Rebirth of the Rising Sun

Chapter 11: A lot of pressure

"Believe me, Grandpa. Just hand in this document in your name, your uncle's and Mingyan's name. I guarantee that the Zhao family will benefit from it." Feng Sizhe knew that the first step to convince the old man was the reputation of the Zhao family. It can be said that what Grandpa paid most attention to in his life was how to carry forward the Zhao family. "Opportunities and risks coexist." After saying that, Feng Sizhe said this again, as if he was telling Lieutenant General Zhao that precious things are sought in danger. Moreover, even if the Gulf War had not happened in history, it would not have had much impact on Lieutenant General Zhao. After all, he is now the fourth commander of the Capital Military Region. This position is not low in the eyes of many people and needs to be looked up to, but it is not a particularly critical position in the eyes of national leaders. There are three people above him in the Capital Military Region alone, plus the political commissar, there are four people suppressing him. Although the level is already a full army and a minister, the actual power is much smaller. In peacetime, if a soldier wants to be promoted, especially at Grandpa's age, it is very likely that he will succeed if he does not take a little risk and do something that ordinary people cannot do.

When Lieutenant General Zhao heard the words "opportunities and risks coexist", he shuddered. To be honest, he was only a lieutenant general at the age of 60, and his life goal had faded a lot. He was just thinking about how to get a general when he retired. If Feng Sizhe's prediction in this document was correct, he would benefit greatly. It was not impossible to be promoted to a general in advance, and he might even get a higher position. His life would also have a big change. Maybe he could still work for another ten years or even have a great influence when he retired. Even if the prediction was wrong, it didn't matter. The worst plan was to retire at the position of lieutenant general, which was no big deal.

It was precisely because he could fight to the death that Lieutenant General Zhao finally nodded. Even if it was to show his support for his grandson, Lieutenant General Zhao had to take the lead this time, and even if he failed, he would have no regrets. I think Feng Sizhe would remember this favor, so he would still be the winner in the end.

"Well, then I will call your uncle and ask him to come back to sign, and I will send it up tomorrow." Lieutenant General Zhao made a firm decision and said to Feng Sizhe in a way that sounded like a guarantee.

"Okay!" Feng Sizhe nodded. He believed that the day of Zhao's fortune would come. "And this, Grandpa, this is my opinion on the domestic economic situation. Please take a look. If possible, I hope to publish it in some influential newspapers." As he spoke, Feng Sizhe handed over another document.

He glanced at the title "Economic Development, Reform and Opening-up, Healthy Development and Planning of the Securities Market". Lieutenant General Zhao was stunned when he saw this. As the guard of Chief Designer German General, he knew that the leaders were paying more attention to the securities market issues recently. Feng Sizhe could write articles on this subject, which seemed to show that he had a good vision.

"These are all my experiences based on some things I saw when I was in the UK. I think they can play a certain role in our country's securities industry." Feng Sizhe put forward the words he had thought of long ago.

Hearing Feng Sizhe's words, Lieutenant General Zhao nodded. Yes, his grandson had been to the UK, and he was also a financial economics and corporate management expert. He must have unique insights into the securities industry. Lieutenant General Zhao, who was not very familiar with this area and could not offer any opinions, did not look at the material too carefully, but put it aside. "Okay, I'll show this to a few experts tomorrow, and if it works, I'll post it on the internal reference."

Feng Sizhe was stunned when Lieutenant General Zhao said this. He must know what the internal reference is. It is a document within the party, an important document that the general secretary and the central leaders will read. It can be said that Lieutenant General Zhao nodded to Feng Sizhe and said that he would send this document to the internal reference, which was enough to show his trust in Feng Sizhe and that he was willing to make great efforts for the development of his grandson.

Feng Sizhe nodded to his grandfather again and walked out. When he went out, he heard his grandfather making a phone call, saying that he was looking for Zhao Wanjiang who was staying at the General Staff Guesthouse.

