In 1985, why did Deng Xiaoping, then Chairman of the Military Commission, want to disarm millions? All the railway soldiers who contributed to the Korean War to Resist U.S. Aid and Aid Korea are disbanded? How to deal with the commander Deng Xiaoping who has such credit? How did such a huge disarmament advance? Let us turn the clock back to the year of the disarmament of one million and see how the "iron fist" Deng Xiaoping disarmed one million.
The world situation changes and the strategic direction is changed
1985 . After a deep understanding of the current world situation and neighboring countries, Comrade Deng Xiaoping believes that China must now focus on , And all the difficulties of on the road of economic development will be swept away. One Million Disarmament is a unilateral strategic decision made by China under the leadership of Comrade Deng Xiaoping to assess the situation and the development trend of international strategy, war and peace
Looking back at other big countries, they shouted every year. The slogan of "disarmament", the actual number of troops is more and more secretly, the ambition is not dead, the intention to invade other countries is only temporarily hidden, and the arms race is held year after year. However, in such a special international situation, the did not get affected by the silt, and it has made a great contribution to world peace.At that time, the international community received rave reviews from China's , which also proved that Comrade Deng Xiaoping’s move was correct and of great significance.
This disarmament, the "three generals" of have been laid off by almost 50% There are more than 4,000 units at all levels, including divisions, regiments, and regiments. There are more than 4,000 . The county-level and city-level armed departments will be transformed into local organizations. The cadres and soldiers will retire from the active army. There are 76 types of managed by the military The cadre positions are held by soldiers, and the ratio of officers to soldiers reaches 1; 3.3 . Although many difficulties have been encountered during the disarmament period, this is a successful disarmament overall.
The essence of "millions of disarmament" is for to save military expenditures, support national economic construction, and reduce people’s taxes ,upgrade,Even if the disarmament reaches one million, the combat performance of the army has not decreased but increased, and the level of science and technology of the army and the level of weapons have also been greatly improved. In the long run, this disarmament is of positive significance for China's development and the modernization and upgrading of the military.
The road to disarmament is difficult
After Deng Xiaoping said at the meeting that he would disarm by one million, it caused various emotions in the PLA team. Some people are happy and some are worried , as a new After the establishment of China’s main force, every soldier in the People’s Liberation Army has contributed to the country, but now, from the long-term perspective of the country’s development, some people have to cut , which makes the soldiers. We can't accept it.
Deng Xiaoping knew that the disarmament was difficult, so before making this decision, he had many meetings with leaders of many countries to discuss the matter. After analyzing the international situation and understanding the situation in our country, most of the final Everyone recognized Deng Xiaoping’s idea of disarmament. At that time, China’s military expenditure was insignificant compared to other big countries. Human sea tactics , but with the development of modern warfare, 's sophisticated modern force is the top priority of the current era. If this concept is not corrected in time, it will be difficult for my country to catch up with other big countries. military power.
Deng Xiaoping believes that there are many problems in the current army building.He summarized it in five words: swelling, looseness, arrogance, extravagance, laziness , these five aspects must be rectified, and the first step is swelling , that is, adjusting the army The structure will be a vain job, and there will be no actual role in the complete reform of official positions, leadership, and departments. However, some people reacted to Deng Xiaoping. Even now, everyone has done their work in the past. Doing so will make many people sad.
But Deng Xiaoping’s determination to disarmament is firm, saying that disarmament is an offense. Let me offend it. I can’t let this kind of contradiction be left to the change of the chairman of the Military Commission. , China will become strong one day earlier, and the people will be able to enjoy one day more blessings. An old man who is already very old, because of his status as a national leader, because of his longing for a bright future for China, he may bear a lot of infamy and do it, because Deng Xiaoping knew in his heart that as long as the country can change Better, the people will be happier. It is nothing to bear the infamy. It is all right for an old party member to sacrifice his life for the motherland, not to mention this trivial matter. After
, Deng Xiaoping assigned Major General He Wenwen to be the chief person in charge of this disarmament operation. After receiving the appointment, He Wenwen seemed a bit hesitant. The impact of this incident was too great, and he himself was a person. Soldiers, most of his family and friends are also relatives, and he knows exactly what it means to let a soldier take off his uniform, and he feels uncomfortable.
Deng Xiaoping and He Zhengwen had a long conversation. Deng Xiaoping introduced to He Zhengwen the various reasons for disarmament and the benefits it would bring to the country. After He Zhengwen listened to it, he finally remained family and country feelings defeated my personal feelings,Resolutely accepted this difficult task.
After the conversation, He Wenwen immediately began to disarm according to Deng Xiaoping’s instructions. The first step was to dismantle the middle-aged soldiers in the army . The army has always been a place where meritorious deeds are rewarded. Veterans have fought more battles than recruits, and they have also experienced the most turbulent era in China. It can be said that they have won everything they have now from the rain of bullets. Most of these veterans have very high military ranks. It is one of them. The most important thing is that if we talk about our contributions to the motherland, there are indeed many and great. Although many things and subsidies will be arranged for them after retiring, but for veterans who have been on the battlefield for almost a lifetime of , taking off the uniform is the most painful thing for them.
