Chapter 331: The Army's Actions
Although the reform of the military service system has not yet been passed, to a certain extent, many parliamentarians have been persuaded by the military bigwigs that it is only a matter of time before it is passed.
Of course, the changes in the army are indeed a bit too big, and the army bigwigs, especially the elderly soldiers such as Liu Dongshui and Wang Tiehammer, have begun to focus on cultivating successors within the military system.
Don't look at the Australian Army and Navy seem to be extremely powerful, but there are few people who have really been trained by the regular army, and most of the current second lieutenants and lieutenants are trained by a few officers after the crossing.
The current Australian army is strong, strong in military weapons and technology, once there are no these golden fingers, with Australia's navy that has only been established for two years, it is impossible to fight against the Spanish and Dutch who have decades and hundreds of years of sailing experience.
Therefore, the training of officers in the army is very important, and a good commander can often play a key role in a war.
As the commander-in-chief of the army, he gave an explanation of the responsibility of the commanders of operations to be commanded by nobles and commoners, and that children born into wealthy families or official families often had a much higher sense of responsibility than officers born into ordinary people.
Because they are born into aristocratic families, they often carry more responsibilities than ordinary families, and they will carefully consider the consequences of every choice they make, and whether they will bring a devastating blow to the entire family if they make a wrong step.
These responsibilities are all they need to consider, so the aristocratic officer corps, often when commanding the battle, the willpower is relatively firm, and the truth of glory is deep in their brains.
However, the harm caused by the aristocracy of officers can also be seen, once the officer system is formed and all come from upper-class families, it can be very unfair to ordinary soldiers on the road to promotion. Because of the secret alliance relationship between the traversal people, there will definitely be a bias in promotion and selection.
This aristocratic system. Isn't it a bit similar to the later Manchu army, the senior officials in charge of the army must be born as banner people, and the Han people are often born as deputy generals.
Although these people will definitely do it from the bottom of their hearts when it comes to protecting their own interests, if it involves others, I am afraid it may not be.
First of all, the aristocracy of officers will bring about the birth of hereditary officer families, so as to firmly grasp the power of the country's army, this situation is quite dangerous, and it may also pose a certain threat to the government, in case any of the descendants of any person want to play dictatorship, unite a group of friends to have a military coup d'état, then it will not be stopped.
So this proposal was opposed by many people as soon as it was put forward, and they could tolerate the emergence of political families. Although there is no difference in the nature of the two, the emergence of a political family is often controlled by multiple families.
The emergence of the officer family is a little different, everyone knows that the internal personnel of the army are more grouped, and the possibility of dividing them is very low, often they are on the same line, which provides them with a natural close relationship with the alliance, once they want to do something important to connect the army will be mobilized by them.
Although the Government nominally has the power to mobilize the National Guard, the gap between the two is considerable. If the combat effectiveness is comparable, I am afraid that there will not be any cases of army soldiers laughing at the soldiers of the garrison.
In a sense, the garrison is more like an internal guard force, and the intensity of combat and training cannot be compared with that of the army. Naturally, it is impossible to compare the army.
The original intention of the military bosses to propose the aristocracy of officers is actually good, but often no one will believe that this is their real purpose, and the people who enter the army are not allowed to participate in politics according to the constitution, and they must rely on them if they want to maintain their position in this small internal group.
Otherwise, they will grow old, and the likelihood that their descendants will want to enter politics and rise to high positions is very low. Because the resources are already in the possession of those political families, it is not the same to stay in the army, and they have the resources to make a difference.
Of course, thinking like this may be a bit too much to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. But it is not an exaggeration for these politicians, and it is necessary to stifle the existential danger in the cradle in order to be a qualified politician.
With opposition, there will naturally be a counterattack, and the army bigwigs are not without opposition capital, and the biggest capital in their hands is the right to mobilize the army, and it can be said that the influence of the government in the current military system is not so great.
In order to express silent protests, the army has adopted a passive and sluggish attitude towards the routine patrol of the capital Manchester City, which has invisibly increased a lot of pressure on the National Guard.
Because the task of defending the capital is generally the responsibility of the army, the garrison is only as an assistant, and naturally there are not so many personnel. It was a lot of work to put the burden in their hands all at once.
Of course, the army is not protesting for no reason, people use routine military training as a sight and ear to prevaricate you, you can't tell me not to train, according to the constitution, the government has no right to interfere in the army's internal training, so naturally there is no reason.
If the army were to do so several times a week, they would certainly not be able to bear it, and first of all, the garrison would stop working, and they would clamo for an expansion, and the government could not afford to pay for the military expenses that had to be paid for the expansion.
With the cooperation between the military and enterprises, the source of military spending is not only dependent on the government to provide, and it is not so easy for the government to want military spending to control the army, but it is estimated that new policies will soon emerge after this incident to restrict the military's participation in running enterprises.
Fundamentally cut off the source of other expenses for the army, so that they have to rely on taking money from the government, so that they will not dare to be disobedient.
Judging from the current situation, the government is most likely to compromise, because the bigwigs of the armed forces have moved their true character this time, and there must be a sense of anger in the psychology that the two proposals before and after they have not been passed, and I am afraid that no one can persuade them.
So the government may make concessions at this time, to a certain extent, so that the military people can get some benefits, and wait until the incident subsides, and then introduce more relevant policies to restrict the military.
Although this is a bit of a reckoning and ungentlemanly behavior, it is nothing to these politicians, and the contest between the government and the army will inevitably continue in the future. (To be continued......)
