In fact, for Li Cong’s enemies, the energy group’s stopping of their own footsteps this time gave them a chance to rebirth. In fact, it is also an opportunity for Li Cong. Without this suspension, it is estimated that the entire group will have to Being played by Li Congzi, Emperor Wu of Han was not unbelievably powerful, but what was left to his son when Emperor Wu of Han was old? It was not a joke. What was left was almost The dynasty is broken to a rotten state. Although there are all kinds of false names, the people's life is really not very good. This is recorded in any history book.
"Son, there is no large-scale warfare in the group now. The number of the army has reached millions. What do you think about this?" Li Cong's seemingly inadvertent question actually stumped his son. Li Er looked at his father with some confusion. I have been thinking about this question for a long time. I really don’t know how to answer his father. If I talk about disarmament, I will be in a hurry if there is a war in the future, but what? If you don't move, you may have various burdens, so this problem is very difficult to solve.
"Father, I don't think I understand this question. You can just give me a pointer." But Li Er soon knew how to answer, and he would just play a rogue on his own laozi. No matter how much he was still a child, even if If there is something wrong, no one will care about it. It's like now, if you are like yourself, even if you say something wrong, will your father say anything about yourself? Besides, this matter is really uncertain.
"Haha, you little scammer, remember, this may be the last time I have asked the group's military issues. In the future, even if you pay millions of troops in, I won't bother. Now our group's various military personnel It has reached more than 8 million, and there are nearly 4 million paramilitary personnel. This is a huge burden for any block or the country. Even with the high income of our group, we still have some support. They can’t go down, but if they cut the army because of the money, it’s going to drive oneself to death. Therefore, we must reduce the army in a modest way and let them enter the paramilitary unit from the regular army. The Self-Defense Forces of Japan in those days It’s a good form. It just retains some low-level officers to form a force of hundreds of thousands. In the event of a war, these hundreds of thousands of troops can quickly become a force of millions, because their lower-level officers and high-level officers The non-commissioned officer can drive the entire army." Li Cong gently patted his son on the shoulder and went out. The rest of the matter was not handled by himself. The son should have his own opinion on the rest. I don't give my son any advice, but I still can't bear to see his thin shoulders. Anyway, this guy is still a child.
After the dinner, Li Er did not give people in the military department a holiday. Instead, he immediately held a military meeting at the headquarters of the group. At the same time, several senior leaders of the Chinese military attended the meeting. They were all about the energy group as an ally. A move is also very concerned. In fact, there are more than half a million troops in China’s territory. At the beginning of the war, they hoped that they would have strong troops to help them guard, but now the war is over. It seems that these people don't need to stay here anymore. They should be stationed at the energy group's overseas bases. It's just that they are doing something bad about doing things like this. Is the world really calm? There is definitely no such thing. In case the energy group provokes such a thing, they will be very difficult to do next.
"President, I have counted our army. There are now a regular army of 8.41 million people. The air force and the navy are still expanding their army. Therefore, this streamlining is mainly aimed at the army of 7 million people. Please show me the president." Because Li Er was the head of the military at the beginning of the war, so he took over the group for everyone in the military to be happy and nothing else, so at this time everyone is really cooperating with this new President's.
"What is our military distribution in the occupied area?" Li Er's eyes fell on the newly occupied southern and Southeast Asian regions.
"President, in the southern region of Asia, our largest military base is the air force base in Sri Lanka. There are nearly 500,000 troops there. After more than ten years of renovation, it can be said to be the most important one of our group in Asia. There is a base, followed by India’s 300,000 troops, and our 200,000 troops in Myanmar. The rest of the regions are the various bases marked on the map. The total number is about 1 million. We have done an analysis, Sri Lanka The army on the island cannot be reduced, and several large military bases also need to be used to deter the dishonest people around, so???
This guy looked at Li Er a little ugly after he finished speaking. A disarmament conference, but people like myself are unwilling to give up anything until now.
