Chen Beiming did not participate in the production of the promotional film of "Strong Army" throughout the whole process, he helped everyone sort out an idea and took everyone on the right track, so he didn't care much, only when each episode was almost edited, he participated in the final review.

He had something else to do.

Just when he was almost busy with the promotional video of "Strong Army", there was a ding, and the voice of the system sounded.

"The last task: to write and promote a new military theory work "Unrestricted Warfare", and to become a veritable military expert."

The last mission?

Chen Beiming was stunned.

"Aren't other tasks not allowed to be posted? It was secretly released before, and it was banned and blocked, even if it was the system, there was nothing to be done, so this is the last task. "The system complains.

Chen Beiming nodded understandingly, the task is complete, and it is time for him to take a curtain call.

However, he soon raised his own question: "Since this is the last mission, since it is going to publish a work on military theory, why not choose "The Art of War"?" ”

The Art of War is the most classic military work in Chinese history, which has influenced not only the entire history of China, but also the whole world.

"The Art of War" is a required textbook for the training of senior management talents at West Point and Harvard Business School, and has influenced Konosuke Matsushita, Soichiro Honda, Akio Morita, Daisey Ibuka, General Motors CEO Roger Smith, and SoftBank President Masayoshi Son.

British Air Marshal Slesser once said: "Sun Wu's thinking is astonishing, and with a slight change of words, his proverbs seem to have just been written yesterday." ”

Franks, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. military, commented: Sun Wu, the ghost of this ancient Chinese military thinker, seems to hover next to every war machine advancing on the I-Lak Desert.

Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of Matsushita Electric in Japan, said: "The Art of War is the first god in the world, and we must bow and worship, recite it carefully, and use it flexibly in order for the company to develop." ”

A book written by Nixon in the United States, "1999 Won Without a Fight", quoted a lot of quotations about Sun Tzu.

In June 2015, in the midst of war, Ukrainian-Ukrainian-Uk

Therefore, Chen Beiming believes that since he wants to write a military monograph, "The Art of War" is the most suitable.

There are two Chinese military works that have been called the world's top ten classics of military theory, one is "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, and the other is "On Protracted War" by Taizu.

In terms of status, "The Art of War" should be a well-deserved first.

Martin van Creveld, a contemporary Israeli strategist, once commented that among all the works on war studies, "The Art of War" is the best, and Clausewitz's "On War" can only be relegated to second.

So Chen Beiming thought that the system would give the task of writing "The Art of War", but he didn't expect it to be "Unrestricted Warfare".

"Unrestricted Warfare" is a military work co-authored by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui.

Qiao Liang is deputy director of the Creation Office of the Political Department of the Air Force, professor of the Strategic Teaching and Research Department of the Air Force Command College, and major general of the Air Force. Wang Xiangsui, retired Air Force colonel, professor at Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, director of the Center for Strategic Issues, and chief scientist of aviation development strategy of the National Aeronautical Science and Technology Laboratory.

In 1999, "Unrestricted Warfare" was first published, because it accurately predicted the occurrence of the 9/11 incident and aroused strong repercussions at home and abroad, and was praised by the Washington Post as the most influential book for Chinese in the West in the past 40 years, and was listed as a required reading book for cadets and an official textbook of the US Naval Academy by the West Point Military Academy, and then was written into the new version of the US military combat doctrine.

The book has a good reputation abroad, but it is not taken seriously at home.

Suddenly, Chen Beiming's heart jumped suddenly: "System, you asked me to write the otherworldly version of "Unrestricted Warfare", is it because there is also a 911 incident here?" ”

The system didn't answer, but just sent a bunch of information, including "Unrestricted Warfare" written by Qiao Liang, "The Art of War", and a summary of the world's global development in the next few years.

Chen Beiming first roughly flipped through the global development summary, and soon, his heart jumped suddenly, there is indeed 911 in this world, but the system did not clarify what year, month, and day this event would happen, the system just repeatedly told that this thing must be completed before July 8.

