Chapter 10 postscript

The motivation for writing this book originated from a military exercise that attracted worldwide attention.Three years ago, Xiangsui and I met in a small town called Zhao'an in Fujian because of participating in an exercise.At that time, the wind in the southeast coast was getting tighter, and the two sides of the strait were at war. Even the two American aircraft carrier task forces came all the way to join in the fun. We are generous, so we decided to write a book, a book that can condense our respective concerns and thinking on military issues in decades, especially in the past ten years.

In the following three years, we can no longer count the number of phone calls, emails, and overnight stays. The only thing that can testify to all these is this thin book. What needs to be apologized to the readers in advance is that although we write very seriously and very hard, when the meteorite-like thought becomes the meteorite-like cold and hard text, you (including us) will still find errors and inappropriateness. There are many places.And this cannot be forgiven with an apology such as "please take care of me", it will only be corrected in the next (if there is a next) reprint.

As the book is about to be published, I would like to thank Cheng Butao, the president of PLA Literature and Art Publishing House, and Huang Guorong, the vice president, for their unhesitating support and the rapid publication of this book in such a short period of time; Xiang Xiaomi, director of the editorial department of the First Book, as always, reviewed the entire book and put forward many valuable suggestions with the same prudence and even strictness when she edited the other four books for us.In this regard, we are deeply grateful, and I don't know what better way to express our gratitude.

Finally, we would also like to thank our respective families for their sacrifices in making this book possible, again not words words can express. From March 2nd to December 8th, 1998, the whole book was drafted In Gongzhufen, Beijing - White Paper Square February 1, 1999 diary
