Chapter 918 The underlying logic of building an army
"Hahaha, these guys are so miserable?" Lieutenant General Saiyo looked at the "casualty" report of both sides handed over by the adjutant. Not only did he not feel enslaved at all, but he slapped the table with joy: "They have already done this this time. I am cautious and steady, even a little conservative, and I finally didn’t fall for your little tricks.”
"It's not me, it's Major Akinayama Hachiman." Yu Lian said quickly: "Last time, the last time, and this time, it was all done by that guy."
"Haha, that's not important. What's important is that even if I wasn't being plotted and started a tough fight, I still ended up like this. I originally thought that after several months of military drills, I should be able to I have almost taken out all the inventory in my brother's belly, but I never expected that it would surprise me every time." Lieutenant General Saiyo looked at Yu Lian with a very subtle look, as if he was looking at a blind eye that could never be fully opened. Box-like.
"I always feel that you seem to have a very complete set of tactical thinking on land warfare... No, it can even be regarded as an army doctrine. I know that in addition to being a genius psyker, you should also be a strategist. You are talented. However, I never thought that you would focus on studying land warfare."
It is inevitable that General Seyo will find it strange. As we all know, in this generation's civilization, due to the psykers who attribute their great power to themselves, and the grave diggers who attribute high technology to the ruins, some of the so-called progress is entirely in the form of deities. Those who climb up the ladder lack the foundation of step-by-step procedures. And the one that is most affected by this is land warfare.
Everyone has entered the interstellar age too quickly, and fighting gangs in narrow and cramped steel passages has naturally affected the development of surface tactics. Therefore, whether it is the well-equipped and well-trained Imperial Armored Grenadier, or the large-scale The Starship Guards of the Alliance all like to imitate the wild boar that has its butt lit, charging forward wildly and deciding the winner in the shortest time. Even if they spread out their battle array on the vast wilderness of the planet's surface, they are still the same. in this way.
More importantly, what determines the outcome of a war in this world is still the decisive battle between fleets in space. As long as the orbital air supremacy outside the atmosphere is lost, the army on the surface will be a lamb to be slaughtered.
It was indeed hard for General Seyo to imagine that a promising star like Yu Lian would devote his attention to studying land warfare tactics.
Yu Lian smiled and said: "Unless it involves burning glass or directly using a colossus to wipe the map, orbital bombing will not be omnipotent. As long as our enemies still rely on a stable and habitable planet to survive as civilized social intelligent creatures, then There is still a lot of room for research in the battle for planetary strongholds.”
"Is that why you will use this aspect to enhance our combat effectiveness?" He nodded thoughtfully: "Indeed, in terms of space fleet, our country's national strength and technological strength are there, and it is still difficult to compete with the Alliance Empire. Yes, we can achieve some overtaking in corners from the perspective of army tactics..."
Yu Lian felt that the Lieutenant General was really overthinking. He simply felt that although everyone already had so many smart weapons and weapons of mass destruction, the tactical concepts might not be as good as those during the Napoleonic Wars. This was really against the rules. It’s my aesthetic. As a patient with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder, I have an obligation to normalize my painting style.
As for whether it is possible to achieve overtaking in corners... Yu Lian really does not dare to have such hope, at least it is absolutely impossible to just put his expectations here.
"However, compared to revolutionary tactics, there should be deeper reasons for the combat effectiveness of your troops, right?" Lieutenant General Seyo said.
Yu Lian glanced at the other party and thought that the leader of the community marine system was indeed knowledgeable, so he smiled and said: "General, what do you think is the most effective army in the cold weapon era?"
?”
If it is a rough man with no culture, or a literate and arrogant noble with knowledge and no culture, the answer will probably be "Elite knight with good family background, well-equipped, well-trained, and brave to death for glory" and so on.
Yes. However, General Seyo, a tall man who almost went to art college, tilted his head and thought for a while, but said: "Probably a yeoman farmer."
He added: "You are the kind of self-cultivator who can support a family of wife, children, and children by having land and a house, working during the busy farming season, training during the slack farming season, and doing odd jobs."
"Then it's the same in this era." Yu Lian said with a smile: "It's just that in addition to the homesteaders, we should also add industrial workers."
"Yes, there were no factories in the cold weapon era." General Saiyo reacted immediately.
"The so-called yeoman farmers are because they have nothing but a tax-collecting government. Without lords or landlords, villages from all over the country can still gather together from time to time to eliminate bandits and stabilize the place." Yu Lian shrugged:
"Then the question now becomes, if we were in the era of industrial workers, what should they have?"
