Military industrial hegemony

Chapter 34 Bold Ideas

In the morning, Jiang Chen was still sleeping. Because he was very tired after a day of tossing around yesterday, Jiang Chen hadn't woken up yet, and Zhou Zhengzhi didn't send anyone to remind him. This made Jiang Chen enjoy it very much. He didn't rub his head until almost noon. Woke up.Looking at Ma Jun next to him, he didn’t know when he had gone out, and he didn’t care. Anyway, he was used to it. Since Ma Jun came back from the army, he has always maintained the army’s living habits. The expression is dripping and perfect.

When he finished washing up and was about to enjoy his lunch today, the sound of yelling and cursing sounded outside, and it was getting closer. Jiang Chen carefully heard that it was his grandfather's voice. Just as he got up and was about to go out, he pulled A group of people walked in through the curtain, and the leader was his grandfather Lei Zhan.

"What, did you just eat?" Lei Zhan asked, looking at Chen Chen on the table next to Jiang Chen.

"Grandpa!" Jiang Chen scratched the back of his head and said embarrassingly, "Well, it was already late after bumping all the way here yesterday, so I slept through it."

"Well, this habit is not good. Young people should go to bed early and get up early." Lei Zhan sat down at the table and looked at Jiang Chen and said, "Sit down!"

Jiang Chen sat there looking at his grandfather cautiously and asked, "Grandpa, what's the matter, who upset you again?"

Lei Zhan said angrily: "It's not that group of old things who came together to bully our war zone."

Jiang Chen looked at his grandfather and wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh out loud, so he could only hold back until his face contorted.

"Laugh, what are you laughing at? Brat." Lei Zhan glared at Jiang Chen and scolded, "How did you complete what I told you?"

Jiang Chen put his smile back and said seriously: "Don't worry, Grandpa, everything is ready. I brought the best guns we made. It will definitely surprise everyone on the day of the competition."

"Enen, that's good." Only then did Lei Zhan have a good face, he took the chopsticks and started to eat the breakfast prepared for him, and he ate it cleanly: "It's been open all night Yes, I'm starving to death."

Jiang Chen looked at the hiccupping grandfather and said dumbfoundedly, "This, grandpa, this is for me, I haven't eaten yet."

"What, I ate it, you have an opinion." Lei Zhan looked at Jiang Chen and asked with a full belch.

"I have no opinion." Jiang Chen was a little speechless. You ate it all. What do I have to say?

"Haha, brat." Looking at Jiang Chen's resentful eyes, Lei Zhan smiled and said, "Go, I'm preparing one for him, and I can still starve my good grandson in my territory."

"Hey, Grandpa, don't be angry anymore." Jiang Chen smiled flatteringly.

"Hehe, why am I angry when you make me happy?" Lei Zhan watched a little soldier come in with a meal and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat, I'm starving you, and when you go back, your grandma will be annoyed with me again." , after a while, go out for a walk with me, as you get old, you will feel bloated and uncomfortable after eating a little."

"Okay." Jiang Chen replied, and then he finished his lunch like a storm, and Lei Zhan just scolded, why does this brat eat so deliciously.

,,,,,,

Jiang Chen and Lei Zhan walked on the grass outside the camp, enjoying the not too strong sunlight.It was only now that Jiang Chen discovered that what they arrived at yesterday was actually a prairie, and it was early autumn, so there were patches of wild flowers on the slightly undulating turf, which was very beautiful.Jiang Chen is enjoying the good times now. He has basically been working for the past few months, or running back and forth between several points in the city. He has no time to enjoy life at all. Now he feels the beauty of this society. There is not so much natural destruction in later generations, nor is there such noisy tourist harassment, and there is no frequent smog, and his soul has been purified in such a beautiful place.

"Xiaochen, rest here." Lei Zhan found a relatively remote grass and sat down.

"Okay." Jiang Chen also found a seat nearby and sat down.

Lei Zhan looked at the prairie in front of him with a longing expression, and said to himself: "When I retire, I will take your grandmother to live in the countryside, plant two acres of land, and raise two cows..."

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Grandpa, you are still strong and strong, and you can still work for decades. Why are you so anxious to retire?"

"Hehe, brat, you'll comfort me. If I work for decades, I won't be exhausted. I'll retire early, and I still want to have a great-grandson. I, Lei Zhan, have been working for decades and I should take a rest. " Lei Zhan said a little sadly.

Seeing his grandfather's expression, Jiang Chen comforted him and said, "If you want to retire, you can. After Lei Jun and I get married, we will each have a few big fat boys so that you and grandma can have a good time, but I'm afraid that the chief will not let you go." .”

"Hey, what if I don't let go, if this exercise fails, what face do I have to face hundreds of thousands of soldiers whose future is in jeopardy." Lei Zhan sighed a little sadly.

Jiang Chen understood the meaning of these words and comforted him, "Grandpa, you haven't even competed yet, how did you know that you lost."

"If you lose, how can you not lose when you are in the Blue Army?" Lei Zhan said a little annoyed.

