Chapter 242: A Mysterious Tactic from the East

The Afghan War was a war that was not well-known but extremely important in the world pattern, at the end of 79, the former Soviet Union relied on its mechanized corps to invade Afghanistan strongly, and completed the occupation of Afghanistan in less than a month. But then, the four major hooligans of the United States, Britain, France, and China joined forces with the Arab world to dig a hole for the former Soviet Union in Afghanistan, and dragged this war that should have ended easily into a protracted war that lasted for ten years.

It may be a small battle for a superpower, but the duration of ten years is a huge burden for any country, and eventually the former Soviet Union was exhausted here, and the already unscientific economy collapsed because of this war, so many historians also see the war in Afghanistan as a cause for the collapse of the former Soviet Union.

"The fact that Afghanistan relied on guerrilla warfare to bring down a superpower is a testament to the success of this strategy, despite the mountainous terrain of Afghanistan!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing: "So, if we can successfully replicate this strategy on the battlefield in Iraq in the future, then we will also receive the same effect, but this time our goal will be transferred from one country to a consortium, but originally this war was provoked by this consortium, so it may not be unacceptable for them to bear more military spending, isn't it?"

Listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, Edward and Louis were shocked, although they originally understood that Zhou Ming's idea was very wild, and they also imagined what kind of solution Zhou Ming would propose, but it was all in Brighton, at most a California consortium, but they never expected Zhou Ming to directly expand the plan to the Middle East.

What kind of brain is this!

Edward and Louis couldn't imagine how with a person like Zhou Ming, he could have connected these things together.

Of course, if it is reasonable, there is really no reason for the Rockefeller consortium to spend tens of billions of dollars to help the Addams family solve the problem of the collapse of the CDS market, you must know that even for a consortium, tens of billions is a lot of expenses, although it is impossible to break the bones, but who does not know that it can be saved? Moreover, Brighton is simply the "family matter" of the Brighton consortium, why does he have to get involved?

Unless the Rockefeller family and the Addams family are now engaged in a huge cooperation project, at this critical time, the Rockefeller family does not want the Addams family to be played to death by an inconsequential CDS market, so he must give the Addams family a hard blood transfusion no matter what.

Now, looking at the whole world, the only one who can give them such a chance to cooperate is the Middle East, where war is on the verge of breaking out.

It seems to make sense to think about it this way, but this is all based on Zhou Ming's words and reasoning backwards, I am afraid that only Zhou Ming can think of this in advance and dare to think so far. Not to mention that Zhou Ming dared to come up with such a way to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and directly start in the Middle East.

Edward and Louis themselves usually claim to be smart people, but at this time, even if they are in the Brighton consortium, they know about the cooperation between Adams and Rockefeller, but they can't think of this way.

At this time, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be surprised, the question now is whether we have a way to make the two families of Adams and Rockefeller pay more military expenses for this war?"

Still Edward happily answered Zhou Ming's question: "It's very simple, we just need to discuss with other families in private, and I believe that they themselves are not willing to pay huge military expenses for a war to defend Rockefeller's oil interests." Then in the case that other consortia are unwilling to share the military spending, this war must be fought, and the military budget can only be paid by the two major families who have profited. ”

Edward became a little hesitant when he said this: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, please forgive me, your idea is good, but you seem to have overlooked a very important terrain problem......

"Mr. Governor, are you trying to say that Afghanistan is mountainous, while most of Iraq is desert and plains, at least if the US military attacks from the direction of Saudi Arabia and Syria, all the way is the Gobi and plains at an altitude of less than 100 meters, so the guerrillas cannot hide and effectively block the US troops, right?" Zhou Ming asked after Edward's words.

Edward nodded stunned, and Zhou Ming then said, "I think you must have never heard of the Plains Guerrillas, Mr. Governor. ”

Edward and Louie's eyes widened, obviously they had never heard such a title at all, there was no way, Zhou Ming had to give them a science popularization: "The so-called plain guerrillas, as the name suggests, are the general name of the guerrillas who are active in the rear of the enemy on the plain battlefield, they usually hide among the people, but whenever there is a task, they immediately incarnate as superheroes to climb the train and blow up the bridge, like a sharp knife in the heart of the enemy forever." ”

"I can believe that the US military can quickly gain air supremacy in Iraq by relying on high-tech and sophisticated weapons, and can unscrupulously carry out uninterrupted long-range strikes against all military targets in Iraq, but you can't blow up the whole of Iraq into ruins, and in the end you always have to send troops over city by city to occupy and eliminate hostile forces. ”

Zhou Ming continued: "Of course, what I said about great magic is not that the guerrillas can fight each other with tanks and artillery when they are protected by Allah, but that they can use roadside bombs or sudden sneak attacks to achieve the purpose of effectively killing and injuring enemy soldiers. ”

"Although this tactic cannot prevent the U.S. military from eventually advancing to Baghdad as long as the U.S. military commander is truly determined, it can effectively delay the U.S. offensive and prolong the war indefinitely, and even if the U.S. military occupies Baghdad in the end, as long as Iraq does not surrender, through this tactic, the war can still be dragged on until our goal is achieved. Zhou Ming said.

