As mentioned earlier, after the calendar years, the defense construction of the republic encountered "pills." [No pop-up novel network]

No matter who is blamed for the problem, or what kind of governing philosophy is laid to blame, the war in the Middle East will be a real impact on the national defense of the republic.

The knife edge is between four in the year. Because Gu Weimin's national strategic policy does not attach importance to national defense construction, even with Pei Chengyi's all-out efforts, the national defense construction of the Republic is still mainly "restored", that is, to make up for the impact of the Middle East war on the republican army, and to make very limited adjustments to the establishment of the army in response to the problems exposed in the war. Although the events of this year have often been criticized, and there are even many people who believe that if they can seize the opportunity of this year, the Republic is fully capable of forcing the US authorities to admit defeat before the United States is ready for war before the New Year, taking advantage of the fact that the United States is not ready for war to start a world war, everyone has to admit that the resumption of construction in the year of the station has laid the foundation for the next large-scale military reform, and has also provided the impetus for the Republic to go further in the world war. More importantly, during this period, the national conditions of the republic determined that any national defense modernization was unrealistic, and even if Wang Yuanqing was in office, it was impossible to invest too much national strength in national defense construction. You know, during the reign of Wang Yuanqing, after the war in Japan. It took the authorities of the republic 7 years to prepare for the war in India!

In the year of the worm, to be precise, it should be the fourth fiscal year, and the national defense construction of the republic began to increase.

In that year, the Republic's defense budget increased by the same amount as in the previous fiscal year, and the increase was the first since the year of the Knife Stone. What's more, the bottom. Yan Jingyu approved the "20-year construction plan for national defense forces" submitted by Pei Chengyi, and at the beginning of the following year. The sentence was passed at the plenary session with a small approval rating, and became the first long-term plan for the construction of a national defense force with military reform significance initiated by the Minister of National Defense of the Republic. In fact, many people later called the reform actions related to this national defense construction plan the "fourth military reform" of the republic, and it was determined that in the good years, Yan Jingyu intended to let Pei Chengyi have greater political achievements, because it was not Yan Jingyu who carried out this military reform, but Pei Chengyi.

Yuan Chenhao was also the initiator and participant of this military reform.

In fact, it was also the first military reform of the Republic to set the cycle as a force year rather than a beater's cake. Although the grass reform cycle is set as the year of force, the main basis is the military strength development cycle, mainly to reduce the negative impact of the government election on the construction of national defense forces, which is obviously aimed at some radical policies during Gu Weimin's administration, to ensure that the major strategic policies related to the security of the country and the survival of the nation have continuity and continuity, but many people believe that if Pei Chengyi does not get Yan Jingyu's hint, or justifiably support, It is impossible to come up with such a military reform program that requires a successor to complete in the year of Likou. There are also those who think. It is the construction period of this military reform plan that is 2o years, so when Yan Jingyu was considering his successor, he put Pei Chengyi in an important position. In other words, Pei Chengyi did not determine the political basis through this military reform plan.

Anyway; This is a far-reaching and extraordinary program of military reform.

As an army general. In addition, the main participant, Yuan Chenhao, is also an army general, so the core of the military reform plan is aimed at the reform of the army's establishment and equipment.

If in the old years ago. The difficulty of the establishment reform is certainly greater than that of the equipment reform.

We have to admit that the third military reform has fundamentally straightened out the atmosphere of the republican army and clarified the responsibilities of the army and the position of the army in the power structure of the republic. It is precisely because of this that when Pei Chengyi implemented reform, it was much more difficult to carry out equipment reform.

Establishment reform. The main game is to adjust to the problems exposed by the fighting individual during the war in the Middle East.

Strictly speaking, the performance of combat units in the Middle East war was commendable, far exceeding initial expectations.

At the beginning of the year, "Jane's Defense Weekly" made a horizontal comparison of the combat effectiveness of the ground combat forces of the participating countries in the Middle East war, with the Republic Army as the fourth, the Israeli Army in second place, the US Marine War in third place, the US Army in fourth place, and the Iraqi Army, the Iranian Army, the Turkish Army, and the Syrian Army. Although Jane's Defense Weekly is a privately-owned defense magazine, it has a high authority in the field of international military forces. According to this calculation, the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army is almost 2 times that of the US Army! There is no doubt that the combat performance of the main battle equipment of the Republic Army is certainly less than twice that of the US Army, so the establishment system of combat units is the key to improving the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army.

Of course, the individual profit system of the battle is certainly not perfect.

