Chapter 52 Chapter 2.09 Joining the Army, Thinking about History

Transmission is a powerful technology of the Allied Group. It attempts to complete the distortion of time and space through strong enough electromagnetic energy to facilitate the transmission of matter.

Disadvantages: If the transmission is to the wrong location, the overlap of solid matter will produce a terrible explosion. (For example, a destroyer is transmitted to an aircraft carrier.)

The risk taken by the driver of the mechanical vehicle involved in the transmission is no less than that of super-high altitude parachuting.

Relatively speaking, single-soldier transmission is more demanding.

It takes the talent of "Jie Hongzi" to be sensitive to time and space to control small transmission equipment. The number of transmission soldiers in the Allied forces on a certain timeline is still very small until the end of the war. (Now, Wei Keng's talent is exactly this kind, and it is very strong.)

The Europeans are very adventurous. They developed paratrooper tactics during the First World War and completed many successful tactical cuts to the rear. Such benefits make them insist on developing transmission technology. Although Shenzhou has the same technical level, the culture of "a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall" makes the progress of this type of technology very slow.

But now!

Shenzhou military strategists do not have the courage to use the "Five Ghosts Moving Method" to transport troops, but they have the idea of ​​using this technology to send messages thousands of miles away, and they are very bold.

After Wei Keng successfully completed the commander test in the Mobei Military Research Base, the general and his scientific and technological personnel here have not figured out what Wei Keng's identity is.

At first, the general thought that Luoshui just found an ordinary qualified person to demonstrate the technology, and he wanted to take the initiative by taking "decisive measures". He immediately detained him on the grounds of military and national affairs.

In this way,

Master Wei Keng saw that the soldiers with live ammunition invited him to stay in the courtyard temporarily, and thought that the Shenzhou warriors had turned the world upside down? He came to demonstrate the technology, and they did business like this?

…

In the high-tech building in the Mobei camp, the technical officers pointed to the situation of Jie Hongzi on Wei Keng in the military test just now, and excitedly recorded their findings.

They are all technical people, and everyone has Sharingan.

Because the researchers in the camp are also working on related technologies, they determined at a glance that the military information transmission system sent by Luoshui may be a little advanced in electronic components, but there is no revolutionary breakthrough.

The core is that this person is very special. Military Research Officer: "Luoshui is very lucky, just screened out one in a million people."

So it is suggested that the general should not discuss business with Luoshui first, but detain this person first. Keeping people for military affairs? That's not called detaining people, this is called urgent conscription!

This little abacus is very good. If Wei Keng is an ordinary person, Luoshui may really suffer this loss.

…

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Wei Keng was still looking at the vertical version of the military recruitment book in front of him, he was thinking, "Father Hua Mulan, I received: Khan is recruiting soldiers, twelve volumes of military books, and my name is on every volume." Is this the thing?

"Ding Dong~" the electronic door opened.

The general came here accompanied by his entourage. After seeing Wei Keng, he forced a smile on his face and apologized: "Brother, misunderstanding, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect you to be the patriarch of Luoshui."

Since then, Wei Keng has realized the whole story. Of course, if the honest soldier in front of him said it was a misunderstanding, then it was a misunderstanding. Master Wei has always had a good temper and would not show his face.

Wei Keng: "Making money, business, not bad."

The Mobei Army Camp could not force Wei Keng to stay as a strong man, but did not want to let Wei Keng go. Wei Keng came here to intervene in the equipment communication hardware equipment and software supply chain of the Shenzhou Army. Even if the other party is a wolf, he must dance with it.

Then the two sides renegotiated the cooperation, and the Ministry of War gave Wei Keng a rank of Lieutenant General of the Central Army (Colonel), and Wei Keng also had to cooperate with the Ministry of War in the research and development of new battlefield communications.

The Mobei Camp seemed to have achieved the previous idea, and Wei Keng could still stay for a long time, but he could not be used like a strong man.

The Lieutenant General of the Central Army given to Wei Keng by the Ministry of War was definitely not an empty title. In the Mobei Experimental Camp, he controlled three departments (battalions).

A mechanical armor department, a heavy tank department, and an artillery assault department, with an aviation squadron.

