life in the sky

The U.S. Seventh Mechanized Division departing from Islamabad also successfully completed the retreat task, and all retreated to the Afghan base overnight.Seeing this situation, the officers of the Huaxia General Staff exclaimed that it is a pity that if Iran adopts Huaxia's suggestion, even if the two divisions of the United States cannot be wiped out, at least they will be severely damaged.With the loss of these two divisions, the U.S. forces in Afghanistan will be even more stretched, and it will also accelerate the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.

"Chief, what did the Iranian commander do? His head was flooded or he was squeezed by the door. The NATO coalition forces couldn't see such an obvious strategic purpose. If they followed our advice, they would attack the two divisions of the US military in advance. Launching an attack, I am afraid this will not be the case.”

Mu Congwu smiled bitterly and said: "Most of the senior commanders of the Iranian army have experience in commanding operations. They think that we haven't fought a war for decades, and we are inferior to them in this respect, so it is inevitable that we will It is normal for some people not to believe what we mean, and not to follow our suggestions. Besides, this is also a matter of national strategy. It is very beneficial for Iran to return the two American divisions to Afghanistan. It will force us to continue to strengthen strategic cooperation with Iran. I think this is the most fundamental reason why Iran did not follow our advice.

Mu Congwu's analysis is not bad at all. The Iranian side really intends to do so. If they want to continue to support China, they must have a common enemy for both sides. The US garrison in Afghanistan is not only a threat to Iran's security. It also threatens China's security. Under such circumstances, China naturally wants to form a close strategic alliance with Iran for a long time.If the United States withdraws its troops from Afghanistan, the two sides will have no common enemy, and China may not spare no effort to continue to support Iran. This is a typical small-country strategic balance mentality of Iran.

The threat of the U.S. First Mountain Infantry Division to the Zahedan Railway was lifted, and a large number of weapons, equipment and combat materials stored in Pakistan by Huaxia were continuously transported to Iran by railway.In just a few days, Iran deployed ten battalions equipped with Chinese-made Hongqi 16 air defense missile battalions in the capital Tehran, and established an indestructible air defense firepower network over Tehran.Now that the regional air defense in the south of Yazd has the Chinese Air Force, Iran has used all its fighters in the north of Yazd, competing with the NATO Air Force for air supremacy.

Two days later, the United States deployed two more airborne divisions and three mechanized divisions to Iraq.Based on this situation, the General Staff of Huaxia quickly issued a warning to Iran that within the next 72 hours, the US military will launch an attack on Mehran and Hanagan, and pointed out that the geographical location of this area is extremely special. Outside of Er's mountains, there are almost all low-lying plains that are flat and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This time Iran followed China's advice, mobilized two heavy armored divisions and three revolutionary guards, and concentrated one-third of its combat aircraft, determined to defend this area and prepare to attack the area. Large and medium cities block the U.S. military and strive to defeat the U.S. military in urban warfare.You must know that this area is the southern gate of Tehran.If this place is occupied by NATO coalition forces, Tehran will be in jeopardy.

Although Iran's determination is quite strong, whether it can hold it is another question. According to the report of the Huaxia Military Intelligence Department, the Huaxia General Staff judged that it is still quite difficult for Iran to hold this area.

There are many reasons for this, but there are mainly the following two points. One is that the preparations for the war are very insufficient, and the preparation time left for Iran is quite limited.After the war broke out, the large-scale bombing by the U.S. severely restricted the mobilization and deployment of the Iranian army, resulting in the lack of various supplies needed for combat by the Iranian army stationed in various cities.After the ground battle started, it was too late for Iran to provide assistance to troops stationed everywhere.

The second is that the U.S. military’s urban warfare capabilities have been greatly improved. After more than ten years of training on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. military has summarized many urban warfare tactics and developed a large number of weapons and equipment specially used for urban warfare.In the battle against major cities in Iraq, the U.S. military demonstrated very strong combat capabilities.

Text two thousand eight hundred and ten chapters three heavy responsibilities and a long way to go

In order to better complete the unprecedented important work of political system reform, the Political Bureau of the Central Committee decided to list Beishan Province, Jiangnan Province, and Shuangnan City as pilot units.

