At the beginning of 1952, General Zhang Aiping was transferred to the chief of staff of the East China Military Region, and the commander of the East China Military Region at this time was **.
* has a deep relationship with Zhang Aiping between the leader and the led, ** knows Zhang Aiping's ability and attitude well. After Zhang Aiping served as the chief of staff of the East China Military Region, the work pressure of ** was relieved.
Soon after, the ** Military Commission issued a decision requiring the chiefs of staff of each military district to concurrently serve as deputy commanders. This means that each military region must have a deputy commander who is also the chief of staff.
The main reason for this decision of the Military Commission was to facilitate centralized command. When the commander is not available, the deputy commander can take care of his duties and at the same time take care of the duties of the most important command department, so that the command is smoother.
It stands to reason that Zhang Aiping was happily given the notice of being promoted to head of the military region, and everyone would think like this. However, when ** told him the news, he unexpectedly refused.
Zhang Aiping's reasons are sufficient, he believes that as the chief of staff of the military region, he should concentrate on full-time work, and this false name is actually unnecessary. He proposed to ** that either he should be the deputy commander, or he should continue to be the chief of staff, and let the military region choose another deputy commander.
Zhang Aiping is a stubborn person, and once he decides something, it is difficult to change it. **Know, this is an order of the Military Commissariat that the military district must carry out. Therefore, he talked to Zhang Aiping many times, hoping that he would accept the appointment.
* Conflict with her lover Zhang Aiping due to her false position, ** resolutely asked Zhang Aiping to take up her post, but Zhang Aiping was resolute and refused to take up her post, ** was angry and directly ordered Zhang Aiping, but Zhang Aiping was unmoved, her attitude was resolute, she got up and turned her head and walked out of the office.
**and** felt very helpless because Zhang Aiping was unwilling to serve as the deputy commander, so he had to ask Mr. Peng for help. Mr. Peng called Zhang Aiping, hoping that he would accept the orders of the Military Commission.
However, Zhang Aiping insisted on her opinion and was only willing to serve as chief of staff or deputy commander, which made Mr. Peng have nothing to do. In the end, Zhang Aiping did not give face to Mr. Peng and did not serve as the deputy commander.
As a result, the Central Military Commission had no choice but to assign a new deputy commander to the East China Military Region, and he was Xu Shiyou.
Zhang Aiping is a maverick, he insists on himself, does not easily change his mind, even the persuasion of ** and Mr. Peng, who presides over the daily work of the Military Commission, cannot shake his determination.
His upright and frank character makes him stand out among the generals of our army. In his later years, he left the post of vice premier, and in order to solve the problem of the work of old cadres, and at the same time consider the transition between the old and new teams, the Central Advisory Committee was established.
Although Comrade Zhang Aiping has retreated to the second line, he still makes suggestions and suggestions for the country in his capacity as deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee. Although ** directly appointed him as the deputy director of the Central Advisory Committee, he had reservations about it, and he believed that he had retired and should enjoy his retirement life and no longer interfere in front-line work.
Therefore, when he was asked to participate in the activities or meetings of the Central Advisory Committee, he firmly refused.
Zhang Aiping is aware of the difficulties of the staff, so he strongly recommends that he not attend any meetings and work of the Central Advisory Committee. He specially communicated his thoughts with the director of the Central Advisory Committee and other leading comrades, and he said that he had retired, and that he was just an ordinary person, and he should do the affairs of the common people, and no longer think about or ask about other things.
Zhang Aiping's personality and temper made the Central Advisory Committee specially approve this matter. He is admirable for his resoluteness and determination.
