The rise of great powers: starting from military industry

The wind stopped and the rain stopped.

Liu Tao hugged his beautiful wife, and the two whispered some private secrets.

Liu Tao was obviously in a very good mood and in high spirits.

He had been paying attention to the Gulf War and the international crude oil futures market.

The large-scale strategic bombing of the multinational coalition shocked Liu Tao, because Liu Tao had never seen such a large-scale strategic bombing except in the Gulf War.

After experiencing this era in person, Liu Tao understood why many people thought that the US military was much weaker than during the Gulf War 20 or 30 years later.

It was indeed that the US military was too fierce in the Gulf War!

In this case, the possibility of Iraq winning was really slim.

According to the intelligence Liu Tao had, after more than half a month of war, Iraq's air defense weapons had been basically consumed.

This can be seen from the smoke billowing in Baghdad and the bombing of many famous buildings into ruins.

It was really too horrifying that the multinational coalition carried out a long-term and large-scale bombing.

All the airports in Iraq were bombed into ruins. The Iraqi air force lost almost all its aircraft. Even if there were aircraft hidden, there was no runway to take off.

All the power stations in Iraq were bombed.

All the schools and hospitals in Iraq were also bombed beyond recognition and in ruins.

Almost all the radar positions and air defense positions in Iraq were destroyed.

The Iraqi navy was destroyed again when it launched the death charge.

One warship after another was destroyed.

Although it also caused some casualties to the coalition navy, it also announced the destruction of the Iraqi navy.

The air force and navy suffered a devastating blow. It can be said that only the army is left in Iraq now.

Liu Tao was in a good mood because now the delivery has begun in the international futures market.

Now the international crude oil price has dropped to $25 per barrel, which means that the money in hand is half-earned!

Many individuals and investment institutions that are long international oil futures have gone bankrupt. I don’t know how many people have committed suicide by jumping off buildings during this period.

When shorts make a profit, it means that longs lose.

When shorts are reveling, it means that longs go bankrupt and jump off buildings.

This is the law of the market!

When the Gulf War broke out, it is estimated that no one in the world would have thought that the Americans would suppress oil prices at all costs and release strategic oil reserves on a large scale.

The US Navy was severely damaged, which not only did not cause the international crude oil price to rise rapidly, but made the Americans unprecedentedly united, and the US government increased the release of strategic oil reserves.

And now Americans are supporting the Gulf War, and the voice of bombing Iraq back to the Stone Age is resounding throughout the United States.

The belligerence in the bones of Americans has been stimulated.

It is said that the United States is the most warlike country in the world, and that is really not groundless.

Zhu Lin lay on Liu Tao's chest, and the whole person looked lazy.

After moving to Kun City, I felt a little uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it later.

Although Liu Tao sometimes goes on business trips, he spends more time at the Panshan Group headquarters, and they spend more time together.

As for the school that the children attend, it is the Panshan Group Headquarters Primary School, and the education is not worse than that in Beijing.

Even the sports facilities here are more complete than those in Beijing, which is also helpful for children to train.

"The Iraqis are so miserable, and the Americans are so cruel. How dare they bomb schools and hospitals? Now tens of thousands of civilians have died!" After chatting for a while, Zhu Lin talked about the Gulf War, and the whole person became a little emotional.

She couldn't imagine that the United States, which clearly represents one of the most advanced civilizations in the world, had promised democracy, freedom, and humanitarianism, but how could it disappear all of a sudden.

This is really too cruel!

This reminded Zhu Lin of the fact that the US military used biological and chemical weapons and threw a large number of mines in the Vietnam War.

Liu Tao curled his lips.

What kind of father you have, what kind of son you have.

Look at what the American father did more than 30 years later and you will know.

Dogs can't change their eating habits!

No matter how beautiful the skin is, it can't cover up the nature of robbers and pirates.

"So, the moon in foreign countries is not necessarily rounder than that in China, and the golden nest and dog nest are not as good as our own nest. We should honestly build China well." Liu Tao said.

Zhu Lin agreed with deep conviction.

Because of Liu Tao, she has been to Hong Kong and Macau, but she has never been overseas.

It's not that she can't go, but it's risky and inappropriate.

Zhu Lin used to think that the United States was very good, and even thought that the United States was democratic and free, but later she found out that the United States emphasized freedom at the beginning, while the Soviet Union emphasized democracy.

And influenced by Liu Tao, she is not as naive as she was when she was a little girl, thinking that the propaganda was like that.

In the past ten years, Zhu Lin has also witnessed with her own eyes that China has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the speed of development is so fast that even the world is looking at it sideways.

Facts are facts, even if someone reverses black and white, it can't cover everyone's eyes.

After all, the eyes of the masses are sharp.

Zhu Lin stroked Liu Tao's chest with her jade hand and whispered: "I heard that Panshan Hospital will provide services to the outside world, and it will no longer be limited to the employees of Panshan Group?"

"Yes, it's time to provide medical services to the outside world and improve the medical conditions of residents." Liu Tao nodded.

This is the decision he made recently.

In the past, Panshan Hospital was only for Panshan Group employees, and they were internal employees.

However, with the strong will of the local government, it is strongly recommended every year. In addition, he also felt that the Panshan Hospital system was mature and it was time to change the original strategy, so a new decision was made this year.

In recent years, Panshan Group has invested a lot in Panshan Hospital. As a guarantee for the medical care of Panshan Group employees and surrounding military personnel, Panshan Hospital provides free medical care. With employee ID and military ID, you can get free medical care, even eating in the hospital is free.

There are currently more than 13 Panshan hospitals, with a large number of advanced medical equipment and a strong medical team. The number of employees in Panshan Hospital alone has reached 60,000.

Moreover, Panshan Hospital is one of the few hospitals in China that combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine. The hospital system is also very complete, and the talent team can be said to be very strong.

Speaking of which, the first year of China's medical reform was 1985!

So far, China's medical reform has been going on for 6 years.

"It can be regarded as Panshan Group's contribution to Huaxia Medical, helping to solve the problems of people's difficulty in seeing a doctor, hospitalization and surgery." Liu Tao said.

There is a lot of controversy about medical reform. Since 1985, the government has reduced its investment in medical care, and hospitals are responsible for their own profits and losses. Then there is the use of drugs to support doctors, that is, pharmaceutical companies support hospitals.

The latter is a complaint, the current personal experience,
