Soldiers Assault: Veteran Special Recruits

"In the Industrial Age..."

Long Xiaoyun sat on the stage and talked eloquently: "Mechanized warfare is large-scale, with a long front and a vast battlefield. This has created a tree-like combat command system that connects the highest command to the grassroots, from top to bottom, from left to right, and is long vertically and narrow horizontally.

With the development of information technology and the increasing role and status of information warfare in modern warfare, this constitution has gradually exposed various drawbacks.

The information flow is long, and there is no horizontal communication between units of the same level, or between reconnaissance systems and weapons. Information must be transferred through superiors, resulting in poor anti-destruction capabilities.

The disastrous defeat of the Iraqi army in the Gulf War proved that this top-down, highly centralized command system is now outdated.

Therefore, the organizational structure of warfare entering the 21st century needs to be significantly adjusted.

In particular, we need to transition from a hierarchical structure to a network structure. Our First Division developed and promoted the E5W system to adapt to the needs of this structural transformation.

The main feature of this structure is that it is horizontally connected and vertically integrated. This horizontal connection is..."

"Teacher, I have something to add."

Jing Xiaoshu suddenly stood up to make a report, interrupting Long Xiaoyun's lecture, which was very rude in a sense and caused an uproar in the audience.

"Speaking!"

However, Long Xiaoyun didn't mind, and even agreed with great anticipation.

"I think your summary of the characteristics of this command system is not complete enough. You should add a flat shape so that as many combat units as possible are at the same level of information flow..."

Jing Xiaoshu is one of the top talents in this industry. It is not difficult for him to switch from civilian to military use, so he described it vividly.

However, when Political Commissar Lu saw this young major, he felt very unfamiliar with him as he had never seen him before.

Curiously, he asked Jackie Chan next to him in a low voice: "Who am I, comrade? Why haven't I seen me before?"

"He, he is the Jing Xiaoshu I told you about." Jackie Chan replied.

"Is that the hacker who came back from the United States?" Political Commissar Lu said with a frown.

"hacker?"

Jackie Chan smiled and said, "That's understandable. He specializes in software development, and strictly speaking, he and hackers are the same kind of people."

"Isn't that right?"

Political Commissar Lu frowned even deeper, and as he stood up, he whispered, "Come out for a moment, let's talk."

Jackie Chan could guess from Political Commissar Lu's expression why he was frowning, and thinking that he had to explain anyway, he simply followed him out.

"The special recruitment procedures haven't been completed yet, but Jing Xiaoshu has already put on the military uniform. What's wrong with Long Xiaoyun? He is too bold." Political Commissar Lu said angrily as soon as he went out.

"It's not her fault. I agreed to it," said Jackie Chan.

"You agree?" Lu Yunhe was very surprised.

"Correct."

Jackie Chan did not think that his decision was wrong, and said frankly: "You didn't participate, so you don't know that the country is developing rapidly now, and all places are competing for talents. If you hesitate for a moment, you may miss out on talents.

The E5W system has reached a critical moment, and Jing Xiaoshu is needed to take charge of the situation, so we can only let him get on the bus first, and then buy a ticket later, and do it while we work. "

"You are so anxious that you have lost your mind. Don't you know that this is against the rules?" Lu Yunhe said with great sorrow.

"Yes, this is a bit out of line, but there is no other way. For the development of the E5W system, some things must be done." Jackie Chan said in a firm voice.

"Cadre policy is like a high-voltage line. You cannot touch it. No matter how urgent it is, you cannot violate the regulations. You can't be confused. In my opinion, the military uniform must be taken off immediately before the situation deteriorates further." Political Commissar Lu insisted.

"He is working day and night, and the research and development has reached the most critical time. How can we do this? I can't do something that goes back on my word." Jackie Chan also has his persistence.

"Well, since you don't want to talk to him, I'll be the bad guy and go talk to him."

Political Commissar Lu insisted solemnly and advised: "No matter how good your intentions are, a violation is a violation. If this matter causes trouble for the division and yourself, I must deal with it."

"Well, let me do it. I can handle it. Give me some time," said Jackie Chan.

"The sooner the better, understand?"

Jackie Chan was so insistent that Lu Yunhe, as the political commissar, had no choice but to leave.

Jackie Chan has been in the military for two lifetimes, how could he not know that it was against the rules?

