【Chapter 280】Conjecture
【Chapter 280】Guess that for a person who is loyal to his camp and country, watching himself see himself is like a secret of life
Speaking "by yourself", there is simply no way to stop it. I'm afraid this feeling is worse than death, so about this kind of weapon specifically aimed at the unity religion, especially the blood seal, the relevant information is not known at all except for Feng Jitong, the governor of Ganymede, this is not only a deterrent to the unity of the religion, but also a kind of protection for all the people on Ganymede, it is no exaggeration to say that with the inertia and greed of the unity religion, as well as the hatred of the interstellar federation against the Xia country, Ganymede, a colonial base that clearly states that it wants to rebuild the glory of the Xia country, if there is no protection and restriction of this weapon, It is impossible to be uneventful today, and Ganymede has long since become a breeding ranch for the Unity Cult or the Blood Seal.
And this is not the case, both in Unity and in its aftermath
The "Divine Seal", as well as the Ganymede side, are very restrained in this matter, if it weren't for the fact that there were a large number of people in the Ganymede junta who were mind-controlled by the Unity Sect in some way
"Traitor", the Ganymede junta will not really realize the horror and shamelessness of the Unity Sect, as for Feng Jitong's Governor Feng Jitong's views and measures to deal with this, it is unknown, at least at this time, he did not use any special means and weapons, but showed quite worry in front of Du Jin, faintly a little bit of erosion of the Unity Sect
The helplessness and eagerness of "being at a loss", whether these are true, or whether this Feng Ji and the governor are disguised, is unknown.
Although Du Jin didn't know these inside stories and related information, he could basically determine for himself now that the unity sect had a considerable degree of penetration in his destination at this time, that is, the key protective residential area where the Second Airborne Corps was stationed, and even the unity sect might want to use this place to control the Ganymede military port, as long as the military port was mastered, all the fleets and airborne troops of Ganymede would be greatly restricted, At this time, even if the Unity Cult carried out a destructive act or even a riot in the ground colonies, Europa would not be able to use the orbital strike and transportation capabilities to quickly support, and the garrison troops stationed on the ground and the security armed forces responsible for maintaining social stability may not be able to sustain it alone.
The tasks of the Army and the deployment of combat training grounds and home support systems as deployment platforms are threatened by unseen adversaries.
This is not a prediction of what the army will face in the future - this is the reality of the world facing the army now. Army deployments must be seen as power projection and power support platforms.
Deployment is the personnel, facilities, services, and operations that support the deployment of maintenance and logistics forces: soldiers, tools, equipment, and ammunition with superior superiority.
Deployment protects all of these army components and ensures the protection of troops during their presence and movement.
From the perspective of this army empowerment, the future delivery of troops, especially the delivery mechanism of mobile troops, is no longer a conventional cantonment can be replaced, because a country can still achieve the purpose of transportation through a variety of land or low-altitude flight equipment, but if it is between several countries or even the entire planet, it is difficult to quickly arrive at the combat site in the first time by land, sea or conventional air, in actual combat, let alone a delay of more than ten minutes or hours, even if it is only a few minutes. will make the precious fighter disappear and reverse the outcome of the entire campaign.
Therefore, it is still necessary to use rail transportation as an important mode of transportation for troops, and the troops, in the literal sense, are combat units that can be deployed in the places where they are needed, so only combat units that can quickly arrive at the places where they need to be operated can have real value and can really be used as combat effectiveness and mobile troops, otherwise it will only be a combat force that relies on numbers and scale to intimidate the enemy, but in fact has no threatening ability
"Scarecrow". In the superluminal leap interstellar era, there should be a high probability that the country will take the administrative planet as a unit, and the planet that does not do it will soon be annexed by colonies, and the army of this era should become a vassal of the outer space forces, emphasizing the function of airborne operations and the functions of cooperating with the amphibious forces inside and outside the orbit, and the original air force and navy are estimated to be integrated, that is, the chain of units in the orbit - amphibious combat units - outer space units, which generally has a relatively low status and is used for occupation after fully owning the right to control the orbit
"Law and order warfare" or asymmetrical rear operations such as raids, infiltrations, and sneak attacks. Moreover, it needs to be very clear that war is a means to an end through violence rather than a pursuit, and that war is a continuation of political games, struggles, and conflicts.
