The Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 has brought profound enlightenment to the world, especially to our defeated country. However, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 in the modern battlefield dominated by high technology, in the important period of winning local wars in modern complex electromagnetic environment and realizing the transformation and construction of our army's education and training, still left us with many thoughts and inspirations. The navy is the source of strength, and strength is immeasurable. Any military revolution means not only the progress of military technology, the renewal of weapons and equipment, the evolution of war forms and the adjustment of military system, but also the emancipation of the mind. If the old ideological system still dominates, military reform will be difficult to succeed. Throughout the world's major military powers, all regard ideological construction as the focus of military development and construction, with the aim of continuously promoting the development of ideological concepts. Facing China, the sixth largest naval power in the world at that time, Japan, the twelfth island country, made a lot of detailed research on the operational situation faced by both sides, and made clear the operational thinking of "first annihilating the main force of China's navy at sea, mastering the sea power of Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, and ensuring the safe transportation of the main force of the army landing in Bohai Bay". Unfortunately, China, as the other side of the war, has long been aware of Japan's ambition to invade China and made some efforts, while making the above-mentioned very careful, clear and firm plan on the basis of the correct judgment and decision of the Japanese base camp. However, since the establishment of the Beiyang Navy, the development of the navy has been stagnant or even shrinking. Of course, the result can be imagined. It is precisely because of the backward concept and the lack of strategic and tactical theory that this navy with advanced armored warships was doomed to failure from the beginning. Then, facing the increasingly advanced high technology in today's world, it coincides with the critical period of our army's March towards informationization. It is the right time to aim at the military frontier theory, vigorously advocate and develop innovative military theoretical research, further clarify the correct direction of development and construction, fully change ideas, catch up with advanced trends, keep up with the pace of development, and ensure the smooth transformation of our army to informationization at present. For some time, our party has been committed to comprehensively implementing Scientific Outlook on Development's innovative theoretical achievements. The so-called scientific development is to comprehensively coordinate and promote the coordinated progress of all social systems. However, in the critical period of our army's leap to informationization, many people unilaterally believe that as long as there are advanced weapons, the leap will be realized. In fact, national defense and army building is a huge systematic project, which also involves key parts such as army system, regularization construction and comprehensive quality of officers and men. Without any of them, it is impossible. Naturally, we once again thought of/kloc-the "magnificent" fleet more than 0/00 years ago. On the eve of the war, China established an army with all new equipment, bought dozens of foreign warships and established the Beiyang Navy. Judging from the equipment of the two sides, the weapons of the two sides are comparable, and China even surpasses the Japanese in the performance of a single ship. Judging from the technical level and quantity of weapons and equipment, China's army is not worse than Japan's, but in other respects, China is one era behind Japan. The military reform in the late Qing Dynasty adopted the way of reorganization on the edge of the old system. For the reform, it has indeed achieved partial success, but on the whole, it is difficult to make a big breakthrough in the overall level of army building because the new military system cannot be successfully established. When the Qing army was still fighting in accordance with the ancient Hunan military camp system and the ancient dense array system, Japan had already imitated the West to realize the military system reform, and the navy imitated Britain. In terms of laws and regulations, although the "Regulations of Beiyang Navy" was promulgated, violations still went their own way. The soldiers have moved to Liu Gongdao as soon as possible, and half of the people who came ashore stayed at night. The prefect built a house for rent on the island. It is an indisputable fact that we can't lead by example and strictly manage the army, which leads to the confusion of fleet management. Most of the generals of Beiyang Navy have received formal western-style education and training, and most of them do not lack the heart of worrying about the country and the people. However, under the generous treatment of the country, they are economically greedy, structural and symbiotic corruption, pathetic! Therefore, China's army has stepped onto the world stage today, and its backwardness is not only in weapons and equipment. To catch up with the advanced world level, we need to make progress in weapons and equipment, tactics and technology, military thinking, talent quality structure, military establishment system and so on. If we only focus on weapons and equipment without comprehensively transforming the whole system, even with advanced weapons and equipment, it is difficult to achieve success in military reform. Strengthening the army and putting people first is a comprehensive and complex system, including ideological quality, physical quality, scientific quality, innovation ability and so on. Forging comprehensive new military talents in the new era is the basis for our army to successfully realize the information transformation, and it is also one of the important goals of our army's education and training transformation. Warships of Beiyang Navy Although most officials of Beiyang Navy have received systematic education in naval military theory, these senior generals, who grew up with the Four Books and Five Classics, are insignificant in front of the Japanese navy armed with the most advanced theories and scientific progress in the West. Unable to correctly apply advanced theories, unable to find the correct coping strategies, blindly following the old rules and obeying orders, eventually leading to expensive advanced equipment becoming gorgeous furnishings in the rumble of guns. At the same time, due to the lack of attention to drills in peacetime, naval officers and men are unfamiliar with advanced equipment, and it is difficult to fully combine people and equipment in a hurry. Similarly, in the current informatization construction of our army, we should also pay attention to the full running-in of personnel and weapon systems, realize the close cooperation between combatants and weapons and equipment, and make the informatization high-tech equipment exert its maximum efficiency under skilled and accurate control, so as to continuously improve its combat effectiveness and effectively enhance its ability to cope with various threats and challenges. Innovation, the soul of a nation, lies in sublation. Blind plagiarism will eventually lead to fiasco. History tells us once again that the promotion of military reform with China characteristics cannot be divorced from the general trend of military reform in the world, nor can we completely apply the experience of others. On the contrary, we should adopt a Chinese style in adapting to the "world". Facts have repeatedly warned us that to carry out military reform, we must take scientific and technological development and innovation as a long-term task. Without the support of science and innovation, military reform will inevitably become passive water. The core of Scientific Outlook on Development is people-oriented. To thoroughly implement Scientific Outlook on Development in the field of military work, the most decisive significance is to firmly establish the people-oriented concept of building and managing the army, fully mobilize the enthusiasm and creative spirit of officers and men, and promote the overall improvement of combat effectiveness. It is necessary to combine the modernization of people with the informationization of the army, the cultivation of fighting spirit with caring for officers and men, the strict administration of the army with military democracy, and constantly promote the all-round development of officers and men and the all-round progress of the army.
