In the conference room, Chief of Staff Zhang of the Southeast Military Region was having a meeting with Gao Shiwei of Army Group B and others.
Those who attended the meeting, if Jiang Bei were there, would definitely find that these people were the leading comrades in Army Group B who supported his thesis on the Synthetic Battalion.
"Everyone must have an idea about today's meeting!" Gao Shiwei said, pointing to the document in his hand.
The officers present all nodded solemnly, because they all had the documents in Gao Shiwei's hand and had read them, so they knew very well what the purpose of today's meeting was.
Gao Shiwei nodded, and then said: "Then, let's ask Chief of Staff Zhang to bring you the decision of the military region."
As soon as he finished speaking, the officers applauded one after another, waiting for Chief of Staff Zhang of the Military Region who was sitting on the main seat to speak.
Chief of Staff Zhang raised his hand to signal everyone to stop applauding, then took the loudspeaker and asked with a very serious expression: "Everyone knows the DA Division of the Eastern Military Region, right?"
"I know! It's the pilot unit of our first combined force." Commander Jiang, who was sitting near the front, replied.
"Okay, it's good to know!" Chief of Staff Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "As for the pilot work of the DA Division, several military regions of ours are working together to compete for this project, but our military region has always been weak in the initial plan.
The Eastern Military Region took advantage of it, and finally the headquarters decided to give the DA division to the Eastern Military Region for pilot testing."
"Since the Eastern Military Region has established a combined division, should our military region do so?" Chief of Staff Zhang said while looking at everyone.
"After research by our military region party committee, we found that we have to build a combined force. The combined force is a hurdle that must be overcome by the modern army. If we don't do a good job in the combined force, then we will not be able to modernize, scientifically and informatize our people's soldiers!"
"If we don't do this, our troops will fall behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten. Comrades, this is the truth that we have always adhered to for more than a hundred years!"
Chief of Staff Zhang patted the table and said firmly: "Now that the Eastern Military Region has started a pilot project, we must also make first-hand preparations and start considering synthetic reforms!"
"However, reform requires financial support. The headquarters funds are limited, so we can only temporarily allow the Eastern Military Region to establish a DA division. Our military region's application has been blocked."
Chief of Staff Zhang laughed when he said this: "Originally, I thought that our synthetic pilot project was going to fail, but some time ago, this guy Lao Gao handed me a document. After I read it, I immediately understood that our
There is still hope for the synthetic pilot project, and its theoretical direction is better and more complete than that of the Eastern Military Region."
"As for who submitted this document, everyone knows that it is the young comrade from Jiangbei who caused the Blue Army a headache during the annual exercise some time ago."
Chief of Staff Zhang said this and asked Commander Jiang: "Jiang Wei, that little comrade of yours, send someone to call him over. Today's meeting cannot be held without him!"
Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Chief, Comrade Jiangbei got married during this time! He asked for marriage leave."
Chief of Staff Zhang asked doubtfully: "Marriage?"
Commander Jiang nodded: "Yes, Chief, Comrade Jiangbei just held a party at our station a few days ago, and then asked for marriage leave to go to his old unit in the Capital Military Region."
Li Peng, the political commissar next to Mr. Jiang, quickly pulled Mr. Jiang and interjected: "Chief, I remember that Comrade Jiangbei will be on vacation tomorrow. He may have returned to Yangcheng today. I have asked someone to contact him. If he is in Yangcheng, I will ask him to catch up.
come over!"
Chief of Staff Zhang nodded: "Okay, let's call and ask. If he is in Yangcheng, let him come over. If not, forget it. Don't disturb Comrade Jiangbei's wedding leave. It's not easy for us comrades to spend time with their families."
"Yes, chief, I'll call someone right away!"
Li Peng responded, got up and went to the door of the conference room to wait for his security guard to explain a few words.
Chief of Staff Zhang saw Li Peng going out, and then he continued: "The modular formation and construction of synthetic battalions mentioned in Comrade Jiangbei's document, after discussion by the party committee of our military region, are very suitable for our military region to explore combined forces!"
"Although the battalion level is classified as a deputy regiment-level unit in Comrade Jiangbei's documents, for our military region, we can still build a battalion to see the effect first."
After speaking, Chief of Staff Zhang took out a red-headed document and passed it to everyone.
"In accordance with the spirit of the headquarters' instructions on the construction of digital synthetic forces, the military region party committee decided to mobilize the backbone of Group B Army to form a new digital synthetic pilot battalion, which will be a synthetic force at the exploration battalion level of our army."
As soon as Chief of Staff Zhang said these words, the division-level officers of Army Group B who were present at the meeting became excited. The digital composite force is still at the battalion level. What does this mean? It means that this unit will definitely be placed under the division.
.
This means that several of their divisions have a chance!
Chief of Staff Zhang raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down.
After everyone was quiet, Chief of Staff Zhang said slowly: "I know everyone wants to put this pilot unit under you, but, unfortunately, this combined battalion military area has already decided to put it directly under the machine gun."
