Ticket!

For a while, the scene was a little cold, and the young elves couldn't help but look at each other. Freya sat upright, listening carefully to each word. Brunhill's pen barrel danced rapidly across the white paper. Tyr looked at Li Lin as he recorded, his refined eyebrows rising and falling for a moment, and then fixed the solemn folds. Thor's flushed face began to fade, and his taut face was painted with confusion.

"What is war?"

With a playful Yan sΓΉ, the second one seems simple, but in fact hides too much profound wisdom behind the problem to be raised.

The elves puffed up their chests, the question seemed easy, they thought they knew the answer, they knew what war was.

"War is fighting, killing more enemies faster and more effectively. ”

It was Schengen who answered, and judging by the rather excited looks on his and most of his compatriots, that was the standard answer they accepted.

"Killing, bloodshed, and destruction are the means and forms of war. Maybe there are bastards who like that kind of thing, and even think of it as the sole purpose of war. But what I want to say is - the means are the means, and they will never be the ends. Putting the cart before the horse is a very foolish thing to do. ”

The pause that left the listener to digest the shock, seeping into some kind of cold like steel or ice, the answer appeared for the first time in the form of words.

"War is nothing more than another continuation of politics. ”

Anyone who has had even a little exposure to military knowledge will be impressed by Clausewitz's famous statement about the nature of war in his writings. But Wilt's war culture was still in the obscurantist stage of groping for progress. The perception of war, both human and orc, is nothing more than a violent means of expanding the size of the country and resolving conflicts such as ethnicity and religious beliefs. They only saw the killing and destruction on the surface, ignoring the intricate intersection of interests that precipitated it.

At this moment, it is the turn of the elven rookies to receive a good education in war and withstand a comprehensive storm of thoughts.

"Guys, what are we fighting for?"

"To revive the kingdom!"

"In order that the betrayer may be punished!"

The untrained slogans are slightly less neat, but the answer itself does not worsen the problem, and the reflexive promptness is also worth affirming.

"Very good, very good. Needless to say, all of you here are many like-minded elves. Without the support of the people, the most basic element, it is impossible to build a nation, let alone rejuvenate it. Therefore, we cannot only rely on a brute force attitude to approach war. Otherwise, even if you can pull double or even triple the number of enemies to accompany you, it will be just a gorgeous stupid failure. ”

Standing up, he began to elaborate on the lines of war with unshakable perseverance in the absence of compromise and unshakability.

"Effective self-preservation and maximum destruction of the enemy - the basic principle of war is violent action around this general premise. Therefore, the minimum equipment and training required to ensure victory in the war are indispensable, but these require intelligence, resources, financial resources, and energy. In the days to come, Niforheim will fully enter the wartime system, and production and life will be adjusted with war preparation as the highest priority. All forces that can be used in combat must receive unconditional military education and training. This includes women and children - of course, the content and intensity of the training will be adjusted accordingly. ”

The conference room erupted in a wave of whispers, and although they didn't understand what the so-called [wartime system] was, Li Lin's understandable second half of his speech shocked everyone.

According to Li Lin's plan, the whole of Niflheim will undergo a radical and unambiguous transformation. Entire villages, valleys will be transformed into barracks and factories for the production of weapons, and a qiΔ“ will revolve around the war. ...,

No one doubted or complained about this, and Li Lin couldn't have made it clearer. The perils of this battle will far outweigh the previous petty fights to capture coolie invaders, and the previous battles against human raids are unparalleled.

This will be a battle related to the long-cherished wish of the elves to restore the country, and even directly linked to the luck of the revival and survival of the elves.

It must be won, and it can only be a complete victory with minimal losses. If the losses in the battle are slightly too large, the elven side will not be able to bear the cost, the meaning of victory will be greatly devalued, and the plan to revive the kingdom will also be affected and slowed down, adding more variables. As for failure...... You don't have to think about the worst of things, everyone knows it.

There is no retreat and no second option, only to do everything in your power to win.

The PK between the army of the Counts of Agen Toratonon and the elves of the Niforheim Valley seems to have provided a new mode of war for the entire Wilt at this moment - a new form of war mode that is intertwined with general warfare, unrestricted warfare, mine warfare, guerrilla raid warfare, ambush warfare, positional warfare, and blocking warfare, pushing the cruelty of war to a new height.

