Chapter 654: Taking Command
Guo Shucheng said seriously: "......, Vice Premier Yu, I need so many aspiring young people, that is, I want to let them go to the outside world." On the one hand, we want them to understand our country's backwardness, and on the other hand, we need them to understand that the country's backwardness can be changed, and as long as everyone works hard and finds the right way, our catching up with and surpassing the developed countries is not a slogan, let alone arrogance, but a real fact.
I don't want these people to suddenly change from 'everything is good in China, the Chinese are the happiest' to 'China is not good, everything is good in foreign countries, and the moon in foreign countries is rounded by China'. I hope that in the process of establishing and developing enterprises, they will establish a strong sense of national self-esteem and responsibility, and be able to have strong confidence in the future and destiny of the motherland. When they return, they will become supporters and a new force for reform, and I hope that they will have the means and ability to take the lead in carrying out various reforms, and will not embark on another road, the road of worshipping foreigners. If this batch of students is successfully trained, we can replace another batch of college students. ”
Yu Gangqiu asked: "Aren't the young people of today full of confidence in the fate and future of our country?" ”
Guo Shucheng asked rhetorically: "Do you really think so?" Do you really think they're not confused? Not hesitating? ”
Yu Gangqiu didn't speak again, but thought seriously, and after a while, he said, "I have to report this matter to the supreme chief. Your ideas have far exceeded our expectations, deeper and farther than we have thought. It's not just about improving lessons learned, it's about nurturing talents. Build a reserve force. At least I'm serious that this construction of yours has a very heavy meaning, although I can't agree to it now, but I have to say that your idea is good, and the starting point is also good. ”
Listening to Yu Gangqiu's praise, Guo Zhuocheng's face couldn't help but flush, and he said in his heart: I came from my previous life. I know the successes and mistakes of my past life. In his previous life, he was successful in enterprise reform and economic reform, and achieved great results. However, there are still shortcomings in some aspects, otherwise there would not have been that great turmoil, and there would not have been huge resistance in the 21 st century in terms of official supervision.
At the end of the conversation. Yu Gangqiu said: "If this is the case, then this company in the Middle East still needs higher-level leading comrades to take charge. ”
Guo Shucheng smiled: "As long as it's not an old-fashioned leader, I welcome anyone to go." ”
After Guo Zhuocheng returned to his unit, he only worked hard in the unit for one day before he was sent to the plane to Iran by a stern order from his superiors.
After hearing about the construction of the Basra front line by the Chinese Embassy, Iran immediately held urgent consultations with China, after which the Iranian side strongly requested China to send military experts to Tehran to discuss the current war with Iraq.
For the fighting of the Iran-Iraq war. The most familiar among the most proficient people is naturally Guo Zhuocheng. Out of a sense of guilt towards Iran, the central bigwigs, who also want to sell more weapons, naturally pushed Guo out of the way.
Guo Zhuocheng was a little speechless, but he was not afraid of anything, he readily accepted the order of his superiors.
Soon, he took Sun Xingguo to board a civil airliner.
It's just that there is no direct flight to Iran, and it is necessary to change planes in Jordan to reach it. It takes two days.
When he got off the plane the next day, he was greeted by Iran's deputy chief of general staff. After a few simple greetings, Guo Zhuocheng was immediately taken by a team of luxury cars to a huge courtyard in the capital, which was heavily guarded. Many high-ranking officers came in and out, without exception, looking at this young man with obvious Oriental characteristics. I wondered how he got here.
Guo ignored these glances, and followed the deputy chief of general staff into a large office with several high-ranking officials, and a huge military map spread out on a huge table, showing the military posture of Iran and Iraq at a glance.
After a short rest, a soldier in a colonel's uniform gave a detailed account of the situation at the front according to the order of the deputy chief of the general staff. After that, the Iranian military asked Guo Zhuocheng to make the necessary explanations about the previous report from the Chinese embassy.
Looking at the military map on the table and listening to the colonel's explanation, Guo Zhuocheng had a very strong idea in his heart that he wanted to take over their command and command the troops to fight, and he felt that these officers seemed to be a little far away from professional soldiers, let alone they were experienced, brave and resourceful senior generals.
He looked at the officer in front of him a little distractedly, and his thoughts drifted to the nine heavens cloud:
Iran came to power after overthrowing the Pahlavi dynasty. There was a purge of the old army, and many experienced officers were thrown into prison or shot because of their position. This situation is common to all dynastic changes, as the so-called "prosperity, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer". No matter who is in power, it is always the people below who suffer, and these officers have become cannon fodder.
