【333】American conscription

Truman was angry, he is the president of a country, the president of the United States!No one can tease him like this.

In order to strengthen his tone, Truman kept the palm of his right hand down, his middle finger curled up, and kept tapping on the table nervously, emphasizing to General Bradley:

"If his request is met, it means that all offensive units of the US Army in Western Europe and the mainland will be transferred! Europe will become a basic vacuum except for the Army's defensive base garrison and a few independent regiments and combat brigades state! And the United States will only be able to rely on 60 National Guards to defend!

In case something happens to these eight army divisions... No!I must not allow it!This is simply a joke!

Now is not the time of World War II. We do not have 1000 million troops. According to the 200 million military personnel limit stipulated by Congress after the war, after deducting the navy and air force, we have 80 troops.On this basis, add the Army General Reserve and National Guard!We only have an army of 150 million and [-] main divisions!

But we still have to maintain 1245 military bases around the world!I have no spare teachers for him! "

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Omar Bradley, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army, could not help but become worried when faced with such a realistic shortcoming, and fell into a long silence.

It is only right for Truman to have such worries.These days, the main heavy armored division of the U.S. military is basically close to 3 people, which is roughly equivalent to the strength of a regular army of the Volunteer Army in history, that is, the strength of three volunteer infantry divisions.This so-called main heavy armor division is actually a group army!Generally, it combines artillery regiment, tank regiment, engineer battalion, supply battalion, air defense battalion, chemical defense battalion, helicopter company, communication company, reconnaissance company, ordnance company, medical team, gendarmerie and all auxiliary arms that help to improve combat effectiveness!It can be said that the size and complexity of this kind of fake division and real group army is equivalent to or even surpassing that of our army's large corps with three armies and nine divisions.For example, the ace division of the US military, the 9st Marine Division, is one of these freak divisions.

As for combat effectiveness, it is fair to say that this kind of freak division is still higher than a large corps of 9 to 10 in our army.At that time, our army's conventional large corps could not recruit a group of aircraft for air support, battlefield interdiction, and ground arrest with a single phone call. It also did not have the configuration of a tank regiment under its jurisdiction, and it was impossible to support the logistics of Van Fleet's ammunition. Security, and the ability to continuously airlift supplies and send away the wounded after being besieged is simply a myth in our opinion.

We only have fighters, the best fighters in the world, a group of fighters armed with millet and rifles, a group of top fighters who have exploding land combat experience in more than ten years of combat, and a group of fighters armed to the teeth with the chairman's ideology.

According to the NATO war game deduction, the numerical combat power estimated by integrating various factors such as weapons and equipment, communications, tactics, logistics, air-ground coordination, etc., the main heavy armored division of the United States is at least the same force with millet plus rifles 2.5 to 3 times that of the Volunteer Army.

Even the ordinary main infantry divisions of the U.S. Army, such as the 11000th Infantry Division with 24 people under the Eighth Army, or the First Cavalry Division with 17000 people, and the Third Infantry Division with 18000 people, etc., generally have a strength of 15000. Floating left and right, the reason for this is that divisions belong to various brigades, especially the functional auxiliary organizations, such as combat aviation brigades, attack helicopter battalions, chemical battalions, amphibious combat brigades, transport aircraft battalions and subordinate transport aircraft repair companies, etc., often It was flexibly deployed and assigned to other legions that were carrying out missions and going to the front line.

When the U.S. military is fighting, the infantry divisions under the group army never act alone, and always bring the artillery regiments, tank regiments, and air defense regiments of the group army... If they feel that it is not enough, they will bring combat aviation brigades, attack helicopters, etc. Regiment, anti-tank battalion, aviation repair company, and even military bands, etc... a large number of auxiliary organizations acted together, so when the Eighth Army came to North Korea, it seemed that it only brought the 24th Infantry Division. It has reached more than 25000 people, which is equivalent to a main heavy infantry division.The military artillery regiment brought only one this time, and another artillery regiment and three anti-aircraft artillery battalions were left in Japan for the time being.

After the war, the U.S. Army generally adopts the establishment of two divisions. The various auxiliary arms of the group army cooperate with the two divisions round-the-clock rolling attacks or alternate left and right flank assaults. The two infantry divisions can take turns, but each division The offensive ability of the group army's auxiliary arms is equivalent to that of a main heavy armored division.

Truman will never allow it, and eight of the only thirteen infantry divisions in the US military will go to North Korea!Without him, this is too cheating.

General Omar Bradley silently swallowed the cold cup of coffee in his hand, and said with difficulty:

"Only twelve days! The Korean People's Army has occupied Cheonan, and the situation is indeed very serious.

Cheonan is the transportation hub of South Korea. According to reliable sources, North Korea has invested in the No.13 and No.15 infantry divisions as reserves in an attempt to open up Cheonan-Gunsan-Jeonju-Suncheon-Jinju -Traffic on the first line of Busan.Another three militia divisions were strengthened to the front line of Seoul for defense and logistical line support. Their goal was only one, and that was Busan!They want to completely cut off our supply lifeline between Japan and North Korea!

In this traffic route from Cheonan to Busan distributed on the plain, there are plain rice fields between each city, and there is no danger at all. The opponent's infantry group can flexibly fight in a roundabout way, whether it is to cut off a point or encircle each other. , It all depends on the amount of troops invested!