My uncle Zhao Wanjiang was originally the commander of the 18th Division of the Northeast Military Region, a division-level commander, which would be a full-time official in the local government. He was attending a military affairs meeting in the capital at this time, and was now staying in the guesthouse of the General Staff for work. When he heard that my father had summoned him, he immediately returned to the courtyard from the guesthouse.

Feng Sizhe only saw his uncle hurriedly enter the courtyard and came out again in less than an hour. His steps seemed to be hesitant and excited.

Feng Sizhe had no idea what was being taught in the Youth Class the next morning. He had been thinking about the impact of the two documents he had submitted on behalf of his grandfather, uncle, and himself. This was the first major thing Feng Sizhe had done after his rebirth. He hoped that history would not change and that his estimate was correct. Only in this way could Feng Sizhe's bet be right and his wish to carry forward the Zhao family would be realized.

Feng Sizhe, who had returned to the courtyard early to wait, was very disappointed. Grandpa and uncle did not come back home for lunch, and did not even call. This made Feng Sizhe's plan to know in advance what the effect of doing this would be wasted. It was not until the evening, when a car horn sounded outside the door, that Feng Zhe turned his serious eyes to the door of the courtyard, and then saw grandpa and uncle walking in from the gate with serious faces.

"Grandpa, uncle, what's wrong?" Yu Tian ran to the center of the yard and looked at his grandfather and uncle.

My uncle was stunned, then he lowered his head and said nothing. But my grandfather smiled at Feng Sizhe and said, "Haha, Zhe'er, I showed your document on securities to several economists. They all supported your arguments in the article and agreed that your article will be published in the internal reference tomorrow. Zhe'er, you are amazing."

Indeed, it is indeed remarkable that Feng Zhe, who is only 22 years old, can publish an article in the internal reference, and it is not a so-called small article, but on the contrary a large article with tens of thousands of words.

Feng Sizhe was very happy to hear that his manuscript was being submitted for internal reference. But he wanted to know what kind of response the military article about the Gulf War he wrote for his grandfather and uncle would cause, so Feng Sizhe just smiled and asked in a low voice: "Then, Grandpa, what is the attitude of the manuscript about the Gulf War?"

"Some people criticized us, saying that we are only interested in creating chaos in the world. Others said that there is no chance of a war in the Gulf and that the United States would not be so impulsive as to start a second Vietnam War." My uncle was frank and directly stated the opinions of some leaders of the Military Commission.

"Wan Yong, don't talk nonsense." Lieutenant General Zhao scolded his eldest son, then turned to Feng Sizhe and said, "It's okay, Zhe'er. It's normal to have different opinions when encountering problems."

"Well, please rest assured, Grandpa and uncle, I will not speak without a purpose. The war will definitely start. Just wait and see." When Feng Sizhe heard what Grandpa and uncle said, he knew that the article about the war must have been criticized by a member of the Military Commission. However, Feng Sizhe was not worried. He was even a little happy. The more different voices there were in such things, the more it proved that Grandpa and uncle were forward-looking. The only thing he was worried about was whether Grandpa and uncle could bear the pressure.

Looking at Feng Sizhe's confident eyes, Lieutenant General Zhao nodded again, "Well, your uncle and I have made preparations this time, so it won't be a problem."

Feeling his grandfather's doubly loving gaze, Feng Sizhe knew that his grandfather would never complain no matter what he did for him. As a result, he became more determined to make a name for himself. Even if it was for the Zhao family, he could not let his grandfather and others down for his grandfather's expectations of him.

Turning back to the house, Feng Sizhe wrote another article titled "Modernized Local Wars in Modern Perspectives - Military Revolution is Urgent". The main idea of ​​this article is that as a soldier, you must not use experience to talk about the world's military situation. With the continuous advancement of society, the form of war will become more complicated and confusing. Using old ideas to look at the new society will inevitably make the Republic's military stagnate. In order to keep up with the pace of the world's military, military revolution and military reform are urgent. What's different this time is that he also signed his name.
