Chapter Eighty-Three: The Difficult Superiors
The front army headquarters, whether it is Yeremenko or Khrushchev, are now very unhappy faces, because now a bunch of army commanders are now running to the front army headquarters to complain, and they are all suing the Ministry of Internal Affairs to arrest people indiscriminately, basically some low-level commanders and political work cadres, and even some sergeants have been taken away together, these troops had to be withdrawn to the rear to replenish at that time, and now there are a few grassroots commanders and sergeants all of a sudden, it is actually very hurtful. Because if a unit is replenished, then this unit will inevitably be less effective than the original for a certain period of time, after all, the new cars still have to run in, let alone people? Moreover, these grassroots commanders who have all experienced the war are still very important, and there are so many fewer all of a sudden, and there is no chief officer who is not on fire! And there are also a few fewer combat staff officers in the army, which makes the chief officers even more angry, yes staff officers, Andre because he is not very good at fighting in large corps, so he is ready to establish a staff team to help, as the saying goes, staff officers don't fart without a commander! So for the sake of a few staff officers, why are those officers so angry is actually because staff officers are very important for a modern army, and the earliest staff has to mention the famous Prussian General Staff, the prototype of which appeared in the middle of the 17th century. Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.infoIn 1640, Brandenburg-Prussian Elector Friedrich Wilhelm formed a quartermaster general's department, which was the original general staff, following the example of the Swedish army, which was highly regarded at the time. At that time, the main responsibilities of the Quartermaster General Department were to undertake the tasks of engineering service, the selection of marching roads and camps, and the construction of positions. By the time of King Friedrich, the Quartermaster General's Department had added the task of heralding, giving directions to marching troops, and drafting reports and documents for generals. During the First Partition of Poland and the Bavarian Succession War of 1778, the Quartermaster's Department accepted the planning and leadership of the reserve forces, and became the king's right-hand man and commander of the army during the war. Moltke's tremendous efforts in the construction and operation of the General Staff and in the training of its officers enabled the General Staff to function as the brains of the army in the war. During Moltke's tenure as Chief of the General Staff, Prussia fought three wars that were basically fought on an equal footing with the adversary, or even at a disadvantage in some respects. The victory of Prussia was largely due to the command, to the presence of an excellent General Staff headed by a brilliant Chief of the General Staff. As early as February 1868, the French military attache in Berlin reported to the country that "in the event of the outbreak of war, the most important and undeniable of all the dominant factors that Prussia has is the organization of its general staff...... Ours can't be compared...... In the next war, the Prussian staff organization would become one of the most difficult to deal with among the dominant factors in favor of the Prussian army. "During and after the war of unification. The Prussian General Staff has become a model for the armies of Europe and even other countries to follow, and its composition, establishment, and tasks have become the basic model that continues to this day.
At present, the General Staff of the Soviet base camp consists of the Operations Department and the Intelligence Department. Organization Department, Mobilization Department, Military Topographic Survey Department, Military Communications Department, Rear Organization Department and a number of other departments and offices. During the war years, the General Staff was responsible for drawing up strategic campaign plans for the use of the Soviet Armed Forces in wars and campaigns, studying and preparing the theater of operations, improving the organization of troops, engaging in mobilization and material and technical support, drawing up plans for ordering weapons and technical equipment from the industrial sector, leading the operational training of senior command personnel and combat commands, and studying Soviet military doctrine. The most important task of the General Staff is to ensure a high level of combat readiness of the troops and commands at all levels. From the very beginning of the war, the General Staff was subordinate to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and was the main command organ of the Supreme Command's base camp, responsible for formulating strategic plans and directing the armies at the front. In its work, the General Staff pays special attention to maintaining regular contact with the commanders of the various armies, the commanders of the fleets and their commands, and to inspect the army's implementation of the directives and instructions of the Supreme High Command. Representatives of the General Staff often went down to the various armies to provide assistance to the troops.
From 1924 onwards, the successive chiefs of the General Staff of the Soviet Army were: Frunze, S. Kamenev, Tukhachevsky, B. Shaposhnikov, Egorov, Meretskov, Zhukov, Vasilevsky, A. Antonov, Shtemenko, Sokolovsky, Zakharov, Biluzov, Kulikov, Ogarkov, Akhromeyev, Moiseev, Lobov, etc. It can be said that he is a high-ranking and star-studded, and many chiefs of the General Staff will be marshals! At the division level below, excellent operational staff officers are also important candidates for the commanders of the troops in the future, and many of the commanders of the troops have had staff experience! So as a veteran, Yeremenko knew that the commanders of these troops were extremely indignant, but Yeremenko had no difficulty, although Andrei commanded the new division, but he and his officers and soldiers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were not transferred to the Red Army, and the commander of his own front army had no right to mobilize the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the same was true of Khrushchev, he was both a military commissar and the leader of the city party committee in Stalingrad, his status was higher than that of the military commander, and if it was the Stalingrad General Bureau, he still had the power to intervene, But Andrei and his subordinates are the "Imperial Forest Army", if he forcibly orders Andrei, of course, he will also give face, but this may not have a good impression on Stalin and Beria, (don't be surprised by this, think about the TV series of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing privately transferred Yulin and was confiscated Tiger Talisman, this country's "Imperial Forest Army" is personally controlled by the supreme leader, if the rest of you are not authorized to move, it is a big taboo) I actually dare to directly order the "Royal Forest Army" I'm afraid that no first secretary would be happy to see this, let alone Stalin, so the leaders of the two fronts decided to report this matter to Moscow!
And Beria's side has already received a report from the Stalingrad General Bureau, as the head of the Soviet Union's secret service, he really did it to say that Cao Cao Cao has arrived! He knew the news faster than Stalin, and now Beria felt that he could not delay, so he should go to the Kremlin and report to the Kremlin, and of course the base camp here also received a report from the Stalingrad Front.
