Chapter 1057: Intensive

February is destined to be an uneasy month.

The Japanese training ship "Ehime" was sunk by the USS "Greenville" nuclear submarine near Oahu, Hawaii. 26 of the 35 people on the "Ehime" were rescued and 9 were missing, including 4 high school students.

When the news came back to Japan, the whole country was in an uproar.

Various conspiracy theories were flying.

These conspiracy theories are very popular in Japan and the United States. Americans have a strong sense of substitution and think that this is probably what they did. After all, the Americans know the United States best. They look down on the Japanese from the bottom of their hearts and regard the Japanese as a dog they raise, not even a younger brother.

There is also a very large market in Japan. Since the Plaza Accord was cheated by the Americans, coupled with the bursting of the bubble, Japan has lost ten years. These years have not been easy, and Japan's national debt has been higher every year. Every time the United States does something, Japan has to contribute money and effort, but it was cheated by the Americans and did not get any benefits. The US troops stationed in Japan also make some trouble from time to time.

This incident made the Japanese very dissatisfied, and the public accused them, leading to tensions in the US-Japan relationship.

Immediately afterwards, the relationship between the Eagle Sauce and the Polar Bear, which was originally very ambiguous, suddenly turned cold.

The cause of the incident was that the US agent Hansen was arrested for allegedly stealing intelligence for the Polar Bear in the past 15 years, which led to increasingly tense relations between the two sides. Subsequently, the Eagle Sauce ordered the expulsion of 50 Polar Bear diplomats, triggering the largest-scale war of expelling each other's spies since 1995.

It can be said that there were many things in February.

China is quietly preparing.

All military factories and all production lines are in operation. Although they do not use double shifts, it is already terrible enough.

The original matter of appropriately lowering the exchange rate was temporarily shelved because of the turmoil after entering 2001.

Strengthening national defense has become a matter that can be said to be a consensus of the whole people.

Strengthening the air force and the navy seems more urgent at this time.

Because no one knows when the Eagle Sauce will suddenly go crazy and choose to run away.

The J-10 and J-11 fighters produced were delivered to the Air Force, and the J-7 series, J-8 series, and JH-7 aircraft were directly flown to South Asia by trained pilots.

In South Asia, even the J-7, J-7A, and Eagle advanced trainer aircraft were put into use on the battlefield.

Pilots were not systematically trained because there was no time. The reserve forces were trained for one month and then flew to the battlefield; others were planned to be trained for three months before going to the battlefield.

College students were enlisted one by one, and pilots were one of the most popular choices.

With this opportunity, China will realize that the Air Force is composed entirely of third-generation aircraft, with the J-10 and J-11 fighters becoming the most important air force, and the Sea Eagle carrier-based aircraft being only equipped on the Type 001 light aircraft carrier.

Not only fighters, but also the ‘Haidongqing’ unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the Raider helicopter, and the Wudiao helicopter are all in mass production, and even the H-6K/S is producing more.

Military transport aircraft, tankers, early warning aircraft, and electronic warfare aircraft are also being produced more.

This is especially true for tanks and armored vehicles.

Currently, more than 70% of Panshan Group's tanks and armored vehicles are export versions and are to be exported.

Some of them were purchased by the Arab coalition forces.

Although the Middle East is generally peaceful, the wars in Africa, Southeast Asia, and South Asia have also made the Middle East feel the breath of war and are also preparing.

In 2001, arms, food and other war-related things are rising, and even the price of gold is rising.

Antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times.

It has been like this since ancient times.

Anti-ship missiles and air defense missiles, different models are being produced. Air defense missiles are specifically used for air defense, while anti-ship missiles are specifically used to attack warships.

Torpedoes, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, etc. are being produced as much as possible.

Even short-range missiles, medium-range missiles, and intercontinental missiles are also being mass-produced.

The troops are also strengthening training and increasing military exercises.

Warfare will lead to death, forgetting war will lead to danger!

To stop war with war, only when you are strong can you solve everything.

As the saying goes, only by being able to fight can we stop the war. The only thing that makes the hegemonists guard is hard power.

Peace must be backed by strong power.

For the army, only by keeping the arrow on the string and ready to go, having the strong power to fight and win the war, and being able to go up and win at any time, can we exchange for real peace.

The army is also accelerating its construction. The original division has been changed to a brigade, and now it has begun to accelerate the construction of synthesis.

The fundamental function of the army is to be able to fight and win, and the fundamental value of soldiers is to deter war and stop war.

However, whether deterring war and stopping war can produce the effect of "defeating the enemy without fighting" depends on three points: the first is strength. Without strength, it is just bluffing; the second is determination. Without determination, strength is useless; the third is knowing the opponent. If the opponent does not know, he may act rashly and it is difficult to form deterrence.

Strength is the basis of deterrence, determination is the soul of deterrence, and knowledge is the means of deterrence. All three are indispensable.

As Clausewitz once warned: "When a country allows its enemy to expand its aggressive ambitions without limit and does not stop it, this country is doomed to begin to decline."

At any time, military means are the bottom line to maintain national security, and military strength is always the trump card and ace to prevent and resolve major risks.

And the more complex the situation is, the stronger the military hand must be.

Only when the army can stand up, be reliable, and win at critical moments, can national security have a bottom line and national rejuvenation have confidence.

Liu Tao came to the air force airport on the southern foot of the Himalayas again, where pilot training is being carried out intensively.

Mainly K8 primary trainer aircraft and J-7, J-7A, and Eagle advanced trainer aircraft, there are more than 50 trainer aircraft here.

How to quickly train pilots is also an important topic currently being studied by China.

In modern warfare, the air force will play a vital role. There is no air superiority on the battlefield. If air superiority is obtained by the opponent, then the tanks and armored vehicles of the ground forces will be live targets and will be "opened". Even infantry will face bombing by enemy aircraft.

Aircraft are easy to produce, but qualified pilots are not easy to train.

Modern military aircraft are becoming more and more advanced, and the requirements for pilots are also getting higher and higher. For example, the academic requirements for pilots have obviously become higher.

Because there are more and more things that pilots need to learn.

Only qualified pilots can better exert the combat effectiveness of military aircraft.

And gold medal pilots can often fully exert the combat effectiveness of fighter jets.

The courses here even have about combat analysis, which just happened this year, for analysis, so as to deepen research and accumulate experience.

Liu Tao inspected the airport to see if the teaching was serious. After all, these are pilots in the near future, and they are crucial.