Instead of playing game pK, there are many aspects to consider, unlike the game where you can win by who has more attack, high blood and thick defense.
First of all, wars, many times are for occupation, control, plunder, and if you bomb indiscriminately, it will be meaningless to blow up the precious wealth and the livable environment.
It can be said that it is like catching mice in a china shop. This is where the Army needs to do it. There is also the need for normal operation and governance in peacetime, and there are also strong institutions on the ground to maintain stability, fight crime and fight disasters, and you can't rely on Star Destroyer guns to fight robbers.
In addition, if the defender prepares deep reinforced bunkers, underground cities, etc., it is difficult to effectively damage from space bombardment, and it is still necessary to go to the army to do it, and strong bunkers cannot be solved by bombing alone.
In the interstellar era, the dense atmosphere and high escape velocity and gravity wells of terrestrial planets are not difficult to overcome, otherwise they cannot become real interstellar civilizations............ Of course, everyone's perspective on this kind of war is different, and the understanding is also different, some people may say that I will bet on all the belongings to kill the past, but I don't know that what can make you bankrupt is itself to achieve the goal, it is to limit your movements, affect your other forces, and leave weak loopholes to play a role in clamping, so that you can't use a few ships at your fingertips without paying a heavy price.
And you can't assume that the defender doesn't have a fleet, a relatively weak fleet can rely on a solid integrated defense system to inflict heavy damage on the attacker, making the pigs more than they lose.
Moreover, if you bet on the entire fleet to capture the next planet and the self-damage is too serious, it may strategically shake the foundation of the country, after all, it is likely that there are other threats waiting for you to be weakened and stabbed at you, just like the bacteria and viruses that were originally safe with you after the immune system has a problem can raid your body and make you seriously ill.
As long as you win the game, even if you kill 1000 enemies and lose 5000, you can accept it, in reality, you folded half of your fleet in order to conquer a planet, waiting to be shot by a military court, and it took a generation of painstaking soldiers to be defeated by you and then the rest of the place is empty, and you don't play the army, so you can't get oil and water, all the smashed, and the control is unstable - although the wealth, infrastructure, and environment on the surface and in space are blown up by your fleet at a terrible price.
However, in the underground bunker that you can't blow up, it retains the strength of resistance, and it can attack you when you are unprepared, so that you can't really control it, and if you are not killed in this case, the people of the whole country will not agree.
So the conclusion is very clear, the interstellar era will not abandon the army in the era of planetary civilization, in fact, even space civilization also needs the army, and strategic places, high-value planets are not easy to occupy, unless there is an overwhelming military or technological superiority, but since it is an overwhelming superiority, there is no need to discuss many things.
Just like if you let mechanized infantry fight primitive tribes armed with spears and bows and arrows, you don't have to pay attention to any complex confrontation tactics.
Even if it is really because of the big difference in strength, it is more suitable to dispatch the army. With the support of space firepower, drones, combat robots, exoskeletons, armor, infantry, infantry fighting vehicles, etc. forcibly landed and cleared, causing much less damage to resources and the environment, and bringing great benefits.
For example, if a criminal gang with AKs and grenades were to make trouble in the neighborhood, it would obviously be enough to dispatch infantry fighting vehicles and five pairs of load wheels and drones, rather than blasting an easterly salvo of thermobaric warheads into a no-man's land.
Therefore, for all these reasons, the deployment of the army on the part of Europa is mainly based on space orbit launching, and most of the combat units and armored units are not on the ground colonies, but on the spaceports, and there are some rapid mobile units that are stationed on the fleet to facilitate the operation of emergency areas at any time.
The benefits of such a troop delivery method are naturally very obvious, high efficiency, high precision, and high standards, no matter where there is an armed conflict on the colonized planet with a high threat degree, a large number of suppressive forces and armed units will quickly arrive at the designated location, counting the fleet ground attack and control before the orbital landing, the efficiency and time of the first support vanguard of the military port can be reduced to ten to ten seconds, and the follow-up support forces can also be deployed within three minutes.
Of course, this efficiency assumes that the fleet gains absolute control of the orbit and that there will be no delays in the entire launch, but if the Unity Cult takes control of this key protected area, what they will do next is not the cliché, such as threatening the families and friends of these personnel in the army, the fleet, and the Ganymede military government, so that they will not dare to deploy combat troops to rid them of the Unity beasts that are attacking the ground colonies.
