People who are new to martial arts always want to practice an invincible move, kill the enemy with one move, and win all battles. However, after practicing, I realized that without the support of strong internal force, invincible moves could not be talked about, and internal force originated from internal strength. Therefore, in martial arts, there has never been a specific move that is the first in the world, only the first in the world.
*Memoirs of a Great Maker is one of the classic books for traders, the whole book does not have any specific moves, all are the concept of trading, that is, the internal strength of trading. The same is true of the "** Anthology" that I have been watching recently, and I am very touched after reading it. Trading, in itself, is a war. Therefore, there is no doubt that some of Mao Xuanli's ideas about war are applicable to trading, and they are worthy of our repeated reading. If you are also a person who has been fighting in the secondary market or shopping mall for many years, I believe that you will be very touched after reading it:
We should respect the bloody experience of the past, but we should also respect our own bloody experience.
The different circumstances of war determine different laws governing war, and there are differences in time, region, and nature. When we study the guiding laws of warfare in different historical stages, of different natures, and in different regions and nationalities, we should focus on their characteristics and development, and oppose the mechanistic theory on the issue of war.
All the guiding laws of war develop in accordance with the development of history and in accordance with the development of war; There is no such thing as immutability
If you understand the global things, you will be more able to use the local thingsBecause what is local is something that belongs to the global.
When it is said that "if you are not careful, you will lose everything", we are talking about a move with an overall character, that is, a move that is of decisive significance to the overall situation, rather than a move that is of a local nature, that is, a move that is not of decisive significance to the overall situation。This is true of chess, and so is war.
In the history of wars, there are those who have suffered a defeat after winning a series of battles and have given up all their achievements, and there are those who have won a battle after suffering many defeats and thus opened up a new situation. The "successive victories" and "many defeats" mentioned here are all local things that do not play a decisive role in the overall situation. The "one defeat" and "one victory" mentioned here are both things that are decided。All of this illustrates the importance of taking care of the overall situation. The most important thing for those who command the overall situation is to pay attention to taking care of the overall situation of the war
It is extremely rare to find anything consistent in wars and battlesThis is because the two sides of a war or battle are armed living people in groups and keep each other secret, which is very different from dealing with still lifes or everyday events. However, as long as the command is generally appropriate to the situation, that is, to the decisive part, that is the basis of victory
The correct deployment of the commander depends on the correct determination, the correct determination on the correct judgment, the correct judgment on the thoughtful and necessary reconnaissance, and the coherent thinking on the various reconnaissance materials.
Careless military strategists do not do this, basing military plans on wishful thinking, which is utopian and unrealistic. The reason why reckless and zealous military strategists are not exempt from being deceived by the enemy, by the enemy's superficial or partial situation, and instigated by the irresponsible and insightful advice of their own subordinates, is because they do not know or are unwilling to know that the military plan of any one should be based on the necessary reconnaissance and careful consideration of the situation of the enemy and the relationship between us and the enemy.
The process of understanding the situation exists not only before the establishment of a military plan, but also after the establishment of a military plan。When a certain plan is implemented, from the beginning of its implementation to the end of the war, this is another process of understanding the situation, that is, the process of implementation. At this point, the first process is true to the reality and needs to be re-checked. If the plan does not conform to the situation, or does not fully correspond to it, it is necessary to make a new judgment and make a new determination to change the plan in accordance with the new situation. Partial changes are present in almost every battle, and all changes are occasional. The reckless family doesn't know how to change, or they don't want to change, they just blindly do it, and the result is that they have to hit a wall.
All principled military laws or theories are summaries of past war experiences made by predecessors or presenters. The bloody lessons of these past wars should be focused on learning. Here's the thing. However, there is another thing, which is to examine these conclusions from one's own experience, to absorb those things that are useful, and to add those things that are unique to oneself. This latter thing is very important, without which we will not be able to direct the war.
Revolution and revolutionary war are offensive, but there is also defense and retreat - this statement is completely true.
When will you end your offensive and move into the preparatory stage of counter-encirclement and suppression? When we are in a victorious offensive and the enemy is on the defensive, the enemy's encirclement and suppression preparations are carried out in secret, and it is difficult for us to know when they will begin to attack. Our preparations for the anti-encirclement and suppression work began early, which inevitably reduced the gains of the offensive and sometimes had a certain negative impact on the Red Army and the people. Because the main step in the preparatory phase is the military preparation for retreat, and the political mobilization for the preparation of retreat. Sometimes preparing too early can turn into waiting for the enemy; After waiting for a long time, the enemy came and had to relaunch his own attack. Sometimes we have just started a re-offensive and we have just met the beginning of the enemy's offensive and put ourselves in a difficult position. Therefore, the choice of the timing of the start of preparation becomes an important issue. In judging such an opportunity, we should look at the situation of both the enemy and the relationship between the two. In order to understand the situation of the enemy, it is necessary to gather information from the political, military, financial and social aspects of the enemy's side. When analyzing these materials, it is necessary to estimate the enemy's entire strength sufficiently, not to exaggerate the extent of the enemy's past defeats, but also to fail to estimate the internal contradictions of the enemy, the financial difficulties, the impact of past defeats, and so on. For our part, we must not exaggerate the extent of past victories, but we must also not underestimate the impact of past victories.
