"It's a pity that he couldn't make it in time for the restructuring ceremony this time," Thorpe said.
"It's not necessarily that we won't be able to catch up." Dongmen Chuiyu said, suddenly realizing that his words were a bit rash, he stopped talking.
None of them seemed to have heard this. He Ming pointed to the document in front of him and said to Thorpe: "The memorandum you wrote about the mobilization system is very good and thorough. We are all very satisfied. As you wrote in the memo,
That way: in addition to materials, storage and transportation, the utilization of human resources such as reserve force mobilization is a top priority! Many people only focus on those materials, but never thought that our human resource utilization is so low." He lowered his head.
After looking at the chart in his hand, he continued:
"The population of the entire Hainan under our control is about to reach 300,000 to 400,000, while the population we can directly control is only more than 100,000. Even in a core area like Lingao, except for the various immigrant villages under our own communes,
, among the indigenous villages, only Yanchang Village, and those villages in the Shiba Village area where we control the village administration have direct militiamen. The other militiamen are clan soldiers like Huangjiazhai who are semi-free from our control. Let’s not say whether they are
Reliable, combat skills alone are of little value to us. Only a part of the direct-controlled militia has combat experience. In the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign in Chengmai, we could only dispatch 5 army battalions and 1 naval battalion. Except for the navy, there is no
There are other strategic reserves - this is very dangerous. The industrial and agricultural departments regard their workers as treasures, and no one is willing to use them for active service until the moment of crisis. Therefore, the top priority is to mobilize and coordinate human resources and establish a
Complete reserve and militia systems, and establish local garrison forces as soon as possible to liberate the field army from daily defense and lay the foundation for the next step of military expansion."
"Also, the resource mobilization system for the newly occupied areas must be implemented in the future. The reasonable burden for the newly occupied areas is too rough now, and it is not conducive to mobilizing large amounts of materials." Chen Haiyang added, handing Thorpe a document.
, "This is the approval from the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command for you to establish a strategic reserve of grain and fodder. Find time to work with comrades from the Planning Institute, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Colonial Trade to make a plan and implement it immediately."
On April 30, a joint meeting of the Fubo Army was held at the Maziaobao Army Auditorium. In front of the auditorium hung the Army and Navy flags of the Fubo Army: the official name is the Star Fist Red Flag, but everyone privately calls it: the Iron Fist Exploding Chrysanthemum Bleeding Flag.
The double-headed eagle military emblem of the Fubo Army. The auditorium was crowded. In addition to the officers of the Navy and Army of the Fubo Army, there were also a large number of personnel from the industrial group. However, there were relatively few elders, and most of them were technical backbones among naturalized civilians.
The executive committee plans to let naturalized technical personnel serve as the main force this time, and the elders will only be responsible for supervision and guidance.
Dongmen Chuiyu sat on the rostrum and looked down. The officers who were naturalized civilians were all sitting very upright, with their leather belts creaking. The elders were a little casual, whispering to each other.
"Comrades, People's Commissar of the Navy, Rear Admiral Chen Haiyang, People's Commissar of the Army, Rear Admiral He Ming, and Comrade Dongmen Chuiyu, Permanent Secretary of the General Staff." A young Army lieutenant with a serious face walked out of the door on the other side of the auditorium.
Come in, say loudly, then turn around and stand at attention to salute. Chen Haiyang, He Ming and Dongmen Chuiyu walked in quickly, and the officers and technicians quickly stood up and saluted.
"Please take a seat, comrades." Chen Haiyang sat down in the middle of the rostrum and waved for everyone to take their seats. Dongmen Chuiyu, as secretary of the General Staff, sat on his left, and He Ming sat on the right.
Dongmen Chuiyu waited for the auditorium to quiet down. He first stood up to greet Chen Haiyang and He Ming, and then said: "We are starting the meeting now. The meeting memorandum has been sent to everyone. Please open it."
There is nothing new in the content of the meeting. The officers and technical staff present have already more or less learned enough confidential content. Today's meeting is mainly for briefings, and more importantly, changes in the organization and departments.
"First, with the approval of the Executive Committee, the Director-General of Military Affairs made the following decisions: the original Logistics Command was abolished and a Joint Logistics Headquarters was established to be responsible for the procurement, transportation, storage, and security of logistics supplies and equipment for the navy and army." Dongmen Chuiyu said.
After everyone opens the file, read the file aloud.
"The instruction is as follows: Starting from May 1, 1631, the joint logistics headquarters is responsible for the allocation of materials for all Fubo Army troops. The main transportation vehicles and logistics supply units in the army are under the dual command of its directly affiliated troops and the joint logistics headquarters. Theater
All civilian and Colonial Trade Department transport vehicles requisitioned within the territory will automatically be placed under the command of the Joint Logistics Headquarters."
This new team has made great progress compared to the previous operation method of two veterans of the logistics command and several staff officers. The first thing is to improve the organization.
