Chapter 67: The Darkness Before Dawn
At this time, the people sitting in the conference room are all the core members of the Royal Alliance, and the most unfortunate status is also a high position at the level of a deputy minister with real power, the prominent status of the alternate member of the Central Committee, not to mention the giants sitting at the top, it is no exaggeration to say that all of you here are the most outstanding part of the population of one billion people in the Celestial Empire.
Unrelenting, unfathomable, Tarzan collapses without changing color, and is a necessary skill for almost everyone.
But when Secretary Qian's face was pale and his eyes were in a trance and he said the three words after the siege, everyone present was shocked in their hearts, and most of them showed shock!
"It is worthy of being a senior leader who has been carefully cultivated by me for many years, and the speed of reflection is fast enough."
Xia Yinqiang, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, spoke in a gloomy tone, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The more than fifty cores present were without exception, and all of them focused their eyes on Li Donglei.
After the plenary session of the Central Committee, Premier Ye Qingquan is no longer a member of the Politburo and a member of the Standing Committee, although he is still the prime minister of the Celestial Empire, but in fact he is in a state of semi-retirement, and it is precisely because he is about to retire that he is holding this abnormal political state of the big faction meeting today, regardless of the slightest taboo.
If someone else is replaced, even if it is Li Donglei, if he wants to hold this meeting, he must take into account the impact, at least he will not set the meeting place in the conference room of the State Council.
This location is extremely important, and it shows the outside world that this meeting is completely the core summit of the royal alliance, which is formal, serious, resolute, and full of confidence.
Ye Qingquan, as the initiator of the meeting, is equivalent to taking the initiative to fight for Li Donglei, and the actual political position of the Royal Alliance is still headed by Li Donglei, and he needs to guide, coordinate, and make the final decision.
"It's already obvious."
Li Donglei said calmly, but his eyes were full of determination: "This time, you can't retreat!" ”
Several of the highest-ranking bigwigs nodded one after another.
It's really obvious.
The two cadres here had just been in Shuanggui for less than half an hour, and that side had already reacted extremely quickly.
What does this mean?
It shows that they seem to be fully aware of the firm determination of the Royal Alliance, and while learning this, they seem to be prepared for the worst.
Besiege Zhongnanhai!
This is the news that Secretary Qian brought out.
And in fact, it is not so exaggerated.
It has been learned that a certain principal leader of the intelligence bureau of the Ministry of State Security recently received news that a large number of elite terrorists had infiltrated the capital, and at 10 o'clock in the evening, while a meeting was still being held in the conference room of the State Council, a certain leader of the intelligence bureau of the Ministry of State Security had found conclusive evidence that a small group of terrorists had approached or even infiltrated Zhongnanhai in an attempt to carry out suicide assassinations against senior leaders of the Celestial Empire.
Li Donglei, a member of the Politburo Standing Committee and secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, was at the top of the assassination list.
The leaders of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of State Security did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately transmitted the information to the principal leaders of the headquarters.
The Ministry of State Security immediately convened an emergency meeting, and invited the Ministry of Public Security, the 81st Division of the Armed Police Mobile Division, and the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Garrison, which were similar to the status of the ancient Imperial Forest Army, to attend the meeting to urgently discuss a feasible plan.
During the emergency meeting, the principal leaders of the Ministry of State Security, the Ministry of Public Security, the Mobile Division of the Armed Police, and the Garrison Division received a telephone call from an important leader of the Central Committee.
The leader instructed on the phone that we must attach great importance to the personal safety of Secretary Li Donglei, take immediate action in a hurry, and arrest the 'terrorists' at any cost!
Twelve o'clock in the evening.
The Armed Police Mobile Division, the Garrison Division, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of State Security began a joint operation.
Almost all of the mobile divisions of the armed police were dispatched.
On this night, martial law was imposed in the whole capital.
The streets and alleys leading to Zhongnanhai are full of warriors of the Celestial Empire.
Armored vehicles drove into the streets, crushing the roads, and an atmosphere of unprecedented tension began to suddenly spread throughout the capital.
No one would have thought that this decisive battle had just begun, but it had already entered the most intense link.
Countless citizens of the capital witnessed this scene at home, and a large number of netizens began to publish this shocking news on various Weibo, BBS, major forums, and Tieba, and mixed with their own one-sided understanding of the truth of this event.
It's just that after the message is sent, it will be a few minutes soon, and it will be ten minutes or so, and all the messages will be automatically deleted, and there will be no similar revelations on the entire network.
Countless armed police, soldiers, public security, and agents with loaded guns and ammunition were blonde in the direction of Zhongnanhai.
Tanks and armored vehicles rammed the streets with impunity, making rumbling sounds.
One o'clock in the morning.
The large force has approached the Zhongnanhai area.
