Chapter VII Mobilization Mechanism
No matter what the quality is, Pei Chengyi is a pragmatic person.
Although many people combined Pei Chengyi's shocking performance on the battlefield with his political propositions, believing that he would be one of the few extremely tough national leaders in the history of the Republic. But putting aside the appearance and facts as the basis, no one could deny it. Whether on the battlefield or in the political arena, Pei Chengyi's performance was very steady. Even after many people believed that it was the most classic Indian War, Pei Chengyi's performance was mainly steady and victory. He did not do anything beyond the combat effectiveness of the Republic's army, and rarely even launched an attack without being sure.
In short, as a national leader who was born in a military family, Pei Chengyi was very clear about the importance of seeking stability.
Mu Yong doubted that the political field is also a battlefield, and it is a more cruel battlefield. If you fail in the war, you still have a chance to make a comeback. If you fail in the political struggle, you will never be able to turn over. In fact, excellent politicians have the characteristics of being pragmatic and seeking stability, Ji Jieguo is no exception, and Wang Yuanqing is no exception. Without steady and steady struggle ideas, one step at a time, there would be no increasingly powerful republic.
At that time, Wang Yuanqing valued Pei Chengyi very much, which probably has a lot to do with Pei Chengyi's pursuit of stability.
Of course, seeking stability is not a coward.
In all cases where national interests are first, seeking stability is to put the overall situation first. That is to say, when national interests are threatened and other means lose their effect, achieving the goal through war is by no means a risk. You should know that in the history of the Republic, such situations are not lacking. In the face of crises, when the failure of crises and delaying for a long time is the biggest enemy of national interests. When there is no choice, facing challenges bravely truly reflects the courage and wisdom of a national leader. The fighting spirit and morale of a country.
On the night of July 2019, Pei Chengyi, who had just taken office as head of state of the Republic, had to face a difficult choice.
As predicted by the outside world, at the dinner to celebrate the new head of state, Pei Chengyi left the venue after giving a speech and went to the secret conference center located underground in the back garden. Because it was a newly designed head of state, the relevant infrastructure was built according to the highest wartime standards. In addition to a subway leading to the suburbs' strategic command center and the air force base, important facilities including the conference center and the service center were placed underground to avoid damage. Of course, the specific location of these important facilities must be the highest secret of the Republic.
Of course, for Pei Chengyi, he doesn't need to care about these trivial matters.
If you really encounter danger, the guards of the head of state can send him to the suburbs' air base within minutes, and the "Republic One" special plane can take off with the head of state and political leaders within the old minutes after receiving the alarm, leaving the capital that is prone to strategic blows.
Anyway, the Head of Republic is certainly one of the safest places in the world.
At least at this time, none of the officials sitting in the conference center of the Head of State were considering their personal safety. In the face of the dangers encountered by the country, what is personal safety?
After the meeting began, Pei Chengyi gave up his voice to Jiao Meishan.
As a partner with Yan Jingyu, he and Jiao Kuishan were in charge of security work. As the head of state, Pei Chengyi was responsible for security work, and Jiao Kuishan, as the deputy head of state, was responsible for economic affairs. Although it was not abolished, according to Pei Chengyi's arrangement, the former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, Yong Yugang, who replaced Jiao Weishan as Premier of the State Council, was the former Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs, so Jiao Kuishan was the one who was actually responsible for the daily work of the State Council. Of course, this Yong Yugang also had an extraordinary relationship with Pei Chengyi. Because he was an old subordinate of Pei Chengyi's father-in-law Liu Yulong, and a college classmate of Pei Chengyi's wife Liu Qingqing. In short, he had the closest personal relationship with Pei Chengyi among the State Council officials.
According to Pei Chengyi's habit, discuss economic and diplomatic affairs before discussing military issues.
In fact, the biggest problem facing the Republic comes from its economy and diplomacy, not military preparation.
Although he partnered with Pei Chengyi for the first time, he had previous years of cooperation experience. Jiao Mianshan was very clear about Pei Chengyi's employment philosophy, that is, he did not doubt people and did not doubt people. This is why when talking about economic issues, Jiao Kuishan did not fully expand it. He only mentioned a few important issues.
Of course, all important issues are related to war preparation.
The first is the pre-war mobilization of the military industry. As mentioned earlier, since previous years, the Republican authorities have mobilized wars in advance through additional funding and financial subsidies, recruited more technical workers, expanded production capacity, and reserved important raw materials. Therefore, by the time Pei Chengyi came to power, the Republic's military industry had completed war mobilization.
Mo Yong doubted that this is definitely the biggest Youbai
The pre-war mobilization of the military industry is not exactly the same as what ordinary people understand. To put it directly, arms companies do not need to build new factories to expand their production capacity. There is no need to expand production lines. Compared with the civilian industry, the military industry must consider the wartime needs during the rules.
