Chapter 479: The whole army is reorganized
"Brother Baili, do you have any regulations for the Indian issue?"
Jiang Baili let out a long sigh and said; "India is the core of the British colonial order, and in order to combat the British colonial order and support India's armed struggle, it is necessary to deal a heavy blow to the British! However, among all China's neighbors, India has a huge area and a large population, and more importantly, for so many years, although India has been constantly conquered by various forces, the fundamentals still exist, and India after military independence is likely to exceed China's control, and then threaten China's border security, after all, once the two major powers are close to themselves, it will produce serious distrust! ”
Qiao Yu also nodded frequently on the side, India is undoubtedly a country with great potential, the biggest factor restricting India is the deep-rooted caste system and other social tumors, China's feudal society can be maintained for a long time, and the economy and culture are extremely prosperous.
In India, on the other hand, under the caste system, all occupations are passed down from generation to generation, not only by the upper classes of monks and officials, but also by merchants and farmers, and by a surprising number of untouchables, whose sole mission is to pray incessantly for the next life to live in a caste family.
The reason why the industrial age is more dynamic than the agricultural era is actually largely due to the mobility of social classes, which is also a problem that Qiao Yu is worried about.
"Brother Baili, if the revolutionary movement in India rises and is very likely to shake the entrenched caste system and clear the way for the further development of Indian society, then the South Asian subcontinent will probably become a great threat to us!"
"President, no one can see the future clearly, and even if we support Chandra, he may not necessarily succeed, but the fight against Britain is something we have to do, and I think we should still support it. We also captured a large number of Indian soldiers during the campaign in northern Burma. These people are well employed, if they are all called up, it is not very difficult to form a force of several thousand people, and with some more weapons, India can make a fuss, and it will also be a blow to Britain! Defense Minister Wu Tong put forward his own views.
With China's successive victories in foreign wars, the military has become more aggressive. No soldier is not eager to expand the territory, and Wu Tong is a staunch supporter of this kind of thinking, and at present Wu Tong also has enough self-confidence that the scale of China's army and air force is second to none in the Far East, and the navy currently has a large number of four small and five aircraft carriers, with a total number of more than 200 carrier-based aircraft. Whether it is the level of training or combat ability, it is the best in the world!
In particular, other navies have not yet completed the transformation and have not yet adjusted from the era of artillery and giant ships, so even if they face the US and British navies, China has confidence in it, and has a strong force to expel the colonial forces in Asia and turn Asia into the Asia of Asians. It has become a consensus among the military. Therefore, India came to ask for help, and the Ministry of Defense took a resolute stance of support!
"Great President. Now that most of the territory lost by the Manchu Qing has been recovered, the only thing left is Hong Kong, and it is also the government's accusation to solve Hong Kong in one fell swoop and completely recover all the lost territory, and I think it is also a good way to put pressure on Britain in the direction of India! Yang Du brought up the Hong Kong issue again, which undoubtedly gave Qiao Yu, who was vacillating, a very convincing bargaining chip.
Indeed, with the return of all the major territories, there is only one Hong Kong left that is very obtrusive, and it must be resolved as soon as possible.
"In that case, Minister Wu, you are responsible for talking to Chandra, but don't invest too much for the time being, let's help them build an armed force of less than a thousand people first!"
Qiao Yu set the tone, and Wu Tong immediately started to handle it, of course, these actions were carried out secretly, and the most important thing on the surface was the sensation caused by Master Tagore in the Chinese literary circle, and the vast majority of Chinese people also knew about such a project as the Dynamite Award for the first time.
Suddenly, countless people pushed the dynamite award to a rare height, which was simply worship.
"Shunqing, the old man was still talking about it yesterday, saying that since ancient times, the prosperous era has been a time of cultural prosperity, when will China produce a literary master like Tagore, China will not be far from the prosperous era!"
Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Daughter-in-law, haven't you also been to study in the West, why do you take the Dynamite Award so seriously, these things are all false, after seeing through it, it is nothing more than a tool for the West to promote values, and those so-called university rankings are almost the same, they are all the same thing!" ”
"Shunqing, don't say that, I think the evaluation indicators given by others are still relatively rigorous, and what they say is quite reasonable, our university is still lacking in cultural heritage, the scientific research atmosphere is not good, and the academic independence is also lacking!"
"Wife, you're saying I'm a dictator!"
Lu Wanqing's pretty face flushed slightly, it is true that the so-called academic independence is accusing Qiao Yu of interfering in education issues through the United Democratic Party, Lu Wanqing naturally doesn't want to believe that her husband is wrong, so how can this kind of thing be explained in front of her? She was also a little confused.
For example, in the university rankings, many universities in small European countries are on the list, while Chinese universities basically can't even make the list, but our universities can cultivate high-end talents in building aircraft, warships, automobiles, etc., and there are a few universities in the world that can do this, so this ranking is just bullshit!"
