The courtyard where the corpse Nanhai Xiao Lao lived, the room style was quite ancient. The interior is also not luxurious. It's just that the simplicity and solemnity with a sense of vicissitudes of history cannot be replaced by any modern luxury decoration.

"Sister Ning, the Military Commission has made continuous big moves in the past two days, do you know?" In the living room, Xiao Ke sat relaxed on the sand seat and asked Xiao Ning with a smile.

Xiao Ning was watching the noon news on TV, listened to Xiao Zhen's words, and said very casually: "I know." Your brother-in-law is complaining at home, and he has no part in the Air Force for several times. ”

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed, his brother-in-law was really fascinated by the Air Force. However, then again, it is precisely because there are more such people that our air force will have a future.

The so-called continuous major actions of the Military Commission have nothing to do with the Air Force. Actually, it's three things. The first thing is that on June of the year of Shiyuanna, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, the first comprehensive university of the People's Navy, the Naval Engineering University, was established in Xiaobei Jiangcheng. The newly established Naval University of Engineering was formed by the merger of the former Naval Engineering College and the Naval Electronic Engineering College, and is currently one of the three comprehensive universities in the whole army.

The second thing is that the world is shining brightly on the old days. Jiang Enguo, chairman of the Central Military Commission, signed the order. The new National University of Defense Technology of the Chinese People's Liberation Army was formed. The Central Military Commission decided to merge the four military academies in the Xingcheng area on the basis of the former National Defense Science and Technology University to form a new National Defense Science and Technology University, which will be directly led by the Central Military Commission. This is the Central Military Commission's efforts to implement the strategy of strengthening the army through science and technology and to increase the training of high-quality personnel. It is a major measure to promote the quality building of the whole army.

The third thing is the introduction of the sun in June of the year of the world. The Central Military Commission issued an order to readjust and reform the structure of military academies and universities. In the current readjustment and reform of the structure of military academies and universities, we should persist in facing modernization, the world, and the future, improve the cadre training system, build a new-type system of academies and universities, reorganize the internal structure of academies and universities, embark on the road of running schools on a large scale, modernizing teaching, regularizing management, and socializing and maintaining the system, and gradually establish an education system of military academies and universities that meets the needs of the world's military to excel and win local wars under high-tech conditions, and that has the characteristics of our army and can be sustainably developed.

In fact, these three things are all adjustments made in the face of problems in the construction of military academies, but now everyone knows that the 21 st century is the century of talents, and whoever has a large number of high-quality and sophisticated talents in his hands will be able to lead the world trend, so in fact, these three things are actually these three things. It is indeed a big deal.

"As for the Air Force, I heard that there are still big plans to prepare, right?" Xiao Zhen probed the wind.

"Well, yes, yes." Xiao Ning was naturally unguarded against Xiao Zhen, and said casually: "It seems that I heard him say that the first group company of Huaxia Airlines will be reorganized and established soon." ”

Xiao Zong was slightly stunned, he actually wanted to ask about the big plane, but Xiao Ning's answer reminded him that it seemed that the first group company of Huaxia Airlines seemed to be reorganized and established in 99, and this company was also the main manufacturer of our army's air force equipment in the future.

"After the reorganization of the Aviation Industry Corporation, the Air Force should have corresponding actions, right?" Xiao Zhen continued to ask along the topic.

Xiao Ning didn't know this very well, and was slightly curious about Xiao Ke's concern about Air Force affairs, glanced at him, and said, "I don't know about this, your brother-in-law will come in a while, you can ask him yourself." I talk to him, I don't ask him about his work, and he doesn't ask me about my work. There are confidentiality regulations, and husbands and wives are no exception. Xiao Ke smiled and looked at the wall clock. But it was around twelve o'clock, and he sighed: "Grandpa doesn't eat at home today, why do you feel a lot colder." ”

"It's rare for their old revolutionary comrades to get together. Do you still want to go with you for a meal? But today is really a mistake, I knew that the old man was so happy today, he didn't come back to eat, it was better to eat at my house. Xiao Ning was also a little excited.

