Chapter Forty-Eight: Dare
Supreme Führer Lin Qingtian.
No matter how much the prestige of the current number one person in the empire has plummeted, and no matter how crumbling the southwest faction is now under the impact of the royal family, only those who really understand the situation in the empire will understand that no matter what, at least in the past two years, Lin Qingtian's position can definitely be said to be as stable as Mount Tai, and the probability of his early retirement is basically zero like the probability of being re-elected in two years.
Two years.
To be exact, it was more than a year, more than 400 days of turbulence, which contained infinite variables, and Lin Qingtian stayed in the position of the supreme head without moving, and no one could say what kind of situation this game of chess would become in the end.
The internal voices of the Wang faction have now been completely unified, strongly supporting Ye Nianlun's succession, and in the behind-the-scenes operation of the three major decision-making bureau standing committee giants, Deputy Prime Minister Chen Hualou, Minister Guo Tianlong, and Director Zou Rente, the recent actions of the Wang faction are also quite strong, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Wang faction has gained the upper hand in the recent struggle, but this does not mean that the southwest faction has no strength.
The name of the first faction is definitely not fake, occupying the advantageous position of the supreme head of state, the number of giants in the Standing Committee of the Decision-making Bureau is the same as that of the Wang faction, and the number of members of the Decision-making Bureau is not weaker than the royal faction, in the various provinces, municipalities directly under the central government, and prefecture-level cities in the empire, the southwest faction is stronger than the royal faction, as for the military, the Wang faction can only weakly occupy some advantages, although Wang Tianxiong is full of words in the special service, but because of the particularity and darkness of the special service system, only the high-level in the special service system can stretch out a hand in imperial affairs, and the special service mainly provides talents in all aspects, and Yunshanluan controls the Kyushu prisonThere is a group of all kinds of dangerous madmen who can even sell their souls for freedom, and the talent reserve in this regard, even if the southwest faction is not as good as the royal faction, but it can definitely meet its own needs.
The strength of the southwest faction is recognized by everyone, and it can also be seen from the performance of the royal faction over the past period of time.
For several months, the royal family's offensive was raging.
But the gain is not proportional to the momentum at all.
At the beginning of the dispute between the officials, although the Wang family did not suffer in the end, Lin Congzheng served as the first deputy director of the Imperial Development Commission, and it is very likely that he will go further this year, but this piece of meat cannot be regarded as directly cut off from the southwest faction, and the current director of the development committee has already arrived at the station, although the southwest faction is unwilling to give up this position, it is not unacceptable, after all, once Lin Congzheng is corrected, the position of the first deputy director will definitely be the cadres of the southwest faction, and they can still exert their corresponding influence in the development committee.
And the position of the official department was taken down logically.
This can be seen as a bargain, exchanging the position of the top leader of the Development Committee for the position of the first leader of the Ministry of Development and the position of the second leader of the Development Committee.
In such a deal, the Wang faction seems to have won, but in fact it did not take any advantage, after all, the sudden death of the former minister was just an accident, and the southwest faction was able to operate to such a point, which was already superb.
After the dispute between the officials, the subsequent turmoil in the Ministry of Security affected everyone's minds, the Wang family was as menacing as ever, even the Minister of Security Huang Haotian, Kyushu Prison Yunshanluan, and Lin Fengxue, the head of the Southwest Lin family, all pulled in, the turmoil lasted for nearly three months, Lin Fengxue was safe and sound, Yunshanluan still sat in Kyushu Prison, although the Minister of Security Huang Haotian was demoted to the head of the Overseas Intelligence Department, but he was also able to get out of the quagmire, and the newly appointed Minister of Security was the same as the cadre of the Southwest faction.
The Wang faction's original attempt to dig out the behind-the-scenes bosses of the southwest faction through Huang Haotian completely failed, and was resolutely resisted by the southwest faction.
This is also an attack that makes the royal family look beautiful but actually has little to gain.
