Chapter 1223 Navy Changes Commander

Pin Liuxiao! So I will look for Bu Fanheng's way. Except for the two of them being familiar with each other! A very important reason for "Wai" Mule is that the Fan family has always been close to the military. And among the older generation of the military, no one can compare to Fan Wubing in terms of influence.

This may sound a bit bizarre, but in fact, if you think about it, you will understand the reason.

Not to mention Fan Wubing's torpedo due to the snowstorm. He has already had a strong influence among the top military officials, and the various things he did for the military later were enough to impress many senior generals, especially after Fan Heng became a member of the Standing Committee. This gratitude turned into support in practical actions.

The more important point is something that no one can avoid, which is the issue of birth, old age, illness and death.

No one can escape the end of death, but how to delay aging and leave this world later is what everyone wants to do. Fan Wubing is a miracle doctor who can cure many difficult and complicated diseases through abnormal means, as evidenced by Lao Chang's incident.

With this in mind, even if the older generation can see through these matters of life and death, there is no guarantee that their descendants can also see through this, so Fan Wubing became a popular person. What's especially important is that the military is a system of its own, with unfathomable depths within it, but those who inherit the military's leadership are still the descendants of those big shots.

Therefore, Fan Wubing or Fan Heng's influence on the military is considerable.

Chen Guangyi is not an ordinary person. He is very aware of the powerful power of his old friend Fan Heng and Fan Heng's son Fan Wubing. He also knows how much he weighs. That's why he dares to seek the Navy Commander at this time. The location was carefully considered by him.

He is even very confident that as long as the number one commander does not object, he can sit firmly in this position with the help of Fan Heng, Fan Wubing and his son, and he himself is not a person who strives for fame and wealth. , he has deep feelings for the navy, so he also understands the current situation of the navy very well. He hopes that through his promotion, the navy will become more powerful, so that it will not be able to only protect the environment and people in the offshore area, but to Build a true blue water navy and travel across the oceans.

And this treasure of his was indeed secured. Fan Wubing calmly contacted several military bosses and settled the matter in an understatement.

There was no objection from the No. 1 commander. After the submarine crash, the top management was most concerned about rectifying the navy as soon as possible, promoting the upgrading of the navy as soon as possible, raising the level of weapons and equipment, and creating an adaptable force. It is a new type of navy in modern warfare, so it does not seem like a bad thing for the new navy commander to be familiar with the Fan family.

At least, when Chen Guangyi took office,

It was impossible for Fan Wubing, a big benefactor, to remain indifferent. It is impossible to charge too high a price, which is beneficial to the Navy.

Moreover, in this era, there is no talk of a certain dynasty usurping the throne, and no one can always occupy that position. As for Fan Heng, he will remain on the Standing Committee until his retirement. It was in a concave position, and there was no way he would have the chance to sit on it. I've never had that kind of thought.

Next, there is the investigation into the Navy submarine crash.

Published information shows that the Navy's wrecked submarine was a "Ming"-class fierce submarine. This is China's first-generation conventionally powered torpedo attack submarine independently developed in 1967 with the approval of the Military Commission. The central task of the development is to do its best To improve underwater navigation, to achieve this goal, researchers have conducted a large number of studies and experiments in three main aspects: reducing resistance, improving propulsion efficiency, and increasing propulsion power.

The Western-type submarine was delivered to the Navy in April 1974. Construction was suspended twice to design a modernized modified submarine, which required improvements in weapon systems, hydroacoustic equipment, communication equipment, navigation equipment, hydroacoustic countermeasures, and noise control while maintaining the overall performance of the original Western-type submarine. , improve living and working conditions, etc., and carry out various improvements to improve the boat's combat capability, survivability, maneuverability, concealment, reliability, safety, etc. to a certain extent.

