After saying this exclamation, Yang Zhen was slightly silent and said: "Lao Guo, in the Pacific Ocean, the US military has reached Japan's doorstep. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWe are also moving from Korea to Japan proper. On the battlefield in Southeast Asia, the Anglo-American coalition and the expeditionary force in Chongqing have also recovered the whole of Burma. ”

The British also increased their efforts and launched an attack on the Dutch East Indies. The Australian army, supported by the American army, also intensified its offensive against the Japanese army that invaded the mainland. As for us, we have recovered the whole of Tohoku and cut off the largest base from which Japan can obtain supplies. ”

"According to intelligence, both military raw materials and food supplies in Japan have fallen to the lowest point. On average, less than 30 percent of military factories operated, and steel production fell to 20 percent of pre-war levels. Residents have two rice balls a day, and even soldiers have no more than 500 grams of food per day. Prices have skyrocketed, supplies are scarce, and the economy is on the verge of collapse. ”

"In fact, with the exception of some diehards, most of the Japanese also knew that they could not fight. If it weren't for the natural obedience of the Japanese people, I am afraid that the Japanese would have learned from Italy a long time ago. However, after the Battle of Okinawa, the Japanese may have to make the next move. ”

"This war should have reached its final stage. Regardless of where the Americans choose to target their next attack, this war will not last long, maybe even a few months. The Japanese are very shrewd, and they will not take the final fate of the whole nation to compete with the US military on their own soil. ”

"The Japanese saw the war situation in Germany very clearly. Once the war is allowed to enter the mainland, the result can only be that the Japanese mainland is completely destroyed. If the war really enters the Japanese mainland, the whole of Japan is in danger of being completely destroyed. The so-called 100 million total jade fragments were shouted to the Americans and their own people. I think that wherever the Americans' next campaign target is, I am afraid that after the battle, the Japanese will bow their heads. ”

"In four or five months at the latest, this war will probably be over completely. Lao Guo, have you ever thought about what you want to do after the war? If you have any ideas, you can talk to me now, there are some things that I can help you solve or coordinate while I am still in the Northeast. I know you've got your own ideas right now. ”

Yang Zhen's words, Guo Bingxun hesitated slightly before saying: "No. 1, if the war is really about to end, I want to resign from the post of chief of staff of the Northeast Military Region and the Anti-Japanese Union after the war, and go to run a military school like the French Saint-Cyr Military Academy." After these years of war, I feel that what we lack most is not airplanes and artillery, but a systematic and formal military education system. ”

"Despite all your efforts, you have formed various training teams, training courses, and military schools. However, the training time for cadres at all levels is still too short, and it is better to say that it is a crash course than a military school. The army has been expanding all the time, and after a big war, grassroots cadres have suffered heavy casualties, so they can only speed up the pace of training. ”

"Ever since I became this Chief of Staff, I've been wondering when we'll be able to build a French military academy in Saint-Cyr, a real military academy like that. We should train our military commanders at the grassroots level in a systematic and formal manner, instead of the current military schools such as crash courses and cultural remedial schools. ”

"And after the big war in the past few years, I, the chief of staff, am exhausted and exhausted. After the end of the war against Japan, he could set up a military academy to fulfill his dreams and solve the biggest problems in the army, and at the same time he could rest and rest. ”

Guo Bingxun's idea, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "I studied the problem you said with the chairman and the boss during the Central Committee. As the level of equipment of our army rises, as well as the establishment is getting larger and larger. The original grassroots cadres can no longer meet their needs in terms of ability and level. ”

"The central authorities' intention is still to use the Soviet Union as a teacher, set up various military and political schools, and speed up the process of training cadres. In order to meet the needs of grass-roots commanders as the level of equipment rises in the troops, the focus will be on technical services and arms academies such as aviation, armored troops, and artillery. You have this idea, I can go and fight with the central government. ”

Yang Zhen put forward the idea of learning from the Soviet military education system, Guo Bingxun said: "No. 1, I don't agree with the Soviet-style military education concept of too finely divided. It is true that we do not have a supplementary education system for the reserve corps of university officers, as in Europe and the United States. In a country where university students are extremely valuable, we will not be able to build such a system, at least for a short time. ”

"But I still tend to cultivate a general training system like Europe and the United States, rather than simply dividing it by class. You also know that the division of infantry with artillery and armor on the battlefield is not so completely clear. If an artillery officer does not understand infantry tactics, how can he cooperate with the infantry? How can an infantry commander make full use of artillery cover if he knows only a little about artillery tactics? ”

"I still mean a three-year period, with the first year of basic military theory. In the second year, students will learn basic command knowledge regardless of major, and in the third year, they will study professional command by subject. However, regardless of the class, infantry tactics must be learned. At the same time, my idea is that all the cadets will join some university courses in addition to military knowledge. ”

