"This idea is good!" Then a staff officer said, "But... this is too far away from us!"
"Far away?" I was stunned when I heard this.*
"Staff General Lin means..." Commander Li explained: "Our current industrial foundation is weak. Although our research on missiles was early, it has been interrupted for many years. In addition, the national strength is now in poverty and is waiting to be developed. It is conceivable that all industries are ready to be developed.
It seems unrealistic to develop such an anti-ship ballistic missile that is maneuverable by automobiles and requires a range of 3,000 kilometers. And even if there is this possibility... it will happen at least ten years or even decades later!"
"Oh!" I couldn't help but understand the thoughts of the cadres.
Actually, this is not surprising. I am a modern person and know that history has developed according to this trajectory. That is, I know very well that this Dongfeng 21 anti-ship ballistic missile will definitely be successfully developed and equipped with our army, and these are still to me.
A fact.
But this is not the case for a group of cadres. As Commander Li said, we have only restarted the missile project for a while, and we are still in a very backward state in terms of missiles, even the first solid ground-to-ground missile
It was only a few years later that I successfully tested the project, and at this time I talked about the idea of an imaginary enemy aircraft carrier from 3,000 kilometers away. No wonder the leaders felt that it was "distant".
Commander Zhang was meditating for a while, and then said, "I think this kind of thing should be farther away. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Besides, just like what you said before, developing aircraft carriers, fighter jets, and air-to-air missiles
Wait, what is not 'distant'?!"
Everyone couldn't help but remain silent after hearing this.
After a long time, the cadre called General Staff Lin said, "This is why I prefer to develop fighter jets and air-to-air missiles. The current situation is that our country is an ally of the US and British Empire. And we are jointly dealing with the Soviet Union.
The enemy's allies. In this situation, I believe that the United States, Britain and other parliament hope that we have more advanced fighter jets or air-to-air missiles to balance the Soviet Union!”
"I agree with Staff Lin!" Another cadre responded and said: "We have also seen it in the Cabernet War. Argentina basically uses American equipment, such as Skyhawk fighter jets, aviation bombs, etc., and even
Their only aircraft carrier was originally from the UK, which means we are also very likely to get some of their advanced equipment. And the facts also prove that we can get more advanced equipment, such as it will be delivered soon.
gun aiming radar and ship-air missiles.
Of course, we cannot pin our hopes on the equipment sold to us by Britain, the United States and other countries. I mean we should learn some techniques from these equipment that we do not have, and digest and absorb these technologies into our own equipment.
This will undoubtedly make our army move towards modernization faster!”
"Yes, that's what I mean!" Chief Staff Lin continued: "And I think that now, because we are already quasi-ally with the United States, the United States will definitely make appropriate concessions on the Taiwan issue. In this way, I think
The Taiwan issue cannot be delayed for too long!”
After hearing this, I realized that what Staff Lin said about "distance" actually has another meaning, that is, he believes that the Taiwan issue can be solved in front of him or in recent years.
Of course, Staff Lin’s idea is not without reason, because even when the Chinese team is just beginning to move towards modernization, it is not too big a problem to liberate Taiwan. The problem has always been the interference of the United States. And now the United States is
Becoming our ally means that this problem has been weakened. Then in the foreseeable future, the solution to the Taiwan issue will not be far away.
From this I really understand why so many people among the cadres are eager to develop aircraft carriers, fighter jets, air-to-air missiles and other equipment... These equipment are offensive weapons. And a considerable number of them can be purchased directly from the United States and Britain.
In other words, a quasi-modern force can be formed in a short period of time and can play a shocking and even play a role in actual combat.
But I know that this is not a fact, and I can also understand why the leaders have this idea. You should know that most of them have grown up or come through under ten years of closedness to the outside world, so they are international and
The idea of relationships between countries is relatively simple, and the international view is relatively unsatisfied with the times.
"What do you think?" Seeing that I was silent, Commander Li raised his head at me.
"Say that..." After thinking about it, I said: "First of all, I think the United States should discuss the position of the Taiwan issue. Some leaders think that we are ally with the United States now, so the United States may have a chance to be on the Taiwan issue.
