The 658th chapter South China Sea storm (3)
"Have you confirmed that the commander and deputy commander of the Nansha Base have been confirmed?" There is no problem with the military. Vice Chairman Liu also attaches great importance to the personnel arrangements of the Nansha Base. This is currently the military jurisdiction facing the greatest threat of war in China. It is isolated thousands of miles away. If there is no capable candidate, it will be difficult to watch the trillions of dollars invested into the South China Sea.
This candidate requires both strong military capabilities and certain international political sensitivity and diplomatic talents to be able to be at the forefront of Nansha, and use both soft and hard ground to intimidate the surrounding countries' snooping of Nansha.
Such a candidate is not a good choice in the army.
However, personnel work is not the General Staff's business. The military commission's current personnel leader is General Cao Zhiyuan, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission. He said, "Basically, the commander and political commissar have been determined. Colonel Zhang Zhiguang, the former captain of the USS Tianjin aircraft carrier, will serve as the first commander of the Nansha base and be promoted to the rank of major general. Zhang Zhiguang has rich experience in commanding sea and air forces. He once led the Tianjin aircraft carrier formation to Pakistan, effectively shocking the abnormal movements of the Indian navy in the Indian-Pakistan war, forcing the Indian navy to do nothing in the entire battle.
Before that, Zhang Zhiguang also led his team into the Somalia waters to escort, coordinated with the navies of many countries, had rich diplomatic experience, and was also strong in military affairs.
The political commissar is the former political commissar of the 9th Detachment of the Destroyer. Wang Weimin has many years of experience in managing and commanding our Chinese ASCHEN 052C/D class destroyer. In the future, the Nansha Base Destroyer will have at least two powerful 052D class nuclear-powered destroyers, just like the Diaoyutai Destroyer Detachment. With Wang Weimin as a veteran, I believe that the combat power of our army's main warship can be fully utilized.
The comrades of the Military Commission had no objection to the commander and political commissar, but they were still somewhat controversial about the current two candidates.”
"Oh, what are the opinions and suggestions of comrades?" Vice Chairman Liu asked a little strangely. The commander and political commissar had no objection to the two highlights of the commander and the political commissar. Instead, Cao Zhiyuan, the deputy commander and chief of staff, made the two secondary positions of the deputy commander and the chief of staff, unfair. This matter seems to be very difficult.
"That's right. Taiping Island in the Nansha Islands was originally defended by the Taiwan military. After the new Pacific Fleet was built, the Taiping Island Garrison was assigned to the South China Sea Fleet defense zone and upgraded to the regiment-level defense zone. Lu Duanming, the former senior colonel of the Taida Navy who had served as Taiping Island and was familiar with the Nansha waters. Lu Duanming once studied in the US Navy Academy, familiar with the combat thinking and main equipment of the US Navy, and was familiar with the local military information and the realities of the main opponents of several surrounding countries. He should have been the best candidate for the chief of staff. However, some comrades think that Colonel Lu is not familiar with our army enough and has great concerns." Vice Chairman Cao said.
Vice Chairman Liu frowned and immediately understood the crux of the problem. Nansha base was set up at the deputy army level and was located at a critical moment. The Chief of Staff is the No. 4 person in the base, but it is the core soul of the formulation of tactical plans. If there is any mistake in this regard, the consequences will be unimaginable. Some members of the Military Commission have concerns about Lu Duanming. To put it bluntly, they still lack trust in the military generals of Taiwan. Not only are they capable, but more likely to have off-site reasons such as a sense of belonging.
This incident has a great political impact on the integration of the three armies of Taiwan on the Navy, Army and Air into the PLA system. Compared with the integration of Taiwan on the sea, land and air into the Southeast Military Region and the Pacific Fleet, this incident is more likely to become a weather vane for Taiwanese military personnel to observe the use of personnel. After all, Lu Duanming is not only integrating from the Taiwan Navy into a new unfamiliar military structure, but also in a completely unfamiliar superior and subordinate relationship. If he can be reused and promoted, this will have a strong demonstration effect for generals at all levels of the Taiwan military, inspiring them to show themselves more in terms of military capabilities and gain a path to progress through their abilities rather than burying.
Therefore, if this matter is handled well, it will be a good demonstration effect.
Therefore, Vice Chairman Liu was very cautious when he heard this. After careful consideration, he finally made a decision. "We mainly use people to look at ability and reliability. We should try to downplay our background. If we are not familiar with the internal affairs, we can make up for it through the staff team. However, it is not easy to find someone who is familiar with the US Navy. I personally think that such a good seedling should be cultivated vigorously."
After Vice Chairman Liu clearly expressed his attitude, Vice Chairman Cao also said with deep emotion: "I have such a consideration. In the future, our army's main opponents will be mainly the US military. We need to use the Navy generals of Taiwan who are familiar with the combat thinking and equipment of the US military. These are all difficult and difficult horses. There is no reason to abandon them. I see that the candidate for Chief of Staff is Lu Duanming.
Regarding the candidate for this deputy commander, the comrades' opinions mainly focus on controversy over whether they are mainly army generals or air force generals."
The People's Liberation Army's navy, land and air generals have always regarded their own small stalls, so this question is common, but the answer to the specific question at the Nansha base is very intuitive. There is almost no army. Instead, HNA and the Air Force have a lot of demand for coordinated operations, which requires quarrel. Vice Chairman Liu felt a little puzzled when he heard this. He glanced at Vice Chairman Cao, and when he saw the latter, he smiled bitterly, and knew that behind this matter was not what he said.
Vice Chairman Liu couldn't help but feel moved and thought for a while. "Does No. 1 have instructions?" Vice Chairman Liu asked.
Vice Chairman Cao shook his head, "But Director Lei said something, saying that No. 1 had instructed that there was no war in the army and that the generals were not trained enough. The Military Commission should give the army generals more opportunities to train."
It turned out that the result of the disease was here. Vice Chairman Liu suddenly realized, "Who is the candidate proposed by the Army?" Vice Chairman Liu continued.
"College Xue Zhongping, deputy commander of the 113th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 38th Army." Vice Chairman Cao replied. As expected, Vice Chairman Liu shook his head. Colonel Xue was still at the colonel because of a certain exercise. He was promoted from a regular regiment to a deputy division commander in three years. He reached this point at the age of 33. His future in the military is naturally bright. If he has the opportunity to stay in the Nansha Base for a year and a half, he will not only be promoted to the level of the division, but also survive two or three years, he can also legitimately enter the ranks of generals.