The reason why he dared to do this was that he had the confidence. It would not be as serious as Political Commissar Lu said, and it would not affect the division.

……

military region.

Deputy Commander Zhong organized all the relevant persons in charge of the establishment of the First Division to drink tea outdoors and discuss the progress of the establishment of the First Division.

"Recently, Jackie Chan of the First Division submitted a 50,000-word report as the acting division commander. He proposed some new ideas for the problems that the First Division will face in the process of further developing its combat effectiveness. We can discuss them together today."

After Deputy Commander Zhong made an opening statement, Minister Wang immediately followed up the topic and said: "The ideas proposed by Jackie Chan are mainly reflected in the following aspects.

1. The First Division can decide on its own whether cadres below the regimental level should stay or go.

Second, senior professional and technical personnel can be recruited at any time and awarded corresponding military ranks and technical titles without occupying special recruitment quotas.

3. Special talents and academic leaders will receive allowances several times their monthly salary in addition to their monthly salary.

Fourth, it is required that the military chief and the political chief be replaced in the entire division. "

Minister Wang said that Long had made four suggestions. Deputy Commander Zhong said to everyone, "How about it, everyone? Let's talk about it."

The establishment of the First Division was a large project, involving people from all departments of the military region.

Deputy Commander Zhong is the leader, and there are more than a dozen team members.

"I think I've figured out that Jackie Chan is asking for power from the military region. Isn't that a bit unrealistic?" said the short colonel.

"We can't raise a hive of bees. In the end, we won't get to eat the honey and we'll lose the hive." said the colonel with a mole on the corner of his eyebrow.

What follows is a flurry of gossip.

"The establishment of the First Division is a good thing, but if it is not managed well, and if a request is made today and an idea is proposed tomorrow, what will the other troops think? Wouldn't it be a mess once it is started?"

"Jackie Chan came from the special operations force. When he was in the special operations force, he was a restless guy."

"Yes, he is an out-of-line person. If he is given too much power, it will lead to criminal out-of-control, and he might do more out-of-line things."

……

A large group of people talked to each other and found a lot of problems in an instant.

It is not difficult to hear from their words that their control over power is in their bones.

Once power is involved, everyone gets angry. Whether it's the captains of the First Division or the cadres in the military region, they all look the same.

Only one bald colonel expressed a different opinion.

"I think Jackie Chan must have his reasons for making these demands. The current system of our army restricts the construction and development of the army in many aspects.

The First Division needs to develop in the direction of digitalization and face war under modern conditions. It is understandable that they want to speed up the pace of reform. "

What the bald colonel said actually makes a lot of sense, and it is completely based on the development of the army.

But his words refuted most people present. The short colonel immediately retorted: "I don't think this trend can be allowed to continue. If each unit does what it wants and does things on its own, then wouldn't it become a multinational force, a ragtag army, and a group of outlaws? This is unacceptable."

The colonel with the mole on his eyebrow corner was in the same camp as the short guy, and he immediately chimed in, saying, "I do admit that some of these suggestions are good.

But the timing is not right yet, it is far from that point, and it is impossible to implement it. I think it will take some time. "

Some people actually supported the short colonel, who exaggerated and said, "We have recently received several letters reporting that the First Division's Jackie Chan recruited local personnel without anyone's approval.

He also issued orders and awarded military ranks, which was simply a joke of military law, and he treated the First Division as his personal property. "

Regardless of who leaked the information, it could have been Wu Yiwen or Gui Pingyuan. Colonel Aidun spoke so seriously that it was obviously targeted.

When Deputy Commander Zhong heard that Jackie Chan had privately recruited people, his face immediately fell and he asked seriously, "Is this true?"

"We are verifying it now. However, judging from this report and Jackie Chan's behavior, this is entirely possible," replied Colonel Aidun.

"Then go and verify it quickly and talk about it after verification."

Deputy Commander Zhong was very optimistic about Jackie Chan and did not want to see him make a mistake, so he changed the subject and asked, "Any news about Wu Yiwen recently?"

"Everyone from top to bottom has a good reaction to him. He can find his place in the team and is very respectful to the acting commander Jackie Chan. He has supported Jackie Chan in many meetings and public occasions to maintain his dignity."

