　　Mobile display of the latest Russian T-90C main battle tank wearing a new camouflage system [data photo]

　　Russian Deputy Defense Minister makarov told Russian media on the 22nd that Russia is testing a tank with excellent performance, and the test work will end next year, and the army will be produced and equipped in 2009.

　　Ten years ahead of the west

　　Makarov said that the combat performance of this new type of tank is better than that of all types of tanks at home and abroad, and its running device, driving device, fire control system, weapon, target identification and reconnaissance system are all new.

　　The analysis pointed out that Russia’s new tank is most likely the T-95 speculated by the outside world. As early as the mid-1980s, the former Soviet Union started the development plan of the fourth-generation main battle tank T-95, but it stopped for various reasons. This new tank weighs 50 tons, and its length and width are basically the same as those of T-72 and T-80. It has absorbed many advantages of active tanks and given more special properties, which has far exceeded the new main battle tank being developed in the United States. It is said that it will take at least 10 years for the west to catch up.

　　The fourth generation of new modeling

　　According to the data, the firepower is one of the biggest advantages of the T-95. In addition to the comprehensive strike fire system, its gun-launched missiles can penetrate 1200 mm thick armor at a long distance, and the hit rate is guaranteed to be above 80%. The T-95 has a maximum off-road speed of 85km/h and is equipped with an intelligent suspension device, which doubles the off-road speed and improves the stability by 10 times.

　　In terms of protective measures, T-95 adopts all-titanium alloy modular armor with high strength and good toughness, so that the resistance can reach or exceed 1500 mm thick steel plate. Different from the previous Russian tanks, the T-95 broke the tradition and adopted the unmanned turret design, and its automation degree was obviously improved. The tank crew will be reduced to two, namely the captain and the driver (and mechanic). It pays attention to the ergonomic design, the cockpit is completely separated from the combat cabin with armor plates, the chair is comfortable, the cabin activity space is more spacious than other tanks, and the fatigue factor caused by narrow space is reduced.

　　In addition, the T-95 is equipped with the most modern radio equipment. With its low profile, powerful artillery, advanced protection and anti-dust measures, T-95 can have an advantage in the confrontation with any modern tank.

　　Russia stepped up its armament.

　　Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his State of the Union address in April this year that Russia must continue to strengthen its armed forces, and Russia has begun to implement the national weapons and equipment plan for 2007-2015, most of which should be used to purchase new weapons and military technology and equipment in bulk. According to Russian media reports, Russia’s defense budget in 2007 was 822 billion rubles (US$ 1 is about 25 rubles), which means that Russia urgently needs weapons and equipment, most of which will be used to update naval weapons and equipment, at least 50% of which will be used for submarine forces.

　　Military industrial complex is the success of Russian defense industry, which has high technology and innovative vitality, and employs tens of thousands of people. In 2005, Russia’s weapons and equipment have been exported to 61 countries, with a total export value exceeding $6 billion.

　　[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Helicopters hover in the air, police cars whistle to clear the way, and the intersections leading to the EU headquarters and NATO headquarters are covered with roadblocks and heavily guarded. On the morning of the 24th, when the reporter of Global Times in Brussels went to work by subway, he heard many passengers complain: when the President of the United States came, it would be unsafe here. US President Biden, who arrived in Brussels on the evening of 23rd local time, attended three major summits here on 24th, namely, the NATO Special Summit, the Group of Seven (G7) Summit and the EU Summit. The joint statement issued after the NATO summit on 24th threw a "bombshell" at Russia, including continuing to provide military assistance to Ukraine and establishing four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The statement also put pressure on China by name, demanding that "all countries, including China," "not support Russia’s war efforts in any way, and avoid taking any action that will help Russia evade sanctions.". "The Ukrainian crisis has brought the naive foreign policy of the United States into the spotlight." Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post commented on the 24th that Washington decided to deal with two powerful rivals at the same time. "This is an ominous sign full of danger."

　　"Give us one percent!"

　　"NATO, G7 and the European Union held an unprecedented summit on the same day." At 10 am local time on the 24th, the NATO special summit was held first. According to CNN, Ukrainian President Zelensky delivered a speech at the summit via video link. A senior US official who attended the closed-door summit said that Zelensky did not call for the establishment of a "no-fly zone" as usual or asked NATO to accept Ukraine, but asked the West to provide new security assistance. In his speech, Biden expounded the coordinated western sanctions against Russia and reiterated his strong support for Ukraine. Later, Zelensky called on NATO to "give us one percent of all your fighters" on Facebook. Give us one percent of all your tanks. Give us one percent! "

　　After the meeting, NATO issued a joint statement by NATO heads of state and government in official website, "condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in the strongest terms", calling on Putin to immediately stop military operations and withdraw troops from Ukraine, and calling on Belarus to "end its conspiracy". The statement said that Russia’s use of chemical and biological weapons was "unacceptable" and warned that it would "lead to serious consequences". The statement also said that NATO allies will continue to provide assistance to Ukraine in the fields of cyber security and prevention of chemical and biological weapons and nuclear threats.

　　On March 24th, US President Biden and French President Macron took a group photo at the special NATO summit in Brussels.

　　Earlier, Moscow had refuted the suggestion that Russia might "use chemical and biological weapons" in its military operations against Ukraine. On the 22nd, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov stressed at a press conference that Russia would use nuclear weapons only when "the survival of the country is threatened".

　　The NATO statement also stated that 40,000 soldiers and a large number of air and sea assets have been deployed in the east wing of NATO, and announced the establishment of four new battle groups in Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Germany’s "Focus" magazine said on the 24th that NATO will send another 5,000 soldiers to these four countries. Washington post said that these NATO countries are surrounded by Ukraine and the Black Sea, which is very close to the current military conflict.