"For example, subjects such as law, architecture, basic physics, and foreign languages should also be added to the army management course to cultivate the multi-faceted abilities of the trainees. After all, the troops are pyramid-shaped structures, and not everyone can rise to higher positions. Most of the grassroots cadres, after serving for a period of time, eventually have to be transferred to local work. ”

"Retired officers in Western countries have always been a good complement to the elite of society. Many of the top management of large companies are retired military officers, including Japanese. And if our cadres are retired from active service, they will be transferred to local work. The question of their level of knowledge and whether they can afford the work assigned to them is a question. ”

"The work of the military is a line, and whether you are transferred to a local job or engage in that aspect of work, you are faced with the same aspect. The difference between local work and military work is quite large. This requires us to find ways to enhance their own comprehensive quality while training military commanders, so that their own conditions can meet their needs after they go to work in local areas. ”

Guo Bingxun's idea, at least for now, seems to be a bit idealistic, but Yang Zhen shook his head slightly and said: "Old Guo, I can't say that your idea is not good, but judging from the current national conditions, it is a little too idealistic." Your theory should take into account our current national conditions. ”

"In a country where the majority of our people are still illiterate, the overall level of education of our citizens, as well as the popularity of education, are far inferior to those of Western countries. This point has been deeply felt since the time when we built the Northeast. In the case of a limited number of high school graduates, it is necessary to meet the needs of higher education as much as possible. ”

"Except for some technical colleges, the largest group we direct school enrollment should be junior high school graduates, or even groups with a lower education level. It is quite a high requirement for a student who has graduated from junior high school to study so many university courses in just three years. ”

"My idea is that, according to the current overall cultural level of our country, our military schools should still focus on the education method of specialization. After all, they are command schools, and the first thing they should do is to train qualified grassroots commanders for the troops. ”

"As for the rest, wait until the overall level of education in our country has been improved across the board. The minimum number of college students is not in such a short supply, reaching the average level of developed countries in the West, and we are adjusting according to the development and changes of the situation. ”

"And Lao Guo, my idea is that I support you to engage in military education. But with your current ability, it would be a bit of a waste to set up an infantry command school, or a command school for a certain branch of the service. My suggestion is that you set up a school that specializes in training high-level command personnel and comprehensive command personnel. ”

"If we adopt the basic military education model of specialization, then building a qualified senior command school for training middle and senior cadres, including at the regimental level, will be the most important part of our education in training middle and senior cadres with comprehensive command ability."

"However, in terms of basic military education, I think that in addition to learning from the Soviet Union, we can also learn from the experience of some Japanese. Although the Japanese have a poor strategic vision among senior officers, they have the best middle and lower rank officers. It is not embarrassing to use the enemy as a teacher. ”

"As for cadres below the regimental level, they should still be majored in infantry command, plus some air defense and artillery command majors under the corps. However, I think that this senior command school should not only have a conducting major. I would prefer that there will be a staff officer major, especially for the training of senior operational staff officers. ”

"I have already sent a report to the Central Committee, suggesting that we rely on our existing advanced training courses for middle and senior cadres of military regions to set up a military command academy to be responsible for the training of cadres at and above the regimental level. If you wish, I will recommend you to the central government to be the dean of this college. And I also think that you are absolutely capable of doing this job. ”

"Lao Guo, at present, the entire Northeast Battlefield is basically no major except for North Korea. The reorganization and replenishment of the troops has also been basically completed. I feel that you can now spare some of your energy to come up with a draft for the establishment of a military education system for the whole army. ”

"The military education system of our troops was established by you. At this point, you have a fair say and are a real expert in this area. I also believe in your strategic vision. However, I am not talking about just a military academy, but the establishment of a military education system for the entire army. ”

When he said this, Yang Zhen bit the two words of the whole army very hard. This means that this draft does not only refer to the Anti-Japanese Alliance, but also to the entire army, including the 18th Group Army in North China and the New Fourth Army in East China. But although it was only a little bit, Yang Zhen knew that Guo Bingxun would understand what he meant.

Yang Zhen's thoughts and ideas, Guo Bingxun can understand his intentions with a little pondering. Moreover, what Yang Zhen said is not wrong, the overall education level in China is relatively low, and the number of high school students and college students every year cannot even meet the needs of its own construction. Compared with Western countries, the difference is even more unknown.

Including the base areas in North China, except for the North Manchurian region, which implemented a comprehensive nine-year compulsory education system ahead of schedule, the education level of the rest of the regions remained at a relatively low standard. Moreover, at present, the total area of Northeast China, including the various base areas in North China, and even northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui, accounts for only one-third of the country, and the proportion of population is even lower.

The military education system of the Western powers was based on the relatively high level of education of their own people. This kind of education system is still a bit too much for the current situation in the country. After all, it is much less difficult to train an infantry platoon commander than to train an engineer.
