Chapter 1717: Thirteen. Icewind Forest (9)

The importance of Amliza is clear on the sand table.
The mooring of material distribution centers, railway hubs, and floating transport ships-during wartime, there will be more piles of ammunition and various materials.
In such an important place, as long as a large-caliber cannonball falls, even if it does not cause a shocking explosion, the chaos and its impact will be enough to make the entire battlefield chaotic for a while. If a fleet breaks into Yarmiza...
"Don't talk about the essential "water of life", and even rye porridge and Leba will have no way to protect it. In this case, let alone win the battle, it is the mother who can withdraw the troops."
"However, the Empire's ability to invest in Lapland's air power is not enough to conquer Yarmyza."
The cigar flickered, and the old man's sharp eyes moved back and forth between several points on the sand table.
"There is not an undefended city."
Of course, it is impossible for Yarmiza to be able to control the direction of the war without defense. In fact, it has repeatedly experienced the destruction and reconstruction of war. Today, Yarmiza is not a material distribution center, but a fortress with a material distribution function. Simply speaking, in terms of solidity, Amliza is a powerful defensive facility that is comparable to the Brest Fortress and the Sevastopol Military Port. Expecting a raid of a small fleet to destroy an entire fortress is too exaggerated.
"Your Excellency, the other party does not need to occupy or destroy the fortress, as long as they can paralyze the function of material distribution to achieve their goals."
Kolchak shrugged. He had long wanted to spit out some senior commanders who were clinging to old ideas. He had a rare opportunity right now, and he would of course beat the faces of the granite heads.
The face of a soldier?
Dignified formation is king?
All operations except the decisive battle of the main fleet are evil?
Unless the enemy will not understand how to use troops, how can he lead a few fleets to die before the fortress?
Hearing the grotesque tales of old stars in the house, Kolchak, who has always attached importance to military discipline and maintained the order of the military ranks, couldn't help but come up with an extremely emotional and "great rebellion" idea.
Mother, why do you want to create old people?! Let the old stubbornness who is reckless of reality, greedy for vanity, and play tricks to block the path of young people! Even one time, let me put those old on the ground and beat those An elm pimple, shouting "Master, times have changed!"
This is undoubtedly an extremely serious and obviously offends many people's feelings. Finally, Major General Kolchak still retained a little self-control, and did not scold the words on the spot. Otherwise, even if he is the navy's tomorrow's star, and he is the confidant general of Makarov's navy, he will be very promising in the end.
Gorchak felt inexplicably spitting out the evil words that had stuck in his heart, but his face was still tight and he couldn't see a trace of emotion.
As an old chief, Makarov certainly knew Kolchak's careful thinking, and the disputes and disputes behind those thoughts were also clear. However, the old marshal had long been dissatisfied with the bureaucracy and rigid thinking that pervaded the navy. If it was not because of the forces behind some bureaucrats, even the majesty of the tsar and the head of the great priest, the old marshal had long taken these In addition to wasting food and salary, other waste that can't do anything kicks out of the navy, allowing the storm to be completely wiped out of the navy system.
The intertwined bureaucracy is not something that a naval marshal can confront. What he can do is to protect young talents as much as possible to prevent them from being harmed by their honesty or corrupted by the officialdom. As for the Mianli Tibetan needle speech like this, the old marshal just smiled and immediately focused his attention on the practical part of the discourse.
"You mean, the railway dispatch facility also has an air shipping center?"
"Your Excellency."
Kolchak's expression was still immobile like an iron plate, but his tone was obviously less sharp.
Even if it is an iron man, there will be some changes in attitude when meeting someone who can understand what he is talking about. If the other party can fully understand his ideas, it will be even better.
In Kolchak's eyes, Yaliza was not a solid solution at all, and his design concept was seriously derailed from the times.
The old men thought that it would be safe to move all the important facilities into the fortress. Even if the enemy dared to attack, at best they could only destroy a section of the railroad track outside the fortress defense circle, or sneak attack on the transport ship that had just left the port. Want to destroy the storage warehouse buried deep under the fortress? It was almost the same as pulling the Imperial fleet.
"Materials are not just stored in a safe place. Only a sufficient amount of materials should be sent to the corresponding person in time to play a role. Otherwise, it will either be put in the warehouse to accumulate dust, or it will be used to capitalize the enemy."
Extinguishing the fire in his heart, Kolchak said calmly:
"To do this, it is not necessary to destroy the warehouse."
#########
"Gentlemen, the so-called break-ups and break-ups have the ultimate goal of not sinking as many ships as possible, knocking down locomotives, and playing the game of stacking tonnage numbers. So that the enemy can’t get the materials they need, and the transportation line that transports people and materials can not play Some functions make it difficult for enemy forces to mobilize and obtain supplies normally. This is where the fundamental purpose of the break-ups and break-ups lies."