Under the department is the division (company),

The mechanical armor department has two tank divisions and four mechanical armor soldiers. Under the organization of a tank division in this plane, there are 15 lightweight main battle tanks (Qilin main battle tanks).

The heavy tank department has four tank divisions and two mechanical armor soldiers. This tank division is equipped with ten heavy tanks (Zhurong-class heavy tanks) and two magnetic crossbow anti-aircraft vehicles.

As for the artillery assault department, there are more than 60 large and small self-propelled artillery and long-range rocket launchers.

Judging from this organization, the heavy troops held by Wei Keng, the lieutenant general, are almost an armored brigade!

The military force of the armored brigade level can only be mastered by the deputy general level in Shenzhou. The corresponding rank in Europe is brigadier general, a brigadier general with real soldiers. Of course, the rank of brigadier general can also command a mechanized infantry division (about 15,000 people). The corresponding officer of the infantry division in Shenzhou is called the commander.

In the higher rank, Shenzhou is the general. Control 30,000 to 50,000 military forces. In Europe, it is also a general, major general, and lieutenant general.

The general in charge of the command of the entire theater in Europe is the general in Shenzhou, which is the four general titles of "general, cavalry, chariot cavalry, and guard general" in the Han system.

Commander-in-chief is the limit of the initial military rank that the assistant minister of the Ministry of War of Gansu and Shaanxi in Shenzhou can give to Wei Keng. This can be further promoted, but it will take 7 or 8 years after joining the army, or if there are outstanding military achievements.

…

Regarding Wei Keng's entry into the army. It has no impact on the actual operation of Luoshui Group!

In TV dramas, capitalists are busy with the development of the entire group, as if such a large group cannot survive without him, but in fact, it is the CEO, that is, the current major shopkeepers who are busy.

As for the plot that the CEO steals the equity and then sells out the company. This is only possible in the period of free capital. In the stage of monopoly capitalism, whether in the East or the West, those who dare to have this idea are courting death!

Especially the clan system like Shenzhou!

Someone in the clan has entered the court as an official and can no longer manage the business, and then the various branches of the family rush in to take the opportunity to divide it up? There is no possibility.

Although Wei Keng was not an official in the court, and he was not influencing the central government's policies, he was a military officer in Mobei and outside Yumen Pass, which was no less than a local official in the southeast.

Many industries far outside the Great Wall can be run smoothly if they have people in the army.

Although Shenzhou does not allow private rewards to the army, military supplies must always be purchased locally, right? Food, bedding, fuel, etc., these must always be accounted for, right?

As a giant and prominent family in Guanzhong, it is too easy to output some strength to the army in this area.

The salaries of low-level military officers in Shenzhou are limited, so they slightly increase the food allowance, travel allowance and other benefits, and add meat and meals to the grassroots soldiers, and then they can be responsible for arranging work after retirement.

Wei Keng is very young and has just been a military officer, so he has plenty of time to display this "personal charm".

In the East, as long as the clan power is not swept away, combined with commercial capitalism, this situation will occur, even if the recruited people do not break the rules on the surface, do not control the finance and personnel, and do not let the soldiers sing "eat the Marshal's food, take the Marshal's money, and fight for the Marshal" after eating and receiving the salary. But the clan behind it in the local popularity and business relationship can still help it win the hearts of the people in the army.

Wei Keng has a very good relationship with people after entering the army, and of course he does impeccable work in the business!

…

Qin Tongli 2194, May.

After joining the army, Wei Keng had hundreds of "luxury cars" in his hands, and he felt itchy if he didn't let them all move. In the Pandora plane, his own tanks are not enough for his fingers.

So Wei Keng applied for a long-distance mechanized march every month, and actively signed up for various practical military exercises in the Western Desert. Then he discussed tactics with his flag sentries and generals every day.

Unmanned combat does not mean that military officers are not needed. Thinking that there are unmanned weapons, he wants to kick people aside. Obviously, he is a child who has played too many games.

Unmanned weapons only replace people to perform dangerous combat tasks, and how to perform them specifically still needs people to summarize.

This is similar to an automated factory. The robot itself cannot think about how to work, and engineers are needed to adjust it.

