Chapter 1339: Taking inventory, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes
!
When the large army slowly retreated with the heavy armored convoy like a torrent of steel and arrived at the rear station of Black Rock City, an indescribable atmosphere of chilling was relieved.
At this time, there is only the last day left before the end of the cold spring weather.
The entire New World is enveloped in severe cold. As the coldest area except the northern ice sheet, the temperature in the central Holy Land has reached minus 32 degrees.
The severe cold seemed to freeze the whole world, and the air was filled with biting coldness. It was as if even breathing could feel the stinging pain of ice crystals condensing in the nasal cavity.
The earth was covered with a thick layer of white frost, as if it was wearing a silver-white coat.
Whenever the cold wind blows, snowflakes are picked up. They dance in the air like elves, but when the snowflakes fall on the face, they are as sharp as a knife, making people feel a biting pain.
Fortunately, before the trip started, the territory had already prepared enough heavy cotton coats, cold-proof gloves, hats and other equipment.
Even though it was still difficult to resist the chill, and many people's eyebrows and beards were covered with ice crystals, the surrounding environment calmed down and their tense nerves were still relaxed at this moment.
Almost everyone had a happy smile on their face, showing both an inexplicable excitement and an inexplicable expectation.
The war is over.
In fact, this expedition only lasted ten days from the beginning to the present.
But for players on Earth who have never set foot on a real battlefield, it can still be considered a hellish experience.
Against this background, the impact of the Battle of Black Rock City is destined to be far-reaching.
Not only does it set the tone for the next all-out war between humans and aliens, it will also sound the clarion call for a formal war!
It can be said that as long as the news of this war spreads, the war between humans and aliens will have a basic template.
How does the war start and how does it end?
How to treat prisoners in war, how to deal with the aftermath after siege, how to deal with captured materials, etc.
How to exchange hostages after the war, how to agree on the next battle, etc. will all be carefully examined and summarized.
After all, even simple-thinking animals will have a hand in hand when fighting enemies to avoid excessive fighting.
Humans and aliens will not devote all their strength to just one battle. This is neither in the common interests of both parties nor in line with the ultimate demands of the war.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the current Tianyuan territory.
Even if the dwarves want to take revenge next, they must carefully consider the consequences and costs.
Based on the combat effectiveness shown in this battle, the Tianyuan Army may still be lacking in the siege battle.
But if the dwarves dare to travel thousands of kilometers for an expedition, even mobilizing troops can guarantee that the dwarves will learn an unforgettable lesson.
Black Rock City temporary camp.
In the command tent in the center, the lights are dim but warm.
The commanders who participated in the Battle of Black Rock City filed in. Although many of them had fatigue after the battle on their faces, their eyes shone with the light of victory.
Inside the tent, simple but sturdy tables and chairs were placed around a large table in the center, about a dozen of them.
Sumo sat in the center, chatting quietly with Su Deben and Feng Tianmin. The conversation often revealed deep reflections on the battle and plans for the future.
Almost ten minutes passed, and as the last person took his seat, the chatter gradually stopped, and everyone's face showed a serious and serious expression.
Everyone knows clearly that the celebration banquet can be held grandly after returning to the territory, but the temporary summary after the war cannot be delayed.
Moreover, the expedition was successful, but numerous problems were exposed.
Feng Tianmin stood up, coughed slightly and then slowly said: "On the way back, I believe everyone has made a preliminary summary of this battle. But in this temporary summary meeting, I hope everyone can understand it more deeply.
Analyze our shortcomings and mistakes. Only by truly facing our own weaknesses can we accumulate valuable experience for the next expedition."
He paused and continued: "Of course, I understand that some people may feel reserved in front of the lord and dare not speak out. But please remember that our goal is to make progress together for future victory. If you have any inconvenience
If you say it in person, you can write it down and give it to me, and we can face the problem together and make improvements together."
It is easy to examine one's own problems, but difficult to talk about other people's problems.
A precision clock, every part has its own unique and indispensable role.
In the same way, the power of a war machine that can continuously win wars lies in the perfect synergy and seamless cooperation between its various parts.
