Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Iraq, not far from the Caucasus, is still under the control of China and the United States. Although the two countries have reached an agreement to intentionally divide their spheres of influence, the post-war reconstruction and order issues in Iraq are still unresolved.  The other countries participating in the war basically understood each other and returned to their homeland one after another after completely overcoming the biological crisis. No one was willing to stay in this ghost place for another minute.  However, China and the United States took this opportunity to maintain a relatively large military presence in Iraq.

    The public opinion trend in the United States has not subsided. The deaths of thousands of Americans cannot be ignored. For this, U.S. President Bush Sr. must be responsible for this. Some Democratic congressmen originally planned to impeach him, but Bush Sr.  However, due to worries, he fell ill during a meeting and was hospitalized for several days to recuperate. He also determined that he would no longer participate in the election of the new US president.  The Democratic Party believed that it had a good chance of catching the Republican bastard, so it did not dwell on this issue anymore.

    With the Democratic Party holding back, the U.S. military's various deployments in Iraq were struggling. Even many U.S. soldiers who occupied Iraq were mentally unstable and wanted to go home. In the end, the U.S. Department of Defense had to rotate those who participated in the war.  The U.S. military was transferred back and then deployed new troops in Iraq.  Although the new troops did not like this job, at last there was nothing in Iraq that could threaten the US military, so they accepted it with pinched noses.

    China, which had won consecutive battles in the Middle East and even saved a biochemical crisis, became the most popular person in the Gulf.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chinese business delegations frequently visited the Gulf countries and signed a series of business cooperation agreements and tariff reduction agreements with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait and other countries. A large number of Chinese goods also began to appear in the Middle East by taking this opportunity.  situation.  Even Americans did not expect this. By the time someone noticed this problem, the Arabs in the Middle East had become accustomed to high-quality and low-priced Chinese goods, and China's economic power had successfully penetrated into this region.

    Especially the sales of some high value-added industrial products, such as telecommunications products, oil exploration and chemicals, environmental protection technology, seawater desalination and the like. Originally, the Gulf countries did not know that China had such strong capabilities, but they took this opportunity to become interested.  After understanding this, this type of products began to enter the Middle East on a large scale.

    Of course, the most conspicuous thing is that China's major oil companies have also taken this opportunity to sign many cooperation agreements with local oil companies. Some are to directly develop oil fields, some are to provide technical support and guarantees to the royal family's oil companies, and some are  Underwriting Agreement.  Several major Western oil giants couldn't help but cry wolf. HP, Shell, Mobil, etc., which were originally very influential here, have all been affected to a certain extent.

    Qi Yiming¡¯s plan is very hidden. On the one hand, he has accumulated income capacity by exporting a large amount of goods to Middle Eastern countries, and on the other hand, he has used oil transactions to hedge the surplus.  After a period of time, Middle Eastern countries will discover a problem. This kind of transaction using US dollars is actually not as cost-effective as using RMB. Therefore, oil, a real contemporary hard currency, will decouple from the US dollar and be pegged to the RMB.

    This currency strategy was actually implemented in countries such as Iran more than 20 years after China's economic influence greatly increased in another dimension. It was not enough to affect several important oil-producing countries in the Gulf, but with the convenience at this time  , Qi Yiming is confident to carve up the influence of the US dollar as the world's reserve currency and general foreign exchange.  No one can directly understand Qi Yiming's intention yet, but by the time people understand it, it will be too late for the United States to use any tricks to save it.

    Because of his performance in the war and the recommendation of the troops, Li Chen was promoted to a second lieutenant after the war.  Compared with ordinary second lieutenants, he is slightly older, and his future development prospects are actually not promising, but Li Chen still cherishes what he has gained today.

    After the war, he returned to China and got married to his sweetheart, Dilinal. However, their sweet newlywed life did not last long, and the sweet couple had to separate for a period of time after a transfer order.  Because the two battalions of the -10th Division under his command were re-recruited and went to the Doha Barracks in Kuwait and the Basra Barracks in Iraq for a six-month rotation.

    Not only are they tasked with maintaining security and order in southern Iraq, but Li Chen is also tasked with helping the Kuwaiti Army form the "Chinese Arms Brigade".

    After the Gulf War, the Chinese Army's overwhelming, invincible and invincible spirit on the battlefield shocked and admired many countries. Especially Kuwait, whose territory was occupied and the royal family fled, hopes to obtain the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Army so that it can  Better protect the country.

    Coincidentally, the Chinese Army was stationed in Kuwait, and Kuwait proposed that pL send a military advisory group and instructors to assist the Kuwaiti Army in learning the Chinese Army's training model, so as to improve its combat effectiveness as soon as possible and create an army with limited scale but extraordinary combat effectiveness.  .

