It is similar to sand table deduction, but different.
It needs to set actual data, such as terrain restrictions on marching and supply requirements, the combat effectiveness of different arms and weapons, casualty data of battles of different scales and arms, etc. With these data, it is equivalent to having
According to the restrictions of the game rules, the two sides of the game then conduct a simulated war game through the scheduling of troop formations.
War games have very practical uses.
Due to the complexity and changeability of actual battlefield conditions, when implementing a certain strategy and plan, it is necessary to first conduct feasibility analysis and result deduction calculations to evaluate and discover vulnerabilities.
It is now an essential subject in formal military teaching and military training.
The real founders of modern military training are the Prussian father and son Leswitz.
At the end of the 19th century, Prussia repeatedly defeated the European powers and went to other people's homes to play hooligans. This was largely due to this. "The Last Lesson" by Doude tells the story in this context (if you are interested)
, search on Baidu, you might get some interesting results.).
Lorraine looked at everyone and smiled and said: "Actually, it's very simple. We can call this a war game. It is to use soldiers to recreate the course of the war on a prepared terrain map or sand table. This is better than playing on a blackboard.
It's much more interesting to draw some dry lines.
And, more importantly, as long as detailed data is available, it can not only recreate past wars, but also preview wars that have not yet happened."
Jack's interest suddenly aroused and he said, "Let me tell you, it seems pretty good."
Lorraine looked at everyone sitting here and thought to himself: Since it is confirmed that the copyright is in his hands, and all the students here are his own, he is not afraid of leaking secrets.
Therefore, in order to enrich his classroom life, Uncle Lorraine immediately threw out the war chess and soldier push system of his era without hiding his secrets or using sandboxes or the like to fool people.
Conflicts ranging from company-level to company-level battle formations, battle formations from mid-level to regiment-level, and even long-term war simulations between two or more countries are all described one by one.
It's just that it involves specific data parameters, which need to be supplemented by experienced people like Jack.
Of course, regarding the most core item, in order to express the uncertainty of the war as an important tool, that is, regarding the use of the dice, Lorraine still concealed it a little.
There is nothing wrong with this. To protect intellectual property rights, look at Microsoft and other software. When did that unscrupulous kid ever disclose his source code?
Jack listened to his talk. He didn't expect Lorraine to have such an idea. His eyes almost popped out of his head when he heard it. He sat there as obediently as a primary school student, took a notebook, and kept writing in it.
Take notes.
The rest of the classmates are not fools. On the contrary, as heirs to the aristocratic family business, they have received elite education since childhood. All of them are shrewd, and as long as they have hair on them, they are like red-butt monkeys.
After listening to Lorraine's words, they immediately realized the amazing war wisdom contained in them. In addition, everyone would also be eating from this bowl of rice in the future. Therefore, everyone sat down and took notes.
Listen carefully to what he says.
Luo Lintaotao kept talking for a long time, and finally clapped his hands easily and said: "Okay. This is the basic framework. It is very simple, but it is indeed a difficult job to determine the decisive data. However,
For you, Mr. Jack, this must be just a piece of cake. Right?"
Jack's face turned green all of a sudden. A piece of cake? Although today is much better than in ancient times, there are a lot of war histories to read, and the data is well documented, but it requires searching one by one.
Then calculate the summary.
Lorraine looked at his expression and said cautiously: "Teacher Jack, look, I have already tried my best to write the book about the war. I really don't have the energy to do statistical work. I will give this to the consultant, right?"
You just promised me, we can't go back on it, right?"
Jack was stunned and thought to himself, this bastard boy is really good at playing tricks. He said helplessly: "Okay, I'll do that, and you have to write me a more detailed instruction manual."
Lorraine spread his hands and said: "That's good. You see, I have never been on the battlefield. I don't even know the exchange ratio between our cavalry brigade and the nomadic cavalry brigade. This kind of work is still the most time-consuming."
You old soldiers, haha, haha."
After I finished speaking, I couldn’t help but say haha.
