The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 787 Qilian Mountain Military Base?
After the Gulf War.

Panshan Group was not idle. Part of the tanks and armored vehicles it produced were supplied to Li Fuguo.

These are the gifts given to Li Fuguo and others, and also the dowry.

The equipment that Li Fuguo and his men now possess is extremely terrifying.

There were 80 Type 81 main battle tanks, 81 Type 600 medium tanks and 1800 Type light tanks each, which means that this unit alone was equipped with new tanks.

In addition, there are 81 Type 81 tracked infantry fighting vehicles, Type 3500 wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, transport vehicles, all-terrain vehicles and other vehicles.

120毫米自行迫榴炮350门、122毫米自行火箭炮150门、122毫米自行榴弹炮350门、反坦克导弹发射车150辆、60套‘神盾’防空导弹系统、500辆80式自行高炮、50架‘雷雕’直升机
It can be said that this big gift is enough to make the military smile.

However, with the departure of a group of veterans, it will take Li Fuguo and his team at least three years to truly restore the combat effectiveness of the troops.

Liu Tao has deep feelings for Li Fuguo and others.

They are all real soldiers. They know that they will have a hard life after getting married, but they have no complaints.

The two men walked into the headquarters.

"How's the view over at Qilian Mountain?" Liu Tao asked.

This was what Liu Tao specifically reminded Li Fuguo of before he went to Beijing after the end of the Gulf War.

At the same time, this is also one of the great gifts prepared for Li Fuguo and others.

That is to build another large-scale military training base.

Qilian Mountains was the place Liu Tao initially selected.

"I took people to conduct an on-site investigation. It is a sparsely populated area with a large area, making it very suitable as a military training base!" said Li Fuguo.

In order to investigate the Qilian Mountains, Li Fuguo took a group of people to the Qilian Mountains for an on-site investigation.

The Qilian Mountains are located on the western border of Xihai Province and Gansu Province. They are composed of many parallel mountain ranges and wide valleys running from northwest to southeast. Because they are located on the south side of the Hexi Corridor, they are also known as Nanshan. They are 800 kilometers long from east to west, 200 to 400 kilometers wide from north to south, with an altitude of 4000 to 6000 meters. There are 3306 glaciers in total and an area of ​​2062 square kilometers.

The western end of the river connects with the Altun Mountains at the Dangjin Mountains, and the eastern end reaches the Yellow River Valley, connecting with the Qinling Mountains and Liupan Mountains. It is nearly 1000 kilometers long. The widest part is between Jiuquan and Qaidam Basin, reaching 300 kilometers.

自北而南，包括大雪山、托来山、拖来南山、野马南山、疏勒南山、党河南山、吐尔根达坂山、柴达木山和宗务隆山。山峰多在海拔4000~5000米，最高峰疏勒南山的团结峰海拔5808米。海拔4000米以上的山峰终年积雪，山间谷地也在海拔3000~3500米之间。

Qilian Mountain has a typical continental climate. Generally, the low mountains in front of the mountain have a desert climate, with an average annual temperature of 6℃ and an annual precipitation of about 150 mm. The lower part of the middle mountain has a semi-arid grassland climate, with an average annual temperature of 2~5℃ and an annual precipitation of 250~300 mm. The upper part of the middle mountain has a semi-humid forest-steppe climate, with an average annual temperature of 0~1℃ and an annual precipitation of 400~500 mm. The subalpine and alpine regions have a cold and humid climate, with an average annual temperature of about -5℃ and an annual precipitation of about 800 mm. The climate in the eastern part of the mountain is relatively humid, and in the western part it is relatively dry.

The four seasons in Qilian Mountain are never very distinct. Spring is not like spring, and summer is not like summer. The so-called "Qilian June Snow" is a portrayal of the climate and natural landscape of Qilian Mountain.

Li Fuguo mobilized a satellite map, which was specially generated by satellite and covers an area of ​​approximately 6000 square kilometers.

Then, Li Fuguo introduced himself to Liu Tao.

After Liu Tao learned about it, he used a wire to circle an area that included the entire Qilian Mountains and some surrounding areas, totaling 5000 square kilometers. There are only a few thousand people in this 5000 square kilometers, but it includes snow-capped mountains, grasslands, deserts, canyons and other terrains, which is very suitable for the construction of a military training base.

"When you return to Beijing, report to your superiors and say that this area has been built into a military training base," said Liu Tao.

Although the area is similar to that of the Zhurihe Military Training Base, the cost of building the Qilianshan Military Training Base is at least twice or even three times that of the Zhurihe Military Training Base, because there are no roads or railways in this area.

To build the Qilian Mountain Military Training Base, we must first build a highway and a railway, otherwise the transportation of construction materials will be a big problem.

Once the Qilian Mountain Military Training Base is completed, China will have three major contract military training bases.

Relying on these three contract military training bases, the army can receive almost all its training in two to three years on average.

In addition, the country is building the "Three Realms Training Base" and will build other training bases in the future. By then, it is estimated that the army will be able to achieve the effect of training once a year.

In peacetime, the importance of training bases is self-evident, because it is the most effective way to test the combat effectiveness of troops. In the process, the deficiencies of training troops can be discovered and strengthened in a targeted manner.

At the same time, we can also discuss the patterns, tactics, etc. of future wars.

For Li Fuguo and his men, they actually did not engage in much combat during the last Gulf War.

This can be seen from the casualties. Except for a few unlucky guys who were injured, they had no casualties in the Gulf War.

Unlike when Iraq invaded Kuwait, the mercenaries suffered considerable casualties.

In the future, the troops will not have many opportunities to engage in actual combat. What can be foreseen is that they will probably only engage in small-scale combat.

To have actual combat experience, one must either become a mercenary or join the "Blue Helmets".

"Unconsciously, more than ten years have passed!" Li Fuguo said sadly.

Back then, he made a mistake in "Red Dragon's Roar" and had to be transferred from the position of commander of the main regiment to the local area. Later, he entered Panshan Machinery Factory and served as the head of the armed forces department. He was responsible for the work of the armed forces department of Panshan Machinery Factory and was responsible for the establishment of a combined battalion.

Then, step by step, we progressed along with the development of Panshan Machinery Factory.

It started as a battalion and has grown into twelve brigades now!
When it comes to informationized warfare and integrated warfare, Li Fuguo is definitely the best in the country at present.

More than ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

And now, he is about to leave Panshan Group and return to the army.

Li Fuguo also has deep feelings for Panshan Group, as every bit of his work is here.

Although he has been busy with work over the past decade or so and has very little vacation time each year, he is still dealing with things during the rare times he has a vacation.

I went through two sessions just for further study.

To be honest, Li Fuguo was still reluctant to leave Panshan Group.

But he also knew that at this point, it had become an inevitable trend.

As a soldier, it has always been my duty to obey orders and I will never waver because of my personal will.

Maybe when he retires, he will come back to take a closer look, tell his grandchildren about the glorious days, and then show off his medals and certificates to them, or brag about them to other retired old men.