The so-called improvement of the organization means expanding the staffing. The new version of the Joint Logistics Headquarters has four bureaus, because the army is now small and there are not enough senior officers. Let a group of lieutenants and captains occupy the equivalent of the directors of the bureaus under the four headquarters.
There seemed to be something wrong with the location, so I decided to just call the group for the time being.
Personnel and Materials Group (Bureau): Responsible for the mobilization, distribution, and deployment of reserve personnel and various materials, and coordinating public relief matters with the civil affairs department.
Materials and Equipment Procurement Group (Bureau): Responsible for the design, production, inspection, procurement, and warehousing of equipment and materials; and responsible for jointly handling the requisition, procurement, and seizure of private materials with the civil affairs department.
Maritime and Land Transportation Group (Bureau): Responsible for the design, production, inspection, and procurement of logistics transportation vehicles; taking over and coordinating the use of naval and army transportation vehicles; responsible for requisitioning civilian and colonial and trade transport vehicles (including civilians) in theaters, and responsible for transportation routes.
Planning and management of cargo flow.
Logistics Internal Security Group (Bureau): Responsible for the internal security of logistics, storage, and transportation. In wartime, with the consent of the Joint Operations Command, combat troops can be directly deployed."
After the establishment is announced, the personnel appointment order is as usual:
"With the approval of the Executive Committee and the Organization Department, Major Hong Huangnan is appointed as the director of the Joint Logistics Headquarters! Major Thorpe is appointed as the deputy director of the Joint Logistics Headquarters."
Amidst warm applause, Thorpe took over the agency flag, letter of appointment and the army chief's sword from Chen Haiyang. Since Hong Huangnan was not here, his outfit was replaced by Thorpe.
"Work hard, and you will be the steward of our Fubo Army from now on." Chen Haiyang patted Thorpe on the shoulder and said, "Plans are important, but execution is even more important. We look forward to your performance."
Thorpe silently saluted Chen Haiyang and several Fubo army leaders on the podium, turned around and stood at attention to salute everyone in the auditorium, and there was another wave of applause.
"Second, with the approval of the Executive Committee: Fubo Army has established a reserve mobilization system as follows: The reserve mobilization system consists of three parts: the militia, the National Army (Army), and the Coast Guard (Navy). The Militia is a non-detached mass armed force
The organization, under the command of the Senate and the Fubo Army, is responsible for combat readiness services, defensive combat tasks, and assisting in maintaining social order. The militia is the main source of reserves for the Fubo Army, the National Army, and the Coast Guard. The National Army and the Coast Guard
It is a navy and army force composed of retired personnel from the Fubo Army, full-time personnel and semi-off-the-job personnel. Its main responsibilities are to undertake security defense and defense work in the region, maintain social stability and participate in the military under the command of the Senate and the Fubo Army.
For emergency rescue and disaster relief, the National Army and the Coast Guard are also the main sources of reserves for the Fubo Army. The Fubo Army can call on the National Army and Coast Guard units to participate in combat operations on a rotational basis in the theater, with a rotation period of 9 months."
The composition of the reserve force is also a focus of debate among the elders. Everyone has no objection to the establishment of a system consisting of a militia and a national army similar to the armed police + reserve force in the old time. However, many elders have proposed the establishment of a reserve army of various professional arms. The reason
It is because the artillery, engineers and other professional arms are highly specialized that ordinary reservists cannot take on the role. Opponents cited the example of the old time and space in World War II when the German army was extremely short of manpower, while the navy and air force reserve forces were idle, and believed that at present
Lingao's human resources could not support so many different establishments at the same time. The final result of the compromise was that the reserve army system was temporarily cancelled, each unit of the Fubo Army established its own support force (depot), and the National Army's organizational structure moved closer to the Fubo Army.
Since the Navy was unwilling to share the name of the National Army with the Army, and did not want to create a "Maritime National Army", it was finally decided to use the Navy's National Army as the "Coast Guard".
The Coast Guard is a branch of the military that has existed for a long time - but for a long time, the Coast Guard did not exist except for a brand name and a polished captain Gao Xiaosong. After this military restructuring, it will officially become an independent army.
The National Army and Coast Guard are currently still under the respective responsibility of the Navy and Army in terms of command and operational guidance. However, in the future, they will become independent services.
"Third, the proposal for standardization of transport containers and vehicles jointly proposed by the Joint Logistics Headquarters and the Ministry of Colonization and Trade has been approved by the Senate, the Executive Committee and the Joint Operations Command and will be implemented from now on. Please refer to the meeting memorandum for specific regulations.
Part B of Annex."
Although Wu Nanhai laughed at him and called him a job-stealer, Thorpe still insisted on his opinion and insisted on the standardization of packaging size and all space dimensions related to the circulation of goods to improve logistics and logistics efficiency. This involves all goods packaging containers and carriers.
, including the size of the cargo space of railway trucks, heavy-duty vehicles, and ships, and even the design size of warehouses and cargo stacking areas. This suddenly caused the veterans of the industrial group to complain - this would mean that the existing specifications and drawings would have to be revised.
, and additional material consumption is required.
