Bismarck, the Iron-Blooded Chancellor of Germany, once famously said: "Truth is within the range of the cannon." This statement has been proven many times in the international community, and only with sufficient strength can other countries negotiate with you on an equal footing.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China is facing a situation of poverty and whiteness internally, and there are still many unstable factors on the outside, if you want to truly become a big country and truly "straighten your waist", nuclear weapons are necessary weapons. Only when they possess nuclear weapons will other countries not ignore our voice and will not arbitrarily infringe upon our national security.
However, China's atomic energy industry started late, and in January 1955, the Party Central Committee decided to start developing the atomic bomb after several meetings.
The successful development of the atomic bomb in that year was inseparable from the arduous efforts of many scientists, especially at that time, there was a general in the party who directly led the atomic bomb research team. This admiral once approached Premier Zhou mao sui to introduce himself, and later he was personally appointed by Chairman Mao to participate in the scientific research of the atomic bomb, and he was the famous general Song Renqian of our country.
Song Renqian is a famous founding general in China, his life is full of legends, his experience is breathtaking, he is a general that Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou are very trusted, and he can do things very successfully.
The development of the atomic bomb was the most important military task after the founding of China, and Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou Enlai unanimously agreed that he would be the main leader in accomplishing this task, and he had unlimited trust in him and greatly affirmed his ability.
Song Renqian was born on July 11, 1909, he was born in Liuyang, Hunan, and Chairman Mao was half a fellow villager, from a poor family, but when he was a child, he had the opportunity to enter a private school.
Because of the revolutionary trend in his hometown, he joined the Communist Youth League of China at the age of seventeen and became a member of the Communist Party of China, and in December of the same year, he became a member of the Communist Party.
Since the beginning of the peasant movement, he has participated in the agrarian revolution in the peasant areas, profoundly understood the rights and interests of the peasants, and understood the injustices suffered by the peasants. He also participated in the Autumn Harvest Uprising led by Chairman Mao, and then followed Chairman Mao in the struggle on Jinggang Mountain.
In June 1935, he became commander of the 28th Army of the Red Army. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, his achievements were obvious to all.
In the eight years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he defeated the enemy dozens of times in the Ji'nan Theater and as the enemy maneuvered around. Establish a solid influence in the southern Hebei region. He led the soldiers of the Ji'nan Theater and armed themselves with the local peasants, which was a good resistance to the invasion of the Japanese army.
Under his leadership, the anti-Japanese united front in the southern Hebei region was flourishing, and the residents of the areas he led actively safeguarded the anti-Japanese united front. He devoted a lot of his efforts to the establishment of the anti-Japanese base area in southern Hebei and wrote a heavy stroke for the anti-Japanese revolution.
He devoted half his life to the cause of the revolution. On the battlefield, without fear, always charging ahead, he made outstanding contributions to the country and the party.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was awarded the rank of general in 1955, and he was awarded the rank of general for his outstanding merits.
In 1956, he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the Party Central Committee as deputy director of the General Cadre Department of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, which mainly managed the appointment of military cadres and other rights, and was a very powerful leading position.
He mainly manages the appointment, removal, transfer, and appraisal of military cadres. This work is very important, and the Party Central Committee has been able to allow him to carry out this work entirely on the basis of trust in him and affirmation of his ability.
What is more important is that in the evaluation of the title work in 1955, the Party Central Committee identified a total of four generals, and Song Renqian was one of them. It can be seen that Song Renqian is a person who can be fair and just for the Party Central Committee, and is very trustworthy.
As early as when Song Renqian was doing cadre work in the army, he made the chairman very appreciative. As early as the autumn harvest uprising, Song Renqiang began to work with Chairman Mao, and after many years of handing over, Chairman Mao confirmed that he was a trustworthy person.
Song Renqian's abilities were biased toward political workers, and most of his positions in the army were political commissars. In the revolutionary war, he made a lot of contributions to the motherland. However, he is never greedy, always thinking about others and then thinking about himself when things happen, and it is precisely because he has this selfless character that many cadres can be convinced of him.
Premier Zhou needed a minister because China's geological front needed to be strengthened, preferably a member of the Central Committee of the army.
This can make it difficult for Song Renqian, a cadre minister, because although the minister and the members of the Central Committee of the Central Military Commission are at the same level, the treatment of the army is obviously higher than that of local ministers. Song Renqian couldn't bear to think about it, and finally there was no way, answering Premier Zhou to let him go.
Although Song Renqian was also very reluctant to leave the army, after all, he had fought for half a lifetime, and he was more comfortable and more comfortable in the army, and he was more adaptable. But since it is the need of the motherland, he will not linger on the pain and happiness of that moment, and where the motherland needs it, he will go wherever it is needed. So he took the initiative to recommend himself to Premier Zhou.
Premier Zhou was glad that Song Renqian could introduce himself, but Premier Zhou said that this time it would not work, and Chairman Mao was already ready to arrange another task for him.
Song Renqian was confused at that time, and then Premier Zhou explained to him that the Central Committee was preparing to set up a Central Atomic Energy Commission, and the Chairman and I agreed that you should manage it!
In order to make up for the gap in China's atomic bomb, the central government specially appointed Song Renqian as the minister of the Third Machinery Industry Department, and the most important core task of this machinery department is to make the atomic bomb. This is a promising cause for China, and it is a great trust that the central government can hand over to Song Renqian.
Chairman Mao and Zhou Enlai gave Song Ren a glorious post, and this task was also very important and arduous, and it was necessary to overcome many hardships. However, neither Chairman Mao nor Premier Zhou looked at the wrong person, and Song Renqian fulfilled the task well.
As a general who mainly grasped the task of the atomic bomb, Song Renqian made tremendous contributions to our country. Song Renqiang can shoulder heavy responsibilities, and his greatest advantage is his selfless spirit, selflessness, and bravery, and he can go firmly towards a certain goal and eventually succeed.
Song Renqian eventually became a vice-state official in China, living to the age of 96 and working for the party for nearly eighty years. His contribution can make future generations admire and admire him as a rare hero in China.