Chief No. [-] summoned Gao Hongbin, Secretary of the Beishan Provincial Party Committee, and Fan Pingao, Secretary of the Jiangnan Provincial Party Committee, and had a long conversation with them, making arrangements for the reform of the political system in these two provinces.

Mu Congwen, secretary of the Shuangnan Municipal Party Committee, is also a member of the Politburo. When the central government made a decision to reform the political structure, the Politburo held several meetings to study it. Mu Congwen also knew what to do. Of course, No. [-] was spared program.

Gao Hongbin is very clear that this is the last important job he will do during his term of office, and Gao Hongbin will retire during the next contemporary meeting, that is to say, whether Gao Hongbin can do this job well will depend on him for decades Whether his political career can draw a successful conclusion is a big question.

Fan Pingao, as an old subordinate of Chief No. [-], also understands the importance of this job. If he can do it well, maybe he still has room for development. So much for his political future.

Mu Congwen has another idea. Although his age is about to reach the limit, this reform of the political system is related to the future of the country and the nation, and it will create conditions for the next central leadership. He said it was to pave the way for his nephew Mu Guoxing's policy.

Although the starting points of the three people are different, their ideas are the same, and they all want to do a good job in this work. Perhaps this is the main reason why the central government listed these three provinces and cities as pilot units.

System reform is a major issue that concerns the future of the country, so it is natural to be cautious and serious about it.Judging from the situation of these three pilot units, the Standing Committee of the Ninth National Congress has also spent a lot of thought. The success or failure of the pilot units will be the key to whether the political system reform can continue.

Gao Hongbin arrived in the capital one day earlier than Fan Pingao. After coming out of Zhongnanhai, he first visited Mr. Mu, then Mu Congjun, and finally went to Mu Guoxing's Yiletang at the appointed time.

Gao Hongbin, who was sitting in the car, had a sense of pride in his heart. The three generations of the Mu family were all people who would shake their feet in the Chinese political arena. It is a great honor to be one of the three, but he can travel between these three families. There are not many people in China who have this kind of treatment.

Under the guidance of the staff, Gao Hongbin walked into a reception room. A waitress brought tea to Gao Hongbin and said with a smile: "Secretary Gao, the chief is talking with someone, please wait a moment."

Gao Hongbin smiled and nodded, and looked at the reception room. Since Mu Guoxing entered the leadership core, this is the third time Gao Hongbin has come to Yi Letang, and the reception room he entered is different every time.

This reception room was not too big, only about [-] square meters at full cost. It was obviously a place where Mu Guoxing had individual conversations with the cadres below.The layout of the entire reception room is very simple, except for a sofa covered with a white cloth cover, there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall. The four big characters "heavy responsibilities and long way to go" are vigorous and powerful, and Gao Hongbin knew at a glance that this was the handwriting of Mr. Mu.

Gao Hongbin understood a little bit, and the head of No. [-] chose this place to meet him, which was quite meaningful.The four words "A heavy responsibilities and a long way to go" are not only to Mu Guoxing himself, but also to remind those who are qualified to enter this reception room.

"The chief is here." Following the staff's announcement, Mu Guoxing walked in vigorously.

"Secretary Gao is here, but I'm sorry I didn't go to greet you."

This sentence is very interesting, it can not only reflect the relationship between the two people's superiors and subordinates, but also reflect Mu Guoxing's respect for Gao Hongbin.One must know that Gao Hongbin used to be Mu Lao's old subordinate, so to speak, he was also Mu Guoxing's elder. Now that the central government has entrusted such an important job to Gao Hongbin, Mu Guoxing must be very polite.

"The chief is busy with work, so there is no need to worry about these small things."

After shaking hands and greetings, the two sat down as guests and hosts.Mu Guoxing said, "Have Number One talked to you?"

"No. [-] gave important instructions to the pilot work of political system reform in Beishan Province, and it also built confidence for us to carry out this work."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "The reform of the political system is something we have been preparing for for decades. The central government put one of the pilot units in Beishan Province this time, which is the trust in you."

