Chapter 206: Joint Logistics Mechanism: Only those who survive are qualified to discuss victory or defeat
Inside the conference room.
Everyone in the logistics department was silent, standing at the back without saying a word.
With such a large military region and a force of tens of thousands of people, there will be more or less some complicated procedures in logistics, and it is basically impossible to completely streamline them.
Some things are not as simple as reducing costs.
What's more, as a state violence agency, the army itself does not pay attention to cost in many things.
But that's what I said.
If these issues are not brought to the surface, it means that they are serious and responsible, and are complicated but also well-organized.
But when it is put on the table, the logistical data becomes rigid, dogmatic and stereotyped, with no flexibility or adaptability.
Wang Songhe stood up awkwardly and stopped Chen Mo from saying anything else.
The other staff officers present looked at Chen Mo as if he were an alien.
Because except for Commander Wang, most people present knew that Chen Mo had just been transferred to the Logistics Statistics Department and had not yet started to truly learn there.
Just by using a set of data, the logistics department was almost broken apart.
This power is not low.
"This young man's way of thinking and understanding things is different from ours."
Chief of Staff Qin Quanan stood with his hands behind his back, unable to tell whether he was pleased or annoyed. "Comrade Chen Mo is right. Whether from a mathematical or support perspective, there are indeed undeniable problems with the logistics arrangements."
It’s over! !
I heard the Chief of Staff say this.
In the conference room, a group of staff officers, whose hairlines were obviously unable to hold the line, looked pale, pursed their lips, and remained silent for a long time.
The people in the logistics department are definitely not happy to be disciplined, but if Chen Mo's behavior today were to happen in the army's transportation battalion.
I'm afraid many cadres will applaud and cheer.
Because of a lot of dogmatism, it is pure nonsense for soldiers who really need to run errands and do transportation.
The reason why Chen Mo dared to say this in the conference room was simply because he wanted to reveal the difference between logistics and joint logistics mechanisms in advance.
He is not stupid.
Know what to say and what not to say, and the informationized battalion will sooner or later adopt a joint logistics supply mechanism.
Otherwise, in a battalion-level unit, the artillery will not care about the infantry, and the armored troops will not care about the mechanized infantry. They will each provide for their own needs, just like the current joint battalion. What's the point of that?
No problem for a short time.
But if the war really gets intense, the tank battalion will go to the logistics warehouse to get artillery shells, and would rather travel with empty trucks than give them to the artillery, and conflicts will break out sooner or later.
Of course, in many cases, it’s not the army’s fault, but the logistics people who just don’t buy into your tricks and just follow the rules.
Ten empty runs are also a rule.
The people from the 188th Division were not allowed to collect the supplies on behalf of the people from the 6th Armored Brigade. Chen Mo took this opportunity to expose the logistics problem.
It's just that what he says now doesn't count, otherwise, Chen Mo would carry out a complete reform of the current joint camp.
As I said, any reform and innovation is forced out.
It is never the case that something will gain widespread support just because someone discovers it or suggests it.
Take this information technology experiment as an example.
If Chen Mo had not set a three-month deadline, and if the Kyoto Military Region had not suddenly intervened, the training alone would probably have taken a year and a half.
At that time, we can slowly consider forming a team, conducting experiments, and operating a set of processes, which will take at least two to three years to lay the foundation.
Chen Mo doesn't have so much time to waste.
There was silence for a moment.
Chief of Staff Qin waved his hand and said, "Go, your Statistics Department should prepare a report based on the data from the past year and have it on my desk by tomorrow afternoon."
"I want to see the rectification plan within a week."
"yes!"
Dong Zhanwei, director of the Statistics Department, straightened his body and turned his head to look at the staff officers from his own unit behind him.
Everyone understood immediately, and with a look of compassion on their faces, they quickly left the meeting room and hurriedly went to prepare.
One year.
Damn, the data for just one month is huge enough, and the data for a year is massive.
The Statistics Department is responsible for the dispatch, distribution and transportation of materials for group army exercises.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the busiest unit in the entire military region at certain stages.
Even if this incident had not happened, when the joint battalion was going to the northwest to participate in military exercises, daily overtime work in the Statistics Department was normal. This is a unit that is either collecting data or on the way to collect data every day.
The staff is composed entirely of graduates from science and engineering, without a single liberal arts graduate.
Serious steel straight man department.
