It is an important political advantage of the party and the country.
The People's Liberation Army is a people's army under the absolute leadership of the Communist Party of China. In the cause of national and people's liberation, the most fundamental achievements and progress made by the people's army is to rely on the party's strong leadership and adhere to the party's principle of building guns under the command of guns. Comrade Mao Zedong, the founder of the People ’s Army, once profoundly pointed out: “The Red Army struggled hard and did not collapse, and the 'branch was built on the company' is an important reason.” Looking back on history, the People's Army was able to conquer military militarily because of political Reliable guarantee; the reason why you can directly face the bullets and rain in the battlefield is because you have crossed the rapids of thought. Listen to the party's command-this distinctive mark engraved in the soul of the officers and soldiers of the whole army during the war years, traverses the historical flames and always shines brightly.
In the cause of building a new China, the People's Army resolutely heeded the party's command and made tremendous contributions in safeguarding national security and stability. The facts of countless blood and fire have fully proved that the army ’s listening to the party ’s command is not only a blessing for the army, but also for the country, the people, and the nation. In the defense of the border, sea, and air defense, the People ’s Army always listens to the party ’s call, whether it is to defend the country and defend the country from the United States, or to defend the country from the invasion of foreign enemies. The People ’s Army follows the people ’s call and the party ’s command to effectively defend. The border and air defense of New China and the security and stability of the surrounding areas.

In the early days of reform and opening up, the People ’s Army listened to the party ’s command and supported the country ’s economic construction. “The army must be patient” and guard the country ’s security with the lowest military expenditure in history. As the country's economy improves, the People's Army follows the Party's command and enters the normal track of modernization. National defense strength has been rapidly developed and leaped up, providing a strong guarantee for the country's peace and stability.
Entering a new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics, listening to party command as the soul of army building has risen to a new peak. General Secretary Xi Jinping focused on adhering to and developing socialism with Chinese characteristics and realizing the Chinese national dream of a great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. He made a series of important expositions on strengthening national defense and army building, and clearly proposed the building of a people who listen to the party ’s command, can win the war, and have a good style of work. The strong military goal of the army.

This has pushed our party's army building and army management thinking to a new stage of development. Since then, the rebirth of the People ’s Army has detoxified, strengthened the muscles, and strengthened the bones. The most important thing is that the army ’s soul consciousness can be further strengthened.
From the border of the northern country to the land of Lingnan, from the Gobi Desert to the coast of the East China Sea, no matter where he went, Chairman Xi repeatedly emphasized and repeatedly instructed the soul of the army. When attending the plenary meeting of the 12th National People's Congress, the Chinese People's Liberation Army delegation pointed out that it is necessary to listen to the party's command and build the soul of the army, uphold the fundamental principles of the party's absolute leadership over the army and the fundamental purpose of the people's army.

When the party and the people need it, whether the army stands firm, reliable, and wins depends on the success or failure of the party's cause, whether it is a life or death. The people ’s army can effectively fulfill its mission and tasks. The fundamental point is to always listen to the party ’s command, take the party ’s banner as the banner, and the party ’s will as the will, and reflect the party ’s command and adherence to the party ’s absolute leadership of the army in all fields and manifestations. In the whole process, our army maintains strong cohesion, combat strength and vigorous vitality.
In the old days, there was the old grand pass, and today there are today's peaks.
