When Beijing was in chaos, Wang Yuanqing was inspecting the work of the General Staff Headquarters...... Starting

At the end of 2023, the military reform spearheaded by Ji Youguo and fully promoted by Zhao Rundong was successfully completed, and the national defense forces of the Republic of China were cut down and the army took on a new look.

The core content of military reform is not the upgrading of weapons and equipment, but the establishment and command structure of the armed forces.

In any army, weaponry is the "appearance," the military establishment is the "interior," and the command system is the "soul." The degree of difficulty of the three is from low to high. In the process of implementing military reform, the Republic has adopted a "three-pronged approach, with a distinction between the important and the severe." When weapons and equipment are being replaced one after another and a joint command system is being established, emphasis is placed on adjusting the strength of the armed forces. With the procurement of weapons and equipment in accordance with the new establishment and the improvement of the command system, and the preparation of new weapons and the role of the new command system, the military establishment is gradually moving towards perfection and perfection.

Among them, the establishment of the army is not only the connecting point, but also the intersection point of the upper and lower ends.

The wars in Laos and Vietnam proved the combat effectiveness of the rapid reaction forces and the potential of the joint command system.

Beginning at the end of 2019, military reform shifted its focus to both the upper and lower ends. Affected by large-scale regional wars, the Republic has accelerated the pace of upgrading its weapons and equipment, and the national defense budget and equipment procurement expenses have hit new highs for several consecutive years.

The joint command system, which has withstood the test of war, has been extended from the General Staff Headquarters, the pattern of the army, navy, and air force being "independently formed into an army" has been broken, and front-line joint command centers have been established in several strategic directions.

Before inspecting the work, Wang Yuanqing knew that military reform had encountered many troubles.

Although Peng Maobang retired in 2022 and Xiang Linghui served as the chief of the general staff, in the following year or so, Peng Maobang traveled all over the major military regions and arms headquarters of the Republic and personally did "ideological work" for the commanders of military regions and arms. There is no way to do this. Zhao Rundong's health is not very good, Xiang Linghui's prestige is not high enough, except for Ji Youguo, who has retreated, only Peng Maobang has the ability to continue to promote military reform. In Peng Maobang's view, military reform is the first step in the reform of the republic's system, and it is a long-cherished wish that Ji Youguo failed to fulfill when he left office. Even if he has retired, with Peng Maobang's prestige in the army, no commander of a military region or a commander of a branch of the armed forces dares not to listen to his "call." By releasing the work of the General Staff Headquarters, Peng Maobang will have more time to "inspect" everywhere and more energy to promote military reform.

Military reform can be completed by the end of 2023. Peng Maobang has made great contributions.

Wang Yuanqing is not from a military background. Not good at fighting.

During the inspection work. Wang Yuanqing asked some staff officers about their living and working conditions. He put forward "constructive" opinions and suggestions on improving working conditions, improving the livelihood of officers and men, and resolving the worries of officers and men. In terms of the command system, equipment, etc. Wang Yuanqing only inquired about the situation. No comments were made.

It's like inspecting the MIA. Wang Yuanqing went to the soldiers' canteen for lunch.

This is where the difference between a military and an intelligence officer is revealed. Xiang Linghui did not arrange a luncheon for Wang Yuanqing. Just let the officer's cafeteria prepare a few more stir-fried dishes. As a result, Wang Yuanqing went to the soldiers' canteen.

After lunch. The "business" just begins.

"Let's start with a new gear." Xiang Linghui, who is both chief of the general staff and commander-in-chief of the army, introduced the situation of the army, "According to the equipment replacement plan formulated in 20199, by September this year, there have been four armored tank corps, six mechanized infantry corps, six infantry corps and three airborne corps, a total of 14 armored brigades, 16 armored assault brigades, 18 mechanized infantry brigades, five air assault brigades and four airborne brigades of 19 armies, and about 65 percent of the army's combat units have completed the equipment upgrading work. According to the plan drawn up at the beginning of this year, by the end of next year, all combat units of the army will complete the work of upgrading their equipment. ”

"How's the training going?" It's not that Wang Yuanqing doesn't understand military affairs, but he just doesn't want to get an axe.

"The training was carried out ahead of schedule, and we have set up training and actual combat training bases in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Heilongjiang, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Fujian, and Hainan. After the change of equipment, the units will undergo a three-month intensive combat training. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "What is the core work of the army's redressing?" ”

Xiang Linghui was late, probably not understanding what Wang Yuanqing meant.

"As far as I know, the key issue for the army's rearmament is logistical support, especially the logistical support and maintenance capability of a large number of new weapons and equipment." Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Chief of Staff, can you elaborate on it?" ”

Xiang Linghui reacted immediately, and immediately asked the secretarial staff to call up a piece of information.