"Hehe, it's nothing, just say what you want. I know what you think. It is definitely not a simple thing for us to have these troops in front of us. I also know that every soldier joins has various stories. Although you are only turning these military personnel into paramilitary personnel, your heart is also very uncomfortable. I know all these things, but you should also understand the current situation of our group. The only country with so many troops in history Americans, they had more than 10 million troops at the end of the Second World War, but how long did they last? It took less than two years, because they couldn’t hold on. Now for us It’s the same. No matter what the difficulty of this meeting, the army will lay off 1.2 million people. This is the lowest bottom line. I have been the Minister of the Army for some time. If I did not take over as the group president, I might be on the board of directors. I withstood this at the meeting, but now that I am the president, I have to be responsible to the entire group. There is no room for negotiation on this matter." Li Er looked at his favorite generals. There was no reason for disarmament. The simple-minded guys are calculating when the arsenal can be full. At that time, it may be time for them to sharpen their swords again, but Li Er told them that there would be no war in two years, which made them really distressed. Isn't this a waste of time? The soldiers are so fast.
1.2 million army? Several senior army generals looked at each other, and each of them had pain in their eyes. Your old man said that it was 1.2 million troops. You must know how difficult it was for us to pull these troops up. Now that the group has a variety of new weapons, they may really be a bit unnecessary, but they have also shed blood and sweat for the group, how can they not be like this? Although these can be converted into paramilitary personnel, although there is one more word, everyone in this room is very clear that for paramilitary personnel, one month’s time may reduce their fighting by six 5%. , With the increase of time, this decline will definitely be faster, until the end they may not be able to take a gun, even if they can, but their murderous aura will definitely be wasted by a comfortable life. , What good is it to organize such a batch of Mianyang? Can they still fight for the group?
"President, I know that this number must be said by the investigative department, you said just now, we are not dissatisfied with your decision, but as senior generals in the military, it should be necessary to do something I’m telling you that although there are Japanese examples in the front, we should also understand that the Japanese’s actions are not necessarily correct. The Japanese Self-Defense Force’s practice of keeping the elite has allowed them to maintain combat effectiveness, but it is only to maintain it. Basically, based on the combat data between us and the Japanese troops, we faced huge casualties when facing their two main divisions, but how did we look when facing their temporary divisions? Fighting like a broken bamboo, the enemy often loses more than a dozen soldiers before we lose one, but the main division, in individual battles, the battle damage ratio is as high as one to one. This is the difference between the permanent division and the temporary division. The quality of this is very important. (Full text e-book download for free A senior general is a little unhappy with the people in the investigation department. Those people just call for disarmament every day. The investigation department and the military department do not deal with this matter. It has been around for a long time, but both sides are powerful departments, so no one can hold them down. After this disarmament incident, the investigative department really stretched out their hands.
"Yes, President, our large military bases have the function of deterring neighboring countries, and the small military bases also have their functions, such as this Sergeant Ruby base. I feel that not only can this place be disarmed, but on the contrary, it should increase the army. You I have also seen that none of the ordinary people around here want to cooperate with us. From time to time, they will be a little bit upset. Our troops are also worried every day. Almost half of the 7000 people are at night. We can’t rest. If we can add 3,000 people to this base, I think our local control force will definitely be strengthened.
Yes, this guy is even more powerful. Not only does he have no awareness of disarmament, he will increase it now. Regarding the army, this was something Li Er had never thought of before, and the big men of the army would really find reasons for themselves.
In a short while, the people of the military department changed the nature of the meeting with just one word and a word. If Li Er didn’t shoot the table immediately, the meeting might end up being that the troops would not be abolished at all. They have to increase their army by one hundred thousand. They absolutely can do such a thing.
Seeing Li Er pat the table one by one, he naturally calmed down. It seems that these people also know what is afraid of, and they think very well, just thinking that the matter was fooled and decimated. Tens of thousands of old, weak, sick and handicapped passed away. Anyway, those people are also people who are dragging their feet in the army. It would be better to keep them. They don’t feel distressed if they leave. Originally this idea was very good, but look at Li The eyes of the ears know that this kind of fooling is definitely impossible.
"Every one of you knows with me. This is the result of the high-level meeting of the group. It is definitely not something that you and I can change. The purpose of this meeting is to tell you that this disarmament is a trend. It must be done. The purpose of our meeting is not to discuss this issue. I want you all to know that the purpose of our meeting and discussion is to abolish which part and what should be done in the gap after the abolition." Li Er said categorically. Soldiers are not comparable to those clerks. Those clerks may act honestly because of the president's word. These soldiers are rebellious. If you want them to be so honest, let's forget.
