Xi Jinping called for “focusing on preparation for war, insisting on actual combat and actual training” and “ruling the military strictly and resolutely correcting formalism and bureaucracy. But the Chinese Communist Party’s military has been faking all kinds of training, and after all the interesting stories about “actual combat drills,” here are some more interesting ones.
How to cheat on a radio FM exam
On December 1, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported that “the day I completed the test in the examination room, the company commander did not break me down on the spot”.
The 80th Army Group, a land and aviation brigade staff sergeant Zhang Yi self-reported, the company commander suddenly informed “a mock examination of radio operation”, “looking at my face full of worry, the class of small Li gave me a ‘high trick’ “, “the test provides for the commissioning of 12 channels, the results of the test only 1 fixed-frequency 1 frequency hopping, you have to adjust two less in the middle, the Time will not be faster”, “the so-called ‘high trick’ In fact, the rules of the loophole: the test requires candidates to debug the 12 channels in the shortest possible time, the examiner designated two of the channels to broadcast information to test whether the channel is connected. The whole process, completely by secretly skipping one or two channels, can save a lot of time”, “This is a good idea, just do it!”
It seems that there are a lot of tricks in the Communist army, and many people have learned how to cope with tests, inspections and the like from their superiors, and they are often tried and tested, and it is not unusual to see them.
Zhang Yi continued to describe himself, “With the order of the examiner, I and the guys immediately into the intense operation, self-test, select the channel, adjust the frequency, while the next invigilator is not paying attention, I quickly skipped four or five channels, the time to shorten a lot, the final information copy also did not make mistakes, as planned in advance, I completed the assessment in the shortest possible time! “.
This person seems to be not the first time to cheat on the exam, and seems to be more skilled in the technique. I don’t know if others do the same, at the very least the person who is stumping knows how to do it.
Why did Zhang Yi reveal himself? He described again, “‘Each radio station temporarily added four channels to the test! Before I could recover from my joy, the company commander’s words caused the scene to fall silent”, “The company commander noticed the change in my expression and checked my radio specifically and soon found something fishy, only to change the reason and announce: ‘Frequency setting error, deduct 10 points! The company commander did not tear me down on the spot,” “In the subsequent commentary, the company commander said: ‘The assessment must be realistic, there is no room for half-hearted falsehoods, the examination room to exploit loopholes, fooling their own people, the battlefield The company commander said: ‘The test has to be realistic, there is no room for half-truths, exploit the examination field, fool their own people, the battlefield will pay a huge price, we have to monitor each other'”.
The company commander found someone cheating, or suspected someone cheating, indicating that this is not an accidental occurrence, or perhaps there was not only one person cheating, the company commander can not expose all, but can only ask to monitor each other. If the company commander was really doing someone a favor, it shows that there is a lot of nepotism and foul play in the Chinese Communist military. In any case, cheating on military tests without any consequences has become a Culture of deception.
The same dilemma should be faced by Xi Jinping, the company commander, really want to reveal one by one, the whole play can not be performed, only a general warning “strict governance of the military, resolutely correct formalism”, the substance of the accumulation of hard to return, can not be governed.
There are also tricks in the gym
On December 3, the Chinese Communist Party’s military network reported “the southern war zone navy a service ship brigade enlisted soldiers: ‘failure to repair’ trick wears out”.
The Southern War Zone Navy a service ship brigade private Lu Haodong self-reported that he was responsible for the gym, “one day, the war buddies in the gym after exercise, dumbbells scattered all over the floor, yoga mat confiscated, drink bottles did not throw to the trash can. I did not have time to clean up, I saw the inspection team appeared at the door. As a result, the notice came down the next day. I was not in good spirits all day after the briefing”.
The army’s gym management, the division of responsibilities should have standard procedures, but these do not seem to be important, cope with the inspection is obviously much more important.
How does Lu Hao Dong make coping? He went on to tell himself that “some of my comrades saw that I was different” and “gave me a trick, suggesting that some of the equipment be hung with a ‘malfunction for repair’ sign”. The problem of equipment placement was solved when everyone used it less”, “I was enlightened and immediately took action. Since then, comrades in the gym activities have become smaller, the use of equipment has also become less, not only the work is much easier, but also much less difficult to clean up and organize”.
