Volume 13 Moral Controversy Chapter 29 Behind the Scenes

As mentioned earlier, after years, the Republic's national defense construction encountered "pillar".

No matter who blames the problem or which concept of governance is above, the Middle East War is a real impact on the Republic's national defense construction.

The national strategic policy of Gu Weimin does not attach importance to national defense construction, so even with Pei Chengyi's full efforts, the national defense construction of the Republic is still mainly focused on "recovery", that is, to make up for the impact of the Middle East war on the Republic's army, and to make very limited organizational adjustments to the problems exposed by the army in the war. Although what happened during this year has often been criticized, many people even believe that if they can seize the opportunity of this year, the Republic will be fully capable of launching the world before the Dian Nian Nian while the United States is not ready for war.

The war forced the US authorities to admit defeat before mobilizing the full war, but everyone must admit that the restoration and construction of the station year laid the foundation for the subsequent large-scale military reforms and provided impetus for the Republic to go further in the world war. More importantly, during this year, the national conditions of the Republic determined that any national defense modernization construction was not realistic. Even if Wang Yuanqing was in office, it would not be possible to invest too much national strength in national defense construction. You must know that during Wang Yuanqing's administration, after the Japanese War, the Republic authorities spent 7 years preparing for the Indian War!

By the Year of the Insect, to be precise, it should be the fourth fiscal year, and the national defense construction of the Republic began to accelerate.

At that time, the Republic's national defense budget increased compared with the fiscal year, and the growth rate was the first to break through since the year of Daoshi. More importantly, Yan Jingyu approved the "20-year Construction Plan for National Defense Force" submitted by Pei Chengyi. At the beginning of the following year, the regulation was approved at the plenary congress with a young support rate, becoming the first long-term construction plan for national defense forces initiated by the Minister of National Defense and with military reform significance. In fact, many people later called the reform actions related to this national defense construction plan the Republic's "Fourth Military Reform" and thus determined that in the year of strength, Yan Jingyu intended to make Pei Chengyi more politically, because it was not Yan Jingyu who was promoting this military reform, but Pei Chengyi.

Yuan Chenhao is also the initiator and participant of this military reform.

In fact, this is also the first military reform of the Republic to set the cycle as the year of force, rather than the thug. Although the grass reform cycle as the year of force, the main basis is the development cycle of military power, mainly to reduce the negative impact of the government election on national defense power construction. This obviously targets certain extreme policies during Gu Weimin's administration and ensures that major strategic policies related to national safety and national survival are continuity and continuity, many people therefore believe that if Pei Chengyi did not receive Yan Jingyu's suggestion or legitimate support, it would be impossible to introduce such a military reform plan that needs to be completed by successors during the year of force. Some people also believe that the construction cycle of this military reform plan is 20 years, so when Yan Jingyu considered his successor, he put Pei Chengyi first. In other words, Pei Chengyi did not set a political foundation through this military reform plan.

No matter what, this is a profound and extraordinary military reform plan.

As an Army General, and the main participant Yuan Chenhao is also an Army General, the core of this military reform plan is to target the army organization and equipment reform.

If it were many years ago, the difficulty of staffing reform would definitely exceed that of equipment reform.

It has to be admitted that the third military reform fundamentally corrected the atmosphere of the Republic's military, clarified the responsibilities of the army and the position of the army in the Republic's power structure. It is precisely because of this that when Pei Chengyi implemented the reform, equipment reform was much more difficult.

In terms of organizational reform, the main trick is to adjust the problems exposed by individual combat during the Middle East War.

Strictly speaking, combat units performed remarkable in the Middle East War, far exceeding initial expectations.

At the beginning of the year, "Jane's Defense Weekly" made a horizontal comparison of the combat effectiveness of the ground combat troops of each participating country in the Middle East War. With the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army as the fourth, the Israeli Army, which ranked second, the US Marine Warfare, which ranked fourth, the US Army as the fall, and then the Iraqi Army, Iranian Army, the Turkish Army and the Syrian Army. Although "Jane's Defense Weekly" is a private defense magazine, it has a high authority in the field of international military power. According to this calculation, the combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army is almost twice that of the US Army! There is no doubt that the combat performance of the main combat equipment of the Republic's Army is definitely less than twice that of the US Army, so the organization system of combat units is the key to improving the combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army.

Of course, the single profit system for combat is definitely not perfect enough.

