Chapter 282 Great Mediation(1/2)
.
January 2014, the New Year just passed, the breeze was at the airport.
Xiao Qiang held Yang Kevic's hand and said affectionately: "I'll ask you to the moon base, and I'll take care of you." Behind him are all senior officials at the African base.
Decades have passed, and Yangkovic is also in his sixties, and his body is still strong.
He held Xiao Qiang's hand and looked at the base officials behind Xiao Qiang, all of whom were middle-aged and young people in their forties or fifties, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. The old guys in the past either went to the moon or retired to become state affairs and advisers.
Two months after Xiao Qiang returned to the African base, he praised the achievements of the African base in recent years and gave high praise to many scientific researchers and officers. He was very satisfied with Zheng Fei and others' decisive handling and quickly eliminating the surrounding dilemma. He presided over many meetings and expressed his idea of gradually gradually rewarding merits from bottom to top. All the African bases were happy and encouraged.
A month later, Xiao Qiang dispatched a large number of security team members who had followed him for a long time and established an internal assessment office of the company.
The Assessment Office first conducted a comprehensive assessment of all officers at the African base, and rewarded and promoted thousands of middle and low-level non-commissioned officers and lieutenants. These first- and middle-level officers who had been tested for a long time, were loyal, capable, and had no faction, and had gained the opportunity to advance to the next level and served as deputys of their original superiors.
Xiao Qiang's affirmation of their work ability and the quick fulfillment of his promise of promotion made these low-level and junior officers very grateful.
His vigorous and decisive commendation measures also allowed higher-level officers to see hope for promotion. They were all full of expectations. After completing the grassroots assessment tasks, the staff of the Assessment Office soon began to evaluate the work of school-level officers. When interviewing these officers, they were very kind-hearted and vaguely revealed that the boss would like to value them.
The whole army was full of joy during these days. Everyone was calculating how many points they might get after the contributions they made over the years. These points determine the headquarters' assessment results, and ultimately affect which level of officer they can serve as, and are directly linked to their salary.
After three months of running-in, the first batch of senior non-commissioned officers gradually became familiar with their jobs. Their direct superiors actively cooperated with them with expectations for their future positions and were willing to let go and let them do it.
Xiao Qiang used the method of giving everyone hope. Without any resistance, he eliminated the factional hills of armed forces at the grassroots level.
The second batch of commendation orders will be announced later.
This time, unlike the first batch of large-scale promotions, only sixty-nine officers below the captain and lieutenant colonel were promoted.
This also conforms to the principle of gradual improvement from bottom to top. No one has any objection.
The only one who is the same as the first batch of promotion lists is this group of people, all of whom have been assessed for a long time, absolutely loyal and without any background. They quickly took office according to the transfer order and became battalion-level commanders, and after the assessment was eliminated from the superior commander. After concentrated study, they actually obtained command authority.
Not everyone has seen the trick.
However, when Xiao Qiang was exchanging opinions with senior officers alone, he said that in order to stabilize, he would gradually improve his meaning from bottom to top.
Therefore, when the first batch of promotion lists were announced, the fair assessment of the Assessment Department did not cause any rebound.
On the contrary, the officers of higher-level local officials saw the opportunity to move forward and actively cooperated with the promotion of junior and middle-level commanders in the area to be familiar with their positions and handed over their work.
Hilltopism is usually concentrated in the top leaders. The higher the officers, the more hilltopism exists. The so-called people have a place of martial arts. It is not uncommon for humans to gain greater benefits. In African bases, there are mainly two major forces: Yangkovic, a group of former Soviet troops from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, and the security team members sent by Zheng Fei and Xiao Qiang.
Among them, they are divided into small hills according to their light distances.
These hills do not mean to replace Xiao Qiang's leadership, and they actually play a balance between mutual restraint and restraint.
Therefore, when these officers actually took command of the company level below the company level, Xiao Qiang was equal to the other party's cooperation and easily dismantled the power of the Shantou corps below the company level.
After that, before the second batch of promotion lists were announced, the Assessment Office announced a batch of lists, allowing them to study at the headquarters in a concentrated manner.
All those who received the notice were ecstatic.
They think this is a signal, a signal that they are about to gain improvement.
