There is a Chinese saying that "if you are not afraid of slowness, you are afraid of standing", and Wei Ze's troops marched 4o miles a day, which was nothing to ordinary cavalry troops. But Wei Ze commanded the large army to march all the way for seven days, and then went out for 3oo miles, and the forward troops arrived in Jining. Even if the cavalry of the Qing army pursued with all their strength at this time, and the horses ran to the point of exhaustion, the cavalry troops had to run for two days. If it was a normal march, it would take four days for the cavalry to reach Jining. In the past four days, Weese's troops have been able to go out for another 16o miles. If the Qing army had been in pursuit, the cavalry would probably have been able to catch up with Wei Ze's forces as they tried to cross the Yellow River near Xuzhou.

Math is a good thing, and after a simple calculation, all kinds of possibilities emerge. Regardless of what kind of ability Monk Greenqin had to use troops, the General Staff Officer's judgment on the Monk Greenqin cavalry was that if Monk Greenqin's troops did not arrive in Jining when Wei Ze's troops arrived in Xuzhou, then they would not care at all about being attacked by the Monk Greenqin cavalry behind them.

This calculation is important for a retreating force, which does not care what it will encounter. There are many routes of attack, but there are often only a few options for retreat. That being the case, retreats are always met with all sorts of bad things. And there is always a limit to what the troops can do, and if they can eliminate some of the possible things from the many bad things, then the troops will be much easier.

"Brothers, in ancient times, you are all famous generals!" Weeser said to the personnel of the General Staff. For Weeser, the General Staff is a normal system of expertise, division of labor, and cooperation, and in the 21st century, not only the military operates, but all kinds of enterprises operate in this way.

"Huh." Ruan Xihao, the chief of staff of operations, laughed dryly, even if he knew that Wei Ze was sincerely appreciative, even if he knew that he had really made great progress, Ruan Xihao did not have any ecstasy when facing Wei Ze's encouragement. He frowned and said, "Chief of the General Staff, it is unlikely that we will be able to fully grasp the actions of Seng Lingqin. Even if we have a long cordon in the north, if they don't go to Xuzhou, but go directly south to Henan. Then it is possible to arrive in Xuzhou before us. ”

The more you know, the less you know. If it is irresponsible and unbridled imagination, it is really "anything is possible". Weser was well aware of the impact of the battlefield fog on the war, so he especially understood how difficult it was to completely dispel the battlefield fog. Even the military superiority of the Yankees in the 21st century, with satellites, reconnaissance planes, and unmanned aerial vehicles, is still in a state of flux in Afghanistan, and the army has to honestly pay "tolls" to transport logistics materials. Not to mention Weizer's intelligence system, which doesn't even have a telegraph.

"Then what is Chief of Staff Nguyen going to do?" Weser laughed. This kind of desire to be blamed by Wei Ze has also had it, young people will be temporarily confused by the power brought by the system, and it is inevitable that people who were originally fighting alone suddenly join a relatively sound system, and produce an illusory feeling that they suddenly have great power. Because he saw something familiar in Ruan Xihao, Wei Ze couldn't help but want to tease Ruan Xihao.

Ruan Xihao couldn't understand Wei Ze's mind at all, he frowned and thought for a while before saying, "Either we design a new line of communication and send more brothers back to keep an eye on Monk Lingqin......

Hearing this, Wei Ze smiled secretly in his heart. For his part, if he wanted to solve these problems, he would consider wireless telegraphy, or at least cable telegraphy. This is how Weeser is different from this era. Nguyen Hee Ho is limited to his own knowledge and can only use the technology and equipment he knows to complete the task at hand. But Weeser can "jump out of the constraints of the times" and come up with more effective methods.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze suddenly had a feeling of "epiphany". In China, conservative ratings are quite low. However, combined with Wei Ze's and Ruan Xi Hao's different responses to the same thing, Wei Ze feels that some conservatives may not really refuse to progress, and they either actively or passively choose to solve the problem with the "already existing method". It's completely impossible to expect them to come up with new technologies.

Thinking about it this way, Weeser himself can understand why the German General Staff became synonymous with "conservative and solidified" during World War I. In the time of Moltke the Elder, the German General Staff assembled the world's most advanced theories of military construction and the organization of a scientific attitude. By the time of the First World War, the German General Staff itself was no longer able to innovate its own system......