Take fighter production lines as an example. The actual production capacity of any production line during peacetime is only one-tenth or even one-twentieth of the design. For example, the maximum designed production capacity of the production line used by AVIC Group to produce small old fighters is four per month, but the actual monthly output is less than one gram below the ferrobe, and India's war spirit has been reduced to less than the ferrobe. Even so, AVIC Group still retains two production lines at the two major aircraft manufacturing plants of Shenyang and Xi'an. That is to say, as long as the war breaks out, the monthly output of small old fighters can reach the brewing rack without being affected by other conditions, which exceeds the output of peacetime.
Other aspects are no exception. For example, the actual output of the main ground battle platform of North Heavy Industries is an average monthly blade vehicle, and the maximum design capacity is as high as monthly, assisted vehicles. Even warships with a relatively long construction cycle can be increased by several times at full capacity. For example, the "Chongqing. aircraft carrier, which takes 7 years to build in peacetime, does not include the test before design and ship delivery, but only refers to the time from laying the keel to completing the perch in wartime. It only takes 3 years to complete. If the module production efficiency can be improved in mass production, the square meter can be built.
In addition to the particularity of arms, what affects the production efficiency of military industries is mainly whether the productivity is sufficient.
According to wartime standards, in addition to normal maintenance required according to design standards, the arms production lines usually operate continuously during hours. The problem is that in peacetime, they are subject to various laws, such as the labor law of the Republic. The overtime wages of workers are twice as high as those of normal work. If the overtime hours per week exceed 6 hours, the salary of the excess part will be doubled, which is 3 times the usual one. In this way, if the production lines continue to operate during the time of destruction, the average labor cost will be increased by nearly 2 times, making the company unprofitable.
That's why the first thing the Republican authorities do is to allow arms companies to recruit technical workers in advance and complete labor reserves through financial subsidies.
The problem is that when workers are recruited, they have to arrange their work. It is not necessary to increase the output.
This is the second problem, namely the arms reserves.
Although according to the general understanding, arms reserves should be a military issue, and the logistics department under the Ministry of National Defense is also responsible for the relevant work. However, the reserves involve all walks of life, so they are included in the economic scope.
Arms are ready to be prepared into two aspects: one is the main equipment and the other is ammunition and drug resources.
The main equipment is easy to say. In order to avoid premature exposure of war intentions and military strength, the Republican authorities adopted a flexible method, that is, to use newly produced equipment to replace sealed old equipment, and old equipment is assisted to friendly countries as consumables, directly destroyed, etc. Take Air Force fighters as an example. By the end of June of the year, all sealed old and small-zhan series fighters were disposed of. After some of the newer models were renovated, they gave free assistance to some friends who were unable to purchase new fighters.
Good country. Some older signals are converted into drone targets and consumed in daily practice. Only a very small number of them that cannot be modified are directly scrapped and destroyed. Instead of small old and small occupations, all new small old and Yidian fighter jets are newly produced. They are all the latest improved models, and they are completely replaced in the right way to ensure that after the war begins, the army can be expanded at the fastest speed. Except for the navy's warships that are too large and difficult to replace the pillars, other sealed equipment are basically replaced with the latest equipment in the same way.
The key is to ammunition.
As we all know, in modern wars, especially in large-scale wars with small differences in strength, the consumption and consumption speed of ammunition and drug resources are very amazing. Take the Peninsula War as an example. In the initial battles, the Republic's army consumed about 20,000 tons of various materials. Before the end of the large-scale military operation, the various types of combat materials consumed by the Republic's army alone reached 10,000 tons, which is equivalent to the annual material consumption of a medium-sized country with a population of 10,000 million. More importantly,
The most rapid consumption of materials makes the production capacity of any country unable to meet the needs of war. Although after the mobilization of full-scale war, superpowers like the Republic and the United States have enough capacity to produce enough ammunition and drug resources, it takes at least several months to complete the mobilization of full-scale war. Before that, the country's productivity had not yet erupted. The speed of material production is far from keeping up with the consumption speed of war. Therefore, it can only rely on strategic reserves.
That's true, even in peacetime, the Republic and the United States also reserved a lot of war supplies.
In order to ensure that Hebei's war materials were not diverted for other purposes, the Republic and the United States also issued relevant laws.
According to the provisions of the "Strategic Material Reserve Law" promulgated in the year of the Republic, and revised in the year of the second distillation and past years. The total amount of strategic material reserves in the Republic shall not be lower than the previous level, and the country consumes within 6 months under normal circumstances. The so-called strategic materials include grain, mineral resources, medicines, etc.
In terms of war materials, the law also made provisions when it was amended in previous years. That is, the combat operations before the Middle East War in the turmoil were based on the average annual rate of annual monetary wars. The reserved war materials must not be lower than the combat consumption of the Republic's military, including ammunition, military ration, consumption equipment, etc. According to this standard, by the year of the year, the reserved ammunition recommendation of the Republic's army exceeded 10,000 tons.
In comparison, the United States has reserved ammunition drugs.
