Chapter 840: The Sandstorm Rises
Jiang Huichuan's smile didn't last long, and it was replaced by a touch of melancholy, Jiang Huichuan has always attached great importance to Lu Jiadong, and he has wanted to transfer him into the military system more than once, because he knows that in terms of understanding and applying modern warfare, the three talented young Zhuang officers in front of him together are not as good as Lu Jiadong.

What's more, Lu Weijun and others' modern strategic and tactical thinking has been more or less influenced by Lu Jiadong, perhaps in front of people, he, the leader who presides over the work of the military~~ committee, will be named the father of China's military modernization, and the few people in front of him will also be given the nickname of high-tech war theorists, but Jiang Huichuan knows that the only person who can really afford this reputation and nickname is the young man who wears a smile all day long.
Because of this, Jiang Huichuan just took over the work of the Army~~ Committee, and began to transfer Lu Jiadong to the General Staff Operations Bureau, but he didn't expect his kindness to be rejected by Lu Jiadong without hesitation, as for the reason, it is simply laughable:
"I'm just an ordinary technician, and I'm really not good at war!"
Hearing this, Jiang Huichuan almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, okay, if you are not good, can you make the positioning of Vietnam's artillery so accurate? If you are not good, you can make precision-guided weapons play a decisive role? If you are not good, can you defeat the Soviet Navy and Air Force in the South China Sea?
I've seen people who find reasons, but I've never seen people who are so good at finding reasons, if the officers who lead the troops hear it, they will not have to find a piece of tofu to kill them, but Jiang Huichuan also understands that Lu Jiadong's ambition is indeed not to lead the troops to fight, otherwise he would not have refused the olive branch of the chief commander and the old chief back then, not to mention that Lu Jiadong's role in the development of armaments is even greater, and because of this, Jiang Huichuan did not insist anymore.
However, that deep regret has always haunted my heart, especially after receiving Lu Jiadong's handwritten letter two days ago, this regret has become even stronger, in that letter, Lu Jiadong not only analyzed the current situation in the Gulf, but also listed the strategies and tactics that the hostile sides may apply.
The most important thing is the end of the letter, accurately predicting the contemptuous attitude of some domestic generals, and proposing a series of persuasive solutions, although the letter as a whole is similar to the report put forward by Lu Weijun and others, but in terms of depth, breadth and operability, it is a step higher than it, thinking of the letter, and then looking at the three people in front of him, Jiang Huichuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"How good it would be for Lu Jiadong to be a soldier too!"
"Chief, chief?"
Just when Jiang Huichuan was stunned, an urgent call pulled him back from his thoughts, and he raised his eyes to stare at the concerned expressions of Lu Weijun and others, and immediately waved his hand:
"I'm fine, I'm fine!"
As he spoke, he picked up the report again and tapped it with his hand: "Although this report has some basis, there are too many speculative elements in it, and many conclusions lack practical examples to support it, you must know that war is the most practical thing, and it is difficult to draw conclusions before everything is settled, so although your report is novel, it is difficult to convince the public!"
As soon as Jiang Huichuan finished speaking, Zhou Rui and Xu Yuanchao's faces were covered with a layer of loss and gloom, since even Jiang Huichuan, who has always supported modernization and innovation, said so, then this report is equivalent to being sentenced to death, in the face of such a result, even if the two are unwilling, they are helpless.
Lu Weijun was also a little disappointed in his heart, but unlike the stubborn and anxious two people around him, Lu Weijun has always been known for his steady and cautious thinking, coupled with his clever and wise mind, so that he can be proficient in both leading troops and government affairs, otherwise he would not have been promoted to major general before the age of 40 and became a leader in promoting the modernization and reform of the army.
"Chief, can I understand that you are trying to make a decision before you act?"
Listening to Lu Weijun's words, Zhou Rui and Xu Yuanchao were stunned for a moment, and even if they reacted, they were not general, otherwise they would not be able to carry the rank of colonel, but because they were a little preconceived, they were a little bit by Lu Weijun, and they could see through the fog;
The reform of the modernization of the armed forces is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to do, and the many relationships, opposing opinions, and different opinions involved in it are simply as vast as a sea of stars, and it is precisely because of this that although there has been considerable progress in the modernization of the armed forces in recent years, the progress has not been significant on the whole, and this is still the result of Jiang Huichuan's support behind the scenes; if there is no such thing, the so-called modernization is very likely to be stillborn.
