Chapter 991: 16. Fortress vs. Fortress (16)

Contrary to what most people think of as "logistics is a light and pleasant job in the army", with the advancement of technology, logistics is more complicated and burdensome, rather than light and pleasant.
The more advanced weapons, the more they rely on standardized precision manufacturing, which provides convenience for mass production and repair and replacement of spare parts, but also increases the difficulty of transportation and distribution. It should be understood that although logistics and logistics have many similarities, after all, the courier, after the superior unit provides optimized transportation routes and satellite positioning and navigation support, dispatches the goods to a fixed delivery location. The logistics system serves not only barracks, exercise grounds, training bases, etc. in peacetime, but also constantly moving troops during wartime. If the information on the movement, location, type and quantity of the required materials, road conditions of the transportation route, weather, etc. cannot be accurately grasped in time, it is likely that a company that needs a rifle bolt will receive a large amount of canned bacon. An artillery battalion that needed field artillery wheel bearings opened the package and looked at a full of socks. What's worse is that when the troops transporting supplies arrived on the spot, their own troops had already been withdrawn, and the enemy troops were climbing up the position. Or because the troops retreated too fast, the materials could not be evacuated and destroyed, and the enemy's affairs were cheap. It should be understood that in large-scale mobile operations, there are not many cases with the same joke.
The current deployment of the Charlemagne army is to maintain a frontal confrontation with the enemy, and has not yet penetrated the enemy. It stands to reason that such internal operations can fully utilize the domestic railway network, send fully mobilized troops and supplies to the front, and form an overwhelming advantage for the Yalfheim Defence Force, which always has a headache for the number and scale of the army. Even if it is still unable to break through the Siegfried line, it will at least cause considerable pressure on the defense force, restrain the opponent’s maneuvering power, reduce the opponent’s tactical choices, and at the same time keep enough cards to achieve
promotion with war
or The strategic goal of "stop war with war".
However, the reality is that Charlie Man, who is keen to overwhelm his opponent with endless bayonets and artillery, has a ratio of 2.5:1 on the Rhine Front and the Defense Force, and 1: Infinite for technical weapons. Most soldiers have only one Chassipbo rifle and five rounds of bullets. There are not even rifles in individual positions. They can only tie the bayonet to the wooden stick with a cloth strip to obtain a little psychological comfort. The artillery had no chance of performance from beginning to end. The lucky ones who did not die from the air attack and the enemy's anti-artillery fire were all loaded with rifles and they were all transferred to the work of the infantry. Those majestic cannons that were once majestic now are either restored to parts, or because there are no shells, they are left on the corners to accumulate dust. To challenge the Siegfried line with these hungry soldiers who are almost indistinguishable from unarmed is a cold-blooded murder.
Why is this happening? Roland got the answer after careful field inspection.
Bureaucracy and
The logistics system has low efficiency, bloated organizations, and unreasonable organization;
The military's neglect of the importance of logistics supplies;
The backwardness of industrial production capacity and technological level;
The lagging of mobilization ability and organization ability;
The first one is "I have Charlie Man's own national conditions here." He has no ability, energy, and time to solve these problems involving many interest groups, and it is not enough to describe the complexity of the problem. If it is to be resolved, it will not only shake the morale of the military, but even trigger the division of the country and evolve into a civil war. So he didn't want to touch the muddy water deep enough to drown anyone at this time.
The third one is the easiest to solve. Anyway, the war situation has eroded, and the Army no longer wants to face up to reality, and has no energy or courage to continue to play "spiritual universalism." It is important to know that the soldiers who are gnawing turnips on the front line are almost approaching intolerance. As long as there is an opportunity, this group The dissatisfied hungry soldiers have the possibility to turn their guns and fight back. At that time, the generals of the "Tianzhu Kingdom Thief" will be eaten by hungry Qiu Bada soldiers and sashimi dipped in mustard.
For the sake of their own lives and future, they will be very reasonable when incidentally people take responsibility for themselves. Even if someone still sticks to the bottom, shouting about "offending commandership", other smart people will teach him how to be a man, and let him learn to close his eyes.