It’s a bit funny to say, but in many military regions, whether the Statistics Office of the Logistics Department can be selected as an advanced unit does not depend on its work performance.
Just look at the amount of hair to decide.
For example, for those with completely bald heads, this comrade is obviously an excellent statistical officer. He is hardworking and can be regarded as a role model for the department and a pioneer in the military region. We all need to learn from him.
The one with half baldness is at least a potential talent and is worth cultivating with all our strength. He can take on more responsibilities in the future and become an excellent statistical officer.
If the one is a little balder, then it is obvious that in this unit with a heavy workload and frequent overtime, there is obviously a serious lazy mentality. The department instructor must always urge this comrade to work hard and correct the irresponsible mentality of slacking off and taking things as they come.
In short, in this unit, if you have too much hair, you feel embarrassed to go out and say hello to people.
The result is now.
Chen Mo's few words triggered another round of high-intensity work in the entire Statistics Department.
It can be said that he was able to make at least a large area of baldness on the heads of the cadres in the entire department by his own efforts.
Let’s get back to the topic.
The turmoil at the Census and Statistics Department has not yet subsided.
It was time for dinner in the evening, and there was nothing good to serve in the base. Chief of Staff Qin and Vice President Zhang received Wang Songhe in the reception room.
As for the mobile joint camp, even if they didn’t eat lunch, they still have to eat dinner.
The mobile companies were ordered to rest for an hour and a half to eat.
As for Chen Mo, he didn't even have time to have dinner before Director Luo called him to his office.
Luo Yaowu walked into the room, sat down on the chair with his arms and legs stretched out, raised his head and glanced at Chen Mo with his fierce eyes, and without saying anything, asked him to find a place to sit.
Directly asked: "What do you think?"
"ah?!"
"People from the Jincheng Military Region are guests here, and you're trying so hard to reveal your logistics. I don't think you're stupid."
"Why can't you tell the difference between the two? Are you letting the 61st Division laugh at us?"
"Fuck you! We're from the academy, and we need the cooperation of the military district for military exercises. How could you do something as awful as stabbing me in the back?"
"I just transferred you to the Statistics Department for training, and the next moment you turned around, you took over the department and the whole thing. What's wrong with you going there and putting such a talented person like you in a difficult position?"
Luo Yaowu slapped the desk as he spoke.
His anger level was rising rapidly. Fortunately, he was no longer in the front-line troops. He was transferred to the school as the director of professional courses, and his temper had calmed down a bit.
Otherwise, he would just curse even more harshly.
"Do you know why I transferred you to logistics?"
After Luo Yaowu slammed the table, he stared at Chen Mo with burning eyes.
He is now very suspicious of this kid, who seems to have a problem of not being able to see the situation clearly.
"Report, I understand."
"Tell me when you know."
"yes!"
"If there's any department within the military region that can help an officer quickly understand the field army's combat system and the essence of modern warfare, it's the humble logistics department."
"The commander arranged for me to go there so that I could learn the logistics system step by step. As long as I master the transportation and dispatch of the main combat divisions of the military region, it would be like taking a shortcut to adapt to the most complex work of the information battalion in advance."
"The Logistics Department and the General Staff Department work together. The General Staff Department is the most important auxiliary combat department within the military, and its overall responsibility is to assist the commander in combat."
"The communication channels, command channels, and feedback channels between the headquarters and the main combat divisions must all go through the Logistics Coordination Center."
"Working in the Statistics Department is like interning in the two most important departments of the military region. It allows you to become a capable commander in the shortest possible time."
Chen Mo spoke with great confidence.
Luo Yaowu was somewhat surprised when he heard this. This was the purpose, but he did not expect that Chen Mo was a young man who was promoted based on his suggestions.
He was able to explain the relationship between the military region's logistics department and the general staff so clearly.
You know, although these things are common sense, they can only be accessed after reaching a certain level.
Ordinary battalion-level cadres may not be able to figure out the relationship between them.
After a moment of stunned silence, Luo Yaowu recovered from his anger. At this moment, Pei Shuajun came with two aluminum lunch boxes and placed the prepared dinner on the desk and the coffee table next to it.
I guess he felt that the atmosphere here was not right.
Just as Pei Shuaijun was about to open the door and leave, Luo Yaowu said, "Since you understand the importance of going to the logistics department, why did you perform such a show today?"
"How else are you going to get to the Statistics Department?"
Hearing the question, Pei Shuajun didn't leave. The dog leaned towards the door, ready to watch the fun.
