0414 Phoenix Nirvana

Wang Liang continued: "In those ten years, the 'Taiwan * Strait Crisis', the 'Yin* River Incident', and the 'Bombing of the Embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia' were not the pain and shame that the Chinese soldiers endured? !" ”

"Can we not develop? Can we not look ahead? ”

"Can our army not choose Phoenix Nirvana?"

Wang Liang asked again and again.

In the third year after the Gulf War, the Chinese Navy's new-generation missile destroyer 112 was put into the ranks.

The 112 missile destroyer introduced a large number of warships with advanced Western weapons, allowing Chinese sailors to touch the ceiling of advanced Western warships for the first time.

The Chinese Navy has gradually gotten rid of blindly copying Russian-style warships and has explored the path of warship research and development with Chinese Navy characteristics.

At the same time, the Chinese Navy has also gradually stepped out of the development concept of air-submarine fast, from hoarding a large number of missile speedboats in military ports, to the research and development of 056, and then to the long-distance voyage of aircraft carrier formations, which confirms the change in the thinking of the navy of a major country.

Certainly not the Chinese army that the Gulf War changed.

However, the shock and reflection brought about by that war really promoted the self-innovation and development of the Chinese military.

In the comment area, netizens who have experienced those things in the nineties of the last century have the most right to speak.

"The Gulf War taught the PLA a lesson at that time, and we generally speculated that the US military would be caught in the ocean of people's war. But after only a few weeks of defeat of the Iraqi army, the PLA was greatly shocked, so it began to cross the river by touching the eagle sauce and began to climb the technology tree. ”

"The Gulf War let the Chinese know that the war can still be fought like this! Before that, our thinking was still stuck in the era of the large corps, and we were still counting on Iraq to trap the US military in the vast sea of people's war through the tactics of crowds. However, it was precisely from this starting point that the Chinese army began to think about how to fight future wars. As a result, we have promoted comprehensive changes in our army's ideology, organizational structure, daily training, logistical support, operational command, and so on. ”

"Don't forget the desert storm of the US imperialists, wielding a butcher's knife for the crime of wanting to add, the Gulf War has been 27 years old, and the weak will be beaten and remembered!"

Comment after comment.

Obviously, Wang Liang's memories pierced the hearts of many people.

"I was in military school, I was always watching videos in the library, and I was always thinking, when are we going to be like this? Now, we are getting closer and closer to the goal, and we can't relax. ”

"Only those who can fight can stop the war, and those who dare to fight can make peace. The motherland needs a strong navy that can fight and dare to fight! Come on! ”

"The Iraq War in 2003, I was watching live at that time. Although I was only eleven years old at that time, I was watching the live broadcast and kept thinking about what to do if the Americans beat us. Don't worry about it now, it's not because we grew up, but because our army is strong. Enough to destroy any enemy who comes in. ”

"It has to evolve! Our thinking must not stop at the self-satisfaction of winning quality over quantity, but must fully understand the development of military science and technology in the world today. As everyone knows, others are improving, and we are regressing if we stand still. The development of science and technology is inseparable from the strong strength to support, and the strong strength of the country is the result of the joint efforts of more than one billion of our people. No matter how rich the country is, no matter how rich the people are, it is just a paper tiger without a strong national defense force to support it. Only by having a clear understanding of the development of the world situation and having a strong national defense force as the backing can the people's lives be happier. We don't want to dominate the world, we just don't want to be bullied by the world. ”

"The shock began with the Anglo-Argentine War, when the Sheffield was hit by Exocet, and new weapons and forms of warfare were displayed in front of the Chinese army."

"I was the shocked high school student military fan at the time."

"In the eighties began to subscribe to ship knowledge, aviation knowledge, red-eyed fever and envy."

"Now we are raising our eyebrows, and we are terrible for my country! Thank you to the backbone of China for this silent dedication, and salute you!! ”

"I was envious at that time! Burke-class, F-15, 16, tens of thousands of tons of Ticonderoga-class and various types of aircraft carriers are simply drooling, the Gulf War woke up China, the navy is booming, and the current navy is no longer a navy that envies others, but a people's navy that obeys the party's command and can win battles and has a good work style. ”

Then, Wang Liang made several analyses on objective reasons.

Wang Liang said: "The reason why we are building an overseas base in Djibouti is, first, that the Chinese Navy is familiar with the port of Djibouti. As everyone knows, piracy has been rampant in the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters in recent years, and China has begun to organize overseas escort formations since the beginning of the 21 st century to protect the safety of shipping routes in the far seas. ”

"Djibouti is one of the few reliable ports for shore replenishment, and almost all the capital ships of the Chinese Navy have participated in escort operations and docked here, and if we calculate that each batch of ships is replenished twice, nearly 40,000 Chinese sailors have arrived here in such a place with a population of less than one million."

"There's a second reason. The people of Djibouti are very friendly to the Chinese Navy. As early as 2010, Djibouti became the first stop in the first overseas mission of the Chinese Navy's hospital ship Peace Ark-2010. In just seven days of medical services, Chinese military doctors treated 2,719 local patients and assisted 2,588 people, which was well received by the local people. ”

Wang Liang continued: "Third, Djibouti has played an important role as a transit point for our evacuation. In April 2015, the Chinese Navy's Linyi ship carried 225 expatriates from Pakistan and 10 other countries in Yemen from the port of the Gulf of Aden to Djibouti safely. That was the first time that China had used armed warships to evacuate overseas Chinese, and the speed of China's evacuation of overseas Chinese had won praise at home and abroad. ”

Wang Liang remembered that at that time, in the naval compound, these retired veteran comrades also held a tea party to discuss the evacuation incident.

The veteran comrades agreed that if the Navy had its own supply engineering facilities in Djibouti, it would be able to respond more quickly not only to emergencies in the Gulf of Aden and North Africa, but also to other surrounding areas.

Exchanges between China and Africa are growing, and with the Chinese Navy going out on more and more patrols, it's time for a base.

In this way, it can bring more reliable logistical supplies, more efficient evacuation of overseas Chinese and stronger anti-piracy capabilities for the Chinese Navy's long-distance voyages, and thus better maintain the security of international strategic corridors.

"Comrades, the number of Chinese in Africa has exceeded one million, and the investment in the projects involved is huge, which has to be calculated in tens of trillions. To defend economic interests with military strength, we need an overseas military base! Wang Liang said earnestly.