Construction of the improved boat started in August 1988, and the boat was delivered at the end of 1990. It was finalized in 1993. So far, a small batch has been built and delivered to the navy. This boat adopts the pointed tail line type for the first time. The pipelines and valves of the superstructure were rationally arranged, the deck space was reduced, the water holes were improved, and high-efficiency propellers were designed. A heading autopilot and a depth autopilot are used. The submarine is guaranteed to have normal maneuverability within all navigation ranges.

According to overseas media reports, the highest-ranking officer and soldier killed on the submarine was a naval colonel, and the other 13 personnel were trainee instructors from the Naval Academy and technical support cadres from relevant departments.

According to the subsequent investigation, the official announcement was that on April 16, the boat recharged the submarine on its way back to the Weihai base in Qingdao. According to the procedure, Ke Dian needs to activate the diesel motor, which needs to burn a large amount of oxygen when activated. Therefore, the submarine needs to float close to the sea surface and extend the periscope and air intake valve above the command platform to the sea surface to inhale air.

But the investigation found. When the diesel motor was activated, the intake valve did not open due to a mechanical failure. After the diesel engine is activated, it absorbs a large amount of oxygen in the combustion boat.

Relevant data show that the oxygen content in the submarine dropped to zero in less than two minutes. Since the submarine was conducting silent training at the time, all telecommunications with the outside world were interrupted, so no one outside could discover the accident in time. However, according to the procedure, all hatches were closed at the time. Because the internal oxygen was absorbed, the air pressure was unbalanced, and the hatches of cabins one to seven were under negative pressure, it was impossible to open the hatches from the inside, even if the officers and soldiers tried to escape.

"The submarine went out to sea to participate in the exercise on April 2, and the exercise ended on April 12, and it was required to return to the base in a silent posture. The so-called silent posture is to close all contacts with the outside world. But four scum found the submarine floating off the coast of Changshan Islands on the 26th. After towing it back to the base, it was found that all officers and soldiers had suffocated to death. The date of the explosion recorded in the log was April 16. Fan Heng said to Fan Wubing after seeing the internal report.

"What a pity," Fan Wubing shook his head, not really believing the report in his heart. After all, some things in the military are confidential, and the internal report also uses false information.

"This is the investigation report given to the collection by the navy. "Fan Heng's words seemed to have some other meaning.

Fan Wubing was stunned after hearing this, and then he understood.

Obviously, the current naval leadership must be hiding something. After all, according to the report, the exercise started on April 2nd. The exercise ended on April 12th. Even if the radio silence was maintained, it would not take long to return to the base. However, the floating submarine was not discovered by fishermen until April 26th, which is very problematic.

How long was the silence at that time? It couldn't be as long as half a month, right?

Why was it Danmin who discovered the submarine first? Did the navy know about this? What arrangements were made for this?

Another most important question is what happened on the submarine at that time? What happened?

All these questions need to be answered by someone, but there is no clear statement from the Navy, which makes the top leaders feel very angry, and at the same time they feel that their influence within the Navy is too weak.

Fan Heng does not believe the authenticity of this investigation report, and of course many people do not believe it.

Disbelief is a very serious problem.

Therefore, Chen Guangyi's activities finally worked. At the Standing Committee meeting, when everyone discussed this matter, someone raised the issue of changing the generals, and Fan Heng directly nominated Chen Guangyi to take over the Navy.

As for why Chen Guangyi was asked, Fan Heng's answer was also very simple, "First, I know him. Second, he is a technician.

Third, Ran has both grassroots experience and leadership experience. "

Fan Heng's answer was very skillful. Everyone understood after listening to it. This was Fan Heng guaranteeing Chen Guangyi with his own identity. First of all, Fan Heng understood Chen Guangyi's character. Although this point was false, it was the most important point.

If you want to recommend someone to a position, you naturally have to have sufficient reasons, but one thing is very important. First of all, you have to have a reason to recommend this person. Fan Ting's so-called understanding of Chen Guangyi's character. That is to tell everyone directly that Chen Guangyi is my man, and I will be responsible if there is any problem.

