Who can cite the application of the golden section in other aspects?

Whoever takes strangeness as truth is hostile to strangeness, then he is me.

Got it right; People who are surprised by justice are enemies of justice,

Then I'll knock strangely.

Li Shimin

No matter how long we talk about the combination, we still have to say that it is not enough to just focus on the combination. We should further narrow our focus and see if there are more core secrets hidden in it. If you can't understand how to combine is the best secret, it won't help if you combine it a hundred times without a purpose.

There has never been a victory in the history of war. Therefore, in various versions of military language, there will be some terms that distinguish between primary and secondary actions, such as main attack direction, main attack target, feint, feint, detour and so on. Hidden behind these terms, I believe it is not only for the consideration of "all is fair in war", but also for the rational use of troops. There must be other reasons. Intuitively, all those famous or unknown people who have won countless battles are aware of the existence of something that may be called the "winning rule" and have approached it thousands of times. But so far, no commander-in-chief or philosopher dares to say that I have found it, and even the naming of this law has not been completed. In fact, it has always been hidden in human military practice. It can be said that every classic victory has verified this point. Only every time, people refuse to admit or are not sure that they are facing victory, but often attribute it to the care of mysterious fate. Many "Monday morning quarterback" monographs on war history are too mysterious to get to the point. However, there is indeed a side that overcomes the law. It is there, like an invisible man, with every war of mankind. Whoever leans its golden finger will step over the Arc de Triomphe with the sadness of the defeated. However, even those who are proud of war have never really witnessed its true face.

Comply with the golden section law.

Everything is a number. Pythagoras, an ancient wise man [1], followed this line of thinking and came across a mysterious set of numbers: 0.38+08. As a result, he discovered the golden section law!

(√5- 1)/2≈0.6 18

-

Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician. His famous motto: "Everything is a number", that is, all existing things can finally be summed up in several relationships. Although Pythagoras mixed rationalism and irrationalism, it still profoundly influenced the development of Greek classical philosophy and medieval European thought. Copernicus admitted that Pythagoras' concept of astronomy was the pioneer of his hypothesis, and Galileo was also regarded as Pythagoras. Proving the harmonious relationship of the world by dividing the golden section is only a concrete application of Pythagoras' thought. (The Concise Encyclopedia of Britain Volume I P7 15)

In the next 2500 years, this formula was regarded as the golden rule of aesthetics by plastic artists. The history of art convincingly proves that almost all works of art called masterpieces, whether they are handy or deliberate, are similar to or conform to this formula in their basic aesthetic characteristics. People have long been amazed at the beauty of the Parthenon in ancient Greece and suspected that it was a miracle. After calculation, it is found that the relationship between the vertical line and the horizontal line completely conforms to the ratio of 1: 0.438+08. In his book Towards New Architecture, contemporary architect Corbusier also founded his most important theory "basic design scale" according to the golden section law, which has had a far-reaching impact on architects and buildings all over the world [2]. It's a pity that this may be a formula that creation implies the laws of all fields to human beings with one field. In the long time tunnel, it has never left the world of artistic creation. Except for the gifted muse, few people are aware of this golden beauty rule, which may become or just be followed in other fields. It was not until 1953 that American J. Keefer discovered that finding the test point with the golden section law could approach the best state as soon as possible. His discovery was summarized as "optimization method" by China mathematician Hua, also called 0.6 18 method. And was once widely circulated in China. Although, as far as we know, this popular sea tactical movement has little effect, it shows the prospect of Huang Jinlv's application in fields other than art [3].

[2] See Classical Language of Architecture, written by Samson, p. 90.