Most people who have lived on the mainland will laugh when they see this, because there are many such things in China and it is not strange to see them.
Lu Haodong also said, “But it didn’t take long for this little trick to reveal itself. At the weekend, the vice captain came to the gym to exercise, see many equipment are hung up on the ‘failure to repair’ sign, they contacted the manufacturer to repair. The workers came to test and found that all the fitness equipment was working properly”.
In the Western professional army, if such things happen, the person concerned will at least be quickly dismissed, and in serious cases may be court-martialed.
But Lu Haodong’s confession says, “I had to give a hard-headed account of what had happened to the deputy brigade commander. ‘Ridiculous! Problems in the work, not to think about how to solve, but to think of trickery and slip! Hearing the harsh criticism of the vice captain, my face immediately reddened to the root of my neck. Seeing my embarrassed look, the vice captain moderated his tone and said seriously: ‘The meaning of maintaining the health and order of the gym is to facilitate the fitness of comrades, you are putting the cart before the horse'”, “That night, I removed all the I also received praise in the inspection and evaluation organized by the brigade at the end of October”.
More experienced people should have understood that this person had at least a personal friendship with the captain and easily passed the test after admitting his mistake. In a military camp, this type of work managing a gym should be considered a clean position, which the average person may not be able to fish for. Can such an army be expected to go to war and fight?
This may not be entirely blamed on individual officers and enlisted men; the culture of the CCP military is no different from that of the CCP officialdom, because there are more important things than preparing for war and fighting.
Politics is the top priority
On December 3, the Chinese Communist Party’s military website reported, “A department of the rocket army continues to set off a wave of learning the spirit of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Party Central Committee.
The report described that “since the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee was held,” “both in the company and at the post, rocket army officers and soldiers have been studying the spirit of the Plenary Session in depth through various forms and channels,” so that “the spirit of the Plenary Session has come closer to the officers and soldiers and penetrated their hearts. The spirit of the plenum has been brought closer to the officers and soldiers, and deeper into the hearts of the soldiers.
According to the general thinking of mainlanders, the content of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee is a so-called major policy, which is at most the level of the political instructor of the company in the army, but the Chinese Communist Army has to convey it to every soldier. Those who have not spent time in the Chinese Communist Army would probably find it hard to imagine that the Chinese Communist Army is indoctrinated in politics to such an extent.
The report also describes a number of details: a certain department of the rocket army “organized the standing committee of the task unit to go to the training field to send learning, to convey the spirit of the plenary session to the officers and soldiers in training at the first time”, “produced micro illustrations and micro extracts, and pushed them to the officers and soldiers’ cell phones”, and ” Through the light boxes, windows, boards and other media, the production of publicity panels, combing hot points, carry out a daily question and answer, the issuance of the Fifth Plenary Session knowledge points manual to deepen understanding”, “multi-channel learning, combined with the task of learning, a little time to learn”.
Seeing this, people should roughly understand why the professional training and management of the Chinese Communist army is so outrageous. It turns out that the people who really hold power in the army are these flatterers, who are full of thoughts of showing loyalty and climbing up the ladder, and should also be good at corruption; those who may have some real skills will, of course, be sidelined by such people; officers and soldiers who focus on studying military literacy will not be good at these political games, so naturally they will also stand aside. Practical training in the CCP military is certainly not the main job anymore.
After being indoctrinated to study, there is still a need to talk about mindfulness. “As a soldier,” Li Longchao, a political instructor in one of the ministry’s units, was quoted as saying, “we must be closely united with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core …….”
This is what concerns the entire Communist Party military because it is Xi Jinping’s primary concern. If this is not attended to at all times, the most capable people will not be rehired and may be suspected of having second thoughts. There are many of these big propaganda efforts to brainwash the soldiers on the one hand, and more importantly, to show their superiors, and in the end, all to Xi Jinping. This is why Xi Jinping had to emphasize “focus on preparing for war and insist on actual combat and actual training”.
As long as the Chinese Communist regime continues to exist, the Communist army will remain a tool of internal fighting for the Communist Party leaders, not only is it unlikely to become an army with a strong combat capability, but it is also likely to collapse at the first touch and flee from the battlefield. To expect such an army to fight in a war is a pipe dream.
