After the commander-in-chief's words, the wedding date of Li Qiufan and Tian Yu was quickly set in May 1956.
When the wedding day came, the commander-in-chief came to Yunnan from the capital and attended Li Qiufan's wedding.
Tian Moxuan was also dumbfounded after seeing the commander-in-chief. Only now did he know who the elder Li Qiufan was talking about.
As a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Tian Moxuan was not familiar with the Commander-in-Chief, but he had met him several times.
So when I saw the Commander-in-Chief attending the wedding as Li Qiufan's elder, I was quite shocked.
In addition to being shocked by the Commander-in-Chief's identity, Li Qiufan was somewhat surprised. He knew how busy the Commander-in-Chief was.
After Li Qiufan and Tian Yu's wedding, Tian Yu became pregnant in less than two months, which made Li Qiufan extremely happy.
Nothing major happened in the following days. Li Qiufan spent the whole day dealing with daily work and accompanying Tian Yu, who was pregnant.
In April 1957, Li Qiufan and Tian Yu's child was born. He was a chubby little boy.
But when it came to naming their children, Li Qiufan and Tian Yu had differences.
As expected, Tian Yu chose the name Li Tete, and Li Qiufan thought it was like a black line on his forehead.
Because after hearing this name, Li Qiufan couldn't help but think of Li Yunlong's big face.
In the end, Li Qiufan also acted arbitrarily, ignored Tian Yu's opinions, and named his son Li Shuo.
Time soon came to August 1958. On this day, Li Qiufan was reviewing documents in the office, and Zhao Gang suddenly ran over in a hurry.
"Qiu Fan, something big happened!"
Zhao Gang closed the door tightly after entering the office, and then said to Li Qiufan with a solemn expression.
"What happened?"
Li Qiufan looked at Zhao Gang with confusion, wondering what big thing had happened to make him so anxious.
"I received news from the capital that the current chief of general staff has been dismissed from his post!"
Zhao Gang didn't hold back and told the news he had learned.
Because Zhao Gang often went to the capital for meetings, he got to know many generals in the capital. It was one of them who told him the news this time.
After listening to Zhao Gang's words, Li Qiufan immediately realized what was going on.
But this matter has nothing to do with him, and it doesn't involve anyone related to him.
"This matter has nothing to do with us. You, Lao Zhao, just go back and work hard. Stop worrying about it!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Qiufan opened his mouth to dismiss Zhao Gang. There was no need for them to get involved in this matter.
"Why doesn't it matter? That's a big deal!"
Zhao Gang glanced at Li Qiufan first, and then said to him angrily.
"Is it too big? What's going on?"
Li Qiufan was a little confused. He really couldn't think of any relationship between this matter and them.
"Besides this incident, there is another news coming from the capital, about you!"
Zhao Gang sighed helplessly, and then continued to speak to Li Qiufan.
"About me? What does it have to do with me?"
Li Qiufan really couldn't understand. He hadn't been to the capital for a long time, and he had been living with his tail between his legs during this period. Even so, it could still involve him.
"After the person was dismissed, the next candidate was not announced immediately, so people in the capital are now speculating on who will take over!"
"And you, Li Qiufan, are considered the most likely!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, Zhao Gang continued to talk about the current situation in the capital.
"What? I take over?!"
Li Qiufan's eyes widened even more as he listened to Zhao Gang's story. He never expected that this matter would develop like this.
Li Qiufan knew about this, and also knew who later took over as chief of general staff.
But now this matter is actually different. Not only has the capital not decided on the person to take over as chief of general staff, but he has also been involved.
"That's right, this is what is said in the capital now!"
Zhao Gang nodded towards Li Qiufan, that's what the general from the capital who told him the news told him.
"What's going on! I'm so far away from the capital, so I'm provoking someone!"
Li Qiufan was really helpless. He couldn't even hide from these things, and now he was passively involved.
"I don't think this is a good thing either. How about you call the Commander-in-Chief?"
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement. He also felt that it was best for Li Qiufan not to be involved in this matter, and asked him to call the commander-in-chief to ask about the situation.
"Forget it. The commander-in-chief is also very busy. Don't cause any trouble to him!"
Li Qiufan fell silent after hearing Zhao Gang's words, then shook his head and said.
Because Li Qiufan knew very well about this matter and the Commander-in-Chief was also one of the parties involved, he had better not make this call.
"That's okay."
Zhao Gang could tell that Li Qiufan should know something, but it was difficult for Zhao Gang to ask unless Li Qiufan took the initiative to ask, so he could only nodded and said.
Li Qiufan was very restless in the next few days, because he felt that they were really considering him, otherwise it would not have been so long since they decided on the candidate.
And Li Qiufan didn't want to be transferred to the capital, because there was now a big whirlpool, and no matter who went there would be swallowed up.
After half a month of anxiety, a piece of news from the capital finally made Li Qiufan settle down. Someone finally took over the post of Chief of General Staff, and the candidate was the one Li Qiufan remembered.
As everything settled, Li Qiufan breathed a sigh of relief. This errand finally did not fall on him.
After the incident was over, Li Qiufan gave orders to Lao Ma and the commanders of the 1st, 24th and 4th armies to rush to the Kunming Military Region for a meeting.
As for the purpose of calling Lao Ma and others to the meeting, Li Qiufan wanted to make some adjustments to the army and improve the overall combat effectiveness of the army.
Because in the final battle on the peninsula, each unit captured a large number of beautiful national heavy weapons, and later these weapons and equipment were all assigned to the armored divisions.
Therefore, the current armored division can be said to be a real landlord. It has too many heavy artillery, tanks and anti-aircraft armored vehicles, and the existing strength of the armored division is simply not enough to control so much equipment.
So Li Qiufan had an idea to make some adjustments to the First, Second and Fourth Armies, break up the armored divisions and integrate them into these three armies, and imitate the configuration of later armies to form three synthetic forces.
