Soon the supreme chief walked in and said with a smile: "Sit down, go and sit down." I, the person who came later, let you come first to greet me, isn't this my appearance? ......, Xiao Guo is here, have you rested? ”

Guo Zhuocheng hurriedly said: "Good chief." I'm well rested. ”

The Supreme Chief sat down and said, "I can't help it, I have to alarm you, the great god. I am about to go to the United States to visit Wèn at the invitation of the President of the United States, and this invitation is a bit sudden, and the matter is a bit complicated, so I have to call you over and we will discuss it. ......, I've heard that you've had a good time with it, and it's okay to delay for a while, right? ”

Guo Shucheng replied with a smile: "With capable subordinates, it is naturally much easier." Thank you, Chief, for your concern. ”

The supreme chief said kindly: "You doll is still good, you have a hand in war, and you also have a hand in being a government official." Even if we don't send people down, I think you can control those old cadres of the Qionghai Office. Yes, there are means and courage. Seriously, your words and deeds have surprised us old comrades and given us a lot of surprises, and it is really rare for you to turn their attacks into invisible with a few casual moves, and they are still reasonable and legal. ”

Guo Shucheng smiled: "The chief has won the award." In fact, it is not that I, Guo Shucheng, have much ability, but mainly because these old comrades still maintain a sense of justice, patriotism, and a high degree of party spirit and principles in their hearts. Otherwise, I won't be able to take it off even with three heads and six arms. Like Guan Yingjie and Xiong Huizhong, although I took away a large part of their power, although I was much younger than them, and it was a bit embarrassing for them to give orders in front of them, they still obeyed the organizational arrangement, still worked hard, and they were very broad-minded. ”

The supreme chief said with relief: "You can evaluate them like this, and you are very rare. I'm worried you're going to come and complain to us. When it comes to your broad mind, we veteran comrades are very pleased, which shows that we are correct in our use of you. ......, you can play their role in a targeted manner. It's good to let them take the last shift, so that they can use their spare energy. It has a very good reference for the use of veteran cadres in other parts of the country, and many young comrades are now complaining that there are veteran comrades who are in the way and hope that all of them will be retired. How does this work? They also dedicated their lives to the revolution. Although they have no knowledge, and most of their comrades have not gone to school, they have extensive work experience. As you said, they have a strong party spirit and a strong sense of principle. These are all precious assets of our party and our country, and they cannot be discarded or wasted casually. ......, Comrade Gangqiu, you have to pay close attention to this matter. It is necessary to conscientiously sum up Comrade Xiao Guo's experience on Qionghai Island, and then ventilate to the comrades concerned, saying that there are shorts and lengths in the ruler, and it is not possible to generalize and let them learn from it. ”

The last sentence was said to Yu Gangqiu.

Yu Gangqiu hurriedly said, "I'm also paying attention to this matter. When Comrade Guo Zhuocheng was in the Third Machinery Department, he also used the old comrades very well, and he did not apply a one-size-fits-all approach, but also made full use of everyone's strengths and was able to seek common ground while reserving differences. I paid attention to it at the time, and now I appreciate Xiao Guo's principle of employing people even more. ”

"Yes, the four words 'seeking common ground while reserving differences' sums up very well." The supreme chief said, "In international relations, we demand common ground while reserving differences, and we also demand common ground while reserving differences in employing people. People are of all kinds. Everyone's thinking is different, how can our leaders demand the same for everyone? Every industry, every department, and every unit must have a red face and a white face, and only in this way can we move forward faster. More secure. This is not a contradiction, this is dialectics. ”

General Xu, Li Guanding, and Qi Pengduo all nodded and said, "Yes." Oh, yes. ”

Li Guanding attended a meeting attended by Guo Zhuocheng for the first time, and he really did not expect that the supreme leader would have such a high evaluation of Guo Zhuocheng, and he couldn't help but raise Guo Zhuocheng a higher level in his heart.

At this time, the supreme chief said: "Speaking of international relations, I have summoned you here today to hold a small, extremely secret meeting on the future foreign policy, defense policy, and economic development of our country. Today's meeting is not recorded, and I hope you can speak freely. As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and drank water.

Soon, the staff who had just come in and the secretary of the supreme chief left quietly, and the door to the conference room was gently shut. When the secretary of the supreme chief left, there was a slight jealousy in Guo Zhuocheng's gaze.

The supreme chief removed the teacup from his mouth a little, and asked bluntly: "Xiao Guo, do you conclude that the Soviet Union will decline in five to ten years?" When he had finished asking, he brought the teacup closer to his lips and drank it slowly, as if it didn't matter.