On the main northern front, the combat units involved in the battle have exposed a number of problems, the most notable of which is that the support brigades are often required to carry out combat missions. And take offensive combat missions. Obviously, this has already been the original intention of the fighters when forming combat units, and the establishment system and equipment system of the support brigade are not very suitable for carrying out offensive combat missions. According to the Casualty Investigation Report submitted by the Republic Army to Sokawa after the war. More than 70 percent of the combat casualties came from the horns", and about 70 percent of them were in offensive operations. In other words, more than half of the casualties of the Republic Army in the Middle East war were related to the fact that the support brigades did not have the strength and equipment suitable for the offensive, but had to participate in offensive combat operations.

In other words. There are definitely problems with the formation of separate support brigades in combat units. Of course, this is not to say that the support brigade is not well organized. According to another report from the Army. On the northern front, it was able to defeat the 10,000 US troops of the US division, which was able to defeat the US army division with less than 10,000 troops, and achieved the proud record of killing and capturing 10,000 US soldiers, of which about 30,000 were achieved in the tug-of-war during the negotiations.

At the time of the post-war summary, many people blamed the huge casualties of the individual support brigades on the less-than-ideal main battle equipment.

In addition to the problem of equipment. The biggest problem is that the staffing is not reasonable. To be precise, when dispatching troops, the front-line commanders did not use the support brigade with the combat brigade according to the actual situation, or did they command in the traditional way, leaving a certain unit to undertake a certain combat mission alone. This is not at all the main feature of the existence of such a system of combat units. The reorganization of the field army into a single combat unit is to abolish traditional tactics and allow front-line commanders to make full use of the characteristics of various combat forces and reduce combat casualties. The ratio of the relative casualty rate of the 10th combat unit, which is the most prominent, to the total time spent performing the combat mission is much lower than that of other combat units, because the 10th combat unit makes more rational use of various combat forces and tries to avoid using a single combat unit as much as possible. The question is. The performance of the 10th combat unit on the battlefield was also not good enough, especially in terms of artillery support, there were still a lot of problems

Addressing these issues. The most straightforward way to do this is to adjust the staffing.

In fact. As early as the end of the year of the Satin Year, that is, not long after Pei Chengyi returned to the Central Committee to take up the post of defense minister, he set up a special training class in the name of the Ministry of National Defense, and personally served as honorary instructors to train the tactical ability of the brigade-level commanders of various combat units. At that time, Pei Chengyi paid special attention to the rational use of various combat forces, rather than rigidly following the rules of operation to command the troops to fight.

Because the combat units themselves are a very flexible combat establishment system, in the military reform since the second year, the focus of the establishment reform of the Republic Army has fallen on implementation, that is, to make all officers and men of the army, especially the officers and men of the grass-roots level, familiar with and master the ability of multi-arms coordinated operations.

Of course, another key point in the reform of the establishment is the "expansion of the staff".

Because after the Middle East War, Gu Weimin did not disband a field army-level reserve force composed of about 10,000 retired soldiers who were urgently conscripted, but retained this reserve force in the form of a standing reserve force, and gave the treatment of regular soldiers. As long as the legislative obstacles can be overcome, the old army can be transformed into a single combat unit, and the front-line standing strength of the Republic Army can be increased to the nearest ten thousand. Although the absolute added value is not large, the relative increase system has reached an astonishing proportion of irrigation!

Maintaining a small army for a long time will not have much impact on the republican forces.

As mentioned earlier, one of the main projects of the third military reform is the implementation of the "non-commissioned officer system" in the army, that is, the vast majority of technical soldiers and most combat soldiers are non-commissioned officers, and there are not many real soldiers, and the soldiers are basically non-commissioned officers. As a result, the Republican Army has a very impressive ability to expand in times of emergency. During the Middle East War, the Republic's Army was tested for expansion. In the case of the Eighth Combat Unit, which suffered heavy casualties, by the time it left the battlefield, about two-thirds of its officers and men had been replaced, and about eighty percent of the new recruits were from poorly trained militia units. According to the performance of the combat bull unit on the battlefield, the recruits who accounted for about half of the total strength did not have a serious impact on the combat effectiveness, and the combat unit was still able to complete most of the combat missions. The new address of this site has been changed to summer: Chat about the tire o waki, please read it!

As early as around the year of Lishi. The Institute for Strategic Studies in the United Kingdom has evaluated the expansion capabilities of the Republican Army. According to the results of the assessment of the institute, in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the mouth, the Republic Army was able to expand the size of the front-line combat unit within the time of the fall by absorbing the militia and the non-reserve force, and the National Institute of Strategic Studies had already regarded the old standing reserve force as a front-line combat force; In order to maintain 80% of the combat effectiveness, the Republic Army will be able to recruit retired soldiers, and within a month, the front-line combat units of the Republic Army will be increased to Jinwan, and about Jinwan reserve officers and soldiers will be recruited.

