The joke between the chairman and Deng

1June, 945, the seventh congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was in full swing, and there was laughter at the meeting. At this point, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which lasted for eight years, is coming to an end.

In this meeting, the status of all the people in the party has undergone earth-shaking changes, and some generals who have made great achievements in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression have been promoted one after another. Chen Geng is one of them. He was elected as an alternate member of the Central Committee.

However, at the end of the meeting, when Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu De were about to take photos with everyone, Chen Geng suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Chairman, what is backup? Who should I wait for? "

The chairman knew that Chen Geng was always funny and often did something at meetings to relax everyone's nervousness, so he didn't blame him for it.

But before the chairman could speak, someone answered: "You put codonopsis pilosula in your ass-backup!"

Yet, everyone burst into laughter, even Chen Geng didn't expect someone to pick him up like this, and at that time could not help laughing together.

The atmosphere at the scene instantly relaxed a lot, and everyone was enjoying the hard-won victory.

General Chen Geng's life is also full of legends.

1924 was admitted to Huangpu Military Academy from Wujiang School of Guangzhou Army and became the first student of Huangpu Military Academy.

At school, Chen Geng's performance is particularly outstanding, and he is the top student in the team. He saved Chiang Kai-shek's life in a battle, so he was "appreciated" by Chiang Kai-shek.

Since then, Chiang Kai-shek has been drawn into his camp by heart, but Chen Geng doesn't like Chiang Kai-shek's manner and doesn't recognize his revolutionary thoughts. Especially after the "Zhongshan Ship Incident", Chen Geng was extremely disappointed with what Chiang Kai-shek had done, and from then on, he followed Premier Zhou wholeheartedly against Chiang Kai-shek.

After 1928, the revolutionary situation changed suddenly, and the situation faced by * * * was in jeopardy, so they had to shift their focus to the underground.

Chen Geng, also known as Wang Yong, worked with Premier Zhou in the Shanghai Central Secret Service. He always insisted on the front line of underground work and fought side by side with the Kuomintang reactionaries.

During this period, he was transferred to the Hubei, Henan and Anhui Soviet areas to participate in the anti-encirclement campaign, which accumulated rich combat experience for Chen Geng and made him shine in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the liberation war.

If it weren't for Gu, the underground work in Shanghai would have gone smoothly. However, because of this vain traitor, Chen Geng was captured by the Kuomintang in Shanghai.

Fortunately, Chiang Kai-shek saved his life in Chen Geng, appreciated his talent and didn't torture him. He still tried his best to pull Chen Geng into the Kuomintang camp.

However, Chen Geng refused in one sentence: "I will never join the Kuomintang even if I die."

This sentence completely angered Chiang Kai-shek. He intended to secretly "solve" Chen Geng, but after moving to Nanking, with the help of other friends, Chen Geng successfully broke away from the control of the Kuomintang and returned to the arms of the organization. Therefore, Chen Geng is one of the few generals who can get away from Chiang Kai-shek, which adds a lot of color to his legendary life.

Although the Red Army had to embark on the Long March for various reasons, Chen Geng's performance in the Long March was also remarkable and was appreciated by Chairman Mao.

People who don't know General Chen Geng will think that General Chen Geng is an unsmiling person when they meet General Chen Geng for the first time.

As a matter of fact, Chairman Mao once said that General Chen Geng was a "pistachio" in the team, and his humorous personality always brought different joys to people, which made the soldiers relaxed for a moment when fighting or meeting.

Chairman Mao knows this better than anyone, because Chen Geng is one of the few generals who dare to joke with him in public.

1943 was the most difficult time for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. Chairman Mao held an important meeting in Yan 'an to analyze the battlefield situation and possible crises within the Party.

At that time, everyone was sitting under the stage, listening attentively. After all, this is a matter of life and death within the party, and no one can be careless.

Chairman Mao made a serious speech on the podium, while others took notes carefully under the stage. Many people even sweat on their heads.

But General Chen Geng, who has always been active, has not been affected at all. After a while, he started tearing his clothes and looking around, just like a restless child in class.

Influenced by Chen Geng, many people began to pay attention to him. Unexpectedly, Chen Geng looked around and didn't seem to see it. Someone nearby whispered to remind Chen Geng to listen carefully, but after looking around for a while, Chen Geng suddenly turned to the podium, dribbling, not knowing what he was thinking.

There is no doubt that Chen Geng's behavior has attracted the attention of Chairman Mao, and people's voices are getting louder and louder, but Chen Geng doesn't care.

The chairman couldn't help asking, "Comrade Chen Geng, do you have any requirements?"

Hearing the chairman's question, Chen Geng finally reacted. He stood up, tied back the neckline he had just untied, straightened his skirt, and then strode onto the rostrum in full view, standing side by side with the chairman.

They were not sure what medicine Chen Geng was selling. The chairman looked at him with great interest and wanted to know what he would do next.

I didn't say a word, but Chen Geng picked up the cup that had been placed on the podium, gulped down the water in it, and then put it down and said, "Report, Chairman, the weather is really too hot. Let me use the water of the chairman to moisten my throat. "

It never occurred to others that General Chen Geng made such a big noise just for a sip of water, and he couldn't help laughing. Even Chairman Mao was made to laugh by Chen Geng's behavior: "Chen Geng, Chen Geng, are you still thirsty?"

"I'm not thirsty, chairman. Continue. "

The atmosphere reached a climax, and the enthusiasm of all the cadres was mobilized, and they made suggestions for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in succession, courageously striving for the first place.

While deeply gratified, the chairman looked at the narrow venue and lost in thought. Hundreds of people were crowded in the conference hall, which was not spacious enough, and even a mouthful of water could not be put in the front position. When can there be an auditorium for 10 thousand people?

