Wen Xiuzhi didn't say anything, he held his chin in his hand and thought deeply. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the people present, Wen Xiuzhi is the one who knows Xu Yan the most. He knew Xu Yan's temperament, this young man's personality was inclined to be conservative, he was not the kind of person who liked to pretend to be shocking to make a splash, and it was even more impossible for him to joke on such a serious occasion.

Moreover, Xu Yan had warned himself many times before, and also put forward a special report, saying that the earth might be attacked by other planes, reminding the country to prepare in this regard.

Therefore, everyone else can laugh and laugh as Xu Yan is joking, but Wen Xiuzhi can't. He took a deep breath and asked Xu Yan very seriously: "Director Xu, let me confirm with you again-how sure are you of this statement?"

"I'm completely sure!"

"In that case, Director Xu, if we officially record it and provide it to the head of the Military Commission for reference, are you willing to bear this responsibility?"

Xu Yan nodded firmly: "Yes!"

Wen Xiuzhi nodded thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and nodded to the permanent secretary sitting at the end of the conference table: "Xiao Chang, wait a minute, add a paragraph to the report, write down Director Xu's point of view, and indicate that I personally agree with Wen Xiuzhi, but it does not represent the official opinion of the Intelligence Department." ”

The permanent secretary was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded seriously: "Yes, Minister Wen, I remember." ”

Seeing Wen Xiuzhi say these words solemnly, the smiles on everyone's faces disappeared, and they were replaced by solemnity--In the official report submitted by the Ministry of Intelligence to the Military Commission, Wen Xiuzhi agreed with Xu Yan's opinion, which is a very serious matter.

Wen Xiuzhi took out his career as a bet and vouched for Xu Yan in a desperate gamble. If Xu Yan's statement is finally verified to be untrue, then Wen Xiuzhi will also become a laughing stock in the military leadership, and his future in the army will be ruined.

In the strange eyes of everyone, Wen Xiuzhi turned to Director Huang as if nothing happened: "Director Huang, your Asia Division, what do you think about the request for help from the Japanese side?"

Director Huang flipped through his notebook and muttered slightly: "The situation facing Japanese society is indeed very grim, but the Japanese government is in a hurry to ask for our assistance, which does not mean that they are really at the end of their rope. According to our observations, Japan's social order is still normal, government agencies are still operating as usual, railways, highways, and air traffic are still unimpeded, social supplies are sufficient, financial institutions are operating normally, and there is no major social turmoil or chaos.

The most crucial factor is the armed forces: Although the Japanese Self-Defense Forces have suffered certain casualties in the past disasters, the Japanese Government has urgently recruited new soldiers to supplement the army, and now the number of troops in the Self-Defense Forces has risen from 240,000 to 320,000, more than one-third more than the original number of soldiers. Therefore, the Japanese have no shortage of troops, financial resources, and material resources, and their situation is not as difficult as they claim. ”

After all, Japan is far from being destitute, and it seems that there is no reason for them to put aside their past grievances with us for many years and ask our country for military assistance. So, what is their purpose in doing so?"

"The Japanese do not lack conventional force, but they lack special force -- like our Director Xu, who can quickly destroy monsters, the Japanese do not have it. Therefore, when they applied for assistance, they made a special statement, hoping that Director Xu Yan of the Ministry of Intelligence of our country would be included in the list of military advisers. Obviously, the reason why the Japanese side has put down their dignity and asked us for help is that Director Xu is an important reason that cannot be ignored.

There is also a second point: in the Shudu University incident in my country, Director Xu simply and neatly eliminated the giant snake monster, which is in stark contrast to the incompetent performance of the Japanese government in the Tokyo strange snake incident. For this reason, the current Japanese government has been under strong pressure from domestic public opinion.

The current Japanese government should have the same intention when inviting us with military assistance: If our military assistance can help the Japanese government get out of the predicament smoothly, it will be the best;

Even if our military assistance does not work, the Japanese government can tell the people that the government has done its best, and that not only the Self-Defense Forces but also the Chinese military will not be able to cope with this kind of thing.

In this case, there should be much less resentment among the Japanese people, and perhaps it will be able to help the current government win back some votes and support, and this is probably also a very important reason why the Japanese government is actively requesting our military assistance. ”

"For the sake of public opinion and votes?"

