Chapter 121: Up and Down Communication

Tan Feng returned to his headquarters with heavy steps, but he had already discovered an important problem, that is, his troops had begun to have a community of interests composed of various identities and various factors. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info may not be obvious for the time being, but if you let it go, it's easy to have problems.

Tan Feng knew that the army was actually not much different from civilian officials, and it was inevitable that there would also be a faction on the mountain. Even, in a sense, it is easier to generate factions in the army. Because the army fights on the battlefield, it is often brothers who depend on each other for life and death. This kind of relationship is a good thing to use on the enemy, but there are two sides to the same thing, but if this kind of comradeship is used in the internal faction, it is also very fast.

This kind of comradeship, on the contrary, is also a catalyst for the military to produce faster than civilian factions.

"Commander......" The staff officer of the headquarters hurriedly asked.

Tan Feng said directly: "Go and call all the staff officers to me for a meeting!" ”

When those staff officers saw Tan Feng's face turn cold, they immediately shuddered in their hearts, and they didn't know what was wrong with them.

"Have any of you read a report document sent by Captain Wang of the officer training team about the exchange between the staff officers of the army and the officers and soldiers of the grassroots army below?" Tan Feng asked.

The staff officers thought for a while, and one of the staff officers with the captain stood up and said: "Well, I was the first to take over this, I wrote the handling opinion, I have seen it!" ”

Tan Feng then asked: "Who has seen it, stand up?" ”

Soon, a few more staff officers stood up, and Tan Feng asked, "How did you deal with it?" ”

"Commander, we think that this communication between the top and bottom is obviously not conducive to the use of our talents! The cultural level of our staff officers is very good, and we should stay in the headquarters to assist the commander. What's more, many of the officers below are big and coarse, and it is difficult for them to be competent for these staff tasks of ours, so they still stay at the grassroots level and make the best use of their talents. Therefore, this is the idea of making the best use of people's talents, not our selfishness! ”

"Smack!" Tan Feng slapped the table fiercely, and then said angrily: "Okay, make the best use of your talents, do you really make the best use of your talents?" You say that you have no selfishness, I think it is precisely three hundred taels of silver here! ”

Tan Feng is actually very familiar with the mentality of these staff officers. Tan Feng knew that in later generations, many staff officers of the military organs did not go to the army in their underwear, and they were unwilling to go down to the army to serve at the grassroots level. Because of how idle they are in government agencies, they are not only idle, but also close to the leaders, and it is easy to get promoted. Even the staff officers of military organs are often semi-training units, and they are not very strict about daily physical fitness and other training, so they can be regarded as very idle.

Therefore, there are many staff officers of the organs who are very resistant to the troops, and once they hear about the troops, they are looking for connections everywhere and want to shirk them. Of course, this is still for personal reasons. Of course, there may be a reason, that is, these staff officers are already naturally an interest group, and they are naturally a faction, rejecting those who are directly promoted from below to steal their jobs.

This kind of army will naturally form factions between them because of their troops, because of their identity, and because they are born in the unit of the army. Not surprisingly, this natural faction is the most stubborn and the most incurable.

Tan Feng found that in his current unit, these staff officers had become a potential interest group, and they excluded those grassroots officers from coming to their posts, robbing them of the job opportunity that was both easy and close to the leader. And they also know very well that if one of the junior officers below comes up, one of them will inevitably have no job or be kicked out.

In this way, it is not difficult to understand that they have a negative attitude towards Captain Wang's suggestion that staff officers and officers exchange posts with each other.

"These factions must be contained, otherwise the army will have a potential bomb in the future, and it will be easy to go wrong. Even if this continues, this army will inevitably have problems. Whether it is a problem in terms of operations or in the inner mentality of the personnel, it is easy for the army to fall apart. Tan Feng thought.

