Tan Zhenlin counts, but Kang doesn't. Because although Kang has been leading the intelligence work for a long time in the Ministry of Social Affairs, he has no position in charge of military intelligence work in the army like Li Kenong.

Similar to Tan Zhenlin, there are Li Fuchun and Tao Zhu in the northeast, Li Xiannian and Zheng Weisan in the central plains, Wang Weizhou in the southwest and Feng Baiju in Hainan.

Of course, except Tan Zhenlin, Li Fuchun, Tao Zhu and Li Xiannian, no one else can be promoted to general.
