Chapter 251 Disarmament 1 million

June 4, 1985, Great Hall of the People. Deng Xiaoping, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, gently stretched out a finger that shocked the world -- the Chinese People's Liberation Army cut 1 million personnel.

The year 1985 was the year of China's disarmament.

On 4 June, Deng Xiaoping, chairman of the Central Military Commission, made a statement to the world at an enlarged meeting of the Central Military Commission, announcing to the world: "The Chinese People's Liberation Army will reduce its personnel by 1 million." When he said this, he stretched out the index finger of his right hand and clicked it several times in the air. A finger shook an earth

For this news, Lin Yu was shocked, disarmament, and 1 million at a time, you must know that it is 1 million soldiers, not 11 million soldiers, what is the concept of 1 million soldiers, if this is not done well, it will be a big disaster, this is definitely a matter of importance in any country in the world, all countries in the world are calling for disarmament, this is really such a large-scale disarmament, only China has such confidence, and only China has such a plan.

In fact, Lin Yu also has some memories about China's disarmament, but Lin Yu doesn't remember how many people were laid off in the specific disarmament, and he didn't expect it to be 1 million.

In fact, Lin Yu didn't know that before the US president's visit to China in November 1984, the old man already had this determination to disarm one million, and such a strategic determination caused an uproar in everyone's hearts at that time, but later no one thought that it would really disarm one million.

On November 1, 1984, one month after the National Day, the Central Military Commission held a meeting in the conference hall of the Jingxi Hotel in the capital. At the meeting, the old man, then chairman of the Central Military Commission, expressed an astonishing strategic determination: to reduce the number of posts by 1 million

You must know that since the founding of the People's Republic of China, under the Cold War and other international situations, the construction of the squadron has been in a state of preparation for war. In the 80s of the 20th century, although the danger of war still existed, the forces of peace were growing day by day.

In this regard, on the basis of scientific analysis of China's national conditions, the old man believes that the security of a country ultimately depends on the economic strength of a country. At a present time when all kinds of industries are waiting to be developed, the country's economic construction is the overall situation, and we must work hard to boost the economy, and everything must be subordinated to this overall situation. "The overall situation has improved, the national strength has been greatly enhanced, and it will be easier to build some more atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, and update some equipment, whether it is in the air, at sea, or on land."

Due to various historical reasons, the PLA has been "bloated" for a long time. Disarmament to "reduce swelling" is the wish of the old man for a long time. According to incomplete statistics, in the 10 years from 1975 to 1984, the elderly talked about the issue of "reducing swelling" dozens of times. During this period, although four streamlining and reorganization were carried out, the problem of "swelling" has not been well resolved. By 1985, the PLA's military expenditure was only 19.1 billion yuan, accounting for only 2 percent of the US military's military expenditure in the same year, less than a fraction of the former Soviet Union's military expenditure, while the PLA's personnel were twice that of the US military and on par with the Soviet army. As for the reduction of 1 million, some leaders worry that it will weaken the combat effectiveness of the army. Deng Xiaoping made a vivid analogy: Can a fat man fight? In order to save more money, improve weaponry and equipment, and, more importantly, improve the quality of military and political affairs, the armed forces must reduce their numbers.

On the basis of the above understanding, Deng Xiaoping confidently pointed out: "Another 1 million reductions are, first, necessary, and second, risk-free. Lots of benefits"

Therefore, on the second day of entering 1985, the old man talked about it at the dinner table with his old buddies and old comrades-in-arms, but when it came to this matter, the old marshals and old generals, including Mr. Lin, were stunned, and then fell into deep thought, you must know that disarmament is not a joke, and it is such a large-scale disarmament.

1 million, this is not a joke, there are so many countries in the world, but there are no countries that really dare to cut so many armies, although these old marshals also know that disarmament is necessary, but disarmament is all about reducing their soldiers, so all the people are silent.

Hearing this news, although Lin Yu was surprised, he still asked: "Grandpa, is it really possible to carry out such a large-scale disarmament without skipping words."

"I don't know if I can do it, but the military must be reduced, but I'm a little worried about such a large-scale disarmament." Old Man Lin said worriedly.

Lin Yu looked at Old Man Lin, digesting this amazing news, pondering for a while, Lin Yu said: "Grandpa, since the country wants to be disarmed, can you give me a little bit of those retired soldiers, of course, I will be responsible for their future lives." ”

Old Man Lin glanced at Lin Yu and said with a smile: "You have a good plan, you have not decided here yet, you will start to calculate, but you will not suffer." ”

Lin Yu laughed hesitantly and said: "Aren't I taking it on for the country, think about it, these 1 million soldiers, the state has to arrange it, and you will have to spend money to arrange it, I will arrange them for the country, which can be regarded as reducing the burden on the country." ”

Old Man Lin laughed, and when he came back just now, his heavy mood suddenly lightened a lot, and said: "You, you just think well, but what you said is also right, but this still needs to be considered, how many people you will give you, and how many people will follow you, this still needs to be considered." ”

Lin Yu smiled hesitantly and said, "Grandpa, I'll just say that you don't do things simply, just say me, I want 500 people, you have been discussing it for a month or two, and you haven't discussed it yet, it's just not simple." ”

Old Man Lin glared at him and said angrily: ", 500 soldiers, how can you just give it to you, you are a soldier of the country and you are all raised by you." ”

Lin Yu smiled and didn't say anything more.

Lin Yu didn't have any ideas about 500 soldiers, even if he wanted to go, he was just going to balance the forces, even if they didn't do anything there, Lin Yu could afford to raise them.

Lin Yu also has ideas about China's disarmament, and if he didn't know the news before, it was nothing, but now that he knows the news, Lin Yu also has his own ideas.

1 million soldiers, that's not an ordinary 1 million people, but a million ** people, as long as 1 tenth of these 1 million people follow him, then Lin Yu has the confidence to create a powerful force, but will the country let it go? These 500 people are so difficult, and 100,000 people can't be discussed until 2012.