On the main northern fronts, the battle units participating in the battle exposed many problems. The most popular one is that the support brigade often needs to perform combat tasks and also take offensive combat tasks. Obviously, this has exceeded the original intention of forming combat units. Moreover, the organizational system and equipment system of the support brigade are not very suitable for performing offensive combat tasks. According to the casualty investigation report submitted by the Republic Army to General Chuan after the war, more than 70% of the battle casualties came from the suspense, and about 70% of the casualties appeared in offensive operations. In other words, more than half of the casualties of the Republic Army in the Middle East War were related to the fact that the support brigade did not have the organizational and equipment suitable for offensive operations, but had to participate in offensive operations.

In other words, there must be a problem in forming a support brigade separately among combat units. Of course, this does not mean that the support brigade is not well organized. According to another report from the Army, the close-killing ten thousand US troops that could defeat a US military advisor on the northern front with less than 10,000 troops, and obtain an impressive record of killing and capturing US thugs. Of which about 30,000 were obtained during the tug-of-war during the negotiations, which is very funny with the functional organization system of combat units. It is precisely because of the strong combat support provided by the support brigade that the combat brigade can have amazing performance in combat.

In the post-war summary, many people blamed the huge casualties of the single support brigade on the less ideal main combat equipment.

In addition to equipment problems, the biggest problem is that the organization is unreasonable. To be precise, when the front-line commander dispatches troops, he does not use the support brigade and the combat brigade according to the actual situation, or commands in the traditional way, so that a certain unit can undertake a certain combat task alone. This is not the main feature of the organization system of combat units. Adapting the field army into a combat single means abolishing traditional tactics and allowing the front-line commander to make full use of the characteristics of various combat forces to reduce the casualties. The ratio of the relative casualties rate of the tenth combat unit with the most outstanding performance to the total time of performing combat tasks is much lower than that of other combat units, because the tenth combat unit uses each combat force more reasonably and try to avoid using a certain combat unit alone. The problem is that the tenth combat unit's performance on the battlefield is not good enough, especially in artillery fire support, there are still many problems.

The most direct way to address these issues is to adjust the organization.

In fact, as early as the end of the year, shortly after Pei Chengyi returned to the Central Committee to serve as Minister of National Defense, he established a special training class in the name of the Ministry of National Defense, and personally served as an honorary instructor to train the brigade-level commanders of various combat units. At that time, Pei Chengyi emphasized the rational application of various combat forces, rather than obsessing and coordinating the combat rules to command troops to fight.

Because the combat units themselves are a very flexible combat organization system, in the military reform initiated in 2Qing, the focus of the organization reform of the Republic Army was on implementation, that is, to make all officers and soldiers, especially grassroots officers, familiar with and master the ability of collaborative combat between multiple arms.

Of course, another focus of staffing reform is "expanding".

Because after the Middle East War, Gu Weimin did not disband a field army-level reserve force composed of about 10,000 retired soldiers who were urgently recruited, but retained the reserve force in the form of a permanent reserve force and gave regular soldiers treatment. During the Daoqiao Nian, Gu Weimin also promoted the issuance of the "Law on the Establishment and Mobilization of Military Forces of the Standing Reserve", which clarified the scope and use of this old ten thousand army. Therefore, when Pei Chengyi was implementing military reform in the year, he could overcome legislative obstacles and change the old ten thousand army into a combat single, and increase the front-line standing troops of the Republic Army to Bian Wan. Although the absolute added value is not large, the relative increase system reached an astonishing proportion of irrigation!

Maintaining a smaller army for a long time has little impact on the military power of the Republic.

As mentioned earlier, one of the main items of the third military reform is to implement the "non-commissioned officer system" in the army, that is, most technical soldiers and most combat soldiers are non-commissioned officers, and there are not many real soldiers, and the soldiers are basically sergeants. In this way, the Republic Army has very amazing expansion capabilities during the emergency period. In the Middle East War, the Republic Army's expansion capabilities were tested. For the eighth combat unit with a large casualty, when leaving the battlefield, the unit had replaced about two-thirds of the officers and soldiers, and about 80% of the recruits were supplemented from undertrained militia units. According to the performance of the war cattle unit on the battlefield, the recruits who account for about half of the total force did not have a serious impact on combat effectiveness, and the combat unit can still complete most of the combat tasks.

As early as around the year of Lishi, the British Institute of Strategic Studies evaluated the expansion capacity of the Republic Army. According to the evaluation results released by the Institute: based on maintaining the combat effectiveness of the mouth, the Republic Army can expand the scale of front-line combat troops by absorbing militias and super-reserve reserve troops. At that time, the Institute of Strategic Studies has regarded the old Wan permanent reserve troops as front-line combat troops; based on maintaining 80% of the combat effectiveness, the Republic Army can recruit retired soldiers within a month, and recruit about Jinwan Reserve officers and soldiers.

