The intersection of history is always memorable. On August 19, 1977, the meeting between Marshal Ye Jianying and General Hong Xuezhi was not only an emotional exchange between the two generals, but also a vivid epitome of a key moment in China's military history.
Marshal Ye personally went to the capital airport to greet General Hong in a jeep, this scene seemed to be a reunion of comrades-in-arms, but the deep meaning contained in it was far more than that. This is not only a military strategic docking, but also a deep tribute to the past years.
The car drove to the Jingxi Hotel, and the two generals showed their deep comradeship-in-arms during the conversation. Marshal Ye asked General Hong about his experience over the years, which reflected an elder's concern for his comrades-in-arms. General Hong responded with candor, demonstrating the soldiers' dedication to their mission.
The real climax happened at Ye Shuai's house. The veteran military leader mentioned the General Logistics Department when talking about the arrangements for General Hong's future work. This decision is not only a matter of personal career development, but also a decisive step in the logistics career of the Chinese military. The selection of the leadership of the General Logistics Department has a direct bearing on practical issues in the development of the army.
However, General Hong's submissive attitude towards the organization was surprising. In his response, the qualities of a good soldier were demonstrated. Although he was full of affection for the General Logistics Department, he was able to obey the organization's command at critical moments and serve the needs of the country. This spirit of loyalty and obedience is a quality that every soldier should possess.
This history also reflects the special period of the country at that time. The country's combat readiness situation is tense and requires experienced personnel to deal with it. Against this backdrop, General Hong's experience and leadership became a critical resource for the nation. Comrade Deng Xiaoping's explanation of this policy decision is even more thought-provoking: Solving practical problems and producing things that are actually needed is the foundation for the country's progress.
General Hong Xuezhi has demonstrated outstanding leadership skills in his post as director of the National Defense Industry Office of the State Council. His readjustment of the leading bodies and the improvement of the management system have put all aspects of the work of the national defense industry on the right track. This also reflects the desire of an era for industrial development and the expectations for the military industry.
On January 11, 1980, General Hong was again transferred to the General Logistics Department as a director. This work transfer is the result of the country's combat readiness situation and the needs of the army's development. General Hong's work in the General Logistics Department has given new life to this important organization related to the supply and logistics of the army.
General Hong Xuezhi's military career is a vivid microcosm of the development of the Chinese army. After returning from the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he was well aware of the importance of logistics in modern warfare. He regularized the logistics work, and through research and communication with the officers and men at the grassroots level, improved the canteen system and ensured the basic living needs of the officers and men. This kind of in-depth understanding and solution of practical problems at the grassroots level is a quality that every outstanding military leader should possess.
This history is also a microcosm of the development of the logistics department of the Chinese army. Under the leadership of General Hong Xuezhi, the leading body of the General Logistics Department has been readjusted and the management system has been perfected. The regularization of logistical work and the sound system have provided strong support for the building of the armed forces. General Hong Xuezhi's work is not only about the individual, but also about the logistics of the entire national army.
The depth of this historical story lies in the fact that it is not only the meeting of two generals, but also a microcosm of the development of China's military history. In a special historical period, the military needs experienced leaders who can solve practical problems. General Hong Xuezhi's career is a microcosm of responsibility and responsibility, he not only showed the excellent qualities of soldiers, but also made great contributions to the development of China's army's logistics construction. This history is worth digging deep and savoring, and the centennial portrait will continue to bring you more interesting and in-depth historical stories, walk into the corridor of history together, and feel the dedication to the country.
