Chapter 585: Navy Requests to Fight!
What kind of chaos will become in South Burma, Yang Weiping has no time to pay attention to it now.
Because, after the news of Sir John Young's stay in Villa 0 in Mid-Levels spread in Mandalay, officials from all walks of life who had just taken up the post of major departments and agencies of the North Burma government came to pay a visit.
There is no one who can be an official who is not as good as a ghost.
Before the founding ceremony of the new northern Burma, the first cabinet submitted nearly 100 plans for ministries and commissions, and Yang Jiasheng also agreed to the plan of the new cabinet at that time, but when he asked Yang Weiping for his opinion, Yang Weiping vetoed it. As a result, nearly 100 ministries and commissions shrank to 27 at once.
Yang Weiping's reason is very clear: The new government should have a new atmosphere, and it must bring forth the new. In the reform of the new policy, we should not only take the principle of streamlining the administration of the army with a lean army, but also pay attention to the new requirements that the further development of the economic structural reform may put forward on the establishment of government organs, strive to make the readjustment of the institutions provide favorable conditions for the deepening of the economic structural reform, withdraw and merge the economic management departments by a relatively large margin, and reform some of the units with mature conditions into economic organizations.
Yang Weiping stressed: Reform of government institutions is an important part of deepening the reform of the administrative system. In accordance with the principle of streamlining and unifying efficiency and the requirement that decision-making, execution, and supervision powers both restrain and coordinate with each other, we must strive to optimize the organizational structure, standardize the institutional setup, and improve the operational mechanism, so as to provide organizational guarantees for the comprehensive construction of a moderately prosperous society.
The overall goal of deepening the reform of the administrative system in North Burma is to establish a relatively complete capitalist social administrative management system with North Burmese characteristics by the year 2000.
There are 11 state government departments: the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of National Defence, the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Health, the State Ethnic Affairs Commission, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, the General Police Administration, the Federal General Directorate of Investigation and Security, the General Administration of Integrity and the General Audit Office.
There are 4 macro-control departments: the National Development and Reform Commission, the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Finance, and the Central Bank of North Myanmar.
There are 7 professional economic management departments: the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, the Ministry of Communications and Transport, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Water Resources, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, and the National Defense Science, Technology and Technology Industry Committee.
There are 5 departments for education, science and technology, culture, social security, and resource management: the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, and the Ministry of Land and Resources.
With such a change, many people's official hats are either gone. Or it's smaller.
Everyone knows that without the financial support of Sir Yang Da, there would be no establishment of the new regime in North Burma, and there would be no bright future for these newly promoted officials and nobles.
If they neglect this great god without paying attention, and don't allow Sir Yang to mention the streamlining of government again, they will have to resign and leave.
If the new policy in North Burma is to be implemented in an all-round way, it is inevitable that you will have to deal with these government officials. The face that should be given still has to be given, although Yang Weiping doesn't like this kind of entertainment, he can only cheer up and arrange for the meeting.
The first to come were officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, followed by the Ministry of Finance. Sent away the people from the Ministry of Finance. Again from the Ministry of Justice and the ICAC......
For five days, 10 national government departments, 4 macroeconomic regulation and control departments, and 7 professional economic management departments in North Burma were established. 5 educational, scientific, technological, cultural, social security and resource management departments. None of the main responsible officials of the 26 major national ministries and commissions of the government in North Myanmar are left behind. went to the dock one by one, which made the muscles on Yang Weiping's face almost stiffened by the "kind smile" he pretended.
"Finally cleared ......"
Yang Weiping sent the last wave of officials from the Ministry of Communications and Transportation out of his home, returned to the large living room, and sat down heavily on the sofa. His hands rubbed the muscles of his face and let out a long sigh.
"Boss, it's not necessarily pure!"
Manfered, who seemed to have his characteristic professional butler signature smile on his face forever, came in from outside, opened the schedule notebook in his hand, and said while looking at it: "There are also ambassadors and counselors of embassies in Mandalay, commanders of major military regions, commanders of the navy and air force, and twenty-four big bosses in Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan, all waiting for the boss to arrange an interview. ”
"Wei Ping, you have met the main officials of the government these days, those chief officials of the military are your old subordinates back then, they all wanted to see you as soon as possible, I took into account that the government work needs to be operated first, so I asked them to wait a while, not to worry about this time and a half. Qiu Fang, who was sitting opposite Yang Weiping, suddenly spoke, her voice was very soft, giving people an inexplicable feeling of closeness.
