Being looked down on by 95% of people

  Some people who have bad feelings or malicious intentions towards China, or those who are naturally hostile to the red spirit, often use derogatory terms such as "good fight" and "exhausting the army" to describe this great republic under the five-star red flag. Especially the Formosans under the rule of a pseudo-regime with colored glasses, they often say that MAO is a big dictator, 426 is a warlord and so on.

  The main argument is that until the eve of the 50th anniversary of the founding of the country, China has been constantly at odds with its neighbors and major world powers, with border wars breaking out one after another, from land battles to sea battles, without any respite. From the anti-US aid Korea war in the 1950s, to the Sino-Soviet conflict on Zhenbao Island in the 1960s, to the invasion of India from the Himalayas in 1962, to the all-out confrontation with the Soviet Union in the 1970s, when the whole country was building air-raid shelters, to teaching Vietnam a lesson in the late 1970s, to the two mountain wheel wars in the 1980s, and finally to the last battle at Johnson South Reef in 1988. The scale is not large, compared to the United States and the Soviet Union, which have external warfare as their main business, but compared to other countries in the world, this war density is indeed not small.

  In all these conflicts, the Sino-Soviet confrontation in the 1970s was arguably the most severe challenge to the Republic. After the Soviet Union and China fell out, the two countries deployed more than two million troops along their borders from the Far East to Xinjiang, because of the lack of depth and weakness of military strength, almost as soon as war broke out, even the capital city might not be safe. Because both sides were nuclear powers, they were each immersed in the fear of being hit by a nuclear strike, especially with the deepest fear being that of China. The dense and massive civil defense systems in major cities later on were the masterpieces of that era.

  The great man also put forward at that time: "Late blows are not as good as early blows, small blows are not as good as big blows. If you want to fight, fight a nuclear war!"

  This perspective has different understandings and evaluations in later generations, which will not be analyzed at this moment. However, it indirectly reflects the intense confrontation between China and the Soviet Union at that time. It was absolutely not as simple as what middle school students learned from their history textbooks - just a withdrawal of experts and mutual scolding. The danger within could only be deeply understood by people who lived through that era. Therefore, when the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, many people were excited to celebrate with firecrackers, even amidst feelings of sadness.

  The Soviet Union was a huge mountain on top of the rabbit's head at first, and it was absolutely not easy to shake!

  However, this unhealthy and dangerous relationship for both sides did not last long. After the 1980s, Sino-Soviet relations eased, and Romanian President Ceau?escu tried to mediate between them. At that time, Soviet leader Brezhnev criticized China in a speech, but then changed his tone and said that Sino-Soviet relations could still be turned around. Later, Ceau?escu became a mouthpiece, and Deng Xiaoping proposed three conditions for the Soviet Union to take concrete actions before China would believe them. The three conditions were: first, the demilitarization of the Sino-Soviet border; second, the Soviet Union's assistance to Vietnam in invading Cambodia; and third, the invasion of Afghanistan. As long as the Soviet Union promised to change one of these, China was willing to sit down at the negotiating table with them.

  Of course, the bear initially avoided the heavy and light, but later on, as both sides continued to probe each other, especially after Brezhnev took office, relations between the two sides eased greatly. During this period, the rabbit family conducted a kind of funeral diplomacy, where if a high-ranking official from the bear's house died, the rabbit would send a high-ranking official to offer condolences and at the same time establish emotional connections. As a result, as more and more officials from the bear's house died, relations between the two sides became increasingly relaxed.

  Andropov succeeded as General Secretary of the CPSU and in 1983 issued a statement on normalization with China, the same year Wu Xueqian and Gromyko met in New York to decide to restart border talks between China and the Soviet Union in 1987.

  The continued easing of Sino-Soviet relations is also one of the main reasons why the rabbit family can shout out slogans such as concentrating their efforts on economy.

  Of course, although eased, it is impossible to have no harm at all. Even if it were the case in later generations with Russia wearing a pair of pants, rabbits would not dare to trust completely, and although maintaining a high level of strategic cooperation, there are differences between the two countries on many issues, only that the importance of joining hands is greater than the importance of differences. Later generations of rabbits do not worry too much about the big bear, but also with their own military strength increasing, compared to Russia's not so big gap, and even exist in some areas of advantage, so they can happily talk about friendship.

  Cooperation and friendship between nations are often based on equal footing. When one side is strong and the other weak, cooperation is unlikely to occur. Only when both sides have roughly equal strength can limited cooperation be achieved.

  At the time of Chi's crossing, the rabbits still had not completely eliminated their fear of the Soviet Union, so if certain means could be provided to enhance their strength, the rabbit family was very willing.

  Thus, Qi Yiyuan obtained official permission, developed his own base, and became the main arms supplier, providing free arms to the PLA rabbits.

