Chapter 122 Armed Forces Inspectorate Department

Soon, the whole army was informed of the news, that is, several headquarters staff officers around Tan Feng were punished for dereliction of duty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info and was ordered to be sent to the troops. Later, Tan Feng added an order that in the future, staff departments at all levels should carry out exchanges between the upper and lower levels, and every year one-sixth of the staff officers should be delegated to serve at the grassroots level of the troops. As for the officers at the grassroots level of the troops, they can also have the opportunity to be transferred to higher staff departments.

This news made many grassroots officers also happy, because those staff officers were all the best in their daily lives, and it had already made many people feel that if the staff officers had been commanding from above, they might not necessarily know the grassroots level. As for those junior officers who were called around, they were not satisfied. Therefore, such a policy of communication between the upper and lower levels is conducive to increasing the centripetal force of the officers below, so that the army is very satisfied.

However, several penalties were announced. They are the punishments for those staff officers who have major demerits, so I won't say much about this. But the next punishment of a person shocked everyone.

"Chief of Staff Wang Jingwen has leadership responsibility for this matter and will be given a serious warning!"

"Who is so bold as to punish the chief of staff?"

The entire army knows that Wang Jingwen is not only the chief of staff, but she has real military exploits, and she is the woman of the commander Tan Feng, who would dare to punish him with such a dual identity? However, it seems that this is not a document signed by Commander Tan Feng, but a document signed by the Armed Forces Supervision Department, what is this?

"This Armed Forces Inspectorate, what the hell is this?"

Next, the army again saw a document, this one was an order on the creation of the Inspectorate of the Armed Forces. This Armed Forces Supervision Department is temporarily concurrently served by Commander Tan Feng, and this Armed Forces Supervision Department is responsible for supervising and supervising the implementation of the army's major orders, including the implementation of the army's rules and regulations, including the implementation of the army's various combat missions. In addition, the Armed Forces Inspectorate will send permanent inspectors to various units and major departments to conduct on-site inspections. The Ombudsman has the final say and is on an equal footing with the military operations chiefs of those military branches.

Next, the responsibilities of the Inspector General are highlighted, including supervising the implementation of various military orders and tasks, and only then will the Inspectorate of the Armed Forces supervise and supervise military regulations to see if there are any violations of the regulations. If someone violates the rules and regulations, they can also report to the higher supervision department for punishment.

However, if a serious military criminal law is committed, this department has no power to deal with it and must refer it to a military court to deal with it. However, this armed forces inspection department has great power, and can even punish officers at the level of chief of staff, but it is limited to punishment and cannot be punished.

"Isn't this the prison army? Why is there such a large-scale prison army? Many of the generals also exclaimed.

Many people who know a little bit about military history understand the tasks of this department, and they assume the departmental responsibilities of supervising the army. However, many people are also very worried about the prison army. Supervising the army is inevitable, but how to deal with it is also a problem. China has always had a lot of models of military supervision, but none of them have been successful. Can this inspector succeed?

At the headquarters, Tan Feng continued to supplement the duties of this inspector, which was designed in accordance with the powers and responsibilities of the political commissars of later generations.

"Commander, I don't think it's necessary to supervise the army. What's more, such a large-scale dispatch of the prison army, and even according to what you said, the prison army will be directly set up at the company level in the future, will this cause a lot of problems. You must know that in the past, the supervision army was set up when the high-level commander was in charge, but at that time it was already very troublesome. But isn't it unstable for everyone to do this? Xu Qifeng asked.

But Tan Feng replied: "Xu Qifeng, why do you think those prison guards in the past had problems?" What's the biggest problem? Why did there be so many problems in the past military supervision system, and what caused them to not be able to take the initiative to unite? ”

Xu Qifeng shook his head, obviously he didn't understand this and that question, he used to be a Mongolian herdsman, although he later made up a lot of culture, but he didn't have much advanced knowledge. Although Xu Qifeng understood that it was easy for the prison army to delay things, he didn't move on to why he didn't move.

