Chapter 1275: Ideas about the Marine Corps
Three days before the first batch of new recruits entered the camp, Li Mu was summoned to the Third Fleet Headquarters.

Guan Haiyang led him through the long corridor and said, "How was the filming of the Red Sea rescue scene?"

"The filming at the base will be over in just over a week." Li Mu smiled, "Unless I see it with my own eyes, I really don't know how those amazing-looking shots were taken."

Guan Haiyang said with a smile, "A large number of shots need to be edited to form a coherent film. Post-processing is very important. Oh yes."

He took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to Li Mu, "Give this to Wu Di."

Weighing the lighter in his hand, Li Mu smiled and said, "This is that lighter, and it's a famous brand."

Guan Haihua said, "I have to tell you one more thing. The engineering company run by your little brother Liu Huaqiang has been shut down and is involved in organized crime."

Li Mu was not surprised, "It was expected."

The two came to the fleet commander's office. Li Mu looked up and saw the sign on the door, and was stunned for a moment, "What's the situation?"

Guan Haiyang smiled and whispered, "The big boss wants to see you, okay, I'll send it here. You can go in by yourself."

Li Mu watched Guan Haiyang walk away for a while, and then he slowly came back to his senses.He thought he was talking about recruit training. The big boss wanted to see him, but it was obviously not about recruit training.The training of just a few hundred recruits has not reached the level of the big leader.

After knocking on the door, a confidential secretary came out and politely invited Li Mu in. Inside was the leader's office. The confidential secretary knocked on the door and reported, "Sir, instructor Li is here."

"come in."

Li Mu walked in and was stunned again when he saw clearly the two people sitting on the wooden sofa smoking and drinking tea.

Isn’t the bald man accompanying Director Gao Hai, Commander of the Third Fleet, Commander Hai?
He quickly stepped forward and saluted.

The Admiral laughed, pointed to the single sofa on the side, and said, "Sit down, sit down and talk. Tell me, why did you wear the rank of deputy captain? You are expressing dissatisfaction with the arrangement made by your superiors." Na."

Li Mu did not dare to show off in front of this veteran commander who had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and hundreds of thousands of tons of ships. He quickly said, "Sir, I don't mean that. In order to facilitate work, it is better to have the rank of lieutenant at the base." Some."

Commander Hai smiled and said to Gao Hai, "Commander Gao, I see you in person this time. You must be very young. When I was his age, I was just a young major."

Gao Hai smiled and said, "You are indeed very young. Xiao Li, you don't look like a 32-year-old person, but more like a 25-year-old military academy student."

Li Mu smiled and replied, "You don't look old, you are indeed older."

"You kid, don't show your vicissitudes of life in front of us two old men." Commander Hai said, and everyone burst out laughing.

He was indeed promoted to major when he was in his early 30s, but Li Mu knew that it took Commander Hai less than ten years to become a senior colonel, and then only eight years to become a director. This process to the Chief.His promotion is not slow. He has been a commander for more than seven years and will continue to do so.

The commander's status is extremely high in the military.

Director Gao Hai is definitely not a young general. He is a 57-year-old director. Less than a year after he took office as the commander of the Third Fleet, he serves as the commander of the fleet with the full military title of the director. This shows one thing - he is regarded as Training for the successor of Commander Hai was carried out.

Such a situation highlights the characteristics of naval forces - continuation and accumulation.

Zhang Ning is another representative example. He is only two years older than Gao Hai and is now a commander.In addition to personal development reasons, this has a lot to do with the military branch you belong to.It is an undeniable fact that the promotion of army generals is usually faster than that of navy and air force.

The commander of the navy is already 67 years old. He can only work for another three years at most. 70 is the age at which senior generals retire. The 57-year-old director Gao Hai next to him will probably succeed him as a captain of the navy in three years. His class continued the navy's development strategy.

After chatting for a while, Commander Hai turned to the topic and said, "I called you here because I wanted to talk to you about the expansion of the Marine Corps. I'll look left and right, and it's more suitable for young people to talk about this matter. The first thing that comes to mind is you."

Gao Hai said, "Xiao Li, you have been studying new types of forces. There are many similarities between the Marine Corps and the Army, especially the southeastern coastal forces where you once worked. We want to hear the opinions of young people."

