Chapter 286: Captain, it’s time to change our system
A group of cadres were working hard to memorize the equipment manuals.
The voice was loud and clear, and he was quite positive.
Of course, Chen Mo was not idle either.
He sat at his desk in the artillery field, holding the Blue Army Camp training records, and kept his head down studying them.
In fact, in essence, there is not much difference between the original Blue Army Camp and the current Demonstration Camp.
All of these require computer management to be implemented as soon as possible. Professional staff will efficiently link the various teams based on the work content, assign tasks, and upload results.
From a broad perspective, they are all the same, with consistent requirements and desired results.
If I have to say what is different.
That was the original Blue Army Camp, which was relatively easier to lead.
That’s right!
It’s just easier to carry.
Because the core group of the Blue Army Battalion are all hard power, the ground assault team has Liu Hongyun and the veteran cadres of the Second Battalion to cooperate.
In the air, there was the cooperation of armed helicopter squadron leader Dong Kehao. In terms of information technology, Wang Jianbin brought a whole electronic warfare team including Xiangjian.
They are all very powerful.
With them around, and with the assistance of fixed units, many problems simply don't exist.
Chen Mo's responsibility is to provide his own ideas. No matter how much the old cadres understand, they can quickly transform their understanding into execution.
So as to launch corresponding firepower.
That kind of combination is similar to the main force temporarily organized in a regimental or divisional battle.
The cadres of the current demonstration camp cannot compare with the old cadres of the Blue Army Camp era. They are far behind in terms of prestige, experience, and execution.
Not to mention the tacit understanding between soldiers and cadres, it is not on the same level at all.
So, leading two battalions with the same mission.
Chen Mo's approach will have a different focus.
The Blue Army Battalion places more emphasis on intensive training, only making requirements, supervising the results, and putting pressure on company-level cadres.
The demonstration camp cannot be so complete. Chen Mo has to break down all the details and feed them bit by bit to ensure that the knowledge of information-based team operations is understood at the cadre level first.
Not only that, they must also be reminded at all times of the importance and urgency of building a camp.
otherwise!
This group of newly graduated cadres lacks experience and the ability to handle affairs. They don’t even have the experience of leading troops and don’t even know how to communicate with the grassroots.
Occasionally, when he looked up, his eyes were as clear as those of a six or seven-year-old child.
It would be too difficult to expect these people to learn and master the knowledge on their own.
The reason why Chen Mo sent them all to the grassroots level to serve as ordinary soldiers was to give them grassroots internship experience.
So that you can take up the post at any time.
Of course, having said that.
No matter how good the Blue Army Battalion is, it is still someone else's unit. No matter how powerful the battalion commander Chen Mo is, he cannot bring unity to the Blue Army Battalion.
It's okay to maintain the intensity for a short period of time, but if you continue to do it with the intensity of informatization for a long time, it will definitely collapse.
The upper limit will also be very low. The level of the Northwest Military Exercise has already reached the limit.
But the demonstration camp is different.
Chen Mo holds both the knife and the sweet date in his hands. Just because the cadres are not capable now does not mean they will be capable after training.
In addition, there are many veterans, so we can focus on the soldiers to drive the growth of the backbone.
In this case.
The upper limit of the demonstration camp will be very high. It can be said that as long as the battalion commander Chen Mo can exert his abilities, the demonstration camp will be able to keep up.
In a short period of time, the original Blue Army Camp was strong.
Over time, the demonstration camp will become stronger, and both personnel quality and equipment configuration will be able to crush the original blue camp.
The prerequisite is that you have to get through the most difficult stage.
Have the opportunity to grow.
In the past, Chen Mo didn’t need subordinates and soldiers who could think, he only needed tools who obeyed orders.
Now, the situation is completely opposite.
He really needs a group of growing cadres, they are his team.
"Three months, three months."
Chen Mo stared at the Blue Army Camp training records with a serious expression, and kept thinking about the plan in his mind.
If there were no such interference from above, they would not need to be so anxious and could just study and train step by step.
But now.
