63. Sean's suggestion: Detect and destroy beyond visual range.
"Heidel".
"arrive."
Heidt waved to his second-in-command, and Number 2 immediately stepped forward with two submachine guns. The two slowly attached silencers and magazines.
Number 7 and Number 8 stood behind the two men, smiling and carrying the same weapons, with the muzzles pointing downwards.
Number 3 presses the console to switch targets.
Everyone fell silent again.
"Begin!" Sean gave the order.
Puff puff puff!
Bullets were fired instantly, and the four moved across the field in perfect coordination.
As the four men moved, they changed positions. When Heidel stood still, Number 2 immediately crouched down and fired, while Numbers 7 and 8 assumed a guard position to watch out for the rear.
"My God, their attack frequency is incredibly high, and their accuracy is impeccable." Eisenhower had never seen such seamless tactical coordination.
"No, no, that's not it." Sterling, as the future founder of the Royal Air Service, discovered a problem that everyone had overlooked.
"What are you trying to say? You still won't admit that your statement was wrong?" Deck looked at the other person with dissatisfaction.
"No, I mean, they're equipped with silencers. If it's a sneak attack or infiltration, they could wipe out an entire squad without a sound. They're incredibly efficient."
A sneak attack and infiltration?
This was something Eisenhower hadn't expected; for such a team to suddenly appear behind enemy lines, my God.
"They are also skilled in demolition."
Sean said calmly that there was no point in arguing with the other party at this time; the facts spoke for themselves, and maintaining a gentle attitude would win the favor of the military.
Having lived a lifetime, Sean understands that emotional intelligence is sometimes more important than IQ.
Eisenhower is the best example.
"Also skilled in demolitions?" Sterling fell silent. A small team silently stormed into the camp, planted bombs, came quietly, and left quietly, leaving behind only blood and death.
"You're insane!" The future founder of the Air Force turned around abruptly and grabbed Eisenhower's hand. "I want to stay, no, I have to stay, I want to learn."
What nonsense are you spouting?
You are not part of our Bluebird Training Program, and besides, we don't pay for British people.
"Lieutenant Sterling, I'm sorry, you're not a U.S. soldier."
Eisenhower rejected the offer.
You are the father of the rapid reaction force, and the 101st Airborne Division is known as the Sean Airborne Division.
You can't do nothing.
"I will, but you will need to provide certain supplies."
"No problem. Next month, our Army Department will have a bidding meeting, and we will invite you to participate. Although you are not in the military industry, you are a military contractor. Remember to attend, and then we will sign the new contract."
The two of them reached out their hands at the same time and clasped them tightly.
"I will be there on time."
"By the way, do you have any personal suggestions? You know I work in the War Department, what are your thoughts?"
"Do you know what beyond-visual-range strike, or 'detect and destroy', means?"
Beyond visual range strikes? Detect and destroy?
Eisenhower instantly became excited; perhaps, perhaps this was exactly what the U.S. Army needed most.
The U.S. Army is not highly regarded in the world, but now the flames of war in Europe have spread to Southeast Asia.
It's important to know that the Philippines is traditionally American territory. Although it has always traded with Japan, recent actions by Japan have revealed its strong ambitions.
Sean wouldn't mind giving Eisenhower some credit for his promotion so the two could become close friends.
"First, the communication link reaches the squad level. The squad's firepower relies on the advantages of Browning and Garand, which makes it stronger than that of ordinary countries. In addition, the battalion level is equipped with artillery, and the call for support does not need to be passed down through layers. The decentralized command becomes a network communication mode, which can be more timely and efficient, and can achieve the goal of 'detection and destruction'."
This allows for a more efficient use of the advantages and flexibility of fire support and air strikes.
But that's not enough.
"Not enough? The class is calling for air support. I've already felt the terrifying power." Eisenhower was like a curious child at this moment.
Yes, this is an upgraded version of German mechanized warfare.
A new version of future warfare.
True system-of-systems warfare places extremely high demands on communication command chains and air-to-ground support.
Germany's industrial capacity is insufficient to achieve this, but the United States can.
"The army should now focus on developing army tactical systems!"
What is an Army tactical system?
"Self-propelled rocket launcher! Long range, high power, rapid firing, and high frequency!"
"Self-propelled rocket launchers? Shouldn't we be developing tracked self-propelled artillery like Europe?"
"No, rocket artillery! With advancements in fuel and technology, rockets can even reach farther and be more powerful. Artillery range is ultimately limited, and artillery is too large, making it quite inefficient."
"My God, Sean, what's wrong with your brain? I really want to see what's inside. Okay, I've got it. I'll take this to General Marshall. Our U.S. Army might just be sparking a revolution because of your suggestion!"
You will be the architect of the structural reforms of the U.S. military.