Tan Feng actually knew very well why many later generations emphasized that the staff officers of the organs should be sent to the troops, and some outstanding officers were promoted from the grassroots combat units to serve as staff officers? In fact, there are many reasons for this: On the one hand, it is necessary to increase the understanding of the staff officers of those organs about the grass-roots level, so that they can be reused in the future to obtain greater benefits.

On the other hand, it is also hoped that those officers and men at the grassroots level will be able to increase their view of the overall situation and increase their sense of the overall situation in commanding operations at a higher level. Generally speaking, whether it is a promotion of grass-roots officers or a delegation of staff officers, it is necessary to raise the rank.

Of course, for the promotion of grass-roots officers below, this is actually an important means to increase the centripetal force of the army. Let the grass-roots officers see that they have the idea of directly ascending to the sky and becoming a high-level staff officer, which will greatly increase the centripetal force of the grass-roots officers, make them work harder, and unite more under the hands of the high-level.

Of course, there is also another factor that is not suitable for explicit, and that is the convenience of controlling the troops. These outstanding officers at the grassroots level were promoted to become staff officers, so that after he left the army, he would inevitably lose control of his subordinates, and it would not be easy to form a warlord. On the other hand, if the senior staff officers are allowed to go down, they do not have too many cronies at the grassroots level, and they will inevitably suppress the cronies of the former officers, or at least disrupt the complex network of relations of the former officers.

Some even simply took advantage of the fact that the original officers did not form a sufficient network of relations at all, and directly transferred them away, so that in exchange for a new one, they could not have enough time to form a network of relations, so that it would be convenient for the higher authorities to control the army, and it would not be easy for them to form warlords.

These things, in fact, are also inconvenient to say directly. Therefore, in later generations, it was often stipulated that the post of an officer should be adjusted once every three years, and if there was no promotion after three adjustments, it would also be a provision that he would be transferred. In fact, in the final analysis, this is to facilitate the control of the army, so as to avoid the emergence of warlords, and the control of the army by the national government.

"It seems that the mentality will also change! In the past, I was a small soldier, but now that I am the commander of a large army, I have the same idea as those officers in the past. Tan Feng also smiled a little bitterly in his heart.

In the past, Tan Feng also hated the actions of those officers above who seemed to be "blind commands", but now that he has really become the commander of one side and has become a military and political leader, his mentality seems to be the same as that of those "blind command" officials back then, and I have to say that this ass can really decide the head.

"Well, now that you admit it, then I won't talk nonsense. Anyone who acted passively with this order at that time was given a major demerit. And, the first batch of arrangements to go down to the grassroots. In addition, the person in charge directly, demerit sanction. Wang Jingwen, the former chief of staff of the headquarters, was severely warned and punished because of negligence in management and leadership responsibility! ”

The staff officers who handled this official document suddenly turned green. They originally thought that they could deal with it negatively, and then it was over, but they didn't expect that this time they would be discovered by Tan Feng by mistake, and this time they would be unlucky. If they didn't want to escape the possibility of this grassroots level, they wouldn't have treated it so negatively. But now, not only did he not hide from the past, but he also had to memorize a major demerit and arrange for the first batch to go down to the grassroots level, which is sad.

Fortunately, Tan Feng actually knew that they were just greedy for comfort, and they didn't really form a big faction. But this kind of covetousness is also a big problem. The army, once coveted comfort, it is also the beginning of decay. The staff officers of these organs are also soldiers, so they do not have the power to covet comfort.

Those staff officers wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to say it. Because Tan Feng was ruthless this time, he was directly punished, and even Tan Feng's woman Wang Jingwen was also held accountable, and was given a serious warning of leadership responsibility. Even Wang Jingwen, the lady and chief of staff, was seriously warned, and of course they didn't dare to put a fart. If you continue to chirp crookedly, then who knows that Tan Fengfeng will not directly order the killing?

