At the end of his studies at the Military Academy, Li Yunlong handed in his graduation thesis "On Special Operations in the Cold War". He himself did not expect that his thesis was so popular that even the dean nodded slightly in approval after listening to his thesis defense. It was not his whim to choose this topic. The Yamamoto Secret Service of the Japanese Army had left a deep impression on him. In his thesis, he first talked about the rise and development of special forces and the characteristics of special operations.

He also pointed out that our army had some prototypes of special units in different historical periods. For example, the 17 warriors in the Red Army period forcibly crossed the Dadu River, which was a small-scale commando with the nature of special forces. It is composed of high-level cadres and soldiers, and equipped with the most sophisticated weapons under the conditions at that time so that they can exert the greatest firepower effect in a short period of time. There is a huge difference in the strength shown. Although the commanders of our army did not know the concept of special operations at that time, the theories of war were the same. Whether you realized it or not, this small commando already possessed the characteristics of special forces.

In addition, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, our army's armed forces team behind enemy lines, and the squad formed during the liberation war in the Northeast to suppress bandits all have this characteristic. Therefore, our army is no stranger to special operations. In today's strategic situation where the world is divided into two camps, due to the arms race, the military forces of both sides are increasing and decreasing, entering a new round of equilibrium, and the danger of a new world war has been reduced. However, in some areas or at the junction of the outposts of the two sides, there will be a large number of infiltration and reverse osmosis conflicts. In this situation, our army should pay attention to and quickly form special operations units. The military science department should pay attention to this issue, and conduct scientific and systematic research on the selection of special forces personnel, equipment allocation, and training subjects. In view of the current state of war in the Taiwan Strait that has not yet ended, it is suggested that the first batch of special units should be formed on the front line to carry out shelling, infiltration and anti-infiltration special operations on the islands occupied by the enemy.

What the general trainees of the high command department are thinking about is the overall strategic pattern of the socialist camp against the capitalist camp. Specific to tactical issues, it is also considered from the perspective of large corps operations, while the special operations of small commandos are generally considered to be small tricks, which is a tactical issue in tactics. The lack of creative herd mentality manifested in the military field will inevitably lead to deviations in the strategic foresight of the generals. Ding Wei is good at using reverse thinking. His thinking never runs in a straight line, but jumps, sometimes retrograde, but spreads out at a certain point. Once his thinking enters the military field, it becomes extremely sharp. Ding Wei's thesis shocked everyone and caused an eight-magnitude earthquake in the Military Academy. "I have seen some big families with four generations living under the same roof. Generally, there are as many as one or two hundred people in the family. The head of the family is the oldest great-grandfather. It led to the disintegration of the big family. From this, I came to the conclusion that the stability of a big family is relative, but splitting is inevitable. Once the internal balance of the family is broken, it will collapse in an instant..." A person in charge of the review The lieutenant general who was commenting interrupted Ding Wei: "Major General Ding Wei, what exactly do you want to express?"

"Oh, please listen to me patiently. What I want to talk about is the key issues of the defense of our country's territory under the strategic situation of today's world. Please look at the map. The biggest threat to the south of our country comes from Taiwan and the areas occupied by the Kuomintang army . Islands, the indirect threat is the U.S. Seventh Fleet stationed in the Taiwan Strait. These threats are not enough to worry about. With Taiwan’s military strength, it is difficult to launch a major war. , unable to fight again in a short period of time, and the United States will not easily get involved in a large-scale war due to various factors such as the national system.”

"The Japanese military industry in the east of our country was completely destroyed during World War II, and it will be difficult to make a comeback within 20 years. In the west and southwest of our country, the only country capable of starting troubles is India. I predict that in the near future, our military will have There may be a limited border war with the Indian army in the mountainous areas of the Sino-Indian border area. India's industrial strength and military strength are not enough to pose a threat to our country. From the perspective of the combat area, the terrain is quite unfavorable to the Indian army. Look, as long as our army takes down a few important border towns tens of kilometers deep, the capital, New Delhi, will be safe to defend, and our army can send troops to attack Huanglong."

