Zhuang Yan had contact with Long Gang twice, and both times he could sense his sharp-edged style.
The first time the two met was at a seminar, and Zheng Zheng was also present.
The main topic of that seminar was "The Evolution of War in the 21st Century and the Concept of Intelligent Warfare", and Long Gang was specially invited to give a lecture.
He seriously introduced the acquaintance between Long Gang and Zhuang Yan, and said that his junior student had made great achievements in the research of intelligent warfare, and many of his analyzes and writings had been recognized and praised by his superiors.
Zhuang Yan himself also has his own views on future intelligent warfare.
The PLA's special operations developed from the earliest use of a rope, a dagger and a gun to the later focus on high-tech equipment for individual soldiers, and then later developed from the traditional iron base to the later sea, land and air amphibious operations. This is all progress.
However, after entering the 21st century, intelligence, networking, and informatization have penetrated into all aspects of war and every grassroots combat unit. Technological changes and the evolution of war models have become new topics for young military scholars and commanders to focus on and focus on.
.
At that time, Zhuang Yan enthusiastically asked Long Gang for advice. His original intention was to discuss the participation and integration of artificial intelligence and robots in special operations under the conditions of the new era.
Unexpectedly, Long started to laugh as soon as he heard Zhuang Yan's words. His attitude was a bit perfunctory. Zhuang Yan sensitively sensed that he was not interested in this topic, so he had no choice but to give up.
Long Gang pays more attention to the three aspects of sea, air and rocket forces. After all, in Long Gang's view, in the future, the PLA will need to face one problem in the east and one problem in the southwest. War is most likely to occur in these two directions.
Also the most sensitive.
As for the top priority, he believes that it is still the east, which is the top priority for revitalizing the entire strategic chess game.
Therefore, Long Gang's research direction has always been how to win a war against the blue side in a future high-tech war.
Zhuang Yan and Zheng Zheng joked, saying that they were studying grand strategy, so no wonder they looked down on my small business of special operations.
Seriously speaking, that's not the case. It's just that there are specializations in the field. This is what Long Gang studies. We are at an important historical juncture. On the one hand, the country is rising rapidly, but it is still in the stage of growing from big to strong, and it will be fragile.
In the early days, there is a risk that the great cause of rejuvenation may be interrupted by local wars used by the defending powers; on the other hand, although we are catching up with traditional military technology, we also have the advantage of being a latecomer, but after all, they have developed for so many years, and we are not able to develop it overnight.
We can really overtake in corners, but after the new century, new technologies represented by artificial intelligence and big data are constantly emerging, and the signs of a revolution in the military field are becoming increasingly apparent. On these two tracks, the gap between us and our opponents is not big, and it is difficult to catch up.
smaller.
Therefore, Long Gang's research is very conducive to closely integrating military development and national destiny in this era of major adjustments to the international order and simultaneous advancement of military reforms, penetrating the "fog" of complicated technological development, and grasping the future.
The trend of war development, seizing the opportunity of military reform, will bring our national defense strength to a higher level and even leave our opponents behind on new tracks.
Zhuang Yan has always been obsessed with special operations research, and after a few years at the grassroots level, Yan Yan began to be transferred to the headquarters to start strategic research and military reforms. The "Whetstone" troops on the prairie had a share of the promotion and contribution of Yan Yan.
.
The second time the two met was at the prairie base in the north.
At that time, as an expert on the blue side of the other side, Long Gang was hired to come to the base for guidance.
The content of the guidance included how to more accurately simulate the blue team's tactics and combat methods. At that time, the "Whetstone" unit had just been established and it was not long. After watching the drill, Long Gang mercilessly used the blue team in the base at the summary meeting.
The army officers severely criticized him.
There are many points of criticism, the most important of which is the saying "It is difficult to paint the bones of a tiger with paint." Even though the "Whetstone" troops can simulate the weapons of the blue side on the other side through data simulation and confrontation, their combat thinking cannot be simulated.
Still using the same old PLA method.
In essence, it is still PLA versus PLA, just an enhanced version of PLA versus a traditional PLA, which is for self-entertainment.
Long Gang spoke rudely. He was just a deputy regiment-level instructor who had just graduated with a master's degree a few years ago, but he criticized the corps and brigade-level leaders present with their faces red. Even the serious people present were merciless, saying
If the simulated Blue Army does not simulate the essence of tactics, there is no need to establish a "Blue Army" whetstone force, which is simply a waste of military expenditures.
Such intense criticism shocked and admired Zhuang Zheng, who was the commander of the Blue Army's special forces at the time.
Therefore, Zhuang Yan has always respected Long Gang, who is young but has extremely high strategic vision and theoretical level.
This is the third time the two have met.
Obviously, Long Gang came here with the chief. He personally had no interest in this kind of competition and looked bored sitting there.
Zhuang Yan said to Zheng Yan, "Do you know what your junior brother's biggest problem is?"
He thought seriously and said, "Are you afraid that he is just talking on paper?"
He solemnly sighed and said: "I may be a bit too naive. You and I worked our way up from the grassroots level. I always feel that no matter what kind of theoretical research we do, we can't do it without the actual soil. You...
Junior, I think what is most lacking is grassroots experience. Send him to a grassroots combat unit for a temporary job. Don’t stay in a research room all day long doing theory. Maybe he will gain more..."
He looked at Zhuang Yan solemnly for a while, then suddenly turned around and waved to Long Gang: "Junior, come here."
Long Gang was startled, seeing that he was being called seriously, so he could only stand up and come over to sit down in the empty seat next to the two of them.
Zhuang Yan nudged Zheng Zhen with his elbow and gave him a shameful look. He guessed what Zheng Zhen was going to say next.
Serious just pretended not to know, and said directly to Long Gang: "Have you encountered problems in your recent research?"
Long Gang frowned and nodded: "Well, my research report is currently stuck on one of the points."
Seriously asked: "What point?"
Long Gang said: "The dilemma of information capabilities under the new situation of war conditions."
With a serious smile, he turned to look at Zhuang Yan and said, "It seems to be related to your profession."
Long Gang nodded without hesitation: "It is indeed related. It includes intelligence information collection and precision strikes under high-tech warfare, and is related to Brigadier Zhuang Da's special operations."
Zhuang Yan asked: "Our current special operations are also based on information technology. The use of individual soldiers and data link platforms has become popular. I have been working on the reform of data interconnection in the past two years."
Long Gang glanced at Zhuang Yan, with a trace of disdain in his eyes: "Brigadier Zhuang may not understand what I just said. What I study is unmanned. Your special operations are still limited to 'manned'. Unmanned."
The goal of chemicalization is zero casualties and non-contact, do you understand?"
He turned his hand and pointed at the snipers who were competing.
"The professions that will be eliminated in future wars will also include snipers like yours. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhuang Yan smelled Long Gang's aggressive smell, so he asked: "I don't understand, please give me some advice from Long Gaoshen."
Please give me a monthly pass, please give me a monthly pass!
These chapters are foreshadowing, you will understand later in the book.
There is a big drama later, so please pay attention, of course, it is at the end of the book.
