** I can't help but be moved, Fang Mingyuan's remarks can be said to clearly expound his judgment on the situation in the Gulf in complete vernacular. Although it is very simple, these three reasons can fully support his argument. In this world, wars between nations can almost be described in two words - as long as there are enough interests, it is not surprising that the British will immediately come to a civil war

If these words were said by political commissar Lu Liang, he would only smile heartily, and the political commissar once again thought of going with him. But when a teenager who is not yet an underage speaks, it's completely different. When I learned that Iraq had invaded Kuwait and that the United States had sent troops to the Middle East, I had pondered for quite a long time before I came to such a conclusion. Well, ** admits that during that time, he was still struggling to raise funds and save expenses, and he didn't have a lot of time to think about the situation in the Middle East every day, but after all, he was a professional soldier and a general, and he could see those internal references that ordinary people couldn't see at all, and he could know a lot of military secrets that were not known to ordinary people. If you don't have these materials as a reference, do you dare to make such a judgment?

Especially the third one that Fang Mingyuan said, it simply said that it went to the heart of **. As a general guarding the frontier and coastal defense, he attaches great importance to the military intelligence of Japan and the Americans. He also knows more or less about the sophisticated weapons that the Americans have developed but have not yet been tested in actual combat.

As Fang Mingyuan said, the United States went to war with Iraq, and this war can be said to have many benefits for Americans. Not only can weapons and ammunition that are about to be scrapped be legally thrown into the heads of Iraqis and huge costs of destruction can be avoided, but they can also openly experiment with new types of weapons, stimulate the production of domestic military industrial enterprises, and occupy a larger share of the Shijie arms market for weapons produced by the United States. As soon as the cannon sounded, the gold was ten thousand taels

As a soldier, there is nothing to be proud of when he thinks of this, but a teenager, how did he come to such a judgment? Could it be that this teenager not only has an amazing talent in business, but also has a talent that ordinary people cannot match in the face of the complex international situation? Thinking of this, ** Fang Mingyuan's interest is even greater.

Looking at the eyes that were shining with strange light, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little furious in his heart, he couldn't help but think back to everything he had just said, and he didn't seem to say anything terrible. The reason why he said this is also to give a wake-up call, if he can use the mouth of the first to make the top leaders in China realize the great military and economic significance of this upcoming Gulf War, so as to take precautions, then it would be better.

Although he doesn't think that the think-tank personnel fed by the state are all corpses and vegetarian meals, he can't see the importance of this, and he doesn't think that among the millions of soldiers in the country, there are no far-sighted and far-reaching people, but in his previous life, he has experienced too many thunderous words from "brick families" and "beasts", and he is already disgusted with the sanctimony of these elites. So I still want to go around the corner to Xiangshang layer to wake up.

It's just that these words are not suitable for Su Huandong, after all, he is not a soldier, and it is taboo for soldiers to interfere in politics, and irrelevant government personnel are also unpopular with the military. As for the Lu, Mei, and Chai families, the big guys who can really talk to the military, he hasn't met them yet, so for now, ** is quite appropriate.

As long as we look at him, in the face of such a tight military budget, he still does everything possible to ensure the training of the army, we can understand that this is a qualified soldier who is always vigilant against foreign enemies, and as a member of the navy, even if not the youngest, he is a very young general, his future can be said to be bright, and if he can make suggestions to the upper echelons of the navy and even to the Ministry of Defense, it must be more weighty than saying it himself.

"How? Are you interested in applying for a military academy in the future, becoming a glorious soldier, galloping on this sea, and defending the motherland's maritime frontier? "**Solemnly authentic.

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan opened his mouth in surprise, how could such a sentence suddenly come out.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's surprised appearance, ** realized that what he said might not be appropriate. Judging from the news he knew, Fang Mingyuan is probably the core personnel of the newly rising Fang family, among these members of the Fang family, the two old men don't seem to be in charge of things, Fang Mingyuan's parents have always been in the small town called Haizhuang, only his second uncle and younger uncle are in the family business, but one is a deputy in the Carrefour supermarket, and the other is in Hong Kong to help Yu Qiuxuan. He asked him to give up the family property and become a soldier, even if he agreed, his family would never agree. If it doesn't work, it will make the other members of the Fang family dissatisfied with him.

