Chapter 610: The Theory of Unrestricted Warfare
New enemies? Wu Shengli became interested: "After the collapse of the Red Empire, Mao's life became worse and worse day by day. Now, can the Americans find a new enemy? Who is this enemy?"
"Dad, your thinking has begun to fall behind. Will there definitely be an enemy in the future war?" Qin Tao said: "The boundaries of war have become increasingly blurred. In many wars, you can't even see the enemy. But it could pose a huge threat.”
“Are your words rising to a theoretical level?” Wu Shengli also began to think seriously.
"Yes, it's theoretical. After you go back, you can introduce my theories to others and let them study them. In ancient times, we had Sun Tzu's Art of War. In modern times, we will also have modern theories of unrestricted warfare. .”
“Unrestricted warfare?”
"Yes, modern war is not necessarily military. There are also non-military war tentacles that will extend to every corner of society and become the main situation. Let me give a simple example." Qin Tao said: "Now that we have taken back the Pearl of the Orient, some people will be very unhappy. At this time, they may act evil. For example, a large amount of capital will pour in and start an economic war. The currency system of the Pearl of the Orient has collapsed, turning the Hong Kong dollar into a piece of useless paper."
“How is this possible?” Wu Shengli said in surprise.
"Why is it impossible? I hope the relevant departments are ready. This kind of unrestricted warfare in the financial field is expected to begin soon." Qin Tao continued: "Let me give you another example. For example, some small organizations have The United States hates it to the core, but has no means of retaliation. They can cultivate a group of dead soldiers and train the skills of driving passenger planes. When the time is right, they can board the passenger plane as passengers, and then control the passenger plane to crash after it reaches the United States. An American landmark.”
“War has nothing to do with civilians!” Wu Shengli was even more shocked.
"Dad, are you still so naive? Once a war breaks out, there is no boundary between civilians and soldiers. During the Vietnam War, farmers working in the fields would take out AK rifles from the rice fields at any time and shoot at the Americans. Another example is that during World War II, German soldiers fought on the front lines and women produced weapons in the rear. Can you say that war is a matter of soldiers and has nothing to do with those women?"
"I'm not talking about these, I'm talking about the hypothesis you just put forward, kidnapping ordinary passengers on the passenger plane and leading them to destruction together. This method is too extreme!"
"Yes, it is extreme enough, so they will be jointly strangled by the whole world." Qin Tao said.
Wu Shengli didn't listen to Qin Tao's words. He was still immersed in the hypothesis just now. If there were no boundaries, it would be really terrible!
“The invisible enemy is the most terrifying thing, and we must...predict these dangers in advance and prepare everyone.” Qin Tao found a suitable word to describe it.
“Taozi, when you go back, you will give this lecture. Then, based on your theory, we will write a book! You will be the first author of this book.”
Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "No, dad, don't cheat me. People are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong!"
Now Qin Tao wants to weaken his influence in all aspects. He doesn't want to be too high-profile and attract many people's attention.
Wu Shengli smiled and said: "You are already famous enough, more is not too much, and less is not too much."
"That won't work." Qin Tao thought for a moment: "This kind of thing should be done by people who like to be famous. As for the Navy, we can push Zhang Zhong out. In the Air Force, there are also many excellent military theory studies. The staff, for example, someone named Qiao Liang, is very good."
This was the last night that Qin Tao and Wu Shengli stayed on the aircraft carrier. In the morning of the next day, the two took a helicopter to an aviation base on the shore. In the afternoon of the same day, they took a special plane back to the capital.
Qin Tao is a person who does what he says. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two people he was looking for gathered in an ordinary office in Huanglou.
"Mr. Qin, I'm glad to see you." Qiao Liang extended his hand enthusiastically: "You specially asked me to come here. If you have any tasks, just ask me. I will definitely complete it successfully."
Qiao Liang was born in a military family in 1955. After entering the army, he was mainly engaged in literary creation. He served as deputy director of the Creative Office of the Air Force's Ministry of Commerce and a professor in the Strategic Teaching and Research Office of the Air Force Command Academy. Moreover, he is somewhat similar to Zhang Zhong. , has also appeared on the screen and hosted the Thirty-Six Strategies program on CCTV, and is also considered a public figure.
Zhang Zhong needs no introduction. He and Qin Tao have long been familiar with each other. When he heard that Qin Tao was looking for him this time, he ran over.
In addition to the two people, there is also a person selected by the Air Force, Wang Xianghui. While serving in the Air Force, he has created many works and has been devoted to military theory research for a long time. He is a professional in this field.
The three of them were looking at Qin Tao expectantly, waiting for Qin Tao's next task.
“I want to publish a book.”