Time is tight, so we must change our thinking.
The size of the team must be regular, because this is the characteristic of the Kyoto Demonstration Camp.
Chen Mo had carefully analyzed the three months given by the higher-ups and believed that this time was not given randomly, and there must be a reason behind it.
It is now mid-September. Three months later, it will be the end of the year, 1999, and the preparation stage for the military region's annual military exercises.
For the past six months, the demonstration camp has been like an oversized vampire, sucking talents and new equipment from the Jincheng Military Region and the Kyoto Military Region, all concentrating here.
At that time, will the leaders above choose to transfer the Kyoto Demonstration Camp directly to the southwestern prairie?
I'm afraid not.
At least we should see how the demonstration battalion performs in the annual military exercises, right?
Only if you perform well will you be eligible for transfer. If you don’t perform well, then it will be the same as what the leader said.
The path of informatization plus synthesis is wrong.
Chen Mo didn't sleep all night last night.
Not only was he thinking about how to train, he was also trying to figure out what the leader meant by what he said.
Because no conclusion can appear for no reason.
Building a camp is not a matter of one day, and even if the road is wrong, it cannot be determined overnight.
The head of the General Armament Department reminded himself both explicitly and implicitly not to jump out and cause trouble again, judging from Chen Mo's keenness as a former confidential secretary.
There is only one explanation.
There are differences of opinion regarding information construction.
There are differences of opinion and even conflicts between those who support their own system and those who support other systems.
This is not a conspiracy theory, but a real realism, because informatization has multiple experimental routes.
Main combat is only one of them. There is also auxiliary combat, as well as non-main combat like signal arrows, which can provide information to multiple units, carry out small-scale sabotage when necessary, etc.
These are all paths of information development.
Chief of Staff Qin once said that after the military parade, the Jincheng Military Region Demonstration Camp will officially enter the construction process.
Napu Guoqing said that the demonstration camp was not led well, which proved that this path was wrong, which can explain it.
If Chen Mo's guess is correct.
The Jincheng Military Region Demonstration Camp will inevitably take the path of auxiliary warfare and be supported by another group of people.
Rather than saying that it was built in three months, it would be more accurate to say that three months later, the annual military exercise field would be a confrontation between the Kyoto Demonstration Camp and the Jincheng Demonstration Camp.
We will have a conclusion at that time as to who performs better and who is more suitable for development.
This is also the reason why Chen Mo suddenly ordered the entire battalion to unite and devote themselves to the work this morning.
These people are really at a critical moment of life and death.
But this kind of words.
Chen Mo would not tell anyone below him, to avoid causing unnecessary anxiety, not even to the instructor.
Whoever can see it, that's his ability.
Sharing a common hatred for a common enemy is effective for old units, but for demonstration camps, giving them numbers and the temptation or pressure of disbanding is greater and more effective.
Creating an enemy out of nothing sounds too much like a conspiracy theory and is not suitable for the morale of the army.
Therefore, when Chen Mo was studying shortcuts suitable for the development of the demonstration camp within three months, he could not give up the size of the team, which was their characteristic and advantage.
His idea was finally to focus on forging an efficient, flexible and mobile mode with the Type 98 main battle tank as the core and the squad as the main combat module.
The large number of cadres is the advantage of the demonstration camp.
If it is difficult to lead a squad, then more command departments should be set up. For example, in addition to the staff units under the battalion-level joint command, there should also be support units, air-ground integrated units, administrative units, etc.
Borrowing the segmented management from the Blue Army Camp era, each unit performs its duties, with the battalion commander as the leader, the chief of staff taking charge of the overall situation, and the electronic countermeasures team coordinating all command posts.
Strive to bring the entire demonstration camp together.
Let the strength of the entire camp grow stronger again.
Of course, the need to fill the staffing gap in a short period of time makes this plan not so easy to implement.
It can even be said that the situation is quite serious.
Three months of preparation for the annual military exercises. This is just the beginning of next year for their Kyoto Demonstration Camp.
Once they win and are able to go to the southwest, I'm afraid they will be greeted by more than just the Jincheng Demonstration Camp.
