As Dao Tong Yan Jingyu mentioned in the old days of Kouyue, it is another thing to persuade Lin Muxun to "send a faction, and it is another thing to formulate a war plan that can be accepted by all parties." In other words, Lin Muxun will give Yan Jingyu and Pei Chengyi face, make concessions on the issue of war, and delay it for a few more years. But Mr. Lin also had to give an account to other delegates and convince the interest groups that supported them behind the scenes, so he needed a good reason. There is no doubt that a well-developed, feasible, and hopeful war plan is the best tool of persuasion.

At the barbecue dinner, Lin Muxun raised the matter in front of Yan Jingyu.

Yan Jingyu was not ambiguous, and authorized Pei Chengyi on the spot, asking him to mobilize all resources to come up with a complete war plan before the Spring Festival plenary congress adjourned, and prepare a brief plan. In any case, the real war plan will definitely not be spread around, and what can be used by Lin Muxun is at most a reduced version of the war plan.

Because it is no secret that both the Republic and the United States are preparing for war, even if the outside world knows that the Republic has drawn up war plans, it will not cause much trouble. To put it another way, the general staff of the republic has thousands of members, and one of the main tasks of these people in peacetime is to draw up war plans against various potential threats, and the threats of the United States are not latent but real, and if there is no war plan against the United States, it is a lie.

This has also become Pei Chengyi's main work around the New Year's Day in previous years.

In fact, there is a war plan. As early as that time, Pei Chengyi, then deputy prime minister of security, authorized Yuan Chenhao, then chief of operations of the General Staff, to draw up a war plan, and according to this plan, he "made suggestions to Yan Jingyu that he should start preparing for a world war." Exactly, in the year of Na. It was only then that the republic took the lead in breaking the deadlock through security cooperation with Europe, making world war less distant.

In the years that followed, the General Staff continued to refine the war plan, mainly by adapting it to the latest situation. For example, when there were four of them, neither Pei Chengyi nor Yuan Chenhao expected that the Heavenly Army would unfold so quickly, and they did not regard the Heavenly Army as the main strategic striking force, and still put the Air Force on the important position, which made the entire operational plan inflexible, and was jokingly called an enlarged version of the Middle East War by some senior staff officers.

After several years of hard work, this war plan has completely changed, not only in terms of content, but also in the mode of warfare, which has had an irreversible impact on the building of the military strength of the republic. For example, at the end of the field. After determining that several key technologies needed for aerospace fighters had either made breakthroughs or could be achieved within three years, Pei Chengyi personally approved the merger plan of the Air Force and the Space Force, "requiring the two major services to complete the preparations for the merger before the end of the month of the year." As mentioned earlier, this time it was the Celestial Army that annexed the Air Force, not the Air Force that annexed the Celestial Army. According to the merger plan jointly drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of National Defense, after the merger, the strategic aviation of the Air Force will be merged into the "tactical space forces" of the Space Force, while the tactical aviation of the Air Force will be merged with the army aviation and naval aviation respectively, and only the support aviation units will be retained in the end, so the Air Force will eventually become a support branch of the Air Force under the banner of the Space Forces.

There is no doubt that such a combination of profits will not only take time, but will also have an impact on military strength, which in turn will affect the war plan that has already been formulated.

Exactly. By the end of the year, the Ministry of Defense still had not yet drawn up a detailed war plan.

According to Pei Chengyi's estimate, it will take at least three years, that is, after the merger of the Air Force and the Space Force is completed, it will be possible to come up with a detailed war plan.

In fact, the main reason why Pei Chengyi suggested to Yan Jingyu to postpone the war for a few years is also here.

Everyone knows that the Celestial Army will be the dominant force in the next war, and some people predicted it as early as the year of the blade, in the next world war. Like the tanks in World War I and bombers in World War II, the Celestial Army will fundamentally change the face of war and bring ultimate victory to the belligerents who are the first to occupy the commanding heights.

Although the theoretical basis cannot explain anything, Pei Chengyi has more than just a theoretical basis.

As mentioned earlier, as early as a few years ago, the Ministry of National Defense used special funds to build the world's largest and most advanced computer group, and used this computer group to conduct a simulation analysis of the Third World War. In fact, with the exception of the first simulation, which took several months, simulation analysis of combat operations in various situations was carried out on a daily basis, and the results of the analysis were directly used to refine the war plan. It is for this reason that, over the past few years, the Department of Defence, through the Military Intelligence Agency, has been using secret grants to strengthen the computer complex. According to intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon's Defense Security Computer Center has a similar computer cluster. All in all. The use of computers to conduct simulation analysis has become the main basis for military strategists to judge future wars.

The Celestial Army is so important that it is naturally highly valued.

