"Tsk...... The fat man has also become a literary and artistic youth, the latest chapter of the immortal true demon. Han Zhiqian joked with a smile.

"Why can't I show off!" The fat man tilted his head and smiled.

"It's okay not to speak, but as soon as you say this, you'll be exposed." Han Zhiqian put his arm around his shoulders and said.

In the snow, the lights of thousands of homes form a beautiful picture, warm and touching. There must be travelers in a hurry, there must be people rushing home, high-rise buildings, brilliant lights, flamboyant and warm, that is a pair of expectant eyes, reminding the people on the street who are hurrying home, there is a lamp, they are waiting eagerly.

The fat man looked at him obliquely, "Let's go!" We didn't go back to the house to talk, it's not cold here! ”

"This keeps the mind sharp." Han Zhiqian let go of him, took out the cotton cushion from the fat man's hand, and sat on the stone pier at the top of the mountain.

"Puff......" Fang Menan laughed, "Then let's stay awake." Then she sat down.

Since Fang Monan and they often practiced at the top of the mountain, some stone piers were also placed on the top of the mountain for Fang Monan and them to sit down and rest. The snow on it has been cleared, so you can sit on a cushion. The fat man also sat down, and when he came out, he cleverly took three cotton mats.

"Boss, the U.S.-led coalition has launched large-scale air strikes on Iraqi and Kuwaiti targets since January 17, first bombing military centers, headquarters and supply networks, as well as civilian permanent facilities, and the bombing has continued for almost a month! By the end of January, the Air Force alone had razed Iraq to the ground. The Air Force's campaign has gradually worn down Saddam's vast and inferior military machinery, and it has clearly achieved results. This war is one-sided, and the US military is sure to win the war. After the air raid, it's time for ground battles, I'm afraid that the U.S. military will fall into street fighting, don't be the second Vietnam War! Han Zhiqian looked at Fang Mo Nandao.

The reflection of the snow can clearly see the other party's expression, and the fat man also said. "Missiles fly around on TV every day, and this Iraq is too weak!"

Fang Menan raised his eyebrows and said, "It is estimated that the war will end at the end of the month." This time she gave a specific timetable.

"Oh! So fast! Han Zhiqian took a deep breath of cold air. "Then we can do it again." ”

Fang Monan took the trouble to continue reminding, "Remember to disperse your funds, the more scattered, the better!" ”

“OK！” Han Zhiqian said with a smile.

On February 24, the long-awaited ground war began. Iraq's resistance collapsed in the face of a textbook military campaign, and Kuwait was completely liberated within three days.

Shorting is also known as buying down, because futures are not spot trading. You can buy short and sell short, that is, you have no goods in your hand, or you can sign a contract with someone to sell the goods when the price is high, and then buy the goods to close the position when the price falls, which is buying down. The war in Iraq began. The price of oil has soared, everyone knows that the end of the war is the time when the price of oil falls, everyone knows that it is best to buy a few days before the end of the war, but to buy futures and contracts must be closed when the contract expires, how long will this ground battle be fought? If it lasts for a long time, if you buy and fall for a long time, you will lose money just every time you close the position, and who would have thought that the ground war would end in four days? You know, before this war, Orientalists even thought it was another Vietnam War. The United States will pay a terrible price in ground battles, and will even withdraw its troops because the casualties are too heavy to withstand the domestic pressure.

On the 28th, the United States announced that oil prices had plummeted by more than $20 at the end of the Gulf War, and you must know that the price of oil was only a dozen dollars a barrel at that time, but during the Gulf War it rose to more than $30, and the profit from shorting reached nearly 200 percent.

Four days of ground fighting, I'm afraid that no one in the world will believe it. Of course, there is another prediction that succeeded, that is, He Junyao, didn't he predict for five days! However, his prediction was thought to be a madman by the rest of the country at the time. Grow up others to destroy their own prestige.

"Whew! Now the account will be long again. The fat man said happily. He invested part of the money over the years into Cheng Shigui's Longteng Fund for professionals to help take care of it, and his assets rose gradually!

"No more cash." Han Zhiqian obviously meant something.

"Hehe...... the fat man scratched his head embarrassedly and changed the subject, "Yankees are amazing!" He sighed. This time, the display of people's new weapons is even more incisive. ”

"If you want to sell it, who will buy it if you don't perform well!" Han Zhiqian said with a smile.

"Sell it! This is another arms race! The fat man's eyes widened, and he said worriedly, "There won't be a world war!" ”

"The theme of the world now is not peace and development!" Han Zhiqian was surprised.