In a chaotic war background like the wasteland, no part can exist in isolation, let alone a single part that can win the entire battle.
And when problems arise, choosing to turn a blind eye or avoid the important ones will often lead to disaster.
"There's nothing hard to say, Commander Feng. I can give you an example."
As soon as Feng Tianmin finished speaking, Wang Qian, who was responsible for allocating campaign tasks below, stood up resolutely and expressed his dissatisfaction: "I have to severely criticize our logistics department. According to the established rules, small amount of material allocation only needs to last
It can be completed quickly with a signed oracle, and the subsequent secondary review is mainly to confirm that the amount is correct. However, in the past few days, every time I apply for allocation of supplies, I have to go through cumbersome review procedures before I can receive it. Just imagine
, what consequences will this delay bring on an urgent battlefield?"
Wang Qian's words were like a match, instantly igniting Liu Shiming's anger. As the head of the logistics department, he stood up on the spot and retorted with anger on his face: "How can you talk like that? It was obviously you who destroyed it first.
Got the rules!”
"Although each of the oracles you brought was within the small value range, you brought thirty of them at once, and the combined amount almost touched the edge of excessive supplies. You asked me to skip the second review and go directly
Distribute supplies, but if something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility?
What's more, I must also point out a big problem in your logistics department. You actually let the conscripts carry handwritten letters to receive supplies. This kind of bold behavior is really staggering! How do you ensure that these untrained conscripts, they
What is your loyalty? If these people escape with important supplies, can you afford the consequences?"
The sudden confrontation and dispute were like a storm breaking the original tranquility.
The atmosphere that was peaceful just now suddenly became tense.
Wang Qian said something, Liu Shiming said something, and the two even started to curse while talking.
If you don't let me, I won't let you.
"That's right. You two sit down first. If you have any questions, we can discuss them slowly. There is no need to escalate to a personal attack." Seeing that a fight was about to start, Feng Tianmin quickly spoke out to calm down:
"The ones you just proposed are very good. If they are added to our rules in the future, they will just make up for the previous loopholes."
The Logistics Department and the Operational Mission Department have many problems, but because they have the right to speak and materials in the army, almost no one dares to point fingers at them these days.
Seeing Su Mo nodding slightly, he was not angry that the expedition team was so chaotic, nor did he react to the quarrel between Wang Qian and Liu Shiming.
For a time, other people became bolder and began to complain.
"As for our investigation work, I must say that there are indeed quite a few shortcomings! During the battle to attack the three tribes behind us, we were harassed and attacked by the enemy many times at night. Although there were no casualties, the harassment was still there.
It dealt a heavy blow to our morale. I think this is not because of anything else but because our reconnaissance work was not done well, which is why we did not discover the enemy's movements and intentions in time!"
"Fart! The investigation work is not done well? Why don't you tell us how bad our communication system is!"
The person who was called out angrily retorted, "After the low temperature, the signal of our communicator was attenuated too seriously, and there were often delays or errors in the transmission of information. Even if the scouts discovered something, if the information could not be transmitted back, or it would be changed when it was transmitted back.
If that’s the case, what’s the use? You think it’s a matter of investigation, but in fact it’s basically the fault of our communications!”
"You are shirking responsibility by saying that! Communication is a problem, but there is no problem with reconnaissance? If we can understand the enemy's activity patterns more deeply and conduct reconnaissance more frequently, then even if there is some delay in communication, we can make decisions in advance
Anticipate and reduce the risk of sudden attack.”
"Prejudgment? You put it lightly! Without accurate and timely information transmission, how can you predict? Do you know how much risk frontline scouts take to obtain information?
What they need is stable and efficient communication support from our rear, rather than listening to you here accusing them of not doing their job properly. Investigation and communication complement each other, and if there is a problem, you cannot blame only one party!"
have to.
Finally the quarrel started!
Sumo lowered his head slightly and couldn't help the smile on his lips.
If you want to hear the truth, you naturally have to create an atmosphere for telling the truth.
It's very good now. It seems that Wang Qian and Liu Shiming's acting skills are really good, so many people have not noticed it.
