They are the first political and industrial directors after the adjustment and formation of the new group army.

Before the military reform, Liu Bencheng was the former director of the Political Department of the 14th Army Group.On July 30, 2017, Liu Bencheng was interviewed as the director of the Political Work Department of the 74th Group Army in a video report titled "The Army and the Armed Police Forces Conscientiously Studying and Implementing the Spirit of Chairman Xi's Important Speech" broadcast by CCTV's Military Reporting Column.

Less than a year after the disclosure of this position, Liu Bencheng changed again. He was transferred from the army to the navy, and became the deputy director of the navy's political and industrial department, ranking among the officers of the army.

Liu Bencheng's predecessor was Major General Cao Xinyuan. His most recent public activity was during this year's Two Sessions, when he was interviewed by the People's Liberation Army Daily about the establishment of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs.At that time, Cao Xinyuan was still the deputy director of the Navy's Political Work Department.

Tang Xinghua also took up the post twice within a year, and his latest position is the chief of the 83rd Army.

According to Xinxiang Daily, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, on July 26, when the 91st anniversary of the founding of the army was approaching, Xinxiang Mayor Wang Dengxi led a condolence team to the 83rd Group Army to extend festive congratulations and cordiality to all the commanders and fighters of the group army.Tang Xinghua, Shen Zhujun, and Yang Jun, the chiefs of the group army, attended the symposium.

Before the military reform, Tang Xinghua was the director of the political department of the former 16th Army.On June 18 last year, CCTV reported that he served as the director of the Political Work Department of the 82nd Army.

In the media reports this time, the appearance of the head of the 83rd Army Group means that he has assumed the new role of the 83rd Army Group.Both the 82nd Army and the 83rd Army belong to the Central Theater Army, and are stationed in Baoding, Hebei and Xinxiang, Henan, respectively.

The latest to be exposed is Major General Wang Liangfu.He used to be the director of the Political Department of the 13th Army, and after the military reform, he served as the director of the Political Work Department of the 72nd Army, which belongs to the Army of the Eastern Theater Command.

This time, Wang Liangfu was appointed as the deputy director of the Political Work Department of the Eastern Theater, which is a transfer within the Eastern Theater.

At present, none of the three group armies has ushered in the second director of the political and industrial department after the military reform.

Within 100 days, it was revealed that they were the new directors of the Ministry of Political Affairs, and two of them were promoted to the deputy theater level at the same time:

Major General Wang Zheng has been engaged in political work in the Air Force for a long time. He used to be the director of the Propaganda Department of the Air Force Political Department, the political commissar of the Air Force Equipment Research Institute, and the director of the Air Force Political Department of the Jinan Military Region.Served as the political commissar of the Air Force Rehabilitation Office of the Jinan Military Region and the director of the Air Force Political Work Department of the Northern Theater Command.

Wang Zheng's appointment as the new director of the Navy's political and industrial department is a cross-service transfer.His predecessor, Lieutenant General Chen Xuebin, was transferred across services to the Air Force as deputy political commissar. This is a veteran who has served in the naval political system for a long time.

There is also a cross-service adjustment. Liu Qingsong, the new political commissar of the East China Sea Fleet, is the second general of the Air Force to be transferred to the Navy after Wang Zheng, and the first cross-service political commissar of the East China Sea Fleet from the Air Force.

In addition to these three, the major general Liu Bencheng mentioned earlier was also transferred across the military.

Zhengzhiquan (WeChat ID: wepolitics) would like to say a few more words here.

In recent military personnel adjustments, cross-service transfers have increased.This is nothing new.

The 2015 National Defense White Paper clearly stated that it is necessary to establish and improve the joint operational command organization of the Military Commission and the joint operational command system of the theater, and that cross-service exchanges are conducive to the cultivation of joint operational command personnel.

In April 2016, the leaders of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China were at the Joint Operations Command Center of the Military CommissionThe inspection pointed out that improving the joint command center of the Military Commission is an important part of deepening the reform of national defense and the army, and this is the first disclosure of this command center.One of the key points of this round of military reform is to build a joint combat command system. The purpose is to break the traditional concept of a single military branch fighting alone, and it becomes necessary to cultivate joint combat command talents.

Another promotion was Major General Qin Shutong, who had rich experience in military political work.

According to public information, he had served in the former Nanjing Military Region for a long time, serving as the director of the political department of the former 31st Army, deputy political commissar, and political commissar of the 1st Army.After the military reform, he served as the first political commissar of the 75th Army.

A year later, Qin Shutong assumed the new post again, succeeding Liu Jiaguo as the director of the Army's Political Work Department, and was promoted to the deputy theater level.Liu Jiaguo was transferred to the Political Commissar of the National Defense Mobilization Department of the Military Commission in March this year, and was revealed to be promoted to Lieutenant General on August 20.

Most of the personnel adjustments above are local to local, and there is one special one.

Yin Hongwen, who was parachuted from the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission to serve in the Eastern Theater Command.

Yin Hongwen is a major general. He served as the head of the Organization Department of the Political Department of the former Nanjing Military Region, the political commissar of the First Infantry Division of the 1st Group Army of the Army, the political commissar of the 311 Base of the former General Political Department, and the former secretary-general of the General Political Department.After the adjustment and establishment of the Central Military Commission in January 2016, he successively served as the director of the General Office of the Political Work Department of the Military Commission and the assistant to the director of the Political Work Department of the Military Commission.

On December 9, 2017, the video footage of CCTV's military report showed that Yin Hongwen was wearing a deputy theater-level seniority badge to attend an exchange conference, which meant that he had been promoted to a deputy theater-level officer.

In February of this year, Yin Hongwen was confirmed as the leader of the Eastern Theater Command.Until August 13, the Political and Legal Committee of the Party Committee of the Eastern Theater Command and the Political and Legal Committee of the Party Committees of the six provinces (cities) where they were stationed jointly held the first cooperation meeting on military-related rights protection work.