The sound of leather shoes clattering sounded outside the door, the pace was powerful and the sense of rhythm was very strong, Xiao Ning said as soon as he heard it: "Okay, your brother-in-law is here, you talk to him yourself, I'll go and see what to eat for lunch and stand up as he spoke, at this time, Zhang Xujiang, who was tall, came in from outside the door and glanced at Xiao Ning. nodded slightly, and then smiled at Xiao Zhen, before he could speak, Xiao Zhen had already gotten up to greet first: "Brother-in-law, it's so punctual."

Zhang Xujiang laughed, shook hands vigorously with Xiao Zhen who came over, and said, "Get used to it, you shrug closer." ”

"It's okay, Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand slightly: "Brother-in-law, sit." "Obviously, in grandpa's place, Xiao Zhen can be regarded as the master.

"It's about to be the 1st of July, and this military parade of the century, is there any important event for the Air Force? Xiao Zhen did not directly enter the topic, but talked about the hottest topic at the moment, that is, the military parade for the 50th anniversary of the National Day. July 1 is coming soon, although Xiao Ke knows a lot more about the military parade than ordinary people, but in detail, it is obviously not as clear as Zhang Xujiang, who participated in this task, and this topic is the entry point of the topic that Xiao Zhen really cares about for a while.

Sure enough, Zhang Xujiang was more interested in this, and when he heard Xiao Zhen's question, he smiled, and said: "This year's National Day Fall Anniversary Parade, the Air Force will participate in the most types of troops, aircraft models, and numbers in history, he waved his fist to show his strength, and then continued: "The Air Force Foot Brigade and the Vehicle Squadron are a total of one: the Air Force Academy Foot Squadron composed of the Air Force Command College; a pilot walking parade of pilots from the Silent Flight Academy; a foot paratroop of the Airborne Forces composed of the Blazing Airborne Army; a medium- and high-altitude surface-to-air missile squadron composed of the Air Force's missile divisions; The Air Force's air-to-air missile division is fierce, and the new medium-altitude surface-to-air missile is in the air echelon of the army. domestic fighters, escort frames, bombers; The second echelon consisted of domestic bombers; The third echelon consists of tankers and 4 fighters, and the echelon of tankers and tankers is formed; The fourth echelon is composed of domestic attack aircraft; The fifth echelon consists of domestic fighters; The sixth echelon is composed of new domestic fighters; The seventh echelon consisted of Su-Blade fighters. The army, navy, and air force aviation units participating in the review have a total of air echelons and various types of aircraft! Cutting edges. Over the past few years, the number and variety of planes that our Air Force has participated in the parade have undergone great changes. ”

Xiao Ding nodded: "The specifications are very high." ”

Zhang Xujiang said with a smile: "That is, the meaning of this year is different, at the turn of the century, the fiftieth birthday, no matter how you say it, it must be grand." Moreover, now that our People's Liberation Army has been in peace for a long time, the military parade is even more necessary. ”

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he nodded a little seriously. In fact, the significance of the military parade is that the most important purpose of the military parade is to show force to the people of the whole country. Tell the people of the whole country that the country is safe, and at the same time show the results of armaments and give an account of the taxes paid by the people. And if it is a big country, the purpose of the military parade is more than that, its most important purpose is to show the world the determination to use weapons and equipment and use force if necessary. To put it bluntly, it is to declare to the whole world: I am not to be messed with. So the parade is not a bad thing. For countries with a high probability of war, military parades are almost necessary. Emphasizing the peaceful rise of China, it is especially necessary to hold the Ran Soldiers on the National Day. For example, anyone who watches the military parade of the Chinese Communist Party will think deeply, including the United States. These powers knew that if they wanted to fight the Chinese Communist Party, they were not sure of victory.

Some people are strange, the military parade can let foreigners know that we are not easy to mess with? Just a few kicks from there?

That's right, kicking the right step is really one of the factors that let foreigners know that Huaxia is not easy to mess with.