If you calculate it this way.
During the three-month training, no details can be missed. If there is any omission, the combat effectiveness may decline or even be reversed.
The principle is very simple, that is, highly coordinated information warfare places too high demands on internal small combat units.
But three months is too short.
After making the plan, Chen Mo rubbed his temples, stood up with his hands behind his back, and walked around the group of cadres.
"Comrades, please be quiet for a moment."
When Chen Mo spoke, the cadres who were holding the instruction manuals and memorizing the obscure data all breathed a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of the battalion commander.
"I'll just say a few words."
"The manual must be memorized. No one should be lazy. The General Staff has already formulated the content of the end-of-month assessment. It will all be written exams, and everyone must take them."
"When the results come out, I'll look at them one by one."
"Anyone who fails to meet the requirements, then be prepared and report to the logistics and cooking platoon. I'm not kidding you."
After hearing this, everyone who had just breathed a sigh of relief became nervous again.
Damn it, it would be so unfortunate for a cadre to end up in the kitchen platoon.
However, among those who were reading the instructions, there was one person who disagreed, and that was the head cook Zong Shengli.
He was a non-commissioned officer, not a cadre, but his name was already on the list for promotion. Because he came from a logistics background and had stayed in a logistics unit for a long time, Liang Hongjie pulled him over.
Chen Mo didn't notice the expression on Zong Laobing's face. He just said to himself: "Don't think these things are useless. Our battalion's training tasks will be very heavy in the future."
"I'm not sure about the capabilities of some of you comrades, and you may not know them either. Only practice can produce results. If you don't understand the equipment, I'd like to transfer you to another position. Can you handle this responsibility?"
"And more." Chen Mo pulled a chair and sat in the front row. "The third phase of mechanization reform has begun. Radar units and drone brigades are being deployed in every military region."
"Next year will be a year of radical change in tactics. The era of mechanization is changing, and we must not fall behind in building a strong information-based military."
"Integration of joint operations across the entire airspace, utilization of military weather, and deployment and testing of radar, drones, and other equipment."
“Every step we take compresses the meaning of our existence.”
"Each one of them affects the whole body."
"I just did a rough calculation. Our battalion's subsequent tactical training will involve 13 combat units and multiple types of technical weapons."
"There is no doubt that the training will face severe challenges."
"Everyone, get ready."
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he did not deliberately ask who understood or who did not.
Because there's no need to ask.
Next, the process of eliminating cadres, eliminating soldiers, and eliminating everything will be accelerated.
If there is no cognition, or the speed of cognition is too slow, then there is nothing that can be done and no one can help.
Chen Mo is just the battalion commander, not a parent.
It is impossible for him to supervise everyone's growth at all times.
only.
Just as Chen Mo finished speaking and was about to leave, the other cadres continued to recite the instructions, but the chief of the cooking platoon, Zong Shengli, stood up and trotted over to Chen Mo.
Stand at attention, salute, and say loudly: "Hello, Battalion Commander!"
"Oh, Lao Zong, what's the matter?" Chen Mo heard the noise, took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed one to Zong Shengli, and smiled.
Regardless of whether Lao Zong is promoted or not, as long as he still holds the rank of non-commissioned officer, he is a soldier.
Chen Mo's attitude towards soldiers was always friendly, but as for cadres, he would either beat them or scold them.
There are rarely good faces.
Zong Shengli took the cigarette and scratched his head with a somewhat innocent look on his face. "Captain, can we change the rules?"
"What rules?" Chen Mo was stunned.
"Just don't stuff all the idiots into the kitchen platoon. Our kitchen platoon is only made up of thirty people, and now there are forty-five."
Zong Shengli's face was filled with indignation: "If there were only one or two idiots, it would be fine, but now there are more than a dozen."
As he spoke, Lao Zong counted on his fingers and reported: "Ever since you, Battalion Commander, said that the stupid soldiers were going to peel potatoes, Captain Xu of the Mechanized Infantry, Captain Qin of the Tank Platoon, even Captain Man of the Supply Platoon, and Captain Liang of our Logistics Platoon, have all targeted our Cooking Platoon."