This time, even the well-educated Lieutenant General Saiyo couldn't help but be startled and suddenly fell into a dilemma. His artist's keen and emotional side told himself that if the discussion continued, the situation might be a bit dangerous.
Already.
"Ah hahaha, maybe it's because Xiaguan is a psychic and has stayed in the world of metaphysics and occultism for too long, so he always likes to think wildly." Yu Lian shrugged and said, "But, what you said
The underlying logic should fall here. So, it sounds like it’s particularly difficult to promote, right?”
"It sounds like it's really not easy to promote." He responded with a relatively awkward smile, but frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
So, the exercise ended like this, but the result was actually very good. The security team and the militia finally knew that they were good at fighting, and that they were special, because they were filled with full confidence, and they really
With the temperament of a strong army. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lieutenant General Seyo began to select elite members from the sand civilian militia and local police force, and began to prepare to form the 38th Blue Star Community Marine Division, commonly known as the "New
Master Yumen".
The lieutenant general is the director of the Marine Corps and a member of the National Defense Commission and Military Command. Although he is relatively low in ranking, he is still at the top of the military. The establishment and training of new troops is within his authority.
This is no longer about joining the other party if you can't beat it, but letting the other party join you if you can't beat it. General Saiyo is worthy of being an old man, and he uses his authority so well that he is pure. In this way, how can he be called someone who loses to himself?
What about losing? Let's practice among the police. It's normal to lose and win. Bumps and bumps are inevitable. The Marine Corps doesn't lose face. In addition, the garrison and militia have become the Marine Corps, and the soldiers receive military pay.
It has gone up a lot, and the organizational relationship of the officers has also moved from the local to the central government, which naturally brings great benefits.
This is not called a win-win situation, so what else can be considered a win-win situation?
Of course, Yu Lian felt that the so-called "New Yumen Master" was too regionally distinctive. Besides, the number thirty-eight really made him think about it. If possible, he would be called "Long Live Master" in the future.
That is of course excellent.
However, whether it is the official Marine division number or the granting of a special service number, it needs to be approved by the Military Order Headquarters and the National Defense Commission, but Lieutenant General Seyo said that he can take things ahead.
"So, did the Earth side really approve your proposal? Who should be the division commander?"
"Of course your words are the best, but Senior Commander Ichijie is too unqualified for you." Lieutenant General Saiyo said.
Yu Lian thought to himself that if these words get out, others will think that you are going to praise me and kill me. If you become a division commander within three years of joining the army, unless it is an era of change and strife when the world is in chaos and war, or you are the top big man in the empire.
Noble.
However, looking at General Seyo's expression, he seemed to really think so: "You have already been a dreadnought captain, and now you are a division commander, others will think that I am suppressing you. If word spreads, it will even surprise the allies.
"
Of course, Yu Lian, the captain of the dreadnought, is just a self-proclaimed captain, but now all countries agree that the scarlet dreadnought is his ship. After all, he was the one who captured it "single-handedly". Even the Community said it was going to take
The ships were mobilized back to the mainland, under the guise of maintenance and scientific research and testing, and no new captains were even appointed.
"...Tsk, what does our own personnel issues have to do with our allies?" Yu Lian snorted coldly.
Lieutenant General Seyo was not sure whether the other party was pretending not to understand or really not understanding, so he added: "Of course, not only the friendly countries, but also the reaction of the earth must be considered."
Yu Lian actually expressed his understanding. After all, he was too deeply involved with the New Yumen, and once the Thirty-Eighth Division was formed, it would be almost equivalent to the disciples of the New Yumen, and they were so good at fighting, if he really became the division commander
, I am afraid that the Gong Gong princes of the earth will not be able to sleep.
"I will slowly look for candidates for the division commander, and there will definitely be a suitable candidate. Please rest assured, I still have some say in the Marine Corps system. I dare not waste such a strong army."
Lieutenant General Saiyo had given himself a lot of face, and Yu Lian felt that this uncle was indeed manageable.
In short, the daily training work continued, as if the conversation after the exercise never happened. However, according to Deng Zhengqing, after the incident, Lieutenant General Saio asked him to copy a copy of Mr. Qi's
"Original Theory", prepare to go back and study it carefully.
"You and Lieutenant General Seyo know each other?"
"When Lieutenant General Saiyo was young, he practiced Crystal Fist under our family's dojo for a period of time." Deng Zhengqing said: "He is my uncle according to seniority."
"...This is considered to be human-to-human transmission." Yu Lian couldn't help but sigh, saying that he was happy to see the success.
