Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 12 Strength
When Beijing was in chaos, Wang Yuanqing was inspecting the General Staff...
At the end of 2023, Ji Youguo took the lead in implementing the military reforms that Zhao Rundong had fully promoted were successfully completed. The Republic's national defense forces cut off the tendons and marrows, and the military's appearance was completely renewed.
The core content of military reform is not the renewal of weapons and equipment, but the military organization and command system.
For any army, weapons and equipment are "outside", military organization is "inner", and command system is "soul", and the difficulty of the three is from low to high. In the process of implementing military reform, the Republic adopted the policy of "three-pronged approach, different severity of importance". When gradually changing weapons and equipment and establishing a joint command system, the focus is on adjusting the military organization. Procure weapons and equipment in accordance with the new organization and improve the command system. Under the influence of new weapons preparation and brand new command system, the military organization gradually moves towards completeness and perfection.
Among them, the military organization is both a connection point and a intersection point between the upper and lower ends.
The Laos and Vietnam Wars verified the combat effectiveness of the rapid response troops and proved the potential of the joint command system.
Starting from the end of 2019, military reform will shift its focus to both the upper and lower ends. Affected by large-scale regional wars, the Republic has accelerated the pace of renewal of weapons and equipment, and the national defense budget and equipment procurement costs have hit new highs for several consecutive years.
The joint command system that has withstood the test of war was promoted from the General Staff, and the pattern of "independent army" of the army, navy and air force was broken, and a joint front-line command was established in several strategic directions.
Before inspecting the work, Wang Yuanqing knew that military reform had encountered many problems.
Although Peng Maobang retired in 2022 and Xiang Yinghui served as the Chief of General Staff, in the following year, Peng Maobang traveled to several major military regions and military commands of the Republic, and personally did "ideological work" for the military commanders and military commanders. There is no way to do this. Zhao Rundong was not in good health, and Xiang Yinghui was not at the prestige of a high enough person. Except for Ji Youguo, where he retired, only Peng Maobang had the ability to continue to promote military reform. In Peng Maobang's view, military reform was the first step in the reform of the Republic's system and was the long-cherished wish that Ji Youguo could not fulfill when he left office. Even if he had retired, with Peng Maobang's prestige in the army, no military commander or military commander dared not to ignore his "order". Only by putting down the work of the General Staff, Peng Maobang had more time to "inspect" everywhere and had more energy to promote military reform.
Peng Maobang made great contributions to the military reform by the end of 2023.
Wang Yuanqing was not a soldier and was not good at fighting.
During the inspection of work, Wang Yuanqing asked some staff officers about their living and work situations. He proposed "constructive" opinions and suggestions such as improving working conditions, improving the living security of officers and soldiers, and solving the worries of officers and soldiers. In terms of command system, equipment conditions, etc., Wang Yuanqing only asked about the situation and did not put forward any opinions.
Just like inspecting work at the Military Intelligence Bureau, Wang Yuanqing went to the soldier's cafeteria to have lunch.
This reflects the difference between soldiers and intelligence personnel. Xiang Yinghui did not arrange a luncheon for Wang Yuanqing. He just asked the officers to prepare a few more stir-fry dishes. As a result, Wang Yuanqing went to the soldiers' canteen.
After lunch, the "main business" begins.
"Let's start with equipment renewal." Xiang Yinghui is both the Chief of Staff and the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. He will introduce the situation of the Army. "According to the equipment renewal plan formulated in 20199, by September this year, four armored tank troops, six mechanized infantry troops, six infantry troops and three airborne troops, a total of fourteen armored brigades, six armored assault brigades, eighteen mechanized infantry brigades, five air assault brigades and four airborne brigades. About 65% of the army combat troops have completed equipment renewal. According to the plan formulated at the beginning of this year, by the end of next year, all combat troops of the Army will complete equipment renewal work."
"How is the training work going?" Wang Yuanqing didn't understand military affairs, but he just didn't want to show off his skills.
"The training is carried out in advance. We have training and practical training bases in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Heilongjiang, Chongqing, Jiangsu, Fujian and Hainan. The redesigned troops enter six months in advance to ensure that they immediately form combat capabilities after obtaining new equipment. After changing the gear, each unit will conduct three months of intensive practical training."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "What is the core job of the Army's dress-up?"
Xiang Yinghui was late for a while and probably didn't understand what Wang Yuanqing meant.
"As far as I know, the key issue in the Army's dressing is logistics support, especially the logistics support and maintenance capabilities of a large number of new weapons and equipment." Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "Chief of Staff, can you give me a detailed introduction?"
Xiang Yinghui immediately reacted and immediately asked the secretary and staff to retrieve a piece of information.
Walking to the big screen, Xiang Yinghui looked at the picture information displayed on the screen and said, "This is the project we established in 20177. It was not until the beginning of last year that we successfully developed the "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station". The weight of the entire set of equipment is 105 tons, divided into three parts: "electricity supply system", "conversion and transformer system" and "electricity distribution system". It is deployed on three heavy-load trucks. During combat and strategic maneuvering, three tactical transport aircraft or a strategic transport aircraft can be airlifted. The system can be an armored battalion, an artillery battalion, or two steps within half an hour.
