Chapter 273 Conquering the Leader with Hard Power
Before Gao Cheng became a company commander, his father had already become the head of the army group.

Now that so many years have passed, it has come as no surprise that Commander Gao has reached a higher level and is reaching the ceiling of the group army with the strength of a two-star.

Chen Jun has had interactions with many senior leaders, and two-star leaders are not uncommon, and even three-star leaders are not uncommon.

But this is the first time I have had a private family dinner with Erxing.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous.

Fortunately, he had experienced a lot in his past few lives, which had trained him to remain calm in the face of emergencies. Even if he was nervous, he could still look calm on his face.

"It seems that the rumors are true. It is really extraordinary." Chief Gao nodded secretly with satisfaction.

Commander Gao was used to seeing all kinds of junior officers. Even division-level cadres would become extremely nervous when they saw him and would not even dare to breathe.

Chen Juncai was just a small lieutenant, but he could behave neither arrogantly nor servilely in front of him.

It is rare indeed!
"Xiao Chen, come and have some tea."

As they were talking, a woman came over. Her facial features were not very delicate, but her manner was very gentle and she looked very young, probably only in her thirties.

Especially the nose and mouth, which are exactly like Gao Cheng's.

The identity is clear at a glance.

"Thank you auntie."

Chen Jun immediately stood up and took the tea handed to him by Gao's mother.

"Xiao Chen, don't be shy. Just treat this place as your own home. Sit here and take a rest. The food will be ready soon."

Gao's mother warmly entertained Chen Jun, and then carefully told Gao Cheng: "Gao Cheng, it's rare for you to go home, so have a good chat with your father and talk about his recent work so that he can understand it."

After saying that, Gao's mother turned to Chief Gao again and said, "Old Gao, I'll leave this to you. I still have to cook."

"go Go."

Commander Gao waved his hand to show that he understood, then turned his attention to Chen Jun and said, "Chen Jun, how are the preparations for the tour lectures arranged by the military region going? If you have any difficulties, you can directly ask."

"Reporting to the commander, everything is ready. We will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity." Chen Jun said confidently.

"very good."

Commander Gao nodded in satisfaction, picked up the enamel cup beside him, drank a sip of water and said, "Recently, the military region has also been studying the tactics of synthetic forces, and they all think it may be a trend in future wars.

Although you are young and of low rank, you were able to form the first combined battalion in the entire army, which really impressed me.

Since we have the opportunity to sit down and chat, let's just chat about this topic. What do you think about the combined forces? "

Although Chief Gao said that he was just chatting casually, he was actually examining Chen Jun's basic skills.

Chen Jun is a talent who is at the forefront of the entire army. His influence is not limited to the battalion and regiment level, but also has a certain impact on the group army.

As the head of the group army, Commander Gao would naturally seek to gain a deeper understanding if he had the chance.

Chen Jun has high EQ and IQ, and he knew immediately that Commander Gao was testing his abilities. If he could perform well, it would be of great help to him in the future.

Since Chief Gao wants to talk about combined forces, Chen Jun naturally has to give full play to his role.

"Combined forces are indeed a hot topic. Foreign countries already have relatively mature systems, and China is also actively building tactical bases. All of these are enough to prove that it will definitely be one of the mainstreams in the future.

The so-called combined forces actually integrate infantry, armor, artillery, engineers, and even aviation to form a multi-service tactical body.

By reducing the intermediate command procedures, mobilization can be made more efficient, thereby improving overall combat effectiveness.

If we can have mature coordinated tactics and a more efficient command system, it is conservatively estimated that the combat effectiveness will at least double. "

When it comes to the area he is most familiar with, Chen Jun speaks fluently.

"It's indeed simple to say, but can the current level of technology and command system really support such complex coordinated operations?" asked Chief Gao.

“There are indeed many technical bottlenecks, but I think the direction is definitely right.”

Chen Jun continued to talk and said: "You see, in the Gulf War, the US military's "Air-Land Integrated Battle" has demonstrated the power of multi-service coordination.

Iraq, known as the strongest country in the Middle East, couldn't even last a hundred hours.

This war shocked the world, and it is enough to wake us up.

Although our equipment and information level are still far behind theirs, we can first explore the idea of ​​combined forces, study the combat methods of combined forces, and establish the main structure first.

As for the backwardness in equipment and technology, we can find ways to solve it. As long as we are willing to work hard, there is definitely a way to solve these problems."

The command system of the combined forces has been greatly refined, but the arms structure of the forces has become more complex.

There is a big problem here!

Solving this biggest problem is simple yet difficult.

The simplicity lies in that the method is not complicated and it can be done with just a command system. The difficulty lies in that no one can develop a command system.

