【新唐人2014年08月22日訊】近幾個月來，中共軍隊人事變動頻繁。日前，第二炮兵參謀長高津，首次以「總參謀長助理」的新職亮相，填補了乙曉光7月升任「副總參謀長」後留下的職位空缺。分析指出，隨著軍隊一系列大換血，中共新領導人習近平已開始真正掌握軍隊，下屆軍委的佈局將在他的掌控之中。

據中共《解放軍報》8月18號報導，中央軍委副主席範長龍最近到駐西藏、青海的部隊調研，總參謀長助理高津、總後勤部副部長劉錚等隨同調研。這是高津第一次以「總參謀長助理」職務履新。

另據報導，中共總參謀長助理乙曉光，7月25號以「副總參謀長」的身份，出席了在北京舉行的一次軍方工作座談會。這是中共官方首次披露乙曉光履新的消息。

現年56歲的乙曉光，在2010年12月升任南京軍區空軍司令員，2012年7月晉升中將軍銜，前年年底，總參高層隨著中央軍委換屆而大規模調整，乙曉光在12月進京，出任總參謀長助理。

據了解，自2004年9月，軍兵種司令員成為中央軍委委員的「當然人選」後，海、空、二炮等軍兵種軍事主官的接班模式逐步演變為：先選拔人選到總參，擔任「副總參謀長」作為過渡，之後在中央軍委調整時，這些來自軍兵種的副總長再「回爐」軍兵種接班。這種接班模式在中共十八大前，魏鳳和接任二炮司令員時得以最終確立。

因此，日前履新的「副總參謀長」乙曉光和「總參謀長助理」高津，已經成為下屆空軍、二炮司令員的最熱門人選。

旅美政論家伍凡：「現在的軍隊架構主要是以陸軍為主，今後可能大軍區都要取消了，大軍區是以陸軍為主的，現在要改成海、陸、空、二炮聯合作戰，這樣的一個軍事架構，那麼要從海、陸、空、二炮部隊裡提拔新的人才。」

北京時政觀察人士華頗：「這屆軍委是18大新組建的，是雙方鬥爭所妥協的一個產物，我想這屆軍委的人事安排，習近平並不滿意，但是為了能夠順利接班，他就隱忍答應了，但是隨著徐才厚的落馬，給了習近平清洗軍內的一個最好的口實，所以就以反腐為名，對軍隊進行大換血。」

8月11號，據中共《解放軍報》報導，軍隊總政治部印發了一份提綱，指出要積極支持軍隊改革，推進領導指揮體制改革。報導還說，近兩年，中共軍方完成了一系列的大換血，在去年8月1號，大軍區正職調整結束後，今年2月新一輪將領調整已「塵埃落定」，涉及三大軍兵種以及七大軍區的30餘位高級將領。

伍凡：「習近平上來才兩年不到，他軍權沒有完全掌握住，經過這次清理了谷俊山和徐才厚之後，要把軍隊高層，中央軍委要清理，清理過程也順便要把整個軍隊的指揮架構、組織架構要進行改變。在這個過程中間才能慢慢掌握軍隊。我相信，把中央軍委改變了，軍隊的體制架構也改變了，這樣他才能算是真正開始掌握軍隊。」

有媒體指出，習近平對來自自己任職過的南京軍區的將官，普遍加以重用，現任南京軍區司令員蔡英挺，也將成為「總參謀長」熱門人選。而揪出谷俊山、扳倒徐才厚的劉源，可能在即將召開的十八屆四中全會上增補為「中央軍委副主席」。

華頗：「我想他要打破一種權力平衡，因為新的軍委的組成，是團派以及江系，還有習近平的人，但是習近平在軍隊安插紅二代的勢力，覺得太小了，所以他要加大這個勢力，可能要對軍委進行調整，劉源可能會進軍委。劉源肯定會受到重用。」

13號，《環球人物》盤點了中共現役34名上將。這些上將中，有10人是習近平時期晉陞的，其餘24人是胡錦濤時期晉陞的，也大多是胡、習所信賴的人。

美國《大紀元》新聞網專欄作者周曉暉指出，中共軍方高級將領在大換血後，前中共黨魁江澤民提拔的，或與其有關聯的高級將領已所剩不多。習近平所信賴的將領基本掌控了軍隊的關鍵位置，習因此獲得了軍隊強有力的支持，而軍隊也將為習拿下「超級大老虎」江澤民做後盾。

Large Scale Reshuffles in China Military New Military Commission Formed

Recently, the Chinese army frequently changed its personnel. Gao Jin, has been appointed to his new rank as Chief of Staff of the Second Artillery. He appeared in public as Assistant to the Chief of Staff, which position was briefly available after Yi Xiaoguang was appointed Major General, Deputy Chief of Staff. Analysts say that with the reshuffle of army personnel, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has truly grasped military power. The personnel of the Central Military Commission will be under Xi’s control.

