The Marine Corps Command was temporarily located in the Third Fleet Compound, and the Fleet allocated a separate yard as the office space for the Marine Corps Command.

In terms of establishment, the Marine Corps has changed from being directly subordinate to the fleet to being directly subordinate to the naval command, and its rank has been raised, and it has also been separated from the establishment of the fleet. In the past, both Marine brigades of the Marine Corps were in the Third Fleet formation, while the First and Second Fleets had no Marine Corps.

Therefore, for a long time in the past, when the Chinese Marine Corps was mentioned, it was necessary to mention the Third Fleet.

Now the Marine Corps has been officially upgraded and has truly become an independent branch of the entire Navy. Of course, it is not an independent branch of the military, which is different from the US military.

It should be pointed out that, judging by the current situation and future trends, it may only be a matter of time before the Marine Corps becomes an independent service.

The place where Li Mu lives has not changed, it is still in the compound of the fleet organ, but his identity has changed. The army uniform, which had been worn for more than ten years, was replaced by a more foreign navy uniform. September in the Lunan area is still scorching hot, so he still wears white summer clothes, which are indeed much more handsome than the army summer clothes in Tubula.

The types of naval uniforms are relatively complex, and those of military cadres are even more complicated, and even Li Lu can't figure it out. Just the regular clothes, there are summer clothes, spring and autumn clothes, and winter clothes, and there are two kinds of white and navy blue. Those military logos, collar badges, epaulettes, armbands, seniority badges, cockades, collar flowers...... And so on, it's even more complicated.

Fortunately, Su Xiaobing has completely adapted to the role of life secretary, and has formed a good tacit understanding with Wang Guoqing, Wang Guoqing plays the role of confidential secretary, and he takes into account the life of the chief.

The chief is busy with military affairs, and he has little time to remember trivial things such as what he will dress for tomorrow.

Li Muzheng is at the military level, and the treatment he enjoys is very different from that of the deputy military level. At this level, according to the regulations, they can take the army's official plane, and they are officially equipped with guards and internal support, and the basic rations, vehicles, and housing are all provided by the troops.

Although he has enjoyed this treatment for a long time, it is now that he really complies with the regulations.

What he enjoys at this level is equivalent to the treatment of a high-ranking official.

Not an exaggeration at all.

There is a watershed between the deputy army level and the regular army level, too many people are stuck at the main division level and can't go up, and they strive for a deputy army level treatment before retirement. And those who can go to the substantive positions at the regular military level have to do it. Li Mu stalked Wen Chaoyang to come over as a political commissar, and the tacit understanding with him is one aspect, and the other aspect is that Wen Chaoyang's situation is not ideal, although he has only been in the deputy army for two years, but if he does not have more achievements, he is likely to waste valuable time at the level of the deputy army.

Leading cadres at the regular army level, who are a few months short of 34 years old, have blinded the eyes of a group of people. At this time, some people who had been upset with Li Mu before realized that it was reasonable to press Li Mu's promotion above, and he had been promoted too many times. At the school officer stage, his youth was not so obvious. After all, some highly educated officers are lieutenant colonels when they come out of the school gate, and they are only in their early thirties.

However, although he still carries two bars and four stars on his shoulders, the two gold stars on the earthy yellow background of the seniority chapter have cruelly illustrated an iron-clad fact that this thirty-four-year-old young man is a regular military cadre!

On his first day in office, Li Mu convened all the brigade leaders of the two Marine Corps brigades together for a meeting, and he first announced the above decision on the expansion and reorganization of the Marine Corps.

"Let me first talk about the plan for the reorganization of the troops in the current formation. ”

Li Mu glanced at it, and his gaze fell on the faces of Yang Jun and Brigade Commander Chen of the other brigade. Yang Jun was a little upset in his heart. The expansion of the Marine Corps is a very good opportunity for him to take another step forward with the increase in the ranks of the troops, so that he is a big step closer to the ranks of generals.

The fact is that he was very disappointed, and he didn't expect that the No. 1 of the current Marine Corps would be the "very capable instructor" he had taken a fancy to.

The rank of the colonel is up, and it is a matter of time before the rank goes up. It can already be said that Li Mu has actually entered the ranks of generals. His military rank remained colonel, but because of one problem he did not serve long enough.

