559 The last 1-star general

Plagiarism - 550 Nine, the last five-star general

During this trip to Europe and the United States, Tan Jiabao and the others still have an important task, which is to find a commander-in-chief of the sea, land and air forces.This role is directly related to the strength of Dayang's military power in the future.

The army that Tan Jiabao has in mind is a modern army. It must not only be well-equipped, but also be at the forefront of the world in terms of technology. More importantly, this army must have modern management and world-leading military capabilities. Armed with ideas, a strong team with excellent personal qualities.

To build such a team, Tan Jiabao referred to a lot of Israeli experience.However, the difficulties facing Tan Jiabao are not small.The first big issue before him was the quality of soldiers and officers.Beijing promised to give Oceania a personnel plan of more than 6 veterans and active-duty soldiers, and Tan Jiabao recruited and planned to recruit a total of 7 mercenaries in Europe and America.

A total of more than 13 teams are enough to form a sea, land and air team.However, Tan Jiabao knew the weaknesses of his staff.The physical quality of the PLA is tough, but the cultural quality is generally not high. The requirements for strategic and tactical aspects are also getting lower and lower.The cultural quality and combat quality of the mercenaries recruited in Europe and the United States are generally much higher, but they are generally too old, and their physical fitness may not be able to withstand the test of modern warfare.

A team composed of these two groups should be enough to deal with the armies of small and weak countries, but they may find it very difficult to deal with the armies of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union.Even if they deal with Israel and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, their chances of winning may not be satisfactory.

Therefore, Tan Jiabao planned to start from the top and upper echelons of the army. He decided to hire a highly respected military strategist with modern military thinking and rich combat experience to serve as the commander-in-chief of this army.General Su, who came from Beijing, could only act as his deputy.

The first target that appeared in Tan Jiabao's mind was the Englishman Montgomery.This World War II hero, the British Field Marshal, has enough prestige to convince everyone.Furthermore, he visited Beijing twice in 1960 and 1961, and was personally received by the great leader. He is not a stranger in the hearts of Chinese Communists. Even General Su met him once, so he can be invited Tan Jiabao can rest assured that if he goes out, everyone else in Oceania can also rest assured.However, when Tan Jiabao saw another person's name, Tan Jiabao decided to use Montgomery as a substitute.

This person is also a generation of generals that emerged during World War II. He has made friends with Montgomery, Patton, MacArthur, and Eisenhower.He became a five-star general step by step, and he is currently the only five-star general left in the United States.He is—Omar n. Bradley!

The deeds of Omar n. Bradley are difficult to finish in a few sentences. In a word, Tan Jiabao thinks that this person is more suitable than Montgomery, and he will invite him at any cost.

There are only 10 five-star generals in the United States, and Bradley is the only one left.According to the regulations of the U.S. military, such a general cannot go to other countries to work at will after retirement.

Therefore, Tan Jiabao also proposed this condition at Camp David.Johnson didn't care much about this matter, he just said: "If you can get him, I will persuade other Americans to open his business."

Mr. Zheng had met this person once.When Tan Jiabao first came to the United States, Tan Jiabao asked Gu Long to write the book "General Patton", and it was Zheng Dashi who specially asked General Bradley to write the preface.

But this time, Master Zheng did not invite Omar n. Bradley.Tan Jiabao knew that Bradley thought Oceania was too small, or he thought Oceania was not sincere enough.So, this time I personally came to Bradley's small villa in Washington.

Bradley is already ** years old, but he is not old at all, his spirit is still very good, and his body seems to be very good.And it is very rare that this generation of generals who were all-powerful during World War II turned out to be very easy-going and very talkative.

His first words to Tan Jiabao were: "Mr. Chu, are you not afraid that I will turn your army into the US Army, or my Bradley's army?"

Since a foreigner was to be invited to be the commander-in-chief, Tan Jiabao had of course considered it carefully.He smiled and said: "I'm not afraid! The United States will not want my army. What is the use of the United States? The army is in my hands and is under the command of the general. The Americans are the most at ease. They don't need to covet my army. Equipment. And General Bradley is already so old and has already accumulated a good reputation, and General Bradley will never take the risk of being a villain and ruin his reputation for the rest of his life."

There is no need to beat around the bush when talking to soldiers. This is what Grandpa Tan Jiabao, who was in the army in his previous life, told him.

Sure enough, Bradley laughed heartily.

After laughing for a while, Bradley restrained his smile, and said to Tan Jiabao: "I don't know what Mr. Chu wants to build such a strong army for?"

Tan Jiabao also restrained his smile. He stared at Bradley and said, "The country is so beautiful that it attracts countless heroes to bow down! I think that although the current international situation is still relatively peaceful, it is full of turmoil and danger. I predict that , a big war is about to break out, and it is not impossible for the third world war to break out. In such an environment, casting an iron army, advancing can expand the territory, retreating can protect and entertain oneself, why not do it What? Besides, this world has always been dominated by the weak and the strong, the survival of the fittest, and all heroes will take advantage of the situation and seize the first opportunity. This is the purpose of building a powerful army.”

Bradley nodded and said: "What you said is consistent with most of my guesses, and I agree with your above point of view. However, I don't like redism, and you should know about it. Ha ha, I'm in my decades and I don't want to change my beliefs and give up my freedom."

When Master Zheng hired Bradley last time, he told him about the composition of Oceania's personnel.Tan Jiabao understands Bradley's dislike of redism.However, most of General Su and the 100-odd generals and officers he will bring with him are not "political commissars". If they are asked to sing less doctrine in the army, these generals and officers should still be able to understand and do it.What Tan Jiabao is worried about is that after decades of brainwashing, these people have already hated US imperialism. Will they live in harmony with these Americans?

Tan Jiabao had no choice but to tell the truth: "General Bradley, I organize an army to fight wars, to defend our home and country, and to expand territory. This army directly serves me and serves the ocean. The people of the country, of course I will not allow anyone to spread those illusory things in my army, I can guarantee this. But as the general said, the generals from Beijing, like the generals, have decades of experience I don't want them to abandon their beliefs. Also, on the Korean battlefield, these two armies once faced each other head-on. Maybe some of the generals were opponents in North Korea. I personally hope that both of you For the Dayang Army to put aside the previous suspicions, truly unite, and work together to build a Chinese-dominated steel army."

"This is why I have been thinking for a long time. After I transferred the materials of General Su and others and their articles from the Pentagon yesterday, I was finally relieved. I have to say that General Su is an excellent military strategist. His military thinking opened my eyes and inspired me a lot, so I am eager to work with him. As for uniting a team, it should not be a big deal for a commander. If this is not done well, What qualifications do you have to be the commander-in-chief? If I hadn’t persuaded Montgomery back then, the Allied forces…”

Bradley spoke gradually, and Tan Jiabao was pleasantly surprised to see that Bradley had quietly agreed to Tan Jiabao's offer before he knew it.
