Chapter 188: Imperial Cemetery, Convincing Zheng Haiming
"Zheng Chang, I won't say much about the conflict between America and the polar bears."

"Both sides wish the other side would fall tomorrow."

"If spending one dollar can cause the other party to suffer a loss of ten dollars, or even dozens of dollars, I believe both the polar bear and the United States would be very happy to do it."

"Now that the polar bears have invaded Argentina, they want to control the capital of this country known as the 'graveyard of empires'. America absolutely hopes that they will fail."

The international vision of people of this era cannot certainly be compared with that of later generations.

After all, the various information we receive from childhood to adulthood are completely on a different level.

"Imperial Cemetery?"

Zheng Haiming obviously felt unfamiliar with this name, which was known to many people in later generations.

"Yes, in my opinion, Afghanistan is the 'graveyard of empires.'"

"In 399 AD, Faxian, a high monk from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, went to India to seek the Dharma. When he passed through the Pamir Plateau, he sighed: There are no birds flying above, no beasts running below, and the surroundings are vast and unpredictable. The only way to determine the direction is by looking at the sun and human bones to mark the way. This shows that the country was particularly desolate at that time."

"However, with the prosperity of the Silk Road, Afghanistan has gradually become an important country along the Silk Road."

"In 628 AD, Xuanzang, a great monk of the Tang Dynasty, once again traveled west to seek Buddhist scriptures. He recorded in his "Great Tang Records on the Western Regions": Kapisa is more than miles in circumference, with snow-capped mountains in the north and black ridges on the three sides. The capital of the country is more than miles in circumference. It is suitable for growing wheat and has many fruit trees. It also produces good horses and tulips. Many exotic goods are gathered in this country."

"This Kapisa Kingdom is where the present-day Azerbaijan is located. The scene described by Xuanzang is obviously different from what Faxian saw. With the Silk Road as a link, the agriculture, animal husbandry, and trade of Azerbaijan have made great progress."

"It became a hub connecting China, India and West Asia, and was known as the 'crossroads of civilization'."

As Jiang Hui explained, Zheng Haiming listened attentively.

It was the first time for him to come across such a novel way of explaining a problem from a historical perspective.

It can be said that at this moment, Jiang Hui's talent has risen to a higher level in his heart.

"Afghanistan's special value has attracted the attention of major powers."

"In history, it has been invaded, occupied or controlled by the Persian Empire, the Arab Empire, the Tsarist Empire, the Mongol Empire and the Tang Empire, among others."

"In modern times, England has also been involved in Afghanistan, but has always returned with failure."

"I think this time the polar bears will be no exception."

Jiang Hui knew the final result, so he spoke with confidence, as if everything he said was true.

"Looking at what's in the newspaper, the polar bears are almost taking control of the entire country of Afghanistan. They've already succeeded."

Zheng Haiming's view obviously represents the views of many people of this era.

Historically, the reason why China did not take any action at the beginning was because it felt that the outcome of the polar bear crisis was already decided and there was no point in making any further trouble.

Who knew that the Polar Bear would have such a great start and end up with the situation like that?

"Yes, now the polar bears have basically controlled all the major cities in Argentina, but we have to take into account the special characteristics of Argentina."

"Afghanistan is not only the intersection of Central Asia and South Asia, but also a transit point between East Asia and West Asia, and is known as the 'heart of Asia'." "Its mountainous plateau area accounts for 4/5 of the country's total area, with an average altitude of about 1000 meters. The country's largest Hindu Kush Mountains run diagonally from southeast to northwest."

"In winter, the temperature in the northern region drops below -30 degrees Celsius. In summer, the temperature in the eastern city of Jalalabad reaches 49 degrees Celsius. It can be said that Afghanistan's climate environment is very harsh."

"Under this circumstance, if various forces mobilize the Afghan people to start a people's war, the polar bears will definitely suffer a great loss."

"After all, the special environment has tempered the Afghan people's tenacity and hard work. When the country is invaded, they can usually withstand the pressure and keep fighting."

Zheng Haiming obviously has his own opinion on Jiang Hui's point of view.

So before Jiang Hui could continue, he interrupted and said, "In modern warfare, hard work and perseverance are of no particular use. Especially since the polar bears are so powerful, Aguo is no match for them at all."

To some extent, what Zheng Haiming said is not wrong.

No matter how hard you work, can you stop bullets?

If you can block bullets, can you also block cannons and missiles?

If that doesn't work, I'll use a bunker-buster bomb, a thermobaric bomb, a white phosphorus bomb, or something like that. Flesh and blood can't withstand it at all.

"Zheng Chang, before analyzing this problem, we have to see a characteristic of Aguo."

"Afghanistan's mountainous terrain has shaped its unique social structure. There are 398 tribes scattered across the country. They are self-contained and relatively independent. The elders who control the tribes have great prestige and reputation and represent the authority of a region. The loyalty of tribal members to the elders is much higher than that to the country."

"This means that even if the polar bear occupies the country in name, he actually only controls a few major cities, and the major tribes don't listen to him at all."

"During the first Anglo-Afghan war, the British army reached an agreement with a tribe to disarm and withdraw. During the retreat, they were attacked by other tribes that did not participate in the negotiations. Only a seriously injured military doctor ran back to Jalalabad and reported the news that 1.6 British soldiers and civilians were buried in Afghanistan. This shows the strong fighting power of the Afghan tribes and the complexity of the situation."

"Azerbaijan is located in the center of Asia. If we control it, we can seize the strategic initiative. This is why many empires want to control it, and this time the polar bear is no exception."

"From past experience, every empire that set foot in Afghanistan only saw its appearance, but did not understand its essence."

"Afghanistan exists between two ancient civilizations and has been able to survive repeated attacks by foreign enemies. It is precisely the right time, right place, and right people that determine the outcome of the war. The name of 'Graveyard of Empires' is absolutely well-deserved..."

As Jiang Hui continued to explain and illustrate, Zheng Haiming's views were slowly changing.

If the situation is really as Jiang Hui said, then this matter is very important.

To a certain extent, this will be a major event that can affect the overall situation in China.

Zheng Haiming was able to quickly realize this point.

"Xiao Jiang, let's go to the First Ministry of Machine Building and report your opinion to Leader Zhou."

"At the same time, our factory has also begun to prepare for the export of BJ212 to earn foreign exchange."

Something that seemed completely impossible has now undergone a very big change.

Zheng Haiming is definitely more active than Jiang Hui in promoting the BJ212 export and foreign exchange earning project.