"First of all, a detailed survey of the terrain of the area around the Niflheim Valley was carried out. Roads, rivers, caves, bridges, mountains, hills, plains, jungles – all kinds of terrain should be clearly marked on the map. This is related to whether the battle situation can proceed smoothly, and it must be careful and careful. If needed, Nidhogg will carry a surveyor from the air and must start work by tomorrow at the latest. ”

The elves have mastered the knowledge of mapping at the high school level, and several of the best students, including Tyre, will use the corrected latitude and longitude method and rudimentary theodolite, hourglass, telescope, and other auxiliary tools to carry out the surveying and mapping work. However, Li Lin did not expect them to be able to produce high-precision military maps all at once. The main purpose is to practice surveying and mapping and familiarize himself with the predetermined battlefield, and he has to rely on himself for high-precision maps.

"Familiarize yourself with the environment beyond the valley, the routes on which the enemy may attack, the places where we and the enemy are camped, the paths of the enemy's supply convoys, the preset positions suitable for harassment and ambushes, the sections of roads where mines and traps are laid, the routes for retreat, measures to prevent the pursuit of the enemy, and places where the harassing forces are to be recognised...... This important information will also affect the outcome of the war, and it is related to the life and death of the soldiers. Be sure to do it with your heart. I will check and comment on this. ”

With honor and a sense of responsibility, the recruit rookies nodded vigorously.

Originally, I thought that inconspicuous knowledge materials can often exert unexpected huge energy in wartime, and cartography is a discipline that has been developing synchronously with the form of war, and the elves who have not yet fully understood and grasped what the [Combat Effectiveness Multiplier Effect] is, can only look at the top student group sitting upright with a slightly hazy and confused expression, and some simple-minded guys still can't understand Li Lin's explanation, and let the unknown confusion show their faces.

"If you don't understand the key, you don't have to worry about it now. After the battle, there is a lot of time to summarize and discuss, except for the surveying and mapping team to choose another time to make up the class, all the villagers focus on learning new tactics, cooperation and the use of new weapons, etc., unless there are special circumstances such as injury or illness, all of them will cancel their vacations, and all of them will devote themselves to this life-and-death battle. ”

The authoritarian power of being as cold and hard as a rock and refusing the interference of other opinions can't help but sit on the elves, and the strict class barriers are quietly erected under the foundation of the prestige and existential crisis that have been cultivated, and the nature of obedience to authority and discipline pushes the elves to silently obey Li Lin's deployment. ...,

There is no need to raise the [Z Flag] (Note 2), nor does it need the historical repetition and spiritual attachment of the "Rise and Fall of the Imperial Kingdom, in this battle".

Sue sΓΉ elves beautiful blueprint for the future, just a few words of beautiful vision. Villagers who know how to choose will not hesitate to become tiny parts of the Niflheim Valley's nascent warplanes.

This little furry monster that has just pecked open the eggshell is still immature and fragile, but compared to the rusty mode of warfare that humans have not yet started, the art of war that has been perfected on Earth is more effective, more lethal and destructive. Although there are limitations in the use environment, the guide needs to make heavy adjustments to adapt. However, Niflheim's unique environment weakened the human army's [home field advantage], giving Li Lin room to play those tactics.

Entering the thin area of Mana to fight means that the human side with magicians and magic weapons as the core striking force cannot give full play to its advantages, and the main force that can be used to attack can only be a large number of ordinary soldiers equipped with cold weapons, and the various strategies set by Li Lin are also to minimize the advantages of the human side that has a huge number of cavalry, archers, spearmen, heavy infantry, griffin knights and other arms that have a certain level of combined coordination.

"But is there any time? The enemy is likely to strike before we have all our preparations, and what should we do in case that happens? Agen Toraton's army is not only those under the command of the Count, but the Templar Order of the Church is still quite combative, even if the relationship is bad, but they are also human armies, and it is possible to join forces to attack. In the same way, the nobles of other territories also have the possibility of zΓ i support, so what should they do when the time comes?"

Shock.

Astonished.

Except for Li Lin's composure that seemed to never leave and Nidhogg's indignant snort, the atmosphere in the conference room was completely reversed by questions, and the two emotions in front of him swallowed everyone's minds.

Because the most urgent and fundamental plan to directly stab Li Lin can be called a fatal loophole.

Even more because of the bold questioning is Brunhill, the earliest and most hardcore supporter of Li Lin among the elves.

So everyone was shocked, so the villagers were surprised.

That girl should have been the least likely to contradict and refute Li Lin's plan.

Why?

But she was the one who made this offensive move.

"I'm very happy. ”

In the almost stagnant air, Li Lin showed an open-minded face, almost making the elves think that they had heard it wrong or had auditory hallucinations.

