Chapter 514 It's Hard To Be A Man
Early the next morning, Zuo Zhong sat in the classroom of the higher education class of the Army University, staring blankly at the instructor and the five characters of military intelligence on the blackboard, and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

who I am.

where am I.

what am i doing.

Why does he know every word the instructor said, but he can't understand it together, but the old brothers next to him are writing hard and nodding. Could it be that he is really a scumbag?
"The research scope of military intelligence is the enemy's military thinking, strategic policy, operational intentions, establishment, equipment, deployment, important military figures, and military information such as important geographical records."

Just when he doubted his life, the 50-year-old instructor talked about the learning objectives of the subject, then suddenly raised the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and asked a question with a smile.

"In addition, the training quality and combat characteristics of the enemy army are also the key points we need to pay attention to. Zuozhong student, you are from the intelligence department. It is up to you to talk about the actual application of this subject."

Zuo Zhong's heart skipped a beat. This old man is very bad. He was brought over by the secretary of Zhang Wenbai, the dean of education of Lu University, and the other party's eyes were wrong. Now he's in big trouble.

He was a little psychologically prepared for the instructor to take him under the knife. The qualification review and examination admission of students in the higher education class were very strict. An army could only select two students, a maximum of three.

There is also a special student who is admitted to school with a bald head. Except for the "imperial approval", the personnel selected by any other agency need to go through the formalities and must be approved by the head teacher.

Not only the instructors dislike him, but the students also have great opinions on the relationship between him who intervenes halfway. Since he came in, these dudes who look like academic masters have become very indifferent.

But hiding is impossible, Zuo Zhong got up slowly and said: "Report to the instructor, the work of the department the students belong to is very special in nature, and the degree of secrecy is very high. Many tasks are only responsible to the leader alone."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present changed. This kid is really tough. He dared to use this kind of words to prevaricate the instructor. No wonder he was able to enter the school halfway.

The instructors didn't react too much. It's the worst situation for these old people of the Baoshi Military Academy to be assigned to teach. The chairman of the committee can't kill them all, so let's drive them back to their hometown.

It's just that this kid is a bit interesting. When others go through the back door, they always cover up, but he said it openly. It seems that he has real skills, or he is a great mallet, which is a bit interesting.

Besides, Zuo Zhong on the stage observed the people with different expressions after pulling off the tiger skin, and felt extremely calm in his heart. Of course, he had to reveal his background, which is not something shameful.

Besides, I came to the mainland to gain a diploma, and I am not interested in pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Pretending to be low-key is asking for trouble. It is better to show your cards directly, which can save a lot of unnecessary troubles.

Just like the current situation, if these elites in the army are not restrained, no matter what he says later, some people will definitely oppose it for the sake of opposition, and thus lose the meaning of discussion.

Don't forget that the students in the higher educational administration class are basically from the front-line troops, and they will definitely participate in the war against Japan in the future. If they can calm down and learn more intelligence knowledge, it will be beneficial to the country.

So he waited for a while, then changed the topic: "However, there are still some things that can be said, and I will use the Japanese army's movement in the disappearance of the Japanese vice-consul in Jinling Hideaki Miyamoto as an example.

A few days before Miyamoto's disappearance, a captain of the Japanese Guards Division published a notice in the newspaper to postpone the wedding. This situation is very abnormal, indicating that the Japanese army has begun emergency mobilization.

At the same time, the Japanese Kwantung Army in Northeast China, the so-called Chinese Garrison in Jinmen, the Special Marine Corps in Shanghai, and the Third Fleet also carried out partial mobilization. "

Hearing this, the instructors and students recalled the situation at that time, and their faces were very ugly. The capital was hit on the forehead by naval guns from other countries. This is a great shame for a soldier.

Zuo Zhong also said in a low tone: "By collecting these scattered military intelligence, we can deduce the strategic intention of the Japanese, that is, they want to fight an all-out war with the Republic of China.

According to my analysis, after the start of the Sino-Japanese War, the Kwantung Army and the Chinese Garrison Army will use Beiping and Jinmen as battlefields to hold back our troops in the north. The real breakthrough must be Shanghai. "

"Your basis?"

The old instructor asked seriously, although this is a classroom, not a strategic meeting of the military committee, but the military affairs of the country must be investigated, and there must be sufficient evidence for anything to be said.

Zuo Zhong nodded when he heard the words: "There is a reason for the students to say that. I don't know if anyone here is from the military supply department or the Navy Department. Zuo has a few questions I want to ask for advice."

"I."

Before the words were finished, a young officer in the uniform of a major stood up and said with a little pride: "Your Majesty, Lin Jing from the Quartermaster Department of the Admiralty, once studied at the Royal Naval Academy in Greenwich, England."

