Chapter 1067 Future War

When they arrived at the reservoir, several people from Daliang went to find a suitable location to make a nest. Yang Dongxu and Zhou Ya, with their son who kept reaching out to grab the leaves on the roadside out of curiosity, walked south along the reservoir for a distance. They came to a cleared open space.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people working on the open space. It was obviously impossible to live here and hide from the world. Besides, the three old people were not fit to live in that kind of simple thatched house.

So the construction target here was a wooden building, which was a higher grade than the wooden house mentioned by Xiaocheng. I guess he was too busy to come and see it during this period, so the information was a little unequal.

"In this direction, it's actually not bad to build a small wooden house at a distance. It's very suitable for a family to come and play on weekends when they have nothing to do.

It's not far from the farmhouse below for dinner. The houses in this direction can see the sun first in the morning. Going out to build a small platform is very artistic, whether it's to get a small stool to fish or to accompany the family to see the scenery." This is Zhou Ya's first time to this place.

After all, the facilities on the reservoir side have been repaired, but many places are still not repaired, so the opening is limited to the lower half and the farmhouse. There was no road here before, so he didn't come up to see it.

And the place that can be favored and interested by several old men, whether it is the Feng Shui theory of Mr. Xuan, the theory of nourishing qi of Mr. Sun, or the scientific argument of Zhou Yiren's sun-facing light, this place is an excellent place.

The house faces the sun and the water. Although there are no mountains behind it, there are trees. Although it is autumn now and the color of the forest is a bit bleak, it still has a unique charm. Especially in the morning when the water vapor rises from the lake, it is really a pleasure to stay here for a few days.

"Go back and talk to my little sister to see how he plans it. Anyway, the construction team has it ready. But the wooden houses built later will be farther away from the old man, otherwise they will definitely not be happy." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"You kid has a bit of sense." A voice came from the grove. Of course, Mr. Xuan was the one who spoke so impolitely.

At this time, Old Man Xuan was dragging a few bamboos that were not very thick in his hand, but from the color of the bamboo, you can tell that although the thickness is not good, the age of these bamboos is not low.

Such bamboos have a common feature, that is, they are tough and are the best material for making booms. Now everyone likes carbon fiber booms, big cannons and lures. Obviously, they are not in the eyes of the old man, so he prefers to make his own booms when fishing.

However, when he saw the little Wenchen in Yang Dongxu's arms, Old Man Xuan felt that he didn't want to hold the bamboo in his hand for a moment. The expression on Yang Dongxu's face that was not a face and a nose that was not a nose instantly turned into a smiling face.

He came over and took the little guy over regardless of whether Yang Dongxu agreed or not. The little guy was obviously very familiar with this old man, and he stretched out his hand to pull his beard while babbling in his mouth. Old Man Xuan kept shaking his head and compared the old and the young, who were having a lot of fun.

"When did you come back?" Zhou Yiren and Sun Banxian also walked out of the woods behind them.

Sun Banxian carried a bamboo basket on his back. In the eyes of such an old Chinese doctor, everything is medicine. He obviously went to the back to collect medicine. Zhou Yiren was discussing something with him just now. Obviously, this father-in-law has gradually entered the retirement mode. He no longer racked his brains to focus on those complicated international events.

"Just came back yesterday." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"Is there nothing big in the United States?" Although he tried his best to enter the retirement mode, how could he just let go of the country's affairs.

"The Americans' attention is all in the Middle East, which has nothing to do with us. But someone may be in trouble." Yang Dongxu said.

"Are the Americans going to use force again?" Zhou Yiren raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Ya glared at her husband unhappily. Her father finally began to slowly and peacefully retire. Yang Dongxu talked about national affairs again without saying a few words.

"It is estimated that there is a high possibility. The US economy seems to be booming in recent years, but in fact, internal conflicts have been constant. In addition, the new president will definitely make some trouble when he takes office, and foreign wars have always been a means for them to use." Yang Dongxu was a little embarrassed by Zhou Ya's glare.

But the words have come to this point. If he doesn't say anything, the silver-haired father-in-law in front of him will definitely not be able to get around him. So he can only laugh dryly and continue talking.

"Do you think the Americans will take action against that country?" Zhou Yiren seemed to have entered the national think tank mode again in an instant.

"Iraq?"

"Why?"

"The continuation of the Gulf War. The war seems to be over, but the problem has not been completely solved. Moreover, Iraq is too close to their strategic center, and President Saddam has never been very friendly to the Americans."

"That's a powerful country in the Middle East!" Zhou Yiren's face became much more serious.

