After a brief exchange with a large group of various second-generation people in Europe, Yang Weiping asked Hughes Field to arrange a private meeting with Uday.

Such an honor can make the second generation of Europeans envious and jealous. They are asking each other who this Arab boy is and what his origin is. can make Yang Da Feng value it so much.

Naturally, Uday was also a little overwhelmed with excitement, and even stayed in this private reception room belonging to Hughes Field for more than three minutes before calming down.

Hussein Uday of this era is obviously still very young and immature in the eyes of Yang Weiping.

Leaning on the European-style leather sofa with a calm expression, Yang Weiping had a faint smile on his face, quietly looking at the eldest son of Saddam Hussein who was standing about one meter five in front of him, and kept thinking in his mind whether such a handsome and dashing Arab young man was really the same person as the cruel, cold-blooded, absurd and evil Uday rumored in later generations?

Yang Weiping didn't know much about the rumors about Saddam's eldest son Uda in later generations, and it was basically a text introduction from the Internet media. However, today's real person in Uday, Yang Weiping feels that his first impression of the Iraqi prince in front of him is not bad.

As early as six years ago, after Yang Weiping learned that the Field family had various investment businesses in Iran and Iraq, he greeted Hughes Field, asking him to pay a little attention to the two sons of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein when he had free time, and if he had the opportunity, he could consider establishing and maintaining a certain personal friendship with them.

With Theseus Field's understanding of Yang Weiping, he knew that since Yang Weiping said so, he must have his intentions. With this guiding ideology in mind, Hughes Fielder made a slight move. He got in touch with Uday, who had an almost obsessive love for European racing, and became good friends two years later.

Before the start of the Iran-Iraq war, Yang Weiping told Hughes Phil to invest a large amount of money in the international oil futures market together with Uday. This not only allowed Yang Weiping and Hughes Field to make a lot of money in the oil futures market, but also allowed Uday, who was played with them, to earn the largest amount of money in his life.

After that, Uday obeyed Hughes Field. Started to invest in industrial plants in Basra governorate, Iraq. And through the relationship of the Guòfield family, Uday has become the largest arms supplier in Iraq, and has won praise from Iraqi military generals.

Perhaps because of more contact with Hughes Field, Uday gradually learned to pay attention to gentlemanly demeanor, pay attention to high-profile things and low-key people, so that his personal personality that has not been completely qualitative has changed a lot. It made his father, President Saddam, more and more optimistic about this eldest son.

Seeing that Uday gradually became calm and calm, Yang Weiping nodded with a smile of approval, leaned over and opened the box of Cohiba cigars from Cuba on the coffee table, known as the king of Cuban cigars, and took out one and put it on the end of his nose. closed his eyes and sniffed, and then sighed with emotion: "Or their European aristocrats know how to enjoy, this kind of Cohiba cigar deserves to be called the king of Cuban cigars, the smoke is a good smoke, but unfortunately it is too expensive, if you smoke a box every day, you really can't afford to smoke it!"

Uday couldn't help but feel embarrassed when he heard this. The heart said, is there still a luxury in this world that you Yang Da Yuan can't afford?

As we all know, Cuban cigars have long since ceased to be just a fragrance. It's a culture and art. From material selection, planting, management, harvesting, to drying, processing, manufacturing, packaging. Each procedure is very strict and requires skilled skills to ensure quality, just like a chain, any link that goes wrong will affect the overall situation.

Cohiba cigars are the most popular choice of cigar aficionados around the world today with their immaculate style. It is the leader of various cigar brands in the world. If the Cohiba cigar had to give it a special meaning, it would undoubtedly represent dignity and courage, indomitable, resistant, uncompromising, and a symbol of the iron spirit of Cuba's supreme leader, Castro.

The most valuable thing about a Cohiba cigar is not its price, but that money may not be able to buy it. But that wasn't much to Uday. You can get a few boxes of favors at any time. However, Uday quickly figured out that Yang Weiping's words just now should have some kind of meaning.