Walking to the big screen, Xiang Linghui glanced at the pictures displayed on the screen and said: "This is our project in 20177, and it was not until the beginning of last year that we successfully developed a 'vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station'. The weight of the whole set of equipment is 1005 tons, and it is divided into three parts: the 'power supply system', the 'conversion and transformer system', and the 'electric energy distribution system'. The system can serve an armored battalion, or an artillery battalion, or two inquadrats in half an hour

All electric equipment provides full power or provides continuous power to a brigade-sized assault unit. ”

"How's it safe?" Wang Yuanqing is very interested in the "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station".

"There is no radiation contamination in the fusion reaction, and the system adopts a four-degree redundancy control system, and an emergency shutdown system and a self-destruction system are set up." Xiang Linghui hesitated a little and said, "Last year, we used the No. 3 prototype to do a combat test, and the core armor of the protection system is strong enough to resist large-caliber machine gun bullets and artillery shrapnel. If the armor is penetrated, the system will stop operating in ten milliseconds, and the self-destruct explosion will have a kill range of less than fifty meters. A wired remote control system has been developed that allows the operator to complete all the work from a distance of 50 meters. ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly, and motioned for Xiang Linghui to continue his introduction.

The "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" is the basic condition for the upgrading of the army's equipment and the prerequisite for the army's comprehensive equipment with electric weapons. In order to develop this system, the army invested a total of 100 million yuan (about 12c yuan at the average exchange rate) between 20117 and 2023. After the successful development, the army first put forward a three-step popularization plan, that is, first equipping army-level combat units, then popularizing it in brigade-level units, and finally popularizing it in battalion-level combat units. At the beginning of 2023, the Army adjusted its promotion plan, proposing to directly equip brigade-level combat units, and not popularize it in battalion-level combat units. There are two reasons for this: First, the purchase unit price of the system is as high as 24 percent, and the price of mass production will not be lower than 18 percent; second, the power supply capacity of the system exceeds the electricity demand of battalion-level combat units, and popularizing it to battalion-level combat units will greatly waste resources.

Of course, this is not the ultimate goal of the Army.

The "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" only solves the problem of power supply, but does not solve the transmission problem.

The Army is developing "microwave directional power transmission technology," and if a breakthrough is made, it will be possible to get rid of the restriction of power transmission by wires, and combat units will be able to carry out combat missions in a wider range. The Army is also developing an "unmanned aircraft power relay system" and cooperating with a State Key Laboratory of Tsinghua University to develop a "satellite power relay system." If these two systems can be developed, the Army will truly enter the "electric era."

After Xiang Linghui gave a briefing on the situation of the army, Ying Changhui began to introduce the situation of the navy.

In order to "make way" for the Army, after completing the construction of three large aircraft carriers, the Navy slowed down the design and construction of the third-class aircraft carriers and focused on enhancing the combat effectiveness of escort warships and auxiliary ships. In addition to 3 ~ large aircraft carriers with a standard displacement of more than 75000 ~: , 8 air defense cruisers capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, 12 multipurpose destroyers capable of intercepting ballistic missiles, 12 ~ anti-submarine frigates (all-electric) were built after 20177, and aircraft carrier battle groups including the "Republic" were formed.

What interested Wang Yuanqing was the submarine of the navy, because Wang Yuanqing still remembered the performance of submarines in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War and the East China Sea War.

After completing the construction of the 6~-class attack nuclear submarine (equipped with a controllable fusion reactor), the Navy abandoned the "all-nuclear submarine" and focused on the construction of "nuclear power submarines".

The so-called "nuclear power submarine" is to equip the submarine with a small fusion reactor similar to a "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" and hundreds of tons of composite batteries.

Because the power of the small fusion reactor is too small to enable the submarine to reach its maximum diving speed, it is only used to power the composite battery and not to drive the superconducting electric motor. To put it simply, the "nuclear submarine" is to add a small fusion reactor to an "all-electric submarine" such as the "Swordfish", making it a "super AIP submarine".

By the time Wang Yuanqing came to inspect the work, the Navy had already built a total of 24 "nuclear submarines" of 3 classes, and another 8 were under construction.

Ying Changhui did not focus on the situation of HNA, anyway, when introducing the situation of the Air Force, HNA will be mentioned.

Because Yan Yuqing did not come, Pei Chengyi introduced the situation of the Air Force.

Comparatively speaking, the renewal of equipment in the Air Force is less noticeable. The J-14 replaced the J11 series (including the J-113) heavy fighters and became the main air superiority fighter, the J-15 replaced the J-0 series light fighters and became the main multi-role fighter, and the H-9 replaced the H-66 series bombers and became the main strategic strike force.

The biggest change in the Air Force came in the auxiliary forces.

KJ22 replaced KJ2000, and KZ19 compensated for the lack of AWACS. In terms of transport aircraft, the Y-14 tactical transport aircraft is in service in large quantities, and the Y-15 large transport aircraft will also be put into production in 2022, except for a small number of "Il-76", the Air Force has basically eliminated Russian-made transport aircraft.

Because Pei Chengyi doesn't know much about the Air Force, the introduction is not very detailed.

Wang Yuanqing didn't stay for dinner, there were more important things waiting for him to deal with in the evening.

Damn it**

During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
