Chapter 148: Exercise in Progress 2 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
This year's large-scale winter military training exercise is also about to begin, and Minister Li originally wanted to conduct a separate exercise and verify this operational command system.
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and when he coordinated the exercise with the General Staff Department, the General Staff gave a different opinion. Under normal circumstances, large-scale exercises, as well as the army's establishment, equipment, training, military service, mobilization, battlefield preparation, engineering construction, operational command, administrative management, and reserve force building, all need to be studied and approved by the General Staff Department.
It's not that Minister Li and the others have worked out a plan here, and then they can mobilize the army to conduct exercises. As a matter of fact, the General Staff Department, as the chief steward of the army, is also not allowed to mobilize the army, and they are also managed under the leadership of the Central Military Commission, and the last person to speak is still the Supreme Military Commission.
"Minister Li, you also know that our army conducts a large-scale winter training every year. The scale of your exercise this time is not a demonstration exercise, but a confrontational exercise. And it's also huge. It involves the issue of coordination between the three major military regions, so you can see if our departments can coordinate and integrate the two exercises, so that it is easier to coordinate. Leng Guohuai, director of the Military Training Department of the General Staff, said.
"Minister Leng, I understand what you said. However, this system verification can be said to be a highly confidential experiment, many weapons are not currently equipped with most units of our army, and you also know that once they join such a large-scale military exercise, it will not be easy to hide the eyes and ears of some people, and if it is a separate small-scale confrontation exercise, we will be able to control this risk to the minimum. "Minister Li also has his own reasons, not that he did not think of this big exercise.
"Minister Li, then your exercise may have to be postponed, after all, the winter training is an established project, if you add this project to yours, we have no specific arrangements in advance, you also said the importance of this exercise, so if you don't join this exercise temporarily, you have to wait until it is over, and we will negotiate the date." Minister Leng still didn't retreat, after all, he didn't have the ability to change this.
This was determined by the Supreme Military Commission, and they were only the executors, so Minister Li did not feel embarrassed about the Minister of Military Training after getting the news, and he needed to talk to people at a higher level.
"Okay, I get the idea." After saying that, Minister Li hung up the phone. It is impossible for him to go directly to the General Staff to find someone to negotiate this matter, one is that he does not have time, and a phone call is the best energy he can dedicate. There is also an unequal rank, if he goes to the military training minister of the General Staff directly this time, he will be suspected of oppressing people with power, and the chief of the general staff is not a vegetarian, and the General Staff is not under the jurisdiction of Minister Li, so he can only verify it from the side.
Big people are also distressed, ordinary people may think of a big chief like him, and if he wants to promote a project, isn't it just a matter of talking about it, if it was so easy, Huaxia would have broken through the solar system a long time ago.
There are rules in any system, and in this circle you have to abide by this rule, which is not a rule of the old cannon or something, and the basic rules to ensure the normal operation of a system. Otherwise, if they don't follow the rules, the fundamentals of governing will be undermined.
After putting down the phone, Minister Li's fingers tapped on the table, whether it was a joint exercise to expose some secret projects, or a separate exercise to postpone the progress of the project, these two ideas lingered in Minister Li's mind.
It's not that he doesn't know what to choose, but this project is about the general direction of military reform. If we can let our colleagues in the military see the advanced nature of this kind of reform, we will be able to quickly push forward the reform, and the reform will certainly not be smooth sailing, and the resistance here can only be felt by leaders like them who sit at the highest level, and the resistance comes from ordinary soldiers, middle-level officers, and veteran cadres in the army, as well as international interference.
The pace of the times requires us to carry out reforms, and if we are backward, we will be beaten, which is a golden rule that we have learned through many years of hardship, and the consequences of not changing can be seen when we raise our eyes, and the South China Sea incident is an example.
In the end, Minister Li still didn't make up his mind, don't look at him as the head of a department, he still needs someone to help him staff on major events. One person's short-term calculation will not be avoided just because you are a big official.