  At this time, the base level of Zhiyi Ming is only level one. There are some restrictions on producing equipment and building buildings. Firstly, the combat laboratory cannot build buildings or weapons after that, and some obviously unrealistic weapons cannot be used either. However, Zhiyi Ming can still produce a large number of genuine Tianchao-made weapons from later generations, as well as some affordable and beautiful ordinary consumable weapons from Red Alert.

  To maintain the base's operation, a large amount of resources is naturally needed. After building the mining factory, Qi Yiming chose a drilling mining truck. This drilling mining truck can directly drill down to depths of thousands of meters underground to mine minerals, without worrying about being seen by others. At the same time, it is also an excellent tool for digging tunnels. Because the game is realistic, the mining factory must be equipped with multiple mining trucks to supply the base's massive resource consumption.

  Immediately afterwards, Ji Yi Ming established a barracks on the shores of Dali Nor Lake. This is also the first building in the base to send troops out, and in reality, it looks completely different from the game, and still looks like a large exhibition center or something.

  Although it is called a barracks, it is also responsible for producing individual light weapons, and even weapons such as recoilless guns and mortars can be produced. The production capacity here is quite impressive, even when it was a first-class base, with 1000 rifles and the required bullets that can be produced every day, if it's heavy equipment, the output will be reduced. Unlike in the game, this place separates personnel and weapon production, with a daily recruitment limit of 100 people, only responsible for producing army soldiers.

  Because the barracks building is fully sealed, equipment is only pushed out during production, so a group of curious stationed soldiers and researchers are not allowed to enter.

  After the first day of production, Ji Yi Ming brought Liao Huai Ren and several military representatives to a temporary warehouse (not base-made) set up within the base to inspect the weapons produced by the barracks.

  Liao Huairan felt a chill as he gazed at the group of soldiers wearing digital camouflage, their expressions almost identical. He had already been shocked to learn that this base could produce weapons, but now it seemed they could even manufacture humans. His eyes involuntarily darted towards Qi Yiming, who was leisurely fiddling with an assault rifle, marking him as a dangerous individual.

  "If he continues to recruit soldiers at this rate, he will soon be able to organize a fully loyal army, which is absolutely not good for the country. However, his skills are currently in urgent need by the nation, and cannot be overly restricted, it seems that we still have to be open and honest with him and have a good talk." Liao Huairan thought to himself.

  Qiyi Miao called over several military representatives to show them the rifles being produced here, these one thousand rifles were all improved versions of the 95-1 automatic rifle, compared to the first generation 95-style which was criticized for its poor human-machine function, this new 95-1 style had made significant improvements. At that time, the PLA had not yet equipped its own small-caliber rifles, but trials had already been conducted, and Qiyi Miao directly borrowed from the base and took out this automatic rifle.

  To be honest, the 95-style has been facing great devaluation and criticism since its birth. At first, people said that the gun's performance was not good, the 5.8mm caliber bullet had poor hollow-point effect, requiring multiple shots to kill an enemy, and the weirdly high-mounted scope on the carrying handle made it easy for the shooter to be exposed. However, this rifle is still widely equipped by the PLA. In fact, every gun has its pros and cons, and there's no such thing as a perfect gun. The 95-1 can't be considered a great gun, but it has good stability, improved ergonomics after modification, and is cheap and suitable for mass production.

  Of course, China can try to manufacture NATO-standard weapons like the FN2000 and SCAR-H for military use, but after some thought, they still came up with the 95-1, which is a domestically produced and reliable weapon.

  However, Qi Yiyong's kindness was again treated as a donkey liver by the military in this era. Several military representatives were used to the old Type 59, and at most had touched the Type 81 rifle. These types of guns are simple and practical AK series rifles. Suddenly switching to a small-caliber automatic rifle with no recoil structure, they found it quite unfamiliar.

  "Oh my mother, this gun is so hard to hold, can it fight?"

  "It's just that, aiming so high, it feels weird. In the future, we'll actually be using this kind of gun, is it because if you're not fighting, you think it doesn't matter?"

  "It's probably a defective product, Comrade Xiao Qi might not understand and thinks it's fine just because it's equipped."

  "With such a small caliber, can it be lethal?"

  ……

  Several military representatives discussed and debated, causing Qi Yi Ming's face to turn bright red, because although he was a military enthusiast, he didn't understand the particularly technical parts, so he couldn't refute a single sentence.

  Finally, Liao Huairou saw that the several military representatives were making a fuss and had no face to come down, so he said: "This gun is still taken out for professional evaluation, then handed over to the troops for trial, and then decide whether to use it or not."

  Several military representatives nodded in agreement, and finally someone said a good word: "The color of this gun is quite beautiful."

  "That's a chemical compound membrane black phosphorus treatment."

  "Oh, it sounds really profound! Indeed, it's a weapon of the future!"

  Zhiyi Miao completely gave up on making sarcastic remarks.
