"Although this is just a historical fabrication, it also shows the importance of Afghanistan to the Soviet Union! If you look at the three routes, this passage through Afghanistan is the closest. Peter the Great's successors can be said to have lived up to their mission and desperately expanded in the direction of the Indian Ocean. In the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, the old tsars fought the old colonial empire Britain for the last time for Afghanistan. In the 50s, Afghanistan and Pakistan had a serious dispute over the Pashtunistan issue, and the two countries were on the verge of war. The Soviet Union seized this favorable opportunity to express its resolute support for Afghanistan's position on this issue, seized the opportunity to strike at pro-American Pakistan, and at once pulled Afghanistan into its arms. ”

He Zheng filled in the map, "The Soviet Union, under the mantle of the old tsar's southward strategy, attempted to use Afghanistan as a base for its southward expansion, and then opened a land passage directly to the Indian Ocean, threatening the oil-producing areas of the Middle East and encircling Europe in a roundabout way, and echoing its Pacific strategy, and finally achieving its goal of world hegemony." ”

He Zheng narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Kissinger said: Whoever controls oil controls all countries. The Middle East wants to be calm! The discovery of oil does not know whether it is fortunate or unfortunate. ”

He Zheng picked up the teacup in front of him, drank it all at once, put down the empty cup and said, "In the 70s, the Soviet Union implemented Brezhnev's global strategy and stepped up its struggle for world hegemony with the United States. In order to realize its strategic attempt to move south into the Indian Ocean and control the hub of Central Asia, it began to carry out political, economic, cultural and military infiltration into Afghanistan in 1973. By the way, in April this year, Su supported the officers of the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan in a coup d'état. Seizure of power. ”

"Hey! I've said all that, what the hell do you mean? He Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Do you need to ask us?" Lucifer's fishy hand patted him on the shoulder and said, "You think slowly?" ”

He Zheng, who was deep in thought, couldn't care about the fishy smell that rushed to his nose. The hand kept scratching his chin, "Afghanistan is very important to the Soviet Union, with the usual practice of the United States, support the puppet, let Afghanistan make trouble, the Soviet Union can not sit idly by, contribute the best money, and make the best." It would be even better if it could drag the Soviet Union into the ocean of war. Didn't the United States almost drag itself to death in Vietnam? That's why it turned from offensive to defensive. ”

He added, "Just like us back then, and later North Korea and Vietnam." It was a barbarian who just set fire to it, and he didn't care about cleaning up, and the local area was traumatized by war and was in ruins! ”

"Not true. Was the USSR so stupid? Will you jump into a pit? He Zheng shook his head and said.

"There are enough benefits. I know it's a pit, and I jump into it. Gu Yaluo said indifferently.

"Isn't it the last century when the Western powers arbitrarily ravaged weak countries, and the international community will not strongly condemn them?" He Zheng frowned lightly and said.

Gu Yaluo raised her forehead and said, "Wouldn't you be so naïve?" "Condemnation is not worth mentioning in the face of strength, but it depends on whose power it is.

He Zheng slapped his forehead and sneered, "This world is still the law of the jungle, and whoever has a hard fist will make sense." ”

"It's a family history! How do you think only about political and military aspects. Don't you care about the economic aspect? Lucifer steamed the grouper and turned around. Take the peeled and washed potatoes and place them on the cutting board.

Dangdang...... Shred. That knife work is amazing.

In He Zheng's smack, "Economic? He said suddenly. No way, just like he said about the family history, my brain hasn't turned around for so many years.

"Economy? Will there be another oil crisis? He Zheng scratched his chin and muttered, "There are oil futures this time, you can play with it!" ”

Gu Yaluo raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh! Only oil? ”

"Gold, yes, gold." He Zheng patted his forehead and said, "There is a saying in China: gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times!" ”

"Where do you think to start?" Gu Yaluo asked with interest.

"Iran!" He Zheng said without thinking, "I just came back from Iran, and my abject poverty suddenly turned into an upstart. The first oil crisis broke out, oil prices soared, and a group of oil-producing countries along the Persian Gulf coast got rich quickly. Within a few years, Iran's GDP had multiplied.

The capital, Tehran, is a prosperous scene, with high-rise buildings, highways in all directions, and 2 million cars congesting the capital's traffic.

At a time when wealth is growing rapidly, the inherent contradictions within Iranian society are intensifying.

Iran's oil revenues have increased rapidly due to the sharp rise in oil prices. According to statistics, in 1972~1973, the Iranian government's oil revenue was 2.8 billion US dollars, and in 1974~1975 it rose to 17.8 billion US dollars. Iran gets a huge 'petrodollar' and goes from a debtor to a creditor. At this time, Iran's annual oil production reached about 200 million tons, ranking first in the Middle East and fourth in the world, and it became a rich country in the world.

However, while wealth is increasing, the gap between the rich and the poor is widening, and the rich are accumulating wealth, stealing and plundering, corrupting, and spending money, and the vast number of peasants and the urban poor have hardly benefited from the surging oil wealth, and the gap between the rich and the poor has grown in tandem with social wealth. Now that the government is obedient to the United States and willingly acts as the gendarme of the United States in the Persian Gulf, the national contradictions, accompanied by the people's anger at the Western culture devouring Islamic culture, have brought the regime to the crater. Mass demonstrations against the Iranian monarchy in January of this year. ”

"Oh!" He Zheng suddenly looked at Gu Yaluo shyly, "Tell me the religious forces, is it going to come to power soon." ”

"Hmm!" Gu Yaluo glanced at him indifferently and asked.

