Wen Liang had no choice but to pretend to be stupid, and said: "Although I don't know the original purpose of the above, but at least it has played a deterrent role, and I am afraid that it is impossible for the other side to engage in independence, and the United States will not support it, in fact, it is still relatively satisfactory......

Ning Xi chuckled and said, "Complete, of course it's perfect!" ”

From the perspective of the overall situation, in the face of the rampant provocation on the other side, it is very necessary to carry out a tough counterattack; belligerence is bound to perish, and forgetting war is dangerous, and only by not being afraid of war can war be avoided. But outside of the overall situation, we must look through the fog to find the essence hidden under the surface.

It doesn't see the smoke of gunpowder, but it is more treacherous and bloody than the real battlefield of gunpowder! To put it simply, starting from the tense situation in the Taiwan Strait, suppressing opposition within the party, and moving through a proposal for large-scale military exercises, and then mobilizing troops in many places that did not need to be mobilized through several super-large-scale exercises, thus tearing a hole in the ironclad and inaccessible military, and inserting many nails that do not belong to the Ning system. And the military spending has skyrocketed from the initial 2.5 billion to 4 billion, and I don't know how many people's private pockets have been filled, how many people's loyalty has been replaced, and how many wall grasses have been swayed, from confrontation to neutrality, and they have begun to cautiously wait and see the situation!

This series of extremely sharp offensives that made people almost unable to breathe not only forced Taiwan and the United States to join hands to deal with it on the surface, and the courage and confidence of the leading forces were frustrated, but also forced the huge Ning faction to have a strong sense of crisis on the other hand, and to deeply reflect on and adjust its own stance and attitude. It's been the first time in many years that such a dilemma has been!

However, there is no need to say these things to Wen Liang, this is not a world that he can touch at this time, nor is it a world that he can set foot in at this time, but what Ning Xi doesn't know is that Wen Liang knows more than he can see!

Wen Liang hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed back the names of the two major generals, a mere "Taibai case", maybe it can alleviate the other party's aggressiveness. He can even follow the vine and expand the scope to catch more people to make them feel painful, but in the long run, it will have no impact on the overall situation at all, and he really can't find a suitable reason to explain what he knows!

Remembering that when he first met Xu Ting last year, he was on military duty in various coastal areas to catch spies, and later he was shot and wounded, Wen Liang at that time never thought that one day he would be in such close contact with the truth that outsiders could not reach. Listen to the most secret and stirring high-level politics of the Republic.

"Listen to what you mean, is the old man going to retire......" Wen Forgive put aside the mixed thoughts in his mind. Following Ning Xi's words and asked, she said, "Grandpa is old", doesn't this mean it?

"Grandpa should still be thinking about it, after all, whether to retreat or not is not his business alone, nor is it a matter of the Ning family's surname, let alone a certain family and faction, which are intertwined and involve too many things!" Ning Xi lowered her head, and her side face became a little unnaturally pale from the cold. The sound seemed to come from the depths of the empty valley, and it was hazy and distant to the ears.

"But I know him too well, and in the year before and after this exercise, there have been many games on it, and all forces have been mixed in, in order to break the situation of Ning's dominance in the military. And the people on this side of the Ning department are strong and strong. The servants are like clouds, and it can be said that there are not many chips, but in the end they still lost the initiative and suffered a loss. Grandpa is a little disheartened because of this, I'm afraid that by the 15th National Congress of the Communist Party of China next year, he will take the initiative to ask to retire! ”

Wen Yu's mind has long been tightly tightened into a line, his mind is spinning, combined with what he has seen and heard in the two lives before and after, it seems to have faintly captured something: Old Man Ning may not be disheartened, from that era step by step to the pinnacle of life, how firm his mind is, can not be shaken, how can he not talk about advancing and retreating for a small setback that does not hurt his muscles and bones at all, it is more likely that he has seen that the rise of the other party is inevitable after this defeat, one eliminates the other, you advance and I retreat, it is a foregone conclusion, Rather than waiting for the 15th National Congress to reshuffle the cards, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, and you can also use this to negotiate a good price code to create opportunities and time for a comeback in the future.

is still the same sentence, politics never fights for gains and losses at one time and one place, and the one who laughs last is the real winner!

For Wen Liang, it is not difficult to figure out this, but the problem is that what Ning Xi talked to him about at the beginning was not the Ning family, but the blind date Yang Zong!

Why did it extend from a small Yang Zong to the future of the Ning family?

Ning Xi has never been a little girl with a jumping mind, no theme, and casual talk, she raised her head and stared at Wen Yu, just so close, but looking at it from afar, quietly, silently!

