Chapter 168, Tongue War
When everyone looked at Director Jiang questioningly, his face changed, everyone in the intelligence department thought of the American spy Medusa, from Director Jiang's performance just now, coupled with his transgressive behavior, he was suspected of this, but after all, he was the director of the office of the CIA and one of the three giants of the CIA, so no one would draw conclusions.
But after the meeting, the review is also certain, as for how long the review is, it depends on the questions that Director Jiang himself explained.
Li Ruomo repeated again: "Please answer me, Director Jiang." ”
In the face of Li Ruomo's unrelenting, Director Jiang's face was very unsightly, but at this moment, Long Yunshan spoke: "This order was given by me, the mission of the General Intelligence Bureau is to prevent the existence of any unfavorable factors that may pose a threat to the country, and the people sent to Basra by the 15th Military Intelligence Agency are all suspicious elements, and contact with them is to test their political determination." ”
Director Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, this order was indeed issued by Long Yunshan, but at this time, it was inconvenient for him to explain, he couldn't always embarrass Director Long in front of everyone, and let people lead suspicion to Director Long, right?
And Long Yunshan's explanation is also reasonable, as the director of the General Intelligence Bureau, he does have the right to do this, he accepts the orders of the big leader, and the big leader is also a member of the Military Commission, and he is also the head of the three intelligence departments, what orders he gives are unquestionable.
But Li Ruomo's face was not good, he didn't expect his offensive to be defused by the veteran Long Yunshan in an instant, although he didn't say much, he secretly counterattacked.
The last sentence that tests political determination is Long Yunshan's counterattack, which indirectly says that the B team of the 15 th Military Intelligence Bureau cannot be trusted, and at the same time leads people to think in another place: The people of the General Intelligence Bureau were ordered to contact the people of the 15 th Military Intelligence Bureau, and the people of the 15 th Military Intelligence Bureau ignored the people of the General Intelligence Bureau, then these people are not only questionable in their political determination, but also untrustworthy, and also have different intentions.
Since he faced Long Yunshan's attack, Li Ruomo naturally would not show weakness: "Whether my people are suspicious elements or not, this does not need to be worried about Director Long, since they can enter my department, they will go through political censorship, but I am surprised that Director Long will not know the details of these people, but will suspect them and want to control them." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were not good, especially the leaders of the General Staff, Li Ruomo's words were not only an attack on Long Yunshan, but also an attack on the General Staff Headquarters.
Let's not talk about shrimp, but Su Su, Fan Xiaoxiao, Shen Wansan, these three people were wrongfully imprisoned, they used to be the sharp blades of the country, but in the end they were sent to prison because of corruption in the army, which is indirectly accusing the General Intelligence Bureau of incompetence under the leadership of the General Staff Department.
At this time, the two sides competed against each other, and Li Fang knew that if he didn't speak, his daughter was afraid that he would offend the people of the General Staff: "Okay, the theme of today's meeting is to reach a withdrawal agreement with Basra, not to discuss internal issues. ”
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, everyone takes a step back and digs deeper, I'm afraid that no one's face looks good, and when it's the top leader, sitting at the front, he doesn't care at all, it feels like saying, you keep digging, continue to slap yourself in the face, and see what else is unsightly.
Long Yunshan also understood the meaning of this sentence, and although Li Ruomo was unwilling, he was also silent at the same time.
Li Fang was not silent, but continued: "President Cang, I heard what you just said, it's impossible to withdraw the troops now, right? ”
"Yes." Canglong nodded, "But it doesn't mean that you can't withdraw your troops in the future." ”
"How long after that?" The big leader in charge of intelligence suddenly asked.
"After the reunification of Iraq." Canglong said calmly, "I believe you should already know that Russia has signed a military alliance with Basra, so now Basra has the ability to end the Iraqi civil war and unify Iraq, Iran wants the Prophet Army to withdraw, it must wait for Iraq to be reunified, and the Prophet Army must also maintain military control over Iran, otherwise once in the process of reunification, Iran will take advantage of the fire to rob, it will directly threaten the rear of the Prophet Army." ”
At this time, everyone was moved, even Long Yunshan's face showed surprise, no one thought that Canglong's ultimate goal was to unify Iraq, not to separate Basra from Iraq.
If the Prophet had not fought a few previous wars, and if the Prophet had not had strong support from the Russians, they might have thought that the dragon was talking big and thought it funny.
But now, the weight of this sentence was worth their consideration, even the supreme leader frowned, he looked at Canglong deeply, and Canglong looked at him at the same time, and finally the leader nodded slightly at him, and then took his gaze back.
Canglong didn't know what this meant, but in addition to feeling majesty in the eyes of the leader, he also had kindness, yes, kindness, not hostility.
