The outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese War not only attracted the attention of the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples, but also attracted the attention of the whole world; in addition to clearly and intuitively understanding the weapons and equipment, tactical thinking, and popular morale of the two countries participating in the war, and then judging the comprehensive national strength of the participating countries, but also because this major war that took place against the background of the most intense confrontation in the Cold War is bound to have an extremely important impact on the trend of the entire world pattern.

Because of this, on the day of the outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese War, this result, which the world has long known, still swept the front pages of the world's major mainstream media, among which several well-known international political media and war correspondents threatened to participate in the whole process of the Sino-Vietnamese War, reporting the latest progress of the Sino-Vietnamese War without blind spots.

However, it didn't take long for careful readers to find that compared with the kind of continuous reports on the day of the outbreak of the Sino-Vietnamese War on February 17, the follow-up reports became less and less vigorous, so that only a few short sentences of information about where the squadron advanced could be found in the corners of the international pages of a very small number of newspapers, which was not very different from the in-depth reports propagated by some media before, but was very different.

Although this result is very disappointing for readers who care about the Sino-Vietnamese War, these well-known media with great powers on weekdays also have unspeakable helplessness in their hearts, and the ultimate reason for this is that China and Vietnam are relatively closed at this time, needless to say, Vietnam, since the United States withdrew from Vietnam in a gray manner.

As relations with the West have entered an ice age, it is not even a matter of thinking about sending war correspondents, and although China's relations with the West have eased, the degree of openness has not reached such a high level, so it has rejected journalists from other countries who have submitted war reports.

Media people all over the world know that the Sino-Vietnamese War is a treasure trove of news, and it is a good opportunity for some journalists to make a name for themselves, but China and Vietnam are like two two-person actors, no matter how they fight, outsiders don't even want to insert a finger into it, so in the face of the Sino-Vietnamese War that the wind cannot blow in, and the water cannot be penetrated, the helpless international media can only reprint and quote the reports of China and Vietnam, and occasionally they will refer to the news from the Soviet Union, but for various reasons, this kind of news was quickly completely ignored by the major editors-in-chief and thrown into the trash。

This kind of helplessness occurs not only in the world's major media, but also in the intelligence agencies of major powers, although they are stronger and richer than media people in terms of capabilities and resources, but the information obtained is not much more than that of media people, and the only convenient way is to inquire about the news from the relevant personnel of the Chinese side through the staff of the offices in China, but the answers they get seem to have been arranged in advance:

"No comment!"

Just when the whole world thought that this was a self-congratulatory war between China and Vietnam, on March 5, China's state media seemingly inadvertently released several photos of the battlefield, which instantly burst into a powerful vitality once again in the nerves of the major media and intelligence agencies.

Early in the morning of 6 March, when those Western residents who were accustomed to reading the morning newspaper stretched out their waists to pick up the day's newspaper exhibition to take a look, the headlines of the major mainstream media were full of articles such as "New Chinese Firearms," "Machine Guns -- New Firepower of Chinese Infantry," and "China's New Equipment Makes China More Confident."

Slightly affluent families turned on their televisions, and the news was full of such reports, and they even invited experts to hold the magnified photograph of a Type 78 assault rifle holding a grenade launcher with a mounted gun to support the fire support of a light automatic grenade launcher around them, and began to gush about the performance of several weapons in the photo.

Of course, these experts on TV are just talking in general terms to win the attention of the audience, and the really high-level experts will not leak into the spotlight at all, but in the major intelligence agencies, weapons research laboratories with magnifying glasses quietly observe the weapons and equipment that appear in those photos, and strive not to miss any detail.

In the end, it was concluded that China's new weapons and equipment are in the forefront of the world in terms of performance and firepower, and they are not inferior to any powerful country, not only that, but the squadron will use these advanced weapons and equipment to improve their infantry tactics, and the glorious tradition plus advanced weapons can imagine that the infantry offensive capability of the squadron will have a qualitative leap.

