Chapter 242 Mysterious tactics from the East
The Afghan War was a war that was not famous but extremely important in the world. At the end of 1979, the former Soviet Union relied on his mechanized legion to invade Afghanistan and completed the occupation of Afghanistan in less than a month. But then the four major gangsters of the United States, Britain, France and China joined forces with the Arab world to dig pits for the former Soviet Union in Afghanistan, dragging the war that should have ended easily into a protracted war that lasted for ten years.
Perhaps that was just a small battle for a superpower, but the duration of ten years was a huge burden for any country. In the end, the former Soviet Union was exhausted here, and the already unscientific economy also declared collapse because of this war. Therefore, many historical circles regard the Afghan War as an inducement to the disintegration of the former Soviet Union.
Afghanistan successfully defeated a superpower by relying on guerrilla warfare. Although the terrain factors in Afghanistan's mountainous areas are enough to show the success of this strategy
At this point, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing: So, if we can successfully copy this strategy to the battlefield in Iraq in the future, we will also receive the same effect. This time our goal will be transferred from a country to a consortium. However, this war was originally carried by this consortium, so it may not be unacceptable to let them bear more military expenditure, right?
Listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, Edward and Louis were both shocked. Although they knew that Zhou Ming's idea was very imaginative and they also imagined what solution Zhou Ming would propose, they were all in Brighton, and at most it was a California consortium. But they never expected that Zhou Ming would expand the plan directly to the Middle East.
What kind of brain is this
Edward and Louis could not imagine how he linked these things with someone like Zhou Ming.
Of course, if you reason, the Rockefeller Consortium does have no reason to spend tens of billions of dollars to help the Adams family solve the problem of the collapse of the CDS market. You must know that even for a consortium, tens of billions are a considerable expense. Although it is impossible to cause any damage, who doesn’t know if you can save it? Besides, Brighton is simply the family affairs of the Brighton Consortium. Why must he get involved?
Unless the Rockefeller family and the Adams family are now carrying out a huge cooperative project, at this critical moment, the Rockefeller family does not want the Adams family to be killed by an irrelevant CDS market, so he must give the Adams family a hard throw of blood no matter what.
Now, looking at the whole world, the only one who can give them the opportunity to cooperate like this is the Middle East where war is about to break out.
It seems that it makes sense to think about it this way, but this is all based on Zhou Ming's words. It is probably only Zhou Ming who can think of this in advance and dare to put his thinking so far. Not to mention that Zhou Ming dares to come up with such a way to remove the fire from the bottom of the pot and start directly in the Middle East.
Edward and Louis usually claim to be smart, but at this time, even though they were in the Brighton Consortium, they knew about the cooperation between Adams and Rockefeller, but they could never think of this method.
At this time, Zhou Ming waved his hand and said: OK, don't be surprised, the problem now is whether we can make Adams and Rockefeller families pay more military expenses for this war
Edward still happily answered Zhou Ming's question: It's very simple, we just need to discuss it with other families in private. I believe they are not willing to pay huge military expenses for a war to defend Rockefeller's oil interests. So when other consortiums are unwilling to share military expenses, the war must be fought, and the military expenses can only be paid for the two major families that have made profits.
Edward became a little hesitant when he said this: But Mr. Zhou Ming, please be honest, your idea is good, but you seem to have overlooked the very important terrain problem.
Mr. Governor, you want to say that Afghanistan is mountainous, while most parts of Iraq are deserts and plains. At least if the US military attacks from Saudi Arabia and Syria, there will be Gobi and plains at an altitude of less than 100 meters along the way, so the guerrillas cannot hide and effectively block the US military. Right? Zhou Ming took Edward's words and asked.
Edward nodded blankly at this, and Zhou Ming then said: I think you must have never heard of the Plain Guerrillas, Mr. Governor.
Edward and Louis widened their eyes. Obviously they had never heard of such a title. There was no way, so Zhou Ming had to give them some science: As the name suggests, the so-called plain guerrillas are the general term for guerrilla troops active behind the enemy on the plain battlefield. They are usually hidden among the people. Whenever they have a task, they immediately turn into superheroes to climb trains and bomb bridges, just like a sharp knife that will always be inserted into the heart of the enemy.
I can believe that the US military can quickly obtain Iraq's air supremacy with high-tech cutting-edge weapons and can unscrupulously launch uninterrupted long-range strikes on all military targets in Iraq. But you can't blow the entire Iraq into ruins. In the end, you always have to send troops to occupy and eliminate hostile armed forces from one city to another. Then this is the time for the guerrillas to show their powers.