[3] Divide a straight line segment with length L into two parts, so that the ratio of one part to the whole is equal to the ratio of the rest to this part, that is, X: L = (L-X): X. This division is called "golden section", and its ratio is slightly equal to 0.6 18. From ancient Greece to19th century, some people think that this proportion has aesthetic value in plastic arts, so it is called "golden section". In practical application, the simplest method is to get the ratio of 2: 3, 3, 5, 8, 13, 2 1 ... as an approximation. (Ci Hai, Shanghai Dictionary Publishing House, 1980, pp. 2057-2058) Coc2

In fact, long before Huang Jinlv's consciousness was consciously grasped, people had intuitively applied it to their respective practical fields. Naturally, the military field will not be missed. From the famous battles and battles in the history of war, we can easily find the erratic paw prints of this mysterious beast.

You don't need to look far, and you will find examples that conform to this law almost everywhere in the military field. The shadow of 0.6 18 can be seen everywhere from the radian of sabre blade, to the apex of bullets, shells and ballistic missiles flying along the trajectory, from the optimal dropping height and distance of aircraft entering dive bombing state [4], to the relationship between the length of supply line and the turning point of war. (Notes [4] to [12] in the text of this chapter are not marked in the original book, and are revised by the proofreader-the proofreader knows)

[4] Dive bombing is a main attack mode of attack aircraft using short-range missiles, rockets, guided and unguided bombs. When attacking, the attack plane enters the starting point of the battle from a low altitude (40-50 kilometers away from the target). Then climb to 2000-4000m, turn to the battle course, dive when the distance is 5- 10km, and drop the bomb at an angle of 30-50 when the distance is 1300- 1600m and 600- 1000m respectively. The damage accuracy of weapons is the highest in dive attacks. As shown in the figure:

(See Russian Foreign Military ReviewNo. 1992,No. 10)

Looking through the history of war, you will be secretly surprised, 0.6 18, like a golden belt wrapped in the wars of ancient and modern China and foreign countries. During the Spring and Autumn Period, in the battle of Yanling, he led an army to attack Zheng and fought a decisive battle with the Chu army that helped Zheng in Yanling. Gong Li took the advice of Miao Benhuang, a traitor from Chu, and sent troops to attack Zuo Jun. Attack the Chu army with another department, and gather the soldiers of the upper army, the lower army, the new army and the public to attack the Chu right army. The choice of its main attack point is just at the golden section [5]. We mentioned earlier the battle between Alexander and Darius in Abela, and the Macedonians chose the left-wing and central junction of the Persian army as the attack point. Coincidentally, this part happens to be the "golden point" of the whole front [6].

[6] See "Military History of the Western World" written by Fuller, Volume I, P 1 17. This book not only gives an accurate description of the Battle of Abela, but also includes an intuitive and vivid battlefield situation map.

For hundreds of years, people have been puzzled why Genghis Khan's Mongolian cavalry swept across Eurasia like a hurricane. Because the brutality, cruelty and cunning of barbarians and the mobility of cavalry alone are not enough to make a completely convincing explanation. Maybe there are other more important reasons? Sure enough, the golden section law once again shows its magic: we find that the combat formation of Mongolian cavalry is very different from the traditional phalanx in the West. In its five-row formation, the ratio of heavy cavalry to light cavalry is 2:3, the heavy cavalry in helmet vest is 2, and the fast and agile light cavalry is 3, which is another golden section! You can't help but admire the genius of a horse-riding thinker. It is natural that the army led by such a commander-in-chief has more impact than the European army that confronts it on the battlefield.

Christians in Europe are very talented in applying Huang Jinlv to religious art, but it seems that they didn't realize the usefulness of this rule in other aspects until very late. Until the black powder period, muskets gradually replaced spears, and the Dutch general Morris, who took the lead in mixing musketeers and spearmen to transform the traditional phalanx, still failed to realize this. It was only after King Gustav of Sweden adjusted this formation that the Swedish army became the most effective army in Europe at that time. What he did was to add 96 musketeers to Morris' original squadron of 265,438+06 spearmen+65,438+098 musketeers. This change immediately highlighted the role of firearms and made it a watershed in the formation of the army in the era of cold weapons and hot weapons. It goes without saying that the ratio of 198+96 musketeers to 2 16 spearmen makes us see the bright spot of Huang Jinlv again.

