Looking at the day, at night, everyone was arranged to stay in the guest house of the White Eagle Brigade, and their meals were also served in the small canteen in the guest house.
While eating, a little incident happened.
Ma Liang, the chief of staff of 413, sat down next to Li Zheng and started chatting with Li Zheng about praying to heaven without even taking a bite of rice.
"After reading it today, what do you think?"
The brigade chief of staff of Army Group A sat at the same table as several brigade chiefs of staff of theater Z. Ma Liang was not simply asking Li Zheng, because when he spoke, his eyes looked around and looked at everyone.
once.
Obviously, he was asking everyone.
Jiangdong, the chief of staff of the 122nd Brigade in Theater Z, said: "It's very shocking."
Ma Liang was obviously very dissatisfied with this answer, and asked: "Is that the shock and that's all?"
Jiang Dong said: "What can we do?"
Ma Liang said: "In more than three months, the Hongshan-02 series of exercises will begin. You are behind us. Do you have any way to deal with it? Everyone communicates. Now we are all comrades in the same trench, brainstorming.
Well!"
Jiang Dong said: "Come on, Lao Ma, what you said is right. When did we stop being comrades in the same trench? Are you the national army?"
Ma Liang became anxious: "That's not what I meant. I meant that we all faced the same situation during the exercise."
After finishing speaking, I looked around. Everyone was immersed in eating, and no one seemed to pay attention to me.
Ma Liang was a little depressed.
He caught Liao Qiming, the chief of staff of the 422 Brigade with whom he had a good relationship, and said: "Old Liao, you usually talk the most, why don't you express your opinion today?"
Liao Qiming glanced at Ma Liang, picked up a piece of spareribs with chopsticks, and without putting it in his mouth, pointed at it and said, "Look, doesn't the meat on this sparerib smell good?"
Ma Liang thought that Liao Qiming was asking him about the cooking skills in the cooking class here, so he said: "The cooking skills here are not bad. Why are you asking about this?"
Liao Qiming sighed and put the ribs back into the basin.
"The White Eagle Brigade is the meat on this piece of ribs. Before Hongshan-01, no one could beat the White Eagle Brigade. Now whoever can beat him, Wen Zhaohui, is this——"
After saying that, he gave a thumbs up.
"But no matter how fragrant the meat is, you have to have good teeth to tear it off and swallow it in your stomach. The problem is, everyone saw their combat command system today, are you impressed? It's not like we haven't electronicized and digitized it.
The problem is that the system we played before was still very primitive compared to their White Eagle Brigade. Yes, we have developed a system, but most of it is for maintaining communications. Information and intelligence analysis is all manual. Others have already
I just thought of using AI, what about us?"
He spread his hands.
"Now that someone has shown it to us, we suddenly realize that combat commanders can still make decisions like this. But the problem is, there are still a few months to go. Even if we know what the problem is now, even if we are willing to fix it, will it be useful? No
Speaking of other things, let’s just talk about the command system and their big data. How long will it take you to establish it? They invited us here today and they didn’t even ask us to learn. It’s simply humiliating.”
His words touched Ma Liang's weakness.
In fact, who doesn’t have this idea?
After visiting the White Eagle Brigade's Brigade Command Operations Center, everyone present was deeply impressed.
That kind of overwhelming shock, the super ability to formulate a brigade-level combat plan in 15 minutes, everyone, even the chief of staff, knows how big the gap is after just a little calculation in his heart.
"Oh... then we can only take it one step at a time..."
Ma Liang originally thought he could find inspiration for solutions from others.
Now it seems that there is a table of people sitting here, and no one has a solution.
People at the table began to eat in silence again.
The atmosphere was a bit decadent.
At this time, Li Zheng suddenly spoke.
"Old Liao, you're right. It's probably too late to fix the situation now, but there's no need for everyone to lose momentum before they fight. Aren't you just falling into the trap of Brigadier Wen?"
Ma Liang raised his head from the rice bowl, looked at Li Zheng and said, "What's the plan?"
"Conquering the enemy without fighting." Li Zheng smiled: "Do you think Brigadier Wen asked Minister Long to invite us here to have good food and accommodation and to take us to visit other people's houses? Do you think he wants you to do so?
After watching it, are you in a happy mood to have a clash of strengths with them?"
Ma Liang heard something else.
Several others also smelled something wrong.
"Lao Li, you seem to be very calm. Do you have any ace in your hand?" Liao Qiming couldn't help but guess.
