Beiyang reactionaries

These two people were important generals under Duan Xun back then, and their status under Duan Xun was almost the same as that of Li Jishen.Moreover, they have been entrenched in the local area longer than Li Jishen.In particular, Shang Zhen has been in the Northeast for nearly 20 years.Even Liu Xiang has been in Xinjiang for 6 years.

In the war with China and the Soviet Union last year, the two made great contributions again.Now that the war is over, how could Duan Xun let them stay in their original positions.Li Jishen thought of this at once.

But I thought of it, but now Duan Xun asked his own opinion directly, which made Li Jishen very embarrassed.

This is Duan Xun cutting down the princes, Li Jishen is not easy to express his opinion.

"Ren Chao, you are a member of the Standing Committee of the People's Party, the vice-chairman of the Supreme Council, and the vice-chairman of the Military Commission."

"Chairman, if Commander Liu (Liu Xiang) and Commander Shang (Shang Zhen) are transferred back, how do you plan to arrange them?"

Li Jishen understood that he couldn't shirk this matter.

Now that Duan Xun has made up his mind, Li Jishen can only keep up.And once there is no war, the Xinjiang Military Region is indeed not eligible to become a first-level military region. After the first-level military region is withdrawn, the Xinjiang Military Region will be merged into the jurisdiction of the Lanzhou Military Region.

And once the status of the first-level military region of the Xinjiang Military Region is revoked, it is impossible for Liu Xiang to stay in Xinjiang.After all, Liu Xiang's rank is very high, and he has made great contributions. The commander of the local military region is no longer worthy of him.

As for Shang Zhen, he must come back.

Because Shang Zhen is the only commander in the Chinese army who has been in one place for nearly 20 years.Shang Zhen led troops in Shaanxi in his early years, and later led Shaanxi, Suiyuan, and Mongolian troops into the Northeast, where he stayed for nearly 20 years.

Before, it was because the Northeast was not stable, the North had to guard against the Soviet Union, and the East had to guard against Japan, so stability was needed.But now that the situation is a little more stable, it is only natural for Shang Zhen to be transferred back.

So what Li Jishen wanted to know was how Duan Xun would arrange the two of them.The two of them have seniority and meritorious service in Duan Xun's camp.Shang Zhen is Duan Xun's classmate, and he followed Duan Xun when he was in Western Henan.Although Liu Xiang was a little later, Liu Xiang began to follow Duan Xun in Sichuan and was a representative of the Sichuan military officer faction.When the two of them returned to Beijing, they must be promoted to rank.

But there are so many positions in Beijing that can be rewarded to them.

They are all generals, and they must be looking for a position on the military council.But the current military committee is basically a radish and a pit.The two of them have followed Duan Xun for many years. Those who are currently in the military committee, which one is not outstanding and has deep qualifications.There was nothing wrong with these people, so why did they give up their positions to Shang Zhen and Liu Xiang.

"That's what I want to discuss with you."

Duan Xun only talked with Li Jishen in order to find a good position for Liu Xiang and Shang Zhen.But in the current situation of one radish and one hole, finding a place for them will inevitably violate the interests of the former military committee boss.

These people are all powerful.

Even Duan Xun didn't want to directly offend them and directly conflict with them.That's why Duan Xun needs the support of Li Jishen, a political leader, so he will discuss this issue with Li Jishen alone.

"Ren Chao, our country is now communicating more and more with other countries, and it will be even more so in the future. Military exchanges will also become more frequent in the future. However, our political system is different from that of foreign countries. Many foreign governments may not understand our military. Institutions like committees. There are no corresponding institutions, so there will be some problems in our exchanges with foreign military departments. In order to solve this problem, I want to set up a department dedicated to foreign exchanges, called the Ministry of National Defense. What do you think? "

"The army has an external department, which is indeed much more convenient."

"So my idea is that the vice chairman of the Military Commission is also the Minister of National Defense. The main task of the Ministry of National Defense is to communicate with the outside world. Therefore, I plan to assign the news department, propaganda department, and foreign exchange department of the Military Commission to the Ministry of National Defense. As for internal affairs, Propaganda, conscription, resettlement of veterans and disabled soldiers, pensions for sacrificed martyrs, and the management of the reserve force are all in the charge of the Ministry of National Defense. As for the mobilization department, it has stepped out of these trivial matters and is responsible for training recruits and making good troops I mean, after Commander Shang (Shang Zhen) was transferred back to Beijing, he served as the vice chairman of the Military Commission and concurrently served as the Minister of Defense.”

Li Jishen just nodded slightly.

Didn't say much.Because Li Jishen already understood Duan Xun's thoughts.It is certain that Shang Zhen cannot stay in the Northeast.But when Shang Zhen was transferred to Beijing, Shang Zhen was a dragon crossing the river.

Seniority, strength, and military exploits.

Duan Xun wants to use Shang Zhen to weaken the power of certain departments of the Military Commission.

Like the Minister of Mobilization, Luo Peijin, who has been in the mobilization department for more than 20 years.The Mobilization Department is responsible for conscription, training, resettlement of veterans and disabled soldiers, and martyr pensions.Don't look at the various departments of the military committee, just doing some trivial work.

But it's actually very powerful.

In order to carry out the normal conscription work, each county and city has an armed department, which is responsible for the conscription work.Moreover, the armed forces in various places are also responsible for the training of reserve forces in various places and command the reserve forces in various places.

As well as the resettlement of veterans, disabled soldiers, and pensions for martyrs, not only contact with local governments, but also many front-line troops have turned to the mobilization department.

Then there's the job of recruit training.

Luo Peijin has been in the mobilization department for more than 20 years, and many officers from top to bottom have been promoted by him alone.Duan Xun knew that this was caused by historical reasons, but Duan Xun couldn't ignore it.Luo Peijin joined Duan Xun's camp on behalf of the Yunnan Army back then, and Duan Xun could not dismiss him without reason.So the best way is to decentralize.

