Chapter 852: Offering Ugliness
The conference room of the director's department.
Xiang Qiangjun crossed his hands in front of his chest, and his eyes swept over the cadres of the W Brigade and the T Brigade one by one.
Although the review is one of the two brigades, only cadres at or above the regimental level such as the deputy chief of staff can participate.
But because both brigades have several composite battalions.
And the battalion commanders of the synthetic battalion are almost all high-quality deputy regimental level.
Therefore, in the position of the lower head, there were several battalion commanders of both brigades.
If we say that the brigade level of our army is the most basic combat unit.
Then the battalion level is the most basic combat unit.
Compared with the two brigade commanders, Su Qiyue and Fan Yingming, Xiang Qiangjun pays more attention to these battalion commanders who directly lead a basic combat unit.
After all, when they really go to the battlefield, they are the commanders and fighters who charge into battle and carry out the orders of their superiors.
The battalion commanders of several synthetic battalions had different expressions at this time.
On the W Brigade side, there is no need to say much.
The three battalion commanders who attended the meeting had obvious joy on their faces.
Obviously, they were very satisfied with the exercise that had just ended.
As for the T Brigade, the situation is a little more complicated.
The commanders of two synthetic battalions showed a look of annoyance, and the other was thoughtful.
His eyes wandered around these deputy regiment-level cadres, and he finally looked at Tang Long at Qiangjun.
Tang Long, the lieutenant colonel, chief of the operations section, has not yet served as the deputy chief of staff of the T brigade.
However, its level has been determined to be the deputy regimental level.
Xiang Qiangjun was very familiar with Tang Long.
When the T Brigade was established, it was he who strongly advocated that Tang Long follow Fan Yingming to open up new troops.
Tang Long didn't know that Deputy Chief of Staff Xiang was observing him at this time.
His gaze was completely fixed on the young brigade commander opposite.
As for the unsuccessful outcome of this battle, Tang Long had already guessed it after the blue "Fire Phoenix Commando" suddenly infiltrated.
As a "fallen man", after being transported to the director's department, he also inquired about some information from the director's department.
For example, he heard about the blue side's region-wide cyber blockade and the simultaneous all-out offensive by four or five combat units.
But how exactly did the blue side accomplish this, Tang Long still hasn't figured it out.
At this time, he was finally able to sit at a table with Su Qiyue, who initiated all this, and of course he wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
His gaze stayed on Tang Long for a moment, and Xiang Qiangjun finally spoke.
"Three days of exercise, one day ~ no, half a day is over."
Looking around, he said in a calm tone, "I should thank you all for saving a lot of time for the comrades in the director's department and saving them two days less busy." It also leaves me as the deputy chief of staff enough time to think......"
Listening to Xiang Xiang's sneering words to the deputy chief of staff, the muscles on Jiao Shouzhi's face trembled twice.
He was not a fool, and of course he heard the utter dissatisfaction in the words to the deputy chief of staff.
As the victorious side of this exercise, this dissatisfaction of the chief could not have been directed at the W Brigade.
Then the object of his accusation can only be his own T Brigade.
But Jiao Shouzhi was extremely unconvinced by the defeat just now.
According to the normal line of thought of the exercise, unless there is a special explanation, it should be a truce after 8 p.m., and neither side should conduct any more military operations.
This is not difficult to understand, after all, the exercise is a consideration of the subordinate units of the higher units, and it is targeted.
If the rules are not set, the result will evolve into a fierce battle and a fatigue war.
Both sides of the opposing side will send troops to harass them incessantly.
In this way, the main points examined in the exercise were completely obscured.
However, in this past exercise, the Blue W Brigade completely abandoned the rules of the past.
Not only did they launch infiltration operations at night, but they also launched a large-scale assault on the offensive that followed.
Such an obvious violation of the law made Jiao Shouzhi very unconvinced.
In his opinion, even if he wins in July of the Blue Side, the leaders should also point this out and warn him when they replay.
But now looking at the attitude of the deputy chief of staff, he doesn't seem to think that there is anything wrong with this kid Su Qiyue, which makes Jiao Shouzhi very puzzled.
Perhaps because his angry expression was too conspicuous, Jiao Shouzhi was soon named to the deputy chief of staff.
"Jiao Shouzhi, you seem to have something to say?"
Seeing the burning gaze shot at the deputy chief of staff, Jiao Shouzhi gritted his teeth and nodded in response.
Xiang Qiangjun stretched out his hand disapprovingly: "Since this is the case, then you can tell me your opinion first." ”
"Yes!"
