Chapter 115 Why are you fighting?
"I don't think so. An army must be disciplined. Subordinates should absolutely obey superiors, and natural hierarchy order must be clearly divided. In my eyes, there is no soldier from any place, only soldiers with good grades and bad grades, and only soldiers with good grades can be promoted."
Cai E determined that the strong combat effectiveness of Japanese soldiers comes from their strict hierarchy and training. In the Japanese army, it is normal for superiors to beat and scold subordinates, and absolute obedience is the basis of military discipline. This is the first thing to be investigated for military discipline training.
Therefore, he did not think that the instructors and students from Hunan were domineering, but that the students from Guangxi were not in the right position.
General Cai, it is necessary to train a team of military discipline, and we have done this before. But I think that if a unit wants to truly develop combat effectiveness, it is necessary to let every soldier know why he is fighting, rather than treating them as cannon fodder on the battlefield."
Lu Yongzhi brought out Mao Runzhi's military theory, which was the fundamental reason why the very weak army could grow rapidly in just a few years and defeat Chiang Kai-shek, the behemoth.
E laughed at this: "Why are wars? Hunanese people know best about this. If they don't participate in Xiangyong to wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, where can they get the capital for studying? For farmers who have just put down their hoes and walked out of the fields, they naturally want to earn a fortune. They can also ask everyone to be like intellectuals who have no worries about food and clothing, for the nation and the country?"
"You have been in a Japanese non-commissioned officer school. You should know why the Japanese fight for. They have been inculcated to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. This is their belief. It is not enough to have faith alone. It is also a spirit of Bushido to cultivate personal martial arts."
Cai E nodded: "I admit that the troops that have always believed in are the most combat-oriented, but the Japanese are still different from us. They are generally of higher education. It is natural to say that they can talk about faith with educated people."
If you don’t want to continue discussing the issue of faith, what should you believe now? Who can propose faith now? Only by standing on the basis of the vast majority of farmers and drawing the future for their future is the belief that can be supported by them.
One key point is that only Mao Runzhi can find out, and only according to his thoughts can we mobilize the largest peasant team in Chinese society.
Now we talk about faith with the peasants and propose that we want to overthrow the Qing Dynasty, it is better to say that only by rebelling can we make a fortune and be more touching.
"Although we are different from the Japanese, we do not have a single emperor who can be loyal to us. But our leaders can at least be like Li Guang of the Han Dynasty, love soldiers as if they were the same as the soldiers, and the officers and soldiers were united, so that at least they could return the soldiers." Cai
E was a well-read man. He knew that Li Guang of Han poured his last pot of wine into the spring and drank it with everyone, which means that everyone is blessed and difficult to share, and exchanged soldiers who are in charge of their lives.
"The officers and soldiers are consistent and equal. This is just a theoretical statement, but it is actually difficult to work. I insist that as long as the soldiers master combat skills, they will thank the benefits of strict training. Don't worry, I will pay attention to the questions you raised by Mr. Lu. I will write a report to report to Lord Cen in person."
E has his own confidence in the military reorganization plan, and he does not take the conflict between the two provinces too seriously.
He looked at his disapproving expression and knew that his persuasion was useless. He knew that several years later, due to the examination results of the martial arts school students, most of the Guangxi students failed, which triggered a campaign to expel Cai E. The students made a fuss. Later, the Advisory Council was established and the members of the Tongmenghui took the opportunity to incite, and Cai E was dismissed.
It was this movement to expel Cai E that provided an opportunity for Cai E. He went to the Yunnan Martial Arts Hall and led the vigorous anti-Yuan movement, which made him the reputation of recreating the first person in the Republic.
"Mr. Lu, I will accompany you to the school to see the students' life training." Cai E didn't know when he changed the title of Chief Lu to Mr. Lu, which is probably a recognition of the military theory that Lu Yongzhi said."
OK, Mr. Songpo.” Lu Yongzhi also changed his name in real time, bringing the two closer together.
Preparation School is a school where officers are trained for short-term training. He recruited officers from the original Green Camp, Patrol Camp and the new army trained later. He had basic courses such as Chinese, foreign languages, mathematics, artillery, tactics, surveying and mapping and other military courses.
Foreign language teachers are particularly strong, with foreign teachers hired from outside German, English, Japanese, French, etc., and they usually choose one of the four foreign languages.
There are even several Japanese military instructors among the military instructors.
This was the first time Lu Yongzhi learned about the teaching situation in the officers' schools, and he couldn't help but be amazed. At the beginning of the 19th century, Chinese people had already attached importance to foreign language learning to such an extent that cultural exchanges between China and the West were much more progressive than they imagined.
Most of the officer schools in various provinces follow the Japanese military training method, and Japanese military teachers directly teach Chinese officers. This has caused a great tactical disadvantage when facing the Japanese invading army in the future: the tactical application we know is taught by the Japanese, and they all know what you want to do. How can students fight against teachers?
Mr. Songpo, now all local officer schools have Japanese military training methods. Have you noticed hidden dangers?" Lu Yongzhi said as he looked at the Japanese officer commanding training on the playground.
"Those who have participated in the Russo-Japanese War. A small island country in Japan, after the Meiji Restoration, dared to fight with an old empire like Russia. There are so many things worth learning from."
Cai E sighed.
"How can you let others snore by your bed? Nowadays, China is a weak country, and anyone dares to rush over and take a bite. One day, when the country is unified and begins to move towards a powerful road, the Japanese will not let it go."
Cai E was stunned: "You mean, there must be a war between China and Japan, but our army has been defeated before the battle?"
"Only by knowing your enemy and being able to win a hundred battles, the problem is our background. The Japanese can understand clearly, and they have reservations about us." Cai
E nodded again: "The Japanese are indeed guarding against us. We study in Japanese non-commissioned officers' schools and one year we have to intern in the Japanese army. But the Japanese's truly advanced tactics, such as the coordination of infantry and artillery, are not allowed to be observed by Chinese students."
In the future, officers should be selected to study abroad, and we should focus on going to Europe and the United States, and we should also organize a large number of talents to translate the world's military trends, actively master the most advanced tactics and weapon development trends."
He said to himself."
General Cai, Mr. Lu. I saw you from afar, it was really you." Feng Hu and two other students ran over, first saluted Cai E, and greeted Lu Yongzhi enthusiastically. The two students were also from Jianzi camp, and were selected by Guan Wuming to learn.
"Fenghu, it turns out that he had fought a war with me on the border. He was very calm and good at using his brain. I remember that the first time he fought with the French, he captured twenty-three French soldiers in his team."
Lu Yongzhi seized the opportunity to push Feng Hu to Cai E. Sure enough, a few words aroused Cai E's strong interest.
After asking Feng Hu about his resume, he was studying, and remembered the information in his heart. Lu Yongzhi was just a small accidental action, but unexpectedly, the situation of warlord separatism in the entire southwest changed later.
Fenghu emerged!
