They are all in the army, who is in love?

Chapter 324 Grouping, this is a tough battle
As the instructor and the deputy dean left, more and more officers moved toward the podium.

For a group of people who came to study, academic debate was like asking Zhang Fei to dictate the battle of Changbanpo. It was no problem to let him fight in the past.

But if you talk about it, besides saying "I poked his grandma's 1 transparent holes in the past", what else can you say?

There are many officers who are eloquent and eloquent, but debates must be based on evidence and cannot be based entirely on imagination. Naturally, they will focus on their areas of expertise.

as predicted.

Chen Ming noticed that Ding Yuan and Fat Colonel Zhao Shenghu, whose names had been called just now, were surrounded by people, and they kept making sounds of admiration.

At the same time, the factors in the manuscript were discussed in a low voice, and everyone nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Chen Ming looked quite depressed. He had just nominated three people, why was he the only one who was not interested?
It should be said that his manuscript has a more comprehensive theoretical record and has more reference value.

Just when Chen Ming felt bad.

Xie Canxiong, an old neighbor, ran over, patted Chen Ming on the shoulder, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Old Chen, you are really awesome. You can be nominated for any article you write. It's amazing."

"I think your situation is not good. What do you think? How can the command environment, command methods and command information be reduced to the main elements?"

"Any commander will know that the most important factors are the commander and the commanded."

"When fighting a war, first look at the people and secondly look at the weapons."

"People are commanders and soldiers. These two are the most important and indispensable. As for how to command, where to command, and how to issue command orders, it is judged and decided based on environmental factors."

"Changes that adapt to local conditions at any time cannot be the main factor affecting the core of the command."

"Your point of view has become one of the core points of the debate, which does not seem to have the upper hand."

Xie Canxiong made an emotional suggestion. His expression seemed to be that Chen Ming had made some incomprehensible decision. He was sighing and looking very unfavorably towards the afternoon debate.

Chen Ming was not surprised by this.

Xie Canxiong was from the air defense brigade. Many of the instructions were given by the superiors. They followed them and did not have many opportunities to freely arrange operations.

What he just said would have been uncontroversial 15 years ago.

Now with the advent of informatization, there are more and more disputes in academic circles, which is enough to show that there are problems.

With the application and development of information technology in combat, it is inevitable that more and more attention will be paid to the status and role of information in the command field.

To scientifically divide the elements of combat command, we must adhere to certain standards and principles and study the division of elements of combat command.

The standards and principles for dividing elements must also be established first.

These cannot be refuted by relying on imagination and experience.

It doesn’t mean that the higher the position, the more correct you are.

This traditional old thought still affects a considerable number of people, believing that the commander and the commanded are the main core.

Words are also good.

However, today's combat environment, command environment, command methods and command information are currently undergoing vigorous development in military industry and science and technology.

Human-machine integration has been achieved to a great extent.

Let’s not talk about how advanced countries around the world fight wars, let’s talk about their own domestic exercises.

Where can I still see the kind of infantry charge scenes from the past?

They all rely on infantry fighting vehicles, armored vehicles, and tanks for maneuver.

From the perspective of the combined battalion, the combat environment, the environment where the commander is located, the means of command and the information conveyed.

It absolutely affects the overall deployment and control of the entire army. If this cannot become the core factor affecting combat command, then what other aspects can become the core factor?
The reason why senior military officers put forward different views is because the services are now divided into more branches than before, and the troops under their command are also different.

During the exercise, they were stationed at the rear, and together with the artillery brigade, the army aviation brigade, and the industrial and chemical brigade, their command was indeed not as complicated as that of a synthetic force.

Someone once said that the difficulty of commanding a combined battalion is almost as difficult as that of an infantry division.

This is not just talking.

According to Chen Ming's own experience in leading the Tiger Wolf Battalion, there are more than 100 commanders in total.

How many commanders did an infantry division have in total?
Many officers stay in a single branch of the military all year round and perform a single task during war.

Their views may not be wrong, but they may be incomplete.

But he is different.

Chen Ming has experienced the teaching methods of the National University of Defense Technology in the New Era and has also specialized in synthetic warfare. He has a clearer understanding of the current focus of military academies in cultivating command systems.

After returning to the army, he participated in small-scale operations like Longya, and also led the combined battalion, which is currently at the forefront of informatization and digitalization, and the Second Company of Border Defense.

His thinking is more open-minded.

He has all the characteristics of the new generation of officers. It is impossible to say that his views are wrong.

To take a step back, if it is really wrong, is there any point in the debate?Vice President Lin would not let them debate with the wrong academic direction.

Seeing that no one was interested in his manuscript, and almost no one came to look for him, Chen Ming felt that he needed to find an ally.

You can't really troll a family of more than 50 people by yourself, right?

Although there is a saying that goes well, you can travel all over the world with reason, but you can't live without even one person to support you. That would be too shabby.

Seeing Lao Xie looking aggrieved for himself, Chen Ming invited him with a smile: "Don't be afraid. If you dare to write, you dare to debate. Besides, aren't we two going forward and retreating together?"

