Of course, Zeng Qingzheng himself was also anxious and very annoyed that he was not able to serve as the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, because this move clearly showed a meaning: although Brother Hu was forced to designate himself as the prince under pressure from all sides, he was actually not happy to designate himself as a successor.

As for the reason, it is actually very simple, he is not a member of Brother Hu's faction, even if it is for the sake of his influence after retiring in the future, unless there is really no way, it is absolutely impossible for Brother Hu to transfer power to other factions, otherwise there is no way for Brother Hu and their own faction to forgive him.

But helplessly, although he understands this, he has done a lot of work for this point over the years, but Brother Hu was stunned and withstood the pressure and did not hand over this right to himself...... As the supreme leader of this country, when Brother Hu is shouldering the responsibility of balancing the strength of various factions and leading the country forward, he naturally enjoys more rights, and letting the supreme leader have the highest rights has become a common consensus of everyone, which will not change because of himself, in fact, Zeng Qingzheng himself is quite helpless about this.

Under the unique political environment and soil conditions of the republic, there is a consensus that political struggle is also a part of politics, and the more things you can get from your political opponents without affecting the development of the country and without resorting to conspiracy as much as possible, the more it shows that your political skills are superb, and your failure to take the post of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission from Brother Hu's hands has naturally become a proof that many people's political skills are not superb enough. It kind of indirectly makes them have some doubts about cooperating with them.

But the model of the transport plane that Zhang Lan took out now suddenly gave Zeng Qingzheng hope, a hope that he could meddle in the military from another road.

The Zhang family has its own influence in the military, and has its own spokesperson for interests, which everyone knows and acquiesces in, at the beginning they supported a guy named Wang Qiang, but unfortunately that guy couldn't see the situation clearly, and actually jumped off the chariot of the Alice Group and the Zhang family, and as a result, the bright future was originally destined to become bleak, and now he is just put in the Ministry of Defense with the rank of lieutenant general. Brother Hu actually doesn't trust this guy...... I believe that few people will believe a guy who has been a traitor.

But this does not mean that the influence of the Zhang family in the military is gone, in fact, according to their own understanding, it seems that in recent years, the influence of Alice Group and the Zhang family in the military has not only not shrunk, but has increased more and more, which can be seen from the large orders obtained by various military enterprises under the Alice Group, and the amount of the domestic military industry is always limited, when the Alice Group eats more and more cakes, it is obvious that it is compressing other people's cakes...... It also means that the influence of the Zhang family and Alice Group in the military has changed over many military bigwigs who came out before the liberation.

Obviously, this model of the transport plane sent by Zhang Lan, hehe...... Transport...... Transport...... Transport...... What's shipped? It is my own future, and it is the chair that I have worked hard for all my life. This model of the transport plane represents the meaning of the Zhang family: we can cooperate

Cooperation? This question does not seem to be necessary to be considered at all, and of course it is necessary to cooperate with fools not to cooperate

Or if the other force comes, Zeng Qingzheng still has to think about whether he can cooperate with him, but if it is Alice Group plus the Zhang family, there is basically no need to consider this, everything the Zhang family has done over the years, everyone has seen it, although they have violated the interests of many people in many things, but there is no doubt that everything they have done over the years has had a great benefit to the country.

Cooperating with the Zhang family and Alice Group is a win-win situation, not a tiger skin, nor a traitor

Although he wants to get to that position, there are some things that need to be avoided, at least for Zeng Qingzheng, although he can give up a lot in order to get to that position, it definitely does not include betraying the country.

With so many thoughts flashing through his head in an instant, Zeng Qingzheng stood up suddenly, laughing loudly, "I like this model" while walking to the side of this model and looking at it carefully, and asked Zhang Lan seemingly casually, "Zhang Lan, what do you like?" As long as I have here, I can give it to you. ”,

This guy really understands, this is waiting for himself to come up with cooperation conditions, Zhang Lan smiled with satisfaction, talking to smart people is to save trouble. Laughed. "As long as Secretary Zeng likes it, before we came, we were worried that Secretary Zeng didn't like this gift, and we were worried for a long time."

Dislike? How can it be? Zeng Qingzheng shook his head slightly: These guys have calculated themselves thoroughly.

Decades of ups and downs, although she was a little angry just now, Mrs. Zeng also saw something at this moment: the Zhang family's pair of children are definitely not an airplane model, but the meaning behind this airplane model, which seems to be of great help to their wife, as long as they look at the red old face that their wife is excited about.

