Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 153 Reshaping the Image
When he went to the study, Wang Yuanqing made a cup of strong tea. γReading.comγ
Xiang Linghui's reaction was completely expected by Wang Yuanqing. Before becoming the chief of the General Staff, Xiang Linghui was the strong backing of the "Young Zhuang faction", and young generals such as Pei Chengyi, Ling Yunxiao, and Hua Jianfeng were all promoted by him. After becoming the chief of the General Staff, Xiang Linghui even deliberately suppressed other interest groups in order to cultivate the "Young Zhuang faction".
I have to admit that Xiang Linghui's methods are too "radical".
Although the development and growth of the "Young Zhuang faction" is of decisive significance to the enhancement of the military strength of the republic, and the war on the peninsula fully proved the ability of the "Young Zhuang faction," the military is a social group and has a conflict of interest, and Xiang Linghui is not wrong in supporting the "Young Zhuang faction." For this reason, suppressing other interest groups will have the effect of "going too far."
It was none other than Xiang Linghui who provoked the contradiction.
Tracing back to the source, Peng Mao is also the "initiator". After the implementation of the military reform, Peng Maobang did not understand what Ji Youguo meant, but because of the situation, he did not implement it thoroughly. Peng Maobang knew the consequences, so he pushed Xiang Linghui, who was still shallow, to the position of chief of the General Staff, and asked Xiang Linghui to help him complete the unfinished reform task. After retiring, Peng Maobang did not go home to retire, but stayed in Beijing, precisely to secretly support Xiang Linghui.
From the intensification of contradictions to the eruption of contradictions, a fuse is needed.
The Pyeongtaek incident has become the fuse for the outbreak of contradictions between the two major interest groups.
Zhao Rundong gave Wang Yuanqing full authority: reason, the consideration is very far-reaching, and the purpose is very clear. The first is to let Wang Yuanqing take this opportunity to form an alliance of interests with the "young Zhuang faction" in the army, laying the foundation for Wang Yuanqing to become the head of state two years later; The second is to let Wang Yuanqing establish his prestige in the army and clearly tell various interest groups that Wang Yuanqing will be the next head of state; The third is to leave room for maneuver before the situation gets out of control, so as not to make trouble out of control.
To this end, Rundong also asked Peng Maobang to stabilize those influential veterans.
How: Reason. It was not an easy thing for Wang Yuanqing.
The military is a very special group. In addition to the high hierarchy. The network of interests is relatively fixed. Although standing on the stage is the representative of each group. Either a general or a high-ranking officer. But behind each general there were tens of thousands of soldiers.
If you want the army to be stable.*Magnesium Γ cough C. br/>
There are two choices in front of Wang Yuanqing. The first is to use the "Shaozhuang faction" to crack down on the "family faction". So as to obtain the full support of the "Young Zhuang faction"; The second is to be a peacemaker. Taking advantage of the contradictions between interest groups to control the army, the "young Zhuang faction" and the "family faction" obey the command.
This is definitely not a simple multiple-choice question.
Although there are interest groups in any social group. Development can be promoted by proper internal competition when internal struggle is the main contradiction. Interest groups will become obstacles to development. To put it simply. Interest groups are able to promote the progress of the military to a certain extent. As long as a certain limit is exceeded. This will be a negative factor that restricts the development of the armed forces.
The key is "degree", that is, the size and influence of interest groups.
If Wang Yuanqing's support for the "Young Zhuang faction" can ensure that after several decades, the "Young Zhuang faction" will not become another "family faction" and become an obstacle to the growth of the republic's power?
"Support" is not the best choice, "balance" is the ideal way.
When Wang Yuanqing thought about these questions, Zhisheng came to the study.
"What's the matter?"
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs just sent it." Ye Zhisheng handed the document in his hand to Wang Yuanqing, "The United States and Japan have sent a diplomatic note again, and we will conduct armistice negotiations with South Korea as soon as possible." β
"Nothing else?"
Ye Zhisheng shook his head. "Neither the United States nor Japan responded to the questions raised by our country."
"Then ignore it and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continue to do tai chi." Wang Yuanqing dropped the papers, "Go prepare the car, and call the secretary of the head of state and say that I will go over immediately." β
Because the third campaign was coming to an end and the general policy of the fourth campaign had been decided, Zhao Rundong returned to the FΓΌhrer's Mansion and did not spend the night at the General Staff.
After meeting Zhao Rundong, Wang Yuanqing first reported on his diplomatic work.
"Since the United States and Japan have not given a positive answer to the question we raised, there is no need to consider the armistice." Zhao Rundong smiled coldly and said, "The idea of the United States and Japan is very simple, although the defeat of South Korea is a foregone conclusion, both countries hope that South Korea can continue to exist and become an important force to contain us." Whether to talk about it or not, and how to talk about it, is not decided by the diplomats, but by the army. The longer it drags on, the better it will be for us to negotiate. If we can complete the fourth campaign and occupy Pusan in mid-February, it is a question of whether we will negotiate or not. β
At the military meeting, Cho Yun-dong switched to supporting the capture of Pusan as soon as possible, precisely in order to end the war as soon as possible.