Gao Hongbin reported the work of Beishan Province to Mu Guoxing, and he had already talked about it once in front of No. [-], but this time it was more systematic and coherent.Mu Guoxing listened carefully with a smile, and nodded from time to time to express his appreciation for the achievements of Beishan Province.

"The report written by the Beishan Provincial Party Committee to the Central Committee requested that Zheng Wei be adjusted to be the deputy secretary of the Provincial Party Committee. However, considering some specific circumstances, I did not agree with your opinion. I personally think that letting Zheng Wei serve as the executive vice-governor would not It is still necessary for him to exercise more on the government side."

Hearing Mu Guoxing's words, Gao Hongbin strengthened his original judgment: After this political system reform, No. [-] will be mainly responsible for the construction of the cadre team and the party's supervision of the government, and Mu Guoxing will be mainly responsible for the government. In terms of work, it seems that he put Zheng Wei in Beishan Province for training, mainly to train and reserve talents for the central government.

According to the promotion and use of cadres, the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and the deputy governor are both deputy ministerial-level cadres, but there are still many invisible steps.If a vice-governor cadre wants to take up a provincial position, he must first enter the standing committee from a non-committee vice-governor, and after a period of training, he will serve as the executive vice-governor and then the deputy secretary of the provincial committee.Only when the conditions are right can he serve as the governor, and then the governor becomes the secretary of the provincial party committee. Only then has the leap from a deputy ministerial-level cadre to a ministerial-level cadre been completed.

If you only work in the provincial government without serving as the deputy secretary of the provincial party committee, it is difficult to become a ministerial-level cadre.This is China's unique political system model, and it can also be said to be unique.

Thinking of this, Gao Hongbin has a better understanding of the reform of the political system. In the future, Huaxia will implement a political model in which the three powers stand together, supervise each other, and promote each other. You can also become a ministerial leader.This means that in the future, the work of the three systems of the party, the government, and the people's congress will be selectively promoted and used by the Political Bureau of the Central Committee and the Standing Committee according to the different work talents and characteristics of each person. practice.

"The reform of the political system is a major event. While carrying out this work, we must ensure social stability. We must grasp the rhythm of the work. We must not be timid or too aggressive. Do you have a preliminary idea in this regard? What's your thinking?"

"Chief, since accepting this task, the Provincial Party Committee has held several meetings to study this issue. We are going to take out a city as a pilot, and I will personally lead the work. The first step is to establish Carry out direct election of cadres at the county and township level, sum up experience, and then promote it throughout the province."

Mu Guoxing is very clear that Gao Hongbin's job idea is still very safe. Now the central government's policies have been supported by the broad masses of the people. The blind command regardless of the situation in the economic development is on.Cadres at the county and township level are the foundation of the Huaxia regime. The quality of the work of this group of cadres will directly represent the image of the central government and the government. If the people can elect trustworthy cadres themselves, this problem will not be resolved for a long time Conflicts will be resolved smoothly.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In the combat headquarters of the Huaxia General Staff, Mu Congwu once again held a combat meeting. It is more appropriate to say that it is the Huaxia General Staff Headquarters rather than the Iranian Three-Services Command commanding the Iranian army in this war.

If Iran had followed the advice of the General Staff of China, the situation of the war would have been reversed long ago, but it was because of Iran's self-willedness or its own considerations that the war fell into a stalemate. Iran's more than 80 troops actually fought However, there are 10,000+ NATO coalition forces. In addition to the gap in equipment, what is more important is the gap in military philosophy and command art.

It is precisely because of Iran's disobedience that the war situation is developing in the direction China hopes.Prolonging the US-Iran war as long as possible, dragging the United States to death in the quagmire of the Iranian battlefield, and further weakening the economic and military strength of the United States, this is the result that China most hopes to see.

In fact, it can’t be blamed that the Iranian commanders are too stupid. The main reason is that the advice provided by Huaxia to them is too ambiguous. As for whether this was the deliberate action of the Huaxia General Staff, I am afraid that everyone knows it very well.

In this way, the Iranian side suffered a loss and could not say anything. After all, the Huaxia side had already provided them with suggestions. If Iran made a wrong choice or did not adopt it, who can be blamed?

