In October 1976, the "Gang of Four" was smashed in one fell swoop. On October 14, the news was officially announced to the public. At the same time, another major news was announced. Hua Guofeng became the chairman of the Central Committee and the chairman of the Military Commission. After the two news was announced, the whole country celebrated, and celebrations were held in various places, called the "Double Celebration Conference".

After that, various departments also promoted Hua Guofeng. At that time, some people suggested that the Academy of Military Sciences should come forward and write an article in history that Hua Guofeng is the well-deserved commander of our army. However, Su Yu , who was then the vice president of the Academy of Military Sciences and the first political commissar, was not allowed to publish such articles.

Why did Su Yu have this attitude? This has to start with Su Yu's principle of doing things. Su Yu is a person who is not only the best but only the truth, which is very commendable. As we all know, Su Yu is the number one general, but few people know that he has refused to be a marshal three times.

Su Yu commanded many classic and critical battles, such as Menglianggu Battle , Eastern Henan Battle and Huaihai Battle , etc. Chairman Mao praised Su Yu's superb military command art many times, especially when Su Yu was awarded the title of marshal three times, and Chairman Mao praised him.

In the end, Chairman Mao said: "It is okay not to be a marshal, but he must be the first general." In this way, Su Yu became the first general. Su Yu was a person who dared to adhere to principles. During the War of Liberation, Chairman Mao suggested that Su Yu go to the outside line to fight and support each other inside and outside.

However, after analyzing, Su Yu came to a different conclusion, believing that the troops were concentrated in the Suzhong and area to fight. After Su Yu repeatedly "strife with reason", his superiors agreed to stay in Suzhong and rush to fight. After that, Su Yu achieved a brilliant record of " Suzhong and 7 wins ".

However, Su Yu suffered a lot of losses because of his straightforward personality, especially after the founding of New China, when Su Yu became the chief of staff of the army, he was criticized. In 1958, Su Yu was criticized at the enlarged meeting of the Military Commission of .

At that time, Su Yu's mistake was overexaggerated, resulting in him being labeled as "extreme individualism". Su Yu reviewed it many times before he passed it, but his "hat" was never taken off. On September 19, 1958, Su Yu officially served in the Academy of Military Sciences, serving as vice president and first deputy secretary of the Party Committee, in charge of daily work.

Su Yu worked diligently at the Academy of Military Sciences. In the special decade, Su Yu has protected many old comrades to the best of his ability, such as Song Shilun , Wang Xinting and others. After crushing the "Gang of Four", Su Yu repeatedly urged the Academy of Military Sciences to speed up the rehabilitation work.

In the inventory work, Su Yu insisted on taking a cautious attitude, and personally talked to someone many times and studied the materials repeatedly. As the first political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences, Su Yu insisted on not drawing conclusions easily, and must be responsible for comrades and problems, and be very cautious.

Therefore, after Hua Guofeng was elected as the Chairman of the Military Commission, someone proposed to discuss Hua Guofeng as the commander of our army in history, Su Yu boycotted it. Su Yu's reason was very simple. Hua Guofeng's resume did not conform to this statement. In history, Hua Guofeng had almost never commanded operations and had been engaged in political work for a long time.

such arguments do not conform to the facts. Su Yu believes that Hua Guofeng has a high status, but should adhere to the principle of seeking truth from facts. Therefore, Su Yu does not support publishing such articles. After learning about this, Marshal Ye praised Su Yu and said, "When you do well, you, the first political commissar of the Academy of Military Sciences, have been well-behaved!"