"I'm very happy. It's not politeness, it's not a disguise. Nothing made me happier to teach than having an important point that no other audience had noticed being pointed out by an attentive student. Listening to lectures without knowing that you will not make any progress in your own thinking, and praise for this is the etiquette that should be used to express joy. ”

Bang bang bang.

The black-haired boy smiled as he slammed his palms against each other in a congratulatory sound.

Pap

The applause led by Li Lin quickly echoed and resonated like a wave, and the eyes of joy, including the little girl's complex emotions, surrounded the slightly embarrassed Brunhill, and the elf girl's shoulders seemed to be worried and relaxed slightly.

Brunhill's question isn't too complicated to answer. Time - what we lack most is time to prepare for war. This is our weakness, the enemy's greatest advantage. The natural allies of the human side make my plan seem unrealizable, and I am afraid that not only you, but also the other party have the same idea, so I am confident and bold and unabashedly preparing for an attack. ”...,

Guide the elves' questions to their own solution ideas, and the sharp smile of the derogatory critic shows the white and shiny canine teeth.

"As I said before, war is nothing but another continuation of the war, and war is by no means an isolated act, and the government runs through the whole process of the war -- from the beginning to the end, the government has always stood behind the war, and this time is no exception. Foolish aristocrats who do not understand this, and think that their actions can be established independently from the entanglement of politics, will deeply understand this in the midst of war. ”

Although Clausewitz emphasized the leading role of politics and the uncertainty and contingency of war in his elaboration of the characteristics of war. However, the military scientists of the East also had insight into this point, and made a concise summary of the interaction between the accidental and uncertain in the war--"all those who fight should be defeated by the right and the odd", and "those who were good at fighting in the past should be invincible first, and then the enemy can be victorious." The ancient sages who focused more on "strategy" than [courage] and [luck] have long since jumped out of the trap of [absolute war] and [real war], leaving aside the friction accumulated by accidental factors, and thinking about how to use artificial means to create friction for the opponent from other aspects to achieve the same effect.

"Lord Count will have a lot of trouble to deal with, and the offensive will be delayed. Until he has settled most of the troubles, the pre-war gap is a precious period of opportunity for us to reopen the pre-war gap. ”

"Trouble?"

Putting aside the pen of the record, Brunhill has not yet realized that the subtle complexity of the political problem is unmistakable.

"You know, Brunhill. The social system of mankind is not yet stable enough to tolerate a nobleman leading an army on its own. ”

His cheeks were slightly tilted upward, and his sharp sneering smile exuded the aura of politics.

"Let those who are unwilling to take responsibility for the consequences know about the Earl's unusual behavior, and they will help us buy time. ”

Commentary on the time of the small theater

Nidhogg: This time, the article comes with its own BGM.

Li Lin: Of course, in order to serve readers, all kinds of benefits are indispensable, right?

Nidhogg: May I ask Lord Lilin, who is Clausewitz?

Li Lin: Carl Philip Gottfried von Clausewitz (1780~1831), German military theorist and military historian, major general of the Prussian army. In 1792, he joined the Prussian army. He was promoted to officer in 1795 and taught himself strategy, tactics, and military history. He is the author of the book "On War". "War is a tool of government, and war inevitably has the character of government,...... War is, in its main aspect, the government itself, which is represented here by the sword, but that does not stop thinking according to its own laws. Lenin spoke highly of Clausewitz's argument. Lenin called him "a very famous writer of the philosophy and history of war."

Nidhogg: And what is the allusion to the Z-flag?

Li Lin: Before every battle, a flag shaped like the English letter "Z" is always raised -- this kind of scene was a very common battle ceremony in the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy during World War II, indicating that the fleet was about to launch an attack, so as to boost morale. However, few people know that this traditional ritual of the Japanese Navy was inherited from the Battle of Tsushima in the Russo-Japanese War.

In the Battle of Tsushima in 1905, before meeting the Russian fleet, the commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Togo Hachiheiro, issued an operational order to the entire fleet: "The Imperial Kingdom will rise and fall, and in this battle, each member will work hard!" and then the Z-shaped flag indicating "decisive battle" was raised. Due to the superiority of the Japanese Navy in terms of naval gun performance, training level, number of ships and technology, coupled with the proper command of Togo Hachihiro, the Battle of Tsushima was a complete victory, and the Russian fleet was almost completely annihilated. Later, at the Battle of Pearl Harbor and the Marianas, the Japanese Combined Fleet once again raised the Z-flag.

Nidhogg: Oh oh, so is the Z flag going to be raised in this battle of recommended votes?

Li Lin: Do you curse me for dying early or for this book?

Nidhogg: ...... Please continue to help vote, readers, or someone will kill the dragon!!
