Datang all-rounder

Chapter 299

As Li Jing came to the war room of the General Staff Headquarters, Wang Ke saw the huge Tang Dynasty terrain and the sand table of the surrounding terrain in the war room. Looking left and right, he didn't find anything wrong. What is the difference between what you say and what you do.

Seeing Wang Ke's puzzled look, Li Jing knew that Wang Ke didn't see the crux of the matter at all, so he had to explain to Wang Ke how the sand table was different.

Wang Ke knew from Li Jing's words and the stack of topographic maps that Li Jing took out that the sand table seemed to have no problems at first glance, but if it was actually deduced on this sand table, there would be problems. One was the mountains and rivers above. The height and distance are wrong, and the distance between the two places is also very different. If you want to conduct the drill completely in accordance with the normal marching rhythm, it is completely impossible to show the real scene on the battlefield. It doesn’t matter if you look at it on weekdays Well, if there is a time for action, it can only be a decoration, and it will not work at all.

Wang Ke understood now, but he was even more confused. He didn't understand how such a situation could happen. To him, he had only seen it before. For the first person who made this thing, it didn't appear when he was making a sand table. How could these people who are more proficient in this way than themselves have such problems?
Wang Ke took a large stack of drawings on the paper. According to Li Jing, it was a very accurate topographic map. After carefully comparing it with the scenery on the sand table, Wang Ke understood what was going on after a while. The sand table is to shape the shape of the mountains and rivers at will. During the production process, the proportions were not considered, but a shape was roughly shaped according to the topographic map drawn on the paper. If it is really necessary to use it , of course there will be various problems.

When Wang Ke made the sand table, he used a lot of proportions, elevations, and even latitude and longitude that are commonly used in later generations, so that the result is a bit decent. Now these people have learned nothing. However, if you don’t know how to apply it, of course the things you make can only be called magical. In fact, the most core things can’t be made.

Seeing Wang Ke straighten up, Li Jing knew that Wang Ke had found the crux of the matter, and quickly asked, "Does my nephew know what's going on? Can you correct it!"

When Wang Ke heard what Li Jing asked, she almost threw herself on the sand table. How can I change it? I can only push it and do it again. How easy is it to change it? It takes much more time than making a new one.

While cleaning up the messy things in the sand table with her hands, Wang Ke said to Li Jing: "Uncle, don't try to change this thing, it's more convenient to make a new one. Now the emperor also asks my nephew to make a new one." The sand table is for the army, so why not take this opportunity to redo the sand table, so as not to change it later, wouldn’t that be more troublesome?”

Wang Ke's words were well intentioned, and Li Jing knew it, but what he thought was that if he really did this, and if there was no time, then Comrade Li Er's request to enter Tuyuhun in a month's time would be delayed. At that time, Comrade Li Er blamed him, but no one could bear it.

Thinking of this, Li Jing became a little anxious, and quickly said to Wang Ke: "Nephew, let's put this matter aside for later, what is needed now is to quickly make the sand table of the entire Tuyuhun territory. The emperor is anxiously waiting for a month to enter Tuyuhun!"

Seeing Li Jing's urgent look, Wang Ke couldn't help laughing, even if he worked overtime now to make the Tuyuhun whole territory sand table, so what?This entry is just an ordinary military operation. Without war, there will be no question of where to conduct a battle. There will be no need to use this sand table to conduct a series of deduction. A map will do just fine.

And now that I have detailed information on Tuyuhun in my hand, I just need to make a map for Li Jing and the others to determine where the Tang army needs to be stationed after entering the entire territory of Tuyuhun. This sand table can be moved back, waiting for the map. Let's make it after we're done.

I just didn't think about this relationship just now. When Comrade Li Er asked me to make a sand table, he agreed without thinking about it. Now that I think about it, it is impossible for this sand table to move with the marching team. Or a map would be much more useful.

Wang Ke explained his intentions to Li Jing, and Li Jing immediately understood. Ever since Wang Ke made the first sand table, everyone was used to deducing the matter of marching and fighting on the sand table. I forgot about the map. This time, when it comes to taking action, the first thing that comes to mind is to use the sand table. After all, this thing looks much more intuitive, and it doesn’t look troublesome like the map.

But this time, as Wang Ke said, the reliance on the map is much stronger than that of the sand table. After each garrison point is determined, the officer in charge of the army needs to enter the territory of Tuyuhun according to the actual situation. Make arrangements. At this time, what is most needed is the map, not the sand table. It seems that the most urgent thing now is to make the map.

Li Jing was also unambiguous, and immediately said to Wang Ke: "Nephew, then you should hurry up and make a map. The old man hastened into the palace to explain the situation to the emperor, and put the matter of making the sand table back. Let's make the map first." Just come out."

Wang Ke still understands Li Jing's words. After all, Comrade Li Er ordered to make sand tables. If you violated the sacred order, you will be punished no matter what. Now Li Jing asked himself to do it first, and he went to Comrade Li Er to explain the situation, then nothing like this would happen. Wouldn’t everyone be safe? ?

Wang Ke had to admire Li Jing's thoughtfulness in this matter, not only did not delay a little time, but also eliminated all criticisms invisible.

