Chapter 1043 Holding Our Own "Red Flag Military Exercise"

The old man pondered for a while, then looked up at the crowd and said, "Funding is indeed a big problem, and at present, the main task in our country is to engage in the economy, and all other aspects must be put in the back row. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info so it is impossible for you to allocate too much funds, but it can still help you get some of it, which I am still confident in this old man. But this alone will not work, you have to figure it out for yourselves. As you just said, the Air Force is huge, its models are backward, and the quality of its personnel is relatively poor. I think you should make up your mind or make up your mind, and it's better to make up your mind as soon as possible than to let it go on like this. If a tree is too luxuriant, it is better to cut off the worthless branches and leave the main branches, so that the tree can thrive. Squeeze your funds further, and first of all, ensure that these new fighters are trained to combat effectiveness, which is much more useful than the old fighters you have. Again, this is also a typical, it can also be said to be an experiment, and after everyone sees and recognizes this achievement, then the investment given to you will naturally increase. ”

Vice Minister Zhao nodded and said, "I wrote it down, and I will definitely convey it to the executive meeting when I go back." ”

Well, the old man nodded and then turned to Jiang Chen and said, "You go on." ”

Oh, Jiang Chen thought for a moment and then continued: "What the chief just said makes sense, the more concentrated the power, the more powerful it will be. Instead of blooming everywhere, it is better to stand alone first, let the flowers bloom, and then consider the spring color of the garden. I have no prejudice against our Air Force, but what I want to say is that the current level of training of our fighters and the Air Force is basically vulnerable compared with the advanced fighters that are more than a generation ahead of us and the well-trained pilots. Maybe if I say this, I will offend many people and make many people unconvinced. But the fighter planes will arrive in the country soon, and then you can organize a special confrontation exercise and see what the results are. ”

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the old man waved his hand and said, "Don't offend people, just say whatever you want, we lack these righteous and upright people." We used to hear too many 'pretty' words, but in the end it was all for naught. The bitter medicine is good for the disease, and I think the Air Force still has to take your bitter medicine, and it must be insisted on, so that it is conducive to curing the disease and saving people. ”

"Yes, the chief said. Vice Minister Zhao nodded and said to Jiang Chen: "Xiao Jiang, say whatever you want, we are all our own people, what are you afraid of." What we want is to speak up, so that we can expand our horizons and increase our knowledge, because we have been frogs watching the sky at the bottom of the well for too long in the past. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back to the rivers and lakes and open the wild recipe. Jiang Chen replied with a smile, and then said to Vice Minister Zhao: "First of all, I think the reform of the Air Force has reached the point of urgency, and the poor combat effectiveness of the Air Force is related to the objective financial reasons and backward aircraft types, and I think it is also related to the concept that the Air Force has long held whether it is training or combat. ”

Everyone was immediately attracted by Jiang Chen's words, and Vice Minister Zhao not only motioned for the staff to take notes, but he also took out a notebook and began to write. Seeing this, Jiang Chen smiled slightly and continued: "Our army's long-term strategic approach has been to defend, holding the theory of great depth and the theory of the Continental Army, and paying too much attention to the role of the army, while ignoring the construction and application of other arms. Of course, this is also related to our national and military conditions. Who made us poor ourselves, so we can only use our limited military spending to what is beneficial to us. As for the air force and navy, which are technical arms, because of the huge cost and relatively high technical requirements, although we have always stressed strengthening construction, we are also in a situation where we are powerless. ”

Seeing that everyone nodded in approval, Jiang Chen continued: "Of course, in addition, this is also related to the actual situation of our army. Our senior officers all came out of the army, and even the head of the air force and navy was transferred from the army halfway. Although it is said that they have studied hard, after all, they did not grow up as pilots or commanders at the grassroots level, and the depth of understanding is still somewhat insufficient. As a result, there are some deficiencies in the arrangement of strategic and tactical principles, or they are not close to the actual situation of the troops. For a long time, the army has been the mainstay, and the idea of large-scale ground warfare has also dominated these commanders, so the strategic policy that you have been adhering to over the years is to cooperate with the army or navy. The Air Force does not yet have its own independent operational command system, and it plays a role of auxiliary support on the battlefield. ”

Although Vice Minister Zhao's face began to look a little ugly, he still nodded in approval: "You are right, we have indeed had problems in this area for a long time. This has to do with ourselves, and of course, it has something to do with the strategic policy of the whole army. ”

Well, Jiang Chen nodded and continued: "That's right, this is the main reason that affects and restricts the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Air Force. Therefore, I believe that the Air Force still needs to form its own set of independent combat systems, which of course includes air-ground or land-air joint operations, but more consideration should be given to the Air Force independently undertaking combat missions. In other countries, the status of the air force is the same as that of other services, and there is not a certain gap like ours. To use an analogy, although they are all brothers, but the eldest brother is the eldest brother after all, he can't rely on him after all, he can't help his brother much, and the road of life still has to be walked by himself. ”

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Jiang Chen looked at Vice Minister Zhao and continued: "This second is that you are currently a little deficient in training, or your thinking has not changed. For example, this equipment is more important than people, safety is greater than the sky, who will bear the responsibility? Everyone usually thinks about this, how can we still have time to think about how to train and how to fight, and we can improve our combat effectiveness. As early as a few years ago, I proposed [back-to-back exercises and training methods that are close to actual combat without a plan]. The Army quickly embraced and subsequently organized a series of such exercises and training programs, all of which achieved good results. The most recent one was a free confrontation exercise between us and the major special operations groups, and everyone performed very well. As an aside, your 'Blue Sword' special operations group was the worst performing of all the special operations groups participating in the exercise. The reasons for this are more or less known to you, and you have also seen the summary of the relevant reports we wrote, so I will not talk about these. ”

Ahem, Vice Minister Zhao's face was almost black after listening to Jiang Chen's words, and he sat there not knowing what to say, but kept writing something in his notebook. Instead, the old man coughed twice and said, "Don't just talk about your condition, talk about your prescription quickly." ”

Hearing the old man's words, everyone once again focused their eyes on Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen smiled when he heard this, and then whispered to everyone: "It's very simple, my recipe is to learn from foreign armies and organize our own 'Red Flag Military Exercise'!"
