What's more, with the influence of the old man in the military circles, as long as all that Fan Hongyu said today can be accepted by the old man, and he comes forward to promote it, maybe the military modernization reform will come ahead of schedule.

Fan Hongyu vaguely remembers that in another world, the real reason for our great reform came from the Gulf War. In that war, the United States used many unknown high-tech weapons to defeat Iraq, which is known as the fourth military power in the world, and was completely powerless. It also woke up the giants at the top level of the republic and profoundly realized the huge gap between the military modernization of our army and the most advanced countries in the world.

If history is not changed, then the Gulf War will break out in a few years.

The impact of starting military reform a few years ahead of schedule on the national army is undoubtedly huge and far-reaching. Modern high-tech competition is originally a battle for day and night, not 10,000 years.

"Hongyu, you seem to have a lot of respect for the American team?"

Old Man Bao said indifferently, and he couldn't see what the old man was thinking.

Fan Hongyu was slightly taken aback, and hurriedly owed a debt, and said, "Grandpa Bao, I don't respect the American team." No matter how advanced the technology of the United States is, the main factor that determines the war is still people. It's not that we haven't fought against the Yankees, and Grandpa Bao once beat the American devils to the ground when he was on the battlefield in a neighboring country. It can be seen that high-tech weapons are not the only winning factor. ”

It is not that Fan Hongyu is seeing the wind and steering the rudder, but the key is that the main reason why he is talking about this today is to make the old man listen to it, hoping that it will be of some benefit to the modernization of national defense. If it arouses the dissatisfaction or even disgust of the old man, it will be counterproductive.

The old man bowed slightly. His expression softened.

Bao Ping'an said: "But we can't underestimate the power of high-tech weapons. Mr. Peng also said back then that Americans have more steel and less gas, and we have less steel and more gas. If we also have more steel and more gas, then the American team will be even more unable to resist. The price we paid for that war was too heavy. Improving the technological content of weapons and increasing their lethality is not just about winning the war. It is also to better protect our own fighters and reduce casualties. We must not neglect the modernization of weapons and equipment. ”

See Bao Ping'an agrees with his own opinion. Fan Hongyu was secretly happy in his heart, and naturally his face would not be brought out, he was too obsessed. Inevitably fell behind.

Old Man Bao bowed his head slightly, sighed softly, and said: "Back then, we fought very hard, and many comrades were killed by planes without even seeing the faces of American devils. If we had a strong air force at that time, that battle wouldn't have lasted that long. There will never be a draw. ”

As he spoke, there was a look of regret on his face.

left regrets in that war, but not only the old man?

Old Man Bao immediately turned to Bao Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, what Hongyu said. There is still some truth to this. You can do some research and get a report. ”

"Yes!"

Although he was at home, Bao Ping'an couldn't help but straighten his chest and promised loudly.

Fan Hongyu was overjoyed.

Originally, he just hoped that Baoxing could sort out these ideas as a discussion. Now Mr. Bao asked Bao Ping'an to go out in person and get a special report. The effect is much more obvious.

Bao Ping'an said to Fan Hongyu again: "Hongyu, in addition to the informatization and digital construction of the army, what other ideas do you have, let's talk about it." Hehe, I didn't expect you to be young, not a soldier, and have such in-depth insights into the construction of the army, which is very good. ”

As he spoke, he nodded encouragingly.

Fan Hongyu hurriedly bowed and said a few words modestly.

After all, he is not a professional soldier, and what he is relying on is nothing more than more than 20 years of foresight and foresight, and he has an understanding of the general trend of the future. When it comes to military literacy, how can it be compared with a general like Bao Ping'an?

These few words are modest, but they are not pretentious, but from the heart.

"Grandpa Bao, Uncle Bao, I won't talk about other technical details here. I believe that the expansion of strategic space in the next few decades is a matter of life and death. In fact, this is no longer purely in the military category, but is related to the overall strategy of the country. ”

Fan Hongyu just said a few modest words, and then became more "high-profile" and directly talked about the overall national strategy.

"Strategic Space Expansion?"

Bao Ping'an raised his eyebrows again.

Today, Fan Hongyu surprised him a lot. It's not that Bao Ping'an can't understand the meaning of these words, but the main reason is that it is difficult for him to talk about the connection between the issue at the level of national strategy and the twenty-year-old young student in front of him.

