Chapter 154 Experimental Proposal: Planning for the Non-commissioned Officer Academy
The secret archive "On Informationized Warfare" records the mature concept of informationized organization.
In fact, the concept of synthesis in later generations did not appear as late as imagined. Various ideas had appeared as early as the 1970s and 1980s. The actual compilation concept in 1999 can be said to have been basically perfected.
However, in order to smoothly overcome the pain of the transformation phase, the higher-ups have extremely high requirements for the confidentiality of the documents.
In his previous life, Chen Mo was fortunate enough to see some things only after the confidentiality period was lifted in 2003, and he had discarded these ideas as trash.
Unexpectedly, in this life, it appeared before my eyes again four years earlier.
Still in the confidentiality period.
Chen Mo sighed. Sometimes, it is really hard to understand the circumstances of life.
If he had enough authority in his previous life and knew that this file had appeared a long time ago and was still top secret, would he change his "diehard" thinking?
The answer is probably no.
The gap in cognition between the times is overwhelming.
In his previous life, he came from the motorized infantry, and the concept he was exposed to from the very beginning was that motorized infantry on the battlefield were to fill the gaps for the large mechanized army.
Large-scale corps combat is the mainstream, and focusing on full mechanization is the dream of him as a motorized infantryman. Any informationization is a side path.
Fate always likes to play jokes on people.
A document that was very important to him in his previous life is now placed before him again.
If it were the old him, he would probably argue with the old men in front of him.
"What? What's the problem?"
Zhang Jinnan saw Chen Mo staring at the label on the file bag, standing there stupidly, and not signing the confidentiality agreement. He frowned and asked.
"No, sir, I don't have a pen."
After Chen Mo recovered, he quickly looked away.
It’s not his fault that he lost his composure. It was really his thinking at that time that brought him so much regret.
Sometimes, it really is just a matter of one thought.
"Hehe, you are quite shameless." Zhang Jinnan didn't think much about it. He thought that Chen Mo was squatting beside the table in a daze because he didn't have a pen and was embarrassed to pick it up.
He took out a pen and handed it over without even reading the contents of the confidentiality agreement.
Just sign your name with a "Shua Shua".
Vice President Zhang Jinnan picked up the agreement and took a look at it before pointing to a stool beside him and saying, "You can open this document and take a look."
"Remember, once you leave this room, you must not reveal a single word of the contents of this document to anyone else. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Chief, I understand!!"
Chen Mo stood up solemnly and straightened his body, then picked up the file bag as required and opened it one by one to check.
The content is really not attractive to him now. Not only has he seen this stuff in his previous life, but more importantly, it is the current theory of information warfare.
They all come from various ideas that were developed after the outbreak of the first Gulf War a few years ago. They are relatively complete, but they are only concepts.
Compared with the formation of combined battalions in later generations, this is still far behind.
The content is a bit rough.
However, at present, it is still a shocking idea.
The reason is simple.
That is, the current development of the army is still focusing on following the Americans, and all energy is put into imitation.
This document has put forward the idea of developing its own military-industrial path, which is basically consistent with the views he put forward in class.
Since the archives can be classified as confidential, it goes without saying that this idea must have been agreed upon by some people, and a large number of related project topics have probably been studied in depth.
Chen Mo pretended to be seeing this thing for the first time and looked through it over and over again.
The old men nearby were quite patient and never urged them.
Chen Mo spent almost half an hour installing it, and when he felt the time was about right, he sealed the file again.
Put it on the table.
"How about it, what do you think after reading it?"
Zhang Jinnan smiled and looked happily at the young people in front of him, including the old man who had just been studying the documents in his hand carefully, and also cast his eyes over.
"Chief!"
Chen Mo stood up, stood at attention and saluted!
"Sit down. If you have anything to say, sit down and talk. No need to be so polite." Zhang Jinnan waved his hand.
"yes."
Ponder for a moment.
Chen Mocai tried to ask, "Commander, the military district is currently collecting data on armored units' confrontations over the past three years. Is this document related?"
"Well, you can say that." Zhang Jinnan didn't hide anything and nodded quickly, saying, "Your words also reminded us."
Said.
Vice President Zhang sighed and continued, "In the past, the academy relied on data from existing garrison units for many of its projects, but they overlooked your statement that the improvement in armored combat effectiveness is more convincing than that of the grassroots armored units."
"You're right, but there are some things you don't understand. It's not easy to carry out the experiment."