　　The statement also called on all countries, including China, "not to support Russia’s war efforts in any way, and to avoid taking any actions that will help Russia evade sanctions", saying that it was "worried about the recent public comments made by China officials". In addition, NATO countries also promised in their statements to substantially increase defense spending.

　　After lunch on the 24th, the G7 held an emergency meeting, focusing on coordinating its position on increasing economic sanctions against Russia. Before the meeting, CNN said that Britain would announce a "new major military support package" for Ukraine at the NATO special summit and the G7 summit. Downing Street said on the 23rd that the aid plan will include 6,000 missiles, including anti-tank and high-explosive weapons, and 25 million pounds of financial support. This will double the "defensive lethal weapons" aid provided by Britain to Ukraine so far. Britain has provided more than 4,000 anti-tank weapons to Ukraine before, and the British government will also provide bulletproof vests, helmets and combat boots to Ukraine.

　　According to the published schedule, Biden will arrive at the European Council Building at 16: 30 local time on the 24th to attend the EU Summit. He is the first American president to attend the EU summit in person. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, British Prime Minister Johnson and Japanese Prime Minister kishida fumio also flew to Brussels to attend the G7 summit, but they were not invited to attend the EU summit. It is reported that Biden will focus on discussing Europe’s energy strategy with EU leaders, with a view to reaching an agreement to reduce the EU’s "excessive dependence on Russian natural gas" and turn to the United States to buy more liquefied natural gas.

　　At 20: 00 local time on 24th (3: 00 am Beijing time on 25th), Biden plans to hold a press conference at NATO headquarters.

　　Sanctions against Russia will "fall disproportionately on Europe"

　　The "EU News" website commented on the 24th: "Biden’s trip may expose serious differences between the United States and Europe in further imposing energy sanctions on Russia." According to the Financial Times reported on the 24th, Belgian Prime Minister Decroo said on the 23rd that imposing sanctions on Russian energy exports would make the EU "fight a self-war — — This is not the goal. " German Chancellor Angela Scholz also said on 23rd that the immediate reduction of energy imports from Russia would mean that "our country and Europe as a whole are in recession". Reuters said on the 24th that the dollar rose and the euro fell as Biden went to Europe with a plan to further sanction Russia. "Capital seems to be saying that I don’t want to go to Europe", a market analyst told Reuters that the new round of sanctions will hit the West "disproportionately on Europe".

　　Hendrick Voss, an EU defense expert at Ghent University in Belgium, expressed his concern about sanctions to the Global Times reporter on the 24th. "Which sanctions will continue to exist and which will be temporary? What relations with Russia will be terminated? After all, the war will not last forever, and NATO will have to consider what to do after the war. "

　　"Biden arrived in Brussels, but the member States were torn apart about how to deter Russia." Washington post reported on 24th that there were differences between NATO and Washington on how to prevent the Kremlin from escalating its military actions. NATO leaders are discussing whether to let Russia guess what will trigger NATO’s greater military response, or to accurately frame under what circumstances NATO will be involved in the conflict. On the 23rd, Stoltenberg still insisted that NATO should not send troops: "We are determined to make every effort to support Ukraine, but we have the responsibility to ensure that this war will not escalate beyond Ukraine and will not become a conflict between NATO and Russia."

　　Brussels is the first stop of Biden’s trip to Europe. Biden will go to Warsaw on the morning of 25th to emphasize his support for his partners in Eastern Europe. He will meet with Polish President Duda and give a speech to American soldiers stationed in Poland.

　　"Side by side with Europe", German TV 1 said on the 24th that Biden’s attendance at the three summits within 12 hours sent a signal that the United States stood on the side of Europe and tried to maintain the current great unity. However, observers pointed out that this meeting will not make the challenges left by the Russian-Ukrainian conflict disappear. The United States will hold mid-term elections at the end of the year, and Biden’s Democratic Party may lose its majority in Congress. In Europe, countries pay more attention to Ukrainian refugees, lack of energy, soaring prices and other issues. "The West cannot solve various problems brought about by the Russian-Ukrainian crisis alone."

　　There is a "feel good atmosphere" in Washington.

　　According to the Russian News Agency reported on the 24th, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Kuleba said in an interview with Spanish media that it is increasingly difficult for EU countries to reach an agreement on new sanctions against Russia due to the situation in Ukraine. He also said that Ukrainians are disappointed with NATO.

　　The Wall Street Journal said on the 24th that Biden’s visit came at a time when the Russian Foreign Ministry warned that the relationship between Moscow and Washington was "on the verge of rupture". According to US officials, Biden will announce new sanctions on more than 300 members of the Russian State Duma and more than 40 Russian military enterprises as soon as possible on the 24th. These sanctions will be announced in coordination with EU and G7 members. On 23rd, US Secretary of State Blinken issued a statement saying that the US government officially declared that Russian troops had "committed war crimes" in Ukraine.

　　German "Focus" magazine said on 24th that the G7 meeting will especially warn countries that may try to help Russia evade western sanctions, "You may face sanctions, which is especially applicable to China". Stoltenberg also warned China "not to support the Russian war in Ukraine" on 23rd. He said, "China has provided political support to Russia, including spreading blatant lies and false information."

　　Russia’s Kommersant newspaper said on the 24th that Biden’s trip to Europe will be the most challenging foreign policy task during his stay in the White House, and he will try to maintain his ability to be a leader in the western world. During the three summits, Biden faced an arduous task: convincing his allies that the US strategy towards Ukraine and Russia is "correct", but in fact, American allies have increasingly begun to doubt the route they chose in the Ukrainian conflict. Baczuk, an expert on American issues at the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that while facing increasing risks, the West has yet to find "a way to make Russia change its actions".