The People’s Liberation Army Daily reported on Aug. 18, Fan Changlong, Deputy Chairman of the Central Military Commission went to Tibet and Qinghai military regions to do routine inspection. Gao Jin, Assistant to the Chief of Staff, and Liu Zhen, Deputy Minister of Logistics accompanied him, with Gao in his new rank for the first time in public.

Sources say that Yi Xiaoguang, Assistant to the Chief of Staff attended a Beijing military work meeting on July 25, in his new rank of Deputy Chief of Staff. Yi’s new identity was officially reported for the first time.

Yi Xiaoguang, age 56, was promoted Nanjing Air Force Commander in Dec. 2010.In July, 2012, Yi was named as Lieutenant General. At the end of 2013, high-level military personnel underwent major personnel changes. Yi went to Beijing in December, was appointed Assistant to the Chief of Staff.

Sources say that since Sept. 2004, Commanders became candidates for the Central Military Commission. Promotion procedure in.all 3 services was set out this way: First select candidate to be Major General Chief of Staff, Then take the position of Deputy Chief of Staff in the transition period. Later, when military commission personnel shuffles, the Deputy Chief of Staff would return to take over the Commander’s role. This procedure model was established when Wei Feng took over as Second Artillery Commander before the 18th Congress.

Thus Yi Xiaoguang and Gao Jin likely would separately be favorable candidates for the next Commanders of Air Force and Second Artillery.

Chris Wu, US-based political affairs expert: “The current military structure is dominated by the Army. In the future, it likely will cancel the large military regions. Large military regions were dominated by the Army, now it will combine with Navy, Air Force, and Second Artillery, as a unified fighting force. With such a military structure, they would select new leadership from it.”

Hua Po, Beijing current affairs observer: “The current military commission was set up in the 18th national congress. It was the result of compromise by two factions. I think Xi Jinping isn’t satisfied with the current personnel of the military commission. But in order to smoothly take office, he had to agree. Xu Caihou’s downfall gives Xi Jinping a good excuse to clear out the military. So the military has been largely reshuffled under the excuse of anti-corruption.”

On Aug. 11, PLA Daily reported that the Military General Political Department issued an outline. It requests to positively support military reform, pushing forward reform of the leadership promotion system. It said that in the past two years, the military had finished a series of personnel changes. On Aug. 1, 2013, large army regions chief personnel finished its changes. In February 2014, a new round of changes to the rank of general has been carried out. It involved 30 senior generals in three major army and services as well as seven major military regions.

Chris Wu: “Less than two years since Xi Jinping took office, he hasn’t completed control of military power. After Gu Junshan and Xu Caihou were taken down recently, he would clear out the military senior level and the Central Military Commission. It includes changing the personnel structure of order and management system. During the procedure, gradually he would grasp military power. I believe that only by changes to the Central Military Commission and Military structure, can he truly hold military power.”

Some media say that Xi Jinping worked in Nanjing in the past, he trusts military generals from Nanjing region and appoints them to important roles. The current Nanjing regional Commander Cai Yingting will become a favorable candidate for Chief of Staff. Liu Yuan, who took down Gu Junshan and Xu Caihou likely would become Deputy Chairman of the Central Military Commission after the upcoming 4th session of the 18th Congress.

Hua Po: “I think Xi wants to break the power balance. Because new personnel of military commission was dominated by the Jiang and Youth League factions plus Xi’s people. However, Xi has sent second Red generation in the military, which he felt weak, so he wants to strengthen more power. It’s likely he would reshuffle the personnel in the military commission. Liu Yuan likely would be appointed into the military commission. Liu Yuan definitely would take an important position.”

On Aug. 13, the Global People magazine listed China’s current 34 Generals. Amongst these Generals, 10 of them were appointed after Xi took office, and 24 of them were appointed during Hu Jintao’s tenure. Most of them were trusted by Hu and Xi.

Zhou Xiaohui, writer of US-based the Epoch Times news website says that senior generals are largely reshuffled. Of people, who were appointed by Jiang Zemin or linked with Jiang, not manywere left. Xi Jinping’s people have control of important positions in the military. Thus Xi has gained strong support there. Furthermore, the military would be a backup for Xi to take down Jiang Zemin, the “super big Tiger”.
