A few days later, the matter was revealed. When the Chair saw the document, he felt strange because he had not signed it himself. He asked the secretary to find *** to ask about the ins and outs of the matter.
However, Nie Shuai did not elaborate, only admitting that he was not strict and apologized to the chairman. The great man saw through Nie Shuai's intentions at a glance and asked him if he was afraid that revealing those responsible would affect his future.
However, Nie Shuai still firmly stated that it was his responsibility and that he had not done his job well.
**'s attitude made *** cry and laugh, calling it ultra vires. Later, Zhang Jingwu learned that Nie Shuai had taken responsibility in front of the chairman and felt deeply guilty. ** also often protects the personnel of the General Staff, even in the face of Mr. Peng and ** harsh criticism, he just smiled, saying that the more and more black he painted, when the bosses were angry, things would become simpler.
In order to reduce the work burden of the general staff, Nie Shuai once instructed the General Staff that except for important military information, other affairs do not need to be sent directly to the chairman's office, but can be handled by him himself.
However, Nie Shuai was in poor health and was hospitalized for more than a month to recuperate, resulting in some documents not being processed for the time being. In 1952, at a meeting of the Military Commission, the chairman expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of reporting on the affairs of the army, asking Rong Zhen why only the army had remained "calm", hinting at criticism of Nie Shuai.
Despite the chairman's polite tone, the move was intended to remind Nie Shuai to pay attention to the report.
Nie Shuai still chose to be silent. He did not explain why he wanted to "reduce the burden" on the ** chief, nor did he talk about his physical condition. In the face of the chairman's questioning, ** lowered his head and silently did not say a word.
Later, he really got angry, he said: "Please come to the meeting, don't speak for a long time, I'm afraid that the chair will be broken!" I won't invite you to come in the future. In the end, it was General Zhang Zhen (then the head of operations of the General Staff) who explained the situation, and Mr. Zhu mediated on the side, and the turmoil was calmed down.
Despite this, ** knows Nie Shuai's ability and character well, and the past is like smoke. Among the top ten marshals, ** was born in the "double red one", and he has been the most trusted and favorite cronie cadre since the Red Army period.
Especially after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Nie Shuai was responsible for promoting the "two bombs and one satellite" project, and made great achievements for the army and the country, and the chairman spoke highly of him. In the last century.
In the sixties and seventies, many military fathers, including ***, were slandered and suppressed by people with ulterior motives, and suffered many grievances.
However, the steady and honest Nie Shuai did not pursue or embarrass anyone after the situation stabilized, and always put the country's development first.