"Report!"
Chen Mo stood at attention and said, "I can do the work of the Statistics Department. I'm willing to share the burden."
"Bullshit, that's a matter of sharing?"
Luo Yaowu glared at him. "Don't try to play Tai Chi for me. The Statistics Department won't let you go. Are you kidding me that they don't have enough staff to support them, or is my reputation really that effective?"
"Don't beat around the bush, you bastard, just pour out whatever you're thinking."
"yes!"
"Commander, I'd like to apply to go with the combat company. You can also go to the logistics company."
"reason."
Hearing Director Luo's agreement, Chen Mo hurriedly took out the report data that had been registered early in the morning from his arms, took a few quick steps, and placed the recorded registration form on the desk.
Luo Yaowu lowered his head and glanced a few times without saying anything.
Because the job reporting data that Chen Mo handed over was exactly the record he reported when he returned to the meeting room after meeting Wang Songhe.
This was the only record that Chen Mo participated in transcribing in real time, and Luo Yaowu also read it at that time.
"Commander, I think there are still some areas that can be adjusted during the joint training."
"I admit that mechanized warfare involves an objective power dynamic, and hiding troops can often have unexpected effects."
"But Commander, we only have a battalion of troops. On a large-scale battlefield, the loss of a battalion or even a regiment wouldn't cause any disturbances among the higher-ups."
"And our Tibetan soldiers can only deal with units of the same level. In this case, no matter how well we fight, it will be useless."
"Joint training should be conducted together. Judging from today's maneuvering, before the entire battalion dispersed, it only advanced 80 kilometers in three hours."
"After we separated, we covered 60 kilometers in two hours."
"Commander, if this capability were deployed on the battlefield, not to mention our battalion, even our entire division could easily be wiped out by an enemy regiment."
Chen Mo seemed to be talking big, but Luo Yaowu knew what he was talking about.
These are indeed the facts.
The Northwest battlefield is behind the military parade, and once the war breaks out, the intensity will definitely be very high.
After all, it is for the foreign countries to see.
The troops of the Type A division that arrive one after another will most likely not wait for the units behind them, but will adopt a blitzkrieg-scale approach in the battle zone to suppress the enemy units that arrive at the battlefield first.
in other words.
With the mobility of the joint battalion, they can’t even escape, let alone fight.
This is no joke.
Just as Chen Mo said, in an intense war, let alone a battalion, even a reorganized division would be too slow and would not have suitable terrain to deploy during the maneuver.
It is also easy to be defeated by a fully staffed tank regiment, which is normal.
The blitzkrieg, the father of armored warfare in the Hans country, was a mechanized warfare method that concentrated the use of armored forces and launched crazy tactical blitzks, reaching a level where the faster the tanks advanced, the faster the enemy would be destroyed.
And this kind of tactics.
Nowadays, the top domestic teachers have learned the technique so well that it can even be said that they have surpassed their teachers.
If no one from the Jincheng Military Region comes, the base can still comfort themselves that it is just an experimental unit and no one will pay attention to them.
But now.
The commander of the ace division has arrived. He didn't say why he came, nor did he mention the exercises. He just came to see the organizational changes.
The intention is already very clear. The 61st Division of the Jincheng Military Region will most likely be assigned to the same combat zone as the joint battalion, but it is not clear whether they are enemies or friends.
If it is an enemy.
With the current training method of the joint battalion, no matter how much training is done, if it encounters any regimental-level unit of the ace division, it will be defeated in one round.
What Chen Mo meant was that the only thing to consider in training now is how to survive, not how to win.
Only units that can survive on the battlefield are qualified to consider subsequent issues.
However, he didn't say it so harshly. He was a little more tactful when he mentioned it just now.
"So what do you mean?" Luo Yaowu said after pondering for a moment.
"Joint training, extreme joint training."
Chen Mo remained calm. "All companies no longer need to split up and maneuver. We've already seen their capabilities. In normal times, they're neither good nor bad, but on the battlefield, they won't even have the right to survive."
"Well, what you said makes some sense, but how does joint training relate to the logistics you just mentioned?"
Luo Yaowu pointed to the job reporting data on his desk. He really didn't understand Chen Mo's intention.
This guy talked a lot and finally suggested extreme joint training to adapt to the battlefield.
But these don’t seem to have much direct relationship with logistics.
I heard the leader ask the main question.
