The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

After the adjustment, the 11 major military regions in the country were merged into 7 major military regions.

That is, the 7 major military regions of Beijing, Shenyang, Jicheng, Jinling, Yangcheng, Chengdu, and Lanzhou.

The guiding ideology of the entire "Military Reform System Streamlining and Reorganization Plan" is clear, and the main method adopted is the policy of "withdrawal, merger, reduction, transfer, reform, and management".

"Withdrawal" means the withdrawal of troops in an organized manner, including the withdrawal of troops and divisions.

"Merge" means the merger of institutions, such as the merger of major military regions and the merger of colleges and universities.

"Reduction" means lowering the institutional level of some units and compressing their scale, such as the compression of corps-level and army-level institutions to army-level and division-level.

"Transfer" means handing over some government-related organs and troops, such as county and city people's armed forces and internal security forces, to relevant departments of the state and local governments.

"Reform" means implementing enterprise management for some support units, and changing some cadre positions to non-commissioned officers and soldiers.

"Management" means adjusting and straightening out the relationships in all aspects.

This reform has taken a relatively large step.

That is why the entire streamlining plan will take a year and a half.

Zhao Guoping nodded solemnly.

The resettlement of 150,000 retired soldiers is his top priority for the next year and a half. It is related to the overall situation. No matter how much pressure there is, he must do it and do it well.

To put it in a smaller way, 150,000 retired soldiers are related to the stability of 150,000 families.

To put it in a larger way, it is related to the success or failure of this streamlining of one million troops.

If we only calculate the economic account, naturally, the entire Panshan Group is now bloated because of the resettlement of too many veterans, and the profit margin has been reduced. Naturally, no foreign company will do such a big loss. Even if they know that Panshan Group does this, they will laugh at Panshan Group as a big fool.

But this matter cannot only be calculated in economic accounts, but also in political accounts!

Panshan Group is not a pure enterprise and must obey the overall national situation.

Although they are a pilot unit for reform, they must also be responsible at critical times and obey the overall national situation.

Then Li Fuguo reported on the situation of the participating troops in the past few months.

Since the Tiger Battalion ended its rotation, three heavy synthetic battalions have completed their rotation, and the entire heavy synthetic brigade, the Tiger Brigade, has completed the rotation of battalion units.

In the past few months, the ground forces have annihilated an entire enemy regiment and severely damaged two enemy regiments, killing 2,135 enemies, injuring 4,216, capturing 1,265, destroying 98 enemy tanks and 145 armored vehicles, and occupying four high ground and a county town.

The air defense forces destroyed 38 enemy aircraft, continued to suppress the enemy air force from taking off, and maintained the battlefield no-fly zone.

Most of the 38 enemy aircraft destroyed here were 100 to 200 kilometers away.

In the direction of Laos and Cambodia, the special forces cooperated with friendly forces to cause tens of thousands of casualties to the enemy and control several strategic locations.

"A total of 148 soldiers of the Tiger Brigade died, 389 soldiers were injured, and 79 of them were seriously injured." Li Fuguo reported here, and his voice seemed a bit heavy.

The total number of casualties was 537, and the casualty rate was over 10%!

Liu Tao couldn't help but feel heavy when he heard about the casualties.

But this is the battlefield, and it's like this on the battlefield. No matter how great the firepower advantage is, no matter how good the equipment is, there will be casualties, and casualties are inevitable.

"Have the fallen soldiers been resettled? Have the families of the martyrs been notified and arranged?" Liu Tao said in a deep voice.

"The soldiers are buried in the Martyrs' Cemetery, and the families of the martyrs have been notified and taken away the remains of the martyrs. All the resettlement work has been arranged." Li Fuguo said.

Liu Tao said: "You must remember that you must not let the soldiers bleed and cry. Your armed forces and discipline inspection team must strengthen supervision in this regard. If I know that anyone is slack or reaches out, no matter how high the level is, they will be punished to the end."

After Liu Tao finished speaking, he also glanced at Chen Chuan.

Now the entire Panshan system has a staff of 1,000 discipline inspection teams, who are shouldering heavy responsibilities.

"Please rest assured, General Manager. Our Discipline Inspection Group will definitely strengthen this aspect of work." Chen Chuan stood up and expressed his opinion.

Liu Tao nodded, "Now each battalion and company of the Tiger Brigade has honors. This is a glorious unit with honors. The soldiers who will be added later should be proud of the unit."

In this rotation, the other battalions and companies of the Tiger Brigade that did not have honors have won honors this time. It can be said that in terms of honor, the Tiger Brigade is not inferior to any veteran unit.

Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping both nodded in response.

"Currently, the rotation of the medium-sized synthetic brigade is from the front line. It is planned to complete the rotation of the medium-sized synthetic brigade around the Spring Festival." Li Fuguo introduced: "There are a total of six air defense battalions deployed on the border, and they will always be in combat."

Liu Tao nodded. Naturally, there are not so many air defense battalions in the three synthetic brigades. This is the "Aegis" air defense missile battalion formed by the armed forces.

Six air defense battalions are enough to make the entire battlefield a no-fly zone. It is impossible to attack from the air in other directions.

In front of the deployed large radar, aircraft hundreds of kilometers south of the border will be clearly detected.

At least for now, no aircraft in the south can escape the detection of large radars.

"According to the time plan, all rotations of the three combined brigades will be completed before 1986." Li Fuguo introduced the plan of the armed forces.

In 1987, the three combined brigades had no time to fight on the front line. Everyone had to compete for that honor.

This competition included internal competition among the three combined brigades and external competition with other troops.

No troop did not want to win this honor.

The top priority in 1987 was undoubtedly Hong Kong!

For the three combined brigades, the top priority was training and competition, standing out from the competition and winning that honor.

Compared with the navy, it was already certain.

In the army, the competition was fierce.

Every heroic unit with a glorious tradition was competing for this honor, and the value of this honor was huge.

People often only remember the first one, not the second or third one.

In order to win this honor, the three combined brigades learned Cantonese in addition to training. They did not require proficiency, but at least they could communicate, so they were more fully prepared.

The Armed Forces Department has always been a powerful department of Panshan Group, with a large number of people and a wide range of business, and its work has always been one of the key points.

This is also reflected in Liu Tao's emphasis on the Armed Forces Department. Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, the two military and political leaders of the Armed Forces Department, are both members of the Party Group, which is unique in any department.

The Armed Forces Department is always one of the important topics in every Party Group meeting.

The Discipline Inspection Group has great power, but its presence in the Armed Forces Department is the weakest. Any investigation and handling must go through the Party Group of the Armed Forces Department, or directly to Liu Tao.
