Chapter 461 West Lake Lecture Martial Arts Hall

At that moment, the group rode their horses and soon came to the gate of this deep mansion compound located on the edge of the West Lake.

Lin Xiao sat on horseback and looked at it, this mansion next to Yongjinmen covers a wide area, and the momentum is extraordinary, but he saw several guards standing outside the tall gatehouse, and the courtyard could not be distinguished, only to see that the roof was covered with copper tiles, golden nails and Zhu households, and painted carved railings, towering and magnificent......

Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help frowning, turned his head to look at Xia Bomin, and said unhappily, "You guys...... Why do you occupy such a big house? Isn't there a ready-made governor's yamen office? ”

Compared with the big mansion in front of him, in comparison, Lin Xiao had stayed before, whether it was the back house of the "Longsheng Commercial Bank" in Haiphong or the private residence of Jack Lee, a wealthy businessman in Macau, it was simply not worth mentioning.

"This kid, nothing else has grown, and the FB style is a fast learner?" Lin Xiao secretly complained in his heart.

"Where, don't wronged him,"

Xia Bomin, who looked embarrassed, didn't answer, but Li Tao said with a smile, "His headquarters is not here, it was my idea to come here to entertain you." ”

"Entertain me?"

Lin Xiao looked at him a little speechlessly, and pouted, "I've only lived for a few days?" Xingshi mobilized the crowd to make such a big house, I don't know how to disturb the people? ”

"It's not a nuisance anymore,"

Li Tao shook his head with a wry smile and sighed lightly, "This is an ownerless mansion. ”

"Ownerless?"

Lin Xiao looked in again and wondered, such a luxurious mansion, ownerless?

"Yes, no owner,"

Li Tao explained, "This mansion was indeed owned by a wealthy local businessman, but when the Qing army went south, the owner was tragically destroyed, and it was occupied by the Qing army's commander Bolo...... Later, it was occupied by Chen Jin, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian......"

"So, you're going to use this as a guest house?"

Lin Xiao looked at him with a faint gaze, and said unrelentingly.

"Just kidding, actually, there's another use here,"

Li Tao grinned and said with a smile, "I plan to set up a school here." ”

"Academy?"

"Yes,"

Li Tao nodded, "Short-term training school for land reform cadres, specific, let's go in and talk about ......"

While speaking, everyone dismounted and entered the compound.

After taking a seat in the main hall, before waiting for tea, Li Tao continued: "Lao Lin, you don't know, your fluttering sentence of land reform, Lao Li and I are about to die......"

"Good work, Lao Li."

Lin Xiao grinned and smiled apologetically.

"I don't work hard to fall second,"

Li Tao shook his hand and sighed lightly, "With such a large territory, there are land reform working groups stationed everywhere, where are so many people, I ...... It's really difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. ”

"Indeed,"

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "There aren't so many military cadres to be transferred." ”

"Yes, in Guangdong and northern Fujian alone, hundreds of cadres have been transferred, and they are all complaining and complaining,"

Li Tao raised his hand and pointed at Xia Bomin, and said with a wry smile, "Besides, among the officers in our army, how many people are literate and hyphenated, don't you know...... If they smoke any more, they will be almost out of platoon commanders. ”

"That's just as well,"

Lin Xiao frowned, "It seems that if you don't stick to one pattern and reduce talents, you can only recruit and hire them in the society?" ”

If the cadres of the army lose too much blood, the combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed, and it is indeed not a long-term solution.

"Yes,"

Li Tao nodded, "I asked you to turn the corner this time, because I have several important things to discuss with you, one of which is to recruit and enrich a group of local cadres and take up their posts as soon as possible after training." ”

Lin Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood what he meant.

"So, I took a fancy to this house on the edge of the West Lake, and depending on the situation, I have to train at least a few thousand people,"

After a pause, Li Tao continued, "Also, you must have seen that our troops are still extremely short, and it is inevitable to recruit and expand the army, so it is time to consider building a military cadre academy." ”

"Yes, you were very thoughtful,"

Lin Xiao smiled, "Actually, I'm also thinking about setting up a regular martial arts hall, with more and more teams, the regularization of middle and lower-level officers is indeed imminent." ”

"Martial arts? Okay, it's called ...... How is the West Lake Martial Arts Hall? ”

Li Tao stroked his palm and smiled, "However, in my opinion, in addition to training middle and lower-level officers, it is also necessary to open a senior officer course...... Let the in-service officers come for rotation training, and you need a group of staff officers with a higher level of education around you......"

"Okay, that's it,"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up, and he nodded in agreement, "Compared with the training courses for local cadres, it is a truly normalized project to continuously send military cadres at all levels to the troops through military academies." ”

As a military cadre from later generations, Lin Xiao knew very well that in the future, he and his brothers must be equipped with a group of military staff officers.

As the war progressed, the ranks grew larger and larger, and even the best commanders could not complete the tasks that required a few or even dozens of staff officers.

Of course, the opinions of staff officers are often varied, and each staff officer has his own opinions, and an excellent commander should listen to the opinions of his staff officers, but he must not be swayed by his staff officers, know when and which staff officers' opinions to adopt, select the most favorable, the most feasible, and the most suitable one, and then mobilize all his forces to implement them and use practical actions to achieve victory.

To put it bluntly, a commander must have one ability - to employ people.

Only commanders who know how to employ people and how to bring the abilities of their subordinates into full play can command the army in battle, and this is true of land warfare, naval warfare, and as long as it is a war, this is the truth.

Like Li Tao, Lin Xiao once again deeply realized that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and with responsibility, there is also a burden, so that when they face problems, they have to look farther and walk more steadily......

Next, the most important task before them, in addition to being modest, selecting and appointing talents, making every effort to make the country prosperous, and putting the internal environment in order well, is to continuously strengthen their military strength and expand their territory...... For as long as possible, let the Chinese nation stand tall in the east of the world.

Since time and space played a joke on a few of them, let them return to this era, and have the opportunity to lead China to take the lead on the road of a rich country and a strong army, then, there is no reason to go back, and there is no way to go back.

As a modern soldier from later generations, Lin Xiao is clearly aware that in history, no country has been able to achieve the status of global hegemon through peaceful means, Spain is no exception, Britain is no exception, the United States is no exception, and we are no exception.

The West is about to run into an industrial society, and the Eastern world will be forced to enter a turbulent period, and in the coming period, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, military conflicts will become the main theme of the global situation.

In this way, it is imperative to create a modern, regularized, and victorious army that will forcefully stifle all hostile forces.

Without advanced military thinking and an advanced command system, no matter how huge an army is, it will only be an empty shelf, and sooner or later it will become someone else's meat.
