"No one can guess how much compensation France will get before the war. Even the war does not guarantee victory with 100% certainty. The war is a big gamble..."
"However, any outcome must be planned in advance. What to do if you win, what to do if you lose, and even the different consequences of winning or losing in different ways. We all need to have sandbox deductions in advance... "
"We predicted the outcome of the Franco-Prussian War in the 16th Central Committee and analyzed different diplomatic relations and situations accordingly..."
"We predicted a total of twenty-two different outcomes of simultaneous failure..."
"Your Majesty, don't think that war is an easy task. Each of the thirty-eight simulations above mobilized hundreds of staff members, as well as countless people from the CIA for intelligence analysis, and even mobilized We consulted businessmen, diplomats, and consulted with many Westerners..."
"There are about...30 to 40,000 people participating in it. Of course, most of them don't know what they are doing..."
Thirty or four thousand people? There was a low voice on the scene, and Da Sixi's eyes almost fell out, "What the hell? Just guessing the outcome of the war in the 38th Central Committee, and mobilizing 30,000 to 40,000 people for work?"
"Blow some bragging rights!"
"Shut up!" The little emperor glared at him fiercely and then said to Xiao Hexin with a smile, "General, please tell me, the master is generous, anything you do is possible!"
How could Xiao Hexin be as experienced as a eunuch? He smiled and said, "Thirty or forty thousand people are not many. When Bismarck deduced the Franco-Prussian War, it was estimated that there would be one hundred thousand staff involved in the investigation!"
"Don't be surprised, the head of state sees this kind of thing much more clearly than we do..."
"When I was house-sitting for the head of state, I received a lot of telegrams from Europe, and I still understand many details very clearly!"
"Prussia was able to defeat France, and their general staff system made a huge contribution! Your Majesty, don't believe it, the head of state spoke much more clearly about many things than I did..."
A war is always fought with preparedness and unpreparedness. Whoever prepares in more detail will have a greater probability of victory!
Before the Franco-Prussian War, the scale of wars was generally small, and one party participating in the war rarely expanded the number of soldiers to more than 100,000!
When analyzing the classic battles fought by the God of War Napoleon, the troop strength data of all parties involved in the war are basically around 100,000!
Of course, some people like to brag and include the number of civilians who provide logistics supplies, which is a bit shameless!
One hundred thousand combat soldiers was basically the maximum number of troops in a single battle before the Franco-Prussian War!
This is actually because of the limitations of the communication technology and logistics supply capabilities at the time. If there were more than 100,000 combat personnel, it would be a disaster. The command system would collapse and the logistics supplies would be in chaos!
So in ancient times, you often saw emperors ordering troops to divide into three groups to attack different areas, but rarely saw three to four hundred thousand soldiers concentrated in one battle at once. This was a taboo in the art of war. This is Charen-chan!
The army is divided into several groups, and each group will not exceed the limit of 100,000 people. Behind this is actually the command of the ancients!
Divided into three routes, that is, three different organizational structures and supply systems, which can just meet the limits of ancient military technology, ensuring that the upper limit of the number of people will not exceed the chaotic extreme value!
Of course, the so-called large army of rogue bandits coercing the people is no longer a professional military issue. That kind of war is actually a kind of social unrest!
Before the Franco-Prussian War, military experts believed that a command and logistics center could only control an army of less than 100,000. Anything more than this number would be a disaster!
Therefore, when the French Emperor fought the Franco-Prussian War, he had to divide his troops into three groups. Each group had more than 100,000 people. He simply did not dare to gather 300,000 to 400,000 people in one command center!
But Germany created a miracle! That is the violent blessing of the general logistics and general staff systems!
In the hands of the Prussians, the war has turned into a mathematical problem. The general staff system and the general logistics system are, in the final analysis, a group of mathematicians who know military knowledge gathered together to conduct critical calculations!
"Where is the march route of the Third Artillery Regiment? Mark it on the map, and then start calculating their baggage and marching speed based on the contour lines and on-the-ground intelligence..."
"How many kilometers do we need supplies? How much supplies? Which province's warehouse is responsible for providing them? So how many civilians and carriages need to be prepared in advance for that warehouse?"
"Forget it, figure it all out for me!"
"How much fodder does the 1st Cavalry Division need for a day's advance? How much fodder does it need to store supplies at that location on the map?"
"How long will it take for the First Army and the Second Army to join forces at the intended destination? Calculate it, and then calculate how much open space is needed for the garrison...Okay, once you figure it out, let the locals start cutting down trees and clearing the open space!"
"How many locomotives can the railway department dispatch? How many carriages? What types of carriages are there?"
"What are the specific tasks of each locomotive? The transportation tasks of Hesse Train 1123 within a month must be planned in advance and arranged on an hourly basis..."
"After we have calculated what is in our own country, do we also need to calculate what is in France?"
"After the cavalry broke through the national border, what was the march route issued by the general headquarters? There must be loss data on the wear and tear of the warhorse equipment, right?"
"How many kilometers does it take to replace it? How many kilometers need to be replaced? Mathematicians also need to calculate these!"
"Your Majesty! A magical phenomenon will occur at this time. Prussian spies will hide a batch of supplies in France before the war..."
"The cavalry regiment charges to a certain area. Perhaps in an ordinary barn, there are 20,000 horseshoes and thousands of war horse leather goods needed by the army!"
"And when the army is advancing, the general logistics department has already made a plan to follow the supplies, and can always deliver military rations and ammunition at the right time and place!"
"Your Majesty! In this Franco-Prussian War, Prussia's total mobilization strength has exceeded two million and is approaching three million!"
"But in the entire battle, with so many people fighting, there was no chaos at all! Isn't this a miracle?"
"The number of temples mentioned in the ancient military books is really not the random thoughts of the Confucian scholars who are eloquent in writing!"
"The so-called calculation of numbers is actually the job of professional mathematicians. Politicians, diplomats, and military strategists are actually just supplements in this kind of large-scale war game!"
"War is a science! Your Majesty, do you think it is an exaggeration for us to organize 30 to 40 thousand people to do comprehensive calculations?"
"To tell you the truth, there are thirty-eight sets of advance strategic prediction plans, and each stack is as high as a two-story building!"
"How can war be so simple and so natural? War is the most precise science!"
"It's not okay to have a hot head!"