Knowing this, the unhappiness in his heart just now suddenly disappeared, and he got up and said with a smile, "You guys talk first, I'll go down to prepare the meal," he said and looked at Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi and said, "The two children of the Zhang family, you will eat here in a while, and I will personally go to the spoon today grandma...... Old 2, let's go, come with me to help. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and walked out.

Zeng Tao didn't realize anything yet, but Zeng Jianguo was taken aback by his old ** words: What? My own mother cooks by herself? How long has it been since my wife cooked? What the hell is going on today?

But at this time, Zeng Jianguo also saw some Taoism, this gift is just an introduction, and the things that the introduction led to made his father and the Zhang family very satisfied, so the next thing to talk about, it is not appropriate for these people to be present, he immediately stood up, with a slight trace of excitement on his face, "Mom, I haven't eaten a meal cooked by your own hands for many years, well, I'll go and help you." ”

Let the wife of the prince of the republic take the spoon, and the dignified ministerial-level leaders on the side, Zhang Lan's specifications for this meal are really high enough, just say it, I don't know how many people will envy their eyes fall to the ground, but Zhang Lan just politely thanked him, and didn't seem to realize what this meant to him at all.

However, Zhang Lan really doesn't have much reason to be excited, and he has even eaten the meals cooked by the first lady of the republic herself, and the meals made by Mrs. Chujun herself...... Is it rare?

It's just that until he walked out of the door, Zeng Tao didn't understand that he obviously didn't know anything about things in the kitchen, why did his grandmother and father still pull him? But at this time, he didn't dare to stab him, he had just made a mistake.

There were only three people left in the room, Zhang Lan, Xiao Chenxi and Zeng Qingzheng, Zeng Qingzheng's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked in a deep voice, "I understand what the two of you mean, and I am very grateful for the help of the two, but as a politician, I understand the truth of giving and reaping, since you have given me so much help, what do you want to get?" Tell me in advance that if you ask for more than I can give, I can only say sorry for this cooperation. ”

Zhang Lan smiled, if Zeng Qingzheng didn't say this, he would inevitably hesitate a little, but since he said this, everything would be easy.

"We only have one request," Zhang Lan raised a finger, didn't detour, and said to herself, "You can only do one term, during your term of office, what you have to do is to do your best to push my godmother Li Yumei into your current position, and ensure that when your term expires in five years, you can let my godmother take over in order, that's all." ”

What the?

Although he had already imagined in his heart the countless conditions that Alice Group and the Zhang family might put forward, Zeng Qingzheng still didn't expect that the appetite of the Zhang family and the Alice Group would be so big, and they would want to re-establish a female emperor in China? God, are they crazy or are they having a problem with their ears and hearing it wrong?

Although there is a big difference between the present and the past, and even in the political history of the republic, some women have gone to the position of deputy state, and some are even honorary Zhengguo, and now Li Yumei has reached the Zhengguo level, and she is still holding the real power, which can be regarded as creating the history of the political map of the republic.

But Zeng Qingzheng knew very well in his heart that all this, in addition to the factors of the development of the times, also had the need for propaganda, but basically, allowing a woman to go to the vice-national level is already the limit of the bigwigs, unless there are very few circumstances, but to that position? Don't even think about it, Zeng Qingzheng instinctively shook his head, "Impossible, I can't do this." ”,

"Nothing can't be done, before this, who would have thought and dared to imagine that there would be a woman who could step into the position of a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee?" Zhang Lan shook her head very firmly and denied Zeng Qingzheng's statement, "For me, there is nothing impossible, the condition to support your coming to power is that you will help Li Yumei to your current position, plus a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission." Five years, and our efforts behind the scenes, believe that this is not an impossible thing...... Although I also know that it is really hard. ”

Zeng Qingzheng's face couldn't help twitching slightly, obviously Zhang Lan's "plus a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission" stimulated him.

Zeng Qingzheng smiled bitterly, "You also know that this is difficult, let me tell you, this is not a very difficult thing, but it is impossible for us not to talk about it at the level of the National People's Congress, we all know what is going on at the National People's Congress, but you calculate, at the level of the Politburo, apart from me and Lord Wu, who else can support her?" Even if she counts herself, she only has three votes, and she is still two short of more than half...... And this is the matter that determines the core leadership of the country for a period of time in the future, it is definitely not more than half of the time, and under normal circumstances, it is barely possible to pass at least seven votes, do you think...... Can you still get at least two tickets, which is another four tickets on top of the three we already have? ”

Without waiting for Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi to speak, Zeng Qingzheng shook his head helplessly, obviously, he was quite unoptimistic about Zhang Lan's bad idea: it is not feasible at all, everyone is arrogant, and a woman walking to a position similar to his own has already made everyone feel that they have lost face, who can accept letting a woman climb on his head? I'm afraid that whether his hardcore ally Lao Wu will be able to support her as much as he supports himself, can't be sure?

