Girls und War

However, this is only a low-probability event. If a general-level figure really splits the war zone, then this war zone is likely to collapse soon.

For example, the predecessor of a certain snow area, Su... cough cough.

During the few days that Xia Shu stayed at the Army Headquarters, he had a general understanding of the overall structure of the Army Department.

The Army Headquarters Office is naturally the real command department of the entire Army Headquarters.

All the staff officers within the office were under the responsibility of the secretary general, who was Lieutenant General Qimingxing.

To be honest, it is a bit of an underestimation for a lieutenant general to hold the position of secretary general.

The rank of Lieutenant General can at least be used to lead one of the four major departments of the headquarters - such as Lieutenant General Xun Xi, the leader of the Army General Staff.

Moreover, there is a vacant position in the Army Headquarters for Qimingxing to join. For example, the leader of the Army Equipment Department is only a major general.

The fact that Qimingxing was placed in the position of Secretary General by the Commander-in-Chief was not only a high-ranking position, but could even be considered the top position. Usually, officers in this position could have the rank of Major General or even Colonel.

Perhaps the young commander placed the Morning Star there for some other strategic considerations, or perhaps he simply found it convenient to use, so he didn't change it.

Xia Shu strongly suspected that it was because of the latter.

As for the headquarters office, below it are four powerful departments: the General Staff Department, the Management Department, the Logistics Department and the Equipment Department.

If we further break it down, the General Staff is divided into three major sections: operations, communications, and military affairs.

The management department has three major sections: military status, publicity, and inspection.

The Logistics Department has three major sections: finance, quartermaster, and transportation.

The Equipment Department consists of four major sections: R&D, repair, equipment, and assistance (tools).

All military orders from the Army Headquarters are basically issued by these four departments.

The head of each department is a major general or lieutenant general.

However, in order to balance power, the leaders of various departments will not all be from the same faction as the young commander.

For example, the management department leader is more inclined to obey Princess Zhaohuang's orders, while the logistics department leader must weigh the attitude of the logistics headquarters.

But no matter what, the General Staff is definitely in the same boat with the Commander.

The orders of the young commander are usually carried out most thoroughly by the Army General Staff.

After all, the General Staff was previously called the Headquarters.

It can be said that this thing is a discourse power organization formed by the commander by expanding his own staff in order to expand his own power.

The same applies to the headquarters of the other two major military branches.

745. On How to Become a King

Therefore, the command system of modern warfare can generally be understood in this way.

The decision is made and understood by the commander's staff, who are the brains of the military.

The four framework systems of the military management organization - staff, management, logistics, and equipment - will be implemented by four major departments.

These four departments have complex functions and, in a sense, are not entirely responsible to the head of the force.

They also have to consider the impact of obedience decisions on the entire military system - for example, will personnel changes in the general staff affect personnel management issues; will the need for logistics to deploy a large amount of heavy firepower lead to empty equipment depots and a lack of emergency measures?

In actual combat, the responsibilities of the four departments complement each other, and it does not mean that any one side only listens to the head of its own department.

Speaking of this, we have to mention a very important military department.

On the imaginary battlefield, this department is responsible for integrating various military departments to conduct joint operations to prevent the bloated bureaucracy from affecting the ever-changing battlefield situation.

This department is called the Front Unified Command.

Before talking about the front-line unified command, we must clarify a concept.

That is the Armed Forces Headquarters, which is responsible for only part of the leadership of officers and soldiers.

When there are no more local wars, the three major headquarters are responsible for the administrative management and daily training of the officers and soldiers, as well as paying their salaries and arranging holidays.

However, when war breaks out, it is impossible for the three major military departments to use such a large scale to fight together. If our army combat team wants to apply for air strike support, does it have to subcontract it layer by layer and get the approval and signature of the Air Force Commander?

Therefore, in wartime, a separate command organization is needed to make immediate and effective judgments and commands on the battle situation.

To put it bluntly, the three major military headquarters are the institutions that maintain troops, while the front-line unified command is the institution that deploys troops.

