Chen Ming frowned. He knew all this because he had heard that many officers in the field were opposed to the transformation.
Army Group Commander Zhou Lijun glanced around the conference hall. Many people were communicating and expressing their opinions.
He smiled with relief when he saw that these officers were so enthusiastic about discussing this matter.
After a moment, he coughed, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Anyone who has ideas can speak out."
Although there was only one person's voice, it completely drowned out the noise in the entire auditorium. It was like thunder in the ears, and even people sitting in the last row could hear every word clearly.
Everyone fell silent and looked at the commander.
Even Chen Ming began to admire him.
As expected of the commander, this roar of a lion is enough for me to learn for a long time...
The commander smiled and said, "Today we are mainly here to get everyone's opinions and then discuss a suitable plan for implementation. I hope everyone will speak up and share their thoughts."
After saying that, he glanced at everyone.
In the silent conference hall, many people looked at each other.
Suddenly, someone shouted, "Report!"
After shouting, he stood up.
Chen Ming looked closely and saw that it was a lieutenant colonel. From the appearance, his skin was much whiter than that of other officers, which formed a sharp contrast with the officers who were exposed to wind and sun for many years.
Chen Ming looked at his straight figure and guessed that he should also be a technical officer.
He spoke slowly, his voice very clear, "Comrade Commander, Chief of Staff, I am Li Wenyuan, Chief of the Information Department of the Sharp Sword Brigade."
The commander nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Li Wenyuan took a deep breath and continued, "Compared with Western countries, our country is still far behind in computers."
After these words were spoken, many people in the audience nodded.
Chen Ming also agreed with him. Longguo developed computers relatively late, and was inferior to the West in terms of top talents and top technology.
Li Wenyuan continued, "It is very risky to start the informationization reform of the army now. Informationization reform is indeed the general direction, but we are carrying out informationization reform when the conditions are not mature and making all aspects of the army informationized. In my opinion, this is a very dangerous behavior!"
When this was said, many people frowned. Some wanted to refute, but they didn't know how to refute.
What Li Wenyuan said was true. Longguo's computer technology is not mature now. A rash reform would not be a good thing for Longguo.
"How dangerous?" someone asked. Chen Ming looked at him. He was a lieutenant colonel who looked very sturdy and had a murderous aura. It must have been the result of often leading troops.
Li Wenyuan glanced at him and responded, "Western countries are much more advanced than us in terms of informatization. If we also carry out informatization transformation, once a war breaks out in the future, Western countries will launch an informatization attack on us. With our current technology and strength, it will be difficult to stop them. The consequences may cause our command post and combat deployment system to be directly paralyzed, and may even expose all our layouts, paying a painful price!"
Many people in the audience frowned, as what Li Wenyuan said really hit the nail on the head.
If Western countries launch an information attack on Dragon Country, many people will find it difficult to stop it, after all, its basic strength has been developed too late.
Someone whispered, "Why bother with reform? We are not afraid of them even if we have mechanization. We might as well keep the original mechanization."
The people around him also nodded, agreeing with what he said.
Although mechanized troops are a bit bulky, they are not afraid of soft attacks such as information warfare, and they are not afraid at all if a fight comes with real guns and live ammunition.
And if all of them are really transformed into informationized forces, Western countries may not even have to spend a single soldier, but just through information warfare and information virus attacks, they can paralyze the command post and command system.
At that time, the armies of the Dragon Kingdom had no commander and were fighting in disorder like flies. It was very dangerous!
Chen Ming also frowned at this time.
In his mind, informationized warfare is at the forefront of the times and is an inevitable trend.
At present, the country's computer strength is still weak, so it should develop rapidly and develop technology rapidly during the transformation.
The earlier the Dragon Country enters informatization, the earlier it can revive and have more say in the international arena.
However, what Chen Ming did not expect was that there were not just a few voices of opposition, and soon someone stood up.
"I agree with Chief Li's point of view." Someone stood up and said.
Chen Ming looked over and saw that he was also a lieutenant colonel, a little thin, and from the looks of it, a technical officer, probably the chief of the information department of a brigade.
Chen Ming looked at him, then glanced at Tang Xinyi with disdain and looked at her epaulettes carefully.
I couldn't help but think, you are all lieutenant colonels, why are you so disappointing? You are still a major, aren't you ashamed!
