Chapter 206
Fang Monan in his previous life, although he was not a military expert, was overwhelmed with information and didn't want to know that it would be reported on the news. The information more than 20 years ahead of her was enough for her to understand the trend of the entire world's military trend, so it made quite sense.
When Fang Monan entered the house, he held a stack of new issues of US military magazines, which wrote in detail about the all-weather multi-purpose surface-to-air tactical missiles developed by the United States. It is designed to deal with high-performance aircraft with modern equipment, and can destroy short-range missiles in an electronic jamming environment, intercept tactical ballistic missiles and submarine-launched cruise missiles. The missile is 5.31 meters long, 0.41 meters in diameter, weighs 1 ton, has a maximum flight speed of 6 times the speed of sound, a maximum range of 80 kilometers, and a high-energy explosive fragmentation type.
Han Zhiqian sat on the rocking chair, taking refuge from the heat, Pan Xiaomei was peeling apples, the level was not bad, the skin was very complete, everything was halved, and half was handed to Fang Monan and Han Zhiqian. Pan Xiaomei picked up another apple and peeled it, not forgetting to listen to their chat.
"The magazines are all published, and the U.S. government doesn't care?" Old Man Lin said.
"There's no core content, it's just an overview, and after they produce it, they sell it out." He Junyao said.
"Hmmm! Well! Fang Monan nodded, "It's not like our country treats it as a military secret, and people report it to deter all countries, don't act rashly, be careful that I beat you." She also raised her hand humorously, "This is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight." ”
"It's really in line with Lao Mei's flamboyant personality." Old Man Lin touched his nose and said. "It's always so arrogant, but it's just a paper tiger."
"People have this arrogant capital." Speaking of this, Fang Monan remembered a joke in the later life. "The U.S. passport reads:
No matter where you are in the world, the U.S. government and military have your back. And my country's passport reads: Please strictly abide by the local laws and respect the customs there. The comment is, the United States said: Someone bullied you when you went out. Say hello and we'll fix him. My country said: Go out, be honest, listen to others, and don't make trouble for Lao Tzu. ”
"Poof...... Nannan, where do you see it? It's really vivid, but it doesn't say so on the back of the U.S. passport. Han Zhiqian smiled, and suddenly his smile disappeared, "But from one side, it also reflects why the green card is so popular, and people all over the world are flocking to it." ”
Old Man Lin and He Junyao really can't laugh, they are sad! I really hope that our passports will one day have such a good sentence.
"But he doesn't use it on the battlefield, so how do buyers know if he's good." Old Man Lin changed the subject.
Fang Menan smiled meaningfully. The old man really said something, and soon the whole world will know about the Patriot and Scud, and they will fly around on TV every day.
He Junyao looked at her with a meaningful smile, and always felt that it was a firm idea.
Old Man Lin didn't say anything, and looked at a stack of military magazines slowly flipping through.
More than once in magazines it was written about information warfare. It's a very vague concept, He Junyao muttered, "Informatization." Informatization. ”
Since he was chatting, Fang Menan didn't mind saying a little more, "Information warfare is a form of warfare, which refers to the integrated warfare of multiple services and arms waged by the two warring parties in the land, sea, air, space, electricity, and other full-dimensional spaces under the conditions of nuclear deterrence in the information age, with information-based troops as the main combat force, and a large number of information technologies are used. New material technology, new energy technology, biotechnology, aerospace technology, marine technology and other conventional weapons and equipment of the contemporary high-tech level, and adopt corresponding combat methods. Wars fought in local areas with relatively limited ends and means. ”
"You...... You even know that. Old Man Lin was surprised.
"I don't understand! I don't know the specifics, it's written in other magazines. Fang Monan Nunu mouthed, looking at the pile of magazines. First of all, it is the construction of informatization. Other major military powers in the world have achieved the mechanization of their armies as early as two decades ago. At present, they are all emphasizing the important role of informationization construction in the military. In future wars, we will not only emphasize air and sea supremacy, but will also further emphasize the right to control information. Fang Menan continued: "Mechanized warfare is mainly manifested in the contest of iron and steel, and it is an all-round competition in the production capacity of the entire national machinery and industry. Information warfare does not exclude the contest of material forces, but more importantly, it is a contest of knowledge and a contest of innovation ability and innovation speed. Knowledge will be the main source of the destructive power of war, and "an ounce of silicon in a computer may produce an effect greater than a ton of uranium". ”
"You're not going to be alarmist, are you?" Old Man Lin squinted at her with a look of disbelief.
"Nannan is right." Han Zhiqian echoed.
