Chapter 197
When Bai Zhizhan arrived, the meeting was about to begin, but he was actually the only one left.
Zheng Jiangming did not go to the conference center. Although his personnel organization was left in the Navy Command and was considered a naval person, the specific work unit was the Military Intelligence Bureau, that is, the Sixth Bureau of the Imperial Guards. He was only stationed in the Navy Command to be responsible for intelligence liaison, so he did not be responsible to the Navy Command.
In addition, intelligence staff are not welcomed.
Not only in the Navy, but also in the Army.
There is no different reason: the predecessor of the imperial military intelligence agency was the military law department, which is similar in nature to the Western military police, that is, the military police.
Obviously, no unit of officers and soldiers like to deal with military police.
Bai Zhizhan's position is between He Yongxing and Li Yunxiang, on the right side of the chairperson of the ring conference table, and on the other side are Liu Xiangdong, Liu Xiangzhen, Li Hengjia and others.
Gui Boyong did not come, and the local fleet carried out missions in Xuhai, supporting ground forces to control the islands of the North-South Bean Islands.
Bai Zhizhan was in Gui Boyong's position, and Liu Xiangdong was in contrast, which was equivalent to saying that he was vaguely half a level taller than Liu Xiang.
The atmosphere was obviously a bit tense and full of gunpowder, but it had nothing to do with the seat.
There is nothing strange about it. The main topic of discussion at the meeting tonight, or the only topic is rewarding merits and practices.
As long as the credit and reward are involved, the officers of the two factions will become full of gunpowder. If nothing happens, it will be a miracle.
Just like when Zhu Shijian was there, the meeting was initiated and chaired by the Commander-in-Chief.
There is no way, only the commander-in-chief can control the situation such as this kind of matter involving the vital interests of officers and soldiers.
If someone else is there, you will definitely not be able to convince everyone.
At the beginning of Zheng Jiangming, Bai Zhizhan had already learned that a group of two people, mainly Liu Xiangbin, participated in Bai Zhizhan's book a few days ago. It was said that Bai Zhizhan did not act according to the combat plan and led the fleet deep into the East Ocean without authorization, and was responsible for the losses suffered. It sounded like Bai Zhizhan could win the battle without taking the third special fleet into the West Ocean without the loss.
Relatively speaking, there has not been any trouble with the Southern Fleet led by Liu Xiangdong.
After the meeting began, it became lively.
On the first question, there is not much difference between whom the first contribution is given. But then, in terms of the calculation of the main military achievements, there will be a big difference.
In fact, the key is one point.
Which fleet counts the military achievements of annihilation of the second main force?
Local fleet, or the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet?
In the past, this was not a problem at all.
The Third Air Special Mixed Fleet is commanded by Bai Zhizhan, so no matter who he is given to, this credit has nothing to do with the generals of the Southern Fleet faction.
But now, there is a lot of stuff.
Interestingly, He Yongxing felt that it should be considered for the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet. Because it was after the reconnaissance aircraft of the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet that Gaosi ordered the four battleships to sink themselves and transfer thousands of officers and soldiers to the cruiser to avoid martyrdom with the warships.
On Liu Xiangdong's side, he was a general of the Southern Fleet, but insisted that this was the credit of the local fleet and must be counted on the head of the local fleet. The reason is very simple. If the local fleet was not severely damaged, the four battleships of the second main force would never sink themselves. Next, they would definitely return with the Fourth Cruiser Team. Given the situation of the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet at that time, especially the carrier-based aircraft carried, they might not be able to sink the four battleships in the attacks launched in the evening, let alone at night.
It can be seen that the words of both sides make sense.
After all the talk, it actually has nothing to do with our fleet, but the main achievements should be considered to be the special mixed group, or to the third aviation special mixed fleet.
If the credit for annihilation of the second main force is considered to be on the third aviation special mixed fleet, then there is no doubt that the main merit will definitely belong to the third aviation special mixed fleet, and thus be recorded on Bai Zhizhan. On the other hand, if it is calculated to the local fleet, then the third aviation special mixed fleet is a little short of that. According to the results of the battle, the main merit should be considered to be on the special mixed fleet, which is recorded on Liu Xiangzhen.
To put it bluntly, it is the dispute between Bai Zhizhan and Liu Xiangzhen.
According to the results of the battle, the special mixed group sank four fleet aircraft carriers, a heavy cruiser and several small and medium-sized warships with displacement of 10,000 tons. In addition, it severely damaged a fast battleship and three heavy cruisers, shot down and destroyed more than 200 enemy aircraft, and killed and injured thousands of enemy troops.
On the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet, two fleet aircraft carriers and two small fleet aircraft carriers, six heavy cruisers and several small battleships and eight transport ships; in addition, two battleships were injured, several small battleships severely damaged, and more than 200 enemy aircraft were shot down and destroyed, killing and injuring tens of thousands of enemy troops.
To be honest, Bai Zhizhan is only two fleet aircraft carriers away. To be precise, the gap between two small fleet aircraft carriers and two fleet aircraft carriers.
In other aspects, the third aviation special mixed fleet achieved all the results that the special mixed fleet achieved exceeded that of the special mixed fleet.
The key is here.
The Special Mixed Group has four fleet aircraft carriers and four fast battleships. The total strength is twice that of the Third Air Special Mixed Fleet, but the results achieved are almost the same.
Also, the "Linghe" battle sank and the "Hengjiang" was severely damaged, which is an indelible stain.
What's more, the "Hengjiang" was once Liu Xiangzhen's flagship, and the "Linghe" was also affiliated with the Second Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, under Liu Xiangzhen's command.
The third aviation special mixed fleet lost dozens of carrier-based aircraft, none of which was sunk in battle, and none of them lost their combat effectiveness due to injury.
After this comparison, Liu Xiang is not a little worse than that.
If you calculate the main skill to Bai Zhizhan, how can Liu Xiangzhen do anything in the future?
In the next stage of combat operations, what reason is there to let Liu Xiangzhen go to the front line to command, rather than sending Bai Zhizhan, who has more outstanding capabilities, to go to the battle?
In the second phase of the combat operation, all fleet aircraft carriers must be mobilized, and only one commander is needed.
According to the Imperial Navy's military merit evaluation criteria, fleet aircraft carriers and battleships belong to the main battleships, while small fleet aircraft carriers are large warships of heavy cruisers, and they adopt a step-by-step comparison method from top to bottom. First, the number of main battleships is compared. Only when the same situation is the large battleship is compared.
It can be seen that the four battleships of the second main team are really important.
In addition, the results of sinking the two battleships of the first main team were counted on the two fast battleships, and these two fast battleships have not yet been included in the rankings, so they do not participate in the military merit evaluation. Only officers and soldiers, including the captain, can receive corresponding rewards and rewards.
That's true. As long as the achievements of sinking the four battleships of the second main team are calculated to the local fleet, the special group commanded by Liu Xiangzhen will be the main achievements.
The third aviation special mixed fleet will fall to third, which is considered the last place.
Although Bai Zhizhan is half a local fleet and no matter how different you and I are from Gui Boyong, he will definitely have to calculate separately when rewarding merits and practices.
When he was transferred to the First Aviation Special Mixed Fleet, Bai Zhizhan's files were transferred to the Navy Command, and the personnel matters had nothing to do with the local fleet.
In this way, who else can compete for command with Liu Xiangzhen?
Is Gui Boyong?
It was obviously impossible. He was still a member of the local fleet, and the generals of the Navy Command were commanding the special mixed fleet.
It can be seen that the so-called evaluation of military achievements is actually to gain command and lay the foundation for the upcoming second phase of combat operations!
