Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Shao Xianyong quoted a poem by Du Fu, but Li Zheng actually quoted two poems. One is a line from "Conong Jun Xing" written by Yang Jiong in the Tang Dynasty, and the other is from "Two Songs on the Fortress" by Dai Shulun. "A sentence from ".

However, the original sentence was "If I wish to serve my country with this life, why should I be born in Yumen Pass", Li Zheng changed it to "I wish to serve my country with this life and do not love Yumen Pass".

After the change, it became even more tragic.

So this is what shocked Shao Xianyong.

Li Zheng, this young man is really like half a son to Shao Xianyong.

Because Shao Xiaoqian is an only daughter and the apple of his eye.

There are so many young talents who want to be their son-in-law.

Among them, there are many people with higher academic qualifications than Li Zheng.

But in terms of courage, responsibility, fearlessness, and perseverance, no one can match Li Zheng.

“Seeing words is like seeing people.”

After a long moment, he sighed and nodded slightly.

"Yes, your handwriting is worse than mine, but your poetry is better than mine."

After saying that, he laughed, put the pen in the basin to soak, and smiled at Li Zheng: "Today's competition between us is a draw!"

When the meal was served, Li Yueqin was in particularly high spirits.

He asked Li Zheng if he drank. Li Zheng looked at Shao Xianyong, and Shao Xianyong said without raising his head: "Drink a little."

Li Yueqin happily went to get two bottles of wine, one was white wine and the other was red wine.

"Lao Shao, you and Li Zheng are drinking this bottle tonight."

As he spoke, he handed over the wine in his hand.

Shao Xianyong took it and looked at it, his eyes lit up: "I have kept this wine for 20 years. I remember that Lao Chen gave me two bottles when he changed his career. We originally agreed to make it at a party ten years later, but I didn't expect... "

This bottle of wine is Bai Porcelain Fen produced in 1994. It has been around for some time and is very rare nowadays.

Lao Chen, a native of Shanxi, was Shao Xianyong's old partner in the army more than 20 years ago. However, he changed careers. The two had a good relationship. They agreed to drink this bottle of wine together at a party ten years later.

Unexpectedly, a few years after Lao Chen changed his career and returned home, he was suddenly diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and died within a year.

Later, during the ten-year party, Shao Xianyong took one of the bottles to Lao Chen's grave, where he poured it for him. He sprinkled one cup on the tombstone and drank one cup himself.

In the end, this bottle had been kept in the cabinet at home, but Li Yueqin took it out easily today.

The transparent glue on the bottle cap has become brittle. Shao Xianyong sealed it with several layers of plastic wrap. The wine had not run far yet. After tearing it open and unscrewing the cap, the aroma was fragrant, a little more mellow and a little less domineering.

"Bring here the cup."

He glanced at Li Zheng.

Li Zheng said quickly: "I'll pour the wine."

Shao Xianyong thought for a while, but did not refuse and handed the bottle to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng filled their small wine glasses, then picked up a glass and placed it in front of Shao Xianyong.

Shao Xianyong held the small wine glass, looked at the color of the wine, and smelled the wine. He thought of his old friend and sighed: "Lao Chen was the first one in our military region to propose that the military reform must move toward mechanization, digitization, and battalion-level synthesis. Officers on the road to development. The first Gulf War shocked us greatly..."

As he talked, Shao Xianyong drank all the wine in his glass as if he was remembering Lao Chen back then.

Li Yueqin quickly gave Shao Xianyong a piece of braised pork: "Why don't you eat some food and then drink? Why are you in such a hurry? You're not a young man anymore, you get drunk easily!"

Seeing Shao Xianyong mention the past, Li Zheng's heart moved.

He is clear about the history of military development.

During the first Gulf War, the PLA was still organized in an old-fashioned combat organization, basically based on the Soviet-style large-corps combat model of divisions, regiments and battalions.

Since during that war, we saw that Country Y was forced to use missiles to clean the ground, electromagnetic suppression, destruction of command systems, penetration behind enemy lines and guided strikes to directly press the Y Army to the ground for more than a month. PLA The process of modern military reform began.

However, the reform goal formulated that year was to "win local wars under high-tech conditions." The direction of military reform was also mechanization and digitalization, and the concept of "battalion-level synthesis" was not mentioned.

