The leisurely life of rebirth.

"Tsk tsk... Fatty has become a literary youth." Han Zhiqian joked with a smile.

"Why not, let me show off!" The fat man raised his head and laughed.

"It's okay if you don't talk, but once you say this, you will reveal your secrets." Han Zhiqian said with his arms around his shoulders.

In the white snow, there are thousands of lights, forming a beautiful picture, warm and touching.There must be travelers in a hurry below, people who must be rushing home. In the tall buildings, the lights are brilliant, publicized and warm. Those are pairs of expectant eyes, reminding people who are hurrying back on the street. There is a lamp , is their eagerly waiting.

The fat man looked at him sideways, "Let's go! Let's go back to the house and talk, it's not cold here!" [

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

"Pfft..." Fang Monan laughed and said, "Then let's stay awake." Then she also sat down.

Because Fang Monan and the others often do morning exercises on the top of the mountain, some stone piers were placed on the top of the mountain for Fang Monan and the others to sit down and rest.The snow has been removed from the top, so you can sit on it with a cushion.The fat man also sat down. When he came out, he cleverly took three cotton pads.

"Boss, the coalition led by the U.S. military has launched large-scale air strikes on targets in Iraq and Kuwait since January 1. First, it bombed military centers, headquarters, supply networks, and permanent civilian facilities. The bombings continued one after another. It lasted for almost a month! By the end of January, the air force alone had blown up Iraq to the ground. The air force campaign has clearly taken effect by gradually depleting Saddam’s huge and inferior military machinery. This war is one-sided, The U.S. military won the war with a certainty. After the air strikes, it’s time to fight on the ground, so I’m afraid that the U.S. military will fall into street fighting, let alone the second Vietnam War!" Han Zhiqian looked at Fang Monan and said.

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

Fang Monan 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.Gearing up, "Then we can fight again."

Fang Monan continued to remind tirelessly, "Remember to disperse funds, the more dispersed the better!"

"Okay!" Han Zhiqian laughed.

On February 2, the long-awaited ground war began.Iraqi resistance crumbled in the face of a textbook military campaign, and Kuwait was liberated in three days.

Shorting is also called buying short, because futures are not spot transactions.You can buy short and sell short, that is, you have no goods in 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. This is buying short.The Iraq War begins.The price of oil has skyrocketed. Everyone knows that the end of the war is the time when the price of oil will fall. Everyone knows that it is best to buy or sell down a few days before the end of the war. But when buying futures contracts, you must close your positions when the contract expires. How long will this ground battle last? ?If it lasts for a long time, if you buy or sell for a long time, you will lose money every time you close your position. At that time, who would have thought that the ground war would end within four days?You know, before this war, Oriental scholars even thought it was another Vietnam War.The United States will pay a very heavy price in ground battles, and may even withdraw its troops because of too many casualties and cannot withstand domestic pressure.

On the 28th, when the United States announced the end of the Gulf War, the oil price plummeted by more than 20 US dollars. You must know that the oil price was only a dozen dollars a barrel at that time, and it rose to more than 30 US dollars during the Gulf War.

The ground battle ended in four days, I'm afraid no one in this world would believe it.Of course, there is another one who predicted success is He Junyao, didn't he predict for five days!However, other people in the country thought he was a lunatic for his prediction at the time.Longing the ambitions of others destroys one's own prestige.

"Huh! Now the account will grow again." Fatty said happily.He invested part of the money from these years into Cheng Shigui's Longteng Fund and asked professionals to help manage it, and his assets have been rising steadily!

"No more cash." Han Zhiqian obviously pointed out something.

"Hey..." Fatty scratched his head embarrassingly, and changed the subject, "The Yankees are amazing!" He said with emotion. "This time, the display of their new weapons is even more vivid."

"If you want to sell it, whoever will buy it if you don't behave well!" Han Zhiqian laughed.

"Sell it! This is going to start an arms race again!" Fatty's eyes widened and he said worriedly, "It won't be a world war!"