"I talked to Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi, as long as the preparation is sufficient, the fourth campaign will definitely end in mid-February."
Zhao Rundong glanced at Wang Yuanqing and said, "What did they say?" β
"Mainly the troops participating in the war." Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said,
I don't know much about military issues, so I don't know if they have said according to Pei Chengyi's statement, the prerequisite for a quick victory in the fourth campaign is the suddenness and speed of the attack. As long as the enemy launches an attack without the enemy's imagination and advances quickly, the combat operation can be completed and Busan captured in a matter of days. β
"That is, rapid assault forces are needed."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said: "Xiang Linghui also holds this view, thinking that in addition to letting the 38th Army stay, the 54th Army should be sent to the front line and the 77th Army should be the main assault mission. β
"77th Army?" Zhao Rundong frowned slightly, "That's what Xiang Linghui said?" β
"Pei Chengyi proposed it, and Xiang Linghui supported Pei Chengyi."
Zhao Rundong nodded slightly and said, "It seems that Xiang Linghui will also use his brain." β
Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Why, Ling Yunxiao was pulled up by Xiang Linghui. No matter what others think of the Pyeongtaek incident, Xiang Linghui believes that Ling Yunxiao has not made a mistake, and there is nothing worth holding accountable. β
"You can't talk about it, it's wrong, it's wrong, there's nothing to discuss." Zhao Rundong rubbed the sun ** and said, "However, Ling Yunxiao has indeed made great contributions. If it were not for the unexpected occupation of Cheongju by the 77th Army, we would have had to fight another large-scale battle on the western battlefield before we could march to Pusan, and the war would have dragged on until the end of February, or even early March. From a diplomatic point of view, if it drags on until early March, we will be very passive. When the time comes, Westwood has straightened out the domestic contradictions in the United States and will certainly put pressure on our country in all directions to force us to end the war on the peninsula if we do not want to. If we can end the war in mid-February, the United States will be very passive. β
"The key is the team that is committed."
Zhao Run nodded and said, "Since Xiang Linghui and Pei Chengyi are so sure, let them let them do it, let Ling Yunxiao stay on the front line, and continue to command the 77th Army." The investigation of the Pyeongtaek incident has been slowed down, and before the battle is over, whoever dares to chirp crookedly will be against the state and the nation, and will not be spared lightly. After the battle is over, you can deal with it as you want. Merit is merit, fault is fault, and if you can't have merit, you can ignore the fault, and we must grasp the balance well. β
Wang Yuan immediately nodded and agreed, because there was something in Zhao Rundong's words.
"Negligence" and "error" are completely different concepts, and the severity of "negligence" is severe. br/>
"You don't have to worry about the rest." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "I just talked to Lao Peng on the phone, except for the ones who jumped the hardest, most of the veterans thought that the 77th Army's approach was not wrong. After all, most generals put the interests of the country and the nation first. The performance of the 39th Army this time is very outstanding, and I am ready to let Su Jinhui be promoted to general and transferred to the General Staff to work. β
"This ...... Isn't it too fast? β
"It's not fast, it's not slow." Zhao Rundong pondered for a while and said, "The military reform implemented by Lao Ji has achieved very remarkable results, but military reform is a long-term thing, and the US military has been implementing reform until now. In these wars, our army has exposed a large number of problems, especially in the area of joint command. Therefore, I have decided to make an in-depth readjustment of the command structure of the armed forces after the end of the war on the peninsula, strengthen the joint command and joint combat capabilities of the troops, and fundamentally enhance the combat effectiveness of our armed forces. β
Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, Zhao Rundong's purpose of proposing military reform was not simple.
Ji Youguo proposed military reform after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, which laid the foundation for the subsequent East China Sea War and his place in the history of the Republic.
Zhao Rundong also wants to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.
If Zhao Rundong wants to become one of the most important heads of state of the republic, he will be deceived by the law of the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty will be despised and despised by the Song Servant and the Song Servant will be disdainful and the fan will be Γ and the sword will be recited. br/>
Regardless of whether Zhao Rundong wants to surpass Ji Youguo, or whether he has the ability to surpass Ji Youguo, he has to take action.
Military reform is an important measure for Zhao Rundong to reshape his image.
Not to mention the leaders of the country, even the common people of the Republic know that as long as Japan has nuclear weapons in its hands, the Republic and Japan will not be at peace forever. Someday, the two sides will use the most extreme means to resolve the century-old grudge.
Even if Zhao Rundong does not have a chance to lead the Republic to defeat Japan, as long as he lays the foundation for the next head of state to defeat Japan, he will be one of the greatest heads of state in the history of the Republic.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuanqing also sighed.
