"All that's missing is a spark! The new Third Army has already lit the first fire!" Xie Jinyuan said thoughtfully.

"Commander!"

"The expansion of the new three armed forces is imperative! But isn't this pace too fast?"

"After all, we have just undergone reorganization, and the entire new Third Army has a strength of nearly 70,000!"

"If it doubles, that would be 140,000 troops?"

“Even the main field armies of various countries don’t have this many troops!” Yang Liansheng stood up and said.

"Ok!"

"continue!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke up, indicating that...

Of those present, only Yang Liansheng was a true member of the Central Army and a graduate of the Military Academy. Even Chu Yunfei was far inferior!

"The current organizational structure and troop allocation of the new three armed forces have reached their limit!"

"While further expansion may bring some improvements, in the long run, it will definitely do more harm than good!"

"First, the command system will be under tremendous pressure. Second, the organizational structure will become more bloated, making mobilization inconvenient. More importantly, it will waste war resources!" Yang Liansheng said after a moment of contemplation.

If it were to develop in all aspects, it would be a larger version of the Jin-Sui Army. But to be honest, the Jin-Sui Army was one of the top armies on the entire Chinese battlefield and was the main force in the Second World War zone!

However, compared to the vast difference in troop strength at Yoshio Shinotsuka's disposal, this was clearly not the right path.

With the number of soldiers doubling to 70,000, the current organizational structure must be broken again, since there are now eight main divisions!

Furthermore, many other directly subordinate units will also see a significant increase in troop strength.

Another expansion?

That's not very realistic!

Surely we can't have twenty main divisions?

That would further impact the mobilization of the entire force!

"So, do you have any good ideas?" Xie Jinyuan asked with interest.

Yang Liansheng was among the first group of people to follow him, and it's clear that after the series of battles, this kid has fully matured.

He also possesses the demeanor of a great general!

"Commander!"

"If you want to solve this problem once and for all in the future!"

There's only one way!

After frowning, Yang Liansheng slowly spoke.

Internal group 5 伊九伊四⑵四三

As soon as Yang Liansheng finished speaking, everyone turned to look at him with serious expressions.

"The new three services will establish field armies!"

"Dismantle all existing organizational structures and build an integrated organizational structure with army groups as the combat units!"

"Establish a field army?"

"Lian Sheng! You're not kidding, are you?" Li Yunlong swallowed subconsciously.

While what Yang Liansheng said is indeed a problem, how to improve command efficiency and better utilize war resources in the rapid expansion of the New Third Army has become the biggest issue surrounding the entire New Third Army.

After all, the new three armies are now too big. It took Yan Xishan decades to build up the Jin-Sui Army!

The new three armies have only been established for a little over two months!

In terms of combat effectiveness, it far surpasses the Jin-Sui Army.

But what about forming an army group?

It still feels unbelievable.

"of course not!"

"Actually, it's not just army groups; field armies are all facing this dead end!"

“However, a fully-fledged field army is not suitable for us!” Yang Liansheng said in a deep voice.

Of course, another point is that opportunities on the battlefield are fleeting. By establishing independent command systems for each unit and utilizing the independent combat capabilities of the army group, the new three services can make greater use of all the war resources they currently possess.

"continue!"

Xie Jinyuan waved to interrupt Li Yunlong and continued gesturing.

"Commander!"

"In fact, the establishment of army groups is the best way to integrate current war resources. Army groups also differ from the original in their combat methods. They adopt joint operations of multiple services, have great mobility, and extremely high command efficiency. They can carry out close combat operations in various terrains and with multiple services!"

"However, all of this is predicated on the establishment of a command and control center with the Marine Corps at its core!"

Yang Liansheng spoke expressionlessly.

After Yang Liansheng finished speaking, everyone present fell into deep thought.

Clearly, in some ways, Yang Liansheng's words opened a new world for everyone.

"Lian Sheng!"

"What you said is indeed the best way!"

"But have you ever considered that it was Western countries that proposed the true combat method of army groups, meaning that the formation of army groups was based on mechanization!"

"It is completely meaningless to divide people based solely on this kind of organizational structure!"

Zhou Weiguo, who was standing to the side, slowly stood up and said.

Not to mention the whole of China, even in the whole world, there are only a handful of countries that have truly completed the mechanization process, and the army group is suitable for them!

But this is completely inapplicable to the current three-army system!

It wasn't just that mechanization hadn't begun, but also in terms of military units.

Even if that person in the mountain city racked his brains, he could only create a hybrid that didn't resemble anything else.

Yan Xishan had painstakingly managed Shanxi Province for many years, but he didn't have the confidence to achieve it. Therefore, the Jin-Sui Army was the pinnacle he could accomplish.

"Old Yang!"

"That's definitely a bit unrealistic!"

After a moment of contemplation, Ding Wei couldn't help but shake his head.

Yang Liansheng's blueprint was grand enough, but it had no practical significance for the new Third Army.

Not to mention that 90% of the entire New Third Army consisted of light infantry, the newly incorporated former Northeast Army was even more so.

"What Yang Liansheng said coincides with my thoughts!"

Just as a lively discussion was taking place below, Xie Jinyuan waved his hand and slowly spoke.

"Commander!"

"you……"

"The army group combat model is an inevitable trend. Similarly, the battlefield of the new three armies cannot be limited to the three northeastern provinces. They must have independent combat capabilities to better cope with future changes!"

Xie Jinyuan said in a deep voice.

Joint operations by multiple branches of the armed forces are the mainstream direction for the future, which is beyond doubt. More importantly, the new three services will definitely not be limited to one place in the future!

This is also the main reason why he told Lao Zhao that the entire new Third Army must make changes at this time.

A tall building rises from the ground, but the prerequisite is that the foundation must be solid, and the new army is clearly at such a critical moment.

"Commander!"

"Leaving aside other aspects of the mechanization process, the most important thing is the upgrading of weaponry and equipment..."

Zhou Weiguo swallowed subconsciously.

"And also! The structure of the independent command centers for each department!"

"This will take quite a while!"

"I will have Sun Chuanfu begin preparations for these. As for the upgrading of weapons and equipment!"

"It's not a problem that's too difficult to solve!"

Xie Jinyuan spoke in a deep voice.

The establishment of command centers in various departments and the establishment of relevant departments at all levels based on the current new three-army system will not take long. As for the upgrading of weapons and equipment, if we were to say who in the entire China has the qualifications or resources to do so, it would only be the new three-army system!

Because the new Third Army controls the Fengtian Arsenal, and the Fengtian Arsenal is currently undergoing its most significant transformation. If successful, it will quickly become the cornerstone for the new Third Army to become a mechanized force.

"Commander! Should our current troop strength be divided into two army groups?"

Yang Liansheng paused for a moment before speaking.
