Chapter 520: Go to visit the staff

"General please." Shang Wen guided Li Mu to visit some military facilities of the military academy.

Then Li Mu, accompanied by Shang Wen, went on to visit some of the infrastructure of the Qin Army.

The Qin Jun student dormitory is simple, but very messy. Except for some clothes and guns, everything else is displayed. This is also true of Zhao Jun. Marching wars usually don't care about these. This is a common problem in the military. As long as you win the war, no one will care about it. But if the battle is not won. You tidy up the place where you live is very clean and useless. Maybe it's useful. That is, it is easy to pack up personal belongings after death.

Qin Jun's infrastructure is very complete. Toilets, collective baths. These have special places. And there are dedicated soldiers taking turns on duty. This can effectively prevent soldiers from withdrawing from combat due to other diseases in the barracks. But Li Mu learned that such facilities are sometimes available in every military base in Qin. He was stunned. Why can the Qin army maintain a strong combat effectiveness? These facilities are enough for them to fight with peace of mind. Such living conditions are no worse than those of ordinary people in Handan.

Then came Qin Jun's restaurant. Clean and tidy. The same as what Li Mu saw when he was resting. This is also a buffet-style restaurant. Soldiers can eat whatever they want. Eat as much as you can.

Then came Qin Jun's course arrangement. Qin Jun's division of subjects has reached the maximum range of Li Mu's knowledge. Infantry, cavalry, artillery, transport, engineer, medic, and infantry also have various divisions. The division of these arms opened Li Mu's horizons.

The heavenly army did not open to Li Mu. The reason was that the heavenly army went out to the northern training base for parachuting and flight training. Some theoretical courses are also being changed to actual teaching. The effect of teaching like that is very good.

However, most of the Army’s courses are concentrated in classrooms. For example, when working on maps, Qin State began to use precise scales on maps, and at the same time invented a series of symbols as geographic coordinates. There is also the use of a large number of measurement tools. Especially artillery. Unfortunately, at this time, the latitude and longitude still did not appear on the map. Because it takes time to measure latitude and longitude. Moreover, it is very necessary for people to travel to various places to perform measurements and calculations. Finally, summarize and calculate.

However, there are still surprises. Qin also has a map specially marked with contour lines. This is of great significance to Qin. Map work usually starts by pressing a map under a large glass plate. Because they can't erase the writing of the brush or pencil. And to draw a map, it usually takes a long time for engineering surveyors to complete. In order to increase the utilization rate. They had to tile the map underneath. Then press the glass plate up, and then use an ink pen to work on the map. After one person finishes it. Another person wiped it off with a rag and started again. The development of Qin State on the map made Li Mu envy. But when he took the map to communicate with the students. There was a desire in his wink. He very much hopes to have such a map.

Shang Wen took Li Mu to a large lecture hall. A staff war game is being held here. These staff officers are all major lieutenant colonel officers. Among them, it is very likely that the future will be the generals of Qin State. They are conducting a simulation of a battle. The huge sand table allowed the red and white sides to carry out the relevant countermeasures that the staff members worked out intensely, as well as the possible response to the impact. And these are provided for the commander's reference opinions, and the staff members said to do. Not only that, they must be involved in the formulation of the marching route and the arrangement of the army. And for a marching plan. They often have to develop more other programs to supplement. This is very complicated and messy.

Li Mu undoubtedly knew about Qin's establishment of a staff department when he was on the train, so he paid special attention to this department with a strange name. He doesn't know what the department is going to do. But his role is obvious. The exercise arranges the marching route and what kind of transportation to use to reach the designated location. This is a university question. This is more important than how to fight. Qin Jun was able to set up such a department. Obviously Qin Jun attaches great importance to it.

"This is?" Li Mu asked.

"These are the staff officers of the Qin Army. They are all selected from the frontline officers of the Qin Army. Let them learn how to be good staff officers, and then send them to some units above the regiment level as staff officers. These staff officers will be based on their combat experience. Provide some advice to their chief military officer. Although they do not have command rights, they can specify a plan. When formulating this plan, it is equivalent to absorbing the essence of thinking of two or more people." Shang Wen explained.

"En." Li Mu nodded. Li Mu knew very well that by doing this, the Qin Army was reducing the probability of military mistakes made by the Qin Army. Moreover, with the changes in weapons of war, especially weapons with greater lethality, such as artillery. If the chief military officer does not have this knowledge, he especially needs an officer who can provide this talent as a helper. Not only artillery, but also meticulous style. A large number of new technologies have changed the mode of war into another mode, and the old days of arranging troops alone have passed. Instead, a group of people provide a plan, and a person with strong ancient decision-making ability adopts the plan to command.

"Right. You didn't establish a staff. I want to see it, can I?" Li Mu asked.

"Yes, it's just that you came to Qin, General, and you are struggling. I think you should take a rest." Shang Wen said.

"No, no, your train is very comfortable. And it's fast. The place is spacious. It's not tired at all." Li Mu said.

"Well, we will visit the staff in Xianyang. It is Qin's command center." Shang Wen said.

So the two called a carriage, and then went into Xianyang City without stopping. Li Mu is not resting. Watching the changes in Qin State without daring to blink his eyes. He hopes to remember the great changes in Qin State through what he has seen and heard. But Shang Wen looked a little tired. But Li Mu was not tired at all.

The changes in Qin State have exceeded Li Mu's imagination. Qin's four-wheeled carriages are everywhere, and the clothes of Qin people have undergone great changes. Glass and mirrors have begun to become popular. There are so many products. Many Li Mu don't know what these things do. At this time, it happened to be in time for Qin's holiday. Because Qin uses October as the first month, people are busy preparing for the New Year. Li Mu was surprised by the natural many products.
