Chapter 639: State of Affairs

Here is a quiet courtyard in Zhongnanhai, the yard is not big, but it is very simple, the hundred-year-old Huai is soft, the red maple dyed and dyed by the wall, the green vines are horizontal, look up, but see the green cane stems in the high sky, tangled and twisted, dense turns, the brilliant sunlight is separated from the outside, the small round leaves of the jagged shape on the vine are stacked on top of each other, or vertical or oblique, or straight or rolled, in a thousand postures, in the middle of which you can see a few red maple leaves, plus the golden light of the silk silk penetrates into the air, and adds the golden edge to these branches and leaves, which is extremely good-looking. A clear spring runs around the courtyard wall on the east wall, and the mist rises like a thin veil, reflecting this place like a fairyland, which makes people feel refreshed and happy. Where the breeze goes, but see the green trees, strange flowers and plants compete to show their beauty, green vines entangle trees, strange stones are beautiful, winding paths are quiet, birdsong sounds, through the large lattice windows on all sides, faintly penetrate into the interior, as if making people merge in the infinite natural scenery.

When Leng Binghan came in, Secretary Zhong was bent over and sprayed water on the plants in the yard with a watering can, and it seemed that the tension in the waters of the Diaoyu Islands did not affect his mood at all. It is completely unbelievable that this happy, quiet and serene old man in the sixtieth century is a big man who can even cough and make a storm in the land of China.

Don't look at the cold rebirth after the mix, but this is the first time to walk into Zhongnanhai, which represents the highest power center in the country, and I am still a little nervous, of course, more curiosity and expectation. However, when he actually walked in this former royal garden, which is now a symbol of authority, he was inevitably a little disappointed.

Although the clouds and pavilions in Zhongnanhai reflect each other from afar, with yellow cut edges and green glazed tiles, it is still slightly deficient compared with the mansion that Zhu Jianjun built for him in Hong Kong, let alone the beautiful and incomparable paradise island.

"How about Xiaohan? Feeling the pressure now, right? ”

After seeing Leng Binghan coming, Secretary Zhong smiled very casually, motioned him to enter the house and sit down first, and continued to spray the plants in the yard unhurriedly, until the water in the watering can was watered, then he slowly put down the watering can, slowly entered the house, walked to the sofa and sat down, lit a cigarette, and said to Leng Binghan with a smile.

Leng Binghan smiled bitterly.

It has been a full week since Feiyuan began its high-profile intervention in the Diaoyu Islands. During this time, the international situation has changed, but almost all the world's eyes have converged on this sea.

China's unusually unconventional and hardline attitude has aroused strong reactions from neighboring countries, especially Southeast Asian countries, which also have territorial disputes with China and vainly attempt to occupy some of the islands and reefs of China's Nansha Islands as their own, are also extremely concerned about the development of the situation, and even feel that it is in danger. They hope that the final outcome of this incident can show China's attitude so that they can formulate the next steps.

At the same time, it has once again been mentioned by certain countries and forces with ulterior motives and wantonly spread the Diaoyu Dao incident, which is ironclad evidence that China relies on strong force to exercise hegemony, and poses a great threat to neighboring countries, and calls on all countries to unite and jointly resist China.

Many experts and scholars at home and abroad believe that China's extremely strong declaration of sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands to the world this time is a symbol of the rise of China, a great power in the East.

Feiyuan Company was also involved in this whirlpool, which made international public opinion stunned. But because of this, the pressure on Feiyuan in this incident is not inferior to that of the Chinese government.

In R alone, more than ninety percent of the people believe that Feiyuan played such a disgraceful role as a Chinese thug in this incident, which greatly hurt the feelings of the people of R. For a time, while the anti-China sentiment of the people in various parts of the country was rising, Feiyuan Company was not able to stand alone. Every day, many people gathered in front of Feiyuan's company to protest, many local employees in Japan also resigned, and local suppliers and sellers also broke off their cooperative relations with Feiyuan. There were even people who tried to plant bombs at the headquarters of Feiyuan Company, but fortunately, Feiyuan Company strengthened its security work in a timely manner, which prevented the occurrence of such a vicious incident.

In short, due to the gradual recovery of the Japanese economy, the Japanese government and people's dependence on Feiyuan has gradually weakened, which has also led to this turmoil being much stronger than it was ten years ago. Almost all of Feiyuan's operations in Japan have been paralyzed, and the losses are huge.