Seeing that Li Jing turned around and walked out after finishing speaking, Wang Ke quickly stopped him, and said with a smile: "Uncle, don't be in a hurry, let's arrange a few people who are good at drawing maps for my nephew, and wait for my nephew to draw maps." Let them do it on the one hand, and they can make it independently in the future, so you don’t have to ask your nephew to do it every time.”

As soon as Li Jing heard this, he knew that Wang Ke was going to be lazy.But Wang Ke is right. If there are not many people who can use Wang Ke's drawing method to draw maps, every time they want to do these things in the future, Wang Ke will have to do it. Wouldn't it be more troublesome?

Li Jing smiled and pointed at Wang Ke, indicating that he understood what Wang Ke was thinking, nodded and walked out.

Taking advantage of this time, Wang Ke cleared all the things in the sand table to the ground. The bracket of this sand table is big enough, just waiting for a few people who are good at drawing maps to come, and use this bracket to draw. Wang Ke doesn't care about the things on the ground, someone will come to clean them up naturally, so Wang Ke doesn't need to think about it.

Wang Ke had just cleaned up the large pieces on the sand table bracket, and there were still some small ones that hadn't been cleaned in time, when he saw four junior officers rushing in. Wang Ke knew that this must be sent by Li Jing to draw The person on the map has been selected, and he quickly waved to these four people, telling them to come over quickly.

Before the four people came, they had heard Li Jing tell them that they were asked to come here to learn Wang Ke's map-drawing techniques. They still had some disapproval in their hearts. They felt that they had always been able to draw maps. Could there be something else? Is it different? It's just that they have Li Jing's order and they have heard about Wang Ke's deeds, so they came over full of curiosity.

After these people bowed to him, Wang Ke returned the salute and said: "Hurry up, clean up this bracket, and then start drawing the map. The emperor is still waiting for it!"

The purpose of Wang Ke's saying this is actually ulterior motives. When these people came in, Wang Ke found that there was a kind of unconvinced look in the eyes of these four people. For this kind of look, Wang Ke understood what it was In other words, the four people Li Jing recruited must be very good at drawing maps in the army, but now it is completely unnecessary for them to follow him to learn map drawing.And although I have a higher military rank than them, I am much younger than these people. From their point of view, even if I can get a little better, I should not be better than them. If I want to teach them, I don't have the qualifications. .

To be honest, Wang Ke also knows that in terms of map-drawing skills, he really cannot compare with these four people. It is true that he can draw, but painting and map-drawing are two completely different concepts. The drawing of maps requires rigorous requirements, and it cannot be as particular about brushwork skills as painting.

If it's really drawing with real knives and real guns, I will never be the opponent of these four people. The only thing I can shock them now is the various map drawing techniques I have learned in later generations. Only this can make them feel that they are Smarter than them, if I can't show some real skills, I can't convince them!

After a while, the four people had cleaned up the brackets, and the white silk for drawing maps was also spread on the brackets. Several people looked at Wang Ke together to see what Wang Ke could say.

Wang Ke didn't go around the corner, and directly handed the information in front of the four people and said: "Let's not care about how well the picture is drawn, according to the factors and data required for drawing the map, you have all the data required for drawing the map. Do you think so?"

The eyes of the four people looked at the information that Wang Ke handed over, and they all nodded. They all agreed with what Wang Ke said. You can know it clearly after passing it, but now Wang Ke has handed over all the information to his mother's nose, can you not see clearly?
Wang Ke collected the information back, and said with a serious face: "But in my opinion, these data are not sufficient. Military maps are no better than others. What is required is accuracy. If this cannot be achieved, then the loss is The lives of our soldiers! I don’t know if everyone thinks I’m right?”

Don't look at what Wang Ke said was just the truth, but it really shocked the four people. Now the data is extremely detailed for them, but from what Wang Ke said, it is still far behind. But they had never heard of it, and all of them lost their color for a while.

After a while, one of the four people wearing the rank of captain slowly asked Wang Ke: "I don't know what data Mr. Wang thinks is still missing? I wonder if you can tell us that when these scouts go out to investigate in the future, You can pay more attention to these aspects."

At this time, the person's tone began to soften, and the expression in his eyes was no longer as unconvinced as before. This made Wang Ke feel very comfortable in his eyes, after all, this was a pressure on these people Go down some.

Wang Ke pointed to the data and said: "There are still a lot of these data, but there are still many key points missing, such as the shape of the mountain, what it looks like, this has not been reflected, the road is opened in the There is no indication of any location, the general direction of the river is marked, but the width of the river, the small turns are not marked, how far the town is from the mountains and the river, and the topography of the town is not detailed. If it is not a big problem as a business travel map, but it is a bit sloppy if it is used as a credential for marching and fighting."

Wang Ke's words can really be regarded as talking about the four people. Regarding these, let alone them, even the person who taught them has never said anything. For a long time, they just drew the information brought back by the scouts on On Bai Ling, as for the distance between this object and another object, I don’t care, as long as this object is marked on it, it’s over. Now that Wang Ke said this, I know that these are all drawn. A prerequisite for a map.

But how to do this is not very clear, and now I can only let Wang Ke tell them how these necessary conditions should be manifested.
