Chapter 1116 The United States has many advanced weapons
Sun Desheng and Liu Lang are old acquaintances.
"Liu Lang, your predictions are so accurate. The Americans really fought this war according to your ideas. I even think it was you who directed this war!"
"Mr. Sun, if there is no modern equipment, it will be useless for anyone to command. But with modern equipment, it will be the same for anyone to command."
Liu Lang replied.
"I don't think so. If the equipment of both sides is similar, it will depend on the deployment of the commander and the will of the combatants. The human factor is always important."
A general next to Sun Desheng said, his voice was majestic and his momentum was no less than that of Sun Desheng.
"Old Yan, the most critical issue for us now is the equipment issue. As for the human issue, we will deal with it later. If the equipment is not improved, nothing will be of use."
Sun Desheng said from the side.
"The equipment must be improved, and the quality of the people must not be left behind. It must be a two-pronged approach!"
Let the other person explain.
At this time, another person spoke.
"Well, a two-pronged approach is right, but the higher-ups seem to want large-scale disarmament. It seems that we guys will have something to do in the next few years."
Liu Lang was talking to several people on the sidelines and got a lot of information from their conversations.
The first Gulf War did have a huge impact on the country's military. It can be said that it completely changed the idea of building an army, not only in terms of equipment, but also in terms of personnel adjustments.
There are more than three million soldiers in the country now, and more than two million of them are in the army. Everyone thinks that the army is the one that fights wars. It depends on who has more tanks and whose artillery is more powerful. The equipment is almost the same, and they just play tactics, such as dividing and encircling, encircling and encircling points for reinforcements. , destroy the opponent's vitality during sports, etc.
The U.S. Army is not like this. A burst of precision missiles from aircraft, warships, and missiles can really hit wherever they are. Even the tanks cannot escape. As for the Army, it seems that what they do is the final job of cleaning up the battlefield. So why should we still use them? Farmers can do this too. .
Now it seems that the Air Force and Navy are the ones that need to make full efforts to improve, and it is a high-quality improvement, not just adding more personnel.
A consensus has been reached on this point in a short period of time, so the next thing to do is disarmament.
In fact, the country already had the largest disarmament in the history of New China six years ago, with a total reduction of one million people. I am afraid it will have to be reduced even more this time.
The purpose of disarmament is to adopt a policy of elite troops, which is only the first step. The next step is to improve the quality of equipment and personnel.
Bai Weiren kept apologizing to everyone when he walked in from outside.
"Veteran generals and experts, I'm really sorry. I was delayed by something just now. I made everyone wait for me for ten minutes. I'm sorry!"
Sun Desheng waved his hand aside.
"Wei Ren, everyone knows that you have a lot of things to do. We should be the ones to host this meeting. However, you are too proud. These scientists and Liu Lang all know you, so I can only trouble you to host it."
"Mr. Sun, you are a heretic when you say this. The army is the foundation of the country. Without you, the country cannot develop its economy with peace of mind. All our departments will do their best to support the development of the army, and we must build a modern army in accordance with the instructions. !”
Bai Weiren is no longer just saying polite words. Although he is not a soldier, all high-level cadres felt chills on their backs after seeing the war in the United States. The military is the most important protector of a country. Throughout history, the military is not strong enough. The country will definitely not end well.
Now that the country has begun to reform and open up, everything is centered on economic development. There is a premise for this, that is, the country must have a long enough period of stability and no major wars will occur. But the absence of wars does not mean that it will not develop its military and have a
Only a strong army can develop other aspects safely and steadily.
Now it seems that the definition of a strong army has completely changed. It no longer depends on who has more people, who has more tanks, or who has more artillery, but who has higher technological content.
Improving the scientific and technological content of the military cannot be achieved by the military alone. It requires support from all industries, especially national scientific research institutions.
Bai Weiren didn't say those polite words and just started a meeting when he came in.
"Everyone has some information before you. We obtained it through secret channels. It is some data about the war between the United States and Iraq. Liu Lang, what do you think after reading it?"
Bai Wei named Liu Lang.
Liu Lang took a look just now and found that there were indeed some details of the war in the material, nothing more than precision-guided weapons, early warning aircraft interference, etc. He knew much more than these, but he couldn't say these words.
"Any thoughts? I don't have any thoughts about the industry, because I have experienced American technology, and it is normal for them to have these technologies."
This sentence left everyone speechless. He was really right.
"Haha, okay, then tell me, what weapons does the United States have yet to show?"
The old man next to Sun Desheng smiled and asked, his name is Yan Xuedong, a big boss in the army.
"Well, the Americans' current guided weapons are laser-guided. Special forces must first be sent to illuminate the target with laser, and then the signal will be transmitted to the command post, and the missile will follow the signal to strike. Therefore, this kind of laser guidance also needs assistance.
In addition, the accuracy is also a bit worse, generally there is an error of about fifty meters.
Now the Americans have begun to study satellite guidance and detect targets through satellites. This eliminates the need for humans and can detect targets at any location. The accuracy will also be greatly improved, and the general error is only about ten meters."
After Liu Lang finished speaking, he took a sip of water. The others listened so quietly. Several scientists found it a bit incredible, but Liu Lang continued.
"The other is the early warning aircraft. The American early warning aircraft is very powerful. It is equivalent to a walking radar. It can search for enemy targets without blind spots. Once the target is found, it will immediately infect the enemy and send signals to friendly forces. At this time, the enemy and us on the scene are completely one-sided.
In this situation, the enemy has become blind. We can see the opponent through the signal of the early warning aircraft, and we can attack remotely as long as we press the button. One early warning aircraft can assist up to six or seven of our aircraft in launching attacks."
This was so awesome that several generals quickly memorized it.
"The other thing is the American stealth aircraft. When I was studying at Stanford University, I once heard my mentor, Professor Claire, talk about some companies that have developed a new type of material. This material can absorb radar waves when applied to aircraft.
This kind of aircraft can be almost completely hidden when disembarking, completely ignoring radar search.
In fact, in 1982, the first-generation stealth attack aircraft F-117 in the United States was officially put into use. We also saw it in the Gulf War just past. This kind of aircraft was developed in the 1970s. It has been more than ten years.
Now, the latest generation of stealth aircraft is being developed. It is likely to be a strategic bomber that can carry strategic nuclear weapons to bomb any place in the world. Current radars cannot detect it at all."
Both early warning aircraft and stealth aircraft appeared for the first time in this Gulf War. China only knew about them on TV, and obtained some through secret channels, but only a few words. Liu Lang was very familiar with the "high technology" of this era.
We know so much about weapons that after more than 20 years, various parameters of stealth aircraft like the F-117 have appeared on the Internet, and many unofficial secrets are "all over the street".
Even Liu Lang knew that the United States has developed the B-2 stealth bomber. This aircraft is the best strategic weapon for the Americans. The cost of one aircraft is as high as more than 2 billion US dollars. In its previous life in 1993, it was two years old.
