Chapter 208: The Old King Next Door

Bai Zhizhan didn't agree on the spot, he just said that he would consider it, and Liu Changxun didn't force him.

Actually, there's nothing to think about.

finally stayed up until the evening, and when Bai Zhizhan was about to get off work, Zheng Jiangming came over and said that an old friend had returned to the imperial capital and made an appointment for dinner.

As for who it was, Zheng Jiangming didn't say, he just told Bai Zhizhan that he would know when he arrived.

Bai Zhizhan is very big, but there is no way to refuse.

Besides, he really didn't know where to go at night except to go back to the hotel.

I didn't go anywhere else, just in the restaurant of the hotel opposite, and asked for a private room. Zheng Jiangming made arrangements in advance, and even prepared the wine and food.

Subsequently, Bai Zhizhan learned that the "old friend" was Wang Kaiyuan.

Also, Wang Kaiyuan is already the head of the Liaison Office of the Sixth Bureau and Zheng Jiangming's immediate boss. It was because of Bai Zhizhan's face that he recruited Zheng Jiangming.

"Brother Bai, it's not very comfortable to come back for the past two days, right?" Wang Kaiyuan is obviously hand-eyed.

In addition, he is two years younger than Bai Zhizhan, so it is appropriate to call him "Brother Bai".

"Don't say it, it's not going anywhere." Bai Zhizhan was not pretentious, because in front of Wang Kaiyuan, there was no secret at all.

"It's normal, as the saying goes, you have to suffer hardships to become a superior person. If you can't endure such a little hardship, it won't be the climate. ”

Bai Zhizhan was speechless, feeling that this guy was gloating.

It's just that Wang Kaiyuan's words in the Yuzhou dialect are salty and flavorful.

If you don't understand, you will think that he is from Yuzhou.

In fact, I haven't seen him for more than ten days, Wang Kaiyuan looks like a different person, not only energetic, but also has the heart to joke.

In the past, he didn't smile or smile.

After a few drinks, Bai Zhizhan told the story of naval reform.

Although the relationship with Wang Kaiyuan is not close, as far as Bai Zhizhan knows, this guy has never done anything that harms others and himself. The reform of the navy has nothing to do with him, and it is not about the gains and losses of interests, but to help Bai stop the war, he can also gain a favor that will not be used in the future.

"So, it's all settled."

When he said this, Wang Kaiyuan glanced at Zheng Jiangming.

Zheng Jiangming didn't say anything, only nodded.

"As you know for sure, President Nuland is ready to run for the third time, and he has the support of his party. Yesterday, he also asked the secretary of state to issue a statement announcing his willingness to join hands with the Empire to build a peaceful and prosperous era in response to the initiative of Lord Shousuke at last year's League of Nations Congress. ”

Bai Zhizhan nodded, indicating that he knew these things.

Actually, I heard about it from Zheng Jiangming.

Yesterday, it was only after knowing this news that Bai Zhizhan accepted Liu Changxun's arrangement at the meeting, and did not compete with Liu Xiangzhen for the main credit.

Secretary Nuland's statement is definitely targeted, and its impact cannot be underestimated.

When Xue Yuanzheng delivered this proposal at the League of Nations Congress last year, the international situation had not yet developed to the point of being out of control. Xue's intention was to maintain the overall situation of peace and stability by uniting with other powers, so as to avoid the international situation from developing in the direction of a major war.

To put it bluntly, that's really for the sake of peace.

But now?

Secretary Nuland's statement sounds like he wants to join forces with the Liang Xia Empire to carve up the world!

His heart can be punished!

Of course, this is not a conspiracy, but more like a conspiracy.

It is not difficult to guess that Lofus's careful thinking is to promote the "threat theory of the Liangxia Empire" to make the Bran Kingdom and other powers more hostile to the Liangxia Empire. is still sowing discord, making countries like the Luosha Federation that are friendly with the empire suspicious, and thus alienating themselves from the empire.