Look at his seniority badge, what kind of seniority badge is that. The other people's ones look dense, but his, very sparse. Counting fourteen years before and after, fourteen years of military experience, the seniority chapter has reached the military level, a full six layers!

This is called the cadre who attended the meeting, how embarrassing can be the teacher cadre who can be Li Mu's uncle!

When they were in the army for 14 years, many of them were only battalion and company cadres!

It's hard to get used to such a drop all at once.

However, no matter what, Li Mu is not only the chief of staff of the Marine Corps Headquarters, but also the deputy head of the Marine Corps Integration Leading Group, and everyone knows that the latter post has a higher gold content, while the former post is directly in charge of the Marine Corps, and all aspects have been taken into account, and he is absolutely authoritative. It is so that the reform of the Marine Corps can be unswervingly carried out in accordance with the will of the Supreme High Command.

"Brigade Commander Yang, Brigade Commander Chen, your troops, plus some units transferred from the Army, should be reorganized into the First Marine Division to build a globally deployed mission force capable of independently carrying out a variety of combat missions. Li Mu said.

Yang Jun and Chen Feng's mood is even more complicated, which shows that the position of commander of the first division of the Marine Corps will take one of the two of them, and they will not be allowed to separate the division commander and the division political commissar.

However, Li Mu said, "The First Marine Division is a regular army-level unit, and the strength will exceed 20,000 troops, if there is no accident, after the formation is completed, I will serve as the first division commander, and the Marine Corps Headquarters will become an organization in charge of construction, and the First Marine Division will be directly under the command of the Joint Operations General Staff." ”

Come on, if you think too much, you don't have anyone's share at all.

Li Mu looked down at the establishment table, these preparations were finalized and approved by the Supreme Command.

"The 1st Marine Division will have four combat brigades, two combat support brigades, and one aviation brigade. There is a heavy brigade in it, and it has been decided to transfer the 707th Brigade of the Army as a whole to be reorganized and used as a heavy armored assault force of the 1st Marine Division. All existing armoured forces were consolidated and reorganized into a combat brigade to be used as the main attack force of the second wave. ”

He paused, glanced at it, and said, "The most critical thing is the construction of two brand new rapid deployment brigades. For the first time, the Marine Corps introduced the rapid deployment concept with two rapid deployment mission brigades capable of reaching around the globe in 24 hours. Equipped with high-mobility armored vehicles of less than 20 tons, lighter and faster, the construction of these two rapid deployment brigades will be completed with reference to the model of the 107th Experimental Infantry Regiment of the Army, drawing on their experience. ”

He put up a finger and said solemnly, "In the future, the two rapid deployment brigades will be the most frequently used troops, and it is very likely that they will become the troops stationed at the overseas support base, so I want to emphasize that for the construction of the two rapid deployment brigades, any of you here will raise awareness for me and support this work at all costs." ”

"Before I stepped down as deputy director of the Equipment R&D and Procurement Committee, I signed a procurement contract to purchase related equipment, including 100 eight-wheeled amphibious armored vehicles, which will be used to equip two rapid deployment brigades. The requirement for the Rapid Deployment Brigade is that within one year of its establishment, the unit must have the ability to deploy no less than one battalion of marines, including 20 wheeled armored vehicles, by air transport to the world outside the Americas within 12 hours. ”

Yang Jun couldn't help but interject at this time, "Chief of Staff, deployment capabilities are closely related to the transportation capacity of the Air Force, and this is not something we can control." ”

"I know. Li Mu nodded and said, "After three years, the Air Force's long-distance transportation capability can meet the demand, and what we need to temper is the ability to quickly dispatch and combat deployment, focusing on logistics support and intelligence support." Of course, this is a joint operation of multiple services and arms, and there are many areas that need to be coordinated. But don't worry, the joint operations support system is going on at the same time, our rapid deployment brigade has been completed, and the entire joint operations system is almost taking shape. ”

After a pause, Li Mu said, "However, what is the tradition of our Marine Corps, which is to charge ahead and undertake the most dangerous and difficult combat missions. This will not change in the future. What we need to temper is the independent combat capability of the troops in the absence of support. The paratroopers of the Air Force have taken the lead in this respect, and our marines and paratroopers have always been strictly trained according to the standards of special forces, and we must strive to catch up with the independent combat capability in unfamiliar areas, and we must not allow the paratroopers to be compared. ”

When it comes to this, all the leaders are dark and dignified, and there is no harm if there is no contrast.

