Reader comments
Moreover, he also emphasized the need to conduct training according to the specialties of soldiers, so that everyone can bring out their own advantages. I particularly like his views on the training and selection of generals, and I think they make sense. However, I don't really like those who only have theory but no practical experience. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Overall, this book is very helpful for military research and is recommended to friends who are interested in military affairs.