Ma Hongming said at the meeting: "The purpose of the NATO coalition forces is obvious. They have adjusted the offensive focus of this war in a timely manner, from the original simultaneous advance to a breakthrough in the middle. Now they are holding back Iran by 40.00% in the Daburi theater. % of the ground troops, and dragged 30.00% of the troops on the center line in Ilam, and the remaining 30.00% are some ground defense troops. If the U.S. annihilates the 30.00% of Iran’s troops in the Ilam area, Iran’s war The situation is bound to undergo a very big change. After losing nearly one-third of the main force, how can Iran defend the second line of defense and the vast deep area?

Mu Congwu nodded: "The same problem is now facing the NATO coalition forces. If NATO has enough confidence and strength to invade this area at a relatively low cost, they will come to Tehran and threaten The stability of the Iranian regime. If they lack the strength in this area, they will be trapped in the Alam region if they hesitate a little bit. At this time, the other 30 local Iranian troops will play a huge role."

With the laser pointer in Mu Guoxing's hand, he drew a large circle in the Alam area: "Faced with this severe situation, Iran can only adopt guerrilla tactics. It will be difficult for the U.S. military caught in guerrilla warfare to play its fullest role." The role of corps operations. Although Iran cannot beat the U.S. military armed to the teeth on the frontal battlefield, it is their strong point on the guerrilla battlefield. At least, the U.S. military has not yet been able to summarize effective tactics against guerrillas. Whether in Iraq , or on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the U.S. military failed to wipe out the guerrillas.”

"Chief, do you want to inform the Iranian side of this situation?"

Mu Congwu shook his head with a smile: "I don't think so, we have already given too many suggestions to the Iranian side. If you point fingers in front of others all day long, no matter how good a friend is, it will be annoying. Those Iranian commanders They are not fools, and they will not fail to see this. The next step is to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. At this point in the war, the NATO coalition forces should also have a taste of sweetness. Otherwise, how can we keep people Woolen cloth?"

Ma Hongming glanced at Mu Congwu, did not speak, just nodded slightly, he did not fully understand the strategic policy of the central government until this time, and it is only in the interests of Iran to drive out the NATO coalition forces as soon as possible. But it is not necessarily expected to have this result.

With the gradual deepening of the ground war, the anti-war sentiment in the United States is increasing day by day. The huge number of casualties and war losses make most Americans very disappointed with the Bowman government.

The only thing that makes the Bowman government feel gratified is that they have received strong support from the arms group and the energy group. You must know that wars are fought on the consumption of materials and logistical supplies. These interest groups make a lot of money, but unfortunately Ordinary people in the United States.

In the fourth week of the war, U.S. Secretary of Defense Chase announced the budget plan for additional military expenditures for the year. According to the budget of the Department of Defense, the United States will pay up to 8000 billion yuan in additional military expenses in this war, of which 6000 billion will be used For the purchase of weapons, equipment and ammunition, 500 billion will be used to pay for additional personnel costs and compensation for casualties, and another 500 billion will be used for the development of new weapons and equipment.

It can also be said that the U.S. Department of Defense has no choice but to spend 500 billion yuan on the development of new weapons and equipment.In this war, the Huaxia weapons used by Iran left a deep impression on the U.S. military. Not only China’s advanced J-18 and J-20 fighter jets, but also the Hongqi-16 air defense missiles provided by China to Iran also gave them a headache. No, not to mention Iran's heavy anti-aircraft carrier missile imitated by China.

For many years, the United States has claimed to be the number one military power in the world. When they woke up, they found that they had been left far behind by China.Not to mention conventional weapons, even the anti-missile defense system established by Huaxia is beyond their reach. Isn't it too late for them to realize that they are falling behind?

In the seventh week of the US-Iraq War, the US military that attacked Ilam and Bakhtaran achieved great victories. The two US airborne divisions attacked Khorama, a large city in western Iran, in a very short period of time. Bader and Sanan Daji blocked the retreat of the Iranian army and formed an encirclement situation.

At the same time, the three mechanized divisions of the US military in Iraq also launched a fierce attack on this area. In just 72 hours, the two heavy armored divisions and the three revolutionary guards of Iran's deployment here were destroyed. Completely defeated.
