"First point." Wang Juan raised a finger.
Zhang Xiaobao looked at it seriously. When he realized that it was not the middle finger, he did not do anything else.
"To survive, the military structure cannot be lacking too much. Even if there is only one person left in a battalion, the structure is still there. Why is it a battalion and not a squad, platoon, or company?"
"Is it because there are more people in the battalion?" Zhang Xiaobao said enthusiastically.
"There are more people in the regiment. I am talking about our time, not now. Now, the regiment is under the battalion. The battalion now is a regiment, or a reinforced … company? Yes, reinforced company. Now, a regular battalion has about six to seven hundred people, and a reinforced company can have more than a thousand people. For example … "
"Guards company?" Zhang Xiaobao continued to be enthusiastic.
"Yes, now we are not talking about guards or not. We are talking about why the battalion structure needs to survive. The number of people in our battalion can form a natural survival unit. It is gathering, farming, hunting, guarding, and building. The number of people in a battalion can be replenished, and in the case of no one to rely on in the wild, they can survive independently.
In fact, they can even survive, but it is very difficult. As for a platoon of 30 people, can they survive? In theory, they can. If they want to live a good life, half of them need to be from the special forces, and the other half need to graduate from the Shonen Science and Technology University. Then their survival rate is higher than that of a battalion. "
"Are you saying that almost all of them are like the two of us?" Zhang Xiaobao puffed out his chest and said confidently.
"Your role will not be reflected in the situation where we do not meet other tribes."
"Then what if we meet them?"
"Very simple, we will no longer be two people. They will be confused by you and then work for us. Even if there is a language barrier, I believe that you have the ability."
"Thank you."
"You are welcome. That is why, in order to maintain the survival of an army, the existence of the structure is very important. It is enough to replenish the personnel. The role of the veterans must not be ignored. The second point is that we need a strong political leader. In the situation where we cannot achieve military victory, he must use his rhetoric to paint a picture of a pie for the soldiers. "
"Is it to quench one's thirst by looking at plums?" Zhang Xiaobao echoed.
"More or less. Under normal circumstances, this political leader can't be someone who participated in the direct command of the battle. Otherwise, confidence won't be able to gather. If he's still a commander who participated in the battle, he can still play the role of winning people's hearts after his failure. Then, he's not an ordinary person. For example … Napoleon."
"I think that in this era, the two of us … should be fine, right?" Zhang Xiaobao didn't have much confidence when he spoke.
"Who knows? The people of the Great Tang already treat us like gods. In their hearts, we represent invincibility. If we lose …"
"Then I'll have to readjust my domestic policy. How about … how about we also make a movie and advertise it, saying that we had times of failure, but in the end, we stubbornly survived. This way, we'll leave a psychological hint to the people that we're also humans. Our strength lies in our tenacity. "
Zhang Xiaobao smacked his lips, as if he didn't want to adjust the policy after failing.
"Do you think it'll work?" Wang Juan asked.
"No, absolutely not. We're gods, we're not mortals. The people think so too. Third, what's the point of thinking about this? I don't believe that there's anyone who can compete with us in terms of military and economic power now. At most, a sudden natural disaster will cause losses to our army, but we can slowly push forward and try to circumvent the weather disasters as much as possible. "
"The third is simple. In addition to the above structure, we can't lose much. We also have to have a political figure with strong affinity and charisma. We also have to collect the necessary resources for human survival. Snow mountains and grasslands are not easy to live in. That's why I admire the Red Army at that time. Brainwashing needs to be done to a certain extent. "
Wang Juan raised her third finger and said.
Zhang Xiaobao rubbed his nose and asked, "Then … what does that have to do with your previous arrangements?"
"The third is that they need water and food. There are more fish and shrimp in the river, and many animals go to the river to drink water. We just have to leave the boats and search along the river. Why should we follow behind and eat dust? What if the small pursuing force is surrounded and annihilated? "
Wang Juan finally said why she had told him that the troops would be back in a day.
If the defeated army wanted to regroup and rest after losing all their supplies, they had to find a place with sufficient water, not all of them going to their long supply line.
Only when the defeated army went there would the people at the supply transit point would be scattered. The combatants would eat and drink and then take away the valuable things. The non-combatants would take away the relatively less valuable food and fodder. They would never be entrenched, unless it was the second line of defense that had been set up before.
The idea of the cannibals at the Brahmaputra River was to launch a sneak attack. Their usual supplies were calculated, and even slightly insufficient. Why would they set up layers of defense and play a strategic game of depth?
"Listen to you. You're the commander. Do you mean that my logistics supply has to be increased to the Brahmaputra River line?" Zhang Xiaobao considered his mission. Originally, it was to defend. Now that a large portion of the more than 40,000 people had advanced, the supply line would inevitably be extended.