In short, after this period of training, the combat effectiveness of all Marines from the "Hell Parachute Division" on down has been improved more or less. At least, with the help of the Yu Company, they
I already know how to do civil work, how to rearrange fire points, how to use long-range firepower and drones to create gaps, and even understand who is suitable for assault and outflanking and who is suitable for filling lines.
This point has been verified by the N-year military exercise held by us in the New Yumen this year after the subsequent arrival of the Allied Forces. The Minlan and the Circassians are also among the few powerful countries in the galaxy. The former's comprehensive national strength and scientific and technological strength are in
On top of the community, the latter has a strong folk custom and is the master who dares to directly attack the Imperial Guards.
However, the marine forces led by these two countries were beaten by the Hell Parachute Division, which held their breath during the exercise. Before they could launch three rounds of charges, they were bombarded with fierce artillery and covered the headquarters.
If we can't control the militia in New Yumen, why can't we control you foreign barbarians? The Earth Marines thought. Just like that, their shaky confidence returned.
The members of the Earth Observation Group who came with the coalition fleet were basically members of Congress and heads of various ministries. Looking at this scene, they were all very excited and felt that their faces were shining so brightly that they could shed oil.
Serving as the leader of the multinational coalition can naturally satisfy the vanity of the Gongun princes of "all nations come to court". But since you are the leader of the alliance, you must be the most capable of fighting among the coalition forces, so that the background of "all nations come to court" will be better
So abundant!
"Lieutenant General, I will definitely tell the country about the efforts of you and the soldiers." A member of the delegation, a round man who looked like an oil drum, shook Lieutenant General Seyo's hand with enthusiasm, and at the same time
He also lowered his voice and said: "Chairman Nichta has always been concerned about the situation on the front line, but he was aware of it. When I saw you, I saw the style of the main fleet that had entered the Devil's Labyrinth Star Territory. I believe that the good news will be
It will come soon."
Mr. Pekel is the head of the frontline observation team, and his official position is the director of the Personnel Bureau of the National Defense Commission. However, his trip this time represents the will of the National Defense Commission and the National Assembly, and also represents the will of Chairman Nichta.
Will is equivalent to the supervisor of the expedition fleet.
For a person like him, being able to show off his power in front of millions of proud soldiers is much more interesting than being a humble grandson on earth.
No, not even Lieutenant General Seyo, one of the country's most famous generals, humbly expressed in front of him that this was actually all the credit of the soldiers, and he also wanted to thank Brigadier General Yu Lian for his generous teachings. He really didn't dare
Greedy for heaven's merit and so on.
"The lower official just did some basic daily work. It's his responsibility and he doesn't dare to neglect it."
"Brigadier General Yu Lian is also an old friend of mine. I know his capabilities better than you do, General." Director Pekel laughed and acted like a loyal elder, as if he was really related to Yu Lian.
Like a close elder: "Where is he now?"
Lieutenant General Seyo was still thinking about what to say when he saw one of the attachés brought by Mr. Pecker: "Brigadier General Yu Lian has now rushed to the New Lushun Galaxy. He is planning to build two orbital frontline hospitals there. It is said that
It is a large-scale space hospital that can accommodate 150,000 beds."
Lieutenant General Seyo, who was close to Chi Chi, could clearly see a fleeting gloom flashing in Director Pecker's eyes.
Director Pekel is Chairman Nichta’s confidant! Haven’t you heard that the Chairman appreciates Yu Lian very much? He was still thinking about this issue, but he heard Director Peker say: “I just heard that Lu
The reason why the team's combat effectiveness has grown so much is because the training targets are very good?"
The information is really well-informed! Lieutenant General Seyo thought to himself, but there was no way to hide this kind of thing, so he could only smile and nod.
"Such a strong army, but the militia and garrison systems are really not good. The international community will laugh at us for not recognizing talents. I have written a detailed report and submitted it to the National Defense Committee. I believe that the establishment of the 38th Division should be
It was approved within three months." Director Pekel said, and then he pretended to be ashamed and said: "Hey, it's in the New World. If it were in the mainland, it probably wouldn't take two weeks."
"You have done a lot for us." Lieutenant General Saiyo also expressed sincere gratitude. After all, he has guest-starred as a villain in a movie that is preparing to compete for the Yagomi Award. Of course, he has such acting skills at his fingertips.
"It's just that we have to decide on the candidate for the division commander immediately. I'm really looking forward to the heroic appearance of the 38th Division on the front line." He added.