　　US Democratic Senator Murphy told the Financial Times on the 24th: "This is not the time for Biden to act hastily." He also said that managing a military conflict is a tricky thing. Hong Kong’s "South China Morning Post" said on the 24th that there was a good feeling in Washington, and they believed that they "could benefit from Putin’s wrong actions". Of course, capital flight to the United States is a common windfall. But what will happen if both Russia and China expose "American bluffing"? In the United States, income inequality, racial tension and political polarization are increasing. Washington has been trying to "postpone the domestic collapse" by showing an aggressive posture in the international arena. Now, the new governments of France and Germany are promoting the "strategic autonomy" of the European continent. Beijing is not prepared to give up Moscow, but Washington has decided to deal with two powerful rivals of China and Russia at the same time. This is an "ominous sign full of danger".

Recently, Mercedes-Benz officially announced that Beijing Mercedes-Benz domestic EQE model will be officially launched on August 24th. Beijing Benz EQE is also the first joint venture brand luxury medium and large pure electric car officially launched in China. It is reported that the new car has been pre-sold: the pre-sale price is 530,000 yuan, 550,000 yuan and 590,000 yuan respectively. In terms of positioning, it is also equivalent to the size of Mercedes-Benz E-Class long wheelbase. In terms of power, it will be equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 215kW, and the maximum cruising range of CLTC will reach 752km.

EVA platform to create the appearance of "small EQS"?

As the first pure electric car produced in China based on EVA platform, firstly, in terms of appearance, EQE inherits the design style of EQS, the fully enclosed front grille is integrated with the headlights on both sides, and the headlights are irregularly designed, which has good recognition. In addition, in order to please young consumers, the front enclosure of the new car has adopted a sharper design, and the three-stage cooling opening shape is also in line with the aesthetic feeling of young people for sports.

On the side of the car body, the consistent elegance and stretch of Mercedes-Benz models are undoubtedly revealed at this EQE. Without the "bondage" of gasoline engines, the whole side of the new car is more like a "spaceship", and in terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4969mm/1906mm/1509mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 3120 mm. Except for the length of the car, other dimensions are ahead of the E-class long wheelbase, but the design of the sliding back may sacrifice part of the overhead space in the car.

The penetrating taillights, "duckling tail" and rear bumper are decorated with diffusers instead of the visual effect of exhaust, which makes the whole tail more integrated and echoes the design of the front.

The interior looks like the cash S-class. Continue to follow the "nightclub style"?

As one of the "interior killers", Mercedes-Benz has always been very good at rendering the atmosphere inside the car and showing luxury. It is also reflected in this EQE: large-area wood grain or special texture panel decoration, embracing center console surface, through air conditioning outlet, blue and white interior color matching symbolizing new energy, exquisite door panel decoration and other details are not absent, even "exactly the same" as the new S-class.

However, it is a pity that none of the three models made in China this time have Hyperscreen three-screen linkage system, and at present, they do not support optional installation, which may be because they hope to control the cost and open the gap with the imported version EQS, while the new car will be equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and a 12.8-inch vertical suspended central control panel. Even so, the overall interior is not inferior in terms of luxury and technology.

In addition, according to the previously published interior official map, the domestic EQE will also inherit the "nightclub style" of other family models in the atmosphere light, and according to speculation, this atmosphere light will not only surround the central control, the body and the door handle, but even be arranged in the seat part.

The rear drive single motor has a battery life of 752km.

The three electric systems of Mercedes-Benz EQE are all produced by Beijing Benz. The first three 350 models are single-motor rear-drive versions, and are equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors with a maximum power of 215kW and a peak torque of 530 N m. The capacity of NCM811 battery pack is 96.1kWh, and the officially announced maximum cruising range of CLTC can reach 752km.

Write at the end:

For the new energy market, domestic models have already been laid out, and the performance of previous EQA, EQC and other models is flat. Whether the upcoming Beijing Benz EQE can break through the sales of Mercedes-Benz in the new energy market by relying on its excellent interior atmosphere, excellent chassis adjustment and brand blessing. We will wait and see how EQE will perform in the future.

　　Passat is a front-wheel drive car driven by water cooling. "passat" originally means the name of a monsoon, which blows evenly and steadily from the southern Atlantic Ocean to the equator every year, persisting and persistent. Like its name, almost all passat’s water-drop shape makes people feel unparalleled fluency. Since it was first marketed in 1974, it has achieved great success in Europe. The brand-new Passat produced in 1999 is even more popular in the world. After six generations of development, the global sales volume has reached 11.3 million. Let’s take you back to the glorious history of Passat series.

　　The first generation Passat: Dasher(1973 ~1980)

　　
Passat Dasher

　　In 1973, the first generation Passat: Dasher was born, which replaced the original 1600 series and landed in North America. At that time, the highest-end model was called Passat TS, which was equipped with a 1.5-liter 85-horsepower four-cylinder engine and adopted a front-wheel drive mode. 0-100 km/h takes only 12 seconds, the top speed can reach 169 km/h, and 4.55 liters of oil can travel 38 kilometers, which was considered fuel-efficient at that time.

　　In the autumn of 1977, Dasher introduced a big change, especially the valve seat of the engine was strengthened, so that it could use unleaded gasoline fuel.

　　Passat B2.Quantum/Santana (1980 ~1988)

Passat B2:Santana

　　In 1980, the second-generation Passat B2.Quantum/Santana replaced Dasher, which was longer, wider and had more interior space than the previous generation. There are four engines to choose from, including a 1.6-liter diesel engine, 1.3-liter and 1.6-liter four-cylinder engines, and a top-class 115-horsepower five-cylinder engine.