Zhou Ming continued: Of course, what I said about showing off my supernatural powers is not that the guerrillas can fight with tanks and cannons after getting the protection of Allah, but can use roadside bombs or sudden sneak attacks to effectively kill and injure enemy soldiers.
Although this tactic cannot prevent the US military from finally advancing to Baghdad as long as the US commander is truly determined, it can effectively delay the US military's offensive and extend the war infinitely. Even if the US military finally occupy Baghdad, as long as Iraq does not surrender, through this tactic, the war can still be dragged down until our goal is achieved. Zhou Ming said.
Edward and Louis were shocked again, and Edward murmured: Is this a mysterious tactic from the East? It's incredible
As important figures of the Kendian and Lowell families, in order to train their strategic vision, the family sent them to military academy to study, and even had exchanges with a general about a certain battle, so they all had a certain understanding of the war.
However, it is precisely this that Zhou Ming's words had a huge impact on them, because their previous ideas were to defend the enemy outside the country, which was equivalent to guarding a house, locking the gate and blocking the enemy outside; but Zhou Ming's ideas were completely opposite to their concept of war, and they had to open the gate and let the enemy outside come in and kill him.
Isn’t war a good way to turn defense into an offensive and turn defense into an offensive? How can the defensive side give up defense and let the enemy in? But it seems that this method is indeed a good way to turn defense into offensive and turn defense passive into offensive initiative.
Under this idea, Edward and Louis understood the first time the family stipulated that they would go to the military academy to study: it turned out that an excellent businessman could really become an excellent strategic commander
Zhou Ming was helpless about Edward and Louis' surprise. You should know that guerrilla tactics are understood by every country, and letting the enemy in and fight is not an incomprehensible tactic. However, in the eyes of Westerners who are born with brains and lack of loops, this is very magical. It can only be said to be a difference in Eastern and Western concepts.
From your attitude, I think you can already accept my ideas, so the only thing left is how we can convince Mr. Saddam to accept our proposal, because if he surrenders quickly due to the failure of the front line, then all our preparations will be wasted. Zhou Ming said.
I think as long as we can contact him, he should be able to accept it. After all, he is the emperor of that country. Edward said blankly.
Zhou Ming shook his head and said: The emperor is also tough and weak. I don’t think he has the courage and determination.
Zhou Ming said this without any target. In his memory, the Iraqi war madman was bombarded by the US military on the front line. He announced his unconditional surrender just a hundred hours after the ground troops began to land, so Zhou Ming did not believe him at all.
Edward and Louis slowly came back from their previous shock. They looked at each other, and Edward asked: But what should we do to make him have this courage and determination.
Faced with this question, Zhou Ming once again gave an answer that stunned them: I'll go to Baghdad in person, I'll convince him, do you have this channel?
When Edward and Louis were shocked by Zhou Ming again and again in the private room of St. Na's private restaurant in San Francisco, Cristo was scolding Robert in his study.
My son, things have come to this situation. Are you still not satisfied? Do you have to destroy this family? Christo said.
Robert smiled disdainfully at this: Mr. Christo, I think you got the wrong partner. Now things have evolved into this situation. It is obviously your own problem. You can't compare with Zhou Ming, which will cause this situation. But you actually want to try to put all the responsibility on my head. It seems that you are still the same as before, a disgusting coward.
I really feel very sad for my child, if I can, I will never care about your affairs anymore. Christo said.
So you feel regretful, right? Robert is even more disdainful. Then Mr. Christo, I advise you to find Zhou Ming quickly, kneel in front of him and beg him to let you go. Maybe this will make things turn around, and maybe he won't cause trouble for us again
Leaving this sentence to Christo, Robert walked out of his study without caring about the rest, while Christo sat in the chair tiredly.
At this time, Christo's cell phone suddenly rang, Christo picked it up and answered it. A sarcasm came from the other side of the phone: Hey Ms. Adams, are you still worried about Edward and Louis going to San Francisco? Please forgive me, you really don't have to be so nervous, because they are just in a hurry to seek medical treatment, and there will be no chance.
Christo frowned and said dissatisfiedly: Carl, I hope you can respect me more, and I don’t want you to look down on Zhou Ming because he will bring us miracles, although I don’t know what method he will use.
I think you must have forgotten that you are not alone now. We are now the alliance between Adams and Rockefeller. Even the president has no way to deal with us. What else can he do if a Chinese person do? Carl said very disdainfully, so I think you should stay away from that little witch. Look, she will turn you into a timid woman as a mouse.
I hope you can pay attention to my words and the Chinese, otherwise you will pay a heavy price for your contempt. Christo said.
