Liu Chengjia's first reaction was to berate him. This was too whimsical. A young boy in his early twenties actually wanted to talk about "military reform" with him, the chief of operations of a large military region!
However, when he saw Liu Weihong's solemn expression, Liu Chengjia swallowed his words.
This son of his had already given him too many surprises and surprises today. He might as well listen to his 'brilliant theory' again and see what he wanted to do!
"Alright, go ahead!"
Liu Chengjia said calmly.
As usual, when Liu Chengjia was discussing business with others at home, Lin Meiru had to avoid it. Ever since the great leader had passed away, it had become an unwritten rule for the noble families of the capital to not interfere in politics. Lin Meiru was also deeply affected. But this time, Lin Meiru didn't get up. A conversation between a son and his father could not be considered official business, right?
Lin Meiru was also very curious.
"Dad, this question is a little big. I haven't thought it through yet. I just want to talk to you about some of my thoughts and see if it can be used as a reference…"
Liu Weihong said slowly. His tone was very calm, without the slightest hint of nervousness or panic. Just this bearing alone made people look up to him.
Liu Chengjia didn't say anything.
He was a taciturn person. Otherwise, the old man would not have sent him to the army.
"The first is information technology. If I remember correctly, it was only a few years ago that our army completely eliminated the use of mules and horses. The other major military powers in the world had already mechanized their armies twenty years ago. Now, they were all emphasizing the importance of information technology to the military. In future wars, not only would they emphasize air and sea control, but they would also emphasize information control. The United States proposed the Star Wars program in 1983. Although, I think that this plan is unrealistic. With the current level of technology, it is impossible to achieve such a flawless defense. Completely avoiding a nuclear strike from a hostile country was just a fool's dream. Therefore, the main purpose of the Star Wars project was to create a tense atmosphere and drag down the Soviet Union with an endless arms race…However, at least one aspect of the Star Wars project was very realistic, and that was the construction of military information. This is very important."
Liu Weihong said unhurriedly.
The discussion of military reform with his father was one of the components of the " grand plan " that he had just come up with. Before his rebirth, Liu Weihong was not a military expert. However, the information that was more than twenty years ahead of him was enough for him to understand the direction of the entire world's military situation and provide some reference opinions. It was more than enough.
His father's position was too low. After the old man passed away, he could not hold up the sky at all. With the downfall of his uncle Liu Chengsheng and his son, Liu Chengjia was also unlucky. He was transferred to a sinecure and retired gloomily.
If he was from an ordinary family, being the chief of operations of a major military region was undoubtedly a very prestigious position. He was a well-deserved high-ranking official. However, in a wealthy family like the Old Liu family, this position was really insignificant. Other than thinking of ways to let his big uncle and big brother escape this calamity, it was also necessary for his father to quickly advance to a higher position.
If one wanted to make a difference in officialdom, background was crucial.
If an ordinary person was reborn, even if their family declined, they would still have a lot of opportunities to become rich with the information advantage of rebirth. But Liu Weihong could not. If he wanted to change his previous life, he had to first save this family from destruction. Once history repeated itself and he was blacklisted, it would be difficult for him to do business and live the life of a rich man, let alone despair in the officialdom.
The relevant departments would definitely take special care of him.
Being born in such a wealthy family, having power in their hands was the only guarantee!
Without power, everything was nothing.
Liu Weihong had thought it through.
Liu Chengjia was obviously shocked. He reached out to stop Liu Weihong's "long speech" and said,"The Star Wars program is to drag down the Soviet Union?”
This conclusion was a common conclusion in later generations, but at that time, it was absolutely earth-shattering.
Now, the Soviet Union had not collapsed.
No one could imagine the collapse of such a powerful country.
Because of our geographical relationship, our country pays extra attention to any changes in our northern neighbor.
"That's right. It was to drag down the Soviet Union." Liu Weihong answered with certainty," The productivity and economic strength of the United States is far above that of the Soviet Union. The comparison of economic strength between the two countries was far from being as balanced as the comparison of military strength between the two sides. Under the premise that both sides possessed weapons of mass destruction, it was impossible to conquer the Soviet Union by force. He could only rely on his strong economic strength to drag down this old rival. The planned economic system of the Soviet Union could not support the huge expenditure of the arms race in the long run.”
"Who told you these things?”
Liu Chengjia asked in confusion.
