In order to save military expenditures, improve the overall level of the army, and build a high-quality army, In 1985 Comrade Deng Xiaoping put forward a proposal for disarmament of 1 million.
After Comrade Deng Xiaoping made a proposal, the Central Committee attached great importance to it and convened a meeting on whether to carry out disarmament.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping made a speech at the meeting, holding that in the past period, our army was constantly expanding the number of troops, but now it has entered a new period, the previous methods are not suitable for the current period, we must rectify the army, develop high-tech, high-level modern equipment, only in this way can we gain a firm foothold in the world.