This seems like nonsense, because many people will ask: If the kick is so powerful, why doesn't the United States often parade troops? Why not kick the right step? ** people and ** people even claim that only totalitarian countries hold military parades. But if you pay attention to the military situation, the answer is actually already inside. The United States' weapons research and tactical theories are all open. Computer simulations of a hypothetical military offensive by Canada, which is very friendly to all countries in the world, have been demonstrated by the United States. Do you still need to kick the right step? In the military magazines and military papers of the global tour, the United States' military deterrence has actually gone too far, and there is no need to use military parades to show strength, let alone kick the right thing, and the most important thing is that the United States is taking the road of high-tech weapons, and she has the capital to not emphasize spiritual strength than any other country, and of course she does not have to kick the right step, and even induces other countries not to kick the right step. Think about it, if you don't have a strong will to fight, everyone is better than weapons. Who will be America's adversary? Think again. In the Eight-Nation Coalition and the Korean War, the gap between China and Western countries in terms of weapons was the same. Why did these two wars turn out to be completely opposite? Therefore, the United States is not afraid of China's nuclear weapons, nor is it afraid of Huaxia's new fighters, and the United States has an advantage in this regard. What the United States is really afraid of is the lively tactics and tenacious fighting spirit of the Chinese army.

According to the general practice, when a big country like China and Russia holds a military parade, all foreign military attaches and journalists will gather, and they will look at two things. One is whether there are new weapons or not, and the other is the will to fight. The former is manifested in the vehicle phalanx, and the latter in the foot phalanx. In light of China's national conditions and military traditions, the will to fight is more important than weapons. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, from the founding celebration of the People's Republic of China in 1949 to the 10 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1959, military parades have been held every year, a total of 10 times. Then for twenty-four consecutive years there was no National Day parade. Until the Central Committee of the Communist Party resumed the military parade. On the National Day of the 35th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zheng Nanxun held the second military parade in **! The National Day military parade in the year of hissing is the largest, most state-of-the-art, and most mechanized military parade since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Then the National Day parade on the mainland was disconnected for another fifteen years. This year, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to hold a large-scale military parade at the National Day ceremony, and this is a reasonable thing. The year 1999 was the last year of the 20 th century and the 50 th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Yes, the 11,000 officers and men paraded in this "military parade of the century" may not be unprecedented, but the various types of armored vehicles, combat planes, and missiles on display are the largest exhibition in the history of mankind.

In fact, at the military parade, Huaxia has an innate advantage, that is, ** square. It is the largest square in the world, far more than any other country, including Moscow's Red Square.

Therefore, compared to the spectacle and grandeur of the scene, no country can compare with China. There are many Chinese people, the People's Liberation Army has many soldiers, and the discipline is high, so "the great parade of the century is a certain momentum." To be honest, the whole world does not have to distinguish itself from China in this regard, and if it can't win, no country will win.

"I heard that after the large aircraft project was shelved, there was a high call for the restart of the plan within the Air Force?" Xiao Zhen felt that the atmosphere was almost brewing, so he asked.

"Big plane" Zhang Xujiang sighed lightly and nodded: "The voice is very high."

Xiao Zhen looked at him, but saw him rub his eyebrows, and said: "Wang Lao, there are often some generals and colonels of our air force to visit, hoping that his old man can come again and propose to the central government, but at present, it is difficult for him to be fat." Suddenly, he opened his eyes again, and his light flashed: "However, no matter how difficult it is, we will not give up, there is no big plane, no big aircraft carrier, how can China be called Great China?" Isn't it Xiao Zhen?.

Xiao Ding's face was solemn and he nodded slowly.

The old Wang in Zhang Xujiang's mouth is Mr. Wang Dasi. Back in March. Wang Dasi, then director of the Department of Technology and Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, together with three scientists, Chen Fangyun, Yang Jiahui and Wang Tuchang. They jointly submitted a "Proposal on Tracking and Studying the Strategic High-tech Exhibition" to the central government, that is, "Ji Jige", which later had a wide impact, was drafted by Wang Da, and after the final draft, Wang Da wrote a sincere letter to Zheng Nanxun and other central leaders. Just two days later, Zheng Nanxun responded to the suggestion: "The decision on this matter must not be delayed, and since then, he has been one of the leaders of the large aircraft project."

Zhang Xujiang was greatly relieved to see Xiao Zhen agree. The big plane project is very expensive, and he is actually quite worried that some "politicians" will think that this is a waste of money, and they will waste a lot of money. Especially now that the domestic exhibition is at a high inflation, but the construction of infrastructure is also in full swing. It can be said that all parts of the country are short of money, and the aviation side has to invest in such a big project at once, and it is very likely that the sky will be folded in this group of "politicians." hand.

