Chapter 1427 (1/2)

Army reform continued until mid November. During this period, Jiang Chen either went back and forth between the sixth block and the fish bone base every day, or stayed in Marshal's house. When he was busy, he even prepared lunch and sent it to marshal's office.

Over the past two weeks, even Jiangchen himself was surprised that he could bring out so much enthusiasm for work.

Compared with the cost, the rewards of army reform are also quite amazing.

The overstaffed departments have been streamlined, and with the general headquarters as the core, the relations between the regiments have been greatly strengthened. The reorganized NAC army, like a sword after being polished again, radiates its former edge again.

For the time being, the combat effectiveness can not be directly displayed, but at least in terms of military expenditure, the effect is quite obvious.

According to statistics by Wang Qing, Minister of logistics, after the reform, the military budget of the four major legions has been reduced by at least 13%. The newly recruited soldiers have also been fully absorbed in the combat units at the division level and expanded by brigades instead of piling up in the first division as before.

In addition to the reform itself, as chief of staff, Han Junhua also put forward a supporting proposal.

With the expansion of NAC's territory, large-scale wars will be less and less, and on the contrary, small-scale conflicts will intensify. Whether it's fighting with predators, mutants, cannibal tribes, or heterogeneous communities, there will be only a lot more channels for grass-roots officers to perform meritorious deeds and advance in the future.

This also involves another problem, that is, the requirements for the professional knowledge and skills of officers. If we only regard military merit as the only standard for promotion, while neglecting the training of officers themselves, no one can guarantee that officers who are qualified for small-scale operations will be competent for large-scale operations, and the promoted ”king of war” will certainly become excellent generals.

After all, with the current development level of NAC, it is very difficult to meet an equal opponent, even in the battle at division level or above, not to mention the combat at the corps level. There are fewer and fewer opportunities for training senior officers in actual combat.

In this way, the final result is that there will be a number of officers with different qualities in the middle and upper ranks of NAC. Among them, there are talented people who can't do anything.

In order to solve this problem, Han Junhua's solution is also very simple.

That is to run a military academy!

Since we can't cultivate in practice, we should cultivate in theory first!

”I discussed with Chunan that we were going to rebuild a university on the original site of Wanghai university with five military academies and one engineering college temporarily.” With that, Jiang Chen took out a file from the drawer and threw it on the desk. Looking at Zheng Shanhe standing at his desk, he said with a smile, ”from tomorrow, you can report on the sixth block.”

”How can I hand over this skill to the students?” Zheng Shanhe was stunned at first and hurriedly said, ”let me fight without saying anything, but teach people -”

”I didn't ask you to be a teacher, you are the vice principal, so there are theorists to worry about teaching,” Jiang Chen waved. ”Your job is very simple, that is, focusing on the ideological education of students, and Military management of military academies. ”

The theorists in Jiang chenkou naturally refer to the Pan Asian cooperation officers and professors from military academies before the war. It's difficult to get these people to serve in the military government system, but it's OK to play a role in the education system.

”Well, what is the principal?” Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't intend to change his mind, Zheng Shanhe laughed bitterly and accepted the arrangement.

Although it is not Zheng Shanhe's ambition to leave the army to engage in education, as the captain of the pro guard, the Marshal's order is absolute.

”Principal? Why not Jiang Chen smiles and points to himself in the surprised sight of Zhengshan River, ”it's me of course.”

Such a key position, of course, has to be grasped in their own hands. Even if he doesn't do anything, the work is left to the vice principal and the dean of each department. He, the marshal, must also put his name on the headmaster's seat. After all, this is the talent training base of the future NAC military government, and its influence on the whole NAC officer system is self-evident.

Even if we don't think about it, half of the NAC officers system will be his students. It's amazing to talk about it.

After learning that the headmaster of the military academy was Jiang Chen himself, Zheng Shanhe's last reluctance disappeared. He gave a military salute to Jiang Chen with his right fist and left the Marshal's office with his own files.

Although it's a pity that he left the military system, at least he was not marginalized.

From the selection of the headmaster, we can see that the marshal attaches great importance to this military academy. Even though the position of the vice president made him have a lot of regrets, he did a good job in the future, and there are still many opportunities for promotion.