As mentioned before, in an imaginary battlefield, the right to coordinate command of the front line should, in principle, belong to the office of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

As long as the staff of the front command believes that the outcome of the battle can achieve the strategic goal, they can increase their reinforcement requirements and combat status without limit.

Execute first, report later, imperial permission. This is the Frontline Integration Department, isn't it clear enough?

The Front Integration Headquarters, which enjoys unlimited right to engage in combat, is not only responsible to the commander-in-chief of the war zone, but also has another standard of operation, which is the regional strategy within the imaginary battlefield.

Another department that we have to mention here is the major regional command centers within the imaginary battlefield.

For example, the High Mountain Front Command and the Large Oil Field Area Command.

For example, Xia Shu only has contact with these two commanders now, and their regional commanders are both lieutenant generals.

On a separate note, the core control area of ​​the Flower District was originally controlled by Princess Zhaohuang herself. However, now there was a trusted general who had nowhere else to go, so the core control area was handed over to her.

However, the command teams in these front-line areas within the imaginary battlefield do not have the right to maintain and control troops.

They themselves are part of the Flower District command system, equivalent to the commanding generals of each front, with only one command framework under them.

The right to command the three armies in a certain area actually came from the Front Integration Headquarters. In other words, this was a right delegated to them by Princess Zhao.

This right can be revoked at any time.

This also means that even if a general in a region wants to set up a new faction, she can only take a group of her staff with her at most.

As for the troops fighting under her, their military affiliation will only be with the Third Army or the Logistics Department, and their operational orders will only come from the Front Coordination Department.

It has nothing to do with the regional commanding general.

The frontline integration department can only obey orders within the scope of the regional command general's desire to achieve the strategic vision.

Beyond this scope, the Frontline Integration Department may not necessarily obey.

After explaining the composition of the entire combat system, it becomes very clear how the war form of the imaginary battlefield operates.

For example, I am a newly appointed lieutenant general in the Flower District, and I want to open up a new battlefield in Oumeng as a qualification for my promotion to general.

Then my staff and I will make a strategic plan called "Counterattack on the European Continent", clearly state my strategic conception, and then submit it to Princess Zhao, and let her give it to other generals for review.

If everyone thinks it is feasible and this review is passed, then the Flower District combat system will be put into operation, and weapons, equipment, and personnel will all be ready.

Then, the Front Integration Headquarters will hand over the three-service command network required by the plan to me and my staff.

Then came the planes and artillery, a multitude of them, taking turns to attack. Then came the Normandy Landings and the Battle of Berlin—in short, if we won, it was my achievement, if we lost, it was my responsibility.

However, the Front Integration Department could only limit the strategic plan to the previously submitted plan. If reinforcements were needed or supplements to the plan were required, they would need to be reviewed by headquarters.

If I am in high spirits, I will say, hey, we have such a big advantage, let’s attack the Central Sea and the big oil fields as well.

Then the Frontline Integration Department will not obey my orders.

Because my strategic plan only describes how to conquer Europe and become the emperor of Europe.

You have to become the emperor of the world first and then write a plan.

But if someone can really do that, let alone a plan, Princess Zhaohuang's throne can be given up directly and the crown can be given to you.

In short, although the commanders of various front areas have the right to independently command operations, this right is not permanent.

When a regional commander has achieved his strategic goals and made a mark in his own merit book, the command will be returned to the military headquarters.

Until your next strategic plan is made, you will regain the right to command operations.

This is the case with the current high mountain front and the large oil field areas.

As for Xia Shu, although she understood how the combat system of the imaginary battlefield worked, it had nothing to do with her current military rank.

Although I thought about how proud it was to be a general, commanding troops and giving orders on the battlefield.

But after all, Xia Shu is just a newly promoted second lieutenant who has just skipped the warrant officer training period.

It is still a long way to go to reach the goal of 100 million. Instead of thinking about which strategic plans can make him the emperor of "the only empire in Asia", it is better to think about how to build a special operations force with the characteristics of Blue Star.

