The only gay in the history of the army: true love, 40 years little trick
Not long ago, U.S. President Barack Obama said it would repeal the military’s gay ban, the ban on homosexual soldiers asked their sexual orientation to remain silent, or they will be dismissed. Currently, the armed forces of many countries are difficult to tolerate the existence of homosexuality. However, in history, but there was an army composed of purely homosexual. And “homosexual affect combat effectiveness,” the opposite point of view, this army fighting tough, it established 40 years rarely defeat.
Wound dressing for the comrades
Thebes “Holy Army” was born
378 BC, the ancient Greek city of Thebes in general high-Ji Dasi created a very special army, that of Thebes, “Holy Army”, which consists of 300 (150 pairs), with soldiers from Legions of Thebes in all selected, and the soldiers are noble birth. The criteria for selection are: gay, romantic relationship, fighting tough. After these three conditions, would return 300, Thebes also reflects a very popular gay army. A military commander Saint said: “The same clan or tribe of the same few people to help each other in times of crisis, a regiment of soldiers should be mixed together in love, so as to form unbreakable, indestructible force, because a person absolutely do not want to lose face in front of his lover, and he would love to protect people who sacrifice their lives. “
Gao Ji Dasi them form a separate Corps, so that they swear loyalty to each other love and friendship, as the Army’s elite forces supporting the use of other, later defined as a vanguard.
Many people may not understand why such a gay troops were able to set up, it should start with ancient Greek culture. Read the classics of ancient Greece, ancient Greece will find a very strong gay culture, especially in Thebes as the most, containing the history of Thebes is Greece’s most open-ended one city to encourage homosexuality. Greek historian Xenophon wrote in his book mentioned in Thebes, adult men and boys can be in a similar open marriage cohabitation. Aristotle described in the book, said there is a sacred Thebes “Yiemosi Tomb,” gay people in the grave oath of loyalty to each other. It is against this background that led to the “Holy Army” well born, as a special color force, which was named “holy army.”
Beat the Spartans, a fame
In 371 BC, Sparta dominated the Greek city-state king Weng Bourotte, rate of 1.1 million troops conquest of Thebes. That time, Greece is at a “heavy armored infantry” of the peak times, through the unique “Spartan military education,” trained the Spartan army fighting strong, good “shock and awe shock tactics”, the key to fighting tactics the formation and progress must be kept intact to ensure that the military square in the same time all the spears into the enemy’s front, which washed away enemy positions in one fell swoop.
Thebes was the national army had only 7,500 people. Spartan army against the powerful “shock and awe shock” tactics commander Epaminondas of Thebes, a novel design of the “ramp-shaped battle formation” to stop the enemy’s spears impact. This new formation, the “Holy Army” will play a “trump card” role, the rapid attack the enemy’s right wing, forcing the enemy chaos, the main force to flee attacks.
August 5, the two sides remain Ke Tela region tactics deployed by their battle array. Campaign began, the commander ordered the whole army to the left rotating Sparta formation in an attempt to maintain a parallel state with the army of Thebes after the implementation of the spear attacks. But opponents ranging lined formation, “Holy Army” to launch an attack. Sparta did not expect that the military wing, and at a loss, sudden chaos formation was shocked too. At this time, Epaminondas command main line of attack. Is adjusting the deployment of the Spartan army is hard to suddenly be playing end to end, across the board collapse. Thebes army victorious pursuit, and annihilated more than 2,000 people, not only to protect national security, but also almost ended Sparta’s dominance in the Greek world (362 years BC, Thebes Epaminondas rate of the coalition in Mandiniya Sparta defeated the coalition campaign, once again, using the still “oblique battle formation”, Sparta completely defeated, but Epaminondas has died).