Soon he remembered that on July 1, 2000, the 21st Global Military Forum was held in the capital of Xia Kingdom, and he was invited to participate in this meeting.

I see.

Chen Beiming was stunned.

This is the opportunity, and this is the perfect time to launch Unrestricted Warfare!

In fact, the main theory of the military monograph "Unrestricted Warfare" is not difficult to understand, and it actually refers to battles or wars that transcend boundaries or limits.

Qiao Liang believes that the premise of distinguishing things from each other is boundaries. But in this interdependent world, boundaries have only relative meaning.

Transcendence refers to the transcendence of everything that is called, or can be understood as a boundary. Whether it is material, spiritual or technical, Qiao Liang believes that the transcendence of boundaries is the transcendence of methods.

To put it simply, there are two types of so-called unrestricted warfare, first, asymmetric warfare, the most extreme example is the war of terrorism, such as 911, terrorists do not need to have the same strength as the United States to inflict a major blow on the United States, terrorists only need to create some terrible terrorist activities, as long as there is a major threat to the security situation of the United States, this battle is considered a victory.

Another kind of unrestricted warfare is a war that goes beyond the conventional battlefield, such as oil wars, economic and trade wars, financial wars, cyber wars, diplomatic wars, propaganda wars, and so on.

"Unrestricted Warfare" is actually a very remarkable book, maybe he has one kind or that shortcoming, but he is indeed the first non-literary book in China to be printed 10 times in a year, and he is also the first book to be openly pirated and distributed by Americans who value intellectual property rights very much!

"Unrestricted Warfare is a masterpiece. U.S. intelligence agencies and public opinion, especially those Americans who are afraid of China and the role it plays in the world, have made the book famous. Italian Army General Mini assessed.

"Unrestricted Warfare is a special document on the strategic thinking of modern China. All the changes come from the fact that the war has broken through the usual boundaries. "The French general Michel concluded.

"Unrestricted Warfare may not be comparable to what Clausewitz or Sun Tzu wrote, but it does demonstrate some original ideas, and as a creation that envisions and guides 21st century warfare, it is as good an effort as 'The Great Trend' and 'The Shift of Power.'" Professor, Virginia Military Academy, USA. Ahari commented.

Unfortunately, the role of this book is not taken seriously in China.

After thinking about it, Chen Beiming made a decision: "Okay, since there is a chance, let me change all this, give this "Unrestricted Warfare" a new status again, and give him everything he deserves!" ”

Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is June 30, and the 21st Global Military Forum is about to open.

On June 30, Chen Beiming accompanied the experts and leaders of Xia Guo to receive the guests.

Originally, this military forum was only an exchange between some civilian military researchers or military experts, but gradually, with the gradual expansion of its scale and influence, most of the organization of the forum was carried out by the government, and the military of various countries would also send relevant personnel to participate.

This time, the forum was also in charge of the Xia military, and the specifications were quite high and the scale was very large.

In the past two years, Xia Guo has gradually emerged in the global military circles - Xia Guo is no longer always following in the footsteps of the United States and the West as before, always following the trend, but has begun to show some of its own things, or began to export some of its own treasures to the world, such as theory, or military equipment and the like - so many countries came to participate in the conference this year, almost two-thirds of the world's countries came, and the world's developed countries, the second echelon, the third world, and even some of the fourth world have sent representatives.

Chen Beiming and Qiu Yujie are a reception group.

"Another delegation is coming."

Chen Beiming and Qiu Yujie were chatting, and the staff used the walkie-talkie to inform.

"Let's go!" Qiu Yujie stood up and hurriedly walked out.

Chen Beiming also went out.

This time it was the delegation of South India Delhi and the delegation of the island nation.

They don't know if they have already made an appointment to come over together or just occasionally, and when they come together, the two sides are as close as brothers.

