What's more, given the old man's influence in the military world, as long as what Fan Hongyu said today can be accepted by the old man and he steps forward to promote it, maybe the climax of military modernization reform will come early.
Fan Hongyu vaguely remembered that in another world, the real cause of China's major military reform came from the Gulf War. In that war, the United States used many unknown high-tech weapons to fight what is known as the world's fourth military
Iraq, a powerful country, has no power to fight back. It also awakened the giants at the top of the Republic to realize the huge gap between our military modernization and the world's most advanced countries.
If history is not changed, the Gulf War will break out in a few years.
Starting the military reform a few years in advance will undoubtedly have a huge and far-reaching impact on the country's military. Modern high-tech competition is originally about day and night, not ten thousand years.
"Hongyu, you seem to have high regard for the U.S. Army?"
Mr. Bao said calmly, unable to tell what the old man was thinking.
Fan Hongyu was slightly startled and hurriedly leaned over and said: "Grandpa Bao, I am not admiring the U.S. Army. No matter how advanced the U.S. technology is, the main factor that determines war is people. It's not like we have never fought against the Americans.
, Grandpa Bao once defeated the American devils on the battlefield in neighboring countries. It can be seen that high-tech weapons are not the only winning factor."
It's not that Fan Hongyu is acting according to the prevailing situation. The key point is that what he said today is mainly to make the old man listen, hoping that it will be helpful to the modernization of national defense. If it arouses the old man's dissatisfaction or even disgust, it will be counterproductive.
.
The old man nodded slightly and his expression softened.
Bao Pingan said: "But we should not underestimate the power of high-tech weapons. Mr. Peng also said back then that Americans have more steel and less air, while we have less steel and more air. If we also have more steel and more air, then the United States*
The * team was even more unable to withstand it. The price we paid in that war was too heavy. Improving the technological content of weapons and increasing their lethality is not only to win the war. It is also to better protect our own soldiers.
Reduce casualties. The modernization of weapons and equipment must not be neglected."
Seeing that Bao Ping'an agreed with his opinion, Fan Hongyu was secretly happy in his heart, but naturally he didn't show it on his face. He was too charming. He would have fallen behind.
Mr. Bao nodded slightly again, sighed softly, and said: "Back then, we fought very hard. Many comrades were killed by planes without even seeing the faces of the American devils. If at that time, we would have
With a strong air force, that battle won’t have to last that long. It will never end in a draw.”
As he spoke, there was a look of regret on his face.
Mr. Bao was not the only one who left regrets in that war.
Mr. Bao immediately turned to Bao Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, what Hongyu said still makes sense. You can study it carefully and make a report."
"yes!"
Even though he was at home, Bao Ping'an couldn't help but straighten his chest and promise loudly.
Fan Hongyu was very happy.
Originally, he just hoped that Bao Xing could sort out these ideas as a discussion. Now Mr. Bao has asked Bao Ping'an to personally go out and make a special report. The effect is much more obvious.
Bao Ping'an said to Fan Hongyu again: "Hongyu, in addition to the informatization and digital construction of the army, tell me what other ideas you have. Haha, I didn't expect that you are young and are not a soldier, but you also have a lot of ideas about the construction of the army.
Such in-depth insights are very good.”
As he spoke, he nodded encouragingly.
Fan Hongyu quickly bowed and said a few words of modesty.
After all, he is not a professional soldier. He relies on more than twenty years of foresight and an understanding of future trends. In terms of military literacy, how can he be compared with a general like Bao Ping'an?
These modest words are not pretentious, but come from the heart.
"Grandpa Bao, Uncle Bao, and other technical details, I won't talk about it here. I think that in the next few decades, the expansion of strategic space will be a matter of life and death. In fact, this is no longer purely a military category.
It’s related to the country’s overall strategy.”
Fan Hongyu just made a few modest remarks, and then became more "high-profile" and directly talked about the overall national strategy.
“Strategic Space Expansion?”
Bao Pingan raised his eyebrows again.
Today, Fan Hongyu really surprised him a lot. It wasn't that Bao Ping'an couldn't understand what he meant. The main reason was that it was difficult for him to talk about national strategic issues and the twenty-year-old junior in front of him.
Get in touch.
