Judging from the performance of the previous month, Wang Yuanqing was the most important head of state of the Republic in the .1st century. [No pop-up novel network]

After handing over most of the administrative work to the premier of the State Council and the ministers of various departments, Wang Yuanqing spent most of his energy on national defense and military modernization. Not to mention anything else, in just over a month and less than 1 day, Wang Yuanqing has. He inspected the situation in various military regions and units at all levels, and spent more than an hour participating in the work and meetings of the General Staff. Based on the calculation of working 1.0 hours a day, Wang Yuanqing spends half of his time on the military and defense institutions.

Wang Yuanqing attaches great importance to the purpose of national defense construction, and Xiang Linghui knows better than anyone else.

Peng Maobang talked with Xiang Linghui for one night before leaving Beijing, and Zhao Rundong also talked with Xiang Linghui for one afternoon before leaving office. The two "veteran marshals" particularly exhorted Xiang Linghui to do his utmost to assist the new head of state and lead the republic through the most difficult period and overcome the most severe challenges together with Wang Yuanqing.

After receiving Li Cunxun's phone call, Xiang Linghui waited outside the General Staff Department for more than half an hour.

"Sure?" Although the question is very simple, it is enough to express Xiang Linghui's meaning.

Wang Yuanqing nodded and quickened his pace. "The Military Intelligence Bureau has received the news, and the wind is tight, otherwise I would not have asked the General Staff to make a progress report in the middle of the night."

"It's ready, let's go to the convention center."

"Make a brief introduction to the military strength first, try to get to the point, and be brief."

Xiang Linghui nodded, asked the secretary who followed him to greet the others, and then rushed to the front of Wang Yuanqing.

When you're ready, the meeting begins.

In order to express the importance of the meeting, Wang Yuanqing first introduced the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, made a brief analysis of the future situation, and then asked Xiang Linghui to give a briefing on the development of the army.

"For more than two years, the construction of the army has mainly revolved around mobility."

After his brief opening remarks, Xiang Linghui took the Korean Peninsula War as a starting point and focused on the construction of the main units of the army.

Undoubtedly, the Peninsular War was the most beautiful and tragic war fought by the Republican Army in the .1st century. Although the Army's performance in the war was very good, showing the world the demeanor and strength of the "number one Army," the problems exposed by the Republic Army in the Peninsula War not only cannot be ignored, but also deserve everyone's attention. Even the US Pentagon is . The "Office for the Evaluation of Foreign-Related Tactics" was set up to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the combat operations of the Republic Army in the Peninsula War and to find out the shortcomings and shortcomings of the Republic Army. ：

In general, the main problem of the Republican Army is a serious imbalance in the development of the various branches of the army.

As the main combat force, armored troops and artillery are definitely the pride of the army, and they are also the most powerful fighting machines. Dudgway in. published a book dedicated to the combat experience of the U.S. military during the Peninsula War (the book sold 10,000 copies that year and became the best-selling book in North America that year, and the publisher paid a total of 1 yuan to Dudgway), clearly mentioning that if the U.S. military had armor and artillery comparable to the enemy, the outcome of the Peninsula War was likely to be rewritten, at least not in . The end of the month. In the book, Du Qiwei admits in a very reluctant tone that under all equal circumstances, no country's ground forces can defeat the Chinese army at any time, in any place, and in any way.

The evaluation of the enemy is often the most telling thing.

In the Peninsula War, armored troops and artillery were the pillar forces to defeat the enemy, but they were not the key forces.

In the post-war summing up, the General Staff had to admit that the key strength of the army was not armored and artillery, but the previously neglected arms, namely the rapid reaction forces, army aviation, and airborne troops. To prove this, Xiang sent Pei Chengyi to Shanghai to use the National Computing Center's supercomputer to simulate a peninsular war dominated by armored and artillery in the absence of rapid reaction forces, army aviation, and airborne troops. The results of the simulation show that if the Korean Peninsula War is fought in the traditional way, it will take at least half a year to win the final victory.

According to the situation during the war on the peninsula, not to mention the first half of the year, even if it is fought for the last month, the situation will take a major turn.

In fact, it was this unit that exposed the most prominent problems during the war on the peninsula.

The Rapid Reaction Force has unrivaled strategic mobility and assault capabilities, but it is difficult to move off the road.

In the third and fourth battles, the army was unable to maneuver on the highway on several occasions, resulting in insurmountable difficulties in combat operations. Nominally, the rapid reaction force belongs to the "armored troops", but in fact, the rapid reaction forces can be regarded as "quasi-armored troops" at best, and their armored strength is very limited. : In rapid assault operations, the rapid reaction force can rely on strong mobility to overcome the problems caused by weak armor; In positional offensive warfare, they often have to hold back because of the lack of armor strength. The rapid reaction force lacks sufficient firepower and cannot guarantee the continuity of the offensive, so it needs the support and cooperation of other units. In general, limited by these problems, the ability of the rapid reaction forces to fight independently is very poor, and in large-scale combat operations it is necessary to act jointly with other forces.

