The car was driving up a mountain path, and there were some people hiking and hiking along the way. It is January now, and the temperature in Hong Kong Island is around 20 degrees, which is perfect for hiking and mountaineering.
After passing halfway up the mountain, the car turned into another small road. There was a road monument fifty meters away with the words "Private land not allowed to visit" written on it. After turning another corner, I saw a two-story small building.
The building stood in front, and there was a closed pavilion at the door. People were standing inside. When they saw the car approaching, they immediately opened the door.
This villa occupies less than an acre of land. The courtyard is small but very exquisite. It is surrounded by large trees and is well hidden.
"Mr. Liu, please come inside!"
Shao Mingtao opened the car door for Liu Lang. Liu Lang, Shao Mingtao and Sun Hu walked into the villa. As soon as they entered, they saw Du Huaiyi standing in the living room, but his right arm was fixed to his chest and he was obviously injured.
"Mr. Liu, I didn't go to greet you personally not because I didn't want to go, but because it was inconvenient. I'm sorry!"
Du Huaiyi smiled and said, he still had that calm expression.
"Gunshot wound?"
Liu Lang looked at it and asked.
"Yes, I was hit on the shoulder, but it's not a big problem. The bandage will be removed in ten days!"
"Where did you get hurt?"
Liu Lang then asked.
"Over there in the Middle East, it's just a stray bullet. It's nothing."
Iraq and Kuwait are at war, but now it is just frictional contact, not a full-scale war. Iraq's invasion of Kuwait will happen in August 1990, but the war between these two small countries is not interesting, but then the Americans' dispatch completely changed people's view of the war.
The concept of traditional war and the modern war model emerged.
Now Iraq and Kuwait are still maintaining a local war situation, which has given arms dealers around the world an opportunity. A large number of weapons are coming and going. Of course Du Huaiyi cannot let go of this opportunity, but places like that are full of dangers. People like Du Huaiyi
The injury from a stray bullet was still minor, but there was a chance that a shell would fly from there and he would be dead in a foreign land.
But it was obvious that Du Huaiyi had seen such things a lot, and there was no trace of nervousness on his face.
"Yes! Iraq and Kuwait have been having conflicts over the years. I think Iraq will launch a war this year. Kuwait is no match for them."
Liu Lang nodded slightly.
"Oh, Mr. Liu, you said that Iraq will launch a war this year? What is your basis?"
Du Huaiyi was very interested in Liu Lang's words.
"I am 100% sure. As for the basis, it is actually obvious. Iraq has long wanted to annex the other country and turn them into its 19th province. The key is time. But it will be over, probably in July, August or September this year.
"
"What's the result?"
Shao Mingtao asked from the side.
"The result is also very simple. Kuwait cannot defeat the opponent, and Iraq will occupy Kuwait in a very short time, maybe a day or two."
The real result was that it took Iraq only one day to occupy the entire territory of Kuwait. The battle was like a strong man beating a child, without any suspense.
"So...doesn't that mean that the country of Kuwait has disappeared from the world?"
Du Huaiyi asked again.
"It can't disappear. I personally think that the United States will unite its allies for military intervention. As long as the United States joins the war, Iraq will be finished!"
"It's over? I don't think so!"
Du Huaiyi shook his head slightly.
"I do hope that the Americans will join the war, because then they will be dragged into a protracted tug-of-war by the other side like the Soviet Union was on the battlefield in Afghanistan ten years ago, and they will not be able to get rid of it even in ten years. Think about it, the Soviet Union was
How powerful it is, but its opponent is only poor Afghanistan. The gap is so huge that it is far better than the United States and Iraq now. The former has been fighting for ten years, but what about the latter? Twenty years?"
Du Huaiyi's words made Shao Mingtao nodded slightly, feeling that they made sense.
"Haha, you said that if the United States and Iraq go to war, the war will last for at least ten years, is that true?"
Liu Lang smiled.
"Yes, of course, ten years is just a rough prediction, but I predict it will not be less than three or four years, because there is a large area of desert there, and the desert will block the entry of American infantry. As long as the Iraqis deploy a large number of troops in the desert,
You can strictly guard against it, and Liu Lang, you have another reason that you have not considered, that is, American lives are very valuable. As long as the war reaches a stalemate and there are large casualties of soldiers, domestic opposition in the United States will begin, and then Bush will be under
Huge pressure, they don't want to go through a Vietnam War."
Du Huaiyi knows the United States very well and his words are well-founded.
"Well, you are right, but Brother Du, do you know what my analysis of this war is?"
"What is it?"
Both of them were very curious about the answer from Liu Lang, a forecasting expert.
"It's very simple. The United States will launch a war against Iraq, and then it will take at most three or four months to completely defeat the other side. The two sides are not on the same level at all."
Liu Lang's words shocked the two of them. Three or four months? Impossible.
"Two big brothers, this era is no longer the same. Modern warfare is not just about using aircraft and artillery. It is not about who can win by having more people. Modern warfare is information-based warfare. It uses satellites and electronic warfare to first 'blind' the enemy.
Seize air superiority with both eyes, use long-lasting air strikes and precise guidance to destroy important enemy military bases and facilities. As for the role of the infantry, it is very simple, just clean the battlefield."
"Electronic warfare? Information warfare?"
Both of them have never heard of these two terms.
Not to mention that they haven’t heard of it, even the top leaders of the country have not heard of it yet. Before electronic warfare and information warfare came out, few countries in the world would truly understand its meaning, because these two situations must be based on
Based on the developed electronic equipment and satellite systems, the development of electronic equipment in China is much stronger now than in previous generations.
, after all, there is an additional SMIC. The chip itself is an electronic device. Driven by the chip industry, many related industries have also developed. However, the country’s use of chips has not yet developed into the military industry, which involves weapon upgrades.
The problem is a huge system project that cannot be completed by installing a chip.
China's current understanding of war is actually still based on the war between China and the United States thirty years ago, which emphasized tactics and personnel quality and capabilities. This is a two-dimensional war concept, and the United States has now gradually entered the
There is a three-dimensional war, but there is a difference in dimension between the two. If they fight, it will be a dimension reduction attack, and you don’t have to think about the result.
Of course, it is useless for Liu Lang to discuss this matter with Du Huaiyi and Shao Mingtao now. Can a two-dimensional creature know what three-dimensional life looks like? It is obviously impossible.
