"A strong country must have a strong army, and only when the army is strong can it be national security" "Build the people's army into a world-class army, and defend national sovereignty, security and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means"...

Over the past few days, from cities to frontiers, from islands to plateaus, from organs to troops, President Xi's important speech has aroused strong repercussions throughout the army. The vast number of officers and men said that they should thoroughly study and implement the spirit of President Xi's important speech, keep firmly in mind the original mission, inherit the red gene, and shoulder the heavy responsibility of strengthening the army, further gather the will power to obey the party's command and strive to strengthen the army, accelerate the modernization of national defense and the army, constantly create a new situation in the cause of strengthening the military, and strive to win greater glory for the party and the people.

Adhere to the party's absolute leadership over the people's army

"Insisting on the party's command of the gun and building its own people's army is an indisputable truth that the party has drawn in the struggle between blood and fire."

In all departments and major units of the Central Military Commission, party committees at all levels organize special study and study Chairman Xi's important speech verbatim in its original form and word by word. Everyone feels even more deeply that with the CPC and the strong leadership of the CPC, the people's army will have a direction and strength in advancing, and we must firmly uphold the party's absolute leadership over the army and regard this as the soul of the people's army that can never be changed and the lifeblood that can never be lost.

A certain brigade of the 83rd Group Army, where the "branch was built on a company," and a certain composite brigade of the Northern Theater Army, whose predecessor units had undergone "three bay reorganizations," set up a classroom for studying Chairman Xi's important speech in the honor room to educate and guide officers and men to profoundly understand what the party's core, the people's leader, and the army commander-in-chief were thinking and hoping for, fully realizing that the fundamental principle and system of the party's absolute leadership over the army is the political characteristics and fundamental advantages of the people's army that are completely different from all old armies, and keeping in mind that the party's absolute leadership over the army is the foundation of the people's army. The soul of a strong army has always been absolutely loyal, absolutely pure and absolutely reliable.

Experts and scholars from the National Defense University, the National University of Defense Technology, the Naval University of Engineering, and other units have conscientiously studied and comprehended the spirit of President Xi's important speech through collective study and special seminars. Shang Wei, a researcher at the Academy of Military Sciences' Institute of Military Political Work, said: Forging a solid military soul is the core task of our military's political work, and we must not waver at any time, and we must run the strategy of political military building in the new era through the entire process of teaching and scientific research in all aspects, and contribute wisdom and strength to promoting the cause of strengthening the military in the new era.

"I volunteered to join the Communist Party of China, support the party's program, and abide by the party's constitution..." Officers and men of a certain brigade of the 72nd Group Army, the Shandong warship of the Navy, a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps, the first detachment of the Shanghai Armed Police Corps, the Xingtai detachment of the Hebei Armed Police Corps, and the Eighth Medical Center of the General Hospital of the People's Liberation Army walked into the old red site to carry out themed party day activities and relive the oath of joining the party. Qiao Wenze, instructor of the "Three Companies of Great Merit," said that the officers and men of the company will inherit and carry forward the great spirit of party building, unremittingly arm their minds with the latest achievements in the party's innovative theory, guide practice, and promote work, and at any time and under any circumstances take the party's banner as the banner, the party's direction as the direction, and the party's will as the will.

Accelerate the modernization of national defense and the armed forces

Transport helicopters, Z-10 gunships, J-20 aircraft, J-10 aircraft, trainer aircraft... At the celebration meeting, war eagles either hoisted and dragged the bright red flag of the Communist Party of China, or formed the words "100" and "71", or formed into wedges, or pulled out three-colored smoke and flew over Tiananmen Square.

"To learn from history and create the future, we must speed up the modernization of national defense and the armed forces." Song Zhipeng, commander of an air assault brigade, was the co-pilot of the first helicopter of the air flag protection echelon. At present, his brigade is carrying out a series of theme activities of "learning to speak, shouldering the mission, and seeking to win wars" to enhance the level of ability to win modern wars.