The conclusions reached by these intelligence agencies and weapons research laboratories were soon detected by the pervasive media, either intentionally or unintentionally, and then this authoritative conclusion once again stood on the headlines of the major media pages, only this time the media was less of the previous empty white report, and more of a dig into the secrets behind these weapons and equipment, but regardless of the angle they cut into, all the analysis finally came to a definite conclusion:

That is, the closed China does not lag behind the world in terms of military industry, but on the contrary, it ranks in the forefront of the world in some fields, and it is precisely under the influence of this conclusion that many foresightful media and observers of international issues even predict that China will rise in the world in the future and become an incomparable superpower!

It is precisely under the repeated bombardment of the major media that the people of Western countries have a preliminary understanding of China, and even have an intuitive understanding of China's weapons and equipment, and even in some countries where firearms are legal, many gun enthusiasts run to the gun store with pictures cut from newspapers, pointing to the Type 78 assault rifle on it and asking for one or two to try it back, and there are many similar situations, which makes many Western gunsmiths and arms dealers seem to smell a strong dollar atmosphere

At a time when the Chinese light weapons are still fermenting, the intelligence community has once again been shocked by the news about China's long-range artillery, which was secretly obtained from a reliable source in Moscow, and the provider is said to be an adviser to the Soviet military mission in Vietnam.

According to his claims, China is equipped with a new long-range artillery with ammunition projection distances of up to 38 kilometers, which has exceeded the maximum range of most of the world's active artillery, which makes various intelligence agencies and the military marvel that China has led the world in the field of long-range artillery!

Countries around the world are shocked by the weapons and equipment that China has displayed in the war against Vietnam, but this is not the case for all countries, the most stubborn of which is the Soviet Union, which has a deeper understanding of the Sino-Vietnamese front than the West because of its military advisory corps in Vietnam.

Although the Soviet Union expressed concern about China's progress in light weapons, it was only concerned, because in their opinion, even if these light weapons were advanced, in the face of the huge steel torrent, let alone waves, even a drop of water could not be flooded, because of this, when the Soviet military top brass got the battlefield photos published by China, they all felt that this was a bluff of the Chinese, and it was okay to use these to deceive the simple imperialist countries.

However, there are not no sober people in the Soviet Union, for example, Soviet Colonel Sokolovsky, who had just returned home from Vietnam, and as soon as he returned to China, he shouted that he should pay attention to the development of China's latest weapons and equipment and be vigilant against China's threat, but Sokolovsky was a small person and no one paid attention to him at all, and not only that, but he was secretly arrested on suspicion of betraying intelligence to the West shortly after he returned to China.

At this time, Sokolovsky sat expressionlessly in the interrogation room of the KGB headquarters, listening to the conclusion of the investigation read to him by a bloated KGB general opposite:

"Comrade Sokolovsky, the nature of your private contact with Western intelligence agents is very serious, and it stands to reason that you should be sentenced, but since the information you reported is false information from the Chinese side that you fabricated and did not harm the interests of the Soviets, the conclusion made by the National Security Council on you is paranoia after being stimulated by the war, so we will strip you of your military status and send you to a psychiatric hospital for compulsory treatment!"

"False information?" As soon as the general's voice fell, Sokolovsky, who was originally as cold as ice, suddenly turned red with anger, so much so that he roared uncontrollably:

"You people full of fat brains should really be dragged to the battlefield to see if it's false information!" Sokolovsky's roar made the general very disgusted, so he waved to the guards around him, and in an instant, four or five guards held Sokolovsky down and forcibly dragged him out of the door, but Sokolovsky refused to obey, and the roar became even louder:

"When the West obtains information on China's advanced weapons and equipment, it will certainly become wary of China, and in the near future you will realize how correct the Chinese intelligence I have given to the West."

Although Sokolovsky had great strength, he couldn't stand the pull of several KGB guards with big shoulders and round waists, and after a while, several people lifted him up, but when he approached the door, Sokolovsky did not forget to hiss again and shouted as hard as he could:

"China's weapons and equipment are advancing so rapidly, but you are turning a blind eye, and one day you will regret it" Sokolovsky stopped abruptly before he could finish his sentence, because the guards who could not bear the strong resistance completely smashed him with a fist

At the same time, a Boeing 747 passenger plane took off from Seattle in the United States and flew slowly towards China on the other side of the ocean
