Chapter 178: The candidate has been finalized. Which bastard is thinking about me again?
In the conference room, everyone was silent, weighing the feasibility of the speech just made.
"Knock knock knock" there were two knocks on the door, one heavy and two light.
Luo Yaowu, who was standing on the podium, heard the noise. He winked at the person at the door and arranged for someone to open the door.
Then he clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Comrades, this is everyone's first time here today."
"We've been in a meeting for quite a while, let's eat first. It's a good opportunity to discuss this while we're eating."
Luo Yaowu finished speaking.
The door of the conference room was opened, and the soldiers from the kitchen squad pushed in a row of food carts and started serving meals from the front row.
The standard is not high, two dishes and one soup, fried loofah with eggs and cumin lamb, plus a serving of seaweed egg drop soup.
For staple foods like rice and steamed buns that are not included in the food allowance, you can take as much as you can eat.
In the military, it is not uncommon to have a snack during a meeting, especially for units such as the General Staff and the Training Department.
If these people were more dedicated, they would be well-known workaholics in the military region. The old staff officers work like pandas all day long, so premature aging is no big deal for them.
no way.
Who let the General Staff and the Training Department take charge of the operations, training, assessment, and exercises of all units in the entire military region?
The pace is usually extremely busy.
Of course, this was also what Director Luo deliberately arranged for people to do.
The Army Academy is building a base here. No matter how nice the words are, the real intention is to ask the army for people. It is not enough to just play Tai Chi in the meeting.
Many times, we still need to take advantage of the meal to lighten the mood and have a good talk about work.
It’s much more efficient than having meetings all the time.
"Chen Mo, come, sit down and eat too."
Without waiting for Chen Mo to return to his seat, Luo Yaowu took the initiative to greet him and asked him to sit in the empty seat in the front row.
Anyway, the meaning is very clear.
Xiucai is from your 63rd Army. He has made his suggestions and the academy has followed them. Now it depends on the attitude of your various units.
Chen Mo himself didn't expect that he would be pushed to the forefront so quickly.
Perhaps from the perspective of the people behind, it is a great honor for a student like me to be able to sit in the front row and eat.
After all, at the same dinner table, sitting next to him was the director of the Army Academy's Strategic Campaign Department, and opposite him sat the Army Chief of Staff Qin Quan'an and the Director of the Training Department Li Guanduo.
It is a rare opportunity for a deputy army-level and two division-level cadres to have dinner with me.
But only Chen Mo himself knows the awkwardness.
Damn it, I can’t eat it.
The cumin lamb tasted like chewing wax in my mouth. I didn't know whether to lower my head or bend over to eat a mouthful of rice. It was so damn uncomfortable.
Liang Hongjie, who was sitting in the back, looked up from time to time and occasionally let out a barely audible sigh.
He felt that Xiucai seemed like a different person since he went to the college, and was doing quite well.
On the other hand, I am a top student who graduated from the Kyoto Armored Forces Academy. It is almost June now, and it will be almost a year since I joined the army.
Even if he is a platoon leader, he can't control a single soldier. Even if he is a clerk, no one takes him seriously.
I have a lot of ambitions, but I haven't made any progress.
He also wanted to be able to stand on the stage and speak freely like the scholar. With this resume, he wouldn't be kicked out of the company at the first attempt.
That's right.
When Liang Pai saw Chen Mo again, he felt a little inferior. He was ashamed and speechless, and he also began to doubt his abilities.
After all, even he doesn't understand what informatization is, let alone make any effective suggestions on informatization.
The conference room was silent for about three or four minutes.
Just as Chen Mo was as quiet as a quail, lowering his head to pick up food and eat.
Chief of Staff Qin coughed twice, put the steamed bun he had taken a few bites of on his plate, looked at Chen Mo and said, "I heard from Lao Tao that when you arrived at school, you started clamoring to build a non-commissioned officer academy."
"Is that true?"
"Yes." Chen Mo nodded affirmatively.
The leaders have put down their chopsticks and are ready to discuss.
Naturally, he couldn't eat heartily. After quickly swallowing the food in his mouth, he continued, "Commander, I think the establishment of both the NCO Academy and the NCO Training Base is of great significance."