Minister Wang gave Wu Yiwen a high evaluation, and then added: "I also heard that he wrote down the six words you gave him, "Pull the biased set and use the right strength", and pressed them under the glass of his desk, and implemented them well in his actual work."

"hehe."

The deputy commander smiled with a complicated meaning, then took a long breath and said: "I am prepared for the reactions from all sides to Jackie Chan. After all, he is a cross-level appointment, and the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

I just didn't expect it to be so strong. Recently I have received letters almost every day reporting on him, with all kinds of problems.

Although most of them are anonymous, it seems that they are not all groundless now. "

As the saying goes: Three people make a tiger.

Deputy Commander Zhong was very optimistic about Jackie Chan and believed that he could build a good First Division, so he insisted on letting Jackie Chan cross over to serve as acting division commander.

But now, after a long period of bombardment, the people above also have quite a few opinions.

Deputy Commander Zhong's resolute heart was obviously shaken.

What he said is the evidence.

Minister Wang could see the changes in Deputy Commander Zhong. He had received a call from Jackie Chan before and could vaguely guess something, so he couldn't help but worry about Jackie Chan.

In order to prevent any misunderstanding, Minister Wang took the initiative to ask Deputy Commander Zhong: "Do you think I should go there and find out the situation?"

"People say that I poked a hornet's nest. I can't just watch the hornets sting people and hide away. Let's go together," said Deputy Commander Zhong.

"Then when are we going?" Minister Wang asked.

"I'll leave tomorrow. Secretary Zhang has also asked me to go to Linzhou tomorrow to discuss building a reservoir," said Minister Wang.

"I heard that the construction of the reservoir was initiated by Gao Cheng. This was the first thing he did after taking office as the commander of the Linzhou Military Sub-district," said Minister Wang.

"Really?"

Deputy Commander Zhong said in surprise: "The construction of Linzhou Reservoir was proposed several times before, but it was vetoed by the army. I didn't expect him to be the promoter."

"The thing Linzhou lacks most is water. Now that the First Division is stationed there, the water problem really needs to be solved as soon as possible," said Minister Wang.

"Let's talk to him then."

Deputy Commander Zhong calmed down and then changed the topic to other aspects.

the next day.

After receiving the notice, everyone at the First Division Headquarters, led by Jackie Chan and Lu Yunhe, gathered on the lawn of the division headquarters to welcome the arrival of Deputy Commander Zhong.

As a result, the waiting time had long passed, but Deputy Commander Zhong's helicopter did not arrive.

Jackie Chan and Political Commissar Lu were both surprised.

Deputy Commander Zhong is a very punctual person, so he really dislikes people who are not on time. Logically, this kind of thing should not happen.

But Deputy Commander Zhong is the superior, and I can't call him to ask or urge him.

I can only wait in the playground.

In fact, Deputy Commander Zhong had arrived a long time ago, but he deliberately wanted to take them by surprise and did not go to the division headquarters to meet Jackie Chan and others right away.

Instead, he chose to conduct a surprise inspection of the brigade under the First Division without any notice.

The first stop is the Engineering Battalion.

Park the helicopter at the training ground of the Engineer Battalion, on a mountaintop platform with three packages, observe the Engineer Battalion from the mountain, and obtain first-hand information.

The head of the engineering battalion soon discovered Deputy Commander Zhong and Minister Wang who appeared on the top of the mountain.

On the one hand, he hurried over to receive the two of them, and on the other hand, he sent someone to drive to the division headquarters as quickly as possible to notify everyone who was still waiting on the playground.

Jackie Chan, Political Commissar Lu and others welcomed Deputy Commander Zhong, and according to regulations, none of them brought mobile phones.

The phone call is not connected, and the only way to report it is through manual communication.

When the messenger rushed over to inform Jackie Chan and Political Commissar Lu that Deputy Commander Zhong had arrived, Political Commissar Lu immediately expressed his willingness to go over.

However, the communicator immediately said that Deputy Commander Zhong would not let anyone pass and should continue with their daily work.

As long as Deputy Commander Wu goes there, it will be fine!

When Jackie Chan and Political Commissar Lu heard this strange order, they looked at each other in confusion, and for a moment they could not guess what Deputy Commander Zhong intended to do.

The other ministers and staff officers in the headquarters were also confused by this order.

Only Wu Yiwen's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly hid it. At first glance, no one could find anything unusual.
