In order to realize the modernization of the army, China began to implement the rank system in 1955, and in September of the same year, in Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai, more than ten marshals, ten generals and other more than a thousand generals were born. Compared with the ranks of general, general, lieutenant general and other generals, it is more difficult to obtain a marshal, and among the more than 1,000 generals in the whole army, the number of marshals is only 10.
What kind of person is eligible to be awarded marshalship? According to the Regulations on the Service of Officers of the people's liberation army of the Chinese adopted on February 8, 1955, "senior generals who create and lead the people's armed forces or lead the campaign corps to fight and have outstanding meritorious service shall be awarded the rank of marshal of the People's Republic of China".
In terms of subdivision, if you want to be awarded a marshal, you must generally meet the following conditions: the founder of the revolutionary base area, the leading position of the regiment (or army) level during the Red Army period, the division level of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the leading position of the Front Army (field army) during the Liberation War, and the vice chairman of the National Defense Commission and a member of the Central Military Commission when the title was awarded.
From these conditions, we can see that the requirements for conferring the rank of marshal are particularly high, and those who can become marshals are basically revolutionary meritorious figures, not only with deep qualifications, but also in important positions in various periods. After passing this condition, only ten people were selected.
In general, in the past few decades of revolutionary wars, the ten marshals have been important leaders of the whole army. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the ten marshals continued to shine for the construction of the motherland according to their own capabilities, positions, etc., and played a mainstay role in various industries and fields.
After the founding of New China, which three of the ten marshals made the most outstanding contributions to the country? We can compare them from the military, political and other fields, and select three founding marshals who have made outstanding contributions to national construction and development.
Who dares to slash at the sword, only I Am General Peng?
There is no doubt that among the ten marshals, in terms of their contributions to national defense and military after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Mr. Peng should be in the first place. Peng Lao was always a revolutionary elder, the founder of the Third Red Army, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Eighth Route Army, and the commander and political commissar of the First Corps of the People's Liberation Army. After the founding of New China, Mr. Peng was ordered to lead the volunteer army in command of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
The significance of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is very great, and the victory of the volunteer army is naturally inseparable from the command of General Peng. Less than a year after the volunteer army entered the Korean War, our army has pushed the front line to the vicinity of the 38th Line, fought five large-scale battles, and achieved impressive results.
The victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea had a huge influence on the world, and no country dared to ignore China. This battle not only defeated the "United Nations Army" led by the United States, but also played the majesty of the volunteer army and was a war of national founding. U.S. officials said of the Korean War: "We fought the wrong war at the wrong time, in the wrong place, against the wrong adversary." ”
In the victory of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, General Manager Peng undoubtedly made great contributions and was a hero of the republic. Long before the invasion of Korea, the central authorities did not consider General Peng, Commander Su, and Lin at first. However, at that time, Commander Su and Lin Zong were in poor health and could not go to Korea to command the battle.
The opponent is the powerful US military, which played a great role during World War II, not only has good personnel quality, but also superb weapons, considering that the United States is so powerful, many people feel that they cannot be enemies of the US military. During this difficult period, Mr. Peng shouldered this heavy burden and supported the invasion of North Korea, which was consistent with the chairman's point of view.
With the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Mr. Peng's ability and fame began to be famous all over the world, and he was not only a marshal of the Chinese people, but also a world-class famous general, letting overseas people know that China has such a marshal who dares to challenge the US military and win victories.
After the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, General Manager Peng presided over the daily work of the Central Military Commission in China, served as minister of national defense, and did a lot of work for the regularization and modernization of the whole army. In terms of contributions to military defense alone, among the ten marshals, Mr. Peng is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.
Nie Shuai, a hero in the development of military science and technology?
If we want to become a military power, we must have nuclear weapons, and if we have nuclear weapons, we must develop military science and technology. Among the ten marshals, Nie Shuai is one of the main responsible persons of military science and technology, and has made great contributions to China's becoming a military power.
In terms of commanding operations, Nie Shuai may be slightly inferior to Marshals Peng, Xu, liu, and others; during the Liberation War, Nie Shuai suffered many defeats, especially when facing Fu Zuoyi in North China, Nie Shuai lost two consecutive battles, causing our army to lose a military stronghold like Zhangjiakou. On the construction of base areas, Nie Shuai is a good hand.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Nie Shuai created the first anti-Japanese base area behind enemy lines in the border area of the three provinces of Jin-Cha-Ji, and after a period of development and consolidation, the scale of development was very large, with more than seventy counties, and was praised by the superiors as a model base area for anti-Japanese resistance.
After the founding of New China, Nie Shuai served as acting chief of the general staff and was responsible for domestic military related work. Considering Nie Shuai's strengths, the central government asked Commander Su to take over his post. After Nie Shuai left the General Staff Headquarters, he was transferred to the National Defense Science and Technology Commission to be responsible for scientific and technological work.
Nie Shuai had a unique vision, and with the wisdom of strategists, he and many experts formulated a draft plan for up to 12 years, with a draft word count of more than 6 million. For the sake of national development, Nie Shuai proposed to his superiors that he should develop high-end weapons by himself in order to break the imperialist blackmail of nuclear weapons against our country.
The central authorities quickly approved Nie Shuai's proposal and asked him to lead the development of "two bombs and one satellite." In the 1960s, the Soviet Union withdrew all experts, and the pressure on Nie Shuai was very great, and at the most difficult time in China, the "two bombs and one satellite" work achieved very good results under the leadership of Nie Shuai.
Nie Shuai's contribution to China's ability to become a military power is very great, and the military scientific research work has developed rapidly under his auspices. In the special period, Qian Sanqiang, Deng Jiaxian, Qian Xuesen and a large number of other scientists, under the protection of Nie Shuai, were able to work in a relatively stable and comfortable environment.
Today, China is a military power, possessing nuclear weapons and not fearing the enemy's nuclear deterrence. Recalling the development of modern weapons, Nie Shuai easily remembered his name, he was a hero in the development of military science and technology in China.
In addition to Nie Shuai and General Manager Peng, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which marshal made the most outstanding contributions to the country? The answer is not unique, and everyone's opinion is different. Some people think that Liu Shuai, who runs a school in Nanjing, has cultivated many talents. Some people think that it is Ye Shuai, who is good at governing the country and has a keen eye. Others believe that he is The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Promotes China's Diplomacy. Who do you think it is? Feel free to leave a comment below.