As for whether he can be re-elected, Zeng Qingzheng is very open-minded, and it is naturally very good to be re-elected, but the current situation is a little different from before, whether he can be re-elected in five years, this is really uncertain, fair and just, in terms of the strength he has now, even Zeng Qingzheng has to admit that this ...... Hard.

Zhang Lan said very sincerely, "Of course, we all know that this is difficult...... But this is also very normal, if it wasn't such a difficult thing, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to exchange it, wouldn't we? ”

Zeng Qingzheng couldn't help but be stunned.

That's right, it's because it's so difficult that they put forward such conditions for cooperation, and ...... Even Zeng Qingzheng himself had to admit that compared with supporting himself to get that position, it didn't seem too much for them to ask for such a return, but this reward was really a bit of "personality", which made it very difficult for them.

But Zeng Qingzheng was not reconciled, the difficulty of this cooperation condition was too great, compared to it, he would rather Zhang Lan change it. I couldn't help but ask, "What about the other conditions?" I can even let you go in a certain state monopoly industry after I go up, communications, shops, railway transportation, mineral exploitation...... You can choose any of these projects that are extremely profitable for you. ”

Speaking of which, Zeng Qingzheng is indeed "full of sincerity".

Zhang Lan honestly returned, honestly making people feel that he was almost perverted with confidence, "Of course we like these, but these were originally what we planned." ”

What the? These guys have already regarded this piece as their meal? couldn't help but gasp, the horror in Zeng Qingzheng's heart was indescribable

Although I had already expected that the Zhang family and Alice Group had a great appetite, I am afraid that no one would have thought of it, their appetite was so big that I am afraid that these are what they will do after Li Yumei comes to power, right? Their appetite ......

Zeng Qingzheng was silent, he couldn't help but start thinking, if he really agreed to this cooperation condition, whether it would be a good thing for this country, especially the background of the Alice Group, which is even more suspicious, although it seems that the Alice Group has been close to China and slightly hostile to the United States over the years, but this kind of thing, you can't tie your hope to others.

But Zeng Qingzheng also had to think about it, why did Zhang Lan, this kid, confess so frankly in front of him? Isn't he afraid of what he will do when he finds out? Or did he decide that he could settle himself and that he would agree to his conditions no matter what? Realizing this, Zeng Qingzheng couldn't help but feel a little angry. ,

For a person who is accustomed to calculating others all day long, and basically no one dares to calculate him, it is indeed not a pleasant thing to encounter such a thing suddenly. But then, this anger that had just emerged made Zeng Qingzheng suppress: in any case, although the cooperation conditions they proposed seemed difficult, so difficult that it was almost impossible to succeed, but there is no doubt that this cooperation conditions did not exceed their bottom line, and even from a certain point of view, it was actually very simple......

No matter if you do it for one term or two terms, after you step down, someone will always have to take over the power in your own hands to take over the power in your own hands, and a force belonging to your own faction will take over the power in your hands, invisibly, you will have more influence on the country after you retire, isn't Brother Hu planning to do this.

Although it seems that Li Yumei is relying on the support of the Zhang family and the Alice Group to form her own faction, the problem is that as long as this cooperative relationship is established, whether she and the Zhang family are willing or not, the two factions will gradually move together, this is not transferred by anyone's will, the power of capital and interests makes them have to do so.

As for how they tossed when Li Yumei went up, Zeng Qingzheng is actually not very worried about it now, a truth that everyone doesn't say on their lips, but they actually understand in their hearts: whether it is the world of the Zhang family, the world of the Li family, or the world of the Wang family...... No matter whose world it is, it is us Chinese ourselves who have to be in power, so there is no need to worry that they will betray this country, and the Zhang family and Alice Group at that time will also be counted within this range.

Aren't the so-called state-owned enterprises now actually becoming the property of each big family, and at that time, the Zhang family and the Alice Group, who have regarded this country as the chassis of their own interests, will naturally not allow that kind of situation to occur, and even whoever dares to betray the country will infringe on their interests.

What to do? Realizing this, Zeng Qingzheng's head was running rapidly.

When he realized this, Zeng Qingzheng had already gone from the previous "impossible" to unloading his psychological baggage and began to think about "what to do".

Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi glanced at each other, and there was some joy in their eyes.

Although Zeng Qingzheng has been thinking all this time, the expression on his face has never changed, but how could Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi not understand, since he is thinking, it means that he has begun to consider the operability of this matter, which is a good signal.
