Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 793 793 Dead People

When Feng Kezhi was able to sit up with the help of others, it was already ten days later. He leaned comfortably on the pillow and read the "Influence of the Advancement of Infantry Communication Technology", and the more he read it, the more he enjoyed it.

Different from those obscure military books handed down from ancient times to modern times, it no longer talks about the illusory concept of using troops, no longer emphasizes the personal quality of generals, and no longer asks about the ever-changing battlefield situations.

This book is full of dry goods between the lines, and it is all about the impact of the progress of the communication system on the operation of the army.

It explains why the Tang army used the special and somewhat weird combat organization of battle groups on a large scale on the battlefield.

From the very beginning, the book discusses the ancient beacon fires, torches, semaphores, drums, and later the signal soldiers.

The author believes that even in the case of limited technical conditions, in order to improve the general's ability to perceive the battlefield and control the troops, the ancient troops did not hesitate to use the most elite troops and the most scarce horses to complete the transmission of battlefield intelligence information.

Between the lines, Feng Kezhi felt what the author of this book emphasized, and he had experienced the same thing before.

In order to ensure the battlefield communication of the troops, the commander's most confidant soldiers will be selected as the commanders of the signal corps, and even these signal corps commanders will personally pass on the general's orders at certain times.

In the same way, in order to ensure the timeliness of communication, one of the most important tasks of the cavalry in the era of the flintlock was to transmit information.And to raise a knight, you can raise a dozen real fusiliers.

So when he saw the wireless telegraph, Feng Kezhi was shocked.A general, even the monarch of a country, can know what happened in a certain area within a few minutes. This communication efficiency has completely changed the mode of warfare.

In the past era, from the beginning of the war to gather troops to the front line, and finally until the war broke out to determine the winner, it would take several months to see the outcome.

Now, as long as there are enough radio stations, the general can accurately control the movement, location, and status of an army...even the loss of contact itself is a kind of intelligence.

Coupled with a new thing invented by Tang Guo: the telephone, battlefield communication has risen to a new level.As long as the telephone line is laid, the commander can instantly contact any unit he wants to contact, almost without any delay.

The moment the other party picks up the phone receiver, a battlefield commander can effectively control all the information of the unit, ask whatever he wants, and know whatever he wants to know.

For a long time, Feng Kezhi felt that Tang Jun's innovation in the means of information transmission was one of the reasons why Tang Jun was at the forefront of the world's powerful military.

But at this moment, when Feng Kezhi read the "Influence of the Advancement of Infantry Communication Technology" in front of him, he knew exactly what kind of changes Tang Jun was making.

In this book, it tells that the Tang army disrupted the original troop system in order to ensure communication, and let infantry follow tanks and armored vehicles, including self-propelled artillery to form a combat team, so as to ensure that all troops can be found immediately, all All troops can immediately feed back the information they encounter.

For this reason, the Tang Army did not hesitate to pay the price of organizational chaos: In order to allow the troops to have stronger autonomous action capabilities, the Tang Army left the supply pressure to the logistics support troops, and the original command of all levels of troops was replaced by a chaotic situation. Issued to these combat teams.

To put it bluntly, relying on its own excellent quality, the Tang army can still form a chaotic temporary formation under the chaotic command system, and find fighters to fight by themselves.

To put it in a bad way, Tang Jun will soon fall into a self-destructive chaos in battle, relying entirely on the subjective initiative of middle and lower-level officers to persist.

Tang Jun's Seven Injuries Fist is actually a competition for who will fall into chaos first, the opponent or himself, and start to completely collapse.

Then, in turn, use the radios on tanks and armored vehicles to ensure the exchange of information, ensure the effectiveness of communication, rampage on the chaotic battlefield, and solve those enemy forces that have been divided and surrounded and cannot exchange information for communication.

Can foreign troops learn this set of things?Can...but can't.It may be because if you have read the book in front of you for this set of things, you can theoretically understand this set of tactics and learn from it.

But on the other hand, if you want to learn this set of things, you must first meet several prerequisites: one is an elite and efficient mid- and lower-level commander group, one is an advanced battlefield communication system, and the other is a strong and exaggerated logistics support system.

With these three prerequisites, it is possible to replicate the strength of the Tang army and create a first-class army.

But in fact, almost no one can meet these conditions of Tang Jun at the same time: they don't have various advanced schools to train talents, they don't have advanced communication technology reserves, and they don't have a trustworthy logistics supply system.

