"It's a pity that he couldn't make it in time for the restructuring ceremony this time. [No pop-up novel website]" Thorpe said.
"It's not necessarily that we can't catch up." Dongmen Chuiyu said, suddenly realizing that his words were a bit rash, he stopped talking.
Several people seemed not to have heard this. He Ming pointed to the document in front of him and said to Thorpe: "The memorandum you wrote about the mobilization system is very good and thorough. We are all satisfied. As you wrote in the memo: In addition to materials and storage and transportation, the reserve force Mobilizing the utilization of these human resources is the top priority! Many people only focus on those supplies, but never thought that our utilization of human resources is so low." He looked down at the chart in his hand and continued: "The population of the entire Hainan under our control is about to reach 300,000 to 400,000, while the population we can directly control is only more than 100,000. Even in a core area like Lingao, in addition to the various immigrant villages under our own communes, , among the indigenous villages, only those villages in Yanchang Village and Shiba Village area where we control the village administration have direct militiamen. The other militiamen are clan soldiers like Huangjiazhai who are semi-free from our control. Let’s not say whether they are Reliable, combat skills alone are of little value to us. Only a part of the direct-controlled militia has combat experience. In the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in Chengmai, we could only dispatch 5 army battalions and 1 naval battalion. Except for the navy, there is no There are other strategic reserves - this is very dangerous. The industrial and agricultural departments regard their workers as treasures, and no one is willing to use them for active service until the moment of crisis. Therefore, the top priority is to mobilize and coordinate human resources and establish a Complete the reserve and militia systems, and establish local garrison forces as soon as possible to liberate the field army from daily defense and lay the foundation for the next step of military expansion."
"Also, the resource mobilization system for newly occupied areas must be implemented in the future. The reasonable burden for newly occupied areas is too rough now, and it is not conducive to mobilizing large amounts of materials." Chen Haiyang added, while handing Thorpe a document , "This is the approval from the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command for you to establish a strategic reserve of grain and fodder. Find time to work with comrades from the Planning Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Colonial Trade to make a plan and implement it immediately."
On April 30, a joint meeting of the Fubo Army was held in the Maziaobao Army Auditorium. In front of the auditorium hung the army and navy flags of the Fubo Army: the official name was the Star Fist Red Flag, but everyone referred to it as: Iron Fist Exploding Chrysanthemum Hemorrhage flag. The double-headed eagle emblem of the Fubo Army. The auditorium was packed with people. In addition to the Fubo army, navy and army officers, there were also a large number of personnel from the industrial group. However, there were relatively few elders, and most of them were technical backbones among the naturalized civilians. The executive committee plans to let naturalized technical personnel serve as the main force this time, and the elders will only be responsible for supervision and guidance.
Dongmen Chuiyu sat on the rostrum and looked down. The officers who were naturalized civilians were all sitting very upright, and their leather armed belts creaked. The elders were a little casual, whispering to each other.
"Comrades, People's Commissar of the Navy, Rear Admiral Chen Haiyang, People's Commissar of the Army, Rear Admiral He Ming. Comrade Dongmen Chuiyu, Permanent Secretary of the General Staff." A serious-looking young Army lieutenant walked out of the door on the other side of the auditorium. Come in, speak loudly, then turn and stand at attention to salute. Chen Haiyang, He Ming and Dongmen Chuiyu walked in quickly, and the officers and technicians quickly stood up and saluted.
"Please take a seat, comrades." Chen Haiyang sat down in the middle of the podium and waved everyone to sit down. Dongmen Chuiyu sat on his left as secretary of the General Staff, while He Ming sat on his right.
Dongmen Chuiyu waited for the auditorium to quiet down. He first stood up to greet Chen Haiyang and He Ming, and then said: "We are starting the meeting now. The meeting memorandum has been sent to everyone. Please open it."
There was nothing new in the meeting. The officers and technicians present have more or less learned enough confidential content. Today's meeting is mainly for briefings, and more importantly, changes in establishment and departments.
"First, with the approval of the Executive Committee, the Director-General of Military Affairs made the following cuts: the original Logistics Command was abolished and a Joint Logistics Headquarters was established to be responsible for the procurement, transportation, storage, and security of logistics supplies and equipment for the navy and army." Dongmen Chuiyu After everyone opens the file, read the file aloud.
"The instruction is as follows: Starting from May 1, 1631, the joint logistics headquarters is responsible for the allocation of materials for all troops of the Fubo Army. The main transportation vehicles and logistics supply units in the army are under the dual command of its directly affiliated troops and the joint logistics headquarters. Theater All civilian and colonial trade transport vehicles requisitioned within the territory will automatically be placed under the command of the Joint Logistics Headquarters."
This new team has made great progress compared to the past operation method of two veterans of the Logistics Command and several staff officers. The first thing is to improve the organization.