Listening to Director Huang's analysis, Wen Xiuzhi's eyes lit up, and he said to the permanent secretary: "Permanent Secretary, Director Huang's explanation is a bit new, write it down, and mark it when the time comes." ”

Wen Xiuzhi looked around at everyone: "Next, we have to discuss the third question: What is the attitude of the US government towards Japan's request for help from us? Director Chen of the Americas Division, what do you think of this issue?"

Director Chen, who was named, was a tall and thin colonel, about fifty years old, with a somewhat gloomy expression, and when he heard Wen Xiuzhi's roll call, he sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Minister Wen, I want to report to you on the relevant situation:

We have observed that in the past two months, the United States has been sending troops back to China from overseas bases all over the world, and they are sending troops back to China on a large scale from military bases stationed in Europe, the Philippines, Central Asia, Asia, and the Middle East. Among them, 30,000 troops have been transferred from South Korea to return to China, and all US troops stationed in South Korea have been evacuated.

The United States has stationed the Seventh Fleet and US military bases in Japan, with a total strength of about 50,000 troops. Now, however, the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier and the headquarters of the Seventh Fleet have returned to Hawaii from the port of Yokosuka, and there are now less than 3,000 American soldiers remaining in Japan. ”

Director Chen put down his notebook, he raised his head to look at Wen Xiuzhi, and said in a deep voice: "Minister Wen, the United States has very tight control over Japan's political and military circles, and if the current Japanese government does not have the acquiescence or consent of the Americans, they will never dare to make such a request to us.

But now, since the Japanese have already submitted a request for military assistance to our country, this is tantamount to saying that the United States has clearly abandoned Japan, the little brother -- we dare to speculate that it is precisely because Japan was first abandoned by the United States that they have no choice but to turn to our side for help. ”

There was a buzzing and low discussion in the conference room, Wen Xiuzhi frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "Did the United States abandon Japan first? However, there is a US-Japan security treaty between the United States and Japan. ”

"Minister Wen, a paper treaty does not guarantee anything. From East Asia, from Southeast Asia, from Central Europe, from Eastern Europe, from the Middle East, from Africa -- the US military is shrinking its front and sending troops back to China almost all over the world! Not only Japan, but they have abandoned all their allies and military bases abroad!

This round of contraction by the United States is in fact tantamount to giving up all overseas bases and spheres of influence that it has acquired since World War II, and abandoning all its loyal allies, Europe and Japan. ”

"Why is the United States doing this?"

"We judge that the United States should be in a period of major strategic contraction. As to why they did this, we have not yet been able to find out why. But when it comes to the fact that we send troops to Japan -- we don't think the Americans will react in a big way, they will watch it, and they will even be happy to see it happen.

We believe that there is a tacit understanding between the Americans and the Japanese government on this matter. I suggest that the diplomatic service could approach the United States to test their reaction. ”

Wen Xiuzhi said solemnly: "The diplomatic department will definitely contact the Americans, but we cannot rely on them for our work. If we all rely on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then what's the use of the central government keeping our military intelligence system?" As he spoke, he turned to Xu Yan: "Director Xu, do you have any views on the Americans doing this?"

Wen Xiuzhi asked this, he didn't have any hope, just out of politeness -- although Xu Yan is very capable of fighting, he is only 20 years old after all, and it is unrealistic to expect a 20-year-old young man to have some brilliant views on international political relations. Expectedly, on this question, Xu Yan could only shake his head and say that he didn't understand.

But to Wen Xiuzhi's surprise, Xu Yan was really thinking about it seriously, he frowned slightly, and pondered for a long time before saying: "Minister Wen, I think that the United States should have much more information about Japan than we do—this, it should be?"

Director Chen of the Americas Division and Director Huang of the Asia Division both nodded: "Director Xu is right, the United States has very deep control and infiltration into the Japanese government, and the US troops stationed in Japan are just a rope around the necks of the Japanese on the surface, and the Americans have even more powerful control over the upper echelons and key departments of the Japanese government. In the General Staff Headquarters and the Air Defense Command of the Self-Defense Forces, all the senior generals have been trained from the United States, so to the Americans, there are basically no secrets from the Japanese government and the military -- but, Director Xu, what do you mean by bringing this up?"

"I think the U.S. government should know more about Japan than we do, and they know better. It is because they know the truth of the matter that ... The U.S. troops stationed in Japan were scared away. ”

The room was silent for a few seconds, and then the crowd erupted in joyful laughter, and the officers laughed "hehe", shaking their heads as they laughed. (To be continued.) )
