Chapter 127: Decision-makers

After meeting Kazumiko Yasuda, Liu Wei returned to Yokohama on a yacht.

The seeds have been planted, just wait for them to take root and sprout, and the rest of the things don't need Liu Wei to worry about.

On the way back, the gray-backed jackal found Liu Wei.

"You believe that woman?"

"It's not a question of believing or not believing, but we have to use the Yasuda family." Liu Wei knew that the gray-backed jackal had a question in his heart, and it was still a big question. "At this point, there's no turning back. Since Lao Li asked us to stay, we have to make a show of it. ”

"But he didn't let us bring down the Mitsubishi consortium."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "If the Mitsubishi consortium doesn't fall, which way will it go?" Don't forget, the Mitsubishi consortium is not only the largest consortium in Japan, but also owns the most powerful military enterprises in Japan. Needless to say, the Iwasaki family, and the other families in the consortium are no better. The influence of the Mitsubishi consortium is there, and it can influence the political situation at any time. Allowing the Mitsubishi consortium to exist will inevitably have unforeseen consequences. ”

"The Fuji Foundation is no better."

"That's the problem." Liu Wei looked at the sea in the distance for a while, and then turned around and said, "Naoto Kanno is going to the United States soon, right?" Well, there will be a big move in the near future. You have to contact Lao Li quickly and ask his opinion, otherwise I don't know what to do next. ”

"Simple, you can contact him now."

The Grayback Jackal went to the cabin and fetched a maritime satellite phone with encryption equipment.

At this time, Li Tingxuan was attending a high-level meeting.

For the past few days, Li Tingxuan has been attending various meetings, with an average of less than four hours of rest per day, which has exhausted him.

After finding Luo Zhigang with Du Yanning, the chief of the General Staff proposed at a high-level meeting to accelerate the "Luoyue Plan".

This proposal immediately attracted the attention of the top management.

Because it is a large-scale strategic plan that has been implemented for more than 30 years, has a major impact on the future, and is related to the core strategy of the country, in order to accelerate the implementation of the "implementation plan", it is not a problem that can be solved in one or two meetings, and various factors must be considered.

The big question is: what are the consequences of this.

As the head of the Second Intelligence Department of the General Staff Headquarters, Li Tingxuan did not participate in the strategic discussions, but had to provide relevant information and materials to high-level decision-makers.

Li Tingxuan was helpless against this bureaucratic style.

He was a practical intelligence officer who rarely spent time in his office. It's just that after becoming the director, Li Tingxuan had to adapt to the new work surname.

In his words, it is to change from free-range to captive.

The topic of the meeting, as in the past, was whether the acceleration of the "implementation plan" would lead to unpredictable consequences.

There were not many participants, except for Li Tingxuan and Luo Zhigang, there were only eleven people, nine of whom were leaders of the highest decision-making body, and the other two were Wang Xueming of the Third Department and Zhang Hongliang of MSS.

Mr. Zhang took office two months ago and is not very clear about the situation and does not have much say.

Although the scale of the MSS is far greater than that of the Second and Third Ministries, and it is an all-round intelligence agency, since the incident of Liu Wei, the status of the MSS has been greatly reduced, and its voice in major strategic decisions is far inferior to that of the two intelligence departments of the General Staff Department, and Zhang Hongliang's important surname is far less than that of Li Tingxuan and Wang Xueming.

Halfway through the meeting, Li Tingxuan's mobile phone vibrate.

Seeing that there was no caller ID, Li Tingxuan did not answer the phone, but hung up directly.

Wang Xueming is doing a technical situation analysis, which is the strength of the third department, but also the weakness of the second department, Li Tingxuan cherishes this opportunity to learn from the teacher.

After a while, the phone vibrated again, and there was still no caller ID.

Li Tingxuan originally planned to hang up the phone, but Wang Xueming's report was almost over, and Zhang Hongliang would do an analysis of the international situation below, and there was not much nutrition.

Seeing that other people's eyes were on Zhang Hongliang, Li Tingxuan got up and left the conference room.

"Lao Li, I'm 008, someone is looking for you."

Because of the use of an encryptor, Li Tingxuan couldn't hear the voice of the gray-backed jackal, and he wouldn't easily believe it when he heard it, so he asked the gray-backed jackal to report the identity code.

After confirming that it was a gray-backed jackal, Li Tingxuan said, "I'm in a meeting, what's the matter?" ”

"It's me."

Li Tingxuan didn't ask, it must be Liu Wei who could make the gray-backed jackal call back.

After a general introduction of the situation, Liu Weicai said: "Now in this situation, it's too late to brake, I just want to know what to do next." ”

"You're on purpose, aren't you?" Li Tingxuan asked very directly.

He was not a gray-backed jackal, and he could see Liu Wei's thoughts at once. This kid didn't plan to stop at all, but wanted to make a big deal out of it.

"If you want to do it, you have to do it thoroughly."

"Don't do anything, wait for my next instructions."

"Nothing?"

"yes, stop doing anything that would speed things up." Li Tingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I will contact you as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Li Tingxuan hung up the phone.