For such a clear proposal, everyone needs to consider it seriously. Fan Heng has never made such a direct request for an important leadership position before, and openly stated that Chen Guangyi is his man, so everyone needs to understand this seriously. In addition, Fan Heng's background is closely related to the navy. Nominating Chen Guangyi is not for personal interests, but there is an inherent requirement for the planned modernization of the navy. This is also the most critical point.

In fact, who is nominated for the navy The commander has little to do with it, but if you have a suitable candidate who understands both technology and management, and understands both the grassroots and the top, the success rate will obviously be higher.

Several members of the Standing Committee discussed it, and then sat together with the leaders of the Military Commission to communicate. Finally, everyone unanimously passed Fan Heng's suggestion and decided to replace Chen Guangyi to try to rectify the somewhat chaotic navy.

On June 12, with the approval of the Central Committee, the Military Commission issued an order to appoint Chen Guangyi as the commander of the navy and relieved the original commander and political commissar of the navy. The next day, the investigation results of the cause of the naval submarine accident were announced to the public, stating that the accident was caused by improper command and operation.

As a result, the Military Commission decided to severely deal with the relevant personnel responsible for the major submarine accident. The deputy commander of the military region and commander of the North Sea Fleet and the political commissar of the North Sea Fleet of the Navy were given administrative demotions. At the same time, several other relevant personnel were given administrative dismissals, demotions and other disciplinary sanctions.

"Don't say, the intensity of this change of generals is a bit big. "After seeing this result, Fan Wubing couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Father Fan Heng said to his son, "In fact, the top leaders are also taking advantage of this issue this time, so it is inevitable that the action will be bigger."

From the content of the replacement, the grassroots units were not greatly affected, and it was even just a simple punishment of administrative demotion, but the high-level changes in the navy were very large. The commander and the political commissar were replaced, which can basically be regarded as an attitude of the top leaders towards the work of the entire navy in the past few years.

In other words, the top leaders were quite dissatisfied with the development of the navy, so much so that they would only be satisfied if the top and second-in-command were replaced, which seemed unlikely under normal circumstances. But this happened.

"Well, the new number one commander. Very courageous." Fan Wubing commented.

There was obviously something else in Fan Wubing's words, although Fan Heng could hear it. But he didn't pay much attention to him and just rolled his eyes at him. Then he said, "To rectify the navy and build a strong army, we need responsible leaders. On this point, I admire Commander No. 1 very much. Although he is a few years younger than me, he can see that He is more decisive than other members of the Standing Committee."

Fan Wubing nodded and acknowledged this.

In fact, he is also very clear that judging from this naval submarine crash, the navy does have many problems, and to solve this problem, we still have to start from the inside. But if the top brass wants a new and powerful navy, in addition to solving the internal problem In addition to problems, decisive substitution is also an essential step.

Otherwise, even if the middle and lower levels solve the problem, the top management is still controlled by those few people, which will always affect the overall situation. Therefore, the No. 1 Commander made up his mind this time to solve the navy's long-standing shortcomings in one fell swoop.

"But in this way, everyone will regard Chen Guangyi as yours. If he can't do his job well in the navy or something happens to him, it will affect your reputation." Fan Wubing couldn't help but think of this. He said with a smile to his father Fan Xiang.

"How can my reputation be better than having a powerful navy?" Fan Heng shook his head and smiled. It can be seen that Fan Heng still has great confidence in Chen Guangyi, an old friend. Fan Wubing is not very clear about this, but he also understands it. As long as Chen Guangyi is not the kind of person who is arbitrary and has little ability and likes to give blind orders, then he can rely on several cooperation projects between the military industry department under the Fan Investment Group and the military. It is still possible to greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the navy within a few years.

As for whether Chen Guangyi can control the large and small officers and soldiers within the navy and allow them to reorganize according to his own intentions, it depends on his personal charm.
