Chapter 1031: It's just a matter of funding
The more I listened, the bigger Zhang Qifan's head became, it turned out that the commander needed to consider so many aspects? Who is this commander? This is clearly a nanny.
Human beings are really troublesome creatures, he used to rule billions of undead creatures, how can there be so many troublesome things. Usually when there is nothing to do, I go to sleep, who needs any benefits, marriage, entertainment and the like.
However, as a leader, you also have rights and obligations. These benefits and problems should have been fought for by his superiors, and the leaders who could not bring reasonable benefits to their subordinates were definitely not good leaders.
Once led a world realm, Zhang Qifan knew very well what he should do, and after listening to Li Lixin's complaints, he said in an unquestionable tone: "I will solve the funds, and you will solve the problem." ”
The most important thing for a qualified leader is to know how to use people. The ability that Li Lixin has shown these days is more than enough to win or lose the position of adjutant, and it is most appropriate to leave these tedious things to her.
And these problems, in fact, have only one reason - no money. The problem of money is solved, and all problems are solved.
"What?" Li Lixin was stunned for a moment, thinking that she had misheard, and subconsciously asked.
"I'll solve the expenses, you will solve the problem." Zhang Qifan glared at her dissatisfied, and repeated his words again, he didn't even remember the words of the chief, such an adjutant was very unqualified, and he thought she was very good just now.
Li Lixin was stunned, although she heard Zhang Qifan's words clearly, she still couldn't believe it. Originally, she said such a big deal in one breath, mainly because she had been holding it in her heart for too long, and she finally met a strong boss and could talk about it, but she didn't think that Zhang Qifan could solve these problems.
All these problems are actually caused by the decline of the ground commandos, which is the general trend and irreversible. Because of the emergence of new forms of warfare, human physical fitness is becoming less and less important, but more attention is paid to brain wave intensity, intelligence level, and academic experience.
These are the weak forces of the ground commandos, who are no longer adapted to the new form of warfare and are destined to be eliminated.
For a class that is about to be phased out, the corresponding resource tilt is inevitable. The funds of the military are not blown by the wind, of course, they must be used in more important places, otherwise it will be a waste of taxpayers' money, and the people of the whole federation will not agree.
There are no application occasions, there is no opportunity to go out of the mission, and more and more attention is given, which eventually leads to the gradual marginalization of the ground commandos, and various welfare allowances are reduced again and again.
In the final analysis, it is a problem of funding, and if the problem of funding is solved, these problems are not a problem.
But Zhang Qifan is just a battalion commander, what ability does he have to solve the problem of funding? Could it be that his backstage is very hard and can pull funds from his superiors? Or is he the crown prince of a certain consortium? Too much money to afford an army?
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Li Lixin's mind.
Li Lixin, who was thinking wildly, was soon awakened by Zhang Qifan's voice: "What are the sources of funds for the ground commandos?" ”
'Porphy......ry' Li Lixin's heart suddenly sped up a few beats: Asking so deeply, isn't the chief comforting me? But is it really sure to solve the problem of funding?
After thinking about it for a while, Li Lixin said: "Most of the main sources of funding for the ground commandos are the budget of the military department. However, as the position of the commandos became more and more embarrassing, the budget was reduced year by year. ”
"Secondly, the military property of the commando's major star fields, such as warehouses, real estate in the recruitment office of the liaison office, military camp dormitories, etc., can be rented out to obtain a part of the funds."
"The second thing is to take on private work."
"Pick up private work?" Zhang Qifan involuntarily interrupted Li Lixin's words, how can the ground commandos take private work? What private jobs can they do?
Li Lixin explained: "Bodyguards, personal guards. They are big guys, they don't do anything, and they can bluff a lot of people when they go there, and even if they can't frighten people, they can block bullets. It's the favorite meat shield of the rich who are afraid of death. ”
"There are a lot of rich people in the various star fields who travel to the earth every year, especially the rich can bring their own bodyguards, and generally the rich can only be hired temporarily, our soldiers are very popular, but the most popular is the big guy Marcus."
Marcus's muscular cow-like body shape is indeed the best candidate for a meat shield, and if he is replaced by Zhang Qifan, even if it is free, no one will invite him. But the dignified ground commando team was reduced to being a bodyguard to subsidize it, and the situation is really sad.
If the problem of funding is solved, these problems are not a problem, but with the current situation of the Iron and Blood Battalion, what is the way to win more funds within the scope of legality?
……
The problem of funding is not a problem that can be solved for a while, it can only be put aside for the time being, and for the next period of time, Zhang Qifan trains, challenges, learns, and strives to absorb all the knowledge of human beings every day.
Combat shooting is a very easy skill for Zhang Qifan to master, and after challenging the training and breaking the discipline, he did not come into contact with these sports again, but concentrated on some more difficult to master sports, such as driving assault boats and armor.
The piloting of an assault boat is not much easier than that of an Earth-era fighter, and there are many details, airborne, evasion, assault, sabotage, mobile hovering, and so on. The requirements for the driver's skills are very high.
Basically, soldiers who can drive assault boats can directly join civil aviation companies and fly civilian spaceships after retiring.
Armor is the most basic combat equipment of the ground commando, and it is something that every member needs to learn.
From the beginning of the individual exoskeleton armor, to the present, the types and functions of armor are becoming more and more extensive, and the control and operation methods are becoming more and more diverse. There are remotely controlled ones, such as remotely controlled armored units. Entities are controlled, such as ground commandos.
Remote control has the advantages of remote control, for example, because the driver and the armor are separated, the armor can not consider the driver's overload and protection problems, plus there is no cockpit, the same body type can be loaded with more ammunition and weapons, or more energy blocks.
But in the same way, the remote control also has a congenital defect, which is easy to be interfered with or block out the signal. In this way, the remote-controlled armor will directly turn into a pile of scrap metal. Therefore, until the absolute right to control information is obtained, the remote-controlled units will not be able to be put into use.
In terms of controlling information, the defending side has an advantage over the assault side. Because the defender is at ease, there is a fixed defense, and a more powerful jammer can be placed.
But the attackers can't, they can't move high-power jammers to the front line, and it is difficult to suppress the enemy's information interference.
Ground commandos have no such concerns, and even if the information is jammed, they can still drive the armor.
This may also be the main reason why the ground commandos remain in strength, and the military needs to have a force at hand that can cope with the situation in the fight without information rights.
But humanity has been at peace for too long, and it has not been encountered in such extreme battles for many years, and the ground commandos are gradually forgotten by their superiors in this state of 'need' and 'temporarily unusable'.
If this continues, it may really come to a certain day when they need to use it, and they will no longer have combat effectiveness.