"The conclusion is that once a war breaks out on the southwestern border, it will be a limited border war. Our army will use no more than ten infantry regiments. It’s too much of a threat.” At this point, Ding Wei looked around and said: “Oh, everyone here is from our own people, and there is no Soviet adviser, so I dare to say something. Comrades, what I want to say next is From a military point of view, from a national defense point of view, I think the defense of our country should focus on the northwest, north, and northeast..." Before Ding Wei finished speaking, all the generals present were shocked. Ding Wei almost ate the guts of a leopard. Who are the northwest, north, and northeast of our country? It is the Soviet Union and Mongolia, the elders of the socialist family, the big brother, the head of the socialist camp, the country created by Lenin, and the heart of the world proletarian revolution. You regard the Soviet Union as a hypothetical enemy, as a Potential opponent, is there something wrong with his brain? The generals took out their handkerchiefs and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. They all turned their eyes to the dean sitting in the back row. His habits made it difficult for people to see his inclination. The marshal waved his hand, motioning for Ding Wei to continue talking.

"As I said just now, the stability of any big family is relative, so can it be considered that the same is true for military alliances between countries? Brothers and brothers can turn against each other for the sake of interests, so the alliance between countries It is more fragile. At any time, national interests are higher than ideological beliefs. As a big brother and a socialist family, what is difficult to do between brothers? Why not snatch the 1.5 million that the old tsar took away Return the square kilometers of land to us? I don’t think Big Brother will return it, not to mention Siberia’s resources, even if we lose the ice-free port in the Far East, Big Brother won’t be able to stand it. It will lose control of half of the Pacific Ocean. See See, the interests of the country and the nation are above everything else. When the Anti-Japanese War was won in 2045, I led my troops out of customs and dealt with the big brothers. Now that I think about it, I always feel a little bit like that.”

All the generals present were silent, the room was so quiet that even the tip of a needle could be heard falling, who wouldn't sweat for Ding Wei? "Comrades, what I am talking about today is not about political issues, and the length of time for establishing military alliances with fraternal countries is not within this scope. As a senior commander of our army, what I am considering is the issue of homeland defense among military issues. From a theoretical perspective Generally speaking, when a military power appears in the surrounding area of a country, no matter whether this military power intends to take action or not, in fact, a potential threat has already been formed, and the initiative to do it or not is in the hands of others. What we have to do is to plan ahead. It will be too late when others make a move. The big brother sent troops to the Northeast in 2045. The tactics are really beautiful. The advancing speed of the mechanized corps is astonishing, and the logistics support capabilities are simply impeccable. The level and specialization are commendable, and the encirclement of more than 800,000 Kwantung Army is like being destroyed. At that time, because of our position, we naturally clapped our hands. But thinking about it, one day in the future, Big Brother will repeat his old tricks and give us the same Come on, we can't stop laughing. SeeThe borders between my country and the Soviet Union and Mongolia are almost undefended, and the terrain is not conducive to us, so they are extremely vulnerable to attack. The Gobi and grasslands in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia are very suitable for the deployment of large-scale armored groups and motorized columns. This should be a strength. The strategic position of the northeast region of our country is advanced, and it is vulnerable to attacks from different directions. Once the opponent succeeds, our country will lose its heavy industry base and strategic resource base, and the consequences will be disastrous. A solid strategic support point, their Pacific Fleet can cruise along the coastline of our country. The Yellow Sea, the East China Sea and even the South China Sea will all be within the cruising range of the Pacific Fleet. Our coastline of more than 10,000 kilometers will be completely blocked, but the other party can go anywhere along the long coastline. Amphibious landing at one point. Comrades, this is not sensationalism or unfounded worry, but something that is likely to happen one day in the future. This potentially huge threat is real. Look at the composition of its military power. It has four major fleets , Pacific Fleet, Baltic Fleet, Northern Fleet and Black Sea Fleet. It is the only country in the world that has five major military services. In addition to the navy, land and air forces, it also has a strategic rocket force and a homeland defense force. Its military force composition is designed for global strategy, not just for homeland defense. They are capable of waging a war in any corner of the world, and their national polity is quicker and more effective than the Anglo-American countries in deciding whether to go to war. "

