After listening to Liu Tao's general introduction, a group of big guys understood a little bit. All fireflies unite to form a cluster that can process data on its own and move freely. The commands issued to it by the command center are only external information input, and there is no so-called central server. .
Even after cutting off its connection with the command center, the cluster can still choose what it should do according to the program settings. Whether it is to continue to complete the mission or to retreat directly and return to the base, the cluster will quickly make a choice.
However, this action of the cluster has nothing to do with anyone outside. It operates completely spontaneously. There is no control center to give it orders. It is completely operated by a system composed of all basic units united.
This is very good. This way, the equipment can be greatly streamlined when performing tasks. Delicate things like servers are really not suitable for survival on the battlefield.
As for this cluster becoming artificial intelligence to rebel against them?
Everyone expressed their concern over this concern.
This is as absurd as a teenager who is growing in puberty and decides not to eat meat from now on because he is afraid that he may gain weight from eating too much meat as an adult.
At the same time, this also made a group of big guys think about information warfare.
Ever since Pla read the detailed information about the battle in which the Shinra Group annihilated the Holy Crown Alliance in six hours, he put forward the slogan of accelerating the information construction of Pla. The super efficiency of the Shinra Group's information operations really scared a group of people. .
Although they had Xi's assistance and had begun studying information warfare early on, everything had just begun. For the time being, they could only cross the river by feeling the eagle sauce. However, the battle between the Shinra Group made their eyes shine. Later, Chen Yi also gave them precious internal front-line information, which gave pla a rough idea of how to conduct information warfare.
Informationized warfare is a form of warfare that makes full use of information resources and relies on information. It refers to the situation where information technology is highly developed and nuclear deterrence conditions exist in the information age. The two warring parties use informationized armies as the main combat forces to fight on land, sea, and sea. An integrated war involving multiple services and arms in all-dimensional space including air, space, and electricity.
The above is a scripted statement. As for what real information warfare should be like, different people in Blue Star have put forward different opinions, but one thing is unquestionable, that is, information warfare must rely on high-level information warfare. Technology information equipment.
Chen Yi's view on informatization is actually very simple. Informatization operations must allow all front-line, second-line, third-line and logistics personnel to do their best to cooperate in intelligence linkage. Front-line combatants and the command center must communicate flexibly on tactical methods and be able to Achieve rapid dissemination and promotion to the entire army.
This is not only about keeping up with equipment, but also about thinking. During World War II and before, the practice of using one's own authority to directly turn the army into one's own voice is completely unworkable now, because the military system requires the cooperation of personnel. The degree of tolerance is getting higher and higher, and the tolerance for fishing in any position is getting lower and lower.
With the development of the electronic information industry, the role of "famous generals" in the Blue Star Army has become smaller and smaller. This is a general trend.
For those big guys in the mainland, when the Shinra Group annihilated the Holy Crown Alliance, what they paid attention to was not how many people Shinra dispatched, how many unmanned vehicles they used, or how many enemies they destroyed. Ordinary people might think about it for the first time. They were immediately concerned about the battle reports, and what they paid attention to was how the tens of thousands of people in the Shinra Group formed a highly efficient combat system.
The entire system has always maintained smooth communication during the war, and front-line personnel will also communicate the situations they encounter to the relay command station as soon as possible. After the relay command station receives a large amount of front-line intelligence, a regional dynamic model is formed. .
Everyone in the command post will then issue various instructions to the front-line personnel within their jurisdiction based on this model. The legion will also provide real-time intelligence support to the front-line personnel, and then the front-line personnel will formulate specific tactics based on the actual situation on the front line.
As for the top commanders, Calvaro and Chen Yi, they usually only formulate strategies, and then issue instructions to each relay station to make overall adjustments based on the real-time intelligence collected.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as something happening on the front line that may greatly affect strategic objectives, or a major command error at a relay command station, they will overstep their authority and directly command the front-line combatants in the corresponding area.
The big bosses of pla have noticed a characteristic of this system. All commanders pay special attention to the intelligence sent back by front-line personnel, and can convey effective intelligence to friendly forces in other areas as soon as possible.
Moreover, unless there are special circumstances, the upper-level personnel will not give too much advice on the work of the lower-level personnel, because after all, they do not have anyone in that position who needs to know the situation better, especially the front line.
The situation on the front line is always changing rapidly. After all, they are always working in an environment full of bullets. Sometimes a few tenths of a second can be the difference between life and death. The rear commanders cannot feel the severity of the front line. , if frontline personnel want to ensure their own safety, they must have the right to make emergency decisions.
At the same time, when frontline personnel discover important information that may affect the entire war situation, such as the Holy Crown Alliance dispatching a group of armored vehicle troops, they will report it directly.
Then the relay command station spreads the relevant information to the entire system, so that everyone knows that there is a group of tough people in that place, and front-line personnel in other places will not act in that area casually to avoid unnecessary losses. Vehicle troops will be dispatched to deal with it.
Pla focuses on nothing else but a smooth information transmission system and high-frequency information exchanges between all personnel.
The "famous general" relies on his "rich experience" to imagine the specific situation on the front line, uses his own authority to suppress the opinions of others, and then "decisively" issues a series of orders to the front-line personnel, hoping that every step on the battlefield can be carried out in accordance with the instructions. The situation of developing one's own ideas does not exist in this system.
Chen Yi thinks that this kind of behavior looks very decisive, but it was something that was done before when there was no other way. The military in the past did not have the convenience of information communication as it does now.
This leads to a result. During a war, the commander must do his best to ensure that the officers and soldiers below him listen to him. In this way, the entire army is stamped with a strong personal imprint. This has an advantage, that is, the commander Any command can be completely executed.
But at the same time, there is also a disadvantage. The autonomy of front-line personnel is greatly reduced, and they have completely become puppets on strings at a higher level, unable to effectively feedback important front-line intelligence in a timely manner.
But the commander at the time had to do this. Most areas of the battlefield were covered in the fog of war. Apart from limited intelligence, everyone could only rely on guesswork to judge the battlefield situation. At this time, in order to thoroughly implement one's own strategy, the commander The officer's order must be ensured to be carried out to the end, otherwise it will easily delay the fighter's opportunity.
However, if there is a dimensionality reduction attack, the consequences will be very serious.
In the meat grinder of the First World War, Versailles, the Gallic commanders did not receive front-line intelligence and had no idea what was happening on the front line, so a very strange scene happened in the eyes of later generations.
Groups of soldiers rushed to the streets under the artillery meat grinder, and the organized units were wiped out. However, the frontline soldiers seemed to have been cursed by lowering intelligence, and they still formed dense formations to meet the same dense artillery.
Well, Hans faced this formation as happily as a bowling ball hitting bottles.
Why does this happen? The Gauls are not stupid. Hundreds of thousands of people still commit such a behavior that can be regarded as collective suicide when their own lives and deaths are at stake. There must be something wrong.
In fact, the reason is very simple, that is, the various units in the entire army did not communicate well with information.
The commander of Gaul didn't know that Hans had already started a new version and new gameplay on the frontline battlefield, so he still had the previous tactical thinking. The other troops on the frontline didn't know how the friendly forces attacked the street, so they also resolutely implemented it for the sake of conservatism. Traditional tactics.
It was precisely because the entire army failed to communicate intelligence between the front line and the rear that this bizarre scene occurred in the history of human war, earning the name "Versailles Meat Grinder."
