In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he took the initiative to apply to the People's Republic of China, hoping to establish a military academy to cultivate military talents for our army.
** Resolutely resigned from the post of Chief of the General Staff and requested the preparation of a military academy. His unwavering determination moved *** to approve his request for the concrete preparation of a military school.
** Immediately put into work, first pulled up a preparatory group, and then started to work non-stop. On January 15, 1951, Nanjing Military Academy was officially established and put into operation.
** and *** are full of praise for the speed of preparation for the military school, thinking that it is really right to choose *** to prepare for this military school.
In May 1951, he made a special trip to Beijing to report to the Military Commission the problems after the establishment of the academy and to discuss with them to solve them.
While talking to someone, ** suddenly pushed the door in, making *** stand up in surprise. The two shook hands, and asked the dean with a smile what he could do in the college. Afterwards, the two sat down to talk.
In May 1951, after returning from Qingdao for recuperation, he personally talked to him and gave him an important task, that is, to negotiate with the Soviet Union on behalf of China and to win the support of the Soviet Union against the United States and aid Korea.
Before leaving Beijing, he made a special trip to visit his old friend, on the one hand, to reminisce about the past, and on the other hand, to ask him some things about the preparation of the Nanjing Military Academy, because he happened to go to the Soviet Union and hoped to make a contribution to the construction of the academy in his studies.
**After seeing ***, why did you say that you want to "ask" for work? Despite the fact that he was the Chief of the General Staff and *** was only the dean of the Military Academy, *** showed great respect to ***.
This is because the two were comrades-in-arms during the revolutionary war years, and they admired each other and established a deep revolutionary comradeship. **During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he took the initiative to let Xian, saying that he had experience in commanding and mobilizing troops, and was more suitable to serve as a division commander.
This kind of respect and trust enabled the two to support each other in their work and jointly contribute to the revolutionary cause, although there was a gap in their positions.
**After Zhang Hao's death, he took the initiative to serve as the division commander and let *** serve as the political commissar, which is enough to prove his high recognition of ***'s command ability and character.
In the battle of Xiangtangpu during the anti-Japanese period, ** deliberately let *** be in charge, which fully demonstrated his trust and reuse. **I also deeply admire ***'s command ability and character, after all, my revolutionary qualifications are relatively low.
With such mutual respect and trust, the two have established a deep friendship.
**During the War of Liberation, he praised the two generals of our army, one was Su Yu, and the other was ***Although *** was unable to show his strength on the battlefield due to illness at that time, *** still praised his combat talent.
Since then, no matter what they have been through, they have always maintained a close comrade-in-arms relationship. After his death, he was deeply saddened, attended his memorial service with illness, and made a special trip to visit his family, saying that he should be approached for any difficulties to express his respect for Liu Shuai.
Xu Shuai was in his later years, and four years later, Marshal ** passed away, and his glorious life came to an end. The two old handsomes can reunite under Jiuquan again.
