There have been legends of "war situation" and "war terror situation" circulating on the Internet, but in fact, behind these so-called organizations, there is an expert named Duan Hand.
This expert relied on running trains with his mouth full, not only "fooled" authoritative experts on CCTV, but also let netizens listen to him every day for 28 years.
Who is this "fooling expert"? What made him hot for so long in this era of "experts"?
Young
In February 1952, an ordinary peasant family in Yanshan County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, gave birth to the first boy, and his parents named him Zhongzhong, pinning their loyalty to the country and high hopes for their son.
Zhang Zhaozhong's family was not rich since he was a child, and the clothes he wore were all old clothes accumulated by his parents' patches, and the vegetables he ate were all vegetables and fruits grown by himself, and he rarely had the opportunity to eat meat.
But his parents still did not give up his desire to study because of difficulties. After graduating from high school, Zhang Zhaozhong was admitted to a secondary school in Cangzhou City.
In the early 70s, Zhang Zhaozhong was called up in the army, came to a new army environment, and trained, studied and lived with his comrades from all over the world, which was a new experience for him.
Zhang Zhaozhong served in the South China Sea Fleet and the North Sea Fleet, doing the daily work of coastal defense. He trained conscientiously and took the initiative, and was quickly appreciated by his superiors, and was later promoted and transferred to a naval equipment research center of the North Sea Fleet, specializing in scientific research on radar and other military equipment.
Here, Zhang Zhaozhong met many knowledgeable experts and professors and drew a lot of professional knowledge from them.
During a foreign language test, Zhang Zhaozhong's outstanding language talent was discovered, and the organization decided to send him to the Department of Foreign Languages of Peking University for further study. Zhang Zhaozhong felt extremely honored, which he never expected.
During his studies at Peking University, he immersed himself in learning English, Arabic and other languages, and discussed language knowledge with professional teachers and foreign students.
After graduating from university, Zhang Zhaozhong went to Iraq to work with a full of knowledge, and soon after the Iran-Iraq War broke out, he experienced the cruelty of the war firsthand and was transferred back to his original unit in China.
After returning to China, Zhang Zhaozhong continued to study Arabic and taught himself Japanese. He spends all his time studying and hopes to contribute more to the country.
In 1992, 40-year-old Zhang Zhaozhong was invited to become the main speaker of CCTV's "Military World" program, which opened his TV path. Facing the camera for the first time, Zhang Zhaozhong was nervous and excited, and finally had the opportunity to share the accumulated knowledge with everyone.
Zhang Zhaozhong's humorous hosting style is well received by the audience, and he can explain obscure military knowledge to everyone in an easy-to-understand manner. The ratings of many programs presented by Zhang Zhaozhong ranked among the best in the military category, and he gradually accumulated popularity and became a "net celebrity" in the military critic circle.
From an ordinary farmer to a military commentator active on television, Zhang Zhaozhong has stepped to the pinnacle of his life with his diligent, studious, professional and dedicated spirit.
Experts are still bricks
In 2013, Zhang Zhaozhong first proposed the theory of "kelp entanglement submarine" when he participated in a military program. Based on his own experience, he analyzed that kelp is cultivated in large quantities off the coast of the mainland, and foreign submarines can easily get entangled in the propellers.
At the time, many people thought it was just a joke. However, Zhang Zhaozhong analyzed that he had witnessed a submarine once being entangled in a propeller by kelp farmed by fishermen.
As a veteran, he attaches great importance to the accumulation of practical experience. And this situation of "kelp entanglement in submarines" seems very likely to happen to him.
But in 2016, a U.S. nuclear submarine did get entangled in kelp off the mainland, and finally turned to China to get out of trouble. This incident made many viewers impressed Zhang Zhaozhong, and it turned out that his whimsical ideas were grounded.
An audience member also developed a propeller guard based on this theory and passed a patent application. This proves that Zhang Zhaozhong's theory is not only interesting, but also has practical application value.
In 2014, when Beijing's smog was at its worst, Zhang Zhaozhong proposed on the show that smog could defend against laser weapons.
He delved into the principles of laser weapons, noting that it relies on precise laser beams for aiming and striking. At that time, the visibility of Beijing during severe smog did not exceed half a meter, which had seriously affected the effectiveness of laser weapons.
Some experts have conducted simulations and confirmed that in that environment, the strike range and accuracy of laser weapons will be greatly reduced.
Although this "natural cover" effect has diminished with the control of smog, this line of thinking has inspired people to think about how to use their strengths and turn the crisis into safety in seemingly disadvantaged environments.
Zhang Zhaozhong also proposed to use artificial meteorites to destroy aircraft carriers from space. He analyzed that current aircraft carriers are an important symbol of maritime power, but also a huge stationary target.
Using advanced technology to generate small meteorites in space and then lock onto targets for high-speed impact could theoretically cause devastating blows to aircraft carriers.
Although this approach is difficult to achieve under current technological conditions, it inspires people to think about the amazing new concepts of future space weapons.
We should not be bound by known conventional thinking, but should be like Zhang Zhaozhong, think outside the box and boldly predict various possibilities in the future.
Many of Zhang's whimsy were often criticized as "fantastic" at the time, but some of his ideas proved to be prescient and enlightening.