As I have explained before, the horror of the Unity Sect is not only the transformation ability of the Blood Mark Terror, but also the way of its erosion and infection is by no means single, and the followers of the Unity Sect can use the Blood Mark or those
The ability of the "holy relics" to affect or even indirectly infect other people at a great distance through blood ties, in other words, as long as they control a father, they will reverse their children, including their parents, this unbelievable ability and way of infection is absolutely chilling.
Therefore, the main point of Du Jin's concern is that the unity sect uses these protected important personnel and their families to give high-ranking officers and main combat forces of the Ganymede junta and fleet to the air
"Contagion", although Li Mengyan's previous understanding, this way of erosion through blood ties has a lot of restrictions and consumption, and there is no way to carry out large-scale erosion at the same time, but in actual operations, the reason for failure does not necessarily lie in the combat effectiveness of the entire army, for the officers and commanders in some links, they are the most core and even decisive parts of the entire gear, if the top boss and commander of a unit are all taught to erode by one, Then, even if the force does not lose its combat effectiveness, it is unable to get to where it is needed due to the lack of command and operational intelligence, which will tip the balance of war in favor of the side that cannot predict the consequences.
Thinking of this, Du Jin felt that his conjecture was becoming more and more likely to come true, so he said to Zhang Jin with a somewhat solemn face: "Commander Zhang, I got some information from the previous confrontation of the attackers of the Unity Sect, which roughly explains the erosion plan that the Unity Sect wants to start in the residential area, although I can't be 100% sure whether this is a conspiracy that is about to start or a premeditated plan that is being planned, and I don't know the actual combat capability of the Second Airborne Corps, in fact, Judging from the progress of their response to the troops now, I don't think they can nip the premeditated plan of the Unity Sect in the bud, so I want to let Zheng Feng come back as soon as possible, and then we will take the lead in setting off towards the residential area, if we get to the fastest situation, we can at least make a modest contribution, otherwise it will be too late. Zhang Jin showed a slightly embarrassed look when he heard this, of course, he did not doubt Du Jin's judgment, when he had just arrived at the landing site, Du Jin thought that there was a lot of risk in this area garrisoned by the Second Airborne Corps, but Zhang Jin only thought that Du Jin was just worried too much, but considering Du Jin's position and Feng Ji's explanation to the governor, he set off towards the residential area in advance according to Du Jin's wishes, instead of waiting for the troops to come and then set off together, sure enough, there was an attack by the unity sect at the first outpost.
And Zhang Jin was also forced to fall into a communication interruption for nearly an hour, Du Jin, as an expert in dealing with the strange methods of the Unity Sect, also fell into a state of self-care because of some unknown attack, the special soldier named Zheng Feng who was specially sent by Commander You Chengwang to accompany him, also did not come back, and the hovercar was also attacked, in order to prevent the attackers of the Unity Sect hiding in the shadows from attacking again, he did not dare to drive rashly, and the situation at that time made Zhang Jin's heart nervous to an extreme, It seems that he will be dragged out of the car by those bloodthirsty wolf-like soldiers of the Unity Sect in the next moment, not that Zhang Jin is afraid of fighting with those cultists of the Unity Sect, but after all, Zhang Jin has left the front line to fight and stayed at the command post for a long time, and his combat skills will inevitably decline a little, after all, which fleet commander drove the landing craft to the front line to fight?
In that case, would the fleet under his command be forced to charge with him. There is an old saying in Xia Guo
"The dictatorship will be in full swing. In the face of difficulties, waving the sword, this will be a general, a sword, not a general. In terms of connotation, this directly clarifies the duties of the commander, that is, giving orders, making decisions in danger, and directing the combat operations of the army, and the matter of directly picking up weapons and fighting the enemy is not the business of the general, but the thing that the soldier should do.
with a long history
Compared with the word "command",
The word "control" appeared relatively late. Actually, in a scientific sense
"Control" originated from Wiener's cybernetics, and since Wiener's "Cybernetics" came out, the ideas and methods of cybernetics began to permeate almost all fields of natural and social sciences, and the military naturally became
The preferred position of "cybernetics".
"Control" is interpreted as controlling, dominating, mastering, and not exceeding the scope. For a longer period of time, it is understood as control over the enemy's side and control over the manipulation of weapons.
