On the second day, the Military Committee of the Crossing Group made a series of moves, first publishing the [Summary Report on the Army Construction Work of the People's Army after the Crossing].

From the time of the crossing to the present, the People's Army has developed, and now its size has expanded to 72,000 people, and it is divided into two major services, the army and the navy, of which 55,000 are the army and 17,000 are the navy.

At present, the maximum establishment of the army is at the regimental level, and a total of 16 regiments will be established, of which three will be artillery regiments, one cavalry regiment (tentatively two battalions), and the rest will be combat regiments, with a total strength of 45,000 troops, and 10,000 logistics support personnel.

At present, the distribution of the army is as follows: 4 regiments are stationed in Beijing, 5 regiments (including 1 artillery regiment) are stationed in Shanhaiguan, 1 regiment is stationed in Tianjin, 1 regiment is stationed in Weihaiwei, and 5 regiments (including 2 artillery regiments and 1 cavalry regiment) are stationed in Shandong. However, the garrisons in Beijing and Shanhaiguan will not last long, so it is expected that only 2 regiments will be stationed in Tianjin in the future, and all the rest will be stationed in various places in Shandong.

At present, the navy is divided into 10,000 shipboard soldiers, 2,000 shore-based soldiers, and 5,000 logistics support personnel; at present, in addition to the warships that cross the warship, the KPA Navy has a total of warships to be repaired: 2 battleships, 2 large armored cruisers, 4 large ironclad ships, 5 protective cruisers, 12 shallow water gunboats and torpedo boat destroyers, totaling about 132,000 tons, and 20 auxiliary transport ships, totaling 96,000 tons. Since most of the warships have not yet been repaired, the fleet will not be formed for the time being.

In the future, the ports where the navy will be stationed will be divided into four places, Tianjin, Yantai, Weihai, and Qingdao, of which Tianjin and Qingdao will be the main ports of the navy.

On the whole, the army building work at this stage has been fruitful, not only has the People's Army taken initial shape, but it has also formed a certain combat strength by relying on the captured weapons, and has been able to carry out relatively important combat tasks on the battlefield, and has achieved good results, shattering the myth of the invincibility of foreign aggressors. However, due to the short time taken for the KPA to be formed, the quality of the local soldiers is not high, and the officers who cross the army are inexperienced, there are also many problems.

With the current strength of the KPA, it is sufficient to defend the territory and rights and interests of the crossing group at the present stage, so the expansion of the KPA will be completed in stages, and there will be no expansion within this year, and the next step will be to strengthen the training and rectification of the current KPA, make up for the shortcomings, strengthen ideological and cultural education for the local soldiers, improve their quality, and strengthen the training of technical arms.

Strictly speaking, before that, the Central Military Commission could only be regarded as a half-empty shell, and the functional departments and organizational structure were not complete but also perfected. Now that the People's Army has formed a considerable scale, and at the same time has accumulated a lot of experience in the operation of the army, it is possible to improve the structure of the Central Military Commission.

After the adjustment and improvement of the Military Committee, Chairman Xia Bohai, Vice Chairmen Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun.

There are 6 major functional departments, and the heads of the departments are all members of the Military Commission:

Xiao Jianjun, chief of the General Staff Department, is mainly responsible for operational planning, command and control, and operational command support, studying and formulating military strategies and military needs, organizing the assessment of combat capability, organizing and guiding joint training, military exercises, combat readiness building, and daily combat readiness work.

Qin Zheng, director of the General Political Department, is mainly responsible for the functions of all-army building, organizational work, political and ideological education, and military human resources management.

Zhu Yaping, Minister of the Ministry of the Army, concurrently serves as the commander-in-chief of the Army, and is mainly responsible for the daily regular and basic work of the Army's establishment and construction, military training and troop management, and participates in the Army's operational planning, command and control, and operational command and support, researches and formulates military strategies, and military needs, military equipment development planning and planning, R&D, test and appraisal, and procurement management.

The main responsibilities of the Navy are responsible for the daily regular and basic work of the Navy, such as the establishment and construction, military training and troop management, and participate in the Navy's operational planning, command and control, and operational command and support, research and formulation of military strategies and military needs, military equipment development planning and planning, R&D, test and appraisal, and procurement management.

Zhang Weining, director of the Equipment Development Department and political commissar of the Kunming Ship, is mainly responsible for the army's equipment development planning plan, R&D, test and appraisal, procurement management, and information system construction, and strives to build an institutional framework under the centralized management of the equipment department of the Central Military Commission, the specific construction and management of the services, and the joint use of the military and the theater.

The logistics support department, director of the Taihu Ship, Captain Xie Teng, is mainly responsible for the army's logistics support planning, policy research, standard formulation, inspection and supervision. Efforts should also be made to build, adjust, and optimize the distribution of support forces and the relationship between leadership and command, and to build a logistics support system that is compatible with the operational command systems of all branches of the armed forces, integrates unified and separate forces, and connects the two fronts.

In addition, there are six directly subordinate organs, and the heads of the directly subordinate organs are all alternate members of the Central Military Commission

The office of the Military Commission, the director is Wu Kai, deputy political commissar of the Xiangyang ship, and the main responsibility is to be responsible for the daily administrative management and support of the Military Commission.