"If nothing else, it's worth trying just to reduce the waste of administrative resources."
"We should learn from the recruitment systems of other militaries and provide career planning education to soldiers upon enlistment. After every three years of service, they can choose to participate in cross-disciplinary training. This will completely break the career limitations of the current non-commissioned officer group and will definitely benefit combat effectiveness."
"Um."
Qin Quanan smiled and did not deny it.
He was able to reach the position of chief of staff, so he must be quite capable. He understood this when Chen Mo pointed out at the conference that the core of the information experiment should be the non-commissioned officer group rather than a single unit.
The field army is not just one person, it is 2.2 million people, and the non-commissioned officer group is the primary factor in maintaining combat effectiveness and morale. Their stability can directly affect the entire army.
This problem has been discovered long ago.
Otherwise, the two recent military rank adjustments would not have been targeted at non-commissioned officers rather than officers.
However, there are too many aspects that need to be adjusted. Disarmament alone has taken several major military regions several years.
Even if it is career planning, we have to start with officers and then move on to non-commissioned officers, right?
In terms of the overall situation of informatization, the first thing to be solved is the academic qualifications of officers, the national defense student policy, the disarmament, the abolition and merger of military academies. In the next few months, we will make drastic changes.
Isn't that what it's all about?
After all, if the commander's cultural problems are not solved, many things will not be implemented in the future.
Unexpectedly, the officer's policy had not yet been fully implemented, but the non-commissioned officer was targeted so directly by the young man in front of him.
What a sharp eye.
Qin Quan'an stared at Chen Mo for a few seconds, then looked at Luo Yaowu who was standing next to him with a serious expression but remained silent. He felt a little helpless.
What about the "strengthening the military with science and technology" speech.
This old guy tried every possible means to get Chen Mo to the stage just to defeat him.
As the chief of staff, how could he shirk responsibility or reject a suggestion made by a younger person?
But the key is, there is no way to do it without refusing.
For the information experiment, the minimum requirement was originally set at one battalion, and all of the battalion had to be composed of excellent non-commissioned officers. This requirement would give even the chief of staff a headache.
Who would send all the good soldiers to the base and leave only a group of ordinary soldiers in the camp?
What? You can’t live like this anymore?
Looking at Chen Mo sitting in front of him with his back straight, and Luo Yao armed like a gentleman, he refused to say a word.
I just wanted to use the opportunity of eating to express my opinion.
Qin Quanan coughed lightly, then turned to look at Li Guanduo, the director of the training department.
Minister Li immediately understood that the chief of staff had encountered a difficult problem and needed him to step in and help.
He quickly said, "Chief of Staff, how about this? I think what Chen Mo said just now is quite valuable."
"I believe that as the person who proposed this, he must have more mature ideas and clear plans. I think we should second him to our training department for a period of time so that we can make a proper plan."
"This is a solution. We really need to be more cautious. We should second him. If necessary, we can also let Chen Mo hold a few seminars. Whether it is the direction of future experiments or the planning, we must study them seriously and slowly."
Upon hearing this, Qin Quanan nodded calmly, his performance being extremely realistic.
"Yes, just be more cautious."
Li Guanduo also had a serious expression. What they called "seriousness" and "slowness" were all just excuses for procrastination.
I really want to second Chen Mo over there.
I'm afraid that even after ten or eight years of research, no results will be found.
Because as long as they are on loan, they have no intention of paying them back.
There's nothing I can do.
It’s not that the military region doesn’t understand the general trend or development, but the problem is that it is in the midst of disarmament and people in all units are already in a panic.
You come to a base and ask for non-commissioned officers right away. In this case, how will the military district transfer them?
What do grassroots units think?
Will the General Staff Training Department still be able to function in the future?
Hearing such a clumsy excuse, Chen Mo pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.
This is why he was worried about being pushed to the front. If the training department really "borrowed" him, he would be finished.
Don't think there will be any further development. At most, you'll be given a lieutenant staff position after a while, but it's a sinecure. Maybe one day you'll be laid off and have to retire and go home.
Don't think this is an exaggeration.
Any reform and progress is forced, rather than a perfect match.