"It's a bastard!"
"Where is his party spirit?"
"For the sake of their own interests, do they want to abandon the safety of the country and ignore the political turmoil?"
"This kind of unruly people and groups, our party can't tolerate it!"
In the conference room of the State Council, there was a voice of righteous indignation.
As long as people with a little brain, they will not believe that there will really be so-called terrorists near Zhongnanhai, and if they take 10,000 steps back, even if they do, they will not be stupid enough to launch a suicide attack on Li Donglei.
The assassination of the main leaders of the Celestial Empire is enough to cause a political storm around the world, which could lead to war.
In any case, this is absolutely impossible to happen.
However, the intelligence department of the National Security Bureau received such news, and several important departments in the capital, with a total number of troops of tens of thousands of people, have already begun to act.
There is no doubt that the people in charge of commanding the personnel of various departments are all descendants of the southwest faction.
Their target is not a trumped-up terrorist, but just a barely justifiable excuse, mainly aimed at Li Donglei!
This is a big taboo.
In other words, the top boss over there is no longer thinking about how to protect himself, but thinking about how to die with Li Donglei!
Wang Fuxing left the Celestial Empire, if he took a huge risk to fight Li Donglei, the Wang Family Alliance would be leaderless, and falling apart would be almost a certain end, and then the Southwest faction would be dominant, not only would it not damage Xue Zhiguo's prestige, but would make his prestige even higher!
In the midst of the condemnation, Chen Hualou, vice president of the Central Party School, executive deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department, and deputy director of the Central Policy Research Office, took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and waited for the phone to be connected, before he said seriously: "Secretary Wei?" I am Chen Hualou, I have a very urgent matter, I want to communicate with Vice Chairman Chen immediately, please help transfer it, thank you. ”
There is only one vice chairman of the Celestial Empire, and that is Chen Zhengxian, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, who handles the daily work of the Central Military Commission.
On such a serious occasion, Chen Hualou naturally cannot be called Chen Zhengxian's father, but a serious position.
At the same time, it also shows that this is a very serious matter.
According to reliable information, the comrades of the 81st Division of the Armed Police Mobile Division, the 1st and 2nd Divisions of the Garrison Division, as well as the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of State Security, have received erroneous information.
Chen Hualou waited for a while, and as soon as he connected the office phone of the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, he immediately said.
"Okay, Minister Chen, please tell the comrades that the Military Commission is responsible for the safety of all of you here, I have received news about this matter, and the soldiers of the rapid anti-column and the special operations brigade have already begun to move, and I will also get in touch with the commander of the armed police headquarters and the garrison as soon as possible, please rest assured, comrades, I will do my best to resolutely prevent some elements with ulterior motives from succeeding in their conspiracy!"
The majestic voice of Chen Zhengxian, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, sounded on the phone, impassioned, with a trace of anger and firmness that could not be concealed.
The old man is a soldier who really came down from the battlefield at the beginning, spilling blood for this country, the military soul faction, in recent years, I don't know how many young talents have died in a foreign country, for the love and affection of this country, Chen Zhengxian is undoubtedly the deepest group of people, no matter which angle he stands on, he doesn't want things to evolve like this.
There can be struggles, but if you don't follow the rules again and again, it's not quite right, it's a dangerous signal.
Chen Hualou breathed a sigh of relief.
The Fast Reaction Column and the Special Operations Brigade are almost two units of the same name.
It's just that the latter is mysterious in the eyes of the world after all, and the fast anti-column established at the end of the last century, the full name is the People's Liberation Army Rapid Reaction Column, and the successive leaders are all real major generals. They also don't want to see a mega-faction play their cards without any rules.
The plan of the quick anti-column and the special operations brigade to suppress the siege of Zhongnanhai over there was almost no suspense.
Moreover, this kind of thing, the southwest faction will no longer pay attention to it, even if the general secretary comes forward, it is impossible to be partial to the maintenance.
It's just that what Chen Hualou didn't expect was that the rescue operation of the anti-column and the special operations brigade was fast enough as soon as possible, but the armed police mobile division, which is also known for its speed, still broke into Zhongnanhai first!
Two o'clock in the morning.
The chaos in Zhongnanhai was completely detonated.
Gunshots rang out.
This day is the 23rd day of December.
Li Donglei, member of the Politburo, Standing Committee, and secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, was shot in front of the door of the conference room of the State Council!
The wound is located on the left shoulder.
Lin Guodong, the mayor of Northern City, tried his best to protect the leader, was shot twice in the back and was sent to the hospital for rescue.
Two guards of the Central Guard Bureau were killed at gunpoint in the line of duty.
The assailant was killed instantly.
The fierce game between the two major factions, which has been in an uproar, ushered in the last dark hour before dawn on this night!
