In the headquarters of the Beijing Military Region, Jiang Baili was sitting behind his desk, dealing with a large pile of essays on the table.

Today, the three highest-ranking generals in China are Cai Yi, Jiang Baili and Feng Guozhang. Although the rest of Wu Peifu and Liu Guangyuan and others are also relatively capable of fighting, the gap in qualifications is still relatively large after all, and they cannot be compared with the above three people for the time being.

At present, Cai Ye was sent to the Ural Military Region, specifically responsible for handling affairs there and relations with Soviet Russia, while Feng Guozhang was presiding over the war against Japan in the northeast, so Jiang Baili was the only one sitting in Beijing.

Jiang Baili didn't feel anything about this, after all, the complexity of the Urals really needed to be guarded by a general who was good in both military and political affairs, and the northeast was almost the same.

Having said that, the many official tasks in the daily life still brought him great pressure. Fortunately, his body is much stronger than Cai Yi, and there are many people around him to help, so he is very competent in this matter...

"Sir, this is the Wen Jiàn who just arrived..."Just when Jiang Baili was still there to deal with Wen Jiàn, Jiang Baili's secretary came over with a copy of Wen Jiàn, and then placed it in front of Jiang Baili.

"What's that?" Glancing at the text, Jiang Baili asked.

"It's about military reform, and the Ministry of Defense just came over, and it is said that I want to ask for your opinion..." In addition, I heard that General Cai and General Feng also seem to have received such telegrams..."

"Military reform?" Hearing his secretary say this, Jiang Baili groaned. I don't know what was going on in my heart, but after a little silence, Jiang Baili nodded. Then put the text jiàn again. "Alright, let's put it here for now, I'll deal with it later..."

"Yes!" Hearing Jiang Baili's answer, the secretary also nodded, just glanced at the text and turned to leave, leaving Jiang Baili looking at the text and distracted, and he didn't know how long it took before he spoke. "Military reform ...

Nature. These must not have been heard by that secretary.

In fact, there were already such voices on military reform as early as the European war.

And this reform refers to nothing else. It's a battle between the triangular division and the quadripartite division.

As early as the First World War, countries already felt that the original Quadripartite system seemed somewhat out of place. Because according to the standards of the quadripartite system, an infantry division will have two brigades and four regiments, so it is obviously somewhat complicated in command.

And if it is changed to a three-three system. Let's say get rid of the brigade unit. If only one division is left and three infantry regiments are added, the layer that needs to be contacted in the middle can be removed, and the command is much simpler. Moreover, it is possible to put out a triangular or inverted triangle lineup with one front and two rear, or two front and one rear―――――― while putting two regiments into the frontal battlefield, you can also leave one regiment as a reserve.

Of course, such a quadripartite system can also be done, but if one brigade is withdrawn at a time, there will definitely be a gap, and if only one regiment is withdrawn at a time. There are some problems with the command, and in a word, it is a very complicated matter...

On the other hand...

If there are three regiments in front. Moreover, if all of them were under the command of a division or a brigade, things would obviously be much simpler―――――― and more importantly, this would not reduce the overall number of the entire army, and the missing regiment could be reorganized into a new division with other troops, and the number of divisions would not be less, but the number of divisions would increase.

However, such a system is much simpler...

And then there's...

Those A divisions are also counted, but the current C division is also the establishment of two brigades and four regiments, in this case, isn't it a very wasteful feeling?

Therefore, after the end of the European war, some people have begun to mention that the existing four-party system should be changed to the latest three-three system, so that the operation can obviously be more flexible.

At present, the most controversial issue is whether or not to retain such an establishment as a brigade within the division.

It doesn't mean that the brigade should be abolished, at least some of the main divisions will definitely be retained, after all, since it is the main division, then it is impossible to have only three infantry regiments like ordinary troops, and the strength of that kind of strength is inevitably too small...

They argued over whether ordinary infantry divisions, such as Division C or Division B, still needed to retain the brigade rank.

For example, if a division has only three infantry regiments, according to many officers, these three regiments can be directly handed over to the division headquarters, and there is no need to get another brigade out of it. In this case, the significance of adopting the three-three system is completely wasted―――――― the intermediate link is abolished, and the command becomes simpler.

On the other hand, however, they believed that it would be a bit of a burden to hand over all the troops to the division headquarters to command. To keep the brigade this unit. Of course, the remaining brigade commander could only command his three infantry regiments, and the rest of the formations, such as artillery, cavalry, engineers, and logistics, needed to be handed over to the division headquarters, especially the artillery.