There is also a serious redundant officer problem in the current army. Many cadres and many positions must be reduced or even cancelled. After investigation, He Wenwen found that the current army’s officer-to-man ratio is 1:2.45 , which means One out of every three people is a cadre. Deng Xiaoping once made a very sharp comment on this situation: The entire army is full of various leading cadres. How do you command a war? It's not easy for so many people to run! In such a severe situation, rectifying the military structure is the top priority.
Major General He Wenwen
Railway soldiers are dissatisfied with the ruling, Deng Xiaoping responded with seven characters
With the development and popularization of the modern army, the existence of many arms has no effect and meaning, but many of them are all Made great contributions in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Railway Soldier is a typical example.
During the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the railway soldiers made great contributions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that there would be no victory in the War of Resisting US Aggression and Aid Korea without them. But now the form of the war has changed and the railway soldiers are no longer needed. Now let them leave the army. This makes the soldiers very chilling. What is the purpose of throwing their heads on the battlefield for the motherland?
In fact, this kind of thinking is one-sided and limited. From the perspective of the nature of a soldier, the vocation of a soldier is first of all: , . Everything is based on the happiness of the people . Secondly, judging from the specific implementation of this disarmament, letting some people take off their military uniforms does not mean that the motherland and people have forgotten the blood they shed for the motherland. On the contrary, is meaningful . There is less unnecessary bloodshed, and taking off the military uniform does not mean that the motherland does not care about their future lives. Whether it is arranging employment or various subsidies, Deng Xiaoping and He Wenwen had already considered thoroughly when they formulated the general disarmament strategy.
can understand the truth, but whether you can listen to it and whether you can accept it is another matter. Since the beginning of the disarmament, He Wenwen’s office phone number has been and has not stopped , no matter it is My previous leaders or comrades who had fought bloody battles together called He Wenwen to ask for accommodating, and those who could not be cut should try their best to be different, but whether he could not be cut, it was not He Wenwen who had the final say, nor was it Deng Xiaoping. Count, but the direction of national development , World situation has the final say, He Wenzheng knows this, he can only disregard the past friendship and act according to the rules, all positions that need to be abolished will be withdrawn .
Of course, he also used his own merits and ranks to put pressure on He Wenwen . At that time, the commander-in-chief of the railway army was an honorary veteran who had made great contributions to the country, both in terms of combat experience and rank. He is much better than himself. Facing this heavyweight, He Wenwen is in a dilemma. After the two met, the commander-in-chief of the Railway Corps did not talk about disarmament, but pulled He Wenwen to talk about the of the Railway Corps. span12span , He Zhengwen knew in his heart that the railway soldiers had made too much contribution to the early days of the new China, so he silently listened to the commander-in-chief's remarks. After the commander-in-chief calmed down, the two talents began to calmly talk about disarmament, the railway soldiers. Everyone has made great achievements in the war, but now because of the form of the war, all the staff have to be abolished . This is undoubtedly very cruel to a soldier. The commander-in-chief also feels very uncomfortable in his heart. He Wenwen sees the commander-in-chief. It looks like, I can only express it first and then go back to the meeting to discuss it, and ask the leader for instructions.
But in fact, the abolition of all the railway soldiers is the result of repeated discussions among the senior leaders of the military. He Wenwen did this only to make the commander-in-chief feel better temporarily. He is entangled in how to deal with this matter. In the past few days, because the disarmament of the railway soldiers had too great an impact, it had already reached Deng Xiaoping's ears.
Deng Xiaoping made a call to He Wenwen, and he completely appraised the matter. There were only a few short words: , the head can’t get through, turn around ,After hearing this sentence, no matter what the text is or the commander-in-chief of the Railway Corps, it is clear that this disarmament action is unshakable , no matter what kind of force or position, as long as it hinders the country For development, it must be dismissed. After He Zhengwen conveyed these seven words to the leaders of the railway soldiers, they also knew that the matter had to be accepted at this point. After
, the central government has made proper arrangements for each soldier who had been abolished to ensure that they can live a good life. The country will never forget such people who have made great contributions to the motherland. It’s just that sometimes, for the sake of the country’s righteousness, some sacrifices have to be made.
Railway soldiers in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Disarmament proceeded smoothly
At the same time, many troops similar to the railway troops, after knowing that the railway troops have fully cooperated with the central disarmament operation, gradually Both began to actively cooperate with the work, and the disarmament work progressed more and more smoothly, and finally successfully completed the task of disarming one million within one year.
One million people’s armed forces Under Deng Xiaoping’s determination and He Wenwen running around the clock, countless soldiers unconditionally obeyed the country and took off their military uniforms and finally completed this difficult task.
This one million disarmament, behind an old man's beautiful vision for the future of the country, has countless soldiers abiding by their vocation, and also have a lot of sadness.
But now the Chinese People’s Liberation Army has completely become a modern, organized, and disciplined force, once proposed by Comrade Deng Xiaoping, , scattered, 11span proud , Extravagance, laziness have also been completely resolved, and this one-million-dollar disarmament operation has also laid a solid foundation for the current status of the army. The Chinese army is now able to stand on the top of the world. There is no way to get rid of the verbosity.
Comrade Deng Xiaoping's pattern and vision are worth learning from the younger generation. The development of the country and the happiness of the people are more important than personal feelings at all times. No matter when we arrive, we must not forget the importance of our family and country feelings.
