The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Among the many martyrs' cemeteries, the one with the most grand and solemn Qingming Festival this year must be Masupo.

Liu Tao presented a wreath to the martyrs, and the soldiers fired guns into the air.

Accompanying Liu Tao in presenting the wreath this time was Li Fuguo, who had just taken up a new post.

The past ten years were an unforgettable period for Li Fuguo. He also rose to prominence during that period and made great military achievements.

Speaking of the generals who rose from that battle, he was one of the best.

He made a mistake during the "Red Dragon's Roar" operation and left the army, but by chance he joined the Panshan Group and formed a combined battalion, thus embarking on a legendary life.

As a veteran of the war, Li Fuguo is still deeply impressed by that war even now.

It will be a success!

Behind his glorious military exploits are the sacrifices of many soldiers.

After laying wreaths, Liu Tao and his team entered the museum, which is dedicated to recording those passionate years.

It was reported on the 7 o'clock news that evening.

At the same time, the battle of the combined battalion that year was publicly declassified for the first time.

CCTV Channel 7, the National Defense and Military Channel, released a documentary about the combined forces battalion for the first time. Although it was only two hours long, it shocked people both at home and abroad.

It is hard for people in China to imagine that 20 or 30 years ago, the Chinese army had such advanced equipment and terrifying combat effectiveness. Except for the lack of air fire support, it was invincible.

The soldiers were armed to the teeth, possessing advanced equipment, very advanced tactics, and fierce firepower, perfectly demonstrating what it means: when poor, use tactics to intersperse, and when rich, use firepower to cover.

Compared with the enemy and friendly forces, this force is simply not from the same era. It is purely a dimensionality reduction attack.

Careful people will notice that there are many familiar faces in this army, but what they presented back then were their youth.

In the following week, CCTV-7 broadcast a series of eight documentaries, all telling the story of the battles of the combined forces at that time.

What shocked people the most was the battle of the combined brigades. There were three different types of combined brigades: heavy combined brigade, medium combined brigade and light combined brigade. Each brigade had a different firepower combination, but even the light combined brigade had terrifying firepower.

Watching the combined brigade directly attacking the mountain, the new type of tanks' strong armor defense, powerful firepower and excellent performance were fully demonstrated.

Looking at the light tanks and amphibious tanks, they can still launch attacks on the enemy on rainy days and tear open the enemy's defense line. The amphibious tanks do not walk, but move directly in the rivers and lakes, firing artillery as they move forward. The light tanks can even travel on country dirt roads as if they were flat ground. Many people exclaimed "black technology".

As for the heavy combined brigade, its terrifying firepower is the most impressive.

After these documentaries were broadcast, they quickly spread around the world, and their on-demand rates are soaring around the world.

So much so that some people who had originally advocated war could not help but remain silent.

More than 20 years ago, the combined brigade had such terrifying combat effectiveness. What about now?
Can one division on our side defeat a combined brigade of the enemy?

The answer is obvious: you can’t beat it!
Not to mention now, even the combined forces brigade more than 20 years ago, they couldn't defeat a single division.

Not to mention now!
What was the situation in China back then? It was extremely poor, and many overseas students tried every possible means to stay in Europe and America and refused to return to China!

At that time, many Chinese professors would rather wash dishes in American restaurants than be professors in China.

And what about China now?
Today, China's reform and opening up over the past 30 years has been hailed as an economic miracle! China has achieved fruitful construction results in all aspects!

The number of satellites China has in space has caught up with that of the United States!
As for satellite quality, it even surpasses that of the United States, as can be seen from the performance of Beidou navigation satellite.

The Beidou navigation system has a far-leading market share in the world.

As for the market share of satellite phones, China is also far ahead.

Moreover, China's current air force ranks second in an authoritative American military magazine, second only to the United States and surpassing Russia.

But at that time, China’s Air Force didn’t even have second-generation and a half fighter jets!
As for the navy, China's navy is currently ranked second in the world, also surpassing Russia.

At that time, a Soviet Pacific Fleet squadron in Annam was regarded as a major enemy.

Now, the Chinese Navy is equipped with advanced warships, and even medium-sized aircraft carriers can be sold to the UK.

以前英国没有少嘲笑华夏的001型航母、002型航母，可是自从买到001型航母、002型航母，就一直夸赞001型航母、002型航母的先进，演绎着真香定律！

The documentary has become popular all over the world and has attracted a lot of attention around the world.

Even military experts went on television to analyze the situation.

Soon after, the relevant departments officially released the notice of the 2009 National Day Military Parade, announcing that the 2009th anniversary National Day Military Parade would be held in 60. As soon as the document was released, it immediately aroused heated discussions among everyone.

To be honest, no one was surprised that China held a military parade in 2009 to celebrate its 60th National Day, as it has become a tradition.

The National Day military parade is an extremely grand ceremony that showcases the majesty of an army, the prestige of a country, and the righteousness of a nation.

Since the founding of the Republic, 13 National Day military parades have recorded every step of the development and growth of our army and the growth of the Republic.

In today's rapidly changing international situation, facing major international changes, this move will help demonstrate the power of peace to the world.

So far, China has become the most important force for peace in the world. If China had not always exercised restraint, maneuvered, persuaded and promoted talks, the world situation would certainly be more chaotic and more wars would have broken out.

Even now, negotiations on the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Iraq are still being promoted.

It is precisely because China maintains the international order and speaks fair words that Europe and the United States have restrained themselves and dare not act too recklessly.

Also because of this peaceful force, the conspiracy of the US-led forces to impose extremely severe sanctions on Persia and Argentina failed.

It is also because of this that the voices of the international South can be heard and the demands of developing countries can be considered rather than being directly ignored.

China is on the path of peace and prosperity, which is completely different from the rise of European and American countries accompanied by bloodshed. China truly relies on the hard work and bravery of the Chinese people, who use their own hands to earn wealth, making China prosperous and strong.

This happened to be the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, so holding a National Day military parade was a natural thing to do.

It’s just a matter of when to make the announcement!
Military fans around the world are also paying attention and looking forward to it, because China's military parades are the most shocking and beautiful in the world, and every parade always amazes people.

Although Venezuela and Colombia held the largest military parades in their country's history, neither country is a true industrial country, and their weapons and equipment are almost all imported.

China is different. Almost all of its weapons and equipment are developed by itself. China is the world's largest industrial country! (End of this chapter)