Because in the past, many people had built a regiment, and the establishment of artillery regiments could be abolished and artillery could be integrated into the brigade level. In this way, each brigade can have independent combat capability, and there is no need to wait for the assistance of the division headquarters.

This statement is of interest to many people in the military, including Yan Shao. But he soon reacted, that is, if artillery is integrated into the infantry brigade, it is true that the units of this infantry brigade have the ability to fight independently, but when there is a large-scale joint operation, things will be a little troublesome ...

Among other things, when it is necessary to concentrate all the artillery for unified use, then the independent artillery regiment is obviously better and easier to concentrate and use than the artillery units that are integrated into the infantry brigade or even the infantry regiment.

And before the end of the Second World War, before the 5o years to be exact. Large-scale warfare is a common occurrence, especially in the European theater, especially during the Soviet-German war. Yan Shao can't say that it's not a good idea to do this, but it's a little too early...

It is precisely because Yan Shao is the kind of person who is in favor of retaining the establishment of the artillery regiment.

――――――――――――――――――――――

At present, there are two main theories about the three-three system, except for the main division, and the rest of the troops. One is very simple, it is to cancel the brigade as a unit. Directly hand over the three infantry regiments and the rest of the troops to the division headquarters for command.

There is also an idea that the units of the infantry brigade should be retained and that three infantry regiments should be placed under the command of the infantry brigade. The artillery and cavalry were all handed over to the division headquarters, which not only reduced the pressure on the brigade unit, but also allowed it to concentrate more on commanding ordinary infantry units.

Of course, this does not mean that the brigade unit should be abolished. IDF merely intends to abolish brigades at the division level. The ordinary infantry brigades are not intended to be abolished, on the contrary, they are intended to turn these infantry brigades into a similar kind of mixed brigades, nothing more―――――― but at the moment the country is more advocating divisions, so it seems that there are no brigades or anything...

In the long run, the three-three system is indeed more suitable, after all, it is very convenient to command. And it is especially important that there are more and more combat units in the army today. Like in the beginning. Even the units of the main division only have five units: infantry, cavalry, artillery, engineers, and logistical baggage, and at most a military band. However, whether the military band can be regarded as a combat unit is really a matter worth considering.

Today, however, the Wehrmacht not only has these units, but also reconnaissance, communications, anti-tank, medical, and gendarmerie units. Moreover, considering the emergence of armored units, it is very likely that there will be such an establishment as a tank battalion or a tank regiment in the future, which is not impossible, at least at present, there are quite a few people in the army who have strongly established a tank regiment in the main division, as the operational vanguard of the entire unit, and enhance the offensive capability of the troops.

It should be said that although there are still many people who are nostalgic for the quadripartite system, reform seems to be inevitable at present. It's just that at present, the number of troops in the country is as high as more than 2 million, and it is absolutely not possible to simply talk about reform, and this is also one of the reasons why there has been no action for the time being.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Jiang Baili sighed and shifted his gaze to the desk again, intending to continue to concentrate on the official business on the desk. But at this time, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and the piercing ringtone made Jiang Baili slightly startled in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure and reached out to grab the phone.

"Hey, I'm Jiang Baili!"

After speaking, Jiang Baili quietly listened to the voice on the phone, and after a while, Jiang Baili's expression changed slightly, and he quickly nodded. "Okay, I'll go over now, please let him wait a while..." Jiang Baili hung up the phone, walked quickly to the hanger on the side, and draped the military uniform hanging on his body.

Jiang Baili wore the autumn daily clothes of the Wehrmacht, although the style was not much different from the summer one, but the fluffy one was very warm. No way, who said that the weather has turned cold now, and wearing summer clothes again is somewhat of a death...

After getting dressed, Jiang Baili soon took a car to the presidential palace.

Looking at the majestic building not far away, even though it was not the first time Jiang Baili had seen this building, he still felt a little shocked in his heart.

"General, the president, he is waiting for you in the office..."

When Jiang Baili's car stopped in front of and behind the steps, a young man in a black suit came over and whispered to Jiang Baili.

"Well, I see..."Nodding, Jiang Baili continued to walk inside.

He has been here I don't know how many times, although there are some places he hasn't actually been, but at least he still remembers how to get to Yan Shao's office, not to mention that there are people along the way, and soon he came to the door of Yan Shao's office.

When Jiang Baili walked into Yan Shao's office, Yan Shao was sitting on his sand, looking at a comic book a little bored. The style of painting in the comics is very rough, and the content is also a little biased towards children, but Yan Shao still watches it with some relish―――――― can't help it, after all, there are too few entertainment programs in this era. Even with Yan Shao's ability to appreciate, there has been a great deterioration.

