Why is the Forbes ranking list without your word "Ming" Zhangqi once asked Zhewuer a question.

"Because I have threatened them, I dare to put my name on the list, be careful that they can't live their lives." Fan Wubing replied.

In fact, Forbes rankings seem to be honorary for foreigners. Everyone is proud to be on the rankings, but it is obviously very different in China. Everyone avoids it because a principle pursued by the Chinese is that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. When pigs are fattened, they have to slaughter and kill them.

Under the current domestic system, people who can get rich in just a few decades or more than a decade basically get rich when there are loopholes in the system. It can be said that basically the money they earn is not very clean. In addition to the interference of some local government officials, there are often some shameful things here.

Therefore, this has caused the domestic rich people to be less confident. After all, this first pot of gold came a little unclear. Once someone pursued this matter, it would inevitably be the end of a mother-in-law being imprisoned. It is also expected that billions of dollars of wealth will be confiscated.

In this case, everyone must have hated the Forbes rankings fabricated by Hurun. In fact, when many people were notified that they were about to be on the list, they wanted to hire someone to kill those good people. Isn’t this harmful?

The reason why Fan Wubing was able to keep a low profile was mainly related to his business strategy, because the companies and industries he owned were not listed publicly, so outsiders had no way to investigate, and no one knew how much money he had. If he only relied on estimation, the result would probably be very different, and Forbes would not dare to take this risk to offend Fan Wubing.

After all, if a rich man at this grassroots level wants to kill someone, as long as he expresses his attitude, a large number of international killers will immediately do this. It is simply a joke to investigate the murderer.

Up to now, no one dares to take the warnings issued by the intelligence departments of Fan Investment Group.

Another important topic in the second half of this year is that the United States finally launched a war against Afghanistan.

The most important military operation of the US military in Afghanistan, "lasting freedom", officially kicked off on October 7, and the terrorist attacks were less than a month old. The US military launched a new type of war in Afghanistan to overthrow the Taliban regime and destroy al-Qaeda.

Since Afghanistan is located deep inland, it is obviously unlikely to rely on ground forces to attack large-scale offensive operations, so the US military mainly relies on cruise missiles and various combat aircraft (including Chuanblade, strategic bombers and fighter aircraft equipped with precision guides) to carry out precision air strikes against the enemy. The marking of ground targets is completed by special forces using satellite devices, laser equipment and defense systems in conjunction with the Predator drone. The new air precision strike and the surface offensive operation jointly carried out by the use of information networks with the Afghan Northern Alliance forces has laid the foundation for the upcoming follow-up operations.

At first, the US military's combat operations were slow. It took a lot of time to deploy troops in the theater, establish appropriate logistics support bases, and win the cooperation of friendly and neighboring countries, including Uzbekistan and Pakistan.

As of October 19, the US Special Forces and CIA agents had successfully contacted the Northern Alliance, and the Central Command had four hundred combat aircraft and warships that could be called and had thirty-two respectively, including two aircraft carriers.

In the following time, they achieved significant victories.

The US military quickly destroyed the Taliban-armed bases, commands and air defense facilities through air strikes, and cut off its logistics supplies. The Northern Alliance troops on the ground lacked heavy equipment and were only half of the enemy's number, but with the support of the US air strikes, they steadily defeated the resistance of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

Important cities in northern Afghanistan, including Tarokan, Kunduz, Colt and Mazarishi Sharif, were successively captured within three weeks. On November 9, the enemy was captured in Kandahar, the last fortress in southern Afghanistan. On November 13, the enemy voluntarily gave up Dukabul.

On December 22, US government officials participated in the Korpur Victory Celebration, and the pro-U.S. regime led by Hamid Karzai was also established on the same day.

Although the enemy had evacuated the main battlefield and the Taliban regime had collapsed, the war was not over.

Intelligence shows that the Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants are gathering in the White Mountains at the junction of northern Afghanistan and Pakistan. In particular, numerous enemy troops, including ** and other Al-Qaeda backbone members, gather in the Torabola area.

