Chapter 463: On the feasibility of building a new era brigade-level synthetic combat unit! [Please order!]

Looking at Xie Guoliang lying on the bed, he still remembered to ask about her well-being and showed concern for everything.

A warm feeling surged from the bottom of Zhao Weihong's heart, and she became more and more accepting of this cheap master who had come to her door on his own initiative.

Growing till now.

Zhao Weihong met many noble people along the way.

Apart from Wang Chuan, Xie Guoliang is the second elder Zhao Weihong has met who is not arrogant and does not make him feel "distant".

It is no exaggeration to say that Xie Guoliang probably doesn't treat his own grandson as attentively as he does Zhao Weihong.

A son-in-law is half a son, let alone a closed disciple who is widely advertised and extremely satisfied?
A few decades earlier, Zhao Weihong, the apprentice, would have been responsible for taking care of Xie Guoliang until his death.

However, based on Xie Guoliang's stubborn character.

Even if Zhao Weihong really wanted to provide for his retirement, Xie Guoliang probably would not accept it.

"Teacher, let's take care of our bodies first."

He walked over and took the documents that Xie Guoliang had sorted out overnight and put them aside.

Zhao Weihong carefully adjusted Xie Guoliang's pillow so that he could lean on the bed in a more comfortable position for the infusion.

After doing all this, Zhao Weihong continued to speak to Xie Guoliang in a tone that was half helpless and half complaining.

"I have just arrived at our Lu Academy, and I still have a long way to go."

"It's not too late to talk about these studies after you recover."

Zhao Weihong's words were purely out of concern for Xie Guoliang's health.

After all, Xie Guoliang is not a strong and vigorous young man like Zhao Weihong. Airsickness may seem like a minor illness, but it is actually very serious.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many demoted literati and poets in ancient times who died during their journey of exile.

But this touched Xie Guoliang's "reverse scale". His eyes on his skinny face widened and he scolded Zhao Weihong with spit flying everywhere!
"How can you not be in a hurry!"

"You kid, you are so young and you don't want to work hard. How can you be so lazy?"

"Are you worthy of your talent and the high hopes that the organization has placed on you?"

Zhao Weihong: “.”

What are you talking about?

How could anyone in this world accuse Zhao Weihong of being lazy? Of not working hard enough?

Zhao Weihong wanted to explain a few words for herself.

But he looked at the infusion needle in Xie Guoliang's hand, and then looked at the angry face of the old man Xie Guoliang.

Zhao Weihong had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue, and instead asked in a somewhat aggrieved tone.

"Then according to the teacher, what should I do to be considered diligent?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Guoliang did not speak directly. Instead, regardless of the fact that he was still receiving an IV drip, he raised his hands and made a "ten" gesture.

"ten times!"

"Wei Hong, don't say that your master didn't say hello to you!"

"I have only one standard for teaching students, and that is strictness!"

"If you want to gain my approval, you have to work ten times harder than you are now!"

"Only then can you complete the study tasks I assigned to you!"

As he spoke, Xie Guoliang simply ignored Zhao Weihong's confused and dazed expression, and instead cursed with gritted teeth!
"But it's not your fault!"

"It's all the fault of that old man Yan Wenyuan!"

"This old guy has some talent for research."

"But when it comes to leading disciples, this bastard is nothing!"

"Otherwise I wouldn't have taught you to be so lazy!"

"Don't be afraid, Wei Hong!"

At the end, Xie Guoliang's tone became more and more passionate, and he gave Zhao Weihong a final summary.

"I will help you get rid of all these bad habits of yours!"

lazy?

Bad habits.?

Listening to Xie Guoliang's confident words, Zhao Weihong felt his brain go haywire and thought to himself, who is this person you are talking about, old man?

It shouldn't be me, right?

Since joining the army, Zhao Weihong has made countless fellow soldiers cry and driven countless leaders crazy with his diligence.
Anyone who has worked with Zhao Weihong would have coaxed her in a gentle manner, telling her not to work too hard and to be careful not to overwork herself.

Who would have thought that Zhao Weihong would be described as "lazy" by Xie Guoliang? ?
Is this justified?

But looking at Xie Guoliang's extremely serious attitude, it doesn't seem like he is joking!

After all, this was the president of Changshan Army Command College, who was so enthusiastic about his work and even Zhao Weihong was impressed by his enthusiasm when compiling textbooks.

Xie Guoliang!

Even at his age, his work spirit is just as strong as Zhao Weihong, who is known for his diligence, and may even be better.

