After learning the real reason, Lu Jiadong couldn't help but take a deep breath and sighed deeply. According to his original idea, after more than ten years of reform and opening up, China, at least after more than ten years of reform and opening up, could at least support the airs of a medium-sized military power, and realize the initial update of equipment and military structures.

Then, based on this, we achieved deterrence against hostile forces outside the region, and finally reversed the strategic dilemma that lasted for more than 20 years after the Cold War. However, we did not expect that at this most important strategic node, the pace of reform of the Chinese army was still entangled by a noose called "Finished Money". After hearing the words of Lu Weijun, Lu Jiadong did not understand it very much. Could it be that even more than ten years of accumulation of any results? But soon Lu Jiadong figured out the link.

If it were later generations, Lu Jiadong might not be able to figure it out, and might even complain a few words in righteousness. However, he came to this era and integrated into this era, so he could feel the opportunities of this era and also felt the helplessness of this era...

More than ten years of reform and opening up have indeed allowed China's economy to take off, and at the same time, it has accumulated a certain amount of wealth. According to normal circumstances, using this wealth is enough to allow the army to have the initial ability to resist high-tech wars. Just like India and Iraq, as long as money is thrown into the international arms market, some people will help you get the job done.

However, does having a shiny blade mean super combat power? The Gulf War is tantamount to giving this question the most appropriate answer, that is, you can never buy modernization of national defense with money. Since you cannot buy ready-made military equipment with money, there is only one way to develop independently;

But this road is extremely difficult and long, especially in the early accumulation process, which often takes one or even several generations to complete, and the time is measured in ten years. The one China chose is precisely such a difficult road, and the reason is that it is self-reliance.

However, China has not been going smoothly on this path, and the fundamental reason is that its basic level is too weak. In fact, the reason is very simple. Western developed countries have spent more than two hundred years polishing and accumulating related technologies since the Industrial Revolution, and have long reached the point of being pure.

Since the Opium War in 1840, China has been suffering from foreign invasions, and its stable and peaceful development period is only 40 years since 1949. Even if the Chinese grow two legs, it is impossible to complete the technical accumulation of developed countries for more than two hundred years in just 40 years, under the premise of empty hands.

Because of this, China has many shortcomings in aviation, shipbuilding, electronics, automation, software, computers, etc., and these shortcomings are often necessary hardware for various military reforms. The older generation of leaders saw this clearly and formulated plans such as 863 and "Torch" to develop China's basic technology.

However, China's foundation is so thin that the technology that Stone is common in developed countries is a cutting-edge technology that can fill the gap when it comes to China, especially the aviation industry. The Soviet Union put into production and equipped with the "Badrage" medium-range bomber in the 1950s.

It was not until the mid-1980s that the Chinese aviation department fully realized its localization and met the air force's use standards. You should know that it was all technology in the 1950s. Even so, the Chinese aviation department spent more than 20 years to fully understand it. There is also the J-7 fighter. After obtaining relevant drawings and prototypes in the 1960s, it took more than 20 years to finally complete the localization, and began mass production and equip the troops in the mid-1980s...

There are many such examples, not only the aviation industry, but also other industrial categories. They are undergoing a long process of technical accumulation. Because of this, a large part of China's finances have been invested in these basic research projects, either imported from abroad or independently developed. In short, under the various advantages of economic development, a large amount of funds are thrown into the pit of basic technology.

This is definitely a long process. Perhaps ten years or twenty years may not produce any results. This is why, after more than ten years of reform and opening up, the development of the Chinese military seems to be on the spot, and even in the early 21st century, there will be no major changes.

It was not until 2010 that China's military equipment showed a blowout development. Warships were lined up on the ship platform, and new fighter jets spread their wings soared, which made many people feel dazzled. How could China have the technical strength of a superpower in just a few years?

In fact, it is not that China has been injected with stimulants that can surpass the times in four or five years. It is because after a long period of investment, accumulation and exploration, it finally bears fruit in these few years. Everything is natural, moistening things silently, but it is silently consolidating the backbone and strengthening the body. It is not until the moment of its true rise that it thunderstorms the world.

