Commanding wars was somewhat metaphysical, artistic, and religious in ancient times. Many times, the commander's genius could create miracles or a disastrous defeat.

In ancient times, wars relied too much on manpower, the quality of military sources and the personal style of commanders formed vivid troops in history books, leaving too many legends.

But all this began to change after entering the industrial revolution. As technology gradually controlled the core of war, the influence of rule of man gradually narrowed.

The biggest change is the emergence of the General Staff system, and Prussia, which has carried forward this system!

After the emergence of the General Staff system, war completely changed from art to science, and everything is calculating!

The so-called General Staff System, to put it bluntly, is to gather a group of smart people who can write and calculate, and formulate various war plans and plans for choice.

The stronger the General Staff, the more huge and detailed the plans formulated.

For example, when escorting Emperor Tongzhi back to Beijing for this mission, the New Imperial Army did not have the ability to conduct staff designs, and he did not have the manpower.

Behind the entire mission is actually the deduction of nearly 100 top students from several Chinese military universities, which is why this first-level combat readiness and 26 sets of plans are obtained.

More than 100 unknown top military universities have obtained first-hand data from the CIA and the military's telegrams from the New Army, including Ma Ming and others.

Based on these data, they assess risks and develop plans, and they constantly illusions of various emergencies on the sand table.

For example, if you suddenly encounter a storm in the Taiwan Strait, then plan No. 13 will be activated. At this time, Ma Ming and the others will know where there is a safe haven. The Chinese have prepared a lot of fresh water in advance and sending a signal to ask for help.

How long will the Chinese navy arrive when seeing the signal? This plan No. 13 is a life-saving tip for you at that time.

There is also plan No. 05, and another impossible is designed here, that is, the Hunan Army rebelled and detained Emperor Tongzhi.

Under the sand table deduction, these top students from the National Defense University suddenly had a whim to determine that the radical forces in the Hunan Army, such as the Jiushang Zeng Guoquan, led the army to surround the new army and seize Emperor Tongzhi.

How did the Hunan Army mobilize troops? Who will cooperate and who will resist? Who will be the ones in the local administrative system will be the ones at both ends? What are the attitudes of foreigners?

Then plan the route of Emperor Tongzhi's escape, how to run to the Yangtze River, how to get the artillery support from British warships, and how to rush back to the Shanghai Concession.

These plans must be very detailed, because only by being prepared can you avoid any trouble!

The 26 sets of plans are not simply written by a few copies. There must be countless manpower and material mobilization behind the scenes of these plans.

If you really encounter a typhoon, you have to keep food and fresh water in advance that safe haven.

If the Hunan Army really rebels, you have to prepare a secret ammunition depot in advance!

Even if the Japanese in the capital were going to rebel, Chun Shisanniang used hundreds of thousands of silver dollars of intelligence funds. The Chinese spy network in the capital was working at full firepower!

All success is not accidental, but accumulated by the massive work before!

This is science, which allows Ma Ming and others to remain calm when encountering any emergencies, and to come up with corresponding plans to deal with them calmly.

Of course, it is impossible to have a 100% accurate general staff. This system is not a god, but also operated by humans!

However, this system does increase the chance of victory. At least in the army with medieval thinking, the general staff system is too excellent.

Can Yihuan understand the twists and turns in this? To be honest, he could not find hundreds of graduate students who are proficient in military and mathematics. The core of the general staff system is not the talent of a certain staff member.

What this system requires is to have many people, calculate a lot, and calculate everything clearly in every detail!

In the current capital, if you can find more than a hundred talents who understand algebra and geometry, Xiao Letian from the South China Sea will dare to bet on his surname to write it backwards!

He was confused, completely confused. Ma Ming didn't know how to explain these military slogans to Prince Chun. He could only shout viciously, and he suppressed the momentum of those flatterers with his voice!

"Prince! I'll just open my words! I'll ask, are you doing bad things behind the scenes and the eight banner gangsters attacking the military formation?"

"At present, the three thousand new imperial guards have been insulted and attacked by countless gangsters, and some people even rushed directly to the battlefield. I will ask you whether to care or not!"

"If you say you don't care and you can't care while you're alive, then you'll follow the rules of my new army!"

"We are in a state of war now, and the soldiers fired live ammunition! I am not responsible if the fire goes away!"

After roaring, Ma Ming turned his head and turned his head and ran back. Yihuan was stunned for a moment, not caring about pursuing his rudeness, so he quickly yelled.

"Ma Ming! Take control of the situation for me! I'll go there right away..."

There was no time to pursue the kowtow or kowtow, and if you beat Qian or Qian, Yihuan immediately suspected his brother Jian Zi.

It is not easy for a madman who dares to privately transfer the Xishan soldiers and supports the Eight Banners to discuss politics.

The fast horse chased towards Qianmen. Yihuan was walking on the alley path, so the shortest path would naturally be faster. After he jumped out of the entrance of Dashalan Hutong, Emperor Tongzhi's imperial chariot had not yet entered Qianmen Tower.

The military, civilian and officials didn't know what happened, so they saw Prince Chun Yihuan rushing into the team and pulling the Japanese Six to the side of the road.

Zaichun also saw this scene from the corner of his eyes, but he could not lose his manners in front of the people of the capital, so he said nothing.

The two princes pushed to the entrance of an alley, and the servants and servants immediately circled into a circle and protected the two princes with their backs.

"Sixth Brother! Is it the gangsters in the capital that you incited? Someone attacked the main formation of the Imperial Army!" Yihuan was sweating all over his head.

The Japanese Six said indifferently, "Bully? Brother, you underestimate me too much. No matter how bad I am, I will not use the gangster to make trouble!"

"It's really not what you did, brother?" Yihuan asked.

"What is this? Why am I lying to you? Just mobilize the Xishan soldiers to demonstrate and let Zai Chun have a better memory... Use a gangster? I can't afford to lose that person!"

"Okay, isn't it just a little gangster? Just make trouble if you make trouble. Although it wasn't my fault, it's a good idea to have this unexpected gap. Let them know that the rules of the Eight Banners are not so easy to break!"

"Let's just watch the fun!"

"Oh..." Yihuan stomped his feet, "Brother, how could you think so? Ma Ming had come to me just now, and it was clear that the new Royal Army is... what level 1 combat readiness is!"

"He said that the new army is in combat at this moment... Damn, those soldiers have live ammunition in their guns!"

Japanese Lion's eyes widened at that time, "What? Live ammunition! Is he Zaichun crazy? The team entering Beijing to parade dares to fire live ammunition!"