The problems of the army aviation are mainly reflected in the following aspects: First, the combat radius is relatively short, and sufficient logistics support is required during large-scale movements; Second, firepower lacks suppressiveness and destruction, and cannot replace aviation and artillery; Third, the reaction speed is too slow, and the front-line troops often shoot artillery

The air force requested fire support, and not first consider army aviation. As a result, the combat missions that the army aviation can undertake are very limited, and it is difficult for it to become the army's real main fire support force, still less can it replace the aviation and artillery and become the main companion of the ground forces. These deficiencies are all related to technology, and it is difficult to substantially improve the combat capability of the army aviation until a breakthrough is made in the relevant technology.

The problem of the Airborne Forces is the most serious, and it can be summed up in one sentence: high does not succeed, low does not succeed.

It is said that the Airborne Forces are pure infantry, but they have airborne combat vehicles with firepower and mobility that are no worse than infantry fighting vehicles; It is said that the Airborne Forces are armored troops, but there is no armored force sufficient to compete with tanks. It is said that the Airborne Forces are troops that are good at defense, and the casualties in positional warfare account for the total casualties of the Republic Army; It is said that the Airborne Forces are good at attacking, and even the infantry in the face of the enemy may not be able to defeat them.

The special nature of the Airborne Forces determines the embarrassing position of the Airborne Forces.

Looking at the armies of the countries of the world, it is not difficult to find that no country has an airborne army, except for the republics. The United States has only retained airborne divisions (slightly smaller than Airborne 1), Russia has only retained airborne brigades, and Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries have long since withdrawn their airborne troops.

In the final analysis, the issue of the Airborne Forces remains related to technology.

No country's army denies the importance of the Airborne Forces, and even less does anyone deny the irreplaceable position of the Airborne Forces in some special battles. Take the Peninsula War as an example, without the 1st Airborne Brigade to capture Goro, the Republic Army may have been annihilated. An American Marine Division? Du Qiwei admitted that the main reason for the rapid collapse of the US Marine Corps was that the five elders were lost and had not been able to open a retreat route.

In modern warfare, which is dominated by long-range strike forces, the importance of the Airborne Forces in warfare is becoming increasingly prominent.

Shortly after the end of the Peninsular War, the United States announced the reorganization of the Airborne Division on the basis of the First Division.

At the time of deepening reform, the army put the strengthening of the combat capability of the airborne forces in the first place. In fact, there is only one way to increase the combat capability of the Airborne Forces: to provide the Airborne Forces with powerful armor.

It's not just about improving airborne combat vehicles, it's about giving the Airborne Forces enough weapons to fight the main battle tanks.

As long as this is done, the Airborne Forces will become winged armored troops. An armored force capable of overcoming all kinds of terrain obstacles and attacking an enemy thousands of kilometers away in a matter of hours is probably the kind of combat force that any army can only dream of.

Because of the special purpose, the army had to attach great importance to the Airborne Forces.

If nothing else, apart from the marines, only the Airborne Forces are capable of launching an offensive against the enemy on the other side of the sea. The Marine Corps has become an independent branch of the army, and the army does not want to rely on the support of others, so it can only strengthen the building of the airborne troops.

Army aviation and the Rapid Reaction Forces are ranked in importance behind the Airborne Forces.

In order to improve combat capability, it is necessary to solve technical problems.

From. At the beginning of the year, the Army will devote .1 of its annual military budget to scientific research projects (the normal ratio should be between 1 and 1). In just a short period (including. The army has invested a total of 100 million yuan in dozens of military scientific research projects, such as high-level composite batteries, industrial production technology of high-strength alloy materials, advanced electromagnetic guns, high-power superconducting motors, alternating drive systems, aviation operation and control systems, and new ammunition.

A huge investment, bringing gratifying returns.

From. Since the end of the year, various military scientific research projects have borne fruit one after another, and more and more advanced technologies and production processes have become the source of power for the Republic Army to forge a world-class offensive force.

From these techniques, it can be seen that the purpose of the Army's reform is very clear.

Almost all of the reforms are closely related to improving the Army's long-range attack capabilities, especially cross-sea attack capabilities. Needless to say, military reform with such a clear purpose must be extremely targeted, and it is directly related to the main threats to the republic in the near future.

After briefing on the development of the army, Xiang Linghui made a concluding speech.

"Generally speaking, the army is advancing and deepening reform according to the plan, except for the 1st Airborne Brigade, the 1st Airborne Assault Brigade, and the 1st Rapid Reaction Brigade, which were reequipped at the beginning of this year, other units will complete the refitting work within the year. Because training with training from. The year has already begun, and the rearmament of the units is in a very good situation, so that the first and most important reform task will be completed by the end of this year. ”

Because Pei Chengyi prepared relevant information, Xiang Linghui did not go into too much detail.

While listening to Xiang Linghui's report on the situation of the army, Wang Yuanqing had been browsing the "Report on the Army's Three-Year Development Plan" formulated by Pei Chengyi. This is not a summary report, but a periodic report, which will be updated every one month, so that the leaders can grasp the situation of the army in a timely and accurate manner.

After Xiang Linghui finished speaking, Wang Yuanqing closed the document in his hand. "Who's it now?"

Xiang Linghui coughed dryly twice and glanced at Lin Xiaolei, who was distracted. Zhang Weichang, who was sitting next to Lin Xiaolei, kicked the commander of the navy and brought Lin Xiaolei back to his senses.

Lin Xiaolei's courage was too great, and he was distracted at the meeting presided over by the head of state! To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in,,,!