Chen Beiming and Qiu Yujie glanced at each other, and they both pursed their lips secretly, but the two of them still greeted each other with smiles on their faces.

Everyone's warm greetings.

"Hello Chen, I'm An Lailuo, an expert from the Delhi Institute of Military Strategic Studies. Gandhi, it's such an honor to be greeted by you personally! A Delhi military expert stretched out his hand and shook Chen Beiming warmly.

Chen Beiming listened to it and suddenly realized that he was a member of the Gandi family! He also became more enthusiastic: "Hello, Mr. Anlero. ”

The two sides shook hands warmly.

The two exchanged a few words, and at this time, an island researcher walked over.

"Chen, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Yamamoto, a well-known military expert in the island country." An Lai Luo warmly introduced.

"Hello Mr. Yamamoto." Chen Beiming stretched out his hand enthusiastically.

"Hello, Mr. Chen." Yamamoto responded lightly.

Chen Beiming glanced at An Lailuo, and then at Yamamoto.

These two people seem to be a little abnormal.

Sure enough, An Lailuo enthusiastically introduced: "Chen, you may not know much about Mr. Yamamoto, although his reputation in the international military theory community is not large, but the research results in the past two years are very outstanding, I believe that after this forum, his fame will be rising, I heard that he will put forward a brand new military theory at this forum, right, Mr. Yamamoto?" ”

Yamamoto listened, a smile appeared on his face, his chin was slightly raised, but his tone was still light: "In fact, it is not a brand new military theory, but a sublimation and summary of global military theory. So I want to share it with you on this forum! ”

Yamamoto's pride is palpable.

When An Lailuo heard this, he immediately echoed: "Mr. Yamamoto's monograph is absolutely unprecedented, and it is absolutely of milestone significance for the development of global military theory, and I firmly believe that Mr. Yamamoto will definitely become a world-renowned military expert after this forum, just like Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Beiming and Qiu Yujie glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that these two guys must have been premeditated when they sang and harmonized.

In the name of the military forum, it is an exchange and exchange between experts and researchers from various countries, but in fact, it is also a hidden battlefield, a battlefield for countries to compete for the right to speak and dominate.

Previous military forums were generally dominated by the United States and the West, and experts from the United States and the West would throw out something novel, whether it was military equipment or military theory.

Other countries were shocked and opened their eyes on the one hand, but on the other hand, the direction of development and research was naturally led by the nose of the United States and the West.

This time, the western side of the United States seems to be very calm, but the island country and South India seem to be jumping, as if they want to do something.

In the past two years, island countries have vigorously developed their armaments, and although the constitution stipulates that they cannot have weapons of mass destruction or regular armies, they have always played on the sidelines and always violated the law; by virtue of their excellent performance and low prices, they have gradually made a lot of money in the international arms market, and they have also won a certain status and respect.

So if, as Yamamoto said, his book really attracted the attention of the world, then there is no doubt that the influence of island countries in the global military circles must be greater.

This is what many countries do not want to see, at least, this is what Xia Guo does not want to see.

Looks like he has something to do.

Chen Bei said secretly.

Then, he smiled and asked, "Mr. Yamamoto, can you reveal a little bit first, what are the main contents of your theory?" ”

The corners of Yamamoto's lips hooked: "I'm sorry, Chen, this is going to be kept secret for the time being, if you are interested, you are welcome to listen when I speak, and I will definitely know everything when the time comes." ”

Yamamoto and Mr. Yasuro were so ambitious that in the short hours leading up to the opening they preached that they would brag about a new military doctrine when they met a team that they would come up with a new military doctrine during their keynote speech.

When researchers from many countries heard this, they all looked forward to it, and in private, everyone rushed to discuss it.

"Hey, have you heard that Yamamoto of the island nation is going to announce a completely new military doctrine?"

"They told you too?"

"You already knew?"

