"This is the real modern warfare! I'll just say that the end of tactics is still light infantry! ”

"Light infantry send it alone, do you think this is really a light infantry tactic? This is an extension of heavy armor to individual soldiers, and that thing can still be called light infantry? Have you ever seen a light infantryman with an electrified outfit, a bazooka and a grenade on his back, and a light machine gun in his hand? ”

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, it is not the credit of the light infantry that the satellite drones in the sky, the mobile network composed of armored personnel carriers and helicopters on the ground, the combat command system and the cloud decision-making platform at the virtual level really make me feel like an eye-opener."

"Yes, I feel that my perception of war has been turned upside down - the last time I felt this way was in '03, even if it was an exercise in Saudi Arabia, I actually didn't think it was a big deal."

"It's just that the command efficiency and scheduling efficiency have improved, and in essence, it is still the same as the old United States."

"But now it's really completely different, in modern warfare, can people become the core again? I couldn't have imagined that in any way. ”

"This is also related to the operational nature of this operation, for the liquidation of light firepower and armed forces, this kind of fight is the most appropriate, if it is a large-scale group operation, it is estimated that it is another way of fighting."

"It's another way of playing, but no matter what the style of play, the 'heavy infantry tactic' should leave a mark in the history of warfare - its significance is not even weaker than the first appearance of heavy cavalry in history."

"Indeed. If it is said that the United States has pulled the upper limit of modern warfare to a height that small countries cannot afford to fight, Huaxia's tactics have directly pulled the lower limit of modern warfare to the extent that even major countries can struggle with it. ”

"In the future, every soldier of mine will be a heavy firepower point with abundant martial virtues, and even the kind that can have a major impact on armored units, how can this battle be fought?"

"That's right. I remember that ww said that they were going to blow up our 99A with a bazooka, but I didn't expect that the awesome thing they blew out was actually realized by us."

In the office, Chen Nianle looked at the comments of netizens on the Kandahar operation, and this series of speeches made him inexplicably feel a little familiar.

He still remembers that in 2003, when he was just reborn, everyone reacted to the results of the war in Iraq in a similar way as they do now.

Disruptive technology, subversive tactics, people can't help but feel afraid, afraid that in the next second, missiles from high altitudes will fall on our own heads.

But now, while the situation is similar, people's emotions are completely different.

Because, we are the protagonists.

We are the ones who can "throw missiles at other people's heads at any time" and can even use heavy infantry tactics to wipe out guerrilla units.

——

But would anyone be disgusted with such a persona?

Of course not, that's the biggest source of security.

Thinking of this, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He turned his head to look at Li Xiang on the side, and said:

"Time has changed, in 2003, I thought about really fighting a battle to suppress the prestige of Lao Mei."

"At that time, I still wanted to use more advanced fighters and more advanced missiles, like the old United States, to give them a little shock in the 'non-contact' range."

"But I didn't expect that when the time came, it was our army that would be the first to achieve results."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

Li Xiang hurriedly interrupted Chen Nian.

"That's Lao Ba's army, and we didn't participate in this operation."

Looking at Li Xiang's expression, Chen Nian couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Of course, he also understands Li Xiang's sensitivity to this statement.

No matter what the substance is, in terms of form, it is still necessary to do things within the rules.

So he replied:

"Okay, okay. I'm not going to talk nonsense to the outside world, so let's talk about it in private, right? ”

"It's called basic vigilance. But seriously, this battle really made me feel exaggerated. ”

Li Xiang knocked on the information on the table and continued:

"Do you know how much battle damage you had? 1:170。 ”

"This is a close battle between ground troops, and the total casualties of the Pakistani special response force are less than 300, of which the core elite troops have only 39 casualties, 9 deaths, and two were blown up by roadside bombs."

"This is really an operation to beat children, and once the results of the battle are made public in the future, it is estimated that all neighboring countries will settle down."

"After all, they can't fight heavy equipment, and they can't fight street battles and law and order wars in cities, so it's really nothing to do."

