Section 239 The Secret Armament Society of the Capital

Although there has been a whirlwind of sulfonamide toxicity in Europe for a while, it is a pity that the efficacy and price of sulfonamides are so advantageous that at the joint press conference of Bayer and Standard Medicine, the manufacturer publicly admitted that long-term and excessive use of sulfonamides may cause adverse reactions such as stones, and reminded everyone not to produce drug dependence, and to be vigilant against the abuse of sulfonamide drugs to produce drug resistance, and even pioneered the method of printing drug contraindications and side effects on the pill box. ∷, but surprisingly, not many doctors in Europe are willing to accept this method, think of it, a universal anti-inflammatory, which makes doctors seem to have mastered the verdict to cut off the disease, no wonder no. When the British and French pharmaceutical companies found that no matter how they slandered sulfonamides, they could only advertise Bayer, so they turned to talk to Bayer about authorization, and soon sulfonamides became the main varieties of antibiotic drugs like macrolides, of course, Bayer's heroin has also become the first variety of pharmaceutical companies in various countries to rush to buy, this obvious invigorating drug is not addictive but can also be quickly effective, so that all parties are also very interested, and it has become a category of armament drugs.

The 43 percent of the profits from the sulfonamide license and the Pan American Chamber of Commerce's turmoil in the stock market and the U.S. telecommunications industry made Wu Chenxuan's wallet swell unprecedentedly, while the vast markets brought about by the stability of Shandong, northern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as the rapid development of industry and commerce, even brought forward the expansion plan of the new army.

Fortunately, the Japanese intelligence agencies now focus their attention on the Kanto Prefecture area, and the intelligence agencies in the north have Kawashima as an internal response, and many briefings on the situation in Shandong have been processed by him and then sent back to China in due course. Britain, the United States, France, and Germany were more interested in commerce in Shandong, and perhaps there were some industrial and commercial spies, but they were not interested in a 100,000-strong army that they considered to be "indigenous armies." Therefore, the temporary military vacuum in Shandong did not cause any fluctuations.

In fact, they are rushing to Beijing from Jinan to Beijing in three airships, and they can only get to the place after a night of flight, and they landed in the Miyun Mountains in northern Beijing in the early hours of the morning, a team of internal guards and carriages are waiting, and the airships are quietly deflated and stored in the barn that has been prepared long ago, and the last time the airship entered Beijing was when Gengzi was transporting gold and silver, thanks to the farm that was bought at that time, it has not changed hands. On the contrary, because it is relatively close to the capital and hidden, it has become a secret stronghold of the Coordination Office.

There is a saying that "what you get on paper is shallow, but you never know that you need to do it", which means that the knowledge in books is only theory, and if you really understand the truth in it, you have to put theory into practice. This sentence is very suitable for the generals of the Wuyi New Army, most of the officers of the Wuyi New Army have been trained by the Zaolin Military Academy, and most of the generals are from professional classes, although they lack the experience of studying in prestigious schools. However, compared with the European and American powers, the new armed forces of Wuyi, which does not have much actual combat experience and historical background, will always suffer some losses. Before Wu Chenxuan went abroad, he had already discovered the problem of rigid tactical thinking and single means in the Wuyi New Army, and the return of Japanese military cadets further aggravated this trend. Since we have taken the line of elite troops, the new armed forces must not only be stronger than their opponents in terms of equipment and individual quality, but must also have obvious advantages in command quality and coordination among various arms.

For example, once the artillery fire is prepared, and the attack on the enemy's position is launched, it is necessary to carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and courageously, and break into the enemy's position in one fell swoop and resolutely destroy the enemy. And what if the offense is unfavorable? What if it is found that the enemy's firepower is beyond imagination or if the cadres misjudge the enemy's firepower intensity? What if it turns out to be an enemy trap? Or go forward and fill people in? So I quickly figured out the crux of this. For individual tactics, it is advisable to advocate more courage or the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice, especially when dealing with an opponent with little firepower, and momentum is often the key to determining victory or defeat. Of course, if you can complete the task without sacrificing and can achieve your goal with good military qualities, then why pay for your own life!

It's okay for soldiers to talk about bravery, but it's a bit inappropriate for squad platoons, regimental companies, and even town-level commanders to emphasize that they are not afraid of sacrifice and move forward bravely. To the regimental level and above is to command in the second and third lines, so whose life is not afraid of sacrifice? Another explanation for this kind of fear of sacrifice is that they are not responsible for the lives of soldiers, and cadres at this level should try to avoid sacrifice, make rational judgments on the battlefield situation, and seek a way to exchange the greatest benefits at the lowest cost!

However, it should be said that many officers in the current Wuyi New Army are still in the stage of taking the lead in the charge, and in their heads there is only the old Japanese-style pig assault tactics, blindly emphasizing bravery, and simply believing that there will be casualties on the battlefield, as long as they rush and fight fiercely, they can achieve victory, as long as they can achieve victory, then those sacrifices are worth it, and at the same time, this sacrifice will be recognized by the superiors.

For these high-ranking generals, the battle is actually very simple, it is a gamble. If you lose, you will be demoted or punished, and sometimes you won't even be punished, because you can push the responsibility down, and if you win, you can be promoted and make a fortune. So with such a total, the package will not lose money. What is the stake? The stake should be the risk of demotion, and as for the soldier under him, it is not even a bet, it can only be said to be one weight after another.

So what else do generals worry about on the battlefield? Isn't it just to draw a map in the office and make a plan, and then carry forward the spirit of moving forward bravely and not being afraid of sacrifice, and shout at the front-line troops: "Give me such and such land at all costs!" "If a company can't take it, send a battalion, and if a battalion can't take it, send a regiment, anyway, no matter how many troops, what you want is the final result, even if you take a high ground that has little value, these soldiers will sacrifice meaningfully, it is a kind of victory. If you can't take it in the end, then the generals will admit it, and if you can push the responsibility, you can rely on it, even if you take on some, it's not a big deal.