All electric equipment provides all electricity, or continues to provide electricity to a brigade-level assault force.”
"How is the safety performance?" Wang Yuanqing was very interested in "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station".
"There is no radiation pollution in the fusion reaction. The system adopts a four-degree control system, and an emergency shutdown system and a self-destruction system are set up." Xiang Yinghui hesitated for a moment and said, "Last year we used the No. 3 prototype for practical testing. The armor in the core of the protection system is sufficient to resist large-caliber machine gun bullets and shells. If the armor is penetrated, the system will stop operating within ten milliseconds, and the self-destruction explosion killing range is less than fifty meters. Now a wired remote-controlled operating system has been developed, and the operators can complete all the work within fifty meters."
Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly and signaled Xiang Yinghui to continue the introduction.
"Vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" is the basic condition for the renewal of the Army's equipment and the prerequisite for the Army to fully equip electric weapons. In order to develop this system, the Army invested a total of 100 million yuan (calculated at the average exchange rate, about 12c yuan). After the successful development, the Army first proposed a three-step promotion plan, namely, first equipped military-level combat units, then promoted them in brigade-level combat units, and finally popularized them in battalion-level combat units. In early 2023, the Army adjusted the promotion plan and proposed to directly equipped brigade-level combat units, not popularized them in battalion-level combat units. There are two reasons: one is that the purchase unit price of the system is as high as 24, and the price of mass production will not be lower than 18. The other is that the power supply capacity of the system exceeds the power consumption needs of battalion-level combat units, and popularizing them to battalion-level combat units will greatly waste resources.
Of course, this is not the ultimate goal of the Army.
The "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" only solves the problem of power supply, but does not solve the transmission problem.
The Army is developing "microwave directional power transmission technology". If a breakthrough is made, it can get rid of the restrictions on power transmission areas of electricity, and combat troops can perform combat missions in a wider range. The Army is also developing the "unmanned aircraft power transit system" and cooperating with a national key laboratory of Tsinghua University to develop the "satellite power transit system". If these two systems can be developed, the Army will truly enter the "electric era".
After Xiang Yinghui introduced the situation of the army, Ying Changhui began to introduce the situation of the navy.
In order to "make way" for the Army, the Navy slowed down the design and construction progress of the third-level aircraft carrier after completing the construction of three large aircraft carriers, and focused on enhancing the combat effectiveness of escort warships and auxiliary ships. In addition to 3~large aircraft carriers with standard displacement of more than 75,000~:, after 20177, eight air defense cruisers with intercepting ballistic missile capabilities were built, 12 multi-purpose destroyers with intercepting ballistic missile capabilities, and 12~anti-submarine frigates (fully electric), forming an aircraft carrier battle group including the "Republic".
What interested Wang Yuanqing was the naval submarines, because Wang Yuanqing still remembered the performance of submarines in the Fourth India-Pakistan War and the East China Sea War.
After completing the construction of the 6th-class attack nuclear submarine (equipped with a controllable fusion reactor), the Navy gave up the "full nuclear submarine" and focused on the construction of "nuclear power submarines".
The so-called "nuclear power submarine" means that a small fusion reactor similar to a "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" is equipped on the submarine, and hundreds of tons of composite batteries.
Because the power of a small fusion reactor is relatively small and is not enough to enable the submarine to reach its maximum submarine speed, it only supplies power to composite batteries and does not use to drive superconducting motors. Simply put, the "nuclear power submarine" is to add a small fusion reactor to "all-electric submarines" such as the "Swordfish", making it a "super AIP submarine".
When Wang Yuanqing came to inspect the work, the Navy had already built a total of 24 "nuclear power submarines" of Level 3, and another 8 were under construction.
Ying Changhui did not focus on HNA's situation. Anyway, HNA will be mentioned when introducing the Air Force.
Because Yan Yuqing did not come, Pei Chengyi introduced the situation of the Air Force.
Relatively speaking, the Air Force's equipment update is not that eye-catching. The j-14 replaced the j11 series (including j-113) heavy fighter jets and became the main air-controlling fighter jets, the j-15 replaced the j-0 series light fighter jets and became the main multi-purpose fighter jets, and the h--9 replaced the h-66 series bomber jets and became the main strategic strike force.
The biggest change in the Air Force is in the auxiliary forces.
The kj22 replaced the kj2000, and the kz19 made up for the shortcomings of early warning aircraft. In terms of transport aircraft, the y-14 tactical transport aircraft was put into service in large quantities, and the y-15 large transport aircraft was also put into production in 2022. In addition to a small number of "Il-76", the Air Force basically eliminated Russian-made transport aircraft.
Because Pei Chengyi didn't know much about the Air Force, the introduction was not very detailed.
Wang Yuanqing did not stay for dinner, and there were more important things waiting for him to deal with in the evening.