He is indeed qualified to be proud. The Greenwich Royal Naval Academy is the most famous naval academy in the world, specializing in senior and mid-level command officers and technical officers. Every graduate is an elite.

Zuo Zhong didn't care about the attitude of the other party, and smiled: "It turns out that he is a high-achieving student studying in the UK. I want to ask Major Lin how to preserve the navy's equipment and ammunition, what is the price, and the service life."

Hearing these questions, the man who called himself Lin Jing frowned, and replied: "Equipment, accessories, and spare parts are stored in ordinary warehouses, and ammunition and dangerous goods are stored in special ammunition warehouses.

Ordinary warehouses have nothing to say, they just need to be clean and dry, special ammunition warehouses have more requirements, moisture-proof, explosion-proof, vandal-proof, and keep away from vulnerable locations as much as possible.

The reason for this is that the destructive power of naval artillery shells and propellants is much greater than that of army artillery ammunition. If an explosion occurs, it will easily spread to the surrounding area, and absolute safety must be ensured.

As for the price and validity period of equipment and ammunition, taking the light destroyer Ninghai as an example, the life of a single barrel of the 5.5-inch main gun is 350 rounds of high-explosive shells and 280 to 300 rounds of armor-piercing shells.

The price of each gun barrel is about 10 oceans, 100 oceans per high-explosive shell, 150 oceans per armor-piercing shell, and 150 oceans per propellant. As long as the environment is suitable, there is no problem in storing it for 20 years. "

Lin Jing answered the questions in one breath and provided specific data. It can be seen that he is very dedicated to his job. No wonder he became a major at a young age and was recommended to higher education classes.

"Thank you, Major Lin."

Zuo Zhong thanked politely, then looked at the confused students and instructors: "From Major Lin's introduction, we know that maintaining naval ships is a costly job.

So why did the Japanese arrange the garrison of the Third Fleet in Shanghai? Apart from other things, just building warehouses and other basic buildings on land costs a lot of money.

If it is to control the coastline, it is enough to have the ports of Lushun and Xiaoliuqiu. The two places, one south and one north, can completely block off the coastal waters, and there is no need to start anew in Shanghai.

In addition, when the Miyamoto incident occurred, the Third Fleet was ready for battle that day, and several main ships quickly dispatched to Jinling. There were no accidents along the way, and it went very smoothly.

What does this mean? It means that the Japanese are very familiar with this route. You must know that when we hunted down the underground party a few days ago, our navy could not even leave the port without a captain.

The other party's deliberate collection of hydrological information and the construction of naval ports are definitely not to cope with the North China battlefield, the [-]th battle and the Miyamoto incident, but an exercise by the Japanese army. "

He said solemnly to everyone: "Shanghai is only a few hundred kilometers away from Jinling, and it is located in a plain area without any defensive barriers. If the enemy advances by sea and land, the country's affairs will be in danger.

This is the purpose of using and studying military intelligence—predicting the enemy's strategic policy. You are the mainstay of the national army, and you must never ignore the role of intelligence in warfare.

I know that our spies are in the eyes of everyone, insidious villains who listen to people's walls and pry into private affairs. There are also strange ways to use soldiers, and the most important strategy is intelligence. Remember, remember. "

"Whoa, whoa."

With a smile on his face, the old instructor clapped his hands first, and the other students, whether they were sincere or not, also began to applaud. Some people no longer looked at Zuo Zhong with contempt, which is a good sign.

Because of the gangsters in the Secret Service Headquarters, the military and political circles of the Republic of China avoided the intelligence department for fear of causing trouble to the upper body. This is nothing in peacetime, but it is dangerous in wartime.

The frontlines didn't believe and didn't use intelligence, they just rushed and fought blindly. It seemed to be happy, but the combat efficiency was extremely low. For example, it was difficult to occupy an important military area, but the enemy had already retreated.

This kind of thing happened more than once. The intelligence department and the fighting troops were hostile to each other. One scolded the other party as a Gou spy, and the other scolded the other party as Qiu Ba. How could such a battle be undefeated.

Zuo Zhong saluted, and calmly sat back on the stool. It is unrealistic to change everyone's prejudice against spies with a single lesson, but this is a good start, and the most difficult thing in everything is the beginning.

As long as one of these future regiment commanders, brigade commanders, and even division commanders takes intelligence work seriously, maybe he will kill a few more little devils and live a few more warriors who died for the country.

Little people can't affect the general trend after all, so start working hard from the subtleties to preserve the vitality of the country and the nation, and one more person alive at a critical moment will have more hope of victory.

In the next class, the old instructor didn't bother Zuo Zhong again, but before the get out of class ended, he asked Zuo Zhong to organize the content into written materials, and he didn't know whether to make textbooks or submit them.

It's nothing more than teaching materials, but it's troublesome to submit. If you're not in the position, you don't plan for the government. A lieutenant colonel is dictating the national defense plan.