It is precisely because the number of officers in the old dynasty has been greatly reduced, and the new officers have not been trained in a short period of time, that the officers and men of the Iranian army are not very high, and many high-ranking officers have not even undergone strict military training, and they have very little experience in serving as soldiers. It was precisely because of the current situation of the Iranian army that President Saddam Hussein of Iraq brazenly sent troops to try to conquer Iran as an old enemy in one fell swoop.
However, Saddam Hussein forgot that when a nation was invaded by foreign nationalities, even the greatest contradictions would temporarily unite and unite with the outside world, and after the successful regime change, countless radicals emerged, who fanatically and without hesitation rushed to the battlefield and blocked the iron hooves of Iraq with their lives. Countless young soldiers and countless death squads rushed to Iraq's tanks one after another with explosives (medicine) bags, blowing up seemingly invincible tanks into scrap metal.
Their sacrifice not only held back the Iraqi troops, but also defeated the Iraqi army one after another, initially turning the tide of the war, especially the battle of Basra, which surprised the world.
The dark clouds that had been hanging over the minds of the Iranian top brass were dispelled at once, and they finally reached the hope of counterattacking into enemy territory, and all the leaders were overjoyed.
But when the Uday tank unit lurking in the mountains came out, these leaders of Iran were a little dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that Iraq would have such a powerful tank force, they didn't know when they became an army, and they couldn't imagine that Iraq still had the money to buy such a pair of tanks.
It is good that the crowd tactic can defeat the Iraqi army, but it can only be used occasionally, and it is impossible to rely on the crowd tactic for a long time. After all, people cannot be resurrected after death, and if a soldier dies, there will be one less warrior.
Before and after the capture of Basra, Iran has already lost countless warriors, and if it launches several crowd tactics again in order to keep the newly occupied Basra, then Iran will be truly damaged, and without brave soldiers, how will it compete with Iraq in the future?
However, it was reluctant to get them to give up Basra, which they had so hard to occupy. The occupation of Basra would not only be of great military importance, but would cut off the retreat of Iraqi forces that had invaded their territory, leaving Abadan an an island and laying the foundation for future reclaim.
The occupation of Basra is of great political significance, indicating that Iran has achieved important phased results in opposing the invasion of Iraq, and can give great encouragement to the entire people.
Just when they were suffering from gains and losses and did not know what to do next, the Chinese word came: Give up Basra! Voluntary retreat back to the country.
The construction of the Chinese made the generals even more confused, with some loudly in favor and some firmly against. Those who agree with it consider it more from a military point of view: in the face of the sudden appearance of the Iraqi army, if they hold on, they will only lose both, which will greatly weaken the viability of the Iranian army, and the gains outweigh the losses. Only by taking the initiative to give up and preserve the vitality can we look for the next opportunity.
The resolute opposition is from a political point of view, because the success of the sneak attack on Basra and the prestige of the leader are now highly rising, and if he retreats under the pressure of the Iraqi army, this will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the prestige of the leader, and a huge blow to the morale that has just risen.
They argued for a long time, but they didn't make up their minds in the end.
Iran because of the state system, they opposed the Soviet Union and its allies, but also against the United States and its allies, and the Iranian high-level who had nowhere to ask thought about it and decided to ask the Chinese to help them with ideas.
Because in this world, apart from the Soviet Union and the United States, the two major military powers, only China has rich military experience, and they are only China, a friend with great international weight.
……
When Guo Zhuocheng's mind was not here, several Iranian officers were a little angry. Originally, they asked China to send military experts to help, but China sent such a young person, and they were already not satisfied. As a result, when the young man arrived, he looked absent-minded, which made them even more depressed.
A senior military officer said to Guo Zhuocheng: "I'm sorry, Mr. Guo, I want to ask if you really participated in your war to invade Vietnam?" And for the war to achieve outstanding military exploits? ”
Guo Shucheng finally came back to his senses, only to see his eyes roll, and said, "Your Excellency is looking for unpleasantness today, right?" When did our country invade Vietnam? If we punish Vietnam for the invasion, then I ask you, what is the current invasion of Iraq by your army? ”
The other party was stunned, he couldn't imagine that Guo Zhuocheng was so aggressive. He said dissatisfiedly: "I have to remind Mr. Guo that it was Iraq that invaded our country first, we counterattacked later, and now they are still occupying our Abadan." How can our country fight back against aggression with your invasion...... Attacking Vietnam is the same? (To be continued)