These days, under the instigation of the bully Bald Eagle, countries around the world have imposed strict blockades on their countries.

Especially in the high-tech field, the requirements are even stricter.

Scientific and technological talents in the field of software development are extremely scarce "treasures" in all countries in this era when information technology is about to explode.

The country wants to get relevant talents, especially those who can develop military software.

The difficulty is no less than the two bombs back then.

In order to develop the key "five systems" needed for the Zhurihe Contract Tactical Base, the superiors basically drew away all the programming talents in the country.

Almost no one dared to think about the troops below developing a command system.

Commander Gao pointed out the key issue in one sentence. The difficulty lies in the development of combined tactics and command systems, proving that the military region is also studying combined forces.

Even the military districts under other war zones have been working hard to conduct research in this area.

However, these are still in the research stage, and there is no feasible specific plan at all. There is still a long way to go before real action can be taken.

Chen Jun was able to build a combined battalion from the most basic company.

This is a miracle!
It is absolutely impossible to copy!
"That makes sense, very well said."

Chief Gao was very satisfied with Chen Jun's answer and confirmed that Chen Jun was really capable.

Therefore, we started to raise the difficulty of the conversation and let Chen Jun analyze the difficulties in the military district's research process through this discussion.

“However, the difficulty of synthetic forces lies not only in technology and command system, but also in equipment and training programs, especially the coordination between different arms, which requires extremely high command efficiency and communication capabilities.

Our command system is still relatively traditional, and information transmission is slow. If it really reaches the battlefield, it will miss the opportunity to fight."

What Commander Gao said were all key points, which made Chen Jun realize that Commander Gao's understanding of the combined forces had probably reached a very deep level.

In order to leave a deep impression in the mind of Chief Gao.

Chen Jun had to be extremely alert.

"Uncle Gao, I think that the purpose of our military's major information reform this time is to make breakthroughs in these areas. The future synthetic forces must rely on information construction to establish an efficient command and control system.

In addition to developing key command systems, it is also necessary to develop or introduce digital communication equipment, and even try to develop its own satellite navigation and then integrate it with the battlefield perception system, so that it can be called a truly synthetic force.

However, these high-tech equipment and software cannot be developed overnight.

And we can't just sit here and wait stupidly because we don't have any equipment and waste our precious time.

I think that even if the conditions are limited now, we can first explore from the tactical level.

Research and development of contract tactics suitable for our army does not require the actual equipment to be put into use. We can first simulate it through assumptions.

That way, when the equipment is in place, we will be able to quickly build up combat effectiveness without having to start from scratch."

Chen Jun’s statement is very tempting and logically sound.

Even the high-ranking commander in charge of the army was touched by Chen Jun's words and began to look forward to it inexplicably. He asked impatiently, "Developing at the tactical level first is indeed a very good idea.

I think the 7th Steel Battalion that you are currently leading is also taking this path. I am quite curious about how you will develop your tactics next."

Chief Gao's interest was piqued, so Chen Jun naturally became more confident.

The answer was targeted: "The current idea is actually very simple, to use training instead of exercises, and exercises instead of combat, and to conduct a large number of simulation exercises during daily training.

By simulating the combat mode of combined forces, infantry, armored forces, artillery, engineers and other forces.

They work together continuously to provide fire support, open up paths, coordinate infantry and tanks, etc. They can be randomly combined in any way.

In this way, when the exercise begins, we can quickly engage in combat based on actual combat standards.

I think through this model, although there is no real digital system now, through rigorous training and plan design to simulate this synergy effect, it can definitely mature quickly at the tactical level.”

"Using training instead of performance, using performance instead of combat, good, very good, this is a very good method."

Commander Gao was amazed by Chen Jun's slogan and said "good" several times with joy. He couldn't wait to say: "When your Seventh Steel Battalion comes up with results and proves that it is indeed feasible, I will promote it to the entire group army, or even to the entire army.

However, I have a question. This style of play requires very high quality of soldiers. Not only do they need professional skills, but they also need to have a global awareness. The overall strength has been greatly improved. Can our soldiers adapt to it?"

Chief Gao's thinking was clear and logical, and he once again grasped the key core.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say."

Chen Jun was not at all flustered, and continued to speak smoothly: "The tactics of the combined forces are not only about upgrading equipment and command, but also about comprehensively improving the quality of soldiers.

Future wars will inevitably be high-tech wars. It will no longer be possible to rely on the advantages of a single type of military force to achieve overall victory.

In order to win a war, more high-tech investment is necessary. The more high-tech equipment there is, the fewer people are required, and the quality will continue to improve. This is inevitable logic.

