The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

"What's the idea. Tell me quickly." Wei Liao said anxiously.

"Establish a military academy. To train these officers." Shangwen said.

"A military academy?" Wei Liao said.

"En. With military academies, military commanders who can keep up with the times can be trained in a timely manner. In the past, our officer training was gradually cultivated from the grassroots in the war. To form your own commanding style by directly facing the senses of the war. For example, General Wang Jian. He came out of the war. Such an officer can adapt to the war. But the future direction of the army is very vague. In other words, the army The command and construction of the army can be done, but the future army building is vague. They can adapt to war, but they can't predict the war mode ahead of time." Shang Wen reminded.

"En. Mr. Qin, continue to talk." Wei Liao's hands trembled a little, and he seemed very excited.

"A commander like this can only be said to be a good commander, but not a good military controller. Although it is our civil servants who control the overall direction of the military." Shang Wen said.In the Qin Dynasty, the post of Guowei was similar to the current Minister of Defense.And it is the civil servants who hold this position.That is to say, in ancient times, there has been a matter of civil officials controlling military generals.

"However, the specific implementation is a matter for the generals." Shang Wen emphasized.In fact it is.For example, when Roosevelt was Secretary of the Navy, he was aware of the importance of the navy. However, the specific changes in the military are those specific officers. Phenomenal power, put forward some advanced consciousness.What civil servants can do is mediate among politicians.All they say to do is provide such an opportunity.

"For example, the specific use of artillery requires some bold low-level officers to explore. With such an exploration, the mode of warfare can advance in the exploration. And our previous unconscious training of officers is not in line with this It is required. First of all, the level of knowledge of our officers is very low. Many of them do not know how to read, for example, those centurions and village chiefs. It is because many of them do not know how to read. It is very troublesome to direct in this way." Shangwen said.

"Moreover, with the upgrading of weapons, the requirements for officers who have grown up from killing are getting higher and higher. Wars no longer overemphasize their strength, but more emphasis on their command and mind. And military academies , It is to cultivate such officers so that they can realize the importance of wisdom. From the power type to the thinking type." Shang Wen said.

"You're right. You're right." Wei Liao said.

"Mr. Qin really has a long-term vision. If we don't train these officers, then the construction of the army will be in a mess. And as the war progresses, the quality of our officers will become lower and lower. War, after all, will consume If this continues, the army will not develop for a long time." Wei Liao said.

"Moreover, we have also begun to take the initiative to train officers, from the original officers who grew up independently in the war to active training officers. Moreover, after these officers re-learned in the war, they returned to the military academy to teach the next generation of officer trainees. In this way We will be able to have a steady stream of supplementary officers," Shang Wen said.

"In that case, that would be great." Wei Liao said excitedly.

"What's more, those sergeant majors you mentioned must also be trained." Wei Liao suggested.

"Well, very correct. For example, artillery and muskets. These sergeant majors are the backbone of the army at the grassroots level, equivalent to elites, and they have rich combat experience. After special training, these sergeant majors are more effective than before. It needs to be improved exponentially. If the officers are the bones of the army, then these sergeants are the nerves of the army, and with these nerves, they will tightly connect the peripheral organs of the army." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, yes. Too right." It was the first time Wei Liao heard such remarks, and couldn't help being a little excited.

"Next, we should discuss the specific implementation plan." Shang Wen said.

"Yes." Wei Liao said.

"The first thing is to establish several military academies." Shangwen said.

"Well, there are several places where the army is currently concentrated, Lantian, the border between Qin and Zhao, and the Mengtian tribe in the north." Wei Liao said.

"Then build two temporarily. One in Xianyang and one in Lantian. Officer..." Shang Wen hesitated.

"The officers to be trained will be the members of the observation team sent to Yan." Wei Liao continued.

"Yes. They will be in charge." Shangwen said.

"The trainees are all junior officers. They can only serve as platoon leaders. After a year or two, they can serve as company commanders. They must be sent to the newly established musketeers. Or the musketeers under construction. Shang Wen suggested.

"Well, this is necessary." Wei Liao said.

"By the way, there is another key point. That is the treatment of these officers." Wei Liao directly mentioned the final key point among the officers.

"It's not just the treatment of the officers, but also the merits of the officers." Wei Liao said.

"Well, this must be changed. To record the credit of officers, one is the recommendation of our superior officers. The other is the evaluation of our staff officers. The third is the review team of officers. In terms of remuneration, after the cancellation of the original military merit system, according to Officers are classified according to their grades, such as housing, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and treatment. They can also be promoted, which also requires the same method of recording merit.” Shang Wen said.

