Bai Huawei mentioned Ding Zhennan and also mentioned the new military doctrine in a more obscure way, which obviously had other purposes.

Although he lacks experience, Jiang Wenlong is not stupid. He knows that Bai Huawei must not have said it casually, otherwise he would not have asked him to come to the open-air corridor outside.

"At the beginning, almost everyone, including me, thought Ding Zhennan was talking nonsense."

"New Military Doctrine?"

Bai Huawei shook his head, denying Jiang Wenlong's statement, and then said: "No matter what, the new military theory has very outstanding significance, at least it is a bold attempt, and there is no need to deny it. What makes us feel puzzled and unacceptable is actually a denial of the global war."

This time, Jiang Wenlong did not interrupt.

For him, the global war is entirely history, let alone personal experience, even if it is not a slight intersection with his witnesses.

"In the past decades, even hundreds of years, we have always believed that as long as we can mobilize all our strength, we can defeat all enemy countries through a large-scale war, at least the most important opponents, with the largest population, the most complete industrial system and the most powerful military power in the world."

Speaking of this, Bai Huawei sighed, but he didn't let Jiang Wenlong speak.

"If we really want to say, in the First Global War, we were only one step away from this purpose. If it weren't for the sudden betrayal of the Naoyi Empire and the Newland Federation's joining the alliance group, it would have been another result. Unfortunately, this is just our wishful assumption."

"The problem is that even if this assumption becomes reality, we will win a great victory in the First Global War, and the results we can get will not be much better than now, that is, the Second Global War. In fact, after defeating the Alliance Group, we still have to face the Tianman Empire."

When Jiang Wenlong said these words, Bai Huawei was just listening carefully and had no intention of expressing his opinion.

"Besides, with the technical level of the First Global War, it is extremely difficult to attack Newland's local area across the ocean and basically cannot succeed."

Jiang Wenlong is not just talking casually. After all, some people now like to review the first global war and come up with completely different results through deductions.

Jiang Wenlong has always sneered at this.

At this time, Bai Huawei nodded slightly.

To be honest, amphibious landing operations have always been the number one problem for the navy, and it was not until the Second Global War that the carrier-based aviation army developed, that there was an essential change. In all previous wars, the hope of winning amphibious landing operations was slim.

Historically, the Kingdom of Bran relied on longbowers to defeat the invading Locke army at the beachhead.

In fact, even in modern times, even in the first global war, there are few classic examples of winning and winning.

For example, in order to defeat the Ter Empire, the Kingdom of Bran mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops and almost half of the navy to launch an unprecedented landing operation in the East Luxinhai. After several months of fierce battle, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed and killed, and several dreadnoughts were lost, but it ended in failure.

It was this landing battle that forced Chur, then Minister of the Navy, to resign.

Even more successful battle examples, such as the landing operation of the Nayi Army at the southern end of the Ice Storm Peninsula, suffered extremely heavy losses. Moreover, after the landing was successful, the breakthrough was not expanded in time due to insufficient subsequent investment, which greatly reduced the value of the landing success.

Fundamentally speaking, it is the lack of delivery ability from sea to land.

In fact, it is with this that the Bran Kingdom can dominate the world for hundreds of years, and just use a powerful fleet to crush the military threat from the Western Land power.

This characteristic also determines that the expedition is more defeated than the less.

There have been many similar cases in history.

For example, in the largest local war between the Liang Luo War and the First Global War, the Second Boer War, only dealing with tens of thousands of colonists who moved to the Xuan Continent, the Bran Kingdom used almost all its troops and burned out huge military expenses equivalent to two years of income, and achieved a terrible victory at the cost of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers. The key is that in the end, it still made a compromise and recognized the privileges of these colonists.

In this regard, the Liangxia Empire was the same.

The most representative one is the expedition to the Kingdom of Diwen.

After dominating the Fanyan Ocean, in the post-Chen Bingxun era, in order to expand the scope of the empire's interests and lay the foundation for entering Austria, the then commander-in-chief of the Navy Liu Zhentang proposed to attack the Diwen Kingdom, located in the southeastern region, which is north of the Austrian continent.

