Chapter 390: Dumb Gourd Squad Leader

In Sumatra, the battle between Taiwan's West Borneo Military Region and the Spaniards is still going on, and the two sides are coming and going, so lively. Since the previous rounds of fighting, the two sides have temporarily agreed to a truce. After all, more than 20,000 Spaniards were wiped out, but they didn't even touch the enemy's hair. The Taiwanese army lost more than 100 people, but they killed more than 20,000 enemies. This can be said to be a great victory. . The Spanish morale was much lower, so they were unable to continue fighting. The former enemy commander-in-chief in Taiwan felt that it was not suitable for a large-scale attack for the time being, because the current situation was immature. After all, it is hoped that the shells sent from the rear can be more fully stocked, so that they can be more confident. According to Ma Junhui's plan, he intends to use the most violent artillery fire and the fastest and longest saturated shelling to defeat these Spaniards until they have the will to resist, so that they all lose the idea of ​​​​fighting the Taiwan army. This is what the ancients said in those days that attacking the heart is the best, and it is best to subdue the enemy without fighting. After all, if it is really a hand-to-hand combat, it may not have much advantage for Taiwan's army.

Especially on the offensive side, many weapons are useless during this kind of charge. Once Taiwan's army enters the charge state, those heavy machine guns will not work. Even if the Spaniards adopt the tactics of luring the enemy to go deep, at that time, Taiwan's army will inevitably fall into a situation that the artillery cannot take care of. It would be troublesome to counterattack the Taiwan army suddenly. In fact, trench warfare is very beneficial to the defender. The defensive side has the right time and place, so in trench warfare, unless you have to, don't be the offensive side easily. Once attacked. The price paid is very high, even Taiwan must be careful. Especially the group of Western foreign devils, but they have learned the essence of Taiwan's trench warfare, and the foreign devils also used the trench warfare invented by Taiwan against Taiwan.

However, these are the things that the senior officers will have to solve next, and the ordinary soldiers are also taking their positions on the spot. Prepare for the pre-war preparations.

Inside a post in the forward position, there are some people standing guard here. About five or six people are here to guard.

"Lao Jiang, when will we attack at this time! I really hope to kill a few Spaniards. I have understood that those foreign devils are not supercilious. They still carry a head on two shoulders." Even if you get hit by a bullet, you will still die. And I just can't figure it out, why those guys in the mainland court are so scared of foreigners like a mouse, as if they dare not come when they meet foreigners Is it hard? I know now that once you are stronger than the foreign devils, they will still lose. And now we have the Japanese devils, the Dutch devils, and now the Spanish devils. These devils are all defeated by us It's so fun to beat the **** out of me. I really don't understand why those big shots in the country are like this?" said a soldier.

The old Jiang immediately said: "I don't know so much. Those guys in the country have really lost face among us. Look at us, beat the foreign devils so embarrassingly, but they still kneel and lick the foreign devils. It's really unreasonable. Really. I hope that our lord Wang can enter the mainland as soon as possible, and then abolish that little emperor, so that we can all be heroes from the dragon!"

"Hmm!" A person suddenly coughed deliberately.

And that old Jiang immediately said: "Don't talk about it. The boring gourd has spoken, and he seems to plan for us to talk about it. I really don't know why. This boring gourd seems to be very disgusted with us talking about this topic!"

"Hey, this big gourd is really real. We can't just say a few words? This guy is still our squad leader. He can't beat a fart with a stick! Usually he is taciturn, and he only talks a few times. In other words, besides fighting is fighting, it is really unlucky to have this kind of squad leader. However, it seems that I heard that in our Taiwanese army, many squad leaders are like this, which is really depressing."

And these soldiers don't know at all that these "stuffy gourds" are actually clones one by one. Their normal thinking is used for fighting, and other emotional systems have nothing to do with it. And their so-called survival value is to fight, and they have very strict requirements on soldiers, and they are unsmiling. They never joke with ordinary soldiers, which is very depressing. And these clones are the most tragic. Many of their soldiers have been promoted to become officers, but many of them have sent away batch after batch of soldiers, and many soldiers either died or were promoted. Many of them have become their bosses. But they still stay here as ordinary monitors, and have never been promoted.