In fact, he also knows that in this world where mages are flying everywhere, priests are everywhere, and there are as many warriors as dogs, the set of things he brought are not very useful. Instead of racking his brains to do them, it is better to throw them to the most familiar ones.
People in this field. Moreover, this seemingly simple thing will not be of much use without three or two years of repeated research and modification.
But once it is done, it will play a huge role just like the supercomputers of the 1970s. I will take the core calculations into my hands, and then set up a think tank company, also named RAND.
If any country wants to go to war with others and make a plan or something, it must first come to itself for consultation. Just the 1% consulting fee will be lenient.
But then again, it's enough for everyone to use this as a rough model and then play battles in class.
Just then, a melodious bell rang. There was a commotion in the corridor. Only then did Lorraine realize that she was having a great time, and it was already noon.
He turned around and saw that everyone was still sitting there, looking at him expectantly. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he laughed twice and said, "Should we go to eat now?"
Jack finally came to his senses and said, "Uh, yes. It's time for dinner. Let's all go eat."
As he said that, he stood up, then reached out and patted the densely packed documents that he had memorized, and sighed: "I never believed in genius before, but today I finally opened my eyes."
He paused for a moment and then said: "With this, in the war, everyone no longer goes all out with a blind eye and bullies the few because of the large number of people. Instead, we have a complete and systematic command. With those
The era of generals using their personal abilities to command large armies in battle may be coming to an end."
Everyone couldn't help but shudder.
Lorraine did not expect that this instructor would have such a forward-looking vision. She was stunned and secretly admired him. She was just using previous knowledge to get by, but he was really a genius. He only relied on previous experience.
A rough result can be inferred.
In fact, it was precisely because of the gradual concentration of royal power in Europe that the staff system gradually matured. They replaced the generals' competition of personal wisdom and perseverance and became the makers of various plans in the war.
, played a huge role. (The above is only my personal opinion.)
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, how could this place not have a decent staff system after fighting for so many years? The so-called staff officers were all just following the general, like an aide.
Small role.
But after thinking about it more carefully, he was relieved.
Apples have fallen from trees for thousands of years. But it was only in modern times that a man named Newton came up with the idea of the law of universal gravitation.
Many times, it's not that people don't see it, but that after seeing it, they don't think about it carefully and analyze it. If people like that can figure out the truth, they are called Aristotle, Newton, and Einstein.
, Edison...etc., such great people that everyone can look up to at a 45-degree angle.
As for those who cannot figure out the truth, everyone affectionately calls them fools. Most of the time, they are mostly fools.
Lorraine was thinking wildly and was about to walk out when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
When he raised his head, he saw everyone standing in front of him, looking at him with evil smiles.
Lorraine couldn't help but be startled and said: "What's wrong with you?"
Ade sighed and said: "Boss, you are doing something wrong. You think that to make such a complex and huge thing, everyone has to help, right? After it is made, it belongs to you.
Right?"
Lorraine suddenly realized that these ruffians didn't want to eat in the restaurant, but came to him to kill the big customers. He couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "Okay, okay. I understand. Isn't it okay for me to treat you at noon today?"
?”
Everyone looked at each other and immediately let out a burst of warm cheers.
Lorraine looked at them, thought for a while, and then said: "By the way, in this case, everyone should be more serious. After all, even after it is actually made, it will still require a lot of manpower when it is actually used."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Adeqi said: "Why do you want us to work for you?"
Lorraine looked at them and said: "How is it possible? We are all friends, how could we let you do that kind of thing? What I mean is that when we become a partnership, everyone will have shares and dividends will be distributed at the end of the year.
"
Everyone was immediately overjoyed and high-fived each other.
When he said this, he turned to look at Jack, and then said: "Teacher, I know you won't take the money. In this way, you will also have a share when the time comes. In this way, those inspection officials will probably not
What did you say?"
Jack thought about it and found that there was nothing wrong with it. He also didn't want to see his hard work go to waste. If he joined in, he could also prevent young people like them from making random jokes. He immediately nodded and agreed. Then because
Since he gave Lorraine the funds, he didn't interfere with them. He said hello and walked out alone.