Because it was ruled by the colonists of the Tulip Kingdom, the Divin Kingdom is very special in the southeast and has little to do with other colonies.

However, its strategic value is very huge.

Using the Kingdom of Divine as a springboard, it can shorten the front line of long-range Austria by 90%, and it can also land in the West Coast region with a smaller population and easier success.

The key point is that the Diwen Kingdom is just a small country with a population of less than 500,000, and is mainly native to indigenous people. There are no 10,000 immigrants with strong combat effectiveness. Among them, there are only 2,000 men who can fight with weapons, and there are probably less than 1,000 who are willing to fight.

According to Liu Zhentang's plan, the Diwen Kingdom can go down in one go!

As a result, after investing three ground troops, half of the warships were used, they were unable to occupy the island with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square kilometers. After several years of fierce battles and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, the Imperial Navy had to withdraw its troops and gave up the idea of ​​capturing the Kingdom of Diwen.

In fact, it was through this war that the Kingdom of Diwen won the respect of the empire and officially announced its independence and founding after the Second Global War.

The Kingdom of Diwen became the only country controlled and dominated by Western colonial descendants.

It can be seen that during the First Global War, a landing operation that crossed the ocean and targeted the Newland Federation, second only to the empire, was not a risk at all, but sent thousands of soldiers into the slaughterhouse to make meaningless sacrifices.

Even in the late stage of the Second Global War more than 20 years later, when only the Republic of Newland was left, the imperial authorities could only choose to endure. According to the estimates made at that time, even if the combat plan with the least difficulty was chosen, there would be about 250,000 officers and soldiers in the landing stage. If they wanted to defeat the Republic of Newland, they would suffer more than 5 million casualties.

Obviously, this is a price that no one can accept.

Before this, the total casualties of the Imperial Army and Navy were less than 2 million!

The key is that such huge casualties will overshadow the victory. Even if you occupy the entire Beigu Continent, you will not be able to compensate for the losses suffered.

It can be seen that even if the First Global War is successfully completed, it will not be able to achieve a comprehensive victory.

The final outcome is no essential difference from the Second Global War.

To be said, the Second Global War itself is the continuation of the First Global War, and the victory of the Liangxia Empire came only more than 20 years later.

If that's the case, where will the overall victory come from?

Jiang Wenlong's ideas were very clear and he said it very directly, and he did not become cautious because Bai Huawei was the commander of the fleet.

Of course, this is actually the characteristic of young officers of the Imperial Navy.

"Just you said, we came to this conclusion after repeated deductions." Bai Huawei did not think that Jiang Wenlong was so bold. After all, he was not brave enough and could not enter the fleet headquarters. "Similarly, this conclusion also proves Ding Zhennan's point of view."

“Is the idea of ​​fighting a global war wrong?”

Bai Huawei nodded and said, "At that time, there were still some senior generals who were unwilling to accept it, and it was the navy general. However, this was nothing strange. The idea of ​​fighting a global war has existed for decades and has always been regarded as a treasure by us. More importantly, in less than a hundred years, two commanders at the level of war gods were born, which further strengthened our idea of ​​fighting a global war."

"this……"

"Another commander at the level of the God of War emerges, and we may be able to defeat all the Western powers led by the Republic of Newland in the Third Global War."

While saying this, Bai Huawei showed a bitter smile.

Jiang Wenlong was obviously a little embarrassed about this.

Everyone knows that Bai Huawei is Bai Zhizhan's son and the youngest son who is the most popular.

The main thing is that Bai Zhizhan got married late, and except for the eldest son, the next three were daughters, and they only had a second son and the youngest daughter in their later years. When Bai Zhizhan left the Naval Command, Bai Huawei happened to be a man and was admitted to the Imperial Naval Academy with the best results of that year.

From the day he put on his military uniform, he was considered the successor of the God of War, the commander of the Imperial Navy in the next global war.

In fact, this is mainly related to his performance when he was young.

Unfortunately, there are no geniuses in the world, but there are many stupid things that can help grow.

In short, Bai Huawei is more famous.

It’s not that his ability is not strong enough, but that he is far from consistent with his reputation.

