Rebirth of the Rising Sun
Chapter 42 The Gulf War Begins
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Day and January of 1991.
The weather in the capital has become colder recently, but some people's moods just can't cool down. For example, Feng Sizhe is such a person. The Feida Packaging Company he helped to establish has now entered the right track. For a while, the money rolled in, which made Bai Zhifei laugh. Later, Feng Sizhe guided Duan Yunpeng to establish Pengfei Co., Ltd., which included home appliances, communications, etc. These are all very popular industries in the future. Under Feng Zhe's vision, Duan Yunpeng and Bai Zhifei rushed into the industry. Pengfei was taken from the last word of their names. In fact, this company is mainly managed by Bai Zhifei, and Duan Yunpeng is mainly responsible for establishing the Great Wall Club.
Duan Yunpeng is really amazing. I don't know how he has so much money. He really listened to Feng Sizhe and bought a piece of old land in the capital. The size of the place far exceeded Feng Sizhe's initial imagination. It can be seen that Duan Yunpeng really has unparalleled connections in Kyoto. The Duan family is really amazing. Of course, this is also related to the fact that many people did not pay much attention to land back then.
Of course, these are not what Feng Sizhe is most concerned about. What he is most concerned about is the outbreak of the Gulf War. If he remembers correctly, the Gulf War started this month.
The wheel of history has not changed, and the Gulf War that Feng Sizhe had been paying attention to for a long time really broke out on January 1.
Without any signs, the Gulf War broke out, and it was only seven days away from the Spring Festival of the Republic. People were originally filled with joy about the Spring Festival, but the sudden outbreak of the Gulf War made many political and military leaders turn their attention to Iraq versus Kuwait. At the same time, many people also turned their attention to the three generations of Lieutenant General Zhao, who had long been known for his foresight and had threatened such a war.
As the multinational coalition led by the United States began a local war against Iraq under the authorization of the UN Security Council to restore the territorial integrity of Kuwait, the Gulf War kicked off. The military personnel of the Republic also set their sights on that land, and the names of Lieutenant General Zhao Mingyuan and his son Zhao Wanyong also resounded in the military.
Whether it was just a blind cat catching a dead mouse for Lieutenant General Zhao and his son, or they really had such strategic vision, the outbreak of the Gulf War was as they predicted. As the war really broke out, the elites of the Republic's army immediately found the manuscript written by Zhao and his son at the time, and began to subconsciously pay close attention to this modern local war according to the precautions mentioned in the manuscript.
Lieutenant General Zhao was summoned by the leaders of the Central Army W at the first opportunity. They really wanted to know how this commander of the Fourth Capital Military Region, who was nicknamed Crazy Zhao during the war, could foresee in advance that the Gulf War would break out and how he knew that this was a local modern war.
Feng Sizhe had mentioned these issues to his grandfather more than once. Even though Lieutenant General Zhao was not smart and could not remember some things, he had someone listening to him every day, and over time he did understand some of them. So he told his grandfather some of the things he had heard from Feng Sizhe.
Most of the words Feng Sizhe used were from the 21st century. These words gave people a fresh feeling and touched the leaders of the Central Army deeply. They had to take a closer look at Lieutenant General Zhao Mingyuan. It seemed that he was just a madman in fighting, but he had the awareness of a modern soldier even in peacetime. Someone immediately suggested that they should add some responsibilities to Lieutenant General Zhao Mingyuan. The political commissar of the Kyoto Military Region had just reached the age limit and was not in good health, so they asked whether they could consider letting him take over.
Lieutenant General Zhao certainly had no idea what the leaders of the Military Commission would say about him behind his back after he reported all this to them. He only knew that after listening to his views and analysis on the matter, the leaders of the Central Military Commission kept nodding their heads, which benefited him greatly.
The Gulf War started, and military researchers in the military community focused their attention on this model of modern local war. However, more non-professionals such as military and political officials focused their attention on the Zhao father and son. In particular, Lieutenant General Zhao Mingyuan was asked by the Central Military Commission about his views on this war, and his answer was even more unbelievable.
Lieutenant General Zhao Mingyuan answered confidently that this war would be mainly based on air strikes. When the air strikes reach a certain level, the deployment of ground forces would be like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the war could be ended within a few days.
Lieutenant General Zhao's answer shocked the leaders of the Central Army. If things were really as Zhao Mingyuan said, then future wars would be completely modernized, and the effect of ground forces would be minimal. Everyone knew that the Republic's most proud army was the Army. If the Republic's Army, which was considered the most powerful by all countries in the world, could not play its due role, what would the Republic do if a war broke out in the future?
After listening to Lieutenant General Zhao's words, some central military leaders have unconsciously begun to calculate in their hearts whether they should increase military spending on the Air Force, Navy, Second Artillery and other arms in the future.
Lieutenant General Zhao heard all these words from Feng Sizhe. He didn't take them seriously at first, but when all the things Feng Sizhe predicted came true, he really had to take Feng Sizhe's words seriously. He didn't know why his grandson had such keen observation, but he had to admit the accuracy of his predictions.
Compared to his grandfather and uncle, Feng Sizhe has been very low-key these days. He knows that what he did cannot be hidden from the central leaders. Some of them must have guessed that he is the mastermind behind these things. Maybe at this moment, some of the experts and scholars of the Chinese Academy of Sciences will not be able to resist the urge to study his body.
The more he thought about these things, the more scared he became, so much so that when Duan Yunpeng called and wanted to pick him up to celebrate, he refused on the grounds of being unwell. For the time being, he should just stay in the courtyard and wait and see what happens. Anyway, after this incident, he believes that his grandfather and uncle's positions in the military will be highlighted, and the Zhao family will benefit greatly from it. This is his goal. If he wants to develop well, the Zhao family must be strong, otherwise many of his political lines and policies that benefit the country and the people will be difficult to implement.
Fortunately, the New Year is coming soon. It is already the twelfth month of the lunar calendar. The festive atmosphere in Kyoto is already strong, which somewhat dilutes the dazzling brilliance of the Zhao family father and son. Lieutenant General Zhao is also a person who has experienced the Cultural Revolution and has seen many ups and downs. After being appropriately high-profile for a while, he also calmed down. Except for banquets and conversations with some old leaders, he rarely interacted with his colleagues. Lieutenant General Zhao's reaction immediately won praise from many central leaders. It turns out that Crazy Zhao is also a person who is very sensible in doing things.
