Fang Xiaoyu said: "It's not a big deal, I originally ran a farm, and I want to do some other business recently, if I soak in the staff every day, it will be all delayed." Xia Ziqing was surprised that Fang Xiaoyu had already begun to take care of the family property at a young age, and he smiled at random: "I was worried about this, then you are worried in vain." ”

"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu looked at Xia Ziqing in surprise, not understanding what he meant. Xia Ziqing said with a smile: "The staff is different from the army, there is more time there. As long as it's not wartime, you can skip reporting at all, as long as you complete the tasks assigned by the marshal when the time comes. Xia Ziqing's words made Fang Xiaoyu's eyes light up, it turned out that the staff was so convenient, and he secretly thanked Marshal Xia for understanding him.

In fact, Xia Ziqing still didn't say half of what he said later, that is, although the staff department was relatively casual, there was no staff officer who didn't report it every day, after all, he wanted to leave a good impression on Marshal Xia, so as not to be promoted when he got it. But Xia Ziqing thought about it, Fang Xiaoyu is such a capable person, Marshal Xia is afraid that he will try his best to entrap him, not to mention that he is still so young.

Thinking of this, Xia Ziqing glanced at Fang Xiaoyu again, and secretly said in his heart how this kid grew up, he had such a ability at a young age, a big family is worthy of being a big family, and the talents cultivated are really too ordinary people to catch up.

Back at home, Fang Xiaoyu obtained his father's consent, occupied his study, and began to write a military training plan. Fang Xiaoyu didn't have to bother with any brains about the training plan, after all, it was all something he had personally experienced, and it was very simple to write him down. The only thing to consider is not to reveal too many advanced ideas, but also to consider what tactics should be used for existing weapons, anyway, because my mother was a history teacher in the university in my previous life, under her influence, I didn't read less history books, just take some modern classic tactics of various countries.

After thinking about it all, Fang Xiaoyu began to capitalize and close-up, physical training, the intensity was reduced by half, after all, the one he learned before was special forces training, and it was not appropriate to use that intensity to train ordinary soldiers. Target training and assassination training are necessary, and in this era when there are no automatic weapons, shooting accuracy and white-knuckle combat ability are still very important.

In addition, there are tactics that need to be changed after using rear-loading guns, first of all, the linear tactics are changed to skirmisher line tactics, and trenches are dug. Trench warfare is a classic tactic that has been used in the First World War, and even in some areas of World War II, what foxholes, trench nets, the more Fang Xiaoyu wrote, the more excited he became. Fang Xiaoyu was stunned, he tore off the whole piece of paper and crumpled it into a ball, and said to himself: "Damn, I was so excited to write it, I actually wrote down the machine gun fire configuration." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was stunned, yes, the invention of the steam engine caused large-scale industrialization, and with large-scale industrialization it became possible to use automatic weapons, and ammunition could be supplied. Now the Western Continent should have begun the industrial revolution that rapidly increased its national strength, not only will all kinds of products be produced in a steady stream, once the metal fixed ammunition comes out, I am afraid that the gas conduction heavy machine gun will not be far away, Fang Xiaoyu secretly considered whether to suggest that the Lanfang Empire introduce a steam engine now.

When he had the opportunity to mention it to the second grandfather, Fang Xiaoyu found that he only knew such a high-ranking government official as the second grandfather, but unfortunately the second grandfather was very busy with work and almost couldn't see him. Fang Xiaoyu, who started to write the plan again, quickly perfected the trench warfare, what ammunition depot fortress, artillery fortress, infantry communication trench, anti-artillery hole are all available, and by the time Fang Xiaoyu finished writing, it was already two hours later, and he wrote a full dozen pages of training plan.

"It's finally finished." Fang Xiaoyu stretched his waist, picked up the training plan and said, "Xiaofeng, look at how my training plan is written." Xiao Feng finished reading the entire training plan in one scan, and it said coldly: "It's not good, there are many defects." Fang Xiaoyu said without giving up: "I am considering the existing situation, there are not so many advanced weapons now, and many tactics cannot be used." Xiaofeng still said: "Even with the use of existing weapons, there are many flaws. ”

"Oh?" Fang Xiaoyu belonged to the kind of person who was happy when he heard it, and he immediately asked: "What are the defects in all aspects, you can talk about it." Xiao Feng said: "First of all, your training intensity is too high, if it is the future life, of course it is no problem, but the current military food supply is relatively simple, and it cannot provide enough energy and various nutrients, such training will drag the soldiers down." ”

Fang Xiaoyu nodded when he heard this, he had already taken into account the difference between special forces and ordinary soldiers, and the training intensity had been reduced by half, but he did not consider the nutrition of the food, and it seemed that the intensity would be reduced by half. Xiao Feng continued: "There is also trench warfare, the trench you designed does not have drainage ditches, if it is easy for the soldiers to get enough trenches in wartime, this will greatly reduce your own combat effectiveness. "That's right, Fang Xiaoyu nodded, he was indeed negligent, many soldiers in the First World War were so non-combat attrition, and he patronized and paid attention to the anti-artillery holes, ammunition stations and anti-slope artillery positions, it seems that it is really wise for him to divide a part of the research points to let Xiaofeng deduce strategies and tactics, and the effect will be immediately apparent.

