Chapter 245: Finalizing the Structure, Comrade Heping Reports
The strongest advisory team is the architectural idea that Chen Mo suddenly thought of when he was caught in the rain.
Considering the current situation of the entire battalion, the number of officers is not much less than that of soldiers.
There were more than 40 graduates from several other military academies in Shicheng who were transferred to the base from the Lu Academy alone.
Including the commander and deputy commander of the reconnaissance company, the instructor, and the platoon leader, there are about 60 cadres in the entire battalion of 150 people.
We can only set up a command center first.
While the soldiers of the reconnaissance company were going to training, Chen Mo arranged for a lieutenant from the Army Academy to gather all the cadres in the conference room.
He went back to the dormitory, changed into clean clothes, and waited until he came to the meeting room again.
Qin Xiaojun, Liu Min, Xu Zhanqi and other cadres who graduated from armored, military medical, land command and staff units were all present.
Cheng Dong, Huo Linshan, Hou Zhanye, Wang Yanjun and other cadres of the reconnaissance company also arrived in place.
Even Wang Songhe, who came to study, moved a chair and sat a little further away from the conference table after hearing the news, with a notebook in his hand, just like someone from the education department going to the classroom to listen to the class teacher's lecture.
At this moment.
Only then did Chen Mo truly realize how difficult it was to set up a camp.
Before, it was all based on imagination and I had no personal experience, but now dozens of cadres were looking over at me, waiting to be assigned work.
This guy, the pressure came up all of a sudden.
Chen Mo raised his hand to rub his forehead, then sat at the front of the conference table and waved his hand, saying, "Comrades, I believe everyone has heard about the camp building."
"Let me make it short. The Blue Battalion has been disbanded. We will then be tasked with organizing the entire battalion. I will submit the plan to the military district as soon as possible. When the time comes, the specific positions each comrade will assume will be detailed in the plan."
"For the next two days, I'll focus on familiarizing myself with the situation and arranging work."
As he spoke, Chen Mo glanced at Pei Shuajun. This guy was an assistant to Director Luo of the Lu Academy. He was sent here temporarily and would definitely not stay in the residence for long.
Chen Mo thought for a moment and continued, "There will definitely be many difficulties in establishing a new camp, but fortunately the Non-commissioned Officer Academy has already been established."
"We will train more backbones for us in the near future. Captain Pei, please tell us about the plans for the Non-commissioned Officer Academy."
"OK!"
Pei Shuaijun puffed out his chest and said, "As for the initial establishment of the academy, it's quite simple this time. The military district has already designated the Taishan Training Base as the original site of the Non-commissioned Officer Academy."
"The result of the discussion above is that the Non-commissioned Officer Academy will not select any garrisons for the next three years. Based on the recent arrangements made by the military region and higher-ups, we will conduct inspections and keep records."
"The base is being converted into an academy. Twenty-one areas need to be rectified, and the actual rectification content is estimated to be over forty. We will soon request professional engineers from the Barracks Department to conduct an inspection. Only after the inspection can we reach a definitive conclusion. The barracks renovation and construction is expected to take two weeks."
"The re-establishment of the new barracks' infrastructure, including water, electricity, gas, and military network, is expected to take three days."
"Basic teaching audio-visual equipment, teaching instruments and supplies, daily necessities, and training supplies are expected to arrive in a week."
"The academy has requested the transfer of 26 types of equipment from the group army, including various types of firearms, light howitzers, individual rockets, individual missiles, Type 96 main battle tanks, armored infantry fighting vehicles, military computers, off-road vehicles, troop carriers, etc., totaling 1,246 pieces of technical weapons and vehicles. The delivery is expected to take two weeks."
Pei Shuajun is truly worthy of being Director Luo's assistant. He doesn't even need to check the material list for any data.
You can recite it easily just by tilting your head back.
The supplies requested by the Non-commissioned Officer Academy were actually requests for the Informationized Battalion, because the two are one and the same. This was a pioneering effort by the academy.
But after listening to this, Chen Mo frowned tightly.
"How many students are expected to be admitted into the first batch of students?"
"Five hundred people."
“How long is the training period?”
“The initial plan is six months.”
"Six months." Chen Mo shook his head. "Six months, let's not talk about the length of time. Just training the entire battalion of soldiers will take a year."
"Two batches of 1,000 people. It's hard to say whether the second batch can recruit 500 people. We can't eat and drink for free for a year while waiting for the academy to train us."
"Also, why aren't drones, radar vehicles, and high-frequency communication vehicles included in the 26 categories?"