It should be said that it is impossible to give in and ultimately achieve the goal of resolving the Taiwan issue."
After looking at the leaders around me who didn't agree with me, I continued: "We all know that the interests are all about countries. For example, the United States, Britain and other countries have changed their previous attitude towards our country and are willing to sell some advanced equipment.
And progress has given us, and even supported us internationally, because we have a common enemy...the Soviet Union.
However, on the Taiwan issue, if we take the standpoint of the United States, will it be more beneficial to the United States to continue to maintain this split state? Or will it be more beneficial to us to completely resolve the Taiwan issue?!"
After hearing this, the cadres were stunned. They had never considered the problem like this before.
"It is obvious that the former has greater interests!" I continued: "The reason is very simple. Once the Taiwan issue is truly resolved, the United States will have no political chips. And if the Taiwan issue still exists, then the United States can continue to do so.
This will threaten us and benefit both ends. So what I want to say is that even if we have been friendly with the United States for decades, hundreds or even thousands of years, the Taiwan issue will not be resolved. The United States plays the role of maintaining the world
The peaceful policeman, but he is doing something to create trouble and profit from it all over the world!
So, if we understand this, we will be very clear that all the concessions and benefits of the United States now are due to the Soviet Union, and we must not pin our hopes to resolve the Taiwan issue on the United States."
"Well said!" Commander Zhang nodded and said, "So it is foreseeable that such a situation will occur. When we think that if we are stronger and the United States will retreat a little more, we can solve the Taiwan issue, and Taiwan will also become stronger.
And new problems will arise. This is a piece of cake painted on the wall. You can see it, but you will never get it!"
"In terms of weapons and equipment!" I continued: "My point of view is that this will not speed up the pace of our army's modernization, but may slow down!"
"This...is unlikely!" Lin advised: "We have obtained more advanced technology and equipment, so how can we slow down the pace of modernization instead?"
"The main reason is that we have been in the equipment and research of Soviet-style equipment!" I said: "And there are often big differences in design ideas between Soviet-style equipment and American-style equipment. I don't know much about high-tech things.
, Let me talk about assault rifles... The Soviet AK47 is characterized by good reliability, great power, but poor accuracy, while the performance of the US military's m16 is exactly the opposite.
This particularity is reflected in high-tech equipment such as fighter jets and missiles, which often means that if we want to take the American equipment route, we must completely overturn the previous research results and accumulated experience.
This is undoubtedly quite dangerous, because once our common enemy with the United States, the Soviet Union, is defeated and we are no longer ally with the United States, it will waste several more years on the wrong path of our military industry.
time.”
I saw many cadres nodding constantly, and it was obvious that they had actually encountered this problem now.
"But Comrade Yang Xuefeng!" A cadre frowned and said, "We have no choice now. The Soviet Union has had a feud with us. What can we choose if we don't choose American equipment? It's impossible that it won't develop!"
"Of course!" I said: "This does not mean that we don't buy equipment or develop it, but as Chief Lin said, what is more important for us to buy equipment is to absorb, digest and convert the technology of these equipment into
Use it yourself, and based on our existing industrial capabilities, we strive to be able to imitate, that is, we can produce it ourselves, rather than relying too much on other countries in equipment and being controlled by other countries!”
This is obvious, and one of the most extreme examples is India.
Due to its weak basic industry, India cannot even produce rifles bullets completely.
It should be said that under such circumstances, we should steadily develop the economy and industry. Just like China, "hiding its strength and keeping its low profile" for decades, many problems will be solved when the industrial level and scale reach a certain level.
But India did not do this. Their mental state was a bit like some cadres in the conference room at that time. They were too anxious to achieve the highest level in one step or achieve modernization in a short time by purchasing advanced equipment from other countries.
But as there is a saying, "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The result of this is that the country's military equipment is too dependent on foreign countries. Whether it is the production of tanks or fighter jets, not only the foreign parts on the body, but also very
Helplessly faced an embarrassing situation where I was already behind before I was produced.
It can be said that if a country's military develops like this in this way, it can almost be said that it is only a grandson. Because once he fights a war, the owner of his equipment made in the world can stitch him on the relevant equipment.
By then, he would have to stick out his neck and let others slaughter. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
