Volume 12 Prelude to the Great War Chapter 68 Quantity is useful
After sending Du Junyong to attack! Pei Chengyi personally called Mei Lechizhe, the aviation pong commander of the theater.
As one of the two major overseas war zones of the Republic, the South Asian War Zone not only shoulders the heavy responsibility of guarding the South Asian region. It also faces the entire Indian Ocean region and has great unique organizational characteristics. Because it needs to fight abroad, the troops are mainly naval in organization. In addition, the new Chief of General Staff is the former naval commander, the South Asian War Zone takes the lead in adopting a new organizational system, which includes the tactical aviation of the Air Force, the navy's shore-based aviation and the army's support aviation, and is unifiedly commanded by the theater aviation thug Air Force Command.
According to outside speculation, Lin Xiaolei was conducting a "pilot" in the South Asian War Zone to take the opportunity to deal with Yuan Chenhao.
First of all, he made a fuss about the establishment of the aviation force. In addition to the complexity of the aviation force itself, it was also related to the rapid decline of the air force. Lin Xiaolei's original intention must have arranged a certain HNA general, such as Liang Guoxiang, or Zhu Ronghui, or someone else to be the commander of the war zone aviation. Unfortunately, Liang Guoxiang was promoted to lieutenant general. Zhu Ronghui retired shortly after Lin Xiaolei became the chief of staff of the General Staff. Yang Jinjie went to the HNA Shipboard Aviation Command, and Qiu Boqing stayed at HNA as deputy Liang Guoxiang. In short, when Lin Xiaolei needed to send someone to the South Asian theater, he could not find a suitable candidate.
Because the position of the Air Commander of the War Zone cannot be empty all the time, Yuan Chenhao took this opportunity to elect Air Force Major General Mei Lechi.
Lin Xiaolei had no reason to object to this proposal.
Although Mei Lechi's qualifications are not as good as Liang Guoxiang, Zhu Ronghui and others, as well as the Fourth India-Pakistan War, East China Sea War, Indochina War, Peninsula War, Japan War, Southern Tibet and India War, and is still an outstanding general with the number one double ace of the Republic's Air Force. Major General Mei Lechi has long been famous. Because General Jia Baoguo is older, some people think that he is the successor that General Lei Jingming focuses on training. What Lin Xiaolei is most difficult to refuse is that Mei Lechi was originally a HNA pilot, but he went to the Air Force without being reused by HNA, and showed his talent in the Air Force as no less than any HNA pilot.
Because he really couldn't come up with a more ideal candidate, Lin Xiaolei could only agree to this personnel appointment.
For Melechi, it is definitely not a bad thing to be an aviation corps in the South Asian theater.
In the third military reform, the Air Force was most affected. To be honest, it almost became a "second-rate military branch". When Lei Jingming made the development decision to "comprehensively shrink and consolidate the basic key development", a large number of young and vigorous air force generals such as Mei Lechi all raised objections. In fact, Mei Lechi was no longer young, but was much younger than Lei Jingming.
According to Mei Lechi's idea, the Air Force's way out is not to narrow the territory, but to "join the throne and the alliance."
In the words of Mei Lechi at the meeting of senior generals who decided the development direction of the air force at the end of the 7th year: the Air Force is different from other military branches, and is a "high-tech-dependent" military force with high input and high output; the essence of the third military reform is not to reduce the size of the army, but to improve the combat efficiency of the army by integrating military forces. The general development direction is to integrate combat forces of similar nature. Ultimately, the boundaries of military branches are eliminated and combat forces are allocated according to actual combat needs; because the purpose of the reform is too long, the third military reform will inevitably be divided into several stages, and the final goal will even be achieved through the fourth military reform or even the fifth military reform; if the Air Force wants to take the lead in future development and gain a broader development prospect, it should seize the current opportunities, take the initiative to integrate forces, break the boundaries of the military branches, and carry out deeper and more extensive cooperation with other military branches.
Mei Lechi's point of view is not wrong, but it is not the time to mention it.
Although Lei Jingming did not adopt Mei Lechi's opinion and did not approve his promotion order for several years after that, and even placed Mei Lechi in the logistics equipment office under the Tactical Aviation Command during Tian Nian, everyone knew that Lei Jingming did not belittle Mei Lechi, but instead gave him a brighter future. As the commander of the Air Force, Lei Jingming could not be unclear about the Air Force's way out. He must have known that Mei Lechi proposed the direction of the Air Force's development. The problem is that when Lin Xiaolei had just become the Chief of Staff,
The army's "Entermination and Alliance" is undoubtedly a boring thing, or even seeking death. Even if Lin Xiaolei is enlightened and righteous, he will take this opportunity to expand the influence of the naval aviation, and even make wedding clothes for the army aviation, and will not tolerate the air force to become bigger. The Air Force will definitely "Entermination and Alliance" in the future to create a new world in the reform of the organization, but it is definitely not now. Lei Jingming did not rush to promote Mei Lechi, but also gave him a big and small slaughter. He is definitely not suppressing this proud subordinate, but protecting him to avoid being too ostentatious.
