Inside the comfortable cabin, Xu Chen stroked the armrest of the chair, his heart filled with emotions.
This new type of long-distance warship filled him with excitement. He really didn't expect that in just 20 years, the country's military power could actually make such a huge leap and advance!
This was really something Xu Chen didn't even dare to think about twenty years ago.
"If it weren't for the fact that I'm a low-key person, I would've directly mobilized an aircraft carrier to pick you up." Wan Kuangxiao laughed a few times. He could see Xu Chen's pride for his country. There was no need to say more at this time.
"Keep bragging." Xu Chen couldn't help but laugh. The country had its own aircraft carrier. This was something many people didn't even dare to dream of.
Not to mention an aircraft carrier, just these high-tech long-distance warships were enough to shock Xu Chen, who hadn't been in Chen City for more than twenty years.
"Let's talk about this long-distance warship. Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group spent years of effort on it. Our Hua Xia shipbuilding group also has a strong military research capability now! They have rich experience in the development of long-distance warships. " Wan Kuangxiao was also very energetic. "I won't brag. Our long-distance warship has a displacement of about thirty thousand tons. Even if it encounters a Category 12 typhoon, there won't be any problems. The self-sustaining combat time is a hundred days. When carrying out sea missions, we can fight within the three oceans of sixty degrees north and south latitude. There won't be any worries! "
"You're really well-prepared." Xu Chen said, "You're not going to give up even after a hundred days?"
"Not just a hundred days, even if it's a thousand days, I'll still find you." Wan Kuangxiao glared. "Even if you ask me to directly board an aircraft carrier, I won't hesitate! As long as I can find you. "
Xu Chen smiled and shook his head. "People like us aren't worth the country wasting so much energy on. You're the chief of the Dragon Brigade. Don't do such impulsive things in the future. You should focus on protecting the country. "
"The military power of Hua Xia now is completely different from what you knew back then." Wan Kuangxiao said, "Now, no other country dares to touch Hua Xia, and no other country can touch Hua Xia."
"Are you that confident?" Xu Chen was surprised.
After all, in the era he knew, powerful countries like the United States Empire were still bullying Hua Xia. A few years after Xu Chen entered the Martifrans Island Felon Prison, the United States Empire even bombed Hua Xia's embassy in South Slavia.
At that time, Hua Xia could only condemn it and was powerless to fight back.
Of course, Xu Chen didn't know about this. If he did, with his temper, it wasn't impossible for him to sneak into the military base of the American Empire in Dongying and blow up their military base!
But now, the United States no longer dared to bully Hua Xia.
"Let me tell you this." Wan Kuangxiao smiled and said, "In the two decades since you left, our military expenditure has increased by almost twenty times. Now, it's close to a hundred billion USD."
100 billion USD?
To Xu Chen, this was an unbelievable number! Wasn't this too terrifying?
"Does our country have so much money?" Other than shock, there was only shock on Xu Chen's face. The huge changes over the years were beyond his imagination.
"Let me tell you, our military expenditure is very small in GDP, but our country's GDP is already quite large and continues to grow, so military expenditure is naturally increasing. Although our country is still seriously studying imported weapons and equipment samples to this day, it's no longer a simple imitation, but a creative development! " Wan Kuangxiao said, "Moreover, Matthew, who is recognized by the world as a high-tech weapon development genius, is now in our country!"
Xu Chen believed Wan Kuangxiao's words. This exciting news was the best thing he had heard since he came out.
"Over the years, our military technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. This makes it theoretically possible for our country to be invaded by an external force. It can only be imagined that the US Empire uses sea-based and air-based cruise missiles, and possibly carrier-based aviation to attack us." Wan Kuangxiao said, "But now that Matthew has perfected our national defense weapons system, within three years, the United States Empire will not be able to find any channel to attack Hua Xia. By then, they will be completely stupid."
Wan Kuangxiao rarely cursed.
At this time, he cursed completely because he wanted to vent his emotions.
When the United States Empire bullied Hua Xia back then, Hua Xia did not have enough military power to fight back and could only swallow their anger.
But he believed that Hua Xia would never be bullied again in the future!
"Any other form of war can no longer pose a threat to Hua Xia. In order to fight back against this purely imaginary threat, we are vigorously developing the Air Force and Navy, as well as the air defense forces belonging to the Army, "Wan Kuangxiao continued.
Xu Chen was really outdated with the current military development. He wanted to keep up with the development of the times as soon as possible, so he listened very quietly to Wan Kuangxiao's words.
"Then how do we develop our military power now?" Xu Chen said, "Tell me about it, otherwise, it's really like I'm listening to a book from heaven."
"Now, there are two main paths for our country's military development." Wan Kuangxiao smiled and said confidently, "One is threat-based development, which is to respond to real security threats. This path mainly stems from the realistic requirements of responding to security threats. To a certain extent, it depends on the stimulation of security threats. It's the stimulus-response model, which can be regarded as a coping development model. On a deeper level, it's a passive development model. "
Xu Chen nodded. It did make sense.
"The other is ability-based development, which is to focus on the future and shape the development of abilities. This path mainly stems from the guidance of strategic goals. It seeks to shape the development of abilities in order to achieve a certain strategic goal. It's the goal guidance model, which can be regarded as the shaping development model. These two development strategies show different development characteristics and requirements in practice. "Wan Kuangxiao spoke very seriously.
Xu Chen nodded, not fully understanding.
"The threat-based development is based on responding to real security threats. It mainly shows the development of current, passive, and maintenance. On the other hand, the ability-based development is based on shaping future military abilities. It mainly shows the development of foresight, initiative, and innovation, "Wan Kuangxiao said.
Xu Chen's ability to accept was still very strong. "But in the current situation, there's no development purely based on threats. Threats also require the improvement of abilities. There's also no development purely based on abilities. The purpose of ability-based development is to respond to security threats."
"Yes, that's right. It's just that the threat-based development focuses more on the immediate response. Its development must be based on the current reality. On the other hand, ability-based development focuses more on resolving possible security threats from a grand perspective and integrating the response to security threats into shaping future development." Wan Kuangxiao nodded.
"Then in this sense, the two development strategies are actually based on the combination of threat-based and ability-based development. They choose to focus on responding to real threats or on shaping future abilities. From this, they form different development goals, methods, and focus points, constitute different development models, and reflect different development results." Xu Chen had already begun to analyze the current military development.
Wan Kuangxiao hugged Xu Chen's shoulder. "Do you know, if you hadn't made that impulsive decision back then, Hua Xia might have been able to develop to the current military level ten years ago with you!"
"Chief, don't flatter me. I don't have that ability." Xu Chen said, "I'm just a person who likes to talk."
"I don't care. Now, we have to realize Hua Xia's military development strategy in Hua Xia's dream!" Wan Kuangxiao said, "I order you to return to the army to help Hua Xia's military development."
Xu Chen was stunned for a moment. To be honest, he had his concerns.
Because he owed his children too much, owed Zuo Lengyue too much, and owed many people too much … If he returned to the army, then he really wouldn't have the chance to make up for it.
"The current strategic goal of Hua Xia's development is to realize the great revival of our nation, Hua Xia's dream. Hua Xia's dream is the dream of a strong nation. For the army, it's the dream of a strong army! " Wan Kuangxiao said emotionally, "Hua Xia's military development must be in line with the strategic goal of realizing Hua Xia's dream of a strong army, and establish a military development strategy that is in line with it!"
