This is also a feature of the US army...... Hero worship. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Heroes are of extraordinary significance to an army, a nation and even a country, because heroes can not only become role models for people, but also spiritually unite and unite the whole nation and the whole country, and this spiritual sublimation is often more important than becoming an example to learn.

The United States is well aware of this, so they have always focused on creating their own heroes and worshipping their heroes...... This has something to do with the individual heroism in the bones of Americans, and on the other hand, it is also because the United States is a multi-ethnic country, and they need to use these heroes and heroic deeds to unite and unite these people.

So they will name the airport after the hero so that future generations will remember him, such as the Hawkins airport in Tarawa, they will also use the name of a famous general to name equipment such as "Sherman" tank, "Pershing" tank, "Patton" tank, etc., and will also use the name of the president or admiral to name the aircraft carrier, such as the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier, "Ford" aircraft carrier......

Similar to the United States, China is also a multi-ethnic country, and it also needs to create heroes...... In fact, even a single nation state needs to use heroes to improve national cohesion and centripetal force, but a multi-ethnic state needs it more urgently, otherwise the contradictions between various ethnic groups are more likely to intensify.

It can even be said that China has more advantages than the United States in hero building, because China has a history of 5,000 years, and the heroes and heroic deeds precipitated by 5,000 years of Chinese culture are enough to make every Chinese learn from these heroes in a subtle way. On the other hand, the United States is only more than 200 years old, and their heroes have few deeds to learn from.

There is no doubt that these are all merits, and there is a saying that "a nation that has no heroes to worship is pitiful, and a nation that has heroes and does not know how to cherish it is pathetic." ”

A nation that has no heroes to worship will undoubtedly be relatively weak in terms of cohesion...... India is a typical example of this, India is a strange country, there is no history in Indian history, she basically has no reliable or credible history books, most of them are spread by myths, and even through the records of other countries when exploring the history of their own country, for example, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty of China went to India to learn scriptures, and China has detailed records, so India knew that there was such a thing.

Another explanation for the lack of history is that they do not value and cherish their heroes, and those heroes who have made significant contributions to the country will soon be forgotten by them and disappear into the long river of history...... As a result, the country lacks cohesion and even has a vague idea of the state.

And if you want to divide a country and make it lose its self-confidence and cohesion, the cheapest and most effective is the hero who destroys it...... As a result, on the modern Internet, there will be an overwhelming number of jokes smearing Chinese heroes, which cannot withstand scrutiny at all, and it is self-evident who is behind the scenes.

"Phew!" With a bang, just as he was thinking wildly, the jeep stopped in front of the bungalow.

Zhang Chi jumped out of the car and walked in, and saw several officers discussing something in front of the map.

Seeing Zhang Chi and the others walking in, one of the officers wearing the rank of major general raised his head and glanced at it, then looked at Zhang Chi with some incredible eyes and said, "Are you ...... Colonel Zhang Chi, commander of the new 1st Division? ”

"General!" Zhang Chi stepped forward and saluted him.

"Welcome!" The American officer shook Zhang Chi's hand and said: "Introduce myself, I am the commander of the 4th Marine Division, Jack Daniel, this is my staff officer and deputy division commander......"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Several American officers leaned over one by one to shake hands with Zhang Chi.

The Americans are still very good at this point, their officers are definitely more approachable than the Chinese officers, and if this situation is encountered in China at this time, then Zhang Chi, the colonel, must be silenced.

But that doesn't mean the U.S. officers get along well.

In the next second, Jack handed over a document and said, "Colonel, this is our training plan, you see what's wrong!" ”

Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, this was a little different from what he thought.

When he heard about the joint training with the Fourth Division of the U.S. Army, Zhang Chi knew Halsey's intentions...... In fact, this is not a joint training at all, but hopes that the Chinese troops can train the US military into a unit that can go to the battlefield to defeat the Japanese army.

This approach is obviously correct, because it can not only reduce casualties and enhance combat effectiveness for the US military, but also win the battle and win a good reputation in the international community. In fact, the Chinese troops do not suffer losses, because this means that the Chinese troops do not have to go to the battlefield one after another, and the casualties will be reduced, and at the same time, they will not be tabooed by the US military. It can be said to be a win-win situation, and at the same time, it is also a win-win situation.

And judging from Halsey's telegram, this is also the meaning, because Halsey asked Zhang Chi to make a training plan in advance...... If it is really joint training, and the other side of the joint training is still a major general, then Zhang Chi should not formulate the training plan, but should jointly formulate or even obey the command of the US military.

But now, Jack has given another training plan, which makes Zhang Chi a little puzzled.

Zhang Chi flipped through the plan casually, and couldn't help but smile a little speechlessly...... The training plan in it is all such as infantry and tank coordination, infantry and artillery coordination, and air-ground coordination.

"Any questions?" Seeing Zhang Chi's expression, Jack asked.

"General!" Zhang Chi asked, "Can I know the purpose of our joint training?" ”

Jack spread his hands and said, "Do you still need to ask?" Of course, it is through these collaborative training that we can work more closely together on the battlefield! ”

So Zhang Chi understood that this Major General Jack did not intend to let Chinese troops train the Fourth Marine Division at all, or that he really regarded this "joint training" as joint training.

What's wrong with this?

Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning...... Could it be that Halsey didn't tell Jack the purpose of this joint training?

It shouldn't be possible, after all, it's not a trivial matter.

Or...... Could I be wrong?

Of course, it won't, because this kind of training doesn't mean much to the Chinese forces or even the 4th Marine Division at all, which is not to say that the Chinese forces or the American forces have mastered these synergies well enough, but predictably...... In the future, there will not be much such synergy on the battlefield in the Pacific islands.

This is because the Japanese will not and will not be able to fight a conventional war with the United States.