At this time, a guard in a suit and leather shoes walked over.

"Minister Li."

Li Tingxuan glanced at him and recognized him as a member of the Führer's Guard.

"After the meeting, please wait a moment."

"The Führer has something to do with me?"

The guard nodded, not saying anything more.

Li Tingxuan didn't ask any more questions and returned to the conference room.

Zhang Hongliang's analysis of the situation does not have much nutrition, and it is not much different from the last report. He can't be blamed, the main reason is that he doesn't know enough about the current situation and the "Luoyue Plan".

As far as Li Tingxuan knew, Zhang Hongliang was a very talented intelligence officer, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with important tasks.

Unlike Li Tingxuan, Zhang Hongliang is more cautious, belonging to the kind of intelligence personnel who do not seek merit but seek no fault, and lacks the initiative on key issues.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, especially during this period.

Zhang Hongliang inherited a mess, and his task was to clean up the mess, not drive a broken car on a rampage.

It is conceivable that after straightening out the MSS, Zhang Hongliang will leave his current position.

Like last time, Zhang Hongliang's report was the briefest, lasting less than fifteen minutes.

What followed was another unchanging discussion.

Because the leadership was not in agreement and there were differences on many issues, in the end, the head of state, who presided over the meeting, did not initiate a vote, but decided to continue tomorrow.

Will there be any results if it continues?

Li Tingxuan does not have much hope, even if he votes now, there will not be a good result.

In the face of an unknown future, it is not surprising that there are differences, after all, everyone is in a different perspective and sees different problems.

It's just that Li Tingxuan feels that at this time, doing nothing is the biggest problem.

It's a pity that it's not something he can decide.

When the meeting ended, Li Tingxuan stayed at the back, and then followed the guards to the study and met Xing Yuanzhao, the head of state who had only taken office two years earlier.

In Li Tingxuan's impression, Xing Yuanzhao belongs to a rare practical national leader.

Before entering the highest decision-making body, Xing Yuanzhao worked in the local area for more than 30 years, all in backward and remote areas, with rich administrative experience and a very good understanding of the national situation. Before becoming the head of state, Xing Yuanzhao was very low-key, and his chances of appearing on camera were far lower than those of other leaders. It wasn't until two years ago, when he officially became head of state, that he stood at the center of the stage and became the center of attention.

For more than two years, Xing Yuanzhao has been focusing on domestic problems, concentrating on solving domestic problems caused by the global financial crisis.

It's just that no one doubts his diplomatic skills.

After taking office, Xing Yuanzhao changed his past tradition and first visited neighboring Pakistan, where he signed a 20-year military project with the Pakistani president in Islamabad with a total value of up to $50 billion.

According to this agreement, in the next 20 years, Pakistan will acquire a complete set of land, sea and air equipment, including the latest main battle tanks, self-propelled artillery, long-range rocket artillery, ground air defense systems, destroyers, frigates, conventional submarines, advanced fighter jets and large early warning aircraft, and obtain the ability to maintain these weapons and equipment independently, and participate in the research and development of some new weapons and equipment.

To that end, Pakistan will only need to pay $27.5 billion, and the other $23.5 billion will be reimbursable.

During his subsequent visits to Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, Xing Yuanzhao secured tens of billions of dollars in long-term orders for arms companies.

In the eyes of businessmen, Xing Yuanzhao is using his influence to open up overseas markets for the Continental Army Arms Company.

It's just that in the eyes of politicians, Xing Yuanzhao is not selling weapons, but influence, and what he gains is not money, but a more stable surrounding environment.

It was this round of visits that established Xing Yuanzhao's influence in the international world.

At that time, he was named the most influential politician by Time magazine in the United States, surpassing the president of the United States and the new president of Russia.

This round of visits also shows the basic foreign policy of Xing Yuanzhao during his administration.

It's very simple: create a more favorable external environment and maintain order in the surrounding area.

Of course, not everyone thinks that Xing Yuanzhao's actions will bring benefits to the country.

The sale of arms is a trivial matter, and the point is the trouble that comes with being a bird of the first place. In any case, the effects of the financial crisis have not yet passed, and will continue even into the 20s, and the country is facing all kinds of problems, and the internal contradictions that are intensifying alone can make any political axe burn.

Not to mention the outside world, even some leaders of the highest decision-making body believe that the focus should be on the country.

Developing the economy and alleviating internal contradictions is the main task of the political axe.

Didn't Xing Yuanzhao do this?

At least in Li Tingxuan's view, Xing Yuanzhao has not only made efforts to solve economic troubles, but also made a lot of efforts to alleviate domestic contradictions.

More importantly, in the era of global economic integration, it is impossible for any domestic problem to be set aside by international factors.

It's just a headache and a foot pain, and in the end, nothing can be solved.

In Li Tingxuan's eyes, Xing Yuanzhao did not do badly and belonged to a relatively outstanding leader.

Of course, Li Tingxuan has no right to evaluate Xing Yuanzhao's ability, and he will not evaluate it.

Like everyone who has been educated since childhood, he is just a screw in this big machine, he only needs to do his job well and become a useful person, and nothing else needs to be considered.
