After being silent for a long time, Chen Tao said, "Radicalism is the characteristic of the plan you proposed, and within thirty years, such a plan will not be used. The implementation of such a plan means that the military budget will increase by 20 percent every year, which is absolutely impossible. ”

After a pause, he said, "Streamlining the force is the main principle, and it has been decided that the eighteen group armies will be reorganized into thirteen group armies. That's for sure. I came to you because I wanted to hear your opinions, what to cut, and what to change. ”

Li Mu did not hesitate at all, picked up the pen and wrote down some troop numbers in the work notebook he carried with him, then tore it off and handed it to Chen Tao.

Chen Tao took it, looked at it carefully, then folded it and put it in his pocket, and said, "Well, I came to you mainly for this matter." ”

As the general with the most combat experience and actual combat command experience in the army, and the only general who has commanded nearly 10,000 troops, Li Mu's opinion is quite important. There is not the slightest ambiguity in the future of the army, and Li Mu will not consider other factors.

Li Mu said in a deep voice, "Chief, I have a different opinion on the use of the number. ”

"You say. Chen Tao said.

Li Mudao, "The existing military number is inherited from the war period, and the number represents the inheritance, history, and honor of a unit. I am against that. ”

Chen Tao nodded and said, "I will sort out your opinions and submit them." ”

Seeing that Chen Tao didn't mean to say anything else, Li Mu asked, "Chief, there are no new changes in my arrangements from above?"

Chen Tao said with a smile, "You are already a major general, and you are also the first president of the Naval Aviation University, if you don't give me this school to tidy up, don't think about moving your ass." ”

Li Mu sighed and said, "I still want to go back to the army, the army is my stage, you know, I am an out-and-out Continental Armyist." ”

"So I should let you stay in the navy for a while longer, and fix your stinky problem. Chen Tao said and waved his hand, "Okay, you go back, and get Haida up well." ”

"Yes!"

Li Mu saluted and left, returning directly to Lunan.

The biggest achievement he brought back was a 50 percent increase in the budget of the Naval Aviation University next year on the existing basis. This is the highest increase of any institution.

This means that the budget for the Naval Aviation University next year will reach 7.5 billion yuan. What makes some people feel strange is that other colleges and universities have not expressed any opinions on this, not because of Li Mu's identity, but because these more than seven billion yuan are not a lot for the Naval Aviation University.

Fifteen Flying Sharks will be used up to half.

The Aviation Brigade will be supplemented with 15 two-seater Flying Sharks next year, and the current 12 will bring the total to 27. And this scale is only more than half of the number of establishments. The number of warplanes in the training aviation brigade is 50, which is composed of half of each single and double seats.

Therefore, in such a situation, the increased budget of the Naval Aviation University does not seem excessive. Don't forget, the units equipped with fighter jets have always been big money-burners, let alone universities engaged in teaching.

It's just that if someone else is the principal, I'm afraid that he won't have the ability to replenish so many fighters in such a short period of time, especially when the production of flying sharks is limited.

The University of Naval Aviation needs such a strong figure to guarantee the rapid development of the school.

Li Mu's work did not become idle because of the end of the annual work, but became busier. JG progressed step by step, from top to bottom, and as a member of the team, he even needed a dedicated telecommunications room to communicate with the above.

He put forward a lot of ideas and hundreds of proposals, large and small, the smallest even at the infantry company level. These can be said to be his most experienced, and they are also the most important points above. Nowadays, there are very few people in the army who have experience in commanding operations at the company and platoon level, and he is the only general like Li Mu who has more than 100 combat experiences and killed nearly 500 enemies.

This year is a year of teaching, a year of research, and it is the only year in which Li Mu has not participated in actual combat command operations, and it is also a year in which he has not been on the front line. His status as the principal is solid.

After the reform of the Military Service Law, the winter conscription was changed to the summer and autumn conscription, the time for new recruits was adjusted to July and August, and the enlistment was approved on September 1, and the entire military movement ended on the last day of September. Therefore, the time for the retirement of veterans was concentrated in August.

That is, the veterans spend their last Army Day in the army, and then pack up their bedding and retire from active service.

On July 31, 20xx, Li Zewen, a non-commissioned officer and staff officer of the principal's office, knocked on the door with a telegram paper in his hand and entered the principal's office.

He saluted, "Report, Rector, message from the 1st Marine Division." ”

Li Mu, who was in the process of instructing the documents, put down his pen and raised his gaze and asked, "What is the content?"

The first division commander of the 1st Marine Division was him, which was the unit he personally brought out, known as the world's first division, and has begun to shine in the past two years. Zhang Yimo, who took over as division commander, did a good job, which allowed Li Mu's thinking on building the combat effectiveness of the troops to be very well continued.

Li Zewen reported, "Please attend the Army Day celebration and the veterans' retirement ceremony. ”

Li Mu was slightly stunned, slowly stood up, and his tone was a little lonely all of a sudden, "Oh, it's time for veterans to retire." ”

"Yes, Headmaster. Starting tomorrow, retired veterans will leave the army one after another and return to their hometowns. Li Zewen's mood is also not too high.

"Okay, I will definitely participate, tomorrow all the activities will be postponed, and I will participate in the whole process. Li Mudao.

"Yes!"

Li Mu saw that Li Zewen was still standing there and asked, "What else is going on?"

Li Zewen looked hesitant.

He was already a sergeant, and after receiving an exceptional promotion, he chose the same path as Wang Guoqing, not to be promoted, but to take the path of a professional non-commissioned officer.

"Xiao Li, what's going on with you, what are you bold enough to say, is there any difficulty at home?" Li Mu asked with concern.

Li Mu attached great importance to this little sergeant with the same name and surname as the martyred armed police soldier who died, and it was definitely not because of the extension of his feelings. Not to mention his meritorious performance in the previous flood fighting and rescue work, his work performance in the past three years is also obvious to all. Relying only on self-study, the ability in the staff profession does not belong to the officers who came from the professional class.

Li Zewen walked over slowly, lowered his head slowly, his voice became very small, handed over a resignation report, and said, "Principal, I want to go home." ”

"Okay, take family leave, this is a report, I approved it for you. Li Mu picked up the resignation report and looked at it.

No department can call the shots of the staff around Li Mu, and only Li Mu himself has the power to approve.

When Li Mu saw the words of the resignation report, he was suddenly stunned, and then slowly put down the report and stared at Li Zewen.

"Xiao Li, what's your situation?" asked Li Mu calmly.

A few years ago, he would have been furious, but now he is no longer the impulsive person he is.

Li Zewen said in a deep tone, "Headmaster, I feel very tired, my heart is very tired. ”