But Shao Xianyong mentioned that his old partner Lao Chen proposed this concept, so he couldn't help but ask: "Dad's old comrade-in-arms is still very forward-looking." Shao Xianyong smiled and said: "I did this for this matter back then. I also argued with him, I think the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time and the road has to be walked step by step, but Lao Chen was very radical back then and believed that the sooner the better, for this matter the sooner the better..."

Li Zheng really didn't understand why Shao Xianyong suddenly talked about these past events with him.

However, since the chief wanted to talk, he must have his reasons, so he listened quietly.

Shao Xianyong continued: "Although we have now carried out synthetic reform, whether this synthetic method is good or not and whether it can best meet the needs of future wars cannot be tested by one or two exercises. It needs to be more concrete. , to test it in a model that is closer to actual combat.”

His eyes turned to Li Zheng: "You study special operations. Have you ever conducted research on synthetic operations and joint operations?"

Li Zheng said: "When I was a graduate, I had elective courses on contract tactics and joint operations at the Lu Academy."

Shao Xianyong said: "After all, what you learned is what the Army does. Do you know why you are asked to go to the Navy for a year?"

Li Zheng said: "It is to familiarize me with the navy's command process and voyage command."

Shao Xianyong nodded: "Well, it seems you are not stupid."

Li Zheng smiled.

On the other hand, Shao Xiaoqian was dissatisfied and said, "Dad, of course your son-in-law is not stupid, he is a master's student."

Shao Xianyong was also happy and laughed: "He is a monk halfway. He used to study law. You think I don't know? Now he is not serving in the military court, so his previous major is basically useless."

After a pause, he said to Li Zheng: "It doesn't matter if you become a monk halfway. As long as you have a high level of understanding and study diligently, you will still achieve good results. By the way, the leaders of your group army think highly of you. They mentioned that you should be here more than half a year ago." Hold a position in a more important position and give full play to your strengths. It is said that leaving you as a company commander in the special operations brigade is too unqualified. I suppressed you and did not let you be promoted. I will tell you this today. Will you? What do you think of me?"

Li Zheng shook his head: "I believe in your vision and foresight. Just as you safely handed Xiaoqian into my hands and let me take care of her for the rest of her life, you don't let me be promoted for the time being. Of course, you have your reasons. What I need is not to think about it." Should I, but should think more about 'can I do it?'"

These words made Shao Xianyong's eyes shine.

Looking at Li Zheng in front of him, he liked him more and more, and he felt quite elated.

"The troops will not bury their talents."

He picked up the cup.

"Come on, let's go together?"

Li Zheng quickly raised his glass, clinked it with Shao Xianyong, and drank it all in one gulp.

The wine glass was quickly filled again by Li Zheng.

"What do you think about synthesis?" Shao Xianyong asked.

Li Zheng said: "I think synthesis is more flexible, and the command is flatter and faster. The essence of synthesis itself is rapidity and modularity, but it is not without its shortcomings."

"Tell me about the shortcomings." Shao Xianyong said.

Li Zheng took advantage of the drunkenness and boldly expressed his opinion: "One of the aspects is that it is too expensive. It is very expensive to directly equip the synthetic troops at the battalion level, which is almost several times the cost of forming a normal army. times, it also brings about the simplification of troop planning. If it is a large-scale war, if the battalion-level synthesis is not supported by a large number of reserve troops, it will be completely consumed by only a few elite troops in a few battles. Therefore, The prerequisite for synthesis is to have enough reserve forces and reserve forces to supplement resources, otherwise it will just be a wave."

Shao Xianyong nodded slightly: "Are there any other shortcomings?"

Li Zheng nodded: "Yes. Another aspect is that the integration of small establishments has high requirements on soldiers. To deploy armor, artillery, engineers and other services at the battalion level means that a large number of professional skills are required to master various equipment. For commanders of combined units, they need composite talents who are proficient in multiple majors and even cross-arms to be competent. This not only requires the soldiers to have high cultural quality, but also requires high training costs without strong military support. , can’t even afford to burn it.”

Shao Xianyong continued to nod.

He was very pleased.

Li Zheng, the son-in-law...

Not bad!

really not bad!
When he arrived, he suddenly asked Li Zheng: "If you are placed in the position of commander of the synthetic force, as an officer with special forces background, do you think you are qualified for the job?"

Li Zheng raised his glass.

Shao Xianyong raised his glass.

After doing it, Li Zheng answered Shao Xianyong in a decisive tone: "I can!"

Ask for a monthly pass!