Because computer simulation analysis must be based on actual data, and actual data can only be obtained through experiments and tests, so at the beginning of the second year, the Western news media predicted that the Republic was preparing for the establishment of a space force related to the establishment of a space army, and that it would use computers to make a thorough view of the combat methods and operations of the space army. Simulation analysis in order to establish a perfect tactical system of the space army.

This analysis is not wrong, anyway. For any military force to be effective, it needs a tactical system.

Just as Mahan's "Theory of Sea Power" and Du Hei's "Air Supremacy" made the world realize the importance of the navy and air force, the space army must have a similar set of theories if it wants to become the "first army". Of course, it is not difficult to come up with a theory, as mentioned earlier, as early as the year of the blade, there was a theory of the combat of the Celestial Army. The question is. Any mature theory is built on a large amount of practice. If there was no empire on which the sun never sets, supported by the navy, and if there was no exploration in World War I, there would be no "Theory of Sea Power" and "Air Supremacy". The embarrassment of the Celestial Army is here, that is, before that. No war has proven the importance of the Celestial Army.

It is precisely in this way that, from the very beginning, the Republic and the United States can only pin their hopes on high technology.

Anyway, as long as there is enough actual data, with a powerful computer system. You can simulate a large-scale battle, or even a world war. Although it is simulated, there will always be deviations. However, war itself is composed of various uncertain factors, and it is impossible to accurately predict the war, so as long as the data on which the simulation calculation is based is accurate enough, the simulated results are close enough to reality.

For this reason, the Republic and the United States have spared no expense in treating space shooting as a kick in the New Year.

According to the official data published by the republic, only in the year. The Republic of China has carried out a resentful spaceflight, which is equivalent to an average of daily shooting. 8 times. In addition to the slack that completely serves the civilian market and the false shots that mainly serve the civilian market. There are still pilots that are completely in the service of the military, which is equivalent to conducting military space launches every day. Such a high firing frequency is an absolute miracle.

The problem is that this forgiveness is quickly broken. By the year of drowning, the Republic of China had carried out the Dao Concave military space launch, while the United States had crossed the Republic and carried out the Porridge military space launch. Although the data of the year has not yet been counted, it is in the past; In the past month, the Republic of China has carried out eight military space launches of the Verpe, and the United States has carried out the second military space launch of the Attracting Wang, and it is bound to set a new record again.

Because without taking into account the altitude. The ideal location for the space launch field should be on the equator, which is why France is reluctant to give up Guyana, because the Kourou Space Launch Center in Guyana is the closest to the equator in the world. Moreover, the space launch center with the most complete basic equipment, and the Republic and the United States are both countries in the northern hemisphere, and military space launch has a need for secrecy, so in about 2 years, the Republic and the United States have spent a lot of money to build several sea activity bases specially used for space launching, and placed them in a certain ideal sea area for a long time. For example, the "Yitian" station of the Republic of China, all the maritime space launch bases of the Republic of China are named after the famous sword and sword in history, and they have long been based in Galle, Sri Lanka, and Galle is about 6 degrees north latitude, and there are relatively complete ports. It is possible to reach the firing area within an hour of receiving the order, and be ready to shoot, and then return to Galle in a considerable amount of time. The whole ejaculation process will not pass the relay hours.

Compared to such frequent military spaceshoots. The construction of space facilities is much slower.

This is enough to prove that the vast majority of military shots by the Republic and the United States have nothing to do with the strategic defense system, that is, they are mainly purely military experiments. For example, in the year of the island, the Republic of China successively carried out military space launches in a short period of 22 days, and on the day of the introduction of the month, it used the "Blue Tank" station deployed in the South China Sea and the "Yitian" station deployed in the Indian Ocean to launch carrier rockets and muzzle space shuttles.

In this regard, the United States is not far behind. A month later, the United States concentrated on launching military spacecraft into outer space, and most of them were also scheduled for an outer space combat exercise conducted by the Pentagon.

It can be said that it is precisely so, that almost everyone thinks that the republic is in a game with the United States to burn money.

Although in the era of the introduction of the century, as the price of electricity fell to the point of near zero, even with the use of hydrogen and oxygen engines, the cost of space launch also dropped. It is about twice the cost of air transportation at the beginning of the century. The premise for further cost reductions is that new fuels based on catalytic metallic hydrogen can be used in large quantities to produce catalytic metallic hydrogen, which is specifically used for aerospace launching. But such a huge amount of fire can still crush any country. For example, in the last year, the Republic's expenses for military space launches accounted for the national defense budget. It is equivalent to the paste of the military expenses of the Heavenly Army in those years. Because the United States is relatively backward in the development of catalytic metallic hydrogen fuel, and its launch vehicles and space shuttles mainly use high-performance hydrogen-oxygen engines, the United States spends more money on military space launches, accounting for about a large proportion of the national defense budget. That is, it is quite a tribute to the military expenditure of the Heavenly Army, the Gate

It can be seen from this that the Celestial Army is definitely the most money-burning force.

