Chapter 533: The Great Military Change

On January 1, 2020, the most important federal military change in the history of the Earth Federation kicked off with Li Baoqiang's order, and at the same time, the pace of the Federation's march into the universe began to accelerate.

At the high-level meeting of the federal army, Li Baoqiang announced that the federal army will be expanded by 200,000 troops in the next year, and the total number of federal troops will be controlled at 800,000.

Among them, the strength of the army has increased to 400,000, and the new 100,000 will establish a new type of space team.

At the same time, the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense were reorganized, the Tactical Missile Forces were merged into the Army, and the Strategic Missile Forces were merged into the Sky Air Force, the Navy continued to maintain its original strength at 200,000, and the number of the Sky Air Force increased to 200,000.

The federal soldiers in the audience were in an uproar.

The senior admiral of the Navy did not make much noise because of the experience of Konoha and kept his calm.

And the generals of the army and the sky air force were extremely excited.

Compared with the original number of personnel, the expansion of the army and the aerospace air force is extremely large, and the significance is extraordinary.

The new 100,000 troops added to the army are a new type of force, the space team, which means that the army can not only fight on earth, but also play an important role in the space exploration that it will face.

With the advent of the aerospace age, the Sky Air Force has occupied the military commanding heights in one fell swoop, and any disturbance on the earth has been firmly watched by the Sky Air Force.

At the same time, in the next cosmic march, the Sky Air Force is also the protagonist.

Although some people have long expected that Li Baoqiang will implement military reform in 2020, no one expected that Li Baoqiang's actions would be so big and the intensity of reform would be so great.

Among them, the most concerned is the content of reform.

Military reform is mainly divided into three aspects: First, the reform of the army's administrative and military command system, second, the adjustment of the services and arms, and third, the reform of military ranks and ranks.

The reform of the military's administrative and military command systems is mainly embodied in two aspects.

First, the role of the Ministry of Defense has been strengthened, and it has been clarified that the Minister of Defense can only be civilian officials, including retired military personnel.

The functions and powers of the Ministry of National Defense have been strengthened, and the functions and powers of the Ministry of National Defense have been transformed from a single civilian department into the highest management department of the federal armed forces, which is responsible for the military budget, arms procurement, job transfers, personnel appointments and dismissals, and other matters.

The authority of the General Staff Headquarters has been clearly defined, and it has been transformed from a comprehensive department integrating management and command into a specialized military command department, which is only responsible for drawing up operational plans, arranging exercises and drills, and directing operations.

After the completion of the reform, the Ministry of Defense will become the third largest department after the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the General Staff will become a purely military department directly responsible to the President of the Federation after the State Department.

It can be said that this is the core content of this military reform.

There is only one purpose in strengthening the functions and powers of the Ministry of Defense and clarifying the authority of the General Staff: to strengthen the control of the Federation over the armed forces, especially the main combat forces, so that every army will be directly subordinate to the President of the Federation.

In order to achieve this, the establishment of the army must be adjusted.

The Federal Army has a group army of 40,000 people stationed in each of the seven states, and each group army has eight mixed armored brigades.

Thanks to the new sustainable electric power, the vehicle can travel infinitely at speeds of up to 200 kilometers per hour, so you don't have to worry about fuel.

Officers and men of the army immediately fell in love with this new type of combat vehicle.

And the soldier's individual weapon, which is almost a laser gun of water, which combines alien technology and earth human technology, is even more refreshing.

After the completion of the reform of the Army, the Army, which originally focused on local defense, was transformed into an armed force that can not only fight on the earth, but also realize the space force that can fight on unknown planets.

The new 100,000 people are even more colorful, and their equipment belongs to a new type of individual combat system, which is divided into a personal protection module, a full-time information communication module, and a single combat module, so that each soldier can become a combat unit with strong combat effectiveness and sufficient real-time information transmission on the battlefield.

The establishment of the Navy has remained basically unchanged, but the combat strength has been greatly strengthened, and new types of equipment have finally appeared.