At the same time, many countries have also restricted Feiyuan's cargo transportation through their domestic ports under the pretext of preventing Feiyuan from sending arms and other strategic materials to the Diaoyu Islands, which has also brought a lot of trouble to Feiyuan's operations.

In the waters off the Diaoyu Islands, the R side has increased to two "19" fleets, and they are engaged in armed confrontation with the distant escort fleet day and night. The muzzles of each other's guns were aimed at each other, and they almost missed their guns several times. In many cases, the two fleets were less than ten nautical miles apart, and it seemed that even the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the war was almost imminent. And almost everyone also knows that in terms of the comprehensive combat power of the Feiyuan company's escort fleet, it is not at all the opponent of the well-equipped and well-trained R-side fleet. All the crew members of China's "retired" navy are trying to persist with their patriotism.

Although before making this decision, I had such psychological preparations, but in the face of such internal and external troubles, how could Leng Binghan not feel pressure?

"Of course there is pressure, but everything is expected and I can handle it!" Leng Binghan smiled.

The voice is soft, but powerful.

"Aren't you worried that the R side is really determined to go to war with your convoy?" Secretary Zhong flicked the cigarette between his fingers, and a wisp of soot fell to the ground.

"I would like Xiao R to provoke a war, but ......" smiled coldly and disdainfully, and said, "I'm afraid they don't have the guts!" ”

"Oh? Why are you so sure? Secretary Zhong asked with a slight consternation.

Although domestic experts have repeatedly analyzed it, they have also come to the conclusion that this move by the R side is just a fierce inward move and will not start a war lightly. But no one dared to say it so with such certainty as Leng Binghan.

"It's easy!" Leng Bing said lightly: "Although Xiao R Ben may defeat China in any naval battle, let alone the Feiyuan Escort Fleet of the Feiyuan Cang Advance Army. But they would never dare to go to war unless they had to. Because once a naval war breaks out for this, R Ben will not only face the danger of all-out war with China, but also have to face a strong retaliation from Feiyuan. They could not estimate the severity of the consequences of this, so they did not dare to go to war blindly. ”

"Not necessarily, but I've heard that I've held a naval exercise near Iwo Jima, and the subject of the exercise is to assume that we have occupied the Diaoyu Islands with our armed forces, and the Self-Defense Forces will attack and retake the islands. Isn't that similar to what we're in now? Just what you can do to put the exercises into practice. "Although Secretary Zhong is not from the military, as the vice chairman of the Military Commission, he also has a certain amount of research on these.

"Yes, exercises similar to this have not only been carried out, but have also been secretly carried out in conjunction with country M many times." Leng Binghan smiled when he said this, and said: "However, our current situation is very different from what they imagined during the exercise, that is, with Feiyuan's intervention. If they attack, the first thing they will attack is not the Chinese army, but the Feiyuan company. How will Feiyuan react? How will the international community react to this move? I am afraid that once a naval battle breaks out, it will have an even more adverse impact on the R. ”

"Hehe, you've seen it quite deeply." Secretary Zhong smiled, his face turned pale, he picked up a document from the table and threw it in front of Leng Binghan, and said, "Then you can take a look at this first." ”

To Secretary Zhong's surprise, Leng Binghan did not open it, but raised his head to look at Secretary Zhong and asked, "If I am not mistaken, it should be the official of country M that has made a statement in support of the R book, right?" ”

Secretary Zhong didn't react at first, but then he was stunned, and looked at Leng Binghan in disbelief: "How do you know?" ”

It's no wonder that Secretary Zhong was so shocked, he had just gotten the news, how could Leng Binghan know it before him? Unless the cold can predict the prophet.

"There are other countries that seek marine resources only for the benefit of small countries, and they actually act as a big pawn on the strategic chessboard of country M. Of course, in fact, the authorities may not be unaware of their own weight, but they have the same goal as country M to stifle China's development. In the current situation, we will definitely ask for help from country M. However, Country M did not return the Diaoyu Islands to China at the beginning, but returned them to Xiao R along with Okinawa Island, which was originally harboring evil intentions. In recent years, country M has been actively making contact with China's neighboring countries, especially in the military field, and is also trying to keep China in the first island chain. Bing Han said unhurriedly.

Secretary Zhong shook his head even when he heard this, and a look of surprise and appreciation flashed in his bright eyes.

I have always heard that this cold and cold is quick and intelligent, but Secretary Zhong never imagined that his analysis and control of the general trend are even more outstanding. With just a little clue, you can draw a conclusion that is inseparable, and you can't help but be amazing.