But putting all that aside, Xia Shu did receive a mission that suited her identity at this time.

746. There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests

"Joint operations with other war zones?" Xia Shu's expression was a little strange. "Has there ever been a precedent for this?"

Seeing Xia Shu's expression, Jun Ci knew that she had never experienced such a thing, so he smiled and said, "Yes, but we rarely talk about these situations openly. So you don't see them very often."

Xia Shu nodded and said, "I'm not questioning the feasibility of the operation, but..."

Jun Ci knew what Xia Shu was worried about.

After all, not long ago, the relationship between the two was still enemies, but now he turned around and told Natsuki that they needed to cooperate.

This is something that may not be easy for anyone to accept.

But Xia Shu looked at the mission report again and nodded resolutely, "I understand. So how do we complete this mission?"

Seeing Xia Shu agreed very readily, Jun Ci smiled and said, "I knew you wouldn't refuse."

He then pulled out the detailed mission description from the report and explained, "This mission is led by the other party and is a joint effort between the two parties. So when you arrive on-site, you must independently assess the mission's progress and prioritize your own safety at all times."

Xia Shu nodded and looked at the partner on the task report.

Snow area and earth area front unified command center.

Cooperation contact person: "Snow Wolf" Anna.

-

After Jun Ci explained the mission objectives and the response strategies for various emergencies during the mission to Xia Shu one by one, she took Xia Shu to the virtual infiltration center at the headquarters.

Now that Xia Shu's military status is registered with the General Staff, his way of entering the imaginary battlefield naturally no longer relies on the front-line combat troops.

Xia Shu entered the virtual battlefield by riding on the flag of the Front Integration Department in the large oil field area.

After re-entering the battlefield, she was met by a front-line communications team.

The squad consisted of six people, one of whom was a lieutenant serving as the squad's lead officer, and the other five were communications soldiers skilled in battlefield communications.

This team will be responsible for Xia Shu's communications with various military departments during this period.

After briefly introducing themselves, the six people said goodbye and left, heading to the logistics warehouse to prepare their equipment for the operation.

Xia Shu walked out of the camp tent with a flag and looked at the busy front-line camp.

It was dusk on the Imaginary Battlefield, and the magnificent sunset was spreading across the horizon.

Xia Shu recognized this place. It was a plain near the two rivers of the large oil field, with mountains on the east side and water on the west side.

The north wind brought the smell of gunpowder and gun smoke, and you could faintly smell the blood on the battlefield.

The smell made Xia Shu excited.

I haven't smelled this scent for a long time. The inexplicable emptiness and uneasiness in my heart were replaced by a great sense of satisfaction at this moment.

Xia Shu seemed to understand all at once that he really did belong on the battlefield.

Sure enough, only the smell of the battlefield could make her feel like she was home.

After calming down, Xia Shu slowly walked towards the equipment collection area for logistics.

The lieutenant of the communications team had already helped Xia Shu prepare the equipment. Xia Shu looked around and saw various types of individual bulletproof equipment, supplies, night combat equipment, and self-defense weapons.

Because this operation was a temporary mission, Xia Shu's own high-end goods were still in the logistics warehouse and had not been shipped over.

All of these things in front of him were kindly prepared for Xia Shu by the combat commander of the large oil field front.

So Xia Shu didn't choose too much and just put on all the equipment in front of him without leaving anything out.

After Xia Shu and the members of the communications team were ready, they went outside the camp as planned and boarded the armed helicopter prepared for them in the snow area.

After Xia Shu and the other six people boarded the plane, the co-pilot officer gave a thumbs-up, and then the tool pilot pulled up the joystick and drove the helicopter towards the mountains in the north.

Sitting in the helicopter, Xia Shu checked the buckle of her seatbelt and the ammunition for her automatic rifle. The lieutenant pointed at her earpiece, and she reached out and pressed the communication channel on it.