"Sorry President, each of these people is my child. I don't know how to abolish them. I can only say that I unconditionally obey this matter. As for how to abolish, I will not care." An officer who has not spoken Standing up, this person is Li Xian, the deputy military minister. He has always been Li Er's right-hand man. The ancients said that the brother of the tiger is not like that. At least these two people are on the battlefield. The cooperation is still very good, but Li Er never thought that the first cousin to attack him was his cousin. He has always been very supportive of him. If the meeting is held to this level, even the deputy minister is against it. It won’t be interesting to keep driving. In fact, Li Xian’s attitude is very clear. Even Li Cong would say that when he was here. Li Cong told him about this at the banquet last time, but This kid didn’t say anything at all. In his opinion, the employees of the group administration and finance department didn’t understand what is called comradeship. Those people didn’t know the dangers of these people when they charged the group on the battlefield. When the war is over, they will have to abandon them so mercilessly. Although the group has arranged for them such and other things, can they really adapt? This is absolutely impossible. They are fighters. They can't do anything except for fighting. Even if they barely touch those things, what about the end? I still have nothing. I think that my entire life may be over. Too many veterans in the United States have finally turned against the country for various reasons. They either become community members or are directly some. As the moth of society, Li Xian would never allow this to happen to his soldiers, but he could do nothing about the absoluteness of the group.
According to the current disarmament plan, Li Xian’s former regiment will also have one-third of the people leaving. The goal of the group has basically been established. The news he received is 1.5 million. , It should be Li Er who took down the amount of 300,000 under the pressure, otherwise more people will leave, but that’s it, they still can’t choose, more than one million comrades in arms fighting alongside him, Their most glorious age as a soldier actually asked them to be workers. Is it possible for them? They will certainly cause all kinds of things. They have adapted to the living environment of the army. How could it be possible for them to become ordinary people now? Is it that people change so easily? This is absolutely impossible.
"The meeting is adjourned and everyone is not allowed to leave the headquarters building. I have something to discuss with Vice Minister Li. Everyone should go out first." If the meeting can't go on, a small-scale communication is necessary, just like now. If Li Er and If neither of Li Xian has an appropriate opinion, don’t expect the people below to want to have this revulsion. Li Er thought that this plan would be blocked before, but he would never think that it would be so. It’s great. I really tried my best on the board of directors, but my father gave myself a death order at the last time. If we had to maintain such a large army, the group would definitely not stick to it. Now it is worth trillions of yuan each year. The military burden of China is already terrible. You must know that the renminbi at this time is worth more than the U.S. dollar, which is different from before.
"Want to talk to me alone? My attitude just now has shown that I unconditionally accept the board's opinion, and how you want to abolish is your business, I have no problem, it is no problem even to demobilize me, and I do not want to As a soldier, no one can accept the things that the servants are facing forward without the need for others to face backwards." Seeing Li Er offered himself a drink, Li Xian didn’t pick it up. From Li Xian’s point of view on disarmament Li Er is not a member of the military department at all. This kid thinks about things differently since he became president. All this kid is thinking about is how to help the group do things. As for the military department, it may be Should have been sacrificed.
"Haha, cousin, I see your grievance is not small, I haven't offended you recently, I have given you all the jet weapons from the headquarters, and my own guards are not equipped yet. It’s.
Li Er said with a smile, everything has to go through a process. For any senior military general, it’s unbelievable for an energy group like the sky to abolish millions of troops, but it’s a fact now, so Li Ears should explain clearly to them one by one.
"Come here less. If you go back, you can tell the headquarters that if we can reduce disarmament, I will just vomit all the things that I took advantage of you before. I said, brother, now our situation is not you? Do you understand? On the surface, we are very stable now, but others don’t know, don’t you know? Our current situation can be said to be very dangerous, as long as there is a problem in any of our jurisdictions, So what will happen to us? Although we have a rapid reaction force, that thing is only emergency, can they let us guard there forever? This is impossible." Li Xian said irritably, he originally wanted Let’s go on, but looking at Li Er’s appearance, you can see that he was playing the piano with the opposite cow just now. This kid didn’t even listen. It seems that he is really the president, and he needs to come from the entire group for everything. Considered.