When the heated argument ended, it turned out that there was another loophole issue that could fill a whole piece of paper.
And this time, as soon as the two of them finished speaking, someone else immediately picked up:
"I really can't understand why our medical team always faces huge treatment pressure after every battle? The number of wounded far exceeds our processing capacity, and many soldiers are forced to sacrifice because they cannot receive timely treatment!
When your tactical planning department formulated the combat plan, did you consider our actual situation?" The target of this complaint was Feng Long.
Due to the great victory in the Battle of Black Rock City, Feng Long continued to advance aggressively when dealing with the six tribes.
This resulted in the Tianyuan Army, which had little real battlefield experience, with a high battle loss rate.
Especially when attacking the fourth gathering place, they were ambushed by dwarves, causing hundreds of Tianyuan Army soldiers to be seriously injured, and were forced to be rushed to the port and returned to the territory for treatment.
"My colleagues in the medical team, we respect your work very much, but there will always be casualties in battles. The first priority of tactical planning is to win the battle, not to make it easy for the medical team. Of course, we will also try to consider reducing
Casualties, but this does not mean that tactical objectives can be sacrificed." Feng Long looked embarrassed and explained repeatedly.
"That's a nice thing to say. Yes, victory is of course very important, but if all the soldiers die, what's the point of victory? You should pay more attention to protecting the lives of soldiers instead of treating them as consumables!
If the tactics were more carefully planned, perhaps our casualties would be much less!"
The constant sarcasm caused Feng Long's expression to change:
"Protecting the lives of soldiers? You put it lightly! The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can there be so many ifs and maybes? The tactical plan we have formulated is already the optimal solution under the existing conditions. If your medical team can improve the treatment efficiency, let us
If those damn instruments don't always have problems, maybe our casualties won't be as high as they are now."
""
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. If everyone has a lot of questions, they are naturally not afraid of being exposed.
What's more, no matter how you say it, the final result of this expedition is an undoubted victory.
Under this premise, when reviewing the problem areas, it is more like having already obtained the points that should be obtained, and striving for some excess points beyond the ability.
At first, Soma was happy to hear it, but as he went on, he became more and more confused.
This seemingly logically tight system of rules is like a sieve in the constant quarrels.
There are problems everywhere, problems everywhere.
How to change it?
Where to start?
How to verify the effect after making changes?
The ensuing problems are a headache.
Forget it, let's leave it to Feng Tianmin and Su Deben to deal with the headache.
I remembered that this guy Yehu was not allowed to attend the meeting because he didn't understand Chinese.
Su Mo sneered and decided on the spot to arrange for four Chinese teachers to teach Yehu around the clock when he returned.
Players on Earth can all learn Blue Star language, so there is no reason why Blue Star people can't learn Chinese language.
Wait until the next time this kind of meeting is held, think about the scene where Yehu was pointed at his nose and complained about, and then Hongwen.
Sumo couldn't help but feel happy, maybe this is why happiness must override other people's pain.
From dusk to early morning, a group of people continued to quarrel until early morning after having a late-night snack.
The several guards guarding the door looked at each other in confusion. The sound of slaps and curses coming from time to time kept them from relaxing all night, for fear that a fight would break out inside and they would not be able to intervene immediately.
But fortunately, because of Somo's presence, these people were relatively restrained.
It's okay to scold, but not to take action.
It's okay to talk about things, but not to expose shortcomings.
It was almost early six o'clock, and the quarrels in the tent gradually began to stop.
As the disaster comes to an end, the temperature in the outside world has also shown a clear upward trend.
At least the cold wind blowing over was no longer biting, but just a little bit penetrating.
"Okay, we have to rush back in the afternoon. The harvest tonight is enough for us to study for a long time."
Sumo stood up and finally ended the summary meeting that lasted more than ten hours.
Perhaps there will be many more such meetings in the future.
But he believed that after such a long time, it should not happen again.
The days of peace are passing quickly.
Humanity has entered a fork in the road where it is necessary to choose a side immediately.
How to choose?
Even if he had the information in the ruins of the future, Sumo still didn't dare to say for sure.