　　In China, the cars produced became the main models in the early China automobile market.

　　Passat B3 (1988 ~1995)

Passat B3

　　In 1988, Volkswagen introduced the third generation Passat (B3) to the world. There is no front air intake grille, which is the most prominent feature in its appearance. Passat B3 is equipped with a 2.0-liter 16-valve engine, with 134 horsepower and 180 Nm of torque. It takes nearly 10 seconds for 0-100 km/h, and the top speed can reach 201 km/h.. Although B3 has some unique configurations, such as adjustable rear seats, compared with its Japanese and American rivals, its sales volume is still unsatisfactory.

　　In 1991, Volkswagen’s first Passat equipped with V6 engine rolled off the assembly line. A maximum of 172 horsepower can accelerate B3 from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 8 seconds.

　　In 1996, Shanghai Volkswagen and Brazil Volkswagen jointly developed Santana 2000 based on B3 and Santana 3000 developed by Shanghai Volkswagen on the basis of Santana 2000.

Passat B4

　　In 1995, Volkswagen redesigned Passat and introduced Passat B4 series. Standard configuration includes a 2.0-liter 8-valve four-cylinder engine. The GLX model still uses a 2.8-liter engine. The former takes about 10 seconds to accelerate at 0-100 km/h, while the latter can be completed in 8 seconds. Another surprise is that B4 installed seat belts for drivers and passengers in the front row. But also restores the sense of movement. The standard configuration of B4 includes: power window, locking mechanism, electric heating rearview mirror, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner.

　　Passat B4 was briefly produced by, and Chinese people basically became familiar with Passat series from this car.

　　Passat B5(1996 ~2005)

Passat B5

　　Passat B5′ s basic GLS is powered by a 1.8-liter engine. Soon Volkswagen introduced GLX and GLS V6 models that matched the 30-valve V6 engine. B5 uses the same platform technology as A6, and even the engine shares 1.8T I4 and V6 30V models with Audi. The front suspension adopts multi-link mode, and the rear suspension uses torsion beam, which effectively reduces. B5 standard configuration includes driver and front passenger airbags, side airbags, power windows, electric rearview mirrors, FM/AM cassette player, 8 speakers and CFC air conditioner. , electrically heated seat, 5-speed Tiptronic is optional. Volkswagen’s unique four-wheel drive technology has been adopted in GLX and GLS V6 models matching V6 30 valve engines.

　　In 1999, Volkswagen introduced Passat with red and blue background lights. It used a 1.8-liter engine with a 5-speed transmission, which was powerful and could produce 190-200 horsepower at most.

　　In 2000, Passat B5 produced by Shanghai Volkswagen was officially put into China market, which was newly developed according to China’s laws and regulations, road conditions and China users’ aesthetic tendency and use requirements. The prototype B5 was lengthened by 77mm, and its spacious figure made Passat more suitable for the domestic commercial vehicle market. Become a high-end product in domestic cars. And in 2006-2007, B5 was further improved, and some unnecessary configurations were subtracted while it was deeply localized, and this time it was transformed into B5 FMK internally. Shanghai Volkswagen greatly improved Passat B5 and adopted an alias: Lingyu. It is also nicknamed Passat B5.5. The internal name of Volkswagen is B5GP. Later, in order to meet the requirements of CNCAP, the seat belt configuration was specially optimized. The front co-pilot added a seat belt reminder function, and both the main co-pilot and the co-pilot provided the passenger perception function and used it as the input to confirm the airbag explosion together with the seat belt wearing signal. Now the new field of Shanghai Volkswagen PASSAT is also a derivative model based on this platform.

　　Passat B6 (2005 ~2011)

　　In 2005, Passat B6 was put on the market, and Volkswagen changed Passat’s sedate modeling concept since ancient times, and appropriately added sports elements. In 2006, Passat B6 was officially listed overseas. The production of FAW-Volkswagen in China is called Magotan. In 2007, China version of Passat B6— — Magotan is put on the market.

Passat B7

　　Volkswagen’s new generation Passat (Passat B7) will officially land in the China market in July 2011.

Martial arts drama, as an important type of domestic drama, has always had an unshakable position. It has gone through glorious historical years and has been sought after by the audience. However, around 2015, the ancient dolls and Xianxia were in full swing, and the martial arts dramas lingered at the crossroads. Not only did the output drop sharply, but the rivers and lakes were also slightly silent. Some people even assert that "the martial arts are declining, and the rivers and lakes are no longer."

Until last year, with the launch of "Knife in the Snow", it triggered a heated discussion and once again aroused the audience’s dream of martial arts. This year, new martial arts dramas such as "Young Songs", "Shadow of Mountains and Rivers" and "Biography of Yunxiang" have been launched one after another, and the theme of martial arts has gradually warmed up, which has rekindled expectations. But how should the new martial arts develop? It is still a problem worthy of consideration by the industry.

Speaking of martial arts films, many people’s first reaction is the film and television dramas adapted from novels by Jin, Gu, Liang and Wen. In the 1980s, the martial arts literature works of Hong Kong and Taiwan adapted for film and television just happened to catch up with the golden age of TVB, and TVB martial arts dramas mushroomed on the screen. After 2000, although there was some controversy at that time, Zhang Jizhong, a mainland producer, filmed Dragon Eight Parts and the legendary swordsman, but it was also recognized by everyone with the passage of time.

However, with the development of technology, the martial arts drama relies too much on slow motion, editing and body double, which has caused the audience to vomit widely. The cool play has changed from fancy tricks to slow motion plus body double. In the past, actors who had no martial arts foundation wanted to "don’t make a fool of oneself" in front of the camera, they had to train martial arts at least two or three months in advance.

