On September 13, 1911, the battle in Ukraine had entered its fourth day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe generals who came to visit had breakfast and rushed to the computing center. It was immediately discovered that the logo had changed dramatically. The fog of war, which still hung over the battlefield yesterday, suddenly dissipated a large part.

"What's going on? Did a spy get the deployment information of the Russian army? Ma Xiaoming was shocked.

Qi Rui has been living in the computing center for the past few days, and he has always been there. Hearing this question, Qi Rui replied in a cold tone: "The Russians use clear codes for radio communication. ”

......, all the generals looked at each other with puzzled expressions. Since the development of radio, the Liberation Army has developed clear codes and ciphers. That was decades ago. Decades later, the Russians are still using clear code on military radios.

Qi Rui was not surprised for a long time, war is a place that constantly refreshes the upper and lower limits of human beings, and it is not strange that nothing happens in war. He continued: "The Hungarian Air Force has carried out targeted reconnaissance of this intelligence. At least establish that there is a corresponding number of troops in the indicated positions. Now it is estimated that 600,000 Russian troops are within the striking range, and the specific results will come out immediately. ”

"If the war turns into a mathematical calculation in the end, then what are we soldiers?" A major general couldn't help but ask out loud. His voice was so loud that it was heard by all the servicemen around. Everyone just glanced at the major general, and not even at all. Everyone's eyes were finally focused on Qi Rui, the 'pioneer'.

Everyone's gaze and doubts did not make Qi Rui's heart feel the slightest wave, he had already learned from his father Wei Ze, and his heart was shocked. Motorized infantry, armored troops, computer-aided systems. The shock refreshed Qi Rui's upper limit, and Qi Rui began to be immune to this emotion.

"The system is just a support, and taking support is like using a gun. When we learn to shoot, do we have to make the guns conform to our imagination? It is to ask us to obey the law of guns. The theoretical basis for the effectiveness of guns is that gunpowder gas propels the projectile to fly. Whether it's the guns themselves, or we, the operators. It's all about operating around this basic theory. War also has its basic laws, and this kind of auxiliary system is a tool for studying the basic laws of war, and there is no reason for us to obey the machine at all. I think that comrades who think this way are because they have not been able to get in touch with the deep mathematical models, and those who study mathematical models are implementing these models through machines, so you will mistakenly think that you are obeying machines. Not really. ”

Everyone listened to Qi Rui's calm narration of the facts, and at first they felt that it made sense, but in the end, they suddenly realized that their ideas were indeed wrong. Some comrades couldn't help but smile bitterly, and some comrades simply broke the jar and said: "Mathematics is really not my forte, can you explain theory to me in a way that I can understand?" ”

"This is also the direction we are pursuing at the Theater Command. Sit down, and I ask the comrades in this area to tell us about it. After General Qi Rui finished speaking, he led a group of generals, lieutenant generals, and major generals to the conference room, and these generals were as obedient as primary school students.

In faraway Ukraine, the war continues to develop according to the laws of war. Second Lieutenant Manstein, a member of the military observer mission sent by Germany to Russia, had to take careful notes every day.

‘…… Knowing that the Hungarian Red Army had actually encircled the Russian army, the major general finally agreed to let us go to the front. He thought that the Russians were too weak and feared that we would be killed by the Hungarian Red Army at the front......

‘…… Because we were also in the encirclement, the French Military Observer Mission had been badly damaged in the last battle, and the lieutenant colonel who led the team ordered us to pay attention to safety......

‘…… When I finally saw the famous tank troops, I thought that they would carry out a dense assault like the cavalry, but what I saw on the battlefield was extremely scattered tanks. I always thought that it would be possible to break down a tank cluster with a large number of artillery shots, but now I realize that there is no possibility of destroying tank units in batches unless they are covered with barrage of shells......

‘…… The Hungarian tanks stormed the Russian positions and opened fire, and the lieutenant colonel led us to retreat immediately. When we ran out a few kilometers, we turned around and saw that the plains behind us were full of fleeing Russian troops. The Hungarian tanks pursued at a speed of twenty or thirty kilometers per hour, and the Russian army saw that there was nowhere to escape, so they simply surrendered on their knees in pieces......

‘…… Meeting with Second Lieutenant Guderian, who had gone to another battlefield to observe, he said that after the surrender of the Russians, the Hungarian Red Army was not able to contain so many prisoners. So the Russians were ordered to pile up their rifles on the ground, and the Hungarian Red Army ran over them with tanks and destroyed all the Russian rifles. And then the Russians were released. I asked Second Lieutenant Guderian how he saw this detail, and he told me that many of the Russian troops had been captured and then released. A soldier with his bare hands can still have some effect on ordinary infantry, but it is useless against tank troops at all. Russia has reorganized these defeated soldiers into the troops, and the Russian army, which was already short of weapons, is now even more lacking in weapons. Many of them had to fight with a wooden stick tied to a bayonet. After talking to these people, Ensign Guderian learned that there was such a thing. Now the morale of the Russian army is very bad......'