"We already knew about it, so we came here to talk about it, and said that this theory will definitely be the main guiding theory for the future of the global military, and I hope that we will definitely attend that meeting when the time comes."

"That'..... You say...... Is what Yamamoto said true? ”

"I don't know, since the development of military theory, there has not been much progress, the island country ...... I can't come up with any new tricks, right? ”

"It's hard to say, the island country has been planning military development all the time in the past two years, and it is relatively close to the United States and the West, maybe something new may really come up?"

"If that's the case, then the island nation is a bit of a bad thing!"

"I see, people have premeditated, and they are ready to come to steal the limelight of Xia Kingdom!"

Tweet and tweet, researchers from various countries are talking underneath.

After a long wait, it was finally Yamamoto's turn to take the stage to speak.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, I am Yamamoto, a military theory researcher from the island country, and I have come to this forum this time, and I have brought you a gift, and the name of this gift is 'New Theory of War'."

At this point, he stopped talking, but picked up a monograph from the table and shook it at everyone: "This is the book." ”

At this time, the staff immediately handed out a booklet to each participant, which was given by Yamamoto for free.

Of course, not all, not really "A New Theory of War".

The book in Yamamoto's hand is at least more than 500 pages, and this is only the first volume, and everyone gets only more than ten pages, which is equivalent to an outline, which is to give a concise overview of the content of Yamamoto's book.

Yamamoto did not continue to speak, but left time for everyone.

Attendees immediately seized the opportunity to read it quickly.

Chen Beiming also sent a copy, and after opening it, he quickly flipped through it.

I have to admit that this book is very well written, and he starts from the occurrence of war, preparation, mobilization, combat, post-war resettlement, and so on, and expounds them one by one, and argues them in detail. In particular, the discussion of strategy and tactics is very innovative.

In a word, this is very much like the famous military book "On War" on the earth, and its theoretical level is even a little higher than that one.

After all, "On War" was written too early, while Yamamoto's "New Theory of War" was only recently written, and he absorbed a lot of research results in recent years, especially the combat research of many high-tech equipment.

So, to be honest, this book is really a bit remarkable.

Sure enough, after everyone looked through the catalog, they were immediately shocked, especially some countries that were at war, and it was like a treasure.

"It's such an amazing book, and even though I've only just seen the outline, I can't wait to read the original!" Evaluation of a country's ministers.

"Looks like all the human wars are here!" A general summed up.

"This book, researchers and commanders in our country must have a copy in their hands!" Another general also said.

Everyone has shown great anticipation for this book.

Seeing everyone's reaction like this, Yamamoto, who was standing on the stage, finally showed a very bright smile.

In the speech that followed, he became more and more boastful, and the audience below was blinded by him.

Everyone couldn't help but think to themselves: It seems that the main position of military theoretical research in the future will be changed, and it will no longer be the United States and the West, nor can it be the Xia country, but can only be an island country.

When summing up, Yamamoto was even more carried away and said: "The study of military theory has always been a broad and profound subject, and I hope that all the experts and researchers here must not be complacent, and must make more efforts, especially the friends of the Xia Kingdom, you have a long history, a broad and profound culture, and the number and scale of wars have always been in the forefront of the world, such a big country should have a book that can guide the military development of mankind." ”

Everyone nodded.

Xia Guo actually had military monographs, but they failed to reach the level of the world's top ten classics.

So Yamamoto said this sentence is the truth, but this guy's tone of speech is too arrogant, and he is too arrogant, but more importantly, if the development of military theory of the island country has really entered the world's advanced level, or has played a leading role, then-

The militarists in the island country are afraid that they will be even more impatient.

Therefore, Chen Beiming suddenly made up his mind to combat Yamamoto's arrogance.

After Yamamoto finished speaking, everyone entered the free discussion session, Chen Beiming stood up without hesitation and said: "Experts, scholars, about Mr. Yamamoto's "New Theory of War", I admit that it is indeed very well written, and he has also spent a lot of effort, but I think this is just a translation and repackaging of some of the wisdom of the ancients in modern language, and rewriting, in other words, this is just new wine in an old bottle!" ”

What the?