"Advance and retreat together? Are you talking about me?" Xie Canxiong pointed to himself in surprise, then put on a serious and righteous expression and said: "Lao Chen, don't worry, mentally, I absolutely support you."

"But there is a saying that goes well, it is better to avoid relatives than to promote talents. We are too familiar with each other. In order to avoid criticism, I decided to go to the opposite side."

"But don't worry, I am in the Han camp and my heart is with Cao, and I will definitely support you."

"roll roll roll"

Chen Ming cursed with a smile and raised his hand to chase people away. This guy can really mess around. Why is he in the Han camp and his heart is in Cao? It seems that he went against everyone's thoughts.

The two joked for a while, but Xie Canxiong stopped making trouble and said with a dry smile: "Old Chen, it's a joke to recommend virtuous people to avoid relatives, but do you know why few people support your point of view?"

"Tell me about it." Chen Ming nodded in response. He also knew the specific reason. He just wanted to hear what the old neighbor could analyze.

"Hey, the reason is very simple. Debate competitions are different from others. If you vote for a point of view that you agree with, many people will support you. After all, you explained many academic problems to us yesterday."

"Many people will find your point of view reasonable, but we are not familiar with it. In a debate, you need to stand up and argue."

"Who are we to refute in an unfamiliar field? Sitting next to you is like a fool, with your head hanging down and speechless when faced with any question."

"That's not helping, that's holding back. So, I support you mentally."

"Well, I understand."

Chen Ming nodded. He did understand that the differences in academic opinions had already arisen when he was studying the subject of combat command. He wanted to change their perceptions unless he could provide enough examples to prove it.

Or you can refute the points they put forward one by one. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

"Then I'll go get ready. We'll see you at the debate in the afternoon." Xie Canxiong chuckled and ran to the podium to participate in the discussion.

Chen Ming's side was not unsupported. The officers who came to participate in the training also included former officers from the 169th Combined Brigade, as well as people from other combined forces.

We know how important the command environment, command means, and command information are in synthetic command.

But unfortunately, there are only a few people who support it, less than ten people.

Chen Ming roughly estimated that the strength of their group was still far behind.

There are less than ten people here, and there are more than 40 people there, all of them are elite soldiers. You can see it from the wrinkles on their faces and the stars on their shoulders. They have experienced hundreds of battles, and they are experienced and original.

Not good.

However, Chen Ming didn't take the debate group's affairs too seriously. Anyway, it was in the afternoon.

It seems that the investigation arranged yesterday is not the focus at all. The focus is today's debate competition.

After the half-hour break, Vice President Lin did not come back.

But the instructor Yang Fengrui is back.

He arranged for everyone to take turns reading three selected manuscript proposals on combat command science and factors affecting combat command.

Including Chen Ming, he was also asked to read the manuscripts of the other two people.

Everyone is not required to put forward the same or contradictory views, but at least in the afternoon debate group, everyone must express their own opinions and make their own positions clear.By the way, the candidates for Group A and Group B were also finalized on the spot.

According to the original arrangement, the debate group will be the group for tomorrow's third assessment.

In this way, Chen Ming and the others not only had to avoid taking advantage in the debate, but also had to be beaten by more than 40 people during the battle.

Not fair.

At the end of the morning class, a comrade who was assigned to Group B with Chen Ming, Lieutenant Colonel Fu Mingchuan, complained angrily: "I found that academics always like to complicate simple things."

"Which factors can affect command operations? As for the viewpoints put forward in the manuscript, Director Yang has just talked about it several times and has not clearly stated which one is more reasonable."

"Just say who is right, and publish the answer directly instead of setting up a debate group."

"If this were placed in the army, there would be no debate at all. It doesn't matter what is right or wrong, it just needs to be implemented."

"Only the academy would cause such trouble."

Hearing the other party's complaint, Chen Ming shook his head, chuckled, and corrected: "What is required in the army is execution, and what is required in academics is verification. The two cannot be confused."

"Doing academia is not like leading troops in war. They are thoughtful people who boldly put forward hypotheses, carefully verify, and need to persevere."

"Whether it's academic or scientific research, it all needs to be accumulated and constantly explored. You won't jump to any conclusion easily, even if you have the answer in your heart."

"It won't be like training for war in the army. Give an order and execute it first, regardless of whether it is right or wrong."

"Academics requires not only meticulousness, but also calm analysis. Many academic and scientific research achievements are not discovered through experiments."

"But it often appears in places that others don't expect. For example, most of the results of scientific research are obtained by summarizing and analyzing experimental data."

"So this debate may also be able to establish an academic research topic, so that the external conditions that affect combat factors will no longer become a controversial topic, but become a unified and recognized topic."

"If scholars like them all hold one opinion, and their opinions that they think are right must be implemented by others, just like in the military, then our country's science and technology will not progress, but will only continue to regress."

“Brainstorming is the core of academics.”

Listening to Chen Ming's talk, Fu Mingchuan's anger slowly melted away, and he just complained.