Not to mention that you are a genius. In this kind of trend, what is most lacking is geniuses who can jump up and down.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo has always wanted to stick closely to the Seventh Division. After all, he has a backer.
It’s not so easy to be abandoned if you have someone to back you up.
This is not.
Chief of Staff Qin and Minister Li were both engrossed in their performance.
Director Luo, who had been silent the whole time, smiled and waved his hand: "Old Qin, forget about the secondment."
"Chen Mo has just transferred from the Reconnaissance and Command Department to the Armored Communications Department. He hasn't even started a single day of class yet. We have to be responsible for this new comrade and he must stay here to attend classes."
"Old Li, your Training Department is one of the departments spearheading the reform. You should know how important the information technology experiment is. Don't play dumb with me."
Luo Yaowu directly brought up the topic.
This is also fortunate that he is now the director of the Army Academy. If it were when the old Seventh Division was still in power, he, as the chief of staff, would not be so easy to talk to.
He might not dare to slam the table in front of the army chief of staff, but as a deputy division commander, he would definitely dare to slam the table in front of the division-level cadres of the training department.
There is no way around it. Some divisions are just so rigid that they can't bend at all.
"I'm really not being careless."
Li Guanduo shook his head. He was eating, his eyes almost red. He said, "Lao Luo, you don't know how difficult it is to be in the training department right now."
"Is the training department difficult?" Luo Yaowu was stunned for a moment. He knew that many leaders in the army could act.
But I didn’t expect Li Guanduo to be such a good actor.
This guy, he didn't even say a few words, but his eye sockets were almost red, as if I owed him a battalion.
“It’s really difficult.”
Li Guanduo didn't care whether there was a young man sitting in front of him, because he didn't dare to agree.
This time when he comes to the base, if he gets the permission from me and cooperates with the base in the subsequent request for people, then when he returns to the military region, the commander and the political commissar will kill him.
What a prodigal! He lost hundreds of non-commissioned officers just by going out. He can't bear the blame.
He lowered his voice and said, "Lao Luo, we're already acquaintances. I won't beat around the bush. Haven't you all seen the data on the armored unit exercises over the past three years?"
"The Operations and Training Department is responsible for assessing the group army's military training. As an examiner, your job is difficult, as you know. Every time the exercise doesn't go well, a group of people have to leave."
"Because of this, in recent years, the various regiments have been secretly criticizing our training department, saying that our standards are harsh and that our evaluations are hindering the progress of other units. Lao Luo, to be honest, the level of our disapproval is almost worse than even the patrols."
"I can endure being scolded, but what are we fighting for? It's to live up to the national emblem and military emblem above our heads."
Li Guanduo was so moved by the conversation that he didn't even eat. He took out a few documents from the ones he carried with him and placed them in front of him.
"Look, the latest round of military reduction orders has come down. The 189th Division, Lao Zheng's unit, must have dozens of officers transferred to civilian jobs by the end of next month, and two battalions will be disbanded."
"7th Armored Brigade, this is your old unit, right? Also, at the end of next month, the entire Howitzer Battalion will be disbanded. I don't even know how to distribute the notice."
"Not only that, but we've been asked to downsize for the past three years, and subordinate units are complaining. Foreign armies already have mature models for mechanization, and they're telling us to cross the river by feeling the stones."
"But how do we touch this stone? The reform work requires a large number of capable, experienced, and qualified staff officers to assist, but where will good officers come from? The grassroots main combat groups are unwilling to provide them."
"This is the transfer order for the 189th Division at the beginning of the year. It's almost June now, and the people haven't been transferred yet. Old Zheng won't let them go."
"There's also a transfer order for the Seventh Brigade. It's been three months, and I haven't seen anyone there."
"The training department has a heavy mission, but also a heavy responsibility. Now you want a non-commissioned officer, where can I express my opinion to you?"
Li Guanduo was obviously well prepared. He cried so hard and even cried so hard with such rhythm and evidence.
Fortunately, Chen Mo knew the character of these people, otherwise, he would really think that this division-level cadre was living in such dire straits every day.
But then again, the training department is indeed quite difficult.
Among that group of staff, many of them have gray hair in their thirties. After all, their tasks are indeed heavy.
