Great Power Technology.

Chapter 287 The Fourth Competition

"Individual fire control radar? How did it work?"

Hearing Ye Zhou's words, Man Guangzhi asked.

"Integrated design of exoskeleton and weapons, information exchange between smart sights and fire control sensors, artificial intelligence impact point analysis. There are a lot of technologies involved, and the exoskeleton is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, they have invested more in it than we have seen. More."

"Ugly Country is indeed a strong opponent."

"If we are not strong, we will not be suppressed by them for so many years."

Man Guangzhi shook his head slightly, there was still worry on his face, but there was no hint of frustration.

For him, challenges have come one after another like this. It has been the case in the past few decades, and I am afraid it will be the same in the next few decades.

Even if we surpass Ugly Country, for Huaxia, there will always be higher mountains to climb, because our goal is not to surpass them, but to surpass ourselves.

Man Guangzhi fed back the two people's analysis conclusions on the video to his superiors, then logged out of the account, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and then said:
"I feel that Ugly Country's intention to release this video this time is not as simple as showing the results of the battle. Comrade Ye, you are also an old comrade with rich experience in struggle-although you are not very old, I know that you have worked in the chip, aviation, The energy sector is all dominant.”

"So, I would like to ask your opinion, from the perspective of a person in the non-military field, what do you think their purpose is?"

Ye Zhou pondered for a moment, then replied:

"I feel like this is a demonstration."

“How come you see?”

Man Guangzhi asked.

"To clarify the other party's intentions, we should first understand the historical stage we are in now."

"The last 20 years have seen the rapid development of our country's economy and technology, and gradually gained international influence close to that of our opponents. The most intuitive and concrete manifestation of this influence is the new energy campaign some time ago."

"In that battle, we completely ended the other party's energy hegemony, devoured a large amount of their interests, and dealt a blow to their capital group that was even painful."

"We boiled this situation down to one sentence, which is that we have started to take chips from the opponent's table that are ours."

"However, it is obviously impossible for them to accept this change-the more chips in our hands, the fewer chips in their hands. Unless there is a technological breakthrough one day and the original chip pool is expanded, the two sides will have May enter a period of gentle development."

"This kind of technological breakthrough is unlikely to happen in the short term. Even if we can throw out controllable nuclear fusion now, it is impossible to immediately change the pattern of insufficient productivity. Therefore, we will definitely go through a long-term process of bargaining chips. This process Definitely going to be accompanied by conflict."

"There is a very famous judgment in the international field, that is, in times of peace, all countries tend to hide their strength, but the more severe the situation is, the faster they will reveal their cards."

"This is why we have shifted from 'war suddenness' to 'war terrorism' in the past two years."

“这样的转变在历史上已经发生过不止一次了，最典型的案例包括16-18世纪的英法荷西普俄竞争、19-20世纪美苏（俄）德英法竞争、以及20世纪中后期的那次最著名的竞争。”

"The first two rivalries ended in war, and the last one, because significant deterrence existed, was resolved peacefully."

"Now, what we are about to enter is the fourth competition after the industrial age. Both sides have noticed this trend and have begun to show each other their cards."

"However, the opponent's determination is greater than ours."

"Our purpose is to scare off the opponent, but they want us to give up our advantages and give up our advantages. Therefore, this also leads to a result: their demonstration of new technologies will be more thorough and deterrent."

"That's why I said it was a demonstration."

"If this is a Texas Hold'em game, then the fourth river card has been dealt in this game, and the final confrontation is about to begin, so at this time, they will use various methods to To hint, or even reveal their cards."

"Their purpose is to make us fold before the final battle."

Man Guangzhi nodded and replied:
"This is also my judgment. However, I still have a question, that is, how can the opponent be sure that they have a bigger hole card than us?"

"Don't be sure, because their cards are bigger than ours."

"Decades of technology accumulation is not a joke. The opponent has led the world for more than 30 years in many fields, especially the military industry. If it weren't for the bridal sedan chair project, our aviation discovery still can't touch the opponent's technical level in the 70s. "

"What we can do is to work hard, try to catch up, and use the good cards we already have in our hands to create the illusion that we have all good cards in our hands."

"Use this illusion to hold them back, so as to buy time for ourselves, and then slowly modify those bad cards and change the bad cards into good cards!"

"Understood, I will report your opinion to the superior."

Man Guangzhi nodded solemnly. As the commander-in-chief of the Blue Army, the depth and breadth of strategic information he had access to definitely did not belong to Ye Zhou, so he understood and absorbed Ye Zhou's judgment of the situation almost immediately.

So, is the time for the balance of terror coming again?
It was still the same table, the same game, but this time the players were changed.

So, will the results change?
For him, the answer is yes—it's a deep-seated belief that has nothing to do with anything else.

After a short pause, Man Guangzhi continued:

"If you deduce it according to your theory, we should have some bigger actions in the near future-I'm just talking about military actions."

"As far as I know, the International Military Competition will start in August, and it will probably become a platform for our opponents to show their strength."

"We must not lose to them there - not just to give confidence to our own people, but more importantly, to give confidence to wavering 'allies' internationally."

"I'm not wrong about this, am I?"

"That's right. However, the specific form, I think the superiors need to discuss it further. That's a matter for your professionals. I don't express unprofessional opinions."

Hearing this, a smile finally appeared on Man Guangzhi's face, and he said to Ye Zhou in a slightly teasing tone:

"Comrade Ye, to be honest, before I met you, I always regarded you as a pure technician, but after talking with you so much today, I realized that I underestimated you. "

"It's not just about technology and combat experience. Your understanding of the big picture is far beyond my imagination—how did you do it? You're only 24 years old this year, right?"

Ye Zhou shook his head slightly, but did not answer.

But he already had an answer in his heart.

With such understanding, his "decision maker" talent naturally played a certain role, but more importantly, he had indeed seen that future.

After bidding farewell to Man Guangzhi, Ye Zhou boarded the return plane. On the plane, Ye Zhou looked at Zhu Rihe base that was gradually going away, and sighed deeply.

He originally thought that with the technological breakthroughs one by one, Huaxia would soon enter the period of strategic counter-offensive, and could crush the opponent through technology to achieve the goal of checks and balances. And accumulation is indeed not so easy to break.

Now what they see is just a mechanical exoskeleton, but what about the other side?
Sixth-generation aircraft, aircraft carriers, high-energy weapons, and even biology, materials science, and chemistry in the civilian field. There is really no way to make up for the gaps in all aspects so quickly.

Fortunately, it's only been two years now.

There is still time—however, technical preparations also need to be done as soon as possible.

As he said before, the game has entered the final round, and the opponent's hands are full of good cards, while our hands only have a limited number of cards.

It is not impossible to win this game, but it still needs a long and painful struggle.

However, now I have a faster and more effective solution.

That is, change cards directly.

The next simulation needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