Eliminated by Alexander
“Holy Army” in World War I battle to stay Kete La fame, after 40 years, with Epaminondas created the “ramp-shaped battle formation” to “holy army” as the vanguard of the few defeat the army of Thebes. However, the “holy army” is ultimately not escape the doom, which also seems to be, because to eliminate it and Thebes are closely related, he is the king of Macedonia, Philip II, which is the famous father of Alexander the Great.
Philip II the age of 15 as a young prince, was taken hostage when Thebes, where he spent 3 years with the “holy army” had a long intimate contact, is well aware of this force tactics. Philip II, after returning to the throne, established a strong professional force, the rapid expansion of the intention of controlling the entire territory of Greece. Thebes and Athens against Macedonia in order to form an alliance.
338 BC, a decisive battle in the khaironia start. Start the campaign when there are natural barriers on both sides of Athens to protect coalition forces, can be said without flaws. But Philip II Guards led the first cavalry attack, and fight and then retire, effective mobilization of Athens Corps, it tightly hot pursuit, making the coalition flank exposed. Alexander then launched a deadly blow in the horn
Sound, he led his troops broke into the right square of Athens, Athens camp soon collapse. Then Alexander’s cavalry corps around to Thebes after the elite troops to hold the line “Holy Army” launched an offensive to wipe out all of these 300 people, and good morale of combat forces. In the face of enemy cavalry advantage, “holy army” without fear, for a difficult and flame until all died. “Holy Army” defeat, Athens coalition forces across the board retreat.
Described the Greek historian Plutarch: “The inspection of the battlefield after the victory of Philip II, he stopped before the bodies of 300 warriors, that each soldier has a fatal chest wound, every two body closely side by side, so that all of this is the famous composition by the love of the warrior “holy army”, he just could not tears, said: ‘No matter who they suspect these people are despicable behavior or experience , should be destroyed. ‘”
Khaironia battle three years later, due to the assassination of Alexander the Great mistakenly believed the rumors, Thebes revolted against Macedonia, the result Alexander insurgency, and destroy this city, Thebes, killing people is not being captured as slaves, Thebes no longer exists, “Holy Army” also disappear.

Analysis: aircraft carrier tasteless, why not build arsenals of the Chinese navy ship?
Personally think that the Navy aircraft carrier made a bit tasteless, China is a potential rival on the run, or too strong, causing the aircraft carrier is also a target feeling, not that the difference between carrier aircraft and technology, and the carrier battle group with the ships, we behind many others. Personal development that the Navy arsenal ship is a good choice. Has the following advantages
A fierce fire, according to U.S. Navy warships in the development of the 21st Century (SC-21) plan proposals, arsenal ship carrying at least 500 types of missiles. Very good air defense ship. China’s vertical launch technology inherited the Russian descent, more cumbersome, less the number expected, but also more substantial.
2 cheap, low cost arsenal ship, not with carrier aircraft, require the operator is also considerably less than the carrier. China can save a lot of money for research and development of more advanced submarines
3 few technical barriers to China’s major advantages of the present or in the missile area, the arsenal ship’s construction, the first carrier-based aircraft to skip the research these issues more easily and keep pace with the world advanced technology
Somehow, the feeling of the development of aircraft carriers some tasteless. After all, the naval way countries are progressing, so we thoroughly carrier technology, and others have been to space. Followed the development of the total worrying (ZT)
Japan says Chinese warships on muzzle Alignment machine, asked China to identify
Modern-class destroyers Kashtan gun is fired Map
Japan’s Jiji Press reported that 20 Chinese naval destroyer Su Shepao aimed at 13 to track the Chinese Navy, Japan Maritime Self Defense Force fleet of P-3C patrol aircraft. Reported that the Chinese navy’s behavior was “threatening behavior”, made the Japanese patrol aircraft in a “state at any time could be shot down” is “the former Soviet Union during the Cold War has not only taken Japan Jian Shi had such action”, the Japanese government is through diplomatic channels to negotiate with China.
