Chapter 384 Gift of Knife

Zhao Nan couldn't help but feel moved. Fang Mingyuan's words could be said to clearly explain his judgment on the situation in the Gulf in complete vernacular. Although it was very simple, these three reasons could fully support his decision.

The argument is made. The wars between countries in this world can be described in two words - interests! As long as there are enough interests, the British will immediately start a civil war. Zhao Nan is not surprised!

If these words were said by the political commissar Lu Liang, he would only smile knowingly, and the political commissar would think of him again. But if a teenager who is not yet a minor says it, it is completely different.

After he learned that Iraq invaded Kuwait and the United States sent troops to the Middle East, he thought about it for a long time before coming to this conclusion. Well, Zhao Nan admitted that during that time, he was still thinking about it.

I have been racking my brains to raise funds and save money. I don’t have much time to spare every day and think about the situation in the Middle East. But after all, I am a professional soldier and a general. I can see things that ordinary people can’t see.

, you can know many military secrets that are unknown to ordinary people. If you don’t have these materials for reference, do you dare to make such a judgment?

Especially the third point mentioned by Fang Mingyuan really spoke to Zhao Nan's heart. As a general guarding the border and coastal defense, Zhao Nan paid special attention to the military intelligence of the Japanese and Americans. The Americans

He also knew more or less about the cutting-edge weapons that had been developed but had not yet been tested in actual combat.

As Fang Mingyuan said, the United States went to war with Iraq. This war can be said to have many benefits for the Americans. Not only can those weapons and ammunition that are about to be scrapped be legally dumped on the heads of the Iraqis, but the war can also be avoided.

The huge destruction costs can also be used to openly experiment with new weapons, stimulate the production of domestic military enterprises, and help the weapons produced by the United States occupy a larger share of the world arms market. Once the cannon is fired, there is ten thousand taels of gold!

As a soldier, I have nothing to be proud of when I think of this, but how did a young man come to such a judgment? Could it be that this young man not only has amazing talents in business, but also in business?

Facing the complicated international situation, he also has talents that ordinary people cannot match? Thinking of this, Zhao Nan became even more interested in Fang Mingyuan.

Looking at Zhao Nan's eyes that were shining with strange light, Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but feel a little scared. He couldn't help but think back to everything he just said, and it seemed that he didn't say anything extraordinary. The reason why he said this was because he wanted to

Zhao Nan would like to remind you, if we can use Zhao Nan's words to make the top leaders in the country realize the great military and economic significance of this upcoming Gulf War and prepare for a rainy day, that would be great.

But that's it.

Although he does not think that the think tanks supported by the country are all just sitting on the table, he does not see the importance of this, nor does he think that among the millions of soldiers in the country, there are no people with far-sighted and far-reaching considerations.

In his previous life, he had experienced too many derogatory remarks from "brothers" and "callers". He was disgusted to the core with the sanctimoniousness of these elites. So he still wanted to use roundabout ways to raise the issue to the upper class.

Wake up.

It's just that these words are not suitable to mention to Su Huandong. After all, he is not a soldier. It is taboo for soldiers to interfere in politics. It is also disliked for irrelevant government personnel to point fingers at the military. As for the three families of Lu, Mei and Chai, what can they really do?

He has not yet met any big boss who can talk to the military, so for now, Zhao Nan is quite suitable.

Just look at him, when military expenditures are so tight, he still does everything possible to ensure the training of the army, you can understand that this is a qualified soldier who is always vigilant against foreign enemies, and as a member of the navy, even

He cannot be called the youngest, but he is also a very young general. His future can be said to be bright. If he can make suggestions to the upper echelons of the Navy or even the Ministry of National Defense, it will surely be more weighty than speaking out himself.

"How about it? Are you interested in applying for the military academy in the future, becoming a glorious soldier, galloping on the sea, and protecting the motherland's borders?" Zhao Nan said solemnly.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan opened his mouth in surprise, why did Zhao Nan suddenly say such a sentence.

Seeing Fang Mingyuan's surprised look, Zhao Nan realized that what he said might not be appropriate. Judging from the news he knew, Fang Mingyuan was probably the core member of the newly rising Fang family. Among these members of the Fang family,

, the two old people don't seem to be in charge of things. Fang Mingyuan's parents have always been in that small town called Haizhuang. Only his second uncle and younger uncle are in the family business, but one is a deputy in Carrefour supermarket, and the other is

He was helping Yu Qiuxia in Hong Kong. He asked him to give up his family's property and become a soldier. Even if he agreed, it was absolutely impossible for his family to agree. Maybe it would make other members of the Fang family hate him.