    In order to build such an army, Kuwait paid a large sum of money and purchased military equipment from the Chinese Army almost from beginning to end.A complete set of Chinese-made weapons was replaced.  Including the VT-IA main battle tanks and VNll tracked armored vehicles that they had ordered earlier but have not yet fully arrived.  They even used Chinese 6 rifles.  Rmm caliber, purchased 100,000 Chinese Type 21 (611) automatic rifles.

    With the help of China's pLAR spoon, the Kuwait Army will establish three armored brigades, two mechanized infantry brigades, a mechanized reconnaissance brigade, an artillery brigade, an engineer brigade, and two reserve brigades.  In order to complete the construction of these units, Kuwait purchased more VT-IA tanks and added various army equipment such as VNl wheeled infantry fighting vehicles, l55mm caliber pL45 self-propelled artillery, and 2m caliber E-self-propelled rocket launchers.

    Of course, it is impossible for the PLA to help Kuwait build a new army according to its own formation model. Because of the different levels of informatization, the Chinese Army has basically achieved the level of a digital force, and the equipment exported is still at the end of the mechanization era.  Strong communication capabilities, but still slightly inferior to the level of true digitalization.

    Kuwait naturally knows that it is basically impossible to completely learn the skills of the Chinese Army. Although you may not be able to draw a tiger based on a tiger, at least it will not be too outrageous to draw like a cat, like a leopard or something.  Very satisfied.

    Therefore, the Chinese military advisers and instructors who are actually training the new Kuwaiti Army are doing something specious.  Many things are the contents of the Blue Army Division-10, but they also incorporate a lot of Red Army tactical ideas. Things like the revolutionary spirit of the Chinese army have been eliminated by the Kuwaitis. They probably need to be loyal to the Kuwaiti royal family.  ideas to replace.

    Li Chen is one of the instructors. He doesn¡¯t know much Arabic, but his English is pretty good, so he can make some Kuwaiti soldiers who also understand English understand what he means.  He and the entire advisory group and instructors have been training the Kuwaiti Army for many months. The quality of the Kuwaiti people is obviously not as good as that of the Chinese, and there are also surprises such as language and culture, so the process is more troublesome.

    "Tanks cannot advance too far forward. They must pay attention to the speed and rhythm of maneuvers and stay in areas where one's own artillery fire or air power can take care of them at all times to cover their own safety and form the most effective suppression of the enemy"  Although he is a grassroots officer, he is not vague in theory.  With the development of China's military level, a systematic war theory has gradually evolved. The art of war that the current PLAf emphasizes is a collection of factors such as logistics capabilities, command level, equipment level, and soldier morale.

    The great improvement of equipment has not produced too many "Wang Shifan children" in PLA. Although PLA is very particular about the suppression of firepower, it is also more particular about the accuracy of firepower delivery.  In addition, in real battlefield battles, a big difference between the PLA and the US military is that the PLA likes mobile warfare and pays attention to the mobility of each unit's organization, interweaving large and small, disturbing the front and rear flanks, attacking from the east to the west, and attacking the enemy within seven inches.  The students in Kuwait were dazzled and even more intoxicated.

    A colonel in Kuwait couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, this is the country where "The Art of War" was born. Thousands of years of accumulation of war art have created the most intelligent military in the world." The so-called "Art of War" is actually Sun Tzu's Art of War, even if it is  In U.S. military academies, it ranks second as required reading, second only to the U.S. Constitution.

    When giving lessons to Kuwaitis, it is naturally impossible to break them down and explain them in detail. Some things are just given as examples. As for how much they can learn, it is up to them.  However, within a few months, the Kuwaiti Army was conducting training exercises and it had become more or less similar.  At least Li Chen judged that although the Kuwaiti Army was inferior to any ground force in China, in the Middle East, such a force could be considered well-trained and elite.

    The King of Kuwait was also very pleased. Not only did he award honors and other awards to these Kuwaiti troops, but he also warmly invited the Chinese advisory group and instructors group to award medals and use cash as rewards.

    The progress of the Kuwaiti Army made Saudi Arabia a little jealous. Later, Saudi Arabia also requested an advisory group and instructor group from China in the name of military cooperation. However, the equipment in the Saudi Army is relatively complex, unlike the Kuwaiti ship that can easily turn around and replace all of them.  Equipment made in China.  The Saudi army has both American-made NU0 tanks and Chinese-made NIP multifunctional infantry vehicles, but it is not easy to coordinate these things.

    King Fahd of Saudi Arabia spent a lot of money to ask China to use the data link system developed by China for Saudi Arabia to reintegrate the Saudi Army so as to improve the combat effectiveness of the Saudi Army.
