Chapter 979: Logistics

However, the ancestral system guarded the inside and outside, coupled with steady, or rather treacherous ministers such as Su Youwen Yanbo, etc., resolutely disagreed with the disclosure of secrets, and then Su You had already begun to operate the big plan to lead the Xixia people to rebuild the Iron Harrier, so although Zhao Ji was 10,000 unwilling, he could only pinch his nose and cooperate.

Su You smiled: "No, you have to hide it." However, the minister suggested that Uncle Gao Guo be transferred from the area with a large number of Tibetan people, in Weizhou, not Weizhou is too close to the front line, and in Xijing, let Uncle Gao Guo organize and train a new army in Xijing. ”

"Yes, it is Luoyang, Luoyang can rely on Zhengzhou, Shangzhou, and Shuzhong, and there is enough industrial strength to support."

"And this team should be an all-cavalry unit, all using improved horse breeds. Heavy equipment also had to rely on pack mules and vans. ”

"Its mission is strategic, take the big road, the famous city, and destroy the strong army!"

"We now have enough strength to build an ace army like the Western Xia Iron Harrier and the Liao State Leather Room Army!"

Gao Zunyu is actually problematic, and the failure of the five roads in history has a lot to do with his personal military quality and temperament.

But then again, except for his way, there are problems all the other way, and the bigger problem is in the first three rows, in Bianjing.

In Su You's heart, the military operation of the Great Song Dynasty that really happened in history with the power of the whole country did not look like a war for the purpose of destroying the Western Xia, but more like a military parade and a head-off operation.

It feels like the enemy in the first three rows felt that the redundant army of the Great Song Dynasty was overburdened, so they deliberately sent a wave of heads over to let the Western Xia harvest and reduce the burden for the Great Song Dynasty.

For example, Liu Changzuo, who was suppressed by Gao Zunyu, actually slackened his work for a while in the later period, resulting in the failure of the operation to block the Western Xia reinforcements.

But in Su You's view, these are not the point, even if Xiazhou is defeated, what can it do?

The end of the crossbow.

After the grain and grass were banned, even if the Western Xia people gave up Xiazhou, even if the Song army took it, they could only retreat obediently.

Under the three-light policy of the Tangut people, the farther they go, the more land they occupy, and the more miserable they die.

And the Western Xia counterattack after the defeat, the battle of Yongle City commanded by Xu Xi, and the rescue operation of Shen Kuo were like child's play.

It can only be said that under the avalanche, not a single snowflake is innocent.

Gao Zunyu is definitely not the best choice, in Su You's mind, Wang Shao, a kind of recklessness, can throw him out of a few streets.

But like luck, good fate can also be regarded as an ability, and the person is the emperor's uncle, which is the chosen one.

So he was the only option.

The biggest difference between Su You and others is that he can face up to this embarrassment, and God let him travel to the Great Song Dynasty, which was not something that could easily take advantage of the situation all the way to success.

And the current situation is different, the Great Song Dynasty has entered a period of vigorous rise in national power, to put it mildly, even if it suffers a fiasco like that in history, it can recover quickly like the old United States that suffered the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor in later generations.

This is called having food in your hands and not panicking in your heart.

However, although Gao Zunyu can use it, Su You is not prepared to fight the kind of bastard battle in history.

I can only work my own.

Sure enough, Zhao Ji was very satisfied with Suyou's suggestion that the first new frontier army start with Gao Zunyu.

Su You also added a yard to Zhao Ji in a timely manner: "The minister still has a few suggestions." ”

"First, the minister recommends one more person, Cao Nan."

"Cao Anmin is a graduate of the first crash course for officers of the Royal Institute of Technology, with excellent academics, leading 500 new troops to fight in the South China Sea, destroying more than 10,000 enemies, and has very valuable military experience, especially the experience of leading the new army to fight."

