Chapter 209 Ma Long Training Base
Liu Tao took a breath of air.
I just thought I heard it wrong, so I couldn't help but pick my ears.
"Leader, did I hear you correctly?" Liu Tao couldn't help but said.
One of the leaders said: "You heard me right. The current focus of the army is to streamline the army, and it is really unable to build a training base. Now your Panshan Machinery Factory wants to build a combined brigade, and it also needs a training base. Why not hand over this training base to Your Panshan Machinery Factory, the army will fully cooperate with you."
Liu Tao couldn't laugh or cry.
The leaders' calculations are rattling.
To build a synthetic brigade, yes!
If you want to build a training base, you can!
Panshan Machinery Factory takes on this important task, and the army can only provide support. As for money, there is no!
The implication is that only if they agree to establish a training base can a combined brigade be formed.
If we do not agree to establish a training base, there will be no combined brigade, only combined battalions.
"Building a comprehensive brigade and training base is a great achievement. Young people have the ability to take on more responsibilities." The leader said earnestly.
What else can Liu Tao say about this.
Liu Tao and others continued to stay at the headquarters that day, discussing where it would be more appropriate to locate the training base.
The first choice, of course, is to set it up in Yun Province, because Yun Province is the headquarters of Panshan Machinery Factory and it is convenient to supply weapons and ammunition.
"Our Yunnan Province belongs to the southern extension of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The terrain is bounded by the Yuanjiang Valley and the wide valley in the southern section of the Yunling Mountains. It is divided into east and west parts. The east part is the East Yunnan and Central Yunnan Plateau. The terrain is undulating, with an average altitude of 2,000 meters. On the left and right, it is characterized by gently undulating low mountains and round hills, with various types of karst terrain developing. The west is the longitudinal valley area of the Hengduan Mountains, with alternating high mountains and deep valleys, a large relative height difference, and steep terrain. The altitude of the southwest is generally 1500~. 2,200 meters, and the northwest is generally 3,000 to 4,000 meters." The chief of staff of the headquarters was introducing: "It is only in the border areas that the terrain gradually becomes gentler in the southwest. The river valleys here are wide, and the general altitude is 800 to 1,000 meters. In some areas, It drops below 500 meters, forming the main tropical and subtropical areas of Yunnan.”
"Chief of Staff, is there an area of about 500 square kilometers to 1,000 square kilometers with complex terrain that can be used for military training?" Liu Tao said: "The border area is definitely not suitable. It is not suitable for keeping secrets and can easily make neighbors nervous."
The chief of staff thought for a moment and pointed to the Qujing area, "This is located in the Wumeng Mountains in the transition zone from the Eastern Yunnan Plateau to the Western Guizhou Plateau in the central Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is closely embedded with the lake basin area of the Central Yunnan Plateau in the west, and gradually moves toward the Guizhou Plateau in the east. The middle part is the watershed zone of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. The terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. The highest point is Guniuzhai, Dailiangzi, Huize County, with an altitude of 4017.3 meters, which is the main peak of the Wumeng Mountains; the lowest point is Nagu, Huize County. Zhenwangjiashan is at the confluence of the Xiangbiling Xiaojiang River and the Jinsha River, with an altitude of 695 meters and a relative height difference of 3322.3 meters.
"The entire area is intertwined with mountains and river valleys, and the military division is set up here." The chief of staff pointed to the Malong District.
Malong District is located on the north side of the Niutoushan ancient uplift and the south of the Wumeng Mountains. It belongs to the hilly area of Northeast Yunnan on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is located in the watershed zone of the Jinsha River water system and the Nanpan River water system, and is surrounded by mountains. There are valleys, hills, and rivers in the middle. It is divided into 11 small dams with an area of more than 8 square kilometers by seven rivers that flow into the Yangtze River system and the Pearl River system respectively. The terrain is steep in the southeast, and the central uplift slopes down to the northwest in a step-like manner. The highest point is Niutoushan at the junction with Luliang, with an altitude of 2493.8 meters; the lowest point is at the riverside of Xiaomide Village at the junction with Yiliang, with an altitude of 1772.2 meters, with a height difference of 721.6 meters.
