Many people only see the bright side of being a soldier, but they do not see the suffering side. Apex Update: The fastest soldier is majestic and heroic, has a high social status, and is so magnificent, and it is a group of people who legally carry guns, how awesome. It's just that the pressure and hardship that need to be endured for this is unimaginable to ordinary people.

In terms of endurance, the troops defending the island are at the top of the list.

I can often see the glorious deeds of the non-commissioned officer and his wife on the news, why they are husband and wife. So a small island that can't see people all year round, is there any other choice?

Li Mu has experienced the hardest and most tiring grassroots troops of the army, the period of commandos facing death at all times, and the period of the armed police force that has experienced the temptation and impact of the city's prosperity. In contrast, he thought that the officers and soldiers he had experienced were not worth mentioning at all compared to the officers and soldiers who had spent at least two years on the island.

Even if it was so boring, the officers and soldiers on the island never gave up training, which can be seen from their solid size.

Li Mu had been to so many troops, and the troops guarding the island he saw in front of him were among the ones he admired the most, and most of them belonged to the Marine Corps. When he was very young, probably when the Marine Corps was first formed, Li Mu could often see the scene of the Marine Corps officers and soldiers crossing the country five kilometers every morning, with the big soldiers running in front and the squad leader whipping them in the back with armed belts.

The most impressive time for him was when two officers and soldiers who went out without permission were found by the pickets, just on the side of the road, the baton was firmly beckoned to his body, and the sound of whipping was terrifying, but the two big-headed soldiers maintained a standard military posture from beginning to end, standing straight and straight.

The Marine Corps is a very very strict unit in management and training, far more than many Army units.

However, there is no unit in the world that is not separated from the army, and the two marine brigades are all formed by drawing personnel from the army units, and one of them, or even the entire infantry division, has been reorganized into a marine brigade as a whole.

Peng Jiaxing accompanied the three leaders to dinner, and he said to Li Mu, "Chief, I heard that our reef is going to be expanded, will it be implemented immediately?"

Guan Haiyang interjected, "Xiao Peng, why are you still so anxious. Didn't the chief come here for inspection, you see, Mayor Hou brought all the planning and design personnel. ”

Peng Jiaxing said, "Minister, don't I feel aggrieved. A few days ago, the armed fishing boats of Vietnam came again and circled the side. I really want to him--!"

"Hahaha!"

Li Mu laughed, he found that the naval officers he met were all relatively angry, which might be related to the humidity of working at sea?

"Do you front-line personnel have any suggestions for expansion?" Li Mu asked.

Peng Jiaxing hurriedly said, "Chief, where do we have any suggestions, matters at the level of national defense strategy." ”

"If you want to talk about it, you can tell it, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, that's not your character. Guan Haiyang pointed at Peng Jiaxing.

These two people are very familiar, when Guan Haiyang was guarding the island, Peng Jiaxing was a small platoon commander under him, and now he is still in charge of a platoon, but the level has come up, and the major is in the battalion. The YS Reef Garrison is a sub-battalion unit, although it has less than one full force.

Peng Jiaxing straightened his chest and said, "Yes, chief, our officers and men at the grassroots level have only two demands: First, it is better to deploy coastal defense artillery on the island, and shore defense missiles are better! and the other is to hope that after the expansion, we can build a football field. The island's recreational activities are too difficult to carry out. ”

"As long as they can be carried out on the basketball court, they all take turns to organize, one-third of the time of military training, one-third of the time of political education, one-third of the time of recreational activities, in short, neither let the officers and soldiers be tired, nor can they be idle. Problems will arise when you are idle, but you can't always do training and political education every day, and the few recreational activities that you turn over and over are also boring, and it would be much easier to do if you had a football field, and you can carry out a five-kilometer cross-country. ”

Peng Jiaxing said a lot like a machine gun.

Grassroots cadres know best what grassroots officers and men need most, and you may not feel much about defending islands and reefs for a day or two, and you may be able to hold out for a month or two, but if you are more than half a year, you can do as little as one or two days, or as long as several years, and the problem becomes more and more prominent. The fact that it is a remote and arduous unit in a sensitive sea area has further increased the mental pressure on the officers and men.

Therefore, on Peng Jiaxing's side, ensuring the ideological stability and vitality of the troops is absolutely in the first place.

Guan Haiyang said to Peng Jiaxing, "What to deploy is not something you should care about and suggest, but the question of the daily life of the troops that you raised, Political Commissar Li, I think it is very reasonable." ”

Li Mu said with a smile, "Major Peng, I don't dare to guarantee the rest, but the football field, I dare to pack tickets, there is absolutely no problem." ”

Mayor Hou said, "Major Peng, let me tell you, the latest expansion is for an island town with a population of 100,000, and the football field is too small. ”

Peng Jiaxing nodded happily and said, "This is great, the place is big enough to fully carry out training and activities, it's very good, very good......