The CCTV version of "Water Margin" was filmed for three years before and after, and it took more than half a month to play for more than ten minutes. The elegant appearance of the little dragon girl in the 03 version of "The Condor Heroes" lasted five nights. But now, adequate shooting cycle is more like a luxury for most film and television projects.

In addition, compared with artists with martial arts skills, the lack of experienced and unique martial arts guidance is even more difficult, which is also an important reason for the convergence of martial arts dramas in recent years. Exquisite movements are one of the core elements of martial arts. However, with the aging of the martial arts guidance of Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Yuan Kui and other golden generations, the development of martial arts seems to face a "dating crisis" with no successors.

An excellent Wushu finger should not only have martial arts skills, but also know how to present the lens in film and television. From the aspects of conception, design, shooting, mirror operation and editing, he has repeatedly deliberated and pondered, and finally presented a classic action scene. In the past, Wuzhi basically started as a martial arts actor. After more than ten years of study and accumulated experience in the crew, it can grow into a martial arts finger. In recent years, many Wuzhi have been a martial arts actor for several years and have no idea about the camera, let alone designing different actions for different roles.

Most importantly, the loss of chivalrous spirit, the subsequent remake of the martial arts drama even actively avoided the point of "martial arts", which not only made no achievements in "martial arts", but also made it more difficult for the characters in the drama to support the role charm of "chivalry". In casting, he began to idolize, and the plot also focused more on emotional drama. It gives people a sense of "dimensionality reduction", so the reputation of these works has collapsed like a cliff.

The traditional martial arts drama seems to have reached a dead end, and it can no longer afford a wave.

With the lessons from the failure of the remake, some capital began to change. Since we can’t revive the classic martial arts, and we can’t "play ancient dolls in the cloak of martial arts", the creators began to try to improve and innovate, and several small-scale new martial arts dramas came into being. They adapted to the times and evolved into more specific chivalrous spirit of young people, which attracted attention to a certain extent.

For example, the plot case of "I don’t know about Xia Jian" is similar to that of Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng, and we can also see the familiar Jianghu feelings. It has also built a brand-new Jianghu system: the magical valley of the sect responsible for investigating cases, the institution recording the history of Jianghu, the first killer organization with both light and dark, and the detective who collects the truth … which makes people feel familiar and fresh.

"Songs for Teenagers" combines many elements, such as teenagers, blood, martial arts, etc. At the beginning of shooting, the concept of "new martial arts" was put forward, and with the "sense of teenagers" as the core, the play showed the growth process of young people by means of group portraits, reflecting the growth issues faced by every teenager.

The Legend of Yunxiang is not a typical traditional martial arts. In blood shed’s Jianghu stories, complex elements such as commercial warfare and revenge are incorporated. The hero does not appear as a hero with unparalleled martial arts, but walks in the Jianghu with strategies. The heroine and a group of supporting actors are responsible for the martial arts "martial arts" part, which makes the martial arts type drama more interesting.

Shadow of Mountains and Rivers not only continues the style of the film Embroidered Spring Knife, but also adds multiple elements and points of view. The two leading actors are funny and humorous, and the other is calm and restrained. In order to pursue points of view, the drama also increases the scenes of court and spy war, and combines court tactics with martial arts.

These dramas can also represent the direction of "new martial arts" at this stage.

First, the new rivers and lakes are the epitome of society, and the new rivers and lakes will be the symbol of contemporary society. The new martial arts will inject modern rich and colorful multiculturalism into the martial arts world, expand the territory for martial arts culture, adapt to the spiritual needs of the new era, and be tolerant.

Second, the new chivalry focuses on letting the hero fight with himself. Martial arts is no longer the main line of character growth, but more respected the realization of individual value, pursuing freedom, realizing oneself and showing unique personality in the growth of rivers and lakes.

Third, "martial arts+",the traditional martial arts is not easy to break through, but the mix of elements can make the martial arts drama produce new variations and new flavors. By exploring new possibilities, martial arts dramas have produced wonderful chemical reactions by integrating other theme types, thus having more possibilities.

Change is a difficult road. Although the changes made by the new martial arts have improved, it is still unknown whether they can restore their former style. However, what is certain is that with the changes of the times, the audience’s demand for martial arts works is different, and martial arts have a chance to seek novelty and change.

The creators are also thinking about how to integrate more fresh elements into the martial arts, and find the real new martial arts works. This year, there are more than a dozen new martial arts to be broadcast. For example, "Lotus House" combines martial arts with suspense detective stories to make up for the gap in the creation of suspense detective stories. In addition, the protagonist’s CP-free highlights are also very fresh to meet the needs of different groups. "One Mind for Eternity" upgrades the traditional martial arts and adds elements such as fantasy, comedy and growth. "One Mind to Pass the Mountain" is a story of "being a great man, serving the country and the people", which is from being affectionate to the righteousness of the home country.

Everyone has a dream of martial arts, and the new generation also has their dream of martial arts. If you want to do a good job in the new martial arts, you should actively face the current challenges, grasp the key of cultural upgrading in the new era, and grasp the unchangeable core of chivalry. Besides paying attention to the unique and peculiar martial arts design, you should pay more attention to the shaping of characters’ personalities and the laying out of drama plots. For the country and the people, being independent and uninhibited are all great men of chivalry.

While affirming the chivalrous man’s pleasure, drawing out a sword to help him, distinguishing between good and evil, opposing between good and evil, and serving the country and the people, he also advocates diversified and relative chivalrous values. In terms of aesthetic style, he can not only retain the charm of the rivers and lakes, but also improve himself with the technology of the new era, so as to carry out better self-innovation.