Those other staff officers of the Wang family also looked at Tan Feng with concern, because they were actually civilian officials in the past, and they were all talented people, and the military supervision system was a problem that could not be bypassed in history, and it was also a long-standing and difficult problem, and they wanted to see how Tan Feng solved it.

"In fact, there are several main reasons for the collapse of the military supervision system. The first type of military attache supervising the army, such a military attache supervising the army is easy to cause one's own family to supervise one's own family, and it is of little use, and it is only used temporarily. The second type of civilian supervision of the army, the focus of civilian officials supervising the army is actually the imperial court, and this situation can easily lead to excessive politicization of the war, which will regard the military war as a link in the struggle of the court, and finally regard the army as a tool of struggle, and blind command will cause problems. ”

"As for the other situation, that is, civilian officials use the military as their own political capital, which is used to blackmail the center of the imperial court, or even the emperor."

"The third situation, that is, the eunuchs supervising the army, but the eunuchs supervising the army is of little significance, but it is just a last resort when the imperial power is declining. This approach has actually demonstrated the decline of imperial power. ”

Tan Feng next introduced the most critical point: "The most critical point, that is, the unclear rights and responsibilities, this is the most deadly." If this power and responsibility are not clear, it is easy to have advantages and both sides to grab credit, but once there are disadvantages, both sides will shirk responsibility. In addition, out of the idea of suppressing military generals, the bosses often unprincipledly favor civil officials and eunuchs and suppress military generals, which is the biggest problem. “

Tan Feng is very aware of the biggest feature of the political commissar system in later generations, and it has one of the biggest characteristics compared with the past military supervision system, that is, the positioning and power and responsibility of the military supervision are very clearly divided. This is the biggest basis for the political commissar system in later generations to survive without problems, and this characteristic was not available in ancient times.

In ancient times, it was an out-and-out society governed by man, and the power of supervising the army was very general, and it was completely large or small. This is also based on the ancient ones that were formulated to control the military attachés, and the purpose of the establishment of this ancient prison army was to control the military generals and maintain their rule. However, the political commissar system in later generations was to make the army develop healthier, and although the two seemed to have similar means, they were fundamentally different.

"Don't you see? The most important of the responsibilities of the Ombudsman that I have set up is that the powers and responsibilities are clear. First of all, you see, although the Ombudsman has the power to veto military plans, he is also limited. Although it has the final decision, it does not have the power to personally participate in the formulation. In other words, he had to wait until the military attache took the initiative to draw up the plan before he could decide whether to agree to it, but he did not have the power to personally participate in the formulation to prevent him from abusing the power of the inspector. ”

"Also, about the punishment for military defeat. Among them, there is one of the strictest, that is, the inspectors of the same unit and the relevant officers, who are punished together for meritorious service. If the battle is lost, the two people will be punished together, and if they make meritorious service, they will inevitably receive merit together. In this way, he has blessings and hardships, although they seem to be separated on the surface, but they are still disconnected, so that neither of them dares to go too far. In this way, the malpractice of unprincipled favoring of the military and suppressing military attachés in the past has been corrected. ”

"Finally, this inspector is also a military attaché, and he is also a military attaché with military rank. is not a civil manager and eunuch, so he is also a martial artist. Of course, when it comes to specific promotions, there can be another route. That is to say, to take the special inspection route, which can start with the inspector at the company level, and then set up the armed forces inspection department in the troops at all levels, and set up an inspector general, who is at the same level as the chief of staff of the headquarters. The chief inspector accepts the leadership of the inspector, and the inspector general's subordinates are several department inspectors, and their status is the same as that of a staff officer. I also opened up another route, so that in fact, these inspectors were nominally sent down from above, but in fact they climbed up from the bottom, and the local officers and soldiers were no strangers to them, and they were much better than those who parachuted down. ”

Tan Feng took over the duties of the inspector, which almost imitated the duties of the political commissars of later generations, except for the small amount of power that the political commissar did not have, the others basically had it. And he also has the advantages of the political commissar system, that is, the power and responsibility are clear, and the future and destiny of these inspectors are tied to each other with the military commanders, meritorious service is rewarded together, and failure is taken together, so that both sides cannot go too far and correct the past bad habit of unprincipled favoritism in favor of the prison army.

