● learn from the history of military talent development—— Experience and Enlightenment of talent construction in our army introduction In the historical periods of revolution, construction and reform, our party has always attached great importance to the construction of talent team. It has not only created an invincible people's army and trained and brought up a large number of outstanding military talents, but also bred and formed an extremely rich valuable experience and fine tradition of talent construction. Inheriting and carrying forward the rich spiritual wealth of our army's talent construction is of great significance to strengthen the army's talent construction in the new era. Adhere to the strategic position of giving priority to the development of talents In May 1937, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out in his report "struggle for millions of people to enter the Anti Japanese national united front", that to guide a great revolution, we should have a great party and many of the best cadres. In October 1938, Comrade Mao Zedong made a report on the status of the Communist Party of China in the national war. When talking about the cadre policy, he stressed that the Communist Party of China is a party leading the great revolutionary struggle among a large nation of tens of thousands of people. Without the majority of leading cadres with both ability and morality, it can not complete its historical task. After the political line is determined, cadres are the decisive factor. It is our combat task to train a large number of new cadres in a planned way. This fully shows that our party and army have placed talent construction in an extremely important strategic position from the beginning. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, preparations for military struggle and modernization have been further promoted, and the urgency of cultivating new military talents who shoulder the important task of building a strong army has become more and more prominent. President Xi has repeatedly stressed that "human resources are the first resource", "the way to build a strong army should be based on people" and "human resources are valuable strategic resources for building a strong army", and put talent construction under the strategic layout of national defense and military modernization, carry out systematic research and integrate it into the process of deepening national defense and military reform. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we must accelerate the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the army with talents, earnestly take the construction of talents as a top priority, give priority to the strategic position of development, strengthen the constraints of laws and regulations, strengthen the traction of strategic planning, work consistently and for a long time, and work to the end with a blueprint. Adhere to the basic principle that the party is in charge of cadres and talents Adhering to the party's management of cadres and talents is a valuable experience repeatedly verified in the course of our party's hundred years of struggle, which fundamentally reflects the party's consistent will and requirements in military talent work. This principle sprouted in the first revolutionary team "armored motorcade" established under the actual leadership of our party in 1924. "The allocation and transfer of all personnel are decided by the CPC Guangdong and Guangxi Regional Committee"; Based on the Nanchang Uprising in 1927, when our party independently led the revolutionary war and fired the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries, it put forward the idea and content that the party should manage the party and the party should manage the cadres. Many basic institutional mechanisms, procedural methods and discipline rules were gradually formed during the Agrarian Revolutionary War and the war of resistance against Japan, and systematically standardized during the war of liberation. In July 1947, our army promulgated the regulations of the Party committee (first draft), which clearly put forward that "all major issues should be collectively discussed and decided by the Party committee". History has proved that adhering to the principle of the party managing cadres and talents is the fundamental guarantee for the continuous victory of our army in various historical periods of revolution, construction and reform. It is the key for our army to always maintain concentration, unity and high stability, and to always maintain the nature, purpose and style of the people's army. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we must unswervingly adhere to the party's absolute leadership over the army, comprehensively and thoroughly implement the chairman responsibility system of the Military Commission, strengthen the organization and selection of personnel, standardize the rights and responsibilities of Party committees, leaders and political organs in the selection and appointment of personnel, and adhere to the investigation and identification of talents from the dimensions of loyalty to the party, political sensitivity, moral purity and awe of law and discipline, Ensure that the talent team is absolutely loyal, pure and reliable. Adhere to the construction of talent team around improving combat ability During the revolutionary war, the army's talent work focused on everything for the front line and victory. Relying on war practice, it trained a large number of military talents and heroes who listened to the party's command, were good at fighting and were brave and unyielding. In 1952, Comrade Mao Zedong said, "the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea is a big school, where we carry out a big exercise, which is better than running a military school." no doubt, the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea laid a foundation for our army to cultivate a talent team who knows how to fight a modern war. This shows that talent preparation is the most important war preparation, and actual combat is the best grindstone for talent. With the in-depth advancement of our army's modernization and preparations for military struggle, the rapid development of weapons and equipment and new combat forces, winning future wars puts forward new and higher requirements for talent construction. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we must firmly establish the core orientation of educating people in war, deeply correct the accumulated disadvantages of peace, highlight the training of generals before military training, guide all levels to focus all their attention and energy on studying war and commanding operations, pay attention to identifying, refining and Testing Talents in an environment of actual and similar actual combat, and pay attention to carrying forward learning war in war In the fine tradition of cultivating talents in war, we should pay attention to the formation of public opinion guidance, work guidance, employment guidance and policy guidance conducive to improving combat effectiveness, encourage officers and soldiers to plan, study and work for war, and speed up the forging of a talent team to win war. Adhere to the selection and appointment of talents according to the standard of good cadres in the army At the Sixth Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out that there have always been two opposing lines in our national history: one is the line of "meritocracy" and the other is the line of "favoritism". The former is a decent line and the latter is an unorthodox line. The Communist Party's cadre policy should be based on whether it can resolutely implement the party's line, obey the party's discipline, have close ties with the masses, have the ability to work independently, be active and willing to work without seeking personal interests. This is the line of "appointing people on merit". It is precisely because of the implementation of the line of meritocracy in our army that outstanding talents in all aspects can be found and used in time, showing a vivid situation of "talented people from generation to generation". To sum up, the standard of good cadres is to have both political integrity and ability. At the same time, it is concrete and historical. During the revolutionary war, cadres who were loyal to the party, brave and good at fighting and were not afraid of sacrifice were good cadres. During the period of socialist revolution and construction, cadres who understand politics, business, red and professional are good cadres. In the early stage of reform and opening up, cadres who supported the line, principles and policies determined by the Third Plenary Session of the eleventh CPC Central Committee were good cadres. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi clearly pointed out that good military cadres should be loyal to the party, good at planning wars, dare to take responsibility, outstanding achievements and integrity. This standard has set up the appearance of good military cadres, greatly enriched and developed the connotation of the times with both political integrity and ability, and is the fundamental principle for strengthening the construction of talent team. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we must adhere to the selection and appointment of talents according to the standards of good military cadres, strictly control the political, ability, conduct, style and integrity, select and motivate people with correct guidance, strive to forge a team of high-quality cadres who are loyal, clean and responsible, and strive to gather outstanding talents in all aspects who are determined to strengthen the army and win. Adhere to the Trinity new military talent training system In the development process of talent construction, our army has never trained military talents only by college education or military practice. Cultivating military talents through the combination of education and training and practical training is an important experience in the construction of military talents. During the war years, on the one hand, our army learned war through war, emphasizing training and investigating talents in the process of revolutionary struggle and combat; At the same time, it also attaches importance to cultivating talents through the establishment of schools. In 1927, Comrade Mao Zedong founded the teaching team of the first regiment of the first division of the first army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Revolutionary Army in Longjiang Academy in Ninggang, Jiangxi Province. The Red Army school was established the following year, which began the history of military academy education. During the war, the troops fought and transferred frequently. The camp schools could only run schools while fighting. They could go to class when they put down their guns and fight when they carried their guns. They were vividly called "schools on horseback". After the founding of new China, in order to effectively solve the problem of the generally low cultural level of officers and soldiers and better meet the needs of military regularization and modernization, our army began to make up the gap in culture and science and technology, and made great efforts to improve the scientific and cultural level of officers and soldiers. Historical experience enlightens us that talent training is a systematic project. Without "system", it is difficult to be effective. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we should build a New Trinity military talent training system, give full play to the role of military college education in consolidating the foundation, transforming and applying military training practice, and supplementing and expanding military vocational education, so as to enable our military talent training to achieve full participation in the object, full-time training in the process and full coverage in the field. Adhere to attracting talents from all over the world and devote themselves to the cause of building a strong army In terms of gathering talents, our party has always paid attention to inspiring people with revolutionary undertakings, attracting people with enlightened policies and condensing people with broad feelings. During the war of resistance against Japan, the party put forward the talent policy of "freedom to come and go" for intellectuals, which "did not ask about origin, did not refuse to come", "go, send off, and welcome again", forming a talent spectacle of tens of thousands of young people going to Yan'an. In April 1941, the Central Military Commission issued a "policy instruction on the absorption and treatment of specialists in the army", requiring all troops to "give special material preferential treatment" to all kinds of specialists, so that they can "concentrate on their work without worries about life". As Comrade Mao Zedong pointed out, "the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region centered on Yan'an is the most progressive place in the country. It is a democratic Anti Japanese base area". In the early days of the founding of new China, a hundred wastes were waiting to flourish. Our Party adopted the "five fixed measures" of setting the direction, tasks, personnel, equipment and system to give scientific and technological workers a stable scientific research working environment and attract thousands of foreign students to return home from all over the world. Including the Kuomintang uprising generals, such as Cheng Qian, Fu Zuoyi and Chen Mingren. Planted Wutong tree, attracting Phoenix. To strengthen the construction of military talents in the new era, we should use the great cause of strengthening the army to attract talents from all over the world, enhance the attraction of the military profession, implement a more active, more open and more effective talent policy, and attract outstanding talents from all aspects to serve the construction and development of our army with the insight of knowing talents, the sincerity of loving talents, the courage of using talents, the elegance of accepting talents and the good recipe of gathering talents.
