After the amnesty, Wang Yaowu longed to meet Su Yu, why did he think that Su Yu would not see him?

A military fan who has studied Su Yu in depth once asked Shuai Ke what he wanted to see most after Wang Yaowu was granted amnesty, and what topics they talked about during the meeting.

Shuai Ke had seen similar articles on the Internet before, so he decided to search the Internet and found that there were indeed many ** and articles on this topic, and some even described it vividly, describing in detail every word said during the meeting.

However, Shuai Ke believes that this issue may only be a rumor, which cannot withstand in-depth thinking and **.

It was rumored that Su Yu was the one Wang Yaowu wanted to see most after the amnesty, and the two even had a good conversation. But in fact, considering that Su Yu and Wang Yaowu are both famous historical figures, this statement does not correspond to the facts.

First of all, Su Yu, who has "stepped aside", is not in the mood to see Wang Yaowu. He had been wrongly criticized the previous year, had been labeled a number of hats, and had been dismissed from his post and sent to the Academy of Military Sciences as vice president.

A ** leader also explicitly asked him to "stop contacting the troops". Under these circumstances, it is difficult to imagine that he would want to meet a Kuomintang war criminal who had just been pardoned.

Secondly, Wang Yaowu may not be so eager to see Su Yu. In the Kuomintang circle, Wang Yaowu is a person who is very good at things. He and Su Yu did not have much intersection, in the Battle of Tanjiaqiao, Su Yu was only the chief of staff, not even a member of the five-member Military and Political Committee.

Therefore, this rumor is not accurate.

During the Battle of Laiwu, Wang Yaowu did not personally participate in the battle, but commanded in Jinan. However, at that time the Kuomintang generally believed that the troops in East China were commanded by **, and this view was confirmed in later memoirs.

Wang Yaowu and ** do have some intersections, such as in the 1946 Kuomintang-Communist peace talks, the two rode together in a sleeping car, and also discussed some controversial issues.

After Wang Yaowu was captured, he tried to see **, but at that time he may have mistakenly thought that ** was still in the East China Field Army, but in fact ** was already in the Central Plains Field Army.

After Wang Yaowu and others were pardoned, ** accompanied *** to meet them. ** used to be the director of the Political Department of the Whampoa Military Academy, so it is reasonable to accompany *** to meet Wang Yaowu.

However, there is an opinion that Wang Yaowu was the first person who wanted to see Su Yu, and the two really met. However, this view is questionable in terms of timing, historical data, and logic.

First of all, after Wang Yaowu was pardoned, he probably did not have the opportunity to meet Su Yu, because Su Yu had already been wrongly criticized in 1958, and his official activities and contacts with the army were restricted.

Secondly, if Su Yu really met with Wang Yaowu, then this matter should be recorded in the "Su Yu Annals", but we have not found such a record.

Therefore, the first person Wang Yaowu wanted to see after being pardoned was Su Yu, and the two really met, this statement may be misinformation, and we need to further verify.

* He Su Yu is two military strategists and politicians who have made great contributions to China's revolution and construction. The importance of these contributions can be attested by their biographies and chronologies, including the ** Biography and the Su Yu Annals.