"If it gets blocked again, I really won't be able to do this anymore."
"hiss!"
Hearing this kind of unusual complaint, even though Chen Mo was knowledgeable, he was still a little confused.
Damn it, he does often say in meetings that whoever is stupid or fails the assessment will lose his job in logistics, but the assessment hasn't even started yet.
None of it has been implemented yet.
"Lao Zong, this isn't the attitude a veteran should have," Chen Mo said patiently. "As a veteran, especially since you're Captain Liang, actively recommending progressive veterans for promotion, how can you just walk away from this responsibility?"
"Where's the awakening?"
"If you don't do it, our entire camp won't cook."
"Also, I don't agree with what you said. Soldiers are all the same. How can there be a smart or dumb relationship? Whether or not to lead them out, isn't that your responsibility as the platoon leader?"
Chen Mo's profound teachings weighed down on me.
Zong Shengli, a man in his late twenties, was so shocked by what he said that his face turned red and his eyes were filled with despair and tears.
He stood there for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Finally, Lao Zong was helpless. He reached out and grabbed Chen Mo's wrist and said angrily: "Battalion Commander, please stop. You should talk about these big principles with the cadres of the combat company."
"None of the officers brought anyone out, but you shoved all the idiots into my hands. Why should a non-commissioned officer be the one to lead them?"
"If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see it now."
Zong Shengli's voice was filled with tears, which not only aroused Chen Mo's curiosity.
Even the people who were reciting the instructions became curious, and a group of people followed behind and walked towards the back door of the cafeteria.
Came to where the kitchen was busy.
Zong Shengli shouted to the group of people washing vegetables: "Gao Zhuangzhuang!"
“Hey!”
Not long after, a limping corporal appeared, wiping his hands on his apron and saluted formally: "Hello, Platoon Leader, did you call me?"
"Um!"
Zong Shengli nodded and said, "The platoon leader's cigarettes are on the bunk. The battalion commander is here to inspect our work. I want to ask him to have a cigarette. Go get it for me."
Gao Zhuangzhuang obeyed the order and turned around to get a cigarette.
Chen Mo observed everything from beginning to end, a smile on his face: "Isn't this great? What a good soldier!"
"Old Master, you are a little unsatisfied."
Zong Shengli looked haggard and said weakly, "Captain, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Wait a moment."
Two minutes later.
Gao Zhuangzhuang appeared running and handed over the box with only two cigarettes left in it: "Platoon leader, here are some cigarettes."
Zong Shengli didn't reach out to take it, but said expressionlessly, "Zhuangzhuang, I want to ask the battalion commander to have a cigarette. Where are the matches?"
"What? Matches?" Gao Zhuangzhuang was a little shocked: "I remember they were on the bed, next to the cigarettes."
"Yeah, then why not take it?" Veteran Zong said kindly, "Besides, the battalion commander is here, and there are so many officers following him. I have tons of cigarettes on my bed, right? Why did you take this one with only two left?"
"Oh, oh, platoon leader, you didn't tell me just now. I'll go get it now."
Gao Zhuangzhuang's face was full of regret, and he turned around and ran towards the dormitory again.
Until people walk away.
Zong Shengli then looked at Chen Mo: "Captain, did you see it?"
"There are more than a dozen people like Zhuangzhuang in our kitchen platoon. The original staff was thirty people, but they crammed fifteen more into my platoon, and even took away a few of my smart ones."
"Our battalion needs to eat. I can't have soldiers who can only scrape potatoes. I need soldiers who can wash vegetables, cook, and tell the difference between salt and soy sauce."
The accusing voice of veteran Zong was like the cry of a cuckoo, desperate and suppressed.
Chen Mo smacked his lips. He felt very sympathetic towards Lao Zong.
I never expected that a statement that was not a joke during a meeting would bring such great pressure to the logistics department.
It is not scary if there is one stupid soldier in the whole platoon, but it is scary if all the soldiers in the platoon are of this type. The demonstration camp will run out of food soon.
