Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1137 Nuclear Crisis
"There are many, ranging from the absurd to the realistic. However, you will be in charge of the Nan family in the future, and your perception is more important than mine, so why not tell me what you are worried about first."
"Russia."
"Tell me more specifically."
"Since the Tsarist era, the Russians (ethnic group) have attached great importance to the role of the buffer zone. In the Far East , Russia's buffer zone was the four eastern provinces. After the October Revolution, it was shrunk to Outer Mongolia. Later, it supported the Kim family to annex the Korean Peninsula. The purpose was to create a stable buffer zone in the Far East."
Nan Yi frowned and interrupted Nan Youqiong, "You can skip the Far East and get straight to the point."
Nan Youqiong shrugged, "OK, I'll start with the current Russia. The five Central Asian countries in Central Asia are all landlocked countries with backward industrial capacity. They have always been more dependent on Russia economically. They are a stable buffer zone for Russia to guard against enemies from Iran and 'that place'."
Nan Yi smiled knowingly.
"In the Caucasus region, the three Transcaucasian countries are considered to be a relatively stable buffer zone, guarding against Iran and Turkey . Russia has put a lot of thought into South Ossetia. In the west, since Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia joined NATO in 2004, Russia's buffer zone in this direction has become unstable... [Later reviewed]"
Listening to Nan Youqiong's explanation of Russia's neighboring relations and the concept of a buffer zone, Nan Yi asked, "How likely do you think it is that something will go wrong?"
"Very big. Since 1991, Russia's economy has been in a mess. The first ten years were not worth mentioning. In recent years, with the soaring oil prices, Russia's economy has improved a little.
However, looking at the people's livelihood and economic policies formulated by the Kremlin, most of them lack foresight and are based on procrastination, which means piling up problems and postponing their outbreak until later.
With nuclear weapons in hand, Russia will not panic. When the conflicts within Russia begin to intensify, they will naturally transform internal conflicts into external ones.
Old Adam, I guess when the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out and the US economy falls into decline, Russia will start to take action. In the next 20 years, Russia will definitely not stop and may very well become a troublemaker. "
Nan Yi said: "So, you are optimistic about the oil trade in the next few years?"
Nan Youqiong nodded: "Yes, I plan to increase Nan's investment in oil trade and oil futures."
“We need to be cautious in oil trade.”
"I will communicate well with the oil consortium."
"Yes." Nan Yi nodded, "Russia is one of the causes, what else?"
"With the natural environment and the aging population, the forecasts of Shennong Nanliang and Freshwater Research Institute for the weather and freshwater conditions in the next 20 years are not very good. In the near future, a food crisis and a freshwater crisis are likely to break out. Once these two crises break out, the possibility of a large-scale war will reach its peak.
The basis for the Nan family to hold a large amount of land is the law. Once a war breaks out, the current law will be completely meaningless. The land may become the death warrant of our Nan family. Old Adam, we must prepare for a rainy day."
"Hahaha, you little bastard, you are so smart." Nan Yi laughed happily and said, "You only talked about the natural environment, what about the aging population?"
Nan Youqiong said solemnly: "When the population structure of countries around the world falls into the worst proportion, with many elderly people and insufficient backbone labor, and the previous social welfare cannot be sustained, the regimes of various countries are likely to deliberately start wars in order to maintain their rule and solve the crisis, while reducing the population in a targeted and quantitative manner and launching external plunder.
After the war, not only did the population burden of the victorious countries decrease, but also, with the plunder of resources and post-war economic reconstruction, they could slowly move towards the road of revival until the next cycle came.
"Don't talk about this conjecture anymore. Keep it to yourself. As you said, I have been preparing for the worst long ago. The Fan Shengzhi Research Institute studies food grown under extreme conditions and alternative food. The South Grain Reserve reserves food every year, and there is also a reserve fund plan. I left you several thousand tons of gold.
In addition, there are Meerkat Technology, Voyeurism Interest Group, Self-Destruction Interest Group, Winning Technology, and X Files. These have two preparations: one is to explore high-tech products, and the other is to defend themselves and fight back in extreme situations. "
"Gene & virus precision strike."