According to the estimates of "Jane's Defense Weekly", the combat effectiveness of the US Army is equivalent to that of the Republic's Army, and the combat effectiveness of the US Marine Corps is similar to that of the Renhe Army. If both sides obtain thugs, the US Marine Corps will be the US Marine Corps. Although the US has also adjusted the military system after the Middle East War, increasing the proportion of non-commissioned officers and low-level officers, strengthening the role of sergeants in grassroots troops, and having certain expansion capabilities, the US's mobilization ability is far inferior to that of the Republic. It is impossible to gain a military advantage in the early stages of the war.

In a sense, the United States' defeat in the Middle East was because of problems with the basic military system.

It is also true that in the military reform of the Year of the Cuckoo, Pei Chengyi emphasized the importance of the Republic's military mobilization system, especially in the organization. According to the reform plan proposed by Pei Chengyi, in the reforms related to organization, increasing the proportion of non-commissioned officers in the unpreparatory reserve troops and strengthening the social management of retired soldiers became the highlight.

The specific reform measures include the establishment of a special reserve non-commissioned officer training and scraping agency. Because reserve officers and soldiers have social identities and are the main labor force in society, the Republic's Army is obliged to provide more subsidies for reserve non-commissioned officers to make up for the social price they paid for participating in military training and military training. According to the implementation rules issued later, reserve non-commissioned officers can obtain special allowances ranging from 40,000 to 10,000 yuan from the Army every year according to their military rank and specific positions.

According to the Republic's Military Service Law, after a soldier retires, he will serve the army as a reserve officer and soldier for 3 to 20 years according to the specific circumstances. In other words, except for particularly older generals and senior sergeants, other retired soldiers have reserve identities. It can be said that these talents are the main force and bones of the reserve.

In response to this situation, the Republic's Army has introduced many detailed measures, such as hundreds of arms companies related to the Army's procurement signed the "Vocational Skills Commission and Intention Employment Agreement for Veterans". According to the provisions of the agreement, all retired soldiers have the opportunity to obtain reemployment training provided by these companies and give priority to employment opportunities. Of course, if retired soldiers want to obtain these generous benefits, they must sign a very important agreement with the Republic's Army, that is, to obey the Army's recruitment at any time within the normal service age.

As these reform measures are gradually implemented, the Republic's army's military strength problem will not exist.

That's why, in the year of Mom, "Jane's Defense Weekly" broke the convention and announced the "global military force rankings of the year" at the end of that year. According to the weekly estimates, by about 2 years, the military reforms implemented by Pei Chengyi completed the first phase of seven years of work. The actual combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army is likely to be as high as the outside world estimates. According to this evaluation, "Jane's Defense Weekly" came to a very surprising conclusion, that is, the military reforms implemented by Pei Chengyi not only improved the Republic's military strength, but also prepared for the world war.

In fact, it was this comment from "Jane's House Zhou Xun" that made the "World War" come to life on paper.

At the beginning of the 4th century, in the report submitted to the Pentagon, Rand Company placed the growth rate of the combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army first and marked it in red font. According to Rand Company's prediction, by the past years, the actual combat effectiveness of the Republic's Army was roughly equivalent to that of the fierce irrigation during the Middle East War, that is, it was about twice the blade. For the US authorities, this was undoubtedly a wake-up call. You should know that in the military reform plan launched by the Pentagon, the requirements for the combat effectiveness of the Army were only to reach the Otter Thugs in previous years, that is, it was about twice the old one. It can be seen that if the US authorities do not accelerate the speed of military development, by the past years, the combat effectiveness of the US Army would be reduced to below the Republic's Army's mist and become a second-rate army.

For other major countries, the rapid expansion of the strength of the Republic's army is definitely not a good thing.

Of course, compared with the United States, other countries except Russia have not suffered much impact. In any case, the Republic gave up its expansionary foreign policy after 2 years. Even if the Republic will once again embark on the road of external expansion in recent years, it will focus on the Middle East instead of challenging the United States across the board.

More importantly, the most eye-catching thing in the reform of the Republic's Army was the equipment reform.

Since the beginning of the Peninsula War, the Republic's Army has once again been at the forefront of the world and has become a weather vane that influences the development direction of the global army. You must know that just "lightweight," and "air-based," is enough to divide the global army into different levels. Let countries like Russia claim to be a major army power lag behind the Republic in army construction at least in the old year, and even lag behind the registrar in some key technologies.

When the Republic Army once again worked on equipment, no one dared to doubt its revolutionary nature.

It can be said that "Jane's Defense Weekly" and Rand Company highly praised the Republic's Army's reform. A very critical factor is that the scale of the Republic's Army's equipment reform far exceeds the outside world's expectations!