Hearing this, Pei Shuajun spread his hands helplessly.
"The kind you're talking about is only available in special forces units. We don't have any information technology equipment in our military district's combat readiness storage."
Now comes the really hard part.
Chen Mo sighed. Even if he became a pilot unit in the army, the focus of the entire military region, he would not have too many privileges.
For example, the Blue Army Camp before said that they would provide people and equipment, but the problem is that most of the people who said these things were not directly in charge.
The leader has neither soldiers nor equipment directly under his command. If he needs people, equipment, or supplies, he still needs to apply to the corresponding unit.
At most, the demonstration camp will not hold you back, but it does not guarantee that you will be paid as much as you ask for.
After all, a large military region has thousands of units, and everyone needs to develop.
Now it is almost September, and in three months it will be the end of the year, but the group army's equipment deployment plan does not include the non-commissioned officer academy at all.
War preparedness reserves are prepared for sudden large-scale war consumption. Resources must not be occupied during non-wartime.
The Non-commissioned Officers Academy allowed the mobilization of sealed equipment, which was already the biggest loophole opened by the higher authorities.
But the problem is that it is useless to open this loophole, because the information battalion is not lacking conventional equipment at all.
Chen Mo scratched his head, grabbed the cigarettes that someone had placed on the table, and distributed them to the people closest to him.
He said, "That means the school's construction this year is wrong, which means we're completely broke. For a long time to come, we'll have to put on a brave face and put on a good front in front of the main divisions, including the Military Reconnaissance Battalion. We'll use both emotional and logical persuasion to convince them that we can all make progress together, strive for a moderately prosperous society, and coordinate the use of some special equipment to get by."
"That's what the college leaders said too." Pei Shuajun nodded awkwardly.
There was nothing he could do about this kind of thing.
And what Chen Mo said was the best situation. After all, no matter how important the information battalion was, it was still the responsibility of the higher-ups.
The highest-ranking officer in the entire battalion is only a major. If someone of this rank were to go to the main combat division to discuss equipment transfers, I'm afraid they wouldn't recognize him.
People only care about their own development, who cares whether you are particularly important?
Chen Mo raised his hand and tapped the conference table. He had already realized that the equipment problem was not the most serious one. The most serious one should be the people.
The Non-commissioned Officer Academy has so many types of equipment, and accordingly, it requires a group of twenty-six technical experts to be responsible for teaching.
To cultivate compound talents, common subject training is the foundation, taking the infantry-tank coordination subject as an example.
Even with the most optimistic estimates, in the future at least a tank company will be needed to undertake the training and combat training of non-commissioned officers in the group army after they arrive at the school.
Since it is a tank demonstration and teaching company, the tank crew members must have extremely high combat skills.
The armored troops are the pride of the army's main divisions. To put it bluntly, it would cost too much to train a similar synthetic tank crew with the scale of the academy.
Can it be supported by the existing teaching system?
See Chen Mo doesn't say anything.
Pei Shuajun thought that Xiucai was stumped by the issue of equipment sharing.
He chuckled dryly and said, "Chen Ying, don't worry. Let's take it one step at a time. There are always more solutions than problems. From the academy, the political work, school affairs, logistics support, and other personnel will be arriving in succession within a week."
"Within half a month, we will basically complete the establishment of the administrative system, and then strive to complete the instructor system within 20 days."
"The Information Battalion and the Non-commissioned Officer Academy are one and the same. You are the battalion commander here, and you are also in charge of academic affairs at the academy."
"Our most important task now is to build the framework first."
"Yeah, I know."
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Actually, if we summarize the current problems, they are nothing more than the scarcity of communication and information equipment, and the lack of excellent teaching staff."
"I'll figure this out."
"What do you have in mind?" Cheng Dong asked casually.
Not only Captain Cheng, but all the cadres in the conference room looked at the new battalion commander in confusion.
Including Wang Songhe.
To put it bluntly, who can come up with a good solution to this current problem?
Yes, the commander-in-chief of the Kyoto Military Region said that he could provide full support, but the problem is, can a battalion contact the military region headquarters?
The military parade is about to begin, and even the troops in the northwest will have to be temporarily stationed at the training ground. The military exercises in southern Guangdong will soon begin. At this critical juncture, who has the time to deal with the issue of setting up a camp?
Chen Mo ignored everyone's gazes and looked directly at Qin Xiaojun, the outstanding senior from the Armored Academy who had been tricked by him during the mid-year assessment of the Army Academy.
"Captain Qin."
"arrive!"
