As a soldier, Tan Feng certainly understands the origin of these commanders' staff departments. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info originated in China from the traditional shogunate of the shogunate, and the various counselors and advisers of the shogunate were not customized, had no fixed staff, and were not systematic. Therefore, in China, this kind of staff department has not been well developed, because in the East, great attention was paid to the personal ability of generals, but the use of various auxiliary personnel was seriously neglected.

Later in the West, various staff departments were formed. Staff officers originated from Napoleon in France, and later flourished in Germany, and finally almost all countries in the world with armies will form the highest staff body. Although the name, power, and organizational structure are different, they are almost essential. It is no accidental coincidence that this can be so popular in the world, it has a huge role in it. No one of the military historians of any country will deny the important use of the General Staff, including China.

"The subordinates of this staff department are generally divided into operational departments, and the operational departments have operational staff officers, who are responsible for formulating operational plans and coordinating among various services and arms. For example, the plans of the infantry and cavalry are connected, including various plans, and the corresponding plans will be made from you. The battle plan was formulated and handed over to the chief of staff, who was also Wang Jingwen, and asked him to give me the plan, and I will approve the implementation! ”

"Even if there is a problem in any part of the battle when necessary, I will be able to send some operational staff officers to supervise and supervise the implementation of the combat mission to ensure the smooth completion of the combat mission, which is a strictly forbidden internal division of labor."

"There are others, including communications staff. The communications staff officer is responsible for the management of various communications, and formulates some secret words to ensure that secrets are not leaked. And give me some advice in the field of communications, and ensure the implementation of various military mail and other communication plans. ”

"The military affairs department is responsible for managing the soldiers' military registration, officers and soldiers' files, recruiting soldiers and officers, and even arranging affairs after soldiers and retired officers go to other places to take up posts.

"The mobilization department is responsible for the mobilization of all kinds of reserves, as well as the mobilization of all kinds of materials. For example, including us Mongols, the mobilization of the Mongols includes supplies and population, so that they can support us......"

Some members of the Wang family asked curiously: "Commander, hasn't this always been there in the past?" Many generals will send people to do these things before the battle, so why should there be a department in society? ”

Wang Jingwen also asked: "Commander, this is not something that generals and commanders have in the past, why is it necessary?" ”

In fact, what Tan Feng said is the habit of ancient generals, including the formulation of battle plans, military management, mobilization, etc., someone will be responsible. Of course, this is the general's temporary appointment of some advisers and staff members to be in charge. However, Tan Feng set this up as a department to be responsible, is this a bit redundant?

"No, there is customization and there is no customization, the difference is too big. What's more, with customization and special responsible personnel, it is a huge improvement in the execution of the troops. The execution ability of the troops is the foundation of the combat effectiveness of the troops. If the execution of the troops is not good, in the end, no matter how good the battle plan is, it will be in vain. This staff department is essentially used to ensure the execution of the troops, especially in all aspects. Only by executing every detail well can we go to better combat in the future. ”

"In fact, many battle plans in this world are very good. But why did they face the inability to implement it in the end, and then face defeat? In fact, the most important factor is the ability to execute, which is a strict enforcement to ensure that the troops' ability to execute can be implemented. Once there is a problem in one link, this battle plan cannot be implemented, and it will inevitably lead to the collapse of the entire battle situation in the end. ”

"Do you know Zhao Kuo? Although Zhao Kuo was scolded as a soldier on paper, in fact, Zhao Kuo was not a person who talked on paper, but was slandered by some literati later. However, I think Zhao Kuo is actually very suitable to be a chief of staff, because he attaches great importance to all aspects of the details, and even personally went to the battlefield many times to investigate the situation. Of course, why Zhao Kuo failed, this is due to many reasons, and it cannot be considered that Zhao Kuo is an incompetent general. ”

Tan Feng explained to these Wang family members the importance of the General Staff, and various staff officers ensured the implementation of various tasks. In the past, there were such people among generals, but they were temporarily appointed by the generals to be in charge. On the one hand, such people are unprofessional and only responsible for the short term, and cannot accumulate experience. There are many disadvantages to this kind of temporary appointment of a person in charge by a general. If a fixed department is directly formed, those staff officers will become more familiar with and accumulate experience even if they are not from this specialty.

On the other hand, once a fixed department is formed, even if all of them are laymen, what does it matter? With a fixed department and a fixed work process, it is of great help to the handover of various tasks and the inheritance of experience. Those who are appointed by the commander on a temporary basis often find it difficult to hand over their experience and various work processes to their successors, and the way of no customization and no fixed personnel is very bad, and it is a very saponin problem from the perspective of management.

"So, this is an important factor in my formation of the staff. Although you are not professional now, you will become more and more familiar with it in the future, and even if all kinds of officials leave in the future, you can leave the work process and work experience well, so that it will not cause problems after people leave. With a fixed person in charge, the execution of our army's operations has been maximized, and this is the most important thing. ”

Soon, Tan Feng asked these Wang family members to be grouped accordingly, with the combat department as the core, and the staff department was formed. Those young and vigorous Wang family members can go to the combat department, because the combat department can learn a lot of things, which will help to cultivate their ability in the future.

Tan Feng is still willing to cultivate and train these Wang family members, although they will be "relatives" in the future, it does not mean that they must be excluded. Those young people went to the combat department, although they were hard and tiring at the beginning, but they were the most tempering and helpful for the future. As for those who are older, they can go to other departments, so that they are not so tired, but the future is not too good, so it is just right to arrange for those who are older to do it.
