Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

Zhang Anbang turned to look at Gao Cheng, "Is this a bad thing?"

Gao Cheng grinned. "That's not quite right."

"That settles it then. You see, Company Commander, since it's not a bad thing, then it can't be that I led him astray, right?"

"Yes, that makes sense."

"I didn't lead him astray. What you just said about me is slander, isn't that right?"

"That makes sense," Gao Cheng replied subconsciously, then quickly realized, "Wait, Zhang Anbang, you're tricking me again. Not doing something bad and not leading someone astray are two different things."

I'm just saying that's not a bad thing, not that you didn't lead him astray; those are two different things.

"Oh, really?" Zhang Anbang casually remarked, then asked, "Hey, Company Commander, I saw that your command vehicle is tagged with C4ISR, it looks pretty professional. How's it like using it?"

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng's expression immediately turned serious. "You mean that one? It's passable, but it's much better than the armored command vehicle that the Seventh Company was assigned to before."

Even the C3I system that Uncle Wang used in the 702 can't compare to this. It's an Iveco chassis, and can be considered an unprotected light command cabin.

Overall, it's a prank command platform, but it has quite a few flaws. Although the equipment is complete, each system speaks its own language.

Intelligence couldn't get into the fire support system; everything had to be copied manually, which was very inefficient. I wonder how far the US has progressed in researching those guys' command platforms.

That's right, this concept was first proposed by the US military, and the C4ISR concept was established after the Gulf War in the 90s.

Furthermore, its 1994 digital experimental battalion and the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division in the 2003 Iraq War relied on the mature C4ISR system to achieve its advantages.

Zhang Anbang's expression also turned serious. "Yes, from World War II until now, America's military strength has indeed been leading the world."

In particular, their command system, from the earliest C2 in the 1950s, to C3 in the 1960s, C3I in the 1970s, C4I in the 1980s, and then to C4ISR in the 1990s, has always been at the forefront of the world.

But that's okay, we can learn by trial and error. Although most of our equipment is still at the C3I stage, we've started working on C4ISR.

"Our national strength is growing stronger and stronger. It won't be long before we catch up with and surpass them."

"Haha," Gao Cheng laughed heartily, "You're quite confident, but what you said makes sense."

On October 1, 1949, the Chinese people stood up.

Back when our ancestors first established the country, they were able to cross the 38th parallel and the Yalu River to fight against the 16-nation coalition led by the United States with rudimentary weapons and equipment.

They deployed all modern equipment except for atomic bombs, including more than 2,000 various types of fighter jets, more than 300 aircraft carriers and warships, more than 7,000 tanks and armored vehicles, and more than 7,000 artillery pieces.

Not to mention their various advanced light weapons, their integrated land, sea and air mechanization, and their firepower, mobility and communications completely overwhelm our army.

But so what?

They had over 70 million artillery shells from their ground ships, over 700,000 tons of aerial bombs, and over 3.8 billion bullets—a total of Van Fleet's ammunition load—and yet, our forefathers still drove them back.

Zhang Anbang nodded. "Company Commander, you're thinking about the Seventh Company again."

Gao Cheng didn't speak, he just silently smoked his cigarette.

Zhang Anbang smiled and said, "Company Commander, if you want to think about it, that's fine. I want to too, it's normal. But I've already come to terms with it. In order to ensure our combat effectiveness and improve our combat effectiveness..."

We must constantly adapt and build on past achievements, moving forward in this way. I believe that before long, we will be able to fully confront and even surpass them.

Upon hearing this, Gao Cheng smiled but remained silent, though his smile was quite hearty.

Although Zhang Anbang was just a common soldier in his previous life, he still knows quite a lot about the information age, but he can't say it.

Take C4ISR for example. It's not printed on the vehicle for aesthetics; it's the marking for a command vehicle. C4 stands for Command, Control, Communication, and Computer, which is the brain and neural network of the combat command.

ISR stands for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance; it is the eyes and ears of the battlefield.

Taken together, they form the integrated automated command system for the entire military, which is the core framework of a modern, digitalized force. This thing is commonly known as a battlefield neural network, meaning that with this, the troops can react incredibly fast, much like a neural network directing bodily movements.

It also has a nickname, "force multiplier," because the effect of a fully integrated force is definitely greater than one plus one, or even greater than three, hence the name "force multiplier."

Although most of the troops are still at the C3I stage, they have begun to explore, research and experiment with C4ISR, which is the origin of the command vehicle used by Gao Cheng.

This system will not only be used now, but will continue to be used for the next twenty years or more. It will just have a different name. It will no longer be called C4ISR. Its standardized system name is C4KISR, with the addition of a "K".

The name on Old Taylor's side has also changed; it's now called C5ISR, with an extra C added.

C stands for Cyber ​​(network/cyberspace). They incorporated network attack and defense, electromagnetic warfare, data encryption, and battlefield network resilience as core subsystems.

The "K" added to our army is relatively simple; it refers to "Kill."

The Cyber ​​functions added by Lao Mei, such as network attack and defense, electromagnetic countermeasures, and network security, are only embedded as sub-functions in our system and have not been promoted to a fifth C.

Our priority in upgrading is to complete the firepower kill loop, or K. As for the specific reason, it's very simple: a severe fear of insufficient firepower in the late game.

The unique military-industrial characteristics perfectly illustrate this point: maximizing firepower, deploying heavy firepower to the grassroots level, and maximizing the firepower redundancy of a single platform.

The main selling point is large portions that are filling and satisfying, with no fear of waste. The goal is to finish everything cleanly and comfortably after a round.

If it's not clean enough, I can quickly give you a second, third, or even Nth round.

After all, as our ancestors said, "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back in the spring breeze." The Japanese pirates and barbarians are small and insignificant, fearing power but not virtue. Only with thunderous measures can we have the heart of a bodhisattva.
