Chapter 280: Standing on the Shoulders of Giants

At this moment, the field of vision has also broadened, and the surrounding scenery is good, Comrade Li Er can look wherever he wants, and it completely depends on his mood.

After taking the telescope around for a week, as soon as he saw someone's shadow in front of the telescope, he immediately waved his hand and told whoever to get out of the way, and in the end, everyone knew that as long as Comrade Li Er turned around, everyone had to immediately walk behind Comrade Li Er and stand, so as not to constantly appear in Comrade Li Er's lens and annoy Comrade Li Er, and it would not be worth it for Comrade Li Er to scold.

Comrade Li Er looked at it for a long time before putting down the binoculars, and kept praising it: "Not bad, not bad." You can see everything from so far away, and it's really useful to say that this thing is really useful. ”

Comrade Li Er walked up to Li Jing as he spoke, handed the telescope to Li Jing and said to Li Jing: "Li Aiqing and a few Aiqing should also try it, it is indeed easy to use, and it will play a big role on the battlefield in the future." ”

Comrade Li Er's words were sincere, his original intention was to let Li Jing and them try it too, so that they would all know that this thing was very useful, but he didn't know that before him, these old killers had already been used.

Seeing Comrade Li Er say this, Li Jingcai said with some embarrassment: "Thank you for the emperor's care, the ministers have already tried it when this thing was just made today, and they just felt that it was very practical, so they came to ask the emperor to agree to make it as soon as possible, so that it can be distributed." ”

As soon as Comrade Li Er heard that these old killers had used them, he understood that these people knew the benefits of this telescope, so he withdrew his hand holding the telescope, nodded, and pointed to the imperial study and said, "Go in and talk about it." After saying that, he took the lead and entered the imperial study.

After entering the imperial study and sitting down, Comrade Li Er slowly asked: "How should this thing be distributed, I don't know what your Aiqing can propose?" ”

The meaning of Comrade Li Er's words is very clear, this thing is good, but it is only available in Datang, for the current era, no country can do it, and then on the battlefield can see such a long distance, this thing can be regarded as a secret weapon, if it is in the 'engagement' war, it can not be obtained by the enemy because of negligence, and there must be a limit to this distribution.

After all, he is the head of the General Staff Headquarters, and he must take the lead in all matters in the army, and then the relevant departments and 'departments' will carry out the implementation.

At this time, although Wang Ke also had some thoughts in his heart, he couldn't just say it right away, so he had to wait until Li Jing finished speaking, and Comrade Li Er asked him before he could speak.

Li Jing thought for a while before saying: "Your Majesty, this thing is really very magical, for the dynamics on the battlefield, it is much stronger than now that we can see with our eyes alone, we can see far away, and we can see clearly, and when we fight in the future, we can only send scouts to distant places, and for close places, we can rely on this thing to observe, and it can also be more beneficial to the march and command of the army." ”

Li Jing is worthy of being an expert in warfare, and in just such a short period of effort, he has already thought of such a far-reaching significance, and he has to make Comrade Li Er and a group of old killers nod their heads frequently, agreeing with his views on the role that telescopes can play.

Li Jing paused for a while, and then continued: "For the distribution of this thing, the minister thinks that it cannot be distributed too much, it can only be distributed to the battalion level, anyway, the combat teams below have to obey the command from above and carry out unified actions, when the two sides 'fight' each other, it is necessary to engage in hand-to-hand 'hand-to-hand' combat, once there are casualties, this thing may fall into the hands of the enemy, which is not good for our army." ”

Li Jing's words have to be said to be very thoughtful; in this era of cold weapons, the final key to victory lies in the close 'hand-to-hand' combat of the soldiers on both sides, and the battalion-level unit is indeed the smallest combat unit, and if the scale is a little larger, it may be a divisional operation, and if the telescopes are too densely distributed, so that even the first-level ones can be carried with them, there is no need at all.

After listening to Li Jing's speech, Comrade Li Er thought about it before saying: "If there are any other opinions, I will say them now, and I and all Aiqing will seriously consider it." ”

Although Comrade Li Er said this, these old killers have become accustomed to looking forward to Li Jing, and what Li Jing said in their eyes has already been said very comprehensively, and they have nothing to add, so they all sat there and did not speak.

Wang Ke saw that everyone didn't move, and he didn't have any intention of speaking, so he stood up and saluted Comrade Li Er and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. ”

For Wang Ke's appearance, everyone didn't think there was anything strange, this telescope was thought up by Wang Ke, Wang Ke must have his unique views in the application, which is also nothing to doubt, for Li Jing's opinion, they also saw that Wang Ke kept nodding when he listened to it just now, indicating that Wang Ke also agreed with Li Jing's opinion, so what Wang Ke wants to say now must be that they have been ignoring it all along, and now because of the reform of the army, there have been new changes, which must be made up.