"Yes, Uncle Paul. From a purely military point of view, our geostrategic space is not optimistic. The neighboring countries, as well as the neighboring countries across the sea, are the only two that can really be called friends. The others have either fought with us or have historical grudges with us, and they can't be called friendly anyway. Coupled with the game of the two superpowers, both the United States and the Soviet Union are very wary of our country, and to put it more seriously, we are already surrounded. Surrounded by potential enemies. At present, our economic reform has just begun, our comprehensive national strength is not strong, and the superpowers and other powerful countries are not very vigilant against us, but with the gradual acceleration of the pace of reform and opening up, the rapid development of the national economy, and the increasing comprehensive national strength, the Western powers' wariness against us will immediately escalate. Strictly speaking, the more we are integrated with the world economy, the more likely we are to suffer from economic aggression. From now on, it should be pre-emptive. In particular, the Western capitalist countries, led by the United States, often operate in conjunction with the actual war. If we open up the market, their capital will penetrate through various channels, and they will try to control our strategic industries and economic lifelines, weaken us from within, and transfer the wealth we have created to their own country. Just like Japan now, it has always been diligent and conscientious in creating wealth for Americans. ”

Bao Ping'an frowned, obviously thinking seriously about what Fan Hongyu said, and after a while, he waved his hand lightly and said: "Economic matters, let's talk about it slowly, you talk about military issues first." ”

"Okay. I believe that in the development of the military industry, it is necessary to find ways to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with military powers. At the moment, in this regard, our platform is very limited. ”

"What do you think?"

"Strengthen cooperation with the USSR!"

Fan Hongyu said without hesitation.

"The Americans have always been deeply wary of us, and their ideology and national interests do not allow them to engage in in-depth military exchanges and cooperation with us."

"The Soviets were just as wary of us as we were."

Bao Xing interjected.

He listened to this conversation extremely carefully, and almost every word was not missed, and his understanding of Fan Hongyu in his heart was once again raised to a higher level.

"That's right, but the situation in the USSR and the USA is different. The Soviet Union was in internal and external difficulties, and faced far more difficulties than the United States. Their comprehensive national strength is also far inferior to that of the United States. For so many years, simply taking the route of a military power has almost dragged down their economy. Moreover, because of the system, the phenomenon in the Soviet Union was extremely serious. Suffice it to say that the current Soviet Union is already an empty shelf, which looks extremely bright on the outside, but is rotten on the inside. They need financial support more than we do. As long as the conditions are right, they will not mind transferring some high-tech weapons to us. Although these weapons could not be the most sophisticated weapons installed by the Soviet Red Army, relatively speaking, they were enough for us to digest and absorb for a while. This is a shortcut to rapidly ramp up the capabilities of the defense industry. ”

Bao Ping'an smiled slightly and said, "This is a bit fresh. Do you mean that we gave the USSR economic support in exchange for their military support for us? ”

"Yes!"

Fan Hongyu nodded immediately.

Old Man Bao coughed lightly and said, "Hongyu, our country is not rich now. Back then, in order to repay our debts, we had a hard time for several years. ”

The old man's thinking is still stuck in the past era. It's no wonder, after all, the old man has left the front-line post and lives in a simple place, which is more or less out of touch with modern society. In the old man's opinion, Fan Hongyu is really a strange theory, a "poor man" who actually wants to exchange money for weapons by giving money to "creditors"?

Fan Hongyu smiled and said, "Grandpa Bao, there are actually many kinds of financial aid. The Soviet Union has always been on high alert against the capital aggression of the United States and Western countries. However, equal cooperation with our country is not necessarily blocked. Because, in their opinion, our economic construction has just begun, and there is no direct threat to them. Strengthening economic cooperation and gradually infiltrating capital is an effective method for the United States and other developed countries in the West, and we can learn from it. It is also very important to establish friendly personal relationships with some of their current key leaders. I think there is one person who deserves our attention, and maybe in the near future, this person will be on a higher political stage. ”

"Who?"

"Leonid!"

"He? Probably not......"

Bao Ping'an frowned, a little disapproving.

Leonid, mentioned by Fan Hongyu, is currently a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the CPSU and secretary of the capital city party committee. This person is a well-known "cannon" among the top echelons of the CPSU, and is known for his tough style and daring to speak and do. Although he has been promoted and reused by the current No. 1 person in the Central Committee of the Soviet Union, many big figures in our country are not optimistic about his future.

In fact, this person's personality and style of acting are incompatible with the conventions of officialdom. How can such a person go further politically in the upper echelons of the old and decaying regime of his northern neighbor, who is a complete outlier? I'm afraid that it won't be long before I will be ousted from power.

ps: The sixth more is offered, not to ask for votes from everyone, but to fulfill the promise. 400 votes, chapter 4 should be added. Double 7 days are about to pass, and it is estimated that everyone's votes are all over, and the pie will no longer be "squeezed", hehe......

In addition, tomorrow's update will not be updated in the morning, early morning, so please be informed. I wish you all good dreams! (Site. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
