When?

Apparently this is a classified!

As a traverser, Zhu Yifeng knows very well when the time is the most appropriate. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The most appropriate time is when the enemy is at his weakest, with the least casualties, the least cost to get the maximum return. But now it was obviously impossible for him to tell Linus why he chose that time, whether he knew the future.

Of course you can't say that!

How should I say that?

Strategic vision!

That's right!

"How so?"

The corners of his lips raised slightly, and Zhu Yifeng showed off his "strategic vision" and showed off his superiority.

"The timing is complicated, not just military, but political, economic, and other aspects."

Even any military enthusiast who is slightly fond of military affairs, with the vision and knowledge of a century and a half ahead of this time and space, can naturally play with his "strategic vision" in front of the people of this era and reveal his extraordinary. Thus to prove their greatness.

"As far as we are concerned, before going to war, in addition to military and political issues, we also need to consider economic and internal affairs, and the amount of water that a barrel can hold does not depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank."

When this was widely known as the "short board effect" a century and a half later, Linus was not able to understand his sentence at first, but repeated it on his lips, and seeing him repeating there, Zhu Yifeng explained.

"For a barrel to be full of water, it must be equally flat and unbroken, and if one of the planks of the barrel is uneven or there is a hole in the bottom of one of the planks, the bucket cannot be filled with water. The amount of water a barrel can hold does not depend on the longest plank, but on the shortest plank. It can also be called the "short board effect". In the same way, a common problem that any organization may face is that the parts that make up the organization are often uneven, and the inferior parts often determine the level of the whole organization......"

The same is true for countries, and in the history of mankind, there are too many examples of recklessly waging wars and ultimately destroying oneself regardless of one's own "shortcomings". One of the most important examples is perhaps Japan's challenge to the United States during World War II, when Japan completely ignored the huge gap between its own industrial poppies and industry, and tried to seek military victory through a military adventure.

"Militarily, we have a lot of advantages, we have the world's best rear-loading needle gun, the best breech gun, our military organization may have many shortcomings, but we have the General Staff, we use cable telegraph and telegraph to solve the communication problem, but militarily, what is our biggest shortcoming? It is the quality of officers, and we do not have military commanders who are good enough to command a large-scale campaign, so this determines that we cannot confront a real army power militarily for the time being. So militarily, so ...... politically"

Walking to the map, Zhu Yifeng pointed to the map and said.

"Many people think that in this Henan campaign, we should occupy the whole of Henan, but they ignore one point, this attack on Henan, not only a military attack but also a political attack, we through the relief of refugees in Henan to win the hearts of the people, to destroy the foundation of the Manchu rule, and they compete for the hearts of the people, compared with the Manchus, what is the biggest political shortcoming? The Manchu Qing ruled China for more than 200 years, and the Chinese people regarded it as orthodox, and we only had three years, and many people regarded us as thieves! Even if we win the war, we will have to clean up the hearts and minds of the people in the future, and it will take ten or twenty years to clean up the hearts and minds of the people and establish orthodoxy. Now and in the future, China's reunification war is three parts military and seven points political, and our actions in Henan tell everyone that we are the best choice compared to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Army, and this is true for each and every one of them! When the time comes, they will "eat pot pulp to welcome the king", and when the time comes, we will be orthodox! At least in the minds of most people, we are orthodox! ”

War is never a simple military issue, just as Zhu Yifeng once suggested that Linus add a "political" item to the war game, war is more often a political issue than just a military issue.

""Eat pot pulp to welcome the king" ......"

Reading this sentence on his lips, Linus, who can now speak fluent Chinese, is no stranger to this sentence. It is also very clear that for many Chinese generals, the honor they seek is this kind of "eating pot pulp to welcome the king".

Thinking of what happened in Henan, the people there welcomed the rebels, and they took the initiative to grow or cut their hair without the need for the rebels to supervise them...... Of course, this is because the Taiping army has threatened many people with knives before. Only after experiencing brutality will they become fascinated by "righteousness"! And the so-called "eating pot pulp to welcome the king" is just that the people are tired of tyranny.

