In Li Mu's office, sitting across the desk is his old partner Wen Chaoyang, who has just arrived.

Wen Chaoyang has aged a lot, his temples have begun to turn white, he is already over fifty people, and the difference between him and Li Mu in appearance is even more obvious at this time.

And Wen Chaoyang also carried a general star, and the seniority chapter was densely packed with regular military ranks, indicating that this veteran had rich military experience.

From the field army to the instructor of the Army Academy, and then to the director of the administrative department, after meeting Li Mu, his life has changed. He successively served as the political commissar of the 107th Experimental Infantry Regiment of the Army's star unit and the political commissar of the Third Division of the Armed Police. As for other deputy positions, I don't know how much I have experienced.

Of course, Wen Chaoyang knew very well that he was able to transfer from the armed police force to the navy and serve as the political commissar of the Marine Corps Headquarters, and he crossed the threshold between the deputy army and the regular army, which many people could not cross, completely because of his old partner in front of him.

Senior qualifications make Wen Chaoyang have a high prestige, which is what Li Mu has to rely on.

"Lao Li, I won't say that you didn't wait for me to take office to hold a mobilization meeting, what you said at the mobilization meeting, no matter how chic it is, is understandable to grit your teeth, but you can't stop other leaders from speaking. You, you, after all these years, your temper hasn't changed at all. Wen Chaoyang shook his head and sighed.

Li Mu smiled, refilled Wen Chaoyang's teacup, and said, "Old Wen, have you ever thought about why the above asked me to be in charge of this reorganization and expansion, and gave me the position of chief of staff of the Marine Corps Command. In all fairness, I, Li Mu, didn't have anything more than others, so why did I have to. ”

Wen Chaoyang nodded slowly and said, "This is a job that offends people." ”

"You're to the point. ”

Li Mu took a sip of tea and said, "The reorganization of the army has always been a chore, and I think you know how much resistance and how many factors need to be taken care of." Our army can be said to be one of the armies that has experienced the most wars, from the era of the Red Army to the era of the Eighth Route Army, and then to the era of the People's Liberation Army. What was once 70 armies has become 18 group armies, and there may be fewer in the future. Number, historical inheritance, the roots of so many old leaders, the relationship here is too complicated. ”

Sighing, Li Mudao, "The situation of the Marine Corps is relatively better, after all, the establishment is not large, the history is not long, but there is still resistance. What did the above ask me to do, isn't it that I know that I dare to do it, and I am not afraid of offending people. ”

He pointed to his seniority badge and said, "I can tell you clearly, if it weren't for the fact that the Marine Corps happened to be in this situation, I'm afraid I'd have to wait a few more years for my regular rank." ”

Wen Chaoyang smiled and said, "It turns out that you understand everything. ”

"Why, you think I'm going to be complacent, and I'm getting carried away when I sit in this position, and you're underestimating me, brother. Li Mu laughed.

With a serious expression, Wen Chaoyang said in a deep voice, "The number of the troops, the transfer of cadres, and the configuration of posts are all very sensitive matters. If one is not handled well, it is easy to make a mess. Lao Li, where are you going to start? ”

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "I just want to study this matter with you." The current situation is very chaotic, the Marine Corps Command has just been established, the staffing is not yet complete, and the leadership organs of the brigade headquarters of the two brigades are very complete, and even the special operations regiment on Hainan Island has its own command structure. Before doing something, you have to take the power first. ”

"How to collect power?" Wen Chaoyang's eyes lit up.

Li Mudao, "The current Marine Corps Command organs are almost an empty shelf, and in order to take over power, we must first have sufficient Marine Corps Command organs. ”

After a pause, he said, "I plan to transfer most of the leaders of the two Marine brigades to the headquarters, abolish the leadership organs of the two brigade headquarters, and only retain the day-to-day management functions. ”

"Revocation?" Wen Chaoyang was a little surprised, and hesitated, "Won't this be a little stronger." Not to mention the main obstacle, there are quite a few cadres in the leading organs of the two brigade headquarters, and the Marine Corps Command will definitely not be able to let go of so many people, so how can the extra part of the people be arranged?"

Li Mudao, "Divert and enrich the grassroots troops. ”

Shaking his head, Wen Chaoyang said, "This can't digest so many cadres." ”

The Marine Corps Command is a new streamlined organization, which will include a large number of technical non-commissioned officers, so the cadre establishment will be reduced as much as possible. However, the leading organs of the two brigade headquarters are old-fashioned institutions, with bloated personnel and quite a large number of cadres.

Li Mu nodded slightly and said, "How about setting up an officer training team?"

In the end, it is an old partner, as soon as he heard this, Wen Chaoyang knew what Li Mu wanted to do, "You are planning to prepare cadres for the newly formed troops first." ”

"That's right. Li Mu said in a deep voice, "I will try my best to win over the troops transferred from the army as a whole, so that they can retain as many cadres as possible. At that time, the addition of these extra cadres will enable the newly formed Marine Corps to form combat effectiveness earlier, mainly in ......"

"The main thing is to complete the digestion of all aspects as soon as possible. Wen Chaoyang helped him say it.

Li Mu smiled slightly, "That's right." ”

After all, Lao Cheng is more stable and has more experience in sports struggles in all aspects, Wen Chaoyang said in a deep voice, "Lao Li." In doing so, you will offend a large number of people. ”

Li Mudao, "Do you have concerns?"

Wen Chaoyang shook his head helplessly and said, "You still tell me this." If I have concerns, I might as well be the director of the student department in the Lu Academy, now it's not the dean, what's the matter, it's also the vice dean, how comfortable it is to have a small life. ”

After a pause, he said in a deep voice, "Revoke the two brigade headquarters leading organs, not to mention whether the higher authorities will approve it." The two leading organs of the brigade headquarters, four leading cadres at the rank of full division, and more than a dozen cadres of the main regiment of the deputy division are not to be withdrawn at once. ”

Li Mu nodded slowly and said, "In order to smoothly advance the reorganization and expansion of the Marine Corps, we must first have a high degree of leadership. There is the leadership of the brigade headquarters in the middle, and the order of the Marine Corps command, to be honest, I am worried about whether it can be thoroughly implemented. Therefore, it is necessary to abolish the leading organs of the brigade headquarters and reorganize and dismantle the leading organs. ”

His fingers habitually tapped on the table, and he said in a deep voice, "The arrangement and placement of so many cadres is indeed a very difficult job. My opinion is that adjustment is the main thing, and change of jobs is supplemented. ”

"Changing jobs?" Wen Chaoyang's brows jumped.

"Yes. Li Mu's expression was serious, "Some cadres below the deputy division level who are no longer suitable to continue to serve as leaders of the army in all aspects, including but not limited to age factors, should be persuaded to change jobs. Maybe we have to put more effort into their job resettlement. ”

Wen Chaoyang nodded slightly, "There is only this way now." I'll take care of that. ”

Li Mu smiled, "Old Wen, I haven't reached the time when I need you to block the gun for me." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a political commissar, and ideological work is originally my business, so it's decided. Wen Chaoyang couldn't help but say.

Li Mu was very moved in his heart.