More than 100 experts and scholars in the venue were stared, and the reporters were also stunned.

This "New Theory of War" is just a rewriting of the wisdom of the ancients?

Everyone stayed for a few seconds, and then you looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't know how to answer.

Yamamoto was also frightened by Chen Beiming's words, he stayed for more than ten seconds, and then stood up suddenly: "Chen, what do you mean?" ”

"I understand very clearly, your book is very well translated!" Chen Bei Ming Dao.

"Y-you-you-" Yamamoto was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

His painstaking research and creation were called translations by Chen Beiming?

What is Translation? Doesn't this mean that he is just a copyist? Translate the ancient texts of the past into modern ones, and then add a little new things, but no matter how many new things you add, if it is really just a new ancient text, then his "New Theory of War" will definitely be looked down upon by other countries, and there will not be many people looking forward to it!

This is absolutely unbearable!

So he was very angry!

However, Chen Beiming continued: "In ancient China, there was a similar military book that was almost exactly the same as what Mr. Yamamoto wrote, and even the arrangement of the chapters was almost the same, of course, there are still differences in content, after all, our ancient military books were written too early, and many of the contents were written from the actual situation in ancient times, and Mr. Yamamoto's writings, the examples given are all based on modern war cases!" ”

When Yamamoto heard this, he was furious: "Chen Beiming, you are slandering, you are legally responsible, this "New Theory of War" is the result of my hard work for ten years, why do you say that I am just compiling ancient works for modern times?" ”

Chen Beixi is not nonsense, turn on the computer, connect to the projection, enter the URL of Chinese online, enter the four words "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in the search box, click search, for a moment, the page flashed, an ancient book appeared in the field of vision, Chen Beixi clicked to read, and explained while clicking.

"Look, this is an ancient work that has long been uploaded to China's Chinese online, the author's name is Sun Wu, the character Changqing, is a native of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Warring States Era, this work should be written from 515 to 512 BC, and the whole book is thirteen. The first part, "The Beginning of the Plan", "The Second Chapter", "The Combat Chapter", the third part, "The Attack Chapter......"

Chen Beiming first gave a general introduction to "Sun Tzu's Art of War", and then carefully explained: "The first original text of the first plan says this, Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be ignored. Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is based on seven plans, and the situation is asked. What does that mean? ”

Chen Beiming analyzed them one by one.

Finally, he raised his head and looked at everyone: "So, from here, is Mr. Yamamoto's "New Theory of War" a modern translation of "The Art of War"? Although he added a lot of new materials, there is not much difference between the overall logic and military thinking. ”

When everyone heard this, they were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long later, there was a bang, and it was like hundreds of thousands of bees rising into the air together.

"Is what Chen said true?"

"When did Xia Guo have such a military book, I haven't heard of it!"

"I haven't heard of it either, maybe it's been excavated by archaeology in recent years, right? Anyway, it can't be fake, as far as I know, ancient texts are very difficult to fake, or it can even be said that people today can't make them at all. ”

"If what Chen said is true, then Yamamoto's views are really just a modern embodiment of Sun Tzu's Art of War!"

"Yes, I think so too, the wisdom of the ancients is truly amazing! There was such a great work thousands of years ago, and the people of Xia were really terrible. ”

Everyone was buzzing and talking.

At this time, Chen Beiming continued: "Mr. Yamamoto's book is really remarkable, it has made a comprehensive summary of modern warfare, and this book is worth reading carefully for many of us, but when it comes to military thought, I don't think there is much innovation, it is just a modern translation of Sun Tzu's Art of War!" Of course, Mr. Yamamoto translated it very well! ”

Hearing this, with a wow, Yamamoto was so angry that he vomited blood.
