Chapter 464: Rocket-like promotion

In the tradition of the Southern Navy, it is almost impossible to use surrendered officers, and it is even said that surrendered officers are used by their own families, even if they are pulling out seedlings to help them, they only use their own people.

There are 90,000 more regular army members all of a sudden, but there are a lot of more positions here, and there are three more army commanders alone, namely the commanders of the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Third Cavalry Army.

There are temporarily five infantry divisions, two cavalry divisions and an artillery brigade under the three corps, so this can produce seven division commanders, seven deputy division commanders, seven division chiefs of staff, and there will also be eleven brigade commanders, eleven deputy brigade commanders, and eleven brigade chiefs of staff.

Not to mention that there are a large number of regiment commanders, deputy regiment commanders, regimental chiefs of staff, battalion commanders, deputy battalion commanders, company commanders, deputy company commanders, platoon commanders and other more middle-level and grass-roots positions.

Even for non-commissioned officers and soldiers, there is an opportunity to transfer to a new unit as a more senior sergeant.

And when these people take up their posts in the newly expanded troops, the positions they vacate also need to be filled.

This means that a large number of officers, as well as key cadres and even ordinary soldiers, have been given the opportunity to be promoted.

The army has expanded, and everyone has been promoted, which is naturally a good thing.

However, for the officials of the Quanxu Division of the Headquarters, this is a troublesome matter, and the transfer and promotion are nothing, and the key point is that the qualifications of many middle and senior officers are too shallow.

Especially those generals, often many of them have only been in the army for a year or two, because of the shortage of manpower, many officers have a little performance, and the speed of promotion is like making rockets.

Ye Keming, the commander of the newly formed Seventh Army, is like this, this gentleman is only twenty-two years old, really speaking, he only graduated in the second half of the year before last year and entered the army to serve, and after a month of service, he was a meritorious service and the army was expanding at that time, so one month after graduation, he became the commander of the young doctor's battalion, and three months later, the army was expanded again, and he became the head of the middle doctor, and a month later, the middle doctor became the upper doctor.

In June last year, he was promoted to the commander of the Fourth Brigade, and he was promoted to the rank of military commander of Shaoqing, and continued to make meritorious contributions in follow-up operations, and served as the commander of the 13th Division this year.

The eastward advance operation played well, and with new units such as the 13th Division, it achieved the results of elite troops, which can be said to be the most eye-catching performance among the many senior generals in the eastward march this time.

Lin Ziran is still very optimistic about this Jun's command talent, and this time he simply asked him to serve as the commander of the Seventh Army in the reorganization of the new troops.

Strictly calculated, the actual service time of this gentleman in the army is only less than two years.

A military commander who is only twenty-two years old, even if he looks at the entire Daheng, will only appear in the Southern Navy.

Because, there is no other army that will expand so quickly as the South China Navy, and resolutely only use officers trained by themselves.

The promotion speed of many generals is too fast, and it also causes their military lords to rise too quickly, so that it seems that the military titles of their Southern Navy generals are like child's play, with no gold content.

How to say it, it is too easy to come, and naturally it will not be valued.

And Lin Ziran also took into account, this reunification war has just begun, and now he will give a bunch of generals and even Zhongqing, Shangqing, how to seal it in the future?

In this case, Lin Ziran proposed a new solution according to the problems faced by the Quanxu Division, expanding the scope of matching positions and military lords, and improving the military lords with each position, such as the division commander, not necessarily the secretary of the middle, the secretary of the young secretary, and even the quasi-secretary when necessary.

The same is true for the military commander, it doesn't have to be a Zhongqing, Shangqing, or Shaoqing.

At the same time, the addition of the rank of quasi-secretary, the military lord is not included in the secretary rank, but it does not belong to the scholar doctor, but belongs to a separate level, which can also be interpreted as a reserve secretary.

The addition of the rank of deputy secretary is mainly to alleviate the current embarrassing situation of too many secretaries and officers in the South China Navy.

At present, in order to facilitate expansion, the units at all levels in the South China Navy have a relatively large number of deputy posts.

In an army, there is a deputy commander, and there is also a chief of staff and a deputy chief of staff.

There are also deputy division commanders, division chiefs of staff, and deputy chiefs of staff in the division.

Even brigade battalions.

However, if all these deputy positions are given to senior military lords, it is easy to have a situation where generals are flying all over the sky.

For this purpose, a brigadier was added, and the follow-up plan was awarded to the newly promoted brigade commander, deputy division commander, and division chief of staff.

Lin Ziran plans to change the current situation that there is a Zhongqing division commander in each division and several junior secretaries and deputies, this one division is like this, and the infantry and cavalry divisions in the Southern Navy add up to more than 30, plus the army-level troops, there are too many officers.

An infantry division is only 10,000 people, and there is no need for so many generals above the secretary level, but it is not suitable for the deputy division commander and brigade commander to directly use military lords such as doctors, so add a quasi-secretary.

However, although a new Junjug Qing military knight was set, and Lin Ziran also instructed the Quanxu Division, if the doctor continues to be promoted to the position of brigade commander, deputy division commander or division chief of staff in the future, he can only be awarded the Junggarqing military knighthood.

Similarly, if he is promoted to division commander in the future, he can only give it to Shaoqing, not Zhongqing.

Of course, these are only limited to the follow-up newly promoted, and the existing Shaoqing Brigade Commander, Zhongqing Division Commander and the like, remain unchanged and will be slowly and gradually digested in the future.

The issue of military lords, this is just a small problem encountered by Lin Ziran in the process of expanding the army, and it is not even a problem, the real big problem is that the expansion speed is too fast, and there is a serious shortage of qualified middle and senior officers.

This has always been a problem in the Southern Navy, and it is a hard injury, as long as Lin Ziran does not need to surrender to the officers for a day, and continues to expand rapidly, this problem will always exist, and there is no way to solve it.

Even if Lin Ziran recruits tens of thousands of students to study in military academies in one go, at most he can solve the problem of grassroots officers in the future, but he still can't solve the problem of the lack of middle and senior officers.

The training of middle and high-ranking officers takes time and requires the accumulation of experience, and it is simply impossible to do it in a short period of time.

What Lin Ziran can do is to select as many seedlings as possible, then focus on cultivating, and finally drive ducks to the shelves, so that these young people who have only been in the army for a year or two can command a division, or even an army.

Occasionally, when they make mistakes in battle, Lin Ziran generally does not blame, but encourages them, and failure is also part of their growth.

However, this is limited to failures under normal circumstances, such as inexperience, command errors, etc., and does not include failures caused by special circumstances such as disobedience.

Lack of ability and inexperience, Lin Ziran can endure and tolerate the failure caused by this.

But if the defeat is caused by factors such as disobedience or desertion, Lin Ziran will be furious.

The commander of the first army, Lin Ziran, who held two states, launched a surge, which was very scary.
