Su Zhenhua opposed Deng Gong's comebackHe died of illness
Deng Gong has experienced "three ups and three downs" in his life, and every silence is a severe test for him, and at the same time, it is also tempering his mind. His last rise was after the destruction of the Gang of Four, and he quickly made a comeback and assumed important positions, gradually becoming the core of the second-generation leadership collective.
However, the process was not all smooth sailing, and although the "Gang of Four" was crushed, he did not immediately rise to the top and faced a lot of resistance. Some insisted that things should continue as they were, and that Deng Gong should spend his old age at home.
However, the tide of history does not stand still because of the opposition of a few.
Gang of Four"The news of the crushing was officially announced on October 10, 1976, and the whole country was jubilant. As been"Gang of Four"Deng Gong, who was suppressed, got the good news and wrote a letter to **"I was overjoyed with this great victory"。
However, the next arrangement for Deng Gong's comeback has become a matter that needs to be carefully considered. Ye Shuai, ** and other old comrades all support Deng Gong's comeback, but some people oppose it.
In a private conversation at the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, ** told Deng Gong that we must learn a lesson, otherwise we will continue to make mistakes. Deng Gong is not young, and he should follow the instructions of *** with peace of mind.
However, Deng Gong has the opposite idea of ***. Deng Gong believes that it is just a mechanical copy, and does not understand the core spirit of seeking truth from facts and taking the mass line.
As a result, there was a big disagreement between the two.
In 1980, ** expressed confusion about some of Deng Gong's innovative initiatives, and he asked: "Is this still following the revolutionary line of the old man?" Wang Dongxing's attitude was similar, he once publicly said: "Now someone is suggesting that Deng should come out and say how he is competent."
But I still know him as a person, and he does have abilities, but there are more mistakes. ** In 75, I wanted him to be the prime minister, but after trying to find that he was not suitable for this position, there was still a gap between his ability and Comrade Hua.
Therefore, in the end, Comrade Hua was chosen as the first person. In addition, Su Zhenhua, the founding general in the army, also did not want Deng Gong to come back.
Although their early intersection was not deep, Su Zhenhua, as a famous general in the "Liu Deng Army" during the Liberation War, cooperated with Yang Yong to participate in major battles such as the advance into Dabie Mountain, the Huaihai Campaign, and the Battle of Crossing the River, showing a dazzling demeanor.
In the later period of the Liberation War, Su Zhenhua was promoted to political commissar of the Fifth Corps of the Second Field Army, and had many opportunities for direct contact with Deng Gong (political commissar of the Second Field Army). In 1973, as soon as Deng Gong returned to Beijing from Jiangxi, Su Zhenhua and You Taizhong and others went to visit.
Although Deng Gong was in an embarrassing situation at the time, he was deeply moved by the visit of his former subordinates. At that time, Su Zhenhua himself had just returned to work, and the situation was not stable, so this move required a lot of courage.
You Taizhong, who went with Su Zhenhua to visit Duke Deng, later held a very high position. However, some experiences between them led to disagreements.
Su Zhenhua, a returning naval veteran, proved his strength with practical actions. The self-defense counterattack in the Paracel Islands under his command made people see his bravery and wisdom.
In 1976, the "Gang of Four" was arrested, and Su Zhenhua was appointed as the first secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and the director of the Shanghai Revolutionary Committee. He faced a huge challenge, because the main force of the "Gang of Four" was in Shanghai, and the situation in Shanghai was also very volatile.
However, Su Zhenhua lived up to expectations, and it took only two months to successfully control the remnants of the "Gang of Four" and stabilize the situation in Shanghai. At this critical moment, the party's decision was to let Deng Gong go out to work, which is undoubtedly the importance and trust of Deng Gong.
Su Zhenhua's performance gave people a deeper understanding of his ability and responsibility.
Although some opposed Deng's comeback, supportive voices prevailed, leading to Deng's swift return to work. Deng Gong adjusted the post appointment, let the veteran cadre *** serve as the secretary general of the Military Commission, and Su Zhenhua became a member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission.
However, Su Zhenhua was at odds with the decision. As time went on, the two sides became increasingly divided between the "standard of truth" and the "two whatevers."
Su Zhenhua insisted that we should follow Chairman Hua's instructions, saying: "Our attitude towards Chairman Hua should follow his steps as we treat him." ”
** supported Deng Gong, which led to some work troubles. In 1978, a ship was in Zhanjiang, which caused a bad impact. Both Deng Gong and *** criticized Su Zhenhua and carried out a series of reforms to the navy.
In order to boost morale, Su Zhenhua decided to hold a large-scale naval parade in Dalian for President Hua, who had just returned from a visit to North Korea, to review and display the results of naval reform.
After discussions with the navy's insiders, Su Zhenhua decided to mobilize a huge lineup of 120 ships and 80 aircraft from the North China Sea and East China Sea fleets to demonstrate the strength of the navy.
Commander Xiao Jinguang believes that the navy currently lacks confidence, both internally and externally, so it is very beneficial to organize a military parade to boost morale and show strength.
However, the location of the parade needed to be in Lushun, where there was a military port that had already been built, and this decision needed to be approved by the Military Commission. At first, Su Zhenhua did not think it was necessary, he thought that he had already obtained Chairman Hua's approval, and that it was just a simple exercise that did not need to be approved by the Military Commission.
However, under the repeated persuasion of the Chief of Staff of the Navy, Yang Guoyu, Su Zhenhua finally agreed to report the matter.
** Expressed opposition to the Navy's sudden desire to conduct large-scale military exercises. He believes that the military parade needs to be carefully deliberated and should not be acted on its own. In addition, Dalian and Arthur were closer to the USSR and Japan, and large-scale military exercises could provoke reactions and undesirable consequences from neighboring countries.
Although Deng Gong also thought that this plan was not appropriate after thinking about it, he still decided to stop the big move of the navy. Later, Su Zhenhua was criticized at an enlarged meeting of the Military Commission for acting without authorization, and died of a heart attack on February 7 of the same year.
Despite this, Deng Gong still remembered the old feelings, personally delivered a eulogy, and Tiananmen Square also lowered the flag at half-mast to mourn.
