Chapter 996: The Man Behind the Scenes
The night is six deep, and the cold moon is forested. It's silent...β»
The temperature has dropped a lot, the wind in the mountains is cold, and living in a villa on the mountainside, this person can't be careless.
Zhao Bei gently covered his wife with the tweed coat, then got up from the sofa and walked to the window. Close the windows. He looked at the dark night outside the window, and closed the curtains.
There isn't much entertainment in this day and age either. In the evening, Zhao Bei basically followed his wife to learn French except for occasional movies, and the rest of the time was basically learning French with his wife, and in the past few years, his French has been quite good, although he knows very well that the status of French in the world has long been shaken, but in order to make his wife happy, he is happy to pretend to be confused.
Cui Yi's idea is very simple, that is, when Zhao Bei changes his mind in the future, he will travel the world with her husband. Therefore, French has become an indispensable subject to study. After all. The upper class of this era is fashionable in language, and even the British butler school also lists French as a compulsory course, although English seems to have a tendency to replace the status of the French language in the world, but Cui Yi still feels that French is much more interesting to learn than English, every time she sees her husband counting in French, Cui Yi will feel as if she is back in her youth, and Zhao Bei has also become back to the young general who is bent on making his wife happy.
Women's ideas are always much simpler than men's, and Zhao Bei understands this very well, so he is also very cooperative with his wife's ideas. Since "Shimono. After that, he became his wife's best student, and although he didn't think there was any benefit in learning French, he could only pretend to be intoxicated with it in order to make her happy.
Traveling around the world, this idea did make Zhao Bei a little eager to try, but after all, he is not an ordinary head of a family, what he has in his hands is not only this family, but also the future of this country The more in this turbulent world situation, the more the country needs a leader who can "see the future", and this leader cannot be someone else. It can only be Zhao Bei.
Zhao Bei has been preparing for the resurgence of the political arena, although Xiao Cuiyi is not very clear about this, but she can also understand her husband's ambition, so although she has some opinions, Cui Yi has always silently endured all this calm "seclusion". Life is only the surface, but what is hidden under the surface is the turbulent political undercurrent. In the midst of this mansion. I don't know how many schemes and tricks are being carried out in Tsege, but no matter what Zhao Bei does, Cui Yi will not inquire. She only hopes that her husband can suddenly change his mind one day, and then go with her to travel the world, if possible, maybe go to the father-in-law and mother-in-law who have never met Zhao Bei to hear Zhao Bei say that the two old people are still studying ancient ruins in the rainforests of South America, and they are both old people, and it is really difficult for them to still have this enthusiasm.
Considering that Cui Yi may never be able to realize her dream, Zhao Bei had to compensate in other ways, so being a good student of his wife was not just a task.
Zhao Bei turned around, walked to the sofa, and glanced at his wife who was sleeping, it was really difficult for her these days, after being busy with the old man's birthday, she was really tired, but Zhao Bei, who was a son-in-law, seemed to be a little idle, and all day long he either met with the old subordinate, or talked with the old friend, and the family affairs were thrown to his wife.
In order not to wake up his wife, Zhao Bei gently picked up the French book from the ground, then tiptoed out of the study, took the French to the living room, put it on the coffee table, and then pressed the button under the coffee table.
A few seconds later, a guard walked into the living room.
"When did Tian Jinfu say he would come?" Zhao Bei asked.
The guard replied at half past nine. Zhao Bei glanced at the alarm clock, it was already a quarter past nine, so he asked the guard to bring him a cup of coffee first, so as to refresh himself.
Although he hasn't been busy with the old man's birthday in the past few days, Zhao Bei is indeed not very idle. Even if it is a conspiracy, it is not lazy, in the past few days, Zhao Bei has gone to bed late and got up early every day, and he has not had enough sleep, and his spirit is somewhat weak.
As soon as the maid brought the coffee, the telephone rang, and it was the guard who answered the phone. He only picked up the microphone, said a few words, then pressed down the phone, and then walked to Zhao Bei.
Tian Jinfu has arrived, and the guard who is going up the mountain said.
γ Very good. When he comes, invite him to the east study, where I will wait for him. Other than that. Madame fell asleep in the west study, and you told the housekeeper to send someone to speak.
A few minutes later, Tian Jinfu followed the guards and arrived in the east study, Zhao Bei pointed to the stool in front of the desk, and Tian Jinfu sat on the stool.
"How? What about the impact on the part of Congress? Zhao Bei still took it and asked Tian Jinfu.
Unsurprisingly, the majority of members of Congress did not agree with Yang Du's proposition, and they supported Li Yuanhong to take a tough stance. I just received a telegram on the road that just an hour earlier, Le Yuanhong had officially promulgated martial law, and now that the Wehrmacht troops had begun to move, it was believed that the deployment would be completed before dawn, and before that, the troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs would be responsible for defending the Reichstag. Li Yuanhong is now in the Capitol. With the Vice President. β
Speaking of this, Tian Jinfu glanced at the cover of the French book in Zhao Bei's hand, then took out a document from his briefcase, put it on the desk, and pushed it forward.
"This is a list I have drawn up myself, and the people on this list are the most reliable people. With them, the Jingji troops can be at the disposal of the commander-in-chief at any time. The only thing to worry about at the moment is on the Air Force's side. After Li Yuanhong entered the presidential palace. The sequence of the old two base troops has been adjusted many times, and the four air force units from the southwest region are currently stationed in the Nanyuan curtain. This unit is an air force unit reorganized from the naval aviation unit after Li Yuanhong took office, and it has a close relationship with Tang Xiangming, and Tang Xiangming has a close relationship with Li Yuanhong, so I think it is necessary to pay attention to the Nanyuan Air Base
Seeing that Tian Jinfu was a little too cautious, Zhao Bei smiled. Close that French book. Resting in the corner of the desk. took the document handed over by Tian Jinfu. Said: "Yiren." On the Air Force side, you are overly cautious.