"Wow..."
Everyone looked at Jiang Wei in disbelief. They had seen the firepower of the combined battalion. The infantry were all armored infantry, as well as air defense, tanks, various artillery, and technical communication companies. How could they be placed in the infantry division!
This is not scientific!
Commander Jiang looked excited. He knew that it was very likely that the combined battalion would be placed in their division, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. This is recognition of their division's work!
As for the dissatisfaction of other divisions, Commander Jiang didn't worry about it at all. He just stayed away if he was dissatisfied. It was his people who proposed the plan for the construction of the combined camp.
Chief of Staff Zhang knew what they were thinking and explained: "If the combined battalion is established, the infantry division will most likely undergo a completely new reorganization. At that time, it will be tantamount to a major battle for the mechanized infantry division.
Disarmament! So the military region party committee still thinks that the combined battalion should be placed in the infantry division!"
Everyone shook their heads helplessly. There was no way, the military region had already made a decision, and they could not interfere. What Chief of Staff Zhang said was indeed reasonable.
Seeing that everyone had understood the instructions of the military region party committee, Chief of Staff Zhang looked at Gao Shiwei: "Lao Gao! Read out the specific orders of the military region!"
"Yes, Chief of Staff!"
Gao Shiwei nodded, then looked at everyone and said very seriously.
"The military region decided that Group B Army will set up a combined force pilot office. I serve as the director of the office. The group army leadership team is a member. The office is mainly responsible for coordinating people and materials. Secondly, it also sets up a combined battalion construction team under the office. The team leader is Jiang Wei.
Li Peng serves as the deputy team leader, and the team members include the military chief and political officer of the synthetic battalion. The construction team is mainly responsible for the establishment and training of the synthetic battalion!"
"Infantrymen obey orders!"
Jiang Wei and Li Peng, who had just entered, quickly stood up and saluted.
Gao Shiwei waved the two of them to sit down and continued: "The construction of the combined battalion is related to the digital synthesis reform of our group army, even our military region, and even the entire army. Therefore, the military region requires that all units involved in the formation of the combined battalion must fully cooperate! No matter what
Whether it’s a person or an object, once they’ve been transferred, all units must release them!”
"Yes!" the officers responded loudly.
"Okay, everyone knows about the combined battalion. It is a deputy regiment-level unit. It has at least eight companies under its jurisdiction, two armored infantry companies, two tank companies, one artillery company, one air defense company, and one comprehensive support company.
Company, a technical support company! For Lao Jiang and his division, it is very difficult to gather these high-quality talents, so relevant talents cannot be hidden and tucked away in various units."
Gao Shiwei glanced at the crowd and said in a warning voice. He knew very well about his group of people. All outstanding talents were hidden by them, and they tried their best not to let them go. If he didn't warn them, he would not let them go.
I feel like there may not be enough people in the combined camp!
Chief of Staff Zhang stopped Gao Shiwei and said, "For the specific personnel arrangements, we'd better decide on the military chief and political chief of the combined battalion! After all, these people still have to ask for their opinions."
The commander of the tank division said: "Comrades, commanders and comrades, according to the military region's plan, this combined battalion is a deputy regiment-level unit. Is it too early to set it up? If it is decided to be a deputy regiment-level unit now, then we will all
The resource tilt must be higher than that of the battalion level, but it cannot be the resources of the main regiment level. Will this involve too much, and who will cooperate with whom on the battlefield, the main regiment or the combined battalion?"
Gao Shiwei explained: "As for the tilt of resources, the military region party committee has studied it and determined it according to the deputy regiment level. As for the administrative level, the deputy regiment level will be officially determined after the construction is completed!"
The tank commander nodded, understanding.
Li Peng thought of the military chief and hurriedly asked: "Commanders, since the combined battalion is going to be set up at the deputy regiment level, their battalion commander and instructor will also be at the deputy regiment level. Are there any candidates for the battalion commander and instructor?"
He was a little worried. In his opinion, Jiangbei was the most suitable battalion commander for the combined battalion. However, Jiangbei had only served as the full-time battalion commander for a short time. If he was at the deputy regimental level, wouldn't it mean that Jiangbei had no chance?
But the person who proposed the synthetic camp theory!
"Hey! The battalion commander has been selected for a long time! Of course it is Comrade Jiangbei!" Chief of Staff Zhang waved his hand and gave the answer.
"Comrade Jiangbei is the originator of the theory of combined battalion. It stands to reason that he is the most suitable to be the battalion commander. However, the commander, Comrade Jiangbei, has only been appointed as a full-time battalion officer not long ago. If the combined battalion is at the deputy regiment level, it means that the battalion commander must also be
At the deputy regiment level, Comrade Jiangbei is afraid that this is a bit out of order!" Li Peng asked tentatively.
"I'm talking about Li Peng, where has the courage gone? Isn't it just a matter of Comrade Jiangbei's qualifications? I think he is the originator of the synthetic camp theory, which is enough." Gao Shiwei said angrily.