"Total seat! I couldn't agree more with what you said. After listening to Wu Chenxuan's opening remarks, everyone fell into deep thought, and Du Zicheng continued: "There are no big problems in individual tactics and squad and platoon tactics, and the experience summarized by Zaolin Military Academy has many merits, except for some small places that need to be improved. ”

"What small places? Please ask General Du to make it clear: "Wu Luzhen's tone is a little unkind, and the relationship between the two sides is also a matter that everyone knows."

"I'll talk about the core of the battle first!" Du Zicheng said: "My view is that the characteristic of our army's tactics is that the infantry is the mainstay, and the artillery, cavalry, baggage troops, and flying teams are all for the infantry. ”

"What's wrong with that?" Wu Luzhen interrupted Lao Du's words again: "Which land war is not dominated by infantry, otherwise what kind of battle will be fought?" Even General Staff Duan couldn't understand this, and he also looked at Du Zicheng with a puzzled face. Du Zicheng secretly sighed and said Luckily, thanks to the fact that he used Miss Du's radio station to communicate with Boss Wu in Jinan in advance, otherwise he would not have the same point of view as them.

"It's right to be infantry-based!" Du Zicheng continued: "But has General Wu ever thought about it...... Almost all the battles we fought in the past were fought in close proximity, such as Gengzinian's dispatch of troops to the capital, Taizhou's pacification of the rebellion, and participation in the Russo-Japanese War in the Northeast. In these wars, our army rarely used other arms of the army, which made our army's tactics completely based on the dominance of the infantry, and basically had no status in other arms. In the past, it was because our army lacked artillery and had no aircraft, but now that there are artillery and aircraft, how can it still be completely infantry-based as before, and other branches of the army are just foils and only provide fire cover? ”

Looking at the generals who were a little moved, Du Zicheng continued: "So we should take the functions of the infantry back and the functions of the artillery and the flying team to the front. ”

"The status of our artillery is very high!" Lan Tianwei interjected: "The artillery team is the treasure of the troops, who would think that artillery is not important?" ”

Du Zicheng couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that the brothers didn't understand what he meant at all.

"Let's put it this way!" Du Zicheng said: "I think the infantry should become such a role: first, scouts, will find the enemy's fire points and important military facilities, and will report the coordinates to facilitate the artillery firing. Second, the commander, will direct the artillery to open fire, and direct the aircraft to provide cover and fire for the infantry at the right time and route. Finally, the infantry will wipe out the remaining remnants of the enemy. Generally speaking, it means that all arms of the armed forces are organically combined through coordination, and the infantry, artillery, and flying are twisted into a rope and clenched into a fist to form a fighting force, so that the infantry is not a person or a branch of the army fighting, but a coordinated operation of all arms. Under the guidance of this kind of tactical thinking, we should no longer send a large number of infantry to charge after the artillery fire has been prepared as in the past, and we should not fight separately with foot, artillery, and flying, but should have a high degree of coordination, a high degree of sharing of battlefield information, and every infantry member is like a scout and can act as the eyes of artillery and tank troops, so that the role of artillery and aircraft can be brought into full play, so that they can be integrated into the whole offensive and become a part of the entire mixed unit! ”

Du Zicheng said a lot of "horn, horn, horn", only to hear everyone stunned and lost their voices.

After a while, General Staff Officer Duan nodded and said: "I understand the meaning of the general seat, infantry, artillery, and flying should be taken as a whole, just like a giant, infantry is eyes and daggers, artillery is spears, and airplanes are bows and arrows. Bow and arrow shoot from afar, spear from near, and finally cut off the head with a dagger. ”

"Yes!" General Staff Duan said the essence of Du Zicheng's words in a simple sentence, which made Wu Chenxuan also have to admire Duan Zhiquan's analytical ability.

"Ahem", Boss Wu cleared his throat, so that everyone's eyes focused on Wu Chenxuan. He continued the words of General Staff Officer Duan: "The command is the brain, and the communication equipment is the nerves, if the command can be trained to use various units as freely as an arm, then this giant can wield a bow and arrow and spear to attack the enemy on the battlefield, and at the same time can use his eyes to detect threats and protect himself!" Therefore, in the future, not only should our armed forces continue to strengthen their firepower, but more importantly, they should renovate their own command system and military command system before all armed forces in advance to meet the needs of such coordinated operations of various arms of the armed forces. In the future, the army must improve its own quality, and it is no longer necessary to be a good soldier if it is strong and not afraid of death, but it must have a variety of skills and the idea of coordination in order to play the role of a soldier in the army, and grass-roots officers must develop in the direction of one specialty and multiple abilities, and those who cannot keep up with the situation must be eliminated, and of course they must arrange a good way to retreat. As for those of us who are generals, we must not fall behind the reforms. The purpose of this meeting I have convened a secret meeting in the capital is to arrange for the core armed forces of the new armed forces of the armed wing in the coming stage to carry out the reform of group coordinated operations and the stepwise expansion of the reserve forces. ”

It was not until this period that the General Staff and the generals completely understood the meaning of Boss Wu's convening of a meeting this time, Lan Tianwei and their latecomers' eyes immediately lit up, their faces were surprised and happy, but Wu Luzhen was full of embarrassment, from the expression on his face Wu Chenxuan could be seen, regardless of whether Wu Luzhen thought that what the boss said would not work, but his own views were contrary to Boss Wu after all, which made him worry about his status in the army.

Wu Chenxuan sighed secretly, it seems that he has been an official for a long time, and these originally energetic young generals have also become worried, this may be the throes of a political party, an army, and a country maturing.