Any type of film and television works has its peaks and valleys, but martial arts dramas always have a certain market and audience base. At present, the new martial arts are still in the process of exploration and development, and it will take time to change. If there is a very excellent new martial arts benchmark work in the future, the whole market will move with it, thus promoting the further development of this type, just like the once-popular Gongdou drama and suspense drama. I believe that at that time, the new martial arts was "the top of the legendary swordsman".

　　Editor’s note: April 23rd is the Navy Memorial Day of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. From the fishermen’s small wooden boats crossing the river in those days to the modern fleet of the blue ocean today, the people’s navy has grown from scratch and from weak to strong. So, where was the People’s Navy born? What kind of process did it go through when it was established? What memories and history are still preserved today?

　　Another Navy Memorial Day is coming. Walking into the Memorial Hall of the Birthplace of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy, we can find the answer here … …

　　Taizhou Baima Temple

　　Witness the birth of the People’s Navy.

　　A historical record of Zhang Zhengui is displayed in the exhibition hall of the memorial hall, which shows the reply of the Central Military Commission on the date of the establishment of the navy in 1989: "It is agreed that the date of the establishment of the navy of the East China Military Region on April 23, 1949 is the date of the establishment of the navy of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army."

　　This is where it all started. On January 8, 1949, the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference put forward: "In 1949 and 1950, we should strive to form an operational air force and a navy to defend the coastal areas along the river." At the beginning of that year, the Central Military Commission handed over the important task of forming the People’s Navy to the Third Field Army. In late March, Chen Yi, commander of the Third Field Army, conveyed the decision of the Central Military Commission on the establishment of the People’s Navy to Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the Central China Military Region and member of the Third Field Committee, and instructed him to be responsible for the establishment of the People’s Navy.

　　At the beginning of April, Taizhou Baima Temple became the headquarters of Sanye, with Su Yu, deputy commander and second deputy political commissar of Sanye, and Zhang zhen, chief of staff, leading his troops. "The geographical location here is good, not far from the Yangtze River, which is convenient for the command and flexible dispatch of troops in the battle of crossing the river; At the same time, as an old liberated area, it has a good mass base and convenient transportation. " Wang Mingzhe, a researcher at the memorial hall, said that the headquarters of the Third Field Army Crossing the River was located in the reading building of Wang Jinghu, a large local family. Zhang Aiping rushed to Baima Temple overnight. Under the leadership of Su Yu, he actively participated in the investigation, research and planning of preparing for the establishment of the navy, and began all the preparations for the formation of the People’s Navy.

　　On April 20th, the battle of crossing the river started. On the 23rd, the main force of Sanye crossed the river successfully, and the 35th Army of the 8th Corps of Sanye liberated Nanjing. On the same day, the Central Military Commission sent an urgent telegram to Sanye: immediately set up a navy, named the Navy of the East China Military Region of the China People’s Liberation Army. At 1: 30 pm, Zhang Aiping called 13 people, including Li Jin, deputy chief of staff of the 84th Division of the 28th Army, in the conference room on the second floor of Baimamiao Reading Building to hold the inaugural meeting of the East China Military Region Navy.

　　In this way, the first unit of the People’s Navy was proclaimed. The White Horse Temple thus became the birthplace of the navy and was written in history.

　　Hundreds of cultural relics

　　Show the development process from scratch

　　The former site of the headquarters of the third field army crossing the river has been preserved for many years. In 1989, the reading building and hall house were officially opened to the public after renovation. In 2006, the former site was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

　　Today, in six exhibition rooms in four exhibition areas of the former site, rich pictures and detailed words tell the story of the victory of the East Line Group under the command of Sanye Command. The reading building in the former courtyard has a history of more than 130 years. On the second floor of the reading building, the scene of the conference room of the Sanye River Crossing Campaign Command Center is reproduced; Downstairs, the bedrooms and offices of Su Yu, Zhang zhen and Zhang Aiping have been restored, and Chen Zhan has more than 50 physical objects such as carved wooden couches, wooden boxes and coffee tables that the generals have used.

　　About 500 meters west of the former site of the birthplace of the navy, it is the memorial hall (new hall) of the birthplace of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy. It was completed and opened in April 1999, the 50th anniversary of the birth of the People’s Navy. From a distance, it looks like a huge warship sailing in the sea. On the memorial square, there are more than 20 pieces of navy decommissioning equipment, such as fighter planes, helicopters, mines, radars, missiles and naval guns.

　　Enter the exhibition hall from the square through a "gangway". The exhibition area, full of naval elements, consists of five parts: Modern Vicissitudes, Building a White Horse, Powerful Seas, Developing and Growing, and Deep Fish and Water, showing the development process of the People’s Navy from scratch and from weak to strong. More than 300 precious literature and history materials are convenient for the audience to browse and flip through with the help of rear projection TV and touch screen.

　　Wooden boat before crossing the river

　　Reproduce the history of military and civilian fighting side by side

　　The "treasure of the town hall" in the memorial hall is a special wooden boat before crossing the river. From the bullet holes and the traces of cork blocking the eyes covered with it, it is not difficult to imagine the scene when the people braved the bullets to support the liberation army to cross the river.

　　This wooden boat before crossing the river, which was unanimously evaluated as a national first-class revolutionary cultural relic by the expert group, was used by the father of Zhou Dehong, a fisherman in Yonganzhou Town, gaogang district, Taizhou, and was collected into the museum in 1999 when the memorial hall was built.

