Chapter 50 Duties of the Commander
, On the old day, after the end of the quadron joint meeting, the joint headquarters was established by famous families.
At the meeting, Pei Chengyi adjusted the scope of power of generals from various countries. Lieutenant General Hassan, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, was still the deputy commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Tallin, deputy chief of staff of the Syrian Army, was replaced by Chief of Staff, Lieutenant General Badalin, deputy chief of staff of Iraq, Lieutenant General Maidid, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Lieutenant General Redia, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Syrian Revolutionary Guard, Lieutenant General Lanserla, Lieutenant General of the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard, Lieutenant General Huaizhi.com, Lieutenant General Jia Baoguo, Lieutenant General Liang Guoxiang, and Lieutenant General Lu Dingyu of the Tianjun formed the "Joint Staff Executive Committee." It is responsible for the specific implementation of the combat orders of the Joint Command.
Although the Syrian generals of the Iranian straitor were a little dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's intentional increase in Iraq, the main arrangements were all in the Jigo, and 4 of the seven members of the "Joint Staff Executive Committee" came from the Republic. It means that the power of the Joint Command is in the hands of Pei Chengyi, so it is difficult for Iran and the Syrian general to directly oppose it. In any case, if you cooperate with the Republic, you have to obey the command of the Republic.
After arranging these things, Pei Chengyi set out to solve the details.
Logically speaking, the first thing Pei Chengyi had to do was to ensure that the Iran, Syria and Iraqi army would obey the dispatch and command of the Joint Command. Because Li Cunxun had already made a promise, he would not have expected situations. Therefore, Pei Chengyi did not spend much effort on this matter. It was unclear how Li Cunxun used to make the generals of Iran, Syria and Iraq bow their heads, but Pei Chengyi had reason to believe that for the powerful Military Intelligence Bureau, it was definitely not difficult to figure out the private issues of some soldiers.
That's true, when arranging the staff of the Joint Department, Pei Chengyi basically did not consider other countries' consultants.
Within a few days, Pei Chengyi arranged the work for Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jingai, Long Hongen and Du Junyong Tianjun Colonel, who was responsible for strategic intelligence and theater communications, and led by four colonel officers, plus senior staff members of the spoken major level from four major military branches and two independent branches to form the "Joint Staff Association." In order to facilitate command, Pei Chengyi arranged Dongfang Wen as the "president" of the staff association. In other words, all the combat instructions issued by Pei Chengyi will be issued to the front-line combat troops through the staff association. To be clearer, this staff association composed of the ugly senior staff is the most powerful organization in the joint command. Lieutenant General Ming, Huaizhi.com, Jia Baoguo, Liang Guoxiang and Lu Dingyu, only went out to the town to avoid letting the generals of Iran, Syria and Iraq think that accepting the command of the school officials was a great humiliation.
It can also be seen from this series of arrangements that Pei Chengyi is cultivating the "direct army"
.
Although Yuan Chenhao's ability to become famous has a lot to do with Pei Chengyi's cultivation. It can even be said that if Pei Chengyi had not insisted on setting up a deputy commander for the front line command before the Indian War, Yuan Chenhao would have no chance to make a comeback. But in a sense, Yuan Chenhao was not Pei Chengyi's direct military officer. Before he met Pei Chengyi, he was already a senior staff officer of the General Staff and was trusted and valued by Xiang Yinghui. It can be seen that because he was also promoted by Xiang Yinghui, Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi were friends, not superiors and subordinates.
From Pei Chengyi's standpoint, no matter what he wants to do in the future, he will have to compensate a group of direct troops.
.
Dongfang Wen is old and has a civilian background. Even if he can be promoted to a general, it only has symbolic meaning. More importantly, Pei Chengyi's work and even daily life require a secretary who knows him well. Dongfang Wen is undoubtedly the best choice. In this way, Pei Chengyi has to cultivate several senior officers with development potential, and Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jing'an, Long Hongen and others are definitely the best choice. In fact, according to the promotion system of the Republic's army, after the end of this war, the three colonels will at least be promoted to brigade general. If they perform well, they may be promoted to major general like Yuan Chenhao back then, thus becoming an influential general.