Faced with the arrangement of the college, is it possible to really make different suggestions?
Listening to the point made by Chen Ming just now, he shrugged and said with a smile: "Nevermind, let's just debate. Who is afraid of whom?"

"Even though we have a small number of people in Group B, if we really want to bang the table, we are not necessarily less powerful than the people across from them."

"Besides, a debate may not lead to results, as long as it does not exceed the scope. If we are really capable, we can change a topic that is still controversial in academic terms into a recognized topic through debate."

"Then all of us in Group B will probably be hired as honorary professors by the National Defense Joint Warfare College. If we return to the army, we will be very awesome."

Several people were talking and laughing. Although they were not optimistic about the afternoon debate, they were not worried either.

Chen Ming was noncommittal and said nothing as he walked beside him. It does not mean that only combat officers are powerful. People who are engaged in technology and scientific research are not powerful.

Not to mention, the person from Kyoto National Defense University who is known as the goddess of the Rocket Force should know, right?
Just a few years ago.

It is possible to directly calculate in advance where new foreign fighters will stay based on calculation formulas.

This stop was not in their own country, but when the new fighter jets came out to show off, the fighter jets were not even launched yet.

The goddess of the rocket army calculated exactly where they were in the air and their specific location through calculation.

When the news came out, the Eastern Theater Command set up defenses in advance and controlled that area in advance. When the other party drove over with a pout, they found the military's arrangement and didn't even dare to let out a fart.

Just roll back in despair.

For a long time, I thought there was a spy on my side, but later I found out that their new fighter jets had not even left the country, and they did not even plan to fly them as a deterrent.

Someone has already calculated all the information about their new fighter through formulas.

Does this mean they are not great?

The key point is that the goddess of the Rocket Force is not a very professional scientific researcher. She was just transferred from the Rocket Force to the National Defense University.

Of course, there are many types in the military who are so ridiculously powerful that they cannot even be understood.

After lunch, Chen Ming did not rest. He came to the classroom alone, picked up the manuscripts written by Ding Yuan and Zhao Shenghu and began to study them carefully.

This is his strength, never fighting an unprepared battle.

If you want to truly refute everyone else's opinions with your own point of view in a debate, you must at least take a look at other people's opinions.

I couldn't figure it out even after a quick look at it this morning.

If after reading it, you still think that your point of view has no flaws, and you can still stick to your point of view.

Only in this way can you have enough confidence to argue for your own views in the debate.

Debates are a way to deepen your academic impression. Whether you insist on your own opinions or have your opinions refuted by others, you can leave a deep impression.

serve the purpose of real research.

Time passed little by little, and the National Defense University gave students a lunch break at noon. Chen Ming did not go back and kept sitting in the classroom.

Take other people's manuscripts, study them over and over again, and read them over and over again.

He has never led units other than the synthetic troops, but based on the experience gained from leading troops and the staff by drawing inferences from one example, it is not difficult to understand the other party's theoretical viewpoints.

Even during Chen Ming's study, he had carefully sorted out in his mind what opinions the other party would use to refute him.

Just as Chen Ming was thinking calmly, he suddenly felt the hairs on his back rising, and he hurriedly turned to look at the door.

Vice-President Lin Qingyuan walked into the classroom at this moment, glanced at Chen Ming, nodded and said, "It's good to be vigilant. You don't have to be like this in the academy."

"Hello, Vice President."

Chen Ming did not answer and hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Sit down and continue doing what you think you should do." Lin Qingyuan gave a rare return gesture and said in a slightly gentle tone.

This bad old man is unpopular, partly because he never acts in accordance with the rules and regulations. When other leaders are saluted, they will return the salute at least.

No matter how old the official is, the main thing is to be gentle.

He is not good at it. Most of the time, he looks like he should not be approached by strangers.

Chen Ming also felt a little surprised, but in this situation, there was nothing he could do except be surprised.

Stay seated and prepare to study.

Lin Qingyuan was sitting in the instructor's seat and said to himself: "I read your manuscript this morning and thought you should be here."

"In the manuscript, you described the advanced nature of the combined battalion, compared it with the unstable nature of the special forces, and combined it with the backward conditions of the border defense company to give a comprehensive answer."

"But I also saw regret in your article. Do you regret fighting, or regret wasting a year on logistics?"

"Uh" Chen Ming was in a trance when he heard Vice President Lin's words.

regret?
Without a year of accumulation in logistics, how could he regret it?

I didn't even realize what I did wrong or what I did wrong.

"Vice President, I"

"Okay, you don't have to tell me the answer. You can decide for yourself. The debate will begin soon. Combining academics with practice will help you make progress faster."

"Lead well when you return to the army. Your abilities are good and you didn't embarrass Mr. Chai."

Lin Qingyuan said something off-topic and remained silent.

Chen Ming couldn't say much and continued to study the manuscript in his hand.

For more than an hour, the two did not communicate.

It was time for the afternoon class, and students entered the classroom one after another. When they saw the deputy dean and Chen Ming were both here.

The officers who entered had different expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

Return to your usual seat and stand.

Chen Ming sighed, stood up and returned the manuscript. It was going to be a tough battle later.
