        <description>This is the most recent release of this seminal work. Translated to English language. Rather than offer this as an Audiobook, I will be releasing the next Chapter on this podcast whenever I see the sale of a paperback copy of my book on Amazon until all 25 chapters are released. Personally, I am not a big fan of subscriptions, so once all chapters are out there, they will be available for FREE. So, I start by putting out this Introduction and Chapter 1 -Strategic Theory right away. When somebody buys a copy of the book I will release the next chapter.</description>

                                            <![CDATA[<p>With the development and change of the international strategic situation and the security environment of our<br />country, the factors of insecurity, instability and uncertainty facing our country have increased significantly.<br />Crisis has gradually become the normal state of national security, and military crises have also shown an<br />increasing trend. Military crises are the crossroads of war and peace. If they cannot be effectively prevented<br />and dealt with, they may get out of control and escalate into war, which will have a major impact and<br />interference on the peaceful development of our country, and even destroy the hard-won achievements of<br />reform and opening up. Therefore, we should thoroughly study and explore the characteristics and laws of<br />military crises, actively prevent crises, strive to manage crises, properly handle crises, control the impact<br />and impact of military crises within a certain range, and create a peaceful and stable strategic environment<br />for national development.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Section One: The Connotation and Characteristics of Military crisis</strong><br />After the end of the Cold War, international military crises frequently occurred, and the incentives were<br />complex and diverse.

<p>To strengthen the country and the army, strategy is first. To study and research strategy, we must first clarify<br />the basic concepts, study the basic theories, and master the basic principles. This Part is the basic theory of<br />strategy, which aims to reveal the basic connotation, basic principles, and operating laws of strategy. On the<br />basis of explaining the basic issues of strategy, the five links of strategic operation are discussed in detail,<br />namely, strategic judgment, strategic decision-making, strategic planning, strategic implementation, and<br />strategic evaluation. Among them, making correct strategic judgments on the security situation facing the<br />country is the starting point for strategic operations. On the basis of strategic analysis and judgment,<br />strategic directors make strategic decisions, identify threats, distinguish between enemies and friends, clarify<br />goals and tasks, and make strategic deployments. In order to implement the various contents of the strategic<br />decision, it is necessary to formulate a strategic plan, and then pay for the implementation of the strategy,<br />and implement the content of the strategic decision and plan into all links and stages of military conflict and<br />army building. Finally, there is an evaluation of the strategic operation process. This is the complete process<br />and basic principle of strategic operation. By revealing this basic principle, this part provides theoretical<br />support for the strategic guidance on the use and construction of military forces in later chapters.</p>]]>
