The great leader Chairman Mao
"A loyal soldier, as brave as a lion, as docile as a baby, who knows only how to carry out orders."
In 1950, the roaring north wind swept the land, Beijing ushered in the first Spring Festival of New China, and the happiness in people's hearts had long driven away the cold, and all that was left was joy.
In the bustling crowd of the Qianmen railway station, a group of people were particularly eye-catching, and the dust was scattered on the cheeks of the soldiers, as if they had come from far away, with simple luggage, wives and children, but still energetic.
The children are particularly curious about the new world, looking east, west, looking at the "ding-dong" tram for a while, staring at the fragrant hotel for a while, Beijing after liberation is really good!
The soldiers eventually reached their destination, the Xinhua Hotel on Qianmen Coal Market Street, a two-story wooden building that was not perfect, but at the time it was ranked second only to the Beijing Hotel and the Six Nations Hotel in Beijing.
They were the generals among the first diplomatic ambassadors of the new China who were about to take office.
On October 1, 1949, the great leader Chairman Mao solemnly announced the founding of New China at Tiananmen Square, and immediately the decisions of "starting another land stove", "cleaning up the house and inviting guests", and "one-sided" entered the implementation stage.
In less than a month, 11 countries, including the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Hungary, and North Korea, announced the establishment of diplomatic relations with China.
The first diplomatic ambassadors
Where there is a country, there must be a handover, and where there is a handover, there must be an envoy. On November 8, 1949, the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs was formally established, and Premier Zhou concurrently served as foreign minister, and the first problem before Premier Zhou was that there were not enough diplomats.
To this end, a number of army generals with rich experience in struggle and real talents and hard work have stepped onto the diplomatic stage. First of all, outstanding cadres with culture, foreign language knowledge, and experience in foreign work are selected, and all armies are required to recommend one division-level and two regiment-level cadres for selection.
At one point, such as Su Yu, deputy commander of Sanye at that time, Xu Guangda, commander of yiye and one corps, Zhou Shidi, commander of the eighteenth corps of the North China Field Army, and Xiao Ke, chief of staff of Siye, all became candidate ambassadors.
After several agreements, the dust settled on the list of the first batch of ambassadors abroad, and Ambassador To the Soviet Union Wang Jiaxiang, Ambassador to Hungary Huang Zhen, Ambassador to Poland Peng Mingji, Ambassador to Czechoslovakia Tan Xilin, Ambassador to Romelia Wang Youping, Ambassador to Bulgaria Cao Xiangren, Head of The Delegation to the Democratic Republic of Germany Ji Pengfei, Ambassador to the Dprk Ni Zhiliang, Ambassador to Vietnam Luo Guibo, Ambassador to Sweden Geng Biao, Ambassador to India Yuan Zhongxian, Ambassador to Pakistan Han Nianlong, Ambassador to Myanmar Yao Zhongming, Ambassador to Mongolia Ji Yatai, Ambassador to Indonesia Wang Renshu and Minister to Switzerland Feng Xuan.
So what were the positions of these ambassadors before they became diplomatic ambassadors? How many people are from general backgrounds?

Wang Jiaxiang
Born in 1906 in Jing County, Anhui Province, Wang Jiaxiang has a emaciated face and always wears a pair of gold wire glasses.
In his youth, Wang Jiaxiang participated in the anti-imperialist patriotic movement, and at the age of 19, he went to Moscow to study at Sun Yat-sen University, and after further study, he became a famous "red professor".
After entering the Jiangxi Soviet District in 1931, Wang Jiaxiang became the second director of the General Political Department of the Red Army after Chairman Mao, and the importance of the commander, chief of staff, political commissar, and director of the political department in a team was self-evident.
Wang Jiaxiang, who initially supported Wang Ming, slowly discovered that Chairman Mao's "rural encirclement of the city" was the best way to meet China's needs at that time, and eventually sided with Chairman Mao.
In the continuous exchanges with Chairman Mao, Wang Jiaxiang felt more and more that Chairman Mao's strategizing and far-sightedness were far-sighted. At the Zunyi meeting, Wang Jiaxiang was the first to speak and cast a crucial vote that allowed Chairman Mao to regain command of the party and the Red Army, and at this point, chairman Mao, Zhou Enlai, and Wang Jiaxiang's "military trio" was born.
During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Wang Jiaxiang continued to serve as director of the General Political Department of the Central Military Commission and concurrently served as acting director of the General Political Department of the Eighth Route Army, becoming an important figure in our army.
According to his qualifications, if he participated in the 1955 award, he would be able to become a recipient of the rank of general.

However, no one expected that Peng Mingji, who had become an important general on his own, would stay in the post of brigade commander for ten years.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Peng Mingzhi led the 3rd Division and 7th Brigade of the New Fourth Army to the northeast, and during the Siping Defense Battle, the troops suffered tragic sacrifices, Peng Mingzhi became ill with overwork, and tuberculosis was serious.

The founder of the Chinese public school, Ma Junwu, a celebrity from Guangxi, and Han Nianlong, who focused on the U.S. economy during his school years, hoped to save the barren country through his studies. This experience also laid a solid foundation for his later diplomatic career.
In 1935, Han Nianlong joined the Communist Party of China and joined the anti-Japanese guerrillas on Chongming Island in Shanghai.
After several storms, by the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Han Nianlong had become the director of the political department of the third column of the New Fourth Army's Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region, and later served as the director of the political department of the eighth column of the Central China Field Army and the director of the political department of the fourth column of the Huaye.
When the 33rd Army was founded, he was appointed political commissar of the 33rd Army, becoming a general under Chen Yi who could fight a good war. After the founding of New China, Han Nianlong concurrently served as the deputy political commissar of the Shanghai Garrison District.
In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Han Nianlong was appointed as the head of the Volunteer Army Prisoner of War Regiment, responsible for the management of prisoners of war, and then the newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs was in urgent need of talents, and Han Nianlong became a conscripted target.
When a paper was transferred to him, he still wanted to stay in the army, after all, he was a soldier, and in the end he chose to obey the order, obey the command, and become the first ambassador to Pakistan.

After the founding of New China, the newly established Ministry of Foreign Affairs urgently needed talents. When considering the issue of the selection of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Chairman Mao said: "The Platon Army has trained a large number of cadres and is a place where cadres are produced. ”
Under chairman Mao's instructions, the Central Committee decided to select a number of outstanding cadres within the Platon To work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Premier Zhou, who was in charge of diplomatic work at the time, after consideration, selected a group of young military cadres to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so these diplomats became out-and-out "general ambassadors."
Soldiers, who regard obedience to orders as their duty and their duty to defend their homeland, abandon their own aspirations and make firm choices without complaint or regret when the motherland needs them.
Even when they stand on the front line of New China's diplomacy that they are not familiar with, facing the challenges of new posts and facing new missions, they are still like soldiers charging and fighting on the battlefield, fearless and brave.