After so many years, the militaries of various countries seem to be more and more advanced, but they are still under an extremely backward ideological leadership. They don't understand this set of things. Even if there are some ideas, they are just superficial arguments.

The armies of various countries are still the same. When they have trucks, they are equipped with front-line troops in an attempt to increase the speed of movement of these troops on the battlefield.However, such troops equipped with a large number of trucks are dragged down by the hip-pull logistics support system in actual combat, either because they are out of fuel or cannot keep up with maintenance.

As a result, the troops of various countries often have a large number of empty trucks in the frontline troops, but they are seriously damaged and scrapped, and the moving speed is no different from that of ordinary infantry.

In recent years, countries have been constantly studying how to improve these problems, and have begun to focus on strengthening the support capabilities of logistics forces.

But what is irritating is that the emergence of the Tang State Air Force has magnified the serious problem that the transportation support force cannot survive the crushing of the powerful air force.

This, in turn, has cost countries all the money they have invested in logistical support: trains and railways will be bombed, supply points will be attacked, and ground targets such as trucks will be destroyed.The loss of logistics will be intuitively reflected on the front-line combat troops, and the supply link that has just been slightly improved will still drag down the combat effectiveness of the entire army.

Ever since, how to protect the fragile supply system has become a new topic. Feng Kezhi even began to sympathize with those Tang's opponents—they had to invest more energy in the more expensive and more technical air force.

What frightened Feng Kezhi the most was that when he read the last third of the book, he actually saw Tang Guo's summary of his tactical shortcomings.

That is to say, even if someone can really rely on piling up money, plagiarize Tang State crazily, and reach the military level close to Tang State, they will be defeated by Tang Army.Even, Tang Jun didn't need to pay too much to defeat such a plagiarist!

The last part of this book briefly introduces Tang Jun's current individual communication system. Although it is not detailed, Feng Kezhi was stunned and stunned.

Tang Guo has already begun mass production of communication devices that can be carried by individual soldiers, which means that commanders can achieve micro-control over smaller troops.

With this miniaturized communication system, Tang Jun no longer has to continue to work hard to mix up troops, but can realize timely dispatch and command of troops under the condition of a single branch.

The battlefield in the future will become even more different, and Tang's generals are learning this change in advance.This is their real horror!While other countries were struggling to catch up with Tang, they took another step forward in a leisurely manner.

Even, they are not shy about the proliferation of this kind of technology, and they can just leave this kind of book to him... a defeated general to pass the time.

Thinking of this, Feng Kezhi closed his eyes and sighed bitterly.It wasn't until this time that he realized that the Great Tang Kingdom didn't even need to win over him, the great general of the enemy country, because to this emerging kingdom, a general like him was nothing more than an exquisite cultural relic covered with cobweb dust.

Although cultural relics and antiques are good, they are all outdated things.Their only purpose is to show the glory of the past, and they are placed in the museum for people to pay tribute to.

Amidst his sighs, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a general wearing a big-brimmed hat and wearing the military uniform of the Tang Dynasty walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he exclaimed: "General!"

Feng Kezhi recognized the person who came, and smiled awkwardly: "Jinhang...you, why are you here?"

"I heard about you, so I applied to come and see you... The Emperor... Is Zhao Kai really so jealous, did he attack you?" Qian Jinhang took off his military cap and put it under his arm, Walking to Feng Kezhi's bedside, he was a little excited in his words.

"A defeated general, what are you calling a virtuous man? I'm dead now, and I'm just an idler." Feng Kezhi took the book he had read once away from him, and placed it in the opposite direction to Qian Jinhang's. .

Now he is very close to this book. Every time a nurse comes in, he will subconsciously stare at the book, always afraid that it will be taken away by others.

"Alas..." Qian Jinhang sighed while standing by the bed, then raised his head and said, "I have already written a letter of recommendation, Your Majesty..."

When he mentioned this word, he paused for a moment, as if he was a little afraid that Feng Kezhi would not be able to tell the difference: "Your Majesty is wise, you will definitely use your great general..."

"Why bother, I...forget it, I'm just a prisoner, I don't care where I go." Feng Kezhi smiled self-deprecatingly: "I didn't dare to see you before, but now that I see you, I also feel a little bit embarrassed. If you want to say something, just treat it as... the last words of that Feng Kezhi you know."