"For the training of sergeants, it is best to have a short period of time, preferably within two months. And it must be technically specific. For soldiers to be promoted to officers, it is also the same method of military merit, but they must go through military academies. .” Shang Wen said.

"That's right. Mr. Qin, what happened to the staff officer you mentioned?" Wei Liao said.

"A staff officer is equivalent to a military division, but it is not one, but a group. The staff officer is responsible for formulating marching routes and countermeasures for the decision of the military commander. The staff officers set up a staff chief who is responsible for issuing specific orders, but The decision-making power is still with the commander. It's just to relieve the pressure on the military commander." Shang Wen said.

"Good, good. Good military staff."

"Staff?" Shang Wen asked with some doubts.

"That's right, Mr. Qin mentioned the staff department." Wei Liao confirmed.

"Oh, that's right." Shang Wen undoubtedly said the modern command system.The establishment of the General Staff was completely adapted to the needs of the war.With the establishment of the General Staff.Qin's strategic goals were chosen more scientifically.more reasonable.If it is said that the king of Qin summoned ministers for consultations was an act of counseling, it was also a half-political and half-military deliberation.More from a political point of view, the specific operation of the military.There are very few specific points.

However, the establishment of the staff department can refine this specific military practice.

"En. The officers of the staff department are all middle and senior commanders who have experienced wars and have rich command experience. These staff officers are responsible for formulating marching routes and further combat plans. In this way, the conduct of war is more detailed and accurate." Shang Wen I can only briefly explain how the more advanced staff works.Because according to the current situation, there are not many benefits from the staff.First of all, experienced mid-to-senior officers are a big problem.Moreover, the main body is still soldiers with cold weapons.Instead of an army with guns and artillery.Moreover, the military officers' understanding of war is still only vague, and has not yet fully formed a system.

"Well, this way, my pressure will be much less." Wei Liao said happily.

"There are still too few experienced mid-to-high-ranking officers at present, which requires a lot of formation training and continuous growth in the war to be tempered." Shang Wen said.

"That's true. These talents are the most lacking at present. And everything is blank." Wei Liao said.

"There is also the division of the staff department. Now we need to determine the strategic goals. Mark those goals according to the priority. And start collecting intelligence." Shang Wen suggested.

"Mr. Qin is right. The current situation is indeed the case. For example, the situation in Yanzhao is more difficult. Thanks to the effective support of our Daqin Firearms, Yanguo has completely defeated Zhao Jun. Moreover, from the latest information Look at the source. The Yan army is currently the most likely, and it may be difficult to capture the giant deer of Zhao State. Handan may be difficult. After all, the capital of Zhao State was also defeated by Qin State." Wei Liao said in detail.

"En. This is why Zhao Guo is so anxious to buy my Daqin firearm." Shang Wen said.

"I don't know, what happened to the information collected by Wang Ben?" Shang Wen said to himself.

"By the way, my lord, I have one more request. That is, the establishment of the Heavenly Army requires a general to assist me. Now I have a lot of things to do. If I am in charge alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to do what I want." Shang Wen said.

"Well, this is natural. It's just the general, you see?" Wei Liao asked.

"Well, I think it's Li Xin." Shang Wen still has some impressions of Li Xin.After all, I had a chance encounter with myself, and met at the city of Yunzhong.

"Okay, I'll go and handle the transfer order now." Wei Liao said excitedly.

"In this way, it's getting late. I have to go to the paper mill, where I have to solve an important problem." Shang Wen said.

"Then I'll see Master Qin off." Wei Liao said politely.

"No, no, no. Just go about your business, I have more things to do. Don't be so troublesome." Shangwen said clasping his fists.

"I'm taking my leave now." Shang Wen said with his fists clasped.

"No." Wei Liao said.

Shangwen clasped his fists again.Turn around and leave.

Shangwen took out his notebook and wanted to see in detail what he was going to do next.That is to check the situation of the paper mill.In particular, the paper mill was going through an upgrade.It is printing.

The emergence of printed matter can further popularize cultural needs.

Shangwen looked at the notebook.Start labeling some dos and don'ts.

"Let's go to the printing factory." Shangwen quickly boarded the car.

The coachman was a little embarrassed.Because he hasn't heard of any printing house yet, he doesn't know where this place is?
