Chapter 1005: Promotion Ceremony

readx; Bao Gangyi is also a general of the same generation as Song Junpeng and Xie Yan, unlike Song Junpeng and Xie Yan, who were born in the army, Bao Gangyi was born in the guard division. During www.biquge.info the Civil War, he served as the commander of the guard division and the commander of the Nanjing Garrison Command after the reunification of the country, and then he was transferred to the army and served as the commander of the field army and other important positions.

In the end, he was promoted to general after slowly accumulating seniority, but Bao Gangyi has not held any real power positions in the past five or six years, and he is almost seventy years old this year, if nothing else, he will retire in the next two years.

After all, the replacement of generals in the army is carried out year after year, and every year more or less military generals retire from active service due to age and political problems, and he Bao Gangyi is no exception.

Therefore, looking at Song Junpeng and Xie Yan of the same generation laughing and talking there, Bao Gangyi felt a little lost, he was about to quit the military circles, but they could continue to be active in the domestic military circles, and there was hope to go further.

Chen Huabiao's wedding has evolved into a political gathering to some extent, and the military and political dignitaries took this opportunity to meet Chen Jingdi, and at the same time to connect with colleagues and expand their contacts.

The next time, after Chen Huabiao's wedding ended, many dignitaries left by train or plane, but Song Junpeng did not return to Turkey as soon as possible, but stayed for two days.

Two days later, the promotion ceremony supported by Chen Jingyun was successfully held, in which Chen Jingyun personally put on the marshal's epaulette to Song Junpeng, along with Song Junpeng's promotion ceremony, Chen Jingyun also took advantage of this opportunity to promote two generals and a number of lieutenant generals and major generals, promoted to general were Feng Yuxiang of the Army, this time because he served as the commander of the Seventh Army and was promoted to general, and the other was the former commander of the Fifth Mobile Fleet of the Navy, Wu Jishou, this time because he was transferred to the commander of the Second Fleet and was promoted to admiral. As for the many lieutenant generals, the most eye-catching is Li Yuting, who is known as the most military talent among China's new generation of generals and has high hopes by a group of army bosses, who served as the commander of the third division as early as the Russian war, and according to his talent and qualifications, he could have been promoted to lieutenant general a long time ago, but his age is too young, and he is only forty-four years old this year, so he was promoted to lieutenant general after a few years, and thus he became one of the three armies of China's navy, land and air force. In addition to the other descendants of the Chen family, he is the oldest lieutenant general.

This young man, known as the most outstanding of China's third-generation generals, was valued by many army bosses when he was still a school officer, and when he was successfully promoted to major general, he was regarded by Shen Gang as the future successor of the army, and he also lived up to the expectations of Shen Gang and Chen Jingyun and others. In fact, it was he who came up with and perfected.

Then, at the age of 42, he put forward the concept of informationized warfare, and urged many bigwigs of the army to establish an informationized combat system for the troops, including a large number of individual communications equipment, so that basic infantry units could directly call for artillery and air force support, and even put forward the concept of electronic warfare, implement electronic jamming on the battlefield, and comprehensively intercept the enemy's communications system, and so on.

This person, when it comes to the ability to actually command operations, there are a lot of generals who are more powerful than him in the Chinese Army, but in the matter of the army's strategic development, he is known as the first person among the new generation of army generals, and Shen Gang's evaluation of him in front of Chen Jingyun is: He has an extremely rare view of the overall situation and is extremely innovative in the development of future war patterns.

To a certain extent, Li Yuting and Shen Gang are very similar, although Shen Gang's ability to command operations is also good, but his strategic command ability is praised by Chen Jingyun and others, and he is called China's premier strategist. And Li Yuting also has the momentum of developing in this direction, on the contrary, Li Yuting's excellent operational command ability is still not so valued by Chen Jingyun.

China's officer corps is a more famous officer corps than the German Junkers officer corps, and there are a lot of famous generals and fierce generals among them. However, among these famous generals, there are very few people who really have a comprehensive strategic vision, and most of these generals have no problem letting them command a group army or even a theater, but it is too reluctant for them to let Li Lianyang, Zuo Yugang, and Song Junpeng make suggestions for the military development of the whole of China.

Today's China has such a huge military strength that commanding tens of millions of military forces across the country and commanding hundreds of thousands of field troops are two completely different things.

And the person who really has this ability and makes Chen Jingyun trust is actually just one Shen Gang, in addition, Chen Yi can only be regarded as half, Chen Yi's ability is still slightly inferior to Shen Gang, the reason why Chen Yi, the lame marshal, was able to surpass dozens of generals and five or six marshals and become half of the decision-makers of the entire [***] affairs force, is inseparable from Chen Jingyun's trust in him.

