Zhu Mingxia lit the cigarette and took a deep breath: "Commander, at least in the first month, the fleet in Xijiang and Beijiang must lose command, otherwise it will be very difficult."
Xi Yazhou waved his hand: "I'll fight for it. So what, after I finish smoking, I'll go back to the army to prepare. Zhang Bolin, you stay here for a while."
In the conference room, the conversation between Xi Yazhou and Zhang Bolin continued.
"Berlin, this time we ask your artillery leaders to come out to strengthen the staff work of the entire army. What do you think?" Xi Yazhou changed his stern face just now and acted in a persuasive manner.
Judging from the factional relationship of the army, the old-style generals headed by He Ming undoubtedly occupy the mainstream position. From He Ming's long-term leadership position in the army to the main military officers who are all former imperial guards, it can be expanded to say , who have always controlled the elite of the General Investigation Bureau in the northern latitude, it can be seen that no matter the previous executive committee or the Senate, psychologically they still value the professional qualifications before traveling more. In this regard, Mr. Wen's tendency to despise the Young Officers Club as a "hard party playing with firesticks" was extreme, but it was indeed a common view within the Senate.
However, after all, the Senate still aims at the world. It only relies on more than a dozen people in the military group to command and control the increasingly large army and navy. After all, it is still insufficient, so it needs to cultivate military talents from the "soy sauce veterans". Since we are talking about "soy sauce veterans", the young officers who joined the army early are a group of people who have to be used. In terms of qualifications, the young officers have been actively participating in the army and navy work since before the Chengmai Battle. There is no reason to let the pure soy sauce people who were recruited into the army after the Chengmai War ride on the young officers. Moreover, they are proud of their pre-time travel qualifications. Since the former Forbidden Army officers looked down on young officers, how could they look down on pure soy sauce who even served as a military official half-heartedly? In this way, the strength of young officers is actually gradually expanding.
With the continuous expansion of the army and the accumulation of seniority, these "young officers" have gradually been promoted to important positions. Some hold important positions in army agencies and branches, and some have become battalion-level commanders. This is a force that the Executive Committee and the top military leaders have to pay attention to.
This is true in terms of personnel. On the other hand, on the political level, the Executive Committee has actively strengthened the influence of "civilians" on the entire military from the very beginning. Strictly speaking, a certain member of the executive committee who has held important positions can be regarded as the founder of Fubo Army. He took the lead in developing the tractor training method. The victory telegram of the Chengmai Battle was inscribed with three names, which fully reflects the Executive Committee's considerations in military personnel. Strictly speaking, one of the important reasons for the serious lag in the army's staff work is that the army's first staff officer, who was in charge of the regular work of the former general staff, did not even have a military membership. Moreover, the foundation of this army's number one strategist is not without discussion.
Therefore, in the formation stage of the South China Army, the chief of staff of the General Army can be concurrently served by the Army Commander. Anyway, in the campaign planning stage, the General Army is just a coordination agency, and communication conditions do not allow the General Army to interfere in the tactical command of the three directions in detail. But when it comes to the three brigades specifically, if a formal staff department is not established, even daily work will have problems. Well, for the Senate, which pursues the great, glorious and correct version of the twentieth century in all fields, building an army without building a staff is simply an intolerable retrogression.
In order to establish a staff department, at least the brigade staff department should be improved. It cannot be achieved by relying on a group of naturalized civilian officers who have not even graduated from elementary school. The General Staff held a meeting to "make things out of nothing" all night, and finally resorted to "demolishing" The "East Wall Mends the West Wall" method is to fill the veteran officers of various professional services and arms headquarters into the brigade headquarters of each mixed brigade, and also conduct a short-term staff training, which is like a three-pointer, and it can be regarded as building up a staff team. .
In this battle, artillery was mainly allocated to each brigade in company units. Battalion-level headquarters was considered unnecessary, so all veteran officers from the artillery headquarters to the artillery battalion were transformed into staff officers at all levels.
Of course, Brigadier Zhu of the First Brigade had both military and political skills and was highly trusted, so the Chief of Staff of the First Brigade also served as the brigade chief. The reason why Brigadier You of the Second Brigade became the brigade commander was all because of his ruthlessness and zero military education, so Ying Yu, a professional artilleryman, was appointed as Chief of Staff to help; Brigadier Fu of the Third Brigade After serving in the army and serving in government agencies, his overall qualifications in the army were unmatched, so he sent Zhang Bolin, who had been the captain of the Army Artillery Training Corps, over to continue his studies.
"I don't have any ideas," Zhang Bolin said, "Soldiers must obey orders as their bounden duty..."
"Okay, don't talk to me about all this nonsense." Xi Yazhou laughed, "The officer in charge of the military service is inappropriate, and he was transferred to be the chief of staff of the brigade without real power. How can you not have any thoughts in your heart?"