Xiao Feng's words were still not finished: "The last and most serious problem, you are killing your own soldiers." Fang Xiaoyu jumped up after listening to Xiaofeng's words: "What? Even if my plan is a little reverie, it won't be so serious. Xiao Feng said: "What I'm talking about is not that all of your plans are bad, but there is one thing you haven't considered." The shooting forts and artillery forts you have set up are completely unusable. "How is this possible?" Fang Xiaoyu muttered unhappily.

Xiao Feng said: "Now the army uses black powder, black powder will produce a lot of smoke after ignition, you put soldiers and cannons into the closed fortress and not be choked to death." Fang Xiaoyu sighed in surprise, only then did he realize that his omission was there, he immediately tore up the training plan again, spread out the paper again and wrote, and wrote all the plans It was already dark, and his mother had come over several times to urge him to eat. Fang Xiaoyu stretched: "It's finally done, it's good to have Xiaofeng, there are no loopholes now, you can hand it in tomorrow." ”

Lying in bed at night, this is Fang Xiaoyu's fixed time to communicate with Xiaofeng. "Xiaofeng, is there any progress?" Fang Xiaoyu asked. Xiaofeng replied: "Yes, but there are not many results, only brewing and some spices can be made." ”

"Great." Fang Xiaoyu, who didn't have much expectations, became excited: "Then if I give you food now, you can make wine." "Impossible." Xiaofeng replied as always. "That's the answer again." Fang Xiaoyu frowned. Xiaofeng continued, "But as long as you can build the equipment, I can make wine. ”

"I see." Fang Xiaoyu immediately became happy: "What equipment do you want?" Xiao Feng immediately sketched out a relatively primitive handmade brewing equipment and a set of distillation equipment in his mind, and Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly found a pen and paper to draw it. Fang Xiaoyu looked at the drawings he had drawn, these equipment were mainly some wooden barrels, iron pots and iron pipes and the like, which were very easy to make, and he would go to Zhang Peiyun tomorrow to say hello.

It's no problem to make wine, but he doesn't plan to make those seasonings, after all, these things are not easy to sell, after all, they are things to eat, you say that someone should dare to eat them, and there is no such problem with wine, after all, there was wine before, and he just improved the quality.

Early the next morning, sure enough, Xia Ziqing was still waiting for him in the living room of Fang Xiaoyu's courtyard, Fang Xiaoyu smiled secretly, this Xia Ziqing was about to become his personal adjutant. Xia Ziqing didn't know what Fang Xiaoyu was thinking, he just stepped forward and said, "Let's go to the General Staff today, Marshal Xia has already passed, have you written your plan?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and raised the thick book in his hand and said, "Of course it's written." ”

After another torture of the carriage, fortunately, the staff headquarters was in the city, not as far as the military workshop. After getting out of the car, Fang Xiaoyu was led in by Xia Ziqing. The General Staff was a large area and was divided into a number of halls, many of which were used for clerks' offices. Xia Ziqing directly introduced Fang Xiaoyu into the largest hall in the middle, and as soon as he entered the door, Fang Xiaoyu saw that many officers were busy in twos and threes, but depending on the situation, many people were busy. Marshal Xia Jun sat behind a large desk at the back of the room, looking at a document. There is also a large desk on the left and right, where the second marshal's grandfather Fang Rui and the third marshal Xiahou Feng sit respectively.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled and nodded to the eldest grandfather who looked up, said hello, and then walked straight to Marshal Xia Jun's desk and reported loudly: "Report, Fang Xiaoyu came to report." As soon as Fang Xiaoyu's voice fell, he found that the officers in the entire room were casting strange glances at him, and the eldest grandfather Fang Rui and the third marshal Xiahou Feng raised their heads and looked at him with a smile on their faces. This is Marshal Xia Jun put down the document and raised his head and said, "Xiao Yu is here, has your plan been written?" "It's already written." Fang Xiaoyu hurriedly took out the training plan that he had been fighting for several hours.

Marshal Xia Jun took the thick dozen and slowly flipped through it. Fang Xiaoyu didn't dare to move, he still stood straight in front of the table, enduring the strange stares cast by those officers from time to time, which made him uncomfortable. Marshal Xia Jun watched intently for half an hour, and then slapped the table and said, "Okay, it's very well written." The room full of people once again focused their eyes, wondering how Marshal Lu Dao could be so out of shape today.

Marshal Xia Jun raised his head, looked at Fang Xiaoyu and said: "Your training plan is very good, I am very satisfied, but I think that you also have such a talent for new tactical thinking, and even the benefits and reasons for using these tactics are written, as well as the disadvantages of the old tactics after equipping the troops with rear-loading guns, which can be used as our tactical tutorial in the future." ”

Hearing Marshal Xia Jun's praise, the officers in the room all grew their mouths in surprise. Marshal Xia Jun is known for his strictness, he never praises people easily, but he didn't expect that today he praised a small second lieutenant staff officer so much, it was really surprising, even the two marshals Fang Rui and Xiahou Feng couldn't help but be attracted over. When they took a cursory look at Fang Xiaoyu's training plan, they couldn't help but applaud again and again.

Fang Xiaoyu smiled secretly in his heart, can it be bad, this is the experience of later generations, and it has also been modified by Xiaofeng. Once the Lanfang Empire adopts these tactics, it will at least take many fewer detours than those countries in the Western Continent who have just come into contact with guns and are still in the exploration stage of various tactics.
