Chapter 2.09 Joining the Army and Thinking about History
Hyperspace teleportation is a technology developed by the Allied Forces. It attempts to use strong enough electromagnetic energy to complete the distortion of time and space and facilitate the transmission of matter.
Disadvantages: If transmitted to the wrong location, the overlap of solid matter will cause a tragic explosion. (For example, transmitting a destroyer to an aircraft carrier.)
The pilots of the mechanical vehicles involved in the teleportation bear risks no less than those of ultra-high-altitude skydiving.
Relatively speaking, individual soldier teleportation through time and space is even more demanding.
It takes "Jie Hongzi"'s talent to be sensitive to time and space to control small space-time equipment. Until the end of the war, the number of space-time space troops for the Allied forces in a certain timeline was still very few. (Now, Wei Keng's talent
It’s exactly like this, and it’s very strong.)
The Europeans have a strong sense of adventurism. They developed paratrooper tactics during the First Global War and achieved many tactical successes in cutting into the rear. Such benefits allowed them to insist on developing hyperspace transmission technology. Although China has the same
The technical level is high, but the culture of "a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall" has made the progress of this type of technology very slow.
but now!
The Chinese military strategists don't have the guts to use the "Five Ghost Transport Technique" to transport troops, but they do have the idea of using this technology to send messages across thousands of miles, and they are very brave.
After Wei Keng successfully completed the commander test at the Mobei Military Exploration and Research Base, the commander-in-chief and the scientific and technical personnel under his command have not yet figured out Wei Keng's identity.
The Commander-in-Chief initially thought that Luo Shui had just found an ordinary qualified person to demonstrate his skills, and he wanted to take the initiative by taking "decisive measures". He immediately detained him on the grounds of military and national affairs.
that's all,
When Mr. Wei Keng saw that the armed soldiers invited him to live temporarily in a small courtyard, he thought that these warriors in China had turned the world upside down? He came to demonstrate the technology, and this is what they do for business?
…
In the high-tech building of Mobei Camp, the technical officers pointed to the condition of Jie Hongzi on Wei Keng's body during the military test just now, and excitedly recorded their findings.
They are all technical people, and everyone has the Sharingan.
Because the researchers in the camp were also working on related technologies, they determined at a glance the military information transmission system sent by Luoshui. The electronic components might be a little advanced, but there was no revolutionary breakthrough.
The core is that this person is very special. The military research officer said: "Luoshui is very lucky, and he has just screened out one person in millions."
Therefore, I propose that the General of the Army detain this person without discussing business with Luoshui. Should he be retained for the sake of the military? That is not called detaining, this is called urgent recruitment!
This little calculation is very good. If Wei Keng were an ordinary person, Luo Shui might really suffer from this dumb thing.
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Keng was still looking at the vertical military recruitment book in front of him and thinking wildly, "Dad Hua Mulan, what I received is: Khan's army will be strengthened, twelve volumes of military books, each with his name on it." This is it.
Isn’t that what it is?
"Ding dong~" The electronic door opened.
The Commander-in-Chief came here accompanied by his entourage. After seeing Wei Keng, he forced a smile on his face and apologized quickly: "Brother, I misunderstood and offended. I really didn't expect that you are the clan of Luoshui."
From then on, Wei Keng realized the whole situation. Of course, if the honest and honest soldier in front of him said it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding. Mr. Wei has always had a good temper and would not show off his face.
Wei Keng: "You make money, business is not shabby."
The Mobei Army camp cannot keep Wei Kengqiang as a strong man, but it does not want to let Wei Keng go. And Wei Keng is here to intervene in the equipment, communication hardware equipment and software supply chain of the Chinese army, even if the other party is a
The wolf also wants to dance with it.
Then the two sides renegotiated cooperation matters, and the Ministry of War gave Wei Keng the military rank of Chinese Army Staff General (Colonel), and Wei Keng also had to cooperate with the Ministry of War in the research and development of new battlefield communications.
Mobei Camp seems to have achieved its previous idea and can still keep Wei Keng for a long time, but he can't be used like a strong man.
The Chinese Army Staff General given to Wei Keng by the Ministry of War is definitely not an empty title. He controls three departments (battalions) in the experimental camp in Mobei.