Li Mu looked down at the establishment table again, and continued, "The center of gravity of the expansion is the Second Marine Division. It has already been determined that the army's amphibious combat units as a whole will be assigned to the Marine Corps, and the construction will be carried out with the landing operation as the main combat mission. The mission orientation of the 2nd Marine Division is markedly different from that of the 1st Marine Division. However, the 2nd Marine Division is also a regular army-level unit, and the number of soldiers will exceed 20,000. It also became four combat brigades and two combat support brigades plus an aviation brigade. ”

Hearing Li Mu say this, Yang Jun and Chen Feng's minds were alive.

Another full-fledged unit!

That means a lot of extra positions out of thin air.

To equip such a large-scale marine division, it is necessary to have at least two or three regular military cadres and six or seven deputy military cadres. Yang Jun and Chen Feng finally had some smiles on their faces. They don't dare to think about the regular military position, but the deputy military position can use their brains.

According to this plan, it will take about two or three years to basically complete the reorganization and expansion, and by that time, their conditions will have passed, and it is logical that there will be no problem in the deputy army. There are not many mid- and high-ranking officers in the Marine Corps themselves, and they are very advantageous.

At present, it seems that what will happen to them in the future, I am afraid that the right to speak is in the hands of the young chief of staff of the regular army who is sitting in the main seat.

Don't look at how strong Li Mu's background is, just his resume in the past fourteen years can blind the eyes of many senior generals. Not to mention that compared to it, any item in his resume alone is probably an achievement that many people have never had in their military life.

From this point of view, Li Mu's regular military position is deserved.

Do not forget that the youngest commander of the Red Army was only in his twenties.

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, asked questions, and said, "Chief of Staff, according to this organization, first of all, the Global Rapid Reaction Force is involved in our Marine Corps, and now the amphibious combat unit of the Army has been reorganized into a new Marine Division. On the Army side...... Will there be an opinion?"

The question hits the nail on the head.

To put it bluntly, the army has been the boss for decades, and obviously does not want to lose the position of boss, while the navy and air force, as an upstart, have been holding their breath to drag down the big brother of the army and sit on it themselves. The Navy and the Air Force have been on guard against each other. Where did the Navy's aircraft carrier aviation unit bring together so many elites, it is obvious from the air force aviation unit, and very few people know what kind of game has been played in it.

Even back to the time when the naval aviation unit was formed, where did the personnel and equipment come from, and the formation was transferred from the air force. Where did the army aviation units come from, they were transferred in formation from the side of the Air Force. Where did the Marines come from, transferred from the Army combat units into formation......

In other words, when your army is capable, our air force and navy can do it, the air force has paratroopers, and the navy has marines. On the other hand, what your navy and air force can do, our army can also do most of the army has aviation, and the army also has its own landing craft force!

In such a situation, well, your Marine Corps has been reformed, and you are also engaged in global deployment of troops, which is a job grab with my Continental Army, and there is no opinion, it is false.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "Of course, the army must have its own ideas and opinions. However, this is a trend in the development of the Navy. The era of relying solely on a certain branch of the armed forces to carry out combat missions is long over, and the future pattern of operations will be that multiple services and arms will cooperate closely. Perform military tasks under the unified command of the Joint Operations Staff. ”

Glancing at it, Li Mudao said, "The future of the army is a situation in which command is highly concentrated, all in all, the change in the establishment of the force is to meet the operational needs of the new era environment, and to better serve the defense of the country's territorial sovereignty and integrity, and the maintenance of national interests and security." The supreme mission of our people's army has not changed. ”

Li Mu stood up and said in a deep voice, "Comrades, the great drama of the reform of the Marine Corps has begun, and everyone here, including me, will become participants and witnesses of this history. I hope that you will put the overall situation first, put your personal interests aside, do a good job in this work wholeheartedly, and truly implement the arrangements made by the Supreme Command for military reform. ”

Everyone stood up with a resolute expression!

Note: Today's two-in-one, the brothers are cool, come to some monthly passes to let our Lao Li also be happy.