Rao is forgiveness is unfathomable in today's city, but it also took a lot of strength to barely make the knuckles tremble not so much, and his mouth seemed to be comforting Ning Xi, as if he was comforting himself, and said: "Actually, don't worry, even if the old man retires, your father, and your uncles and uncles are all in high positions in the army, and for the entire Ning family, the old man is not in power, and there will not be much fluctuation." Besides, sometimes take a step back and open the sky, as long as the person is still there, the power is there, and it doesn't matter if you have a title or not! ”

He paused, as if trying to liven up the atmosphere, and smiled, "Do you remember what you told me at the beginning?" If the republic is compared to a scale, the Ning family and the group it represents are the fulcrum in the middle of the scale, who goes up and who goes down, but adding or subtracting chips at both ends of the scale, but if there is no fulcrum, there will be no republic! (See Chapter 43 of Volume IV for details)

Ning Xi's eyes were filled with warmth, obviously remembering the past with Wen Liang, it was only half a year, but when he thought about it at this time, it was as long as many years!

She said in a low voice: "Yes, I never worry about this, just like you said, grandpa retreated, what about the Ning family, that is what my uncle and third uncle should worry about, how can there be a prosperous family for thousands of years, even if it is dispersed from now on, it is not a pity, but ......"

Wen Yu's heart jumped, and he said, "But what? ”

"My surname is Ning!"

A flash of sadness flashed on her beautiful face, and said: "Wen forgiving, my surname is Ning, I enjoy the glory of the Ning family, and I also carry the glory of the Ning family, I thought I could be a maverick and not be bound by the family, but when it came to the end, I knew that no one forced you, but at a certain point in time, there must be someone in that position, we were born because of the family, and naturally we can also die for the family!" ”

Of course, Wen Liang understood the meaning of her words, his hand tightened suddenly, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "Does it have to be like this?" Just for a small and insignificant failure? ”

The impact of this incident on the entire Ning family is indeed not great, but it has sounded the alarm for the old man Ning, people must have near-term worries without far-sightedness, for any big family, the process of rising may have to go through countless tests, but the source of the collapse is often a small gap that is not taken seriously.

Old Man Ning's retreat, the Ning family will inevitably lie dormant for a period of time, maybe a year, two years, maybe five years, ten years, which requires a strong guarantee, so that his subordinates will not be centrifuged, so that the allies will not deviate from morality, so that those who put cold arrows in their backs, those who fish in troubled waters, and those who try to replace them will not rise up and attack them in groups. Throughout history, to play the trick of retreating as advance, the first thing to grasp is to make people feel that you have retreated, and you have to make people feel that you are still not easy to provoke after retreating, so that you can attack, retreat and defend, exchange time for space, and wait for the opportunity to move!

And the Lei family is the best choice for the Ning family!

Over the years, the two factions have cooperated and confronted each other many times, but there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two, so when it comes to the need for help, each other is the best and only choice!

As a result, marriage, an ancient but acceptable method to everyone, was quietly put on the agenda before Ning Xi returned to China!

Ning Xi shook his head and said, "The marriage with the Lei family is not aimed at this exercise, but the crisis exposed by this exercise, which is what is really frightening." ”

Wen Liang finally heard the word "marriage" from her mouth, and his heart began to be rarely irritable, and said: "There are so many girls in the Ning family, why did you choose you?" ”

"What else can show your sincerity more than Ning Xi, the most famous person in the Ning family?"

Wen Liang couldn't say anything to refute, and said: "What about Yang Zong, he is not surnamed Lei, and his status in the Lei family is not even ranked in the top fifty......

"Because Yang Zong is already the most suitable person for me in the eyes of the elders!" Ning Xi's smile had never made Wen Liang feel distressed like today, and said, "You must know that although the family chose me, they also hope that I can live a happier life!" ”

"Happiness?" Wen Liang stood up, suddenly kicked on the railing, and said: "For the so-called crisis that may or may not happen, whether you want it or not, the Ning family will bury your happiness for a lifetime?"

The corners of Ning Xi's mouth floated with a faint self-deprecation, and said: "My happiness has never been in my hands!" ”

Gentle forgiveness, before I met you, I never had any illusions about love,

After meeting you, I realized that love is far sweeter than fantasy!

I thought that if you were given enough time, with your intelligence and ambition, I could happily wait for the opportunity and right to stay together for a lifetime!

But I finally understood that we who can't control our fate are too far away and too unreal to stay together all our lives!

But you have a saying that is not right, my happiness has not been ruined because of this,

Because

Falling in love with you is already the greatest happiness in my life!