There is a mechanical armor department, a heavy combat vehicle department, and an artillery assault department, with an aviation squad.
Below the subordinates is the division (company),
The Mechanical Armor Division has two tank divisions and four mechanical armor divisions. Under one tank division in this plane, there are 15 lightweight main battle tanks (Kirin main battle tanks).
The Heavy Tank Division consists of four tank divisions and two mechanical armor divisions. This tank division is equipped with ten heavy tanks (Zhurong-class heavy tanks) and two magnetic crossbow anti-aircraft vehicles.
As for the artillery section, there are more than 60 large and small self-propelled artillery and long-range rocket launch vehicles.
Judging from this organization, the heavy troops held by General Wei Keng are almost an armored brigade!
The military strength of the armored brigade can only be mastered by the deputy general level in China. The corresponding military rank in Europe is brigadier general, a brigadier general who holds actual troops. Of course, the brigadier general rank can also command a mechanical infantry division (about 15,000 people).
).The corresponding officer in the Shenzhou Infantry Division is called the commander.
As for the higher-level military ranks, in China, they are the commander-in-chief, which controls a military force of 30,000 to 50,000 people. In Europe, they are also generals, major generals, and lieutenant generals.
The general in charge of commanding the entire theater in Europe corresponds to the real general in China, which is the four general titles inherited from the Han system: "General, Hussar, Chariot, and General Wei".
Senior General is the limit of the initial rank that the Minister of War of China, Gansu and Shaanxi can give Wei Keng. This can be promoted continuously, but it can only be promoted after 7 or 8 years of joining the army, or with outstanding military exploits.
…
Regarding Wei Keng’s appointment in the army, it has no impact on the actual operation of Luoshui Group!
It will be shown in the TV series that the capitalist is busy with the development of the entire group, as if such a large group cannot survive without him, but in fact, it is the CEO, that is, the current major shopkeepers, who are doing the hard work.
As for the plot of the CEO stealing equity and then selling the company. This is only possible in the era of free capital. In the stage of monopoly capitalism, whether it is the East or the West, anyone who dares to have such thoughts is seeking death!
Especially in a clan system like China’s!
Someone from the Zong family has become an official in the court and is no longer able to take care of business, and then all the houses in the family rush to take the opportunity to carve up the family? It’s impossible.
Although Wei Keng did not enter the court as an official and influence the central government's policies, serving as a military attache in Mobei and outside Yumen Pass was actually no less than a local official in the southeast.
Many industries far outside the Great Wall can run relatively smoothly if they have people in the military.
Although China does not allow private rewards for the army, military supplies must always be purchased locally, right? Food, clothing, fuel, etc., these must always be accounted for, right?
As a giant and prominent clan in Guanzhong, it is too easy to exert some power to the military in the area.
The salaries of middle and low-level military attachés in China are limited, so they will slightly increase their food supplements, travel supplements and other benefits. The grassroots soldiers will also be given more meat and meals, so that they can be responsible for arranging work after retirement.
Wei Keng was very young and had just started his military career, so he had plenty of time to display his "personal charm".
In the East, as long as the clan influence is not swept away and combined with commercial capitalism, this situation will occur, even if the people recruited do not break the rules openly, do not have financial and salary personnel, and do not let the soldiers sing "After eating and paying,"
"Eat the commander-in-chief's food, take the commander-in-chief's money, and fight for the commander-in-chief." However, the local popularity and business connections of the clan behind him can still help him win over the hearts and minds of the military.
Wei Keng was very popular after joining the army, and of course he also did impeccable work in business!
…
Qin Tongli year 2194, May.
After joining the army, Wei Keng had hundreds of "luxury cars" on hand, and he felt itchy in his heart if he didn't let them all move. In the Pandora plane, he didn't have enough tanks to hold his fingers.
So Wei Keng applied for a long-distance mechanized march every month, and actively signed up for various actual combat troops in the Western Desert. Then every day he discussed tactics with his subordinates and generals.
Unmanned warfare does not mean that there is no need for soldiers. If you think there are unmanned weapons and want to kick people aside, you are obviously a child who has played too many games.
Unmanned armed forces only replace people to perform dangerous combat tasks, but people still have to figure out how to implement them.