As soon as these words came out, several people present realized that Qin Tao came to them. It turned out that he was a gunman!
If it were someone else, they would definitely consider it an insult to use them as a weapon, but Mr. Qin is different! Mr. Qin has never been one to seek fame and reputation. Since he asked to publish a book, he must have his own purpose. All you have to do is follow Mr. Qin’s arrangements!
“Mr. Qin, we will definitely make this book signed by you a best-seller all over the world.” Zhang Zhong replied immediately.
“No, no, I can’t sign it. If the three of you co-author it, just sign it together. The name of the book will be Unrestricted Warfare.”
"What?" Zhang Zhong thought he heard wrongly: "Is it about the Korean War?"
“Transcendence means transcendence, limit means limit, which means transcending limits.” Qin Tao said: “This is a modern military theory book that will lead the strategic theory in the next few decades.”
Beyond limits?
"Mr. Qin, what you are talking about is what we are thinking about recently, but it doesn't have such an essential thought as yours." Qiao Liang became excited.
He and Wang Xianghui are good friends. The two often chat together and want to study future strategies. They have noticed that future wars will no longer have restrictions on soldiers and civilians. There will be unprecedented scenes in modern wars. The method has changed a lot, but the two of them just had a vague idea, but now Mr. Qin clearly put it forward!
Qin always asked them to compile books, but instead of using them as guns, he provided them with guidance and did not require signatures!
"Well, if your understanding is in place, it will be easier to write this book. We will raise it to a theoretical level and make it a classic strategic work like the Thirty-Six Strategies, and even become a reference for military academies in various countries. Classic textbook.”
Everyone nodded, with excitement on their faces.
"This book can be divided into two volumes. The first volume discusses new wars, and the second volume discusses new tactics. The two need to be different. The former focuses on discussing the trends of weapons revolution and military revolution; the war in the oil region can be used for analysis. It demonstrates that the strong have an innate and overwhelming advantage over the weak, and the purpose of the latter is to get rid of the fate of strength and weakness, overcome the advantages possessed by powerful countries through the weapons revolution, and engage in a new type of war."
Qin Tao's introduction made a few people present suddenly enlightened. Originally, they only had vague ideas in their minds, but now, these ideas have gradually become clear.
"That's right, the first volume is just a prelude, the focus is on the second volume. We have to give hope to those weak countries. Even when facing powerful countries, they have ways to win, just like the powder keg in the current oil region. Although they are in a weak position , but they can still fight, and they have also created many new weapons, such as special rockets that use gas cans as weapons!" Zhang Zhong also became excited.
"No matter how big a country is, if it is warlike, it will perish. Let those powerful countries know that although they are powerful, if they blindly bully weak countries, they will also suffer the fate of decline and destruction! We want to carry out a revolution in military thinking! "Wang Xianghui said.
The three of them were very excited. As experts in military research, they all realized how shocking this military work would be once it was released.
"Now that everyone has understood it, let's start writing this book as soon as possible. After it is written, let me have a look first, and I may be able to provide some guidance."
“Don’t worry, Mr. Qin, the three of us can write it in three months.” Zhang Zhong said.
"Well, come on, after writing it, we will mobilize our own efforts to publish this book, not only domestically, but also around the world. We will translate it into multiple versions, English, French, Russian, Arabic... We want to give strength to those who are confused and let them see hope."
At that time, the mountains and rivers were broken, everyone in the country was in danger, and theories of national subjugation continued to appear. An article on protracted war immediately gave strength and hope to the people in the darkness!
“Mr. Qin, the idea of the entire book is yours. Do you want to sign your name?” Qiao Liang said.
"Of course not. You are all writers, and I am not. If I write my name on it, I don't know how many people will accuse me of seeking fame." Qin Tao said.
There was a time when many people liked to publish books to portray themselves as cultural people, whether they were officials or businessmen, and some books were even compiled into encyclopedias. The connotation will ultimately make people laugh.
Qin Tao is not that kind of person, and there is no need for him to pretend to be elegant.
“If you feel embarrassed, I will give you a quarter of the royalties.” Qin Tao said with a smile.
In fact, for this book to quickly become popular all over the world, on the one hand, it must have good content, and on the other hand, the Mingzhou Group must pay for the operation. Qin Tao wants a quarter of the royalties, which may not be able to cover the operating expenses. But this can make a few people present feel more comfortable.
“Yes, Mr. Qin, we will give you a quarter of the royalties.”
Sure enough, this proposal made several people present feel at ease.
Things were arranged like this. The influence of this book was completely unknown to the people present. When some people in the cave took this book and were inspired by something, they made some kind of When the decision was made, it was not what those present could have imagined.