"We're facing significant resistance. We've long wanted to find a unit to experiment with informationized warfare, but unfortunately, we haven't made any significant progress."
It would be strange if there was any progress.
Chen Mo secretly curled his lips.
He knew that the college would take the lead in the Blue Army Camp, and not just now.
In 1992, the Blue Army appeared in the Kyoto Military District.
And more than one.
There are many factors that led to the ultimate failure.
Informatization was just a prototype at that time, but we wanted to learn from the Americans and imitate their equipment.
The result is a hodgepodge. The essence of informatization is not grasped, and the imitation weapons cannot keep up. They can only learn from others by wearing foreign military uniforms and even changing their meals to hamburgers and beef, which is completely Westernized.
It is no exaggeration to say that at that time, even the lighters used for smoking imitated the equipment of other soldiers.
But the combat effectiveness is still a mess. These are all experimental examples.
Does it sound like nonsense?
But this is how the country has slowly found its way to where it is today, step by step.
"Commander, even if we get the exercise data of these armored units and see the changes in combat capabilities in recent years, will informationization be mentioned in subsequent experimental documents?"
"Yes, that's right. Pick a unit that performs better and continue the experiment."
Zhang Jinnan did not hide anything and admitted it very honestly.
"The theory you proposed in class is very consistent with the idea of our experiment. Are you interested in giving it a try?"
Here we come!
The opportunity that belongs to me has finally come.
Chen Mo knew that as long as he nodded now, after a few months, after these old men looked at the data submitted by the military region below, they would definitely choose a unit to conduct another experiment.
And he will then go to that unit as a graduated officer to complete the corresponding tasks.
In this way, his background and connections can all rely on Dean Lu.
It's easy to get up as long as you make a little progress.
But Chen Mo knew better than anyone that he couldn't agree.
At least we cannot agree to it at the moment. It’s not that there are not enough opportunities, but judging from the current xenophobic situation at the grassroots level, it is just a matter of randomly picking a unit to conduct an experiment.
In the past, he was a marginal figure who could not cause any waves.
The reason why Chen Mo held on to the 7th Armored Brigade tightly was because he knew too well that if he didn't form a faction, he could just parachute into the new unit alone.
No matter how great your ability is, it will be useless if your direct supervisor cannot do his job well and does not support or recognize you.
The academy is indeed very good. All kinds of battle theories, tactics, and technological developments come from here, but the problem is that the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
Experiments are not something that can be done just by talking.
"Just tell me what you think."
When Zhang Jinnan saw Chen Mo hesitate, he knew that the young man in front of him must have his own ideas.
Otherwise, a private would be promoted to officer on the second day after arriving at the academy. How could he hesitate about such a good thing?
"Commander, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's right."
Chen Mo hesitated for a while, but decided to put forward his own suggestion.
"Just tell me."
"yes."
"Commander, this document mentions an informationized force. Do we want to implement it right away, conduct experiments directly, and wait for success?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhang Jinnan was stunned when he heard this. He looked up and saw the heads of several departments of the Army Academy, including the old professor of combat science, all looking at him.
He was the first to stand up and said, "Let's go to another place."
The place has indeed changed.
They moved to the office on the second floor of the Jing'an Teaching Building. Chen Mo didn't know which department head was working there.
But the office is not an archive room after all, so here, a few old men can smoke without any worries.
That guy was like a burning kang, with smoke billowing out of the sky.
The way the old men smoked was totally inconsistent with the image of an old professor.
Chen Mo, a young man of the younger generation, was also treated preferentially. Two or three packs of cigarettes were placed in front of him, and seven old men sat opposite him, staring at him one by one.
"What did you mean by just experimenting and waiting for success?"
Zhang Jinnan's tone was not as gentle as at the beginning, but rather solemn, or even harsh.
Academics have this kind of bad temper, there's nothing you can do about it.
Chen Mo felt uncomfortable being stared at. He twisted his body and changed his sitting position before speaking: "Chief, please don't be anxious."
"What I said may not be correct. I have read the information documents, and many of the contents are completely different from the current combat thinking of the armored forces."
"Choose a unit to conduct experiments and promote informatization, but what exactly is informatization? All documents are kept confidential, and any experiment will be restricted."
"From the perspective of the external environment, each unit has its own set of combat theories, and a completely new theory cannot be promoted in a short period of time."