Reported that the Japanese time at 15:30 on the on the 13th (14:30 Beijing Time) China’s naval fleet of destroyers Su Shebao targeting “is in accordance with international law for normal patrol flight,” the Japanese P-3C patrol aircraft. Chinese Navy spent a total of 2 Su Shebao targeting Japanese P-3C, and at any time fire status.
Japan’s Jiji Press commented that, even in the former Soviet Union during the Cold War did not have to take such action, the Chinese navy in the Pacific and Japanese coastal waters, on what to do? Japan must be carefully observed.
However, according to common knowledge, modern warships are generally used on the Su Shebao intercept anti-ship missiles at close range on, one can imagine the Japanese and Chinese warships patrol aircraft at a distance of nearly. Japan’s P-3C patrol aircraft is a powerful anti-ship anti-submarine platform, you can drop anti-submarine torpedoes, Harpoon anti-ship missiles and other airborne weapons.
Japan has a huge number of P-3C force, a strong anti-submarine capability. P-3C mission alone both, can also be used to support such as aircraft carriers, amphibious battle group like the friendly. Its mandate expanded to include the other side attacks, anti-submarine and mine-laying, reconnaissance and surveillance. P-3C weapons including the AGM-84 “Harpoon” anti-ship missiles, AGM-65 “Maverick” ground missiles, MK-46 torpedo. P-3C can also plug in the bomb bay and rack up to 9 tons of mine to bring.
Japanese Foreign Minister that the Chinese ships by the Japanese coastal waters beyond reproach
According to Kyodo, the Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada 21 in the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, said recently at the Japan-China summit in Washington talks did not involve Chinese ships in Japanese coastal waters in the matter. He said “There is no mention of this matter during the talks the Prime Minister Hatoyama Yukio and officials around the result of comprehensive consideration.”
Reported, Okada explained: “The Chinese ship by the Japanese coastal waters is allowed by law. Even (Japan) territorial sea is also possible, bearing in mind this is not to enter territorial waters.”
Including missile destroyers, submarines, warships, including 10 in China before the implementation of the East China Sea gas field in the vicinity of the ship-based helicopter training and passed the Okinotorishima offshore. Offshore activities may still be present.
J-15, China’s first aircraft carrier-based aircraft wing folding available
Data for: the spread of the network model of the Chinese carrier aircraft.
Central Evaluation Agency Beijing April 26 / Xinhua World Wide Web news: the West about China’s aircraft carrier and carrier aircraft guess newspapers are frequent, most recently, the “Chinese Defense Review” reported that China has already produced the first aircraft named “J -15 “and carrier-based fighter aircraft, is waiting for a flight test work.
Han and said that Western news that SAC in October last year, completed the first flight test aircraft type J -15 prototype production, starting from November the Shenyang Aircraft Factory was folded wing flaps and other experiments. Sources said that the plane was the pilot in the Soviet -33 basis T-10K aircraft from imitation, is awaiting test.
Han and articles mentioned in the Shenyang plant in the folding wings, shaped much like the prototype Su -33, some Western military attaches had been mistaken for those obtained from the Ukrainian T-10K aircraft
03 machine, however, Han and determined that the yellow skin of the aircraft and aircraft have used the “F -15″ name, but also from students in China, plans to test 2010. This is so quick to be able to copy the Soviet -33, due to China from the Ukraine was the Soviet Union and -33 prototype. “From several experimental situation, the technical wing folding problem has been solved.”
The article said that the current problem is that test. Traditionally, aircraft flight test should be carried out first in the factory, and is the Air Force test pilot plant origin, there has never been factory belongs to the Navy test pilot. Subsequently, the new fighter will be sent to a base Yanliang flight, so the Navy needs to build their own test centers and develop their own fighter test pilot. The Navy’s flight test center is under construction plans, so F -15 to test, is a problem.
Article concludes that China’s aircraft carrier will use the Chinese version of Su-do -33, the J-shape with the Soviet -33 -15 basic shape is very similar. The article mentioned that in four years ago, had been raised in the CAC on the basis of J -10 into double fighter aircraft as the future vision of China’s aircraft carrier, but has not been implemented.