Lu Wanqing listened to Qiao Yu's words, nodded slightly, and shook her head again: "Shunqing, since they are, why is no one debunking it, but taking it as a guideline?" ”
"This is the so-called international discourse, if China wants to become a real power, it must establish its own set of evaluation system, including culture, art, academics, media, etc., good or bad can not just listen to Westerners, we follow suit, we also have to come up with our own system, to see who is more convincing!"
Qiao Yu also sighed when he said this, in later generations, the West firmly controlled the international discourse, dressed itself as the embodiment of justice, and blamed all countries, but he didn't know that he looked down at his own problems, but some people are willing to believe that in fact, this is the power of Western brainwashing, in the eyes of people who have been poisoned by democracy and freedom. Everyone else has been brainwashed. Only they are sober, reversing black and white, confusing right and wrong, China is much worse than the West!
"Wife, I'm going to set up an award, similar to the Dynamite Award, and the evaluation criteria are set by ourselves!"
"Shunqing. That's a good idea, but I think there are two problems, the first is that if you want to have enough influence, you need time to accumulate and you can't do it overnight, and the second is that you can't have a government to intervene. It is better to be the power of the people, so that it can appear fair and reasonable! ”
Lu Wanqing has been in contact with the most shrewd people of this era over the years, and she thinks about problems very thoroughly, and she instantly grasps the key point.
"Madam, are you willing to undertake this glorious task and share your husband's worries?"
Lu Wanqing is also an active person, but now that she has become the first lady, she must pay attention to everything. It's not so casual to do whatever you want to do. Now that Qiao Yu has arranged this task for her, she is naturally a little eager to try.
"Shunqing. I can only plan behind my back, and it is best to let China's rich come forward and form a reward fund! ”
"It's all up to Madame!"
It is not difficult to set up an award, it is rare how to build a world-class brand, this is the next thing to operate, of course, this is just a small episode, Qiao Yu's recent main work is to carry out a comprehensive reorganization of the Chinese army.
Although China has achieved an overwhelming advantage in this war against Japan, many problems have also been exposed, and it is necessary to rectify the situation in order to ensure that the armed forces are in the best fighting condition.
One of the very important problems is that the Chinese armed forces still retain a brigade-level establishment, and an extra layer means that the command system will be much more troublesome, and the army's rapid combat capability will be greatly weakened.
The Ministry of National Defense has drawn up a detailed establishment at the division level, with three infantry regiments under each infantry division, and the units directly under the division include a battalion of 18 105-mm howitzers towed by automobiles and two battalions of 75 howitzers drawn by mules and horses, with 18 guns per battalion.
Two companies of 6-gun 75-mm anti-aircraft guns, which were additionally assigned anti-tank tasks in wartime. A logistics regiment, a motor battalion, a packhorse logistics regiment. An engineer regiment, a teaching team, a special service company, a search company, a mechanical company, a medical company, a field hospital.
Each regiment has three battalions, in addition to a 75 howitzer company, a 120 mortar company of 12 guns, a combat defense artillery company, an anti-aircraft machine gun company, and is equipped with 12 twin 14.5mm Gaoping dual-purpose machine guns. A 6-gun Bofors 40MM battery of anti-aircraft guns.
1 engineer company, 1 communications company with field radio, 1 transport company, 1 health team, a total of 9 directly subordinate companies, and a command headquarters of 54 people. There are two regimental commanders and two regimental deputies, 1 chief of staff, 3 deputy chiefs of staff, 1 chief of military affairs, 1 chief of training unit, 1 chief of management unit, and 1 chief of communications unit.
In terms of weapons, it is equipped with 6 75-mm howitzers, 6 50-mm to 75-mm flat-fire guns, field wired telephones and radio stations for the communications company, 24 transport vehicles and 380 horses.
Each battalion has three infantry companies, a platoon of anti-aircraft artillery and a platoon of heavy machine guns, equipped with two anti-aircraft guns, and a battalion headquarters of 30 people, including one battalion commander and two deputy battalion commanders.
Each company is equipped with three infantry platoons, one fire platoon, and a company headquarters of 17 people: including company commander, company deputy, 4 health officers, 2 orderlies, division commanders, and 8 communicators. A cooking squad of 8 people, a Stern submachine gun squad of 12 people, plus 4 sniperers, and two rifle snipers equipped with 3.5x PU scopes.
The platoon is similar to the company level, with three infantry squads, one fire squad, equipped with three grenadiers, one heavy machine gun, ten men per squad, one machine gun shooter, one secondary shooter, one ammunition man, and six riflemen.
In this way, the strength of a division should exceed 15,000 people, the allocation of personnel and firepower has reached a fairly good level, and at the same time take into account the mobility of the troops, the army in this way can definitely have strong combat effectiveness, the Chinese army has been reorganized many times, but it has been a little rough, this time the Ministry of Defense has also made a lot of effort, Qiao Yu carefully studied it, and decided to take advantage of the victory over Japan's east wind, and officially use this establishment to carry out a comprehensive and systematic reorganization of the country's main army units!