"Yes, I once thought about getting a few nuclear bomb briefcases back, but then I thought about it carefully. Not only would it easily lead to a catastrophe, but the deterrent effect would not be strong enough. It would be better to explore genes and viruses, angels and demons going hand in hand, saving people with the forehand hand and keeping them as a trump card with the backhand hand.
There have always been two teams working on the × file. The devil's part has always been managed by me personally, and it will be handed over to you in a few days. You should manage it yourself and don't delegate it to anyone else."
"OK."
Nan Yi clapped his hands, picked up a piece of mutton and handed it to Nan Youqiong, "Okay, the mutton is old, let's eat first."
Nan Youqiong took the mutton and said with a smile: "Old Adam, give me your best treasures. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you in order to become independent soon?"
"Haha, you're not that cruel, nor that stupid. I'm a very sensible person. I've retired to the second line in my early forties..." Nan Yi reached out and patted the back of Nan Youqiong's head. "Kill the hell, I'm not handing you the throne. You have a lot of responsibilities and obligations, but not much power. If you can handle it now, I'll stop interfering in Nan's affairs."
"I'm 23 years old and you still beat me." Nan Youqiong said pitifully.
"Alright, like a dragon, like a phoenix. You are the offspring of Scarlett and me, so you inherited a couple of bad habits. Stop acting pitiful."
The father and son played for a while, and after filling their stomachs, they played shooting games again.
A half-body target is placed 30 meters away. In the magazine of the Glock 17, tracer bullets and ordinary bullets are arranged in order. Two people take turns to shoot two shots in quick succession. The first tracer bullet is not counted in the score, and the second ordinary bullet is used for comparison. The closer to the center of the eyebrows, the higher the score.
Nan Yi came first, his first tracer bullet was very close to his forehead, and the second one missed the target directly.
"Ahaha, no problem."
Nan Youqiong aimed at the chest and pulled the trigger quickly. The first tracer bullet hit the chest, and the second ordinary bullet hit near the neck as the muzzle jumped up.
"How much does the neck count as?"
"Five points."
"5 to 0."
"Don't be happy too soon."
Raising the gun again, Nan Yi aimed at the neck and pulled the trigger. The first shot hit the neck and the second shot hit roughly the nose.
"7 to 5."
"Looks like I'm going to use my real kung fu."
"Stop bragging. I'm your shooting teacher. I know your level very well."
Nan Youqiong aimed at the neck and raised it an inch higher. "When a man has been away for three days, he should be treated with new eyes. I practice at home every day."
After saying that, Nan Youqiong pulled the trigger.
"13 to 8, I surpassed you again."
Nan Yi didn't reply, he just raised his gun and shot quickly.
"Right between the eyes, 18 to 13."
"Old Adam, you cheated. The second shot was too slow."
The difficulty of shooting a pistol is several times higher than that of a rifle. An ordinary person can easily hit the target a hundred meters away with a rifle and even get a good score. But when shooting a target five meters away with a pistol, praying to God is more reliable than aiming.
It is difficult to shoot a target thirty meters away with a pistol. What's more, like Nan Yi and his son, who are doing double-shot rapid-fire and only count the second shot, the difficulty increases exponentially. Apart from those who grew up in the shooting range, only special forces members with extraordinary talent and special training in pistol shooting are qualified to do this.
If the interval between the first shot and the second shot is too long, there will be time to re-aim, and the difficulty of rapid shooting will be completely reduced.
"Don't talk nonsense. How can I be slow? I just got my gun feeling back. I've been practicing shooting for many years. I've fired at least 500,000 rounds of pistol bullets. Rapid fire. Sprinkle some water."
"Old Adam, you're such a boaster. Why don't you add another zero?" Nan Youqiong turned off the safety and put the gun away. "I'm not going to play anymore. I'm no match for you."
Nan Yi chuckled and kept pulling the trigger at the target until the magazine was empty.
It was late at night, and the father and son moved to the sauna hut they had built. After soaking in the wooden barrel for a while, Nan Youqiong picked up a bath towel and gave Nan Yi a bath.
"Old Adam, I plan to set up a new company, Liubo Entertainment, and use this company's name to negotiate cooperation with Boqiong."
"Six Bo? What does that mean?"
"You don't know Liubo?" Nan Youqiong asked in surprise.
