Chapter 134 The real enemy
.Chapter 134 The Real Enemy
Huang Zhibo is a very thoughtful and visionary person.
After all the Volunteer Army Command was transferred to Shinyiju, he threw the combat command work to the staff and personally took charge of a matter that others thought was not very important: reorganizing the command system.
Affected by historical factors and actual situations, when the Volunteer Army was first established, it copied the team's command system.
The problem is here.
As an army that relies on rifles to conquer the world, it has always pursued a local defense strategy since its founding. The team was deeply influenced by "continental armyism". Among the 2.2 million regular troops, the 6th Army accounted for nearly 70%, and the Navy, Air Force and Second Artillery were not as large as the 6th Army. If more than one million reserve troops were included, the 6th Army accounted for a larger proportion. Although the proportion of the 6th Army decreased in military expenditure allocation, the 6th Army played a decisive role in the strategic direction of the army, and the navy, Air Force and Second Artillery were in a subordinate position.
Even in personnel matters, the 6th Army's "overlord" status is very obvious.
The team has more than 1,400 active generals, and the 6th Army has more than 1,200 people, covering almost all non-combat departments.
The question is, can we win the future war by relying solely on the 6th Army?
Regardless of the answer, several local wars over the past twenty years have proved that the 6th Army is very important, but it has lost the ability to dominate the war.
To think about changing the "Continental Army Thought", it is obviously not realistic, but we cannot give up reform because of this.
If the team wants to defend their territory, defend their citizens, protect their compatriots distributed around the world, and national interests throughout the world, they must become a military force that attaches equal importance to both sea and air.
The most active promoters of military reform are definitely the Navy and Air Force generals.
However, due to other factors, the efforts of the Navy and the Air Force have achieved little success. Although the construction of the Navy and the Air Force in the past decade has been far greater than that of the 6th Army, and almost all the eye-catching new equipment belongs to the Navy and the Air Force, the 6th Army still holds absolute dominance in some crucial areas, such as the actual control of the army, personnel appointments and removals, and the composition structure of the high-level command organization.
Not to mention anything else, in the team, the combat troops of the Air Force belong to major military regions, and the military region is directly controlled by the 6th Army.
Although the Navy's situation was slightly better, and the three major fleets were not affiliated with the military region, but were independent combat systems, they still had to rely on the 6th Army in terms of logistics support, base construction, etc.
In the three most important headquarters, namely the General Staff, the General Equipment Department and the General Logistics Department, the generals of the 6th Army were still the leaders.
To promote reform, we have to rely on the generals of the 6th Army, and the generals of the 6th Army who hold real power.
In the past ten years, many generals of the 6th Army have made attempts, but no results have been achieved. The reasons are no different. These generals are regarded as "traitors" without exception and are excluded in the army. Without the support of the 6th Army Group, even the capable generals will not have a good ending.
In a sense, Huang Zhibo is a "traitor" in the 6th Army.
When he was the chief of staff of the Nanjing Military Region, Huang Zhibo actively promoted military reforms, advocated establishing a combat system that equals six airspace, and appointed a large number of talented air force officers, even leaving some important positions to the air force generals, improving the status of the air force.
But he didn't do it thoroughly enough.
It’s not that he dares not do it, but that he has no chance.
You should know that the 6 Fenglie who has always supported him are all "continental military players". 6 Fenglie supports him not because he wants to improve the status of the air force, but because the Nanjing Military Region undertakes the strategic responsibility of threatening the Taiwan Strait. In the direction of the Taiwan Strait, the value of the air force is obviously beyond that of the 6th Army.
In the eyes of the 6th Feng Lie generation soldiers, the Air Force is still a vassal of the 6th Army.
After becoming the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army and taking the power to command the Volunteer Army, Huang Zhibo got the opportunity to start comprehensively implementing military reforms.
Joint combat in the Volunteer Army is obviously much easier to carry out reforms in the military headquarters, which is deeply rooted in traditional ideas.
It is not difficult to understand why Huang Zhibo was aggressive on some crucial issues, making the two deputy commanders a decoration.
It’s not that Huang Zhibo doesn’t want to hear objections, but that he doesn’t want to have a negative impact on objections.
Huang Zhibo was very open-minded in personnel appointments.
In addition to seldom interfering in tactical command and boldly delegating command to staff, Huang Zhibo also abandoned his views and promoted and appointed a large number of young and promising intermediate officers. Among them were Yang Yufang, Zhou Yusheng, Mu Haoyang, Mu Qi Tie and Qi Kaiwei.
Although they come from different troops and are influenced by different tactical ideas, they have great differences in combat operations, but in their respective positions, they can all get sufficient opportunities to express themselves, and they use their actions to prove that they are not just empty talkers who can only talk about theory, but doers who focus on actions.
After more than a month, these young officers proved their abilities with their actions.