According to a fairer statement, Bai Huawei's command talent is at most comparable to Liu Xiangzhen, and compared with Bai Zhizhan, the difference is not a little bit worse.

As for whether the third commander at the level of the war god will emerge in the next battle, it is hard to say.

In fact, there is little hope.

The key is that after the end of the Second Global War, the situation of peace has been maintained for more than 40 years. The veterans who were on the battlefield during the Second Global War have passed away, and even young officers are old, such as Zhou Yongtao, the current chief minister of the Empire.

During the Second Global War, Zhou Yongtao was only in his 20s and was a veritable young man.

From the perspective of inheritance, this generation represented by Bai Huawei is the last group of officers who can still get guidance from seniors who have participated in the war. In the future, even the top students from the Naval Academy may not be able to meet Liu Xiangzhen, let alone the principal will teach you in person.

What's worse is that after the war, there was no decent naval battle.

For decades, the main task of the Imperial Navy was to deal with and deal with small and unobedient countries and act as a big stick to safeguarding the interests of the Imperial Empire.

This kind of combat operation similar to public security cannot train a high-quality team of officers and soldiers, especially commanders at the command level.

Don’t forget that Bai Zhizhan did not have been the naval god of war from the beginning.

When he was young, he participated in the Battle of the Watchmen Strait and made suggestions to the fleet commander that were of great significance and changed the situation. After the end of the First Global War, he participated in the design and construction of all fleet aircraft carriers of the Imperial Navy as the chief, and played the leading role in the annual fleet exercises. Even so, it took nearly 20 years of training to become famous in the subsequent battle.

Not to mention anything else, the imperial navy of that era, and even the entire empire, were preparing for revenge.

Even though there was no large-scale war during this period, let alone the decisive battle of the fleet, the Imperial Navy did not relax, and all the officers and soldiers were holding their breath.

In contrast, after the Second Global War, it was so comfortable.

After gaining global hegemony and becoming the world's number one navy, the Imperial Navy suddenly relaxed, especially after Bai Zhizhan left.

It’s not that the commanders behind are not good, but that times have changed.

Take conscription as an example. In the past, no one would believe that the Imperial Navy would have encountered the dilemma of not being able to recruit new recruits, but now it has become the norm. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even officers, it is getting worse every year. The reason is very simple. Talented young people are more willing to work to make a lot of money than to cry in the army. Even if the navy has always been treated very high, their attractiveness is not as good as banks, doctors and lawyers.

If you can get a million-dollar salary, why do you have to go to the army to endure hardships?

In this case, how likely is it to be a god of war like Bai Zhizhan?

Jiang Wenlong has a greater say in this issue.

At the beginning, if he hadn't insisted on his own opinion and used relevant laws to protect human rights as an example, he might have become a student of the Imperial Royal Academy. His parents thought he should go to the Imperial Royal Academy to study law or the more popular finance with a full scholarship. The key is that his high school teacher also hoped that he could go to the Imperial Royal Academy, mainly because his middle school has not been admitted to the Imperial Royal Academy for many years.

Even if a professional soldier becomes a general when he retires, his lifelong income is not as good as a lawyer or financial trader.

In addition, the probability of becoming a general is extremely slim.

The Imperial Naval Academy recruits 3,600 freshmen every year, and the service career of an officer is usually around 35 years. The Imperial Navy has more than 600 active generals, so the probability of being promoted to a general is only 0.4%, that is, only 2,500 officers can become a general.

For civilian officers, the probability of promotion is even lower, about one-tenth of the average.

In contrast, a dedicated surgeon can become a attending physician in an average of only 20 years. If he is a lawyer, as long as he is not very lucky, finds the right partner, and works hard for about 15 years, he can have his own firm or become a partner.

Obviously, this is one of the reasons why young people are reluctant to join the army.

Talented young people are unwilling to join the army and do not have many opportunities to exercise normally. Where can the god of war come from?

In fact, the quality of officers and soldiers is a big problem in itself.

Although the Imperial Navy has always paid attention to military style and discipline, these young officers and soldiers today may not be able to sweep the world even if they are resurrected in the war.

From this perspective, it is undoubtedly a dream to rely on the "God of War" to achieve a comprehensive victory!