But the problem is that such a conspiracy is the most difficult to debunk.

There is no way to prove that the empire will not unite with the Newland Federation to rule the world, because the explanation is a cover-up.

In layman's terms, this is a lump of mud that has fallen into the crotch of the pants.

On the other hand, this is the key to the victory over the Narrow Empire as soon as possible.

"What you're talking about, in fact, you don't need to worry about it at all."

"What?"

"Liu Changxun didn't let you come out, according to his meaning, I just hope that when the time comes, you can take a stand and set an example for those people in the home fleet."

Bai Zhizhan frowned.

"On the other hand, do you think that for something as important as this, Liu Changxun will put his hope on you? Brother Bai, even if you win the battle, you still wish the principal the most important apprentice, in the eyes of those people in the Liu family, it is just a bean sprout, and it is a small dish to grow into the sky. As for Liu Changxun, on the bright side. How wise is the president, and how far can the hand-selected successor be? ”

Hearing Wang Kaiyuan say this, Bai Zhizhan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Actually, Wang Kaiyuan is already very polite.

To put it bluntly, don't think too highly of yourself, just a small major general, and he hasn't been officially awarded yet, so what's it?

This is indeed a bit shocking, but Bai Zhizhan knows that Wang Kaiyuan is not talking nonsense.

Not to mention that there is a Liu Xiangzhen who can afford to carry the beam, even if there is none, the Liu family will never reuse Bai Zhizhan who does not listen to the call at all.

If you want to say anything, the Liu family is not short of generals.

Without Liu Xiangzhen, there is also Liu Xiangdong who is in charge of the Southern Fleet.

What's more, after a few battles, who dares to say that among the many children of the Liu family, there will not be one or two generals of the level of Liu Xiangzhen and Bai Zhizhan?

What the Liu family lacks is actually an indispensable victim in the struggle.

Besides, why not the He family?

This is the key to Bai Zhizhan's reluctance to join the He family, because with his identity, even if he has the ability, he is an outsider who can be sacrificed at any time.

Not to mention, Zhou Kuandegui was the commander-in-chief and marshal of the Imperial Navy, and finally became a backstabber.

Although Wang Kaiyuan's words were very harsh, every sentence was deafening.

"Director Wang, this meal is going to be cold, or ......"

was glared at by Wang Kaiyuan, and Zheng Jiangming closed his mouth.

"Brother Bai, I didn't mean to hit you, after all, you are in the middle of Lushan. I have come to you to deliver an important opportunity to you. ”

"Then I'll thank you first." Bai Zhizhan sighed, and his emotions gradually calmed down.

"Thank you or not, it depends on whether you can catch it."

Bai Zhizhan nodded, waiting for Wang Kaiyuan to continue.

"I just received the information that Lan Yun has gone to the south of Nanzhu Country, and is expected to lead the remaining warships to the Tuke Fortress on January 3. The 4th cruiser squadron did not return to the homeland and was expected to reach the Tuke fortress on the 3rd. Yesterday, a convoy of five freighters, four of which were tankers, and the other was carrying equipment and equipment for the maintenance of the warship, which we judged to be the Tuk fortress. ”

"You mean ......"

"I only care about intelligence, and I don't understand anything else." Wang Kaiyuan smiled and said, "One more thing to remind you, the 'Hengjiang' is still waiting for maintenance in Chengjiang Port." ”

"How is this possible, it's been a few days, can it be ......" Bai Zhizhan became anxious.

That's a fleet aircraft carrier, and what the Imperial Navy lacks most now is an aircraft carrier!

"It's not early, I have a very important meeting in the evening, so I'll take my leave. The next time I have the chance, I'll treat you to a good drink. ”

"Director Wang, I'll send you." Zheng Jiangming immediately got up and went to open the door.

After the two left, Bai Zhizhan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Dine?

This table full of wine and food has basically not been touched. Besides, after hearing these news, how can you still be in the mood to eat!