‘…… The Hungarians did not seem to care at all that their flanks would be attacked, news of Hungarian tanks came from all directions, and the Major General told us that the spirits of the Russian commanders were about to collapse. The news from all sides does not correspond to the common sense of war at all......

‘…… The rout was like waves of the sea, surging from the east, west, and north. To the south was the Black Sea, and the Hungarian Red Army did not have a navy, so no forces were thrown in that direction. The Russian army in Kyiv seems to be under extremely heavy pressure, and they also have no direction for what to choose in the future......

‘…… The Mission opted to withdraw. Some people think that 500,000 Russian troops can hold Kyiv, but the major general firmly does not believe it. If the 500,000 Russian troops could hold Kyiv, they would not have been driven to Kyiv......

‘…… The judgment of the major general was very accurate. A few days after we left Russia by boat on the Black Sea, Kyiv fell. The tank units of the Hungarian Red Army tore through the Russian defense line and entered Kyiv, and some of the Russian troops fled, and most of them surrendered. When we returned to Berlin, we read in the newspapers that the Hungarian Red Army had announced the end of the Ukrainian campaign. In this battle, the Hungarian Red Army completely annihilated three Russian army groups, with a total of 600,000 troops. The part of the Russian army that fled from Kyiv was caught up by the Hungarian Red Army units halfway and was completely annihilated......

‘…… The General Staff Headquarters established an Armored Corps Operations Section. We, the junior members of the Mission, were sent to the Berlin Military Academy to join the preparatory class. Second Lieutenant Guderian was unfortunate and was sent to Hungary again. Because the Hungarian government announced that in order to refute the rumors that Hungary was mistreating prisoners, it requested humanitarian organizations from various countries to visit the prisoner of war camp and participate in its operation. If humanitarian organizations are willing to send supplies, they welcome them. Germany immediately formed a humanitarian observation mission to the Russian prisoner of war camp in Hungary. We speculated that we had returned from Russia, and Second Lieutenant Guderian was sent back to gather intelligence......

……

In October, the exhausted Hungarian Red Army withdrew from Russia and entered Romania. Among the hundreds of thousands of Russian prisoners, soldiers below the rank of second lieutenant and wounded were released. A second lieutenant is an officer in the Russian army, which means that he has to have a bit of background. Ensign, and above, were taken away. Ordinary soldiers were screened, and the accent was St. Petersburg and the Moscow region, and they were all taken away. The Polish regions, especially the Poles, were taken away. Soldiers from the backwoods of Russia were also released in the presence of foreign humanitarian organizations and foreign official agencies.

It was supposed to be a happy celebration, but Zhou Shuren's face was full of anger, and the comrades were uncomfortable. Because the Military Commission sent a list, the people on this list are all soldiers, and they are all soldiers with military merits.

"We are all civilized people. One of the standards of civilized people is that they will not abuse and kill prisoners. To torture and kill captives by means of venting anger is the attitude of the weak, that is the attitude of a barbarian! It can be seen that Zhou Shuren is very angry.

"All countries have done it! Why should we punish our own people first? Some comrades replied angrily.

"All countries have done it, and all countries have punished it. We don't want to punish our own people, we want to oppose it. Times are different, and barbarism is no longer a trend. Why don't all countries like the Russians, because Russia still regards cruelty as their virtue and barbarism as their glory. In European countries, many people still publicize the fact that people other than the Marza people have died in Hungary for nearly a hundred years. We are going to use this war now to promote that Hungary is a civilized country, and that propaganda is unfair to Hungary now. It is a slander against the current Hungary! ”

“…… That can't be by punishing our own people and letting outsiders see the jokes. Some comrades muttered their statements.

Zhou Shuren was not upset by this statement, he nodded emphatically, "Of course I won't do that." But we have to remove and demote these comrades internally. And ideological education is carried out within the army. As for the outside world, of course, we have to declare that all that propaganda is a vicious attack on Hungary by people with ulterior motives! ”

Comrade Foreign Minister picked up a notebook to record this work, and he had no opinion on Zhou Shuren's decision. Comrade Foreign Minister did not mean to completely oppose the muttering of the comrades. In general, one yard is one yard, and the reason for punishing one's own people must not be to give an explanation to outsiders.

At this time, the foreign minister was more concerned about another matter, will Russia admit defeat and choose peace? After all, this defeat was so great that the Russian tsar could not hold it on his face anyway.

October 24, 1911. The Russian foreign minister rejected Hungary's request for peace talks.

Also on the same day, General Qi Rui, political commissar of the North American Theater of the Republic of China, was promoted to general. Among the younger generation, he was the first military man to receive the rank of general.
