Chapter 2047: Future and Destiny

Chang'an, Xiaonanhai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info--net.

When An Yi received Xia Jian's telegram, he was discussing issues such as revising the ranks of An Jiajun with Jiang Yunshan, Xu Ziliang, Hu Jialin, Zhou Chongan, Dong Fuchuan, Yang Jie, Zhan Dao, Deng Bin and other dignitaries and generals in the small conference room of the Qinzheng Building of the Zhizheng Hall.

It has been more than five years since the Anjia army went south in 37 years, and due to the continuous wars, most of the major generals and a small number of colonels at the beginning are now crowded at the level of lieutenant generals, and the lieutenant colonels and a small number of majors are now also promoted because of merit and become generals, and the original batch of generals, with the successive promotion of more than ten lieutenant generals, now have to share the glory with their former subordinates.

The war will continue for a few more years, and military exploits will continue to accumulate in the future, and if the military rank system is not revised, the enthusiasm of the officers and men will be greatly dampened.

After An Yi threw out the issue, there was silence in the conference room. Since it involves the army, no one dares to speak lightly. Seeing this, An Yi had no choice but to name everyone to express their views.

Hu Jialin believes that it is sufficient to maintain the status quo, because although they have the same military ranks, their positions are different, and this does not affect the unity of military orders and government orders of the army.

Jiang Yunshan believed that it was possible to increase military ranks, but it was necessary to take a long-term view, refer to the qualifications of the generals, and take into account the interests of all parties, so as to avoid confusion or a situation in which the tail could not be lost in the future.

Xu Ziliang said that he had not thought it through yet, and first listened to the opinions of others.

After Zhou Chongan and Dong Fuchuan discussed, they referred to the opinions of Yang Jie, Zhan Dao, Deng Bin and other generals, and asked if it was possible to refer to the military system of the Americans and set the stars for the generals, that is, to divide the generals into five levels, from one-star generals to five-star generals, so that it is enough to distinguish the generals at all levels, and the highest five-star generals represent the greatest glory and authority.

"If the admiral is only proposed to make such a distinction, it will undoubtedly reduce the meaning of the admiral itself and bring about greater confusion." Hu Jialin again raised objections.

"Everyone, okay?"

An Yi saw that there was no suitable suggestion for a long time, so he had to put forward his own idea: "I am going to add the rank of colonel above the colonel to increase the difficulty of being promoted to general." In the future, under normal circumstances, cadres at the regimental level will have the rank of colonel or lieutenant colonel, the military and political chief of the division level will be major generals, and the rest of the deputy division commanders and chiefs of staff will have the rank of colonel or colonel.

"As long as the post of lieutenant general is used for the main post of each group army, in principle, the deputy post and chief of staff are major generals, and the rank of the person in charge of each department is not limited. At present, generals are mainly members of the Central Military Commission, commanders of various armies and military regions, and leaders of the three general departments; in principle, the deputy posts, chiefs of staff, and lieutenant generals of various armies and military regions are held at the rank of lieutenant generals, and the heads of other departments are not limited in rank.

"Above the generals, I think it is possible to add the rank of general, with a maximum of ten generals, so that there will be a distance between the generals and the generals, the accumulated military merits will be useful, and the newly promoted lieutenant generals and generals will also have an enterprising direction. After the end of the war, I plan to set up the rank of marshal, up to 10 people, so that everyone will have the motivation to move forward. ”

Jiang Yunshan's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke out in agreement: "I agree, with such a goal, the generals at all levels in the army will definitely chase after me and go all out to fight every battle well, so as to form a good competitive situation!" Moreover, because they are in a competitive relationship with each other, they avoid forming gangs and factions, which is conducive to the unity and long-term peace and stability of the army! Meantime. Setting military ranks in this way is not only in line with Chinese tradition, but also clear at a glance, which is very practical! ”

Xu Ziliang's attitude towards the army has always been to look forward to An Yi, so he didn't talk too much nonsense, and only said three words: "I support!" ”

Although Hu Jialin knew that whether it was the rank of general or marshal, with his qualifications and current position, he was destined to have his own one in the future, but he still put forward different opinions:

"The rank of colonel and general can be established, but is it necessary to add the rank of marshal? After all, this is a very symbolic military rank, and where is the qualification of anyone else in the army except the chairman? Although at the Fifth National Political Consultative Conference in January, our armed forces were officially named the National Defense Forces, whether they are political dignitaries, generals, or journalists from various countries, they still refer to our armed forces as the Anjia Army. ”

An Yi was stunned, and then laughed dumbly, secretly moved by Hu Jialin's bravery and loyalty, he had to explain: "This kind of worry is unnecessary, if everyone is afraid of being lined up with me, then why not set up another generalissimo rank above the marshal?" And the rank of marshal is not linked to the actual position, how should it be or what, like the current Soviet Union, did several marshals threaten Stalin's position?

"Our country has been established for a very short time, and most of the inhabitants of the country are immigrants from within the country, and the new generation is still in its infancy due to the arrival of the population wave, and it will take time for them to grow up. Because of this, our people are not enough of the centripetal force and cohesion of this country, and they do not have the consciousness of being the masters of their own affairs, let alone how to exercise their power, and they still have a natural fear of foreigners in their bones.

"If it weren't for that, I wouldn't even want to be the generalissimo. In the minds of the people, the army is the guarantee of the stability of a country's political power, and without an iron-clad and indomitable army, I am afraid that the people will not have enough confidence in our government, and they will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment. For a long time to come, it is impossible to nationalize the armed forces, the party's command gun will continue to exist for a long time, and the Central Military Commission will continue to exercise leadership and command functions.

"In this case, I don't believe that those generals who have ascended to high positions will betray me!"

An Yi's last sentence was categorical, full of confidence and domineering.

Zhan Zhi, who is responsible for the political and ideological work of the whole army, added: "There is no problem that the army has always been placed under the leadership of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission with the chairman as the core! We have always been very strict in our military's political and ideological education, and from the company level onwards, we have set up party branches and soldiers' committees, and have used the chairman's nationalist ideology to control the whole army, and have fully maintained the purity of the party organizations in the army, and the party branches have held weekly meetings, even in a state of war. In the meeting, criticism and self-criticism have become commonplace, and all the meeting minutes will be sorted out and reported, and we have special personnel to sort out and archive them in order to find problems in time.

The soldiers' committees, on the other hand, fully guarantee grassroots democracy in the army, so that the officers and soldiers can unanimously implement it. In the monthly democratic deliberations of the soldiers' committees, ordinary soldiers can challenge all the decisions of the military and political commanders, and if it turns out that the military and political commanders are wrong, we will reward the soldiers who raise objections and record them in the merit book, which not only mobilizes the enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers, but also prevents the army from becoming the private property of the officers. ”

Yang Jie said with emotion: "To be honest, our army is the purest and most unlikely to rebel team I have ever seen!" Strict military discipline has enabled us to win the heartfelt support of the common people, and the families of military personnel have also been properly taken care of by governments at all levels and the Military Management Commission. So far, joining the army has been consciously voluntary, and there has been no phenomenon of arresting strong men at all.

"What is particularly valuable is that our army has completely put an end to the phenomenon of beating and scolding soldiers that was prevalent in the old army, and through constant correction and learning, those 'disobedient' soldiers have always exerted their subjective initiative and creativity in battle, and while they have been criticized and educated in democratic deliberations, they have quickly grown into our grassroots commanders, and then they have used their own learning and experience to help others.

At the same time, because of the close ties with the masses, our army and the common people have always maintained a friendship like fish and water, and the good news of the servicemen has been transmitted to the localities, and the faces of the military families are bright, and when the servicemen are transferred to other jobs, the localities are properly resettled, and when the army is trained, it is warmly welcomed by the people, and when the army's good news is frequently reported, it has won the heartfelt support of the people...... It's hard to imagine that such an army would rebel? You must know that once you rebel, you will be completely isolated and spurned by the common people, and you will completely lose morally, and you will have no future at all! ”

Deng Bin also said: "Yes, we don't have the conditions for the nationalization of the army at all. First of all, our political power was won alive from the hands of the great powers, whether it is French Annan, British Burma, India and Malaya, or even the former Soviet Union's Siberia, Central Asia and the Far East, there are a large number of foreign forces hostile to us, once these hostile forces collude, if we do not firmly grasp the army, then whether it is our cause or our personal and property safety, the future will be bleak!