On November 30, a large-scale attack was launched on Torabola in conjunction with the increasingly tacit US Rangers and the ground forces formed by the Afghan Allied forces combined with air strikes. The Afghan Allied forces participating in the battle this time were the Pston Self-Defense Forces under the Zaet warlords, rather than the Northern Alliance forces with rich combat experience.

The US air strikes were very strong, but the Pston Self-Defense Forces performed poorly.

As a result, although this battle killed and defeated hundreds of enemy troops, more enemy troops fled to Pakistan.

There are reports that ** and his accomplices also escaped.

The failure of the Allied forces to effectively cut off all escape routes is the main reason for the huge number of fleeing enemies. At the same time, the size of the ground troops in Afghanistan was too large. During the many combat operations on the battlefield in Afghanistan, the defeat of the Battle of Torabo and the lost fighter jets made the US military realize that if similar operations are carried out here in the future, the scale of the ground troops will inevitably be expanded.

If it were more than ten or twenty years ago, a centralized air-to-ground strike model like today would not have been adopted.

After the Vietnam War, the US Air Force and Navy abandoned the air-to-ground fire support style and began to emphasize air interception, blockade and strategic bombing. Although the Air Force was equipped with old air-to-ground support, the number was small, and jet fighters were the main combat equipment.

However, in recent years, air-to-ground support capabilities have made great progress. The biggest progress lies in the popularity of advanced avionics systems, which allows jet fighters to guide air-to-ground support fighters to conduct precise ground strikes, which is the biggest difference from the fighter jets used in the Vietnam War.

The advent of precisely guided weapons such as joint direct attack ammunition has led to a huge change in air-to-ground combat. The development of laser guidance and defense technology is equally important. When air-to-ground coordinated combat, these equipment can accurately determine the location of ground and air targets.

The use of modern information networks allows high communication between air force commanders, early warning aircraft, fighter aircraft and ground forces. Therefore, even if the original combat plan of some operations did not require air firepower, air forces could still be quickly

Currently, the U.S. military has launched a clearance operation in Afghanistan. The total number of aircraft that can be called by the mountain contingent exceeds 200, including bombers, fighters and other combat support aircraft jointly provided by the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. Old, Blade and more other aircraft have begun to fly to the combat areas to support ground operations.

The additional Apache armed helicopters and Marine Corps helicopters have also entered the war zone. In the next few days, the combat aircraft dispatched an average of more than 60 orders per day, and the entire combat operation took out a total of 900 orders of action combat aircraft to conduct ground attacks. The US air crew completed the mission well with their skillful skills and courage.

Due to the establishment of the air-ground information network, US combat aircraft can use various weapons to attack the enemy, including precision-guided weapons such as joint direct attack ammunition, conventional iron bombs, rockets and cannons. Most of the air strikes are directed to high. When necessary, they will also strafuse the air-to-ground targets. A large amount of ammunition pours into the canyon, effectively suppressing the enemy's firepower and annihilate a large number of enemy troops.

In the first few days, the air-to-ground fire support operation encountered some trouble, mainly due to the temporary nature of the mission and the uncertainty of the scope of the combat, and these problems are all to be resolved.

Normally, the army can achieve large-scale fire support using weapons such as artillery, mortars, etc., and saturated artillery fire can effectively suppress most of the enemy's counterattack firepower. In this way, the air force can carry out operations according to conventional intentions and conduct precise strikes on enemy targets that cannot be involved in ground artillery. In some operations, ground forces do not have artillery, and heavy mortars are very few, so the use of air firepower cannot be as usual. They must replace ground artillery and mortars. Under any circumstances, the ability of air forces to complete tasks is doubted by Mu Yong, but the adjustment and adaptation of combat procedures requires a process.

Of course, the US military's operations in Afghanistan were not smooth. On the contrary, it is really a brain-based approach to dealing with these local armed forces who have long been familiar with mountain combat.