The division of labor on the battlefield is the command of people and the control of machines, which leads to the battlefield
"Command" with
The "control" function takes into account the needs of this view, and the foothold of this view is that human warfare is becoming more and more dependent on battlefield hardware facilities and technology.
On the other hand, due to the complexity of the war situation to such an extent that it is necessary to exercise centralized control over the battlefield, it is a result
"Control" with
"Command" must go hand in hand to take control of the battlefield. What's more, when Zhang Jin carried out combat missions from the beginning of the fleet, he was an artillery controller of a carrier-based combat gunboat, simply put, the modern air force, and he was naturally an expert in spacecraft operation or shipboard weapon operation, but in terms of close-quarters combat and firearms combat, he was not necessarily comparable to the combat capability of those front-line armies, and the command and control of joint operations included not only the control and regulation of various combat activities, but also the regulation and restraint of the exercise of functions and the relationship between power and responsibility of various actors.
Because the essence of war is uncertainty. Commanders do not have strict control over the actual engagement actions of subordinate commanders, especially in modern battlefields, where forces are scattered and even isolated combat units exist, and it is impossible to exercise true strict control over subordinates.
For the commander, the object of control is not limited to the weapon platform, in fact, control is more to embody guidance, constraints, norms and adjustments to the behavior of people or systems, exert some influence or correction, and is the expression of some hope and intention.
It can be said that the lower the level, then
"Command" with
At the tactical level, control is embodied in the manipulation of specific weapons and equipment, while command is more embodied in conception, prediction, judgment, and decision-making.
And in high-level war activities,
"Command" and
"Control" can not be completely divided, the higher the level, the greater the scale and complexity of the control object, the control is more embodied in distribution and decision-making, to put it mildly, the art industry has a specialization, interlaced like a mountain.
So at this time, let Zhang Jin a fleet commander go to hand-to-hand combat, even if the will and courage of his soldiers make Zhang Jin not afraid, but the victory rate can definitely only be said to be casual, of course, in addition to him and Du Jin in the hovering car, there are naturally adjutants and accompanying security personnel, but the security personnel who usually act as his ceremonial guards, Zhang Jin is very clear about his combat effectiveness, and it is okay to deal with ordinary crew conflicts and small-scale unrest. It is precisely because of this that they will follow Zhang Jin's side.
Fortunately, the situation took a turn for the better when Du Jin woke up, according to Du Jin, the attack of the Unity Sect against him had been dismantled, and it could not constitute a threat for the time being, so the enemy that Zhang Jin was most worried about at this time did not have much of a threat, and because of all of the above, Zhang Jin now had no doubt about Du Jin's judgment on the Unity Sect, although Du Jin had just explained it in his words
"Not sure", but in Zhang Jin's view, this
"Uncertainty" can be completely ignored, and it is precisely because he realizes the seriousness of the situation that Zhang Jin is worried.
"If the news he got is true, Dr. Du, wouldn't the Second Airborne Corps be a poison cave now? The Unity Church has special means of eroding people's consciousness and thinking, if the entire Second Airborne Corps ........... No! It's impossible, there are so many people in the entire Airborne Corps, and the number of all the Oneness Sect on Ganymede is not known to be several times, how can it be controlled and transformed on a large scale, and I have contacted the commander and inspector of the Corps before leaving, and they don't seem to have any abnormalities, and the monthly mental and physical tests are within normal standards, and they should not be assimilated, but since those people of the Oneness Sect can touch the outpost and control the communication base station of the outpost, I am afraid that the form within the Second Airborne Corps will not be very stable. Well.......... But if there is really a problem, in terms of the number of people and the level of personnel involved, it may be a drop in the bucket for Dr. Du to deal with it alone, and the safest way should be to contact Commander You or Mr. Governor General first to seek reinforcements and assistance from the military government, but the consequences of the time difference caused by this ............ "Thinking of the impact and consequences of the two plans, Zhang Jin was a little dilemma, and the importance of the residential area did not need to be majority. It can be said that it is one of the keys to ensuring the stability of the military morale on the fleet side, but Du Jin's value at this time is also very high, after all, with the current rampant unity of the Unity Sect, some targeted control measures of Ganymede are inseparable from Du Jin's assistance and participation.