It can be seen from Lei Jingming's later arrangements. He absolutely had no intention of attacking Mei Lechi.
According to rumors in the Air Force, Mei Lechi was able to be transferred to the commander of the South Asian theater aviation in the past year. In addition to Yuan Chenhao's active struggle, Lei Jingming's actions were crucial. Judging from the actual situation, because Mei Lechi's arrival more or less damaged the interests of the navy and strengthened Yuan Chenhao's team. It was definitely not what Lin Xiaolei was willing to see, so with Yuan Chenhao's influence alone, Lin Xiaolei would definitely not give in.
If we add a commander of the Banquet Army, even if Lin Xiaolei is not interested in the third place, he will have to give Lei Jingming a face. For Mei Lechi, this is equivalent to "a dragon entering the sea and a bird entering the blue sky."
What cannot be ignored is that the South Asian War Zone can be said to be a "land of happiness". Yuan Chenhao is Pei Chengyi's person, and Pei Chengyi is the only general in the entire Republic's army who is capable of fighting against Lin Xiaolei. Letting Mei Lechi go to the South Asian War Zone is equivalent to getting Pei Chengyi's protection. In other words, no matter what reputation Mei Lechi makes in the South Asian War Zone, as long as he does not make a principled mistake, Lin Xiaolei will have no choice.
In the long run, because Pei Chengyi is much younger than Lin Xiaolei, he will sooner or later surpass Lin Xiaolei.
With this alone, Lei Jingming had reason to send Mei Lechi to the South Asian War Zone.
After experiencing this struggle, Mei Lechi has also matured a lot.
After coming to the South Asian War Zone, Mei Lechi did not rush to implement his "big integration" plan, but worked down-to-earth for several years to find out the specific situation of the war zone. It was not until early in the early 0s, before the second phase of the third military reform officially began, and after Yuan Chenhao successfully applied for a pilot in the South Asian War Zone, Mei Lechi proposed the reform plan for "integrated aviation" and received strong support from senior management after applying for the Ministry of Defense.
According to the rules of Jie Lechi, the first thing to do is to take the thugs to complete the preparation and adjustment in the year.
It was during this formation that all the permanent aviation forces in the South Asian theater were integrated into the Aviation Command.
In fact, based on the third military reform, the permanent aviation forces affiliated to each war zone are not large in scale. In the South Asian theater, the permanent aviation forces only include large-scale early warning aircraft of the thugs deployed in Trivandrum, "8 tankers" of the squadrons of the squadrons, and old heavy air combat fighters of the squadrons and low-altitude attack aircraft of the squadrons.
Although the total number of troops is not large, compared with other war zones, especially the Western Pacific War Zone, the scale of aviation in the South Asian War Zone is very limited. The address of this site has been changed to: Qingbigu, please log in to the Fa to read it!
Because of the limited force, the integration of cooperative combat forces is more critical.
According to Mei Lechi's arrangement, under the new organization, the Air Force, HNA and Land Aviation will no longer be distinguished, but will be divided according to the combat capabilities of the troops and will be flexibly deployed in the war zone.
In order to improve the adaptability of the troops and ensure that combat effectiveness is synchronized, between the years from Lili to the young, the aviation troops in the South Asian theater conducted close-breaking exercises and cross-base drills. All combat units went around the theater, deployed at least the old days at each base, and jointly deployed and trained with more than two brother troops.
When doing these things, Mei Lechi caused a lot of trouble for the Republic.
For example, in July, during a "training" by the War Zone Air Force Command, Celi, the long-range anti-submarine patrol aircraft and strategic reconnaissance aircraft deployed in Galle, supported by the tanker deployed in Cochin, flew over half of the Indian Ocean and took a walk around the western waters of Australia, which shocked the Australian Prime Minister contacted the head of the Republic three times within 4 hours, demanding that the Republic immediately stop such provocative actions.
Mei Lechi is so active, not for the sake of war, but for the time he spends.
In his memoirs, if the theater aviation corps began to be integrated in Aobi Nian, the basic work would be completed in the end.
From this we can see that Mei Lechi is a crooked flower.
At the beginning of the year, the South Asian Theater aviation corps had been unified under a command and had relatively complete joint combat capabilities.
More importantly, a new command system was born with a new organization.
In a sense, the establishment of the command system is the foundation of the new organization.
As an air force general, Mei Lechi cannot not know the importance of the command system. If you want to exert the combat effectiveness of the army, you rely on command. No matter how complete the organization is, if you do not have good command, it would be good if you can be considered a military force, let alone winning a battle.
This is precisely because when the staffing adjustment was made, Mei Lechi focused on the construction of the command system.
Because he was sent by Lei Jingming and was a middle-in-communication between the theater commander and the Air Force commander, Mei Lechi's reform actions received strong support from Yuan Chenhao. In Mei Lechi's words, without Yuan Chenhao's support, he would not have achieved any success in the South Asian theater.
Of course, support is not as simple as one sentence.
In addition to letting Mei Lechi let go, Yuan Wuhao also provided a material foundation for this major general of the Air Force.
I have to admit that Shou Jingming’s choice is not wrong.