Now, what Huang Zhibo has to do is to gather them together and form a staff team that is much larger but can make correct decisions on major issues.
Huang Zhibo asked Mu Haoyang and the others to go there, just to arrange a new position for them.
However, doing this obviously put your hand into Liao Wengang and Xu Pengtao's pockets, which is equivalent to poaching others' crooked.
None of the staff officers were fools. When they met others at Huang Zhibo, they all understood that the commander-in-chief wanted to abandon the two deputy commanders and make a decision alone.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Mu Haoyang couldn't explain it clearly, and others couldn't explain it clearly.
If it is in peacetime, this is definitely not a good thing, because it is equivalent to handing over all power to one person and making the army an army. Even in wartime, it is not necessarily a good thing, because the commander-in-chief monopolizing power is equivalent to betting on one person. If the commander-in-chief has extraordinary vision and knows war more than anyone else, then he will become the soul of the army and become the core of leading the army to victory. But if he is a mediocre commander, he can send an invincible army into the cemetery.
There are countless examples of this in history.
Is Huang Zhibo the kind of commander with extraordinary vision?
Others can doubt it, but Mu Haoyang and several other staff members cannot doubt it.
From the standpoint of the staff, when they walked into Huang Zhibo's office and directly served the commander-in-chief, they chose the camp. Although in a sense, they were forced to choose the camp, or even stood in the team without knowing it, they could not turn back on this road. Even if they chose the camp again, they would not be trusted by others. From this moment on, their fate was bound to Huang Zhibo.
Doing doubts about Huang Zhibo's ability is equivalent to doubting the final victory.
After winning, everyone is a hero.
If you lose, Huang Zhibo will definitely not be the first to be unlucky.
After thinking it through, Mu Haoyang and others were not in a high mood. Although no one could say it, several staff officers felt that they had no right to choose in Huang Zhibo's palm.
"Why, aren't you hungry?" Huang Zhibo was not in a bad mood at all, but was a little proud. "This was sent by someone specifically from China. The lychees were air-carred from Guangdong. The bayberry was only down from the tree yesterday. This pike was found in Kanas Lake, Xinjiang. It was definitely fresh."
Food is ahead, but a few advisers don’t have much appetite.
"If you are not hungry, drink some bar." Huang Zhibo smiled and picked up the wine in the ice bucket. "There are few soldiers who are not allowed to drink it. It's morning now, so you will definitely not get drunk if you drink less."
The commander-in-chief raised the bottle, and several staff officers had to pick up the cup.
"You must be blaming me, right?" Huang Zhibo poured wine to the staff officer one by one and said, "If you complain, you will blame me. Except for Qi Kaiwei, if you don't complain, it would be strange."
Now, several non-6th Army officers became even more embarrassed.
"I have to admit that this time it was indeed a bit too much, making it difficult for you to face your previous boss." Huang Zhibo put down the bottle of wine. "But you must know that there is a reason for me to do this. Do you know why after more than a month of fighting, I still refuse to let the ground troops participate in the war?"
Several staff officers were shocked and looked at Huang Zhibo.
"Our biggest enemy is not the US-South Korea alliance, but ourselves." Huang Zhibo knocked on the table, as if this was his habitual action when mentioning important things. "If we can have half of our ancestors, even a quarter of the courage and courage, there will be no suspense in this war, and the United States will not even dare to provoke the war easily. More than 30 years of peace construction have created rich material wealth for us, greatly improved our country's economic situation, and allowed most ordinary people to live a good life, but peace is the poison of the army. After wading on the big bed of peace for a long time, no matter how strong a giant is, he will become a fat man, losing his heroic spirit and fighting spirit that is higher than the sky."
Huang Zhibo started the topic and the atmosphere eased a little.
"Paton said that only in war can the value of soldiers be reflected. Although the army is guarding peace, only when the army thinks of war can we keep precious peace. Unfortunately, over the years, our army has forgotten the war, let alone always think of war." Huang Zhibo breathed a sigh of relief, lit a cigarette, and said, "I have read the information of you several. Except for your mother, Colonel Qi Tie, you four are from grassroots troops, at least serving in grassroots troops.
After a few years, you should be very clear about the current situation of the army. Qi Kaiwei, were you doing a relationship with your son before signing up? Yang Yufang, your mother has Parkinson's syndrome and lives in a nursing home, right? Zhou Yusheng, did your brother ask you to help him find relationships and want to work as a civil servant in the local government? And Mu Haoyang, have you considered the marriage? Buying a house is not a problem now. With your allowance, I am afraid that you will not eat or drink for twenty years before you can pay off the loan."
Several staff officers were shocked. Could it be that Huang Zhibo was engaged in intelligence before becoming a general?
"How much energy do you have to think about war when you are thinking about these things and worrying about them?"
