At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Wenbin received a notice that all the officers and men of the battalion would assemble in front of the building, bring their books, and the instructors would conduct holiday combat readiness education.
At two o'clock, the companies were brought to the front of the battalion department on time, and in the order of the first howitzer company, the second howitzer company, the third howitzer company, the missile company, and the antiaircraft artillery company, they sat down with horses and stools, and waited for the education.
The commander of the third howitzer company on duty reported to the instructor: "Comrade instructor, the officers and men of the whole battalion have participated in the combat readiness education, and the assembly is complete, please instruct!" Watchman XXX. ”
Instructor Lan returned the salute: "Sit down."
"Sit down and adjust", the company commander ordered.
After adjusting the team, they quieted down and waited quietly for class.
"The topic I want to talk about today is "Correctly Understanding the Situation and Being Constantly Prepared," and the instructor began to teach according to the lesson plan.
"Correctly understanding and judging the situation is the basic basis for the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission to formulate guidelines for army building, and is also an important prerequisite for us to strengthen our concept of war preparedness and do a good job in war preparedness.
"First of all, let's talk about the first question, hegemonism is the general root cause of contemporary warfare.
The so-called hegemonism refers to the policy of big and powerful countries, bullying, oppressing, and dominating small and weak countries, and claiming hegemony in the world or in certain regions.
Countries that pursue hegemonism, relying on their strong military and economic strength, arbitrarily impose their will on others, interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, infringe on the sovereignty of other countries, and even do not hesitate to use force to start wars.
Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States and the Soviet Union vied for world hegemony, which brought about the danger of fighting a world war.
"The second question is that the international situation tends to ease, but the world is not at peace.
The confrontation between the two superpowers and the two military blocs in the East and the West has ended, the regional hot spots arising from the superpowers' struggle for hegemony have tended to ease, the overall situation in the world has tended to ease, and peace and development have become the two major themes in the world today.
However, we must also realize that the relaxation of the international situation does not mean that the world will never be fine.
In particular, because the world is in a period of transition between the old and the new, some contradictions that were covered up by the United States and the Soviet Union in the past have become unprecedentedly intensified, and have even led to fierce conflicts, and some regional destabilizing factors are growing, with the result that the international situation has become more turbulent, complex, and changeable.
The various contradictions in the world are intertwined and complex.
The contradictions between the capitalist countries have risen, and the economic sphere is prominently manifested in the struggle between the United States, Western Europe and Japan for dominance of the new world order and the redivision of spheres of influence.
The contradictions between the developing countries and the developed countries of the West have become more prominent, and the struggles between exploitation and anti-exploitation, plunder and anti-plunder, and control and counter-control have become further intensified.
Contradictions among some developing countries, ethnic contradictions, religious disputes, and disputes over borders and territories have also developed.
Local wars and armed conflicts are on the rise. In the 20 years between the 70s and 80s of this century, there were 67 local wars and armed conflicts in the world, an average of three per year.
In the first year of the nineties, there were six incidents, in 1991 there were eight more, and in 1992 there were as many as 29 local wars and armed conflicts around the world.
The arms race continues.
Although some progress has been made in disarmament between the United States and the former Soviet Union, only agreements have been reached on the reduction and elimination of certain obsolete strategic weapons, and the goal of stopping the arms race is still far from being achieved.
The arms race among the major powers is shifting from the pursuit of both quantitative and qualitative superiority in the past to the contention for qualitative and technological superiority.
The arms race is also developing in some regions, and the proliferation of nuclear weapons and nuclear technology is difficult to control, especially in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region.
Historical disputes have intensified. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, the civil war in the former Yugoslavia, the civil strife in the former Soviet Union, and the already protracted conflict between the Arab countries and Israel were all related to the intensification of ethnic-territorial and religious disputes.
Competition for resources is intensifying.
The local wars and armed conflicts that have broken out since the eighties have economic reasons and economic purposes, for example, the Gulf War was actually an oil war. The scope of the turmoil has expanded.
Europe, which maintained a peaceful situation for more than 40 years during the period of the United States and the Soviet Union competing for hegemony, has been replaced by turbulence and even war, and has become one of the regions with the highest concentration of local wars and armed conflicts that are currently being waged, and various contradictions and struggles in the Middle East, known as a powder keg, are still intricately intertwined.
Africa is a continent torn by war and turmoil. In recent years, military coups and guerrilla warfare have continued to occur in some Latin American countries.
Third, China's peripheral security environment has improved, but there are still some complex factors of instability.
As far as the surrounding environment is concerned, China's surrounding environment is relatively complicated among the countries in the world, and there are 15 countries bordering China on land alone, including North Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, India, Pakistan, and Vietnam.
