Chapter 1276 The Iraq War is Not Over

After participating in the large-scale production of 45nm process chips, Liu Tao did not leave Sichuan immediately, but inspected Panshan Group's production bases in Sichuan, including military production bases and civilian production bases.

Some of these production bases are very large, often tens of square kilometers or even hundreds of square kilometers, equivalent to occupying a town.

For example, the Rongcheng tank and armored vehicle production base, the factory area alone has reached 30,000 acres, which is 20 square kilometers. Add the test field, dormitory area, etc., and it has reached 50 square kilometers.

And this 50 square kilometers is not under the jurisdiction of Rongcheng, but under the jurisdiction of the Rongcheng tank and armored vehicle production base.

Such a super-large tank and armored production base, whether in terms of land area or production scale, is far beyond the First Machine Factory.

At the gate, the sculpture of a man casting a sword is still standing, which is a warning to everyone in the base that they are casting swords for the country.

At the beginning, the Rongcheng tank and armored vehicle production base was fully closed. Later, as the trend of the times changed, it became semi-closed.

The entire Rongcheng tank and armored vehicle production base is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. I don't know how many foreign intelligence personnel have been caught here.

Liu Tao comes here every year to inspect, walk around the production workshop, and chat with grassroots employees to understand the most real situation.

This kind of thing of deceiving superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates cannot be eliminated even in Panshan Group.

If you trust all the people below you, then you will become a blind and deaf person, deceived by your subordinates.

Liu Tao never completely believes the reports of his subordinates. He walks around and takes a look every year, and uses his own eyes to see and listen.

Although it is said that there must be trust between people, you must also remember a saying: listen to both sides and you will be enlightened, listen to only one side and you will be confused.

Then I went to the research institute. The research institute here is responsible for improving tanks and armored vehicles and developing the next generation of tanks and armored vehicles.

Since the development of the third-generation main battle tank in 1980, more than 20 years have passed. The main battle tanks of the major military powers in the world now have some third-generation main battle tanks.

Under such circumstances, the United States, Russia, and Germany are all developing the fourth-generation main battle tank.

China is no exception. Since last year, it has started to establish a new generation of main battle tanks, which is expected to be successfully developed by 2015~2020.

This time, Liu Tao did not use the golden finger and did it himself.

Because this is to cultivate a talent team, and the construction of a talent team is more important than anything else.

With a talent team, various weapons can be continuously developed.

Liu Tao is only a person in the end, and there will be a day when he will die, and he has to consider his afterlife.

If he does too much, resulting in a talent gap and a lack of sufficient talent team, then China's revival will only be temporary, not sustainable.

If China wants to be strong for fifty years, a hundred years, or even forever, then the talent construction in various fields cannot stop, and new talents must continue to emerge.

The six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue were held smoothly.

After the first underground nuclear explosion in North Korea, propaganda slogans of nuclear countries can be seen everywhere, and the self-esteem of the nation and the country has been greatly enhanced at this moment.

However, the brazen nuclear test not only did not increase the bargaining chips, but made itself more isolated.

With funds from all sides frozen and gold reserves limited, it was even more difficult to get out of the predicament.

Under huge international pressure, North Korea sang karaoke and distributed karaoke accompaniment machines to the troops to reduce the tension in the troops and boost the morale of the troops.

But this also made North Korea recognize the reality. Against this background, this round of six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue was held.

Faced with huge pressure, North Korea agreed to the requirements of relevant parties, but also took this opportunity to exchange for relevant interests.

A clear timetable and a clear attitude dissipated the entire tense atmosphere.

It seemed that all of a sudden, the world was left with only the Iranian nuclear issue.

This put Persia under greater international pressure!

After all, Persia did not really need the world and could completely separate from the world.

But it is obvious that there are too many things involved in nuclear weapons, and it is difficult for Persia to get support.

Especially after the resolution of the North Korean nuclear issue, Persia was under greater international pressure.

After continuous ideological work for Persia, Persia finally softened its attitude and agreed to hold negotiations.

The international consensus that the five permanent members possess nuclear weapons has been further strengthened.

In September, George Walton admitted that the Iraq War was not over.

Since the victory in the Iraq War was announced on Christmas, it seems that the war has ended all of a sudden.

But this is not the case. In 2006, Iraq was full of violence and bloodshed. The US troops stationed in Iraq and the anti-US forces in Iraq were in fierce confrontation, the sectarian conflict intensified, and the number of casualties rose sharply. This year, the number of US troops killed in Iraq has approached 3,000, and the total number of injured has exceeded 20,000.

Turkey did not get the benefits it wanted, and was also facing the territorial secession of the Kurdish armed forces. It was angry and withdrew the Turkish army back to Turkey and prepared to fight the Kurdish armed forces.

Japan, South Korea and other countries only left part of their troops in Iraq and continued to maintain the flag of the joint forces, but the number of joint forces was greatly reduced.

After occupying Iraq, the United States tried to "reform" Iraq according to its own will, establish a temporary government, and support puppets to come to power, but it triggered a strong backlash of anti-American sentiment in Iraq and even the Middle East. Integration is also the most important reason for the current chaos in Iraq.

In addition, after the Iraq War, the contradictions between various political forces in Iraq in the process of power redistribution have become increasingly intensified.

Faced with this dilemma and the strong response caused by media reports in the United States, George Wharton had to admit for the first time that the United States did not win the Iraq War.

Facts have proved that the invasion war in the new era is becoming more and more difficult to fight. Iraq, a country with a small land area, does not have too complex terrain, which is suitable for mechanized warfare. The Iraq War has been fought like this, and the subsequent public security is even more difficult to maintain. It is simply bleeding.

The same situation also occurred in Afghanistan.

The front line in Afghanistan is constantly changing. The coalition forces control this area for a while, and then lose it soon. The Afghan guerrillas are elusive. It is difficult to achieve great success by relying on special operations. The guerrillas have accumulated rich experience in anti-special operations.

After destroying this group of guerrillas, another group of guerrillas will appear, and they can never be completely destroyed.

Moreover, extremist organizations have emerged one after another in the world, all of which are hostile to the United States and its allies.

Americans have found it embarrassing that the more they fight terrorism, the more terrorism they have.

The means of retaliation by extremist organizations are rich and varied, making it difficult to defend against them.

Even the United States has to start discussing whether to implement a strict gun ban and a strict security inspection system to combat extremist organizations.

However, as soon as this discussion started, it was strongly opposed, for example, it was an infringement of citizens' rights to freedom and democracy. (End of this chapter)