"In this regard, my conclusion is that a unified strategic concept should be formed, and the threat from the north should be given priority. The specific military deployment should be as follows: first, permanent defense fortifications should be established on the northeast border, Set up a large-depth defense zone, and the elite corps should be deployed in the second-line area as a strong strategic reserve; second, the northern and western borders, the defense focus should be set on the second line, for example, the defense fortifications in Inner Mongolia should be located in Daqingshan outside Zhangjiakou The front line, because fighting against the opponent’s mechanized corps on the prairie is purely based on its own shortcomings to attack the enemy’s strengths. Our army lacks capital, so we simply give up the Gobi and grasslands. Relying on terrain for defense; third, the frontline corps in the northeast It should have the strategic thinking of total attack and total defense. The specific implementation is to adopt the tactics of "you fight yours, I fight mine" to avoid the edge of the enemy's attack, and adopt the multi-channel counter-assault method to place the battlefield into the enemy's territory. Li Yunlong Comrade, your special operations unit can show its talents at this time. If you can cut off the main railway artery that runs through Siberia, the enemy's assault group will lose its logistical support, and the attack momentum will inevitably come to a halt. And... Forget it, let's not talk about it , as I said, this is just a simple issue of homeland defense. It has nothing to do with politics or diplomacy. If comrades have any ideas, you can treat it as a military confrontation game on the sand table." The generals present They were all silent, but they were terrified in their hearts, Ding Wei, you are really shocking the world, aren't you afraid of losing your head? Is this a joke? One of the Faculty's Ministry hit it off:

"Ding Wei, your political stance can be a problem. If you let it go on, the consequences will be dire..." The generals began to discuss, and the voices became more and more noisy, and there were a lot of arguments. The dean who was sitting in the back row suddenly stood up, waved his hand, and there was silence everywhere. The marshal looked calm and said word by word: "Everyone, don't make a fuss, this is not the General Staff Operations Department, and no one intends to start a war. This is a military academy, and all the debates here are academic discussions, and have nothing to do with national policy, politics, or diplomacy. Theoretically speaking, the military of any country in the world can be an imaginary opponent. A general, if there is no real opponent at the moment, he has to create an imaginary opponent, assuming that the enemy is just a code name, if you like, this code name can be called a cat or a dog.” The marshal’s words caused a burst of laughter, Ding Wei’s The thesis was approved.

After graduating from the military academy, Li Yunlong returned to the old army as the commander, Kong Jie returned to a field army stationed on the northeast border as the commander, Ding Wei was transferred to a large military region in the north as the chief of staff, Luo Dazheng, Chang Baosheng and others all Return to his old army as the commander. We are classmates, although bumps and bumps are unavoidable at times, but in the end we are all people who lead soldiers to fight, so we get together for a drink and it's over.

Before we broke up, everyone was drunk again. Ding Wei said: "There are many mountains in our People's Liberation Army. The First, Second, and Fourth Front Army of the Red Army added the Red 25th Army and 26th Army. Field army, which army doesn’t have its own mountain? What is a military academy? It’s a big frying pan. Put all the members of our four major field armies into the pot and fry them in one pot. After returning to the oven, put a unified label on them, so that everyone will be indistinguishable from each other. From now on, brothers will be found everywhere in the south, sea and north. If I, Ding Wei, come to beg for food one day, the brothers will still have to give me something to eat." Luo Dazheng said: "Damn, what are you talking about? If I eat, you will Eat, do you need to talk about it? I’ll fine you a drink for saying something unreasonable to you, drink!” Li Yunlong drank several glasses by himself with a gloomy face, then slammed the wine cup on the table and said, “Old Ding! , One day in the future, your nest will collapse, and there will be no place to hide from the wind and rain, remember, you come to me." Kong Jie stretched out a hand across the table and shook Ding Wei tightly, only saying He finished the sentence: "The door of my house is always open...Ding" Wei grabbed the bottle and drank it dry. He put down the bottle and looked up to the sky with a long smile and said: "The war is over, what use is Ding Wei? We are content with a small acre of land and a thatched house."

