stranger.

After chatting for a few words, Pei Chengyi vaguely felt that the colonel officer had a good impression of him. This did not make Pei Chengyi feel disgusted. After all, young people are always a little unruly. Pei Chengyi has passed by and is proud and is very clear about Yuan Chenhao's thoughts. More importantly, it was Pei Chengyi's negligence that made this "future general" waste several years of youth. Yuan Chenhao had some opinions about him, which was reasonable. In addition, Pei Chengyi also discovered that Yuan Chenhao regarded him as the target of chasing. This did not surprise Pei Chengyi. The General Staff Department recruited hundreds of staff members every year, and each staff member knew Pei Chengyi's name. Those ambitions and ambitions would naturally take this colonel officer to command the Republic's army to win the Peninsula War as a role model and target of learning.

"You two can be considered friends for many years and superiors and subordinates for many years. After meeting, there must be a lot of things to say, but there is time in the future, so let's talk about the main things first." Xiang Yinghui clarified the relationship between the two and turned into a slightly nervous atmosphere. After Xiao Pei came back, he was still the director of the Operations Department, Xiao Yuan, after being promoted next year, he will serve as the deputy director of the Operations Department. You two swords combined, so I don't have to worry about the affairs of the Operations Department anymore."

After hearing Xiang Yinghui say it, Pei Chengyi and Yuan Chenhao both laughed.

In a simple way, Xiang Yinghui not only clarified Pei Chengyi's leadership position in the combat department, but also appeased Yuan Chenhao, who had been acting as director of the combat department before.

"Xiao Yuan, have you brought those few Wenshi?"

"Bring it." Yuan Chenhao took out the documents.

"Let me show it to Director Pei."

Yuan Chenhao hesitated for a moment and handed the document to Pei Chengyi.

"This is the overall combat plan formulated by Xiao Yuan. I have read it and have given instructions on it." Xiang Yinghui turned his attention to Pei Chengyi, "Look carefully, raise any questions, let us discuss them together."

Pei Chengyi opened the document and read it quickly.

It is written in a very standardized manner, and is indeed a professional staff officer with a very solid foundation. It is much better than those who have been transferred from grassroots troops. It is very clear in structure and does not drag it out at all. It not only highlights the key points, but also mentions details, and has a good writing ability. It only gives people a literary feeling, and it is more like the government documents of the Ministry of National Defense. After a rough look, Pei Chengyi has a new understanding of Yuan Chenhao. In addition to the two points mentioned above, these combat strategies have a common feature, namely, it has made a clear introduction to possible unexpected situations, and the staff and guidelines for implementing the combat plan

The commander was very helpful. It is obvious that this is very funny with Yuan Chenhao's experience as a low-level staff officer. If the unexpected situations that may be encountered are not identified in the overall combat plan, the staff officer will easily make mistakes during the specific implementation. It is precisely this that makes this set of combat plan that should have been drafted look more like a regular combat plan. Compared with the formal combat plan, due to space limitations, no detailed explanation of the response measures in various situations. In other words, as long as detailed response measures are formulated for special circumstances that may be encountered, it is a complete formal combat plan.

"How is it?" Xiang Yinghui handed a cigarette to Pei Chengyi who was looking up.

"It's very detailed and standardized, but the time is too hasty. I haven't seen what the problem is."

"You haven't seen it, it proves that this plan is really good."

Pei Chengyi smiled and did not make a clear statement.

Yuan Chenhao's attitude also changed, probably because he was influenced by Pei Chengyi's initial words.

"That's it, you can discuss it after you go down.

Xiang Yinghui glanced at the two of them and said to Pei Chengyi, "I have already called the Minister of National Defense. Your official appointment letter will be officially issued tomorrow. From now on, you will start the position of Director of the Operations Department and give me a complete overall war plan as soon as possible. If time and manpower allow, formulate a detailed combat plan as soon as possible."

"How many people are there in the combat office."

Hearing Pei Chengyi's question, Xiang Yinghui turned his gaze to Yuan Chenhao.

"Including me, there are twenty-four senior staff members. There are three hundred and thirty-six low-level staff members. One senior staff leader is fourteen low-level staff members."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and asked, "The main thing is the army officer?"

Yuan Chenhao nodded and said, "Among the senior staff, there are seventeen army officers, and among the low-level staff, there are three hundred and four army officers."

"The staff is definitely not enough, and it needs to be expanded at least twice as much as possible. Pei Chengyi destroyed cigarette butts," said. "Because the combat operations are related to the three armed forces and the three independent arms, I suggest that officers be drawn from the Navy, Air Force and the independent arms. Officers must also be drawn from the Army Air Force."

Xiang Yinghui nodded and said, "No problem. Give me a detailed personnel list as soon as possible. I'll help you find someone."

"I'm just back"

"Xiao Yuan knows the situation very well, and if you don't know, you can look for him."

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly inwardly, Xiang Yinghui was simply throwing his burden.

"There is also the front-line command."

"Mr. Xiang, this matter has not been completely settled. Whether it is the front-line command or the theater command has not been clear," Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "I think it's better to slow down for the time being. First, expand the recruitment of staff on the basis of the combat office. Even if necessary, you can directly allocate staff from here."

Hearing Pei Chengyi's words, Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, as if something had risen again.

"Okay, just do what you want. I will get this done first and then arrange a staff officer."

"There's nothing else, we'll say goodbye

Seeing Pei Chengyi getting up and saying goodbye, Yuan Chenhao also hurriedly

In just a few minutes, Yuan Chenhao's attitude towards Pei Chengyi changed a lot. When he left the Chief of Staff's office, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he held it back.

"The Personnel Office is still on the third floor, right?" Pei Chengyi took the initiative to start the topic.

"Yes, I'll take you there on the third floor."

"Go together, first make the recruitment of staff so that President Xiang can transfer people as soon as possible Pei Chengyi smiled. He said, "If there are not enough personnel, no matter how powerful the leader is, it will not work.

Yuan Chenhao nodded and accelerated his pace.

After the first military reform, the personnel management of the Republic's army was transferred from the General Staff to the Ministry of National Defense. The main work of the General Staff Personnel Department is not the promotion of soldiers, but the transfer of soldiers. According to the new regulations, the transfer of soldiers at the general level needs to be approved by the Ministry of National Defense, and the transfer of positions of soldiers below the general within the normal range is the control of the General Staff. In order to facilitate the transfer of soldiers, the General Staff Personnel Department has personal files of all soldiers. Except for a few soldiers, such as General Staff Chief Xiang Yinghui and Military Intelligence Director Li Cunxun, other personal files are electronic archives. The heads of various departments of the General Staff Department can retrieve electronic files of these people at the authorization level.

Because Pei Chengyi has not taken office yet, Yuan Chenhao is responsible for the transfer of files.

After obtaining the electronic file, the two went to Yuan Chenhao's office.

The office arranged for Pei Chengyi, that is, the office of the Director of the Operations Department, is still being renovated. From this point of view, it can be seen that Xiang Yinghui is not stingy at all. He has spent more than one hundred thousand yuan to renovate his office, which is naturally deeply respectful to his subordinates.

"General Pei, what should I do now?"

"Let's start with the Navy, first transfer the information of senior naval officers, and distinguish them according to military service, and focus on majors with military service between ten and fifteen years."

Yuan Chenhao frowned slightly, as if he didn't quite understand what Pei Chengyi meant.

"These people are basically between the ages of thirty and thirty-five, with both experience and heart, and open-mindedness, and are most suitable for serving as senior advisers.

Yuan Chenhao nodded and remembered Pei Chengyi's words.

Soon, he listed the list of officers who met Pei Chengyi's requirements.

Although Pei Chengyi does not know much about the situation of the Navy, he can easily grasp the abilities of each officer based on the ability area map in his personal profile, especially his excellent abilities.

The "Ability Region Map" is one of the achievements of the second military reform. Unlike previous rating assessments, according to the new rating assessment methods, the abilities of officers are divided into five categories: one is the front-line command ability, the second is the battle planning ability, the third is the combat coordination ability, the fourth is the propaganda and agitation ability, and the fifth is the cultural exchange ability. The focus of the ability is different, and the positions they can hold are naturally different. Officers with strong front-line command ability are often assigned to grassroots troops; Czego thugs are strongly capable officers. They mainly serve as staff members in military-level command organizations; officers with strong combat coordination ability have the opportunity to enter the front-line command center; officers with strong propaganda and agitation ability are mainly sent to external teams; officers with strong cultural exchange ability are arranged in the external exchange department. The new ability assessment method allows capable officers to have the opportunity to display their talents, and no longer need to go through combat or make a name for themselves as before.

For Pei Chengyi, this also made it easier for him to find the staff officers in need.

"The third and fifth items are the most important, followed by the second one."

"The fifth item?" Yuan Chenhao turned around and looked at Pei Chengyi.

"The communication ability is too poor, how can we coordinate the combat between the various troops? Besides, it is very likely to fight with the Allied forces, and the communication ability is particularly important. Just look carefully, officers who understand English, Urdu, Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashto, Balochi, Bengali, Bhutanese, Bodhian, Nepali, and Burmese are given priority admission, and at least a few common words in these languages ​​can be spoken."

"General Pei, this requirement is too high, right?"

"Not high, we have military exchanges with these countries." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said with a smile, "The problems with the navy should be relatively big. When you look at the army and the air force officers later, you should pay special attention."

Yuan Chenhao secretly stuck out his tongue. Except for English, which is a common language, the rest are all a few languages.

After choosing for a long time, I only picked up the senior officer of Feiming Navy.

After asking Yuan Chenhao to print out all the personal files of these people, Pei Chengyi asked him to start selecting senior Air Force officers.

"General Pei, start the matter of General Xiang's mention of the front line command."

"Interested?"

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment.

Pei Chengyi smiled and handed over a cigarette. "I'm asking if you smoke."

"This." Yuan Chenhao took the cigarette and said to the thug. "I'm so sorry, I finished smoking my cigarette network. I haven't had time to buy it yet.

"Well, why are you doing these?" Pei Chengyi didn't think much about it. Anyway, these two packs of cigarettes were given to him by Dongfang Wen.

"General Pei, the matter of the front line command,"

"It has not been decided yet, and it is definitely not the issue of the General Staff. Pei Chengyi raised his legs and said, "The front-line command and the theater command are essentially different. The front-line command is only a temporary military command, while the theater command is a permanent military command. Military reform has reached the present. It is a general trend to weaken the army command and strengthen the turntable to target combat operations. This is a trend. Can the army commands agree to it? It is a good idea to say that the problems within the army are as long as the army branches are clearly defined in the territory of the theater command and the prestige of General Xiang in the army, the army commands will sooner or later have reserved concessions. The key is the Ministry of National Defense."

"Ministry of National Defense?" Yuan Chenhao put down his hand

Japanese zhan Dingzuo, chatting attentively. "Don't stop, chat while doing things." Pei Chengyi pulled the chair to Yuan Chenhao and said. "The theater command can basically be regarded as a functional organization under the General Staff. In addition to having the power to command combat operations, it also has the power to mobilize military power. The Ministry of National Defense will definitely be affected. Although Ye Zhisheng serves as Vice Premier of the State Council as the Minister of Defense, and his local rank has been greatly improved, the Ministry of National Defense is his old nest, and weakening the Ministry of National Defense will not do him well. You should be very clear about what Ye Zhisheng has to do with the head of state."

“That is,”

"No one can guess what the head of state thinks, so we don't waste our time." Pei Chengyi knocked on the computer screen and said, "Do your job well, whether you set up a front-line command or a theater command, we have to fight this war well. If you mess it up, let alone the theater command, whether you can eat this bowl of rice is a question."

Yuan Chenhao smiled bitterly and focused on the work at hand.

When Yuan Chenhao got busy, Pei Chengyi raised his legs again.

If he doesn't care about this, he must be a lie.

When he was having dinner at the head of state last night, Pei Chengyi felt that Xiang Yinghui and Wang Yuanqing had conflicts on the establishment of a front-line command organization. Xiang Yinghui must have a tendency to establish a theater command to take one step to avoid arguing with the Ministry of National Defense on this issue in the future. Wang Yuanqing tended to establish a front-line command to avoid conflicts between the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense, which would affect combat operations.

The General Staff fought with the Ministry of National Defense for several years. It was not strange.

As early as when Ji Youguo was the head of the country, Peng Maobang and Zhao Rundong were incompatible. If it were not for Ji Jieguo's prestige, Peng Maobang would definitely have retired and returned home when Zhao Rundong became the head of the country. Even so, Peng Maobang only worked under Zhao Rundong for Nian, and then handed over the General Staff to Xiang Yinghui. Zhang Maobang's choice was wise, but Xiang Yinghui had no way to retreat. He first fought with Gu Weimin cultivated by Zhao Rundong for Nian, and then fought with Ye Zhisheng cultivated by Wang Yuanqing for several years.

If Xiang Yinghui had not been for his prestige and status in the army, he would have probably left the General Staff long ago.

As Xiang Yinghui's number one subordinate, Pei Chengyi is very clear about the relationship between the Chief of General Staff and the Head of State.

Xiang Yinghui was able to sit in the position of Chief of General Staff until now. It was not that the head of state could tolerate him, but that the head of state did not understand the army enough and needed a chief of staff like Xiang Yinghui who did not care about politics.

No matter what, it will be no benefit for the Head of State and the Chief of Staff to carry it.

Pei Chengyi didn't want to talk to Xiang Yinghui about the front-line command organization, but he just didn't want to fan the flames. In other words, Pei Chengyi could not express any opinions on this matter. If he supported the Chief of Staff, it would be very likely that Xiang Yinghui would be more confident and would be unable to step down. If he supported the head of state, it would definitely make Xiang Yinghui unhappy, which would affect Pei Chengyi's future.

More importantly, Pei Chengyi's eyes were farther than Xiang Yinghui.

To win the war, it is only a matter of time before the war is established. If you lose the war, there is no reason to establish the war.

The key is not who can benefit from it, but the end of the war. After defeating India, the Republic will definitely control the entire South Asian region, so naturally the theater command is needed to be responsible for the military affairs of the South Asian region. Wang Yuanqing refused to give in and told Xiang Yinghui clearly that the winning or losing of the war is the key. If the battle is done well, everything will be easy; if it is not done well, nothing will be mentioned. Unfortunately, Xiang Yinghui is "stubborn" and does not understand the meaning of the head of state.