Han and also speculated that the development speed of J -15 should be able to keep up with the aircraft carrier construction standards, such imports from Russia Soviet -33 questions are not necessary. And the carrier-based aircraft engine problems, the article referred to “Taihang” engine is an option, but the use and reliability in the material, and the United States and Russia still lagging behind.
Japanese intelligence analysis, said: People’s Liberation Army in the East China Sea suddenly latest mystery weapon test
Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun” reported that the Japanese Ministry of Defense Intelligence Division, said in late April last year, in the East China Sea to monitor the implementation of routine vigilance mission JMSDF P-3C maritime patrol aircraft found in the middle line of the East China Sea Japan Chinese side of the old Chinese Navy destroyer activities. Subsequently, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force P-3C maritime patrol aircraft, the old Navy destroyer to China’s continuous monitoring activities, and its activities carried out aerial photography.
New Year begins, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched patrol aircraft P-3C maritime found that, although the Chinese naval destroyer of old Japan-China median line do not cross the East China Sea, but several Chinese naval destroyer of old Japan-China median line along the north-south direction to and from the navigation, and also many sailing along the east-west direction.
Japan’s Defense Ministry, the Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the old Chinese Navy destroyer trajectory, while waves of Chinese naval intelligence intercepted and received information from the U.S. military conducted a comprehensive analysis. Japan’s defense ministry that Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the old Chinese Navy destroyer most likely is-the-horizon radar ship target test experiments. Japan’s Ministry of Defense Intelligence Division is investigating this case for further analysis.
Analysis of intelligence headquarters in Japan, China set up in the coastal areas of Zhejiang Province, the radar base may have been converted into-the-horizon radar, through the Japan-China median line in the vicinity of the navigation of the old destroyers to test Chinese-made goals to capture over-the-horizon capacity and ability of the target image to explain.
Launch of the radar wave OTH radar beam for the longer wavelength, it can detect targets thousands of kilometers from the sea. In view of-the-horizon radar, with the performance of the Japanese Self-Defense Force had considered Kikai Island in Kagoshima Prefecture, the intelligence headquarters within the set-the-horizon radar, radar station, but later from the United States as Japan can get acquired by a military reconnaissance satellite intelligence, the Japanese Self-Defense Force was dispelled in Kikai Island, the idea of setting-the-horizon radar.
Japan before the Japanese Society Web site contains the text that the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force fleet plans to build the largest warships – a displacement of up to 19,500 tons of “helicopter destroyers”, which aims to build the ships against the increasingly powerful Chinese navy.
As China and Japan, to upgrade weapons and equipment, both in the East China Sea are increasingly upgrading the level of military confrontation. Can be said is the world’s high-tech weapons and equipment against high level.
Represents enormous with the same carrier
“Chongqing Evening News” report, the report said Japan plans to build a helicopter destroyer of 248 meters, displacement of 19,500 tons, can transport 14 helicopters, 4,000 personnel and 50 trucks. The ship can also supply fuel to other ships. Its function has been no different with the small aircraft carrier.
According to reports, in March 2008, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force out of the new equipment “on the” No. helicopter destroyer. The captain of the 197 meters, 33 meters wide, is the maximum level of MSDF ships, but the new type of helicopter destroyer, once completed, will take away the title.
Against the East China Sea “war”
Report noted that the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer major component is the four teams, each fleet has eight destroyers and eight helicopters. This is a confrontation during the Cold War to patrol the waters near Japan and the Soviet submarine deployment. However, in recent years, the Chinese navy to enhance maritime strike capability, and China has been carrying cruise missiles, advanced destroyers in the East China Sea gas fields near the patrol. Japan into a new helicopter destroyer, will strengthen its waters in the East China Sea and so the ability to respond to emergencies.