"Facts speak louder than words." Fang Monan pretended to be profound, old-fashioned. "And the United States came up with the Star Wars program in '83." Seeing a few of them nodding, she continued, "With the current level of technology, it is simply impossible to achieve such a seamless level of defense. Completely evading a nuclear strike by a hostile country is just a dream. Therefore, the main purpose of the Star Wars program was to create tension and drag down the Soviet Union with an endless arms race...... However, at least there is one thing that the Star Wars program is of great practical significance, that is, the construction of military informatization. This is crucial. ”
Old Man Lin obviously showed a shocked look on his face, and said, "The Star Wars program is to drag down the Soviet Union? Impossible! ”
This assertion was a common conclusion in later generations, but at the time, it was absolutely "earth-shattering".
Fang Menan didn't reply, and He Junyao said, "Nothing is impossible. "The news he got from Ye Laosi, he clearly knew that the Soviet Union was now mired in internal and external troubles, otherwise how could Ye Laosi make money so outrageously. Although now, the USSR has not collapsed, it is only a matter of time. "Eastern Europe is not a drastic change, and from the other side, it does not mean that the Soviet Union's ability to control it has decreased a lot."
Fang Menan looked at him in surprise and nodded, "The analysis is good. "A thumbs up in my heart.
Because of our geographical relations, our country is doubly concerned about any changes in its northern neighbor.
"Nannan is right. It was to drag down the USSR. He Junyao replied with certainty: "The productivity and economic strength of the United States are far superior to those of the Soviet Union. The balance of economic power between the two countries is far less balanced than the comparison of military power between the two countries. With both sides possessing weapons of mass destruction, it was impossible to conquer the Soviet Union by force. can only rely on strong economic strength to drag down this old rival. The planned economic system of the Soviet Union could not in any case support the huge expenditures of the arms race for a long time. ”
"Who told you about these things?" Old Man Lin asked.
"It still needs to be said and analyzed." He Junyao said, it's just that the first two years were not obvious, and the news brought by Ye Laosi in the past two years has become more and more obvious, especially since last year, the situation in Eastern Europe has been unstable, which has made it even worse for the Soviet Union.
Old Man Lin listened to the two of them singing and harmonizing, his heart was unstable, he drank the tea in front of him, picked up the teapot and reached several cups, and after drinking, he felt relieved.
Fang Monan returned to the topic and talked about what she roughly knew, "Firepower, mobility, and information are important contents that constitute the combat capability of the modern army, and information capability has become the primary indicator for measuring the level of combat capability." Information capability is manifested in information acquisition, processing, transmission, utilization, and confrontation, and is embodied through the contention and control of information superiority. The essence of information superiority is to prevent the enemy from understanding its own situation while understanding it, and it is a process of dynamic confrontation. It has become a prerequisite for the struggle for air supremacy, sea supremacy, and land control, and has a direct impact on the course and outcome of the entire war. Of course, man will always be the master of information warfare. The planning, organization, and command of war have developed from being entirely man-oriented to relying increasingly on the combination of man and machine by technical means, and the requirements for the quality of military personnel are also higher. From the competition for information superiority to the eventual transformation into decision-making advantage, it is more about the competition of knowledge and wisdom. ”
"Hey! After listening to you for a long time, the army will need a large number of knowledgeable and literate soldiers in the future, and it is impossible to pick up a gun and be a soldier like before. Old Man Lin said.
"Hmmm! We must attach importance to the military's informationization construction, and correct analysis and judgment come from accurate information. Without accurate sources of battlefield information, any command is blind. No matter how powerful the firepower and mobile ability of the troops are, they will not be able to win the war. He Junyao said affirmatively.
"Hmmm! Well! Fang Menan said, "There are overviews in these magazines, but the specifics are not our business!" You will see this very clearly in the next local war in which the United States is involved. The US military's superiority in informationization will be the greatest advantage on the battlefield. ”
Thinking of the Kuwait War, which would break out soon, Fang Menan smiled, and the opportunity to make money came again.
"You can assume that if the United States were to get involved in the next war, where would it be! Simulated drills anyway? Think as you like. Fang Menan said.
He Junyao lowered his head in contemplation, then looked up at Fang Monan again, "Persian Gulf? As far as he knew, Iraq had driven its elite Republican Guard to the Iraqi-Kuwait border and accused Kuwait of stealing their oil, but probably not! This is no joke. It's really hard to say, it's just an idea anyway, it's okay to think about it, and you can make a good military paper.
When Fang Monan heard his words, he lowered his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, it was really not simple! She knew it was because of rebirth, and he could guess the Persian Gulf, because of what? Without rich knowledge and experience, it is difficult to have a political and military understanding of the overall international situation!
"Hmm!" Old Man Lin nodded, "That's really a powder keg, it has never stopped over there, didn't Kissinger say that whoever controls oil controls all countries; The Iran-Iraq war was not fought for eight years. (To be continued) RQ