"I know that Aunt Lu is scaling back orders for the Middle East, Iran and Afghanistan." He Zheng's lips pursed tightly.

"Why do you ask?" Gu Yaluo raised her eyebrows lightly and said.

"Only if religious forces come to power, then it will be a disaster for women, and women have no rights at all: from going out and working, to going abroad, they must have the written permission of a male relative to be their father before marriage and their husband after marriage, and sex outside of marriage will be punished by death. Those fashionable clothes will be replaced by the shroud, not to say the black robe. He Zheng's eyes revealed a cold light, "The powder keg in the Middle East is worthy of its name. ”

"Don't worry about anyone. You should still think about looking for investment opportunities in the face of great changes! Gu Yaluo's eyes were clear, and her tone was still as calm as before.

Most of the secular Islamic countries that have been overthrown are dictatorships! For the entire Islamic world. Secularization is a new thing, and it will inevitably face a counterattack from the conservative forces, which must be carried out by coercive means, and there is no need to make some concessions to curry favor with the conservative forces. So only a dictatorship can guarantee that the secularization of Islam can be carried out! However, conservative forces are not willing to fail, and often collude with foreign countries to subvert the regime! This is the reason why the so-called Islamic Revolution took place in the countries of the Middle East one after another in a secular country, and after the revolution, without exception, all became theocratic countries! I don't know if it's progress or regression. Of course, they are self-consciously noble in terms of spiritual beliefs, but the standard of living is a real regression! Think about it, is it similar to the great changes in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe in the 90s?

After an hour, the meal was finally ready. Dinner was simple, four dishes and one soup.

Steamed grouper, Longjing shrimp, hot and sour shredded potatoes, garlic macaroni, lotus root pork rib soup......

The three of them elegantly sandwiched the dishes and chatted while eating. Of course, the topic is much lighter.

After eating. Lucifer said to He Zhengnunu, "Wash the dishes!" ”

"Good!" He Zheng cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, washed the dishes in a slippery manner, and after cleaning up, "Drink tea!" Bring me a drink too. "I don't have the slightest sense of being disliked as a light bulb.

Lucifer, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at him and said, "If you don't leave, why don't you let me give you a ride!" ”

"...... after drinking?" In front of the irritable man who was anxious to get close to his wife, He Zheng raised his hand. "I'll go, I'll go."

"It's really inhumane to be of the opposite sex." He Zheng muttered dissatisfiedly. As a result, he was kicked into the lush by Lucifer...... It should have been in the sea, who made He Zheng's kung fu high? Steadily on a jet ski.

The roar of the motorboat and his arrogant laughter disappeared far before Lucifer's eyes.

Next, the newlyweds fished, swam, and skied on the yacht during the day on the boat, and in the dark night, they were turned over by the red waves, drenched in pleasure, and spent the day and went ashore.

On the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th or full moon after the marriage, the son-in-law returns to her parents' home with the bride with gifts to meet her wife's parents and relatives.

The gift of becoming a son-in-law since the beginning of the kiss has been completed. This custom originated in ancient times, and is generally known as "Guining", which means to go home to visit parents after marriage. In later generations, the names were different in various places, the Song Dynasty called "Baimen", the Qing Dynasty called "Shuanghuimen" in the north, and the south called "Huiqin".

This is the last ceremony of the marriage, there is a daughter does not forget the gift of parental upbringing, the son-in-law thanks the parents-in-law and the newlyweds for their love and beauty, etc., generally, the female family has a banquet to entertain, the new son-in-law is seated, accompanied by the female patriarch. The newlyweds either return on the same day, or stay for a few days, and if they do, they do not share the same room.

The traditional wedding ceremony shows the unique process of a nation's pursuit of "in my name, with your fingers, accompanied by you for a lifetime, and accompanied by a lifetime".

On the day of returning home, Gu Yaluo got up late again, and he was going to prepare breakfast for him, but it became what he prepared for himself.

After the two had eaten, Lucifer took out the prepared things from the kitchen, and the two of them carried them home.

"Mom, there is also a roast pig in Lucifer's gift!" Zhu Cuiyun said rarely, "This is too feudal!" ”

Lu Jiangdan waved his hand and smiled, "He didn't mean that?" Today's young people still understand this, he just gives gifts according to ancient gifts. ”

In the old days, in the south, especially in Guangdong, when the three dynasties returned to the door, they sent roast pigs to show that the bride's chastity was intact, and the bride was respected by the male family, and the female family was proud of it. "Eating roast pig" has become synonymous with whether the bride is chaste or not. On the day of the three dynasties, the groom accompanied the bride back to the door, and the woman's parents looked forward to it, and only let go of the long-hanging heart when they saw the "roast pig" that came with it. The daughter is a virgin who guards like a jade, and the son-in-law's family has expressed their satisfaction with her, and the parents are relieved that their daughter has a lifelong trust. In response to this old custom, Yu Puchen, a Qing man, ridiculed this vulgarity with a poem: "Who teaches the arm to print red in Lu Lane, and the shadow of the flowers in the cave room is always hazy; Who is the Dingqing Lu ceremony, three days of roast pig on behalf of the palace. "Although the roast pig is sent, but the roast pig cuts off the tail or peels off the pig's skin, the female family will also regard it as a shame. (To be continued.) )