In the turmoil of the Ministry of Security, the southwest faction gave up the three places on the Standing Committee of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee, but they were all handed over to the southern faction, which is the key to Huang Haotian, Lin Fengxue and others can get out of the whole body, so strictly calculated, the turmoil in the Ministry of Security, for the southwest faction, is equivalent to losing three positions at the level of deputy governors, and at the same time letting a senior senior official at the level of deputy governor take charge of the imperial intelligence department, he also holds the position of the head of the first overseas intelligence department in his hands.
Can this be considered a loss?
No one would think so.
Two extremely passive and tricky things, but the southwest faction quietly operated under the table, and finally turned the big thing into a small thing, not only did they not suffer any losses, but they also did not let the Wang faction take advantage of anything.
This means of defensive struggle can no longer even be said to be mere political wisdom, it is simply cunning!
After the turmoil in the Ministry of Security, the loss of the military department was the most painful for the southwest faction, and the military forces within the faction put pressure on the General Staff at the same time, which directly made Ye Nianlun, who had been silent for many years, thunderous and angry, and the head of the General Political Department of the military, who had always been in the hands of the southwest faction, was directly transferred to an idle post, and Zheng Yangge, the military boss of the Wang faction, took over the General Political Department, controlling the right to nominate senior generals in the military, the right to inspect and the right to make suggestions.
This is the fattest piece of fat that the king has bitten since the beginning of this year's struggle.
But now it still can't be said that the royal family has really taken advantage.
After all, the outbreak of this incident has not been long, only a few months, and the Wang faction is still operating silently, and the victory or defeat of the military's game this time will ultimately depend on the final position of the cadres of the southwest faction and the former head of the General Political Department.
The idle position he is in now is definitely not the point, and the size of the real power in his next position directly determines the size of the royal family's advantage in this struggle.
And after the game of the military department, when everyone has not yet adapted to such a high frequency of political wars in the empire, Wen Keliang, the secretary of the provincial party committee of Dongshan Province, who is extremely optimistic about the southwest faction, has been transferred, which makes everyone even more nervous.
The strongest back garden and the most optimistic generals have both lost, which is tantamount to directly touching the bottom line of the southwest faction.
Wang's next successor, Huang Fujun, a figure who carries the banner, was appointed secretary of the Dongshan Provincial Party Committee.
But for the royal family, this is definitely not a fat meat, but a crater.
The Wang faction was tantamount to being overshadowed by the southern faction this time, sending the next successor within his faction to the base camp of the opposing faction, and he had not yet been equipped with even one right-hand man.
Many people have already guessed the situation in Dongshan Province next, there are only two kinds.
The first is that the southwest faction fought back strongly after being angered by the bottom line, and the Wang faction transferred Huangfu Jun from Dongshan Province before and after the southwest faction's counterattack.
The second is that the royal faction is fully operational, and begins to seize the territory of Dongshan Province, and the giants of the two major factions directly set off a large whirlpool in Dongshan Province that is enough to affect the overall situation, once this happens, the all-out war between the royal faction and the southwest faction, Dongshan Province will undoubtedly become the frontline.
No matter what kind of speculation, people know that the southwest faction will never be silent again, the first two silences are because the southwest faction has not lost anything, that's all, once someone snatches away their own interests, the southwest faction will definitely not give up.
When the entire empire was paying close attention to the two major factions, Lin Qingtian's every move attracted people's attention.
So as soon as he appeared in the glorious banquet hall of Shenzhou, he directly caused a violent sensation.
Everyone present stood up, and Lin Qingtian's surroundings were instantly surrounded by people, this powerful figure who is now the number one in the empire, no one will not be in awe.
Lin Qingtian shook hands with everyone one by one with a smile, his appearance was too abrupt, and because of his abruptness, it also attracted everyone's attention, so that no one paid attention to Lin Xuanyuan's movements for a while.
By the time everyone came to their senses and thought that something was going to happen, there was no shadow of the young God of War King next to the coffin.
Everyone was slightly stunned.
"On stage"
I don't know who said it, everyone subconsciously looked at the rostrum of the center.
On the rostrum full of flowers, under the focus of the lights, Lin Xuanyuan stood quietly in front of the microphone, his eyes were flat, and he looked at Lin Qingtian below with an expressionless face, and the edge of his body became more and more dazzling!