Therefore, in order to adapt to future wars, our training model must change, the quality of soldiers must also change accordingly, and improving the overall cultural level is the most basic requirement. "

High-tech equipment requires more technology, and soldiers who cannot read and write are destined to be eliminated in the future.

"I understand now. No wonder you strongly requested that the battalion must be composed entirely of non-commissioned officers in the report on the formation of the combined battalion you submitted. It turns out that you had already made preparations. I am really surprised by your foresight."

For the first time, amazement appeared in Commander Gao's eyes, proving that he had been attracted by Chen Jun's talent.

"An all-noncommissioned officer battalion is not a hard requirement, and it is impossible to fully promote it in the future. Therefore, in the future, we have to optimize related aspects and develop more reasonable training to make the contract tactical system more adaptable." Chen Jun also pointed out the key point.

"Speaking of training, I think there is another problem."

Chief Gao had unknowingly turned into a student seeking knowledge, constantly trying to get answers to all his doubts from Chen Jun.

He then went on to say: “The combined arms force has more arms and units, and its combat mode definitely places higher logistical requirements than traditional forces.

The supply of fuel and ammunition, as well as the demand for maintenance of weapons and equipment of various arms will increase significantly, which is a big challenge to our existing logistics system. Have you considered this aspect?"

“Logistics is a real challenge, but it’s not that hard to solve.”

Chen Jun waited for a few seconds, sorted out his thoughts and said: "Logistics problems can be solved by optimizing the supply chain and introducing new technologies.

For example, we can learn from the experience of foreign militaries, establish a modular logistics support system, integrate it into the command and combat system to form a whole, and thus greatly improve the efficiency of supply. "

"It sounds very promising, but I think there is still a key issue. Our current economic and technological levels are still relatively limited. Wouldn't it be a bit ahead of our time to promote the tactical style of combined forces on a large scale?" asked Commander Gao.

"It is definitely ahead of the times, but it is still difficult to promote it on a large scale. The cost of building a combined force is too high. With our country's current economy, it is simply not sustainable."

Chen Jun was not afraid of being scolded for speaking out and told the actual situation truthfully.

Later, my country carried out the transformation of all military divisions into brigades in 2016. Compared with the informationization reform in 1998, a full 18 years had passed.

The reason why it took so long to fully promote it was actually to wait for the domestic economy to pick up.

The cost of building a heavy-armored combined brigade is in the tens of billions. If it were really promoted throughout the entire army in the millennium, it would definitely bring down the entire country.

The perfect time to delay the promotion is eighteen years later.

"Although your words may not sound nice, they hit the point. War is a game of burning money, and there is no upper limit to the development of the military. Without economic support, everything is empty talk."

Chen Jun has such vision at such a young age that Chief Gao can't help but look up to him.

"Subjectively, this is true, but having said that, I don't think we should give up the exploration of synthetic forces just because of limited conditions."

Chen Jun changed the subject and continued, "The tactical style of the combined forces is not only an advancement in military technology, but also a change in the form of warfare.

If we don’t start researching now, it may be too late when the future form of warfare changes drastically.”

Chen Jun’s final summary hits the nail on the head!

"you're right."

Commander Gao agreed with Chen Jun's point of view and also concluded from his perspective: "However, I think that when promoting synthetic forces, we must also consider our actual situation. For example, we can first pilot it in some elite troops to accumulate experience and then gradually promote it."

"This is what our regiment is doing now. We are confident that we can set an excellent example for the entire army and serve as a pioneer in a new era."

Chen Jun felt very proud when he talked about this, and he had enough qualifications to be proud.

"Haha, you are not modest at all. You and Gao Cheng really have similar interests."

Chief Gao was amused by Chen Jun's words. Although his words sounded like an insult, one could see from his eyes that he was full of relief.

He was pleased that there was an outstanding cadre like Chen Jun in the army, and that he appeared in his 84th Army Group.

"Lao Gao, it's time to eat. Bring the two boys over here."

Just then, Gao's mother came out with dishes and called Chief Gao over.

"Okay, let's get ready to eat."

Commander Gao responded and was very satisfied with the chat with Chen Jun. He concluded: "In short, the tactics of the combined forces are not only the direction of the development of the troops, but also the requirement of the times.

We must seize this opportunity, seize the moment of reform, and prepare for future wars.

Chen Jun, I hope your research can provide more ideas for the development of the army. After all, you are the one who is at the forefront in terms of synthetic forces. "

"I am grateful for the trust of the commander. I will do my best for the development of the troops."

Chen Jun stood up with his back straight, his voice loud and clear with absolute confidence.

Chief Gao smiled.

Smiling very happily!