When Li Yunlong returned home, he found that his son Li Jian had reached the age of mischief. This child has been active since he was a child, and he never sits idle for a moment. If he doesn't pay attention, he will cause you some trouble. Tian Yu was very troubled by this, and she was also very busy with work. After graduating from the School of Foreign Languages, she was assigned to the intelligence department of the military region to work on data translation. She discussed with Li Yunlong to send her son to kindergarten. Li Yunlong stared at his mischievous son worriedly and said: "Is he okay? This kid hasn't turned the kindergarten upside down yet? Can the teacher manage it?" Tian Yu said: "Let him live a collective life. He's good, so I can't take care of him at home." On the first day of kindergarten, Li Yunlong and Tian Yu handed over their son to the teacher. The couple gave some instructions and were ready to leave. Li Jian went to a strange place. Seeing that his parents were about to leave he felt like he was about to be abandoned. He cried desperately, holding on to his mother's lapel, and it was useless to say anything. Li Yunlong got annoyed, he was in a hurry to go to a meeting, so he slapped his son's butt twice before he was able to get away. At noon, just after the meeting was over, Li Yunlong received a call from the head of the kindergarten, saying that Li Jian was making a fuss in the kindergarten and biting the teacher, and he asked Commander Li to go there. Li Yunlong was furious when he heard this. He rushed to the kindergarten in the Volga sedan assigned to him, and saw the teacher's hand had a circle of small tooth marks, which were already oozing blood. Without further ado, Li Yunlong opened the trunk of the car, picked up his son, pushed him in despite his son's desperate struggle, and closed the lid with a bang. The director and the driver were shocked when they saw it, and they all came up to dissuade them, saying: "Chief, the child is ignorant, how can he put it here?" Li Yunlong stared: "If you don't teach now, you won't be able to control it when you grow up. You can't be a bandit, let me get out of the way." No one dared to persuade her anymore, the head of the garden looked at the situation and was afraid of accidents, so he hurriedly called Tian Yu. When Li Yunlong got home, he took his son out of the trunk, tied him firmly to the bench with a backpack strap three or two times, picked up the cowhide armed belt, and lashed his ass. Immediately, two purple-red spots appeared on his son's white and tender ass. Li Jian burst into tears, and Li Yunlong became even angrier: "Damn, can't resist after just two strokes? I have such a bear son yesterday? He must be a traitor when he grows up." Down. Unexpectedly, his son stopped crying. He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Yunlong without saying a word, with an expression of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. Li Yunlong's anger came up again, and he slapped a few belts again, roaring in his mouth:

"Mother, is it reasonable for you to make a mistake? You stare at me clearly because you are not convinced, and you still don't admit your mistake. If you don't admit your mistake, I will beat you to death." The son gritted his teeth and said, "I won't admit my mistake." The son's tough attitude made Li Yunlong Somewhat at a loss, he looked at his son's purple butt, and said to himself that this little bastard is really my kind, his mouth is tough enough, if he begs for mercy, where will I put my father's face? After thinking about it, she picked up the belt again... "Stop!" Tian Yu rushed in from the outside like a lioness, she protected her son and shouted at Li Yunlong desperately: "You are such a small child, you have such a murderous hand!" ? You are not disciplining the children, you are trying to kill someone, why don't you just beat me and the children to death..." Li Yunlong also followedHe regretted that his hands were too heavy, and when he didn't go down the steps, he threw down his belt and went down the steps, lecturing: "Hmph, it's my father's fault if I don't raise him, I don't care about this kid, if there is trouble, one day he dares to kill someone I'll let you off today, I'll write an inspection for me tonight..." Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that his son was still illiterate.