Iraq is not a small role in the Middle East, let alone a soft persimmon. They have people and guns, otherwise the entire Middle East would not have been afraid to provoke them. Using force against such a country is definitely not the same as the previous Gulf War, which was more of a strategic threat.

"That's why it's more symbolic. Even Iraq has been defeated. How dare those other little brothers in the Middle East get angry?"

The Middle East has always been regarded by the Americans as a large oil depot for their country. They think so and do so. And there are many powerful fighters in the Middle East.

But the Middle East is obviously not the Middle East that the United States has the final say, even if Russia is excluded. The European countries that are NATO allies of the United States also have their own interests in the Middle East.

In addition, some other countries with good military strength feel that they have the final say in their own countries' oil. The situation in the entire Middle East is actually very complicated.

But it is precisely because of this complexity that the United States is more likely to launch this war, not to mention that there is now a good excuse for terrorism.

But what the Americans never expected was that Iraq was indeed as they imagined, although it had strong military power. But it was still quickly taken down by the US military.

But this move of shaking the tiger and shaking the mountain worked for a much shorter time than expected, and the effect was not as great as expected. After Iraq fell, there was another powerful man like Libya's Gaddafi.

After Gaddafi fell, there was Syria, and then there was a stronger country like Iran. In short, even if the United States invested more and more troops in the Middle East, the result was still not the goal of the Middle East that he had the final say. Instead, the situation in the entire Middle East became more and more uncertain with the development of the world, and even made the United States feel that it was slowly losing control.

But it must be said that the United States conquered Iraq, even though it did fall into a quagmire afterwards. But in a short period of time, it did achieve its strategic goals and caused irreversible changes to the world pattern and the Middle East environment. It cannot be considered a failure, but at least it was a quick money-making venture. It was just that the subsequent changes changed the situation, and it was not as much as imagined.

He naturally had no time to do anything else when he was talking about politics with his father-in-law. After the conversation, Zhou Yiren hurried to his room in the farmhouse downstairs and started making phone calls, checking information and looking for people to negotiate. It made Zhou Ya look at him with a bit of a sense of settling accounts later.

"With the recent change of power imminent, all kinds of demons and monsters have jumped out. It's good to have such a big thing for them to worry about. So that they don't have too much time to think about how to calculate their own people."

"Nothing will happen?" Zhou Ya was shocked.

"The war in the Middle East has nothing to do with us. The country cannot send coalition forces to work with the Americans. There is no possibility of sending troops to aid Iraq, so just watch them fight. The biggest impact is oil reserves and the international oil market.

But these are not what we should care about. You don't have to worry about Dad. The war will not start in a short time. Dad probably just lists the possibilities, and there will be someone in charge later, so it won't be too tiring."

"What about the Middle East?" Zhou Ya didn't finish her words.

But Yang Dongxu already understood what she meant. Although Yang Dongxu had never been to the Middle East. But as Yang Dongxu's wife, she was the helmsman of many industries before.

She knew exactly how much her husband valued the Middle East, not to mention that Du Suo and others have been hanging around in the Middle East for many years. Now they have made a lot of reputation. From that perspective, it seems that Yang Dongxu doesn't care about the Middle East on the surface, but in fact he has always maintained channels that can be entered at any time.

"There are definitely troubles, but they are not so urgent. Didn't I just say that? The situation seems to be very tense now, but war cannot be started at will.

Even if the United States loves to fight, the benefits that can be obtained through coercion and negotiation are always more cost-effective than using force and spending military expenses to achieve the goal, right?

So if we really have any plans, we have a lot of time to plan. Whether there will be a war or not, we still have to get the benefits that should be taken. There is no reason to operate for so long without making a penny and even losing money." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Zhou Ya glanced at him and didn't say anything, but she couldn't hide a little pride in her eyes. After all, the young guy in front of her was her husband, the person she loved the most.

This guy is obviously just a businessman, but he can get benefits from the mouth of a world power like the United States. This is definitely something she is proud of.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. Since we are out to play, we must have fun. Let's go to the shallow water next to us to pick some snail heads, take them back, spit out the mud, put in big spices and big bones, and stew them. It is definitely a good dish to go with wine." Yang Dongxu pulled Zhou Ya down to the shallow water area.

There is nothing to worry about for my son losing an old man Xuan. Besides, this is our own territory and there is no danger. There are no ferocious beasts in the woods. Little Wenchen still walks a little unsteadily and is not as energetic as when he ran around and adults couldn't catch up.
