一1989年11月9日,江泽民当选中央军委主席,他在就职讲话中非常直率,并没有掩盖其军事经验的匮乏。“我在四中全会说过,选举我当中央总书记,没有思想准备。这次决定我当中央军委主席,也没有思想准备。没有做过军事工作,没有这方面的经验,深感责任重大、力不从心。党把这副重担交给我,我一定努力学习军事事务,尽快熟悉军队情况,认真地、积极地履行职责。” On November 9, 1989, Jiang was elected chairman of the Central Military Commission. He was very forthright in his inauguration speech and did not hide his lack of military experience. “I said in the Fourth Plenary Session that I did not have the ideological preparation for the election of the Central Party General Secretary, and I have no thought of preparing myself for the chairmanship of the Central Military Commission. I have not had any military work or experience in this field and are deeply responsible If the party hands over this heavy burden to me, I will try my best to study military affairs, be familiar with the military as soon as possible, and earnestly and actively perform my duties. ”
