"We have won brutal victories in the hard battles of several wars in recent times"

"But our goal is always to get a good win, a good win."

"Every time we fight, we innovate, we change, we change our clothes, and then our military strength increases."

"Why? It's because we suffer and we lose. ”

"It's because we've shed tears and we've shed blood."

"But should we change first and shed less blood and tears?"

"How to maintain the competitiveness of the army and the advanced nature of tactics in peacetime. It's what all of us should think. ”

"The tide of military reform is an unstoppable torrent."

"Changing clothes, we should really accept it. If we don't change today, we will still be backward tomorrow, and we will still use flesh and blood to pave the road to victory. ”

“……”

The commander of the T division said very resolutely at this time.

At this time, the will needs to be strong, and the signal released must be resolute.

Several company commanders had already prepared and sighed.

Listen to the meaning of the commander of the T division.

The momentum of military reform is unstoppable.

In the future, we must adapt to the trend.

As for the route, it is still being explored, but the general direction and measures are also understood by everyone.

After all, pilots are also being carried out in other places, a little earlier than the Seventh Iron and Steel Regiment.

The chief of staff of the army group did not speak much.

Li Xiu originally thought that the minutes of this meeting would discuss the specific contents of the exercise.

But... To his surprise, except for one mention at the beginning, the rest of the exercises basically did not mention anything again.

In fact, it is also reasonable, a regimental-level confrontation is not worthy of the attention of so many division leaders.

What they care about should be something deeper.

Even, Li Xiu felt that the minutes of this meeting were simply the superiors instilling some new concepts.

As for the exercises, just an introduction.

The specific content is discussed by both sides, but the main content is directional guidance.

And when it comes to military reform.

After all, Li Xiu traveled from later generations and had a little understanding of the PLA's famous ten major disarmaments.

Of course, only a little.

In fact, before the twenty-first century, there have been nine streamlining and integration of disarmament.

It is not difficult to understand why the officers are so afraid.

Before the 21st century, the field army adopted a brutal elimination of the last position.

And every time the PLA is streamlined and reorganized, a large part of the total number of PLA soldiers will be cut.

At its peak in 1975, the PLA had 6 million personnel, but by 1990, only 3 million remained.

Of the 11 major military regions, four have been merged, more than 30 units at and above the army level have been reduced, some leadership and management systems have been reduced, and the personnel of the Central Military Commission's officer headquarters have been reduced by half.

As a result of the abolition, merger, demotion, and restructuring of the troops, more than 5,900 units at and above the regimental level have been reduced.

This disarmament ratio is terrifying.

The grassroots officers watched the soldiers around them retire from the army, and their worries and fears were hidden in their hearts.

And the officers above the regimental level, after revocation, merger, demotion, restructuring ... It is also a lot of unstable, a large number of restorations. Naturally afraid.

Of course, this kind of disarmament is unstoppable, and it is not something that Li Xiu can change.

Military reform is for the sake of structural optimization.

It is to make the allocation of resources more reasonable.

Part of the reason is because of the cost of military reequipment.

Only by reducing the scale can we improve the quality.

The second part of the reason is the same as what this military exercise showed.

New forms of warfare have emerged.

Why will electronic information warfare become the mainstream in the future?

A big part of the reason for this is because he can influence the situation of the battle at a small cost.

All it takes is one electromagnetic interference bomb, and a tank company costing hundreds of millions of dollars becomes blind scrap metal.

In short, military reform is all aimed at optimizing the structure and readjustment.

This kind of improvement is more obvious than the impact of breakthroughs in weapons and equipment.

Army building is not as simple as imagined.

The development of scientific and technological strength is only part of it.

Structural optimization and adjustment is another key part.

The content of the last military reform was not a simple large-scale downsizing, but a major strategic structural adjustment, which was synchronized with disarmament, and the army aviation units, electronic countermeasures units, and other new arms of the armed forces, as well as reserve forces, were established one after another, achieving the proportion of technical arms exceeding that of infantry for the first time. The People's Army has taken a crucial step in the transition from motorization to mechanization.

And this military reform, that is, the tenth streamlining and reorganization, Li Xiu also knows the general direction.

Disarmament is not mainstream.

The mainstream is to adjust the structure and specialization.

With the extensive application of modern science and technology in the military field, the mainstream of the future will be the construction of information-based troops.

Building this is a long-term task, and the long-term task needs to be slow and excessive.

So, this time there will be disarmament, but on a much slower scale than in previous times.

At most, it is only one-fifth of the original size of disarmament.

Of course, at this time, Li Xiu naturally did not force him blindly, but quietly listened to the leader's speech.

