his absence from the list of marshals had little effect on the overall situation.
** Deserved his name in the list of marshals to be conferred, but in the end he did not become one of the top ten marshals of the founding of the country. This is because, on the one hand, he resolutely refuses, and on the other hand, there is no representation that must be granted.
