In the conference room, after Deputy Commander Tian finished speaking, everyone's eyes looked at Su Qiyue, who was standing straight.

Apparently, everyone knows very well how the young brigade commander responded.

"What Minister Li just said does not contradict the point I want to state."

Su Qiyue said calmly, "Without considering the difference in the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the side with superior strength can certainly take the initiative." ”

Hearing this, Li Degui's face inadvertently revealed a hint of self-conceit.

He is the head of the training department of the military region, responsible for directing the training of all units of the military region, as well as the intensive training of new recruits.

As a second-level department under the General Staff, the Training Department, like the Operations Department, is also a division-level structure.

But in terms of weight, there is undoubtedly a big gap.

Du Minsheng, the head of the War Department, is a high-ranking deputy military officer.

Even Vice Minister Lei Keming is at the level of a high-ranking teacher, which is equivalent to Li Degui's level.

Of course, the importance of the training department is not low.

Coupled with his understanding of the training situation of various troops, Li Degui was naturally qualified to question Su Qiyue's remarks.

Now that Su Qiyue himself has stated that his statement is reasonable, Li Degui can't help but feel a little angry.

After all, the W Brigade where Su Qiyue is located is basically under the direct management of the War Department.

Because Su Qiyue himself was very proficient in training work, after he became the chief of staff of the W Brigade, the training plans in the brigade were all drawn up by himself.

After the formulation, just go to the training department for the record, and there will be no follow-up.

Due to the existence of the War Department, the Training Department and Li Degui's side really don't have much opportunity to question each other in normal times.

This time there is finally an opportunity to ring the alarm bell for the other party, and Li Degui did not deliberately embarrass Su Qiyue.

In fact, he also hoped that in the future, the W Brigade would listen to the opinions of the training department.

Just when Li Degui felt that Su Qiyue should listen to his opinion, the other party's next words directly made him speechless.

"In terms of individual combat capability, the main forces of our three military regions are actually about the same, and there will not be much difference."

"However, the proximity of individual combat capability does not mean that the combat effectiveness of the basic combat units of each unit is close."

Su Qiyue looked at Li Degui with blazing eyes and said, "In fact, after going to the battlefield, any difference in the combat environment and operational thinking will bring a huge difference to the comparison of the combat effectiveness of the basic combat units of the two sides. ”

Hearing this, Li Degui's brows suddenly tightened, and he had already roughly guessed what Su Qiyue meant.

It's just that I'm not sure for the time being.

"Let's give you an example."

Su Qiyue said calmly, "As we all know, the N Military Region has the first Marine Corps of our army. If the battlefield of the exercise is located in a coastal city or a coastal area, their basic combat effectiveness will undoubtedly be greatly improved, and it is even possible to double it. ”

"In the same way, if the battlefield is in a mountainous area, a plateau. The advantage of our soldiers in the C military region is very great. ”

Su Qiyue finally gave his own conclusion: "Therefore, even if the combat effectiveness of the basic combat units on paper is similar, it does not mean that one side cannot win more with less." ”

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and anything can happen. Especially in the situation of information-based and digitized warfare, hard power on paper can only be used as a pre-war reference and has no guiding significance......"

After a pause, Su Qiyue's gaze turned to Li Degui.

"There is another point I would like to remind Minister Li. Even if you really go to the battlefield and encounter a large-scale battle, the side with weak troops can completely mobilize firepower from different areas to replace the troops after withstanding the opponent's attack. ”

"Striking an area at the same time with more firepower is also a way to concentrate forces......"

After Su Qiyue's targeted answer, Li Degui's face suddenly turned red.

Obviously, he didn't expect the other party to be able to say such a big thing to refute him.

The point is, what this kid said really doesn't sound like it's just talk on paper, and it has practical reference value.

I have heard before that this Su Qiyue is extremely capable, and it is almost certain that it will be the future general of our army.

Originally, Li Degui was noncommittal about the private judgment of his colleagues, and felt that it was exaggerated.

But after really understanding it today, he is really convinced.

Sitting beside Su Qiyue, Fan Tianlei naturally saw Li Degui's embarrassment.

Like the W Brigade, the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade is also a unit directly managed by the War Department, and Fan Tianlei has always ignored Minister Li.