Seeing that everyone was very calm, Gao Shiwei explained word by word: "I don't need to say anything about his abilities and achievements. Everyone knows that among the cadres at the camp level, except for his younger age, the others are placed on the sea and land.
The Air Force and the Air Force are among the best."
"As for the fact that he has just been promoted to the rank of full battalion and is not suitable for promotion to the deputy regiment level, this can be easily solved. As I said just now, our synthetic battalion will not be promoted to the deputy regiment level until the construction is completed. So during the construction period
Time, there is no need to mention Comrade Jiangbei's level. We only need to find a deputy regiment-level instructor who can help Comrade Jiangbei. When the synthetic camp is completed and formalized, we can mention Comrade Jiangbei's level again.
"
"You can't suffocate a living person to death just because he peed. Comrade Jiangbei is so capable. I think ordinary deputy regiment-level cadres may not do a better job than Comrade Jiangbei."
Chief of Staff Zhang suddenly laughed: "Lao Gao is right. Although it is peacetime now and there are generally no rocket-like promotions, it is nothing for a hero of the Republic like Jiangbei to be promoted by half a rank more than a year earlier!"
Li Peng quickly smiled and nodded in agreement. His purpose had been explored and of course he agreed.
Seeing that Li Peng had understood, Gao Shiwei continued: "Let's continue discussing the candidates for instructors and several deputy cadres!"
………
While the leaders were having a meeting, Jiangbei said goodbye to Xu Ningmeng, drove from home, and drove very quickly towards the headquarters of Army Group B.
The car belongs to Xu Ningmeng's family, and the two of them are driving it temporarily.
However, the two of them were not prepared to buy one. After all, they usually drove military vehicles and there was no need to buy one of their own. The one they bought would just sit there and collect dust in the end.
Jiangbei was very lucky. The house they sold was not far from the headquarters of Army Group B. He drove there in more than ten minutes.
He gave the certificate to the sentry, who checked it and immediately let him go. Jiangbei parked the car in the parking lot and jogged to the military headquarters building.
His car is a private car, so even if he has a pass, he cannot leave it lying around.
After jogging to the building, Jiang Bei met Xiao Li, the bodyguard of political commissar Li Peng.
"Captain Jiang, you are here. The leaders are having a meeting and are waiting for you?" Guard Xiao Li came over and said.
Jiang Bei nodded: "Okay, thank you Comrade Li. Which meeting room are the leaders in? I'll be there right away!"
Guard Xiao Li said: "Captain Jiang, come with me!"
With that said, Xiao Li walked upstairs.
Jiang Bei quickly followed without thinking.
As soon as they arrived at the door of the conference room on the fourth floor, Jiangbei saw the two of them. The door of the conference room opened, and rows of school officers walked out. Jiangbei knew that these people were from various units under Group B.
Chiefs.
Jiang Bei quickly stood aside and saluted one by one.
"Jiangbei, you're here! Hurry, come in quickly, the leaders are waiting for you!"
Li Peng, who came out of the conference room, glanced at the corridor and saw that Jiang Bei had arrived, and shouted happily.
"Yes, political commissar!" Jiang Bei walked over quickly and followed him into the conference room.
"Come on, our comrade Jiangbei is here. I was talking about you just now, but I really mean that Cao Cao is here!" Chief of Staff Zhang said happily when he saw Jiangbei coming in.
"Hello, heads!" Jiang Bei quickly glanced at the leaders in the conference room and saluted.
Chief of Staff Zhang returned the salute and said with a very kind smile: "Comrade Jiangbei, I'm sorry, I asked your political commissar to call you back from home when you took your wedding leave! You can't be angry with me!"
Jiang Bei shook his head: "Chief, my home is just a little bit next to the military headquarters. It's not far away. It's okay to run around."
"Hahahaha, that's good. Just don't blame me. I'm just afraid you'll be so angry that you won't give me wedding candy!" Chief of Staff Zhang said with a smile.
"Chief of Staff, you haven't given your blessing to Comrade Jiangbei yet, so of course I won't send you wedding candy!" Gao Shiwei joked at the side.
"Yes, Comrade Jiangbei, what is your lover's name?" Chief of Staff Zhang asked.
"Reporting to the chief, my wife's name is Xu Ningmeng, and she is also a soldier in our military region." Jiangbei replied.
"Xu Ningmeng, you have a good name, and you are a soldier. Military families are good. Then I wish you and Comrade Xu Ningmeng a happy wedding, have a son soon, and contribute new blood to the cause of our people's army." Staff Officer Zhang.
Chang Gentle said.
"Thank you, chief! I will definitely tell my lover when I get back!" Jiang Bei thanked him very happily.
Chief of Staff Zhang nodded, and then continued: "Let me tell you good news. Your proposal for the construction of a combined battalion has been adopted by our military region. Congratulations, double happiness!"