The fourth is that there is no solution at all. The technology gap is there. The technology tree is not so easy to climb. Even if you know the principle, there are still a lot of crooked situations. There is no good way for Roland to do this. He can only let technicians learn and absorb slowly from the captured defense equipment.
Roland can really focus and produce results immediately, only Articles 2 and 5, of which only Article 5 can really be fully controlled and implemented.
To be honest, the scum of the logistics department who is sitting in the back office drinking coffee, knocking on the stamp, reading magazines that are not read by serious people, playing chess and cards, and chatting about the sky. Roland is eager to learn Li Lin's style-all pulled to the bottom of the wall and executed with a cannon, or sent to a labor camp to lose weight. It is simply a crime to make such a group of non-bureaucrats irresponsible, and bureaucrats who do nothing but blame and shirk their responsibilities for logistics. If the soldiers on the frontline who were hungry and hungry were lucky enough to witness the happy life of the bureaucrats in the logistics department, I believe they would not let this group of scumbags die too fast.
Right now, Roland doesn't want to turn his face with the Army. He can't drastically eliminate those shortcomings and cut out a bunch of useless offices. However, it is still possible to formulate a supply logistics plan that meets the actual situation and needs.
The Defense Force's understanding and construction of logistics supplies is ahead of the whole world. When Roland was still in the Junior Military Academy, he had just walked through the queue, and his class was pulled out for a staff trip. A group of minors armed and traversed the mountains and waded into the water, tired and half alive not only to exercise their physique and obedience to orders, but also to thoroughly imprint the importance of logistics supplies into the minds of this rookie. Having tasted hunger and fatigue, and finally walked tiredly into the rest area of ​​the garrison, anyone can understand from the heart, what a terrible thing is that the supply line is cut off on the battlefield. Later, when I took a course on logistics, Naturally, few dare to doze off.
With a solid theoretical foundation, plus a personal friend who worked in the logistics system of the defense army, he used various personal experiences and details disclosed in the conversation for reference. With the assistance of many professional accounting and engineering personnel, Roland quickly formulated A breathtaking transportation supply plan came out.
As Parsifal guessed, Roland shifted the train running time to night, avoided bombing during the day, and maximized the use of capacity through staged handover transportation and reasonable distribution of materials, successfully reversing the supply dilemma of the Rhine front. Even the harsh and discerning army had to lower its proud head in front of this report card.
However, few people know how to really spend Roland's effort and let him rotate the shaft for many days and nights, how to fully mobilize Charlemagne's national power into the war that has clearly shown the characteristics of the overall war.
Total war-This is the core idea of ​​all military doctrines in Yalfheim, and all its strategies and military actions are centered on total war.
If you want to overwhelm the overall war, there is only the overall war. If you want to bridge the technological gap with Yalfheim, you can only use human resources to offset. Even if the world is turned into a crazy that treats a lot of fresh life as consumables or simply consumes a large number of figures, it will not hesitate. For this, Roland has already realized. The first step in putting this realization and theory into practice is to completely mobilize Charlemagne's human resources.
Mobilization is not a simple matter of talking about it. It involves a lot of calculations and the country's organizational capabilities as well as the impact on the country's economy, industry and even social life. To give you the simplest example, you want to recruit young people from a certain village to join the army. What is the population of the village, how many young people are of the right age to serve, how will the farmland of the village be cultivated after these people are recruited, how will the remaining old women, children and children support themselves while paying taxes, and where should these young people go to receive clothing and equipment, What kind of training to accept, then how to arrange them to take on the frontline what kind of work, etc., can be said to pull the whole body.
With a well-organized structure and system, Yalfheim can complete the deployment and deployment of the troops within 10 to 12 days of issuing the mobilization order. It takes nearly 1 month for Charlemagne to deploy the same size of troops. In addition to the gap in transportation means, the biggest problem is that Alfheim has a mobilization system that meets the needs of large-scale wars. Charlieman lags behind his biggest opponent in terms of mobilization depth, scale, and speed. Adapt to the overall battle under modern conditions.
