Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Almost at the same time.

In the special conference room on the top floor of the Longguo Military Commission Building, the air was stagnant and the atmosphere was solemn.

Around the large sandalwood conference table, a group of generals in neat uniforms were talking to each other in whispers.

On the desk, a document marked with a red "Top Secret" seal was spread out in front of each officer. On the title page of the document, the large words "Regarding the Amendment of the Organization of the Dragon Army" were particularly eye-catching.

Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Liu Zhiguo's eyes kept shifting between the document and the young man standing in front of the projection screen, his brow furrowed.

This young man is none other than Fang Yu, who has brought a series of major breakthroughs to Longguo's military industry in recent years.

At this moment, Fang Yu looked calm and stood upright, waiting for the leaders of the Central Military Commission to finish reading the shocking military reform plan he submitted.

"Abolish division-level units? Convert existing divisions into heavily armored combined-arms brigades?"

Major General Zhang Lixin, Deputy Commander of the Army, shook his head in disbelief, his voice full of doubt.

"This is simply a complete denial of our army's decades-long organizational tradition!"

"Since the founding of the army, we have been following the Russian system and have made great achievements in the war. Why do we need to start a war?"

General Chen, who was sitting opposite him, tapped the table lightly with a firm look in his eyes.

"Don't jump to conclusions. Listen to Xiao Fang's detailed explanation first."

“Every proposal he makes has a lot of thought behind it, and we’ve seen that many times.”

Fang Yu nodded slightly to General Chen in thanks, then pressed the remote control, and a complex military organizational chart immediately appeared on the projection screen.

"Commanders," Fang Yu said in a steady and powerful voice, "the divisional system currently used by our army has its historical rationale, but facing the possible battlefield environment of the future, this system has obvious limitations."

"Traditional divisions are large in size, have lengthy chains of command, and are poorly maneuverable, making them difficult to adapt to the rapid response requirements of modern warfare."

He clicked the remote and the screen switched to a new chart.

"The so-called heavy armored combined arms brigade organically integrates the tank, infantry, artillery, air defense, engineering, and communications arms that were originally scattered across different units into a single combat unit, forming a 'small but comprehensive' independent combat capability."

"Each combined brigade consists of approximately 3000 to 5000 personnel, equipped with 150 to 200 pieces of heavy equipment, and can independently carry out various combat missions."

There was silence in the meeting hall.

Several older generals had expressions of disapproval on their faces, while some younger officers appeared very interested.

Air Force Commander Major General Liu Yadong asked thoughtfully, "Chief Engineer Fang, has the organizational model you mentioned been verified in actual combat?"

“It looks flexible on paper, but in practice, will it lead to confusion in command?”

Deputy Navy Commander Wu Dexun interrupted.

“When different branches of the military are integrated, how will the command authority be divided?”

Fang Yu did not answer immediately, but clicked the remote control to switch to the next slide.

A schematic diagram of the future battlefield appeared on the screen, and the scene of various high-tech weapon systems cooperating with each other in combat came to life.

"The leaders have been very thoughtful."

Fang Yu nodded in greeting.

“The establishment of a combined force brigade is indeed a challenge to traditional military theory, but it stems from a forward-looking assessment of the future battlefield environment.”

He pointed at the image on the screen.

"Future warfare will be three-dimensional, information-based, and highly mobile, precision strike warfare. In this battlefield environment, large divisions have difficulty in maneuvering and are slow to react, making them easy targets for enemy precision strikes."

"A flexible and adaptable combined arms brigade can deploy quickly, disperse risk, and concentrate firepower."

Chief of General Staff Liu Zhiguo put down the documents in his hand and looked at me with a sharp gaze.

"Chief Engineer Fang, the biggest challenge with your proposal isn't technical, but the entire military's mindset and combat traditions."

Fang Yu smiled slightly: "Director Liu is right. This is indeed a revolution in thinking."

"But every military revolution in history has been accompanied by a shift in mindset. This has been true from cavalry to tanks, from sailing ships to warships, and from bows and arrows to artillery."

His eyes swept over every officer present.

"The Dragon Army has a huge advantage, which is that we don't have the military baggage and inertial thinking of Western countries."

"We can leapfrog directly, drawing on the lessons learned from future wars to build a modern army that is truly adapted to the battlefields of the future."

These words changed the atmosphere in the conference hall.

Several young generals began to discuss in low voices, with excitement glittering in their eyes.

"Chief Engineer Fang," Lieutenant General Zhao Guoqiang, commander of the Southern Theater Command, suddenly spoke in a deep and powerful voice. "I have a question: If the reforms you envision are carried out, how long will it take to complete the transformation? And what will be the impact on combat capabilities?"

“This is a very critical issue.”

Fang Yu nodded.

"My suggestion is to proceed in three phases: in the first phase, select two or three elite divisions to conduct pilot reforms, which will take about six months; in the second phase, based on the pilot experience, adjust and improve the plan and promote it throughout the army, which will take about a year."

"In other words, if everything goes well, the entire military reform can be completed in about a year and a half."

Fang Yu walked to the map and pointed out several strategic points.

"During the transition period, we can prioritize reforming our forces in strategic locations to ensure national defense and security are not affected."

"In fact, after the reform is completed, our army's actual combat capability will be improved by more than 30%, especially in rapid response and joint operations."

Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Lin Hu had remained silent until then, but suddenly asked a question.

"If this reform is carried out, what advantages and disadvantages will our military organization have compared to the Russians and the Americans?"

Fang Yu was confident: "Compared with the Bear Country, our organization will be more flexible, the chain of command will be shorter, and the response will be faster;"

"Compared to the Eagle Sauce, although we have a gap in technical equipment, our organizational structure will be no less advanced, and may even be more advanced."

"More importantly, this organizational model is very suitable for my country's national conditions and military situation, and can give full play to the subjective initiative and flexible adaptability of our soldiers."

A hint of approval flashed in Lin Biao's eyes, but his expression remained serious.

"What about the training system? Such a major change will inevitably require corresponding training reforms."

"Absolutely correct." Fang Yu nodded solemnly, "I have already prepared a supporting training reform plan."

He pulled another document from a folder and distributed it to the generals present. "This document details the training standards, content, and methods under the new organization. The core is to strengthen joint combat awareness and capabilities and cultivate well-rounded commanders and soldiers."

Chief of General Staff Liu Zhiguo flipped through the new documents and his expression gradually relaxed.

"This training plan is indeed very well thought out. In particular, the 'Red vs. Blue' training mode is very innovative."

Fang Yu explained: "Red-blue confrontation is the mainstream trend of future military training."

"By simulating actual combat environments, we can allow troops to identify and solve problems in a near-real confrontation, which can greatly enhance their combat capabilities."

The discussion in the conference hall gradually became heated.

Although the older generals still have doubts, their attitude has softened.

The young officers seemed more active and even began to discuss specific implementation details.