"Yes, your mission is very important. Think about it now. I'm going to see my brother and sister. I'll cook tonight." Wang Juan got up and planned to leave so that Zhang Xiaobao could think about where to get people to send supplies to the front line.
Zhang Xiaobao tapped his face a few times with his hand and said to Wang Juan, who had walked to the door, "Tell the kitchen to prepare the seafood for spicy soup and chicken soup. I'll go over to prepare the ingredients later."
"You're not thinking about logistics?" Wang Juan asked in surprise.
"No need. I'm not going to send food to the front line over there. Tell them to save their bullets. Don't shoot hundreds of bullets when facing one person. I'll get someone to send ammunition once and bring enough money. Let them find a place in India where there are people to buy things," Zhang Xiaobao said casually.
Wang Juan raised her eyebrows. "Buy?"
"Yes, buy. If we encounter a large number of Indians, use our Tang Dynasty money to buy from them. The use of international currency will be perfectly reflected at this moment. Let them tell the Indians that if they don't want to use money to buy gold, they can go to Tang Dynasty to buy other things or wait for Tang Dynasty merchants to go over. "
Zhang Xiaobao said with certainty.
Wang Juan thought about it and felt that it was possible. There might be people in Tang Dynasty who had never heard of countries like India or India, but the Indians would definitely have heard of Tang Dynasty. For the Indians, it was very cost-effective to exchange food for foreign currency. Usually, they would not be able to exchange their food for Tang Dynasty's money because Tang Dynasty did not lack food.
Just as she was about to agree, Wang Juan suddenly thought of something very important and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "Are you sure they know about Tang Dynasty's money?"
"It's fine as long as they know the Tang Dynasty's army. We don't have to print a batch of fake money for them. Now, that place is not completely under our control, right? And there are many people there, right? "Zhang Xiaobao said.
"Where?" Wang Juan was confused.
"Trust River." Zhang Xiaobao said.
"Then it's called Indus River in our time. Do you think there are people there?" Wang Juan rolled her eyes at Zhang Xiaobao.
Zhang Xiaobao did not blush at all. "Yes, there should be. Then, is there anyone in Pakistan's Fort Mehrmacht now?" Zhang Xiaobao asked again.
"Yes, the Duo Cannibals are there. There are quite a few of them. It's an important entrance for us to attack the Duo Cannibals. Do you really not remember, or are you just trying to find something to say?" Wang Juan was too lazy to continue talking.
"Yes, yes. I'm thinking of something else. Let them quickly take down Fort Mehrmacht. What is it called now? No name, right? "
"It's the Laval Tribe. What are you going to do?" Wang Juan asked.
"Occupy. Let the troops be fast. First, occupy a few salt mines. Send a report to Lhasa City and let them print salt tickets. Mobilize Shuiyun's family and send the printed salt tickets to our troops in Brahmaputra River. Let them rob some horses and quickly go to the relatively nearby places to tell the locals that we have salt tickets. We will exchange them for salt later. Isn't it more direct than money? "
Zhang Xiaobao thought of a solution in the blink of an eye.
Wang Juan sighed. She knew that the troops would be stationed there for a long time in the future. That was because the current Hindus did not know that the place Xiao Bao wanted to occupy had several very good salt mines. Their salt mainly came from the original Tubo side, which was Qinghai salt.
How much salt does that place have? It could be used to build roads. However, it was very expensive to bring it to India. How expensive was it? Salt itself was a currency, and its value was very high.
Ever since her family occupied Qinghai Lake, she had made a lot of money just selling salt. Of course, for the domestic market, it was just a flat transportation fee, but not for India and Duoshi.
This was probably the reason why Duoshi always wanted to attack. In the past, trade was not restricted. Now, salt was a strategic resource. If it were anyone else, they would not be willing to be restricted like this.
Therefore, it seemed that most of the people fighting were the various countries and vassals of India. In fact, Duoshi and the various countries in India had discussed this. Different religions could unite when they had a common enemy.
Wang Juan knew that even though the Indians who had been convinced by the Polyeater were not helping either side, they had been secretly helping the Polyeater all along.
Once they knew that there was good salt at their doorstep, they would almost 100% send troops to get close and try to get it. It could also promote the temporary alliance of their various countries and races. Of course, if her army was strong enough, it could also become a large trade market and conduct more trade with various countries and tribes in India.
"Xiao Bao, I can't think of what will happen after your goal is achieved. We have to continuously transport arms and medicine there. Don't you understand what kind of demand the Indians have for salt? "
Wang Juan wanted to persuade Zhang Xiaobao to take back this decision. After all, her family still controlled an area of Qinghai Lake. Anyway, they were selling salt. Why should they cut off the original market?
"Consequences? Can we still fight a planetary war? "Zhang Xiaobao pretended to be stupid and said.
