Xinhua Dictionary elaborates on the concept of strategy, which is "planning and guiding the overall situation of war". Plan the preparation and use of military forces ... plan operational guidelines, theater division, operational principles, etc. " From the above concise words, we can see a macroscopic, high-level and creative human thinking activity. It has a decisive influence on the course of the war.
Since ancient times, some outstanding military strategists have tried to grasp the relationship between military, politics and economy from a strategic perspective, analyze the comparison between the enemy and ourselves, and pay attention to the tactical application suitable for social conditions. Trying to find his internal laws from the complicated and changeable war appearances to guide the war.
Sun Tzu once pointed out that "going to the army to cut down the accumulation, then cutting down the diplomatic relations, and then cutting down the soldiers", "Those who are not good and good, who defeat the enemy without fighting, are good and good", and pointed out the relationship between war and diplomacy, war and comprehensive national strength. "On War" also pointed out that "war is nothing more than the continuation of another means of politics". Illustrates the relationship between military and politics.
These viewpoints are all trying to explain that the victory or defeat of a war is not a simple conflict within BL, but a contest of comprehensive strength, all of which are aimed at emphasizing the relationship between military and other social factors.
And the influencing factors are summarized as, for example, Tao, heaven and earth will be law. There are also material factors, mental factors and mathematical factors. And so on, and vaguely see that the clarity of strategic intention in strategic facts and the consideration of comprehensive situation play a significant role in strategic implementation. Pay full attention to the idea of making a decision before acting. For example, Qi Jiguang once said that "everything is established in advance", and Sima Yi said that "I am too deep to give up".
Theoretical preaching is often feeble if it is not proved by facts.
In history, the most famous star in China should be Xiang Yu. Feather brave crown three armies, is the main force to break the Qin dynasty. Why will it perish? Its "advantage" lies in its improper strategy. Its strategic purpose, logistics supply, army expansion and rectification, and contempt for political propaganda are often inappropriate.

Hannibal lecter is known as the father of military strategy. Hannibal made full use of his strategic thinking at night during his expedition to Rome, and only in this way did he achieve the invincible victory of 15. For example, after the Battle of Lake MINO in Tracy, Hannibal immediately released Rome's allies without ransom and told them that he was fighting for Italian freedom and JF. Attack the city for the next, attack the heart for the top, and deepen the essence of strategic thinking.
By the way, the strategic purpose is often higher than the tactical purpose. For example, in the civil war in China, Chen Yi and Su Yu sent troops to support Liu Deng's progress and sacrificed local interests to complete the strategic deployment of the whole war.
A good strategy can be to build a general framework for the direction of war, which consists of campaigns, and campaigns are the basic units. In every specific battle, the use of tactics has become crucial. How many soldiers became famous.
Tactics, principles and methods of fighting. It refers to the use of specific representative situations of both sides, such as topography and climate, and is a means to indicate the maximum role of operational factors.

Strategy is generally a kind of temple calculation category, while tactics are mostly moments between life and death. Therefore, its most valuable words are "odd" and "quasi".

For example, Alexander the Great, the father of tactics, changed his tactical principles, emphasizing that we should use troops decisively and take action by surprise. There is a famous saying that "it is difficult to succeed if you take it by surprise", just as Alexander decisively used the praetorian guard in the Battle of Gleneagles and later the Battle of Issus.
When Genghis Khan commanded the Mongolian army to sweep across Europe and Asia, there were also many classic tactics of winning more with less. If you are unhappy, you are attacking the fraudulent attack of Nanjing in the Jin Dynasty. Or lava war, was invented by using mobility and impact.
These classic tactics are to maximize the overall strength of existing combat forces, such as people and equipment. Regardless of all the circumstances, the party with good strategy and tactics will definitely have a greater chance of winning in the war than the other party.
War can be said to be a great misfortune of human society, but its influence on human society is undoubtedly enormous. The decisive factor of the victory or defeat of the war is people's creative use of the situation, so there are strategies and tactics, with more victories and less victories. It can be seen that strategy has a great influence on the direction of war.