That's not all. Look at it, before we admit that it is a law outside the artistic law, how it is almost stubbornly "revealed" again and again, giving us a clear hint. In June 2002, Napoleon attacked Russia. In September, he entered Moscow after the Battle of Borokino, which failed to destroy the effective forces of the Russian army. At this time, Napoleon didn't realize that genius and luck were disappearing from him, and the peak and turning point of his career came at the same time. A month later, the French army withdrew from Moscow in the heavy snow. Three months of victory, two months of rise and fall, from the time axis, when the French emperor overlooked Moscow through the blazing flame, his foot just stepped on the golden section line. 130 in June, Nazi Germany launched the "Barbarossa" plan against the Soviet Union. For more than two years, the German army kept the momentum of attack, until the "Castle" operation ended in August 1943, and the German army turned to the defensive, and never launched an attack on the Soviet army that could be called a battle again. Perhaps we need to call this fact a coincidence: the Battle of Stalingrad, recognized by all war historians as the turning point of the Soviet Patriotic War, took place in1July when the war broke out, that is, 1 1 month of 1942, which is the "golden point" on the 26-month timeline when the German army turned from prosperity to decline.

Let's look at the Gulf War again. Before the war, according to military experts' estimation, if the equipment and personnel of * * * and the National Guard were lost by air strikes by 30% or more, they would basically lose their combat effectiveness. In order to make the Iraqi army's losses reach this critical point, the US military has repeatedly extended the bombing time. Until the "Desert Saber" came out of its sheath, 38% of 4,280 Iraqi tanks, 32% of 2,280 armored vehicles and 47% of 3 100 guns in the theater had been destroyed. At this time, the strength of the Iraqi army has dropped to about 60%. Through these cruel data, the mysterious light of 0.6 18 is 65438. 100 hours later, the "Desert Storm" ground campaign came to an end.

These examples scattered in the dust of history are really incredible. In isolation, they are too like one accident after another. But creation never does anything for no reason. If too many accidents show the same phenomenon, can you continue to treat them calmly as accidents? No, at this time, you must admit that this is the law.

The Grammar of Victory —— Some Correct Laws

There is a basic sentence structure in Chinese grammar. This structure divides a sentence or phrase into two parts: modifier and head word. The relationship between them is modification and being modified, that is, the former modifies the latter, and the former determines the tendency and characteristics of the latter. To be clear, the former is appearance and the latter is figure. We confirm that a person or thing is different from others or other things, generally according to his or her appearance and appearance, not according to his or her body or mechanism. From this point of view, the modifier should be the center of gravity in a sentence or phrase relative to the head word. Like red apples. Before being modified by "red", apple was just a general term for this kind of fruit, which was only general. And "red" gives this apple a particularity that can be regarded as "this". Obviously. "Red" plays an important role in this phrase. Another example is the special economic zone. Without the word "economy", the SAR is just a concept of regional division. After the modification of "economy", it gained special attributes and trends, and became the fulcrum for Deng Xiaoping to transform China with economic leverage. This structure is one of the basic forms of Chinese grammar:

Partial formal structure.

This structure of modifying rights with deviation exists so much in Chinese that Chinese speakers cannot speak without it. Because in a sentence, if there are only subjective words without explicit modification, the sentence will lose its clarity because of the lack of factors that can be grasped concretely, such as degree, orientation and form. For example, the words "good man", "bad thing", "tall building", "red flag" and "jogging" will become neutral words with no specific meaning if all the modifiers in the prefix are removed. It can be seen that in the semi-formal structure, "pian" is in the qualitative position of sentences and phrases compared with "Zheng". That is to say, in a sense, it can be understood that semi-formal structure is dominated by head words and modifiers, and "Zheng" is the body of "pian" and "pian" is the soul of "Zheng". When the body is established as the premise, the role of the soul is obviously more decisive. This subject-subordinate-subject relationship is the basis of the existence of semi-formal structure, and at the same time, as one of the structural ways of the symbol system corresponding to the objective world, it seems to imply something other than the regularity of language categories.

