The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 644 Dowry
After finishing his vacation in Beijing, Liu Tao returned to Panshan Group headquarters.

Subsequently, a party group meeting was held.

Compared with before, the second-level groups have expanded to 12, and the list of party group members has also expanded to 19.

As the Party Secretary of Panshan Group, Liu Tao has a veto power and is the leader of the entire leadership team.

Li Fuguo is the Minister of the Armed Forces and a member of the Party Leadership Group. He is one of the earliest members and ranks second among the Party Leadership Group members.

Feng Defeng, deputy general manager of Panshan Group Corporation, general manager and party secretary of China Southern Ordnance Industry Group Corporation, ranks third among the party group members.

Li Weimin, deputy general manager of Panshan Group Corporation and secretary of the Party Committee of China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation, ranks fourth among the members of the Party Committee.

Liu Tao first conveyed the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 13th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, of which the two most important aspects were: on the one hand, the decision from above on further governance, rectification and deepening of reform. It is necessary to further deepen reform, restructure more state-owned enterprises, separate government and enterprises, and separate the military and politics; on the other hand, it is the replacement of the old with the new. More veteran cadres will retreat to the second line or even retire, and more young and capable cadres will be promoted to make the cadre team younger.

In fact, the replacement of old and new cadres has been promoted since the introduction of the cadre retirement system.

If a team wants to maintain vigorous vitality and vigor, it cannot be stagnant, but must be continuously injected with fresh water. The elderly are stable and experienced, but they are not as flexible, innovative, and open to new things as the young people.

The times are undergoing drastic changes and we need more young people.

There is no other company in the country that has such a young cadre team like Panshan Group. This is a unique case, and many capable young people will be promoted.

Zhao Guoping's transfer from Panshan Group to Fujian Province was also based on this background.

The aspects of rectification and deepening reform are also applicable to Panshan Group, that is, to rectify the entire group, to kill the bad habits and to correct the bad habits. At the same time, we should also use our own advantages to help and promote the deepening reform of upstream and downstream enterprises.

Subsequently, the administrative levels such as the second-level group, third-level group, and fourth-level company were adjusted.

Administrative level adjustments involve all aspects.

For example, the most obvious one is the salary system. As the administrative level increases, the salary will increase accordingly.

That is truly a matter of one move affecting the entire body.

This will take at least two or three months before it gets on the right track.

Next, in terms of personnel appointments and removals, some cadres were transferred to other systems, including working in other state-owned enterprises, local industrial bureaus or governments.

Similarly, some cadres supported by higher authorities also entered Panshan Group.

The entire party group meeting lasted for five days before it was finally declared over.

After the party group meeting ended, Liu Tao deliberately kept Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo’s identity is now quite special. He has an identity in both Panshan Group and the military.

The six combined brigades that were originally to be separated have now been separated halfway.

The army found that they could not come up with a feasible plan, and they were unable to sort out a satisfactory solution after dealing with so many issues.

The result is that the six combined brigades are under the jurisdiction of both the Panshan Group Armed Forces Department and the military, which is a dual jurisdiction.

Now Li Fuguo is no longer serving in the Hong Kong garrison because the garrison has completed its first rotation.

The Hong Kong garrison rotates every two years, and it just so happens that it has been two years now. However, the Tiger Brigade did not return to the Malong Military Training Base, but went to the Zhurihe Military Training Base.

Now, the Zhurihe Military Training Base is home to two heavy combined brigades, the Tiger Brigade and the Valiant Brigade, and the medium-sized combined brigade, the Tiger Brigade, all gathered at the Zhurihe Military Training Base.

The Yingyang Brigade will go to the Zhuhai training base and will serve as the first force stationed in Australia.

At the Malan Military Training Base, only the Tiger and Leopard Brigade, a medium-sized combined brigade, and the Longxiang Brigade, a light-sized combined brigade, remain.

Liu Tao left Li Fuguo behind to take charge of the affairs of the six combined brigades.

Although the six combined brigades have not been completely separated and are still under the jurisdiction of Panshan Group, Liu Tao knows that sooner or later the six combined brigades will be separated from Panshan Group and truly belong to the military.

This is an inevitable trend of history.

Moreover, from the current perspective, China will enter a period of peace lasting thirty to forty years, during which the army will focus more on training, and there will be very few opportunities for real wars.

In this case, the current strength of 8000 people in each combined brigade is too large, and it is necessary to reorganize the six combined brigades.

Each combined brigade has four combined battalions, one artillery battalion, one air defense battalion, one combat support battalion, one reconnaissance battalion, and one service support battalion, for a total of nine battalions in the brigade.

The combined battalion consists of 5 combat companies, 1 artillery company, 1 support company, and a guarantee company, for a total of 8 companies.

A combined brigade consists of a brigade headquarters, 4 combined battalions, 1 firepower battalion, 1 air defense battalion, 1 reconnaissance battalion, 1 support battalion, and 1 service support battalion, a total of 45 companies, about 2500 combat infantry, about 80 artillery pieces, about 120 tanks, about 600 armored vehicles, and the entire brigade has about 6000 people!
Each combined brigade now has 8000 people, which will be reduced to 6000 people. 2000 people will be transferred out from each brigade, for a total of 12000 people. On this basis, a heavy combined brigade, a medium combined brigade, and a light combined brigade will be formed.

In this way, only 6000 new soldiers are needed.

Those who have made contributions in previous combats will be promoted if they deserve it.

In this way, the number of combined brigades will reach 9.

"Go back and discuss it, draw up a list, and report it to me!" Liu Tao said.

The list, of course, is a list of cadres and equipment to be replenished!
Li Fuguo knew the situation of the Armed Forces Department best.

"Yes, Director!" Li Fuguo said with a happy look on his face.

In fact, regarding the reorganization of the combined brigade, they had already discussed it when Zhao Guoping was there, and submitted a report to Liu Tao.

He knew that he and the combined brigade would leave Panshan Group sooner or later.

He did not expect that Liu Tao actually agreed to the reorganization plan of the combined brigade, and wanted to build a heavy combined brigade, a medium combined brigade, and a light combined brigade on this basis.

You have to know that these weapons and equipment are all provided by Panshan Group, and the army will never pay for it.

Then he understood that this was Liu Tao's dowry to the combined brigade, and it was a generous dowry.

This made Li Fuguo feel quite uncomfortable, but he also knew that this was the trend of the times and could not be stopped by human power.

Panshan Group is a company, not a country. A company should do its own thing. Otherwise, there will inevitably be rumors in the future.

This is not a good thing for Panshan Group, nor is it a good thing for Liu Tao.

Because even if we don't form three more combined brigades, the combat effectiveness of six combined brigades will be even stronger than that of two Type A armies!