If it is said that throughout World War II, Chen Jingyun controlled the development direction of the whole China, then Shen Gang and Chen Yi controlled the direction of the entire Chinese affairs force, and this control not only refers to the army, but also includes the navy and the air force. Although Shen Gang and Chen Yi are both army generals, in the eyes of Shen Gang and Chen Yi, the two real army bosses, the navy and air force are just a subordinate branch of the army, and they exist to cooperate with the army.

And Li Lianyang, Zuo Yugang, Song Junpeng and others who came over again are in control of the army force, while Guan Shijie, Lu Jian and others control the navy, and Wu Shizhong controls the air force. Although these people are all marshals in military rank, they are still much worse than Shen Gang and Chen Yi.

Li Yuting's promotion can be said to be expected by many people, after all, this Li Yuting has already entered the sight of the army boss in the late thirties, and he was already a key training object of the army when he was a school officer, and now he has accumulated enough qualifications, and he is also forty-four years old, and there will not be much opposition to the promotion to lieutenant general at this time.

After all, the promotion system of China's navy, land and air force is still very rigid, and in the civil war period a few decades ago, there could be lieutenant generals and generals in their twenties and thirties, but now in the forties, major generals in their forties can be said to be young and promising, and the future is bright.

And the Chinese side does not have the so-called wartime rank like the United States and other Western countries, that is to say, when officers are temporarily promoted during the war because of the need to hold positions, this wartime military rank is only valid during the war, and after the war, it will be restored to the original military school, for example, a colonel may be continuously promoted to major general or even lieutenant general during the war, but after the war, it will still be restored to the rank of colonel.

Therefore, in World War II, you can see that the promotion speed of officers in many British and American countries is extremely fast, and it may appear from lieutenant to general within a year, but this situation is difficult to appear in China, and the promotion of officers on the Chinese side is extremely stiff, and the qualifications are not enough, even if there are military merits, they can't be promoted, even if they jump two levels in a row last year, he was just a lieutenant general at the beginning, but he was promoted to marshal in less than half a year, but even so Lu Jian has accumulated enough qualifications, There are a number of political reasons that have led to this.

Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to appear, and the Chinese side will basically promote a group of generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals every year, and the first condition for promotion is that the qualifications are sufficient, and at the same time, there must be corresponding military merits. If you only have qualifications and no military achievements, it is difficult to get promoted. However, it is difficult to get promoted if you have military merits and no qualifications.

Although there is no such super-ace in the Chinese navy and air force that has shot down hundreds of enemy planes, there are still quite a few aces in the Chinese navy and air force that have shot down dozens of enemy planes, and there is even a super ace who has shot down more than 100 enemy planes, and his name is Wang Donglin, who served in the 19th Wing of the Air Force, and last year was a pilot of an F4H fighter who shot down more than 60 planes during the operation. At the end of the year, his squadron was reequipped with F12 fighters and was transferred to Europe, where he shot down almost 40 German planes, making his personal record more than 100.

However, this kind of record did not make him soar into the sky, directly from second lieutenant to colonel or something, and he was only promoted from last year's second lieutenant to the current major, and this rank is actually the highest military rank that most pilots can obtain, and then it is a command and management position. Therefore, if Wang Donglin wants to be promoted at this time, then he has to enter the Air Force Command College to study, and then he can continue to serve as a group leader, wing commander and other positions, and he will be a general if he rises up, such as the commander of the air defense command, the chief of staff, and the aviation command.

Therefore, even if Wang Donglin shoots down 10,000 enemy planes, he will not be able to cross the threshold of lieutenant colonel if he does not go to the Air Force Command Academy for further study and accumulate sufficient information. This situation has also led to the fact that after shooting down many enemy pilots and being promoted to major, most of the ace pilots of the Chinese Air Force choose to enter the Air Force Command College to study, and after coming out, they are promoted to lieutenant colonel and other positions such as group leader, and they can also choose to go to the training wing to serve as squadron leader, group leader and other positions, and act as flight instructors, so that after accumulating a period of time, they can be promoted to military ranks and return to the combat readiness wing to serve as management and command positions.

Of course, it is not excluded that there are some guys who are born to like to fly planes to fight, they would rather not be promoted to continue to stay in the combat squadron, although the rank cannot continue to rise, but the medal on the chest is from the bronze double sword medal to silver, and then to the gold double sword medal, and then to the red and gold double sword medal, and then to the diamond double sword medal......
