Chapter 572 Finding the Problem is More Important Than Finding the Answer

The elevator stopped halfway up the building.Li An asked doubtfully, "I remember the onboarding location was on the top floor, wasn't it?"Meng Chen sneered, "You think you can start now?""Onboarding requires passing an assessment, even for you.""Enemy won't commit suicide just because your name is Li An, and your subordinates won't become invulnerable just because your name is Li An.""You have six months to learn, but I expect you to complete this task within a month."Li An nodded and said, "Understood."He suddenly changed the subject, saying, "How long did it take my ancestor to pass the assessment?"Meng Chen chuckled, thinking, "Interesting."His competitive spirit is rising? “Your ancestor, Li Dingtian, followed the path of a strategist from a young age, studying it for all three years of high school, unlike your current situation.”“About a year, he was promoted to the rank of strategist at sixteen.”“Currently, the alliance has a total of 9 Grandmasters, 31 Advanced, 128 Intermediate, 322 Junior, and 921 Apprentices, with a total of 1411 registered strategists.”“None of them switched midway; they all set their future goals in high school and passed the exams all the way up. If you join, you'll be the only exception.”Li An raised an eyebrow and said, “Seven Great Walls in the Human Realm, a total of 560 war zones.”“A total of 1411 strategists.”“That number sounds quite healthy.”Meng Chen shook his head and sighed, saying, “Junior and Apprentice levels are almost useless; they're all mediocre.”“There are also many Intermediate and Advanced levels who need to participate in special operations.”“Those who are truly intimidating to the enemy and command in various…” There are actually only two to three hundred names in the Great Wall War Zone. ""The remaining two hundred or so war zones are actually not safe.""Including the 67th War Zone of the Seventh Great Wall that you once belonged to, you should have seen the war strategist with a bag of wine and rice.""In the future, the scale of war will be very large, and we must be prepared to have the entire world as our enemy.""At that time, what was the use of more than a thousand people?""Furthermore, a combat strategist is not a work of art, but a consumable. Especially someone like me who can influence the situation of the battle is the first target of the enemy's attack.""If he dies, someone needs to be able to take care of him immediately.""Facing a war of that scale in the future, we must have at least 3,000 backup strategic planners to be confident.""Of course there are extreme exceptions, such as your ancestors.""As the saying goes, a combat strategist can equal the combat power of an army.""And our ancestor Li Dingtian, one person can defeat a thousand war strategists."A few words told Ang Lee a lot of real situations.Why does the Alliance of Strategic Strategies cultivate people with nothing to lose but does not change the hedonistic system within it? Because strategists are expendable resources, they might die any day now, and you expect them to live a life of abstinence?They'll definitely enjoy themselves for as long as they can.Next, it's time to increase Li An's strength.Aren't you getting competitive? Want to see where your abilities are at their limits?Your ancestor could single-handedly take on a thousand people in the later stages, that's your goal.Then.Meng Chen led Li An into a study.The room was very large, several hundred square meters, a single-level space, with various maps pasted on the walls, and the air was filled with the fragrance of books."Here, you can learn about human strategists, all the experience and knowledge from ancient times to the present. The entrance exam content is also here, the questions and answers are all there.""I won't teach you from scratch.""Because this is the first lesson for a strategist.""On your first battlefield, everything is unfamiliar. Where will you begin your strategy?""Finding the answers is easy, but to win, you must learn to find the problems."After saying that, Meng Chen pressed his finger on an electronic screen next to the door.A beep sounded.A built-in cabinet automatically pushed open.A fragrant aroma wafted out.Meng Chen pointed to the food on the cabinet and said casually, "The steamed buns you ordered.""Whatever you need, just press this screen.""You'll live here for the next few months, until you feel you're qualified, then open the door."Finally, Meng Chen left decisively.In the quiet, spacious apartment, only Li An's footsteps echoed.His gaze swept over the bookshelves, and he picked up a book, immersing himself in it with his mental energy. The words within formed vivid images in Li An's mental world."Warfare in the low-level martial arts world is two-dimensional, as is the battlefield; it only has a horizontal axis, no vertical axis.""Human battlefields, however, are three-dimensional.""They can reach both the sky and the ground.""The agility of both sides' warriors can be extended infinitely; the enemy can no longer be blocked by a single wall, because they can fly, and fly as high as they can.""And because the height is infinite, constructing a completely three-dimensional defensive line is impossible.""So what is our army's true defensive line?""Please answer." Li An immediately entered the answer."Our army's defensive line is our army itself.""Correct answer. The soldiers themselves are the defensive line. If the enemy wants to advance to higher ground, you send your soldiers to defend those higher ground. Unless it's a battle to protect some treasure, fortresses, the Great Wall, and similar defensive lines are meaningless.""At this point, a new problem arises.""In warfare, every step forward is crucial. In modern warfare, defensive lines have become personalized, meaning the initiative in attack is always in the enemy's hands.""If they want to move to higher ground, you must move to higher ground; if they want to go north, you can only defend the north.""But war is extremely dangerous when you're led by the enemy. Please answer with your response."Li An: "Take the initiative and attack."These questions were child's play for Li An.Because he had spent several years on the battlefield.The Great Wall is merely a symbol of the border's bottom line; it's not entirely relied upon for defense.Generally, the area ten thousand li (approximately 5,000 kilometers) before the Great Wall is the border, constantly guarded by sentries or fortified positions.Once someone crosses the border, our army will proactively attack and engage the enemy in the area from the border to the Great Wall.However, over the years, it has been impossible to prevent some highly stealthy enemies from flying directly into human cities from high altitudes.Therefore, most border cities have enemy spies within their ranks, which is a very troublesome matter.To solve this, we still need technology.If there were a radar powerful enough to detect the traces of all spies, this problem could be avoided.Li An once witnessed an enemy attack using a planet-destroying cannon, firing directly from tens of thousands of miles away.Our army, in turn, deployed Xuanwu shields to block the cannon's path.All of this demonstrates that what truly determines the course of war is not strategists, but technology.For example, the adaptive power of the Celestial Realm.If you can't unravel or break through this, you'll never win.But that's beside the point.That being said, where do all these extraordinary technologies come from? Currently, the technological levels of all races in the human realm are at an average level, with humanity only surpassing them. They have no fear of such forces, so the course of war is determined by strategists and tactics.Technology is absolute power.But currently, the human realm lacks this absolute power; only the celestial realm possesses it.These are not the issues Li An is currently concerned with.The reason he's thinking about this is because he feels he possesses such technology.Li An raises his right hand, and a layer of light appears in his palm.Divinity.If he could externalize divinity and mass-produce it, covering the armor of his soldiers,then his army would fear no elementalist.And perhaps even more.Li An currently possesses two Myriad Dao Stones, and he wants to fuse divinity, the Supreme Fist, and dreams.Once the source of divinity can also be martial intent and spiritual power, will it also be able to break through spiritual power and martial intent?No rush, let's finish reading these military treatises first, and then let Tiger Brother fuse them.