Along this path, we will soon see that there are a lot of biased relations not only in phrases such as "good guys", "bad guys", "tall buildings" and "red flags", but also in military languages such as aircraft carriers, cruise missiles, stealth aircraft, armored personnel carriers, self-propelled artillery, precision bombs, rapid reaction forces, air-ground integrated warfare and joint operations. In the world outside the language category, this relationship is also hierarchical. This is the meaning of borrowing-just borrowing-instead of copying rhetorical methods only seen in human language system in our own theory. We don't mean to associate the students of war and rhetoric, but we just want to use the word "partial rightness" to illustrate the core part of our theory, because we believe that there are a lot of relationships between partial rightness in the movement and development of many things. Moreover, in this relationship, the dominant role is often "bias" rather than "righteousness", which we can call "bias" (note that this is not the original intention of formal structure as a rhetorical method, but our extension). For example, in a country, the people are the main body, and the government is the dominant of the country; In an army, soldiers and middle and lower officers are the main body, while the high command is the leading force of the army; In a nuclear explosion, uranium or plutonium is the main body, and the means of bombarding them is the leading factor to trigger a chain reaction; In the Southeast Asian-style financial crisis, the injured country is the main body, while financial speculators are the dominant. Without the leadership of the government, the people are scattered; Without the leadership of the high command, the soldiers are all rabble; Without bombardment, uranium and plutonium are a pile of minerals; If there were no financial speculators making waves, the adjustment mechanism of the injured country should be able to avoid a financial disaster. In this relationship, regardless of the factors of two-way interaction, it is self-evident that who is partial and who is right, who modifies who.

The above discussion shows that this kind of partial formal structure is an asymmetric structure, so there is an unbalanced relationship between partial and positive. In this respect, it is very similar to the golden section law: the relationship between 0.6 18 and 1 is both asymmetric and unbalanced. We have every reason to regard it as another form of expression. Because in the biased structure, it is biased, not positive, that matters. So is the golden section law. What matters is 0.6 18, not 1. This is the same feature of both. Laws tell us that there must be some similar laws between two things with similar characteristics. If there is a * * * law between the golden section and the biased structure, it should be:

0.6 18 = deviation.

Perhaps the story about horse racing in Tian Ji is the best illustration of this point. When the overall strength is at a disadvantage, Sun Bin, a great strategist, flaunts himself as a classic work that can represent China's ancient game wisdom. He started from Tian Ji's dismounting, and after losing a game that must be lost, he used his middle horse, even the other side's dismounting and middle horse, to ensure the two-game advantage needed for winning [8]. This way of winning the whole game (subject) by losing one and ensuring two can be regarded as a typical semi-formal structure. And the result of two wins in three games is completely in line with the golden ratio of 2: 3. Here, what we see is the perfect convergence and unification of the two laws:

-

[8] See Historical Records and The Art of War of Sun Tzu and Biography of Wu Qi.

Huang Jinlv = partial positive law.

Discovering laws is the result and the beginning of studying problems. As long as we believe that something called "the law of partial rights" runs through the operation of things generally, we should believe that this law, like Huang Jinlv, will not only leave a blank in the military field.

This is also a fact.

