Innovation is the soul of a country's development and progress, and also the soul of an army's development and progress. Reform, innovation and keeping pace with the times are the broad road for the continuous development of the people's army. The strength of the people's army comes from reform and innovation, and the victory of the people's army comes from reform and innovation. Innovation is development, and innovation is the future. The military field is the most competitive and confrontational field, and it is also the field with the most innovative vitality and the most innovative spirit. Throughout the history of military reform in the world, every step of reform is driven by innovation. The major leap in national defense and military construction has never been separated from the strong support of innovation. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, President Xi Jinping has focused on designing and shaping the future of our military, put forward the strategy of reform and strengthening the military, led the most extensive and profound national defense and military reform since the founding of the People's Republic of China, reconstructed the leadership and command system, the modern military force system, and the military policy system, and demarcated the appearance of the military of a large country and a powerful country. President Xi stressed: "We should carefully summarize and apply the successful experience of reform, grasp the new situation and task requirements, focus on preparing for war, be brave in pioneering and innovation, do a solid job in implementing the established reform tasks, strengthen the follow-up reform planning, strive to create a new situation of reform and building a strong military, and provide a strong impetus for achieving the centenary goal of building the military." Only reformers advance, only innovators are strong, and only reform and innovators win. At present, reform and building a strong military are at the key point of connecting the past and the future. Problems in development and problems after development, general and deep-seated contradictions, tasks to be completed and newly proposed tasks are intertwined and complicated, and we need to solve them through reform. As long as we uphold the ambition to be the first, the courage to face difficulties, and the spirit of reform, focus on reform objectives, bold innovation, and unremitting efforts, the people's army will achieve a new leap on the road to building a strong military with Chinese characteristics.