Of course, in addition to the staff officer, Pei Chengyi also had to establish good relations with another group of soldiers.
On the day of the month, Pei Chengyi held an online video conference at the Joint Command. Among the participants, in addition to four lieutenant generals including Huaizhi.com, Liang Guoxiang, Jia Baoguo, Lu Dingyu, there were Lieutenant General Ling Yunxiao, Lieutenant General Luo Shaopeng, Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Lieutenant General Jiang Wancheng, Lieutenant General Zhang Biao, Lieutenant General Shang Xueyun, Lieutenant General Wang Xueping, Lieutenant General Fu Weimin and Lieutenant General Lie Dongshi, and other thugs Ming's combat unit, as well as the commander of the Navy Commander Hua Jianfeng, Air Force Commander Lei Jingming, Tianjun Commander Qi Hongfei, Marine Commander Tang Chenglong, Major General Zhang Xuefeng, Commander Nan Asian Theater Fleet Commander Major General Mei Lechi, Commander South Asian Theater Aviation Commander, and Major General Liu Rui, Commander of the Marine Corps.
Obviously, this is a meeting of senior generals.
According to the arrangement of the Military Intelligence Bureau, except for the personnel who followed Yuan Chenhao to Iran to form the Eastern Front Command, all the remaining personnel of the South Asian Theater Command were assigned to the Joint Command and accepted Pei Chengyi's command. In other words, generals like Zhang Xuefeng, Mei Lechi and Liu Rui had to obey Pei Chengyi's orders.
In terms of military services, Li Cunxun had long said hello to Lin Xiaolei.
During the war, in addition to the strategic troops that require approval from the head of state to mobilize, Pei Chengyi can mobilize all the military forces of the Republic according to combat needs, and the military commands of each army unconditionally cooperate with the joint command. In other words, Pei Chengyi can bypass the General Staff and even issue orders to the military commands without even asking Lin Xiaolei.
Four people who assisted Pei Chengyi have talked with Li Cunxun long ago, and their relationship with Pei Chengyi is not a thug. Yue※
The key lies in the commander of the old combat unit.
Although the "combat unit" is a ground combat unit built by the Army, anyone who knows the Republic's army knows that this is the "legacy" left to the Army by Xiang Yinghui before leaving the General Staff. To put it bluntly, this is what Xiang Yinghui made to maintain the Army's status as "big brother" in the Republic's army.
Back then, Xiang Yinghui vigorously promoted the "joint command mechanism" and made people feel that he wanted to use the gimmick of "joint command" to ensure the dominance of the army. No matter what, the Republic is a major country that must be valued and must attach great importance to land power. No matter how far it develops, land power is related to the life and death of the Republic, so the position of the army in the Republic's national defense power is unshakable. The problem is that as the Republic transforms from a regional power to a world power, the status of the army will definitely be challenged by the navy, air force, and even the Marine Corps, and with technological progress, it will also be challenged by the heavenly army. Under this circumstance, how to ensure the status of the army is definitely a problem that any army commander must consider.
Mu Yong doubted that continuing to promote "army dominance" would definitely not work.
In fact, Peng Maobang resisted the opposition and let Xiang Yinghui, who was born in the special forces, replace him as the Chief of General Staff, hoping that Xiang Yinghui would limit the authority of the army and eventually form a military system that best protects the national interests of the Republic. The problem is that in the old years when Xiang Yinghui was the Chief of General Staff, everything could not be implemented.
Influenced by the third military reform, Xiang Yinghui must leave one for the army before leaving office.
.
It was against this background that Xiang Yinghui's army's organizational system underwent drastic reforms, and "combat units came into being.
As a ground combat single built under the "joint command mechanism", "combat single" not only has the ability to command facial forces to fight, but is actually a small multi-army synthetic combat system. In other words, in actual combat, combat units can definitely command many combat units including aviation, marines, etc., and can even command naval support units to fight. This is true, the commanders of the old combat units are all in the army.