　　Zhou Dehong’s father made a living by fishing in Yonganzhou on the Yangtze River, which coincided with the People’s Liberation Army collecting ships and preparing to cross the Yangtze River. Zhou Dehong’s father took the lead in responding and modified his fishing boat to cross the river. After taking the initiative to donate, Zhou’s fishing boat and other collecting vessels moored in Jiajiang, Yonganzhou, along the Yangtze River for short-term training. Later, Zhou Fu paddled the boat and took part in the work before crossing the river. After the victory of crossing the river, this wooden boat has been repaired many times and has been used as a fishing boat by Zhou family.

　　"At that time, the People’s Liberation Army almost relied on this wooden fishing boat to cross the Yangtze River. Many unknown boatmen were also behind-the-scenes heroes of this battle, reflecting the history of the military and civilians fighting side by side." Yang Development, director of the memorial office, said.

　　Rapid upgrading of naval equipment

　　The second aircraft carrier

　　The aircraft carrier was developed by China itself. On April 26, 2017, the main hull of the aircraft carrier was completed, and the main system equipment such as power and electricity were installed in place, and the launching ceremony was held in Dalian. This indicates that China’s independent design and construction of aircraft carriers has achieved significant stage results. From rebuilding to building an aircraft carrier independently, it shows that China has fully mastered the relevant technology and management experience of aircraft carriers.

　　New 10,000-ton destroyer

　　This type of ship is completely independently developed by China, equipped with new air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, and has strong information perception, air defense and anti-missile and sea attack capabilities. It is a landmark warship for the navy to achieve strategic transformation and development. On June 28, 2017, the ship was launched in Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd., which marked a new step in the development of destroyers in China.

　　New integrated supply ship

　　This ship is a new type of comprehensive supply ship independently developed by China with the world advanced level, which can provide maritime accompanying supply for our naval aircraft carrier formation and offshore mobile formation. The first ship, Hulun Lake Ship (Ship No.965), was listed on September 1, 2017. The entry of the ship laid a more solid equipment foundation for naval vessels to go deep blue, marking the naval ocean support capability jumping to a new level.

　　Other equipment

　　Since March 21, 2014, new guided missile destroyers such as Kunming Ship, Hefei Ship and Xining Ship have been listed one after another, which has enhanced the regional air defense and sea strike capability of the surface combat vessels formation; Since January 31, 2013, new guided missile destroyers such as Changchun Ship, Zhengzhou Ship and Xi ‘an Ship have been in service successively. Because of their excellent regional air defense and over-the-horizon strike capability, they have been praised as "China Aegis" by military fans.

　　In addition, carrier-based fighters were delivered in batches, early warning aircraft and carrier-based helicopters were added to the family, and the people’s navy team grew stronger.

Recently, Deep Blue G318, the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Auto, was officially launched, which quickly attracted the attention of consumers. According to the official data of Deep Blue Auto, the order of Deep Blue G318 exceeded 10,000 in 70 hours and reached 14,126 in 5 days.

This order data is hot. You should know that the dark blue G318 is a smaller off-road SUV, and it is remarkable to get such an order.

Deep blue car isAs a holding subsidiary, Deep Blue brand is positioned in the mid-range new energy vehicle market.Before G318, Deep Blue Automobile had successively launched the middle-class car Deep Blue SL03 and the middle-class SUV Deep Blue S7, but neither of these two models became the explosion of monthly sales exceeding 10,000.

How long can consumers’ enthusiasm for paying for the hot G318 this time? Can it help Deep Blue achieve sales breakthrough?

Extended-range off-road SUV, starting at less than 180 thousand

A few years ago, when the concept of new consumption was hot, some founders shouted that "all industries are worth doing again". In the new energy vehicle market in recent years, the phenomenon that "all models are worth doing again with hybrid (including extended range)" is happening.

In addition to A00 and A0 class cars below 100,000 yuan, which are still pure electric home, there are hybrid and extended-range models with excellent market performance in the automobile market of 100,000-500,000 yuan. Even the niche off-road SUV track has begun to appear frequently with hybrid and extended-range vehicles.

For example, Equation Panther 5, Tank 400, Tank 500, Tank 700 and Haval Raptors all have hybrid models, and looking up at U8, Polar Stone 01 and Warrior 917 are all extended-range models.

The recently launched Deep Blue G318 is also an extended-range off-road SUV, with an order volume exceeding 14,000 units within 5 days.

Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, which was officially launched on June 13th. The car has launched a total of six models, and the price range of three two-wheel drive models is 17.59-19.99 million yuan. Among the three four-wheel drive models, the four-wheel drive comfort version and the four-wheel drive suspension version are priced at 199,900 yuan and 229,900 yuan respectively; The top-of-the-line worry-free version is priced at 318,000 yuan, and the pre-sale is expected to start in early 2025.

The dark blue G318 model is positioned as a hard-core SUV with a tough appearance. In terms of power, it is equipped with the super extended range 2.0 system under the new Blue Whale power platform, which consists of a 1.5T range finder and a high-performance motor, and the fuel consumption of power feed is as low as 6.1L/100km. The battery capacity of the entry-level two-drive standard version is small, and the pure electric cruising range (under CLTC working condition) is 77km, so it does not have fast charging function. Other models have a pure electric cruising range of 172km-190km, with fast charging function.

Among the five scheduled start-up models, three two-wheel drive models focus on daily mode. The two four-wheel drive models are mainly off-road, with terrain modes such as wading, snow, rugged terrain, mud and sand. They can turn around in situ and crawl off-road. They are equipped with a special central stepless differential lock for off-road, a magnetic mechanical differential lock for rear axle and a wading radar, with a 1.6T qualification towing hook. Except for the entry-level two-wheel drive standard version, all other models have V2V fast discharge function.

In terms of intelligent driving, all five models have L2-level auxiliary driving function, which can realize speed limit recognition, lane keeping assistance, AEB automatic emergency braking and other functions, among which two-wheel drive suspension and four-wheel drive suspension are higher in configuration, with blind spot monitoring, lane changing assistance, reversing lateral emergency braking and other functions.