Li Mu would not be humble at this time, nor was it the occasion to be humble.

He thought about it seriously and said, "To be honest with you two officers, I do have some personal opinions on the construction of the Marine Corps."

Pointing at Li Mu, Commander Hai said, "Speak, speak boldly, whatever you think."

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Mu said, "In the current general background and the situation we will face in the future, including our country's most urgent task of safeguarding overseas interests, the first one to bear the brunt is the Navy, which has the deepest relationship with the Marine Corps. In the past few years Our escort has achieved results, but it has also exposed many problems. For example, there are no overseas support bases, not enough land combat personnel, and no military bases that can rely on long-term deployment of troops. These objective factors have greatly restricted the navy. The actions of the troops also affect the naval forces’ ability to safeguard overseas national interests.”

After a pause, Li Mu said, "Just relying on a few people from the special forces cannot complete military missions of this scale. The evacuation of overseas Chinese from Yecheng has actually exposed the serious shortage of our land operations. The warships cannot be on land. In the evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yecheng, it is necessary to rely on a large number of diplomats and a large number of foreign agencies of enterprises and institutions. In fact, such a temporary system has no problem in dealing with one or two emergencies, but as a long-term means, many The problem was exposed.”

Li Mu said, "Although I have not been the supervisory commissioner of the National Defense Engineering and Construction Commission for a long time, I still submitted a report on establishing overseas support bases as soon as possible. There is not a sufficient fulcrum, even if we have more than a dozen aircraft carrier battle groups , the ocean combat capabilities will be greatly restricted."

"On the basis of building overseas support bases, the problem of insufficient strength of the Marine Corps has become more and more prominent." Li Mu said this, looked at Gao Hai, and said, "The final combat mission of our army back then is different from the current number one mission. The mission has changed, and it is no longer appropriate for the Marine Corps to hang under the fleet."

The original intention of the formation of the Yanguo Marine Corps was to complete the great cause of unification, including all coastal army field units from Jiangsu to Guangxi.

Now this situation has undergone major changes. Completing the great cause of reunification is no longer the only mission of the military, but it is still the most important mission.

Gao Hai smiled and said, "Going on, I'm not a narrow-minded person."

Of the three major fleets, only the Third Fleet has marines. The Yanguo Marine Corps actually refers to the two marine brigades under the Third Fleet.

Li Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "The Marine Corps will be upgraded from under the fleet to under the Navy Command. The Marine Corps Command will be established and assigned to the three fleets according to needs, but the Third Fleet is still the main force. Equipped with objects.”

"Go on." Commander Hai's expression didn't change much and he pointed at Li Mu.

Li Mu said, "Guan Haiyang notified me of the decision, but I found that the specific plan for the expansion has not yet been finalized."

"Yes, it is still under study and discussion. This is also the purpose of coming to have a chat with you." Gao Haidao.

Li Mu said bluntly, "When I was conducting research on the reorganization of the Army Forces at the Army Academy, my views were very clear. The best choice for the Marine Corps is to become an independent force and become independent from the Navy. In recent years, there has been Some personal practical experiences have changed my mind. Establishing an independent army is not in line with our actual situation, so I am in favor of only upgrading the Marine Corps level and still falling within the scope of the Navy. As for the scale, I personally think that in ten years After that, it must be expanded to at least 5 standing troops to cope with the pressure of safeguarding national interests overseas. The current Marine Corps is not very different from the Army's amphibious infantry. This actually explains the way the Marine Corps is organized and trained. There is a lot of room for improvement.”

"Learning from the Army's new army formation method, several combat brigades are formed, supplemented by several support brigades, and allocated to the three fleets according to needs. I believe that five fully equipped combat brigades and three support brigades can barely meet the needs of the future. Ten years of demand. To carry out the "two basic" construction, the troops do not need to be replenished during wartime, and do not need to undergo combat training. They can be fully prepared for wartime and can fight. At least 80.00% combat effectiveness must be guaranteed at all times. state."

At this point, Li Mu stopped temporarily. He had to wait and see the responses of the two officers.

Maintaining 80.00% combat effectiveness on a daily basis is definitely a very high requirement.