This made the senior admirals of the Navy breathe a sigh of relief, since the unification of the earth and the occupation of the supreme point of the Sky Air Force, the navy has almost become a chicken rib.

A new type of ship also excites the officers and men of the Navy.

A new type of sea fortress that integrates the functions of submarines and surface ships is also dazzling.

It can not only dive into the deep sea, sneak underwater, but also surface to sail, and at the same time can release the retained naval aviation new-type fighter group, and can also install marines, and a new-type ship can also play the role of the army, space, and air force.

The navy has become the only one with three arms of the navy, the army and the air force, and it can be said that on the surface of the earth, the navy is still a behemoth with fierce combat power.

This made Li Dayong, the newly appointed commander of the navy, very satisfied.

The Sky Air Force became the absolute main force of the Federal Army.

The strength of combat effectiveness does not depend on the number of people, but on the position occupied, as well as the level of science and technology.

Obviously, the Sky Air Force has become the sole hegemon in terms of its superiority in high altitude and in terms of scientific and technological content.

Geosynchronous orbit weapon fortress, laser cannon can achieve space strikes to any corner of the earth at any time, which can be regarded as a strategic attack weapon of the sky air force.

And the space fighter platform, or the real aircraft carrier, has become a space airfield for new unmanned (controlled) fighters, and the airfield on the earth has long been a relic of history.

And the space battleship cruising on the periphery of the moon base is simply a moving city, a space battleship that can accommodate 50,000 to 100,000 people, and it is full of laser cannons and particle cannons, which are heavily armed.

The radar reconnaissance fighters and attack fighters that take off at any time on the space battleship are flying in the vast universe, of course, the distance is not very far from the earth, but it is enough for these pilots to toss.

As far as Li Baoqiang and the Sky Air Force Command are concerned, the reform of the Space Air Force is the most important task in the great military reform, and this is the basis for the realization of space navigation.

Compared with the army and navy, the reform of the space air force is more complex and more critical.

As the backbone of the aerospace age and as a strategic force controlling the earth, the reform of the space air force is directly related to the safety of the Earth Federation.

The reform of military ranks and ranks is mainly divided into two aspects.

The first is to raise awareness of military ranks and clarify the difference between military ranks and military positions.

The allowances, benefits, and other benefits of military personnel are mainly determined by military rank, while the command authority of military personnel is determined by military rank.

To this end, the federal army will abolish the rank of colonel, add the rank of brigadier general, establish a four-grade and tenth-class non-commissioned officer, improve the status and treatment of technical and professional soldiers, and encourage technical and professional soldiers to serve for a long time.

Second, it is necessary to reduce the number of middle- and high-ranking officers on a large scale and increase the ratio of grassroots officers to noncommissioned officers.

The ratio of officers and non-commissioned officers will account for two-fifths of the entire Union Army, while the remaining one-tenth and a half will be two-year conscripts, and the rest will be middle and senior officers.

The reform of military ranks and ranks is mainly aimed at the high demands on personnel in future high-tech warfare, and by expanding the proportion of grass-roots officers and non-commissioned officers, improving the treatment of military personnel and increasing the proportion of non-commissioned officers.

Although this has something to do with Li Baoqiang's background as a non-commissioned officer, military experts very much agree with and appreciate that the huge contingent of non-commissioned officers has promoted a big step forward in the process of professionalizing military personnel, and at the same time, it is more conducive to the stability of the army.

All the officers and soldiers who have not been laid off have reaped tangible benefits through the reform, and the soldiers have truly become citizens of the earth with dignity and status.

The main purpose of Li Baoqiang's military reform is to strengthen the Federation's ability to control the army, increase the influence of the Federation Chairman in the army, and create a capable and powerful armed force.

This is also two years later, Li Baoqiang stepped down and handed over a big gift to the new chairman of the federation, but the successor chairman of the federation is not a candidate, Li Baoqiang has no candidate for the time being, he needs to further investigate,