Modern warfare is not only a comprehensive confrontation between combat troops and equipment, but also a confrontation between the military production, technological development and logistics support of the warring parties. Any shortcomings in soldiers, equipment, and food supplies will be fundamentally affected. Even destroy. In the current war, Yalfheim is limited by the total number of soldiers and geopolitical difficulties, resulting in limited strategic and tactical options. Charlemagne has all kinds of problems in various aspects. Not only does it suffer from the inadequate supply of logistics, but also can not achieve its strategic or tactical objectives by taking advantage of its human resources.
Some people may wonder that Charlemagne has not been expanding the size of the army. How could it fail to mobilize to take advantage of its numbers? There is actually a misunderstanding in this. Mobilization is not just about bringing all those who can carry guns to the front. It is also inseparable from the support of the industrial and agricultural system to maintain the combat system. Take the case of recruiting soldiers in the XX village as an example. When the young people in the village are recruited to serve as soldiers, the old weak women and children will not only have to undertake the work that once belonged to their husbands, sons, and brothers, but they will actually also have to support these. The work of young and middle-aged soldiers. Because of the wartime taxes they paid and the food delivered to the government, a large part of them was transported to the front. The same principle applies to workers and employees in cities.
In this way, the demand for soldiers in the front will inevitably conflict with the needs of the labor force in the rear for the distribution of human resources. Adult men between 18 and 50 years old are the most suitable labor force in the industrial and agricultural production system. Men in this age range are also the main targets of military recruitment. Once the age of mobilization exceeds this range, the production system will inevitably need to find new labor to fill this gap, otherwise it will face the danger of rapid decline in production efficiency and quantity, and the increasing supply demand ahead. When the contradiction between supply and demand exceeds a certain threshold, tens of thousands of mobilized soldiers will be starved to death without being killed. On the other hand, even if the government uses exhaustive methods to complete the indicators, it may not be able to meet the bottomless hole on the front line. In case of careless operation (the probability of this situation is very high), it is impossible to guarantee the most basic survival needs of farmers and workers. Sufficient food and equipment make it difficult to maintain stability in the rear.
To sum up, the mobilization must first provide sufficient combatants for the troops, but also to balance the relationship between the national economy, logistics and operations~EbookFREE.me~ Generally speaking, an ordinary army soldier needs at least 4~5 labors stand by. Technical arms need more labor support. The reason why Alfheim can achieve such an extremely extreme comparison of labor force and army as 3.4:1 (this ratio is a total collapse in ordinary countries). On the one hand, it uses a lot of human labor to liberate the elves from the production line. Come out and organize into a highly reliable army with elves as the absolute subject. On the other hand, because the logistics system of the Defense Force has been mechanized very early, relying on a strong economic and industrial system, mechanization and the sea, air, and rail transportation systems have effectively guaranteed the logistics supply. Charlemagne, unable to enjoy these conveniences, certainly cannot achieve such extreme mobilization, but by adjusting the industrial supply and demand structure and implementing the rationing system, at least 14.5:1 mobilization can be achieved, which is enough to condense in front of the Siegfried line of defense. A large army with sufficient size and strength. Perhaps this legion cannot defeat the defense force, nor can it break through the Siegfried line. But enough to force Yalfheim to put all resources and maneuvering power into the confrontation and consumption until the situation of stalemate appears. This process does not take much time. As long as half a year or so, a window for countries to intervene will appear. At that time, the war will be calmed down and peace talks will be turned from possibility to reality.
To realize this plan, Roland must first restore the combat capabilities of the Charlemagne on the Rhine front and ensure the stability of the defense. Get the time to realize his mobilization plan. For now, he has done better than expected. If this situation continues, Yalfheim will have to face the most unwilling to see.
In order to avoid such an outcome, Alfheim, who has always been good at occupying moral highlands, had to give up superficial effort. 8) More exciting novels, welcome to visit everyone's college