Jiao Shouzhi stood up without giving in, and his gaze swept directly to Su Qiyue, who was in second place in the opposite row.
"My point of view is that our T Brigade lost this battle really unexplained and unjust. It's not fair that we have to suffer the pain of defeat even though the blue side has committed a serious breach first. ”
After Jiao Shouzhi said this, Fan Yingming, who was sitting above him, changed his face.
After being sent here by the people from the director's department before, he was silently watching the situation on the battlefield the whole time.
For Jiao Shouzhi's chattering complaints, he has not paid much attention to it.
Originally, Fan Yingming thought that if this guy complained a few words, he would be able to stop, realize his shortcomings compared to the other party, and be ashamed and brave.
But now it seems that Jiao Shouzhi is simply a fool.
Before this exercise, the director department clearly pointed out that this exercise was a contest of modern digital warfare that simulated actual combat.
As long as new technologies and new means can be used, both sides can play freely.
And the blue side also seized this point and used a new cyber sabotage method to make its own T Brigade suffer a big loss.
For the loss, Fan Yingming is of course sad.
But through defeat, it is more important to find out your own shortcomings.
When he was reflecting just now, he had already thought of a few main points, and he was ready to summarize them when he went back to the meeting.
Unexpectedly, at this juncture, Jiao Shouzhi jumped out and made nonsense to several leaders.
His words clearly set out several reasons for not admitting defeat, but none of them stood up.
First of all, the talk of a truce at night during the exercises, that is already an old calendar.
In the past two years, with the rapid development of digital technology and computer technology, raids and infiltrations at night have gradually become a routine means of exercise.
Jiao Shouzhi thought that the W Brigade should abide by this rule and stay in their own position at night.
This alone was enough to slap the chiefs to death.
When Fan Yingming secretly complained, Jiao Shouzhi's speech continued.
"There is also the general attack launched by the blue side in the end, which has not been recognized by the director department at all, and it is the arbitrary proposition of the general staff of the blue side."
"Launching an all-out attack without our preparedness is simply a way to win."
When Jiao Shouzhi said this, his eyes never took his eyes off Su Qiyue's body.
Obviously, the main object of his accusation at this time is the acting brigade commander of the W brigade.
In the face of his barrage of doubts, Su Qiyue did not react at all.
His calm expression seemed as if he heard a fly buzzing, rather than a deputy brigade commander on the opposite side accusing himself.
Compared with Su Qiyue's indifference, the other cadres of the W Brigade were not so calm.
Political Commissar Qiao Songlin and Deputy Political Commissar and Director of the Political Department Cai Guohua were all covered with frost on their faces.
Zhao Hai, the deputy brigade commander who was sitting directly opposite Jiao Shouzhi, glared at the other party.
The only one who has a relaxed attitude is Chief of Staff Li Ruifeng.
After all, he had just been promoted not long ago, and even if he was very dissatisfied with Jiao Shouzhi, the veteran deputy brigade commander and chief of staff, it would not be too obvious.
After a period of silence, Xiang Qiangjun squinted at Jiao Shouzhi.
"Are you all done?"
Jiao Shouzhi was stunned for a moment, and nodded stupidly: "Yes......"
Xiang Qiangjun stretched out his hand and pressed it down, motioning for him to sit down.
Then, the big man's eyes turned to Fan Yingming.
"Brigade Commander Fan, what is your opinion on your deputy's opinion? Do you also think that the Blue W Brigade is a victory for them? ”
Listening to Xiang Qiangjun's question, Fan Yingming hurriedly stood up and explained.
"Chief, losing is losing, there is no excuse!"
"In this battle, our T Brigade was not prepared, and underestimated the progress of the W Brigade in network and digital technology. It is no exaggeration to say that we are lagging behind others in all aspects. ”
Speaking of this, Fan Yingming's gaze swept to the young man opposite him.
"Brigade Commander Su and comrades of Brigade W, we do not have the advanced concept of digital combat of aircraft in the 21st century. Give us the T Brigade a good lesson! ”
When Fan Yingming said this, Jiao Shouzhi's mouth next to him was so open that he could almost swallow an elephant.
Looking at his expression, it was as if he had seen a ghost.
Other cadres of the T Brigade were also puzzled.
Only Tang Long and Qiu Jieru, the leader of the information squadron who were present, did not change much.
Obviously, the two of them fully agreed with Brigade Commander Fan's opinion.
