If this exercise is carried out within the army, if there is any problem, we should digest it internally and accumulate experience. After all, the projection and supply of Tibetan Plateau is a worldwide problem.
If not, the border counterattack in those years would not have ended in less than a month, but could not support a long-term battle in terms of logistics.
Even though the army had only invested two armies at that time, with a total of 50000 people, and the gravity of artillery was not sufficient, the logistics department mobilized 280000 migrant workers in southwest provinces, and carried countless livestock for three or four months, barely allowing the front-line troops to make a short surprise attack.
It can be seen from this that if we wanted to continue fighting at that time, the overall logistics pressure would be great. It is estimated that the mobilization of migrant workers alone would exceed the sum of the two major campaigns of Huaihai and Pingjin.
This was very difficult for new China, which was only ten years old and still in a difficult stage of development.
Even in the early 1990s, after decades of mobilization, China could not afford it.
Because of this, the strategic projection or logistics supply exercises on the Tibetan Plateau have always been conducted with little thunder and heavy rain. Even if we make up our mind, the final results are still unsatisfactory.
The reason is very simple. For so many years, the whole inland province is still connected with the Tibetan Plateau by the Qinghai Tibet highway, Xinzang highway and Sichuan Tibet highway. In addition, the railway is still proving that there are few planes suitable for taking off and landing on the plateau. Under such conditions, even if the ambition is great, it will be defeated by the complicated road conditions.
As the saying goes, it's hard to get to Qingtian on the Sichuan Road. Compared with the Sichuan Road, which is hard to get to Qingtian, the road to Tibet is the real father. Floods, landslides, mud rock flows, earthquakes, collapses, snow disasters Only you can't think of, there is no road to Tibet can't do.
If you are lucky enough to run rampant along the three roads into Tibet, Congratulations, you are definitely the old driver among the old drivers, and the roads all over the world will be at your disposal.
No matter how good the internal summary of such a situation is, anyway, the tone of the exercise is to find problems and correct deficiencies. But now there are a lot of foreign military observers, that's all. Countries like New Delhi also bring military journalists, obviously they want to report well.
In this case, let alone a big problem, it's just a small problem. Those big mouthed New Delhi media can stir up big events for you, and then there are all kinds of ridicule, all kinds of satire, until it's worthless.
It involves the safety of officers and soldiers, the proper equipment and assets, and finally the honor of the army and the country. It is impossible for Xue Weidong not to sweat about how to carry out his vigorous and resolute work.
Unlike Xue Weidong, the on-site commander-in-chief, who was worried, Brigadier General Singh, a senior military observer in New Delhi, put his hands around his chest on the foreign military viewing platform. Then he put up a thumb and smoothed the thick black beard on his lips, which made him feel quite comfortable.
Next to him was commander godopay, a military journalist who came with Singh. At the moment, godopay was holding the Nikon SLR camera he had just bought, and he pointed the lens at brigadier general Singh, reminding him: "general, look at the lens!"
New Delhi people are very fond of taking pictures. Brigadier general Singh, as a senior officer of the army, can't help but be vulgar. When he hears the words, he turns his head immediately, his mouth full of beard rises with enthusiasm, showing the charming smile of a Bollywood male star.
Godopay immediately pressed the shutter, engraved singer's most full smile on the film together with the vast plateau and Gobi background, immediately nodded with satisfaction, put down the camera, and said to singer with compliments: "this time, I will give them this picture of New Delhi today. I have thought about the title, which is called" the peaceful life of our general " Looking at a country's plateau exercise with a mental attitude. "
"Although some implicit, but it accurately expressed my true attitude." Singh laughs more happily, his words are implicit, but his words are not implicit at all.
The Chinese translator next to him frowned. What does that mean? I don't think the army's strategic projection exercise is going to work, is it?
As a result, as soon as the translator's idea came into being, godopay's next words were completely true: "I'm not optimistic about this strategic delivery exercise. What is strategic delivery? I did this research when I was studying at the Royal Army Academy in sanchezt, UK.
The conclusion is self-evident. In this world, except for the United States and the Soviet Union, no country has the ability to do strategic projection, because it includes all-round maneuvering and projection capabilities on land, sea and air. Obviously, the Chinese people do not have such ability, so I think they seem to have mistaken the concept of strategic projection. "
"My dear lieutenant colonel godopay, your western style military academy education fills your mind with western style realism..." Singh shook his head after hearing godopay's words. Godopay's heart thumped when he heard the words. Is it difficult for him to make his own idea dissatisfied with the brigadier general?
But when godopay was a little nervous, he heard Singh continue to say: "however, you forget that Asia, especially the pedantic East Asia, is full of magic, and their vanity is stronger than that of us Indians.
Strategic delivery, what a powerful word. To be honest, if you give me one month's preparation time, organize two or three convoys to set out from Calcutta or Mumbai in advance, and then invite military observers from all over the world to participate in the so-called strategic delivery exercise in the highland area of Kashmir a month later, I think our troops in New Delhi will do better than those here! "As soon as the words came out, the Chinese translator on one side suddenly turned red, French and purple with a face that was already plateau red. If he didn't worry about the wrong occasion, he would have gone all out with the two New Delhi ghosts.
But when he was angry in front of him, he sighed helplessly. Although Singh's words were ironic, the fact was exactly what he said.
In order to better complete the strategic delivery exercise, the army organized six convoys to advance to the exercise area one month ahead of schedule from Xinzang and Qingzang, which are slightly better roads to Tibet.
With such a long preparation time and so many alternative teams, no matter how bad the road condition is, there will always be one or two teams arriving at the Ali drill ground in accordance with the prescribed time.
Although this can achieve the so-called foolproof, it seems to be some for the troops who often need to deal with emergencies
Perhaps he was aware of the abnormality of the translators around him and was ready to put in a knife, or he didn't care at all. After saying what he had just said, Singh stroked his beard on his lips and commented confidently: "so, this is the best opportunity for you to witness the military magic in East Asia. Use Nikon camera to record it well. I believe your photos are better than all languages Be strong. "
"All right, general Singh." Godopay nodded, then picked up the camera again, ready to take another picture of singer with a wise look of a philosopher.
Just then, there was a "buzz ~ ~" in the distant sky. Godopay, who was about to take a picture, was stunned. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. After only one look, his happy expression solidified on his face. He cried out in disbelief: "plane? How is that possible? The Chinese used the plane
