China Overseas.
Located at the westernmost end of the capital area, to the west of the Palace Museum and Jingshan Mountain, it covers a total area of nearly 1 million square meters and a water area of about 460,000 square meters. It is one of the most mysterious places in China.
Its history can be traced back to the Liao and Jin Dynasties. During the Liao Dynasty, it was called Yaoyu, a place specially for the Liao emperor to travel and enjoy the scenery.
After large-scale construction in the Jin Dynasty, pavilions, towers, palaces and gardens rose from the ground in the center of the island. It was named Daming Palace and later changed to Wanning Palace.
During the Yuan Dynasty, renovations were carried out on the original basis, and rare and precious stones were transported from all over the country. They were carefully carved and laid out, so that the peaks and the strange stones were reflected, and the clear water and the blue sky were intertwined, making it as beautiful as a landscape painting.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, architectural technology became more mature, and the water area was expanded to form the Central Sea, South Sea and North Sea. Some old buildings on the island were uniformly repaired and rebuilt.
In modern times, until the establishment of the Huaxia government, Zhonghai basically remained in its original state, with only some old buildings being rebuilt and some buildings that could not be repaired being demolished.
There are many scenic spots in Zhonghai, the most famous of which are Qinzheng Hall, Regent Palace, Jinggu, Fengze Garden, Jiao Garden, Shuiyun Pavilion, Yingtai, etc. Every building has a long cultural history, and some buildings have left a deep mark in China.
For example, Yingtai, a fairy island in the South China Sea west of the Forbidden City, took place a famous historical event. The puppet emperor Guangxu was imprisoned by Cixi on this island and was eventually poisoned to death.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after going through layers of inspection, Mo Zhexuan finally stepped into this royal garden that carries thousands of years of history and vicissitudes.
"Secretary Yuan! After I finish talking to Comrade Xixian, can I go visit some of the buildings?"
In fact, Mo Zhexuan has always wanted to visit the royal gardens in Zhonghai, but it is not open to the public. After all, all important state agencies of various departments of China are here, and it is impossible to enter without a permit.
"That should be no problem. I'll send a comrade to show you around later."
As Comrade Xixian's full-time secretary, Yuan Zhiqiang naturally knew the status of the young man in the old man's heart. He was just taking a tour, which was no problem.
The two were chatting about the scenery in Zhonghai in the Hongqi car, and before they knew it, the car stopped in front of an ancient and elegant building.
The three big characters "Huairen Hall" on the sign in front of the building are powerful, elegant and graceful, full of historical and cultural atmosphere, which shocks people's souls.
After entering here, the search became more strict. Mo Zhexuan was checked almost all over his body, and finally came to an antique office.
"Comrade Xixian!"
"Mr. Mo! Are you used to living in the capital?"
The two shook hands and sat down on the red sofa respectively. Then they drank the precious Dahongpao, smoked cigarettes and chatted about all sorts of things.
"So who do you think will lose or win in a war between Iran and Iraq, two powerful Middle Eastern nations?"
The old man narrowed his eyes slightly. Now he no longer dared to underestimate this young man. Not only did he have a unique strategic vision, but he also often saw problems directly and got to the heart of the matter. He was a rare talent.
"In the war between Iran and Iraq, I believe both countries are complete losers. Four years have passed since the war broke out in 1980. Both countries have expended countless manpower, material, and financial resources, and the war is still at a stalemate."
"The fundamental reason is that behind this is a game between major powers. Behind Iran stands the polar bear, and behind Iraq stands the United States. Both superpowers want to increase their influence in the Middle East in order to control oil."
"So if you ask who the real winners are, then the polar bears, the United States, and even China, who are profiting from the war by selling weapons, are the biggest winners. Iran and Iraq are the biggest losers."
After a brief thought, Mo Zhexuan expressed his point of view. Looking at the problem from the perspective of future generations, it is almost clear at a glance. The Iran-Iraq War not only made the polar bears and the United States earn a lot of money, but also allowed China to earn a lot of money and have the capital for reform and opening up.
"Then how long do you think the war between the two countries can last?" A hint of appreciation flashed in the old man's deep eyes, and then he asked a key question. China has just tasted the sweetness of making money from the war and does not want to lose this huge profit so soon.
"I suspect the war will last another four years. The reason is that the two countries are of similar strength. Iraq's leader, Sadamu, is a true tyrant who has long harbored ambitions to dominate the Middle East. Meanwhile, Iran's new leader, Khomeini, is no pushover. With both sides being equally matched, peace talks won't be a quick solution."
Mo Zhexuan gave an exact time without much thought. This is the benefit of being reborn. It can be said that he is a prophet and a true genius.
"Xiaoxuan! I am amazed by your strategic vision. What do you think about the war in Afghanistan launched by the polar bears?" The old man lit another cigarette, took a deep puff, and crossed his legs.
"I believe the polar bear is doomed to return empty-handed. Not only will this war result in heavy losses, but its national strength will also be severely weakened. It will no longer have the strength to compete with the United States."
"The Polar Bear's army is said to be invincible. The rolling torrent of steel makes countless European countries tremble in fear. Do you really have such low hopes for them?"
"Afghanistan is not an easy place to conquer. First, its geography is extremely complex. Although the polar bears initially occupied major cities and transportation routes, the real resistance forces, relying on weapons and equipment provided by the United States, have been using guerrilla tactics based on favorable terrain. Coupled with the unique climate, the polar bears are now deeply mired in the quagmire of war. Continuing to fight will only lead to greater losses."
“...............”
The old man was full of admiration. At the age of twenty-something, he had such insights and such a broad perspective. No wonder he could accomplish such a big career in just a few years. His future is limitless!
"Xiaoxuan! I won't beat around the bush. Actually, I came here today to ask you something. Our people discovered a secret military base on Lamma Island. We suspect you're the one behind this."