"From an internal perspective, few people even know what informatization is. Such a major system change is directly attributed to a single unit. Even if they want to promote it, they don't know where to start."
What Chen Mo said makes sense.
The content of "On Informationized Warfare" is still confidential. The academy has spent a long time on research, but they can take the confidential content and put it into experiments at the grassroots level.
You want to keep it secret, but you also want to see actual results. It would be strange if people don't get confused.
The previous example of the Blue Army Camp being a mixed bag was a product of this environment.
The army needs to develop and national defense needs to be built. There is nothing wrong with this group of military experts in the academy being responsible for opening up new paths.
The problem is that we shouldn't take too big a step. It's not that easy to just pick an experimental unit and expect to succeed.
"You mean the experiment didn't work?"
This time it was not the vice-president who asked the question, but the oldest old man who sat opposite Chen Mo in the classroom.
"Commander, it's not that the experiment doesn't work." Chen Mo shook his head: "It's the wrong idea."
"Whether it's informatization, mechanization, or the old semi-mechanization or horse-drawn system, no matter what kind of organizational system it is, the fundamental reason has nothing to do with the equipment or the unit."
"It doesn't even have to do with the system. It's the soldiers who do it all."
"The source of troops is the foundation of everything. If we want to conduct large-scale experiments, the selected units must understand that they will be at the forefront and ride the wave in the future."
"We should accept experiments in our thinking, such as establishing a separate non-commissioned officer academy or a separate base to lay the foundation for new combat concepts."
"The purpose of doing this isn't simply to plan soldier careers, but also to lay the foundation for informationized warfare. Those who lead troops know this: recruiting is the foundation of everything."
"If everyone receives information technology training, even for just a few months, the effect will be much better than directly selecting units and conducting pilot projects."
"As long as the training is in place, we can always recruit a group of talents from the base or the newly built non-commissioned officer academy to form an informationized force."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he stood up again, stood at attention with a "click" and saluted!
But what he said.
But it shocked the old men opposite.
The cigarette in Zhang Jinnan's mouth fell onto his camouflage uniform, sparking sparks and making him panic like a monkey.
The concept of targeted training at the NCO Academy was still quite new in 1999.
But it has to be said that Chen Mo's proposal did touch the hearts of several old men.
More importantly, the advanced ideas of the new student Chen Mo were the fundamental reason that shocked the old men.
You should know that at this time, the Zhurihe Training Base was only expanded into the largest and most technologically advanced contract tactical training base in the entire army two years ago.
It is just getting started.
This expansion idea is exactly the same as the idea proposed by the new students in front of them, which is to establish a non-commissioned officer academy or a separate training base.
Zhurihe is located in a remote area and has just started large-scale construction. They believe that the young man in front of them has never heard of it.
This is even more terrifying.
Damn, I haven't heard of it. It agrees with the above idea, wanting Lu Academy to conduct a large-scale experiment and leap to a higher level again.
The idea is very bold, this person is indeed talented.
Zhang Jinnan stamped out the cigarette butt on the ground, quickly stood up and said, "Chen Mo."
"arrive!"
"I'll give you two weeks to write me a complete plan for this NCO Academy you mentioned."
Half a month?
Isn't this the deadline that the Kyoto Military District requires the armored units of the 38th and 63rd Armies to submit various exercise data from the past three years?
It's just a plan for a non-commissioned officer academy. Why would Chen Mo need so long? This thing is targeted training, not the real non-commissioned officer school in later generations.
Three days is enough!!
And he knows much more than those so-called confidential documents.
Now that he has read the document, there is no need to hide many things.
"Chief, give me a week and I will ensure the completion of the mission!"
In the end, Chen Mo didn't dare to brag too much. He stood at attention and accepted the military order.
"Okay, okay, okay, haha."
Zhang Jinnan laughed and patted Chen Mo on the shoulder: "Go, get ready."
"I'll give you a week. I want to see the report in this office after a week."
"Of course, I can exempt you from physical education classes this week, but I can't exempt you from academic subjects. I've looked at your file, and it seems you're not qualified to graduate from high school. You need to continue your studies."
"Go ahead."
"yes!!"
Chen Mo saluted again, then turned and left.
A new journey is about to begin, and Chen Mo can't suppress his excitement.
The sunshine in May is so hot that it is blinding.
The light shone on his epaulettes, which were also eye-catchingly red.
ps: There have been strong winds these two days, causing a power outage. The update is not very stable. I hope all readers will understand.