Hearing this, Chen Nian suddenly had some doubts.

"Speaking of which, shouldn't it have been clear a long time ago? On the other side of the plateau, the Indian side and us did not have a few cold-weapon conflicts, and we were beaten so that we didn't even know our mother. ”

"After all, it's a cold weapon, and the deterrent power is not enough - they will feel that all beings are equal under the bullet."

The corners of Li Xiang's mouth hooked an arc, and then continued:

"But the things in Kandahar tell them that if I have a cannon on my back, then I am more equal than you."

Chen Nian also laughed, and after thinking for a moment, he skipped the topic of the operation itself and asked instead:

"After this battle, the situation in the Middle East can basically be stabilized, right?"

"Theoretically, there wasn't much of a problem, and we showed our muscles this time and we performed perfectly."

"The only uncertainty now comes from the truth of the Rasraqueira incident."

Li Xiang's expression became a little serious, and he hesitated for a moment before he spoke:

"We still don't know for sure where the group that led the sabotage came from, and the current investigation suggests that the PMK may have been involved in the operation, but the problem is that we don't have any direct evidence and we don't know what motives they did."

"In addition, we confirmed with the Russian top brass that they did not issue such orders to the PMK, and if it is finally determined that they are related to the incident, then it should be the Russian oil and gas oligarchy behind the command."

"This is a very bad tendency, and we are afraid that Russia will be divided because of its interests, creating new instability for us."

"The need for stability maintenance has begun to expand to the world."

Chen Nian sighed and said.

"Who's to say it isn't? It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to defend the country. ”

"Now, the country has not been completely defeated, and we have begun to face the problem of defending the country."

"Anyway, the investigation will continue. Until the final result is out, we can only . I saw the opportunity to act. ”

Chen Nian nodded solemnly.

He felt a sense of crisis again for the first time in a long time, because he realized that beyond the ZZ conflicts on the table, there were many dark corners on the other side of the world that could not be fully controlled.

And the bacteria and viruses that grow from these corners are also likely to become a major problem for China in the future

"No matter what, things on the ground always have to be dealt with clearly."

"But then again, Chang'e-5 is also about to be launched, has the screening process for a group of Chang'e-6 personnel been launched?"

"It's already started."

Li Xiang nodded and replied:

"Chang'e-6 is of great significance, and according to the instructions of the superiors, the personnel list will be extended to the level of non-professional astronauts."

"After all, the lunar base is not just a scientific research base, in fact, it is an industrial base."

"So the selection of personnel may be more focused. Symbolism. ”

And while Chen Nian and Li Xiang were discussing the "grand narrative" about this world, on the other side, somewhere in the world, the ordinary life of an ordinary person was also undergoing silent changes.

Yangquan, a mining city that is not small, the last sunset has disappeared into the night, but on the stadium of the factory staff dormitory, Zhang Xuemin did not stop running.

——

No one was chasing him from behind, he wasn't a professional sportsman, and he ran for the simple purpose of exercising.

In fact, this exercise activity is something he has been doing since two months ago, and to this day, he hasn't broken a single day.

Many admired his perseverance, but similarly, many laughed at his absurdity.

The reason is simple, the purpose of his running does seem to be a little too much. Whimsical.

At the end of the last lap, Zhang Xuemin sat down on the edge of the stadium in rough clothes, and a former worker walked up to him with a slightly ridiculous smile on his face and asked:

"What's the matter, it's done today? How many laps do you run? ”

Zhang Xuemin wiped a handful of sweat and replied:

"Thirty-two laps, almost 10 kilometers, today is an improvement - hey, don't talk about it, running this thing, it's getting more and more energetic."

"When I first started running, I was out of breath after two or three laps, and now, I can't run 10 laps without shaking my hands!"

"Awesome!"

The worker gave a thumbs up and continued:

"When will you be able to run on the moon if you run so fast?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Xuemin's expression immediately changed.

He glared at his co-worker in displeasure and said:

"Lao He, forget it if others come to laugh at me, you also come to me to say such strange things?"