Battle of Qilu long spoon. When the two armies confronted each other, the Qi army was menacing and the Lu army held its ground. The Qi army beat drums three times and rushed back to the array three times, but still did not shake the position of the Lu army, and the momentum was obviously low. Lu Jun took the opportunity to counterattack and won a great victory. After the war, Cao Gui, the counselor, explained to Duke Zhuang the truth of Lu Sheng's defeat in this battle: the enemy "gained momentum, then failed, and finally ran out." . I am tired, I am surplus, so I will overcome it [9]. Judging from the course of the whole campaign, the campaign can be divided into five stages: one drum of the Qi army-another drum of the Qi army-three drums of the Qi army-Jun Lv's counterattack-Jun Lv's pursuit. From the first stage to the third stage, the strategy of avoiding the enemy's sharp edge was adopted, so that the Qi army quickly crossed the golden section of its own attack power without any success, and the Lu army accurately chose this point as the opportunity to counterattack, which fully confirmed the golden section law (3: 5G0.438+08) on the battlefield 2,700 years ago. To be sure, Cao Gui at that time could not know Pythagoras and his golden section theory 200 years later. Moreover, even if he knows this theory, it is impossible to accurately detect where 0.08+08 is in an ongoing war. However, he guessed the golden section intuitively, which is the talent of all talented military strategists.

-

[9] See Zuo Zhuan's Debate on Cao Gui. After that, when he attended Qilu in Kedi, he robbed it with a dagger, forcing Qi to return to the land where he invaded Lu. Resourceful and courageous, it is a rare good soldier. (See Historical Records: Biography of Assassins)

In the Battle of Canny, hannibal lecter and Cao Gui had the same idea. Like Cao Gui, he also knows the mystery of weakening the enemy's attack power. So he uncharacteristically put the weakest Gaul army and Spanish infantry in the middle of the front line where elite troops should have been deployed, so that they could face the attack of the Roman army. After they couldn't support it, a crescent-shaped depression gradually appeared in front of them. I don't know whether Hannibal deliberately created or accidentally formed this new moon, which became a huge buffer to disperse the attack power of the Roman army. When this powerful force gradually decayed due to the extension of the front, and it was a spent force near the bottom of the Carthage front, the Carthaginians, who were generally at a disadvantage but were dominated by cavalry, lost no time to let their soldiers ride on the wings of Qi Fei, quickly completed the siege of the Roman army, and turned Carney into a slaughterhouse that slaughtered 70,000 creatures. [ 10]

-

[10] The Battle of Carney is the most famous example of war in western history, which will be mentioned in almost all works on war history. (America) Bevan Alexander's "Commander-in-Chief's Way to Victory" is illustrated and illustrated, which is helpful to understand what we call the "local correction law". A Commander's Way to Win the Battle, Xinhua Publishing House, 1996, p1-13.

These two campaigns, which have the same effect, are dominated by the strategy of avoiding the enemy's sharp edge and defeating the enemy's spirit, and adopt a combat mode that obviously deviates from the decisive battle, and take the exhausted point of the enemy's attack power as the best opportunity for their own counterattack, which obviously conforms to Huang Jinlv and the law of local correction in tactics.

If we don't regard these two war cases as coincidences or isolated phenomena, then we will see more Huang Jinlv-Pianjian law shining in the history of war. This may be more obvious in modern warfare. During World War II, the German attack on France permeated the essence of these two laws from beginning to end. Whether the tank is changed from an accessory of infantry to a main battle weapon, or the blitzkrieg is regarded as a main battle theory without World War I routines, choosing the Ardennes Pass as the leading direction of the German attack not only surprised the enemy, but also surprised the old generals of the German high command. These were certainly unorthodox and obviously "biased" in the eyes of people at that time. It was this bias that led to a fundamental change in the military thinking of the German army, and also made Count Sliffin's dream of "sleeves blowing across the English Channel" a nightmare for the British army in Dunkirk. Who would have thought that the blueprint of this miracle was drawn by two junior officers-Manstein and guderian? [ 1 1]

