Chapter 515 515 The night of the first day of the offensive
On the night of the Russian attack, Lin Youde stayed in the command center until late at night.
It's not that there really are so many things for him to deal with, after all, his wives are very capable, and most things can be handled very well without him - in fact, Lin Youde's most important job is to read the work reports submitted by his wives on a regular basis, and correct some inappropriate decisions made by his wives due to the limitations of the times or personal personality.
Lin Youde just felt that his wives were all working, and it didn't seem right for him to go to rest early, so he stayed in the office and looked at the map as if he was meditating on the new battle plan.
But in reality, he was wasting his time staying in the office. After meditating for a while, Lin Youde finally gave up pretending and began to comb the hair of Oh-chan, who had just come out of the shower and was still steaming.
Oh-chan sat on Lin Youde's lap, holding the rabbit doll, and letting Lin Youde fiddle with her beautiful hair, which was reminiscent of the color of the sea.
Lin Youde was braiding and playing with Oh Sauce, and Oh Sauce suddenly took out the piano plug from his small pocket and gave it to Lin Youde.
It seems that she wants to listen to music.
So Lin Youde took the harmonica and began to play the tune that Oh Chan usually likes.
Oh-chan looked happy, and began to shake her feet and move her hands holding the rabbit up and down, rubbing the rabbit's body.
Seeing Oh Sauce was happy, Lin Youde was also very happy, and immediately after the end of one song, he started to play another song.
Just then, the door opened, and Ysera walked into the office.
Ysera was wearing pajamas and holding a copy of "On War" in her arms, which reminded Lin Youde of the little girl who hit the target when Will Smith participated in the MIB test in the first part of the movie "Black Super SWAT Team".
"The little girl who wanders around the big dark and secluded house so late with Clausewitz's book is standard for ghost stories." Lin Youde joked with his daughter.
"Hell, I've seen a lot of the world over there." Isabella said indifferently.
Lin Youde continued: "You read Clausewitz's war writings, but not mine, which makes my father very hurt. ”
"I've finished reading Dad's book, and I want to see what other people have to say about the experience of the war." As she spoke, Ysera pulled out a chair at Lin Youde's desk and sat down, then slapped the book on the table and turned over the page with the bookmark between them.
Lin Youde stared at his daughter's face, he knew that Ysera would not come over just to read a book with her father, but before Sera took the initiative to say what she wanted to do, Lin Youde decided to observe the situation first.
He didn't have to wait long.
"Dad," Isera pressed the book with one hand and looked up at Lin Youde, "I don't understand, why would Iron Ji be so hesitant to directly invest in Shenji to support the ground offensive operation?" I've been thinking about it for a long time, and I feel that I should not hesitate to throw the god into the attack. ”
"Well, it's complicated."
Ysera looked at the table clock in the corner, and then said to Lin Youde, "It's okay Dad, we still have plenty of time." ”
Lin Youde smiled, and the little guy became more and more adult-like when he spoke.
"Okay. Now that you've read the theory of war, you should know that Clausewitz believed that more than half of the art of war was the art used by the goddess. Of course, there is no such article in Clausewitz's theory in another time and space, but Lin Youde has been in this time and space for almost ten years, and he is also familiar with Clausewitz's theory in this time and space, "Moreover, he believes that the history of human warfare is the process of continuous evolution of Shenji's theory." Clausewitz came to this conclusion about the changing position of the goddess in warfare throughout the ages. However, he does not elaborate on the process by which he came to this conclusion, focusing on the use of Shinki in contemporary warfare. ”
Lin Youde paused and continued to say to his daughter: "And I, on the other hand, have studied all the examples of warfare since the beginning of human history.
"In the early days of human beings, when the predecessor of the magic guide weapon was not born, the combat power of the god was actually limited, and the god queen might be able to ride a thousand, or even defeat a single army, but the consumption of spiritual power was correspondingly huge. At that time, it often took many days to regain power after using it once, so in the art of war, when and on what occasion it was most important to use it.
"But with the advent of early magic weapons, this situation has changed, the emergence of a series of weapons such as the sword in the stone, the indestructible lake light, etc., so that the god can spend less mental power to do this kind of thing, that time is the dark period of the art of war, because the outcome of the war almost depends on the duel between the two gods, and the nation without the god queen is all reduced to the subordination of the people who have the god queen. A number of powerful empires have emerged in both the East and the West - and of course the East is more completely unified.
"But soon, people found a way to deal with the goddess."
"Maneuver, right?" Ysera snatched the white way.