When this order was issued, many officers were also mixed.

"In this way, then we are also relieved, this inspector sent from above is not the prison soldiers in the past, or our own people, or even people who were promoted from below, not directly from above, not too bad. Even the powers and responsibilities are clear, and it is clear that these inspectors cannot directly interfere in the army's combat plan, so that they are not afraid of random command. ”

"In addition, they climbed up from the bottom, not those civil officials and eunuchs who don't understand military affairs, and they are not afraid of blind command. And if something happens to us, we will also be punished, so we don't dare to mess around. ”

It is a very important benefit that the powers and responsibilities of the inspectors are clear, and they are very satisfied with the officers at all levels, because this system of supervising the army is much better than any system of supervising the army in the past. Such a system is many times better than in the past, because the powers and responsibilities of both sides are clear, the blessings and hardships are shared, and the inspectors also rise from the bottom and climb up from the bottom, so they are also familiar with military affairs, not laymen. And climbing up from the bottom, the soldiers are not too unfamiliar, but very familiar and easy to accept.

But the only thing that upset these officers was that from now on, they would not be able to get a chance to take power alone. It is impossible for them to obtain the power of the Word Hall on their own, and they must accept the constraints of this Ombudsman, and this is the biggest problem. But there was nothing they could do about it, and they had no right to refuse the Ombudsman.

"It is ordered that the deputy positions of the departments at all levels can take the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the inspector of the department at the same level. At present, there are no airborne inspectors from above, and they are generally promoted from the deputy positions of the departments at the same level. If you are interested in engaging in the deputy or even full-time officer of the inspector system, you can sign up for the election by yourself, and the promotion route will change from the military route to the inspector route in the future, so please register carefully. ”

Tan Feng is currently ordering the first batch of inspectors to be selected from among those deputy officers, so as to reassure those army generals. Because the first batch of inspectors were selected from the deputy positions, the inspectors were still familiar with the troops, and even the original deputy positions, and his subordinates knew him, so as to avoid the cost of running in combat effectiveness.

Of course, this is also the right thing and not the right person, Tan Feng is not really completely distrustful of the people below, but to set up a system, not the right thing. But Tan Feng also knew that although these deputy positions were originally subordinates of those officers, they were decoupled from the control of those officers. Once decoupled, their mindset towards their former boss will change. The original boss can't decide his own fate, because he will take the route of inspectors from now on, and most of the time there will be no crossover.

And the level is the same, so the same level will make people's mentality change. Even if it was originally a subordinate, but suddenly the level is the same, so that both parties will change their mentality from now on, so in fact, even if it is their own family, but since opening up this inspector route, they will inevitably fall into some mutual supervision process. This is actually the most important issue in terms of institutional design.

"From now on, this army can develop normally, and there is no need to worry about too many problems. Since then, two promotion routes have been opened, and even various problems of supervising the army in the past have been solved. From then on, I can control the troops very well and not worry about the subordinate army losing control, which is the most important thing. Tan Feng thought.

Tan Feng deeply felt how correct the words of the ass decided the brain, he was a soldier before the crossing, and naturally hated those practices of excessive control of the army. But now that he is a leader, he is not only a military commander, but also the leader of a political group, so he has begun to worry about the army. Even if he is also from the army, but he has achieved the position of the leader of the political group, so he will act like those civilian officials in the past, but he will guard against the army losing control and hurting himself.

Tan Feng shook his head helplessly, sometimes the reality is so speechless.