According to the estimate of "Jane's Defense Weekly", that is, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Army is equivalent to that of the Republic Army, and the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Marine Corps is comparable to that of the U.S. Marine Corps. Although the United States also adjusted its military system after the Middle East War, increased the ratio of non-commissioned officers to junior officers, and strengthened the role of non-commissioned officers in the grass-roots troops, and had a certain ability to expand, the mobilization capacity of the United States was far inferior to that of the Republic. It was simply impossible to gain superiority in forces in the initial period of the war.

In a sense, the United States suffered a crushing defeat in the Middle East war because of problems with its basic military system.

It is precisely because of this that in the military reform in the Year of the Worm, Pei Chengyi particularly emphasized the importance of the republican mobilization system, especially in the establishment. According to the reform plan proposed by Pei Chengyi, among the reforms related to the establishment, increasing the proportion of non-commissioned officers in the non-reserve forces and strengthening the social management of retired servicemen have become the most important things.

Among the specific reform measures is the establishment of a special reserve non-commissioned officer training and scraping agency. Because reserve officers and soldiers have social status and are the main labor force in society, the Republic Army is obliged to provide more subsidies for reserve non-commissioned officers to make up for the social costs they pay for participating in military training and military training. According to the detailed rules for the implementation that were later promulgated, reserve noncommissioned officers can receive special allowances ranging from 40,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan per year from the army according to their military rank and specific duties.

In accordance with the Military Service Act of the Republic, after retirement, a soldier will serve in the army as a reserve officer for three to two years, depending on the circumstances. That is to say, except for particularly old generals and senior sergeants, all other retired military personnel have reserve status. It can be said that these people are the main force and backbone of the reserves

In response to this situation, the Republic Army has issued a number of detailed measures, such as the signing of the "Agreement on Entrusted Training and Intended Employment of Retired Servicemen's Vocational Skills" with hundreds of arms enterprises related to the procurement of the Army. Of course, in order for veterans to receive these generous benefits, they must sign a very important agreement with the Army of the Republic, that is, they will be called up by the Army at any time within the normal service age.

With the gradual implementation of these reforms, the problem of the strength of the Republican Army will not exist.

It is precisely in this way that in the year of Mom, "Jane's Defense Weekly" broke with the convention and published the "Global Military Power Ranking of the Year" at the end of that year. And additionally introduced the republican ** team. According to the weekly's estimates. By about 2 years, that is, the military reform promoted by Pei Chengyi has completed the first phase of the seven-year work, and the actual combat effectiveness of the Republic Army is likely to be twice that estimated by the outside world. Based on the results of this assessment, the "Jane's Defense Weekly" came to a very astonishing conclusion, that is, the military reform promoted by Pei Chengyi has not only improved the military strength of the Republic, but also prepared for a world war.

In fact, it was this comment from "Jane's House Weekly" that brought the "World War" to life.

At the beginning of the force, the RAND Corporation submitted a report to the Pentagon, and put the growth of the combat effectiveness of the Republic Army in an important position, and highlighted it in red font. According to the RAND Corporation's projections, by the time of the calendar year, the actual combat effectiveness of the Republic Army was probably equivalent to that of the fierce water during the Middle East War, that is, it was about twice as sharp. For the US authorities, this is undoubtedly a slap in the face. To know. In the Pentagon's military reform plan launched in the past year, the requirement for the army's combat effectiveness is only to reach the otter in the past year, that is, to increase it by about the same time. Thus. If the U.S. authorities do not speed up their military development, the combat effectiveness of the U.S. Army will be reduced to below the level of the Republican Army by the end of the calendar year. Reduced to a second-rate army.

For the other few catties and big countries, the rapid expansion of the strength of the Republic Army is definitely not a good thing.

Of course, compared to the United States, with the exception of Russia, other countries have not been hit hard. In any case, the republic abandoned its expansionist foreign policy after the second gong year, and even if the republic will once again embark on the path of foreign expansion in the past few years, it will focus on the Middle East rather than challenging the United States on all fronts.

More importantly, in the reform of the Republic Army, the most eye-catching thing is the equipment reform.

Since the beginning of the Peninsula War, the Army of the Republic has once again been at the forefront of the world and has become the vane that influences the direction of the global army exhibition. To know. It's just "lightweight." with "Hollowing." Change the grass. It is enough to divide the global army into three, six, nine and so on. Let a country like Russia, which prides itself on being an army power, lag behind the republic in army construction at least for a few years. It is even behind the regiment in some key technologies.

When the Army of the Republic again worked on its equipment, no one dared to doubt its revolutionary nature.

It can be said that the "Jane's Defense Weekly" and the RAND Corporation spoke highly of the reform of the Republic Army. A very key factor is that the scale of the equipment reform of the Republic Army far exceeds the expectations of the outside world!
