"Peace talks, why do you say that?" Shang Wen asked Meng Yi puzzled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"My idea is that at present we have a great disadvantage militarily, especially the situation in Dawan is much higher than the situation on the battlefield in Liaodong, and you also know very well that the result of fighting such a war is very unfavorable to us, especially in terms of public opinion. What do people think of us? Meng Yi asked Shang Wen.
"Hmm." Shang Wen nodded.
"You're right, if the military is not easy to solve, we can communicate through political means, it's just that this matter is easy to say, but it's more troublesome to do, you and I know that in such a situation, we have encountered far more things than we imagined. And we don't have direct communication with the Goguryeo people. Shang Wen said.
"This." Meng Yi couldn't say anything.
"We can try it on the battlefield, or." Meng Yi looked at Shang Wen and said.
"Hmm. Well, tell the Chief of Staff what we think, let him deal with this, or let the Department of Defense think about it. Shang Wen said to Meng Yi.
Within the Ministry of Defense.
"Now there is another conscription, and all of a sudden an army of 100,000 people will appear." Wei Yi is very worried, this will cause panic in various countries, we have issued a document to inform the surrounding countries of our plan, and we want to ensure that the direction of our use of troops is the Western Regions, not the six countries of the Kwantung region. Wei Yu said.
"Hmm. Such an explanation, I think they should believe, is just that the current recruitment work, as well as the difficulty of training, and the pressure of our Ministry of Defense still have many problems to solve. Meng Tian said to Wei Yu.
"Hmm." Wei Yu just nodded in agreement.
"That's right. The prime minister asked us to change the mode of training, and let us reorganize the army a lot at once. Because judging by the way we train the Huns, it seems that the combat effectiveness has not been fully exerted. Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.
"Yes, this is what I am worried about, and this has been fully illustrated on the battlefield in Liaodong, and the problems in commanding operations and training are particularly serious." Meng Tian said.
"It will take us quite a long time to integrate in order for the newly formed troops to become well-trained, and this cycle, which usually takes six months, plus the understanding of the Hun soldiers, and the habits of the combat regulations. I'm afraid this will take even longer, and in boot camps, their adaptation period is longer again. For example, in this rapid advance, most of the troops are maintained by companies and platoons, and the larger ones are at the battalion level, while the battle groups at the regimental level basically do not exist. Meng Tian said.
"It also shows that their circle is small. It is difficult to adapt to such a way of fighting. Meng Tian said worriedly.
"Hmm. You're looking closely. Wei Yu said.
"These are all written in the report, I have read a lot, many Qin army officers have responded to such problems, those Hun soldiers have very poor comprehension, they don't know how to use a lot of tools, combat ability. It can be said that originally their combat ability was very high, but after the weapon was replaced, this ability quickly deteriorated a lot. Meng Tian shook his head and said.
"That is, their potential is not being realized?" Wei Yu asked.
"I think that's how it should be." Meng Tian said.
"Hmm. In your opinion, how do we solve this problem? Wei Yu asked.
"The solution is that we have to take a whole new approach to training." Meng Tian said.
"Tell me about it." Wei Yi said.
"Here's how I do it." Meng Tian said.
"We can draw a main regiment from the elite standing army, such as the 1st to 3rd Infantry Divisions, and on the basis of this main regiment, we will arrange those Xiongnu soldiers who have been trained intensively, so that their combat effectiveness will be improved in a short period of time, and they will also have rich combat experience. This is of great benefit to us. Meng Tian said.
"In addition, there are those Hun soldiers, who only need to go through simple recruit training, and do not learn other tactical courses and so on. In this way, their training cycle will be greatly reduced, and the training speed will be very fast, and then they will be replenished into the expanded army by these extracted backbone troops. After training and polishing by veterans and officers, I think they can quickly complete some combat missions. Meng Tian said.
"In this way, I personally believe that we can effectively prevent the situation that the Hun soldiers are not strong in combat effectiveness and their combat effectiveness, as well as the situation of independent command." Meng Tian said.
"Well, it makes sense, but there is still a big problem, the weapons and equipment of these troops are not of the same level as those equipped by the Huns." Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.
"So, that's the hardest part." Meng Tian said worriedly.
"At present, our logistics supply capacity, unless it is close to the railway, the supply capacity cannot afford such a large logistics supply." Meng Tian said.
Although some Xiongnu combat units are also equipped with fixed guns, these are two different caliber guns and ammunition, and the training methods are also very different, and the tactical characteristics are also different, such as heavy artillery units, the same combat regiment level, the Hun combat units do not have such equipment. And the salaries of both sides are different, the salaries of the Xiongnu soldiers are generally much less than the salaries of ordinary soldiers of the Qin army, if the two are mixed, the soldiers of the Qin army will level out such a salary package, which is a burden on the finances, in addition, there are a large number of weapons and equipment. Weapons must be unified.
"It's going to have a big impact and we need to think about it. Your proposal is good, though. Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.
"Hmm. I didn't think of anything else, but I think it's the quickest way to do it, but we still have a chance to improve it. Meng Tian said.
"That's right, but before we do that, we have to think about another issue, which is transportation." Wei Yi said.
"There are not many problems with the railway transportation of the Qin army, but after the railway transportation, for example, some places need locomotive transportation, but we do not have oil. In another place, we can pass horse-drawn carriages, but most of the road is not usable. Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.
"It's too much logistical pressure on us. We need to solve this problem well, and the Prime Minister's Office has also issued such a report. Wei Yu said to Meng Tian.
"This is a big problem, and I think that the Qin army may have to set up such a branch of troops in the future to solve this problem." Meng Tian said.
