Speaking of Longshou Park in the capital, I am afraid that many people who have lived in the imperial city for many years have heard of the 'old capital', but after hearing about it, there are definitely very few people who can really enter that gate.

Longshou Park has beautiful scenery, mountains and rivers, flowers and plants, is the best place for self-cultivation, here is the name of the park, but it is not open to the public, countless guards with loaded guns and ammunition stand guard in shifts 24 hours a day, conscientious, never slack.

The people who are qualified to live here are, undoubtedly, the real giants of the Celestial Empire's political circles.

Or rather, they used to be.

Everyone here has held the position of party and state leader before retirement.

In other words, after the Central Committee abolished the post of alternate member of the Politburo, and if there were no exceptions, there would be no recurrence of such a post, the people who are eligible to live here are at least members of the Politburo!

After retiring from their positions as giants, the former giants generally abide by the rules of officialdom and keep a low profile on weekdays, but in private, every word said by the giants here is entirely possible to be conveyed from within their own factions and become facts, and everyone who lives here has undoubted influence.

If any person in power can unify the opinions of all the old people here, then in the more than 9 million square kilometers of land of the Celestial Empire, he will be truly a man of his word, and even the so-called factional struggle will not exist.

Therefore, in some ways, the actual influence of Longshou Park may not be lost to Zhongnanhai.

Longshou Park is also a place that the main leaders of each successive government will often visit after taking power.

Of course, some of the most prestigious leaders who once controlled the country will occasionally 'invite' those in power to come and have a chat.

Like today.

Under the warm morning sun, a red flag and an Audi drove into Longshou Mountain, where the slope is not steep, and almost at the same time came to the gate of Longshou Park.

The guards standing here on duty were all a little dumbfounded, looking at each other.

The guards here are naturally better informed than most people, and they know much more about the rumors of the siege of Zhongnanhai a few days ago than outsiders, and now seeing the two cars gradually approaching the gate, the guards have subconsciously begun to reverie the next picture.

Hung the red flag with the license plate of the No. 1 car of the Party Central Committee.

Audi with the No. 1 license plate of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee.

Judging from the license plates, the identities of the two cars are very different, but don't forget that this is a special period, the plenary session is closed, and the party election is over, but the government change will have to wait until March next year.

During this period, the elected magnates, in addition to the general secretary, still held the same government position.

The No. 1 Party Central Committee and the No. 1 Municipal Party Committee of the Beijing City Party Committee do not seem to be at the same level, but at this time period, there are two Politburo Standing Committee members sitting in the car, real giants in the party!

That is, the future number one and number two.

This difference is much smaller than the former.

And the matter late at night the day before yesterday, Longshou Park had already received the news, and now the leaders of the Southwest and the Wang family are meeting here, and everyone has to imagine whether there will be a more popular scene next.

The two cars are getting closer and closer to the gate.

However, the hot scene did not happen, and Audi was the first to slow down.

The red flag, which was originally on par with Audi, also sounded in response, and there were not too many high-flying and domineering moves, slowly stepped forward, registered at the door according to the rules, and the two cars entered Longshou Park before and after, and finally stopped in front of a villa with a beautiful environment in the center.

The door of the red flag car opened, and Xue Zhiguo, general secretary of the Party Central Committee of the current government, was the first to get out of the car, but did not go in, but looked at the Audi that gradually stopped with a smile, as if waiting.

Audi kept a proper distance next to the red flag and stopped, and Li Donglei, the current secretary of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, got out of the car, took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xue Zhiguo, and shouted the general secretary.

Xue Zhiguo's smile seemed to become more and more enthusiastic, the two stepped forward at the same time, holding each other's hands, and the general secretary's eyes fell on Li Donglei's left hand, which was bandaged and hung under his chest, and said with concern: "Comrade Donglei, how is the injury?" ”

"Thank you General Secretary for your concern, a little injury, you will be fine after a little recuperation, I talked to the comrades in the sanatorium yesterday, and the doctor said that it only takes about a month to remove the bandage, and it will not affect the work."

