Chapter 633: Splitting the Synthetic Brigade?
"There will be no impact. I have said before that the six combined brigades are only temporarily under the Panshan Group Armed Forces. In the final analysis, they belong to the country. Now they must be separated from the Panshan Group Armed Forces and merged into the military system. This is what it should be. ”
Liu Tao smiled and said without any objection.
He had repeatedly promised this to his leaders when he was fighting for honors and military ranks for the Combined Brigade.
He did indeed think so.
Now the six combined brigades are gradually divested from the Panshan Group's armed forces. In two or three years, the current six combined brigades will be reorganized into 12 combined brigades, each with five to six thousand people, that is, four heavy combined brigades, four Among them are medium-sized synthetic brigades and four light synthetic brigades.
At that time, the Chinese army had almost realized the construction of mechanized troops.
The old man showed a look of relief, "It's best if you think so. The army should do what the army should do, and everyone should perform their duties."
With years of research and the performance of combined brigades on the battlefield, there has been considerable research in this area.
After the army is mechanized, the next step is to build a synthetic army.
The Military Commission is already planning to reform and reorganize the army when the time is right, abolishing the division level and directly abolishing the regiment and division levels.
The old man discussed the matter of the synthetic troops with Liu Tao, and Liu Tao also told everything he knew and did not hide anything.
The combined brigade emphasizes a high degree of synthesis, combining infantry, armored infantry, armored troops, artillery, air defense troops, special forces, engineering troops and other arms.
The organizational principle of the combined brigade is "skilled troops, combined and efficient", with the primary goal of winning future wars. The outstanding characteristics of the combined brigade are multiple firepower platforms, strong firepower, high degree of informationization, and flat command.
Compared with the traditional division headquarters, the combined brigade headquarters is much smaller. In the past, the division was under the jurisdiction of the regiment, and the regiment was under the jurisdiction of the battalion. Now, the combined brigade is directly under the jurisdiction of the battalion. Compared with traditional battalions, the synthetic battalion under the jurisdiction of the synthetic brigade is a deputy regiment-level organization. The battalion commander and instructor are both deputy regiment-level lieutenant colonels. There is also a battalion-level chief of staff and several company-level staff officers.
The synthetic battalion is the core of the synthetic brigade! It is also the smallest combat unit of the combined brigade!
The synthetic brigade focuses on synthesis, synthesis focuses on firepower output, and firepower output relies on mechanization.
Type 80 main battle tank, Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun, Type 81 medium tank, Type 81 light tank, Type 81 amphibious tank, Type 81 infantry fighting vehicle. The level of mechanized construction is naturally at the forefront of strength.
How to maximize the advantages of mechanization involves informatization. The so-called informatization means that through various informatization equipment, the combined brigade can see all directions and hear all directions, so that it can attack the enemy first.
Multiple mechanized arms such as infantry, armor, reconnaissance, and artillery are concentrated in one brigade. Information technology is an indispensable link to enable coordinated operations among multiple arms.
According to different combat needs, the combined brigade is divided into heavy combined brigade, medium combined brigade and light combined brigade. The heavy combined brigade needs to undertake the main assault task in actual combat, and has the most fierce firepower.
"Of course, the comprehensive construction of the army ultimately depends on the cultivation of talents and sufficient military expenditures." Liu Tao said.
He built a complete set of equipment for the synthetic brigade, and even created six synthetic brigades as templates.
But if China wants to carry out synthetic construction, it can only provide equipment, not talents, and the money will naturally depend on military spending.
Not to mention the six combined brigades now, the personnel are neat and well-equipped, which can be regarded as an advantage for the army.
But the rest, such as wages, equipment, etc., naturally cannot be blamed on Panshan Group.
Brothers have to settle accounts openly, not to mention that they are not part of the same system!
The old man understood the meaning of Liu Tao's words and couldn't help but laugh.
Naturally, he knew the expenses of the synthetic brigade.
Just to build a combined brigade, the investment in weapons and equipment alone is not a small amount, not to mention soldier training, soldier subsidies, etc.
To be honest, the old man has different opinions on separating the six synthetic brigades from the Panshan Group's armed forces, because raising these six synthetic brigades will require a lot of money.
But other comrades felt that it was inappropriate for the six combined brigades to remain in the Panshan Group. In the end, he thought about it and it made sense.
Now that we are about to implement it, the first big thing we encountered is that the six combined brigades are paid monthly salaries, allowances, bonuses, etc. according to the Panshan Group's salary system, while the army implements compulsory soldiers, and ordinary soldiers have no salary and only a small amount of allowances. , far from being comparable to the salary system of Panshan Group. Military cadres do receive wages, but these wages are far inferior to Panshan Group's salary system.
Now that the Six Synthetic Brigades are going to divest Panshan Group, the salary issue must be resolved. Now, the two sides are quarreling fiercely about this matter. Some people think that they should be paid as much as they should be like other troops. The combined brigade cannot be special. Some people think that with such a huge disparity, who would want the soldiers of the six combined brigades?
This is only the first big thing. The second big thing is training. The training intensity of the synthetic brigade is very high. It consumes a lot of bullets and artillery shells, and bullets and shells are money. Do you want to stick to the original principle of the synthetic brigade? Some training plans are incredibly draining if you stick to them. If the original training plan is changed, will the combined brigade still have that combat effectiveness?
The third major thing is that the current ranks of the combined brigade are all promoted one level higher and integrated into the army. This is obviously unique and alien, but the rank reduction for no reason cannot be justified.
It is easy to be promoted, but it is not so easy to be demoted.
In addition to these, there are still a lot of problems to be solved.
Liu Tao looked at the time and it was almost time to leave. The old man was very busy and had a lot of things to deal with every day. It was already a great thing that he could take an hour to see him.
After leaving, Liu Tao actually felt a little uncomfortable. He acted very open-minded in front of the leader, but in fact, Liu Tao felt uncomfortable.
The six synthetic brigades were built by Panshan Group with a lot of manpower, material and financial resources, huge energy and hard work.
Moreover, the six synthetic brigades have not yet fully formed combat effectiveness. It will take at least another three to five years to truly fully form combat effectiveness.
However, the military has already seemed anxious and can't wait to incorporate the six synthetic brigades into the military system, including the 'Malong Military Training Base' and the 'Zhu Rihe Military Training Base'.
There is no way. He had said it at the beginning, and now he can't twist his arm and thigh, so he can only agree.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be some rumors.
Liu Tao was also very cautious about these rumors. As the saying goes, three people can make a tiger, and a lot of gossip can melt gold. Throughout history, countless people have fallen into this trap.
Even those who can almost be called saints will fall into this trap, not to mention that Liu Tao is not a saint. He also has many shortcomings, so he has to be more cautious.