After the commander of the T division finished speaking, the commanders of several other divisions began to speak.

The content of the meeting was heavy.

But Li Xiu really didn't understand it.

Not only him, but several company commanders also turned into unsmiling applause machines.

It was only after the group army summed up that it finally entered the operational reflection.

Geng Jun was the first to play, but he was not too nervous.

The main analysis is all tactical moves.

After the big leaders finished speaking, the rest of the content that needed to be refined was naturally supplemented by them.

After Geng's army ended, each of the other company commanders also spoke in turn.

This is not a review, but a real content, and there is no template.

The chiefs are all here, and they definitely don't play false. Otherwise, it's a waste of everyone's time.

Of course, for example, the commander of the second company of the tank company was directly beheaded, which was more embarrassing, and he didn't hold back a valuable fart for a long time.

Moreover, it is necessary to briefly describe what he has done and what kind of identity he has assumed in this war.

Fortunately, there was no time limit, and after the commander of the second company of the tank company pulled for a while, he barely mixed up.

For the special forces major who was sniped by Li Xiu, it was even more embarrassing.

As a victim of the 'saturation matrix sniper', the major did not know how to speak.

The battle loss of six to one is still six on his side.

If it weren't for the fact that I still had some achievements in other aspects, I might lose my work after I finished it.

At this moment, the correspondent walked up to the chief of staff of the army group, said a few words carefully, and at the same time, handed the chief of staff of the army group a document.

The chief of staff of the group army changed slightly, took out the documents and looked at them, and nodded slowly.

At this time, the major was still struggling with which of the two manuscripts he had written yesterday to lose a few people. A voice interrupted his train of thought.

"Okay, you don't have to talk about it for a while." The chief of staff of the army group suddenly spoke.

The special forces major was surprised and looked up at the chief of staff of the group army.

Suddenly, I felt a lot of pressure.

The leader's words are listened to in reverse.

As soon as the chief of staff of the group army said this, the special forces major panicked.

"Don't worry."

The chief of staff of the group army didn't explain, looked at Li Xiu, and said slowly: "A soldier of the Seventh Iron and Steel Regiment let me see something different in this military exercise. ”

"A new sniper function. Although it is immature, it has already departed from the existing system of squad and platoon tactical individual soldier functions, and is at the forefront of boldly exploring the road. ”

"As a professional army, the most important thing for us is to have the courage to step out of our comfort zone, and there is one thing, whether everyone admits it or not, the future war situation has changed dramatically."

"If the war in the past was a confrontation between physical strength and machinery, the future war situation will be a contest between technology and function."

"It's important to make changes, and it's even more important to have new ideas that are moving forward."

The commander of the T division quickly smacked the taste.

looked at Li Xiu and sighed that Li Xiu was lucky. This time, we have seized a storm in the military reform.

The chief of staff meant that he was going to raise a flag.

"The courage and positivity to step out of your comfort zone is something that everyone lacks. I understand why. However, it is a challenge that we have to face to cope with the change of the original form. ”

"I hope that our cadres can not be afraid of resistance, be brave, daring, and even willing to break their wrists to deal with new changes."

"In previous reforms, we have changed our equipment, streamlined our establishment, sent away some glorious old troops, left people behind, and crossed the river by feeling the stones."

"Countless evidences and cases show that a new era has arrived, and we, as the cornerstone of China, must undertake the great task of army building."

"Wang Guoqiang, the leader of the Seventh Steel Regiment!" The chief of staff of the army group was named.

"Here."

The head of the regiment sighed, although he had expected it, he was still in a trance.

"The pilot reform is placed in the Seventh Iron and Steel Regiment, do you have any difficulties that we need to solve?"

"Report!"

The regiment commander had a loud voice, only a little less than the chief of staff of the army group.

"Speak!"

"I need time."

"One year of pilot, two years of implementation, you have time."

"Yes." The head of the regiment took a deep breath.

The specific policy has not yet come down. However, the specific location has already been determined.

"Private Li Xiu."

"Here!"

The chief of staff of the group army had a quiet voice echoing.

"The commander of the field army group ordered. In recognition of Comrade Li Xiu's efforts to deal with the new forms of warfare, he proposed new tactics and new tactics, and played a vanguard and exemplary role in military exercises......

The company commanders who were about to applaud were stunned.

What? Pioneer model?

are all veterans, so they naturally know that the words "vanguard model" are generally not used to describe second-class merit.

This is going to give first-class merit??

The atmosphere suddenly exploded and became hot.

The eyes of countless officers also widened.