Li Donglei also smiled, his tone was light and not enthusiastic, but he was definitely not indifferent.

When it comes to their position, it is not impossible to have a blushing and thick-necked quarrel or even a physical conflict, but it is extremely difficult to happen after all, especially outside, each other pays attention to a rule, and some things on the scene are maintained very well, as for the demands of the political groups behind them, they are things under the table, which need to be played and negotiated.

The two sides fight, it can be said that they are opponents, but they can definitely not be regarded as enemies.

"This incident is just nonsense!"

General Secretary Xue Zhiguo lowered his face, his cheeks bulged, and said with a hint of anger: "Some comrades are simply lawless, for the heads of the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions and the Armed Police Mobile Division, this time we must seriously investigate the responsibility, of course, there are also some cadres of the Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of State Security, it's not like that!" Listening to the wind is rain, what is the difference between this and gossip to confuse the public? Hmph, martial law in the capital? Who gave them the right ?! Comrade Dong Lei, this incident is a very important lesson, and I suggest that all these guys be sent to a military court and dealt with strictly according to the law! As for the new responsible persons of the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions and the Armed Police Mobile Division, I communicated with Vice Chairman Chen of the Central Military Commission yesterday, and he said that the best cadres will be placed in such an important position, and they must be strictly inspected. ”

Li Donglei smiled and groaned slightly.

General Secretary Xue Zhiguo's words are very clear, the southwest side has already issued a price code, and it is a more rational price code, and he intends to exchange the three most important positions of the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions, the Armed Police Mobile Division, and a director-level position of the National Security Intelligence Bureau, to pick out a certain giant behind it, of course, only in this matter, as for the future, about that giant, it will still have to be negotiated and gamed.

Strictly speaking, this exchange is not a loss, especially the position of division commander equivalent to the 1st and 2nd garrison divisions of the Royal Forest Army, which is a promising position, and he will definitely take up more important posts in the future.

If this incident happened after the National People's Congress in March next year, and everything was settled, then Li Donglei would definitely agree to this exchange without hesitation.

But now...

Li Donglei's smile became more and more obvious, and he said lightly: "General Secretary, this incident, the comrades of the 1st and 2nd Garrison Divisions and the Armed Police are certainly responsible, but this is not the key, this incident is obviously instigated by someone, some of our leading comrades have degenerated ideologically, and always think that they are in a high position and power, and they can do whatever they want!" Otherwise, our country will one day move from the rule of man to the rule of law, and the law is greater than the sky! Whoever makes a mistake can't be tolerated, this time the matter is too bad, some people are afraid that the garrison is their own private army, it's not like that! This time, I suggest that the Party Central Committee and the Military Commission must deal with it seriously! ”

Xue Zhiguo's face changed slightly, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Li Donglei.

Li Donglei's eyes were still peaceful, and he looked at Xue Zhiguo quietly.

His words were extremely serious, but he believed that what really made Xue Zhiguo change color was the word Military Commission!

That is his biggest political demand now, and it is also what he should worry about the most now.

Now that the plenary session of the Central Committee has passed, Xue Zhiguo was successfully elected as the general secretary of the Central Committee, and after the National People's Congress, he is definitely the president of the country and the supreme head of the Celestial Empire.

There can be no doubt about that.

But the question is when he will be able to fully secure the position of the country's supreme head.

That's one of the most important things.

Military!

The party commands the gun is good.

But there is another sentence, those who have military power win the world!

Since ancient times, military power has been the most sensitive thing in all dynasties.

The year of the collapse of the Wang family in '89 is the most obvious example.

Although the Party Central Military Commission and the State Military Commission of the Celestial Empire are two names, they are actually the same thing, except that they are called differently, and the internal leadership personnel and structure are exactly the same.