Chen Mo grinned and said, "Commander, you must know it even if I don't tell you."
"Commander Wang must have come here with some intention of understanding the information battalion. Now that the logistics bomb has been exposed, Commander Qin must handle this matter in front of Commander Wang."
"This way, Commander Wang won't have much energy to keep an eye on us."
"It is said that knowing both ourselves and the enemy ensures victory in every battle. If a whole division of the enemy is the enemy and they know everything about us, then we will be unable to fight."
“And logistics.”
Chen Mo said this, he took a few steps forward again, pointed at the data in the record and said: "Commander, the logistics of extreme joint training must be unified first, and a joint logistics mechanism must be adopted."
"Look here, the maneuvering operation lasted five hours, covering a total of 140 kilometers. Statistics show that tanks and armored vehicles need to refuel every hour and a half on average. This data is not normal."
"Including the rear, ordinary vehicles need to refuel every three hours, and special engineering vehicles need to refuel every two hours."
"It's impossible for a tank crew in mid-mobility to consume such a high amount of fuel. The only explanation is what we just said in the conference room."
"We are a joint battalion. Each company has its own logistics. They only take care of their own tanks. That's why the tanks have to refuel so frequently."
"After the entire battalion was separated, the battalion-level logistics were insufficient. The convoys had to run back and forth to transfer fuel to different units for replenishment. And every time the logistics transferred fuel, the entire convoy had to stop."
"The tanks stopped once to refuel, the artillery vehicles stopped once to refuel, and the armored vehicles stopped once to refuel. With this kind of operation, I don't even need to mention the huge losses along the way."
"The delay alone is enough to cause the entire battalion to lose one-third of its efficiency."
"This is just a maneuvering period. If it's wartime and everyone is still minding their own business, it will be a big problem."
"For extreme joint training, we must unify logistics and adopt a joint logistics mechanism."
"snort!"
Seeing Chen Mo speaking so confidently, Luo Yaowu finally understood Chen Mo's intention.
To put it bluntly, this guy is not willing to stay in the General Staff. He wants power and wants to go to the front line.
As a result, we have gone around in such a big circle.
After a cold snort, Luo Yaowu simply waved his hand and pointed to the calendar in the office.
"Extreme joint training is fine. Keep an eye on the time. Military exercises will begin in mid-August, so we only have a few days at most."
"Xiao Pei."
"arrive!"
"After dinner, take Chen Mo to the training ground. Bring your luggage and bedding. I already know how to proceed with the joint training."
"But logistics, Chen Mo, I'll leave it to you. If you can't show me some tricks, I'll skin you alive."
"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"
Chen Mo stood at attention, then turned around, picked up the lunch box on the coffee table, turned around and asked Pei Shuajun to leave.
Luo Yaowu stayed in the office with his arms folded across his chest, a cigarette in his mouth, and a deep look in his eyes.
He murmured the words "Joint Logistics".
In fact, as for the logistics department procedures that Chen Mo mentioned, senior military officers all knew about it, but no one usually exposed it because it was useless.
But the term "joint logistics" appeared.
Luo Yaowu was quite interested because Chen Mo had just explained it in great detail.
Joint logistics breaks down the boundaries between military services, unifies resource allocation, and is responsible for strategic-level material supply and distribution. It can focus more on resource integration and optimization, and improve support efficiency.
A mechanism specially prepared for war.
Unlike logistics, which have to take care of all kinds of miscellaneous matters, they will suffer in combat for various reasons.
"Interesting, this kid has some brains."
Luo Yaowu had a smile on his face, without any trace of the seriousness he had just shown, and his eyes were filled with admiration.
at the same time.
After Chen Mo left the meeting room, he called Wang Jianyong, who was staying in the camp from the reconnaissance company. The two packed up their things and hurriedly got into Pei Shuajun's car.
Rush to the training ground.
Because at this time, we are in the one and a half hour repair period.
No one expected that the joint camp would disperse and temporarily cut off contact with the conference room.
Just as Chen Mo proposed the joint logistics mechanism.
On a mountain road 90 kilometers away from the base, one of the 142 transport vehicles of the long-range rocket artillery company was divided into different directions due to the division.
There is a shortage of logistical manpower, and vehicles need to run back and forth to provide supplies. It may be because they are in a hurry or the drivers are too sleepy.
The transport truck driving on the mountain road suddenly overturned and rolled twice on the ground.
He plunged into the ditch next to him.