Need I even tell you what Xie Guoliang was like when he was young?
Zhao Weihong promax, the super enhanced version!
From this perspective, he is really qualified to accuse Zhao Weihong of not being diligent enough!

And think about it carefully.

This was the first time that Zhao Weihong met an elder who encouraged him to work harder and be more diligent.

This formed a sharp contrast with the previous words that advised Zhao Weihong to "quit while the going is good", and it ignited a long-lost passion in Zhao Weihong's heart!

four years ago.

Four whole years!
Finally, someone said to Zhao Weihong, you should work harder!

Thinking of this, a strange curve suddenly appeared at the corner of Zhao Weihong's mouth.

This is suppressed ecstasy, but also the feeling that you are "in the right place", a joy that comes from the heart!
"is teacher!"

"I promise you that in my future studies and work, I will work ten times harder than I have now."

"I will never let you down!"

Seeing that Zhao Weihong was so "sensible", Xie Guoliang immediately nodded with satisfaction, and his old face was full of wrinkles from smiling.

"It's great that you have this kind of awareness."

"Then let's start from now on and talk about your graduation thesis and the content of your next studies!"

"Yes!"

At Xie Guoliang's suggestion, Zhao Weihong took out two books printed on A4 paper from a thick stack of documents and bound them together.

Strictly speaking, these should be two records.

One is a record of the Eagle Sauce’s military construction from the early 1990s to the present.

The other one is the construction record of the major army groups of Yan State, and it goes back a little further, starting from the mid-1980s.

In these two records, which should be very different, there is one same word that appears with extremely alarming frequency.

Synthetic.

"Wei Hong, you should be clear about the concept of synthesis, right?"

Strictly speaking, the concept of synthesis is even earlier than the current key goal of the Yan State’s troops - informatization.

As early as the 1960s and 1970s, the Russian Bear and the Eagle Sauce, who were once in competition with each other and at their peak, both proposed the idea of ​​building a synthetic force.

Compared with traditional troops with a single function, synthetic troops that have multiple strike capabilities and can respond to various emergencies can better meet the needs of modern warfare with rapid development of communication methods. Two different ideas for building the army were born around the concept of synthesis.

One is the "streamlined organization, small and comprehensive" proposed by the Eagle Sauce, which strives to break the previous tradition and make the battalion-level units that mix multiple types of arms become the main force units that can stand out on the battlefield.

The other is the Russian bear's "powerful brick flying", which directly uses "army" as the unit and allows the group army to completely replace the "army" level concept, so that each group army has the terrifying ability to complete a battle independently!
From these two different construction ideas, we can see the status of the "Army" in the homes of the Russians and the Americans.

The Eagle Sauce’s trump card has never been the army.

The world's worst geopolitical pressure and relations with neighboring countries mean that the United States does not need to maintain a large army to ensure the security of its homeland, and the construction of its army must adhere to the "small and exquisite" style.

But the Russian bear is different.

In the last century, the Russian Empire had the world's largest army, with the number of armored vehicles and tanks numbering in the tens of thousands.

In this case, the Russian bear certainly cannot refer to the ideas of the American hawks.

The concept of a "powerful and powerful" army just meets the needs of the Russian bear.

Yan State, which is also a powerful army country, naturally chose the path of the Russian bear.

While carrying out military reform and streamlining of troop forces, synthetic reform was also carried out, allowing the concept of group army to once again appear on the historical stage.

Zhao Weihong, who had studied at USTC for a long time, naturally understood the history and the deep meaning behind it. He immediately followed Xie Guoliang's words and nodded.

"After hearing your thoughts yesterday, it suddenly occurred to me that perhaps the direction chosen by Eagle Sauce is the right one on the road to synthesis."

"In other words, the idea of ​​building a synthetic army with battalions, companies, or even squads and platoons as the smallest combat units can better meet the current needs of building an informationized force!"

Hearing this, Zhao Weihong seemed to have some feelings. After a long silence, he spoke softly.

"Informationized forces are our current construction goal and a combat system for the new era."

"If I transform my concept of artillery-tank coordination into the concept of a combined force"

"Then, the troops that can best take advantage of the informationized combat system are probably the multi-functional and comprehensive synthetic troops!"

Which synthetic forces can best bring out the system advantages of informationized warfare?

Listening to Zhao Weihong's incisive summary, Xie Guoliang smacked his lips several times. The more he smacked his lips, the more delicious it tasted. In the end, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly!

"That's right!"

