readx; When Chen Jingyun was pondering, Shen Gang didn't speak, just waiting for Chen Jingyun's thinking, but he didn't wait for Chen Jingyun's immediate answer, and Chen Jingyun said after a while: "This matter can be talked about later, now let's prepare for the promotion ceremony!" ”

Shen Gang said: "I know, the promotion ceremony has been prepared, and the meritorious generals have already rushed back from the front line one after another!" ”

In China under Chen Jingyun, almost every war will be held after the end of a large-scale promotion and award ceremony to commend the generals who have made meritorious contributions in the war, this time is no exception, although it has not been officially held but Shen Gang already knows that this promotion ceremony has confirmed that three people have been promoted to the rank of marshal, among which there are more who have been promoted to general and lieutenant general.

On December 6, 1944, Nanjing, China held a grand promotion ceremony, many sea, land and air generals rushed back to Nanjing from all fronts by special plane, and those who were fortunate enough to participate in the promotion and award ceremony were military generals at the rank of major general and above, and of course a small number of middle-level and even grass-roots officers who had extremely outstanding performance in the war, and these people who could participate in the post-war promotion and medal ceremony without exception were all awarded the diamond double sword medal and the red and gold double sword medal representing China's highest military glory.

Hundreds of generals sat together, this scene can be called the largest unified promotion ceremony in Chinese history and the history of the world, first of all, the Standing Committee of the State Military Commission, the winner of the Red and Gold Double Sword Medal, Field Marshal Shen Gang came to the stage to make a speech, after the speech was solemn and said: "Bow to the chairman to come to the stage to speak!" ”

At this time, Chen Jingyun is rare to wear the marshal's dress to the forefront, Chen Jingyun rarely wears military uniforms in ordinary times, and even if he wears it, he does not wear regular clothes such as military ranks, and the situation of wearing the official dress of the national marshal is generally on such major occasions, and it is only worn on occasions in the military system. But it is undeniable that Chen Jingyun is indeed an active soldier, and his position is the chairman of the State Military Commission, and the military rank is Marshal of the State, and the military rank of Marshal is a special military rank for the chairman of the State Military Commission, and the highest military rank of ordinary soldiers is Marshal of the military branches, such as Shen Gang's Field Marshal and Guan Shijie's Navy Marshal.

After Chen Jingyun came to the stage, he looked around, and the hundreds of generals below were all silent, staring at Chen Jingyun!

"Since the Xinhai Revolution, the soldiers of the Republic have not hesitated to shed their blood for the rise of the country and the nation, and have used their own flesh and blood to create the current prosperous situation in China. Speaking of this, Chen Jingyun paused for a moment and continued: "Here, I would like to express my highest respect to the millions of soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for the country and the nation in the past few decades! ”

After that, he paused for a moment before he began to talk about the topic of war: "In the past few years, the original 'fascist political axe' stubbornly launched a war of aggression against the Asian people in disregard of the people's expectation of happiness and freedom, resulting in great harm to the security and freedom of the Asian people in the past few years. This fascist political axe carried out a military strike. ”

"In the past six months, the results of the military attack on Yue have undoubtedly been brilliant, relying on the bravery of the Republican people and the dedication of the people, we have destroyed in one fell swoop with an unstoppable momentum, and we have also said that the people of this country and the people of Asia have a good future. In this process, many soldiers have taken the most resolute Kuomintang program as the principle of action, and have made immortal contributions to the great cause of liberating the Asian people and rejuvenating China. ”

After this empty and insubstantial opening remarks, Chen Jingyun also had no intention of continuing to talk nonsense, because the people present were all soldiers, not ordinary people or politicians, Chen Jingyun did not need to boast about them at length, soldiers are direct, they are eager to be promoted and commended if they win the battle, and other polite words are empty.

At the same time, because there were more people who were promoted and awarded medals at the same time, there was not so much time for Chen Jingyun to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly said this and then carried out the official award and award.