I can't even eat.
"Well." Chen Mo raised his hand and scratched his nose. It was mainly because it was so damn embarrassing.
He didn't expect that things would develop to this point.
"I will criticize them later and try to transfer those who cannot keep up with the training to the ammunition depot or artillery range for duty."
"You have to work hard during this period."
"Yes, Captain, I will try my best to adapt."
Zong Shengli raised his hand and saluted. He felt much better because the battalion commander was able to solve the problem for him.
The problems of the kitchen platoon are over.
Chen Mo turned around and saw the person reciting the manual still standing nearby. He immediately waved his hand impatiently: "Get lost, do you enjoy watching the fun so much?"
"I'm telling you, if you fail the assessment, you won't even have a spot to scrape potatoes. All of you will have to guard the ammunition depot and patrol the artillery field. As long as you don't mind being embarrassed, I don't care."
This scolding.
The onlookers were completely shocked by the scolding and quickly dispersed.
Damn, there are no spots left even for scraping potatoes. Just listen to this, it’s so scary.
Even this, they didn't even look down on it before, but now they can't even get a number.
Chen Mo ignored these cadres. Now that he had an idea of the general direction, all that remained was implementation.
When we arrived at the East Campus, Wang Jianbin was setting up an information command room. More than a dozen people from the electronic warfare team concentrated all the computers of the battalion here.
While connecting to the vehicle and artillery range equipment, test the digital connection.
Chen Mo didn't understand any of this, he just stood there and watched for a while, showing some concern, then walked up to Wang Jianbin and offered him a cigarette.
"Old Wang, do you know anyone in the Jincheng Military Region?"
"Jincheng?" Wang Jianbin looked up and thought for a moment. "Yes, we do, but we're not close. We've only sat together and exchanged technical ideas."
"From the 184th Regiment in Qinglong Gorge, a member of the electronic warfare unit of the special forces brigade."
"That's enough." Chen Mo nodded. "If you can get in touch with him, please contact him more often. After the National Day parade, the Jincheng Military Region will also establish a demonstration camp. I'd like to know how they'll build it."
Wang Jianbin was one of the core cadres of the demonstration camp, so he naturally knew about the three-month period given by the higher-ups.
As a person who came from Xiangjian, especially when he was in the special brigade which was also an information unit, Lao Wang quickly understood what Chen Mo meant.
"Xiucai, are you saying that the commander's sudden provision of equipment and personnel is related to the establishment of the Jincheng Demonstration Camp?"
"It's hard to say."
Chen Mo shook his head: "But let's prepare for a rainy day. The annual military exercises will be held in three months. Setting up auxiliary combat units will be much easier than ours. Two months or so will be enough."
"It's not explicitly stated, and there may be other considerations. We can't make conclusions based on speculation. We should do our best first."
After listening to this, Wang Jianbin simply ignored what Chen Mo said next.
There is nothing to say about this. In the past seven or eight years, it has changed many times due to experiments with new systems. It is normal.
After all, the experiment of a new system is not only judged by its success, but also by whether it is suitable for its own development prospects.
We must put the overall situation first.
"Well, scholar, what are you going to do? Three months is barely enough time to fart."
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
Chen Mo smiled and tried to appear relaxed: "Right now, the rest of the battalion is fine. We're just missing the artillery company, rocket battery, and air defense company."
"You go ahead and do your work. I'll go talk to Lao Zhao and the others to discuss the details and see how these three companies can be run."
"It's not a good idea to keep sending new people to the reconnaissance company. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so we have to give it a try, right?"
Chen Mo waved his hand and strode away.
Wang Jianbin stared at Xiucai's back for a while, then turned around and continued to work.
Three months, no matter what the result is, we have to give it a try.
What he can do now is to help Xiucai to make 90% of the tanks in the entire battalion connected to the Internet, and to realize informatization from the equipment aspect first.
As for how to lead the team, how to train cadres, and how to carry out training.
That's not something he, a technician, should worry about.
