, the old days of the month. After the conclusion of the Quadripartite Joint Meeting. The Joint Command is just that

At the meeting, Pei Chengyi adjusted the terms of reference of the generals of various countries. Lieutenant General Hassan, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, remains deputy commander-in-chief, Lieutenant General Tallinn, deputy chief of staff of the Syrian Army, has been reappointed from chief of staff to executive deputy commander, Lieutenant General Badarin, deputy chief of the Iraqi General Staff, and Lieutenant General Badarin, chief of staff of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Lieutenant General Maded, deputy chief of staff of the Syrian Air Force, and Lieutenant General Rancer, deputy commander-in-chief of the Iraqi Revolutionary Guard Corps, together with Lieutenant General Huai Zhiwang, Lieutenant General Jia Baoguo, Vice Admiral Liang Guoxiang, and Lieutenant General Lu Dingyu of the Heavenly Army." Joint Staff Executive Committee. "Responsible for the specific implementation of the operational orders of the Joint Command.

Although the Iranian generals in Syria were a little dissatisfied with Pei Chengyi's deliberate increase in Iraq's territory, the main arrangements were in Jige, and four of the seven members of the "Joint Staff Executive Committee" were from the Republic. It means that the power of the joint command is all in the hands of Pei Chengyi, so it is difficult for Iranian and Syrian generals to oppose it directly. In any case, to cooperate with the republic, one has to obey the command of the republic.

After arranging these things, Pei Chengyi set out to solve the details.

It stands to reason that Pei's first task is to ensure that Iranian, Syrian and Iraqi forces will be under the command of the Joint Command. Because Li Cunxun has already made a package ticket, it is guaranteed that there will be no unexpected situation. So Pei Chengyi didn't put much effort into this matter. It is unclear what method Li Cunxun used to make the generals of Iran, Syria and Iraq bow down, but Pei Chengyi has reason to believe that for the powerful military intelligence agency. It is definitely not difficult to figure out the personal problems of some military personnel.

It is precisely because of this that when arranging the personnel of the Joint Division, Pei Chengyi basically did not take into account the staff officers of other countries.

Within a few days, Pei Chengyi arranged for Colonels Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jingai, Long Hongen, and Du Junyong to be in charge of strategic intelligence and communications in the theater. In order to facilitate command, Pei Chengyi arranged for Dongfang Wen to serve as the "president" of the staff committee. In other words, the operational orders issued by Pei Chengyi will be issued to the front-line combat troops through the staff committee. To be clear. This staff committee, which is composed of ugly senior staff officers, is the most powerful body in the joint command, and Lieutenant Generals Huai Zhiwang, Jia Baoguo, Liang Guoxiang, and Lu Dingyu only come out to the town, lest the generals in Iran, Syria, and Iraq think that it is a great shame to accept the command of the colonel.

It can also be seen from this series of arrangements that Pei Chengyi is cultivating a "descendant army."

Although Yuan Chenhao's ability to become famous has a lot to do with Pei Chengyi's cultivation, it can even be said that if Pei Chengyi hadn't insisted on setting up a deputy commander for the front-line command before the Indian War, I'm afraid Yuan Chenhao wouldn't have had a chance to get ahead at all. But in a sense. Yuan Chenhao is not Pei Chengyi's direct officer. Before he met Pei Chengyi, he was already a senior staff officer of the General Staff, and he was trusted and reused by Xiang Linghui. It can be seen that because they were also promoted by Xiang Linghui, Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi are friends, not superiors and subordinates.

From Pei Chengyi's standpoint, no matter what he wants to do in the future, he has to compensate a group of descendants.

Dongfang smells old, and he is from a civilian background, even if he can be promoted to a general, it is only symbolic. What's more, Pei Chengyi's work and even daily life need a secretary who knows him well. And Dongfang Wen is undoubtedly the best choice. In this way, Pei Chengyi has to cultivate several other senior officers with potential, and Yang Shaoyong, Hu Jing'an, Long Hongen and others are definitely the best choices. In fact. According to the promotion system of the Republican ** team. After the end of this war, the three colonels will at least be promoted to brigadier generals, and if they perform outstandingly, they may be like Yuan Chenhao back then, and they will be promoted to major generals, thus becoming influential generals.