"In the First Battle of Amami, General Lu Jian, commander of the Second Mobile Fleet, with his extraordinary and superb command, dealt heavy losses to the main fleet of the navy in one fell swoop, and achieved great results in sinking and damaging most of the capital ships of the navy. After the Battle of Amami, General Lu Jian continued to lead by example, and continued to lead the Second Mobile Fleet to win several successive naval victories, completely defeating the maritime defense force of the "Ben", and laying a solid foundation for the security of China's coastal areas and the future landing of the "Ben". Therefore, after discussion and unanimous discussion by the Standing Committee of the State Military Commission, it was unanimously decided that Lu Jian was promoted to the rank of marshal of the Navy by special order! ”

As soon as the words fell, the venue remembered bursts of applause, and Lu Jian, who was sitting in the front row, also stood up with a red face at this time, and walked onto the podium with firm steps.

At this time, he was more excited than anyone present, the rank of marshal! This is the highest honor in a soldier's life, and it is more important than the Diamond Double Sword Medal he has received before. You must know that there are not many people with the rank of marshal in China today, there were only seven active marshals before, of which the army accounted for as many as five, and there was only one person in the navy. On the Air Force side, Wu Shizhong was the only one.

Now that he Lu Jian has become the eighth, how can this make him not excited. And more importantly, he is a double jump in a row, he was only a lieutenant general before the war, and a naval battle in Amami made him promoted to admiral, and only four months ago, he was promoted to become a marshal. Not to mention the speed of promotion in the navy, even within the Chinese navy, army and air force, it is a very rare thing.

Of course, what he didn't know was that the reason why he was promoted to the rank of marshal so quickly was also related to the battle between the three armies in China. Among the standing committee members of the State Military Commission, which is China's highest military command body, three of the five are in the army, and the other two seats are divided between the navy and the air force.

This situation would not have been much if it had been before the thirties, because before World War II, China had always been the dominant army, and the air force and navy were all in the role of the little brother. However, during World War II, China's navy and air force actually became the pillars of the army, and even the important surname was greater than that of the army, and the navy was a well-deserved absolute main force in operations, and the air force also played a large role.

Under such circumstances, the navy and the air force are naturally dissatisfied with the navy and air force's backward position in the country compared to the army, so they have always wanted to increase their influence, and the most important of these is the navy and air force's joint proposal to Chen Jingyun, calling for the number of standing committee members of the State Military Commission to be expanded from five to seven, and the two extra seats are one for the navy and air force.

In the face of the joint efforts of the Navy and Air Force, even the Army, which has always regarded itself as the boss, had to back down by three points, and finally passed this resolution in secret.

Although the scale of China's air force and navy is huge, to be honest, the number of famous generals in the navy and air force is really limited, and when the people talk about the air force, at most they know one Wu Shizhong, and no one else knows those air force generals. Although there are many middle-level generals in the navy, such as Chen Shaokuan, Wen Tinghe and others, the promotion channels on the navy side are more rigid and institutionalized, and it is estimated that the daylilies are cold when they get to the rank of marshal, and when no one can choose from it, Guan Shijie on the navy side personally made the decision and pushed out the rookie general Lu Jian in the navy, although Lu Jian had a bad reputation before, but after the Amami naval battle, due to the vigorous domestic propaganda, he has become the number one general of the navy, although he is a little young, And the qualifications are relatively shallow, but people are able to show real combat exploits, and these combat exploits are not possessed by other naval generals.

Therefore, a unified opinion was formed within the navy, and Lu Jian was actively recommended to Chen Jingyun. And Chen Jingyun also had a profound impact on Lu Jian's outstanding performance in the Battle of Amami, and he was originally intentionally cultivated, so he approved it.

The same happened with the Air Force.

Cheng Lingyong, the First Air Force of the Air Force who followed Lu Jian, was also promoted because of the tremendous role played by the First Air Force in the confrontation operation.

Cheng Lingyong's fame is actually smaller than that of Lu Jian, in fact, most of the generals of the Air Force are not well-known and do not have much sense of existence in the hearts of the people, while Cheng Lingyong is relatively better, at least the anticipation he presided over said that the strategic bombing made him famous because of its great lethality, and many people even shouted that Cheng Lingyong was the executioner and the culprit of the massacre of the civilians.
