After the founding of New China, due to historical reasons, there were many veteran cadres in the General Logistics Department and their work efficiency could not be improved.
has two main reasons for this. After the establishment of the General Logistics Department, the first minister concentrated a group of old logistics cadres to work in the General Logistics Department; in addition, the General Affairs Department placed some difficult general logistics that were sent to the old cadres, resulting in too bloated cadres.
At that time, there was no corresponding retirement policy issued, and there were additional seats for each position.
After experiencing the modernization of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the role of logistics work in the war is crucial. For example, what is the Volunteer Army fighting in is logistics. Only with strong logistical support can we achieve better results in the face of modern operations.
Because the general logistics department was arranged too many veteran cadres, the logistics minister has opinions on the practices of the General Affairs Department. The weakness of veteran cadres is that they are old, low in culture, and weak in body. This is universal and also brought about by history. If we face the modern war, can these veteran cadres take on the heavy responsibility?
In order to strengthen the combat readiness of the General Logistics Department, cadres need to be adjusted and promoted.
Qiu Hui made a decision to adjust the second-level ministers and directors of the General Logistics. The General Logistics Department has many deputy positions, such as the Deputy Minister and the Deputy Political Commissar, to promote the current old minister and deputy minister of the second-level department, to free up the leadership position of the second-level department, and to transfer a group of more competent people to serve as the leadership of the second-level department.
Resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea ended. The Logistics Department of the Volunteer Army had a group of outstanding cadres to the General Logistics to strengthen the construction of logistics agencies. For various reasons, they are not in important positions, but they have all experienced and motivated in logistics work.
Among them, Han Zhenji, the first minister of the Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department of , was transferred to deputy minister and was in charge of ordnance work. His successor was Zhang Mingyuan.
Han Zhenji was responsible for military education during the Agrarian Revolution and the War of Resistance Against Japan; during the War of Liberation, he went to the Northeast to be responsible for military production with Wu Xiuquan, He Changgong and others to ensure military production, and ensure weapons and ammunition in the army.
After the founding of New China, he served as the Minister of the Automobile Thresholding Machine Management Department of the General Logistics Department. In 1955, he was sent to the Soviet Union as a military officer and awarded him a lieutenant general. After returning to China in 1958, he returned to the General Logistics in 1959 and served as Minister of Ordnance.
He was once responsible for military production and was familiar with ordnance work. He was 57 years old at the time of working as the Minister of Ordnance. According to the rank of lieutenant general, many people were already the chief position at this time, at least a deputy leader. He is currently the Minister of the Second Machinery Department, which is equivalent to a military-level position.
promoted him to deputy minister, not only promoted him in his position, but also gave up his position and gave him responsibility to more experienced people.
The successor Zhang Mingyuan was 6 years younger than him. He was 51 years old at this time and began to be responsible for logistics during the War of Resistance. During the War of Liberation, he served as the Minister of the Logistics Department of the Second-level Military Region, the Minister of the Ordnance Department of the Northeast Military Region, and the Minister of the Ordnance Department of the Fourth Field Logistics Department.
After the founding of New China, he served as deputy director of the Logistics Department of the Northeast Military Region, and when he resisted the United States and aided Korea, he served as director of the Front Logistics Command of the Volunteer Army. After the establishment of the Volunteer Army Command, he served as deputy commander, assisting Hong Xuezhi in his work and director of the Logistics Department of the Volunteer Army.
Judging from his personal resume, he has rich experience in both logistics work and military rank. He serves as the Minister of Ordnance Department of the General Logistics Department, which is more conducive to the construction and development in this regard.
However, as the deputy minister, Han Zhenji is in charge of military ordnance work, and the specific implementation work is under the responsibility of Zhang Mingyuan. In this way, giving the right position to people with rich experience will greatly improve efficiency and ability.