Generals, and among the front-line commanders, they are generally major generals, such as the commander of the theater aviation force is the major general of the air force, and the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group is at most a brigade general of the navy. This kind of superior military rank has given great privileges to the commanders of the combat unit. Not to mention, in order to make Li Dongshi from the airborne troops become a single combat commander, Xiang Yinghui signed his personnel promotion order the day before leaving the General Staff and personally awarded Li Dongshi the title.
It can be said that on the battlefield, the combat unit commander is the highest tactical pointer in one direction.
official.
As one of the underestimates of the army reform and the planners, Pei Chengyi could not have known this old pound. How high the status of the combat unit commander is. Although generals like Ling Yunxiao Xiaojiang Wancheng and Shang Xueyun are already old and are promoted to generals before retirement, young generals like Luo Shaopeng, Wang Xueping, Fu Weimin and Li Dongshi are definitely likely to gain a higher position after becoming generals. Especially Li Dongshi, a general who came from an airborne brigade and climbed up step by step from ordinary soldiers, has created miracles, and is a typical representative of young soldiers since Pei Chengyi, and his future achievements are likely not inferior to Pei Chengyi.
In short, Pei Chengyi has to fight a combat unit here. If there is no absolute necessity, he should try to avoid investing more ground combat forces. However, Pei Chengyi knew very well that even under the restrictions of logistics support, the Republic could not mobilize several tens of thousands of ground troops to fight a large-scale ground war with the US military in the Middle East like the Indian War. As the situation develops, the final investment of combat units is likely to be less than four. If the situation becomes shocking to the situation and cannot withdraw troops in time, I am afraid that the old battles will be used.
In fact, some of the military intelligence agency's practices have proved Pei Chengyi's concerns.
According to the information provided by Liu Xiaobin, the negotiations between the Republic and Iraqi authorities have not yet come to a conclusion, mainly because the two sides have differences on the number of military bases provided to the Republic and whether the Republic's military needs to take over Iraq's national transportation facilities. The fundamental reason for this difference is that the Republic hopes that the Iraqi authorities will fully cooperate to provide military bases that can station at least 6 combat units, and adjust transportation capacity according to war needs to ensure the timely delivery of military supplies and combat troops.
That is to say, in extreme cases, there will be 6 single battles invested in Iraq.
In any case, it is not too much to invest two combat units in Iran and Syria. In this way, old combat units may come on the field.
The problem is that Pei Chengyi cannot announce this news in advance.
He held a video conference at this time to determine the matters of the combat units.
Only two of the first four combat units participating in the war have been confirmed. One is Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit, and the other is Fu Weimin's ninth combat unit, the former will be sent to Iran and the latter will be sent to Syria. The second combat unit deployed in Iran and the combat unit deployed in Iraq have not been confirmed.
There is no doubt that this is a very difficult problem.
Fortunately, Ling Yunxiao, who was most likely to be in trouble, did not take the lead in making excuses. The discussion was conducted for more than two news. Pei Chengyi fully listened to the opinions of all participants, understood the ideas of the commander of the Xiong combat unit, and the others exchanged views. Before the meeting, Pei Chengyi did not give an answer, but agreed to select two combat units that are most suitable for fighting in the Middle East based on the performance of each combat unit in recent years and various actual situations.
At the beginning of the matter, if nothing unexpected happens, Pei Chengyi will choose the combat unit between Ling Yunxiao and Li Dongshi.
