Chapter 488 The current combined brigade is just the basic version
Others couldn't help but frown.
Because Liu Tao's words were not wrong.
As the person in charge, Liu Tao's rank should naturally be the highest in the entire group. He is also the real person in charge of Panshan Group, and he is a combination of party and government.
Others are definitely not as good as Liu Tao.
When the system was just reformed, Liu Tao's rank was raised. Although others were also at the department level, Zhao Guoping and others were at the 10th level. Later, they made great achievements every year, and the members of the Panshan Group Party Committee were promoted one level every year, and they reached their current level.
As for the transition from level 8 to level 7, it is a natural chasm that is not so easy to cross.
Especially Liu Tao's administrative level is level 7, which is the ceiling of Panshan Group. No other cadres can exceed this level.
And according to the current scale of Panshan Group, it is naturally qualified to move up.
But the problem is that Liu Tao, as the person in charge, is too young!
The higher you go, the narrower the road!
Ability is not the only consideration. In addition to ability, age, qualifications, etc. are all top priorities!
What Liu Tao lacked was age and experience!
One of the most important reasons why Liu Tao was able to take that step before was that the emphasis was on the rejuvenation of cadres at that time!
The old man looked thoughtful and said nothing.
He finally understood that Liu Tao, who always said what he wanted to say, would hesitate.
Because this was indeed shocking.
But Liu Tao was not seeking profit for himself, nor was he selfish.
What Liu Tao said before was not wrong. If Li Fuguo was in other troops, he would have been a deputy district commander by now.
"I'll think about it!" The old man pondered for a long time and said slowly, without saying yes or no.
Liu Tao was secretly happy that he did not directly reject it, which meant that there was a possibility for this matter.
Otherwise, the leader would have directly rejected it.
They went to the cafeteria to have breakfast together, and then, under the leadership of Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping, everyone visited the Malong Military Training Base.
The Malong Military Training Base, which took several years and invested huge sums of money to build, can be said to be the most complete, largest and most advanced military training base in China.
The terrain of this thousands of square kilometers is quite complex, and military training of various subjects can be carried out.
"Through the construction over the years, the Malong Military Training Base has been built into a base with computers as the platform, integrating monitoring, battlefield simulation, auxiliary evaluation, comprehensive support, base management, weapons and equipment testing and other systems." Liu Tao introduced, pointing to the large screen in the command center, where technicians were being mobilized, and any place could be seen at any time.
"This place can accommodate three divisions for confrontation exercises!" A leader was a little amazed.
They all came to the Malong Military Training Base for the first time.
In this command center, you can see the entire Malong Military Training Base, and even mobilize satellites here to change orbits, so that communication satellites, Beidou navigation satellites, and reconnaissance satellites are directly aimed at here and the surrounding areas.
Each technical soldier is a highly educated talent.
The leaders can no longer understand what is displayed on the interface of the Jinlong computers.
"We can no longer understand this modern war, and the future belongs to the young people." An old man looked a little lonely.
With more sophisticated weapons and equipment, and the continuous improvement of the educational level of the troops, they have been constantly deviating from the original traditional war.
When they were in Beijing, they also reviewed the battlefield, and then they all felt incredible.
Because they had never thought that the war could be fought like this.
Just like now, they used to have to take a relatively rough topographic map to analyze and arrange the battle plan.
But in this command center, there is an electronic map formed by satellites, aircraft and reconnaissance personnel. The contour lines are very obvious, and can even be switched to three-dimensional.
Satellites cooperate with aircraft to even clearly understand the mobilization of troops, warehouses, artillery positions, etc., and directly carry out targeted precise artillery and bombing!
As for taking the wrong road, it is impossible with Beidou navigation equipment.
And the communication system of the synthetic brigade is obviously more than one level higher than other troops.
A leader frowned and said, "You synthetic brigades all have air defense missile battalions. Isn't this too wasteful?"
The country has always been a big artillery thought, and the old generals naturally hope that all weapons and equipment are equipped to the army.
In modern warfare, air supremacy is particularly important.
Without air supremacy, no matter how powerful the army is, it can only become a target for the enemy's air force bombing.
Before, the Chinese Air Force just didn't have advanced fighters that could fully guarantee air supremacy. Now even if advanced fighters are imported from the United States, these American-made air force equipment have not yet been able to fully form combat effectiveness, and there is no way to fully exert the combat effectiveness of advanced fighters.
In this case, the country attaches great importance to the construction of "Aegis" air defense missiles.
The cost of the troops purchasing "Aegis" air defense missiles is second only to the cost of tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, etc.
It's really that China's territory is too large, and there are too many places that need advanced air defense missiles to defend.
Even now, the Chinese troops feel that the air defense missile battalions they are equipped with are still far from enough.
"Anti-aircraft missiles are essential equipment for the combined brigade, and they cannot be wasted at all!" Liu Tao said with a faint smile, "In my opinion, when China's economy develops in the future, we can build 29 combined brigades, 30 medium combined brigades, and 25 light combined brigades. In this way, it will be enough to deal with possible wars in the future."
"And don't think that the three combined brigades seem to be almost the same now. In fact, this is just the foundation, and there is still a lot of room for improvement." Liu Tao said.
A leader exclaimed: "What? It's just the foundation now? Your Panshan Group has invested so much money, and each brigade is equipped with so many advanced weapons and equipment, but it's still just the foundation?"
"How much investment do you have to make to achieve what you expect!?"
All the leaders thought Liu Tao was crazy.
Now a heavy composite brigade is equipped with 120 Type 80 main battle tanks, 8 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 104 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, and 24 120mm self-propelled mortars; the artillery battalion is equipped with 9 122mm rocket launchers, 27 122mm self-propelled howitzers, and 9 anti-tank missile launchers; an air defense battalion is equipped with 4 sets of field air defense missile systems, 20 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and a combined missile and artillery system.
The money required for these weapons and equipment alone is absolutely jaw-dropping.
Not to mention the huge amount of funds consumed every year.
The annual expenditure of a heavy composite brigade is almost equivalent to that of three fully staffed Type A divisions!
Some leaders expressed dissatisfaction and said that they would rather support three fully staffed Type A divisions than a heavy composite brigade.
The idea of the mainland army is deeply rooted.
In their view, in terms of army construction, they should learn from the Soviet Union, establish a strong mechanized force, and drown all enemies who dare to provoke with a torrent of steel.