Thinking of this, Wei Ze suddenly had a terrifying feeling. In the past, Wesser, like ordinary young people, always liked to see the results, and often choked for some tragic ending. But from a real historical point of view, some tragedies cannot be prevented at all. For example, no matter how well the General Staff does its job, there is no need to expect such an organization as the General Staff to become the source of the socialist revolution and even the first revolution. ** The system of guerrilla warfare and people's warfare is even more unlikely to be able to emerge from an organization like the General Staff.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze suddenly couldn't help laughing. If it was the original Wei Ze, he would definitely think that as long as the General Staff was being built, the contents of socialism, and the people's war would be forcibly instilled into the General Staff. But now Wei Ze knows very well that he single-handedly founded this General Staff, and the main contradiction at the moment is not at all how to make the General Staff not oppose "socialism, people's war", and the main contradiction at the moment is that the General Staff has not even been able to establish the most basic scientific understanding.

The German ** team during World War II, from generals to soldiers, was also a junior high school student at worst. Such an army was so powerful that the whole of Europe could not fight back. And the junior high school students of the Germans during World War II had no pressure to be captains in the technical department in Weeser's current troops. History has proved one thing countless times, if you want to cross the times, jump over the first nine steps, and jump directly to the tenth step, then there is no immortal who is very miserable.

"Chief of the General Staff, what did I say wrong?" Ruan Xihao's rather unexpected voice woke Wei Ze from his personal thinking world.

Although it is a pity, Wei Ze cannot but give up the idea of further testing Ruan Xihao, after all, it is a time of war, too many tests bring too many risks, and there are many opportunities to rectify this group of guys in the General Staff in the future, and they are not in a hurry. So Wei Ze simply gave the order, "Oh......, it's nothing. There's not much we have the energy to do right now. We just need to make sure that, with the current reconnaissance capabilities, the cavalry of Seng Lingqin will not be able to surprise us. And after entering Weishan Lake, he vigorously searched for and solicited boats. According to the information we have gathered, the spring flood of the Yellow River is just about to arrive. If you want to build a pontoon bridge over the Yellow River, you can't do it if you don't have enough boats. ”

Listening to Wei Ze's order, Ruan Xihao nodded again and again, "The General Staff has already issued an order to the vanguard troops, once Jining is conquered, immediately go straight to Weishan Lake and rent local boats. Chief of the General Staff, I am reminded of the fact that more than a year ago we moved from Changsha to Yuezhou. From Yuezhou, the infantry were all on boat, and the shore was full of cavalry. It didn't take much time to get to Wuhan at all. If we want to save time this time, we'd better do the same. ”

"Haha!" Wei Ze smiled, "Chief of Staff Ruan, our army was able to seize ships in Yuezhou, first the Qing army thought that they could block the ships in the rivers of Yuezhou, and we took Yuezhou in a blink of an eye, and we took the ships and sailors in one fell swoop." Secondly, the brothers of the Yuezhou Tiandihui had already gone to Changsha to defect to the East King, and the East King knew everything about Yuezhou Sheng. When we fought Changsha, Dongwang had already determined what to do in the future. Otherwise, why did we fail to use the acupuncture point on Changsha for the last time, and the troops began to retreat that night. Chief of Staff Ruan, it's right to learn from experience, but the premise of learning experience is to first understand what happened. Doing so is not about learning from experience, it's about carving a boat for a sword! ”

Ruan Xihao listened carefully to Wei Ze's words, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Chief of General Staff, what does it mean to ask for a sword at this moment? ”

"Oh, that's ......" Wei Ze didn't expect that Ruan Xihao was asking this, and he felt that he might need to expand the scope of basic cultural training. Idioms are good things to be concise and to the point, and the only problem is to figure out the story behind it. In this case, is it better to get a few literary and art classes within the army, and use the mode of interpreting sketches or drama performances to popularize idiom stories to the troops?

However, before confirming this, Wei Ze first told Ruan Xihao the story about carving a boat and seeking a sword. After listening to this story, Ruan Xihao couldn't help but blush. Before he understood the story, he didn't feel anything. Only when he really understands it can he appreciate how bitter the irony of this story can be.