"Very strange?" Nan Yi turned to look at Nan Youqiong, "I can guess that it is related to gambling, but I really don't know the details. Your father has limited energy, so how can I read all kinds of books?"
"Liubo is an ancient Chinese chess game, similar to flying chess."
"So, you chose to go into the gambling business?"
"No, Liubo Entertainment will not operate a casino. It only invests in this area, invests money, does not participate in management, and only takes dividends. PaPa, I am not interested in the gambling industry either. It's just that Nan's needs to make connections in Southeast Asia through the casino."
Nan Yi said happily: "No need to explain, even if you want to enter the gambling industry, I won't say anything to you. Not getting involved in gambling is a rule I set for myself, it has nothing to do with you. Also, you like to call me Old Adam, so call me that from now on, there is no need to change the name, Wuwei now calls me Old Nan."
"uh-huh."
"Do you have a girlfriend now?"
"You just asked last time."
"It's been almost two months."
"It is enough to have one person to live with for the rest of my life."
"You little bastard, you've learned all my bad habits." Nan Yi stood up and said, "I'm going to take a dip in the river, and you can continue to pretend to be a romantic."
"No, there are crocodiles in the river at night."
Nan Yi said in amusement, "You are really capable of doing things. You raise Bengal tigers and crocodiles. You raise them wherever you go."
"Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility." Nan Youqiong muttered.
"Don't give me that."
Nan Yi replied, and went to the open-air shower room outside the sauna cabin, where the cold water rushed over his body, refreshing him completely.
After taking a shower, I changed my clothes and sat back by the campfire. I picked up the coffee pot from the fire and poured myself a cup of coffee. Holding the warm coffee, I looked up at the stars.
After a while, Nan Youqiong sat next to him, curled up his upper lip, and sniffed a cigar under his nose. After sniffing for a while, he handed the cigar to Nan Yi and said, "It's ready for the market. The terminal price is 50 US dollars a cigar."
Nan Yi took it and sniffed it, then held it in his hand and examined it, "How much does it cost?"
" With $ , I'll give the dealer more profit and keep less for myself."
Nan Yi put the cigar aside and said, "For a small business like this, just look at the financial statements. Don't take it too seriously."
"A wealthy customer ordered cigars worth $1 million from us in one go. I know this wealthy customer, and you, Old Adam, know him too. He just happened to be interested in our cigar business."
"Who is it?"
"Liu Tegu."
"Have you met him?"
"Yes, he is a swindler and is trying to trick a bunch of Middle Eastern guys."
"What do you think?"
"I didn't expose it for Aunt Xu's sake."
"Tell the truth."
"Liu Tegu's external identity is a Malaysian royal prince. I plan to wait and see. If there are benefits, I will take some money. If there are no benefits, I will give him some blame when he commits some crimes."
"Haha, you know how to frame someone. Speaking of taking the blame, it reminds me of a recent loan fraud case where the male protagonist forged documents and borrowed 1 billion from the bank, but he actually got less than 100 million. The remaining 900 million was eaten up by the people who helped him get the loan.
After the incident, the male protagonist ran away, the loan fraud case became an unsolved case, the bank admitted the loss, and all the stakeholders were safe and sound and made a fortune in silence. "
"Old Adam, you are talking about the government's bank. If it is our bank, where can it run to? If it doesn't pay back the loan, we will capture it even if it goes to the moon."
Nan Yi took a sip of coffee and said, "As long as it's a bank, similar things are bound to happen. Since the day Southland Bank was founded, several people have been dealt with every year. You, don't be too confident, and don't think about revenge.
Everyone has flaws, be it greed or lust. As long as there are flaws, you can target them and kill them. Don't be bothered. Make a reasonable plan and use legal and just means to achieve the best punishment effect."
Nan Youqiong spread his hands and said, "You know, I studied law as a minor in college, and I am a believer in the sociological school of law. The spirit of freedom and self-discipline runs in my blood."
"You're covered in law, right?"
"Bingo!"
"Little bastard!"
At this moment, Nan Yi felt relieved but also a little empty in his heart. Nan Youqiong was mature enough and there was not much for him to teach. Instead, he was catered to and taken care of his emotions.
Grown up, really grown up.
