The Weapon Tycoon Who Traveled to Great Qin

"Yes." Shang Wen said.

"Mr. Wei Liao thought timely." Shang Wen said.

"I have an idea." Shang Wen immediately thought of something he had planned for a long time in his mind, that is, a modern military academy. With military academies, it is possible to train military commanders on a large scale. Moreover, with these officers. The backbone of the army can be established.

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

"Establish military academies. To train these officers." Shang Wen said.

"Military academies?" Wei Liao said.

"En. With military academies, we can promptly train military commanders who can keep up with the times. In the past, our officer training was gradually trained from the grassroots in the war. These officers rely on the right The senses facing the war directly form his own command style. 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 can be built, but the future army building is vague. They can adapt to war, but they cannot predict the war mode ahead of time.” Shang Wen reminded.

"En. Mr. Qin keep on talking." Wei Liao's hands trembled a little, and he seemed very excited.

"Such a commander can only be said to be a good commander, but not a good commander of the army. Although it is our civilian officials who control the overall direction of the army." Shang Wen said. In the Qin Dynasty, the post of Guowei was similar to the current Minister of Defense. But it is a civil servant who holds this position. That is to say, in ancient times, there has been a case of civilians in charge of military commanders.

"But the actual implementation is a matter for the generals." Shang Wen emphasized. In fact, it is true. For example, when Roosevelt was Secretary of the Navy, he was aware of the importance of the navy, but the specific changes in the military were those specific officers who participated in it and could appreciate the changes in weapons. With this change, they could play their own role. Phenomenal force, put forward some advanced consciousness. What the literati does is to mediate among politicians. What they say is to 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. Required. First of all, our officers’ knowledge level is very low. Many of them still don’t understand words. For example, those centurions and garrisons, these officers are already at the level of basic-level officers, but what I have learned is that Many of them still don’t know how to read. It’s very troublesome to command in this way,” Shang Wen said.

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

"That's right. That's right." Wei Liao said.

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

"Furthermore, we have also begun to take the initiative to train officers, from the original officers who grew up in the war to take the initiative to train officers. Moreover, these officers return to the military academy to teach the next generation of officers trainees after they have studied in the war again. We can have a steady stream of officers to supplement." Shang Wen said.

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

"The other thing is, those sergeant chiefs you mentioned must also be trained." Wei Liao suggested.

"Well, it is very correct. For example, artillery and muskets. These sergeants are the backbone of the grassroots in the army. They are equivalent to elites. They are rich in combat experience. After special training, these sergeants can perform better than before. A doubled improvement. If the officers are the bones of the army, then these sergeants are the nerves of the army. With these nerves, they will tightly link the fleshy bodies of the army at the end." Shang Wen said.

"Yes, yes. That's right." It was the first time that Wei Liao heard such remarks, and couldn't help feeling 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." Shang Wen said.

"Well, there are so many places where the army is currently concentrated, Lantian, the border between Qin and Zhao. 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 group sent to the country of Yan." Wei Liao continued.

"Yes. It's up to them." Shang Wen said.

"The training is for junior officers. They can only serve as platoon commanders. 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.

"Right, there is another key point. That is the treatment of these officers." Wei Liao directly said the final key point among the officers.

"Not only the treatment of the officers, but also the merits of the officers." Wei Liao said.

"Well, this must be changed. Recording the merits of the officers depends on the recommendation of our superior officers. The second is the evaluation of our staff. The third is the officer review team. Regarding the treatment, after the original military service system is cancelled, follow the rules. The ranks of the officers are divided, such as housing, clothing, food, housing, transportation and treatment. They can also be promoted. This also requires the same way of crediting merits." Shang Wen said.

"For the training of sergeants, the best time is short, preferably within two months. And it must be technically targeted. For soldiers to be promoted to officers, it is also the same method of military merit, but it must be studied by military academies. "Shang Wen said.

"Right. Mr. Qin, what's the matter with the staff officer you mentioned?" Wei Liao said.

"A staff member is equivalent to a military division, but not one, but a group. The staff member is responsible for formulating the marching route and countermeasures for the decision of the chief military officer. The general staff members have a chief of staff who is responsible for issuing specific orders, but The decision-making power is still with the commander. It is just to relieve the pressure on the chief military officer." Shang Wen said.

"Good, good. What a military staff officer."
