The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

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 covering dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers, equivalent to occupying the size of a town.

For example, the scale of the Chengdu tank and armored vehicle production base alone has reached 3 mu, or 20 square kilometers. Adding the test field, dormitory area, etc., it has reached 50 square kilometers.

This 50 square kilometer area is not under the jurisdiction of Chengdu. The jurisdiction lies with the Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base.

Such a super-large tank and armored production base, both in terms of land area and production scale, far exceeds the First Machine Factory.

At the gate, the sculpture of a man concentrating on forging a sword is still standing, warning everyone in the base that they are forging swords for the country.

At the beginning, the Chengdu Tank and Armored Vehicle Production Base implemented a fully closed management system. Later, as the trend of the times changed, it became a semi-closed management system.

The entire Chengdu tank and armored vehicle production base is loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Countless foreign intelligence personnel have been caught here.

Liu Tao comes here to inspect every year, walks around the production workshop, chats with grassroots employees, and gets to know the real situation.

Cheating superiors and concealing the truth from subordinates cannot be prevented even in Panshan Group.

If you trust all the people under you, you will become a blind and deaf person and be deceived by them.

Liu Tao never completely believed the reports from his subordinates. Every year he would go out and take a look, seeing and listening with his own eyes.

Although it is said that there must be trust between people, we must also remember the 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, which is responsible for improving tanks and armored vehicles and developing the next generation of tanks and armored vehicles.

It has been more than 1980 years since the third-generation main battle tank was developed in , and the main battle tanks of the major military powers in the world now all have some third-generation main battle tanks.

Under such circumstances, the United States, Russia and Germany are all conducting research and development of new fourth-generation main battle tanks.

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

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

Because this is about cultivating a team of talents, and the construction of a team of talents is more important than anything else.

With a talented team, we can continue to develop various weapons.

After all, Liu Tao is just a human being, and one day he will die, so he has to consider what will happen after his death.

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

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

The six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue are proceeding smoothly.

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

However, the brazen nuclear tests not only failed to increase bargaining chips, but made the United States more isolated.

Funds from all sources were frozen and gold reserves were limited, making it extremely difficult to escape from the predicament.

Under tremendous international pressure, North Korea used karaoke to distribute karaoke machines to its troops to reduce tension and boost military morale. However, this also made North Korea realize the reality. Against this background, this round of six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue was held.

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

A clear timetable and a clear attitude made the entire tense atmosphere dissipate.

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

This puts Persia under even greater international pressure!
After all, Persia does not really not need the world and can completely separate itself from it.

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

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

After constant ideological work, 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.

Just in September, George Walton admitted that the Iraq war was not over.

Ever since victory in the Iraq War was announced on Christmas, it seemed as if the war was over all of a sudden.

But this is not the case. In 2006, Iraq was filled with violence and bloodshed. The US troops stationed in Iraq and the anti-US forces in Iraq were in fierce confrontation, the sectarian conflict was intensifying, and the number of casualties was rising sharply. This year, the number of US troops killed in Iraq has approached 3000, and the total number of injured has exceeded 2.

Turkey was angry and humiliated because it did not get the benefits it wanted and was also facing the territorial secession of Kurdish armed forces. It withdrew its troops back to Turkey and prepared to attack the Kurdish armed forces.

Countries such as Japan and South Korea have left only a portion of their troops in Iraq to continue to maintain the banner of the joint forces, but the number of joint forces has been greatly reduced.

After occupying Iraq, the United States tried to "transform" Iraq according to its own will, establish a provisional government, and support a puppet to come to power. However, this triggered a strong backlash of anti-American sentiment in Iraq and even in the Middle East. Integration is also the most important reason for the current chaotic situation in Iraq.

In addition, after the Iraq War, conflicts among various political forces in Iraq became increasingly intensified during the process of power redistribution.

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 invasion wars in the new era are becoming increasingly difficult to fight. Iraq, a country with a small land area and no complex terrain, is not suitable for mechanized warfare. The Iraq War has been fought like this, and it will be even more difficult to maintain public security afterwards. It is simply bleeding.

The same situation also occurred in Afghanistan.

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

After we wiped out this group of guerrillas, another one appeared and could not be completely wiped out.

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 embarrassingly discovered that their fight against terrorism has only made terrorism more severe.

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

Even the United States has to start discussing whether to implement strict gun bans and strict security systems to crack down on extremist organizations.

However, as soon as this discussion started, it was met with strong opposition, saying that it was an infringement of citizens’ rights to freedom and democracy. (End of this chapter)