She has been personally presiding over the security work here these days, and she has arranged the order of the reception of the principal officials of the 26 government departments who have come to visit her.
Yang Weiping thought for a while, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, nodded and said, "In this way, Sister Fang, you inform Xiang Rong and Zhang Shufang that they will all come to the house for lunch tomorrow." They are all old brothers who started a business together back then, and they haven't seen each other for so many years, so they have to get together.
In addition, you can pick another day, in the name of Tiangong Group and Panshi Security Company, find a hotel with a higher standard to hold a cocktail party, and by the way, invite those big bosses from Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan who have come to invest in Northern Myanmar. Since these Chinese tycoons have given me someone Yang face like this, of course we have to find an opportunity to thank others, which will also promote the future investment promotion work of Northern Myanmar. ”
Qiu Fang nodded lightly when she heard this, smiled and turned her face to look at the big butler Manfred.
Manfred nodded knowingly, hesitated for a moment, and made a suggestion: "Madame is still thoughtful, but, boss, I think it is more sincere to hold it at home than to find a place to hold a banquet outside." The home is large enough to hold a cold dinner and drinking party for hundreds of people without being crowded.
If friends from the North Burmese military community are allowed to attend with the ambassadors of various countries, this can also allow the ambassadors and investors of various countries to truly see the boss's influence on the North Burmese military circles, and perhaps this will be more helpful for the boss's next actions. ”
"Wei Ping, I think Manfred is more appropriate to arrange it this way. Qiu Fang said: "From a security point of view, the security work of the villa area. More comprehensive and reliable security than any major hotel in Mandalay. ”
Yang Weiping pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Well, what Lao Man said makes sense, my time is very precious, and I can't waste more in these endless social interactions.
It's not that I'm putting on a stinky shelf, it's that I really don't want my time to be wasted on this kind of social activity. Now that the north and Burma are waiting to be prosperous, and the threat from the south is everywhere, it is not yet the time for us to enjoy peace, and it is far more painstaking and energetic to defend the country than to fight the country. ”
"Then it's decided. Old Man. You go and arrange it!" Qiu Fang carefully advised: "Invite all the people who should be invited, there are not enough people to entertain the attendants, and I will let the people from the Investigation Bureau fill them." You add it up and see how many people you need to arrange. ”
"Yes, ma'am. Manfred replied respectfully. Exit the living room.
Yang Xinru walked in from outside at this time. "Wei Ping. Sister Fang, General Xiang Rong, Minister of National Defense, has arrived!"
Yang Weiping was stunned, then got up and said, "Please!"
Qiu Fang came over and straightened out the dark blue embroidered Tang costume on Yang Weiping's body. The two of them walked out the door together.
Xiang Rong, who was dressed in a straight white dress of the admiral of the Northern Burmese People's Army, strode under the double of the adjutant and a lieutenant general, stood in front of Yang Weiping and Qiu Fang, saluted, and said loudly: "Boss, Director Qiu, veteran Xiang Rong, come to report!"
Today's Xiang Rong no longer has the local atmosphere of the peasants in the northwest mountainous areas of the past, with a white big-brimmed hat, white tops and trousers, and white leather shoes, which make him full of a unique iron-blooded killing temperament of a professional soldier, and his swarthy face looks particularly resolute.
Yang Weiping stretched out his hand and shook Xiang Rong tightly, and then gave the other party a warm hug, "Hahaha! Old Xiang, you have changed a lot, you are wearing a general's uniform, if you meet it on the road, I won't dare to recognize it if you don't say it." ”
The standard military uniform of the Northern Burmese People's Army is somewhat similar to the Huaxia 81 military uniform, except for the chest label, nameplate, cap badge, collar badge and armband.
The fact that the Minister of National Defense is an admiral fully highlights the grand goal of the North Burmese People's Army to build a large navy.
"Boss, Xiang Rong can have today, it's all from you!" Xiang Rong saluted Yang Weiping again, and said firmly: "Without you, Xiang Rong would still be an old farmer in the mountainous area of northwest China today!"
"Ah Rong, you can't say that. Yang Weiping smiled kindly: "I just took you to debut, and your current achievements are all based on your hard work." ”
Xiang Rong shook his head solemnly and solemnly and said: "No! Boss, without your support and teachings, there would be no glory of the Rock Mercenary Army, let alone the formation of the Northern Burmese People's Army! No matter when and where, the 300,000 officers and soldiers of the Northern Burma People's Army always remember that you are the supreme leader of the Northern Burmese People's Army!"
