Chapter 50: Building a Contingent of Faith

In the evening, Qin Feng stood on a high mountain beam, remembering the conversation with Li Qinwen last night. Li Qinwen is a top student of West Point, after returning to China, there is no upper route, he has been serving as a diplomatic attache in Shanghai, this time as the head of the security regiment, Qin Feng can be said to be a grace to him.

"Zhejiang is a land of abundance, with a large population, plus Shanghai and the surrounding areas, the population has exceeded 30 million. It is not difficult to form a local army, but it is very difficult to hold the area. In the future, will Yeosu be a situation besieged on all sides? Now you let some intellectuals who don't understand military affairs control the army. Li Qinwen couldn't help but speak in a heavier tone, with a solemn expression on his face.

Qin Feng glanced at Li Qinwen, at this moment, he understood Li Qinwen's thoughts, there was no danger to defend, and the army could not expand indefinitely, although it was rich, it was difficult to support such a large area of defense. The most important thing is that there is no confidence in the Communist Party.

In fact, Qin Feng had already considered these things earlier, and he had thought about them carefully.

The army can't be too much, Yeosu can't afford to support it at all, a huge army, the army can't be without faith, and an army without faith is the same as bandits.

This area is the strength of an army, and even if it can be supported, if you want to build an elite army, it will be difficult to achieve the use of funds. You can't let Zhejiang businessmen donate money, right? In the future, the Communist Party will control the local government.

Then it's not one party in power, but a lot of money, Sao Bao. robbed the rich and helped the poor, robbed their own homes, and in the end they could only be left with greedy people, which did not help.

Li Qinwen's translucent eyes shrank slightly, his hands were clasped together quietly, his fingers were crossed, from a psychological point of view, he was in a very tangled mood now, on the one hand, Zhejiang was his hometown, and he also wanted to make a contribution; But what about the other side? He believed that Qin Feng would face defeat in the future, and he would lose very badly.

He didn't want to see it even more, because Qin Feng insisted on going his own way. Zhejiang, which was originally quite stable, has become a battlefield with a miserable scene of floating corpses everywhere.

Some intellectuals who do not understand military affairs at all want to become the highest ruler in the region. It is ridiculous to brazenly regard army building as the first priority of the ruling party.

Governing ideas, taxation, and protecting the territory and the people, these may not be difficult for Qin Feng. But the army is not child's play. Where are the successful cases of literati leading the army?

Zhao Erxun back then. The training of the new army failed, but the bandits of the three eastern provinces were armed; Xu Shichang, who is still on stage, but can't even manage things outside the presidential palace, isn't it the best example?

Unconsciously. Li Qinwen had already classified Qin Feng as Zhao Erxun and his ilk.

can only dream, but he doesn't understand military affairs.

"The army is not supposed to be used for defense, passive defense can only be a situation of being beaten everywhere. Building an army with offensive capabilities is my real intention. Although the time is a bit tight, I don't think it will be difficult to achieve this goal with the right arrangements. Only with an army with offensive capabilities can we truly do this. Deterrence of the surroundings to nip war in the bud. ”

Looking at Qin Feng's eloquent tone, Li Qinwen said in his heart, it is really a speechmaker, and what he says is better than what he does. The man in front of him. It is more suitable to argue with Li Hongsheng about the success or failure of the French Revolution. The army is not something that ordinary people can play.

It's as ridiculous as a three-year-old child standing in front of a seven-foot man and showing off his might.

Fortunately, Li Qinwen was well-educated enough and didn't laugh out loud.

The only thing that made him wonder was where Qin Feng's confidence, or arrogance, came from? Or is it a literati who carries a three-foot Qingfeng sword, he doesn't know what his surname is, eats a few bowls of dry rice, and thinks that the competition for the world is nothing more than that?

Although he was disdainful in his heart, Li Qinwen was still very interested in Qin Feng's statement, after all, it was not easy to meet a ridiculous person, so he smiled with a teasing expression: "Ziyi, have you ever been in the army?" ”

"Nope."

Qin Feng shook his head, army building, of course he didn't have a chance to get involved. However, the special forces in the previous life, since the beginning of their formation, have a very clear goal, and they are a special operations force that has been piled up with huge financial resources.