-

During [11]1937-1938, manstein was the chief of staff of the German General Staff. Due to the internal contradictions of the German army, Manstein was expelled from the army headquarters and was appointed as the division commander of 18. 1939, castle wolfenstein issued the "yellow battle plan" on the western front, with the intention of breaking through the expected position of the Anglo-French allied forces in Belgium from the front of the powerful right wing and covering its side with weak forces. Obviously, this plan is a copy of the 19 14 schruiwen plan. Manstein, then chief of staff of A Army, drew up his own operational plan in the name of A Army, and submitted it to the Army Headquarters in the form of memos or operational drafts for many times. But it has been rejected by senior generals at headquarters. The army headquarters was annoyed with Manstein's readiness for war and transferred him to the 38th Army as commander. Manstein used the opportunity of meeting Hitler to report his thoughts and persuaded Hitler, who was completely amateurish in military affairs but highly savvy. The main point of this "Manstein Plan", which was called by liddell hart after the war, was to concentrate on the left wing and use armored forces to raid the Ardennes. (The Lost Victory by Manstein, Chinese Academy of Military Sciences, 1980)

The 19 Panzer Corps under the command of guderian is the best practitioner of "Manstein Plan". (Lightning Hero, by guderian, Warrior Publishing House, 198 1 year)

The same war can be reflected in the French campaign, which obviously has a tendency to formalize. You can also take Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor as an example. Isoroku Yamamoto uses aircraft carriers just as guderian uses tanks. Although in Yamamoto's mind, battleships are still regarded as the main force of the future decisive battle at sea, it is sensitive and correct to choose aircraft carriers and their carrier-based aircraft as the leading weapons of the US Navy. What is more striking is that when he laid hands on the Americans, he avoided the frontal attack on the long Pacific coast of the United States, and at the same time fully considered the attack radius of his joint fleet, that is, the best position that his fist could hit, so he chose Hawaii as the attack point, which is very important for containing the whole Pacific Ocean and making Americans refuse to believe that it is important to get information in advance. It is worth mentioning that this believer in the decisive battle at sea, in the first world war about the future war, turned out to be biased and won by surprise. [ 12]

-

[12] after Isoroku Yamamoto became commander of the joint fleet, he denied the opinion that the Japanese navy chief of staff and the Ministry of Supervision should attack the Philippines first, and decided to attack the US Pacific fleet first to paralyze it. 194 1 10 On February 7th, six aircraft carriers and 423 aircraft under the command of General Nan Yun sneaked into Pearl Harbor according to Isoroku Yamamoto's plan, sank four battleships, including Arizona, and blew up 188 aircraft, which greatly weakened the US Pacific Fleet. (liddell hart (History of World War II, pp. 276-335)

By analyzing this step, we should understand that neither Huang Jinlv nor the partially revised law should be understood in a narrow sense literally, but only in essence. The ever-changing battlefield will never leave enough time or provide enough information for any military commander or commander to measure the golden section one by one and consider how to grasp the deviation one by one. Even the core elements of these two dichotomies, 0.6 18 and "slice", are not constants in the mathematical sense. However, the god of victory is constantly appearing in thousands of incarnations in ever-changing wars, battlefields and war situations.

Sometimes it is manifested in the choice of means. For example, in the Gulf War, schwarzkopf took aerial bombing as the leading means, making the army and navy, which have always been the protagonists of the war, become supporting roles;

Sometimes it is manifested in the choice of strategy. For example, Deng Nici changed the naval battle from ship to ship to submarine attacking merchant ships. As a result, the threat of this "wolf tactics" to Britain is far greater than the decisive battle at sea;

Sometimes it is manifested in the choice of weapons, such as Napoleon's artillery, guderian's tanks, Isoroku Yamamoto's aircraft carrier, and precision ammunition in the "Gold Coast" operation. These are the leading weapons that can tilt the balance of war;

Sometimes it is manifested in the choice of attack points, such as Nelson in the Battle of Trafalgar [13], who skillfully designated the defenders of the French fleet as the main attack point, so that the victory of a naval battle led to the birth of a maritime empire;

-

[13] Before the Battle of Trafalgar, Nelson taught his captain the "secret", which was to change the traditional line tactics in naval battles. And split our warships into two parts, one is to attack the middle of the enemy fleet at a 90-degree angle, separate its guards from the China army, and then focus on attacking the enemy guard ships; The other team cut off the China army and the avant-garde, and concentrated on attacking the China army. It was too late for the enemy avant-garde ship to come back. The course of the Trafalgar naval battle was almost exactly as Nelson expected. Although he was wounded and killed in the battle, the British navy won a great victory. (Modern naval history of the world, edited by Ding Chaobi, Ocean Press, 1994, P 143- 155)