With Li Yuanhong's prestige and courage. He would never dare to confront me head-on, not to mention, his position as president was all supported by me, so even if he had an opinion on me, he would never dare to confront me head-on. Besides, we are not going to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat, so what excuse does Li Yuanhong have to mobilize troops to deal with me, a man who is in the wilderness? This list is just in case, to be honest. I really don't plan to make a comeback by military force right now
Tian Jinfu also smiled and didn't say anything more. I also admire Zhao Bei very much in my heart, although he has been "in the wild" for four years, Er is prestige has not only not been weakened, but has been further improved because of the economic depression that has affected the world. Now, the people of the people, who have fallen into a difficult life due to unemployment, miss the "madman president" in the past. The military, which was angry because of the government's cuts in military spending, is also thinking about those years. Mad President. The concern of the military department, those officers who were forced to retire because of the government's disarmament are also thinking about their commander-in-chief, under the influence of this social trend, anyone who dares to be unfavorable to Zhao Bei will become the public enemy of the whole people, this is very clear.
What's more, although Li Yuanhong served as president for four years, during these four years, he did not dare to make any fundamental changes to Zhao Bei's layout in the government and the army, although he organized the Ministry of National Defense. Replaced by a civilian Minister of Defense. Even mixed some sand in the General Staff, but those departments of decisive significance did not dare to act rashly, and it is precisely for this reason that Tian Jinfu is still the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Li Yuanhong is not the idea of not fighting the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he is also very aware of the strength and influence of this department. He once tried to get rid of Tian Jinfu and replace him with a confidant. And he also used the mission as an excuse to transfer Tian Jinfu to the northwest, but what happened afterwards made Li Yuanhong fully realize the particularity of the plate of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Without Tian Jinfu in charge, no one would be able to grasp the Military Intelligence Bureau, an organization full of spies and killers, in a short period of time. However, the Military Intelligence Bureau is an important eye and ear of the government. The more in the period of economic crisis, the more realistic the importance of the military intelligence bureau becomes, and at this time, driving out Tian Jinfu, the head of the secret service, is tantamount to cutting off his own wings, so it didn't take long for Li Yuanhong to have no choice but to invite Tian Jinfu, who was transferred to the northwest, back again, and continue to let him control the military intelligence bureau, so as to eliminate the hidden dangers in those societies and make the government take a breath from the endless accusations of the public opinion circles.
It is precisely because Tian Jinfu is in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Zhao Bei was able to know everything in the world without leaving home, and it was through the almost pervasive peripheral organization of the Military Intelligence Bureau that Zhao Bei was able to plan this veterans' "big march" operation.
From the very beginning, Zhao Bei was the mastermind behind the veterans' "big march" operation, the so-called "Honorary Military Mutual Aid Association" is just a peripheral organization under the Military Intelligence Agency, directly obeying Tian Jinfu's orders, but in order to hide the black hand of the Military Intelligence Agency, several leaders of this organization are not military intelligence officers, but real veterans, but they are just puppets, and the real leader of this organization is the intelligence officers of the Military Intelligence Agency, and they basically control the operational department of this organization. That is why this veterans' petition was launched in the face of opposition from the top leadership of the organization. Of course, this operation alone is not enough to rely on the Military Intelligence Agency, according to Zhao Bei's plan, the Ministry of National Defense, the General Staff, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Communications are all involved in this operation, in fact, this is also very understandable. Zhao Bei has been in power for almost 20 years, and there are thousands of cronies and henchmen in these departments, and back then, the people who "graduated" from his commander's hall attendant room and supervision office were the eagle dogs he released, and with these people, even if Li Yuanhong replaced all the officials in charge of these departments with his henchmen, it would be impossible to stop Zhao Bei. Zhao Bei said that when he marched, he would march when he would march.
Li Yuanhong's view is correct. Above him, the democratically elected president, there is also a huge shadow, this shadow is the net that Zhao Bei cast out back then, this net not only netted Li Yuanhong, but also netted the entire central government, as long as Zhao Bei is determined to close the net, no one can stop him, and Zhao Bei will definitely put this net away.
It's not time to close the net yet, but Zhao Bei doesn't mind testing the reactions of all parties first, so he called Tian Jinfu and is ready to negotiate the next steps.
This secret discussion in the study ended quickly, Tian Jinfu left with Zhao Bei's order, and just after he left, the alert level of the mansion was immediately raised to the highest, not only the entire guard battalion was dispatched to arrange a guard near the villa, but also the armored vehicles also took action, patrolling back and forth under the mountain.
"You can't always be idle
When Zhao Bei stood in front of the villa and commanded the captain of the guard, Qin Sihu, to dispatch the troops, Cui Yi's voice came from behind him, Zhao Bei looked back and saw Cui Yi wearing his tweed coat, standing behind him with a pale face.
γ People are booked, and they can't help themselves. β
Zhao Bei smiled faintly and took his wife into his arms, and in the fragrance and warmth, he temporarily forgot all his troubles.
The cold moon was overhead, and the roar of armored car engines could be heard at the foot of the mountain. this night. B isn't so quiet anymore.