Tang Xinyi saw Chen Ming's eyes and saw that he was looking at her epaulettes with disdain on his face, and she immediately understood this boy's mentality.
Subconsciously, I wanted to give him a big roasted chestnut, but when I remembered that there was a meeting going on here, I stopped.
But he still quietly reached out his hand and pinched Chen Ming's thigh hard.
Chen Ming, feeling the pain, subconsciously wanted to scream out, but because he was in a meeting, he could only grit his teeth and endure it.
Tang Xinyi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Sister, I came to the military camp after completing my doctorate. I didn't get promoted just because I was in the army for a short time. Don't be ungrateful!"
Chen Ming nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at rice.
The episode here did not affect the lieutenant colonel's speech.
He looked around and said, "I wonder if you have heard of the virus called 'Panda Burning Incense' that was circulated on the Internet last year?"
Those who understood nodded, while those who didn't understand looked confused.
Pandas burning incense? Praying for blessings or visiting graves
Some people present who were not very familiar with information technology asked in confusion.
The lieutenant colonel explained: "Last year, a hacker developed a virus called "Panda Burning Incense", which infected millions of computers, including some corporate and public institutions. Some networks were even paralyzed, which had a huge impact on the public and caused a lot of economic losses."
People who didn't know about information technology, let alone Panda Burning Incense, were all surprised.
They didn't expect that a network virus could cause such a big thing.
The lieutenant colonel continued, "Our country's computer technology is indeed not mature enough. If we implement informatization now, what should we do if viruses such as "Panda Burning Incense" invade our command system? Therefore, I think that the informatization transformation cannot be implemented so hastily."
When this was said, many people nodded their heads, and some conservatives who originally did not support the transformation and believed that the disadvantages outweighed the advantages, smiled.
There were also some hesitant people who leaned towards the conservative side.
Commander Zhou Lijun looked at this scene with his brows deeply furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川".
Although what they said makes sense, "informationization reform" is a military reform call issued by the higher authorities and it still needs to be implemented.
He had a headache at this time.
The original purpose of the meeting was to discuss a transformation plan for easy implementation.
Now, the discussion has turned directly into whether to transform.
If this thing is not implemented, how can we explain this to the higher-ups
They are eager to see the results of the transformation.
Zhou Lijun glanced at the crowd, hoping someone would stand up and give a different opinion.
Tang Xinyi frowned at this time. She herself supported the transformation. Now seeing the commander's expression, she felt that he also supported the transformation. But now a series of objections made him a little embarrassed.
Thinking about it, Tang Xinyi raised her hand and stood up, "I have a different opinion."
Everyone looked at Tang Xinyi, some of them frowned.
Commander Zhou Lijun quickly said, "Come on, tell me your opinion."
Tang Xinyi nodded and said slowly: "Computer technology is not mature enough. We can recruit more computer talents to improve our computer technology."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Ming and said, "There should be many computer experts among the people nowadays. I think we should recruit computer talents from the public to enhance our strength in information technology."
There are indeed many talented people among the people, and if the army calls, I believe many people are willing to serve the country.
Some people listened to Tang Xinyi's words and nodded.
If there are weaknesses, they should be remedied immediately, rather than avoiding and delaying the development of informatization.
Tang Xinyi continued, "Informatization of the military is the future trend. If we make arrangements one step ahead, we can catch up with other countries one step ahead. I believe everyone here understands the truth that if you fall behind, you will be beaten."
After saying that, Tang Xinyi glanced at everyone and watched their reactions.
…
…
ps: The first day of the release of the 100,000-word explosive update, please vote for me, please reward me! Ding.
Chapter 68 He stood up and challenged the head of the information department of the entire army alone!
After Tang Xinyi finished speaking, many people looked thoughtful.
They have all enjoyed the benefits of information development.
It was unimaginable before that you can learn about what is happening in various places on the Internet without leaving your home.
If information technology can be brought into the army, the command post will be able to see the situation on the front battlefield at a glance.
And any response measures issued can be received immediately by the front line, and the strategy can be changed.
If information technology can be brought into the army, it will indeed be of great convenience in combat.
In a word, it is very information-based and convenient.
After Tang Xinyi finished speaking, Li Wenyuan, who had spoken first, immediately stood up and said with an opposing opinion:
"Everyone understands the general principle, but I want to ask, if your Red Star Brigade implements informatization, can you withstand sophisticated foreign hacker virus attacks?"