"As for the battalion establishment, I plan to have you lead the tank company as company commander. You've been studying with the Blue Army Battalion for quite some time now. Is that a problem?"
"No, no problem."
Qin Xiaojun stood up and hesitated for a moment before responding loudly.
"Well, I'll be inviting Liu Hong, the operations chief of the Second Battalion, to the base for some training soon. You should seize the opportunity and learn from him."
"yes."
"Well, sit down."
Chen Mo waved his hand. Previously, in the northwest battlefield, Captain Liu served as the leader of the ground assault team, leading several ground armored teams. With just a few walkie-talkies, he could bring the teams together.
At that time, Chen Mo was attracted by this kind of talent.
"Xu Zhanqi."
"arrive!"
"You will be the company commander of the armored infantry company. Like Captain Qin, you will go to the academy in a few days to study with Captain Liu."
"I don't care what you do, but you must shoulder the responsibility of being a company commander. If you don't know how to be a company commander, please consult Captain Cheng. As for the political cadres of each company, including our instructors, the military district will make the appropriate arrangements later."
"But for the next platoon leaders, you will select yourselves from among the cadres present. Then give me the list."
"yes!"
"Cheng Dong."
"arrive!"
"You will still serve as the commander of the reconnaissance company and concurrently as the chief of staff of the information battalion, which is equivalent to a battalion chief of staff."
"yes!"
"Liu Min."
"arrive!"
"You will still be in charge of the medical team. Stay in the camp for the next few days. Once the trainees from the academy are recruited, take the entire team to the academy to follow the tank and armored infantry companies to familiarize yourself with the coordinated operation of the vehicles. We want to prevent any more female comrades from delaying their training due to timidity."
"yes!"
"Liang Hongjie."
"arrive!"
"The Logistics Company is still in your hands. We don't have anyone at the moment. It's up to you where you want to go. If you want to go to the 7th Brigade Logistics, then ask Chief of Staff Cheng to arrange it. If you want to go somewhere else, you can contact me and I will help you apply."
"yes!"
"Remember one thing. Based on the current organization, I plan to divide the newly formed information battalion into one battalion and nine companies."
"It has an armored infantry company, a tank company, a reconnaissance company, a howitzer company, a long-range rocket artillery company, an air defense company, a logistics company, an engineering company, and a medical unit."
"Whether additional helicopter companies will be deployed in the future, I will request this in the planning, but I am not sure whether the military district will grant it."
"The 9th Company of the 1st Battalion is a provisional organization. After the entire battalion takes command, a battalion-level staff group will be gradually established. Once the personnel are complete, all training plans and combat orders will be centrally allocated and formulated by the staff group."
"Comrades, right now, the howitzer company, the rocket artillery company, the anti-aircraft company, and the engineering company are all vacant. It can be said that there are no people at all."
"I don't plan to borrow anyone from other units. If anyone among you wants to be the commander of these companies, then go and learn and strive for it based on your abilities."
"Everything that needs to be rebuilt is an opportunity for everyone."
"Is that clear?"
"clear!!"
The atmosphere in the conference room, which had just been gloomy, was stirred up by Chen Mo's appointment.
"Alright, I'll apply to the military district for the specific plan. You guys just wait for the news."
"But remember, you can't fall behind in training. You will all be the team leaders in the future. I don't want to see anyone gasping for air after walking three steps or resting after running five. Opportunities belong to you. I am the best example."
"Meeting adjourned!"
Chen Mo waved his hand to disband the meeting.
The cadres at the scene stood up and left one after another.
This scene.
Wang Songhe was stunned by what he saw. To be honest, he couldn't understand it. He had a lot of problems and basically no way to solve them.
How did Chen Mo have the courage to directly appoint people and assign positions in the meeting?
These cadres are really stupid. Currently, many companies in the demonstration camp don’t even have a single soldier. Even so, they can still disperse the meeting and leave with excitement on their faces?
In the late 1990s, there was no such thing as "painting the pie in the sky", and Commander Wang didn't know what this behavior was called.
But he felt that if he were in the same situation, he really couldn't do such a shameless thing as Xiucai's.
Does it mean that an informationized camp really requires shameless people to lead it?
Seeing Chen Mo sitting motionless at the conference table, Wang Songhe stood up and dragged his chair in front of Xiucai, saying, "Captain Chen, aren't you being too hasty in setting up your camp?"
"What do you mean by hasty?" Chen Mo's train of thought was interrupted and he turned his head with a confused look on his face.
"How do you solve the equipment and personnel problems?"
"Are you planning to discuss sharing with other main divisions in the military region, or apply to the military region?"
