Chapter 732: Reorganizing the Army (1)

"Now, in my capacity as Chairman of the Military Council, I announce the reorganization of the Military Council. Originally, our military council had only three chairmen. Next, we will reorganize the CMC and then expand the number of CMC members. The military council would then have a chairman, who would be chaired by the reigning emperor himself, as was customary. However, under normal circumstances, the chairman of the Central Military Commission does not have the power to directly transfer troops, and he can only mobilize troops with the consent of more than 70 percent of the members of the Central Military Commission, and he cannot transfer troops more than one division at a time. After the founding of the People's Republic of China in the future, if you want to mobilize troops, you must obtain the consent of the parliament to enter a state of war, a state of emergency, or a state of large-scale emergency rescue and disaster relief. ”

Wang Guorui began to reorganize the army before he ascended the throne again, but this time the army reorganization was only in the most senior department, and the troops below would not be reorganized. There will be a certain degree of reorganization in the management and command organs at the highest level, adding, decreasing, and merging some departments, and then carrying out a reorganization at the highest level in this way. For those units that fought specifically, there was no reorganization. This reorganization was to be officially announced before Wang Guorui ascended the throne about ten days later, and then the concrete implementation began, and then it could become a relatively stable military system.

Wang Guorui first announced the future plan of the Military Commission, which must strictly control military power in the future. Military power is a sweet poison, and since ancient times, China has often caused turmoil because of the loss of control of military power. Of course, Wang Guorui can't be so contemptuous. However, Wang Guorui also did not agree that the emperor had the power to transfer troops without restrictions, because the emperor had the power to transfer troops without restrictions, so in the end, I am afraid that it would be easy for the emperor to borrow military power to clean up the government, which is also turning back history. Therefore, Wang Guorui thinks that the future emperor will personally serve as the chairman of this military commission, but the chairman of this military commission is similar to that of foreign countries. Later generations of British kings and Japanese emperors were actually nominal commanders of the three armed forces. In reality, however, they have little direct control over the soldiers. Even if the president of the United States claims to be the commander-in-chief of the three armed services, he rarely directly commands the troops. This kind of head of state personally concurrently serves as military commander, that is, it is also far more symbolic than practical, especially in a country with a perfect political system, the head of state concurrently serving as military commander is more symbolic, in fact, the command of the army is still left to professionals.

"Next. We have reorganized the Central Military Commission and set up two vice chairmen of the Military Commission, and these two vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission are military personnel, officers with military ranks, and they are the highest-ranking officers in the army. In addition, a number of civilian vice-chairmen can be set up when needed, one of which can be a year or two before the king is ready to abdicate at the age of 60, and the elected prince can serve as the vice-chairman and be familiar with military affairs, and then the former king can be resigned when he is old enough to abdicate at the age of 60. There is another scenario. That is, when there is a national war, or when there is a major reform or reorganization of the armed forces, the head of government on the government side can concurrently serve as a civilian vice chairman, so as to strengthen the coordination between the military and the government and make the work go more smoothly. The Crown Prince and the civilian vice-presidents on the side of the government are generally not permanent and do not confer military ranks. And later according to various needs. Establish a number of civilian vice-chairmen to coordinate the work. ”

"And the two vice-presidents of the military rank, one is in charge of military orders. One is in charge of military and political affairs, and in principle, each has its own division of labor. ”

Hearing Wang Guorui's plan, the new military commission set up by Wang Guorui adopts the mode of integrating military administration and military orders, but internally, it is also collective leadership, and then each has its own division of labor. A vice-chairman is in charge of military orders, that is, directing the war. And the other is in charge of military affairs. The main ones are officer selection, education, as well as various propaganda, part of the logistics affairs, equipment research and development, and so on. These are also military and political affairs. And these two vice chairmen, this is also to let everyone understand who has arrived in these two positions.

The vice chairman in charge of military orders was promoted by Hu Wei, and the vice chairman of military and political affairs was served by Zheng Honglai. This arrangement is not surprising, they were originally also representatives in charge of both military and political affairs and military orders, and now it is not surprising that they have been promoted to one level and then become vice presidents. But then, the really important arrangements are for the selection of the General Staff and the General Political Department, which is certainly a very important personnel appointment. It is also worth studying who will be the successors of these two departments.

Under the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, a number of members are set up, and the members are also concurrently holding positions at the level of the Zhengda Military Region. What exactly is in charge, this can be solved on a case-by-case basis. However, if the ministers of war, the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, the General Armament Officers, the Army Chiefs of Staff, the Navy Chiefs of Staff, and the Commanders of the Marine Corps are to be elected in the future, their commanders or chiefs of staff can also be qualified to join the Central Military Commission and become members of the Central Military Commission. Wang Guorui said.

