  "Haha, I...I told you so? People who study abroad can't possibly have such insight and understanding of international military affairs." Upon hearing Feng Si Zhe change his tone, Zu Jie smiled to himself.

  "So you agree with Zhao Zhongjiang and Zhao Shilang's idea?" Duanyun Yue, who had been silent all along, suddenly asked. It was clear that he had read the article by Zhao Zhongjiang and his son about localized modern warfare in the Gulf.

  Feng Si Zhe smiled at the question raised by Duan Yunyue, "It's not whether I agree with this idea or not, but that this war is bound to break out. The main purpose of Iraq's occupation of Kuwait is to: through the occupation of Kuwait, wipe out the huge debt owed to Kuwait and use this 'gold vault' to solve the severe crisis brought to the national economy by the 8-year Iran-Iraq War. Occupying Kuwait can improve its naval activity area and sea lanes for oil exports and other foreign trade, resolve the long-standing border dispute between the two countries and the oil development disputes in the border areas, and 'kill a chicken to scare monkeys', playing a deterrent role to the Gulf states and other Middle Eastern countries, paving the way for its contention for leadership in the Arab world and dominance in the Middle East."

  After saying this, Feng Sizi paused for a moment and continued: "The Iraqi armed occupation of Kuwait will trigger the Gulf Crisis and become the direct fuse of the Gulf War. In addition to this time they are vying for oil, which is comparable to gold, it is natural that war will break out sooner or later. It's just a matter of timing, and when that happens, the United States should not unexpectedly participate in the war, as they cannot miss out on such a win-win situation with great benefits and no losses. Looking at the geographical situation, large-scale battles are unlikely to occur due to geographical constraints, and only local wars will play the most advantageous role."

  Based on his past life's understanding of the Gulf War, Feng Ziche was talking eloquently. These were perspectives that weren't written in the article, and it was precisely this that shocked everyone present, especially Duan Yuntiao who didn't understand the general trend and couldn't help but utter a sentence of complaint, "Is it really true?"

  "What Feng Sizi said makes a lot of sense." These words were spoken by Duan Yunyue himself.

  As the chief of staff of the Capital Military District, he clearly understood these things more than others. Just now, he clearly heard Feng Sizu's analysis, and for a moment, he felt enlightened, listening to Feng Sizu's analysis, Iraq and Kuwait would eventually go to war, and the Gulf War would also erupt sooner or later.

  "Feng Siche, when do you think this war will break out?" Duan Yunyue, who was very interested in Feng Siche's words, couldn't help but ask another question.

  Duan Yunyue's words caused everyone to focus their attention on him, and since Feng Sizi had predicted that this war would come sooner or later, he should have been prepared long ago.

  Feng Sizi sat there and calculated the date, knowing that according to historical trajectory, this war would end in a month and a half, but he didn't dare confirm if history would still follow this path. So he conservatively said, "It should be within six months, and if it's fast, it might be within three months."

  "Why are you so sure?" Duan Yunyue was a person who didn't speak much, but when he did, he had the spirit of breaking the pot to ask to the bottom.

  "Analysis, everything comes from analysis. Recently I was still in contact with some British classmates, among them many military enthusiasts, and from the information they fed back to me..." Feng Sicheng nodded, saying without any doubt. At this time, he could only push the matter onto his far-off British classmates, after all, none of these people knew each other, so it was unlikely that anyone would go find them as witnesses for this matter.

  Feng Siche's answer made Duan Yunyue nod immediately. "Maybe you and your classmates are right."

  Duan Yunyue's brief words were enough to leave others speechless. When it comes to military matters, Duan Yunyue is undoubtedly the authority among them, and since he has acknowledged that Feng Siche is right, how can they possibly object? What can they even object to?

  "Feng Si Zhe, according to what you said, once the war breaks out, won't oil become a scarce commodity and its price skyrocket?" Duan Yun Peng was born to be a businessman. After hearing about the war, he wasn't thinking about whether Feng Si Zhe's words were reasonable or not, but rather whether the price of oil, currently the world's most scarce substance, would rise.

  Duan Yunpeng's question made Feng Sizi look at him with a high eye, this person is still very sensitive to business opportunities. This was what Feng Sizi thought in his heart, today's events have already been discussed, and this issue cannot be avoided either. "Hmm, Yunpeng is right, that's the way it is."

  "Wow!" As soon as Feng Sizhe nodded in agreement, Duan Yunpeng excitedly shouted. He was thrilled to have found an opportunity to make a fortune for himself.

  Watching Duan Yunpeng's excitement, Feng Zhe also smiled, thinking that the oil futures money wasn't just for one person to make. At this moment, he could help him out a bit without losing anything himself and gain some goodwill from the other party - it was a good thing. "How about it? Yunpeng, what do you plan to do?"

  "Brother, aren't you planning to buy more gasoline and store it somewhere? Where are you going to put all this stuff?" Duan Yun Tao also noticed his brother's interest in petroleum and couldn't help but ask.

  "Haha." Upon hearing Duan Yuntao say this, Feng Sicheng couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who knew that Duan Yuntao had such an adorable side to him?

  "You... what are you laughing at?" Facing Feng Si Zhe, Duan Yun Tao always felt that he was at a disadvantage. The first time they met, he ended up in a bad situation and had to call his brother for help, but instead of being angry, his brother treated Feng Si Zhe with courtesy and respect. The second time was just now when he tried to interrogate Feng Si Zhe about the Gulf War, but unexpectedly, his older cousin Duan Yun Yue intervened on his behalf, leaving him feeling foolish again. Now, he asked his brother if it was true that they had bought oil before the war, but instead of getting a straight answer, Feng Si Zhe just laughed at him. For a moment, he really felt like this person was his nemesis, sent by heaven to torment him.

  "I'm laughing at something, ask your brother what I'm laughing at." When Duan Yun Tao asked this, Feng Si Zhe shook his head. This Duan Yun Tao's sensitivity to business was not even half of his brother's.

  "Brother?" Upon hearing Feng Si Zhe say this, Duan Yun Tao fixed his gaze on his older brother Duan Yun Peng.

  "Hey, little brother, there are some things you don't understand, so don't talk nonsense, it's embarrassing." He shook his head like Feng Sicheng, then the birthday star turned to Feng Sicheng and said: "Feng Sicheng, I believe in you. Since you predicted that this war will break out soon, you must have made preparations in this regard. Are you going to make a big profit? How about it, do you have confidence in our cooperation?"