"Also, you have nine companies in a battalion. Even if there's a staff, can you lead it?"
"I don't even have this many types of troops in one division."
"Training, with the capabilities of the Shicheng Lu Academy, it is difficult to cultivate a combat force of this scale."
Although Wang Songhe did not understand the concept of synthesis, he at least knew that with so many units crammed into one battalion, the academy's training cycle would take a year, not to mention the lack of trained personnel.
Once any link gets stuck, not to mention that there is no time to learn the information equipment, these companies alone will not be able to be led out.
It's a complete waste of time.
Listening to Commander Wang's question, Chen Mo smiled and asked mysteriously, "Commander, have you heard of the law of attraction?"
"What the hell is that?" Wang Songhe waved his hand and said, "Don't be so careless, kid. If you have something to say, just say it. If you have something to say, just fart!"
"Okay."
Chen Mo cursed in his heart, "What an old-fashioned guy!" This old man came here to learn, but his attitude was so arrogant.
He cursed but didn't show it on his face: "Master, the law of attraction is the talent I need. I don't have to look for them myself, they will come to me on their own, and they will come in droves."
"Do you believe it?"
"Just keep blowing your own trumpet. There's not a single word of truth coming out of your mouth."
Wang Songhe really couldn't stand Chen Mo's wild and imaginative thinking. He cursed angrily and got up and left.
He wanted to see how powerful this so-called law of attraction was.
Only when Chen Mo was the only one left in the meeting room did he relax and lean back in his chair.
In fact, the problem just now still exists, and no perfect solution has been found.
But Chen Mo understood one thing, that is, when attention is needed from above, it is best to raise a difficult question.
It's so difficult that even the military district can't help, let alone make any concessions. Only by reporting to the higher authorities can the problem be effectively solved.
If one turns his own problems into everyone's problems, naturally people of higher rank than him will worry about it.
It is too early to talk about information equipment now.
After all, the foundation for building the camp has not been laid yet, so even if we apply for it, the higher-ups will not pay any attention to it.
Since the 26 types of equipment applied for by the Non-commissioned Officer Academy are all related to infantry-tank coordination, let's apply for tanks first.
In the past, the Blue Army Battalion was equipped with the Type 96, and it was only because of the second phase of mechanization experiments that it was put into mass production.
By the time the third phase of testing is completed, the 96A will probably be deployed on a large scale. However, it will take several years according to time calculations.
Chen Mo thought about it, found manuscript paper and pen in the conference room, and started writing the plan.
First of all, the plan for establishing a general staff must be written in, and secondly, the configuration of the 9th Company of the 1st Battalion. However, in terms of tanks, he did not write about the Type 96.
Instead, it was specifically written as Type 98, which was later called the Type 99 main battle tank. The rifle equipped for individual soldiers. Chen Mo did not plan to get the Type 81 rifle, but changed to the Type 95 rifle.
The Type 99 main battle tank will not be unveiled until the military parade in more than a month. However, the specifications of the informationization experiment are high. Information data about the development and delivery of the Type 99 tank are recorded in the documents on informationized warfare.
Including the Type 95 rifle, the Hong Kong Garrison was already equipped with it in 1997. At the end of the century, these equipments were completely unheard of for many grassroots units.
But for the leaders of the Army Academy, this is not unfamiliar. Like drones, it has not been equipped in the field troops, but other troops have already been equipped with it.
As for the fact that the Type 95 is not as easy to use as the Type 81, that's a matter of opinion.
Chen Mo himself had never played the 95, and he applied for these new equipment not simply to improve the combat effectiveness of the informationized battalion.
Instead, the aim is to make the Non-commissioned Officer Academy famous throughout the military region with new equipment, thereby attracting veterans from more units to come and check out the challenge.
The entire camp is yet to be built and is short of talent.
What is needed is to let these talents come here on their own.
Chen Mo was calculating his own plans in his mind and was writing the plan with great enthusiasm.
Cheng Dong strode into the conference room, wiped the rain off his face, and pointed outside the door.
"Captain Xiu, damn, that's really a tongue twister."
"Well, the people from the National University of Defense Technology you mentioned are here. They were sent by the military district. They're downstairs."
“Here they come?!!”
Chen Mo's eyes lit up and he quickly dropped the paper and pen and stood up.
This is really like sending a pillow when you are sleepy.
Now is the critical time to build the camp. Comrade Heping has arrived. Even if I can't help, I see him every day.
My mood will inexplicably improve. It’s better than seeing Lao Wang all day, right?