This is similar to an automated factory. The robot itself cannot think about how to work and needs engineers to adjust it.
In every military exercise, officers and soldiers from various ministries are required to summarize practical problems, such as personnel transfers during battles, fire cover, and encounters with various attacks. For this reason, there are insufficient manpower, and Wei Keng also involves lecturers in these tasks.
In the middle, reports are reported from the grassroots level, the middle level draws on local materials to solve the problem, and high-level meetings are held every month to make changes in the military system.
Having stayed in the Pandora plane for seven years, Wei Keng has his own understanding of "being able to fight, being able to fight".
If the non-commissioned officer group of the legion becomes the norm of "having nothing to do", then the hierarchical authority will continue to be maintained from top to bottom, and the old will suppress the new. This kind of thing is the most common in the colonial army. The colonial army has always been
There is no need to think from below, just obey.
Wei Keng was quite disgusted with the colonial-style military style. In his previous life, in entertainment, he always watched a certain Nanbang promote his country's army and how well-behaved it was, so he successfully understood the "negative teaching material" version. It helped him understand the meaning of the positive teaching material: Discipline is for
It is true to maintain the organization, but the organization is for victory, and what is the use of formalism that has nothing to do with achieving victory?
Therefore, Wei Keng maintains a strict discipline model under his command, which is to reward and punish attendance based on the completion of actual military drills.
Such a formal style of doing things reassured the relevant personnel in charge of military affairs in Mobei: Although this man from the Luoshui Group is not an officer who graduated from an orthodox martial arts hall, he is not an unlearned officer.
A playboy with no skills. He can even be said to be a talent.
By the way, in China, Wei Keng was admitted to a famous academy in Xijing based on his scores, not relying on cover. The military department in China could not recruit such students on ordinary days.
…
Of course, the yellow sand is rolling in, the military chariots are humming, and the missile targets are cracking. The process of Wei Keng's busy work is not noticed above.
In the eyes of the Ministry of War, allowing Wei Keng to stay in the army and command the troops was a compromise made to allow the Technology Department to continue to develop technology.
The Technology Department didn't think so. They knew from the beginning: The scale of the macron phenomenon manifested by Wei Keng in hypercommunication was so large that no other example could be found.
The Technology Department screened a large number of young people and found many candidates who matched Jie Hongzi's characteristics. However, the amount of information that could be transmitted was very small. The highest talent was four orders of magnitude less than Wei Keng's, which meant that he was short of 10,000 people.
unit.
Military practicality is impossible unless electronic component technology can be greatly improved.
And this is not what the Military Technology Department can accomplish! The Technology Department can only use existing mature process indicators to develop military technology.
Improving the performance of electronic components to three orders of magnitude! This is not something that can be achieved by allocating money and investment in temples. Rather, it requires national policies to protect the relevant industrial technology departments and ensure that the market can respond to nearly trillions of profits every year.
Currently, in the Shenzhou system, Luoshui is the largest supplier of electronic equipment.
So right now, this newly established experimental mechanized camp, whether in terms of technology or personnel, Shenzhou is being led away by Wei Keng.
[This is like Russia and India jointly developing the Su-57, with Maozi holding the technology and the production chain in his own hands. India joined the cooperation, but later found out that it was only Kaizi who paid for it. 】
Wei Keng did not admit at first that he was treating China's Ministry of War as a traitor.
He emphasized to himself (hypnosis): I just successfully promoted a concept → it will take more than ten years to be practical. Wei Keng just asked the Ministry of War to implement this concept project first, so that he can contribute to the development of China.
.
In the end, Wei Keng couldn't bear his conscience and admitted against his will: Hey, this is just a routine.
This routine was not something that an honest man like Wei Keng could come up with. It was something Ke Feijia and Wei Qiangliu asked him to do in their proposal.
In the parallel timeline, Wei Qiang is not as weak as Wei Keng. He immediately took the initiative after selling the technology, but there is no script of "being put under house arrest for a short time".
And the reason why Wei Keng did this! Of course, China has fallen behind. If it does not make up for it, it may lose part of its national power in the future.
…
There has been no progress in the hyperspace communication technology in China, but Su Xiong in the north has solved it!
They are not taking the silicon-based route but a different carbon-based route. To be more precise, they are not using nano-level technological processing techniques, but a biological route.