In each military exercise, officers and soldiers of each department must summarize practical problems, such as personnel transfer, fire cover, and various attacks in combat. For this reason, there are not enough people. Wei Keng also pulled the lecture officers into these tasks, reporting from the grassroots, and the middle-level personnel solved them locally. Every month, the high-level meetings make changes from the military system.

After seven years in the Pandora plane, Wei Keng has his own understanding of "being able to fight and fight".

If the non-commissioned officer group of the legion becomes a normal state of "no work to do", then the hierarchical authority will be maintained from top to bottom, and the old will suppress the new. Such things are the most common in colonial armies. Colonial armies have never needed the lower levels to think, just obey.

Wei Keng is quite disgusted with the colonial military style. In my previous life, I always saw a South Korean propaganda about their army in the entertainment industry, and I successfully understood the "negative teaching material" version. It helped me understand the meaning of the positive teaching material: discipline is to maintain the organization, which is true, but the organization is for victory, and what is the use of formalism that has nothing to do with victory?

Therefore, Wei Keng maintained a strict discipline under his command, which was to reward and punish attendance based on the completion of actual military exercises.

And this formal style of doing things made the relevant personnel in charge of military affairs in Mobei feel relieved: Although this gentleman of Luoshui Group was not an officer who graduated from an orthodox military academy, he was definitely not an unlearned and unskilled dandy. He could even be said to be a talent.

By the way, in Shenzhou, Wei Keng was admitted to the famous Xijing Academy based on his scores, not by shadowing. The military department of Shenzhou could not recruit such students on weekdays.

...

Of course, the yellow sand was rolling, the chariots and engines were roaring, and the bullets were flying and the targets were cracking. The process of Wei Keng's busy work was not in the attention of the above.

In the eyes of the Ministry of War: letting Wei Keng stay in the army to command the troops is a compromise made in order to allow the Technical Department to continue to develop technology.

The Technical Department does not think so. They knew from the beginning that the scale of the meso-macro phenomenon reflected by Wei Keng in super communication is so large that there is no second example.

The Technical Department screened a large number of young people and found many candidates who met the characteristics of meso-macro, but the amount of information that can be transmitted is very small. The highest talent is four orders of magnitude less than Wei Keng, which is a unit of ten thousand.

Military practical application is impossible unless the technology of electronic components can be greatly improved.

And this is not something that the Military Technology Department can accomplish! The Technical Department can only use the existing mature process indicators to develop military technology.

Improve the performance of electronic components by three orders of magnitude! This is not something that can be done by government funding, but rather requires national policies to escort the relevant industrial technology departments and ensure that the market can respond to nearly one trillion yuan in profits every year.

At present, in the Shenzhou system, Luoshui is precisely the largest supplier of electronic equipment.

So at the moment, in this newly established experimental mechanized camp, Shenzhou is being led by Wei Keng, a local tyrant, in terms of both technology and personnel.

[It's like, Russia and India jointly developed the Su-57, the Russians held the technology, and the production chain was also controlled in their own hands, India joined the cooperation, and later found out that it was just a rich man who paid for it. ]

Wei Keng did not admit at first that he was playing with Shenzhou's military department.

He emphasized to himself (hypnosis): I just successfully promoted a concept → a concept that would take more than a decade to be put into practical use. Wei Keng just got the military department to implement this concept project first, so that he could contribute to the development of Shenzhou.

Wei Keng finally couldn't bear his conscience and admitted against his will: Hey, this is a routine.

This routine was not something that an honest man like Wei Keng could come up with. Instead, it was the proposal letter left by Ke Feijia and Wei Qiang that asked him to do so.

In the parallel timeline, Wei Qiang was not as weak as Wei Keng. After selling the technology, he immediately took the initiative, but there was no script of "being under house arrest for a while".

And the reason why Wei Keng did this! Of course, Shenzhou has fallen behind. If it is not compensated, it may lose part of its national strength in the future.

…

There has been no progress in the super-time and space communication technology in Shenzhou, but in the north, Su Xiong has solved it!

They did not take the silicon-based route but the carbon-based route that took a different approach. To be more precise, they did not use nano-level technical processing methods, but the biological route.