The former has been deployed in Pakistan and is a combat force under the South Asian theater. Although the single command of the First Battle was located in Lahore, the three brigades were deployed in multiple old military bases in Pakistan. Among them, the combat brigades have been operating in Balochistan Province and are very familiar with the desert environment. Like the Ninth Fighting Unit deployed in Xinjiang, it is the ground force that the Republic Army is best at desert combat. More importantly, Pakistan and Iran are both Islamic countries. More than 20,000 officers and soldiers of the First Battle Unit have lived in Pakistan for a long time and have a deeper understanding of Islamic culture. It is easier to adapt to the local environment after entering Iran. Considering the northern part of Pakistan
The location of the first combat unit support brigade in the area is mainly mountainous, and the Kurdish settlement area in northwestern Iran is also mountainous, so the first combat unit is most suitable for fighting in Iran. Yuan Chenhao did not choose the first combat unit first, nominally, the combat unit was all inland, while the second combat was stationed in India's largest military port. Under emergency dispatch, the second combat unit could reach the war zone faster. In fact, it was mainly because Ling Yunxiao had too deep qualifications, and Yuan Chenhao might not be able to use it. Luo Shaopeng made many mistakes during the Indian War. If it were not for Xiang Yinghui's efforts to protect him, he would have retired long ago. In other words, Luo Shaopeng needed this opportunity more and was more motivated.
The latter was established at the latest, with the most good equipment and the most advanced equipment. The 10th Battle Unit was established as an experimental unit. Xiang Yinghui first supported Li Dongshi. It was because this major general from the airborne army participated in many wars, from the most basic soldiers to the brigade-level commander. He was very clear about the problems of the Republic's army, very clear about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and most suitable to serve as the commander of the experimental unit. Not to mention anything else, as the first pound, the combat unit adopts an integrated command system. Within more than a year after the establishment of the 10th Battle Unit, he has been conducting high-intensity practical exercises in the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Chongqing, and exploring new indicators.
How to use the war system. What's more important is that Li Dongshi is the youngest and least experienced commander of the thug combat unit. Although he received more medals than other commanders combined, in the army that pays attention to background, Li Dongshi needs more opportunities to make achievements, especially the opportunity to command large corps to fight and achieve brilliant results. In this way, Li Dongshi will definitely be more active. According to the actual situation, the tenth battle single will definitely be sent to Iraq, and the direction will be directly commanded by Pei Chengyi. Considering Li Dongshi's background, that is, he has not joined any faction yet, it is even more worthy of Pei Chengyi's use.
In a sense, Pei Chengyi held this video conference just to communicate with everyone.
After the meeting, he spoke to Li Cunxun on the phone, introduced the meeting situation, and asked Li Cunxun for his opinion.
Obviously, Li Cunzhu would not have any opinions on such military decisions. In his words, there is no need to seek his opinions on issues related to combat operations.
After receiving the support of Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi began to arrange the troops' mobilization work.
Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit will follow the strategic projection fleet to the Gulf. After the war breaks out, it will take only an hour to get ashore at several major ports in Iran's Khuzestan Province, and let the vanguard arrive in Kurdistan Province in northwest Iran within the next hour.
Fu Weimin's ninth combat unit will come to Guadal Port from the China-Pakistan Strategic Railway, then take a strategic delivery fleet to Basra, Iraq, and finally follow the highway to the Syrian desert, which refers to Syria, Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, deep in the desert, located in the junction of Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, located in western Iraq, less than a thousand meters away from the Iraq-Syrian border. After the war breaks out, you can reach Damascus within an hour.
Ling Yunxiao's first combat unit will enter Balochistan Province, Pakistan, and gradually gather towards the Iranian border. After the war breaks out, it can reach the Port of Abbas in Iran within an hour. If necessary, it only takes a few hours to reach the northwest of Iran.
The most troublesome thing is Li Dongshi's tenth combat unit. In the front: the mobilization operations of combat units can be covered up in the names of normal deployment and joint exercises, but the tenth combat unit, as a pioneering force, is difficult to send to the Middle East.
Fortunately, Pei Chengyi had left room, that is, when mobilizing the ninth combat unit, he did not use strategic airlift power. Because the tenth combat unit belongs to the experimental unit and has been practicing deep in the mountains, he can enter the combat state in advance and directly transport it to the war zone by airlift when needed.
When we do these things well, it is already the last day of the month.
On this day, Pei Chengyi received the exact news that the third round of secret negotiations between China and the United States on the Kurdish issue was officially broken!
Chapter completed!