He picked up the phone and dialed a phone call, and after connecting, he said to the other side of the phone: "Lao Zhu, I still have some problems here about this exercise, about this exercise, whether we join this winter exercise or whether you special forces will conduct an experimental confrontation alone, you can tell me." ”
"I said Lao Li, are you busy and confused. Of course, it is with the big exercise, although the confrontation between them is indeed a fair confrontation according to what you think, but the opponent they have to face is not necessarily an opponent of the same level, it may be a large-scale corps operation, it may be a small group of special operations, all they need is to be able to formulate strategies and tactics after being proficient in this system, I think it is necessary for them to participate in this exercise. Commander Zhu gave his own opinion.
Of course, as for the leakage of secrets that Minister Li was concerned about, Commander Zhu's idea was what the army was doing, deterrence. Although it is not possible to produce the latest research results, it is necessary to show off your muscles appropriately.
This is an idea, in fact, this kind of idea is still relatively prevalent in the military, they may not pay much attention to the general strategic direction, but they do have a soft spot for showing their muscles. This is not our unique way of showing in China, and foreign countries will regularly release some signals about new weapons and technology, but the traditional thinking of our people may not cause us not to do this, and it is also because we must maintain the path of peaceful development.
One commander had already suggested this, and Minister Li communicated with the other two commanders, who also had the same meaning as the Yanjing Military Region, participating in the big exercise, not afraid of others snooping, after all, their troops would definitely encounter such and such situations in the future, and they didn't care about this time.
This time, Minister Li has made up his mind, so let's participate in this exercise, and once this project is successful, then the road to reform in the future may be smoother.
This time, he dialed the phone number of the chief of the General Staff, and since he had already decided, he should communicate directly with the person in question, so that the efficiency can be faster, and generally speaking, the leadership level of the General Staff and the General Political Department is higher, so Minister Li and others spoke in a more respectful tone when they were connected.
"Chief of Staff Liang, I'm Li Jihua of the General Armament." It's still very concise. Minister Liang on the other side also quickly replied: "Minister Li, I have already listened to Xiao Leng's report on your matter, what's the matter, you have a decision there?" ”
Although there is a half-level difference between the two at the administrative level, at this level, in fact, everyone is at the same level in comparison, and there will be nothing in all aspects of the dialogue.
"Yes, Minister Liang, I still need you to coordinate the participating troops, I want to add these three troops to this exercise, it is best to be able to fight separately, if not, try to arrange them to participate as opponents." Minister Li stated the purpose of the call.
"Haha, okay. I'll ask the director department to revise the exercise plan, and then their troops will just wait for the arrangement. Minister Liang didn't say anything, although the temporary joining of the exercise troops disrupted their overall arrangement, but for the sake of the development and progress of the army, there was nothing that could not be overcome.
"By the way, this still needs to be reported to the elders, although a few of us have passed, we still need to talk about it at the meeting, do you have any other requirements there, if there are any, we will complete the meeting together." Minister Liang added that after all, they are also a department under the leadership of the Central Military Commission, and they do not have the right to mobilize troops to participate in the exercise, and they have to pass the order of the Central Military Commission.
"There is nothing specific about women, it is the research and development team of this project, I think it is not to invite them to participate in this exercise, this project is developed by the University of Science and Technology, and it is completed by Academician Wang and his student Gao Cheng of the School of Computer Science. Minister Li finally planned to push Gao Cheng, after all, this kid does have some talents, and he can't just bury them.
"Okay, the specific exercise matters have nothing to do with the overall situation, let's go to the meeting first about the participation of the three special brigades." Minister Liang can't deny the specific participants proposed by Minister Li, as a big man, whether or not to participate is a matter of one sentence for him.
After the two communicated, Minister Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. This matter can be regarded as having been dealt with here, and the subsequent exercise verification is the final joint, and once it is verified, this will be a great news for our army's informationization reform.
Minister Li's matter here is put aside for the time being, our senior commander has now returned to the Seventh Steel Company, but after he returned, he found that the current company has him and does not seem to be the same, everyone's training passion was completely stimulated by his last time, and he didn't need to say anything at all, looking at their daily training and learning tasks, Gao Cheng wanted to give the soldiers a vacation.
On this day, Gao Cheng received an order from the regiment headquarters to report to the regiment headquarters, and he had been in the company as a mascot for a few days, and he happened to go to the regiment commander for some business, so he packed up and came to the regiment headquarters.