It seems that anyone with a Cohiba cigar in their hand is not an idle person. They are not only noble and elegant, but also mature and full of courage, ignoring every obstacle on the path of their life, and their hearts are the highest state of the human spirit.

That's right! Yang Weiping is borrowing a Cohiba cigar to tell me that the key to life is courage! Life is meaningful because of courage! Just imagine, if a flower does not even have the courage to bloom, then can it be regarded as a flower? Courage can support life. Without courage, what can we do to face the causes of life? Without courage, we will only be lightly knocked down by setbacks, and without courage, there will be no beautiful victory.

Seeing a solemn expression on Uday's face, Yang Weiping couldn't help but secretly praise this kid for being a talent.

After a moment of silence, Yang Weiping suddenly opened his mouth and asked, "What is your highest ideal?" ”

How could Führer Yang call me a classmate of Uday? Could it be that Führer Yang intends to accept me as his student?

Allah! If Uday could become a student of Yang Fuhrer, it would be wonderful!

Uday calmed his excited heart a little, and replied solemnly and solemnly: "I want to restore the glory of the Babylonian Empire!

This kid wants me to be his teacher? Yang Weiping obviously glanced at Wuday with some surprise.

Accepting Uday as a student seems to be a bit convenient for dealing with Saddam, the Iraqi president known as the madman of Baghdad, in the future.

"It's not easy to be a student. Yang Weiping shook his head with a smile on the ground and said: "Many royal families in Europe hope that someone in their younger generation will worship me as a teacher, but I haven't promised anyone yet. Uday, if you can prove that you are better than them, perhaps, I can consider giving you a chance to be put to my test. ”

"Teacher, Uday is willing to accept any test from you!" said Uday with great firmness.

"You said earlier that your highest ideal is to restore the glory of the Babylonian Emperor. Yang Weiping did not correct Wuday's honorific title of "teacher" just now. Roasting back and forth on the Cohiba cigar wrapper with a special long-handled match, "Can you tell me what you have done for this ideal?"

"I ......," Uda stopped talking, obviously not knowing where to start.

"Your homeland is now in a full-scale war with Iran. Yang Weiping picked up a cigar cutter and cut off a cigarette butt. Raising his eyes to look at Uday, he asked very sternly: "If Iraq cannot win this war, let alone revive the Babylonian Empire, can it maintain its existing territorial integrity and prevent the Iranians from destroying the country and destroying the species, as the eldest son of President Saddam, have you fulfilled your obligations and responsibilities for this war that is related to the life and death of the motherland?"

"I served in the reserve militia division for half a year......" Uday replied in a low voice, bowing his head.

"I'm not saying that you're going to be at the forefront of the battlefield like a normal warrior. Yang Weiping struck another match to light the cigar, took two puffs, and shook the flame of the match out. "I want to know, have you done a comprehensive analysis and study of the ongoing war based on the position of the next heir to the president of Iraq?"

"My father is in very good health now, and if he wants to take his place, he will have to wait at least twenty, or even thirty years......" Uday muttered in a low voice.

"So, you think it's your father's war. It has nothing to do with you and your younger brother, Hussein Qusay, right?" Yang Weiping asked, looking at Uday with a smirk.

"I've been working on my own. Provide the armed forces with various types of advanced weapons and equipment and logistical materials. Uday replied very seriously: "I would also like to have an army to go to the front to fight the Iranians, but my father has always disagreed. ”

"Do you think that modern warfare can win victory with modern weapons and equipment?" Yang Weiping gently dusted the cigar ash in the ashtray, stared into Uday's eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

This guy Wudai seemed to be suddenly blessed to his heart, and bowed deeply to Yang Weiping. Sincerely, he said, "Please teach me!"

"Huge sums of money can buy modern weapons and equipment, but not the modern level of the army. Yang Weiping sighed and stretched out his hand to signal Udai to sit down, and sighed: "You and I are a bit fateful, and I will share with you today some of my research experience on the ongoing Iran-Iraq war." ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Uday's butt was not yet hot, and he quickly got up and bowed to Yang Weiping.