Qian Qihu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a professor at the Army Engineering University, was the winner of the country's highest science and technology award and listened to President Xi's important speech on the spot. He said that it is necessary to lead the team to aim at the forefront of military science and technology in the world, strengthen forward-looking planning and design, accelerate the development of strategic, cutting-edge and subversive technologies, and provide intellectual support and scientific and technological support for accelerating the modernization of national defense and the armed forces.

"Informationized warfare is a confrontation of high-tech weapons, and it is also a contest between people." Officers and men of the Four Detachments of the Triangle Mountain Border Defense Company of a certain brigade of the Army, the Changsha Warship of the Navy, the Hanzhong Warship, the Front Management And Defense Company of a certain brigade of the Rocket Force, and the Beijing Armed Police Corps on duty said that they should bear in mind Chairman Xi's instructions, strive to study scientific and technological knowledge, and continuously improve their ability and level in applying science and technology.

Liu Shan, assistant engineer of the technical office of a certain brigade of the Rocket Force, is the technical backbone of the unit, and has participated in the completion of a number of research and development tasks, which has greatly shortened the generation cycle of the combat effectiveness of a certain new type of missile weapon. She said: In the future, it is necessary to be down-to-earth, redouble our efforts, and thoroughly refine our technology so that the power of strategic deterrence can be fully displayed.

Modernization of military theory, modernization of military organization, modernization of military personnel, modernization of weapons and equipment... The vast number of officers and men of a certain submarine base of the Navy, an aviation university of the Air Force, a certain department of the Strategic Support Force, a certain regiment of the joint logistics support force, the Chongqing Armed Police Corps, and the Guangxi Armed Police Corps said that it is necessary to strengthen reform and innovation, let the vitality of all elements of combat effectiveness burst forth in a race, let the source of all army modernization construction fully flow, and unswervingly advance along the road of strengthening the army with Chinese characteristics.

Safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means

In this fiery summer, many officers and men of the armed forces ushered in the centennial anniversary of the Communist Party of China on the front line of the exercise.

Next to the chariot, in the cabin, under the wings, and in the cave, the officers and men listened attentively to and studied President Xi's important speech, and firmly stated that they should enhance their sense of distress, always think of danger in times of peace, carry forward the fighting spirit of "not being afraid of hardship, not being afraid of death," train hard to win the battle, forge a crack army, always be a strong pillar for defending the red country and the mountains and safeguarding national dignity, always be a powerful force for safeguarding regional and world peace, and never allow any foreign forces to bully, oppress, or enslave us.

During the liaodong exercise, officers and men of a certain brigade of the army built a complex electromagnetic environment similar to actual combat to verify the combat effectiveness of a new type of unmanned aerial vehicle platform. Xu Dawei, political commissar of the brigade, said: As a front-line soldier, we must firmly stand up the baton of preparing for war, focus all our minds on fighting wars, and exert efforts in all aspects of our work to fight wars to ensure that we can pull out, go up, and win wars when the party and the people need them.

In Kunlun, a certain brigade of the airborne troops carried out airborne combat drills in the context of actual combat, and many detachments relied on alternating terrain and features to provide cover and rapid raids, and completed the key tasks of seizing control within the specified time. The officers and men said that as Huang Jiguang's successors, they must straighten out their training style, temper their will to fight, temper their ability to win wars, and become a sharp knife for winning victories that reassures the party and the people.

Slackness will be decadent, forgetting the war will be dangerous. Huang Shuai, instructor of the Yuqitash Border Defense Company of the Kyzyl Soviet Military Sub-district in Xinjiang, said: Guarding the stability of the frontier and guarding the peace of the motherland is our duty and mission, and we must live up to the great trust of the party and the people, strengthen military training and preparation for war, always sit back and wait, and loyally guard the western gate of the motherland.

The vast number of officers and men said that they will resolutely implement Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, implement the military strategic principles of the new era, adhere to the party's absolute leadership over the people's army, adhere to the road of strengthening the army with Chinese characteristics, comprehensively promote political army building, reform and strengthen the army, strengthen the army with science and technology, strengthen the army with qualified personnel, and govern the army according to law, build the people's army into a world-class army, and defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means!
