The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1104: Starting a Family and Tank Battle

But when Feng's father saw Liu Tao, he was completely dumbfounded.

"The first one is long. Good!" Father Feng was trembling all over and stuttering.

As a person in the system, Feng's father must watch CCTV's 7 o'clock news every year, so naturally he must know Liu Tao.

He had never imagined that Liu Jingming's father would be a big shot like Liu Tao.

Liu Tao seemed very friendly and held Feng's father's hand: "Now the two of us are both fathers of children. There is no such thing as a leader or not, but a son and a daughter are in-laws!"

After knowing that Liu Jingming was dating someone, Liu Tao had already had people investigate everything about Feng Nan, including her background.

In fact, they belong to the same generation.

It’s just that Feng Nan’s parents look much older than Liu Tao and Zhu Lin.

Everyone sat down together, eating and chatting. Liu Tao took the initiative to pour wine for Feng's father. After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Liu Tao took the initiative to mention the marriage of Liu Jingming and Feng Nan.

Then they discussed the date of proposal and the date of marriage.

After finding an auspicious day suitable for proposing marriage, Liu Tao, Zhu Lin and others went to propose marriage in person and invited Feng Nan's relatives to dinner.

Then time quickly came to September 9, which was the first day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar, which happened to be a Saturday. This day was a good day for getting married.

Liu Tao's courtyard was very lively. The wedding banquet was not held in the hotel, but in the courtyard.

Moreover, because the courtyards prepared for Liu Jingming are adjacent to each other, with a door in the middle, the two courtyards are enough to accommodate hundreds of tables.

The guests invited to the banquet in Liu Tao's courtyard were mainly Liu Tao's relatives and friends, as well as Feng Nan's family and relatives.

In Liu Jingming's courtyard, a banquet was held for Liu Jingming and Feng Nan's classmates, friends and colleagues.

The chef for the wedding banquet was a specially invited royal chef.

When his own child got married, Liu Tao also presented the fine wine that he had collected for many years, especially the wine that he buried when Liu Jingming was one month old and one year old, all of which were taken out today.

There is plenty of good wine and delicious food today!

When it came to the toasting session, Liu Tao, Zhu Lin, and Feng's father and mother brought the newlyweds Liu Jingming and Feng Nan to start toasting from Liu Tao's courtyard.

Feng Nan looked at the big shots one by one and felt numb inside.

These big figures can only be seen on TV.

Feng Nan just felt that this period of time was like a dream.

Feng Nan's relatives were introduced by Feng's father and mother. There weren't many of them, and they were all very close.

At Liu Tao's courtyard, toasts were made table after table, and then it was time to toast at Liu Jingming's courtyard.

At first, they were Liu Jingming’s friends, classmates and colleagues. These friends were mainly those who grew up with Liu Jingming and were good friends with him. They still keep in touch with him now, and many of them were known to Liu Tao.

As for Liu Jingming's classmates, Liu Tao knew some of his elementary school classmates, junior high school classmates, and high school classmates. But after Liu Jingming went to study in the United States, Liu Tao didn't know any of them. Of course, there were not many classmates that Liu Jingming got along well with, only ten of them, which just filled one table.

Then there are Liu Jingming's colleagues, some of whom were colleagues when Liu Jingming was a swimmer, some of whom were from the Panshan Swimming Team and some from the National Swimming Team. It was the first time for these people to know Liu Jingming's family situation, and they were all shocked when they saw Liu Tao. Of course, Liu Jingming's colleagues are mostly from the NBA, including Lakers stars, Lakers coaching staff, Lakers management, and then there are Liu Jingming's teammates in the Chinese men's basketball team, including Yao Ming, Hu Weidong, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle.
Then there were Liu Jingming's friends in the NBA, including NBA Commissioner David Stern, who personally attended Liu Jingming's wedding, as well as other NBA stars.

At this time, these NBA players and administrators realized that Liu Jingming was extraordinary.

Then finally there are Feng Nan’s classmates and friends, all of whom are still in touch with Feng Nan.

Liu Jingming's marriage also means that he has officially started a family and is no longer a child.

After getting married, they went to Maldives for their honeymoon.

On the other side, a tank battle broke out in the Israeli-Palestinian War.

以色列投入了3900辆主战坦克，其中“百人队长”式800辆、M-48A5型300辆、M-60A1型300辆、M-60A3型600辆、“马加奇”7型400辆、TI-67型200辆、T-62型100辆、“梅卡瓦”1/2/3型1100辆。

In addition, Israel has deployed 113 M6500 armored personnel carriers and thousands of infantry fighting vehicles.

This was a decisive battle launched by the Israeli army to defeat the coalition forces of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and Jordan in one fell swoop.

四国联军投入了4800辆坦克，其中700辆80式主战坦克、1000辆81式中型坦克、400辆81式轻型坦克、以及59式主战坦克、59改坦克、T62坦克、T72坦克、T80坦克等2600辆，以及5000辆装甲输送车和步兵战车。

In this decisive battle, the Israeli army won by relying on its advantage in command, but it was a tragic victory.

四国联军被击毁击伤坦克多达2500辆，其中200辆80式主战坦克被击毁击伤，400辆81式中型坦克被击毁击伤，200辆81式轻型坦克被击毁击伤，59式坦克、59改坦克、T62坦克、T72坦克、T80坦克被击毁击伤达到1700辆，装甲运送车和步兵战车损失3100辆，反坦克导弹车被击毁39辆。

However, the Israeli army's victory was a pyrrhic one, with as many as 1500 tanks destroyed and more than 3000 armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles destroyed.

The Israeli army destroyed more of the Four-Nation Coalition forces and moved the front line forward, but it had to retreat.

Because the 10-strong Arab coalition army entered the Palestinian-Israeli battlefield, with the intention of encircling the Israeli army, and Mossad received news that Iraq had sent an army of 10 to the Iraq-Syrian border, which could enter Syria at any time and launch an attack on Israel.

After declaring its victory, the Israeli army retreated hastily to the border line before the Israeli-Palestinian War.

The Four-Nation Alliance also announced their victory!

Both sides declared victory, but neither launched another attack.

Because American aircraft carriers are cruising in the Mediterranean, the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf.

The Arabs were very angry, but facing the three US aircraft carrier battle groups, they had to endure this anger because the Arabs did not dare to gamble that the Americans would not attack them.

Saddam held a press conference and harshly denounced the Americans, believing that the reason the war had not ended yet and peace had not come to the Middle East was because of the favoritism of the United States. Saddam also officially announced that Iraq's exported oil would no longer be settled in US dollars.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

This is another oil-producing country, after Libya, that has announced that it will no longer settle oil trade in US dollars.

Could it be that the petrodollar system is coming to an end! ?

The United States is naturally very angry about this. The reason why the United States can over-print dollars is because the dollar is the world's main settlement currency. The whole world bears the consequences for the United States. Now Saddam's move is undoubtedly equivalent to launching an attack on the petrodollar system and threatening the petrodollar system.