Of course, in addition to the staff officers, Pei Chengyi also had to have a good relationship with another group of soldiers.

Among the participants, in addition to four lieutenant generals such as Huaizhiwang, Liang Guoxiang, Jia Baoguo, and Lu Dingyu, there were also lieutenant generals Ling Yunxiao, Lieutenant General Luo Shaopeng, Lieutenant General Li Jixian, Lieutenant General Beiqi, Lieutenant General Jiang Wancheng, Lieutenant General Zhai Shanbiao, Lieutenant General Shang Xueyun, Lieutenant General Wang Xueping, Lieutenant General Fu Weimin and Lieutenant General Li Dongshi, and other commanders of combat units, as well as naval commander Hua Jianfeng, air force commander Lei Jingming, commander of the Sky Army Qi Hongfei, and Marine Corps commander Tang Chenglong. Major General Zhang Xuefeng, Commander of the South Asian Theater Fleet, Major General Mei Lechi, Commander of the South Asian Theater Air Force, and Major General Liu Rui, Commander of the South Asian Theater Marine Corps.

Obviously, this was a meeting of senior generals.

According to the arrangement of the Military Intelligence Bureau, except for the personnel who followed Yuan Chenhao to Iran to form the Eastern Front Command, all the remaining personnel of the South Asian Theater Command were assigned to the Joint Command and accepted the command of Pei Chengyi. In other words, generals like Zhang Xuefeng, Mei Lechi and Liu Rui have to obey Pei Chengyi's orders.

In terms of services and arms. Li Cunxun had already greeted Lin Xiaolei.

During the war, in addition to the strategic forces that require the approval of the Yuan to be mobilized, Pei Chengyi can mobilize the entire military force of the Republic according to the operational needs, and the headquarters of all services and arms unconditionally cooperate with the Joint Command. That is, Pei Chengyi can bypass the General Staff. You don't even need to ask Lin Xiaolei to give orders to the headquarters of all branches of the armed forces.

Four who assisted Pei Chengyi. Xin has already talked to Li Cunxun, and his relationship with Pei Chengyi is not a thug month※

The key is in the commander of the old combat unit.

Although the "combat unit" is a ground combat unit engaged in by the Army, anyone who knows the Republican ** team knows it. This is the "legacy" that Xiang Linghui left to the army before leaving the General Staff. To put it bluntly, this is what Xiang Linghui made in order to maintain the army's status as the "big brother" in the republican ** team.

In those years, Xiang Linghui's vigorous promotion of the "joint command mechanism" made people feel that he wanted to use the gimmick of "joint command" to ensure the dominant position of the army. In any case, the Republic is a big country that must attach importance to land power, and must attach great importance to it, and no matter how far it goes, land power has a bearing on the life and death of the Republic, so the position of the Army in the national defense forces of the Republic is unshakable. The problem is that as the republic transforms from a regional power to a world power, the position of the Army will certainly be challenged by the Navy, the Air Force, and even the Marine Corps, and with the advancement of technology, it will also be challenged by the Space Force. Under such circumstances, how to ensure the status of the Army is certainly an issue that any Army Commander must consider.

The mother is undoubted. Continuing to advocate "army dominance" will certainly not work.

As a matter of fact, Peng Maobang tried his best to override public opinion and let Xiang Linghui, who was born in the special forces, succeed him as chief of the general staff, in the hope that Xiang Linghui would limit the authority of the army and eventually form a military system that could best safeguard the national interests of the republic. The problem is that in the old years when Xiang Linghui was chief of the General Staff, it was impossible to implement everything.

Affected by the third military reform, Xiang Linghui before leaving office. One must be left for the Army.

It was against this background that the Army's establishment system was reformed drastically, "Combat units. Emerged.

