Sun Tzu's Art of War said, "If it is used in battle, it will be victorious, if it is long, it will be blunt, if it is attacked, it will be bent, and if it is violent for a long time, the country will not be enough." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The soldiers are blunt and frustrated, and the princes take advantage of their disadvantages, although there are wise men, they can't be good at it. Those who have been serving for a long time and the country are not there. ", "Therefore, the soldier is expensive, not long. ”

Napoleon said: "There are three elements of war, the first is money, the second is money, and the third is money." ”

There is also a saying: "When the cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold." ”

These wise sayings all illustrate one thing, logistics is extremely important for war. Logistics here refers not only to money, but also to a series of materials such as food, cloth, weapons, etc., and logistics is the lifeblood of war.

On the other hand, people are the most important material basis for conducting war. This is most obvious: To fight a war, it is necessary to kill people, and in order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, it is necessary to replenish a large number of living forces, and a large number of people can form a numerical superiority and make it easier to achieve victory.

Taking World War II as an example, at the end of the war, Germany still had a certain amount of material reserves, but there were very few young and middle-aged soldiers of appropriate age, and the reserve force was completely depleted.

On the other hand, the Soviet Union, due to its larger population than Germany, lost a large number of well-trained troops at the beginning of the war, but after the sufficient reserve population transfused blood for the Soviet army, it was able to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness and finally survived the most difficult days. It can be said that whether it is the bloody battle of Leningrad, the persistence of the defense of Moscow, or the turning point of the Battle of Stalingrad, or even the entire Soviet-German war, it is the victory of the Soviet army with a sea of men.

This example amply illustrates that population is the cornerstone of victory in wars.

Another point is the importance of technology in warfare. From spears to rifles to machine guns, arrows to artillery to missiles, horses to tanks to airplanes, little advances in war technology can multiply the number of casualties. And the side with superior technology undoubtedly occupies a considerable initiative.

In the Battle of Nagashino, the 3,000 "Takeda Akabei" left behind by the Kai Tiger were arrogant, and when they charged the enemy, who would have thought that muskets would play a decisive role in a battle?

The Polish hussars achieved extremely brilliant victories in battles with the Grand Duchy of Moscow, the Swedes, the Tatars and the Turks, and yet who would have thought that these big guys would become the future "kings of land warfare" when they charged at the tanks?

The German-built battleship Bismarck in World War II was 250.5m long, 36m wide, and had a full load displacement of 50,900 tons.

In this magical world, industry is much behind the earth, and Al understands that "technology" here corresponds to magic. And the direction of the development of this world should be the fusion of magic and technology, which is why El ventured into elemental research.

He firmly believes that his research represents the future direction of humanity. Abandoned by faith or abandoned by the times? Al's choice was unhesitating.

The last point is the so-called talent. The four great military men of the West: Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar and Napoleon, the ten philosophers of Wumiao in ancient China, those famous generals of World War I and World War II, and the ten founding marshals of China...... These names shine brightly in the long history of human beings on Earth.

Not only on the earth, but also in this world, people also worship those shining generals, the "hero king" Silori Relot, the current Falcon family patriarch, the northern lord Morrell Reinhardt, etc., these unborn famous generals also left a lot of heart-wrenching, magnificent classic battles, so that future generations will have endless memories.

As the saying goes, "the soldiers will be brave", and a good general is very important to the troops. And not only are they excellent generals, Kalashnikov who designed the AK47 rifle, Xiao He who "guards the country, appeases the people, and constantly supplies military rations", and Zhang Liang who "strategizes and wins a decisive victory thousands of miles away", these are all outstanding talents. It is also an important guarantee of victory.

Logistics, population, magic, and talent, these are the "four elements" of war in this world that El analyzed about the history of war on Earth and what he saw and heard about his two rebirths. In order to combat the future scourge of the dark arts, Al used the "Four Elements" to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Westlands in his spare time, but the results were dismal.

The first point of logistics, when Mr. Felipe taught Al before, he once said, "The West Frontier lacks everything", not to mention the materials, the West Frontier is especially short of money, even if it is not possible to import materials from other realms. As far as logistics are concerned, the Westside is clearly not up to par.

The second point is the population, especially the shortage of population in the western territory, especially because of the continuous wars, the young and middle-aged population is even more shortage, and even the daily work in the western territory cannot be satisfied, let alone large-scale conscription. The population element is also clearly not qualified.

The third point of magic, because the western realm does not produce yuan stones, and the export of yuan stones given by the realm of holy radiance has always been strictly controlled, there are almost no mages in the western realm, which can be called a "mage desert", and even to find a teacher for El has to go to the realm of holy radiance to invite one to the western realm, of course, magic is not qualified.

Fourth, in terms of war talents, the Western Frontier can be said to be full of talents, and the battle-hardened Western Frontier Legion itself is like a melting pot, selecting those "real gold" who are not afraid of flames in the war. But as for other kinds of talents, the West Realm can be said to be quite lacking, and the talents can only be said to be barely qualified.

The more you analyze, the more desperate you become, and it will be difficult for the West Realm alone to withstand the future scourge of the dark arts. In the final analysis, it is the lack of the Western Realm's own heritage, it was originally developed by the people led by the Iron Thorn Family, and the environment is harsh, compared to the congenital deficiencies of other realms.

Al has always thought about whether he can unite with several other realms to fight the enemy, but unfortunately since crossing into this world, Al has never stepped out of the Western Realm, and the so-called "United United Front" is just a mirror and a castle in the air, just think about it.

However, Snow Plains and his party still give Al a little hope, and Al hopes to use Snow Fields' specialties to build a powerful Western Territory Trading House and build a business empire in all of Saint Delands to solve the problem of logistics shortage. Despite the difficulties of this idea, Al still wanted to give it a try, and he was unwilling to give up if there was a chance.

Only when the mountains and rivers are exhausted can a miracle come. If you can't even take the last step, it's just an excuse and excuse for being lazy.

The so-called miracle is the only direction found after trying countless possibilities, whether it is a chance encounter of luck or a calculation of wisdom, because it is a miracle, there is the value of hard work and perseverance.
