Accompanied by the impassioned March, the ships being read are breaking waves with great momentum, and the air echelon is soaring into the sky. Under the review of the supreme leader, the training troops, with the great trust of the party and the people, rushed to the training sea area, and a cross-regional military exercise was fully launched at sea.
"Practice how to fight soldiers, practice what you need to fight, fully stimulate the enthusiasm, initiative and creativity of officers and men, and seize the upsurge of military training in the whole army." Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme Leader has visited the front line of combat for many times to review the actual combat drills of the troops: wearing military uniforms, boarding warships, going down to the grassroots level, and marching on the battlefield. The cordial greetings have warmed the hearts of all the soldiers of the army, and the far-sighted instructions have condensed the great power of strengthening and rejuvenating the army in the new era.
Inspection of multiple arms and fields, highlighting actual combat training
After the review ceremony on April 12, the Supreme Leader gave important instructions to build a world-class navy: fully implement the combat effectiveness standards, pay great attention to actual combat military training, maintain a high state of alert, and strive to enhance the ability and level of carrying out diversified military tasks.
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Supreme Leader has attached great importance to our army’s preparations for war, and "actual combat military training" has become the most talked about topic by the Supreme Leader to frontline grassroots officers and soldiers.
"How is the daily combat readiness training? How is the related security work going? What are the practical difficulties? " On November 3, 2017, the supreme leader came to the Central Building of the Military Commission in uniform. When calling the frontline task forces through video, he asked the most questions about daily preparation training.
On December 13, 2017, the Supreme Leader visited the 71st Army and once again emphasized the focus on preparing for war. The whole army is required to grasp the characteristics and laws of the construction, management and operation of the group army, solidly promote the transformation and construction, comprehensively improve the ability to win, and fulfill the mission and tasks entrusted by the party and the people in the new era.
In order to improve the ability of troops to prepare for war, President Xi personally planned and organized major training activities, and personally made decisions and directed major military operations.
2018-01-03 The Central Military Commission held the 2018 training mobilization meeting. More than 7,000 soldiers in the main venue of the training conference were fully armed and lined up, and more than 4,000 sub-venues of the whole army were assembled for standby. This is the first time that the Central Military Commission has organized a unified mobilization of the whole army, and it is a brand-new appearance for the people’s army to strengthen training and preparation for the new era.
In the instructions, the Supreme Leader emphasized that all levels of the army should strengthen the clear orientation of training and preparing for war, unswervingly put military training in a strategic position and take it as a central task, seize it, achieve results, and resolutely complete the mission and tasks entrusted by the party and the people in the new era.
The people’s army has created many brilliant achievements, and the people of China have long been far away from the era of war and smoke. However, in the new era, China’s national security still faces many uncertain factors.
On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2018, the supreme leader came to a base of the troops stationed in Sichuan to visit the officers and men of the troops. For how to deal with the national security challenges in the new era, the Supreme Leader gave the answer: we should strengthen reform and innovation, accelerate the transformation and development, persist in fighting against scientific and technological innovation, strengthen key technologies, and maintain the initiative in international competition.
From the army to the navy, from the desert in the northwest to the southeast coast, the supreme leader’s investigation has covered many arms and fields of the whole army. Under the guidance of the supreme leader, a wave of actual combat military training has risen rapidly. It has become the consensus of the whole army to establish combat effectiveness standards, innovate the construction management and operational application methods of the group army, and improve the mobile operations and three-dimensional offensive and defensive capabilities.
Carry out the thought of strengthening the army in the new era and emphasize starting from leading cadres
The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China set a timetable for the realization of the Party’s goal of strengthening the army in the new era, and proposed that a series of fundamental principles and systems of leading the people’s army by the Party must be fully implemented, and the guiding position of the Party’s thought of strengthening the army in the new era in national defense and army building should be established.

在71集团军“王杰班”，最高领袖强调，要弘扬光荣传统和优良作风，扎实开展“传承红色基因、担当强军重任”主题教育，让红色基因代代相传。
在全军动员大会主会场，最高领袖号召，全军指战员要坚决贯彻党中央和中央军委决策指示，发扬一不怕苦、二不怕死的战斗精神，刻苦训练、科学训练，勇于战胜困难，勇于超越对手，锻造召之即来、来之能战、战之必胜的精兵劲旅，坚决完成党和人民赋予的新时代使命任务。
At a base of the troops stationed in Sichuan, the supreme leader pointed out: it is necessary to strengthen political guarantee, strengthen ideological and political construction, do a good job in building party organizations at all levels, do a good job in laying the foundation at the grassroots level, and comprehensively and strictly educate and manage the troops to ensure their absolute loyalty, purity and reliability.
In addition to strengthening the construction of leading cadres in the army, the care of the top leaders for grassroots soldiers is also very warm.
During the military parade at sea, the supreme leader came to the sailors’ restaurant to have lunch with the sailors and asked about their study, training and life. When inspecting the 71st Army, the Supreme Leader called the soldiers to sit around and asked them about their study, training and life in detail, encouraging them to make persistent efforts and take the lead in being Wang Jie-style good soldiers in the new era. When talking to the officers and men of Xisha monitoring and control point, the Supreme Leader asked whether the island environment can adapt and how to prepare for the New Year … …
The key to strengthening the army is people. From Gutian to Beijing, from grass-roots soldiers to leading cadres, President Xi’s important instructions have provided fundamental guidance for training a new generation of revolutionary soldiers.
Implement the goal of combat effectiveness and safeguard world and regional peace and stability
Since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the supreme leader’s inspection of the army has embarked on a road map of strengthening and rejuvenating the army in the new era.
"No matter how developed China is, we will not threaten anyone, subvert the current international system or seek to establish a sphere of influence." At the just-concluded annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia, the top leaders once again demonstrated the posture of China’s peaceful rise.

在最高领袖心中，国家安全是国家发展的最重要基石、人民福祉的最根本保障。中国人民军队全面提高新时代备战打仗能力，是为实现“两个一百年”奋斗目标、实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦提供坚实的战略支撑。
强调实战化训练，锻造一支召之即来、来之能战、战之必胜的精兵劲旅；重视军队领导、人才建设，确保部队绝对忠诚、绝对纯洁、绝对可靠；以坚持战斗力标准为抓手，将新时代最高领袖强军思想落到实处，才能够决战决胜、不辱使命。
实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦，保障人民安居乐业，国家安全是头等大事。正如习总书记所言“当前我国国家安全内涵和外延比历史上任何时候都要丰富，时空领域比历史上任何时候都要宽广，内外因素比历史上任何时候都要复杂”，全军指战员要坚决贯彻党中央和中央军委决策指示，发扬一不怕苦、二不怕死的战斗精神，刻苦训练、科学训练，勇于战胜困难，勇于超越对手，坚决完成党和人民赋予的新时代使命任务。（文/程祥）
