Chapter 548 Establishment of a Naval and Air Equipment Research Group
"The experience gained from the naval battle of Anglo-Argentine Island still verifies the truth of 'gaining air supremacy and winning the victory', so the air force is still the key to winning naval battles in the future!"
North ~~~ Beijing, in the conference room on the third floor of the Jingxi Hotel, the windows around are tightly covered by heavy curtains, and the room is even darker, making the bright light projected by the slide player in the center on the screen appear particularly eye-catching, so as to further attract the attention of the high-level and military leaders who participated in the "Anglo-Argentine Naval Battle Seminar", and this also makes the naval commander Jiang Huichuan, who is explaining on the stage, more calm:
"But it should also be noted that since World War II, with the development of the level of science and technology, the way of naval warfare dominated by aviation has also undergone great changes, especially the emergence of long-range guided weapons, which has further increased the strike distance outside the visual range, and the strike accuracy has also been doubled;
The corresponding countermeasures, such as air defense suppression, anti-missile interception, and electronic countermeasures, are also constantly being strengthened, so we have come to the conclusion that if we want to gain sea supremacy in future naval wars, we must first obtain air supremacy, and at the same time obtain air supremacy, we must also obtain electromagnetic supremacy.
In this way, naval warfare will break through the existing three-dimensional structure of air, water, and underwater, and become a multi-dimensional, all-round system confrontation situation; based on the experience summed up above, on the other hand, our army's existing naval equipment system, to put it mildly, is far behind the entire era! It is precisely because of this that we still have a long way to go in this regard!
"I admit that our level of equipment lags behind that of developed countries. But it's not as serious as you say, is it?"
"That's right, equipment is one thing, and the morale and faith of the troops cannot be ignored. If the Argentine officers and men defending the island could fight a little harder, they would not have lost so completely!"
"Yes, the bloodiness of the troops is the most important, we were in the Red Army, the equipment was not as good as the enemy, during the War of Resistance against Japan, the guy in his hand had a border area to build the equipment. When the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are concerned, the gap will be even greater, but what will happen in the end? Let's not still add a millet and a rifle and beat the enemy to the point where we run away with our tails between our legs!"
"So let me see. We must not fall into the quagmire of weaponism, of course, we still have to work on the necessary things, but the most important thing is the spirit of the troops and the fine traditions of several decades. Not only can it not be wasted. And it has to be strengthened!"
Navy Commander Jiang Huichuan's remarks were like a hornet's nest, and they aroused a lot of discussion among the high-level leaders and military leaders present, and some of them criticized, some of them spoke fiercely, some of them comforted each other, and some of them criticized Sang and scolded Huai, but they did not care what their attitude was. Almost all the participants agreed with Jiang Huichuan's viewpoint.
However, Jiang Huichuan, who was standing on the stage, did not panic. After all, he had expected these opposing voices, and this was the same as what he heard Lu Jiadong say a few days ago, he was shocked, surprised, and couldn't believe that if he was not a top student studying at the Voroshilov Naval Academy in the Soviet Union, if he hadn't always kept track of the latest trends in the development of the navies of various countries in recent years, if he hadn't held the post of naval commander,
He Jiang Huichuan may be like everyone present, even if he puts the reality in front of him, he will not take a serious look at it, just like Guo Qingshan, director of the Armament Department of the General Staff Department, although he also listened carefully to Lu Jiadong's account and also agreed with the views in it, but in the end he still taught Lu Jiadong not to be too weapon-oriented.
Jiang Huichuan naturally cannot oppose such a viewpoint; in any case, this is a correct conclusion summed up through historical experience; deep down, Jiang Huichuan does not fully agree with it, because after all, the gap in equipment in some aspects cannot be made up by human will and spirit.
In particular, in units with relatively high technological content, such as the navy and the air force, a small technological gap can often form an overwhelming superiority on the battlefield and thus have a decisive impact on the war situation.
In addition, the experience gained from the wars before the founding of the People's Republic of China and the "people's war" defense policy pursued after the founding of the People's Republic of China have made certain erroneous ideas on equipment development more deeply rooted, and Jiang Huichuan cannot suddenly reverse this kind of thinking that has affected several generations, but he can use his own practical actions to promote the popularization of new ideas, just as Lu Jiadong said that day:
"No matter how lush the towering tree is, it grows from a single seed!"
Since it was impossible to build a big tree, he worked hard to cultivate new seeds, and Jiang Huichuan, who had made up his mind, began to carry out targeted education and training activities in the navy under his leadership, and at the same time, in order to win the support of the top management, Jiang Huichuan, in the name of the commander of the navy, submitted several reports to the top management on new military changes and the development of naval equipment.