The so-called improvement of the organization means the expansion of staffing. The new version of the Joint Logistics Headquarters has four bureaus because the army is now smaller and there are not enough senior officers. It seemed inappropriate to let a group of lieutenants and captains occupy positions equivalent to the directors of the bureaus under the four headquarters, so we decided to just call them groups for the time being.
Personnel and Materials Group (Bureau: Responsible for the mobilization, distribution, and deployment of reserve personnel and various materials, and coordinating public relief matters with the civil affairs department.
Materials and Equipment Procurement Group (Bureau: Responsible for the design, production, inspection, procurement, and warehousing of equipment and materials; and responsible for jointly handling the requisition, procurement, and seizure of private materials with the civil affairs department.
Sea and Land Transport Group (Bureau: Responsible for the design, production, inspection, and procurement of logistics transport vehicles; taking over and coordinating the use of naval and army transport vehicles; responsible for requisitioning civilian and colonial trade transport vehicles in theaters (including civilians), and responsible for transportation routes and cargo processes planning and management.
Logistics Internal Security Group (Bureau: Responsible for the internal security of logistics, storage, and transportation. In wartime, with the consent of the Joint Operations Command, combat troops can be directly deployed."
After the establishment was announced, there was a personnel appointment order as usual: "With the approval of the Executive Committee and the Organization Department, Major Hong Huangnan is appointed as the director of the Joint Logistics Headquarters! Major Thorpe is appointed as the deputy director of the Joint Logistics Headquarters."
Amid warm applause, Thorpe took over the agency flag, letter of appointment and the army chief's sword from Chen Haiyang. Since Hong Huangnan is not here, his outfit has been replaced by Thorpe.
"Work hard, and you will be the steward of our Fubo Army from now on." Chen Haiyang patted Thorpe on the shoulder and said, "Plans are important, but execution is more important. We look forward to your performance."
Thorpe silently saluted Chen Haiyang and the several leaders of the ambush army on the podium, turned around and stood at attention to salute everyone in the auditorium, and there was another wave of applause.
"Second, with the approval of the Executive Committee: the Fubo Army has established a reserve mobilization system as follows: The reserve mobilization system consists of three parts: the militia, the National Army (Army, and the Coast Guard (Navy). The militia is a mass armed organization that does not leave work, Under the command of the Senate and the Fubo Army, they are responsible for combat readiness services, defense operations, and assisting in maintaining social order. The militia is the main source of reserve force for the Fubo Army, the National Army, and the Coast Guard. The National Army and the Coast Guard are composed of The main responsibilities of the navy and army, which are composed of retired personnel of the Fubo Army, full-time personnel and semi-off-the-job personnel, are to undertake security defense and garrison work in the region, maintain social stability and participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief, under the command of the Senate and the Fubo Army. , the National Army and the Coast Guard are also the main sources of reserves for the Fubo Army. The Fubo Army can call the National Army and Coast Guard units to rotate in the theater to participate in operations, and the rotation period is 9 months."
The composition of the reserve force is also a focus of debate among the elders. Everyone has no objection to the establishment of a system consisting of a militia and a national army similar to the armed police + reserve force in the old time and space. However, many elders have requested the establishment of reserve armies of various professional arms. The reason is that the professional arms of artillery, engineers and other professional arms cannot be filled by ordinary reserve personnel. Opponents cited the example of the old time and space in World War II, when the German army was extremely short of manpower, while the navy and air force reserve forces were idle, and believed that the current human resources in Lingao could not support so many different establishments at the same time. The result of the final compromise was that the reserve army system was temporarily abolished, and each unit of the Fubo Army established its own support force (depot), while the composition of the National Army moved closer to the Fubo Army. Since the Navy was unwilling to share the name of the National Army with the Army, it also did not like it. Some kind of "Maritime National Army" was created, and finally it was decided to adopt the navy's national army as the "Coast Guard".
The Coast Guard is a branch of the military that has existed for a long time - but for a long time, the Coast Guard did not exist except for a brand name and a polished captain Gao Xiaosong. After this military restructuring, it will officially become an independent army.
The National Army and the Coast Guard are still respectively responsible for command and operational guidance by the Navy and the Army. But in the future, they will each become independent services.
"Third, the proposal for the standardization of transport containers and vehicles jointly proposed by the Joint Logistics Headquarters and the Ministry of Colonization and Trade has been approved by the Senate, the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command and will be implemented from now on. Please refer to the meeting memorandum for specific regulations. Part B of the Annex."
Although Wu Nanhai laughed at him and called it taking away people's jobs, Thorpe still insisted on his opinion and insisted on the standardization of packaging size and all space dimensions related to the circulation of goods to improve logistics and logistics efficiency. It involves all cargo packaging containers and vehicles, including the cargo space dimensions of railway wagons, trucks, ships, and even the design dimensions of warehouses and cargo stacking areas. All of a sudden, the veterans of the industrial group complained - this would mean that the existing specifications and drawings would have to be revised, and additional material consumption would be increased. ! .