A prominent issue is the command relationship in near-ground support operations. Although the workplace, ground contingent and its subordinate units are the main demands for near-air fire support, the dispatch of combat aircraft was initially in the hands of the Joint Command. Therefore, the air support of ground forces requested to go to the Joint Command, at least the early warning aircraft hovering in the air before obtaining permission.

Generally speaking, all emergency air-to-ground fire support requests will be approved immediately, and most support operations will be implemented within minutes of the request.

However, for some less urgent support requests, the reaction time will occasionally be delayed to about half an hour.

.

There are many reasons for delay in time, including target identification, inducing enemy exposure, determining the types of combat aircraft and weapons used, determining the route of action and managing a large amount of request information from the ground. These requests are sometimes even more than those on-demand aircraft.

Combat aircraft can be dispatched in circulation, but the geographical environment of the canyon is not conducive to the development of air-to-ground fire support. The depth of the canyon is only about five miles, and the number of aircraft carrying out missions during the same period is therefore limited by the airspace area. The enemy targets in the mountains are small and difficult to distinguish. Only when the planes rely on ground troops to accurately mark the targets can they carry out accurate strikes.

Although some air force liaison officers and more than 30 aviation controllers were assigned to the ground forces, their equipment was very limited. Some people did not have laser markers and were unable to use concaves to determine the precise coordinates of the target. They had to use tactical drawings to complete the task, but many drawings were not detailed enough to determine the precise coordinates of the target. Pilots sometimes found it difficult to find the designated target based on the drawings and had to talk to the ground forces.

In some cases, the Air Force commanders would reject some less urgent air-to-ground fire support requests from the ground forces, which, in their opinion, did not meet the standards for dispatching aircraft.

On the other hand, the air force commanders believed that the ground forces did not completely lure the enemy out and could not conduct accurate strikes. On the ground forces, the commander sometimes felt that in order to better create fighter jets, they had to take the initiative to lure the enemy into appearance.

Sometimes, due to radio frequency control, ground troops are prohibited from talking directly with aircraft overhead. Once the troops carrying short-wave radio stations are blocked by the region, it is difficult to communicate. This brings inconvenience to their calls for air strikes.

Sometimes, well-trained special forces members guided air-to-ground fire support when equipped with satellite communication facilities, but their voices were overwhelmed by calls from mountain contingents to air strikes. In the first few days, these frictions caused a lot of trouble for air-to-ground cooperation.

In addition, due to the cover of the mountains, it is very difficult to carry out air strikes on enemy targets. The usual means are usually to accurately strike them, but even if the precise strike is successfully carried out, it is often destroyed only the heavy machine gun strongholds guarded by two or three people. A large number of enemy troops are hidden in the mountains and ridges. Countless small targets have been formed, and they must be attacked one by one.

What's worse is that the enemy always hides in the cave before the air strike is about to arrive. After the cannon sound is far away, they run out to continue to resist. Relying on air firepower to clear the enemy, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency is greatly reduced. Therefore, the air firepower strike must last for many days to achieve the goal of killing the enemy in large quantities.

For various reasons, the Joint Command realized that it was a mistake to conduct commands, so they quickly handed over the assignment of combat aircraft to the mountain's contingent, which made the target designation and bombing order closer to the needs of ground forces.

The arrival of the old, blade and Apache attack helicopters has also made the number of combat aircraft far exceeding the requirements of the combat plan, and has also reduced the dependence on high-altitude fighter jets and bombers. The cooperation capabilities between pilots, ground commanders and army units have also steadily improved.

In recent days, the air strike that lasted for a week has greatly weakened the enemy's strength, and by destroying enemy targets in large quantities, forcing the enemy to give up resistance, the ground combat situation has also opened up a good situation. Some medium and heavy mortars were airlifted to the ground troops, thus allowing them to strike enemy targets at a distance.