The question of the timing of the start of preparation, in general, is a matter of courseIt's better to miss too soon, than to miss too late。BecauseThe latter's losses are smaller than those of the former, and its interests are to be prepared for danger and are fundamentally invincible
Political mobilization is the first important issue in the struggle against encirclement and suppression. That is to sayClearly, resolutely and fully inform the Red Army personnel and the people in the base areas about the inevitability and urgency of the enemy's attack and the seriousness of the enemy's attack to the people
The relaxation of preparations caused by underestimating the enemy and the panic caused by being frightened by the enemy's attack are all undesirable tendencies that should be resolutely opposed. What we need is a warm and calm mood, intense and orderly work
The purpose of a strategic retreat is to preserve military strength and prepare for it。Retreat is necessary because in the face of an attack by a strong enemy, if you do not take a step back, you will endanger the preservation of military strength.
To prepare, it is necessary to select and create a number of conditions that are favorable to us and unfavorable to the enemy, so that the balance of forces between us and the enemy will change, and then we must enter the ** stage.
Another necessary condition for a weak army to fight a strong army is to choose the weak to fight. However, when the enemy begins to attack, we often do not know which part of the enemy's army is the weakest, which is the weakest, which is the weakest, and which is weaker, and we need a process of reconnaissance. It often takes a lot of time to get there. It is also a reason why the strategy is necessary.
If the attacking enemy is far superior to our army in number and intensity, and we demand a change in the contrast between strength and weakness, we will only wait until the enemy penetrates deep into the base areas and suffers all the hardships of the base areas, just as the chief of staff of a certain brigade of Chiang Kai-shek said during the third encirclement and suppression, "the fat ones drag down the thin, and the thin ones drag to death."
To determine where the end of the retreat is, the starting point must be made in its entirety. It would be incorrect to decide on the end of retreat on the basis of what appears to me in the local form to be in favor of my turn, if not at the same time in the opinion of the whole situation in my favour of the whole situation. Because the beginning of the ** must be calculated to the later changes, and ours always starts from the part.
With regard to the loss of land, it is often the case that only by losing can one not lose it, and this is the principle of "what you want to take, you must give first".
It is precisely because of this that we lost our capital during the fifth encirclement and suppression of the enemy. Unwilling to lose part of the land, he lost all of his land as a result
They only look at problems from one part of the matter, they are not able to look at the overall situation, they are unwilling to link today's interests with tomorrow's interests, link some interests with the interests of the whole, and grasp one part of the interests for a while.
* The first battle, the relationship is very big. The victory or defeat of the first battle has a great impact on the overall situation, and even all the way to the final battle, so the following conclusions are drawn:
First, we must win. It is necessary that the conditions of the enemy, the terrain, the people, and so on are all favorable to us and not to the enemy. Otherwise, it is better to back down and stand by. There are always opportunities, and you can't take them first. Reject all sexual rush suggestions
Second, the plan for the first battle must be an organic prelude to the plan for the whole campaign。Without a good plan for the whole campaign, there can never be a really good first battle. That is to say, even if the first battle is won, if the battle is not beneficial to the whole battle, but is harmful, then the battle is only lost. Therefore, before fighting the first battle, we must think of the first.
II. Third, fourth, and how the final battle is generally played, and if I win one battle after another, how will the enemy's overall situation change, and if it is defeated, how will it change? If you don't have the overall situation in mind, you won't really cast a good chess piece
Thirdly, we also have to think of the articles of the next strategic stage。If you only care about **, regardless of ** after victory, or in case of defeat, how to do the following, still do not fulfill the responsibility of strategic guidance. When a strategic director is in a strategic phase, he or she should calculate to most of the next stage, or at least to the next stage。Although the future changes are unpredictable, and the farther you go, the more elusive it becomes, but a general calculation is possible, and it is necessary to estimate the future prospects. The kind of guidance that takes one step at a time is not good for politics, and it is also bad for warOne should look at the specific changes in that step and revise or develop one's own strategic campaign plan accordinglyFailure to do so will make the mistake of taking a risk. However, a long-term policy that runs through the entire strategic stage or even several strategic stages, is largely worked out and has been carried out over a long period of time is absolutely indispensable.
Must win; The whole campaign plan must be taken care of; The next strategic phase must be taken care of; These are the three principles that should not be forgotten at the beginning, that is, when fighting the first battle
26. There can be no absolutely fixed line of operation in all wars, and changes in victory and defeat are not permitted.