It can be said that in addition to the ability to appreciate women is still maintained at a high level, what else. In fact, Yan Shao's appreciation ability has almost degenerated.

But even if he was a little fascinated by the comics in his hand, Yan Shao was not so dull that he didn't even know that someone had come in the room, after noticing that someone had entered the room, Yan Shao raised his head and happened to see Jiang Baili, and when he saw that Jiang Baili had come in, Yan Shao's face showed a smile.

"It's you. Hurry up, sit down..."After finishing speaking, after the next person hung Jiang Baili's coat on the hanger, Yan Shao continued to ask. "How. What's the weather like outside? Is it cold? ”

"It's okay..."Jiang Baili gave Yan Shao a vague answer, but he was not wrong, although the weather outside was already relatively cold, it was not yet frighteningly cold. Wear a thick coat. It's just to keep warm...

"Yes." Yan Shao didn't care about this answer, and after signaling the others to withdraw first, Yan Shao said directly to Jiang Baili. "I'm calling you here this time because I want to ask for your opinion."

Hearing Yan Shao say this, Jiang Baili couldn't help laughing. "What a coincidence, in fact, I also have something I want to talk to you about this time."

"Oh?" Hearing Jiang Baili say this, Yan Shao showed an expression of some interest. "What is it, it is worth running for you personally."

"It's about the military system of the army..."

Hearing this, Yan Shao's expression became a little stern.

And it's no wonder he's so. After all, this thing is likely to be the standard of more than two million Wehrmacht troops in the next thirty or forty years, and he cannot afford to be lax.

What's more, it was Jiang Baili who personally proposed it. Who is Jiang Baili? Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Wehrmacht! In the case of Cai Yi, the general staff officer, who has been in the Urals for a long time, Jiang Baili has unimaginable power to speak, and even Yan Shao can't ignore his opinion, so after hearing Jiang Baili's words, Yan Shao quickly said seriously.

"What do you think, tell me about it?"

"Then I'll tell you..."

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Seeing that Yan Shao was really interested, Jiang Baili nodded and cleared his throat.

"My view is that the existing military establishment is indeed somewhat out of date, and the quadripartite system is indeed inflexible on the battlefield, especially in today's China, after all, this era is an era of change, not only in all aspects, but also in military technology, especially after the emergence of weapons and equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles, the mode of war has changed, although the existing quadripartite system cannot be said to have been completely eliminated, However, the changes in the offensive are inevitably much more rigid, and some are not quite in line with the current course of war. ”

"Therefore, I have adopted the Ministry of National Defense's proposal a few days ago, adopted the three-three system, and reorganized all the troops of the current National Defense Sixth Army into a three-three system..."

Hearing Jiang Baili say this, Yan Shao nodded. "Actually, I also have such an idea, but how to do it, this is a bit ......... After all, at present, the national defense force is divided into three levels, A, B and C, and because of this, the troops are organized, if you want to change to a new level, this is nothing, but it is impossible to make all the troops look the same..."Speaking of this, Yan Shao looked at Jiang Baili and said with a helpless smile. "To tell the truth here, of course, this is definitely not what I should say as an identity, but I believe that you will not spread it, let alone casually say the content of today's conversation―――――― in the Wehrmacht, there should always be some cannon fodder..."

Saying that the troops within the army are cannon fodder is indeed not what Yan Shao should say, but Yan Shao still said it because this is the truth. Just like Yan Shao said, in this world, there should always be some troops like cannon fodder.

In the past, those C-seed divisions played a similar role, and what should happen after the three-three system was adopted also needs to be considered...

"I also took this into consideration..."Jiang Baili is a soldier, no matter how noble he is, some things are still understood, and he will not be too pedantic, so he knows very well that Yan Shao is telling the truth, and he will definitely not take it out and spread it, because even he himself thinks so." Therefore, I will retain the existing three levels and continue to divide the troops into three levels: A, B, and C, of which Class A is naturally the undoubted main force, and it is the middle, while Class C is simple, as you said......... 'cannon fodder'..."Speaking of this, Jiang Baili couldn't help but smile bitterly.

But soon he packed up his feelings, and then recounted his thoughts.

"My idea is this, the first-class troops are now able to take charge of their own existence, and they should be like this in the future, so instead of being reduced, they should be expanded on the existing stage, so that one division can play the role of an army and rush to the role of the pillar of a certain theater in wartime, so I mention yì ........." Speaking of this, Jiang Baili continued after a slight hesitation. I mention yì and position the establishment of the A Division as a three-brigade and nine-regiment system..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Baili's expression also looked very solemn, after all, the three brigades and nine regiments, such an establishment had never been used in the past. (To be continued......)