General Secretary of the Central Committee, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, Vice President of the Celestial Empire, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of the Celestial Empire.

This is the specific position of General Secretary Xue Zhiguo today.

After the National People's Congress in March next year, Xue Zhiguo will become unstoppable as the president of the country.

In terms of the Military Commission, whether he can directly relay has become the biggest suspense today.

When Sun Lao retired, the top head of the country was replaced by Chairman Liu, the current supreme leader, but Chairman Liu was the general secretary of the Party Central Committee, the president of the state, and the vice chairman of the Military Commission in the first session!

Deputy!

The difference between one word and one word is very different.

This is completely a matter embodied by the will of the leader, Liu Lao can hand over the power of the military commission to him, or he can not hand it over, and he is doing it for a term, that is, five years.

If the result of this great change is the former, Xue Zhiguo can naturally become the supreme head of the Celestial Empire, worthy of the name, and it is also more conducive to realizing the intentions of the southwest faction.

But if it were the latter, his position would be awkward.

The chairman of the Military Commission is not him.

The vice chairman who handles the day-to-day work of the Central Military Commission is Chen Zhengxian.

Most of the time, he will become a symbolic vice chairman.

This is not conducive to him consolidating his position at all, especially in the first five years, I am afraid that he will be hindered everywhere.

Whether Lin Qingtian can successfully take over is still in the game.

Now the situation is extremely complicated, if Liu Lao can't delegate power, even if Lin Qingtian can take over, the twenty-year era in the southwest is actually only fifteen years left.

The issue of military power is already the most important issue facing General Secretary Xue Zhiguo today.

At this time, Li Donglei's shooting became more and more sensitive.

If he died, nothing would happen.

But he is alive now, and Chairman Liu, who is still in office despite resigning from his position in the party, was even more furious when he learned the news.

After this series of events, the southwest will become extremely passive.

If Xue Zhiguo still wants to get military power now, he must coordinate with Li Donglei.

But now it seems that Li Donglei has made up his mind to make a different choice with him.

Xue Zhiguo had a headache for no reason.

"Comrade Dong Lei, I hope to see a harmonious country, especially our session, the situation is a little complicated, the two of us are in a team, I believe we are all under pressure, a lot of things, I hope to be able to concentrate as soon as possible, so that it is also convenient to carry out our work more conveniently in the future, so as to avoid wasting energy in other aspects, what do you think?"

Xue Zhiguo said slowly, he took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to Li Donglei, his eyes were unusually sincere.

Li Donglei took out a lighter, lit a fire for Xue Zhiguo first, lit a cigarette himself, took a deep breath, and nodded slightly.

It's just that before Xue Zhiguo showed his surprise intentions, Li Donglei continued: "Concentration is sometimes a good thing, the party commands the gun, it is the policy set by the great leader back then, and it is very correct, but I also think that some work may not be concentrated is a good thing, and sometimes, it is too centralized, but it is easy to have problems, military power and party affairs, I think it should be centralized, I don't know what the general secretary means?" ”

Xue Zhiguo smiled, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.

Li Donglei said it very bluntly.

Military power and party affairs.

That's it, and that's just it.

Government affairs are not included.

After the National People's Congress, Xue Zhiguo will undoubtedly be the supreme leader of the meeting.

Li Donglei, on the other hand, is the top leader of the government.

Two large class leaders.

But there is only one leader.

If it is said that the ultimate intention of the Southwest faction is to make Xue Zhiguo gain military power and become the real supremacy.

Then Li Donglei's words just now are the ultimate intention and appeal of the Royal Alliance.

The party and government are separated.

Li Donglei's meaning is very straightforward, he hopes that his current government, the party and government separation, the four words that have been shouted for many years, cannot become an empty word!

Xue Zhiguo's eyes flickered.

In front of the two of them, the door of the villa had been slowly opened.

Choose military power, or choose government affairs.

That's really a problem.

And it's a matter of making a choice right away.
