Chapter 204: Seize the Day
A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.
For the soldiers of the empire, their lifelong dream is to become a general, although there is a saying that one general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, but even if they gamble on the probability of one in 10,000, they will even become a speck of dust in the sea of corpses and blood, they will fight to the end.
The word general is a kind of faith.
Whether it is a civil or military position, whether it is a fictitious title or real power, as long as you can achieve a general and obtain the supreme glory, it doesn't matter if you can.
Now there is an opportunity in front of them - the General Program.
This is a plan that has been planned by the military department for a long time to specifically select command geniuses, and this plan will be carried out in the form of a war competition, which will be divided into 100 team battles, city defense battles, siege battles, national battles, and general battles. It is mainly through the land of war, with their respective command talents, to fight the winner.
On the basis of voluntary registration, every cadet of the Central Military Academy can participate in it.
Of course, what attracts Vega the most is the rewards.
Through Tills's introduction, Vega did not expect that the reward for the first place in this plan would actually be the rank of brigadier general of the Seventh Army stationed in the eastern part of the empire and bordering the Holy Dynasty, and the position of commander of the independent heavy brigade.
Separate brigade, which means that this is a unit directly subordinate to the army group.
The heavy brigade means that this is a large-scale brigade equipped with aviation units with a total number of more than 10,000 people; although such a brigade is still a brigade-level unit, it is actually equivalent to a division, and even the allocation of resources within the group army is carried out according to the establishment of standard divisions.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a position of real power within real power.
As long as they can become the first in the general program, no matter what level of cadets they have, they can graduate early and go directly to the Seventh Army to serve as a brigade-level officer.
It's an opportunity, a chance to climb to the top.
In Vega's view, although it is not difficult to be promoted to a general with the blessing of honor, it takes too long, and it can even take more than 10 years under normal circumstances, which is still supported by sufficient military merits.
Plus 3 years in military school.
13 years is too long, and he wants to seize the day.
So this is a great opportunity for Vega to rise to the position of man in power, and he wants to take the first place in this plan and go straight to the rank of brigadier general this year.
"Excuse me, sir, when can I sign up for this program?"
Vega got up and asked in detail: "And what is the first stage of the hundred team battle, and what are the specific rules and operating procedures, I implore the chief to explain it clearly." ”
"Rest easy. ”
Tills coughed twice: "The registration time is due this Sunday, just sign up with me, the specific opening time of the plan is half a month later, as for what the hundred team battles are, you will know by then, according to the law, I can't disclose it." But I can tell you, take advantage of these 15 days to exercise in the land of war. ”
Deliberately glanced at Vega.
Tilce said with a smile: "If you want to get the first place, you have to overthrow all the officers, including the third-level cadets, and to be honest, I don't think you first-level cadets who haven't even learned tactical theory have any chance of getting rewards." ”
With that, Tilles left the classroom.
Through the information revealed by Tils, Vega could probably guess that this time the whole school would be involved in the plan, that is, to decide on the first command genius of the whole school, and then send it directly to the east.
That being the case, then it becomes obvious who the real opponent is.
After registering, Vega went directly to the training room, entered the land of war, and checked the rankings on the overall standings one by one, and the top 20 in the rankings were all Level 3 cadets who were about to graduate.
In Vega's view, if nothing else, the first place will undoubtedly fall to one of the top 20 in the rankings, because they have been in the land of war and have completed the transformation from tactical theory to actual combat.
And that's just the opponent on the surface.
Vega is even more afraid of some hidden command genius, these people have a sense of war that cannot be ignored either.
To be honest, Vega didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Compared with these people, he has neither a keen sense of war nor three years of uninterrupted command experience.
All he had was the experience of commanding large-scale operations in the battle for Kareni, which was more than enough for the cadets of the same period, but dwarfed by the senior cadets.
What should I do?
Since there are no shortcuts, you can only increase your command experience through constant training.
So in the next few days, Vega was almost immersed in the land of war, and in less than 10 days, his number of battles actually doubled.
This is unimaginable.
Don't look at a battle that lasts for more than 10 days in the land of war, it takes less than 10 minutes in the real world, but after a battle, mental exhaustion often takes days to recover.
You know, although the land of war is a fantasy, it is extremely real.
Even the experience of death and serious injuries is real, coupled with the tense nerves at any time, no one dares to immerse themselves in the land of war for hundreds of battles 24 hours a day.
Don't say a hundred.
Even five games a day can cause the cadets to suffer from mental illness, and some officers who overuse the war site are even forced to resign from their posts and retire early because of the fear of war.
Walk out of the training room.
Vega didn't even know how to get back to the dormitory, and in just over 1 day, hundreds of battles were fought to make him almost unable to tell whether this was a place of war or reality.
And Vega is playing random battles.
Due to the fact that he was matched with high-level students several times, Vega was defeated dozens of times, and the real entity would have the fear of death, and when he experienced death for the first time, he even fell seriously ill.
But it's not without gains.
After more than ten days of fighting, Vega already knows where his shortcomings are.
All he is familiar with and good at is urban warfare, in which he has a 100% victory rate, after all, even the general Tills will be tortured by him.
But apart from urban warfare, Vega found that he didn't know anything about other maps.
Road Battles, Swamp Battles, Wasteland Battles, Plains Battles, Ice Field Battles, Desert Battles, Air Battles, Naval Battles, ...... He didn't know any of the countless maps, and not every map was suitable for guerrilla tactics, so he began to be a little skilled.
"It's still too underestimating the world. ”
Vega sat at his desk with bloodshot eyes, flipping through the stacks of tactical books like hills.
The so-called indiscriminate punching to kill the master.
Although the officers of the large army did not have any tricks, they were able to rely on combat experience, little by little, to establish superiority, and finally win the war, which even Vega could not help.
Experience is a top-notch ploy in itself.
And he has too little experience.
He is not even familiar with the map, even if he can recall some clever schemes, it is only on paper, and if he really wants to apply it to actual combat, he will not be able to draw a tiger and become an anti-dog.
If there is enough time for real combat......
Vega closed the book in frustration, but it was too late.
Because time flies.
Tomorrow is the day when the first phase of the General's plan begins, and the first phase of the General's plan is-
Battle of the Hundred Regiments!