For the people, whether it is the righteous army, the Taiping army, or the Qing army, they are all tigers and wolves, in the face of the tiger wolves, they have no power to fight back, the lesser of the two powers, the lesser of the two, who does the least harm to them, who is the "king" and "orthodox" in their minds, this is the survival wisdom of the sheep in the face of the beast.

"I think I get it!"

Looking at Linus, who seemed to understand, Zhu Yifeng suddenly asked.

"So, unless we have military and political reasons, where are our shortcomings now?"

Now this question is beyond the scope of Linus's understanding, and Zhu Yifeng did not deliberately ask it, and finally just told him to come up with a plan for the reorganization of four to five mixed brigades as soon as possible, and then left the General Staff, when he left the General Staff, he deliberately looked at the young staff officers over there, they were all extremely young without exception, and they were all a group of guys in their twenties.

Most of them are in the top 20 of the Army's Armament Academy -- only those who are at the top will be able to enter the General Staff, and they will study here for a year, or even longer, before they will enter the grassroots units; in fact, from that time on, they will embark on a fast track in life -- they will be company commanders for half a year, then they will be promoted to regimental staff officers, and then they will serve in the first and second regimental staff, and then they will become battalion commanders, and then they will be promoted to regimental commanders.

This rule is Zhu Yifeng's reference to the German military system in later generations, and its concept is that a person must first understand the comprehensive, and then be responsible for the part, so that he knows how to cooperate with others, so the chief of staff of the German army is a lieutenant colonel, the regiment commander is a colonel, the deputy division commander is a brigadier general, and the division commander is a major general. First become the chief of staff of the division, understand its comprehensiveness as a staff member, and then go to be the regiment commander. When he became the battalion commander, he knew what kind of position his battalion was in the whole regiment, and when the battalion commander gave the order, he was already mentally prepared and knew what he should do next. This is also the most basic "first experience the whole, after understanding the whole, and then taking part of the responsibility, will take the initiative to meet the needs of the whole." ”

For example, if an officer has been trained in the first and second divisions, while another officer has only been trained in the first and second divisions, it is natural that the former should be given priority as the chief of staff of the division, because he has the experience and knowledge of the two staff departments. In this way, it can be avoided that the three battalion commanders originally looked like brothers, and in the end, in order to grab a division chief of staff, the three of them became enemies, and it was this "enemy" who did not know how many troops were destroyed.

"It seems that there is only one ginseng, and two ginseng is not enough......"

As the formulator of this rule, Zhu Yifeng knows very well what the first and second staff members are responsible for, because there are two adjutants under a chief staff officer, one is the personnel adjutant and the other is the education adjutant, that is, the first and second staff officers, the former is in charge of personnel and logistics, and the latter is in charge of intelligence and operations. In the regimental troops, only these two sections are sufficient, but will the brigades and divisions in the future be enough?

Obviously, this is a problem. After returning to the office, Zhu Yifeng immediately picked up the pen and began to think about some of the materials he had read in later generations, although the so-called military establishment can be done to the point of being handy, after all, there are a lot of materials to be found in the books and the Internet in later generations, but there are always some strangers to the division and brigade level staff officers, many people only see the establishment, but do not see the brain of the army, the overall establishment is the body, and the staff officer is its brain.

"It is necessary to perform the duties of independent operations, and since the units are expanded, the affairs are more complicated, and the responsibilities of participating in one and participating in the two must be separated......

So after the current group ginseng was decomposed, Zhu Yifeng decomposed it into four departments, then thought for a while, and then added a "ginseng five", and finally Zhu Yifeng looked at the plan he had just prepared.

"The first is in charge of personnel, the second is in charge of intelligence, the third is in charge of operations, and the fourth is in charge of logistics.

After determining this plan, Zhu Yifeng made some adjustments to the establishment of divisions and brigades, gave his own suggestions, and then put the plan into a document box on a table, and soon this plan will be sent to the General Staff Department, which will be carefully divided and added to the future compilation and revision.

After doing all this, looking at the other document box, looking at the thick stack of reports to be done, these reports are all civil affairs submitted by the military government, Zhu Yifeng's brows suddenly wrinkled, and then sighed helplessly.

"Actually, the real shortcoming here is internal affairs."
