Volume 1 051 Million Disarmament

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Qi Yiming returned to the capital, he should have reported to Ping Taizong first, but for a while many things got involved.  After all, after all the other things were done, he went to Zhongnanhai again, but Ping Taizong started talking to him about other things at this time.

    Before meeting the leader, he naturally had to read the information handed out. When Qi Yiming opened it, he saw a few big words: Million-dollar Disarmament.

    After seeing this document, Qi Yiming couldn't help but sigh. This matter can be said to be a very influential event in this year and even the entire 1980s.  Through disorganization, merger, downgrade, handover, reform and reorganization, the personnel establishment of the PLA headquarters was reduced by nearly half, 11 major military regions were merged into 7, 31 units were reduced at the military level and above, and units at the division and regiment level were abolished  4054.  Leadership groups at all levels have reduced deputy cadres, 600,000 cadres have retired from active service and transferred to local jobs, three high-level command academies have been merged, and the proportion of technical soldiers has been increased.

    It can be said that the one-million-dollar disarmament system liberated the PLA and officially started the process of PLA modernization and transformation.

    In early June, the one-million-dollar disarmament plan was announced for the first time, which already caused a great response.  In fact, just like the economic reform and opening up, military reform cannot be done without reform.  The new war model has gradually taken shape in the eyes of some forward-looking senior military officers. If we continue to maintain as many as 4 million redundant troops, it will not only affect national defense, but also drag down the economy.

    At this time, the PLA has many shortcomings. The first one is redundant officials and redundant administration.  Before disarmament, the PLA's officer-to-soldier ratio actually reached an unimaginable 1:2.45. At the same time, although the Soviet Union had an equally large number of personnel, it also had a level of 1:4.65. And Western military powers like France  , the officer-to-soldier ratio is only 1:17, which shows how huge the difference is.  Moreover, in addition to the overly complex and redundant staffing, there are a large number of almost useless deputy positions in many leadership positions. There are dozens of deputy leaders under each unit leader. No one can say exactly what these deputy leaders are responsible for.  .  As a result, many strange roles such as "regiment security keeper", "battalion level typist" and so on appeared.

    Anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is difficult for such an army to maintain strong morale and reliable combat effectiveness, so reform, downsizing, and disarmament are imperative.

    After sorting out some of his thoughts, Qi Yiming attended the high-level discussion on the specific deployment of disarmament in Zhongnanhai. The big bosses who participated were mainly senior officials from the Central Military Commission and the ministries and commissions under the Ministry of National Defense. They were basically all in military uniforms.  , even Mr. Ping wore a military green suit, which made Qi Yiming's suit look particularly eye-catching.

    "Haha, Xiao Qi is finally here. You have been busy all over the world these days and have accomplished a lot of big things." Yang Senkun, one of the vice-chairmen of the Military Commission, said to him with a smile.

    Qi Yiming just smiled reservedly and said a few words of modesty.

    However, Ping Taizong paid great attention to today's issue. He said directly: "Everyone has already read the disarmament recorded in Project 9527, and it is similar to what we planned. However,  Now that we have a reference, we should make something better, so we are brainstorming this time to see if we can come up with a reform method that is more suitable for us.¡±

    Chief of General Staff Yang Dezhi suggested: "In the long run, we are almost certain that we will not have a war with severe consequences within a certain period of time, and I think that the more streamlined our PLA is, the more combat effectiveness it can improve. The 1979 War  This situation is not only due to the impact of the turmoil we have just ended, but also to our own neglect of construction. Rather than talking about a million-dollar disarmament, I think it is better to take more actions and engage in long-term, phased and gradual disarmament. We strive to do so.  Within ten years, the current number of personnel will be reduced to 2 million, and the focus will be on building ten group armies with mechanized advanced combat capabilities. The proportion of the navy, air force, and second artillery will also be increased accordingly. "

    Qi Yiming couldn't help but be surprised by the meritorious general's proposal, and said: "2 million, this is almost a reduction in half. Even in my time, it was more than this."

    Yang Dezhi said very confidently: "I have carefully studied the materials brought back by Comrade Xiao Qi. According to the development direction of that era, I think it will not be long before the country will disarm and continue to increase technical arms and high-tech troops. I estimate  At that time, it was enough to keep eight armies. Haha, let¡¯s not talk about what will happen thirty years later. Let¡¯s not talk about the A-level group army or the B-level army. We will build them all to high standards.  It¡¯s a lack of equipment. Now that we have Xiao Qi, we are not afraid of this.¡±

    Everyone smiled and agreed with this.