"Blue Army? Lose? What kind of logic is this?" Looking at Jiang Chen's puzzled and eager to learn, Lei Zhan said with a sigh.

It turns out that the previous exercises were basically confrontation exercises between the red and blue forces, the blue army defending, and the red army attacking!Planting the flag of the Red/Army on the defensive high ground is considered a victory. Sometimes in some exercises, in order to have a better viewing effect, the Blue Army will even help the Red/Army to plant a red flag on the position. In short, the Red/Army is the last Defeating the blue army won the victory. I have never heard of the blue army defeating the red army. This seems to have become the usual pattern of exercises at that time.

And this exercise is like this. The director of the exercise selected four participating troops from the Northwest, Central China, Southwest and East China as the Blue Army to defend, while the participating troops from the Central, Southeast, South and Northeast China served as the Red/Army Attack!This allocation seems fair, but it is not. The economic level of the troops in the Northwest, Southwest, Central and East China theaters is relatively weak and the military expenditure is insufficient, so the training is not strong, the weapons and equipment are outdated, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not strong.The four theaters of central, southeast, south, and northeast are all key development theaters. The economies of the areas under their jurisdiction are relatively developed, and they are all in the core areas of national strategic defense.Therefore, the military expenditures given are relatively sufficient, the training intensity is high, and weapons and equipment are also given priority in the deployment. This time, even more elite troops are dispatched, and they want to perform well in this exercise.And the three units with relatively poor weapons and equipment in the Northwest Theater, the Southwest Theater and the East China Theater became sparring partners and became the blue army. How can troops with such poor weapons represent the heroic image of our army?It must be the blue army, it must be "eliminated".

Jiang Chen finally figured out the current situation. The feeling is that grandpa doesn't want to win now, but that he can't win at all.Seeing Grandpa's disappointed expression, Jiang Chen thought about how to help him, Jiang Chen thought about it for a while, and suddenly a flash of light came to his mind, and he remembered what a certain grandpa proposed when he came. The concept of "strictly governing the army" is practiced for war, not for watching!During his tenure, he organized a series of exercises. These exercises were all based on actual combat, and everything was close to actual combat. The old practice of the red team defeating the blue army no longer existed. (It may be here) In the exercises organized, the blue army often defeated the red/army, became a sharpening stone in the army, was affirmed by all walks of life, and greatly deterred hostile forces.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately became excited and shouted, "Yes!"

Lei Zhan on the side was taken aback by Jiang Chen's sudden action and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

Jiang Chen said excitedly, "Grandpa, I have the method for you to defeat the red side in the exercise."

Lei Zhan thought Jiang Chen was messing around, he never thought that the blue army could defeat the red army?So he reprimanded: "Don't mess around, we old guys have nothing to do, what can you, a child, do."

"Well, Grandpa, listen to my explanation." Jiang Chen said with a confident look, "Grandpa, let me ask you why our country allocates so much money to organize exercises in various theaters every year."

Although Lei Zhan didn't know what Jiang Chen was doing, he still replied, "Of course it's to simulate the battlefield environment and improve combat effectiveness."

Jiang Chen punched his fist and said excitedly: "That's right, Grandpa, let me tell you, practice for fighting, not for watching, this kind of exercise like now is purely a waste of military expenses. I was in college because my English score was relatively low. Okay, so I will help the library to translate foreign military materials (this excuse is coming again, please, can you change it, the author is annoying.), and I have seen a lot of materials about foreign exercises.”

Seeing his grandfather getting interested, Jiang Chen gulped and continued, "Foreign military exercises are also a confrontation between the red and blue armies, but they are different from us in the back-to-back mode. This back-to-back mode means that the two sides use their own Guided by advanced military theory, under the overall planning of the exercise director department, each of them demonstrated their own military capabilities and commanding skills. The actual combat drills they conducted, starting from the real battlefield environment, truly honed the combat effectiveness of our army. Thinking, since the higher-ups asked us to be the blue army, we should be the blue army, a foreign army that truly simulates defense, and make a sharpening stone for the red army. As for whether they can capture us, it depends on them. If they can't even defeat us, who are weaker, how can they defeat a stronger enemy? You must know that this is the most elite army in our country."

Hearing this, Lei Zhan stayed there for a long time, repeating non-stop: "Practice for battle, not for watching." This sentence, Jiang Chen said so many things he had never heard before, which gave him The revelation was huge, and he seemed to open up new ideas.Thinking of this, Lei Zhan stood up and started to walk quickly to the camp.

Jiang Chen chased after him and shouted, "Grandpa, slow down, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Go and find those old fellows like me!" Lei Zhan hurried away regardless of the guards and waiting staff who rushed over to support him.

,,,,

Because of Jiang Chen’s words, the exercise was postponed, and all the participating troops stood on standby. After seeing that there must be new adjustments, it was not until the third morning that Lei Zhan came back with a red face, and looked at Jiang Chen’s eyes full of anticipation. He laughed loudly: "It's done! The superiors have approved our participation plan. This time I want to let those old guys know how good I am, hum! Even if I can't beat them, I have to break him down." Come on one leg, let them feel the uncomfortable feeling!"