As he spoke, his eyes condensed in the end, and he subconsciously opened his mouth wide, "Ten, one hundred thousand people?"

He looked at Li Mu incredulously.

Everyone laughed, and Li Mu greeted everyone, "Eat, eat, and talk after eating." ”

After dinner, Peng Jiaxing had a short meeting, and Peng Jiaxing introduced the specific situation of YS Reef to the inspection team, and many of the situation on the ground were more vividly and comprehensively. He mainly focused on the surrounding environmental situation.

Next, Li Mu and Guan Haiyang stayed in the conference room to hold their meeting, Wang Guoqing and Song Xiaojiang stood guard at the door from left to right, and no one was allowed to approach.

The atmosphere in the small conference room was much more solemn than before, and when it came to the military aspect, the situation was not optimistic. Offshore oil and gas exploration in less than two days can attract so much harassment, and it is conceivable what kind of external environment you will face if you want to make a big move at YS Reef.

Guan Haiyang said in a deep voice, "Let's build a lot here, the Yankees will definitely come to make trouble." They will frequently engage in so-called freedom of navigation, affecting our construction fleet. ”

Li Mu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Therefore, the construction period must be compressed within three years, and the navy and coast guard law enforcement forces will also make every effort to maintain the normal construction of the project." ”

Guan Haiyang thought for a moment and said, "Political Commissar Li, YS Jiao, will the YS Island be deployed with an air defense missile system in the future? ”

Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "There is no need to dwell on this issue at all. Regardless of whether or not the relevant air defense missile systems will be deployed, infrastructure construction must be done well, and localities must be reserved. The relevant positions are not being built now, and they will be built sooner or later in the future. ”

After a pause, he said, "We can analyze it this way, if the airfield on YS Island requires the necessary accommodation of a regiment of fighters for combat deployment, what standard air defense system is needed, it is easy to draw conclusions." ”

Guan Haiyang thought thoughtfully, "That's easy to do." ”

Li Mu asked, "How to build the defense system, talk about your thoughts." ”

Guan Haiyang had already been prepared, saying, "For 100 kilometers of air defense, there must be at least three layers of air defense means, ranging from 100 kilometers of long-range to 10 kilometers of short-range. On the sea side, our department believes that it is necessary to deploy long-range land-based anti-ship missiles with a maximum range of at least 300 kilometers. At the same time, land-based sea-to-sea attack artillery also needs to be deployed in a certain number to deal with low-intensity armed conflicts. ”

"It's very comprehensive, air defense is the top priority, and the threat on the water is not so difficult to deal with. Li Mu nodded slightly, "But you still missed a little, why didn't you take the anti-submarine defense function into account?"

Guan Haiyang shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Political Commissar Li, after all, it is only a small island, and you can only choose two of the three, and land-based anti-submarine has no other means than deploying anti-submarine aircraft, so it is not taken into account." ”

Li Mu waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, don't distinguish between them, anti-ship, air defense, and anti-submarine are all components of the defense system, why should they be separated, when we engage in this defense system, we must take into account the modularization of functions, so that the defense system has comprehensive defense capabilities." In the event of a war, this island can provide some support for the fleet, and even serve as an important fulcrum on the battlefield. Think long-term. ”

Rao had previously learned Li Mu's courage to change a population of 10,000 into a population of 100,000 with a wave of his hand, and Guan Haiyang was also shocked at this time. If this continues, Guam will have to bow to the wind, and Guam, with a population of less than 200,000, is an ocean island with an area of more than 500 square kilometers.

It took Guan Haiyang for a while to stabilize his mind and said, "Political Commissar Li, let's be realistic." ”

"I'm not kidding. Li Mu Zhengse said, "Minister Guan, after returning from this inspection, I will formally submit a plan, not only YS Reef, but also several other islands and reefs, must be expanded to improve the living environment of the officers and soldiers guarding the islands and reefs." At the level of national defense strategy and military strategy, it is also necessary to study and analyze these islands and reefs in a unified manner, and which islands should be built with which national defense strategic projects should be built to make up for each other and form a large overall defense system. Not only do I need you and me to work on this plan, but I also need you and me to sign it together. ”

Guan Haiyang subconsciously sat up straight, his chest was boiling, Li Mu's words completely ignited the fire of enthusiasm that he had endured for many years as a soldier, and he said, "Political Commissar Li, I am extremely honored!"

He believes that Li Mu has a tough relationship behind him, and his behavior can be regarded as representative, and even represents the direction of the decision-making level, Guan Haiyang is completely unaware that everything Li Mu said and planned, including the ideas put forward by the three of them at the previous meeting, are all his personal ideals, and it is still unknown whether they can be realized!

However, Li Mu at least blew the bull out.

Guan Haiyang didn't know, Li Mu dragged him into his tank, and it was completely unknown whether overtaking in high-speed off-road corners would overturn or pass the corners smoothly......
