Ancients Cloud: It is difficult to fight the country, and it is even more difficult to defend the country. The day after the founding of New China, the Soviet Union first sent a congratulatory telegram to our country, acknowledging the status of our Party. Despite this, at the beginning of the founding of our new China, the country was at a critical moment of being in ruins and waiting to be rebuilt, and the biggest problem facing us was how to break the layers of imperialist blockade. For this reason, diplomatic work was put on an important agenda, because at the beginning of the founding of New China, China's talent was short, and it was impossible to find suitable diplomats for a while, so Premier Zhou was extremely anxious, and at this moment, the great man made up his mind, and he wanted to select people from the army and personally order generals.
Some people asked if the generals under General Su Yu's command were at a fairly high level of fighting, so wouldn't it be "to catch the ducks on the shelves" if they were to rush into diplomacy? Hey, you don't know the generals in the People's Liberation Army, some of them are not only able to fight, but also can be literate, both literary and martial.
For example, Zhao Gang in the TV series "Bright Sword" was initially the political commissar of the independent regiment, although he was a high-caliber student of Yenching University, but Li Yunlong was not rare, "another white-faced student" came, who had thought of the unique trick of "100 steps through Yang" on the battlefield, which made Li Yunlong look at him with astonishment, and later, Zhao Gang served as the chief of military political work.
So, how strong are the four main generals under General Su Yu and can make the great man personally order the general?
As we all know, Su Yu's Sanye was strong and invincible on the battlefield, which made the Nationalist army feel frightened. As the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, first of all, the first person to come to you is Ji Pengfei, deputy political commissar of the corps, whose ancestral home is Linjin, Shanxi, who participated in the riot uprising in Ningdu in 1931, and later served as the director of the military medical department of our regiment, in many battles, showed the revolutionary spirit of the soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice and forge ahead, repeatedly braved the rain of bullets and bullets on the battlefield to rescue the wounded soldiers, and later transferred to the posts of the minister of health and the deputy director of the health care bureau of the corps, and treated many wounded soldiers along the way.
After the Long March army joined northern Shaanxi, Ji Pengfei became the director of the health department of the headquarters, and during the War of Resistance, he went to the Anhui base area to engage in health work. In 1940, he began to serve as the political commissar of the military region and other important posts, helping the army gain a foothold in Jiangsu, adhering to armed struggle, actively adopting flexible and mobile tactics, and connecting northern Jiangsu, central Jiangsu, and southern Jiangsu, thus making great contributions to the victory of the War of Resistance.
During the Liberation War, Ji Pengfei served as the commander of the column and the political commissar of the corps, and the seven victories in the seven battles between The Soviet Union and China were credited to his and Su Yu's mutual cooperation. In addition, he also won the Victory in the Battle of Huaihai and was an excellent commander of our army's military and political all-round powers.
In November 1949, Ji Pengfei learned that he had been suddenly transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he initially refused, as a veteran of the battlefield for many years, he was a little worried about this kind of "lip service" work, he was the one with the biggest "opinion" among the four, and he also ran to Su Yu to intercede.
Seeing the subordinates who have been cooperating with tacit understanding for many years, Su Yu is also difficult to give up, but in front of the overall situation, Su Yu only said one word: You are a soldier, and a soldier takes obedience to orders as his duty, and there is no choice.
Ji Pengfei was suddenly enlightened and accepted the organizational arrangement. Subsequently, he served as China's vice foreign minister and minister for twenty years, became the first ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Germany, and on the line of foreign war, Ji Pengfei made remarkable achievements.
Yuan Zhongxian was the second great general, and at that time he was serving as the commander of the guards. Yuan Zhongxian was born in Changsha, Hunan Province, he was born in the class, the first batch of the Huangpu Military Academy graduates, with a diploma, after the Nanchang Uprising to study in the Soviet Union, after returning to China to Guangdong and Hunan to participate in the work.
After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Yuan Zhongxian was sent to the anti-Japanese front in Shandong in 1938, and in order to consolidate and develop the anti-Japanese base area in Shandong, he was born into death and went all the way forward.
By the time of the Liberation War, Yuan Zhongxian had served as the political commissar of the corps, closely cooperated with General Su Yu, and made meritorious achievements in the battles of Huaihai and Crossing the River, the People's Liberation Army occupied the presidential palace of old Chiang Kai-shek, Nanjing returned to the embrace of the people, and Yuan Zhongxian was appointed commander of the garrison area, because he was knowledgeable and a veteran of hundreds of battles, so he was appointed as a general and appointed ambassador to India.
During his diplomatic work, Yuan Zhongxian obeyed the organization's arrangements and dispatches, and was duty-bound for the sake of the country and the people, and was unanimously praised and praised by the premier and other leaders.
The third is founding lieutenant general Tan Xilin. Tan Xilin was a senior, fifth-term student of the Whampoa Military Academy, who followed the great man to participate in the Autumn Harvest Uprising, created the Jinggangshan base area, and completed the arduous long march, so the great man was particularly familiar with his indomitable character and admired him very much, so he ordered his general.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Tan Xilin served as the chief of staff and military minister of the headquarters, participated in a series of anti-sweep wars in Central China, and was awarded outstanding merit in the liberation of Qingdao in 1949, and was sent to the diplomatic front in 1950, serving as the ambassador of Czechoslovakia for four years, returning to China to work in the army again, and in 1955 he was awarded the founding lieutenant general and served as the deputy commander of the Beijing Military Region.
The last person to walk toward us was Han Nianlong, who was then the deputy political commissar of the Shanghai Police Command. He joined the revolution at the age of 25 and joined the party organization the following year, during which he fought for a long time on the army's political work front, and during the Liberation War, he served as the military political commissar and deputy political commissar of the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters.
Han Nianlong's highlight is not only political work, but also his class is more suitable for diplomatic work, his original name is Cai Renyuan, Guizhou Renhuairen, because of the pursuit of ideals, to Shanghai to study, mainly to attack the US economy, this point, he has an advantage over others.
In December 1949, Han Nianlong began the diplomatic field, and worked for 40 years, serving as a diplomatic ambassador to Pakistan and Sweden. In 1958, he completed his mission and returned to China. He later held the posts of Chief of Staff and Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs until 1994, when he was 84 years old, when he left his post to recuperate.
It can be seen from this that these four famous generals who were personally appointed by the great men are all senior generals of the People's Liberation Army; they have fought all their lives for the revolution, obeyed the party's orders after the founding of the country, and once again rushed to a new battlefield for the sake of the country and the people; they are not afraid of hardships and hardships, they dare to face difficulties, and their lives are brilliant and proud, so let us pay tribute to them.