After all, Zhang Bolin was young and could not withstand Xi Yazhou's provocation. He blushed and said, "As for the transfer, I really don't have any opinions. I also know the difficulties over there at the east gate: veteran officers are like this A few people can only be transferred here and there. I just care about the Executive Committee - the Government Affairs Council..." At this point, he was a little confused. In the past, he could just call the "shit Executive Committee". The third time After the plenum, the political structure was drastically changed. He was a bit confused about which "b*tch" to scold, "...in short, they are treating our army like a deer!"
Xi Yazhou didn't speak, just handed him a cigarette.
Zhang Bolin lit his cigar, took a puff, and muttered out all his dissatisfaction over the past few years.
In fact, his dissatisfaction can also be said to be the dissatisfaction of the "young officers" of the army. As for the officers of the Old Style Sect, even if they have dissatisfaction, they will not say it publicly, let alone gather together to say it. They are more accustomed to "blaming" the elders who are closer to them among the upper-level leaders.
"Young officers" don't have so many taboos. They use "Executive Committee" in almost every internal gathering. Although the Executive Committee no longer exists, it is still the "Young Officers" "The "evil dragon" in my mind.
Since the victory of the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign, the Fubo Army took advantage of the victory to pursue the Pearl River Delta Operation that reached the city walls of Guangzhou, and then carried out several sub-level large-scale operations in the subsequent Engine Operation, such as Operation Shandong Economic Strategy, Operation Jeju Island Strategy, Operation Overlord... …They all have a common characteristic: Army forces actively participate in combat operations, but play a subordinate role. The battle in the Pearl River Delta was basically fought by the navy. Although the small units that went deep into the inland had army personnel, their backbone was the navy. From a management point of view, the Shandong Economic Strategy and the Jeju Island Strategy were based on the standard of using culture to control military force. . Lu Wenyuan and Feng Zongze were both appointed by the Executive Committee to serve as frontline commanders. The difference is that Feng Zongze is more under the jurisdiction of the Civil Affairs Committee, while Lu Wenyuan's superiors are also the Foreign Intelligence Bureau and the Ministry of Colonization and Trade. Operation Overlord is a purely military operation, and General Ming Qiuhai is fully responsible for the on-site command of the entire Operation Overlord.
So for the Army, it will either do the dirty work for civilian officials like Zhu Mingxia and Nangong Wudi, or it will be ordered around by the Navy under the big hat of amphibious warfare and can only be used as a reception team and maintenance team. A rag picker who cleans the battlefield. What is particularly intolerable is that the navy, created with the connivance of the big shots in the Senate, has more advanced equipment than the army and does the work of the army, but it is still the navy!
If you think about it carefully, the emergence of the Navy is actually a coincidence. This is a tacit theory of army building within the Executive Committee. The content of this theory is: based on the huge threat of the army to the regime, the army must be weakened as much as possible. . The establishment of the Navy will functionally decentralize the organization of the Army and weaken the Army's strength. It is a direct manifestation of this theory. The navy is also small, so we set up a coast guard to take away the coastal security rights. In the name of "streamlining the organization" and "improving efficiency," all logistics units were separated and established as a separate joint logistics headquarters that was not under the leadership of the army and navy. The concept of divide and conquer was very obvious.
Zhang Bolin became more and more angry as he talked. He started gesticulating while holding a cigarette:
"...Is the Marine Corps a separate special case? So what is the National Army? What is the Security Army? What is the White Horse Corps? What happened to those rural warriors created by the owner of Luzhuang? In all direct combat missions of the Army, the upper level Always allow local elders to come up with some nonsense to pretend to be someone else.
"I would rather trust a group of Japanese mercenaries than add half-equipped or even cold-weapons detachments to the army.
"It is clear that the army was sleeping rough in Hainan Island to carry out the suppression campaign, and finally hired the National Army to pick peaches, and also sent special reconnaissance teams to take the credit for the tactical guidance of the bandit suppression, and let the army take the blame for poor command that led to the annihilation of the entire army. If The army was in charge at the beginning, rather than being dispatched by the Civil Affairs Commission. The county magistrate was talking nonsense, so how could the entire army be annihilated!
"When our army gets a pair of chopsticks, we ask grandpa to sue grandma. A liaison officer sent by the Foreign Intelligence Agency can openly use the Senate's money to raise a group of thugs! What will happen in the end? We don't have to have a special reconnaissance team to help clean up the situation. ?
"Obviously the army was fighting bravely in Shandong despite being hungry and cold. They fought in Laizhou, but they still sent an abacus to ride on the army's head and serve as the former enemy commander. In the end, the abacus started to shake like a dog. In the Xiamen operation, he actually acted as a combat officer! After earning enough merits, he went back to use his professional skills and abacus!"
"The originator of this theory is the special reconnaissance team at the beginning of the founding of the army! If the plate is not big enough now, monsters like the tax police headquarters will be released!"
Zhang Bolin said angrily: "If we continue to follow this theory of the Senate, the people who will conquer the world for the Senate will be all kinds of rural warriors, security forces, and white horse teams...