As a ground combat unit established under the "joint command mechanism," the "combat unit" not only has the ability to command surface troops, but is actually a small multi-service combined combat system. That is to say, in actual combat, combat units will certainly be able to command many combat units, including the aviation and marine corps, and even command the support units of the navy to fight. It is precisely because of this that the commanders of the old combat units were all lieutenant generals, while among the front-line commanders, they were generally major generals, for example, the commander of the theater aviation was a major general of the Air Force, and the commander of the aircraft carrier battle group was at most a brigadier general. This superior rank already confers great privileges on the commander of the combat unit. Not to mention anything else, in order to make Li Dongshi from the Airborne Forces a single commander of the battle, Xiang Linghui signed his personnel promotion order the day before leaving the General Staff Headquarters and personally conferred the title on Li Dongshi.

It can be said that on the battlefield, the commander of a combat unit is the highest tactical commander in a direction

Official.

As one of the participants and planners of the Army's reform, it is impossible for Pei Chengyi not to know about this old catty. How high is the status of the commander of a combat unit. Although generals like Ling Yunxiao, Xiao Jiang Wancheng and Shang Xueyun are old and at most promoted to army generals before retiring, young generals like Luo Shaopeng, Wang Xueping, Fu Weimin and Li Dongshi are definitely likely to get higher positions after becoming generals. In particular, Li Dongshi, a general from the airborne brigade who climbed up step by step from ordinary soldiers, has already created miracles, and is a typical representative of the young Zhuang faction since Pei Chengyi, and it is very likely that his future achievements will not be under Pei Chengyi.

All in all. Pei Chengyi has to fight a combat unit here, if it is not absolutely necessary. It is necessary to avoid committing more ground combat forces as much as possible. However, Pei Chengyi knew very well in his heart that even if it was limited by logistical support, it was impossible for the Republic to mobilize tens of thousands of ground troops to fight a large-scale ground war with the US military in the Middle East like the Indian War. If the situation of the war turns unfavorable to the Republic, and the troops cannot be withdrawn in time, I am afraid that the old battle will have to be used individually.

In fact. Some of the MIA's practices have proven Pei's concerns.

According to the information provided by Liu Xiaobin, the negotiations between the Republic and the Iraqi authorities have not been fruitful for a long time, mainly because there are differences between the two sides on the number of military bases to be provided to the Republic and whether it is necessary for the Republican ** team to take over Iraq's national transportation facilities, and the fundamental reason for this disagreement is that the Republic hopes that the Iraqi authorities will fully cooperate, provide military bases capable of stationing at least six combat units, and adjust the transportation capacity according to the needs of the war to ensure the timely delivery of military supplies and combat troops.

Other words. In an extreme scenario, the number of fighting units engaged in Iraq alone would reach six.

Anyway. Two combat units each in Iran and Syria is not excessive. And so it goes. Any of the old Obstruction units may play.

The problem is that Pei Chengyi can't announce the news in advance.

He held a video conference at this time to finalize the affairs of the combat unit.

Only two of the four combat units that participated in the battle were confirmed. One is Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit, and the other is Fu Weimin's ninth combat unit, the former will be sent to Iran, and the latter will be sent to Syria. The second combat unit to be deployed in Iran and the combat unit to be deployed in Iraq have not yet been determined.

There is no doubt that this is a very tricky question.

Fortunately, Ling Yunxiao, who was most likely to be in trouble, did not take the lead in coaxing. The discussion went on two more messages. Pei Chengyi fully listened to the opinions of the participants, learned about the thoughts of the commanders of the Xiong combat units, and exchanged views with others. Before the end of the meeting, Pei Chengyi did not give an answer, but promised to select two combat units that are most suitable for fighting in the Middle East according to the performance of various combat units in recent years and various actual conditions.

On the cusp, if nothing else. Pei Chengyi will choose Ling Yunxiao and Li Dongshi's combat units.