Although the South Asian War Zone is the most remote among the major war zones in the Republic, and is least valued, and has even been discriminated against by the General Staff, thanks to this remote geographical location, the South Asian War Zone can always "adapt to local conditions" and make the deputy four words "to adapt to local conditions" to make Emperor Gao far away. How Yuan Chenhao should do Lin Xiaolei's rebellion and how many opportunities should he interject. In a few years, the South Asian War Zone is most famous for "doing side jobs to deal with pirates in the Indian Ocean, sending special forces to Soma to understand the rescue of hostages, and attacking extremist organizations in Yemen are secondary. The important thing is how to contribute to the construction of the war zone. It can be said that Yuan Chenhao did the best job to complete a large amount of infrastructure construction under limited funding. For example, using funds provided by the Iranian interest group to build a fully equipped theater command.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, the kind of commander will be the kind of soldiers.
Yuan Chenhao is always "working side jobs." Mei Lechi is naturally unwilling to let the crowd down. In order to buy a more advanced command system, Mei Lechi thought of the most direct and simplest way: to start a training class.
According to Melechi's recollection, in the two years from the year to the year of Lilichi, the South Asian Theater Air Force Command opened a total of four six-month senior training classes, training about thugs. The young officers were from Iran, Iraq and Syria, especially Syria. Because this was not the behavior of the Republican authorities, these foreign soldiers went to the South Asian Theater to participate in special training in the South Asian Theater to receive the advanced military ideas of the Republic's army. Of course, the tuition for the training classes was very high. In Melechi's words, these money networks were good enough to buy a command system. At that time, the price of an advanced tactical command system was around 10,000 yuan, and even internal procurement was over 10,000 yuan. In other words, each training soldier could be transferred to about 40,000 yuan. You should know that the Republic openly trained military personnel for Middle Eastern countries at that time, and the fees were also less than 10,000 yuan.
Yuan Chenhao not only did not stop Mei Lechi, but also strongly supported her.
Because it was not made public, the Republic's authorities turned a blind eye to this matter. No matter what, insufficient military expenditure has made the lives of troops at all levels very difficult. As long as the principles are not violated, it is normal for the troops to find ways to do some side jobs. Besides, cultivating military personnel for friendly countries can also enhance exchanges and feelings between countries, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Republic.
In short, Mei Lechi has accomplished things that many people dare not think of without creating conditions.
At the beginning of the year, the South Asian Theater Aviation Forces was already the most powerful aviation force in the Republic. More importantly, the command system of the South Asian Theater Aviation Forces Aviation Forces Sixth Command brought some unexpected benefits to Pei Chengyi. That is, he could bypass the Joint Command and command the aviation force through the Theater Aviation Forces Command. In other words, he could deploy combat without consulting with Iran, Iraq and Syrian generals, avoiding a lot of trouble.
Of course, Pei Chengyi must reuse Mei Lechi.
Because during the Peninsula War and the Indian War commanded by Pei Chengyi, Mei Lechi was both a pilot, mostly the commander of the front-line combat troops and did not participate in the specific command work, Pei Chengyi was not very clear about the situation of this major general of the Air Force.
For this reason, he also called Yuan Chenhao and sought Liang Guoxiang's opinions. Fortunately, Yuan Chenhao trusted Mei Lechi very much, and Liang Guoxiang also valued this pilot who dared to challenge him.
After receiving the recognition of the two generals, Pei Chengyi no longer hesitated and threw the important task of aviation operations to Mei Lechi. From the beginning, Mei Lechi planned the thugs and aviation operations.
For Melechi, this is undoubtedly his opportunity to come to the South Asian War Zone to wait.
Although there is no reason to believe that Lei Jingming would have guessed that Pei Chengyi would command the Middle East War a few years ago, and it is unlikely that the Middle East War would break out at this time, Mei Lechi should have enough reason to believe. Only by following Pei Chengyi unswervingly can he become an air force
make.
In short, after Pei Chengyi arranged the task, Mei Lechi regarded it as the most important thing.
After more than a month, Mei Lechi has been formulating combat plans and punishments, and has formulated different combat plans according to different situations.
In his post-war words, within more than a month, several staff officers from the theater aviation command, including him, only rested 6 hours a day, and formulated nearly 100 sets of tactical combat plans with the highest efficiency. They also used the central computer of the command system to conduct basic deductions.
It can be seen from this that although Pei Chengyi did not formulate a detailed combat plan, the command agencies at all levels under him had already begun to take action. This is one of the major achievements of the third military reform. With clear power and clear responsibilities, only by fully and rationally using forces at all levels can we obtain the most powerful combat effectiveness with the lowest investment.
After receiving Pei Chengyi's call, Mei Lechi asked his secretary to prepare a vertical take-off and landing transport plane for him.
Pei Chengyi made it very clear on the phone that from now on, he will spend hours to complete the final preparations, and within a few hours in the future, war may break out at any time.
No matter what, Mei Lechi was promoted from the grassroots level.
Unlike Pei Chengyi, he does not like to command battles in the rear. He prefers to watch the troops fighting near the front line.