After the launch of this off-road SUV in deep blue, the order performance is very hot. Can this hard-core off-road SUV drive the sales of deep blue cars to increase?

"Dark Horse" dark blue car, sales go high and low.

With the accelerated transformation in recent years, three smart electric brands, Aouita, Deep Blue Auto and Changan Qiyuan, have been formed under the Changan Automobile System. Among them, Aouita focuses on the high-end market, by Changan Automobile,Cooperate with Huawei. Deep Blue Automobile is a holding subsidiary of Changan Automobile, focusing on the mid-to-high-end market and targeting younger groups. Changan Qiyuan belongs to a brand-new product sequence of Changan Automobile, which is aimed at more mainstream consumers.

As you can see,Deep blue automobile is responsible for the high-end transformation of Changan Automobile. However, since the first car went on the market, the sales of deep blue cars have appeared "high opening and low going".

Deep Blue Automobile was established in April 2022. Three months later, the first strategic model SL03 was released. The entry-level extended-range model was priced at 168,900 yuan, and the entry-level pure electric model was priced at 183,900 yuan. After 33 minutes of listing, the order exceeded 10,000 yuan.In December, 2022, Deep Blue Auto delivered over 10,000 yuan in a single month, which was the fastest electric vehicle brand to deliver over 10,000 yuan, and became a "dark horse in the new energy automobile industry".

Under the strong performance of Deep Blue SL03, Deep Blue Auto has set a sales target of 400,000 vehicles for 2023. However, after entering 2023, the sales volume of Deep Blue SL03 began to decline, and the delivery volume in May 2023 was 7021 vehicles.

On June 25th, 2023, the second strategic model S7 of Deep Blue was launched. With the help of the two models, the sales performance of Deep Blue brand in the second half of 2023 was excellent, and the delivery peak of 18,338 vehicles was created in December.However, throughout 2023, the dark blue brand delivered a total of 136,900 vehicles, only completing one-third of the sales target.

At the end of 2023, the CEO of Deep Blue Automobile announced that the global sales target of Deep Blue Team in 2024 was set at 450,000 vehicles. But then, Changan Automobile announced the sales target of the group, and finally set the annual sales target of Deep Blue Automobile at 280,000 vehicles.

In 2024, the overall delivery volume of Deep Blue brand declined. In the first five months, 67,200 vehicles were delivered, only about 24% of the sales target was achieved.

In the past three months, the retail sales of Deep Blue SL03 were 4,311, 4,524 and 5,303 respectively, and the retail sales of Deep Blue S7 were 5,705, 5,492 and 5,977 respectively. In the sales rankings of medium-sized cars and medium-sized SUVs, the two models of Deep Blue SL03 and Deep Blue S7 are both ranked around 15th.

In the past two years, Deep Blue has suffered a large loss. According to Changan Automobile Annual Report, in 2022, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile, formerly known as Chongqing Changan New Energy Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., was 15.678 billion yuan and its net profit was-3.197 billion yuan. In 2023, the revenue of Deep Blue Automobile increased to 25.883 billion yuan and the net profit was-2.999 billion yuan.In two years, the accumulated loss of Deep Blue Automobile exceeded 6 billion yuan.

Hard-core cross-country, is Deep Blue on the right track?

Deep blue G318 orders are hot, largely because of its high cost performance.

Generally speaking, off-road vehicles need larger ones.Therefore, fuel vehicles are often used, and even diesel is chosen as the power type. However, the high fuel consumption brought by high power, at the same time, most off-road SUV consumers are not heavy off-road enthusiasts, and the use scenarios are mostly daily mode. "Light off-road" and "urban off-road" are more common, so the fuel consumption performance of off-road SUVs is even more important.

According to the official information of Deep Blue, the fuel consumption of Deep Blue G318 per 100 kilometers is 6L, while the fuel consumption of Equation Leopard 5, Haval Raptor and Tank 400 all exceeds 7L.

In addition, due to the larger size and the load-bearing body, the interior space of the dark blue G318 is larger, and the trunk space reaches 818L. At the same time, with non-loaded body and air suspension, Deep Blue G318 is more comfortable in driving and rear row.

However, although the orders for Deep Blue G318 are hot, it is equally challenging to drive Deep Blue to achieve its sales target.

On the one hand, off-road SUV itself is a smaller track, and the market volume is difficult to compare with mainstream models.In March-May this year, the sales volume of Jietu travelers with the best performance of off-road SUVs were 9219, 10049 and 6819 respectively. For example, the sales of star models such as Tank 300 and Haval Dog are only around 5,000-6,000, and the sales of other off-road SUV models are mostly below 4,000.

In this case, the ceiling faced by Deep Blue G318 itself is not high, and it remains to be seen whether it can drive the sales of Deep Blue cars to make a big breakthrough.

On the other hand, Deep Blue G318 is the first off-road SUV of Deep Blue Automobile, and it is also the only off-road SUV of Changan Automobile at present, and its actual competitiveness still needs market verification.At the same time, although Deep Blue G318 has certain advantages, at the price of 100,000-200,000 yuan, G318 still needs to deal with fuel vehicles such as Jetway Traveler, Tank 300 and Haval Dog, as well as new energy vehicles such as iCAR03, Jetway Shanhai T2 and Haval Raptors, and the difficulty of seizing the market can be imagined.

At present, although Deep Blue has failed to continue its high-gloss performance when it was first listed, it has gained a firm foothold in the automobile industry with its superior shape design and strong cost performance. The current deep blue car needs an explosive model to further open its popularity. Whether the deep blue G318 can undertake this important task still needs market verification.
