Chapter 1339: Taking stock, 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 lowest temperature 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 sting of ice crystals condensing in the nasal cavity.
The earth was covered with a thick layer of white frost, as if wearing a silver-white coat.
Whenever the cold wind blows, pieces of snowflakes are rolled 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 sharp 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 cold, and many people's eyebrows and beards were covered with ice crystals, the surrounding environment calmed down and the tense nerves were still relaxed at this moment.
Almost everyone had a happy smile on their face, with both an inexplicable excitement and an inexplicable expectation.
The war is over.
In fact, even though this expedition has only lasted ten days from the beginning to the present.
But for earth players who have never set foot on a real battlefield, it can still be regarded as a hellish experience.
In this context, 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 the official 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 begin 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 animals with simple thinking will keep a hand when fighting the enemy 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 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 insufficient 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 central command tent, 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 victory.
In the tent, simple but sturdy tables and chairs, about a dozen of them, were placed around the large table in the center.
Su Mo sat in the center, chatting quietly with Su Deben and Feng Tianmin. From time to time, the conversation 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 look.
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.
And the expedition was successful, but there were countless problems 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 that everyone will Everyone can analyze our shortcomings and mistakes more deeply. 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 shy and afraid to speak out in front of the lord, but please remember that our goal is to make progress together for future victory. If you are uncomfortable saying it in person, you can write it down. Come down and leave it to me, we will face the problem together and improve together.”
It is easy to examine one's own problems, but it is difficult to talk about other people's problems.
In a precise watch, every part has its own unique and indispensable role.
Similarly, 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, and it is impossible to win the entire battle with just one part.
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 arranging 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 material allocation can be completed quickly with a signed handbook, 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 the allocation of supplies, I have to go through cumbersome review procedures before I can receive them. Imagine what the consequences of this delay would be on an emergency 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 indignation on his face: "How can you talk like that? It was obviously you who broke the rules first!"
"Although you brought it Each of the oracles was within a small amount, but 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 directly release the supplies, but just in case. If there is a problem, who will bear the responsibility?
What's more, I must also point out a big problem in your logistics department. You actually let the mobilized soldiers carry handbooks to receive supplies. This is really bold. Stunning! How do you ensure the loyalty of these untrained conscripts? Can you afford the consequences if these people escape with important supplies?"
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.
You won’t let me, and 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. They will be added to our rules in the future to make up for the previous loopholes."
There are many problems in the Logistics Department and the Campaign Mission Department, but because of the control Due to the power of speech and material rights in the army, almost no one dares to point fingers at it these days.
Seeing Su Mo nod 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 while, other people became bolder and began to complain.
“As for our reconnaissance 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 we failed to cause any casualties. numbers, but the harassment 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, so we failed to 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 clicked retorted angrily, "After the low temperature, the signal of our communicator was attenuated too seriously, and there were often delays or errors in information transmission. Even if the scouts found something, if the information could not be transmitted back , or it’s passed back but changed, so what’s the use? You think it’s an investigation problem, but it’s actually our communication’s fault!”
“You are shirking responsibility by saying that! Is there 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 predictions in advance and reduce the risk of being attacked by surprise."
"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 We provide stable and efficient communication support at the rear, instead of listening to you here to accuse them of not doing their job well. 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 must naturally create an atmosphere for telling the truth.
It's 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 page.
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 challenges after every battle. The pressure of treatment? The number of wounded far exceeds our processing capacity, and many soldiers were forced to die because they could not receive timely treatment! Did your tactical planning department consider our actual situation when formulating the battle plan? The target of the first complaint was Feng Long.
Due to the great victory in the Battle of Black Rock City, Feng Long still fought aggressively against 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 reduce casualties as much as possible, but this does not mean that we can sacrifice tactical objectives." 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 They are treated as expendables! If the tactical planning is more thorough, perhaps our casualties will be much less!"
The repeated sarcasm caused Feng Long's expression to change:
"Protect 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 current conditions. If your medical team can improve the treatment efficiency, don't use those damn instruments all the time. If something goes wrong, maybe our casualties will not be as high as they are now.”
"."
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and everyone has a lot of questions and is naturally not afraid of the other party's shortcomings.
Besides, no matter what, the final result of this expedition is an undoubted victory.
Under this premise, reviewing the problem areas is more like having already obtained the points that should be obtained, and striving for some excess points beyond the ability.
At first Somo 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 Feng Tianmin and Su Deben have the headache.
I remembered that this guy Yehu was not allowed to attend the meeting because he did not 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.
Earth players can all learn Blue Star language. There is no reason why Blue Star people cannot 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.
Su Mo couldn't help but feel happy, maybe this is why happiness must override other people's pain.
From dusk to early morning, after a late night snack, a group of people continued to quarrel until early morning.
The guards guarding the gate looked at each other. The sound of slaps and curses coming from time to time kept them from relaxing all night, for fear that there would be a fight inside and they would not be able to enter the fight immediately.
But fortunately, because of Sumo's presence, these people were relatively restrained.
It's okay to scold, but not to take action.
It is 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.
With the end of the disaster coming, the temperature in the outside world has also begun to rise significantly.
At least the cold wind blowing over is no longer biting, but just a little bit penetrating.
"Okay, we have to rush back in the afternoon. What we gained 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 it would never happen again after such a long time.
The days of peace are passing quickly.
Humanity has entered a fork 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 dared not make a conclusion.
