Chapter 135 Three-level system

Of course, Chen Kefu was not a joke. Seeing that the Sui Dynasty had not had a few good years, he certainly had to make plans early. Now he has 80,000 soldiers, which has reached a limit. He cannot increase the number of people anymore. Moreover, with the current situation, no matter how many people increase, it is useless.

After all, the army is not a simple math problem, and the bigger the number, the more powerful it is.

Since the number of people cannot increase, only the army's combat effectiveness will be enhanced. For the current Liaodong Army, the biggest weakness is that there are too many new recruits. As long as they can persist, they can temper a group of high-quality soldiers through war and future time. However, another weakness cannot be solved by time and war.

That is the issue of officers in the Northeast Army today, especially the issue of lower-level officers. After thinking about it, Chen Kefu felt that he could only use new methods to conduct systematic training, hoping to train a large number of grassroots officers in a short period of time. Moreover, through the training of military academy, he could also input some ideas that were loyal to him to these officers, and strive to cultivate a group of grassroots officers who were loyal to him, Chen Kefu.

As for Mr. Li Benlei, he felt that he was not training future squad leader for the army, but training imperial examinations, and he just smiled. Since he came to do it, then do it well. If the non-commissioned officers trained according to his plan passed the test of war in the war, then these people will definitely be competent for higher-level positions, and will even continue to grow and become an important support for him.

Moreover, a large number of educated officers can also be converted into local administrative officials when needed. For him, who has made up his mind to compete for the world, this is also to train reserve officials for him in the future.

"Old man, think about it, if in the future, a large number of young non-commissioned officers with education, ideals, more patriotic, and not many stubborn soldiers and gangsters join the army and serve as the grassroots non-commissioned officer. These people are not afraid of death and are more brave, why do we still refuse such a plan?"

"If you can really do what you said, why should I say no?" Li Benlei smiled and refused to comment. Since it is just a discussion now, there is no need for him to argue with something still on paper.

For Chen Kefu, this non-commissioned officer martial arts lecture hall is only part of his future officer plan.

"Old man, the non-commissioned officer school is the foundation of our army's future, but this is a long-term plan, so we can put it to the end. And my short-term plan also has it. I plan to set up an officer teaching company in each regiment in the army, the division has an officer teaching group, and the headquarters has an officer teaching brigade. Taking the teaching company as an example, a certain number of excellent squad platoon leaders are drawn as teachers in the regiment, and then a few squad platoons are set up to train non-commissioned officers and squad leaders."

"That is to say, those who enter the training team are basically all veterans who have been tested and promoted to the rank of non-commissioned officers, including the current squad leaders of each squad. During the war, some of these non-commissioned officers trained in the teaching team are enriched to the grassroots combat troops, and some are directly commanded by the regiment headquarters. They usually act as sharp knives or reserve teams in the most critical battles. Such reserve teams are all composed of non-commissioned officers, and their combat effectiveness will inevitably be the strongest. This can solve the problem of too many new recruits in our army and there is no need to focus on strong combat effectiveness troops."

"The teaching force is different from the non-commissioned military lecture hall. The trained non-commissioned officers are still soldiers. They still have to rush forward during the battle, but these people are learning with the army. However, when it is absolutely necessary, these trainees cannot send them to a dangerous battlefield. Even if the other battalions of a regiment are exhausted, as long as the teaching company is still there, the force will not be destroyed. On the other hand, once the teaching company is exhausted, the force will probably be left with an empty shell, because their backbone is broken."

The old man nodded. Chen Kefu's method can be said to be really good. He can train non-commissioned officers and will not reduce the combat effectiveness of the troops. Moreover, there is such a teaching team composed entirely of non-commissioned officers. When it is critical, the role it can play is also very important."

"You have a good idea. There are at least three non-commissioned officers in a class. If you only draw one at a time of rotation training, it is not a big problem. I think it's OK. Then, are the teachers in the next teaching group and the next teaching team like this?"

"Each division has a teaching regiment, and the current deputy platoon leader and platoon leader in the special rotation trainer of the teaching regiment is also implemented. The teaching regiment also implements a rotation training system, that is, three months are used as a period, and the deputy platoon leader and platoon leader in each subordinate department are selected in turn. Experienced lieutenant-level officers are drawn from the army as instructors, and the teaching regiment has three student battalions, with the students serving as platoon leader at all levels, and the best-quality soldiers are drawn from the entire division, with the number of people still 2,000 people per regiment. In wartime, this regiment will become the strongest reserve regiment in the entire division."