Liu Weihong smiled and said casually,""Dad, you're underestimating your son. Why did he need someone else to teach him such a thing? If he thought about it carefully, he would be able to analyze it.”
"Weihong, Mom can't analyze this." Lin Meiru smiled bitterly.”
"Mom, it's different." Liu Weihong smiled. You're a doctor, so your attention isn't on this at all. Furthermore, there were differences between men's and women's ways of thinking.”
"Ah, you even have research on this?”
Lin Meiru exclaimed.
"Mom, there's no research. I'm just saying. Besides, this is common sense."
It was common sense in the 21st century.
Lin Meiru couldn't speak, but she looked at her son with sparkling eyes, full of surprise.
"Dad, in two years, when the Soviet Union falls, the Star Wars program will end. Just wait and see."
Liu Weihong said nonchalantly, as if he was talking about a fact that had already happened.
"Why do you keep saying that the Soviet Union is going to collapse?"
Liu Chengjia stared at him and asked.
"That's for sure. After Gorbachov came to power, he ignored the actual situation and carried out a random system reform. Even people like Ye Lvqin could tolerate it. It was simply destroying the foundation of the Soviet Union. Without a powerful political machine and a stable social order, any reform will not have a good result. It will only lead to social unrest…Let's not talk about this. This is a special topic…Let's continue to talk about military reform. Firepower, mobility, and command were the three main factors that made up a war advantage. We'll talk about firepower and mobility later. First, we'll talk about the command element. The so-called command must be based on correct analysis, otherwise it would be blind command. And accurate analysis and judgment came from accurate information. Without an accurate source of battlefield information, any command would be blind. No matter how powerful the firepower of the troops was, no matter how outstanding their mobility was, they would not be able to win the war. Therefore, if we don't want to be at a disadvantage in future wars, we must pay attention to the information construction of the military from now on. Dad, you're the Chief of Operations. You should know this better than me.”
Liu Chengjia, who had always been dignified and steady, almost fainted completely. He looked at his son and was speechless for a long time. After a while, he picked up the teacup in front of him and took a few sips of tea.
Liu Weihong quickly stood up, picked up the thermos bottle, and filled his father's cup with tea.
He had already placed the thermos bottle in his hand.
"This…these things, did you really analyze them yourself?”
After a long time, Liu Chengjia asked with uncertainty.
"Yes, I am. I usually like to analyze political and military situations. The military's command system would become automated and information based. This was an inevitable trend. If we don't build computers, we will definitely be eliminated. However, there were also dangers involved in the construction of automated information technology. If our computer technology falls behind, our command system will be unsafe. It may be completely paralyzed by the enemy's information attack at any time. Even if they started now, they were already lagging behind. If we don't catch up, we will be left further and further behind. We will see this very clearly in the next local war that the United States will participate in. The US military's information technology advantage would be the biggest advantage on the battlefield.”
As Liu Weihong spoke, he thought of the war in Kuwait that was about to break out soon.
In that war, the so-called elite army armored force was completely vulnerable in the face of the United States 'high-tech weapons and absolute control of information. It could not even effectively assemble, let alone resist. Often, once the troops gathered, the United States would launch air strikes and long-range attacks, and the army would become a live target. It was an extremely unbalanced war.
This war not only shocked Lark, but also the higher-ups of the Republic who had always valued the traditional construction of the army. The military reform of the Republic thus set off a climax.
What Liu Weihong wanted to do was to let his father say these words a year or two in advance. Of course, it wasn't just a normal chat. It was through formal channels, such as submitting an official report to the higher-ups or publishing a professional article in the newspaper, to attract the attention of the higher-ups. When the war in Kuwait really broke out, Liu Chengjia's foresight was highlighted.
He was the Chief of Operations of a large military region and was highly regarded by his superiors. With such capital, coupled with the old man's illustrious reputation, it was only a matter of time before he rose to a higher level in the army.
It was said that the 21st century was an era where fathers competed with each other.
The truth was that in a country where officials were the most important, it was always an era where people competed with their fathers!
The second generation of officials and the second generation of rich people were definitely not products of the 21st century.
Liu Weihong knew this very well.
He had to convince Liu Chengjia to accept his opinion. Fortunately, based on the current situation, Liu Chengjia was already shocked by him, so he was not far from being completely convinced by him.
Liu Weihong's confidence soared as he continued to explain his " military reform " theory.
