Chapter 227 Debt Collection

"In half a month, a group of college graduates will come to our synthetic brigade. You must be prepared to welcome them and train them well!"

Liu Tao talked about something.

Shortly after the Chinese New Year, he personally made the request to the army leaders.

The construction period of the Synthetic Brigade is long, and there are many things to learn. Those who do not have a basic knowledge level and learning ability will be difficult to cultivate after all.

College students are different. They often have a strong knowledge level and relatively strong learning ability.

They have a strong ability to accept new knowledge.

Therefore, when these college students arrive at the synthetic brigade, they will inevitably receive key training and become professional soldiers in the future.

As for other soldiers, no matter how good they are, they will often start to retire one by one when they reach the age of thirty. Except for a few extremely outstanding ones, they will be retained by the combined brigade.

Of course, perhaps as new tank equipment becomes more and more available, these soldiers will be used as instructors by other troops and continue to stay in the army.

"Yes, director!" Zhao Guoping said.

This matter falls within his jurisdiction.

He and Li Fuguo had a clear division of labor. Li Fuguo took the lead in military command matters, and Zhao Guoping was responsible for ideological and political work.

Of course, Zhao Guoping is also learning about military command.

As the political commissar of the synthetic brigade, once Li Fuguo becomes ill, injured, or dies on the battlefield, he needs to take over the command of the synthetic brigade.

"Director, can you give us more tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns? The army is currently lacking in these areas!" Li Fuguo said bitterly.

Liu Tao rolled his eyes, "The production of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns is still very limited now. If you want it from me, who should I ask for it from?"

"The tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns produced in the factory, even the foreign trade versions, are temporarily given to you!" Liu Tao spread his hands.

Li Fuguo said, "Isn't the factory currently producing three other tanks? These are also available. I think their performance is quite good."

The three tank prototypes developed by Liu Tao were also sent to the synthetic brigade.

After all, the development is the same, and many switches and systems are also the same. These three tanks also make Li Fuguo envious.

It can even be said that the Type 81 light tank and the Type 81 medium tank are more suitable for plateau operations. If it is in the south, the Type 81 light tank, the Type 81 medium tank and the Type 81 amphibious tank are better than the Type 80 heavy tank. Suitable.

The Type 80 heavy tank has ferocious firepower and strong armor defense, but it has a serious problem.

"Don't worry about these three tanks. The production of these three tanks in the next year will be taken care of by the army!" Liu Tao said helplessly: "You guys will suffer for a while, and the weapons and equipment will be replenished slowly. I will definitely give you a full supply." equipment."

"But now, the gap in weapons and equipment is too big!" Li Fuguo was speechless.

Previously, regarding the Synthetic Brigade, Liu Tao drew a big cake, making Li Fuguo’s dreams beautiful every day.

But now it is discovered that there is a huge gap in weapons and equipment for a while.

A heavy combined brigade has 9 battalions under its jurisdiction, including 4 heavy combined battalions, 1 air defense battalion, 1 artillery battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 support battalion, and 1 support battalion.

4 heavy synthetic battalions, equipped with 120 Type 80 main battle tanks, 8 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, 104 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, 24 120 mm self-propelled howitzers; the artillery battalion requires 9 122 mm rocket launchers, 27 122mm self-propelled howitzers, 9 anti-tank missile launchers; 1 air defense battalion requires 4 sets of field air defense missile systems, 20 Type 80 self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and a combined artillery and artillery system

There is now a huge gap in weapons and equipment, not just for tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

Tracked infantry fighting vehicles, 120mm mortars, 122mm rocket launchers, 122mm self-propelled howitzers, anti-tank missile launchers, field air defense missile systems, etc. were not even seen.

There are only enough firearms and rocket launchers.

Now the synthetic brigade is said to be a synthetic brigade, but in fact it is very incomplete.

"Don't worry, there will be bread and milk." Liu Tao comforted Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo said angrily: "But I don't want bread or milk, I just want weapons and equipment!"

"Tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns only have large gaps, so they can be squeezed in for training, but tracked infantry fighting vehicles, 120 mm mortars, 122 mm rocket launchers, 122 mm self-propelled howitzers, anti-tank missile launchers, and field anti-aircraft missiles The system waits, you have to give it, otherwise I can't explain it to the soldiers!" Li Fuguo also had a headache.

"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you in the next two to three months." Liu Tao said.

Originally, I wanted to take a break, but now that Li Fuguo is collecting debts, it seems that I can't take it anymore.

When Li Fuguo heard what Liu Tao said, he finally said nothing.

Liu Tao looked at Zhao Guoping, "How is the logistics support of the army? Can the food and nutrition keep up? Have the soldiers done a good job in ideological and political work?"

"Director, there is no problem in terms of logistical support. The soldiers have meat and vegetables for every meal. Each soldier has a food allowance of 2 yuan per day." Zhao Guoping said.

Food costs 2 yuan per person per day, which is 60 yuan a month. The food level is far higher than that of other troops.

For other troops, the food cost per person per day is about 0.5 yuan, and the food cost per person per month is 15 yuan, which includes 1.5 kilograms of rice (including flour) and 1.5 kilograms of cooking oil.

In other words, the food standard of the combined brigade is four times that of other troops!

The only thing that can compare with it is Kongqin Zao!

Even the aircrew kitchen is slightly inferior!

The Panshan Combined Brigade has a full staff of 6,000 people, which means that the monthly food expenses are 360,000 yuan!

As for the allowance, the average annual amount is about 65 yuan per person, which is almost 5 million yuan a year.

The consumption of various training shells, bullets, and artillery shells, even at the production cost price of the Panshan Machinery Factory, is estimated to be 20 to 30 million or even more a year.

As for weapons and equipment, it is even more.

Only by understanding it personally, Zhao Guoping can clearly feel how much money is needed to invest in a heavy combined brigade!

It takes almost an army to barely match the investment of a heavy combined brigade.

He also deeply understands what Liu Tao said before, that China cannot support the synthesis of troops now!

"In terms of ideological work, the soldiers performed very well. Every week, they would organize movies, lectures, and study ideology and politics. The soldiers were very conscious and patriotic. Every half a month, they would go to the surrounding areas to help the people do something in units of companies." Zhao Guoping said.

Carrying out military-civilian integration is a fine tradition of our army. Liu Tao has higher requirements for the combined brigade, requiring that this fine tradition must not be abandoned, and military-civilian integration must be strengthened to practice the people's soldiers coming from the people and going to the people.

Even now, military training cooperation is being carried out in primary and middle schools in surrounding towns, and military training is carried out in these primary and middle schools in person at the beginning of each school year.

Later, military training will be carried out in colleges and universities to strengthen military-civilian integration and let students have more understanding of the army, so that love and support for the army will be deeply rooted in the hearts of every student.
