In Tokyo, North America, General Qi Rui led a dozen other generals to visit the military computing center. There are many computer rooms on each floor of the huge building. There are many shelves in each computer room, and many boxes are placed on the shelves. The cold air from the air conditioner is input from the ventilation vent, but there is still a problem of relatively high temperature in the room. "We are planning to build a computing center in the mountainous area further north. Chairman Wei has already approved a sixty-year prism plan." Qi Rui spoke in a calm tone when mentioning his father, as if Chairman Wei Zewei and Qi Rui had no blood relationship. Same. "Why in the north?" Comrade was a little confused. "Safety and cooling. In the north, air conditioning is not used much to cool down the computer room for four to six months. The cold air of more than ten degrees below zero is exchanged and cannot be heated even if it wants to." Qi Rui explained happily. When it was mentioned that this was an order from Governor Wei Ze, the first reaction of all the soldiers was that they must follow the orders of the Governor. For the Liberation Army, this is something that does not need to be considered. If the Liberation Army was made to doubt Governor Wei Ze's orders, the Liberation Army would probably also think that the sun is triangular. When we arrived at the combat command room, we saw a huge sand table inside, which displayed the terrain of Eastern Europe that was currently engaged in fierce fighting. On mountains, swamps, plains, rivers, and coasts, small models representing various combat units are placed in various locations. The names and codes of many calculation formulas were written on the whiteboard. When the generals saw these codes, they felt a headache. Captain Weiser said that mathematics is a game for geniuses. Learning the formulas produced by these geniuses has left painful memories for soldiers who are not mathematical geniuses. Qi Rui pointed to a row of armored vehicles on the sand table and said: "The Hungarian Red Army implemented the tactics of deep encirclement and encirclement, and it was difficult for them to gather so many transport trucks. In addition, the armored vehicles we gave them were all light. If there were more than a dozen For armored vehicles weighing more than 20 tons, they really don¡¯t have that much oil. ¡°There is no need to think about mysterious mathematical formulas and enter into common human analogy thinking. The generals immediately feel that they are full of vitality and vitality again. "Can the Hungarian Red Army's air force keep up?" The chief of staff who followed Qi Rui immediately replied: "The new reconnaissance aircraft has a range of 1,000 kilometers, and its coverage of the entire Ukraine is only so-so. We have long suggested that the Hungarian Red Army build new reconnaissance aircraft in the occupied areas. "At the airport, according to the report, the Hungarian Red Army has done a good job." "Is this a plan to control the war from a distance?" General Ma Xiaoming heard the clue. Qi Rui nodded, "Old Ma, we can't send a large number of personnel to Hungary to take command. If you go to take command, I think the battle will be successful. But there is no way to send you." Ma Xiaoming asked in surprise: "Are you ready for the analysis? ?¡± Qi Rui said lightly: ¡°Give me some battle parameters.¡± Ma Xiaoming thought for a moment, ¡°If 60% of the Russian army is surrounded, 40% of the Russian army will fight on the outside.¡± The chief of staff immediately started facing the sand table. Tell. The goals and execution of this campaign are very clear, and every step is extremely clearly calculated. After talking about this, the chief of staff pointed to the equations on the whiteboard outside, "Those equations are calculated data for each battle. If you plug in the data that will be coming soon, you will have the results later." "Results?" Ma Xiaoming asked. Stunned. He originally thought that what the staff gave was a response strategy. Not only Ma Xiaoming was surprised, but the other generals were also puzzled. War is an ever-changing action, and the situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. How can there be a set of unchanging equations? The chief of staff continued to explain: "We have made the characteristics of each arm of ours and the enemy into parameters, and used a matrix to analyze the possible combination modes of each arm. Including their execution characteristics and limits, we can now analyze them at the battalion level The unit is the base point. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Russians is limited, and the combat effect that a company can achieve is limited" All the contents seemed to be understood by these soldiers, but they seemed not to understand at all. However, after more than half an hour of explanation, the first batch of data came back, and the deduction on the sand table began immediately. The battlefield is in a state of fog of war, and various combinations are deduced, and judgments are made based on reactions. After about four days of fighting, the Hungarian Red Army finally deduced from various data that not all of the enemy's main forces were within the encirclement. After learning this result, a decision was made within a week to attract 60% of the enemy's attention with a small number of troops, and to surround and annihilate 40% of the enemy with the main force. Ma Xiaoming was not looked stupid, he quickly asked: "Hey! Why do you have to make such a judgment within a week?" Qi Rui glanced at the generals who looked stupid by the way of calculating cause and effect, and then replied : "Because the Hungarian Red Army needs to resolve the battle within four weeks. It is now September, and