The Soviet Union determines the route through the development of psychic technology, activates the front lobe of the brain in Jiehongzi, and uses implant surgery to allow soldiers to passively obtain psychic communication from a certain center.
According to the information provided by the system that Wei Keng can link to, the Soviet research institute is located near the mouth of the Ob River. The entire base is covered by numerous high walls, and magnetic storm towers are deployed around it to prevent prying eyes from all parties. All internal research is difficult for the outside world to explore. Only after the timeline of Allied victory can the dark research inside be discovered.
This is a technical route that China would not have thought of.
When he joined the army, even if Wei Keng did not have the identity of the head of the Luoshui Group, his life would not be in danger during the detention. At most, he would be forced to sign a young man agreement.
In China!
Research in the technical field of the Ministry of War, as long as it involves ethical aspects, is closely watched by the scholar-bureaucrats in the temple.
No, Western purebred horses require all kinds of inbreeding, sometimes direct mating between the first, second, and third generations. This kind of thing has been suppressed by the masters of science for hundreds of years. Not to mention humans. .
Now that the Soviet Union has taken the lead in this area of technology, in the original timeline, it will have a window of advantage in communication command technology.
This window period is very short because compared with silicon-based routes, there is an upper limit to the biological information transmission power.
The route Wei Keng has chosen now is the most difficult route, but it is also the route with the greatest potential for development in this plane.
…
July has passed, and after midsummer, Wei Keng, sitting in the Mobei underground military base, analyzes the military exercise data.
In the simulated attack, Wei Keng plans to add two elements, air support and short-range ballistic missile support (400 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers is short range).
After putting down his pen, Wei Keng looked at the world map at this time, staring at Europe and China. In the short term, it was a technical contest between the two sides, but in the long term, it was a contest of civilized thinking.
These two civilizations are civilizations with huge differences in history. In the cycle of development, there is a regular process of formatting. It's just that the focus of formatting is different.
One focuses on "etiquette" formatting, and the other focuses on "ideological (moral)" formatting.
At the end of Eastern society, the cumbersome etiquette of the ruling classes from the common people on up, which were used to set off solemnity and sanctity, and to maintain the order of social hierarchy, were purged after a change of dynasties. The beginning of all dynasties in Eastern history was everything
Simple.
After the second millennium of the main world, the core areas of Eastern civilization and even the ancient clothing and hair crowns were not preserved. Instead, they were picked up as treasures by the surrounding historically dependent countries as evidence of a long history.
Western-style thinking, morality, and all kinds of correctness will develop to an extremely rigid level in every period and will not tolerate other dissent. This happened once in the Middle Ages, and also once in the first hundred years of the second millennium. And when all this
When the burden is overwhelming, tear everything down, and then take the most advanced technology, the coldest social management, and run rampant with the simplest concepts! But this will create a new path in practical studies.
Etiquette formatting wipes out the red tape of the past, making Eastern society like a computer system without many plug-ins. Then when we enter the new era and choose new things, we have more material and manpower margins.
Invest in the direction that your social and moral values think is right.
Formatting thoughts is to throw away all kinds of complex moral thinking, and then re-establish morality and order by the victorious king based on the most primitive sacred worship and the concept of the king's hierarchical order. However, the garland of the old forces showing their noble status does not
Like the East, it will be regarded as a ruined country and burned to the ground, but will be owned by the new king.
It can be seen that Western and Eastern civilizations rely on different anchor points in the process of inheritance.
One is that after losing the social order system, relying on the poor middle and lower classes who inherited cultural ideas to form a new dynasty that consumes less social energy and rebuild social order.
The other is that after losing the moral system, it still remembers the glory of the social hierarchy system. In the end, the winner gets the gem that remembers everything and re-establishes a new moral system.
As for the dual formatting of etiquette and thought? If both the social order system and moral ideas are lost, then every time a civilization is severely damaged, as the population and economy recover, it basically becomes a completely different civilization. This is the case in the South Asian subcontinent.
A reincarnation civilization.
Wei Keng slowly turned around from the world map: "Well, these two routes have their own merits. It's just~" Wei Keng clicked on the system to prompt the following series of plots, and sighed: "Now is our turn