But it is certainly not as difficult as Minister Li described.
Chunchun is lying with his eyes open.
Zheng Lin, the commander of the 189th Division, was sitting not far away. When he heard the conversation, he turned his head and pretended not to hear it.
Feng Yunqian, the chief of staff of the 7th Armored Brigade, also lowered his head to pick up the dishes. He had picked up those two pieces of mutton more than ten times, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Director Luo opened his mouth, but was a little speechless.
He knew that it was difficult to recruit people at the base, so he held today's meeting under the pretext of arranging subsequent work, just to get the military district to express its position.
I didn't expect much progress.
But I never thought that even expressing my opinion would be so difficult.
The atmosphere was a bit tense. Chief of Staff Qin next to him was also eating seriously and no longer participated in the response.
Because he didn't dare to speak first and open this door.
During the disarmament period, equipment was replaced, organization was optimized, and changes were made based on the mature models of foreign armored units.
All carried out at the same time.
During this period, some companies were disbanded, some regiments were compressed, some divisions were demobilized as a whole, and some armies had their numbers cancelled.
There are also some Type B divisions that are assigned to the armed police across major branches to form mobile divisions.
Most units have sent away many glorious old troops, and now the training base wants to loan non-commissioned officers over.
Even if the military district does not shirk responsibility, it is true that people's hearts are unsettled.
Li Guanduo knew that the Army Academy also had good intentions. The military region had many problems that needed to be solved by the academy in the future, and many cadres would be sent to the Army Academy for study in the future.
When someone wants to recruit soldiers, it's better not to make things too awkward.
But he hesitated several times to speak out, as he really had no way to solve the problem.
The number of non-commissioned officers for a battalion was determined long ago, but it was too many and he didn't dare to make a decision.
Today's armored units generally have problems with equipment generation gaps and bloated old organization and command. If outstanding non-commissioned officers are sent out again.
The combat effectiveness of many units will be paralyzed.
Just imagine.
The Kuchi Reconnaissance Company is awesome.
If there were no Lao Pao, Liu Hai, these fifth-level non-commissioned officers and third-level non-commissioned officers, would he still be the third infiltration company of the past?
As the veterans are withdrawn, their energy and spirit will also dissipate. This is a terrible chain reaction.
No one wants to take the blame.
Although the new recruits are not liked by the veterans when they first enter the camp, in their eyes, those powerful veterans are the lifeblood of the entire company, their role models, and their benchmarks.
One day, when the veterans are gone, they will strive to replace their former role models and become new benchmarks.
But if the role models and benchmarks are removed from this unit from the very beginning, the unit will collapse.
This is the most basic survival basis for grassroots companies.
Without a doubt.
If everyone continues to remain silent, this conference with the theme of "Strengthening the Army with Science and Technology" will eventually come to nothing after the meal.
Because it can't continue.
The idea is good, but what if we can’t get people to come?
It's useless to rely on those first batch of mismatched ones.
Of course, the Lu Academy can report the situation to the Kyoto Military Region, or even to the ZYJW, and ask the higher-ups to issue an order requiring the military region to cooperate.
But does that work?
Many times, there are practical issues to consider.
It's not like a single project launched by your Army Academy can cause instability in the entire military region.
Knowing that his suggestion had hit a dead end, Chen Mo took a deep breath.
Know that it's your turn to play.
The reason why he notified the reconnaissance company early and asked Captain Cheng to notify the veterans in the company to be prepared was because Chen Mo guessed it.
Whether it is a training base or a non-commissioned officer academy, the first step will most likely be this.
The reconnaissance company is just right. Originally, senior non-commissioned officers accounted for 70% of its personnel. Now that all the new recruits have been laid off, the corporals in the company will soon be promoted to first-class non-commissioned officers.
By then, non-commissioned officers will account for 100%, and senior non-commissioned officers will still account for 70%. This is the most suitable unit for experiments.
Of course, it was also Chen Mo's own selfish desire. After all, he knew too well that after the entire company became a pilot, with him around, everyone's future development would not be bad.
"Chief!"
Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
This attracted the attention of Luo Yaowu, Qin Quanan, Li Guanduo, and even Zheng Lin, the commander of the 189th Division who was sitting in the distance.
"Just say whatever you want to say." Director Luo waved his hand and arranged for people to remove all the plates.
"Commander, I just heard about the difficulties faced by the training department. I know it's difficult to transfer personnel now."
"Then can we find an established unit and transfer all the people over directly?"
"An organized unit?" Luo Yaowu was stunned. "Previously, experiments were conducted using organized units."
"Don't you know the final result?"
"No, Commander. Please listen to me first." Chen Mo hurriedly shook his head: "I come from the Third Reconnaissance Company of the Seventh Armored Brigade."
"There are many veterans in the reconnaissance company, and the proportion of non-commissioned officers is very high. In addition, the reconnaissance soldiers usually conduct training in conjunction with other units."
"They are highly adaptable and quick learners. More importantly, they are physically fit and can complete training at all levels of intensity."
"As long as they receive some training, I believe that with their keen understanding of the frontline battlefield, they will be able to handle this experiment."
Reconnaissance Company 3
Luo Yaowu was from the old Seventh Division. He certainly knew that the Third Company of his unit was indeed a unit with strong cohesion and adaptability.
But, is this really possible?
"Please rest assured, Commander. I believe they can do it. Give me three months and I will be the staff officer for the entire company."
"Within three months, everyone will follow the specialized courses within the base. After three months, we will definitely be able to fight a large-scale information-based battle."
Chen Mo stood up directly, his posture as if he was issuing a military order.
Luo Yaowu's pupils shrank. To be honest, he was moved.
Because Chen Mo made the suggestion at the right time, it was obvious that the military district could not get anyone at the moment.
Subsequent development has reached a dead end, so it might be a good idea to first transfer an established company, which he is familiar with.
Chief of Staff Qin Quanan, who had remained silent the entire time, looked at Chen Mo's excited face and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.
I already understand that the young man in front of me has probably already made this plan.
People who come from the reconnaissance company never forget their company while conducting experiments, whether it is because of blind self-confidence or loyalty.
This kind of soldier is a good soldier after all.
"I think this suggestion is feasible. I also know the 3rd Reconnaissance Company of the 7th Brigade. Even the company's history is registered with the Political Department."
"Maybe give it a try."
"Well, I agree with Comrade Chen Mo's suggestion." Li Guanduo, director of the training department, nodded in approval.
In fact, as long as you don't ask him for people, but for a complete company like this, there will be no problem.
Not to mention one, even ten will do.
Because it is an organized transfer, there is no need for so much intrigue or crying poor and looking for people everywhere. A transfer order can be used to complete the transfer.
What's more, the suggestion was made by someone from your reconnaissance company, and the final decision was made by your former leader of the reconnaissance company.
The military district chief of staff had no objection, so why did his training department refuse?
It is really a happy occasion for everyone.
"Okay, then let's transfer the reconnaissance company first." Luo Yaowu nodded.
Chen Mo's suggestion was finally adopted.
In the front row of the conference room, a group of leaders looked at each other, and many of them breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the people attending the meeting this time include not only representatives from the General Staff and the Training Department, but also representatives from the military region, division and brigade levels.
What if the meeting fails and the Lu Academy asks their unit to send someone?
They don't have the strong confidence of the General Staff and the Training Department.
It would be best if this could be solved.
Chen Mo also breathed a sigh of relief.
The first step of his plan was finally accomplished.
And at this time.
In the Kuchi reconnaissance company, 200 kilometers away.
Company commander Cheng Dong was strolling around the camp with his hands behind his back. It was the end of the month again.
The brigade training department sent people to the company to record the assessment results.
Captain Cheng, who has always been strong-willed, would not allow the soldiers in his company to perform poorly.
Unexpectedly, he was strolling around, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and putting it in his mouth without even lighting it.
Suddenly my nose started to itch and I sneezed three times in a row.
Cheng Dong was so shocked that his head almost went blank. It felt like something suddenly fell from the sky.
"Bang", it was like something hit him on the head, making him dizzy.
Cheng Dong glared, looked up at the sky in annoyance, and cursed.
"Damn it, which bastard is thinking about me again?"