The high-ranking generals outside at this time also wanted to go in and hear what was going on. They all knew that Li Xian was their last hope now, although it seemed to ordinary soldiers that they all belonged to the lieutenant general. , But they all know very well that they are still a little too small in front of the ministers at the headquarters. They are at the same level as their ministers. How could they listen to the words of these people, that is, Vice Minister Li If it were not for the reason of Li Xian’s family, no one would listen. The two inside were persuading each other, but both were very stubborn. Of course the generals outside wanted Li Er to be persuaded by Li Xian, but they Knowing that the chances are very small, even if Li is thinking of them in his heart, but the group board above does not do things emotionally.
"I know all the difficulties you mentioned, but you have also seen it. The mainstream of the world now is peace. The whole world will not need war in the past few years. If we continue to maintain such a huge military force, we will eventually The rest of Europe and Russia are all rushed to the American side. Although we are not afraid of them, do you know that if the three of them are united, we have to invest all of us in this way. Only 50%. We have a lot of advanced weapons, but the scientific research capabilities of the Americans are not for nothing. According to the latest news from the Investigation Department, the Americans are now able to produce high-power laser weapons. The power is amazing. , Let me tell you this, if it is a head-on confrontation, a laser device can shoot down more than a dozen planes without injury. Although the defense is weaker, the Americans should not be stupid enough to let the laser device act alone. "Li Er took a sip of the whiskey in the glass. The spicy alcohol stimulated his throat. Saying these words at this time is also the top secret of the group. If he is not familiar with Li Xian, he would not say it. from.
"Look, you also said that Americans have reached the level of laser weapons. Although our laser weapons have been researched a long time ago, this also illustrates a problem. The problem is that American weapons will soon be available. We have caught up with us, although we still have a big gap with them, but with time, I think this will catch up sooner or later. At this time, we are still disarming. Isn't this suicide?" Li Xianyi heard This news is terrific. It’s no wonder that the senior general’s mind is still thinking about how to torture those enemies, but suddenly someone has the same weapon as you. It seems that it’s not you who abuses those. It's up to people to decide, and maybe if your command fails, you have to let the other party kill it.
"Don't be so excited. We also have our cards. In terms of scientific research capabilities, we can only win but not lose compared with them. You have to have confidence in our scientific research department. In fact, there is news that I have never dared Speaking out, because it has not been determined yet, I will reveal to you in advance that the group is currently studying an anti-matter ammunition." Li Er said in a low voice, such top secrets cannot be said casually, but in order to persuade Li Xian, this It is also necessary.
It is not the first time that Li Xian has heard of an anti-matter bomb, which is even more atomic than an atomic bomb. It is said that just a few grams of anti-matter can destroy the earth.
Inspired by the three "Mysteries of the Century" such as the Tunguska Big Bang, the scientific community began to conclude in 1986 that the three Big Bangs might be antimatter. In 1997, scientists announced the discovery of the "Gyrocentric Antimatter Fountain", which once again boosted scientists' enthusiasm for searching for antimatter. In fact, antimatter is no different from ordinary matter. The difference is that the particles that make up antimatter have the opposite charge to those that make up ordinary matter. As early as 1928, the famous physicist Dirac put forward a bold prediction through mathematical calculations: In the universe, there is a new kind of particle, except for the positive charge, all the properties of this particle are the same as electrons. Same, that is, particles with positive charge and the same mass and life as electrons. In 1932, scientist Anderson verified Dirac's prediction. He discovered this kind of particle in the analysis and research of cosmic rays. Its mass and charge are the same as electrons, except that it carries a positive charge and is the antiparticle of an electron. It is called a positron, and the electron has a negative charge. In 1955, antiprotons and antineutrons were found one after another in the American Proton Accelerator in Beckley. In the 1960s, almost all antiparticles in elementary particles were found by physicists. An antimatter world is gradually being ‘excavated’ by scientists archeologically. In January 1996, scientists at the European Particle Center used a particle collider to collide high-speed xenon atoms with antiprotons, obtaining 9 antihydrogen atoms, although these antihydrogen atoms dispersed into three hundred millionths of a second. Anti-protons and anti-electrons, but it signifies that humans have been able to produce anti-matter. The nucleus of antimatter is a "negative nucleus" composed of antiprotons and antineutrons, surrounded by positrons. Matter composed of antiparticles is called antimatter. Many physicists believe that antiparticles are obtained after the internal structure of the original particle is "mirror inverted". Just like, when you look in the mirror, if the you in the mirror really exists and appear in front of you, then the you in the mirror is called "anti-you". Many antimatter researchers also speculate that matter and antimatter separated at the moment when the world opened up, forming two universes. One is called "universe" and the other is "anti-universe." Great speeds move away from each other. Antimatter is the opposite of general matter, and general matter is the main part of the universe. Once the antimatter comes into contact with the'positive matter' in our world, it will explode in an instant, and the matter and antimatter will become photons or mesons, releasing huge energy, resulting in an'annihilation' phenomenon. As far as humans know, antimatter may be the most powerful energy source and explosive material in the world. According to the famous mass-energy conversion formula e=2 in Einstein's theory of relativity, a tiny amount of antimatter can produce amazingly huge energy. It can release energy with 100% efficiency in the form of radiation, while the efficiency of di-nuclear fission is 1.5%. The American RAND Corporation pointed out in an antimatter experiment report that when 1 gram of antimatter and 1 gram of matter collide and annihilate each other, the energy released is 5x107 kilowatts/hour, which is about 6 megawatt-years. However, antimatter is extremely unstable. It can turn everything it touches into ashes, even air.