But Xiao Zhen's attitude made him feel a lot better all of a sudden, he didn't think that Xiao Zhen knew much about the significance of large aircraft in military affairs, but he knew that Xiao Zhen was very good at economic work. Therefore, as soon as I moved in my heart, I immediately pulled out the economic significance of the large aircraft and peddled it to Xiaoke: "We in China are facing the rapid growth of the domestic civil aviation market and the huge demand for civil aircraft in the future." According to the prediction of the Boeing Company of the United States, in the next knife year, Huafu will also need to purchase civilian passenger batch four-disc mouth racks, worth as much as 100 million US dollars. Judging from the current exhibition, this forecast may still be relatively conservative. According to the data, the training, maintenance and spare parts for the purchase of aircraft are supported. The cost required is equivalent to several times the cost of purchasing the machine. More importantly, we cannot give up the domestic market to others and be controlled by others, and this also begs us to develop our own large aircraft as soon as possible. ”

Xiao Zhen smiled and nodded: "I know, I am completely in favor of the large aircraft project, whether it is civilian or military, this money should be used."

Just like when we were engaged in the atomic bomb, "now we also have the same determination to build a large aircraft as we did when we were engaged in the atomic bomb." ”

"Smack!" Zhang Xujiang applauded violently, and immediately took Xiao Zhen as a confidant, and said loudly: "Well said!" China cannot be without large planes forever, and it cannot be without aircraft carriers forever, just as it could not be without atomic bombs in those days! ”

"Oops, hey." Xiao Ning's voice came: "What are you yelling about? This is Zhongnanhai. Not in our little nest! , Xiao Ning said, and the figure came in from outside the door.

Zhang Xujiang was suddenly slightly embarrassed, and laughed dryly: "It's okay, it's just a matter of talking." ”

Xiao Ning glanced at her husband, sat down, and asked Xiao Zhen, "Xiao Zhen, what did you tell him to be so excited?" I'm out there listening to what kind of aircraft carrier you have here, what kind of atomic bomb? Now it's peacetime, "What's the matter, the central government plans to take back the treasure island by force?" ”

Xiao Ding was also made to laugh bitterly by Xiao Ning's teasing: "Sister Ning, you are joking" Even if the central government really has the intention to take back the treasure island by force, then only grandpa knows, how can I know."

"And what do you say?" Xiao Ning glanced at Zhang Xujiang: "Tell me about it?" ”

Zhang Xujiang didn't mind, and said, "It's the problem I mentioned to you last time, the problem of large aircraft." I've always felt that the local writers may not agree with the big plane plan, but I didn't expect Xiao Zhen to agree with it, so I was happy for a while. ”

Xiao Ning sighed and said strangely: "Why don't local officials approve?" I think some people in the center may create some obstacles

Zhang Xujiang is what. Very good air force general" reserve general, but obviously the degree of understanding of complex politics is not as good as Xiao Ning and Xiao Zhen's sisters and brothers, who grew up in a political family, and they were a little stunned for a while. However, Xiao Ning didn't mean to explain, and quickly changed the conversation: "I know, tomorrow night's drinking party, isn't it time for you hawks to start getting together?"

Zhang Xujiang's face turned red, Xiao Ning's words were obviously a little ridiculous, he knew that he was not Xiao Ning's opponent in terms of political thinking, and said stupidly: "It's always good to discuss, opportunities won't come to unprepared people." In the unlikely event that the large aircraft project resumes in the future, we should act as soon as possible. Those guys in the Navy, don't you want to go crazy if you want to be an aircraft carrier? Xiao Ning smiled, but didn't refute it anymore. Just thought about it for a while and said, "I'll go with you."

Zhang Xujiang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Xiao Ning, and although her face was indifferent, it was obviously not a joke, so she suddenly became happy and nodded vigorously: "Okay!" ”

Xiao Ke said with a smile on the side: "Sister Ning is interested, why don't I have a good time with Yu Xiaoling." Brother-in-law, can I get in?

Zhang Xujiang was immediately overjoyed: "Of course, of course, I can't ask for it!" ”

Xiao Zhen laughed, but Xiao Ning glared at Za Zhen on the side, Xiao Ding didn't respond at all, just smiled at her, and Xiao Ning had no choice but to shake his head helplessly. In Xiao Ning's opinion, Xiao Zhen may not be a good thing to get close to this group of officers of the Young Zhuang faction at this time.