Therefore, as the core pillar of promoting the modernization of the armed forces, Lu Weijun and others have an extremely strong sense of urgency, and they very much hope to achieve remarkable results during Jiang Huichuan's term of office, and at the very least, lay a solid foundation for the future, so several people took advantage of the Gulf crisis to put forward a package of reform plans, hoping to follow up on the performance of the United States and Iran at the critical moment to impress those who turn a blind eye.
Lu Weijun and others are in a hurry, why isn't Jiang Huichuan like this? But he is in a hurry, he can't pat his thigh and let his preferences settle things, he is presiding over the work of the military ~~ committee, but it does not mean that he can make him say anything, so he needs an opportunity, an opportunity that can shock the stubborn veterans more than the Sino-Soviet conflict in the South China Sea, and this opportunity is the Gulf War that is about to break out, so he nodded at Lu Weijun, and his eyes were filled with relief:
"That's true, since the United States and Iran want to play a big drama in the Middle East, let's take a good look at it, whether this drama is exciting enough, so I want to send a few of you to the Middle East as observers to observe the whole process of this war up close..........
The scorching sun unscrupulously eroded the boundless yellow sand, scorching the sand and gravel to such a hot and unusually hot that even the fearless scorpions had to jump and run to avoid the tiny soles of their feet being burned by the hot yellow sand, and suddenly a strong wind whistled.
In an instant, the sand filled the sky, and in a short time, the scorching sun the size of a millstone was covered tightly, and the strong wind came in an instant, carrying the sand and dust like a giant beast that had just come out of the cage and swooped down on dozens of strangely shaped trucks in front of it.
The covered canvas was blown to the point of whirring, and the grit crackled against the windshield like a firecracker, like hell, and there was a shuddering roar everywhere..........
"Pay attention to all positions, with the help of wind and sand cover, immediately transfer positions!"
Just when the intensity of the sandstorm reached its maximum, Colonel Mohammed, who was sitting in the command car, grabbed the command intercom without hesitation, and issued a transfer order to dozens of combat vehicles around..........
"Keep the speed steady, and the whole battalion will go into radio silence in two minutes!"
Under his command, the convoy marched in an orderly manner under the cover of the wind and sand, unhurriedly and just with the wind and sand, so just the right speed, Muhammad did not know how long he had been practicing in the past few months, thinking of the Chinese young man with an Arab turban, and facing their extremely harsh teachings, Muhammad could not help but be a little afraid, but more deeply grateful.
"Sir, I really don't understand, what is the use of this kind of evasive maneuver with the help of wind and sand, we are a ground-to-air missile battalion, not an equipment transport battalion, if the Yankees' plane comes, put up missiles and hit them directly, why do we have to keep avoiding maneuvers?"
Just as Colonel Mohammed was looking out the window at the wind and sand, reminiscing about the past, a chagrined and incomprehensible question woke Muhammad from his silence and looked for prestige, and it was none other than Second Lieutenant Ibrahim, who had just been assigned to the "Falcon" anti-aircraft missile battalion a week ago.
Although Ibrahim behaved calmly and experienced in front of people, the blood in the bones of the young man was still full of blood, and he had been in the "Falcon" air defense missile battalion for a week, and the shocking scene of the missile launch he was looking forward to not only did not see, but he repeatedly practiced hiding and hiding in the depths of the desert every day, which made Ibrahim depressed, and only felt that he was not a proud ground-to-air missile soldier at all, but a rat with a thief head and a thief brain, and he was very unsightly.
Looking at Ibrahim's very depressed expression, how could Colonel Mohammed not see what he was thinking? Speaking of which, Ibrahim was not the only one who had the same idea, when the stern Chinese young man first asked them to train like this, they were opposed by almost all the officers and soldiers, but it was not long before the Chinese instructor showed a few Soviet satellite pictures in front of everyone that they realized that their every move was under the watchful eyes of others.........
"Look at this!"
Muhammad did not explain, took out a black and white photograph from his body and handed it to Ibrahim, Ibrahim took it, only glanced at it, his eyes immediately widened, staring at the phalanx of vehicles arranged in a circle on the photo, he could not believe his eyes, so that his fur and bearded lips trembled slightly, and he exclaimed:
"It's ........ This........ Is this our ground-to-air missile battalion?" (To be continued.) )
