It's a pity that he couldn't catch up with the restructuring ceremony this time. starters," Thorpe said.

"I don't necessarily can't catch up." Dongmen Blowing Rain said, suddenly realizing that he was a bit reckless in what he said, so he stopped talking.

It was as if they hadn't heard this. He Ming pointed to the document in front of him and said to Thorpe: "The memorandum you wrote about the mobilization system is very good and thorough, and we are all very satisfied. As you wrote in the memorandum: in addition to supplies and storage and transportation, the use of these human resources for the mobilization of the reserve is a top priority! Many people will only stare at that little material, but they never thought that our human resource utilization is so low. He looked down at the chart in his hand and continued: "The population of the entire Hainan under our control is about to reach 30~400,000, and the population we can directly control is only more than 100,000. Even in the core area of Lingao, except for the various migrant villages under the commune we set up, only Yanchang Village and the 18 Village areas have militias directly under our control, and the other militias are clan soldiers like Huangjiazhai who are half outside our control. Let's not talk about whether they are reliable or not, combat skills alone are of little value to us. Only some of the militias directly under the central government have combat experience. In the second anti-encirclement and suppression campaign against Chengmai, we could only dispatch 5 army battalions and 1 naval battalion. There is no other strategic reserve except the Navy - and this is very dangerous. The industrial and agricultural departments regard their workers as baby bumps, and no one wants to take them out for active duty until the moment of crisis. Therefore, the most pressing task at the moment is to mobilize and coordinate human resources, establish a sound reserve force and militia system, and set up local garrison units as soon as possible, so as to liberate the field army from routine garrison and lay a foundation for the next step of army expansion. ”

"In addition, the resource mobilization system in the newly occupied areas should also be implemented in the future. At present, the newly occupied territories are too rough and too coarse, and they are not conducive to the mobilization of large quantities of materials. Chen Haiyang added, and at the same time handed Thorpe a document, "This is the approval of the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command to agree with you to establish a strategic reserve of grain and forage, and you can find time to work with the comrades of the Planning Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Colonial Trade to make a plan and implement it immediately." ”

On April 30th, the joint meeting of the Fu Bo Army was held in the Army Auditorium of Mayuanbao, and the army and navy flags of the Fu Bo Army were hung in front of the auditorium: the official name is the Star Fist Red Flag, but everyone calls it the Iron Fist Burst Chrysanthemum Bloody Flag. The double-headed eagle emblem of the Fu Bo Army. The auditorium was crowded, in addition to the officers of the Fubo Army, the Navy and Army, there were also a large number of personnel from the industrial group, but there were relatively few veterans, and most of them were the backbone of the Jishu among the naturalized people. This time, the Executive Committee intends to have the naturalized people Jishu as the main force, and the patriarch is only responsible for supervision and guidance.

Blowing rain at the east gate sat on the rostrum and looked down, and the officers from the naturalized people were all sitting very upright, and the leather armed belts creaked. The patriarchs, on the other hand, were a bit casual, exchanging words with each other.

"Comrades, Rear Admiral Chen Haiyang, People's Commissar of the Navy, Rear Admiral He Ming, People's Commissar of the Army. Permanent Secretary of the General Staff Comrade Dongmen Fuyu. A stern-looking young lieutenant walked in through the door on the other side of the auditorium, spoke loudly, and then turned to salute. Chen Haiyang, He Ming, and Dongmen Fuyu walked in, and the officers and Jishu officers quickly stood up and saluted.

"You may be seated, comrades." Chen Haiyang sat down in the middle of the rostrum and waved everyone to take a seat. Dongmen Fuyu sat on his left as the secretary of the General Staff, and He Ming sat on the right hand.

After waiting for the auditorium to be quiet at the east gate, he first stood up to greet Chen Haiyang and He Ming, and then said: "We will start the meeting now, and the meeting memorandum has been sent to you, please open it." ”

There is nothing new in the content of the meeting. The officers and Jishu personnel present here have more or less learned enough confidential content, and today's meeting is mainly for briefing, and more importantly, for the change of organization and department.

"First, with the approval of the Executive Committee, the Military Affairs Directorate will abolish the former Logistics Command and establish a joint logistics headquarters to be responsible for the procurement, transportation, storage, and security of logistics materials and equipment for the Navy and Army." After waiting for everyone to open the file, the east gate blows rain and reads the document aloud.

"The instruction is as follows: From May 1, 1631, the allocation of materials for all troops of the Fubo Army shall be the responsibility of the Joint Logistics Headquarters, and the main means of transport and logistics supply units in the army shall be under the dual command of the troops directly under it and the Joint Logistics Headquarters. All civilian and colonial trade department transports requisitioned in the theater of operations are automatically under the command of the Joint Logistics Headquarters. ”

This new group has made great progress compared with the previous way in which two veterans of the logistics command led a few staff officers to operate, and first of all, it has perfected its organization.