"Joke, joke" ** hurriedly haha. God knows how long this situation of military spending tightening will last, so it is still very important to have a good relationship with the Fang family. At least in the past few years, he has begged his grandfather to sue his grandmother, and the funds he got from going around to make fortunes are less than a quarter of the Fang family's loan this time.

The two of them stood at the bow of the boat like this, chatting casually, and the topic of the two was naturally inseparable from the development of Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay and the situation in the Middle East. **The more he chatted, the more frightened he was, he was not good at this business thing, he couldn't say a thing from the southeast and northwest, out of the trust of the other party's business talent, he didn't care too much about the possibility of future development failure of these two bays. But he is a professional about the situation in the Middle East and the future direction of the war.

Listening to Fang Mingyuan's speculation about future wars, combined with the military intelligence he could see, he felt more and more that it would be a pity if Fang Mingyuan was not a soldier in the future.

In the middle of the ship, Qi Yan was leaning on the railing and staring at the two people talking and laughing at the bow of the ship.

"Sister Qi, what are you standing here looking at?" Luo Dongwu said a little strangely, there is nothing worth paying attention to here. And Qi Yan is not like Fang Mingyuan, they have never been on a warship, and they are curious about everything they look at.

"Tobu, how did you say that little ghost Fang family was educated? How can you talk to Commander Zhao about such an opportunity? Qi Yan nodded in the direction of the bow of the ship. Only then did Luo Dongwu notice the two people standing at the bow of the ship. I couldn't help but be taken aback.

Qi Yan knows very well in his heart, don't look at ** has always been polite to himself, but in essence, he doesn't like himself, thinking that he is engaged in smuggling, digging the country's wall footing, and destroying the country's normal market order. However, it is because he came on behalf of the Northwest Military Region, and the current shortage of military spending in the army is a practical problem that no one can deny, and the northwest region is located in an underdeveloped region of China, where the military is engaged in business, and it does not get much profit from the localities. And it is also more measured to smuggle by yourself, like those commodities that are strictly prohibited by the country, although the profits are extremely high, and you have not touched your hands. That's why I turned a blind eye to what I did. But that doesn't mean he has a good opinion of himself.

This time, Tuo Fang Mingyuan's blessing, as a matchmaker, she was treated much better here by ** and Lu Liang.

But compared with Fang Mingyuan, Qi Yan felt that she had failed to the extreme, this was just a few meetings, and Fang Mingyuan was actually able to have such a harmonious relationship with **, a dignified admiral.

"Hmph, if we can also lend 40 million yuan to the Yazhou Naval Base, it is estimated that General Zhao will not be what he used to be." Luo Dongwu said angrily, "People are broad and small, and they are generous, how can we compare." "A small island is willing to pay 50 million yuan to rent for 70 years, which in Luo Dongwu's view, is purely a loser

"It's not like we didn't send money to General Zhao at the beginning, but when did Commander Zhao accept it?" Qi Yan also asked angrily. If things are as simple as Luo Dongwu said, then it will be worry-free. Luo Dongwu blinked his eyes and ran out of words.

At this time, I saw a jeep coming from the dust, driving all the way to the bottom of the destroyer, and then stopped, and the officer just now, carrying a long box, took three steps and made two steps, and ran all the way to the ship. Coming to the front of **, he stood up and presented the box with both hands.

** Took the box and smiled: "Xiexie, you're okay here" The officer saluted and turned away.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the long wooden box, and there was a look of doubt in his eyes, could it be that he said?

** Turned around, stuffed the wooden box into Fang Mingyuan's hand and said, "Let you call Uncle Zhao, this uncle always has to be a bit of a greeting gift." This is a Japanese Osa's portable saber captured by the chief during the Anti-Japanese War. Later, it was given to me. I don't have any good stuff here, so you can take it."

Sure enough, it was the Japanese knife Fang Mingyuan, who was immediately overjoyed

Although the Japanese sword is a Tang knife born from China, it has been very different from the Tang knife. Generally, the blade of Japanese swords is very narrow, but because of the use of stainless steel as raw material, the forging and quenching process is very sophisticated, so the strength is very high, the blade is sharp, and the wavy knife lines are clearly visible; The scabbard and handguard have a beautiful appearance and are considered treasures by collectors all over Shijie. In particular, a saber captured from an officer of the Japanese army invading China is of historical significance.