Feeling dissatisfied.

"A joke, a joke!" Zhao Nan quickly laughed. God knows how long this military budget crunch will last, so it is still very important to have a good relationship with the Fang family. At least in the past few years, he has asked his grandfather to tell him

Grandma, the funds I got from begging for alms are less than a quarter of the Fang family’s loan this time.

The two of them just stood on the bow of the boat, chatting casually. Naturally, their topics could not be separated from the development of Yalong Bay, Haitang Bay and the situation in the Middle East. The more Zhao Nan talked, the more frightened he became. This business issue

He is not good at things, and he can't tell them from east to west. Out of his trust in Mingyuan's business talent, he doesn't care too much about the possibility of failure in the future development of these two bays. But regarding the situation in the Middle East and the future direction of the war,

He is now a professional.

Listening to Fang Mingyuan's speculations about the future war, combined with the military intelligence he could see, Zhao Nan felt more and more that it would be a pity if Fang Mingyuan did not serve as a soldier in the future.

In the middle of the ship, Qi Yan was holding on to the railing and watching the two people chatting and laughing at the bow of the ship.

"Sister Qi, what are you standing here looking at?" Luo Dongwu said a little strangely, there is nothing worth paying attention to here. And Qi Yan is not like Fang Mingyuan and the others. They have never been on a warship and are curious about everything.

"Dongwu, how did you educate that brat from the Fang family? How did you get such an opportunity with Commander Zhao?" Qi Yan pursed her lips towards the bow of the ship. Only then did Luo Dongwu notice the two people standing at the bow of the ship.

People couldn't help but be surprised by this.

Qi Yan knew very well that even though Zhao Nan was always polite to her, in essence, he didn't like her. He believed that his smuggling was poaching the country and disrupting the country's normal market order. It was just because

I came here on behalf of the Northwest Military Region, and the current shortage of military expenditures in the army is a real problem that no one can deny. The northwest region is located in an underdeveloped area of ​​China, where the military is engaged in business and also obtains local income.

The profit is not much. Moreover, I am relatively cautious in smuggling. Even though the profits are extremely high, I do not get involved in commodities that are strictly prohibited by the country. That is why I turn a blind eye to what I am doing. But this is not

It doesn't mean that he has any good impression of himself.

This time, thanks to Fang Mingyuan, as the matchmaker, she received much better treatment from Zhao Nan and Luliang.

But compared with Fang Mingyuan, Qi Yan felt that she had failed to the extreme. In just a few meetings, Fang Mingyuan was able to build such a harmonious relationship with Zhao Nan, a dignified naval general.

"Hmph, if we can also lend 40 million yuan to the Yazhou Naval Base, I guess General Zhao will not be the same as before." Luo Dongwu said angrily, "He is a wealthy young man who is generous, how can we compare?

Come on." He is willing to spend 50 million yuan to rent a small island for seventy years. In Luo Dongwu's view, he is just a prodigal!

"It's not like we didn't send money to General Zhao before, but when did Commander Zhao accept it?" Qi Yan asked angrily. If things were as simple as Luo Dongwu said, then it would be easier. Luo Dongwu blinked.

, no words.

At this time, I saw a jeep coming from the dust, driving until it was under the destroyer, and then stopped. The officer just now, carrying a long box, ran three steps at a time, two steps at a time, and ran up

The boat came. When he came to Zhao Nan, he stood at attention and presented the box with both hands.

Zhao Nan smoothly took the box and said with a smile: "Thank you, everything is fine here!" The officer saluted and turned away.

Fang Mingyuan looked at the long wooden box with a look of doubt in his eyes. Could it be that?

Zhao Nan turned around, put the wooden box into Fang Mingyuan's hand and said: "I want you to call me Uncle Zhao. This uncle must have some greeting gifts. This is a pistol captured by the commander during the Anti-Japanese War.

The saber was later given to me as a gift. I don’t have anything good here, so just accept it!”

Sure enough, it was a knife! Fang Mingyuan was immediately happy!

Although the Tang Dao was born out of China, it is very different from the Tang Dao. Generally, the blade of the Tang Dao is very narrow, but due to the use of fine steel as raw material, the forging and quenching processes are very sophisticated.

, so the strength is very high, the blade is sharp, and the wavy knife pattern is clearly visible; the scabbard and handguard are exquisite in appearance, and are regarded as treasures by knife makers from all over the world. Especially one captured from an officer of the Japanese army invading China

Saber, that has even more historical significance.
