Jiang Yan Hai is a little confused. Why did he start to write a thesis? The problem is... In this kind of situation, it is impossible not to say it. This question may seem simple, but it is definitely not for you to answer its definition.
It's about you giving your own understanding. Such a question is easy to answer but also difficult to answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yan Hai finally spoke, "Military Thought, according to our modern interpretation, it is a rational understanding of basic issues of war and national defense, military and related high-level system issues, usually including war concepts, war problem methodology, war guiding ideology, etc..."
"But I personally think that it is actually the idea of tracing back to the origin of life." Jiang Yan Hai pondered for a while.
"Oh? This is the first time I have heard your statement. Please tell me, why Military Thought is the idea of tracing back to the origin of life?" The teacher on the podium immediately became interested and couldn't help but ask.
"It's simple, because all life is closely related to war from the moment it is born."
"The evolution from the earliest single-celled organisms, or even the original origin of life, is itself a war! The war between organisms and nature, life is trying to figure out how to survive in nature. And this evolution itself is a kind of thought."
"And when life evolves to a certain level, the war between life and life, how to avoid being swallowed by the surrounding life, how to devour the surrounding life, so that oneself can better adapt to the environment, how to reproduce one's own offspring, how to make one's offspring more adaptable to the environment, more adaptable to competition with other species, these are all wars of life."
"When evolving to advanced species, such as animals, the predators between animals include how weak animals work in teams to avoid more powerful animals from exterminating them, and how powerful animals use strategies to easily capture their prey."
"And how some animals living in the cracks use various strategic means to survive themselves, these are also their wars, and their instinctive wisdom also belongs to Military Thought."
"When some creatures are protecting themselves and fighting for their right to live, they learn to use tools, and then they become more advanced and advanced intelligent creatures. This is human beings."
"And when we start from humans, whether it is primitive society fighting for a better living space, or slave society, feudal society, even wars due to different beliefs and ideas, these are the conflicts between the original thoughts of life."
"War fills all lives, their past, present, and future. And I think war does not only refer to war in the narrow sense as we call it. In the broad sense, all battles and conflicts can be said to be a concrete manifestation of war, and Military Thought embodies the idea of war. I think Military Thought should also include these."
Jiang Yan Hai expressed his understanding. This is what he thought anyway.
"Yes. Then let me ask you a question, do you think we humans will enter true peace? That is, enter a political system similar to the Earth Federation mentioned in science fiction novels." The teacher praised with a smile, and then asked another question.
"No." Jiang Yan Hai answered firmly.
"Why?" the teacher asked curiously.
"I just said that from the beginning of life to the end of life, all life is at war. It is at war with the environment, with itself, with the enemy, and with everything around it."
"And when a life is in an invincible state, it is not far from destruction, because it will stagnate and will no longer progress. When this stagnation begins, it is the beginning of destruction."
"Because there will always be new competition in life, but when new competition comes and you stagnate, you will inevitably be unable to keep up with this competition, and what awaits you will be destruction."
"So when there is no external pressure, we humans will compete with ourselves. If humans want peaceful reunification, there is only one possibility. When one day, there is another civilization and there is external pressure, forcing us into a crisis that may lead to extinction, we humans will achieve true peace within ourselves. But at that time, we were caught in a war with another civilization."
Jiang Yan Hai answered simply.
"Not bad! I have an idea!" The teacher praised with a smile, stretched out his hands and applauded. The other generals were also very generous and applauded together. The classroom immediately burst into warm applause.
"Have you ever thought about something similar?" The teacher was not polite and asked directly with a smile.
"No." These generals shook their heads. They were all traditional soldiers. To be honest, thoughts like this were more philosophical. Some soldiers engaged in academic research might have thought about it, but they were leading troops to fight. How could they think about such seemingly illusory issues.
In their view, they pay more attention to practicality and practicality.
"So, we still need fresh blood and young people to integrate in. Their thinking is different from us old guys." The teacher said with a smile.
"Teacher Hu, let me ask, is an idea like this useful?" A general in his fifties raised his hand and asked.
"What do you think?" Teacher Hu did not answer, but asked the others with a smile.
"It's useless." Some other generals hesitated and then spoke one after another.
"Jiang Yan Hai, what do you think?" Teacher Hu asked Jiang Yan Hai again.
Jiang Yan Hai smiled, "Just saying these words is just rhetoric and will definitely be useless, but the brain that can think of these should be useful."
"Hahaha..." Teacher Hu laughed directly, and even stretched out his hand to give Jiang Yan Hai a thumbs up, and then said, "Okay, boy, you are the first one Lieutenant Colonel who dares to say this in front of more than a dozen generals."
Some other generals were also a little speechless, but not angry. They still had this kind of self-restraint. They just felt that this kid Jiang Yan Hai really had something. Otherwise, why would he have paid two cents at this age?
"Okay, that's it for today. As for whether it's useful or not, I hope you can know after you complete these six months of training. After class, let's take a rest." Teacher Hu said with a smile and waved his hand.