"Hello boss!" Xiang Rong's lieutenant colonel and the other vice admiral saluted Yang Weiping in unison.
Yang Weiping smiled and nodded, his eyes fell on the vice admiral's face, first stunned, and then smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, you are the captain of the Rock Fleet No. 003 destroyer, Shi Zhenhaishi, right?"
"Yes! Shi Zhenhai replied very excitedly: "Boss, your memory is really good." ”
"Wei Ping, Zhenhai is now the Deputy Minister of Defense of North Burma and the Commander of the Navy of the North Burma People's Army. Xiang Rong introduced at the right time.
"Commander Shi, do a good job, whether the North Burmese Navy can become a blue-water navy that can be used as a mainstay in the future, the burden on your body is not light!" Yang Weiping looked at Shi Zhenhai with deep meaning, stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder twice.
Shi Zhenhai nodded in understanding, saluted with his chest, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, boss, there are 1,500 officers and soldiers in the mainstay, and all actions are under your command!"
Yang Weiping nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good! I don't listen to guarantees, I only look at actions." ”
"Wei Ping, let's go into the house and talk again. Qiu Fang smiled and gave Yang Weiping a wake-up call.
"Ha Luha! patronize and be happy, Ah Rong, Zhenhai, please come in!" Yang Weiping called Ha Luha and invited Xiang Rong, Shi Zhenhai and others into the house.
Manfred had already arranged for his subordinates to set up tea sets in the living room, and everyone sat together cordially over tea and chatting.
"Boss, in addition to hard training, the construction of a modern navy must also experience actual combat and become more mature in the flames of war. Xiang Rong said with great regret: "This time, the British Royal Navy organized an expeditionary fleet and originally sent us an invitation, but I heard that the boss did not agree, but it was a pity that it was a great opportunity!"
"yes! Shi Zhenhai looked at Yang Weiping with hope in his eyes and said: "Although the aircraft carrier Baron John Yang is being refitted, our ships and submarine formations can fight at any time! Since the end of World War II, the navies of the countries of the world have not fought a real war. This Royal Navy expedition to the Falklands is such a great opportunity!"
"Hehe, I said Ah Rong, why are you in such a hurry to come to me, it turns out that this is for this!" Yang Weiping smiled noncommittally: "Wilson and Gerald have been looking for you a while now, right?"
Xiang Rong replied truthfully: "Yes, boss." The British military reassessed the strength of the Argentine Air Force and decided to increase the size of the expeditionary fleet, and they sincerely hoped that we would be able to fight with them in accordance with the agreement signed between Rock and the British Royal Navy. ”
Of course, Yang Weiping is well aware of the agreement signed between Panshi International Security Company and the British military back then. If it weren't for this agreement, the British wouldn't have arranged for so many officers and men from the former Royal Navy to join the rock. Not to mention that in the past two years, the Rock Fleet has added two transport and supply ships and two Admiral-class frigates.
The Panshi fleet has now been fully converted into the North Burmese Navy, including a former British Royal Navy Eagle-class Ark Royal R09 aircraft carrier, four Soviet modern-class missile destroyers, two British Navy Type 21 frigates (Admiral-class), a Soviet original Kilo-class conventional-powered submarine, two Chinese-made Song-class conventional-powered submarines, and four transport and medical supply ships of more than 5,000 tons.
Even if the aircraft carrier Baron Young cannot be used for war due to overhaul, if four Modern-class missile destroyers, two Admiral-class missile frigates, and two Song-class conventionally powered submarines can be allowed to join the British Expeditionary Fleet, the overall strength of the British Expeditionary Fleet can also be greatly enhanced.
It is said that Yang Weiping should not miss such a good opportunity for the actual combat of the modern navy. However, before the strength of the Argentine Air Force was consumed to a certain extent, he was absolutely reluctant to let such a small amount of money in his hands be used as cannon fodder for the British.
Even if the British government promised to bear all the battle damage, Yang Weiping would not agree to let the officers and men of the North Burma Navy risk their deaths.
No one knows better than him how lethal a fleet of labor-intensive expeditions will be caused by a large number of Qiang-5 B2 and FC-1 Thunder Dragons currently equipped by the Argentine Air Force, as well as a small number of FBC-1 Flying Leopards, supplemented by a large number of C802 series anti-ship missiles.
However, Xiang Rong and Shi Zhenhai were right, no matter how much time the navy spent on training, it could not be more valuable than the experience accumulated in a real battle. (To be continued......)