"I don't affect others, what's wrong with running?"

Lao He waved his hand and smiled, and said with a haha:

"Oh, let's just have fun, don't you know? It's just a joke. ”

"And if you say that others laugh at you, they may not all be malicious-—— everyone is now suspended from work and unemployed, and everyone is busy looking for jobs, and they are all anxious."

"Just you, day by day, like you have no heart and lungs, and you still say what you want to go to the moon, what kind of mines to dig on the moon, you say that when you hear this in other people's ears, can they have no idea?"

"Any thoughts? Or they'll go too! ”

Zhang Xuemin snorted lightly and continued:

"If you really want to go to the moon, it's not that easy."

"Look at me, running is only one aspect, physical fitness must keep up, but scientific literacy cannot be left behind."

"I've already prepared for the adult self-exam, and I've basically read everything on the national science database."

"Ask them, do you have my heart?"

Lao He didn't know how to answer for a while - in fact, Zhang Xuemin's "want to go to the moon" is really not just a joke.

He has made a lot of efforts to achieve this goal, including not only the exercise and study he just mentioned, but even the relationship to inquire about the subsequent moon landing plan.

When the Jade Rabbit discovered minerals on the moon before, he was the happiest.

Because he thinks that there is a mine on the moon, and a miner like himself should also have a way out.

It has to be said that he is optimistic – but it is precisely this optimism that makes many workers in the same situation resentful.

It's not hard to see why.

It's all the same people, we're all trying to live on the ground, why are you just looking at the sky?

What's more, you just look at it, you really want to go to heaven

Kind persuasion, neutral ridicule, and malicious abuse are inevitable, but Zhang Xuemin doesn't care about these things.

He just kept doing his thing-—— like crazy.

Or rather, paranoia?

Lao He sighed, as an old friend, he respected Zhang Xuemin's "ideals", but at the same time, he really didn't want to sit back and watch his absurdity.

So, he spoke:

"Lao Zhang, seriously, I still have to persuade you in this matter."

"You always say that we can go to the moon in the future, and you always say that we can mine there, but have you ever thought that even if we really want to mine, it won't be our turn?"

"To what extent has the technology developed now, not to mention whether it is manual or not, even if it is, those astronauts and scientists are enough, what do you want us to do?"

Zhang Xuemin glared at Lao He and replied angrily:

"So you're short-sighted!"

"If it's the early stage, a few people will definitely be enough, but what if it's in the later stage? What if there was a large-scale production base on the moon? ”

"If you look at how fast nuclear fusion is developing now, how long has the factory been built in Hefei, and the power generation has been connected to the grid."

"In the future, there will be more and more such power stations, and sooner or later the raw materials will be insufficient, and at that time, if the cost of mining from the moon is cheaper than extracting deuterium from our earth, then the moon will not develop greatly?"

"Don't talk about automation, no matter how automated it is, it still has to be controlled by people after all, haven't you read the news? The difficulty of artificial intelligence is even higher than that of nuclear fusion."

New terms popped out of Zhang Xuemin's mouth one by one, and Lao He had no way to refute them.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that some of the workers were right

Perhaps, Zhang Xuemin is the kind of "civil science" they say, after learning a few scientific terms, he thought that he really had the identity of a scientist, and he also had unrealistic illusions.

You can't persuade such a person.

It is better for people to teach people than to teach them through things.

Let him go.

Lao He sighed, waved his hand and turned to leave.

And after he left, Zhang Xuemin lay on the ground and began to do push-ups again.

The lights in the distance gradually turned on, and while watching the beads of sweat dripping, Zhang Xuemin secretly thought:

Already 3% of the electricity that lights up these lights comes from nuclear fusion.

What will happen to the world when that number becomes 100%?

What Lao He doesn't know is that in this world, everything that seems to be special is actually just an extremely superficial flicker on a huge, sophisticated, and complex system.

Such a flicker can never be gratuitous and meaningless.

On the contrary, most of the time, the light it emits will be connected with other rays to illuminate the entire cold system