Li Zheng said: "Let me tell you the truth. In fact, since I took office, we have been upgrading the intelligent and digital combat capabilities of our brigade, especially in terms of battlefield reconnaissance, intelligence analysis, and rapid decision-making. Our brigades actually have to talk about soldiers.
The quality and ability of grassroots officers are no worse than those of the White Eagle Brigade. Don't let their soldiers be intimidated just because their soldiers can speak a few words in English. In the final analysis, the difference is only in digitalization, intelligence and the use of artificial intelligence. It is not insurmountable.
bridge the gap.”
Ma Liang said: "Brother, it seems that you have been prepared for a long time. I want to ask a question..."
He asked curiously: "To what extent has your brigade's digital command system reached?"
Li Zheng said: "In terms of intelligence and big data computing, there is still a little gap with the White Eagle Brigade, but in terms of information intelligence analysis and communications, it is no worse than them."
"sharp……"
Ma Liang showed an expression of admiration.
"Young people are still capable. We didn't even think of starting in this area, but you did."
Li Zheng said: "Don't be fooled by Lao Wen. He invited us here just to make us lose psychologically. As long as we lose psychologically, we will lose the confrontation in three months before we even fight."
Liao Qiming said: "But their AI intelligence intervenes in combat command and provides tactical basis for commanders. This is really amazing. When I saw that data center, I wanted to rob people. No wonder people say that in the 21st century,
What’s most important is talent!”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Zheng said: "In fact, AI is just AI after all. AI is not a human being. No matter how powerful its computing power is, it has limitations, at least for now. The AI system of the White Eagle Brigade
It looks quite powerful, but in the eyes of us and the experts, it’s not that scary.”
Ma Liang said: "Really?"
"Because humans are alive and have absolute self-awareness, the difference between humans and machines lies in the randomness and variability brought about by human autonomy." Li Zheng said: "Let me give you an example. They don't mean that in the database
Do you have detailed information about each of us, and use AI to judge and profile our tactics? So, if your old horse and the White Eagle Brigade are now practicing a confrontation, the AI calculates that your old horse must be heavily deployed on the front, maybe
The accuracy is 95%, so your old horse will definitely deploy heavy defense on the front? To put it another way, the profiling method of AI is analyzed based on your past battle examples. Your old horse suddenly cramped that day.
I no longer defend, and I no longer defend from the front. I engage in an empty city strategy. The front is full of camouflage troops and a small number of troops. I organize all the troops to flank Chencang secretly, and I attack with all the troops. Is that okay? Do you think the AI will calculate your attack?
Decision? Even if it can calculate it, it lists all possibilities. If the probability is less than 50%, it is a tactical plan. No one on the information analysis side will send it to Wen Zhaohui's desk. Do you think that's right?
"
Ma Liang, Liao Qiming and other chiefs of staff carefully studied Li Zheng's words, but there were too many things in them that needed to be digested.
After all, Li Zheng's original intention is to tell everyone that people are difficult to predict, especially excellent commanders who have undergone rigorous training. An excellent commander is difficult to predict.
"Actually, don't feel guilty. Give yourself some confidence. Let me give you another example -"
Li Zheng picked up the soup bowl, took a sip of soup, then put it down gently and said: "The quality and ability of our soldiers are the foundation, whether it is AI, digitization, or no matter how powerful the system is, it is all built on the foundation.
High-rise building. If..."
Having said this, he laughed, simply shut up and whetted his appetite.
In the end, Ma Liang couldn't help it anymore and asked urgently: "Lao Li, you are trying to tell the answer to the riddle! You can't say half the words and accept the other half, it's not authentic!"
Li Zheng said: "The high-rise building on your foundation is not as high as others, so try to demolish the building. Everyone's buildings have been demolished, which is the time to compare who has the most stable foundation. In recent years, equipment has been updated so fast, and high-tech equipment
More and more, if there is an automatic loader, there is no need to practice manual loading? If there is an AI system, there is no need for information analysts to learn manual analysis? With ballistic computers in the artillery, don't they need to learn to calculate the computer and write passwords?
?”
After saying that, Li Zheng picked up his rice bowl, stood up and left.
The chiefs of staff at the table were stunned for a long time.
Finally, a chief of staff of the N Military Region asked: "Chief of Staff Li of 433 looks very young, much younger than us..."
Ma Liang said: "The 32-year-old chief of staff, I feel awkward calling him Lao Li..."
The chief of staff said: "It looks like the level is very high."
Ma Liang sneered and said, "The master soldier did it, what do you think?"
"No wonder..."
Several people who didn't know Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh. They quickly recalled every word Li Zheng said just now, kept it in their hearts, and chewed it again when they came back.
