What are the requirements for a major general to be promoted to a lieutenant general?

The difficulty of a major general being promoted to lieutenant general was not the same. There were many factors that affected it. From some examples, there were different situations. For example, Xu Xiaoyan was promoted from major general to lieutenant general in 11 years. During this period, he had to undertake military tasks in his military career and play a leading role in scientific and technological innovation. This showed that the promotion process was accompanied by the continuous development of his own abilities and the requirement of making contributions in many aspects. Liao Xilong was promoted to lieutenant general at the age of 53. He had accumulated experience and made achievements in military-related matters such as logistics support. He had also accumulated a certain number of years of service and contributions. It took Xu Lili 10 years to be promoted from major general to lieutenant general. During her service in the Navy, she was promoted through continuous hard work and achievements. In 1955, there was a case where a major general was promoted to lieutenant general due to special merits such as " meritorious service in the leather brigade." This meant that under special circumstances, significant military merits or special contributions to the army would allow the promotion to skip the conventional steps. Overall, it was difficult for a major general to be promoted to a lieutenant general. On the one hand, there were strict promotion standards in the military system. This required officers to continuously accumulate experience and improve their abilities in military command, combat ability, military management, and other military-related matters. At the same time, they also had to consider factors such as the length of their service. On the other hand, in the development of the modern army, they still needed to adapt to the requirements of the military's modern construction, such as the construction of information technology, in order to meet the requirements for promotion.

It was possible for a major general to be promoted to a lieutenant general, but there were many factors that would affect it. In the military rank promotion system, the promotion of a general, especially a major general, was not purely based on seniority. For example, Xu Xiaoyan had been promoted from major general to lieutenant general in 11 years. To be promoted, one had to go through layers of selection and obtain the approval of their superiors. Every officer with potential had to meet specific requirements. Officers with actual combat experience (including participating in major military exercises, performing well in border conflicts, serving as commanders of peace-keeping forces, etc.) often had an advantage in promotion. In addition, professional technical personnel who achieved important results in their professional fields (such as Yang Liwei in the aerospace industry, Li Xianyu in the information construction) could also be promoted. Age was only one of the factors. If a 58-year-old major general met the above requirements, he would have a chance to be promoted to lieutenant general.

To be promoted to lieutenant general, a major general needed to hold a deputy regional position for at least two years. At the same time, if an officer made outstanding contributions in battle or work, his rank could be promoted in advance. Therefore, it was impossible to determine whether a 56-year-old major general could still be promoted to lieutenant general based on age alone. It was necessary to consider factors such as his position and whether he had outstanding achievements. The novel " The General's Promotion " is equally exciting.

In China, the promotion of lieutenant general was based on the officer's position, moral integrity, and contribution to national defense. From some examples, different periods had different situations. For example, from 1955 to 1965, the promotion of lieutenant generals was influenced by many factors. For example, after Nie Li was awarded the rank of major general in 1988, he was promoted to lieutenant general in 1993. Therefore, it was not easy to say whether it was easy or not to promote to lieutenant general. Instead, it had to be considered based on a variety of factors.

The promotion of military ranks was affected by many factors, making it difficult to advance to lieutenant general. In terms of position, soldiers needed to hold higher-level and important positions in the military, such as key leadership positions in major military regions or important arms. This required them to gradually accumulate leadership experience in their long-term military career, demonstrate excellent leadership skills, and constantly take on more responsibilities and achieve results in the corresponding positions. Military and professional skills were also key factors. This included a deep understanding and proficiency in military strategy and tactics, the ability to operate and command modern military equipment, and the ability to deal with various complex military missions and combat environments. For example, in modern warfare, one needed to master the relevant knowledge and skills of information warfare, and have the ability to command and coordinate multi-armed joint operations. Contribution was also an important consideration. Rich years of military service, participation in many military operations, and significant contributions would become the basis for promotion. For example, they could play a key role in major battles, propose innovative combat tactics and win, or make outstanding contributions to military construction and military scientific research. Different military branches or service divisions would also affect promotions. Each military unit had its own characteristics and mission requirements. In some special military units, due to the complexity, specialization, or strategic significance of their missions, they might face more special requirements and competition for promotion. In short, the promotion to lieutenant general required a soldier to have excellent qualities, abilities, and continuous contributions in many aspects. This process required a long period of experience and accumulation, so it was quite difficult. The novel " The General's Promotion " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

After the restoration of the military rank system in 1988, the conditions for promotion from lieutenant general to general changed over time. In the early days, the standard military rank of the Zhengda Military Region was general, and the auxiliary military rank was lieutenant general. There were cases of one position with two ranks. After the mid-1990s, there were two requirements for a military officer to be promoted to a general. One was to hold a military position for two years, and the other was to hold the rank of lieutenant general for four years. After the reform of the military rank system in 2019, the total number of active generals reached the highest number in history after some promotions. Judging from the qualifications of senior generals, many people broke the convention and were promoted in advance. There were also cases where they did not meet the original promotion conditions and were selected as generals, indicating that the military personnel system had changed. However, the conventional term of office and other conditions were still important reference factors to a certain extent. The novel " The General's Promotion " is equally exciting.

Lieutenant General and Major General were both general ranks. In the history of the development of the military rank system in China, the military rank system that was implemented in 1955 had four levels of generals, namely general, general, lieutenant general, and major general. By the time the military rank system was abolished in 1965, the People's Liberation Army had awarded a total of 1360 major generals. After the military rank system was restored in 1988, the rank of general became first-class general, general, lieutenant general, and major general. In 1994, the rank of first-class general was abolished, and the rank of lieutenant general became the highest rank. In 2021, the new officer system was adjusted to "third-class ten-rank", and major general was the third rank of general officers. Military ranks reflected the ranks of soldiers. In different historical periods, lieutenant generals and major generals had their own positions in the military command and subordinate relationship system. They were also related to the position, achievements, or military achievements of soldiers. Different military ranks reflected different honors, status, and treatment. It was of great significance to clarify the relationship between soldiers, promote military management, and stimulate the fighting spirit of soldiers.

Different people would be promoted from major general to lieutenant general at different times. For example, Xu Xiaoyan took 11 years to rise from major general to lieutenant general, and Xu Lili was awarded the rank of major general in 1998 and promoted to lieutenant general in 2010, with a gap of 12 years. Therefore, there was no fixed age limit for a major general to be promoted to a lieutenant general. It depended on individual performance, qualifications, opportunities, and many other factors.

Before the year 2000, the rank of lieutenant general in the Zhengda Military Region was mainly based on the position and military service as the main evaluation criteria. After 2000, there were basic requirements for promotion to the rank of general in the Zhengda Military Region, which was to serve in the Zhengda Military Region for two years and be promoted to the rank of lieutenant general for four years. However, if a lieutenant general was suddenly promoted to the leadership position of the Central Military Committee, his rank would be immediately promoted to general, regardless of the quota and other conditions. Before the military reform, the Chief of Staff of the General Staff Department and the Director of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, if they were lieutenant generals, would naturally be promoted to general when they held these two military positions.

There were different requirements to be promoted to lieutenant general at different times. Before the military reform, promotion to lieutenant general required one to work in the deputy military region for more than one year. In 1955, the selection criteria for lieutenant generals were as follows: commanders who served as regimental-level cadres during the Red Army period, commanders who served as regimental-level cadres during the Anti-Japanese War, and served as main divisions in the later 40 years of the war (the specifics were determined by various complicated situations at that time). At present, there was no information on the latest general requirements for promotion to lieutenant general. It might also involve various factors such as management ability in the military, military achievements, and special positions. The novel "The General's Promotion" is equally exciting.