It is this way of thinking that dares to say and predict boldly that makes him unique in the world of military criticism. He is both a "brick man" and a truly forward-looking expert.
Fool the United States
The China Strategic Fooling Bureau, headed by Zhang Zhaozhong, has bought time for China's military development by spreading false intelligence to confuse the United States. For example, Zhang Zhaozhong denied that China was testing the J-20, only to surprise the United States when the J-20 suddenly appeared.
Zhang Zhaozhong claimed that the displacement of the 055 drive was only 7,000 tons, but it actually reached 13,000 tons, which once again surprised the US military.
As the United States hesitated to shut down the F22 production line, Zhang Zhaozhong said China's aviation technology was backward and far from catching up. The United States listened and closed the F22 line in favor of the development of the F35.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese J-20 came out very quickly, and Russia followed suit, so that the United States lost its air supremacy advantage. This has directly led to a serious weakening of US air supremacy in the Asia-Pacific region.
Zhang Zhaozhong also revealed that the mainland only has a few gliding aircraft carriers and cannot pose a threat to the United States. The United States was overjoyed and showed great contempt for the mainland navy.
Who knew that the mainland had long developed an electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, and the launch of the Fujian ship caught the United States off guard. This has brought a huge strategic impact to the United States, which originally believed that the Western Pacific is its own internal sea, but now this perception has been completely broken.
In fact, the Strategic Confusion Bureau led by Zhang Zhaozhong has also created many lies, such as exaggerating the technical content of Dongfeng missiles, underestimating the number of Chinese nuclear submarines, and downplaying China's anti-missile strength.
This false intelligence has confused the United States' judgment of China's military strength, made the United States overestimate its own strength, and misjudged the process of China's military modernization.
It can be said that the strategic flickering bureau led by Zhang Zhaozhong confused the United States by spreading erroneous intelligence to win strategic opportunities for China, promoted the rapid development of military strength, made the United States defenseless, and contributed to the mainland's military rise.
However, strategic flickering is not a long-term solution. As China's military grew, the United States began to understand. We cannot always rely on misleading our opponents, and in the end we must speak with actual military power.
China must accelerate the modernization of military equipment through independent innovation, enhance its comprehensive national strength, and strive to become one of the world's great powers as soon as possible.
Always on the road
After retiring, Zhang Zhaozhong did not go into seclusion. In July 2015, at the age of 69, he officially retired. Retirement means the end of life for many elderly people, but Zhang Zhaozhong chooses to continue to struggle.
He took the initiative to embrace new things and shared military knowledge and experience with the public by opening social media accounts and other means. Despite the need to relearn in the face of the online world, Zhang Zhaozhong does not mind and actively embraces young people's culture.
He opened Douyin and Weibo accounts, spread military knowledge in a relaxed and humorous way, and interacted with young netizens at zero distance.
Zhang Zhaozhong did this not on a whim. He knows that only by integrating into the lives of young people can more people pay attention to national defense. Years of experience as a TV host taught him that it would not work to promote in an authoritative manner.
Young people like to interact and engage, so he takes the initiative to adopt their cultural approach. In the past, Zhang Zhaozhong could choose to retire and enjoy retirement.
But for the sake of the national interest, he resolutely chose to reappear. Even in the face of criticism from the outside world, it will not make him regain his enthusiasm.
It was this selfless dedication to national defense that allowed him to stand in the military for 27 years and become popular again after retirement. Zhang Zhaozhong's speech and behavior are humorous and witty, and there is no shelf for communicating with people, which makes him deeply loved by young people.
However, when it comes to issues of principle, he dares to show his face and boldly express his views. Zhang Zhaozhong's sharp and upright rhetoric is neither overly radical nor loses his big-picture view, so he has been widely recognized.
Over the years, he practiced patriotism in his own way and was a well-deserved patriot.
In 2015, when China's first domestically built aircraft carrier was launched, Zhang Zhaozhong cried with excitement, lamenting that such an achievement was too difficult. He has been determined to strengthen the army since he was a child, and finally saw the moment when his long-cherished wish came true. Today, the Chinese Navy has entered the era of aircraft carriers, and its national strength is becoming stronger and stronger.
From the "strategic bureau" in the past to the current "strategic intimidation bureau", it is a portrayal of China's increased strength. Zhang Zhaozhong has also grown from a lobbyist in the past to an elder who makes enemies unreachable.
As the years passed, Zhang Zhaozhong still harbored a youthful heart. He has always been keen to spread military knowledge and get more young people to pay attention to national defense. In his eyes, his dream has never changed, and his career is still on the road.
Over the years, Zhang Zhaozhong has been consistent, inspiring countless young people to serve the country. His story is also inspiring countless old people to live and learn to be old.
epilogue
As a military professor on the mainland, Zhang Zhaozhong not only made great contributions to the military cause of the motherland, but also often popularized military knowledge and international trends for the ordinary people, which also awakened the patriotism of more people.
There are many turning points in the development of a country, and so do individuals, who have influenced countless people from a soldier to a military host, and he said when he retired that the nature of his work may have changed, but he has always regarded patriotism education and national defense education as a cause to do.