After Fan Yingming's words came out, Xiang Qiangjun's expression looked a little better.
He bowed his head slightly and motioned for Fan Yingming to sit down.
Then, the big man's gaze turned to Jiao Shouzhi, who had completely lost his mind.
"Brigade Commander Fan can say this, which proves that the leader of the T Brigade is not completely dizzy, and there is medicine to save ......"
Xiang Xiang's words to the deputy chief of staff can be said to be very sharp, and he didn't save face for Jiao Shouzhi at all.
Jiao Shouzhi, who was criticized, suddenly turned red and red.
But that's not all.
reprimanded Jiao Shouzhi directly, and continued to ask him questions to Qiangjun.
"Comrade Jiao Shouzhi, I want to ask you, what is digital warfare? How much do you really know about digital warfare? ”
was questioned by the deputy chief of staff in front of so many people, Jiao Shouzhi felt a little hairy in his heart.
Deputy Chief of Staff Xiang has always been known for being approachable in the military region.
It is rare to have such harsh criticism of subordinates.
When he said such heavy words today, it was obvious that he had touched the scales of this person.
Thinking of his frivolous speech just now, Jiao Shouzhi really regretted it.
"I remind everyone, I remind our cadres, that digital warfare and our understanding of war in the past are completely two different concepts."
Xiang Qiangjun said with a solemn face: "Since the 90s of the last century, the Gulf War, the Science and Technology War, and the Iraq War, these local conflicts, have long unveiled the essence of digital warfare. ”
"But some of our comrades don't seem to take it seriously at all, and they still think that digitalization is a slogan. Or rather, I didn't take it to heart at all! ”
His eyes swept to Jiao Shouzhi, and he said sternly to Qiangjun: "Comrade Jiao Shouzhi, let me ask you, if today is the real battlefield, after the infiltration and decapitation of the blue side, do you think you still have a chance to speak here?" ”
"I ......"
Jiao Shouzhi was stunned, trying to distinguish something, but he didn't know how to say it.
Xiang Qiangjun ignored his reaction and continued: "Saying that the blue side violated the rules, what rules were violated? Did they use a certain type of prohibited weapon, or did they violate the Geneva Conventions? ”
"If there is none, then in this war, your T Brigade will be a big defeat!"
After Xiang Qiangjun's words, the cadres of the T Brigade were suddenly silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little too stiff, Du Minsheng coughed and played a round.
"Yes, Comrade Shouzhi. We have always stressed that exercises are actual combat. If you make a mistake, you must admit it, and if you are beaten, you must stand upright! ”
"Making excuses when you lose, this is not what a qualified deputy general staff officer should do."
Listening to Minister Du's persuasion, Jiao Shouzhi nodded again and again like a chicken pecking rice.
Seeing this "thorn" Jiao Shouzhi finally realized his mistake, Xiang Qiangjun set his sights on the W Brigade.
"For the next review, I propose to let the commander of the W Brigade Su give a lecture!"
Xiang Qiangjun stretched out his hand and made a gesture to Su Qiyue, and said seriously: "July, just now at the headquarters of your W Brigade, in order not to affect your command of the front-line battle situation, we didn't ask you about many details. Now, you can take them all out and talk about them. ”
Su Qiyue was slightly stunned, and then came to his senses.
Needless to say, Xiang Deputy Chief of Staff is forcing himself to "make a fool" today.
He let himself make the details obviously just a pretense, and what he really wants to promote to everyone is the understanding of digital warfare.
Of course, for Su Qiyue, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to share his experience with everyone.
The chief let himself say it, so let's talk about it.
After making up his mind, Su Qiyue calmly began his own story.
"First of all, I want to say that our W Brigade has a certain advantage in equipment during this exercise. Especially when it comes to the chain of command, we are even more. ”
Hearing this, the cadres of the T Brigade, including Fan Yingming, all showed a look of surprise on their faces.
After a slight pause, Su Qiyue continued his story.
"In this combat exercise, each of the main battalions of our W brigade has two command vehicles. Each command vehicle is equipped with a laptop, and their networks are all connected. ”
"The warfighter selects the observation data from the screen of the computer, or from the display installed in the vehicle."
"The computer on every command vehicle can receive intelligence from satellites, drones, reconnaissance planes and other sources. In addition, this information will be pooled at the command and then transmitted downwards. ”
Stretched out his finger and pointed to the frozen picture on the big screen, where the "Fire Phoenix Commando" was carrying out a decapitation operation.
Su Qiyue pointed to the picture and said something eloquently.