"This unit, with Gao Zunyu as the principal and Cao Nan as the auxiliary, has drawn personnel from the Ning Marine Corps, which has actual combat experience, plus Wang Zhongzheng, and some new troops under the command of Li Xian as the backbone, and will be reorganized and trained intensively, and it will be able to become an army in half a year at most."

"In half a year, the first batch of horses and pack mules will be able to be put into service, and with the addition of vans, horse-drawn artillery wagons, and compressed dry rations, we will have a decisive force with strong firepower, strong mobility, and the ability to rely on logistics to independently complete military operations for two to three months!"

Cao Anmin is also a relative to Zhao Ji, and there is no problem in promoting and reusing, but for Su You, it can be regarded as a return for the care of the Queen Mother.

Zhao Ji nodded in agreement.

"The second suggestion is that the opportunity is fleeting, it is an extraordinary opportunity, and we have to do extraordinary things."

"Therefore, the minister suggested that the military aircraft department be set up to be directly responsible for the military to His Majesty!"

"It includes strategy, timing, logistics, training, and liaison classes."

"The strategy class is responsible for investigating the situation, military strength, and national strength of the surrounding countries of the Great Song Dynasty, and is responsible for formulating national strategies and ensuring national security."

"For example, for the Western Xia and the Liao State, what posture should be adopted at present, how to attack, how to defend, how to occupy key areas, how to deploy the army, the season of marching, the direction, what the strategic goals are, and so on."

"The opportunity is intelligence and use, the recovery of the city, the intelligence division of the Ning Navy, played a vital role, every move of the city from the king to the ministers and generals, all under the noses of Wang Jingluo and the ministers."

"Relying on a strong intelligence system, we can make the best choice, and finally achieve the effect of bloodlessness."

"Logistics is a military system that my Great Song Dynasty has neglected for a long time, of course, compared with Western Xia and Liao, my Great Song Dynasty's logistics system is almost the most complete, but it is still far from enough."

"The new army is a brand new army, and to ensure their combat effectiveness, logistics support is the top priority."

"The so-called logistics is a general term for planning and using manpower, money, materials, and labor, and ensuring the military's garrison and operational affairs in terms of materials, money, food, medical aid, transportation and transport, maintenance of combat equipment, and barracks."

"Broadly speaking, the minister called it strategic logistics, campaign logistics, and tactical logistics."

"Strategic logistics is like the trunk of a tree, it is immovable; For example, our industrial base, relying on the base to produce various arsenals, ordnance manufacturing, vehicle factories, clothing factories, tent factories, canning factories, compressed dry food workshops; horse farms all over the world; Warehouses of military supplies, barracks, and much more. ”

"Campaign logistics is a local branch system of logistics management in a theater to support a major war, under the unified command of the military envoy and his shogunate, backed by strategic logistics, to mobilize and use the overall strength of the theater, and to provide support for the corps to garrison and operate in terms of materials, funds, health, technology, transportation, and so on."

"Its basic tasks include unified planning and organization of the construction of a theater logistics base, and enhancement of support, defense, and command capabilities; Provide timely and effective logistical support for the daily operation and operations of the theater and the armed forces. ”

"Its responsibilities should also include the unified collection and distribution of funds and materials required by the theater and the various armies, the reserve and management of campaign materials, and the supervision of the use of materials and funds by all units while meeting the needs of the garrison."

"This system, in fact, also exists in the Great Song Dynasty, but now it belongs to the civil administration, and it is the responsibility of the transfer envoy.

"Therefore, for the theater of operations, non-wartime support, the transshipment department can be responsible for the day-to-day operation, control its funds and materials from the source, and supervise the army. Before the war, the strategic envoy must have sufficient logistical resources at his disposal before he can talk about the progress of the campaign. ”

"Before logistics is guaranteed, resolutely put an end to blind military operations, which is a waste of the military resources of the Great Song Dynasty."

"For example, for Xixia, we should move now, work out a schedule for the construction of the logistics system, and speed up the construction of support."