"Your summary has summarized everything I wanted to say to you!"

Under excitement.

Xie Guoliang forgot that he was still receiving an IV drip. When he slapped his thigh, he used the hand that was receiving the IV drip and directly pulled out the needle.

Bright red blood immediately gushed out from the tiny pinhole on the back of Xie Guoliang's hand. Zhao Weihong's pupils suddenly shrank when she saw it, and she immediately exclaimed.

"Medic! Medic!"

"What are you yelling about?"

"It's almost finished anyway, so just think of it as removing the needle early."

"Get out, this is none of your business, don't interrupt our train of thought!"

The military doctor who came after hearing the news was directly driven away.

Xie Guoliang picked up two cotton swabs and blocked the needle hole that was still bleeding, then continued to speak to Zhao Weihong excitedly.

"And Wei Hong, can the synthetic forces you mentioned correspond to the current transformation of divisions into brigades?"

"For example, referring to the Eagle Sauce's idea, we can build an all-round and multi-faceted synthetic force with brigades as units?"

The division was changed into a brigade.

It is also the top priority of Yan State’s army construction in recent years.

The purpose is to streamline the organization and improve command efficiency so that the troops can maintain strong combat effectiveness in the context of information warfare that increasingly emphasizes flexibility and efficiency.

However, the concept of "synthesis" still maintains the tradition of the last century.

It only remains at the "military" level and has no momentum to spread downwards.

In other words, the brigade-level units after the organizational changes are essentially no different from before. In many cases, they still have to rely on the centralized dispatch and on-the-spot command of their superiors, that is, the military-level command departments, to have the ability to conduct a battle.

From a macro perspective, although the current reform is vigorous, it can be said that it has not been reflected at the military level, and it still maintains the appearance of the last century.

once.

Xie Guoliang has expressed concerns about this practice.

However, due to various factors such as the huge size of the Yan State Army, Xie Guoliang could not find a better solution and could only take it one step at a time and push forward the current reforms.

But today's conversation with Zhao Weihong gave Xie Guoliang a new idea.

A path no one had ever imagined!
"Brigade-based?"

Zhao Weihong frowned and thought seriously about Xie Guoliang's words.

At this moment, there is no difference in rank or status between the master and the disciple.

More like two comrades.

Two like-minded comrades who came together because of a common goal!

"Judging from the current situation, it may be feasible!"

"And the tradition of military-level combined forces can also be retained."

"For example, we can create a variety of integrated brigade-level units with different functions, and achieve a higher level of integration at the jun level!"

"Let the army-level units, no, let them be group army-level units, become a true group army, with the power to destroy a country with one army!"

Hearing this, Xie Guoliang was shocked by Zhao Weihong's bold idea.

But after thinking about it carefully, Xie Guoliang found that the concept he and Zhao Weihong discussed was very feasible and was by no means just empty talk on paper!

"Then how should the functions of this brigade-level unit be determined?"

"The traditional mechanized infantry brigade and artillery brigade will definitely be eliminated!"

"In my opinion"

The master and the apprentice talked to each other, and in the medical team, a place not very suitable for research, they began a clash of ideas that would go down in history!

The two had a heated conversation that lasted until the next day!

Finally, the military doctor was worried about Xie Guoliang's health, so he invited the political commissar of the Lu Academy, and only then did he persuade the master and disciple, who were willing to work their lives to death, to go back!

However, the research of this master and disciple is far from over!
Next, Xie Guoliang pointed out a clearer direction for Zhao Weihong's graduation thesis!

On the feasibility of brigade-level synthetic combat units and their construction in the new era!
It is clear!
This is a huge topic!

In order to complete this part of the research, Zhao Weihong and Xie Guoliang devoted all their energy.

Both the master and the apprentice thought that this would be a research that would produce results soon.

But as the research deepened, more and more problems emerged before Zhao Weihong and his apprentice.

More and more ideas continued to emerge as flashes of inspiration came into her research, enriching Zhao Weihong's graduation thesis!

Even Zhao Weihong and Xie Guoliang, the two parties involved, are currently unable to determine the final picture of this paper.

But one thing is for sure.

In order to complete this paper.

No matter how much effort you put in or how much time you sacrifice, it is all worth it!
With this consensus in mind, Zhao Weihong put in "ten times the effort" as Xie Guoliang required, and worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, to complete the paper.

After Zhao Weihong finally wrote the last period on the first draft of the paper.

Looking back, a full year had passed since he had that conversation with Xie Guoliang in the medical team!