As for the defensive terrain of Lishui, he also thought that instead of spending a lot of resources to build fortifications, it is better to rely on the existing transportation facilities near Lishui, focus on the construction of combat readiness roads, and train a well-equipped combat unit that does not have too many numbers.

"No experience in the military?"

When Li Qinwen said this, he also felt incredible, he didn't know anything about the army, and it was completely a kind of imaginary naivety. But it is a bit ridiculous to say that it is necessary to assemble an army with offensive capabilities?

Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said in his heart: "If I study in a military school, what else do I want you to do?" Wouldn't it be better to do everything on your own? ”

However, if it smells of gunpowder, he will not say it, at least not in front of Li Qinwen. After all, he is a professional, and if he really wants to be more serious, the dumb person who will be refuted in the end must be him.

just smiled meaningfully, picked up the coffee pot, and added new coffee to Li Qinwen, like most literary and artistic youths, when he was young and ignorant, he held his head, thinking that clear coffee was enough to tone. However, he will never do this kind of stupid thing again, it is bitter and astringent, and it is completely the same as traditional Chinese medicine. Except that the important smell is better than that of traditional Chinese medicine, there is nothing to praise it, and it is completely the rhythm of putting oneself to death.

"I have military advisers, and they combined the topography of Yeosu and gave a proposal that I thought was completely feasible at my request."

"Oh, am I honored to know?" Li Qinwen immediately expressed a strong interest, it turned out that it was not done behind closed doors.

"It is to form an army with the strength to fight in a short period of time, at all costs. Crush your opponents with equipment. Qin Feng smiled: "Of course, this is also because of the rush of time, so we can only retreat to the second." The army, as I understand it, is divided into four stages. Several other stages can be skipped, but the last stage is the soul of an army that cannot be bypassed. ”

"Four stages." Li Qinwen listened freshly.

Qin Feng didn't see it, and said, "The first stage is the family of soldiers and bandits. To put it bluntly, it is to take up arms and harm the township, the officer is the leader of the bandits, and the soldiers are the bandits. Nowadays, this is the case with the military in many places. There are many reasons for this, such as lack of effective military discipline, lack of supplies, guest battles, and so on. But this is the worst army, and for those in power, it is absolutely intolerable. ”

Li Qinwen's eyes lit up, and he also agreed with what Qin Feng said, the soldiers and bandits were a family. The possibility of a guest soldier battle is the greatest, and the host suppresses the other party from time to time in order to suppress the help invited, causing supply difficulties and having to levy food and wages on the spot. So he nodded and said: "That's right, the bandit family, the bandits also know that maintaining the safety of the territory is the law of their survival." What about the second? ”

"The second stage is better, collecting bandits as soldiers. The bandits here refer to the displaced people, and all dynasties and dynasties have adopted the practice of incorporating the displaced people into the army, but they lack combat effectiveness and have low morale. In the event of war, the imminent collapse of such an army is the most common sign of such an army. ”

"The third type is slightly better, for the purpose of protecting the territory and the people, recruiting soldiers directly from the locality, the characteristics of this kind of army are also obvious, fighting bravely in the hometown, once leaving the original station, there is no morale and combat effectiveness."

"The last type is the army of faith, from the soldiers and officers to a clear goal, and to fight for it. This is no longer the goal of the army that can be achieved by training, which requires long-term inculcation of faith in the army, and it is very demanding for officers at the grassroots level of the army. The role played by military schools, especially officers who are cultivated by political beliefs, in the military will be immeasurable. The Japanese army is to tie bushido and grassroots officers together, and the benefits are obvious, the army is often very high morale under the leadership of grassroots officers, and the training of officers is also very convenient. But there are also hidden dangers, the officers from the bottom, arbitrary, paranoid, and even obstinately paternalistic practices, will be instilled in the entire army, and finally the government will lack control over the army, and maybe one day in the future, the army will control the entire government, or maybe. However, this education model is the lowest-cost military education model, which can improve the combat capability of the army in a very short period of time. ”

It wasn't until this moment that Li Qinwen suddenly woke up, maybe Qin Feng was not like what he thought he was, he was a scholar who talked eloquently, maybe the other party already had a strict idea, but the conditions didn't allow it. Only then did he look squarely and said, "You also saw it?" ”

"What?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, but when he noticed Li Qinwen's nervous expression, he realized that the other party also saw the problem of the Japanese army.