"Young man, the Führer is here, the rostrum is not a place where you should stay, and you can't come down yet?!"
Beside Lin Qingtian, Yun Shanluan appeared like a ghost, and shouted with a gloomy expression, his face was still pale and seriously injured, but compared to the injury that he couldn't get up at noon, he was much better, he should have taken the genetic potion independently researched by the Empire, which made him look like an ordinary person except for being very haggard at this time, but Lin Xuanyuan saw at a glance that he was strong and dry.
He has always been very clear about his shots, so he also has a general understanding of Yun Shanluan's injuries, not to mention immature genetic potions, even fucking holy water can't make him recover his combat effectiveness in the afternoon, and now he can stand up and speak, which is already quite good.
"You want me to go down too?"
Lin Xuanyuan didn't look at Yun Shanluan, but narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Qingtian, and asked lightly.
In front of everyone's eyes, the sharp light in Lin Qingtian's eyes flashed, and then he smiled and waved his hand and said: "I'm old, I'm not used to the lights above, if this was put two years ago, young man, I had to stand in that position, forget it now, after standing on the stage for a long time, when I should be below, I should be below, standing on a position that should not belong to me, I will be thrown at any time, and the higher I stand, the worse I fall." ”
Most of them were silent in unison, with different expressions.
Lin Qingtian's words are really meaningful, as if he is talking about himself, and as if he is talking about Lin Xuanyuan, there are needles hidden in the cotton, but there are people who have nothing to say.
It's just that most people have nothing to say, but Lin Xuanyuan has something to say, he stood on the stage, facing the microphone, and his bland and cold voice spread to every corner of the banquet hall: "The head of state really has self-knowledge. ”
He didn't seem to hear Lin Qingtian's secret sarcasm just now, a sentence of self-knowledge, but there was a sense of urging Lin Qingtian to step down quickly.
After the slap in the face of the God of War Palace, Lin Qingtian was too lazy to engage in a verbal dispute with this sharp-tongued young man, he just smiled faintly, squinted at the eight coffins in front of him, smiled coldly, and said in a calm tone: "This gift is good, but there are seven people in Fengxue's family, and in addition to the seven of them, the closest relationship should be me." ”
He stepped forward, patted the coffin, raised his head to look at Lin Xuanyuan, and said with a smile: "Xuanyuan, I still have a share of this coffin?!"
The audience fell silent again.
It's a simple question, but it's unusually old-fashioned.
If Lin Xuanyuan said yes, it would prove that he had the intention of killing Lin Qingtian, killing the supreme head of the empire, and saying it in public by the royal giants, the influence behind this and the turmoil caused by it were unimaginable.
But Lin Xuanyuan came with a fierce momentum, if he said it was not now, his momentum would inevitably suffer a heavy setback, if Lin Qingtian spoke a little more skillfully, it was likely to make all of Lin Xuanyuan's actions today a laughing stock.
Lin Qingtian smiled gently, quietly looked at Lin Xuanyuan on the rostrum, who looked down as if he was contemplating, and smiled indifferently: "Xuanyuan, do you dare to answer?"
Dare not answer.
This sentence is even more heart-wrenching.
Lin Xuanyuan raised his head suddenly, laughed, and suddenly burned again.
He jumped off the rostrum directly and strode forward: "Calligraphy and painting!"
"In!"
Lin Shushu, who went to the banquet with Lin Xuanyuan and Helian Chenxi, suddenly took a step forward and appeared in everyone's sight.
"Open the coffin!"
Lin Xuanyuan sneered, and the arrogance of the whole person was almost boundless.
Lin Shushu's body shook slightly, and then he opened the most central of the eight coffins without hesitation.
At the same time that the coffin was lifted, Lin Xuanyuan was already standing in front of Lin Qingtian.
Facing the supreme head with his eyes narrowed, Lin Xuanyuan smiled coldly, stretched out his hand and pointed to the open coffin, and said without hesitation: "Führer, please, do you dare to enter the coffin?!"