And many officers were complaining about them, but under Wang Guorui's suppression, such voices became less and less. Of course, Wang Guorui also adjusted the platoon leaders of these clone squads in many cases, and then asked them to bring different soldiers with them, so that they were recruits every time, so that the soldiers would not cause trouble for them. And these clones are the core of combat effectiveness, and they have cultivated batch after batch of natural officers. It can be said that they are the mother of the army and the real foundation for maintaining combat effectiveness. If Wang Guorui did not have this red police system, it would probably take him decades to build such a team of grassroots non-commissioned officers. If it really takes decades, let alone build a powerful country, even Taiwan can't hold it!

Therefore, Wang Guorui's biggest profit is not only the weapons produced in the Red Police base, but also the almost endless number of grassroots Red Police non-commissioned officers who can cultivate a large number of soldiers and maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops. And it can make soldiers go on the road of officers continuously, so they are the most precious wealth. And equipment is second, and talent is the most important. The inheritance of an army takes a long time, even a century-old navy. In fact, it means that it took a hundred years to establish a qualified naval non-commissioned officer system, and now Wang Guorui can obtain the non-commissioned officer system out of thin air, whether it is the army or the navy. This is the basis for Wang Guorui to quickly expand his troops. As for the weapon, that's not a thing at all. Weapons can be solved as long as you have money, but the problem of talents cannot be solved with money, it must be solved through time, and Wang Guorui directly skipped the stage of talent accumulation and training, and directly obtained such a powerful non-commissioned officer system. This is simply a lot of money.

"Tell me, why does this boring gourd dislike us so much that we want to support Mr. Wang as emperor?" Someone asked in a low voice.

The old Jiang said helplessly: "I don't know, many people in the army are also talking about it. These squad leaders seem to dislike their soldiers talking about supporting Lord Wang as the emperor."

"Don't I, Lord Wang, not want to be the emperor?" someone asked again.

"I do not know!"

And they didn't know that it was actually arranged by Wang Guorui through the Red Police system for those Red Police soldiers to exclude them from talking about this topic. If those soldiers talked about supporting Wang Guorui as emperor, those Red Police soldiers would cough twice on purpose, telling them not to talk about this topic. The reason why these people are not allowed to talk about these topics is not that Wang Guorui doesn't want to be emperor, but because he doesn't want these soldiers to interfere in politics. After all, if the army intervenes in politics, things will be very serious, and it will have a warlord mentality.

Just like the Japanese army later, their troops interfered in politics again and again, and even later emptied the government and let the soldiers manage the country. And in this way, warlords are formed one by one, which is completely destroying the military system~lightnovelpub.net~ And once the army intervenes in politics, it will inevitably lead to militarism, and it will inevitably go on endless roads path of expansion. Of course, it's not that Wang Guorui doesn't want to expand, but expansion also needs to pay attention to methods. If there is endless expansion and blind expansion without a plan, it will inevitably fail. Why since ancient times, whether it is China or foreign countries, have advocated civil servants to govern, this is not simply to attack the military, but has his political wisdom. If the military controls the state apparatus, then those soldiers will definitely launch expansionary wars in order to gain honor, wealth, promotion and social status, even if there is no war, there will be wars. At that time, let's not talk about whether we can win, even if we win, what can the people of the country bring? War is for the better life of the people, not for the sake of war. If war is fought purely for the sake of war, then no matter how powerful a country is, it will perish. Wars must be restrained and have precise goals, and it is not possible to simply let the soldiers control the government and then fight for the sake of war.

Don't look at it as just a matter of discussing Wang Guorui's entry into the mainland as emperor, but this is a huge political issue, not just a military issue. In order to plug the gap for the military to intervene in politics in a timely manner, these Red Police soldiers must be reminded at any time not to talk nonsense. This is like a levee. If the ant nest is not cleared from the source, it may eventually cause the entire dam to collapse. If the possibility of the military interfering in politics is not blocked now, there will definitely be a lot of situations like Japan in the future, which Wang Guorui absolutely cannot allow.