There are already birds chirping outside the window, and the rubble beside the collapsed wall has been cleared away. Tang's vehicles can be seen on the street, most of which are troop trucks, and some Feng Kezhi are missing. past engineering vehicles.

On the ruins on the other side of the street, some civilians are carrying stones and broken wood. There are many differences between the buildings of the Tang Dynasty and those of the Dahua Empire. The biggest difference is that the Tang Dynasty used to use cement to build taller and less aesthetically pleasing tube buildings. .

To be honest, this is a kind of aesthetic retrogression. Those cold reinforced concrete buildings are like prisons, leaving only palm-sized windows for people, which looks eerie.

This inherent impression did not affect Tang's construction engineering team to build such a building, because it could provide housing for more people and at the same time facilitate the construction of water supply and drainage systems.

Feng Kezhi hadn't seen what Tongzilou looked like before, so he might as well know about the Changed City of King Zheng than Qian Jinhang beside him.

In the early years, Feng Kezhi followed his father to King Zheng's City. At that time, he looked down on that down-and-out place, and every detail exuded inferiority compared to Dahua Imperial Capital.

It's like going to Kyoto, Japan, you can only see the cramped delicacy. If you just go to see this delicacy, you will indeed feel the comfort of "the child is as good as the father".

But after seeing the truly majestic Weiyang Palace and Chang'an's heartfelt grace and luxury, who can understand the bitterness and sorrow of those envoys sent back to China?

"We are all old and young leftovers of the times. Others are willing to worship you as a general because they respect you. Before you learn the advanced things from others, you should talk less and do more." Feng Kezhi retracted from a distance. Looking away, he instructed Qian Jinhang who was already sitting by the bed.

"The general's lesson is that Qian Jinhang has been studying these days, deeply aware of the military strength of the Tang Dynasty, and has always been cautious in his words and deeds, so as not to make mistakes." Qian Jinhang immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'm not teaching you, I'm talking to you. I've thought about a lot of things these days. Everything in the Tang Kingdom is the rebellion I hated so much before. But I can break out of the circle of opposition and look back. It's different." Feng Kezhi's tone was slow, but he spoke seriously.

He didn't pause, and continued on his own: "What Tang Guo is doing may be another way to change the world. Although we can't see it clearly, we can't figure it out...but they may not be wrong."

"If you can think that way, you are already much better than Qian Jinhang." Qian Jinhang smiled, half flattering and half serious, "I didn't understand the truth until I got all the way to Chang'an. "

He paused for a few seconds, as if recalling that magical journey: "When I left the Xicong war zone, I saw crops soaked in muddy water on both sides of the railway. The more north you go, the better the crops grow. I think When I arrived at the village full of new houses, I also saw the magnificent city and the magnificent train platform."

"To be honest, although I don't think those buildings are more beautiful than the palaces of the Dahua Empire, those buildings that look like miracles are the residences of common people, and they are the platforms for common people to travel by car... The difference between them makes me Still in shock.”

"I envy you very much. You saw the scene I wanted to see. When I can leave here, I also want to see the scene you have seen." Feng Kezhi said enviously.

"General, you will definitely see those scenery." Qian Jinhang laughed with sincerity on his face.

"Don't call me Great General anymore... I have thought about some things these days, or I have learned about the Tang army these days. The truth of the word Great General really makes me feel more ironic." Feng Kezhi waved his hand , said to Qian Jinhang.

He squeezed out a smile: "On Tang Jun's side, I may only be qualified as a division commander. Moreover, the general is dead, and I am now a nameless person, a person who does not exist."

……

In the study, Tang Mo smiled and put the recommendation letter written by Qian Jinhang aside: "It seems that our captive general still has some charisma."

"Qian Jinhang is also unlucky. After Feng Kezhi was captured by us, he can only bite the bullet and express his position." The Prime Minister Luo Jie beside him said with emotion with a smile.

One of the two surrendered and the other was captured. The one who surrendered first was in a high position, and he would not be too comfortable getting along with the old boss who was later captured.

"However, after a period of time before, this Qian Jinhang still has some skills. He has commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and he has his own opinions on the control of troops and the operation and scheduling of large troops. The help from the staff is still great." Loew who was sitting on the other side also said.

