Chapter 77: The Play Has Been Performed Enough

  Duan Jianghe suddenly grasped Feng Siche's concerns, which left him astonished and his face flushed with embarrassment, for it seemed that the other person had hit on his own secret. A young man always fears that others will steal his credit, a somewhat unmentionable thing.

  Feng Sicheng's face turned red and he lowered his head, while Duan Jianghe chuckled. No need to say, just by looking at the expression, it was clear that he had guessed correctly.

  Feng Siche lowered his head and didn't speak, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. It seemed that his performance had been successful, at least he had fooled Duan Jianghe. In fact, with Feng Siche's temperament, what did he have to fear about this achievement being snatched away by Duan Jianghe? He knew that given Duan Jianghe's current status, he couldn't afford to speak carelessly like him. If he himself made a mistake, it was nothing serious, just an indication of political immaturity. But as for Duan Jianghe, he wouldn't be so lucky - if he took one wrong step, he would inevitably be exploited and attacked by his other political enemies.

  Why did Feng Si Zhe do this when he knew Duan Jiang He wouldn't steal his thunder? It's simple, Feng Si Zhe was acting. He knew that no matter what he said, others would still see him as a young man, even though he was almost 50 years old. To appear consistent with his age, he deliberately pretended to be afraid that Duan Jiang He would steal his credit. This way, first, he could make Duan Jiang He underestimate him and let his guard down, which would put them on an equal footing in terms of age. Second, even if Feng Si Zhe said something wrong later, Duan Jiang He wouldn't be able to say anything about it.

  Based on the above two reasons, Feng Si Zhe came up with a clever plan to lure him in and then let him off the hook, and indeed, Duan Jiang He fell for it. Of course, from Duan Jiang He's perspective, if he hadn't just thought of Feng Si Zhe as a young person, but rather someone his own age sitting here, he might not have had such thoughts. But coincidentally, Feng Si Zhe's age was just right to deceive him.

  "Haha, Uncle Duan has seen through me. Actually, it's not that I'm afraid of someone stealing the credit, but this is just a family matter and there's no solid basis for some things, which are hard to say." Feng Sicheng pretended to be a child whose thoughts had been seen through, scratching his head and laughing.

  "Haha, what's wrong with being a family matter? Often the truth is in the hands of a few people. That's right, as long as young people have ideas, it's a good thing. Come on, tell me your point of view, let me see if you're right or not." Du Jianghe thought to himself, young people are indeed young people, being self-conscious about their own affairs and finding other excuses, still wanting to save face after all.

  No matter how Duan Jianghe views himself, now that others have asked him like this, if he still doesn't say something, it would really be hard to justify. Originally, the intention was to take advantage of the opportunity to solidify his relationship with Duan Jianghe, but if nothing is said, not only will the purpose of this trip not be achieved, but there will also be a backlash, which would be a loss.

  "Alright, since Uncle Duan wants to hear my opinion, I'll say it. However, if I say something wrong, please forgive me, after all, it's just one person's view." Feng Si Zhe didn't let Duan Jiang He speak first, instead using his words to shut him up.

  Watching Feng Si Zhe after seeing himself, although tense on the surface, but what he said and did was indeed one thing after another, which made Duan Jiang He also admire his caution. However, at the same time, he couldn't help but feel that Feng Si Zhe's pretentious tension was a bit unnecessary. Young people should be straightforward and impulsive, saying whatever comes to mind without worrying too much. Now, being overly cautious everywhere makes him seem like an adult. But what reassures Duan Jiang He is that Feng Si Zhe's tactics are still transparent to him, which means everything is under his control, and that's good.

  Feng Siche deliberately made Duan Jianghe feel this way. As big shots, they all have a common trait: they like to control everything and only feel at ease when things are under their control. Otherwise, they will feel uneasy or even panicked. Feng Siche had long understood this point and intentionally made some small moves to let Duan Jianghe see through them. But how could he know that what he saw and felt was all deliberately shown by Feng Siche? If he knew Feng Siche's psychological tactics now, he would probably be extremely shocked. How could someone with such means be just a 23-year-old young man? This is also somewhat unthinkable.

  Everyone has performed, and those who should have done so have also done so. Next, Feng Siche began to explain his views on the possibility of the Soviet Union's disintegration in the near future to Duan Jianghe.

  "The drastic change in the Soviet Union was the result of the interaction between internal and external factors... The drastic change in the Soviet Union had both historical and realistic reasons... At the level of social structure, there were multiple reasons for the disintegration of the Soviet Union, including economic, political, ideological and cultural reasons, as well as foreign policy reasons, but among them, economic factors played a decisive role... As for the CPSU itself, the drastic change in the Soviet Union was caused by both ideological and political lines, as well as organizational lines."

  "Based on the above points, they have all reached a critical point, and I am convinced that something big is about to happen there, with an extremely high probability of splitting and disintegration events." After speaking for about 40 minutes, Feng Sizi finally slowed down and gave himself a true feeling about this matter.

  During Feng Si Zhe's speech, Duan Jiang He was listening seriously. On several points of view, it can be said that he has both agreed and disagreed. The Soviet Union is a big country after all, and saying that there will be dangerous political events is an exaggeration in itself, and taking it out suddenly makes others unbelievable. However, after hearing Feng Si Zhe's arguments, one cannot help but admit that even if the future Soviet Union does not experience any major events, small things will still emerge endlessly because their country has indeed reached a certain level of danger. As the saying goes, "no destruction, no construction", it is possible that the Soviet Union has already reached the critical moment of great destruction and great construction.

  "Hmm, Xiao Zhe's ideas are quite peculiar and his imagination is rich, of course, his arguments are also very down-to-earth. However, all these cannot explain what kind of major event will definitely happen in the Soviet Union in the near future. After all, there are also capable people in the Soviet Union." Duan Jianghe thought that since the vast Soviet Union was also full of talents, he didn't believe that these people hadn't seen these points either?

  "Hehe, Uncle Duan's teachings are good, but I've also heard another saying: 'Not knowing the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because one is in the midst of mountains.'" Feng Sicheng said with a smile, reciting an ancient poem.