Every school-level officer who received the notification from the Assessment Office called his friends and gathered together with their respective groups to show congratulations. Everyone was happy and congratulated each other, extremely happy.
As soon as they arrived at the headquarters and started to study in a concentrated manner, they were confiscated to "study with peace of mind" in a closed environment.
At this time, some people began to feel something was wrong.
But all the guards who were responsible for managing the officers' school were guards who had followed Xiao Qiang for decades. Under their considerate care, even a piece of paper could not be delivered.
At the same time, the second batch of appointments and removals were announced.
With the assistance of the Assessment Office, these 69 school-level officers immediately gained control of the main combat forces of the African base with lightning speed.
After a short-term rectification, the third list was also announced.
More than 100 school-level officers were appointed to serve as deputy, staff, logistics and other positions who had just mastered the command power of the battalion and regiment level. Together with the first batch of promoted junior officers, they successfully controlled the reshuffled troops in their hands, obeying Xiao Qiang alone.
At the same time, some officers in the army who were originally transferred to concentrate on studying were closer to some important positions, either took off their military uniforms and became professional staff members of government departments, or entered senior officer schools to study.
As soon as this signal was sent, everyone knew. Xiao Qiang wanted to gain control of the army.
But it was too late and no one could threaten his status.
Including the National Guard, company security personnel, and reserve personnel, all armed forces at the African base are only 50,000. Even if they are compiled by one thousand people per regiment, there are only 50 regiments in total.
What's more, except for some small-scale peripheral armed personnel, there are not yet fifty regiments within the elite troops.
Xiao Qiang's second and third batch appointment lists were equivalent to reorganizing all the armed forces at the base and dividing them into parallel forty-two regiment-level combat units.
A series of personnel changes. Xiao Qiang cleverly gained his absolute control over the African base.
After another year, the officers who had been studying for more than a year have passed
Graduated. Under Xiao Qiang's instruction, the security measures of the Universal Company were established in the General Staff Department, the Security Brigade Liaison Office (equivalent to the Division Department) and other framework institutions. Xiao Qiang has decided that in the future, the company will mostly be dispatched on the scale of a brigade. The Security Brigade Liaison Office will be mainly responsible for coordination and no longer be able to directly order. This is equivalent to abolishing the division-level command organs.
These former battalion regiment-level commanders were indeed promoted. They were all promoted to the rank of colonel or above, and there were several generals.
But they also completely lost command of the troops and became civilian soldiers.
Their daily work is to think, study the map in the office, and formulate corresponding plans. Submit it to the committee for discussion.
The commanders on the highest level part went to the moon and integrated into the moon security department commanded by Xiao Jianjun. Most of them became senior researchers in the security countermeasures research office specially established by Xiao Qiang, and became a similar national condition to the advice. They enjoyed generous treatment, but since then they left the military and no longer held any position.
In general, Xiao Qiang is still very caring for these elderly people.
Although he completely deprived them of military rights, he also gave them very generous treatment. The extremely high profits of Universal Company can also support their high welfare policies. These people are also valued and respected by him, and they always listen to their opinions. As long as they have no other ideas, under the highest level of welfare treatment, they can enjoy their old age comfortably.
As for Zheng Fei, because he was indeed hardworking, very capable, and not very old, Xiao Qiang transferred him to the moon to serve as the newly established Space Security Department, Commander of the First Fleet, and First Deputy Director of the Security Department.
Xiao Jianjun is now working as the director in the Moon Security Department. When he is old, he is rejuvenated and full of energy. He stops playing chess. He walks every day and seems to be back to his youth, full of energy.
He and Zheng Fei, the old superiors and subordinates, gathered together again on the moon.
In addition to assisting him in handling the security department and helping him provide advice, Zheng Fei almost didn't care much about the First Fleet. Instead, he threw it to the deputy commander of the First Fleet for management.
The deputy commander of the First Fleet, the captain of the space warship. All his men were only one space warship and more than one hundred people.
Unlike Zheng Fei's contempt for the space fleet, he has a heartfelt love for space warships.
Like the ground electromagnetic turret, space warships use electromagnetic cannons as the main attack method. Through electromagnetic force, solid projectiles are shot at super-high speed to 100,000 kilometers away, hitting the target.
The range of strikes of both exceeds 100,000 kilometers, making it the weapon with the largest control area and the farthest strike range in human history.