Fang Monan sneered, "Peace and development, what is the war that just went on?" She continued, "The so-called 'peace and development' is an era of simplified 'peace and development' like in a laboratory without the contradictions and conflicts between countries and various class conflicts. The world is complex, conflicts are always inevitable, and contradictions are inevitable. She paused for a moment and said, "The development of science and technology, the development of productive forces, many of which are brought about by war. It's like a hairpin from a cold weapon to a gun and a hot weapon, and that time was not brought by war. Needless to say, how did nuclear power develop? Needless to say! Many of the world's dynasties have fallen in peace and died out. Born in sorrow, died in peace. ”

Fang Monan said, "War is like a shadow with the entire history of human development, and every war is for the purpose of re-developing on the ruins and taking off again. Some people always think that war will inevitably lead to economic decline, but is this really the case? Take our ancient history as an example, the Han nation was invaded by the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu repeatedly launched wars, and they relied on war to develop their economy. In the Opium War in modern times, after our defeat, we paid reparations and ceded land, and it was not the economic shutdown that started the war but profit! Otherwise, you think that it is unprofitable for the capitalists to wage war, he is stupid! The essence of this war in the United States is not that Lao Sa wants to monopolize oil, which is equivalent to choking the blood of Western industry, can the Yankees tolerate others to get stuck in their necks! She paused and continued, "Those countries in the Middle East are defined by the United States as "energy-oriented countries" and provide abundant energy for the United States; You can be rich, but you must not be strong, especially militarily. ”

"Come to think of it, yes! Reasonable! Han Zhiqian rubbed his chin and said.

"But there will be no big wars for the next twenty years, small ones! With the current situation in the United States, his self-confidence is so inflated that he will not get involved anywhere. Fang Monan sneered.

The Gulf War was the first large-scale modern local war after the Cold War. An easy victory in this war has freed the United States from the "Vietnam War syndrome" that has affected it for many years, strengthened its ability and confidence in intervening in international affairs, and boosted its ambition to dominate the world. Since the Gulf War, the United States has greatly increased its interference and involvement in global and regional affairs, such as its interference in regional affairs in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somalia, Haiti, and other regions, as well as the implementation of NATO's eastward expansion, sanctions, armed strikes against Iraq, and the launching of the Kosovo War. At the same time, the Gulf War demonstrated the tremendous power of high-tech weapons, indicating that high-tech local wars have appeared on the world military stage as the basic pattern of modern warfare. As a result of the use of high-tech weapons, major changes have taken place in the operational thinking, combat style, operational methods, command methods, organizational structure of combat units, and the course and outcome of modern warfare, which have had a strong impact on the traditional concept of warfare formed since World War II, and have prompted an upsurge in the study of new-type warfare in the future throughout the world, thus triggering a worldwide military revolution in which mechanized warfare has been transformed into an information war. All countries in the world are studying countermeasures and adjusting their strategies in order to occupy an advantageous position in the future competition.

"Whew! That's good! No one wants a war. The fat man patted his chest and said.

"That's even worse! It's better to hurt people with a clear knife than a hidden arrow! At least you know who the enemy is, and the wolf in sheep's clothing is the most terrifying! Fang Monan gave him a blank look and said. Sugar-coated cannonballs are corrosive, sometimes more terrible than ship guns! Peace is peace with a big stick! ”

"It's like the United States against the USSR! Peaceful evolution. Han Zhiqian pointed to the big countries in the north, he knew a lot about the Soviet Union, and Cheng Shigui often mentioned the changes in the Soviet Union on the phone, "Why did the 'reforms' of the Soviet Union lead to the turmoil of the Soviet Union rather than its innovation." In the 80s of the 20th century, the party-state elite that ran the Soviet system already had little resemblance to the socialist parties of the 1917 revolution. Over time, they have become a pragmatist elite, most of whom no longer take socialist ideology seriously and only seek personal power, fame, and privilege. During the period of "perestroika", when the leadership of the CPSU relinquished control over society as a whole and handed over the future direction of social development to open debate and legitimate political struggle, the majority of the party-state elite quickly abandoned their apparent loyalty to socialism in favor of capitalism and returned to the Soviet Union. And their corruption will make the leading cadres of the first to become the enemy of the first, and they will inevitably want to collapse in order to bleaching illegal income. Gee...... So the USSR is not far from its collapse. He pouted and said, "This is called a bloodless blade!" ”

It was clear to Fang that the collapse of the Soviet Union was due to the realization that capitalism would allow them to take ownership of the valuable assets of the Soviet system and make them richer. In fact, many of them have realized this ambition. (To be continued.)