"Secondly, although we all promote that the Jing, Siamese and other ethnic groups are members of the Chinese nation, in essence, these ethnic groups have been ** for a long time, and they have ** blood hidden in their bones. Although we have defeated the French, Soviet, Japanese and German armies successively, and played a great reputation in the international community, so that every citizen has a strong sense of national self-esteem and pride, and at the same time, the lives of these nationalities have been greatly improved, and they have the right to receive education and enjoy subsistence allowance and some free medical care, perhaps they will recognize themselves as a member of the Chinese nation for a while!

"But when the future is peaceful, those white people who will not die will definitely try some way to provoke the relations between the various ethnic groups in our country. People are forgetful, no one can guarantee that there will be a nation of people harboring evil intentions among these nations, when the time comes, we will hand over the army to the state, and these people with the best thinking come to power through elections, control the army according to the law, or occupy a majority in the local council, they can completely achieve their goals by amending laws and regulations, or simply rebel, and we can only passively be controlled by others.

"Third, once the armed forces are handed over to the state, the political departments in the armed forces will inevitably be abolished, so that the political and ideological education work that the armed forces have always adhered to will no longer exist, and being a soldier will become a profession like ordinary work, and there will no longer be any lofty missions, still less close ties with the masses, and the originally harmonious military-civilian relations will no longer exist. The combat effectiveness of such a force cannot be guaranteed at all, and once faced with a state of war, who will defend the security of the country and the people?

"There are many similar problems, therefore, for a fairly long period of time, we must stress that the party's leadership over the armed forces must be absolute and comprehensive, and by no means simply engage in ideological education work, but also encompass all aspects of the armed forces. At least until the people are truly conscious, we must ensure that the armed forces are placed under the absolute leadership of the Party, unconditionally carry out the Party's decisions, implement the Party's line, principles and policies, fulfill the functions and tasks entrusted by the Party, and always become an armed force for carrying out the Party's revolutionary political tasks. ”

"Don't worry, I have a greater sense of crisis than you on this point, and I will definitely not collapse without a fight in order to cater to the claims of some people or the appeals of various political forces at home and abroad! Let's get back to business......"

An Yi stood up: "After the establishment of the rank of marshal, not necessarily all marshals will continue to lead troops, after all, in peacetime, it is impossible to maintain so many troops all the time, we now have a total strength of about seven million people, at least half of the army and air force will be disarmed in the future, many generals and colonels will be transferred to local areas, and we have only set up military management committees in so many provinces, which are for our military cadres." ”

"That's good!" Hu Jialin nodded with relief and did not express any further opinions. Everyone else supported An Yi's suggestion, and the matter was settled.

Just as An Yi was about to announce the dismissal of the meeting, the confidential secretary walked into the conference room and handed him an urgent telegram.

An Yi was very surprised after reading it, he thought about it, but still handed the telegram to Hu Jialin, and waited for all the participants to read it in turn before saying: "This matter must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise let the British, Americans and even the Free French know that they will definitely take action against Madagascar, Seychelles, Mauritius and other Indian Ocean islands as soon as possible."

"It seems that the scale of this review ship is going to be greatly reduced...... I am ready to agree to Xia Jian's request, and when the weather improves, I will immediately launch a wave of tentative landing operations on the island of Ceylon, and once it is confirmed that the main force of the Japanese army has withdrawn, the entire Indian Ocean Fleet and the Pacific Fleet will immediately be dispatched to quietly take down the Maldives, Chagos Archipelago, Seychelles, Mauritius and Reunion Islands, and finally launch a landing campaign on the island of Madagascar with great fanfare!

"The whole operation was required to be completed within two months...... This parade will be carried out by the Beibu Gulf Fleet and the Nanhua Bay Fleet! ”