Liu Tao's eyes lit up, this place is suitable as a training base.
This area has flat land, hills and hills, valleys and valleys, rivers and rivers, mountains and mountains, and the terrain is complex, making it a perfect training base.
Moreover, this place is very similar to the mountains on the border. Combat training content can be set up here to adapt to the cold plateau zones, woodlands, mountains and other areas.
Then everyone circled around according to the terrain map, which was exactly 1,000 square kilometers!
There are more than 8,000 people living in an area of 1,000 square kilometers. Naturally, these people have to move out of the area.
After staying at the headquarters for three days and discussing how to build it, Liu Tao and the others returned to Panshan Machinery Factory.
Panshan Machinery Factory, Synthetic Battalion Headquarters.
"Director, do you really want to build such a large training base?" Li Fuguo thought it was too crazy just thinking about it.
Liu Tao said angrily: "The leader has said so, what else can we do, we can only build!"
"You have a very heavy task next. You have to form a synthetic brigade and participate in the construction of the Malong training base. Fortunately, our Panshan Machinery Factory has two branches there. It will be more convenient for you to supply weapons and ammunition." Liu Tao said.
"If we want to build a synthetic brigade, should we find a division-level cadre to be the brigade commander?" Li Fuguo touched his head, "There are still so many battalion-level cadres, what should we do?"
Liu Tao rolled his eyes: "It's cold!"
"Comrade Li Fuguo, you are second to none in the country's integrated forces. No one is more suitable to be a brigade commander than you!" Liu Tao patted Li Fuguo on the shoulder. "Part of the battalion-level cadres are from the existing company commanders." Promotion: those who are capable are promoted to battalion commanders, those who are slightly less capable are promoted to deputy battalion commanders, deputy company commanders are promoted to company commanders, platoon leaders are promoted to deputy company commanders, and deputy platoon commanders are promoted to platoon commanders. !”
"Of course, those who are capable can be promoted by exception after discussion!" Liu Tao said: "Some of them will request support from the leadership, and at the same time, send cadres to military academies for systematic training."
"In a few days, I will announce your appointment as deputy factory director and concurrently as the head of the armed forces department. You will be responsible for the formation of the combined brigade." Liu Tao said: "Comrade Zhao Guoping will serve as the political commissar, concurrently as the deputy head of the armed forces department and the director of the political center!"
"Comrade Zhao Guoping will be your partner in the future. I hope you can cooperate and make the combined brigade a success as soon as possible." Liu Tao said.
Zhao Guoping hesitated for a moment, "Director, is this promotion too fast?"
"No, what's the point of being fast!? Our Panshan Machinery Factory is a vibrant state-owned factory without so many rules and regulations. The capable will be promoted, the mediocre will be demoted, and the inferior will be eliminated. This is the principle of employment in our Panshan Machinery Factory." Liu Tao said: "You should discuss it internally first, and submit the list of cadres at all levels to me. If there are any cadres missing, please report it, and I will personally go to the leaders to ask for them!"
The soldiers have made meritorious contributions and deserve to be promoted. Of course, not everyone can be a cadre, because being a soldier and fighting in a war requires talent.
Some people really don't have that talent, and the most suitable thing for them is to be a soldier. If they are promoted to be cadres, it will harm them.
So Liu Tao asked Li Fuguo and others to discuss internally first, and after determining everyone's position, he would ask the military leaders for help if there were any cadres missing.
This is also because he believes that Li Fuguo, Zhao Guoping and others will not be nepotism, but will handle things impartially.
Otherwise, he would not be so confident to let go to Li Fuguo and Zhao Guoping.
"Build the framework first, recruit soldiers first, and slowly replenish weapons and equipment, step by step!" Liu Tao said: "It would be great if we can form a combined brigade in three to five years!"
Liu Tao is not in a hurry about this, after all, building a combined brigade is not a matter of one day or one night.
