At the beginning of 1952, the East China Military Region ushered in a new chief of staff, who was Zhang Aiping, the former commander of the Zhejiang Military Region. At this time, the ** commander still stuck to his post in the East China Military Region.
* Have a deep friendship with Zhang Aiping, and have a deep understanding of Zhang Aiping's work ability and attitude. **After Zhang Aiping served as the chief of staff of the East China Military Region, he felt that his burden was lightened a lot.
Soon after, the ** Military Commission issued a circular requiring the chiefs of staff of all military regions to concurrently serve as deputy commanders. The aim is to facilitate the centralization of command, allowing the deputy commander to take over his duties in the absence of the commander and to take care of the duties of the command department, so as to achieve smoother command.
Zhang Aiping is an iron-faced and selfless soldier, and he has a clear understanding of his duties and responsibilities. When ** told him that he would be promoted to the head of the military district, he refused the appointment because he believed that since he was the chief of staff of the military district, he should focus on his work and not accept the false name.
He made clear his attitude to **, either to make himself the deputy commander, or to continue to serve as the chief of staff, and to choose another deputy commander to come over, and he resolutely would not accept the post of deputy commander and chief of staff.
* knows Zhang Aiping's temper, but he still hopes to be able to persuade Zhang Aiping to accept this appointment, because this is the decision of the **Military Commission, and the military region must implement it.
On this day, ** called Zhang Aiping to the office again and tried to persuade her to accept a false position. However, Zhang Aiping's attitude is still resolute, saying that she resolutely does not hold this false position.
* A little angry, he said to her directly: "This is not a consultation, this is an order." However, **'s anger did not make Zhang Aiping change her mind. She stood up firmly and said categorically: "No matter who orders me, I will not be in vain." ”
After saying that, she turned around and left **'s office without hesitation.
**and** were very troubled, and they tried to persuade Zhang Aiping to serve as deputy commander at the same time, but Zhang Aiping resolutely refused. So they called Mr. Peng for help, after all, Zhang Aiping was a subordinate of Mr. Peng and respected Mr. Peng very much.
Mr. Peng tried to call Zhang Aiping, hoping that he could obey the orders of the Military Commission, but Zhang Aiping still insisted on his opinion and refused to concurrently serve in this fictitious position.
In the end, Mr. Peng could only reluctantly say to Zhang Aiping, other military regions do this, you decide for yourself.
As a result, Zhang Aiping still did not give face to Mr. Peng, and resolutely did not concurrently serve as the deputy commander. Under these circumstances, the Central Military Commission had no choice but to assign another deputy commander to the East China Military Region, and he was Xu Shiyou.
Zhang Aiping insisted on her position and did not listen to the advice of Mr. Peng, who presided over the daily work of the Military Commission, which was rare in the army. He was a straightforward, honest man who would not change once he decided on something.
In his later years, he retired from the post of deputy prime minister. In order to deal with the work of the old cadres and the transition between the old and new teams, the Central Advisory Committee was established.
After some of Zhang Aiping's veteran comrades retreated to the second line, they joined the Central Advisory Committee and continued to make suggestions and suggestions for the country. Zhang Aiping is no exception, although he was directly appointed as the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee, he has different ideas in his heart.
He believes that after he retires, he should really enjoy his retirement life and stop expressing his opinions to front-line workers, which is also not conducive to the growth of young comrades.
Therefore, when there is an event or meeting of the Central Advisory Committee, he will resolutely not participate.
In her work, Zhang Aiping has encountered such difficulties. As a deputy director, he feared that if he didn't attend the meeting, he would be considered a derelict officer. However, the reality is that he is often unable to attend meetings for various reasons, and even sometimes loses his temper.
This made it very difficult for the staff. Later, Zhang Aiping learned about the plight of the staff and took the initiative to communicate with the director of the Central Advisory Committee and other leading comrades.
He said that he has retired and is now just an ordinary person, and he should do something that ordinary people should do. He therefore strongly recommends that he not participate in any of the meetings and work of the Central Advisory Committee.
Although Zhang Aiping's opinion surprised the staff, they were all deeply moved by his honesty and integrity. They realized that Zhang Aiping's idea was not for himself, but for the better development of the Central Advisory Committee.
In the end, they adopted Zhang Aiping's suggestion and no longer forced him to participate in the meetings and work of the Central Advisory Committee. In general, Zhang Aiping is a very responsible and moral person.
His thoughts and actions proved that he was a man who genuinely cared about the country and its people. His approach not only set a good example for the Central Advisory Committee, but also provided a valuable reference for all staff.
Zhang Aiping has obtained special approval from the Central Advisory Committee because of her unique personality and temperament. His decisive style is admirable.
