Chapter 20 Military Construction

To be honest, Yang Guo's opinion is not right. This is like many historical travel novels, where the protagonist returns to ancient times and thinks that by following modern army training methods, he can immediately build an invincible army that dominates the world and is invincible.

In the eyes of these protagonists, the army of the ancients is like a chicken and a dog, a piece of tofu, which will break when touched, and the weak slag will fall.

This is not the case, and it is necessary to study the problem in depth from many aspects, rather than staying on the surface.

Bai Ye was able to succeed because of years of preparation, with Huang Rong helping to sell things and prepare materials, Bai Ye personally taught a group of people modern knowledge, experimented together, and trained together. However, even so, the team that Bai Ye has pulled up in the past ten years is less than 10,000 people, and there are only a few hundred people who actually uphold the essence of growing up with him.

When it comes to the differences between ancient and modern armies, there are many factors. Among them, the most decisive is the weapons used in war.

We all know that for a long time, the ancient army was in the era of cold weapons, and the specific reference of cold weapons was bows, arrows, spears, swords, guns, halberds, and so on.

Therefore, in ancient warfare, long-range output generally relied on bows and arrows, and more often it was white-knuckle combat, commonly known as hand-to-hand combat. In such an era, everyone is meat to meat, white knives go in, red knives come out. They don't need to learn much, they just need to know how to stab the spear and knife in their hands into the body of the enemy. Even, some sophisticated soldiers don't need much physical strength, just rely on feeling experience to kill people.

Therefore, in ancient times, military training was to let a group of illiterate people practice vigorously with weapons and exercise their skillful killing skills. Regardless of other factors, when two ancient armies of equal numbers meet, it is bound to be the victory of the side that has practiced the art of killing.

And this killing technique is not a profound fighting technique, what powerful martial arts, it is just the spear assassination that Yang Guo saw in the Xiangyang army day after day, year after year. It's not that Guo Jing is not smart, but everyone is like this in this era.

Compared with the modern army, the composition of modern military forces is not ambitious, and it can be formed with sufficient material and financial resources. The building of the modern armed forces involves many aspects and is a huge whole, from the logistics system, army training, to war command, and it is not as simple as empty talk.

It didn't take long for many protagonists in ancient times to pull out a large number of invincible armies across the world, which is not real.

First of all, there is the factor of weapons. As we all know, modern armies use hot weapons, that is, guns as we know them.

Guns and bullets are all made of metal, and without a suitable industrial system, it is impossible to produce weapons to equip the army on a large scale with only a few ancient craftsmen with ingenuity and skill. Unless you unify the world, get all the craftsmen in the world together, and open a big workshop. Even so, in that era when illiteracy was everywhere and craftsmanship relied on exploration, the pass rate of the things produced was definitely not high.

If you want to pull up a small number of arms, you can do it, but it is impossible to do it on a large scale. It is necessary and inevitable to develop science and technology and establish an industrial base. The process of establishing an industrial system is another arduous road.

Back then, the conditions were so difficult, and that team also had its own arsenal, although the weapons produced in it were not of high quality, but it was impossible to really do what the lyrics said, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy made them for us". If that were the case, I'm afraid that the team would have been wiped out long ago, and there would have been no later liberation of the country.

Bai Ye is now at the beginning of his life, but he has been sharpening his sword for ten years and has a little industrial base, and it is only that, and his bases are the most powerful backing.

Secondly, there is the personnel factor. Personnel can be divided into soldiers and commanders!

In ancient times, the army paid little attention to soldiers, and officers often ignored the feelings of soldiers and led the army by personal bravery and rank. These soldiers joined the army just to eat food, and in an era when illiteracy was everywhere, it was nonsense to talk to him about national righteousness and honor. You give me money and food, and I will die for you, which is the truest portrayal of the soldiers of this era.

