Rebirth of the Rising Sun

A week later, Feng Sizhe had finished the first draft of his work. Feng Sizhe was still not used to writing with a pen. He was used to typing on a computer in his previous life, and now he suddenly felt a pain in his hands when he used a pen. Fortunately, his writing skills were good, so as long as he put pen to paper, he could write a very coherent and fluent article.

After dinner, Feng Sizhe took the fruits of his work over the past few days and went into his grandfather’s study.

Grandpa has been very satisfied with Feng Sizhe's performance during this period. In addition to the great change in Feng Sizhe's attitude towards himself, my daughter told me that even the teachers in the Youth Class of the Party School praised him several times, saying that Feng Sizhe's views on some issues are very novel, and often teachers and classmates feel their eyes brighten after listening to them. They also praised that college students studying abroad are amazing, and their perspectives and ways of thinking on issues are different from those of Chinese people.

Lieutenant General Zhao was naturally very happy to hear others praising his grandson. The next generation had a promising future, and General Zhao had a successor. He was much happier than when he was promoted to general. He was humming the national anthem in the study when he heard his wife calling out from outside the door, "Old man, your grandson is here to see you."

"Okay." He was happy to hear that his grandson was Lieutenant General Sun. He thought Feng Sizhe came to greet him as usual, but he didn't expect that he came with a document in his hand this time. "What's the matter, Zhe'er? What's the matter? What's in your hand?"

"Grandpa, please take a look at some of my grandson's immature ideas and open your eyes." After these days, Feng Sizhe also realized that the more casual he was with his grandfather, the happier he would be. If he was as respectful as his eldest uncle, second uncle, second aunt, and third aunt when he saw his grandfather, it would make the old man unhappy.

"Oh, it's what you thought. Haha, good progress." Seeing Feng Zhe holding these sample papers, Lieutenant General Sun thought they were some gifts from the Party School, so he took them with a smile, thinking that he would take a look at them when he had time. If they were well written, he would naturally have less time to brag in front of his old comrades.

Seeing Lieutenant General Sun taking the samples with a smile but not looking at them right away, Feng Sizhe couldn't help but chuckle, "Grandpa, can you take a look now? I'm waiting to hear your opinion."

"Oh, okay, okay." Seeing how serious his grandson was, Lieutenant General Zhao didn't know how to say anything else, for fear of discouraging the young man's enthusiasm, which would be bad.

He reached out and picked up the document, bringing it close to his eyes. Although Lieutenant General Zhao was already sixty years old at this time, his eyesight was still very good. He could clearly see the handwriting of Feng Sizhe on the sample paper without wearing reading glasses. Of course, this was also because Feng Sizhe's document was written neatly, without even any changes to the drawings, otherwise it would have been a headache if it was all cursive writing.

Lieutenant General Zhao took the document and glanced at it casually. The title alone gave him a big shock. "Gulf War Outlook - On the Importance of Air Dominance in Modern Local Wars and the Information Generation."

The Gulf War between Iraq and the United States in 91 was indeed a bright spot for the Republic. At that time, the Iraqi army was equipped with a large number of traditional Chinese and Soviet weapons. Many people thought that if the United States really intervened, the war might last for several years like the Vietnam War, and the United States would be completely trapped in the quagmire of this war. But no one expected that the United Nations army, which used the US military as an excuse, used the F-111 Black Widow stealth bomber to avoid Iraq's air defense radar. The American weapons with precision-guided weapons as the highlight hit the Iraqi army equipped with a large number of traditional Chinese and Soviet weapons. After only 0 days of efficient raids on Iraq, it took only four days to end most of the ground battles. It can be said that this high-tech local war did cause an uproar in the world military at that time. Even more did not pay special attention to modern warfare, and their thoughts were still in front of the older generation of soldiers who only had millet and rifles. They did not dare to imagine that if the target of the US attack was themselves at that time, then...

Later, as a social current affairs commentator, Feng Sizhe also had a detailed understanding of the content of the Gulf War, and was also terrified by the military modernization of the United States at that time. With the lessons learned from the past, Feng Sizhe wrote down his thoughts on this war in advance. Of course, Feng Sizhe made some changes in the content. Some of the words used in the 21st century are not recorded too much in this sample paper. Most of what is said are the views of some military experts in later generations. However, even such old views are still very useful now, and can play a good role in alerting contemporary soldiers.

Lieutenant General Zhao was first attracted by Feng Sizhe's title, and then he read it slowly. He read it very slowly and carefully, and Feng Zhe seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, so he was not in a hurry at all, but took a teapot next to his grandfather and poured himself some tea privately. To be honest, Feng Sizhe lived in the UK and was used to drinking red wine, especially Lafite red wine from Bordeaux, France, which he liked the most. But there was no such wine in the courtyard of this capital, only Moutai, which his grandfather liked to drink. To be honest, Feng Sizhe could also drink some of that wine. He had always been a big drinker, perhaps because of his good health. Usually, he could drink one or two kilograms of tea, but relatively speaking, Lafite was better. In the absence of Lafite, Feng Sizhe could only drink some tea. The tea here of his grandfather was the best Longjing, which was not something that could be bought casually outside. For this reason, Feng Sizhe didn't mind drinking some of this to refresh himself when he had nothing to do.

Feng Sizhe sat there quietly drinking Longjing tea, while his grandfather looked at the documents he was writing seriously like a student.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, nearly an hour had passed. During this time, grandma came in to see him twice. When she saw grandpa's focused expression, she tactfully left. She clearly remembered that grandpa had only shown this expression twice. Once was the most intense Huaihai Campaign in the civil war, when he received the order from his superiors to make the main attack, he had such an expression. Another time was in the early days of the Cultural Revolution, when he saw the report that the central government wanted to dismiss Deguo En, he had such an expression. She had never seen it again. Today, in peacetime, she saw the old man with this expression again, and she left the room in surprise. The two have been in love for so many years, and have reached a consensus on many things. They know what to say and what to do.

With a sigh, Lieutenant General Sun finally finished reading the document. He first looked at Feng Sizhe carefully, then asked, "The Gulf War hasn't started yet? How can you be so sure?"

"Grandpa, I will definitely fight you. Just trust me." Feng Sizhe knew that his grandfather would definitely ask this question, so he pretended to be very confident. "Don't worry, my mother got the news in England much earlier than we did, and it was much more accurate."

This excuse Feng Sizhe came up with was not very good. Isn't the Republic's intelligence department more clear than Feng Sizhe? This was just an excuse he made up to make his grandfather believe him. Thinking that he called his mother and said that buying more oil futures was information from China, and that he told his grandfather that the Gulf would definitely be attacked was information from the UK, this method of deceiving both sides would really make Feng Sizhe ashamed if it was exposed. But there was no way. He knew what would happen in the future, but he had to find other reasons to tell it, which was a difficult thing in itself.

Lieutenant General Sun looked carefully into Feng Sizhe's eyes, and could not find any trace of fear or panic in them. "Are you sure?"