    Yu Qiuyi, director of the General Political Department, sighed: "Lao Yang's idea is good and true, but after laying off 2 million people, how to arrange them is still a problem, especially for those cadres. After they are transferred to other jobs, I am afraid that there will be redundant officials in the local area."  phenomenon, which is also a problem. In addition, we do intend to build a military base with appropriate scale and capable combat capabilities.?'s troops, but taking such hasty action may affect our combat effectiveness.  "

    Yang Dezhi argued: "I said, this is done in an orderly and step-by-step manner. If some people are now in good combat readiness, there is no need to rush to disarmament. In addition, we will gradually solve the problem in batches. If we do it in ten years, it will only take one year."  Lay off 200,000 people, or we can be more aggressive in the first two years and lay off 1 million people first, and then take it easy in the next few years.¡±

    Ping Taizong nodded, and seemed to agree with Yang Dezhi's slightly radical opinions. He turned to Qi Yiming and said, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?"

    Qi Yiming, who became Yuan Fang again, replied: "Actually, the number of troops will not be the main factor affecting combat effectiveness in the future. Even if we have wars in the future, they will mainly be local wars. It would be wrong to start a world war.  It is not enough to consume in the end of the world and nuclear winter. Therefore, instead of retaining too many troops, it is better to establish a complete and complete national defense reserve support system, put the strongest PLA in front, create a lean and efficient combat force, and then we can improve the conditions.  After slowly improving, a second-line armed police force, a well-trained reserve force, and a militia force are also indispensable. The superiority of the system should be paid attention to.  Wan Dajun, this is correct.¡±

    He thought for a while and continued: "I think it is feasible to lay off 2 million people in ten years, and there is no problem for the Army to build ten army groups. Even now we can set up a framework, for example, one group army can form seven or eight divisions.  , we will reorganize and merge these divisions later.¡±

    Zhang Aiping smiled and said: "This is not a group army, it is clearly a large army."

    Qi Yiming scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "The specific operations of the leaders definitely need to be pondered a little more. I don't think I can help much with this. I can still give advice on armaments, but the system is absolute.  I'm a layman. But if the demobilized officers and soldiers find it difficult to find jobs, I have some ideas. I originally planned to build another hundred competitive new enterprises for the country, involving infrastructure construction, mechanical and electrical production, chemical industry, electronic industry and other industries.  , I am lacking in workers, management, etc. People in the army are disciplined and easy to manage, and the transition to the integrated system is very fast. The cadres and workers definitely need to be retrained, but I also feel that this is very difficult.  Being optimistic and concentrating on doing big things, there is no one more reliable than people in the army.¡±

    Ping Taizong smiled happily and said: "This is the best way. You prepare a specific item and coordinate with several ministries. We will treat this matter as a top priority. If done well, it will not only solve the problem, but also solve the problem."  Our disarmament issue can also boost our national economy. It is the best option to achieve multiple goals with one stone. "

    Qi Yiming nodded repeatedly, patted his chest and said, "Okay, I will follow this project closely and strive to resettle all the demobilized officers and soldiers."

    Being relatively familiar with Qi Yiming, Hong Xuezhi from the Logistics Department came up with another concept: "Like Lao Yang, I have read a few things, and among them I think the most valuable one is the new non-commissioned officer system. Like Lao Yang.  Those under the Logistics Department who are engaged in equipment maintenance and repair, and those who are skilled in operating missiles and computers, have no real skills. This is not something that ordinary soldiers who can shoot and charge can do. The US military is very powerful and they have perfect non-commissioned officers.  The system also has something to do with it, and some people are just suitable to be soldiers. We should also keep a group of outstanding people in the army. At the moment, we don¡¯t have many technical soldiers in the army, but Xiao Qi has provided us with a large number of instructor-style talents.  , I think we should start to vigorously cultivate a new type of non-commissioned officers, and let these non-commissioned officers become the main force of our army. Although soldiers come and go, these capable non-commissioned officers are still in the army, and the combat effectiveness of our army will always be there."

    Qi Yiming didn't expect this at first. Now he nodded repeatedly and said: "That's right, we should establish a non-commissioned officer system, and the non-commissioned officers will support the main body of the entire army's combat effectiveness. I will focus on sending a batch of technical personnel to each army.  "For officers, we help commanders and fighters at all levels master a skill. Those who master it well will be retained to serve the army as non-commissioned officers."

    Of course, this kind of meeting will not be about formulating specific implementation methods. If everyone nods and approves something, it will naturally be taken to the next level and someone will do it, and then the feedback will be given to the bosses for review.  Of course, Qi Yiming usually won't appear there when reviewing.

    Yang Dezhi spoke again: "Our army should also strengthen the construction of special forces. In the future, there will be less need for large-scale organic units. This group of talents is the most likely to be sent to the battlefield. The navy should also do a good job in the navy.  The Marine Corps and Air Force improve the level of their own airborne combat units."

    ??Everyone said something to me, and the discussion didn¡¯t end until the evening.  In the end, the shocking plan of laying off 2 million people in ten years was achieved, and Qi Yiming was filled with emotions.generous.