There are also some unstable factors in the vicinity of our country.
Disputes over territorial and maritime rights and interests remain.
As a result of the colonialist policy pursued by the Western powers, there are border and territorial disputes between China and most of the surrounding countries.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, we have resolved the border issues left over from history through friendly consultations with many neighboring countries, but the border issues with the former Soviet Union, India, Vietnam, and other countries have not yet been completely resolved, and there are some disputed areas.
The dispute between the South China Sea and the Nansha Islands has become a high-profile issue in Southeast Asia, and China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea and their waters are being divided.
The regional arms race is on the rise.
In the Asia-Pacific region, where China is located, there are many nuclear weapons and nuclear-armed countries, many military powers, many advanced weapons and equipment, and more absolute military spending.
Hegemonism interferes in China's internal affairs and interferes in disputes around China.
Hegemonism, in addition to imposing political and economic restrictions and sanctions on China, continues to maintain a strong military presence in the Asia-Pacific region, and although it has withdrawn its military base in the Philippines, it has obtained new permits from Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia to use military facilities, and has established military-political cooperation.
There are also obvious signs of meddling in Hong Kong Island and supporting Taiwan Island in an attempt to obstruct China's reunification.
Certain factors of instability brought about by national separatism and religious influences.
China is a multi-ethnic country consisting of 56 nationalities, and the reactionary ruling class of the old society has pursued a policy of national oppression, resulting in serious inequality of status, suspicion, estrangement and distrust among various ethnic groups.
Since the founding of New China, the party and the state have implemented a correct ethnic policy, and relations between ethnic groups have become more and more harmonious, but due to the influence of ethnic extremism and religious forces in the international community, this may have an impact on the stability of some minority areas in China.
In addition, the issues of Hong Kong and Taiwan tend to complicate matters.
Recently, the British authorities in Hong Kong have been trying to turn Hong Kong Island into a semi-independent political entity after 1997 and to internationalize the Hong Kong issue.
The Taiwan issue is even more thorny, and the United States has not given up its policy of interfering in China's internal affairs and the great cause of reunification, and has repeatedly sold modern weapons and equipment to Taiwan.
The fourth issue is to be prepared for danger in times of peace and always maintain a high degree of vigilance.
In the face of the complicated international situation, as military personnel, we must firmly establish the Marxist outlook on war, and the basis of our consideration of problems should not be more on making the world full of love, but should think more about the dangers of war, especially local wars and armed conflicts that may occur at any time.
First, we can neither be too nervous about the grass and trees, nor can we put the swords and guns into Kuma and put them in Nanshan.
On the premise of unswervingly subordinating ourselves to the overall situation of the country's economic construction, we must calmly observe and conscientiously deal with threats from all quarters, seize the current favorable opportunity, lay a solid foundation, refine our martial arts, and do a good job of preparing for war with high standards.
Second, it is necessary to conscientiously implement the combat preparedness system and transform the awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace into practical actions for doing a good job in combat preparedness work in a down-to-earth manner.
The combat readiness system that we need to implement,
The first is the war readiness education system. The company conducts combat readiness education once a month to enhance its consciousness of doing a good job in war preparedness through education classes and overcoming peaceful paralysis and laxity.
The second is the combat readiness duty system, in which the detachments responsible for the combat readiness duty task must conscientiously implement the regulations on the combat readiness level, strengthen the duty of officers, control the personnel who are staying outside the home, maintain unimpeded communications, and ensure that they can carry out emergency tasks at any time.
The third is the holiday combat readiness system, New Year's Day, Spring Festival, May 1, August 1st, and 11th should enter the holiday combat readiness in accordance with the prescribed time limit, strengthen the defense of important targets, maintain the rate of incumbency, and the personnel on duty should be in their posts, and who should be called to respond.
Fourth, the soldier management system, with the incumbency rate of officers maintaining more than 50 percent and soldiers maintaining more than 85 percent.
Fifth, the system for the management of weapons and equipment has insisted on conducting a small inspection of light weapons every day and a major inspection every week, and the detachment has a vehicle and artillery field day once a week.
Sixth, the management system for combat readiness materials should be carried out and stored in accordance with the prescribed standards for carrying and transporting, and should be archived separately and in supporting facilities. Implement three points and four determinations.
Seventh, the system of requesting instructions and reporting is to promptly request instructions and report on actions and relevant situations related to combat readiness. ”
The officers and men of the battalion were very interested in the content of the instructor's lecture, and the audience was silent and listened attentively to the instructor's analysis of the teachings.