The so-called improvement of the organization means the expansion of the staffing level. The new version of the Joint Logistics Headquarters has four bureaux, because the army is now small and there are not enough high-ranking officers. It seemed inappropriate to let a group of lieutenants and captains occupy positions equivalent to the heads of the bureaus under the four headquarters, so it was decided to call only the group for the time being.

Personnel and Materials Group (Bureau): Responsible for the mobilization, distribution, and deployment of reservists and various materials, and coordinate with the civil affairs department on matters related to public relief.

Material and equipment procurement group (bureau): responsible for the design, production, inspection, procurement and warehousing of equipment and materials; It is also responsible for jointly handling the requisition, procurement and seizure of civilian materials with the civil affairs department.

Sea and land transportation group (bureau): responsible for the design, production, inspection and procurement of logistics transportation vehicles; take over and coordinate the use of naval and army transports; Responsible for the requisition of civilian and colonial trade transportation vehicles (including civilian husbands) in the war zone, and responsible for the planning and management of transportation routes and cargo flows.

Logistics Internal Security Group (Bureau): Responsible for the internal security of logistics warehousing and transportation. In wartime, combat units can be directly mobilized with the consent of the Joint Operations Command. ”

After the announcement of the establishment, it was the usual personnel appointment order: "With the approval of the Executive Committee and the Organization Department, Major Hong Huangnan is appointed as the head of the Joint Logistics Headquarters!" Major Thorpe was appointed Deputy Head of the Joint Logistics Headquarters. ”

Amid warm applause, Thorpe received the organ flag, the letter of appointment, and the sword of the commander of the unit from Chen Haiyang's hand. Since Hong Huangnan is not there, his set of outfits will be replaced by Thorpe.

"Do a good job, you will be the big butler of our army in the future." Chen Haiyang patted Thorpe on the shoulder and said, "Jihua is important, but execution is more important, and we look forward to your performance." ”

Thorpe silently saluted Chen Haiyang and several big leaders of the Volcanic Army on the rostrum, turned around and saluted everyone in the auditorium, and there was another wave of applause.

"Second, with the approval of the Executive Committee, the reserve mobilization system shall be established as follows: The reserve mobilization system consists of three parts: the militia, the national army (army), and the coast guard (navy). The militia is a mass armed organization that is not out of production, and under the command of the Senate and the Fu Bo Army, it undertakes combat readiness and defense combat tasks and assists in maintaining public order. The militia is the main source of reserve for the Fubo Army, the National Army, and the Coast Guard. The main responsibility of the National Army and the Coast Guard is to serve as the security defense and garrison work in the region under the command of the Senate and the Coast Guard, maintain social stability and participate in emergency rescue and disaster relief. The Volkswagen Army can call on units of the National Army and the Coast Guard to participate in combat operations in the theater of operations on a rotational basis of nine months. ”

The composition of the reserve is also the focus of debate among the elders, and there is no objection to the formation of a system composed of the militia and the armed police + reserve army similar to the old time and space. However, quite a number of veterans have called for the formation of reserve armies of various professional arms, on the grounds that artillery, engineers, and other professional arms are highly specialized and ordinary reservists cannot take on their responsibilities. Opponents cite the example of the German Army's extreme lack of manpower in the old World War II, while the reserve army of the Navy and Air Force was idle, and argued that the current human resources of Lingao could not support so many different establishments at the same time. The result of Zuihou's compromise was that the reserve army system was temporarily abolished, and each unit of the Fubo Army established its own support units (military stations), and the composition of the Nationalist Army was closer to that of the Fubo Army, because the navy was unwilling to share the title of the National Army with the army, and did not like to create a "maritime national army", and finally decided to use the navy of the national army called the "coast guard".

The Coast Guard is a branch of the armed forces that has existed for a long time -- but for a long time, the Coast Guard did not exist except for a sign and a bare-bones captain, Gao Xiaosong, and after this military restructuring, it will officially become an independent army.

The command and operational direction of the National Army and the Coast Guard remain under the responsibility of the Navy and Army. But in the future, they will become separate arms of the military.

"Third, the proposal for the standardization of transport containers and vehicles jointly proposed by the Joint Logistics Headquarters and the Ministry of Colonization and Trade shall be implemented with the approval of the Senate, the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command.

Although Wu Nanhai laughingly called it a job-grabbing job, Thorpe still insisted on his own opinion and insisted on the standardization of packaging dimensions and all space dimensions related to the circulation of goods to improve logistics and logistics efficiency. It involves all cargo packaging containers and vehicles, including the dimensions of the cargo space of railway wagons, trucks, ships, and even the design dimensions of warehouses and cargo stacking areas. All of a sudden, the elders of the industrial group complained that the existing specifications and drawings had to be modified, and the consumption of additional materials would have to be increased.