The Soviet Union determined the route through the research and development of mental technology, activated the frontal lobe in the medium-sized macroson, and implanted the soldiers through surgery to passively obtain mental communication from a certain center.

According to the information provided by the system that Wei Keng can link to, the location of the Soviet research institute is near the mouth of the Ob River. The entire base is covered by high walls, and magnetic storm towers are deployed around it to prevent snooping from all parties. All the research inside is difficult for the outside world to explore. Only after the timeline of the Allied victory can the black research inside be discovered.

This is a technical route that Shenzhou would not have thought of.

When he joined the army before, even if Wei Keng did not have the identity of the head of the Luoshui Group, his life would not be in danger during the detention. At most, he was forced to sign a strong man agreement.

In Shenzhou!

Research in the field of military technology, all related to ethics, is closely watched by the temple literati.

No, Western purebred horses require all kinds of inbreeding, sometimes the first and second generations, and the third generation of direct mating. This kind of thing has been suppressed by the masters of science for hundreds of years. Not to mention people.

Now the Soviet Union has taken the lead in this technology, and in the original timeline, it will gain a window period of communication command technology advantage.

This window period is very short, because compared with the silicon-based route, the power of biological information transmission has an upper limit.

The route that Wei Keng has chosen now is the most difficult route, but it is also the route with the most development potential in this plane.

…

July has passed. After midsummer, Wei Keng, sitting in the underground military base in Mobei, analyzed the military exercise data.

In the simulated attack, Wei Keng prepared to add two elements, air support and short-range ballistic missile support (400 kilometers to 1,000 kilometers is short-range).

After putting down the pen, Wei Keng looked at the world map at this time, staring at Europe and Shenzhou. In the short term, it is now a technical contest between the two sides, but in the long term, it is a contest of civilization thinking.

These two civilizations are civilizations with huge historical differences. In the cycle of development, there is a regular formatting process. It's just that the focus of formatting is different.

One focuses on "etiquette" formatting, and the other focuses on "thought (morality)" formatting.

At the end of Eastern society, the rituals of all ruling classes from civilians to above were complicated. These things used to highlight solemnity, sacredness, and to maintain the social hierarchy were purged after a change of dynasty. All dynasties in Eastern history began with simplicity.

After the second millennium in the main world, even the ancient costumes and hair crowns in the core areas of Eastern civilization were not preserved. Instead, they were picked up as treasures by the surrounding historical vassal states as evidence of a long history.

Western thinking, morality, and all kinds of correctness will develop to an extremely rigid level in every period, and will not tolerate other dissent. The Middle Ages was once, and the first century of the second millennium was also once. And when all this is overwhelmed, tear everything down, and then take the most advanced technology, the coldest social management, and rush with the simplest concepts! And this will instead create a new path in practicality.

Etiquette formatting is to clear away the red tape of the past, making Eastern society like a computer system with many plug-ins missing. Then, when we enter a new era and choose new things, we will have more material and human resources to invest in the direction that we believe is correct based on our social and moral values.

Thought formatting means discarding all complex moral thinking, and then based on the most primitive sacred worship and the concept of kingly hierarchy, the victorious king re-establishes morality and order, while the wreaths that the old forces used to show their noble status will not be regarded as the things of the fallen country and burned like in the East, but will be owned by the new king.

It can be seen that the anchor points relied on by Western and Eastern civilizations in the process of inheritance are different.

One is that after losing the social order system, the lower and middle classes who inherited the cultural ideas formed a new dynasty with less social energy consumption and rebuilt the social order.

The other is that after losing the moral system, the glory of the social hierarchy system is still remembered, and finally the winner gets the gem that remembers everything and re-establishes a new moral system.

As for the dual formatting of etiquette and thought? If both the social order system and the moral thought are lost, then each time the civilization is hit hard, as the population and economy recover, it will basically become a completely different civilization. The South Asian subcontinent is such a reincarnation civilization.

Wei Keng slowly turned away from the world map: "So, these two routes have their own strengths. But~" Wei Keng clicked on the system prompts below a series of plots and sighed: "Now it's our (Eastern) turn to format the periodic law."