This new military commission is also a place to balance the interests of all parties. The four departments of the General Staff Department, the General Political Department, the General Logistics Department, and the General Armament Department are necessary, while the chief of staff of the Navy and the commander of the Marine Corps are two important arms of the armed forces, and the chief of staff of the army must also join here, representing the interests of all sides. In the future, if there is a new branch of the military that is of strategic significance, then their commander or chief of staff can also be allowed to join the military commission, that is, the person who is actually responsible for the affairs of the service and arms. And this is also Wang Guorui's foreshadowing for the next development of the Air Force into the Military Commission, and even the next missile troops, high-tech troops, etc. can also provide a foundation.

"Lord Wang, then I went to be promoted to vice chairman, so who will take over as the chief of the general staff?" Hu Wei asked.

Hu Wei knew that it was impossible for him to continue to concurrently serve as the chief of the general staff in person, because it was very taboo for a superior deputy to personally serve as the head of the next important department. If something is not played well, it is easy for the deputy to bargain with the superior through the important departments of real power held by the subordinates. Therefore, it is a rule that the deputy of the superior does not directly serve as the leader of the subordinate. Except for Wang Guorui, who personally served as the commander of the Guards Division in the early days of the army, there was no such thing. And Wang Guorui later withdrew from the Guards Division, and then put Li Guodong in charge of the Guards Division.

"Let Qiu Baoren serve as the chief of the general staff!" Wang Guorui said.

"Qiu Baoren? He's a navy! Hu Wei said.

"What's wrong with the Navy? Isn't the Navy capable of serving as this Chief of the General Staff? In the future, there will be more and more things for the Navy and the Army to work together, so both the Navy and the Army should be treated fairly. In principle, this chief of the General Staff will be held by senior officers of all major branches of the armed forces in the future. In addition, among the deputy chiefs of staff of the General Staff, there will be deputy chiefs of general staff of various services, namely one for the Navy, one for the Marine Corps, and one for the Army. In the future, the General Staff will be a multi-service mixed department, and it will not be a purely army-born officer in charge. They will take on the task of joint command and then joint operations among the various branches of the armed forces. ”

"Husband, what about the general government?" Zheng Hong asked.

Wang Guorui thought for a while and said, "Let Li Fusheng, director of the General Office of the Military Commission, take up his post!" ”

When Zheng Hong heard this, she felt that this result was neither good nor bad, and it was quite acceptable. This Li Fusheng was the executive vice president of the military academy at the beginning, and he was responsible for training officers, and he had some experience in officer selection. In addition, he later served as the director of the General Office of the Military Commission, which can be regarded as being familiar with various affairs. Although front-line combat capability experience is almost non-existent. However, in this military and political system, military command experience is not a decisive factor, and Zheng Hong also has no experience in commanding the army to fight? However, she did not interfere in the command of the army, but was only responsible for the military and political affairs of the army. This general policy should not easily interfere in the affairs of the army's military orders, and this is not a big problem.

And Li Fusheng can be said to be one of Wang Guorui's hardcore cronies, this Li Fusheng is not a person who belongs to Hu Wei, nor a person who belongs to Zheng Hong, but a person who belongs to Wang Guorui. This Li Fusheng was promoted by Wang Guorui from the first batch of recruitment, and did not go through the hands of Hu Wei and Zheng Hong, so he is Wang Guorui's hardcore descendant. At the time of this reorganization, Hu Wei and Zheng Hong lost their own departments at the same time. The new chief of the General Staff was transferred from the Navy and had nothing to do with Hu Wei, so it was washed out. And Zheng Hong transferred Wang Guorui's cronies, and they gradually cleaned up Zheng Hong's direct influence in the General Political Department.

However, Zheng Hong is not worried, because after all, she is Wang Guorui's woman, even if Li Fusheng is Wang Guorui's cronies, she has to give herself some face, so there should be no major conflicts between the two at work. So Zheng Hong doesn't feel good or too bad, it's barely acceptable. Later, when she started to work, the resistance was not very great, but compared to Hu Weike, it was much better. Hu Wei has not only just been in danger of being his No. 2 person, Chen Liyan, to set up his own door, but also has been transferred from a navy as a direct subordinate of the chief of general staff, and Hu Wei's difficulties are much higher than Zheng Hong's. So Zheng Hong won't have any opinions, after all, her relationship with Wang Guorui is a very important link, at least all aspects must give her some face. Hu Wei is not so smooth, and it must take longer to run in. (To be continued.) )