Such a huge investment naturally brings a huge return.

By the end of the year, only the Republic and the United States will have the confidence and strength to build a real combat space force, and Russia and France, which are in the second echelon, will at most be able to build an experimental air and space force, and will not even be able to perfect their own strategic defense system.

It can be said that the results of the new round of the arms race with air and space forces at its core have already been preliminarily separated.

From another point of view, Russia and France, after the launch of the four, that is, the complete destruction of nuclear weapons, no longer have the main purpose of global hegemony, but have instead used the struggle between the republics and the United States to make profits. It is because it is impossible for the two countries to win the next round of the all-out arms race, or even to get a ticket. As far as France is concerned, by the time of the year, the construction of the "European Strategic Defense System," led by France and with the participation of Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and other countries, has only entered the second stage. As a result, the European Union, with France as the leader, will be in a very disadvantageous position in the global struggle for hegemony, and it will be impossible for it to compete with the Republic and the United States for hegemony. Of course, Russia is no better. Its strategic defense system can only protect large cities such as Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinaburg, and most of the interceptors are deployed on the ground, mainly in the atmosphere. Because the explosion of a nuclear warhead in the atmosphere is almost as effective as an explosion on the ground, Russia's strategic defense system has little real combat value.

But for the Republic and Mime, this game is not over yet.

As the vice minister of the Republic of China and the vice minister of direct management of the Ministry of National Defense, Pei Chengyi knows very well that it will not be until the next year at the earliest that the Republic Celestial Army will have actual combat capability.

Fortunately, all the intelligence available to the MIA proves that the construction of the US Space Force is still several years behind.

It is precisely in this way that the initiative remains in the hands of the republic. In the same way, the military theorists of the republic can use the conclusions of the analysis of the swarm of the computer to explore and summarize the tactics of air and space operations, establish a completely new tactical system, and build on it in a less urgent situation. Derivation and prediction of future wars.

Looking at it from another angle, Pei Chengyi can fool those deputies with a set of war plans at any time.

In fact, before that, Pei Chengyi did exactly that. You must know that according to the laws of the Republic, when applying for Chiang's national defense budget every year, the Ministry of Defense must explain in detail the purpose of each budget. What's more, when the annual defense spending is summarized, the Ministry of Defense also has to explain where every penny goes. As a result, the Ministry of Defense will make a detailed presentation to the plenary session twice when requesting the budget and summarizing expenditures. Because it takes money to draw up a war plan, and because many of the costly military projects are related to war plans, as mentioned earlier, the Ministry of Defense is required to explain the entire war plan to the General Assembly in two installments in July of each year, one of which only needs to be presented to the Military Committee. In the need for secrecy, from the beginning of the field. The plans submitted by Pei Chengyi to the plenary congress were all fabricated by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and only the plans submitted to the Military Committee were related to the actual situation, but they were not detailed enough.

It's just that Pei Chengyi doesn't plan to continue to do this this time.

In any case, people like Lin Muxun are definitely not easy to deceive. In fact. Prior to this, Lin Muxun had approached Pei Chengyi several times, hoping that the Ministry of Defense could provide a more detailed war plan, instead of using something that could not stand up to scrutiny to deceive the Military Commission. Pei Chengyi also promised that he would gradually give a detailed explanation to the Military Committee, and in the budget application and expenditure summary for the crown year. We have shown sincerity and given some plans related to the core contents, including the construction plan of the space army.

All in all, because it involves the war a few years later, Pei Chengyi feels that he should go through formal channels.

At the barbecue dinner, Lin Muxun once again said very tactfully that the central government should be more transparent about military spending related to national defense and security, and at least let the military committee know more about the actual situation.

To this end, Lin Muxun also mentioned that if necessary, the size of the military committee can be reduced by half according to Yuan's request, so as to improve the confidentiality of information and prevent leaks. Because of the reduction in the size of the military council. It is tantamount to reducing the influence of the military council, so Lin Muxun has already made significant concessions. What's more. If he does what Yan Jingyu asks, it is equivalent to Lin Muxun taking the initiative to hand over the power of the Military Commission. It can be seen that Lin is very dissatisfied with the opaque practice of military spending, and he is also very unhappy with the government's reluctance to share military information.

Although Yan Jingyu did not give an immediate reply. But from Pei Chengyi's standpoint, he must consider Lin Muxun's attitude.

It is precisely in this way that on the way back to the vice president and the official residence, Pei Chengyi contacted Yuan Chenhao and Liu Xiaobin. Since you want to show sincerity, you have to be down-to-earth!