There is no doubt that "ammunition is definitely not a decimal, but it is all just a thousand-year-old. The heads and tails of Yazhu are connected together, and it is enough to circle the earth's equator. If so many ammunitions are stored in standard arms warehouses, at least they need a blade and a warehouse. Of course, according to the material management regulations of the Republic's army, all explosive materials will be stored in underground warehouses and stored in scattered storage.
In fact, the Republic's reserves of ammunition have increased far more than 40,000 tons.
According to the relevant information provided by Jiaokuishan, by the end of June of the year, in addition to the ammunition warehouse built several years ago, the Lianzang ammunition warehouse was also built in two years, including four unmanned underground ammunition warehouses with storage capacity of Dankou, and these ammunition warehouses are all filled with ammunition. Therefore, the Republic has stored more than 40,000 tons of ammunition, which is a coincidence that under normal circumstances. More importantly, as long as the ammunition factories in the Republic are still operating, the number of ammunition warehouses will grow at a weekly and pile rate, and all are unmanned underground ammunition warehouses of Dankou. In other words, if the war drags on for one more week, the ammunition stored in the Republic will increase by 10,000 tons.
It is not difficult to understand why the economy of the Republic and the United States has problems.
Even according to the minimum standards, the value of falling 10,000 tons of ammunition is about 400 million yuan. That is to say, the Republic spends only on ammunition procurement every year up to RMB 100 million, plus the cost of building ammunition depots, maintenance and management, etc. The actual investment is definitely about RMB 100 million. Because the country gives priority to ensuring military industry and ensuring ammunition production, a large number of important resources will flow into the arms industry first. Therefore, the impact on the social economy is far more than this, and the actual economic losses it causes are likely to be magnified by more than magnification.
It can be said that only under the threat of a world war, the Republic will expand its arms so crazily.
Of course, the result is also very obvious. According to Jiao Banshan, even though the total war with the United States was twice as fierce as the Middle East War, it was launched in full swing from the beginning. The war broke out at the end of the year. The Republic reserved ammunition and medicines enough for the army to spend half a month.
In this way, whether the economy can be put on wartime track within half a month becomes extremely critical.
This is the third economic question. It is how much time it takes to complete the mobilization of a total war.
There is no doubt that even if the preliminary preparations are done, no country can put its economy on the wartime track in just ten thousand days. In fact, unless the Republic takes the initiative to trigger a war, it will take several days to allow the country to enter a wartime state after the war begins. It is precisely because of this. Jiao Kuishan proposed from the beginning that the country's war mobilization will be carried out in three stages. First, make legislative preparations, that is, after the war breaks out, the general congress must pass the "Wartime Authorization Law" as quickly as possible to mobilize the state's forces in accordance with the law and issue a war mobilization order. Secondly, for the preliminary preparations, first ensure that the military-related industries and industries enter the wartime state after the war begins. That is, to give priority to ensuring war productivity. Finally, the country's comprehensive war mobilization, that is, according to the Wartime Mobilization Law, all walks of life must complete the restructuring and adaptation in a way that is most conducive to war.
It can be said that this is the key point in the economy.
According to Jiao Kuishan, wartime authorization can only take a long time at most, so the head of state needs to personally communicate with all the members of the congress and make preliminary preparations to reduce unnecessary troubles and ensure that the country can enter the wartime state in the shortest time. The key is the second step, that is, whether the preliminary mobilization can be completed within the occupation day and make the national production capacity meet the wartime standards. In this regard, Jiao Kuishan’s proposal is to increase the national strategic reserves, so that part of the administrative power in the government can be used after the war breaks out, and priority care for key industries and accelerate industrial transformation. In this way, the mobilization work can be completed within the old sky to the occupation day. Relatively speaking, the last step is not very critical. After all, with the strength of the Republic, as long as the military industry can be given priority.
, and industries and industries related to war. Without a serious blow to the local area, even if the country does not enter a state of full-scale war, it will not have too much negative impact on the war. More importantly, the state of full-scale war is equivalent to making everyone tighten the clockwork. No one can relax before winning, so it will have a great impact on the people's will to war. Without absolute necessity, no leader of any country will let the country enter a state of full-scale war, basically if it can be delayed. Take the United States during World War II for example, in fact, until the end of the war, the United States did not mobilize a total war like Britain and the Soviet Union. According to Jiao Dishan's meaning, be prepared first. As for whether it is necessary to enter a state of full-scale war, it is determined by the situation in the early stage of the war.
Obviously, Jiao Kuoshan is an expert in economic management, especially in economic planning. His experience of working with Wang Yuanqing played a great role. You should know that during the Peninsula War, the Japanese War and the Indian War, Jiao Shushan was Wang Yuanqing's secretary and helped Wang Yuanqing handle many wartime affairs.
Pei Chengyi is also very willing to do this
In his words, Jiao Kuishan is in charge of economic affairs. He has nothing to worry about.
