Chapter 194: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (3)
"People may think that there is no war to fight in the future, but this is a wrong idea." Weser said something terrible in an incredibly relaxed tone.
Asking the office staff to pin a map to the blackboard, Weeser pointed to a large area marked on it, "North to the North Pole, South to the South Pole." This is the land of the future of China, and in order to achieve this goal, we will continue to fight for decades to come. ”
There are special color blocks marked, and the military commissars of the Liberation Army carefully looked at the Chinese territory drawn by Wei Ze. In the northwest, the Volga River is the boundary with Russia, in the southwest it is Madagascar as Chinese territory, and in East Africa such as Mozambique and Tanzania is marked with the words "future overseas grain production areas". To the northeast is Alaska, and to the east, almost as far as Hawaii, is marked with the words "I don't know if I can get it." To the southeast, including Australia and New Zealand, almost all islands in the Pacific Ocean are owned by China.
Compared to the future territory, the existing territory of the new government that inhabits it seems so small that it feels shabby to look at. Just after discussing Wei Ze's rank, the members of the Military Commission were originally in a good mood. Seeing such a vast future land, at least some people instinctively thought of the hardships of the 10,000-mile conquest. The Liberation Army has traveled tens of thousands of miles so far, but the future that Wei Ze pointed out will be more than 100,000 miles.
Wei Ze smiled: "I hope we can see the completion of this great cause before we die, the time is tight, the task is heavy, everyone has to work hard!" ”
The task was naturally heavy, but no one disputed the tight schedule. In the 21st century, 40 years old will be considered to be the time of righteousness. In 186X, 40 years old meant that the loess was buried in the chest. Fifteen years have passed since 1852, when a young man in his early twenties is about to turn 40. For example, Lin Asheng of the Public Procuratorate and Law Co., Ltd. celebrated his 40th birthday a few days ago with a not too luxurious but extremely high-level birthday. The real high-ranking officials went to dozens of places, and Lin Asheng also jokingly said that he had prepared all the shrouds.
"So this time I want to talk about the issue of the marshal. The fourth level of generals, major generals, lieutenant generals, Shangjiang, and generals, at the current level, I think it is estimated that it will be good to be able to reach Shangjiang. "As a generalissimo, Wei Ze is three levels higher than Shang Jiang, and if someone else is replaced, he may not really dare to say it so openly like this.
The meeting of the Military Commission was quiet for the time being, and no one felt that Wei Ze was looking down on everyone. Between Shangjiang and Marshal, Wei Ze took out the future map of China, and the meaning of this is very clear. Whoever wants to occupy the pinnacle of the army in the future will have to make a huge contribution in the future war.
Seeing that everyone was pondering, he said: "I talked to you about the First Five-Year Plan a while ago, and now I want to tell you why the Five-Year Plan was established and how this Five-Year Plan is operated. Realizing our future land, that's what the five-year plan is about......"
After three days of closed-door meetings, the Central Military Commission finally understood what the five-year plan was all about from the perspective of military personnel. To put it simply, the five-year plan is to concentrate on doing great things. Weeser's plan for China's military expansion over the next 30 years will be tended to involve state power every five years.
War is nothing more than sea and land, shipbuilding at sea and railroads on land, and these two major industries will receive a lot of investment from the state in the next 30 years. Weeser believes that the first five-year plan will undoubtedly increase grain production to meet domestic demand. The situation is different in each region, with plantations in the South China Sea and water conservancy and irrigation in China.
It's a super complex system, and as a modern person, Weeser has seen a lot of materials on China's Five-Year Plan. He is better than a gourd, and he can finally have an imaginary system. Imagination is actually based on insight, and the imagination of these guys from the Military Commission can't be compared with Wei Ze at all. At such times, they can only listen and understand as much as possible. It's not the turn of these guys to talk to Wei Ze air-to-air.
"The main task of the army in the next ten years turned out to be training and building railroads?" Army Commander Hu Chenghe was very surprised by the work assigned to the Army in the Five-Year Plan.
"If we can really build the railway to the border, our troops will push forward for tens or hundreds of miles. This is not a railway line, this is a railway network. Walking on legs, relying on horses, when will those heavy weapons go to the border? Shen Xin put forward his own understanding.
Hu Chenghe did not refute that the railroad and steamship had led to an explosive increase in the army's combat capability. As a person who has traveled thousands of miles, Hu Chenghe knows how much easier the current march is than the previous march. In the past, when you went out for hundreds of miles, you fell behind, you lost your foot, and all kinds of emergencies could affect your combat effectiveness. Now, thousands of miles away, as long as the troops obey the rules, when they set off, they will still have that carload of people when they arrive at the place. Coupled with the exchange of telegrams, the troops could easily know where they were thousands of miles away. Compared with such an outcome, ten years may not really be that difficult.
Wei Ze's First Five-Year Plan finally got the support of the Military Commission, and he also felt that the pressure was much less. At this point in time, if you don't want the contradiction to erupt to a certain point, you have to honestly transfer the contradiction. Establishing a long-term strategy for 30 years can in itself be an effective way to deflect contradictions. Although in a sense, the countries that are regarded as contradictions are a bit pitiful, but for the sake of China and for the sake of Wei Ze himself, they can only complain about their lack of ability.
It's just that those who should come will definitely come, and a comrade of the Central Military Commission raised a question, "What kind of power do generals at all levels enjoy?" Can there be a title or something? ”
There are plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future, which in itself solves everyone's concerns. A higher demand arose, and there was a desire to restore the aristocracy in the new government.
Looking at the guys from the Military Commission, Wei Ze saw that some people were looking forward to it, such as Hu Chenghe. Some people are restless and try to avoid Wei Ze's sight, such as Ke Gongyu.
Wei Ze retracted his gaze, and he asked, "Let me ask a question, if there is a title, what if the marquis meets the duke in our military commission?" What should the duke do when he sees the prince? ”
This question made the group of people with titles stunned, they just wanted to get the title, as for how to get along with others after getting the title, they really didn't think about it.
Without waiting for these people to sort out this clue, Wei Ze continued: "Ten years ago, the Manchu gang was on top, how did we treat these guys. In addition, there are now thousands of princes, dukes, and people with titles in the small court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which are all inherited for one or two hundred years. What is the use of this title system other than to make the Manchus constantly decay and degenerate? Comrades who want to establish a system of titles, I hope you can come up with a theory that justifies itself. ”