Sometimes it is manifested in the choice of fighters. For example, in the fourth Middle East War, Sadat chose10.6, the D-day when the Egyptian army crossed the Suez Canal, which coincided with the middle of Muslim Ramadan, and set the attack time at the afternoon when the sun shone directly on the Israeli pupils from west to east, rewriting the myth that the Israeli army was invincible in one fell swoop [/kloc-0.4];

-

[14] See "The Fourth Middle East War", by Hald Kongzerman (Germany), Business Publishing, 1975. The War in the Middle East, by Jon Kinch, Shanghai Translation Publishing House, 1979.

Sometimes it is manifested in the uneven distribution of troops. For example, in the "Schrieffen Plan" for invading France formulated by the German high command before World War I, 53 of its 72 divisions were boldly concentrated on the right wing as the main attack, and the rest 19 divisions were placed in the left center of the long front. As a result, this sand table operation, which has never really been implemented, has become the most famous war plan in history;

Sometimes it is manifested in the use of strategies. For example, in 260 BC, Qin and Zhao Yi competed for each other. The king of Qin was not in a hurry to use troops immediately, but according to his suggestion, he attacked south Korea first, which made Zhao lose his dependence. And pretend to make peace, so that the governors will no longer help Zhao; Once again, the treacherous court official asked the prince of Zhao to withdraw his general Lian Po, appointed an armchair strategist Zhao Kuo, and finally defeated Zhao in Changping. Qin was defeated in this battle not so much because of its strength as because of its strategy [15].

[15] See (China War History), Military Translation Publishing House, Volume II, P 197.

There is also a sign worthy of our attention and study, that is, more and more countries are looking beyond the military field on major issues related to politics, economy and national defense security, and supplementing, enriching or even replacing military means by other means, so as to achieve the goal that cannot be achieved by force alone. This is the biggest biased revision of war from the view of war. At the same time, it also indicates that the future war will show the trend of more and more formal combination of military means and other means.

All of the above, no matter which choice, have the characteristics of "bias". Like Huang Jinlv, the partial revision law opposes all forms of parallelism, balance, symmetry, all-encompassing and security, and advocates that the sword is biased. Only by avoiding the hard impact of the hammer anvil will your blade be as skilled as an ox. This is the most basic victory grammar in War Eternity.

If we call the golden section law in art the law of beauty, then why not call it the mirror image copy in the military field-the law of partial correction, which is the so-called law of victory?

Subjectivity and wholeness: the essence of partial form combination

Among the many internal factors that make up a thing, there must be a certain factor that occupies a prominent or dominant position in all factors. If the relationship between this factor and other factors is harmonious and perfect, then somewhere it will always conform to the formula of 0.6 18: 1. Of course, it will also conform to the partial method. Because here, "all factors" is the subject, that is, positive; "A certain factor" is dominant, but it is biased. When a thing has a specific purpose, deviation and justice constitute a master-slave relationship. When two cows fight, it's a cow, and it's its horns that are biased; Two knives are opposite, which is a knife, and deviation is its sharpness. It is clear at a glance who is in charge and who is in charge. When the purpose changes, new leading factors will appear and replace the old leading factors, forming a new positive relationship with all existing factors. Grasping the relationship between the subject and the whole in things is equivalent to grasping the essence of Huang Jinlv and the law of partial correction.

Based on this, we can quickly sort out five main meridians from the complicated context of war: main weapons and all weapons; Main means and all means; Main force and total force; Main dimensions and all-round dimensions; The main field and the whole field. This "five masters and five exhausts" basically summarizes the biased relationship that exists in the war.

Or take the Gulf War as an example, the Coalition forces