But this is just like the navy and coastal turrets. Within the same fire attack range, space warships can dodge, while land turrets can only be set in place and bear the opponent's attack. The firepower of the two is the same, but they retain vitality, and space warships are far more powerful than ground turrets.
As the first maneuverable strike of mankind in space, the First Fleet has a very important position, and the deputy commander of the Fleet is also very optimistic about its future development. He sincerely hopes that the new warship can be built as soon as possible and supplemented into his First Fleet.
However, his hope is destined to fail.
Within the expected time limit, Xiao Qiang did not intend to strengthen the strength of the First Fleet without limit.
The ultra-long-range attacks of space warships are too terrifying. Under the existing technical conditions, neither the Earth nor the Moon has the corresponding defensive power to deal with attacks from space.
If the First Fleet grew rapidly, it is hard to say that the commander with confidence would be inflated. He would make stupid moves, even aiming his muzzle at the earth.
Therefore, the second space warship under construction will have another fleet commander and another captain.
His goal is to build a space combat force with six space warships. These warships have their own independent fleet organization to restrict each other.
Although space warships have strong force, they have few members after all. The supplies are all provided by the ground.
Just like the Ocean Fleet, if you finally have to return to your home port to replenish supplies, the space Fleet also needs to return to the lunar base often for maintenance and replenish various supplies.
Without the threat of large-scale warfare at the moment, six space warships that carry out independent missions are enough to deal with various problems.
They are guarding against each other and can also ensure that this wandering force does not turn the gun and aim the target at themselves.
Only when the six fleets are configured soundly will they consider gradually enhancing their strength. Moreover, at most, each fleet will be raised to the level of having two space warships. The remaining small warships mainly composed of laser weapons and space fighters will be built to form a high and low space fleet.
Yangkovic saw Xiao Qiang's idea very early, so he paid great attention not to interfere in any military affairs.
He asked Xiao Qiang several times. He was old and was disheartened when he fled from the Soviet Union. He felt that he could masturbate with such achievements under Xiao Qiang. As time passed, he also worked in administrative affairs at an African base for more than 20 years. Recently, he gradually felt overwhelmed, so he hoped to retreat and rest and truly enjoy the leisurely old age life.
Xiao Qiang thanked him every time, thanked him for his contribution to the company, and rejected his request for retirement. He said that he had rich administrative experience and the company could not live without him. Even if he was about to retire, he hoped that he would use his remaining energy to cultivate young management talents for the African base and to shoulder heavy burdens.
Yangkovic understood what he meant. In the remaining two years, he tried his best to hand over all administrative affairs to others. Only when the other party really encountered difficulties and came to ask for advice would he give patient and detailed explanations and help.
Two years passed in a flash, and Xiao Qiang successfully put the African base in his hands.
He took action without any effort to eradicate all the mountain doctrines in the army. Subsequently, he delivered stern speeches at military meetings many times, strictly prohibiting mountain doctrines in the army, and requiring all officers to be clean and not to form cliques. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized that the army must stay away from politics and cannot intervene in administrative affairs.
Under the strict attention of the Assessment Office, all garrisons are not allowed to gather with local administrative officials, and no reason is valid.
If local administrative officials need strong department support, they first rely on the local police department. Only when the police department is unable to respond alone can they turn to local garrisons.
Moreover, they cannot directly make requests to the local garrison, but to make requests to the Universal Security Committee.
Administration and the military have become two different
The system, all dealings, adopt a single line contact facing the Security Committee.
Whenever a garrison is found to have contact with local administrative officials, the Assessment Department will warn him and ask him to explain the reasons.
After two warnings, if there is no necessary reason to be recognized by the security committee member, the third time it is discovered that the corresponding military commander will be directly removed from his position. Serious violations of discipline will be sent to the Special Investigation Office of the Security Team (Military Court) for trial.
It was under this series of measures that Xiao Qiang made a sub-large purge on the armed forces controlled by the African base. All the intricate relationship networks were cut off by him and ruthlessly removed. The relationship between the troops and local administrative units was also divided into two parts selflessly and had no direct contact.
The army has become a simple armed group.
However, there was no bloodshed in this purge. Xiao Qiang used gentle means to control the progress of the situation, and the old and new forces had a peaceful exchange of power, showing his super skills and abilities.