Edward and Louis were shocked again, and Edward muttered, "This ...... Is it a mysterious tactic from the East? It's incredible!"

As important figures in the Kendini and Lowell families, in order to exercise their strategic vision, the family sent them to study at the military academy, and even communicated with a certain general about a certain battle, so they all have a certain understanding of war.

However, it was precisely in this way that Zhou Ming's words had a huge impact on them, because their previous concept was to keep the enemy out of the country, which was equivalent to guarding a house, locking the gate, and blocking the enemy from the door;

Shouldn't one side attack and the other defend in war? How can the defending side give up defense and let the enemy in? However, it seems that this method is indeed a good way to turn defense into offense and turn the passivity of defense into the initiative of attack.

With this in mind, Edward and Louis understood for the first time the reason why the family had stipulated that they should go to a military academy for further study: it turned out that a good businessman could really become a good strategic commander!

Zhou Ming was very helpless about Edward and Louis's surprise, you must know that guerrilla tactics are understood in every country, and it is not an incomprehensible tactic to let the enemy in to fight, but in the eyes of Westerners who are born with brains and lack of circuits, this is very magical, and it can only be said that it is the difference between Eastern and Western concepts.

"Judging by your attitude, I think you have accepted my idea, and then it remains only for us to convince Mr. Saddam Hussein to accept our proposal, because if he surrenders soon because of the defeat at the front, then our preparations will really be in vain. Zhou Ming said.

"I think if we can get in touch with him, he'll be okay with it, after all, he's the emperor of that country. Edward was stunned.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "The emperor is also divided into hard and weak, I don't think he has the courage and determination." ”

In his memory, the Iraqi war maniac was bombed indiscriminately by the US military on the front line, and he announced his unconditional surrender only a hundred hours after the ground troops began to land, so Zhou Ming did not believe him at all.

Edward and Louis slowly recovered from their previous shock, and they looked at each other, but Edward asked, "But what can we do to give him the courage and determination?"

Faced with this question, Zhou Ming once again threw out an answer that made them stunned: "I'll go to Baghdad in person, let me convince him, do you have this channel?"

......

When Edward and Louis were shocked by Zhou Ming again and again in the private dining room of San Francisco's Saint-Na, far away in Brighton, on the east coast, Christo was reprimanding Robert in his study.

"My son, things have come to this point, aren't you still satisfied, do you have to ruin this family?" said Christo.

Robert smiled disdainfully at this: "Mr. Christo, I think you got the wrong object, now that things have evolved to this situation, it is obviously your own problem, it is you who can't compare to Zhou Ming, which will cause the current situation, but you actually want to try to put all the blame on my head, it seems that you are still the same as before, a disgusting coward!"

"I really feel so sorry for my child, and if I could, I wouldn't have bothered with your business anymore!" Christo said.

"So you regret it, don't you?" Robert was even more disdainful, "Then Mr. Christo, I advise you to find that Zhou Ming quickly, kneel in front of him and beg him to let you go, maybe this will turn things around, maybe he won't trouble us anymore!"

Leaving Christo with that, Robert walked out of his study without any other care, while Christo sat down in his chair tiredly.

At this time, Christo's cell phone rang suddenly, and Christo picked it up, and soon there was a sarcasm on the other side of the phone: "Hey, little Adams, are you still worried about Edward and Louis going to San Francisco? ”

Christo frowned, and said very dissatisfied: "Carl, I hope you can be more respectful of me, and I don't want you to look down on that Zhou Ming, because he will bring us miracles, although I don't know what kind of way he will use." ”

"Yes? I think you must have forgotten that you are not alone now, we are now an alliance of Adams and Rockefeller, even if the president can't do anything about us, a Chinese, what else can he do?" Karl said very disdainfully, "so I think you should stay away from that little witch, look, she is going to turn you into a timid woman!"

"I hope you will pay attention to my words and also to that Chinese, otherwise you will pay a heavy price for your contempt." Christo said.

"Then I have to hope that the price will be heavier. Carl said with a smile.
