Chapter 779: Take it
Front command of the Liberation Army in Dar es Salaam.
Although the Air Force successfully annihilated a squadron of F-15s of the US Army and nearly a dozen F-16C/Ds of the Ugandan Air Force on the front line, without any damage itself, this impressive result can be regarded as an extremely brilliant victory. However, the atmosphere in the command was not at all relaxed by the great victory of the front-line air force.
"Old Song, I'll write this battle report." Chief of Staff Zheng Quan licked his somewhat dry lips and said softly.
"No, I'll write the battle report." Brigade Commander Song Jihong did not hesitate to reject Zheng Quan's suggestion, and this time he reported the combat situation to the above, not to ask for credit but to take it, and this was still an extremely serious consequence: one by one, he went to war without authorization against the orders of the Central Military Commission and the General Staff Headquarters, and provoked a war with the US army.
There is absolutely no credit to be given to this. The army has its own strict discipline, otherwise it will become a big disaster, so the order and prohibition is the most important point in the army, Song Jihong decided to fight without authorization this time, and he was destined to face extremely serious consequences at the moment of making the decision.
Now Chief of Staff Zheng Quan is trying to shoulder this responsibility with him, although Song Jihong is moved in his heart, but the unit of the 86 th Mechanized Infantry Brigade cannot get rid of the military commander at once, and now the troops in Africa are already in danger because of their bad relations with the US military, and the slightest misfortune will be a situation from which they will never recover, and at this time it is all the more necessary to maintain the effective leadership and command of the troops.
After Dai Qiliang was silent for a while, he stood up and said, "The report is written by Lao Song, but the situation shows that Lao Zheng and I will call the Military Commission separately, and this time the political commissar of the command headquarters has not yet arrived due to illness, and the three of us are the main leaders of the command, and no matter what, the decision is the result of collective decision-making." ”
Chief of Staff Zheng Quan glanced at Dai Qiliang in surprise, in the 86th Infantry Brigade, Dai Qiliang is an outsider who has only been here for less than half a year, he is a person with a great background, it is estimated that he came to the 86th Infantry Brigade to make up for the lack of qualifications, after all, he is only 37 years old, and if there is no merit that can be said, it is difficult for someone to be forcibly promoted again.
When Song Jihong was the battalion commander, Zheng Quan was the most effective company commander under him, and with Song Jihong's official fortune and prosperity step by step, Zheng Quan also followed Song Jihong step by step to the position of today's brigade chief of staff, and the two can be described as a prosperous ironcore relationship.
After Chang came to Africa safely, the political commissar of the brigade was so sick that he was almost left with only one breath left, and he could only lie in the hospital, and it seemed that he could not stay in the 86 Jibu Brigade. It's just that the war came suddenly, and it was too late for the boss to send a new brigade political commissar to the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, so Song Jihong, Dai Qiliang, and Zheng Quan formed a front-line command and was fully responsible for the command of the African garrison.
In this way, although the command team of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade is understaffed, the efficiency of command and decision-making is good, Dai Qiliang, the deputy brigade commander, has always put his position quite clearly, neither does everything have no sense of existence, nor will he do it with Song Jihong in order to brush up on the sense of existence, but sincerely put forward his own ideas and suggestions, and make everyone's decision-making as perfect as possible. That's pretty much the best performance.
Therefore, Song Jihong's recognition of this deputy is also very high, if it weren't for the US military, Song Jihong passed his first term safely, and he would definitely recommend Dai Qiliang to take over his position after returning to China.
"Lao Dai, Lao Zheng, we have received your wishes, but there is really no need to let the leadership of the 86th Mechanized Infantry Brigade be wiped out, this is not in our overall interests." Song Jihong obviously didn't expect that at this time, Dai Qiliang was still silently standing on his side, and a warmth welled up in his heart, "After suffering such a big loss, the US military will definitely not give up in the future, and the living environment of the 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade will become extremely bad. ”
Song Jihong can climb step by step to the key post of brigade commander in the army, of course, not only military talent, but also quite a lot of achievements in strategy and politics, the central government's grand strategy of developing African resources, for the development of economic and military development is of great importance, although his level is not clear due to the unconventional development of the air force and navy, now the demand for many rare metals has reached an extremely alarming point, if such a large demand can not be obtained from the outside quickly, domestic mining alone can not meet the demand.
A series of special alloys and alloy steels, composite materials, etc., developed by Dushi Heavy Industries, with the continuous expansion of production capacity, have reached the point where they have begun to use national inventories, of course, these are top-secret information, not Song Jihong can know, but since Song Jihong came to Africa, the exploration of the Central African Group has used a large number of helicopters to improve the efficiency of exploration, and I have personally felt the urgency of exploiting African resources.
You must know that a heavy helicopter like the Mi-26 costs tens of thousands of dollars per hour, which is obviously very cost-effective in terms of cost, but the Central African Group completely ignores the high cost, and the taste in the middle is very worth tasting for those who are interested.
Whether the situation in the Democratic Republic of the Congo can be controlled or not is of great importance to the exploitation of resources in western Tanzania, if hostage kidnapping incidents like last time emerge one after another, it is impossible for the Central African group to invest on a large scale in western Tanzania. The decision of the Kurtu armed forces, Song Jihong implemented it to the letter, if it weren't for the Yankees' sideways footing, the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo would almost be stuck. Kurtu is under control.
It's a pity, Song Jihong sighed in his heart, it seems that he has no chance to complete this task. "Our 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade undertakes the task of military support for the development of African resources, but judging from the situation we are facing at home, the Persian Gulf is not only in flames, the Hindus is recovering quickly with the support of the Americans, and we are facing the main force of the U.S. military in the Pacific Ocean, so in the short term, China will basically not send new troops to Africa, and we can only rely on our 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade to maintain the situation." Song Jihong breathed a sigh of relief and said to the two deputies.
To be honest, he really doesn't want Dai Qiliang and Zheng Quan to be removed or transferred from the top at this time, because this kind of big move in the leadership team has too much impact on the troops, although Dai Qiliang is not too familiar with the troops, but there is no problem in terms of ability, he left Dai Qiliang is not a big problem, Zheng Quan knows the troops well, and with Dai Qiliang it complements each other. That's why Song Jihong insisted on taking the blame alone.
"Old Song, don't rush to report the results of the battle first," Dai Qiliang knew what Song Jihong meant, in fact, he was a person with a lot of background, and he knew more things than Song Jihong, of course, he knew the significance of the existence of the 86 Mechanized Infantry Brigade in Africa. "I have an idea, but I don't know if it's going to work yet, I'll give it a call and try it out."