It was just before the roar on the ground, there was a long wait and endless loneliness, and of course there was an astronomical investment. Because of this, Comrade Xiaoping's words "The army must be patient" were better than "the army must be waiting", waiting for the strengthening of China's comprehensive national strength, waiting for the success of the technology that supports the backbone...

"It seems that the most important thing is time!"

After a long time, Lu Jiadong nodded meaningfully. To be honest, he did not want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime strategic node, but the reality forced him to make such a choice. It is true that Lu Jiadong is a unique time traveler, carrying military technology far beyond this era.

But he is only an individual, not a god. He is a simple firearm and cannon can still deal with the information he has contacted in later generations. However, with the gradual improvement of modern war theory, the equipment system required is becoming more and more complex. Even if Lu Jiadong knows the composition, he does not know the principle inside. In the end, hundreds of thousands of military technicians need to break it bit by bit like moving ants. Before that, what else can there be except waiting?

Still have time to buy!

Since he cannot cover everything, he can only use the point to lead the whole, and use what he has learned to gain advantages in one or two fields, thereby driving the comprehensive upgrade of related industrial chains and thus affecting the overall development. Lu Jiadong did this in the past when he promoted the project, but the starting point was to seek speed, that is, to make China's military industry rise at the fastest speed.

Now, Lu Jiadong, who suddenly realized, has changed from seeking speed and speed to seeking stability and seeking quality. Although it is important, it is easy to achieve results. However, the consequences of fast do not necessarily improve the combat effectiveness of the army. Take the J-H9 developed by Wanshan Aviation Institute for example. Whether in terms of data, performance, and actual combat performance, it can be regarded as a first-class fighter.

However, under the bright appearance of the JH9 series, the engine failure occurs frequently, the body life is insufficient, the overall structure is weak, the overhaul interval is extremely short, the accident rate and scrap rate are extremely high, in short, a good JH9 does not have the ability to continue combat,

The reason why J-H9 is like this is that several key technologies in the supporting industry chain have never been able to be broken through, which has caused the J-H9 to be like a premature baby, with a glamorous air, but its interior is weak, which also caused a headache for the Navy and Air Force. It was grounded three times in less than a year of equipment, making Wanshan Aviation Institute no time to explore the new generation of fighter jet technology and locked all resources on the weak J-H9.

Lu Jiadong had thought about similar questions, but as the 1990s progressed step by step, similar history came again, which made Lu Jiadong speed up his pace regardless of everything. However, after hearing what Lu Weijun said today, he finally understood that the older generation and the senior management had not seen the development of the situation, but they wanted to lay a firmer foundation and a more stable foundation. As the saying goes, blacksmiths need to be strong themselves. How can they make a thin life without accumulation? If they have unparalleled strength, what role can one or two big rats who can only sneak into secrets play...

"I knew you were a smart person!" Lu Weijun saw Lu Jiadong reveal the deep meaning in his words, and he couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Yes, the most important thing for us is time and development time. At this point, you, Lu Jiadong, are doing better than us professional soldiers!"

After hearing Lu Weijun's words, Lu Jiadong smiled and said nothing, but he didn't have a long-term anxiety, because from Lu Weijun's meaningful words, Lu Jiadong already knew the long-term strategy at the core level. Since it coincided with his own, there was no need to bear too much burden. After all, this country and this army are not something he can support alone...

"Dingling ~~"

Just as Lu Jiadong and Lu Weijun were talking about the future military development plan, the phone on the table suddenly rang. Lu Weijun stopped talking and said something big was settled to Lu Jiadong, and then answered the phone. After hearing two sounds, his eyes were wide open:

"What did you say? It was him? Liu~!~!~ Lian~!~!~ Kun? I really didn't expect it was him... Wait, what did you say? What... The coalition forces have locked in Jiadong and are about to launch a fixed-point clearance?"

After hearing Cao Xiaodong's words on the other end of the phone, Lu Weijun was stunned at first, then stood up and looked at Lu Jiadong beside him with a look of shock. At this time, Cao Xiaodong on the other end of the phone said with great certainty:
Chapter completed!