"No, distance, to be exact. At that time, except for the god who was born to fly, no god could fly, and if she wanted to reach the battlefield, she had to be as tired as ordinary people, and her speed was no faster than ordinary people. As a result, the side that did not have a god or the weaker god began to widely adopt the tactics of avoiding the real and avoiding the imaginary, avoiding the enemy's god queen, striking at the enemy's weak places, burning farmland, destroying production, and using such methods to consume.
"The key to using the god at this time is where to place the god queen. Later, with the development of human productivity and technology, mankind discovered ways to weaken the weapons of the gods. As a result, a large number of bows and arrows equipped with special alchemical warheads were made, and various projectiles infused with chemicals for weapons were also used on the battlefield, and later even Shinki began to use these things against enemy Shinhime. So the strategists' emphasis on using the god has changed again......"
"I understand all of this." Isera interrupted Lin Youde's words, "But what does this have to do with my question? ”
"It doesn't matter." Lin Youde spread his hands, "Actually, what Dad wants to sue you is that Clausewitz is wrong. He believes that what guides the change in the form of war is the deepening of human understanding of how to use and balance the power of the gods, but in fact, it is the productive forces that guide the change in the form of human war. The development of the productive forces, specifically the development of related technologies, has led to the continuous evolution of human warfare, and the goddess is only a part of this evolution. Clausewitz's misunderstanding soon made his theory unsuitable for the new war.
"In modern warfare, the use of the god is strictly dependent on logistics. Clausewitz's opinion is that the most important thing in the battle between Shenji and Shenji is the trade-off of the mental power of both sides, which is not wrong, but it ignores the role of logistics, and the magic armor used by modern Shenji is a sophisticated war machine, which requires a lot of maintenance after each sortie, even if Shenji just flies it in the sky. Therefore, in modern warfare, the fight against logistics has become an unprecedentedly important task.
"The Americans' approach in Yingzhou is very typical, the American Shenji is inferior in numbers, and only has a limited entanglement with the Yingzhou Shenji, and the covering fleet uses naval guns to blow up the Yingzhou people's magic guide maintenance workshop, which makes the Yingzhou Shenji's magic guide armor maintenance status worse and worse, and the combat effectiveness is also affected."
Ysera thought with a frown, and after a few seconds she had a look of realization.
"Dad, what do you mean, now Iron Ji didn't simply dispatch Shenji, and she was also worried that her maintenance would not be able to keep up."
"Yes, even if Shenji's magic armor just comes out and flies in a circle, it will consume consumables such as magic lubricant, not to mention landing on the ground to attack regular troops. Iron Ji must have stockpiled quite a few consumables now, but she will also worry about any accidents with these stockpiled consumables, such as being destroyed by our Unit 141. Actually, we do intend to vote for 141 when we find an opportunity. In addition, our warplanes will bomb her Wizard's Workshop. Therefore, Iron Ji wants to see if her regular troops can capture Warsaw smoothly, and only when the progress of her regular forces lags far behind her expectations will she send out those Austro-Hungarian goddess girls in Russia. ”
Ysera nodded repeatedly.
"In addition," Lin Youde continued to say to his daughter, "the Iron Ji side is not worried about us entering Poland, because she has an advantage in the number of Shenji, and she can send Shenji to attack our ground forces at any time while containing our Shenji." Therefore, it doesn't make much sense to dispatch the Divine Queen before our Divine Queen enters Poland and prepares to meet it. Therefore, we have enough time to allow Shenji to enter Poland to prepare for war after the Russian army has begun to attack. ”
Ysera nodded repeatedly.
"I see, but I've heard that Iron Ji is a very irritable person, and it's hard to imagine that she would be so cautious."
"Iron Ji is just adventurous, and her judgment is actually not bad, and if you think she's an idiot just because she's adventurous, you're wrong. What we just said, Iron Ji is probably very clear. Lin Youde recalled the few contacts between himself and Iron Ji, "Moreover, she has a particularly stable staff member by her side, and Iron Ji trusts her very much, and she should do her best to persuade Iron Ji not to rashly invest in Shenji to attack the regular troops." ”
Lin Youde paused, and then added: "Of course, I can't rule out that something went wrong elsewhere so that Iron Ji couldn't let go of the power of the Divine Queen. On the battlefield, anything can happen. But one thing is for sure, the Iron Ji Shenji has the advantage in numbers, and she can invest in the Shenji whenever she wants, but we can only passively wait for her to make a move. At present, she occupies the initiative in this matter. ”