after October, southern Russia will completely enter the rainy season. The Red Army's logistics and transportation are basicallyStrong support. At that time, regardless of victory or defeat, they would need to retreat back to Romania. " "Why do you think this thing is like a fortune teller? "Ma Xiaoming asked on behalf of the dumbfounded generals. "Chief of Staff" Qi Rui asked the Chief of Staff to speak again. The Chief of Staff pointed to the sand table and continued, "We follow the most basic principles of war, including what the Russian army now has. Tell the bottom line. Comrades, Russia is located in an ice sheet, and their land is a tundra in a sense. In other words, the water content in the ground is very high because it is frozen several meters deep underground. So in winter, the ground is very hard. When the weather warms up, the surface appears to be recovering. However, the permafrost underground melts and the surface is compressed. A large amount of water seeps out from the ground, and the roads become muddy roads. We have also seen this kind of mud-pumping road in North America. Everyone must have an impression. In this kind of transportation environment, the Russians must have reliable strongholds, and these strongholds are parameters" Qi Rui himself has been tortured, so he asked the chief of staff to tell how the originally simple and clear understanding of war turned into inexplicable mathematics. Formula parameters, and then how the parameters turned into various formulas and matrices like a heavenly book. At this moment, Qi Rui saw Ma Xiaoming secretly making a gesture to him to go out and have a cigarette. Ten years ago, they often went out to smoke and relax. So they used various excuses to go out and ran to the smoking area on the roof of the computing center. Qi Rui took out a North American burley and gave Ma Xiaoming a puff. Ma Xiaoming said: "If you could really control it remotely, you would probably be a general. " "snort! Qi Rui sneered, "Even without this remote control, wouldn't I be able to become a general?" " "There has to be some excuse. Haha," Ma Xiaoming laughed. But he couldn't hold back his laughter as soon as he started. He laughed for half a minute before he stopped laughing, "I said Qi Rui, I thought you were really a talent twenty years ago. At that time, you came up with a transportation formula for motorized infantry, which made me dizzy. But I was dizzy at the time, but I could still understand. Now I can't understand it at all. And this is not a problem that cannot be understood, this is no longer the same idea. You're thinking beyond the trenches, soldier. It has reached the point where it is mysterious and mysterious, and mysterious and mysterious. " Qi Rui smiled proudly, and then answered Ma Xiaoming's question with the humility of a confident person, "Actually, it's still the same. If the Liberation Army didn't have this system, it would still be able to dominate the world. The function of this system is actually to increase the effective workload. Nothing, nothing. " "Effective workload! Ma Xiaoming immediately grasped the key point, "No wonder you became a general." " Qi Rui sighed nostalgically, "I still remember that when I was doing my thesis on motorized infantry, I was not good at math, so I hired my sister's classmate, an engineer from Nanjing's bus system. She modified the Nanjing traffic flow calculation equation and worked for several days to complete it. Now here is a computing center with hundreds of people and hundreds of computers performing calculations. I can guarantee that although we cannot simulate the real combat of the Russian army. Can't count those accidents. But the overall operations of Russia cannot be beyond our calculations. Computers will not stop here. Computers will become faster and faster and more powerful. Future wars will become more sophisticated and rational. " "Can you be rational enough to take human nature into account? Ma Xiaoming said with sarcasm, "We have all fought in wars. No matter how you calculate it, war is a human matter." It¡¯s all our own war. " Qi Rui received such a powerful counterattack, but he didn't look unhappy at all. Not only was he not unhappy, Qi Rui even nodded, "That's right. Computers are not here to direct our wars, but to serve our wars. After my father established the peace line, the Republic of China no longer had to consider a war model that would seriously damage the morale of the army. Under such circumstances, shouldn't war become more scientific? " Ma Xiaoming didn't refute, but he didn't agree either. He put out the cigarette butt and asked for a burley tobacco cigarette from Qi Rui, "This flavor is quite interesting. " Qi Rui smiled while giving him a cigarette: "North America is a pretty good place. There are just few people. In another twenty years, I think the population of North America will probably double. North America must have become lively at that time. " "It doesn't take twenty years. Four more weeks. As long as this remote command works, you are a general. The generals in our Liberation Army are all old brothers who followed His Majesty through life and death. There is only one general, the governor, and no marshal. I think you have a chance to become a marshal. ¡± ¡°I¡¯d like to lend you some good words. "Qi Rui smiled. He was not worried because he might not be able to become a general. These things are not Qi Rui's business. It is others who need Qi Rui to become a general, not Qi Rui himself who needs a general. Many people don't understand this. point, Qi Rui felt that after he understood this point, heI realized that fame and fame are just the feathers on the Phoenix body. First there is the phoenix, then there are feathers. Rather than the other way around.