Jiang Huichuan's report and suggestions have set off tremendous controversy at the top level and within the military, and many veteran leaders who have come over during the war years have bluntly said that Jiang Huichuan is too childish and that he has gone too far, and some people have even directly suggested that Jiang Huichuan be transferred from the post of commander of the navy.
However, the final development made everyone scratch their heads, and most of the reports submitted by Jiang Huichuan were rejected except for a few that were adopted, and Jiang Huichuan himself was not transferred from the post of commander of the navy, as most people thought, and Jiang Huichuan was instructed by the top level to hold a high-level internal special meeting in the name of "summing up the experience of the Falklands naval battle."
This series of abnormal actions by the top level has made many people a little confused, but no matter what, one thing is certain, that is, the top level is also very hesitant in terms of new military reform, otherwise it would not have made such an ambiguous decision, but this is a rare victory for Jiang Huichuan, because he knows that a germinating seed has been planted in the heart of the top level
"Okay, today's meeting, let's get here first!"
At the end of the discussion, the curtains were opened, and the autumn sun illuminated the conference room in an instant, and the old chief sitting in the front row adjusted to his eyes, and then said a word to the venue. Immediately, the people in the venue walked out of the conference room in twos and threes, and Jiang Huichuan also stepped down from the podium and began to sort out the slides on the player. He was about to pack up and leave, but at this moment, the old chief's kind and kind voice came into his ears:
"Xiao Jiang, you can leave later!"
"Yes, old chief!"
Jiang Huichuan was not hypocritical, and sat down opposite the old chief in a dignified manner, and the old chief nodded with satisfaction. Then he spoke:
"I've read a few of the reports you've submitted, and they're very pertinent, but I'd like to hear your opinion in person. What's wrong with our navy?"
"Air defense, anti-submarine, electronic countermeasures, and overall combat systems, it should be said that the naval combat structure we built earlier with 'air, submarine, and fast' no longer meets the needs of today's war, although we are a vast land power. But it is also a maritime power with tens of thousands of miles of coastline. Especially in the preparation for military struggle in the T area, as well as in the direction of the South China Sea, the importance of the Navy is self-evident.
However, at present, our military strategy still follows the operational theory that the navy is subordinate to the army, and this has seriously constrained the development of the navy, so I believe that the navy's strategy urgently needs to be changed from the current coastal defense type to the coastal defense nature. The defensive circle will be further expanded, so as to achieve the strategic goal of keeping the enemy out of the country!"
"This is indeed our dream goal!"
There was not the slightest expression on the old chief's face. just said something lightly, but then his gaze froze, and his tone became much heavier:
"It's just that in this way, it is necessary not only to increase investment in the navy, but also to increase investment in the entire military expenditure, which invisibly increases the burden on the country, I think you also know what the core of the country is now!"
"This"
With economic construction as the center, the army must be patient, and Jiang Huichuan, as the commander of the navy, naturally knows this, but he does not know what the old chief specifically means by saying this to him, is it a warning, is it to stop it? Jiang Huichuan, who has no way of knowing, naturally cannot give a decent explanation, and the old chief sitting opposite him does not seem to be ready to let him explain anything, so he paused and then continued:
"Therefore, the ideas of developing aircraft carriers, high-performance nuclear submarines, developing advanced missile attack aircraft, and building a multi-dimensional strike system described in your report still do not correspond to the actual situation and basic national conditions at present! I know that you Xiao Jiang are not the kind of person who has no brains, and you should not make such low-level mistakes.
"Old chief, this" Jiang Huichuan was stunned for a moment, and then like a child who had been seen through his mind, he smiled awkwardly at the old chief and said:
"I still haven't hidden your old eyes, yes, we don't have the ability to manufacture these equipment at this stage, but it doesn't mean that we won't have the ability in the future, so I think it's not to set up a sea and air equipment research group, in the name of discipline development, to carry out the corresponding pre-research and technical reserve work, while mastering the relevant technology, but also to train a technical team, just like Lu Jiadong did in Argentina, no matter what, we have to take precautions, once the conditions are ripe, we can blossom and bear fruit!"
"I know that your kid has the most ghost ideas, and if you make such a big move, you need such a research group, well, it seems that the roundabout attack in Taihang Mountain back then was not in vain!"
As he spoke, the old chief stood up and walked slowly towards the door, and when he was about to walk out of the conference room, he turned his head again and said meaningfully to Jiang Huichuan:
"Tell Lu Jiadong, let him work with peace of mind, the organization will not forget him, of course, you too" After speaking, he walked out, but at the moment of going out, Jiang Huichuan vaguely heard a muttering that was not very clear but very gratifying:
"With such a young generation, it is time for us to retire with peace of mind" (To be continued.) )