"I know...if they are not so stubborn, they still have room for improvement. How could they be pure fools to be able to take the position of general?" Tang Mo tapped his finger on the recommendation letter Twice: "What I care about is what position should be given to this Funk."

"Civilian... I'm afraid it's not suitable?" Luo Jie knew that Tang Mo called him, but he might throw Feng Kezhi to the civil servant to make do with it first.

Although the major may not be the right one, but the exercise, making Feng Ke wronged for a few years first, will help calm the conflicts on the military side and ease the embarrassment.

Loew said from the side: "I think it's better to stay in the army. On the one hand, talents are rare, and on the other hand, we should also have some tolerance."

"Then tell me, what position is comfortable for you?" Tang Mo looked at Loew and asked, "The four marshals are something we have already determined, and the generals behind them all have their own qualifications. A veteran like Rick only has the rank of lieutenant general..."

Bai Fei and Lu Qianshan are also lieutenant generals, Eric and Qian Jinhang are also lieutenant generals, if a captive is given to a general, everyone will have some opinions.

You said that if you want to make contributions, everyone will have the credit, and if you want to work hard, everyone will also have to work hard. You have worked hard for several years, why not be as good as a prisoner of the enemy country?There must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise many people will have a knot in their hearts.

Loew thought for a few seconds, and then asked, "How about giving the rank of Major General first?"

"Doesn't that seem a little insulting to Feng Kezhi?" Roger looked at Loew and asked.

"Having the rank of major general, how about going to the Datang Military Academy for further study...?" Loew added.

Tang Mo nodded, this is really a good way.Not letting Feng Kezhi enter the ranks of the army first, not assigning actual positions, and letting him go to study and make up lessons is also a kind of alternative promotion.

You know, major generals who graduated from the military academy can be promoted to lieutenant generals as long as they have excellent grades.

Moreover, there is an unwritten rule within the Tang army, that is, the generals who lead the troops in the front line are all talented students who graduated from the Datang Military Academy.

In other words, Feng Kezhi is very likely to become the first "surrendered general" of the Tang army to lead troops to fight, and may even become the first "surrendered general" to lead troops to fight.

Because Lu Qianshan's arrangement in the navy has not yet been determined, it is hard to say whether Feng Kezhi can become the number one in the army, but it is very possible to become the number one in the army.

After all, Qian Jinhang joined the staff department directly, and he never went to Datang Military Academy for advanced studies, so he will basically stay in the staff department all the time.

"It's also a way, but I don't know what Feng Kezhi's personal opinion is." Roger was also very satisfied with this way, and looked at Tang Mo and said.

"Then let Bolton and Qian Jinhang talk about it! Aren't they all willing to watch the excitement? Let them do it!" Tang Mo said with a smile, basically finalizing the matter.

On the other side, another "dead person" was sitting on an uncomfortable sofa in the dilapidated castle, watching the report sent to her by her confidants.

"We have successfully transferred 3000 million gold coins to a safe place, and another 1500 million are in operation." The subordinate who came to report said a little nervously.

"Not enough! Too little! Too little!" Sophia shouted in pain, pinching the report that symbolized her actual wealth.

At the peak of her wealth, there were hundreds of millions. Although most of them were real estate, which were investment and factory discounts, her wealth was indeed a lot in a sense.

Someone once estimated Sophia's net worth. Following Cyric's copying of the Datang Group's operations over the past few years, Sophia had nearly one billion gold coins when she was the richest.

But with the failure of this anti-Tang war, Cyric's value has shrunk, and Sophia's wealth is not as much as it was at its peak.

What makes her even more depressed is that her wealth is being embezzled by those Cyric shareholders, and she is still unable to make an effective counterattack.She could only lie dormant obediently, hiding in the dark and waiting for the opportunity...

That's why she didn't dare to let people find out about her fraudulent death, so she didn't dare to transfer all her wealth—she had to leave most of her wealth and leave her body to those wolves so that they could gnaw on her. Thus carelessly ignoring some clues that she was still alive.

"My lord... If there are more, and the transfer is quicker... it will inevitably leave some traces. Others can say that the Tang's intelligence department may not be able to hide it." The subordinate was also depressed and explained.

"Forget it! Just go according to the current plan! Be sure to hide!" Sophia was also afraid that Tang Mo would really find out about her fake death.

For some reason, she had an inexplicable fear of Tang Mo, like a sika deer, who was naturally in awe of cheetahs and tigers.
