The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 323 Set a goal, what if you achieve it?

Liu Tao gently drew a line on the map, and the line was very straight.

To the north of the straight line are Dien Bien Province, Lai Chau Province, Lao Cai Province, Ha Giang Province, Yen Bai Province, Bac Kan Province, Cao Bang Province, Lang Son Province, Quang Ninh Province, Bac Giang Province, Phu Tho Province and Son La Province, with an area of ​​nearly 10 square kilometers.

Although most of it is covered with mountains and forests, the terrain is dangerous and its strategic position is extraordinary.

It can be beneficial to the construction of FCG City and BH City.

Although it is a mountainous area, it is actually much better than other places in Yun Province.

Except for a few mountains with an altitude of more than 2000 meters, there are not many mountains with an altitude of more than 1000 meters.

The entire Annam is narrow and long, with high terrain in the west and low terrain in the east. Three-quarters of the territory is mountainous and plateau. The north and northwest are high mountains and plateaus. The main peak of Hoang Lien Mountain, Fansipan Peak, is 3142 meters above sea level, the highest peak in Annam; the west is the Truong Son Mountain Range, which is more than 1000 kilometers long and runs from north to south. The west slope is gentle, forming the Western Highlands in Gia Lai-Kon Tum, Dak Lak and other provinces. The central Truong Son Mountain Range runs from north to south, with some low mountain passes. The eastern coastal area is a plain with low terrain, dense river networks, and an altitude of about 3 meters.

Huanglian Mountain is located north of this line.

The entire line is about 580 kilometers long and covers an area of ​​about 10 square kilometers. The line is very beautiful, but it is not easy to implement it.

Of course, it is not impossible.

After all, nothing is impossible on the battlefield.

What you gain on the battlefield can ultimately be gained at the negotiating table.

Li Fuguo and his colleagues discussed this classic defensive counterattack until eleven o'clock.

And this is only the first day. They will continue to study this battle and learn from it.

Liu Tao naturally will not stay in Ma Long's training base forever.

Li Fuguo will stay at the Ma Long Training Base for a long time. As for Liu Tao and Zhao Guoping, they have a lot of things to do. Liu Tao may not go to the Ma Long Training Base once a month, and Zhao Guoping spends almost one-third of the time at the Ma Long Training Base.

When Liu Tao and his friends were having supper, Liu Tao took out the map and pointed to the line he had drawn.

Zhao Guoping didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This is difficult to achieve. Now is not the past."

Nowadays, not many people will pay attention to such a small-scale war.

Moreover, in the eyes of the two world hegemons, the Soviet Union and the United States, this was their proxy war.

But if it is such a big deal, it will be different and will attract too many people's attention.

"Just because it's difficult to achieve doesn't mean it's impossible, right?" Liu Tao smiled faintly, "Sometimes, we have to learn from Third Brother."

Mercenaries are also active in Sikkim and Bhutan, and they are always trying to stir up trouble.

"There are a lot of mountains and plateaus here, and the terrain is very complicated. It is really not easy to achieve this step." Li Fuguo looked at the line drawn by Liu Tao. Hanoi and Haiphong, the two most important cities in Annan, are less than 20 kilometers away.

Looking at the terrain again, it is very complex, with dense mountains, forests, rivers, etc.

"The frontline is training troops continuously now. Won't they continue to infiltrate southwards? This is a good thing. After fighting for another ten or eight years, maybe the front line will be here." Liu Tao said without comment.

Now Annan has the support of the polar bear, and his attitude is quite arrogant and tough.

Peace talks between the two sides on the border could not be held because of the other side's arrogant and tough attitude.

But China's love for peace has been seen by the whole world.

The fault is not with China, but with Annan's ambition and arrogance. "Now that the Vietnamese troops in Laos and Cambodia have been repelled, they will definitely leave some troops to garrison there. The troops that can be transferred to the north are limited. We should slowly grind and fight for another ten or eight years, and it should be enough," Liu Tao said.

For China, this level of fighting is not felt even in Kun City, let alone other places in China.

But it was different for Annan. It was the biggest matter for the whole country, a matter of life and death.

This is why until now, even if it suffers heavy losses, Annan has to continue sending troops to launch attacks.

"Let the special forces conduct infiltration and reconnaissance in the south and make preliminary preparations." Liu Tao said, "We are moving towards this goal. The goal is a bit big, but what if it is achieved?"

Once this goal is achieved, the benefits will be enormous.

Not to mention the 10 square kilometers of land, just the two coastal cities of Fangchenggang and BH City can be built with confidence, which is of great significance.

"Okay, I will let the special forces continue to infiltrate and conduct reconnaissance to the south." Li Fuguo nodded. Since Liu Tao said so, they had to do as Liu Tao said.

And once successful, it will be about expanding territory.

Which soldier doesn't want to expand territory?
Expanding territory has been considered a glorious military achievement since ancient times.

Li Fuguo said to Liu Tao: "Director, our three combined brigades are facing a huge equipment shortage. If we want to go to the front line to participate in the battle, we must get enough equipment."

"Now the soldiers of the other two brigades are quite dissatisfied with this. They say that our personnel are fully staffed but the equipment is still very poor," said Li Fuguo.

Faced with Li Fuguo's debt collection, Liu Tao also had a headache.

"The tank production base in Shancheng has been built. We will speed up the delivery of these equipment to you in the future. Don't rush us. We will definitely give them to you if they are available. It's useless to rush us if we don't have them." Liu Tao said unhappily, "Comrade Zhao Guoping is in charge of the weapons industry now. He knows the equipment production best."

Zhao Guoping said, "This matter cannot be rushed. We are also trying every possible way to increase production capacity. We are now building a special tank gun foundry, engine production plant, artillery shell factory, etc. Once these supporting factories are completed and improved, production capacity will be further increased."

The three combined forces brigades require too much heavy equipment.

Heavy tanks, medium tanks, light tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled howitzers, self-propelled mortars, self-propelled rocket launchers, etc.

Now Panshan Group still focuses on military trade, earning more profits for its own rapid development.

In this case, the three combined brigades can only be wronged.

Now among the three combined brigades, the heavy combined brigade has relatively complete equipment, but there are still large gaps in the medium and light combined brigades.

But the speed of equipment delivery is increasing.

It is expected that by the end of next year or the middle of the year after, the required equipment will be fully delivered to the three combined brigades.

By then, the combined brigade will be fully staffed with both manpower and equipment.

Besides, the export version of tanks and self-propelled anti-aircraft guns will also give the three combined brigades some training time, so the training is still acceptable.

Liu Tao said, "Did you hear that? It's not that I, as the factory director, don't want to give you equipment, but it takes time. Next time I go to Beijing, I will complain to the leader and give you a few more Black Hawk helicopters."

There are now a total of four Black Hawk helicopters equipped by the three combined brigades. This number is not large, but at the level of the current Chinese infantry division and brigade, it is definitely extremely luxurious.

Of course, the money for importing these Black Hawk helicopters was paid by Panshan Group itself.