As a result, on the battlefield, once the casualty rate exceeds a ceiling, the army will collapse and mutiny. Don't mention any loyalty, what sacrifice for the country, in the face of life and death, it doesn't matter. Throughout history, these soldiers have done a good job, think about the end of the Song Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty, are there still fewer scholars who led the way for the Mengyuan and the Manchu Qing?

At the beginning of the establishment of the army in Baiye, it was modeled after the steely team in memory, and each team set up counselors, who did not participate in military logistics, but only took care of the army's ideological education. White Night wants to make these soldiers literate, get them out of illiteracy, and finally make them understand what they are fighting for, and there is no way back in the rear.

Due to the difference in weapons and different ways of warfare, in ancient wars, sometimes you can see the scene of the commander personally wearing himself into battle and rushing to kill the Quartet. In modern times, this is very invisible, the commander is the head of the army, the center of the order, and their job is to analyze the collected intelligence, and then make military plans and commands, rather than taking the lead and charging into battle.

In the teachings of the White Night, this group of officers adhered to this idea. They need to know the army they are in, they need to know the weapons, they need to know the enemy, they need to know the battlefield. Bai Ye took the special operations team to participate in the execution of the plan, and that was because there was no suitable candidate, and he was the only one.

In such ancient times, it was not easy to directly find a commander who knew about guns and other weapons and the modern army, and not everyone was Li Yunlong. What's more, Li Yunlong, who claims to be a big boss and an illiterate person, can follow those well-known commanders, climb over snow-capped mountains, and walk through grasslands, and I am afraid that he has long been familiar with how to build an army and how to form weapons of various arms. Moreover, it is worth noting that Li Yunlong has not been a top commander from beginning to end, commanding a division or an army may be acceptable, but he can only participate in the real battle of hundreds of thousands of people, but he cannot command it. This is also the reason why he later studied seriously in the military academy, because he found his own shortcomings.

Li Yunlong is loved by us, and we like him more because of his straightforward personality and his wit and humor.

Under ancient conditions, it was more difficult to find a qualified modern or modern army commander than to create a group of modern soldiers. It took Bai Ye a whole decade, feeling the stones to cross the river, from the initial escort of the caravan to the extermination of the mountain bandits, step by step, before there are now dozens of initial officer systems.

Then there are logistical factors. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first, from ancient times to the present, it is a wise saying.

Logistics is the greatest guarantee for a modern army, and if you ask a modern person what he is fighting in a war, he will tell you 90 percent that he is fighting a country's comprehensive strength. This comprehensive strength includes the logistics of the army!

Modern military training mainly allows soldiers to understand that obedience to orders is their duty, exercises physical fitness, and unites soldiers through a variety of contents. This requires meticulous logistics!

Why did the army mutiny in ancient times? Why can a general think of rebellion? It is because of logistical problems, either the generals withhold the soldiers' salaries, or the generals directly control the supply of money and food, so that the soldiers only know that there are generals, but not emperors.

There are four systems in the army system built by White Night, the logistics system, the officer system, the counselor system, and the military supervision system. Only by dividing up the work of the four systems and working together can the army continue to operate.

Of course, no system is perfect, and with the passage of time, all kinds of shortcomings and deficiencies will slowly be filled in little by little.

Such a system of division of labor, mutual restraint, and mutual cooperation is inconceivable in this era. Although there was a division of labor in the army in this era, almost as long as there was a difference of one rank, the higher officials could monopolize power.

To sum up, the modern army is indeed superior to the ancient army, but this is multifaceted, and if we want to build a modern or modern regular army in ancient times, it is not an overnight achievement, but it will take a lot of time, quietly dormant, and secretly develop. Otherwise, how can it be so easy to pull up an invincible army in a few months and a few years, unless you are the emperor and support it with the power of the world. However, in this way, a relationship like that of the Manchu Qing Beiyang will be born.

As an engineering dog who graduated from science, Bai Ye said that there is still a long, long way to go in the plan to transform the world.
