Chapter 93: Reform (3)
Although the guerrilla leaders were not very happy with my reform...... Of course, there was only one exception to this, and that was Hassan, because this essentially brought all the guerrillas under his command.
But if we really want to talk about it, we should be the biggest beneficiaries...... The reason is simple, we have all the guerrillas in Sigeo in our hands and we have in charge of the transportation from Pakistan to Sigio...... This is also an indirect control of the Chijeo guerrillas, and it is irreplaceable.
Which force can replace us in Afghanistan? Not to mention that we have won several battles in succession, and we already have considerable prestige among the guerrillas...... Even without these prestige, who can provide Afghanistan with equipment and ammunition as almost endlessly as we do.
If you really want to say anything...... There is only one U.S. base, but the U.S. problem is that the equipment of their time is not suitable for fighting in Afghanistan, and the weapons they use to support Afghanistan are still bought from China! American tactics are also not very suitable for the Afghan guerrillas...... When the Yankees started a war, they paid attention to the coordination of the navy, land and air force, and at every turn, the aircraft carrier fighters were pulled up, and once they left these modern equipment, they would not know how to fight. The Afghan guerrillas, on the other hand, have nothing but individual weapons...... Therefore, on the contrary, we Chinese soldiers have underdeveloped naval and air equipment and mechanized equipment, and they have the tradition of fighting guerrilla warfare, as well as the experience of fighting guerrilla warfare on the battlefield in Vietnam...... Just right for the Afghan guerrillas.
In addition, the Yankees also have common interests with us at this time...... When we win the war, the United States wins, and they don't want to shed their blood in this foreign land...... Yankees' lives are worth their money, and their lives in the country are also very rich. So there was a thought like that of the Soviets. I don't think it's worth it to fight for my life in Afghanistan.
All of this qiē combined...... This has created the indispensable position of our Chinese soldiers in Afghanistan.
Meantime. That is one of the reasons why our reforms in the Higio Valley have been able to be implemented...... Otherwise, if the Yankees were to say something about reform to the guerrillas...... What kind of green onion are you, the leader of the guerrillas deserves it well, why should you change it?
I can also understand the displeasure of the leaders of the guerrillas.
For them...... No matter how big or small the leader is, at least there will be a dozen or so people under their hands, and there will be hundreds of them...... These people are all looking down on them, they are what they say, and they have absolute privileges in this small area.
But...... After such a change, it will be troublesome. Although there are no fewer soldiers with him, and even some of them have more soldiers under them, these people are from other races...... It is true that these people will obey their orders, but only within the military order, and there is no privilege outside the military order...... People of different races, who will give you privileges!
More importantly...... The military order is that the subordinates obey the superiors, in other words...... The company commander can command these soldiers, so can the battalion commander, and even more so can the regiment commander!
This greatly reduced the likelihood that the guerrilla leader would pull a force to stand on its own.
Previous words...... Their subordinates obey their leaders rather than their superiors, so they have no problem leaving with their men or rebelling whenever they want. At most, a few people will oppose a few times, and it will be persuaded or resolved.
But now it's clearly not going to work...... His soldiers are all from other races. Even if the leader had the idea of rebellion, he didn't even dare to say it...... Because as soon as he said this, some of his subordinates immediately went to the superiors to "inform"!
That's what I'm hoping to achieve...... Grassroots officials are important, but they must be replaceable, to put it simply...... Without this company commander, I would have been able to replace the position with another fighter in no time. Only in this way can grassroots officials have a sense of crisis and will not refuse to listen to the orders of their superiors because they have too much power in their hands.
Therefore, of course, the guerrilla leaders will not be happy to have their power curtailed, but they are only forced by my "obscenity...... There's no way, if you don't want to do this, it's okay, just get out of the Xigio Valley...... You may be able to maintain your position outside the valley, but you are short of food and ammunition and you have to be chased by the Soviets every day. Besides...... Even if the leader is willing to leave the Hijeo Valley now...... Those soldiers under his command may not be willing! There were a lot of guerrillas outside who couldn't squeeze in even if they tried to...... This is still going to get out?!
So in the end, the guerrilla leaders had no choice...... It was only after a few objections that I saw that I was determined to carry out the reform, so I accepted it tacitly.
