Chapter 1059 Teacher
Since Buck was unwilling to receive some relevant training, after asking his superiors for advice, Ji Dongyang, as a senior, gave some general guidance to Buck before leaving.
In fact, it is mainly in terms of thought.
Ji Dongyang continued his previous attitude and clearly analyzed the above leaders' views on Buck: "In fact, there are two main aspects. One thinks that you have been in Ukraine for too long and have been infected with mercenaries with too many Ukrainian Cossack habits. He is worried that you will become Makhno... Do you know Makhno?"
Buck also asked the Russian word for this name, and laughed out loud. Fortunately, his injury has been transformed better now. If it weren't for the past, he might have been wounded: "General Makhno? That's too much to be praised. I'm a little mercenary at best. Look at how many people I can mobilize and lead now?"
Makhno is a person familiar to the famous generals of the founding fathers of China, and even their idol. He is the most powerful general in Ukrainian history. He is a typical grass-roots-born origin of two kitchen knives. He was once the best alliance of the Soviet Red Army in Ukraine. Lenin treated him as a junior and guided and helped him, leading tens of thousands of people to whistle on the Ukrainian land. This is a hero that Ukrainian children have been circulating since childhood. How could Buck not know?
And how much impact did this Ukrainian Cossack figure have on world history?
When the new Soviet regime established after the Tsar extended to Europe with a powerful wave of revolution, it annexed Eastern European countries one by one in the mess after World War I and defeated France, it had already burned the war to a point only one step away from Germany. It was about to build a socialist country in Central Europe with the common believers of Marx's hometown!
In other words, when Europe, the most mainstream in Western society is about to become a red area, it was Makhno, a guy from the grass-roots family, who had been basically pacified, who rebelled from Ukraine in the belly of the Red Army! And he was very energetic in the form of bandits, and finally fled to the United States alone!
This trouble forced the Red Army to retreat to Ukraine to quell the rebellion. The result of being exhausted was the loss of the best offensive opportunity, and also gave France, Germany and other countries a respite and counterattack. There were even some academic statements that if it weren't for his trouble, perhaps Nazi Germany would not have been able to enter the Taiwan Strait, and the history of World War II would have been completely rewritten!
The reason is that Makhno is an anarchist and is unwilling to accept any kind of restraint and leadership, including Lenin, who he regards as a kind father!
From this point of view, Buck is really a bit similar to him.
So Ji Dongyang also smiled a little, but it was not so enthusiastic: "You may not be able to lead so many soldiers, but the economic energy you can lead now is beyond the expectations of your superiors. Don't tell me that you don't know that your friends, family and wife have been conducting various financial activities recently, and how surprising the financial numbers they mobilized are."
It is indeed not the era when Makhno wield his saber and rushed everywhere with Mauser rifle. If the funds Buck's family were in possession were probably more lethal than those of Makhno's 10,000 or 20,000 bandits, from this perspective, Buck can really be compared.
If a person who has such power does not obey discipline, he will of course worry as a leader. Sometimes the power in his hands is too great but he does not have the ability to control it, and he will be wrapped in power and he will be left involuntarily, which is even more dangerous.
Buck scratched his head: "I know that for the country, it is like a huge machine, requiring each part to function according to its own functional position. If it cannot be in line with the whole, it will inevitably be trimmed. However, I can guarantee that first of all, I will not seek strong military force, nor do I have this ability. Secondly, I will not choose to betray the motherland, because that is my motherland, where I gave birth to me and raised me, and my family and parents were there, so what I did wrong? Just say, I will try to make changes and do things well. I will never become such an uncontrollable bandit. You can rest assured about this. What's the second?"
Ji Dongyang was satisfied with his statement: "Then I will be your communicator in this regard in the future. Xiang Wan will often communicate with her in this regard and ask her to urge you to do so. Don't you feel emotional, right?"
Buck smiled: "I really treat her as my revolutionary partner. I will listen to my wife's request. Don't you know that our Yuqing has a lot of raking ears and wives are strict with each other?"
Ji Dongyang smiled more steadily, and he probably didn't expect these discussions to be so relaxed: "The second aspect is about your tactics. Although those who know your identity are limited to some superior leaders in the department, the Operations Bureau has presented your series of combat cases to some experts to demonstrate, and feels that you are still affected by too much guerrilla warfare thinking. Whether this thinking is in line with the development of the future situation is worth discussing, so it is proposed that you should receive some professional military training."
This made it easier. Buck widened his eyes: "I have never learned to fight. I have only experienced fighting teams in Ukraine. What do you think I should do in the future?" He was very humble in this regard.
The regular military academy of Ji Dongyang scratched his head!
This is where a professional and hard-working discussion with a wild path. As soon as he spoke about strategic and tactical issues, he was a professional term, but Buck couldn't understand it!
This is like a professor from an agricultural college going to the countryside to give the old man-made wheat to the fields, saying that wheat like you is good, but in the future, the land is barren, acidified, greenhouse climate, or changes in market factors, you will not be able to grow good crops, or you will not be able to sell wheat after planting it. It’s a big deal to understand the old man-made wheat.
In the end, I can only induce learning: "I think your Ukrainian wife is a student of the regular military command academy, but why didn't it affect you? What is the source of your combat ideas?"
Buck recalled painfully: "I have watched war movies since I was a child, plain guerrillas, tunnel warfare..."
Ji Dongyang, who was dumbfounded, said with great thought: "I will give you an explanation. You must gradually learn to distinguish different forms of this battlefield transformation. Before liberation, our army was indeed very powerful. Mobile warfare was our magic weapon, but after liberation, especially in modern times, mobile warfare basically retreated to the second line. Whether it is the Korean battlefield or the Yuelan battlefield, the result of our large amount of blood for victory proves that the so-called most powerful army in the world is not us. Do you know where the difference is?"
Buck thought hard: "Equipment changes? Not right. The Afghan Taliban is far inferior to our army. Can't he deal with the US military..."
Ji Dongyang stopped him: "Yes! You can find the key to the comparison. The Taliban or base elements can use mobile warfare to deal with the US military, but that is at the cost of giving up the city and controlling the area. Before liberation, our mobile warfare was like this, avoiding the real and taking advantage of the weak, concentrating superior forces to eliminate the enemy. Your combat habits also have a strong shadow, but this is at the cost of giving up control. If you want to control this area in the future, and the government forces really want to attack, can you still fight? Just like our army, now we cannot give up the national regime and cities, we can only fight head-on with the enemy. Your combat thinking needs to change, otherwise you will suffer a big loss in the future."