Perhaps, this is the reason why Li Qinwen said that the Japanese army is a bad army.

Advocating individual heroism, while instilling courage, will also increasingly deviate from constraints. And a non-binding army is a disaster for a country, or even for the entire surrounding countries: "You mean the growing militarism in the Japanese army, right? Instill the ideology of the army into the ideological level of the whole country, and finally let the soldiers decide the fate of the country? ”

Li Qinwen was shocked unconsciously, and asked rhetorically, "Isn't it?" ”

However, Qin Feng's answer made Li Qinwen feel helpless: "It's better to bully people than to be bullied." ”

Seeing Li Qinwen's stunned expression, Qin Feng smiled heartily, and his heart was also beautiful, at least he had bluffed a military talent, this kind of satisfaction was irreplaceable.

Li Qinwen's eyes were straight, the corners of his mouth were dry, and his mood was like a rainy day, and he couldn't see any sunlight in the melancholy sky, and he felt that he had cracked into two people, two completely different people. One is a stroll through the European countryside, where as far as the eye can see, is an endless field of farmland, dotted with slightly clumsy looking country houses; Or in a big city like Florence, with Dante's poetry collection in his hand, looking at the passers-by and those mottled magnificent buildings, and wanting to shout with indignation: "This rotten world has made the soul fall." Then he swallowed a large glass of markach and joined the crowd of revelers.

But what about one aspect?

He seemed to be shuttling through the tunnels of the British positions on the Somme, the smell of gunpowder from the bombs, the stench of burnt corpses, and the panicked faces in the tunnels, looking at the little light at the mouth of the tunnel in horror......

The literati are light, and they are not allowed to fight in their nests every day, let alone the martial artists they look down on.

As for the literati seeing the martial arts clearly, one of the reasons given is that the martial artists are promoted quickly, but most literati will not say this, and the vulgarity of the martial artists is the best explanation.

Read less and have more bad habits.

As for the literati, most of those who advocate martial arts are not recognized.

Not every literati in the army can have the same merits as Wang Yangming. Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty, that is, Wang Shouren, was a demonic existence. After Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty, he was the fourth Confucian saint and was the object to be worshipped.

Emperor Zhengde, who liked military affairs back then, heard about King Ning's rebellion, and he was so happy in the capital! Immediately issued an edict and drove the expedition in person. It's a good idea. Imagining that Emperor Zhengde, who commanded thousands of troops and horses, had just walked out of the gate of the capital with his front foot, and the messenger came, and King Ning was exterminated. This breath was blocked in his chest all of a sudden, and he almost didn't investigate Wang Yangming's dismissal.

But there is no way, people have made great contributions, and they have made great achievements in counterinsurgency, and they have to be knighted in any dynasty and generation.

Virtue, meritorious service, and speech.

Wang Yangming's psychology is an important academic study that has influenced the Ming and Qing dynasties for more than 400 years, and even Zhang Binglin is still studying. Actually, the Republican period. There are many experts and scholars who study 'psychology'.

"Because of faith!"

"What faith?"

"It is faith to protect the family and defend the country, it is also faith to protect the territory and the people, and it is also faith to expel foreign criminals! Faith is not born and needs to be propagated. The role of literature is to resonate with the souls of the people, so that they can think about the true truth of life. And the army, if there is no faith, is a bandit who occupies the mountain as the king, a robber warlord who tramples on the law! Of course, the belief of our security regiment is still very rudimentary, and it is only to protect the territory and the people. ”

"No war can be said to be just. But a soldier is also a man, not a war machine. In the current Republic of China, most soldiers do not understand this, and the vast majority of people believe that serving as a soldier is for military pay, that is, to support their families. A small number of people believe that being a soldier can change their fate, and if they are lucky, they can also become an official. There are also those who need to have enough power in their hands to gain dignity in life......"

"That's a great point." Li Qinwen's eyes showed a look of admiration, and he didn't know whether it was true or not, and he seemed to have found the spiritual support needed by an army.