At present, any large-scale particle accelerator in the world can produce a small amount of antimatter, but it is impossible to produce enough antimatter on a large scale and cheaply. On March 24, 2004, at the "Advanced Concepts Symposium" held by NASA, Americans published data showing that it would cost nearly US$6 billion to produce one-hundred billionth of a gram of antimatter. However, according to a report in Nature on October 18, 2018, military scientists of the energy group invented a new method of generating antimatter, which reduced the cost of producing one millionth of a gram of antimatter from US$1 billion to US$100 million. But this news has not been confirmed. In addition, relevant European research centers have been developing a new type of antimatter reducer, which is an advanced antimatter production equipment, which is expected to greatly increase the production capacity of antimatter. .
Scientists believe that antimatter has great military applications. At present, antimatter is considered by experts in various matters to have the following four military uses: one is to be used as propulsion fuel for super-high-speed rockets, such as the fuel for light-speed rockets; Energy generator; the third is used as a "nuclear trigger" to start the fusion bomb; the fourth is used as an energy beam weapon, such as an anti-matter bomb that can be adjusted at will. It can be said that the Western nuclear powers led by the United States are more interested in anti-matter weapons that use anti-matter as ammunition. But the speed of their research has long been surpassed by the people of the energy group. As early as 1983, the RAND Corporation of the United States spent 2 million US dollars on the feasibility of producing and using 10 trillion antiprotons per second for the US Air Force. Study and use this technology to make a feasibility study of "proton bomb".
In 2000, the US Air Force set up a "revolutionary ammunition" research and development team headed by Edwards, known as the "father of American anti-matter weapons," and began to specialize in anti-matter weapons research. According to Western nuclear weapons classification standards, anti-matter weapons belong to the fourth generation of nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons regarded as "conventional weapons" can be used in conventional or local wars. The biggest feature of anti-matter weapons is that they have extremely high energy density and are easy to ignite. They do not require critical mass like atomic bomb fission reactions and cannot reduce their volume, nor do they require extremely high ignition temperatures like hydrogen bomb fusion reactions that must be detonated by atomic bombs.
Secondly, unlike nuclear bombs, anti-matter bombs have the power of hydrogen bomb explosions, but they only produce electromagnetic waves when they explode. They will not produce nuclear radiation, and will not cause huge radiation damage to organisms and plants, causing humanitarian disasters. They are a kind of "clean" hydrogen bomb". Scientists estimate that the energy released after the annihilation (explosion) of antiprotons and protons per millionth of a gram is equivalent to 37.8 kg of tnt explosives. One gram of antimatter is equivalent to the equivalent of twenty thousand tons of nuclear bomb-equivalent to the energy of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima that year. The energy released by a few micrograms of antimatter can be used as a trigger for a thermonuclear reaction, or it can excite a strong X-ray burst or a γ-ray laser. If an antiproton and a proton undergo an annihilation reaction with each other, the energy released is about 10 times the energy released during the fission of a uranium nucleus; if the secondary effects caused by the annihilation reaction in the substance are considered, then this reaction will be Release more energy.