At the beginning, the training department needed the cooperation of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade to help try out the new training plan.

Minister Li personally approached Fan Tianlei and asked for cooperation.

But in the end, this Brigade Commander Fan directly refused.

Fan Tianlei certainly has his reasons.

In his opinion, all the training of his wolf's tooth special operations brigade is oriented to actual combat.

After so many years of accumulation of actual combat experience, the training plan of the special operations brigade has long been finalized, and there is no time to cooperate with your training department in carrying out any training reform.

If Minister Li wants to improve his training, he should ask another master.

Fan Tianlei was so faceless, Li Degui naturally held back a lot of energy in his heart.

Later, at several meetings of the General Staff of the Military Region, he questioned and criticized the training of the Langya Special Operations Brigade.

For this reason, Fan Tianlei and Li Degui had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Seeing Li Degui deflated here today, Fan Tianlei secretly had a bad feeling.

When he was secretly complacent, Deputy Commander Tian squinted his eyes and spoke.

"Comrade Degui, do you still disagree with Su Qiyue's explanation?"

was named by the chief, and Li Degui could only stand up.

"Report chief, no."

Tian Songren sighed, stretched out his hand and motioned for Li Degui to sit down.

Turning his head to look at Su Qiyue, he changed to a gentle smile.

"Comrade July, after listening to what you just said, it seems that you don't feel very worried about the opponent of this exercise?"

Without waiting for Su Qiyue to answer, Tian Songren then asked: "Let me ask you, if you are asked to be the commander-in-chief of this blue side, how will you deploy?" ”

"Uh~"

Su Qiyue was stunned, and he didn't take the chief's words too seriously.

After all, the chief is now just making a hypothesis and wants to give some advice himself.

After a moment of silence, he spoke his thoughts.

"No matter what kind of exercise requirements are finally given by the headquarters operations department, the disadvantage of overall strength and firepower is already unavoidable."

"Even if the final exercise is placed in a plateau area that is relatively favorable to our C Military Region, this disadvantage will objectively exist."

Su Qiyue paused, and then said: "If you want to make up for these disadvantages little by little, you must first make a fuss about soft power......

Hearing this, Tian Songren nodded thoughtfully.

Wang Zhongqi, deputy chief of staff, who was sitting on his left hand, asked a question at this time.

"Comrade July, what do you mean by soft power?"

When Tian Songren heard this, he also echoed and said: "What Deputy Chief of Staff Wang said is right, you should be specific in July. ”

Faced with the questions of the two leaders, Su Qiyue quickly explained.

"Soft power in the military, generally speaking, is mental power, mobilization power, psychological factors, and other things."

Su Qiyue 1510 said: "In terms of spiritual power, everyone should be about the same. In terms of mobilization, there is not much difference. ”

"Then what is left is psychological warfare."

"Psychological warfare?" Wang Zhongqi frowned and confirmed.

Obviously, Deputy Chief of Staff Wang did not feel that psychological warfare could play much of a role in such exercises.

Su Qiyue nodded affirmatively: "Yes, chief." ”

"Psychological warfare, in fact, is not necessarily about breaking through the defense line in the enemy's heart and causing the opponent to collapse. As a matter of fact, in the face of such a strong enemy as the four Category A units of the two major military regions, it is basically impossible to suppress the other side psychologically. But ~ we still have a lot to ...... to use."

"For example, after going to the battlefield, who will be the main force of the four troops of the two military regions, and who will assist the attack? If we deliberately find theoretical stubble to attack when attacking, what kind of impact will it have on the other three forces? ”

Listening to Su Qiyue's words, Wang Zhongqi slowly came back to his senses.

Indeed, as this young man said, these main forces of our army have extremely strong confidence in themselves.

Even if it is on the same front, everyone must be dissatisfied with anyone.

If you really deliberately miss an easy unit to attack the stronger one, the troops will definitely have psychological fluctuations because of this.

After being influenced, those troops that are more powerful on paper will definitely care more about their own performance in the next battles.

As long as they have such an idea, then the "heart" is half successful.

Of course, the specifics are complicated.

You have to really go to the battlefield before you can make a plan.