Chairman Mao began to have the idea of building a great hall of ten thousand people. This idea is not as simple as thinking. Shortly after the founding of New China, the country was in urgent need, but the chairman put this construction project on the agenda. This building is today's Great Hall of the People.

The chairman never only talks about the development and construction of the country and the leadership work within the party.

Since then, Chen Geng, as always, has been active in the forefront of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which has promoted War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, and Chairman Mao's appreciation of Chen Geng has grown.

1945, Chen Geng became an alternate member of the Central Committee at the meeting of the Seventh National Congress of the CPC. Although it is only an alternate, it is enough to show that Chairman Mao has high hopes for Chen Geng.

At the end of the bustling meeting, while everyone was rejoicing for War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, Chen Geng suddenly stood up and asked, "Chairman, what did you ask the backup to do? Who is waiting? "

Chairman Mao, who had long known Chen Geng's temper, knew that he was trying to enliven the atmosphere and was not angry. He always smiles and is ready to answer his questions. Unexpectedly, Nie Rongzhen suddenly answered: "You are putting Codonopsis pilosula on your ass-backup."

At that time, everyone burst into laughter, and the hardships of years of anti-Japanese war seemed to be swept away. Everyone is looking forward to the day when peace will really come.

But Chen Geng is not just a "happy fruit" for everyone. Faced with different opinions, he is also one of the few people who dare to "challenge" Chairman Mao.

1947, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to withdraw from Yan' an and move to northern Shaanxi. Considering the disparity between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chairman Mao decided to send Chen Geng to lead four columns into northern Shaanxi to prepare for the next battle.

At this point, the overall war situation has been basically determined. Liu Deng's army is preparing to go to Dabie Mountain, which matches the Central Plains. Chen Yi stayed in southwest Shandong to contain the Kuomintang so as not to be attacked by the Kuomintang.

However, the news somehow reached the ears of Chen Geng. Chen Geng thought there was something wrong with this plan, so he took the initiative to find Chairman Mao and said frankly, "Chairman, you are overqualified. Now the national situation is getting better and better. Let the four columns retreat to northern Shaanxi instead of taking the initiative to attack. This passive defense will put us at a disadvantage. "

Hearing Chen Geng's complaint, the chairman's face showed some sadness: "I didn't ask you to cross the Yellow River this time to protect me alone. Think about how empty the military forces in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region are now. Chiang Kai-shek is eyeing you. You are the closest. You can't adjust it, which one should I adjust? " Do you want to hand over Mao Zedong and the CPC Central Committee to Chiang Kai-shek this time? "

Say that finish, the chairman excitedly stood up and patted the table with his hand, and all the tables and tables on the table spilled out. Everyone else was too scared to make any noise. After all, no one has ever seen the chairman lose such a big temper.

Chen Geng didn't dare to argue any more. He bowed his head and said, "I obey the arrangement of the organization."

Chen Geng thought that Chairman Mao was still very angry, waiting for the reprimand he was about to face. Unexpectedly, Chairman Mao laughed: "Tell a joke and scare you like this."

He felt a little confused. Premier Zhou took the lead and pulled Chen Geng back to his seat: "Chairman, I just want to hear your thoughts. Don't worry, the Central Committee agrees with you. Now we have changed the original plan. "

The chairman accepted Premier Zhou's words: "As long as we can go west to Tongguan to Zhengzhou's 800-mile battlefield, we can support Liu Deng or Chen Su's army, and we can also go west to contain Hu Zongnan, killing two birds with one stone."

This really coincides with Chen Geng's original plan, but what the Chairman said just now added to his worries. He and his team left. Who will protect the safety of the chairman?

The chairman obviously saw his thoughts from his look and said with relief, "You don't have to worry about my side. The better you play, the safer the central government will be. "

Soon after, Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou personally bid farewell to Chen Geng. Before leaving, Chairman Mao said with a smile, "We are here waiting for the good news of your victory! Don't be surprised by the verbal conflict a few days ago. "

This matter has come to an end, but we can see the unconditional trust between General Chen Geng and Chairman Mao.

After the founding of New China, the international situation is still unstable, foreign forces are eyeing, and Chen Geng is still active in the front line of the battle.

1950, when Vietnam was preparing to launch a counterattack against the French army, Chen Geng, as a senior consultant of the Vietnamese army, personally went to Vietnam to direct the campaign.

Under the command of Chen Geng, the Vietnamese army won Gaoping in the main city without fighting, which made the French army lose more than half of its mobile forces in the North Vietnam battlefield and greatly weakened the French army.

In the subsequent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Chen Geng, in order to fight against natural disasters and ensure the food supply of the volunteers, took all the staff of the logistics team, including office staff, to repair the food delivery lines in batches within a limited time, which ensured the food supply of the volunteers and ensured the volunteers successfully completed the sensational "strangulation war".

From 65438 to 0955, Chen Geng was awarded the rank of general, which was recognized by the organization and the state for his achievements.

After becoming the founding father of New China, Chen Geng was still busy in peacetime. He raised a large number of people and founded Harbin Institute of Military Engineering, which contributed to the military development of the motherland.

Later, he specially contacted Qian Xuesen and personally put forward the idea of "conducting missile research", which was also highly valued by Premier Zhou. Soon, under their preparation, the development of missiles was put on the agenda, and Harbin Institute of Military Engineering also initiated the development of atomic bombs and missiles.

Chen Geng has made great contributions to the national defense science and technology strength of the motherland.

Unfortunately, in 196 1, General Chen Geng died at the age of 58 due to physical reasons.