Since the loss of Seoul, we can no longer find the easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack places that can easily cut off North and South Korea by relying on only one city.The reason why all the dynasties of Korea have set their capital in Seoul is because it can easily cut off the connection between the north and the south, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In the face of the heavy North Korean troops rushing into the southern plains, we must come up with enough troops. I think MacArthur means that he needs eight divisions, not eight main divisions. "

Truman was dumbfounded.

Having figured out the key point, he rolled his eyes and said, "How many people are there in the Army General Reserve?"

General Omar Bradley said: "14 people, of which 5000 are responsible for civilian and maintenance work, and 12 people can be supplemented into various basic establishments."

Truman knew that the so-called basic organizational system was those skeleton infantry regiments that were almost empty except for commanders, officers, and key non-commissioned officers. The sole purpose of the existence of these ghostly infantry regiments was to rapidly expand the army during wartime.

"Okay, but that's all.

General Bradley, you understand that the Internal Service has not enlisted anyone for active service for 18 months, and now the Ministry of Defense must start enlisting immediately, and all young men at the age of 18 must be registered as soon as possible.In addition, according to the old method during World War II, about 20 civilians were hired from the society to replace the work of these original reserve soldiers. "

Chief of Staff Omar Bradley nodded and said: "After completing the enlistment of this batch of reserve soldiers, the future recruitment of soldiers will follow the principle of 1+1, one National Guard member plus one new recruit to join the army, and provide them for the battles that require front-line soldiers. establishment."

........................

When the news of the general conscription came out, the whole of America was outraged!

A National Guard member in Seattle, Wager, the owner of a bakery, stood at the conscription office and angrily questioned the major in charge of the conscription bureau: "Mr. Major! I participated in World War II! For this country Bleeding! I got a Silver Star! I'm a husband and a father now! Why am I going to fight for the young men of this country! I'm a National Guardsman, yes, but you know, in America, this is just an honor! If I had known that I would have to bid farewell to my family once again to go to a battlefield in a foreign land, I would never have accepted this worthless honor!"

The Major John from the Military Service Bureau was speechless when he was questioned. He just shook his head slightly, lowered his head, and said softly in a voice that he couldn't even hear: "I hate this job..."

The same situation is happening all over the United States. Angry citizens, especially veterans and their families in the National Guard and Coast Guard, almost kicked the threshold of the Military Service Bureau and the city hall.

As for young people in America, not a single one is interested in going to war, being cannon fodder for a big-headed soldier, and then being scolded and dispatched by officers like dogs learning new tricks.They come up with all kinds of ways to avoid military service, such as submitting applications to go to college, and the draft bureau generally does not bother young people who are admitted to college.There are also high-level people who simply find connections to join the National Guard. You must know that there is a sequence from the National Guard to active duty. Unless all those who joined before you are recruited into the army, it will not be your turn.Later generations of Bush Jr. used this method to escape military service. He relied on his powerful father to get into the National Guard through the back door, and escaped the catastrophe of the national conscription during the Vietnam War!In the United States, the children of powerful and wealthy families basically use such and such methods to easily let those "citizens of the free world" replace them as cannon fodder on the front lines.

........................

Xiaoqiang is getting married soon.

Probably because of Secretary Yang’s instructions, there are obviously fewer troubles for Xiaoqiang in the secretariat. The chiefs of other departments often come to Xiaoqiang’s place to deal with many documents transferred to Xiaoqiang by other departments, just picking up the most important ones. I just asked Xiaoqiang for instructions.

Xiaoqiang and Meng Sisi thought it over, and finally decided to invite Meng Sisiyuan's family in Puhai to Beidu to attend the wedding banquet.

Originally, according to Xiaoqiang's intention, the two of them only needed to organize a small private dinner, and that's all.At that time, invite a few leaders and colleagues, call a few acquaintances and friends, drink a few cups, and enter the bridal chamber slightly drunk, and the meaning of the wedding will come.For Xiaoqiang who hates cumbersome etiquette, this is enough.As for Meng Sisi's parents, just let me know in the telegram. If I have the opportunity to go to Puhai in the future, I will invite her parents and relatives in the south to have a meal together, that's all.

But when he came to Meng Sisi's dormitory, Xiaoqiang realized that something was wrong after he said this.

Meng Sisi's big eyes that could almost talk blinked, her long eyelashes flickered a few times, and two lines of clear tears flowed down her rosy, pink and tender cheeks on her long oval face.

Xiaoqiang was dumbfounded, how could he have the ability to deal with a woman crying, let alone Meng Sisi, who is so graceful and charming.Whenever a woman cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself three times, she has to use them one by one. If the man is not a bastard, he must not be able to delay the second and third steps.Xiaoqiang is neither a turtle nor a bastard, so as soon as Meng Sisi cried, he knew that the wedding matter was not up to him.

"Xiaoqiang, do you dislike me?"

"Don't, Sisi, don't cry. I like you and love you before it's too late. I want to treat you as a guest and live together forever, so I want to marry you. How can I despise you."

"Then why do you look down on my family?"

Xiaoqiang almost fainted when he heard the words.

He remembered the motto of a love saint senior in the university: "If a woman is unreasonable to you, then congratulations, she loves you."