The main duties of the Discipline Supervision Department are to supervise and inspect the military's discipline, work style, actions, and the execution of tasks, promote the management of the army according to law and strictly, prevent and investigate the army's illegal and criminal activities, and dispatch supervisory personnel to various organs and departments of the Central Military Commission, theaters, and military regions to play a supervisory and supervisory role.

The main responsibilities of the Military Technology Research Office are to strengthen the strategic management and research of national defense science and technology, promote independent innovation in national defense science and technology, and coordinate and promote the integration of military and civilian development in the field of science and technology.

The chief of the Audit Office is Wu Yuhui, political commissar of the Huaihua warship, and its main responsibilities are to perform the military's financial auditing and supervision functions and to organize and guide the auditing work of the whole army.

The main responsibilities of the General Administration of Organ Affairs are to take unified responsibility for the management and support work of the organs of the Central Military Commission and relevant directly and subordinate units, strengthen the overall management and use of resources, reduce the number of support institutions and personnel, and improve the efficiency of management and support.

Xia Jie, the director of the Military Intelligence Department, is mainly responsible for collecting military intelligence, weapons and equipment, and military trends of other countries, and providing the basis for the decision-making of the Military Commission.

On the whole, the responsible persons of various departments and organs have two characteristics: First, most of the responsible persons of various departments and organs are from the navy, and only Zhu Yaping, the responsible person of the War Department, is the army, which is also in line with the situation of crossing the army; strictly speaking, all the troops crossing through the army are navy, and there is no army; second, the majority of the 12 departments and organs are political work cadres; among the 12 departments and organs, except for the General Staff Department, the Navy Department, the War Department, and the Logistics Support Department, the remaining eight departments and organs are all responsible persons of the political commissars and deputy political commissars of the warships. The deputy captain has to be in reserve to serve as the commander of the future warship or fleet.

The establishment of six major functional departments and six directly subordinate organs has made the structure, functions, and organization of the Military Commission more complete, and the division of powers and responsibilities has been clear, which is also more conducive to the building of the People's Army in the future. Of course, only the internal organizational composition of the Central Military Commission has been perfected this time, and the external ones, such as the army's military regions, theaters, and group armies, and the navy's fleets, sub-fleets, and branch fleets, have not yet been planned and determined, but the basic structure of the Central Military Commission has been completely established, so it can be further improved slowly in the future.

Subsequently, the Military Council issued three more Military Commission orders.

At the same time, the leaders of all regiments and regiments need to strengthen supervision and inspection of the troops, and they must set strict demands on them and not be mere formalities, and the Central Military Commission will also carry out spot checks on each regiment from time to time. At the end of this year, the Central Military Commission will hold an all-army contest to check the training results of various units.

Second, it is to set up training courses for officers and political work cadres to provide training and education for officers and political work cadres at the platoon, company, and battalion levels. The officer training course and the political work cadre training course are not only open to crossing soldiers, but also to local soldiers, because at present, all officers at the platoon level are all local soldiers, and a small number of local soldiers with outstanding performance have been promoted to company officers, so their training should not be taken lightly.

Third, the system of soldiers' committees was implemented on a trial basis in the first, second, and third regiments. In addition, the company-level officers in these three regiments have already begun to be held by local soldiers, and the soldiers who have crossed the regiment have either been promoted to battalion-level officers or transferred to posts in new units, and they do not have direct control over the grass-roots units。

In accordance with the regulations of the Central Military Commission, the soldiers' committee is based on the company, and each squad elects one person (non-officer) as a member of the soldiers' committee to form the company soldiers' committee, and elects one company soldier executive committee member and one deputy executive committee member, and participates in the battalion soldiers' committee. Once a soldier is promoted to an officer, he will be automatically disqualified from the soldier commissioner, and another person will be selected in the squad to increase the ranks. The battalion soldiers' committee does not have a full-time executive committee, and the executive committee members of each company serve on a rotational basis.

The responsibilities of the soldiers' committees are: 1) to participate in the daily management of the army, 2) to maintain discipline in the army, 3) to supervise the economic situation of the army, 4) to carry out mass movements, and 5) to assist political cadres in the political education of soldiers; the soldiers' committees of all companies and battalions have the freedom to meet regularly and have the right to supervise and criticize officers, and officers at all levels are not allowed to interfere with the meetings of the soldiers' committees. Soldiers' committee members who find that there is a violation of discipline in the unit, whether a soldier or an officer, can report it to the company or battalion soldiers' committee, and the company and battalion soldiers' executive committee will gather and report to the regiment headquarters.

However, in order to prevent the emergence of extreme democratization and egalitarianism in the army, the soldiers' councils have only the power to supervise and not to enforce them, and can only report violations of discipline, while the decision on punishment should be carried out by the corresponding departments; the soldiers' councils have no right to discuss the decisions of the military commissaries, as well as major issues such as the training of the troops and military operations; and during the war, the regimental headquarters may order the temporary suspension of the activities of the soldiers' committees.