This momentary eye contact, but no one was noticed, most people are wondering how sure the Prophet Army is of unifying Iraq, this is not a civil war in one country, but involves a political struggle between a powerful country and a superpower, the Russians and Americans are also involved, so now China should be involved?
The answer seems to be yes, China is getting stronger and stronger, and its international influence is obtained by soft power competition, but now China has an opportunity to use hard power to enhance its international influence and discourse, and make every effort to help Canglong, help the Prophet Army end the civil war, and unify Iraq.
"Hmph, arrogant, do you think the international situation is so simple?" Long Yunshan said suddenly.
Canglong, who originally had a better impression of Longyun Mountain, heard this sentence, and suddenly the anger in his heart came up again: "Is it arrogant, speak with strength, at least the Prophet Army has beaten the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps without the power to fight back, and the coalition army and the central security forces in central Iraq are not a problem." ”
"But you can't deal with the U.S. military." Deputy Director Chen suddenly sneered, "If the Americans fully intervene in the war, it will definitely be the Prophet Army that will be destroyed." ”
"The military alliance between Basra and Russia includes an agreement that if Basra is in a full-blown crisis, Russia will send military forces to support Basra directly." Canglong retorted.
"In the eyes of the big powers, the agreement is nothing more than waste paper." Long Yun said coldly.
"Huh." Canglong looked at Long Yunshan, "Maybe it's waste paper at some point, but it's not at some point, not to mention that the Americans are really willing to fully intervene in the war and get involved in the quagmire of Iraq again?" And this time the United States will face an adversary whose military strength is not inferior to its own, and simply put, are the American people willing to risk a direct war with Russia to support the central government in Basra? ”
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned, Li Fang and Lin Wanrou both laughed, obviously Canglong had made enough preparations, and he had a sense of smell that was not inferior to them at all in politics.
Long Yunshan is not speaking, but it does not mean that he has lost, because the final decision is in the hands of the Military Commission and the State Council, and it depends on what Li Fang and the top leaders think.
At this moment, Li Fang spoke: "Your goal is to unify Iraq, which does not have much conflict with Iran, so why not reach a non-aggression agreement with Iran?" If we delay negotiations with Iran, I am afraid that Iran's natural strategic relationship will be sent to the central side of Baghdad, and then it will be even more difficult for the Prophet Army. ”
"For the Iranians, the agreement is a piece of paper, and I need something more practical." Canglong said calmly, "Unless they are willing to join the Three Kingdoms Military Alliance." ”
"Military Alliance!! Everyone was surprised, and at this moment they understood Canglong's true purpose.
At this moment, whether it was Lin Wanrou or Long Yunshan, or Li Fang, or Li Ruomo, they all looked at Canglong in surprise, beat Iran to death, and wanted to reach a military alliance with others, which is simply a fantasy.
They really couldn't understand Canglong's thoughts, but Canglong immediately continued: "When Iran and Basra reach a military alliance, the three countries, of course, if China is willing to participate, I am willing to attach an article to the alliance agreement, once the Prophet Army unifies Iraq, immediately return all the territory of Khuzestan Province, and never move troops without being violated." ”
Li Fang's face changed, if this article was added, then the possibility of reaching a military alliance appeared, he could not have imagined that this young man in front of him, who was less than thirty years old, actually planned everything, once the military alliance agreement was reached, it would be impossible for Iran to drag the Prophet Army back at a critical moment.
The reason is very simple, the first is that they are afraid of the Prophet's army, the second is that they are hindered by the Russians, and the third is naturally because they have a common enemy.
Everyone was silent, and more people looked at Canglong in surprise, and Canglong was still sitting upright.
"China is a non-aligned treaty, so it will not join, but if the future government can provide enough benefits to China, then China is willing to give appropriate support." Li Fang glanced at the top leader, and after receiving an affirmative nod, he spoke.
Canglong smiled, and the nod of the supreme leader meant that he was trusted, and the so-called appropriate support was actually a counterstatement.
"If the Prophet Army unifies Iraq, China and Russia will have priority in exploiting all Iraq's oil and gas in the future, and at the same time, all oil and gas will be exported to China first, and in the future reconstruction, most of the projects will be handed over to Chinese companies to reach a long-term and stable strategic partnership." Canglong made his own conditions.
And these conditions are what China wants the most, and it cannot refuse.
"We'll take those conditions into account." Li Fang said calmly, but the smile on his face betrayed him, and he didn't need to think about it at all, as long as he was going through a process.
"I hope that the leaders will be able to mediate Iran's entry into the military alliance while considering it." Canglong made his own request.
I'm afraid that the Iranians never thought that China, which was invited by them to mediate Canglong, was finally invited back by Canglong to mediate themselves