"Isn't the theme of the world now peace and development!" Han Zhiqian said in surprise. [

Fang Monan sneered, "Peace and development, what is the war that just started?" She continued, "The so-called "peace and development" does not have conflicts between countries or various class conflicts, but is like a laboratory. Such a simplified era of "peace and development". The world is complex, conflicts are always inevitable, and contradictions are inevitable." She paused and said, "The development of science and technology, the development of productivity, there are many It was brought about by the war. Just like the hairpin from cold weapons to guns and hot weapons was not brought about by war. Needless to say, how did nuclear power develop? Needless to say! Many dynasties in the world are Fallen in peace, and finally perishes. Born in sorrow, dies in peace."

Fang Monan said, "War follows the entire history of human development like a shadow. Every war is to re-develop from the ruins and take off again. Some people always think that war will inevitably bring about economic decline. Is this really the case? ?Take our ancient history as an example. The Han people were invaded by the Huns, and the Huns repeatedly waged wars. They relied on wars to develop their economy. In the modern Opium War, after we lost the war, we paid compensation and cut the land. The war was not caused by economic stagnation but by It’s profit! Otherwise, you think capitalists can profit from wars, you’re stupid! The essence of this war in the United States is not that Lao Sa wants to monopolize oil, which is tantamount to choking the blood of Western industry. She paused and continued, "Those countries in the Middle East are defined by the United States as "energy-based countries" and provide the United States with abundant energy; you can be rich, but you must not be strong, especially in the military."

"Think about it carefully, um! It makes sense!" Han Zhiqian rubbed his chin and said.

"However, there will be no big wars in the next 20 years, small ones! With the current situation in the United States, the self-confidence is so inflated, where will he get involved." Fang Monan sneered.

The Gulf War was the first large-scale modern local war after the Cold War.The easy victory of this war freed the United States from the "Vietnam War Syndrome" that had affected itself for many years, enhanced its ability and confidence to intervene in international affairs, and fueled its ambition to dominate the world.After the Gulf War, the United States has greatly increased its interference and involvement in global and regional affairs, such as interference in regional affairs such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Somalia, and Haiti, as well as the implementation of NATO's eastward expansion, sanctions and military attacks against Iraq, and the launch of the Kosovo War. It is the specific steps of its power politics and new interventionism, which not only have a negative impact on regional security, but also damage world peace and stability.At the same time, the Gulf War demonstrated the great power of high-tech weapons, marking that high-tech local wars have entered the world military arena as a basic form of modern warfare.Due to the use of high-tech weapons, major changes have taken place in modern warfare in terms of combat thinking, combat styles, combat methods, command methods, organizational structure of combat forces, and the process and outcome of wars. The emergence of the concept of war was a strong shock, prompting a worldwide upsurge in the study of future new types of warfare, thus triggering a world-wide military revolution characterized by the transformation from mechanized warfare to information warfare.Countries around the world are not studying countermeasures and adjusting strategies in order to occupy a favorable position in future competition.

"Huh! That's good! No one wants to fight." The fat man said, patting his chest.

"That's even worse! It's better to hurt someone with a sharp sword than a dark arrow! At least you know who the enemy is. A wolf in sheep's clothing is the most terrifying!" Fang Monan rolled his eyes at him and said. "Sugar-coated cannons are corrosive, sometimes more terrifying than ship-hard cannons! Peace is peace wielding a big stick!"

"It's like the United States to the Soviet Union! Peaceful evolution." Han Zhiqian pointed to the big country in the north. He knew everything about the Soviet Union. Cheng Shigui often mentioned the changes in the Soviet Union on the phone. Its innovations. In the 20s, the party-state elites that ran the Soviet system bore little resemblance to the socialist parties of the 80 revolution. Over time, they have become pragmatic elites, most of them People no longer take socialist ideology seriously, and only pursue personal power, fame and privilege. During the period of "perestroika", the leadership of the CPSU relinquished control of society as a whole, leaving the future direction of social development to open debate and legitimate Political struggle, at this time, most of the party-state elites quickly abandoned their superficial loyalty to socialism, and turned to follow capitalism to return to the power of the Soviet Union. And their corruption will turn the leading cadres of the Communist Party into enemies of the Communist Party. Illegal income must be eager for the collapse of the Communist Party. Tsk tsk...so the Soviet Union is not far from disintegration." He pouted, "This is called bloodless!"

Fang Monan clearly knew that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was because these elites realized that capitalism could allow them to acquire ownership of valuable assets under the Soviet system and make them richer.In fact, many of them achieved this ambition.