Guo knew that he was leaving time for himself to think, and he was also relieving pressure for himself. At the same time, he also knew that Qian Xuesen had relayed these words to the leaders, and that this issue would indeed have a bearing on China's future foreign policy, national defense policy, and economic development.

Guo Shucheng replied without any hesitation: "Yes." ”

The supreme chief's hand shook slightly, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He gently put the teacup down and said as if to put it mildly, "Well, let's talk about it." ”

What this means is to ask Guo to explain the reason, or ask him to give relevant evidence.

Yu Gangqiu and Qi Pengduo next to them couldn't be so calm as the supreme chief, the two of them showed excited expressions on their faces, their breathing was heavier, and their eyes were blazing at Guo Zhuocheng, waiting for his answer.

No wonder they are excited, it is really because the Soviet Union has put too much pressure on China, and a million mechanized troops are placed on the border, like a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, no one knows when it will fall, and their hearts are always empty. If they decline, then China's life will be much better, and they have been suppressed for so many years, can you not be excited to hear this news?

The intelligence chief's eyes were also bright, and his sharp gaze was fixed on Guo Zhuocheng, and his hands were clenched with green tendons. However, as the director of intelligence, he was very dissatisfied with this conclusion when he dealt with Guo Zhuocheng for the first time, he had collected intelligence for so many years, and it had never been possible for the Soviet Union to decline, let alone within a few years.

Both the Soviet army and the Soviet weapons are among the best in the world, and although part of the Soviet army is now trapped in the Afghan battlefield, this is because the Afghan resistance group is supported by the two major powers, China and the United States, and it is not that they cannot handle Afghanistan. What's more, now all the strategic points in Afghanistan are under the control of the Soviet army, and most of the country is under the bayonets of the Soviet army.

Although it cannot be said that the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan was absolutely successful, they nevertheless prevailed in comparison to the American invasion of Vietnam. At that time, the United States invaded Vietnam, but it sent most of its domestic troops, and did not really conquer Vietnam with all its strength, but lost its troops and finally fled back to its hometown.

Until now, the Soviets still had a lot of trouble in Afghanistan, but they were far from the point where they had to get out of the way and go home, and the Afghan resistance was already in disarray, clearly incomparable to the Vietnamese army during the Vietnam War.

The U.S. invasion of Vietnam was a disastrous failure, but after they collected their troops and returned home, the U.S. national strength did not decline much, and it soon recovered, its economy still developed rapidly, and its military strength was still among the best in the world.

The Soviet Union is far less defeated than the United States was now, and even if they did leave Afghanistan and go back home, where would they decline? Emaciated camels are bigger than horses, and their national and military strength is not something that China can shake. They are still one of the two hegemons of the world, does it make sense to talk about their recession or not?

It has to be said that China's intelligence work failed in its previous life, and when the USSR collapsed, it was at a loss and did not understand why it was so, and it did not understand what was happening. They didn't know the news when the Soviet Union collapsed, and the merger of Germany was sudden; Later, Iraq attacked Kuwait, and China did not know the situation in advance.

When the United States attacked Iraq, China's grasp of the events made the world laugh and cry, and it was simply full of mistakes: the United States asserted that the United States could not attack before it started, because it was afraid that Iraq would become a second Vietnam. When the U.S. military makes a move, it is said that Iraq will resist desperately, the war will continue for a long time, and the U.S. military will suffer heavy losses. When the U.S. military invaded the Iraqi capital, China said that Iraq would launch a people's war and that Baghdad would become the grave of the U.S. military......

Although Guo Zhuocheng felt the intelligence chief's gaze, he ignored the other party, and was thinking quickly about the supreme leader's words, thinking about how to answer and explain: Could this matter be related to the supreme chief's visit to the United States? In the previous life, the relationship between China and the United States was not so hot, the supreme leader visited Wèn once, and after 95 years, the two countries began to be dirty, and after 9 years, the contradictions became public, and after 99 years, the United States led those fox friends to impose severe sanctions on China, and the relationship was not good. But why is the relationship in this world so hot? Didn't China offend them and their younger brother Britain in the Falklands War? Don't......

Thinking of this, Guo Zhuocheng's heart lit up: there are really no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. Relations between countries are determined by strength. The United States must be more interested in China than in its previous life, and the reason for this is that China helped Argentina clean up the British team.

He sorted out his thoughts a little in his mind, and said unhurriedly: "The Soviet Union seems to be strong now, but its foundation is empty or rotten, and it is difficult to support the behemoth that has risen from outside us. This is the result of their industrial policy and the idea of strengthening the army......"