"With the continuous development of modern military science and technology. No matter what country imports advanced foreign weaponry, it must first consider integrating it with its own actual conditions. Yang Weiping puffed out the blue smoke lightly and said slowly: "Iraq and Iran are both economically rich oil exporters in the Middle East, and since 1973, the two countries have spent hundreds of billions of dollars to import a large number of advanced weapons and equipment from abroad.

However, due to the weak industrial bases of the two countries, many parts and accessories for advanced weapons cannot be repaired at home, and ammunition is mainly supplied from abroad. In addition, the literacy of the soldiers in the armies of the two countries is very low, and it is quite difficult to master well such Soviet-made 'Sam', British-made 'Light Saber', and 'Hawk' air-to-air missiles as well as to bring into play the true performance of advanced weapons and equipment such as the T72 tank, the Tiger II tank, and the MiG-23, F14, and FC-1 Thunder fighters.

In a local war under the conditions of modernization, it is true that we should attach importance to a quick and quick solution, but at the same time, we should also be mentally prepared for a long-term war. In the early days of the war, Iraq adopted a surprise lightning operation aimed at achieving a quick victory, and indeed achieved certain results. However, because you have bet entirely on this point of war and lack the ideological and material preparations for a long-term war, once the intention of a quick battle is crushed by the other side, you will be unable to support it and will gradually turn from active to passive. Iran, with the advantage of its large number of people, adopted a strategy of 'protracted war', so Iran turned defeat into victory and advanced the battlefield from Iran to Iraq.

In modern local wars, the main goal should still be to annihilate the enemy's strength, and we should not be too entangled in the gains and losses of one city and one place. From the outbreak of the war on September 22, 1980 to the present, almost all battles have been offensive and defensive battles aimed at towns and cities, and both sides are satisfied with the superficial victory of attacking cities and grabbing land, while ignoring the focus of annihilating a large number of enemy living forces. ”

Seeing that Wuday took out his mobile phone and used the phone's built-in recording function to record all the words just now, Yang Weiping didn't mind anything, and after taking two puffs of cigarettes, he continued: "In modern warfare, the loss of weapons, equipment and materials is very large, which undoubtedly raises new issues for logistics and supply work. Although the Iran-Iraq war is not yet a high-level modern war, the war attrition is unique among the local wars that have taken place in the world since the end of World War II.

My people once counted that at the beginning of the war, for example, Iraq fired more than 46,000 shells at a town of less than 1,000 households like Schillingburg. The armies of the two countries are mainly armored and mechanized troops, and the fuel consumption is extremely high, and the Iraqi army consumes about 2,000 to 3,000 tons of fuel every day.

After withstanding the offensive of the Iraqi army, Iran also delayed the counteroffensive because of supply difficulties. After turning to a counteroffensive, Iran launched several ground offensives against Iraq, but the interval between the two battles was relatively long, sometimes as long as more than five months. The root cause of this is that because the logistics system is chaotic and the supply of weapons and equipment and other combat materials cannot keep up, the ability to sustain combat operations has been severely affected. ”

"Teacher, do you think we can win this war in the end?" Uday looked at Yang Weiping with blank eyes and asked weakly.

"If I want you to win, you will win!" Yang Weiping looked at Wuday meaningfully and smiled.

Uday looked at Yang Weiping in a daze, and suddenly knelt down on his knees, throwing his body to the ground, as if a devout Islamic believer was worshipping the true heart of Ala, praying and praying: "Please ask the teacher to help us, please ask the teacher to help us, please ask the teacher to help us......"

"Get up!" Yang Weiping got up and walked over to help Uday up from the ground, and after sitting down again, he smiled very kindly: "Uday, if I don't plan to help Iraq, I won't let Hughes Field bring you to meet me." Actually, your father, President Saddam Hussein, and I have been friends for a long time, but we just didn't have the opportunity to meet and talk. (To be continued......)