Tan Feng continued: "In the future, we should strengthen exchanges between our headquarters at all levels and grassroots officers. Every year, at least one-sixth of all staff officers of organs should be sent out to take up posts in turn to take up command posts. In addition, there were no positions in the past, and outstanding officers at the same level were selected and promoted, so that they could serve in military command departments at all levels, familiarize themselves with the command of high-level orders, and increase their overall perspective. ”

Tan Feng's order can be regarded as letting everyone know that this time Tan Feng is grasping the power of the army, and he directly wants to weaken the possible mountain faction thinking. Especially those who were born in the Wang family, which one of them was not from a literati background. Many of them were Manchu preparatory civil officials before, but they were implicated and exiled to the northeast.

This kind of civil official family of several generations, they are clear about the political factors in this. What this Tan Feng was thinking, they knew very well. The so-called enhanced communication training, perhaps also true, is by no means the main thing. The most important thing is to curb the warlords, and to curb the officers of those subordinate units because they have been in office for a long time, they have a huge influence, and it is easy to cause deviation from morality, relying on the troops to keep up with the conditions, and in the end they may even evolve into warlords.

This time, in order to realize the communication between this staff officer and the grassroots officers, Tan Feng even held Wang Jingwen accountable, held a leader responsible, and gave a serious warning. This is enough to show that Tan Feng is determined to carry out this order.

However, these people from the Wang family understand very well that this time don't look at Tan Feng's punishment of Wang Jingwen, but in fact, this punishment is not a big problem, as long as Tan Feng wants to, he can cancel the punishment at any time. These Wang family members, who have been in the Manchu officialdom for generations, are more familiar with these political struggles, more familiar with them than with military skills.

"Commander, we must resolutely obey the commander's orders, we must self-examine internally this time, my leader is also responsible this time, and I also ask for a punishment!" Hurriedly someone from the Wang family cooperated.

These people of the Wang family are not stupid, of course they know that the interests of the Wang family are actually one with Tan Feng, and if Tan Feng falls, they will definitely die. They rebelled, and they added the prison of words, which is certain death no matter what. Maybe other grassroots figures can survive and join the Manchus, but these people are certain to die.

What's more, Wang Jingwen is Tan Feng's woman, and she is still the chief of staff with a military position, so it is destined that if Tan Feng sits in the world in the future, their Wang family is the first relative, and even more than many relatives in the past.

Tan Feng's interests are also their interests, and they took the initiative to request punishment, don't look at it as being punished, but in fact, they cooperated with Tan Feng, and their future prospects are naturally limitless.

"This time, you must give me a self-examination and wake up, and find out what is going on. However, from this incident, I have found that our army is getting bigger and bigger, but we have not been able to master the army because of this. On the contrary, as the army expands more and more, our headquarters seem very weak, especially for the outside army, which has become a problem. Now, I can't even completely control our close army staff, but what about those remote armies? How can we ensure that those troops stationed in the outside world will not degenerate and will not violate military laws and various military regulations? ”

"So, our army has begun to expand, but on the contrary, our chain of command has been lengthened. In particular, the space we have at our disposal is getting bigger and bigger, and the various units are scattered and stationed, which is not conducive to our mastery. Now even our own staff officers have clearly violated the military regulations, and they cannot be immediately known, so we have no reason why we will control the troops from the outside world in the future. ”

"And the troops from the outside world, except when our superiors temporarily send someone to take charge, they may strengthen their management. But when I'm gone, they will continue to slack off. It's very bad, it's very inappropriate. Therefore, I decided to set up an inspection system for our army again, and send special inspectors to all levels of the army to ensure our control over the army! ”

Tan Feng decided to emulate the system of political chiefs in later generations and set up a system of special supervision and supervision of military commanders in the army. This incident is a good opportunity to use the topic to play, so of course Tan Feng must also seize the opportunity to play the topic and realize his idea of strengthening the control of the army.

This kind of use of this punishment as an excuse to set up an army supervision department can effectively help oneself control the troops, and even the power position of this army inspector can almost be compared with that of the political commissars of the armed forces in later generations, and of course the name is certainly not the political commissar.