Wang Ke glanced at these old killers, then looked at Comrade Li Er and said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Li just said is very reasonable, but there are some places where we need special affairs, and the ministers have no opinion on the level of distribution to the battalion, but this can only be for the army of our dynasty, as for the scouts and the newly formed special investigation team of our dynasty, they should be treated differently." These squads are all acting alone in a group of people, and cannot operate in the form of a battalion, so for them, this telescope should be distributed to people to facilitate their reconnaissance and action. As soon as Wang Ke said this, Li Jing stood up and said: "This may not work, the scouts and the special reconnaissance team are all very dangerous operations, if they are discovered by the enemy and captured or killed alive, won't this thing fall into the hands of the enemy." This is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Li Jing's worries cannot be said to be unreasonable, but Wang Ke also has no choice, whether it is a scout or a special scout, they are all engaged in the task of reconnoitring the enemy, if the enemy is on strict guard and cannot get close, how to reconnoiter the enemy's activities depends entirely on telescopes, without telescopes, there is no way to talk about reconnaissance.

Wang Ke said this truth, even Li Jing didn't know how to refute it, and finally Comrade Li Er adopted a compromise method: "This problem is indeed a problem, it's better to do this, don't distribute it to individuals, each team goes out, you can bring a few more, when you need to reconnoitre, you can equip one, and return it after you run out, so that you can also reduce the possibility of being taken by the enemy." ”

Now the crux of the problem is in this place, Li Jing is considering from the perspective that the telescope cannot be lost, and Wang Ke is considering it from the perspective that the action should be convenient to complete, if there is nothing wrong with it, but there is no way for these two contradictions to 'intersect', so we can only take Comrade Li Er's proposal and try to reduce the probability of the telescope being obtained by the enemy.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Comrade Li Er said to Wang Ke: "Does the kid have anything else to say?" ”

Of course, Wang Ke still has ideas, and now he must say it: "Now my Datang not only has an army on land, but also an army on the sea and in the air, and the distribution of telescopes will be different between the two armies." First of all, these two armies are different from the ground, on the ground, we also say that we can send soldiers to give orders, but there is no way to do this at sea and in the air, so this connection has to come up with a way, and the distribution of telescopes must also be different. ”

As soon as Wang Ke's words came out, everyone in the room reacted, the current army is really different from before, there is now a hot air balloon in the air, and in the future war, Datang can completely attack the enemy from the air; At sea, although the navy has not yet been formed, it will eventually be, and no one really has thought about what Wang Ke said.

Comrade Li Er is really starting to feel a little taste of today's topic now, he didn't expect that the distribution of telescopes would cause so many topics, and he had never thought of it before.

Comrade Li Er eagerly urged Wang Ke: "Boy, go on, what is the difference between these two armies. ”

Regarding Comrade Li Er's thoughts, the old killers and Li Ke also have the same desire, and they are all looking at Wang Ke at this time, waiting for him to say the following.

Wang Ke continued: "It is more convenient at sea, as long as each ship is equipped with a telescope, supplemented by how to contact the method, it is enough to achieve the purpose of communication." As for the air, it is really a bit difficult, if the distance between the hot air balloons in the sky is too far away, this connection is much more difficult, if each hot air balloon is equipped with a telescope, it is not very realistic, you can't let them fight for themselves, in that way, the power is much smaller. For this, I have to ask the emperor and all the adults to weigh it. ”

Wang Ke's words, all the people present fell into contemplation, this problem has never been encountered, there was only ground operations before, there has been no such problem, but now it is different, this land and air, sea and air coordination, the connection has become a big problem, if as Wang Ke said, there is no unified command, each fights, then the power is much smaller, maybe because the order is not unified, it is not impossible to lead to the defeat of a battle!

Wang Ke was also considered to be out of the army, but he was just a soldier at that time, and he was originally half-aware of this kind of command matter, but now he can talk about it to this extent, which is already very good, and it will be a little difficult for him to say a specific way.

Seeing that everyone is now unable to make a name for themselves, Comrade Li Er also knows that it is impossible to make this matter clear at once, and it will take time to solve these problems.

But now he is very interested in the contact method that Wang Ke said, and he really wants to know what Wang Ke thinks about this issue, so he asked Wang Ke tentatively: "Boy, do you have any ideas about the contact method you said?" Can you tell me and all of you Aiqing to listen to it first? ”

In fact, for this, Wang Ke knows a little bit of skin', for long-distance contact, the flag language is a very good method, whether it is sunny or rainy, as long as you can see the other party, you can use it, even in the later generations when communication has been very developed, the flag language is also indispensable in the army.

Wang Ke replied honestly: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know exactly what to do, but this method the minister knows, that is, to use a unique set of flag-waving gestures to conduct dialogue, so that the commander or the interlocutor can convey the meaning they want to express to the other party through the waving flag, this method is also the flag language." ”

Wang Ke's words completely stunned everyone in the room, they didn't expect that there was such a way to communicate, this was a completely new world for them, so they didn't have a little room to let their imagination be.

Now that they were becoming more and more curious about Wang Ke, Comrade Li Er unconsciously asked, "Boy, how do you know so many things, how do you know!" ”

Wang Ke shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "Your Majesty, the minister can know this, but he is just standing on the shoulders of giants!" ”