This was followed by the election of the regimental commander...... There is no suspense about this, it is Hassan. Although some of Hassan's soldiers are not good men and women, after all, Hassan's troops have also grown from a few hundred to two thousand in the past few months, but they actually understand it in their hearts...... If you don't elect Hassan, you'll be waiting to be cleaned up!
Quite controversial were the battalion commanders...... The guerrilla leaders were not stupid, and knew that the battalion commander had the most real power in this unit besides the regiment commander, so they fought for it...... The reason for this is that there are six battalion commanders who meet the requirements, while we generally only have three battalion commanders.
Later, I saw that there was no point in them fighting like this, so I simply let five of them be the battalion commanders...... There is also an Aduzai as the deputy head of the regiment...... This is what I thought about a long time ago, and of course I will say it very well, such as that Aduzai can be said to be the master of the Xijieo Valley, and he is very brave in battle, etc., only to praise Aduzai's face full of pride and gladly accept the position of deputy commander.
So we have five battalions...... Each battalion was about eight hundred people. Then the messy leaders were all organized according to their original troop size...... This may seem like a simple task, but it is not easy to do, mainly because it is necessary to divide them into different ethnic groups and forces. But fortunately, I have Zhao Jingping as an assistant, and a large number of staff officers who cooperate with my work, so I don't need to be cāo on my mind, they have done this job well in the morning, and at this time, they only need to take out the list and let Sahaide read it again.
It's just that some of the guerrilla leaders are not satisfied...... The reason is that they have many ethnic groups, and the relationship between them is also complicated, and Zhao Jingping's investigation work cannot be so meticulous, it is inevitable that some leaders will be assigned to ethnic groups with feuds, and some leaders are not satisfied that the number of people under them has decreased, so they are busy with this and that change.
I can't help but feel a little funny when I look at this scene...... These guerrilla leaders, they don't realize that there is no need to care about them...... Because in two months, most of them are afraid that they will be kicked out of the valley or become small soldiers.
The reason is simple...... Like I said before, if they are not suitable to stay in the position of cadres...... Then we have the right to discuss substitutions.
Actually, I wanted to change people from the beginning...... If we want to make the guerrillas unswervingly obey our command, we must uproot the representatives of the various forces!
But there is a saying that "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry"...... If I come up and say in a big way: "All of you leaders will step down for me, and the soldiers will be handed over to me to lead...... Then the leaders will not agree unless their brains are in water! Maybe they'll join forces to kick us out!
So you have to take your time...... The first step is to weaken their power, and then find some excuses to replace them one by one in the course of training, like boiling frogs in warm water...... One by one, they stepped down before they knew it, and one day they looked back and found that most of the leaders had stepped down...... At this point, it's too late to make trouble!
As for what kind of excuses...... That's a lot, for example, the grassroots cadres I want should be people with excellent military skills and command skills...... Many of the guerrilla leaders were leaders who had some family to provide weapons or some prestige, such as Hassan, who became a leader because his father was an elder.
That is to say...... A large piece of land can be wiped out with military qualities and command skills, and this reason is very valid...... In war, if you don't have military skills and command talent, then why should you command others?!
Of course, there are also some leaders who have military qualities and are worth cultivating...... For example, Apuqiu, who was born in Orion, it doesn't matter if a few people like him are retained, and even I plan to focus on cultivating ...... On the one hand, this can show our fairness, and on the other hand, it can effectively use human resources, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
So the new training soon began......
Not to mention, after such a disruption and reintegration, the whole force feels a little different, at least now every unit is willing to order, and there will not be a situation where the troops are completely unknown before.
Although there will still be some problems in this, such as the general resistance of various forces to the newly assigned company and platoon commanders...... It should be said that this is normal, they were originally "loyal" to their leader, but now suddenly the leader was transferred and replaced by another company commander to call them around...... No one will get used to it!
But this problem is not difficult to solve...... On the one hand, these newly appointed company commanders will be gradually replaced in the near future, and on the other hand, there are military regulations there...... You must obey the orders of your superiors, otherwise you will be punished by military law!
So it's a matter of time...... After a long time, they will understand that the most important thing is military regulations and not people, as long as there are military regulations, no matter what company and platoon commander is arranged by the superiors...... You have to obey orders unconditionally! (To be continued......)
