Chapter 1617 Planning for the Future
".Thank you for your hard work. Everyone, take a good rest. We will return home within a week."
The battle came to an end, and the Third Fleet began to evacuate the war zone. Lu Ping'an, who had been on high alert, also breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, as a manager, at least he brought back the fleet entrusted to him. Lu Ping'an was most worried that the Third Fleet would be defeated here.
Once the worst happened, it meant that there would be a gap in the defense line of the Third Military Region.
The flood did not need to break the entire dam. A hole was enough to destroy everything. The coastal cities and even the areas further back might be invaded by foreign invaders.
The East Country sent several newly built fleets, which showed its sincerity in saving Sakurajima. However, when things were impossible, they could not throw their precious fleets into the bottomless pit of attrition war in this sea area.
This is also why the fleets have always been mainly engaged in search and rescue and searching, and their behavior has been relatively conservative.
After all, the fleet itself has its own responsibilities.
"After returning, the fleet will be reorganized. This ragtag army is too uncomfortable."
In the days of returning, Lu Ping'an did not have time to rest. There were too many things to deal with and too many reports to be written in person.
Some involved rescue, some involved the evaluation of the enemy's high-level, and some even involved some content that was not convenient to be made public. Lu Ping'an wrote a lot of reports on awakening diseases. At the same time, his superiors also asked Lu Ping'an about marine diseases.
This war has just ended, but the planners must consider the next one, or even the war that may happen in the next few years.
"After returning, the fleet should be disbanded."
Lu Ping'an has vaguely realized that the current Third Military Region is too "temporary" and is actually no longer in line with the needs of the times.
Those warships are composed of more than 20 ships and at least a dozen technologies. Their tactics are too "free". It is good enough that their joint operations do not interfere with each other. They can only be regarded as a collection of floating decks.
The aircraft carrier fleet, deep-diving wolf pack, battleships and frigates in another world line all have their own strategic designs and strategic needs. Each fleet has its own strategic goals and patrol areas, rather than a bunch of ships that are forcibly pieced together like now, and their main purpose is to carry people and goods.
Such a navy is actually not fundamentally different from the maritime transport fleet. The East Country needs time and resources to develop a new era navy to adapt to the needs of the times.
". Please be sure to mass-produce underwater ships and drones. The war in the new era requires more automatic machinery, especially automatic cruise weapons that can detect and strike in one."
Lu Ping'an thought about it and wrote some reports on future weapons.
He didn't know whether it was useful or not, but considering the development of the two world lines, it should be on the right path.
In his opinion, the biggest advantage of the war between Earth and foreign countries has always been the existence of Earth's technology. The civilization of this world has actually developed to a very high level, and various war machines can actually pose a serious threat to foreign creatures, especially when they are not acclimatized.
Strategic adventures are valuable, and there are always gains if you try your best, but in Lu Ping'an's opinion, truly exerting the advantages of war at the technological level is the current priority.
In the letter, he fully supported the practice of some bigwigs to liberate AI, electronic viruses, and mechanical awakeners.
". In the current situation where the ocean is polluted, organisms will suffer serious damage underwater, but metal organisms will not. Most parasites and viruses will not harm drones, small submarines and war machines. As long as there are sufficient underwater machinery, we can become the home court holders in the sea."
"This advantage will disappear with the passage of time, and even the harshest environment will be overcome. It is estimated that at most three years, this ocean defense line will be cracked, and then it will still be a tit-for-tat battle."
"I personally estimate that within half a year, if there is no major change, the foreign visitors from Sakurajima and even Australia will not start attacking our mainland. They need time to adapt Environment I personally suspect that they will focus on trying to change the structure of the ocean, and we can weaken this transformation, but I am afraid we cannot crack it. In the end, the ocean will still become the advantageous environment for these sea tribes."
"For long-term strategic advantages, I personally suggest that the problem be completely solved within ten years, at least forcing the other side back to the Australian mainland. This is achievable, but in the first three or even five years, we should be in a strategic defensive period."
"Our biggest advantage is the speed of technological renewal. Invaders such as the Octopus are mature offensive tribes, which also means that they have not changed for hundreds or even thousands of years. They cannot understand the innovations that can burst out when our short-lived species are threatened."
Lu Pingan patiently wrote the report, focusing more on the strategic predictions for the next few years.
He actually felt that he should not be in this military district commander for long. When short-term wars are transformed into long-term operations, his coordination ability will not be very important. In the end, professionals should be allowed to do professional things.
Lu Pingan himself also has his own career and organization. It is impossible for him to spend so much time in the military district doing organizational and signboard work.
"The next two to three years will be very difficult."
Having witnessed the explosion of future technology, Lu Ping'an is quite confident in the technology on Earth, especially the use of drones and AI in warfare.
But it takes a lot of time and actual combat to transform technology into finished products. The experimental products taken out in the early stage will definitely break at the touch of a button and will also attract a lot of criticism.
Lu Pingan not only plans to write a letter to support, but will also fully support the research and development and production of war machines in the coming days. Perhaps he and his home can try to adapt to the times?
". Otherwise, I will also invest a little in this area. Fang Wen is a rule-level after all. The rule-level of mechanical awakening masters is very precious."
As a businessman, Lu Pingan smelled a business opportunity again.
In fact, it is okay for Lu Pingan to temporarily make do with the military position. If he holds it for a long time, it will not be a good thing for both parties. He is unlikely to really sit in that position for a long time to dispatch military affairs.
And for him, he really thinks that the degree of technological advancement and the progress of armed reform in the strategic defense period are the absolute foundation of this battle.
Once it is delayed for ten years, it may be difficult again. On the one hand, there are more and more plane invaders. The local fish people have probably bred for several generations to adapt to the environment. More foreignization will bring more troublesome battlefields. Falling completely into the Pacific Ocean of the alien world will become a long-term nightmare for the whole world.
"Defense for three or four years, stalemate for one or two years, and the general attack can be considered fast in five or six years."
Lu Ping'an has a long-term vision, but he is also the one who has the most confidence in the East Country.
Since he has seen through the future, he naturally has to plan and prepare for the future of himself and his companions.