The former has been deployed in Pakistan and is a combat unit under the South Asian Theater. Although the headquarters of the 1st Combat Unit is located in Lahore, the three brigades are deployed in old military bases in Pakistan, of which the combat brigade has been operating in Balochistan and is very familiar with the desert environment. More importantly, Pakistan and Iran are both Islamic countries, and the more than 20,000 officers and men of the First Combat Unit have lived in Pakistan for a long time, have a relatively in-depth understanding of Islamic culture, and it is easier for them to adapt to the local environment after fighting in Iraq. Considering that the 1st Combat Unit Support Brigade in northern Pakistan is mainly located in mountainous areas, and the Kurdish areas in northwestern Iran are also mountainous, Combat Unit 1 is best suited to fight in Iran. Yuan Chenhao did not choose the first combat unit, nominally the combat unit was all stationed inland, and the second combat unit was stationed in India's largest military port, and in the case of emergency dispatch, the second combat unit could reach the theater more quickly. In fact, the main reason is that Ling Yunxiao is too senior, Yuan Chenhao may not be able to move, and Luo Shaopeng made a lot of mistakes during the Indian War, if it wasn't for Xiang Linghui's protection, I'm afraid he would have retired long ago. In other words, Luo Shaopeng needs this opportunity even more, and he is more motivated.

The latter was the latest to be established and was in the best condition of equipment, and it was also the most advanced. The 10th Combat Unit itself was established as an experimental unit, and Xiang Linghui strongly supported Li Dongshi at the beginning. It is because this major general from the Airborne Forces has participated in many wars, from the most basic soldier to the brigade commander, he is very clear about the problems of the republican ** team, and he is very clear about how to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and he is most suitable to serve as the commander of the experimental unit. Not to mention anything else, as the first catty. Combat units with an integrated command system. For more than a year since its establishment, the 10 th combat unit has been conducting high-intensity combat drills in the area at the junction of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Chongqing, exploring ways to use the new command system. What is even more important is that Li Dongshi is the youngest and least senior among the commanders of the thug combat unit. Although he has received more medals than other commanders combined, in the background-conscious army, Li Dongshi needs more opportunities to make meritorious contributions, especially the opportunity to command large corps battles and achieve brilliant results. In this way, Li Dongshi will definitely be more active. According to the actual situation, the 10th combat individual will definitely be sent to Iraq, and this direction is under the direct command of Pei Chengyi. Considering Li Dongshi's background, that is, he has not joined any faction for the time being, it is even more worthy of Pei Chengyi's reuse.

In a sense, Pei Chengyi convened this video conference to communicate with everyone.

After the meeting, he talked to Li Cunxun on the phone, introduced the meeting, and asked Li Cunxun for his opinions.

Obviously, Li Cunzhu will not have any opinion on this kind of military decision. In his words, on issues related to combat operations, it is not necessary to consult him.

After getting the support of Li Cunxun. Pei Chengyi only began to arrange the transfer of troops.

Luo Shaopeng's second combat unit will follow the strategic projection fleet to the Gulf region, and after the outbreak of war, it will only take an hour to disembark at several major ports in Iran's Khuzestan province, and let the vanguard force reach Kurdistan Province in northwest Iran within the next hour.

Fu Weimin's 9th combat unit will come to Gwadar Port by the China-Pakistan Strategic Railway, then take the strategic projection fleet to Basra, Iraq, and finally follow the road route to Akasya, which is located in the Syrian desert, which refers to the deep desert between Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, which is located in western Iraq, less than a kilometer from the Iraq-Syria border, and can reach Damascus within hours after the outbreak of war.

Ling Yunxiao's first combat unit will be stationed in Pakistan's Balochistan province and gradually assemble towards the Iran-Pakistan border, so that it can reach Bandar Abbas, Iran, within hours after the outbreak of war. If necessary, it will only take a few hours at most to reach the northwestern region of Iran.

The most troublesome thing is Li Dongshi's 10th combat unit. Front: The mobilization of combat units can be covered up in the name of normal deployment and joint exercises, but the 10th combat unit, which is a cutting-edge unit, is not easy to send to the Middle East.

Fortunately, Pei Chengyi had already left room for him, that is, when he mobilized the ninth combat unit, he did not use strategic airlift forces. Because the 10th Combat belongs to the experimental unit and has been practicing in the depths of the mountains, it can enter the combat state in advance and be directly sent to the war zone by air when needed.

When these things are done. It's already the last day of the month.

It was also on this day that Pei Chengyi received the exact news that the third round of secret negotiations between China and the United States on the Kurdish issue officially broke down!

Needless to say, this is definitely not good news.