It is reported that the United States Pentagon held a computer simulation exercise code-named "Antimatter Special Attack-2008" in September 2008. The actual situation of the exercise is as follows: In 201x, a US soldier sneaked into the capital of country c with an antimatter time bomb in the city center. The public toilets near the General Staff Building of Country C were installed and evacuated calmly. After the start of the military operation, the anti-matter time bomb exploded, and the General Staff Building and ancillary facilities of State C were turned to ashes. The anti-matter bomb carried by this soldier was only 1/50 millionth of a gram! Subsequently, an anti-matter pulse bomb was detonated over the power and communication network of country c. In an instant, the country’s military and social activities were completely paralyzed... After the exercise, the Pentagon generals exclaimed: "A few grams of anti-matter bomb can Destroy the earth!" However, George, a historian and scientist at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton University? Dyson pointed out that "clean" anti-matter weapons are far more terrible than "dirty" nuclear weapons, because they are more likely to be put into actual combat. If the United States develops anti-matter weapons, the U.S. military will be more reckless on the battlefield-because it has no nuclear residues, the U.S. military may classify it as a conventional weapon. "
It's just that if there is no Li Cong, the anti-matter bomb may have been the first to be researched by the Americans, but now this result has changed. The energy group has refined it, but there are still many dissatisfactions, so this thing has not been announced yet. , Has been testing. Although the anti-matter bomb has a huge annihilation ability in theory, there are still some insurmountable challenges in technology. First, how to produce enough antimatter cheaply is still a big challenge. Second, there are technical difficulties in storing antimatter. How to store enough antimatter in a small space, such as putting them in a bottle instead of storing them in a strong electromagnetic field. In fact, antimatter is not as infinite as described by some scientists, because in the academic research on antimatter, there are still six main issues that need to be further studied and substantive breakthroughs have been obtained. The six questions are as follows: First, the nature of the energy exchange between electricity and magnetism is still unknown. This view believes that the artificial acquisition of antimatter and its application is untenable. Second, positive matter cannot restrain antimatter. This view holds that the antimatter currently acquired is not antimatter in the true sense. Third, it is difficult for artificial magnetic fields to restrain antimatter. This view believes that antimatter is bound to a strong artificial electromagnetic field, which is prone to risks. Fourth, antimatter is single irreversible. This view believes that when the life of the storage equipment expires and there is no opportunity to use the anti-matter bomb, it will eventually destroy the reserve. Fifth, antimatter cannot be made with positive matter. This view believes that it is impossible to find antimatter in a positive material environment. Sixth, the annihilation mechanism is unknown. This view holds that there is no essential understanding of the annihilation mechanism of positive and anti-matter in the annihilation process of positive and anti-matter.
"You said that we have been studying this thing, but why haven't I seen any explosions in the world? This thing is different from ordinary bombs, right?" Li Xian is not a fool. Suddenly this question came to mind. It is estimated that this kid Li Er was trying to convince himself nonsense.
"Haha, cousin, if this thing is tested on the earth, do you think the whole world will panic right away~EbookFREE.me~ The situation of nuclear weapons came out in the past is very powerful, and it is the same now, don’t Forget that the group spent hundreds of billions of dollars to establish a base on Mars. What is there? There is no need to emigrate there. It happens to be used as a test site for this thing. I believe we will use this in the near future. After researching things out, we will be able to station a small number of troops at that time, so some defensive troops should be abolished honestly, but the group did not treat us badly. I will abolish more than 100 troops here. The most elite 100,000 people are selected to form the largest special forces in history, and the investment in each person will be the largest in history.
Li Er threw the bait out in a timely manner. He knew that although Li Xian was The deputy minister of the military, but often this guy believes in special operations.
A hundred thousand special forces? It’s painful to stand up. It’s just that Li Xian is not that easy to dismiss. It’s not so easy to relocate the hundreds of thousands of troops who have been abolished. Suddenly this guy thought of a good idea to get them Going to be a policeman is just like the National Guard of Uncle Sam. Don’t you just change the name? This kind of thing should be fine. Looking at Li Xian like that, Li Er certainly knows that this guy must have other ideas. It must be an idea that embarrassed oneself, otherwise the smile on this guy's face would not be so strange.