But this Su Qiyue was able to foresee this when everyone didn't expect it, and there is no doubt about the agility of his thinking.

Just when Wang Zhongqi secretly sighed, Su Qiyue said another thing.

"There are many aspects of soft power, such as after the exercise venue is determined, will there be masses? People and problems will also be factors that we can exploit......"

Hearing this, many of the cadres attending the meeting nodded secretly.

"yes, it does make sense!"

Fan Tianlei couldn't help but ponder, "If the people can be mobilized, the effect will be absolutely immeasurable." ”

In his early years, when he was the leader of the Wolf's Tooth Squadron, he was seriously injured in the line of duty again.

At that time, it was a villager who saved his life, and then successfully assisted his comrades to complete the task.

Therefore, he is very much identified with the strength of the people's energy.

While everyone was secretly pondering, Su Qiyue finally said something.

"In fact, before we discuss whether we can 'defeat the strong with the weak', we must first define the concepts of weak, strong and victorious."

"Most of the time we say, 'Weak over strong' means 'The weaker-looking side beats the stronger-looking side.'" - The essence of this matter is that we do not distinguish between the strong and the weak, and we do not really win on the weaker side.

"If only the number of soldiers is considered, and the strategy of the generals is not considered, then the judgment of strength and weakness will be distorted; If only the number of ships and technical equipment is taken into account, and training and optical equipment are not considered, then the judgment of strength and weakness will be wrong. Therefore, my personal opinion is that the strength of the two sides on the battlefield is never absolute. ”

"Even the side that seems to be at a disadvantage in every way will have a chance to win."

Su Qiyue's eyes were blazing and he explained: "Modern warfare, especially contemporary warfare, is easier for the weak to defeat the strong. The reason is simple - because we lack a standard for judging the strength or weakness of contemporary forces. ”

"No one knows which technology is the stepping stone to the next era, and no one knows which new tactical concept will bring innovation, and the judgment of strength and weakness is more inaccurate, so our subconscious 'defeating the strong with the weak' is more likely to appear."

"This kind of thing actually exists in large quantities. As far as the old American military asserted that it was impossible for the British to retake the Falklands, Woodward withstood the casualties and forced a landing; ”

"Believing that his strong ground forces could drive out the UN forces, he didn't hold out for two months before he was driven into Baghdad by heavy tank troops."

Su Qiyue finally concluded: "My personal opinion is: the weak can defeat the strong. The reason is that after the curtain of digital and information-based warfare is opened, it is difficult for us to predict what factors will truly determine the victory of a war. ”

"These uncertainties are also an important reason why modern warfare is difficult to fight."

After finishing speaking, Su Qiyue turned his gaze to several bigwigs in the first row.

Seeing the encouragement in Xiang Qiangjun's eyes when he looked at him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly.

Speaking of which, it is a bit transgressive for me to say so much on an occasion like today.

After all, he is still just a colonel, acting brigade commander.

This kind of analysis of modern warfare is not qualified to give judgments by itself.

But Su Qiyue didn't want to wait any longer.

Because he knows very well what kind of changes will take place in the global military situation and science and technology in the next 10 or 20 years.

If you don't catch up at this point in time, you may have to work ten times harder to catch up with the world's top level in the future.

As for his words, will the leaders listen to them, will they feel that they are too aggressive, and Su Qiyue can't care so much.

After Su Qiyue's statement, there was silence in the conference room.

After a while, Wang Zhongqi, who had a solemn face, came back to his senses.

At the beginning, he was actually a little skeptical of Su Qiyue's statement.

However, as the young man spoke more and more, he gradually realized the value of the other party's words.

As rumored to be, this young man's thinking on modern combat is different from that of the vast majority of cadres at the division and brigade level.

I can't say that this kid is necessarily right, but what he says is valid.

The "defeat of the strong with the weak" is inherently relative.

It's like our army used millet and rifles back then, didn't it also achieve brilliant results?

At this moment, recalling the suggestion he had just given to Qiangjun, Wang Zhongqi suddenly felt that it was very feasible.

He looked at Su Qiyue with great interest, and said in his heart: It may be a good idea to let this kid be the commander-in-chief of this exercise.