"In the military headquarters, we will establish a teaching brigade. The task of the teaching brigade is to train the deputy company commander and company commander in the entire Northeast Army. The teaching brigade will specially draw experienced captains and major-level officers from the army as instructors to train all active deputy company commanders and company commanders in the army. The teaching brigade has two regiments and eight battalions under its jurisdiction, with a total number of 5,000. In addition to the company commanders at all levels, soldiers with high quality will also be drawn from the entire Northeast Army to transfer to the teaching brigade. All the trained deputy company commanders and company commanders serve as company platoon-level chief officers of the teaching brigade. In wartime, they will serve as the general reserve team of the entire army!"

"The platoon leader of the rotation company is generally 13 months, and the squad leader is generally 46 months. The training content mainly involves tactics, riding and shooting, and cultural knowledge. The students are required to have a good tactical level, combat ability and ability to organize, command, train and manage the troops after training. In the long run, this can strengthen the abilities of the lower-level officers of the entire army. In the short term, it can also solve the problem that although our entire Northeast Army has a large number of troops, but has a serious decline in combat effectiveness due to too many new recruits."

The old man thought for a long time and felt that although this matter sounded very fresh, he thought about it carefully and did not find any unreliable things. He nodded and said, "Anyway, the newly added are only a few numbers, and the personnel are all drawn from each army, and the number of troops has not increased. I agree with your plan. However, the troops will rush to the Liaoshui battlefield tomorrow. I think not to announce this plan first. Let's wait until this ambush is over. What do you think?"

Chen Kefu smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem with this. I just want to ask for your opinions first. Since you have agreed, I will make a detailed plan at that time. When the ambush is over, I will put forward the entire plan in the headquarters military parliament. Then I will listen to everyone's opinions and improve the entire plan."

The old man listened quietly and saw that although Chen Kefu now has completely controlled the entire Northeast Army, he often does not act arbitrary, but often takes it out at meetings to discuss it together. He was also very happy. Looking at Chen Kefu's eyes, he was even more full of deep concern.

For this young boss, the old man would unconsciously regard him as his grandson who had already died.

Feeling the concern in the old man's eyes, a warm current flowed through Chen Kefu's heart. Although he has won again and again in Liaodong, and has been promoted again and again in a short period of time. Now he is already a major official in the court who has a much higher position than Mr. Li Benlei, facing the old man, he can still see from the other party's eyes that many times the old man does not regard him as a boss.

Most of the time, the old man still regarded him as the half-understanding general who was half-understood when he first built the military camp, and half-hard-hearted.

"Pojun, old man, I know your extraordinaryness. You are different from Qiu Ba like me. You are destined to achieve extraordinary achievements. Since you were ordered to form the Pojun camp, I have watched you walk through the way. The swords, mountains, guns and forests in Liaodong are bloody and storms, and you are becoming more and more mature along the way. Especially now, many things are something that I, the old man, will never think of. I can no longer teach you anything. Now your opinion has long been farther and more meaningful than me. But I still want to say that you are young and the road ahead is still long. No matter what, as long as you can still use my old bones in the future, you can just say that as long as I can help, I will definitely support you."

Chen Kefu smiled slightly, "In my eyes, you will always be the old man who taught me when I first built the Pojun Camp. Not only have you always been my best right-hand man, but you are often more like my relatives, like my relatives in Chenjiazhuang, Zhuo County. We will never need to be so polite. If there is any trouble, I will definitely be the first to ask you for help."

"Pojun, will the Pojun martial arts lecture hall not be held? I think this martial arts lecture hall is still very useful to the newly appointed officers in the army."

"We must continue to do it. We plan to set up a teaching company, teaching team, and teaching brigade in the army to speed up the training of existing squads, platoons, and company-level officers, and to enable each department to have an elite reserve team."

"But the martial arts lecture hall is different. The martial arts lecture hall is specially used to train middle and upper-level officers. I plan to open battalion-level officer training classes, regiment-level officer training classes, and general training classes above the brigade commander when not fighting. Like the non-commissioned officer martial arts lecture hall, our Pojun martial arts lecture hall will train all active middle and upper-level officers in the army in two stages, in a graded manner, to enhance their tactical level, combat ability, and ability to organize, command, train, and manage the troops. It also saves these guys from causing trouble for me whenever they have free time."