Step on the small bench and pull down the scroll chart from the top of the blackboard. Various red and blue charts and data jump on the paper. The wagger on the stage returned to the podium slightly tiredly, and the audience under the stage was busy making notes.
If this is a primary school classroom or a company's financial report site, this situation is not a violation. But now in the classroom there is a room of active Lapland soldiers carrying stars and bars, and on the podium stands an imperial major general who has no military temperament at all, which is inevitably a bit subtle.
Fortunately, the attention of both parties is not on such marginal trivial matters, but it also saves embarrassment and trouble.
"The only mission of the military logistics system is to ensure the daily consumption of the military. In the past, the main purpose was to transport weapons and grain to the front line. If it was not possible, it would raise funds through on-the-spot looting. In fact, even now, the army continues to use Robbery to solve the shortage of materials, but in fact, this method can not really solve the problem except to stir up resistance."
The cold weapons era can easily convert the seized weapons and materials into their own use. After entering the hot weapons era, the technical level and complexity of weapons are getting higher and higher, and the technical standards of equipment in different countries are increasing. In today's battlefield, after seizing the enemy's weapons, since the corresponding ammunition and parts cannot be obtained, most of the seized weapons are used as disposable consumables. There is no such trouble with food, medicine, and being taken. As long as it has not expired, anyone can use it, but these are originally disposable consumables, which are not the same as weapons and ammunition.
With this layer of restraint, it is no longer possible for today's war to reproduce the past practice of relying on burning and looting to maintain the combat effectiveness and morale of the army, and a team of cavalry can easily penetrate hundreds of kilometers into the enemy's border. Whoever has more resources, who can mobilize resources faster and more fully, send resources to the front line through a perfect logistics system, completely overwhelm opponents, who will win.
This is the basic principle of the current war—the overall war.
The logistics system is responsible for mobilizing, transporting, and storing various resources. Therefore, attacking the enemy's logistics system makes the opponent unable to use it effectively even if he has huge resources (such as strategic bombing and maritime attack); or before the enemy starts to fully mobilize various resources in the rear, he can quickly move quickly. Siege warfare Encircling the enemy field forces, making their bombs run short of food or surrendering or annihilating (that is, blitzkrieg) is an important form of contemporary warfare, and its effects have been fully verified in previous wars.
"With the current fleet size and ship performance level, no matter how effectively it is used, it is necessary to conduct a head-on confrontation and win the fleet. It is an impossible task to be realistic."
Although the tone and rhetoric are very polite, the content of the words is very cruel.
The commanders at all levels of the Lapland floating ship unit cruel to the stage had no idea of ​​refuting.
People often call the struggle between Lapland and the Principality the war between the young David and the invincible giant Goliath. The gap between the performance and the number of the floating fleets of the two countries is even greater than it can be described by clownfish and giant sharks.
Even the Lapland Floating Fleet bluntly stated that
Once a war is launched, the best choice is nothing more than to evacuate to a foreign country to save yourself, or to raise the battle flag and fight until the last one.

Embarrassment of disgrace, death for reputation. Neither of them conforms to Parsifal’s personality, nor does the empire’s war blueprint for Lapland and the various efforts made for it.
"So ~EbookFREE.me~ I suggest avoiding frontal engagements and challenging the patriotic army's patience and inspiring their desire to fight by harassing the transport fleet and rail transport. Tempt them to disperse their forces so that we can attack Yam Stand up, paralyze the logistical system of the Duchy."
The Lapland soldiers who had been silent for a while exclaimed, one-third was boldly surprised by Parsifal, one-third was shocked by the madness of this idea, and one-third did not know what to say. .
Use the fleet to raid the fortress? The craziest commander will not do this. Compared with the fortress with heavy protection, all the artillery's shooting range and shooting parameters have been prepared, the floating fleet is just a group of fragile mosquitoes. Affected by the air flow, the artillery hit rate of the floating battleship is lower than that of the fortress gun. The difference in artillery caliber and damage effectiveness is even more fatal. Let the floating warships go to raid Yalizha? The guy who came up with this plan is either crazy or wants to get everyone to commit suicide together.
Finally, everyone still remembers the military discipline and the nickname of the lazy man in front of him as "Undefeated Magician". This is why he didn't care about the mental state of the military adviser aloud, nor did he think of "impossible" and "bluffing" Class Tucao threw at the podium.
Parsifal was certainly not crazy. "It was violent to take everyone to death together" is one of the things he hated most.
and so--
"Everyone, I reiterate again. We are attacking the fortress and paralyzing its logistics center function. This kind of thing does not have to be achieved by conquering the fortress, and it does not necessarily have to be achieved with naval guns. Remember, no matter how much Sturdy fortresses, what powerful fortress cannons, and those who operate these are living people."
Speaking of which, Parsifal drew a circle in the air with a teaching pointer, a slightly confident smile like a magician about to lead the audience to witness the miracle.