"Yes, Uncle Bao. From a purely military analysis, our geostrategic space is not optimistic. Among the neighboring countries around us and those across the sea, those who can truly be called friends are
There are only two of them. The others have either fought with us or have historical grievances with us. Anyway, they cannot be called friendly. In addition to the game between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union are very wary of our country. To put it more seriously,
, we have been surrounded. We are surrounded by potential enemies who are watching eagerly. Now our economic reform has just started, our comprehensive national strength is not strong, and the superpowers and other powerful countries are not very wary of us. However, as the pace of reform and opening up gradually accelerates,
With the rapid development of the country's economy and the increasing comprehensive national strength, the Western powers' vigilance against us will immediately escalate. Strictly speaking, the more integrated we are with the world economy, the greater the possibility of economic aggression. From now on, we will
We should be prepared for this. Western capitalist countries, especially the United States, often combine capital wars with actual wars. When we liberalize the market, their capital will penetrate through various channels and find ways to
Control our strategic industries and economic lifeline, weaken us from within, and transfer the wealth we create to their countries. Just like Japan now, it always works diligently and conscientiously to create wealth for Americans."
Bao Ping'an frowned, obviously thinking seriously about what Fan Hongyu said. After a while, he waved his hand gently and said: "Let's talk about economic matters later. You talk about military issues first."
"Okay. I think that for the development of the military industry, we must find ways to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with military powers. At present, in this regard, our platform is very limited."
"In your opinion, what should it be?"
"Strengthen cooperation with the Soviet Union!"
Fan Hongyu said without hesitation.
"The Americans have always been deeply wary of us, and their ideology and national interests do not allow them to have in-depth military exchanges and cooperation with us."
"The Soviet Union is also deeply wary of us."
Bao Xing interjected.
He listened extremely carefully to this conversation, missing almost every word, and his understanding of Fan Hongyu was once again raised to a higher level.
"That's true, but the situations of the Soviet Union and the United States are different. The Soviet Union has internal and external troubles and faces far more difficulties than the United States. Their comprehensive national strength is also far inferior to that of the United States. Over the years, they have simply followed the path of becoming a military power.
It has almost brought their economy to collapse. Moreover, due to institutional reasons, the corruption phenomenon in the Soviet Union is extremely serious. It can be said that the current Soviet Union is an empty frame. It looks very glamorous on the outside, but it is rotten on the inside.
They need economic support more than we do. As long as the conditions are right, they will not mind transferring some weapons with higher technological content to us. Although these weapons may not be the most sophisticated weapons installed by the Soviet Red Army, they are relatively
The words are enough for us to digest and absorb for a while. This is a shortcut to quickly improve the capabilities of the defense industry."
Bao Ping'an smiled slightly and said: "This is a bit new. Do you mean that we provide economic support to the Soviet Union in exchange for their military support to us?"
"right!"
Fan Hongyu nodded immediately.
Mr. Bao coughed slightly and said: "Hongyu, our country is not rich now. Back then, we had to live a hard life for several years in order to pay off our debts."
The old man's thinking is still stuck in the past era. It's no wonder, after all, the old man has left his front-line position and lives in seclusion, and is more or less out of touch with modern society. In the old man's view, Fan Hongyu is really a weird theory, a "
"Poor people" actually want to give money to "creditors" in exchange for weapons?
Fan Hongyu smiled and said: "Grandpa Bao, there are actually many types of economic assistance. The Soviet Union has always been highly vigilant against the capital aggression of the United States and Western countries. But it is not necessarily certain about equal cooperation with our country.
They will block it. Because, in their view, our economic construction has just started and there is no direct threat to them. Strengthening economic cooperation and gradually penetrating capital are effective methods for the United States and other Western developed countries, and we can definitely learn from them.
It is also very important to establish friendly personal relationships with some of their current main leaders. I think there is a person who deserves our attention. Maybe in the near future, this person will ascend to a higher political stage."
"who?"
"Leonid!"
"He? Probably not..."
Bao Ping'an frowned, a little disapproving.
The Leonid that Fan Hongyu is talking about is currently a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Secretary of the Capital City Committee. This person is a famous "cannon" among the top leaders of the Soviet Communist Party. He is known for his tough style and his courage to speak and act. Although he has received
The current number one figure in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union has been promoted and re-employed, but many big figures in our country are not optimistic about his future.
In fact, this person's character and style of conduct are incompatible with the conventions of officialdom. Among the senior officials of the old and decadent northern neighboring countries, this person is a complete alien. How can such a person go further in politics? I'm afraid he will use
It won't be long before he will be kicked out.
ps: The sixth update is here, not to ask for votes, but to fulfill the promise. 400 votes have been received, and it is time to add a fourth chapter. The double 7 days are about to pass, and it is estimated that everyone has voted, and the pie will no longer be "
"Squeezed", haha...
In addition, tomorrow's update will be in the morning, and there will be no updates in the early morning. Please inform everyone. I wish you all a good dream! (To be continued...)!~!