After arranging this matter, Qin Tao's mission here was completed. He returned to the gray building and went to the kindergarten to pick up his son after school. When the son carrying a schoolbag came out and saw Qin Tao, at first glance Didn't even recognize it!
Qin Tao felt a little sad in his heart. He planned to stay in the capital to accompany his son these days, but he was called away by Mr. Lin's phone call.
“Tomorrow we are going to have a pre-research meeting on a key project. Come and join us.”
This sentence was unclear, and Qin Tao was a little funny. This is the benefit of acquaintances, and he was so rude!
I work on warships, why do you always accompany your air force? I don’t know what the project is this time?
On July 3, Qin Tao came to the conference room of the Air Force Compound. When he entered, he saw many familiar faces.
"Mr. Qin, I knew I would see you here. I recently heard that you have done another big thing, which greatly boosted our morale and demonstrated our national and military might!" Mr. Song greeted Qin Tao with a smile.
“Old Song, please stop being too close. Do you think Mr. Qin can support your project like this?” Another voice sounded, it was Mr. Gu from Institute 601.
Looking at these people gathered here, Qin Tao had already guessed something: "Is today's project a bidding for a fourth-generation heavy fighter?"
“That’s right!” Mr. Lin’s voice sounded from behind Qin Tao.
"Seeing that your private company's J-31A project is progressing smoothly, and the world has entered the ranks of heavy-duty fighter jets, our air force cannot be too ambitious. We also need to raise funds to develop fourth-generation stealth fighter jets." Mr. Lin looked at To Qin Tao: "Since you are in the capital, we will call you here."
Qin Tao shook his head: "Why did you ask me to come? Is it just to attend the meeting, or do I have the right to vote?"
“Of course it’s the right to vote. Your Mingzhou Group has developed the only stealth machine in the country, and you are the planner of this project. Your opinions are very important,” Mr. Lin said.
Qin Tao shook his head: "You still don't take me seriously."
“Don’t value you? Give you the right to vote, but still don’t value you?”
“If your Air Force values me, then we should let our team come together to bid. Maybe we can beat two opponents and become the contractor of the Air Force’s fourth-generation fighter jets.”
As soon as Qin Tao said these words, the expressions of Mr. Song and Mr. Gu present changed.
Want to join a new bidding team?
In the past era, there was no concept of bidding at all. If the Air Force wanted fighter aircraft, it would directly assign a task to a certain research and development unit and see which unit had the energy and capability to take over the task.
It was not until the third-generation aircraft was developed that bidding began. As a result, the 611 Institute's plan was approved and Project 10 was started. However, the 601 Institute was not willing to give in. It applied for a large amount of funds to build a model for peace, and even The plan for the J-83 was drawn up as a substitute for Project 10. In the 1990s, the Su-27 entered the country. At the same time, the combination of 601 Research Institute and 112 Factory began to imitate this fighter aircraft, and the J-8 plan was abandoned.
However, 601's imitation and 611's originality still make many people dissatisfied, so they can't wait to win the bidding for the fourth-generation machine so that they can show their strength.
What now?
Now Mr. Qin actually said that he wants to join in the bidding?
If the Mingzhou Group joins in, the situation will be different. After all, the Mingzhou Group's J-31A is progressing smoothly, and their carrier-based version has begun a large number of intensive test flights. It looks like it will be finalized and put into production in one or two years. , if they come to bid, then their chance of success will be higher. If the J-31A is stretched and enlarged, isn't it the F-22?
Mr. Lin also began to think deeply. Do you want to join the Mingzhou Group?
Seeing the change in everyone's attitude, Qin Tao laughed: "I was joking just now to scare you. We are not yet capable of participating in this kind of bidding. Our team is also very busy. After the carrier-based model is put into production, We still need to continue to study the vertical take-off and landing type. This aircraft is the most difficult to develop, and we do not have the energy to develop a twin-engine heavy fighter."
joke?
Mr. Lin sighed: "I was thinking just now that it would actually be good if you guys join in. Since you don't have the energy, forget it."
“Really?” Qin Tao glanced at Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin nodded.
In fact, Qin Tao has never thought about letting his team participate in the bidding. After all, his team is corporate, not state-owned. If his team succeeds in the bidding, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? We are taking the road of export sales, just because we don’t want to compete with these domestic teams to avoid any unpleasantness.
Furthermore, it is not convenient to hand over this important weapon of the country to private companies. Although we have practiced a market economy for twenty years, it is still very different from the West.
“Let’s go, come to the rostrum with me.” Mr. Lin said.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Isn't this not good?"
"Is there anything inappropriate? Sit next to me. The J-31A developed by your company is about to be finalized. You have the most say. If you don't go up, I will call the telephone pole tonight and beat you completely. drunk."
“Okay.” Qin Tao nodded.
The people in the conference room are already here.
"More than ten years ago, in the same room, we passed the establishment of Project 10. Now, the J-10 fighter has become the ace, main force and backbone of our air force. However, technology is constantly developing, and world aviation has developed When it comes to fourth-generation aircraft, the Americans have also proposed the 4S indicator. If we want to win on the future battlefield, we must develop a new fourth-generation fighter." Mr. Lin began to speak: "Today, let's look at domestic It’s an eye-opener for us to see what kind of fighter aircraft the aviation companies can come up with!”
"At the same time, we invited Mr. Qin from Mingzhou Group here today. Everyone knows that the J-31A project they developed has become a global fighter, winning orders from many countries, and pioneering the development of military aircraft. A new era, even many of our fourth-generation aviation technologies, have received a lot of inspiration and help from their projects.”
How to build an aircraft into a stealth aircraft and how to design its appearance? Find inspiration from the J-31A!
help? That’s more! For example, the most lacking thing in domestic research and development of fighter aircraft is the engine. With the help of the J-31A project, the country has introduced a full set of R79 engine technology, including production technology. Now domestic replicas can be produced, and also With further improvements and improvements, this engine will become the only choice for domestic fourth-generation aircraft!
Avionics, etc., can also get technology and inspiration from the J-31A, such as the voice command.
"I am a shipbuilder, and I am here to join in the fun. Everyone, just pretend that I don't exist." Qin Tao said: "Don't do the same thing in this meeting. Since it is a bidding, please quickly invite the bidding team to come up and let everyone start. It’s an eye-opener, which project comes first?”
"Let's start from No. 601." Mr. Lin started to point out.
"Okay, let's do it first." Mr. Gu started to introduce: "Everyone knows that we are currently producing the Su-27 series of fighter jets. Therefore, our plan is to make changes based on the Su-27 and make it Become a stealth fighter."
This project was of course originally proposed by Qin Tao. At the first domestic international defense exhibition, when Qin Tao was discussing with Lao Maozi’s technical staff, they proposed to flatten the Su-27 and turn it into a stealth aircraft.
Qin Tao doesn’t know whether the Sukhoi Design Bureau listened to it, but now, the plan proposed by 601 is a flattened Su-27.
The nose is in the shape of a rhombus, with the waistlines on both sides extending backwards to the side wings, followed by a butterfly wing, a tail, and two vertical tails that are tilted outwards. It looks somewhat modern.
The layout of the two engine nacelles is still under the fuselage, and the air inlet has been modified into a diamond shape. The groove between the air inlets has been filled up to become a built-in bomb bay. This design still looks like it is moving. Really skilled.
In fact, with Mr. Gu's age, he can retire. However, he is the oldest designer in the 601 Institute after all. The failure of the J-13 project bidding more than ten years ago has always made him brood, so this This time, after receiving the task, he came here again, wanting to take on this important role.
This appearance is almost the same as the Su-57. Qin Tao also felt a little regretful in his heart. The 601st Institute also began to exert its efforts, but he still had to stand with the 611th Institute.
Mr. Gu talked for a full hour, from the fuselage layout, aerodynamics, to avionics, and he talked with great interest.
At that time, the J-13 project failed because it was too conservative. This project was a complete replica of the F16. It had a tapered delta wing with a medium sweep angle, slender and narrow side strips, and was invincible at high altitude and high speed. It was obtained from abroad in 1978. A replica of the MiG-23's R-29-300 turbojet engine, it climbs even more whizzingly. Taking into account the domestic technical level, they did not dare to use too advanced ones. They did not have turbofan engines or advanced fire control radars, so they still followed the path of Li Xiangyang in the air.
Let’s look at the 611 institute. It is simply the best in aviation history. It has fly-by-wire control, a canard layout, and a large fire control radar on the nose. Can these be accomplished domestically? This is clearly a PPT project!
Generally speaking, if new technology exceeds 30%, the project will be at risk of abortion. However, the new technology of Project No. 10 is as high as 60%!
Especially the fully moving canards and fly-by-wire controls.
In 1986, the French Rafale ACX and the British EAP demonstrator aircraft had just made their first flight, and the fully-moving canards suddenly became equal to those of the West. And fly-by-wire control is the king of aircraft crashes. When foreign third-generation aircraft were operated by fly-by-wire, more than one aircraft crashed. There was even a rumor that all good aircraft crashed!
However, the result is that the J-10 won, and now it has completed the final test flight. The 601 Research Institute is very unwilling to accept it. They have worked hard and must not lose the bid for the fourth-generation aircraft again!