In order to decentralize power, let Shang Zhen, a cross-river dragon, step in and let Shang Zhen snatch Luo Peijin's power.This is much better than Duan Xun's personal action to relieve Luo Peijin of his position.

Of course, Duan Xun would not say these things.

He would neither tell Luo Peijin nor Shang Zhen.This kind of thing is something that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.

"In addition to the Ministry of National Defense, I plan to establish a National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee in the Military Commission, referred to as the National Defense Science and Technology Commission."

656

"In addition to the Ministry of National Defense, I plan to establish a National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee in the Military Council, referred to as the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee."

"National Defense Science and Technology Commission?"

"Well. When the 'Great Wall Project' was formulated and the super bomb was developed, I had this idea. This kind of important scientific research project related to national defense should have a special department in charge instead of a temporary leadership team There will be many such national defense projects in the future, and it is impossible to set up a temporary department every time. And even in normal times, we need a special development direction for national defense science and technology, formulate an overall plan for the development of national defense science and technology, and be able to integrate various scientific research units, Departments of universities. It’s just that there has never been a good opportunity. This time when Fu Cheng (Liu Xiang) returned to Beijing, he was asked to replace Fang Commander (Fang Dingying) as the deputy director of the “Great Wall Project” committee, and was also responsible for the establishment of the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee. Commander Fang, as the commander-in-chief of the army, continues to be in charge of the 'Great Wall Project' is not the same thing."

When Duan Xun said this, Li Jishen already understood what Duan Xun meant.

Shang Zhen entered Beijing and became the Minister of National Defense, and he was assigned the power of Luo Peijin's Mobilization Department.As long as the Ministry of National Defense is established, the Mobilization Department is almost divided into two.Moreover, the Ministry of National Defense not only distributes the power of the Mobilization Department, but also part of the power of the Ministry of Military Affairs.Because the propaganda department and news department of the Military Commission will be included in the Ministry of Defense.So the establishment of the "Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense" is for Liu Xiang who is going to Beijing.The "Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense" wants to divide the power of Han Linchun's General Armament Department.

The General Armament Department, this is a very powerful department in the Military Council.

Especially after the third five-year plan, the strength of the General Armament Department is astonishing.Because the strength of those military factories under the General Armament Department has expanded rapidly in recent years, and their hands have reached into all aspects.Moreover, China is currently implementing a semi-wartime economy, so it is a pattern of first the army and then the people.

Not to mention the rapid expansion of the strength of those military factories, many factories that should be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry also have to obey the orders of the General Armament Department.The result is that those people in the military industrial units have more and more power in their hands.Even in some cities, orders from military industrial units are easier to use than local governments.In order to adapt to the war and cooperate with the orders of the army, local governments often have to obey the orders of military industrial units.Because of this, the General Armament Department is the real power department in the Military Council.In terms of strength, it can even be compared with the General Staff Department, and its power exceeds that of the Ministry of Military Affairs, which is in charge of military personnel.

This is actually a very abnormal situation.

But it's also historically shaped.Since his early years, Duan Xun has worked hard to make China's weapons autonomous.And it also counted on selling weapons to make money in World War II, so it gave military industrial units a lot of autonomy.

The result is that the current military industrial units have become a body of interest that no one can ignore.So now Duan Xun is going to set up the "National Defense Science and Technology Commission" to allocate those scientific research units and scientific research institutions under the General Armament Department.Once these scientific research units and scientific research institutions leave the General Armament Department, it will greatly weaken the strength of the General Armament Department.

After all, which are scientific research units?

When the General Armament Department has full powers to manage, it does not distinguish between military factories and scientific research units.And those universities in the hands of the army have become private units of the equipment department, providing a steady stream of talents for the equipment department.The result is that the strength of the military factories under the Armament Department is getting stronger and stronger, and with such a strong talent team, it also affects many local factories.Now these things have to be distributed, which will directly affect the strength of the General Armament Department.

"Chairman, if some military factories and scientific research units are forcibly separated, it is likely to cause the separation of scientific research units and military factories. There will be problems with the development of new weapons. Moreover, it is now a time of war. Will it affect the development of military equipment? ?”

"possible."

Duan Xun nodded.

If the scientific research unit is independent of the production department, it is likely to fall into optical research and cannot be combined with the production unit.And now is the age of war, and it is necessary to quickly develop and produce various weapons.This artificial disassembly of the General Armament Department is likely to affect many original weapons development plans.Therefore, Duan Xun said: "So the National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Committee should not only have a scientific research unit, but also have its own production department."

"But……"

"Ren Chao, the general trend of the world, long-term cooperation must be divided, and long-term division must be combined. This is the case in any department. It is normal to separate and combine according to the situation, and the same is true for the General Armament Department."

In Duan Xun's position, there are many things that cannot be said too thoroughly.Even many personal preferences cannot be expressed at will.Because Duan Xun's personal preferences are shown casually, then the following will follow up and do things completely according to Duan Xun's preferences.

Duan Xun couldn't directly say anything about anyone's statement.If Duan Xun shows a slight liking for someone, or dislike for someone, the situation will become very serious.

Therefore, many meanings need to be understood by the following people.

Duan Xun's plan to decentralize power this time and cut the power of Luo Peijin's mobilization department and Han Linchun's equipment department is not because he has any thoughts about Luo Peijin and Han Linchun himself.Especially Han Linchun, he has always been the most highly regarded general in Duan Xun's hands.As early as when Duan Xun was in Sichuan, Han Linchun followed Duan Xun and was also one of Duan Xun's direct descendants.In recent years, he has made great achievements in order to make weapons autonomous.
