Before Nong Chengyi arrived, Yan Jingyu had just sent off two important representatives of the plenary congress. [Reading Network] is the same as Pei Chengyi guessed. Yan Jingyu is working hard to allocate more than 100 million yuan for the new capital project, and hopes that the plenary congress can complete the deliberation work before the Spring Festival. This is also to solve problems for Pei Chengyi, because it will be delayed until after the Spring Festival. Pei Chengyi doesn't want to live in peace.

"In the past few days, I've been thinking, it's better than before, Yan Jingyu brought the tea brewed by Gao and said, "I think that at the beginning, when Wang Lao gave an order, who would say half a word?" After decades of reform, there is more bargaining, but there are fewer people who really think about the country and the nation. ”

"Lao Yan, you are angry talking, you really want to go back to the past, don't say that Wang Lao can't forgive us. You won't say yes either. ”

As soon as Pei Chengyi said this, Yan Jingyu laughed.

"Let's not talk about this, I started talking to a few deputies, and I will definitely be able to complete the deliberations before the Spring Festival. You can also try to allocate the money before the holiday. This time. You don't have to come to me every day. ”

"I didn't come to you for this Pei Chengyi paused a little and gave the documents he brought to Yan Jingyu." This is the result of the vote of the plenary session, and the news will be announced at 5:30 p.m. today, when the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a joint press conference to announce the purpose and significance of our signing of the Stockholm Agreement. Either way, that's the most important thing right now

Yan Jingyu picked up the document, frowned a few times, and then opened the document and read it.

The content related to the vote was not very attractive. What matters to the vote is the outcome, not the process. Yan Jingyu was interested in the opinions put forward by the deputies to the plenary session during the voting process. For example, a delegate from Hubei mentioned that the Stockholm Accord has a limit to the republic's binding capacity, and that the republican has the right to terminate the performance of its duties and obligations under the pact at any time. Although the detailed terms of the agreement do not contain such a provision, i.e., it is not clear under what circumstances the contracting State may withdraw unilaterally. After all, as far as this agreement is concerned, as long as any of the signatory countries unilaterally withdraws, it means that the agreement is completely invalid. More importantly, the two most important decorating countries. That is, neither the republic nor the United States took the agreement seriously. The purpose of signing the agreement. It is only to promote the reduction of the third phase of the London Treaty, after that purpose. The republic and the United States could tear up the agreement at any time. But looking at it from another angle, this request put forward by the Hubei deputies. The legal basis for the withdrawal of the authorities of the Republic from the Stockholm Accords has been laid, i.e., the worries of the future have been resolved. In fact, a few days ago, before ratifying the Stockholm Accord, the U.S. House of Representatives proposed a similar additional clause, that is, the U.S. federal government has the right to withdraw from the U.S. agreement if it poses a serious threat to U.S. national interests or has a serious negative impact on the future development of the United States.

In a sense, the proposal of the Hubei deputies solved one of the political systems of the republic. Major issues.

Dejurely, the government is an executive body, not a legislature. In other words, the government has no right to revoke laws other than administrative regulations, or treaties and agreements of a legal nature. In this way, the central Government of the Republic would not have the power to unilaterally terminate international treaties ratified by the Plenary Assembly. In other words, when an international treaty poses a threat to the interests of the republic, it is necessary to go through the legislative process. Apparently. This greatly reduces the efficiency of the government's work. It has also led to international criticism for certain strategic initiatives of the authorities of the Republic. For example, when the war broke out in India, many Western countries accused the republic of treachery, because after the conflict in southern Tibet, the republic signed a border treaty with India of a legal nature, which clearly stipulated that India recognized the sovereignty of the republic in disputed areas, including southern Tibet, and the republic promised not to take all kinds of subversive actions against India. Because before the war, the authorities of the republic did not go through the legislative process and the legislature revoked the agreement, so when the war began, many Western countries believed that the government of the republic had violated the law and no longer had the value of existence in legal theory.

It can be said that this is the main result of the political reform of the republic.

As Pei Chengsang said, no matter who it is, they don't want to go back to the past. In the second round of political reform, the most important task was to clarify the terms of reference of the government and the congress. That is, the work of the congress is to make laws, and the government governs the country according to the powers conferred by law. It was so, in the Middle East war in the year of the mountain. Few Western countries think that the republic has gone too far. Actually, if you look at it only from the point of view of impact. The Republic has taken more radical steps in the Middle East war, after all, the Middle East is thousands of kilometers away from the Republic itself, and India is next to the Republic. It is precisely because the authorities of the Republic went through a complete legislative process before they became involved in the war and obtained the right to war, which was conferred on them by the highest legislative body, that the dispatch of troops by the central government of the Republic to participate in the war in the Middle East was a legal, not illegal.

It is for this reason that the authorities of the republic have spent so much energy on the Stockholm Accords.

Of course, the crux of the Stockholm Accord is not that it gives the central government of the republic some kind of power.

After a long while, Yan Jingyu closed the document and turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi.

As if expecting the Yuan Nu Shuangdiao, Pei Chengyi put down the teacup and raised his eyes to the sixth.

"So the conditions are ripe for war?. Yan Jingyu picked up the cigarette on the table and pressed the switch of the exhaust device at the same time. Because Pei Chengyi doesn't smoke, and he often comes to Yuanfu, the staff of Yuanfu specially made a set of exhaust devices.

"It depends on how demanding we are

Yan Jingyu smiled and motioned for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"We were the last to sign the Stockholm Accords, if all goes well. Within forty-eight o'clock, the agreement will officially take effect Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "The timing is very accurate, and it will be the end of the month." The third phase of the London Treaty reduction will be officially launched, and the pre-reduction basic verification will be carried out in January next year, and the destruction process can begin as soon as early March. Of course, as soon as the destruction work begins, the rest is not so important

Yan Jingyu nodded, indicating that he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

In accordance with the provisions of the additional provisions of the London Treaty, before the start of the third phase of reduction, a preliminary basic verification will be carried out for two months to ascertain the details of the nuclear weapons, carriers, nuclear facilities and nuclear materials held by the treaty countries, and then a detailed destruction plan will be formulated based on the results of the verification. At this point, there will no longer be any secrets about the nuclear capabilities of the Treaty countries, and even if there are still many nuclear weapons that have not been destroyed, the location and storage methods of their nuclear weapons will be revealed to the world. In other words. As long as the war breaks out, these locations will be hit with priority. More importantly, the strategic nuclear submarines of all the major nuclear powers will return to port when the reduction work begins, ending the strategic patrols that have lasted for nearly 100 years. Bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons and carrying out strategic strike missions will also be grounded at this time. All in all, by the beginning of March, even though the countries still possessed many nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles, they had basically lost their ability to use them.

"The problem is, our war deployment is not yet in place." Pei Chengyi let out a long breath. Said. "Yesterday I went to the Military Intelligence Agency to learn more about the situation, and although the United States is still lagging behind us in war preparations, the situation is not optimistic. The key is still that the building of the space forces is not in place, and many of our basic forces have not been adjusted. ”

"What do you mean?"

If it is possible, it is best to drag it out for a few years Pei Chengyi replied very simply.

Yan Jingyu frowned slightly, and motioned for Pei Chengyi to speak in more detail.

"Although according to the current strength of our army. As long as we do the work after the war, we still have a great chance of defeating the United States, but no one can predict the situation after the war, and we can't take this risk Pei Chengyi said it more tactfully this time. "In a sense. Both we and the United States support the Stockholm Accord. Moreover, actively encircling Russia and France is to stabilize the situation and postpone the war for a few years. Anyway. The benefits to us now are not very obvious

"The question is, in a few years, will we have an absolute advantage?"

Pei Chengyi hesitated a little and said: "Three years ago, we did a computer simulation and came to the conclusion that the intensity of the Third World War would be twenty times that of the Second World War. In other words, in the absence of a substantial expansion of the area of warring. The duration of the war will be significantly shortened. Theoretically, this means that whoever can take the initiative in the early stages of the war will be victorious. And the side that loses the initiative does not even have a chance to fight back.

In our current situation, it is difficult to ensure the initiative after the start of the war. Anyway. An all-out war with the United States is definitely a high-intensity war, and the initial investment and consumption are very huge, far more than any war we have experienced before. Take the war in India, for example. It took us five years to prepare, and we did a partial mobilization after the outbreak of the war. And during the war, he managed to mobilize and use the military power of the allies, and only barely guaranteed victory within six months. As far as I know. If the war breaks out next year, we will not be in a state that is past the Indian war. ”

"That is, the certainty of defeating the United States is not very good."

At most, sixty percent Pei Chengyi reluctantly smiled. "Maybe it's a little higher, because some of the factors that have a significant impact on the outcome of a war cannot be analyzed in a quantitative way." However, such a probability of winning is still far from what we expected. Although according to my estimates, we can still achieve the ultimate victory, but in this case, the cost of victory must be very heavy, and it will even overshadow it. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Jingyu's expression suddenly became much more solemn.

As a national leader, Yan Jingyu only values the result, not the process.

As we all know, there is a price to win, and there is no such thing as a victory without a price. In the same way, there is no meaning in victory, and there is no meaningless victory. In this way, when it comes to measuring victory, cost and meaning become the most important criteria. Perhaps the former is more important for the military, after all, it is the soldiers, not the politicians, who charge the battlefield on the battlefield. But for politicians, the latter is clearly more important. That's what I said earlier, politicians only care about the result, not the process. In any case, instigating a war requires taking a lot of risks, even if it is won. As long as it doesn't make sense, it can't be accepted by politicians.

Although Pei Cheng explained to you, but in his words. The only thing that can make the victory lose its sharpness is to clarify the situation, one is that the Republic itself has been severely damaged, even if the Republic retaliates with a reactionary counterattack and completely destroys the United States. It also makes the victory worthless. The second is that the republic paid too much for the war. After the end of the war, there was no longer enough national strength to replace the hegemony of the United States, and the world entered a state of disorder.

Obviously, the latter is much more likely.

In fact, no matter what the result is, Yan Jingyu can't accept it.

After pondering for a while, Yan Jingyu sighed and said, "You also know that we are not war maniacs, and it is not the two of us who are promoting the exhibition. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that he understood what Yan Jingyu meant, and said, "Liu Xiaobin has gone to the National Computing Center. The latest analysis results will be available in one week at the latest. ”

"Is it accurate enough?"

"With the Stockholm Accord and the latest intelligence received by the MIA, the results of the analysis are certainly more accurate than they were three years ago

Yan Jingyu nodded slightly and said, "That's good, you have to make adjustments to the war plan." ”

"I am personally responsible for this matter, and the main work will be done by Yuan Chenhao, and there will be results within a week

"In that case, then I'll invite everyone to a barbecue next weekend, and we'll talk about it in detail when the time comes."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Old Yan." It's best not to rush to ventilate this matter, at most tell Premier Jiao, and the others "It's not too late to notify you when the time comes."

"I know this, so you can rest assured."

"That's it, it's not too early Pei Chengyi glanced at his watch and said, "I'm going to delay it any longer, and I'm going to affect your dinner again." I'll come back next Saturday afternoon, if anything. Call us. ”

Yan Jingyu nodded with a smile, got up and sent Pei Chengyi to the door.

On the way back to the vice president's residence, Pei Chengyi couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

As Yan Jingyu said, any national leader will miss Li years ago, that is, Wang Yuanqing's era. You must know that what really worries Yan Jingyu is not the external enemy, but the interest groups within the republic. It can be said that this is a little irony of the political reform of the republic. As Yan Jingyu mentioned, it is definitely not the two national leaders of the republic who push history forward, but those deputies in the plenary congress. Since the adoption of the defense budget at the General Assembly. The supreme authority of the republic talks about war. By the end of the year, the Military Committee of the Plenum had gained a great deal of influence. In a sense, those deputies have approved huge military spending for so many years in a row with only one purpose, and that is to win the next war and bring tenfold or even hundredfold returns to the Republic and to the interest groups behind them. Since you want to win in the war, war. In other words, even if Yan Jingyu and Pei Chengyi thought that it should be delayed for a few more years and that it would not be good to immediately detonate the war, they would have to convince the main delegates of the plenary congress, especially the members of the military committee, first.

Undoubtedly, it is not an easy job.

After Zhuo Shishang, after the four forces, Yan Jingyu often did "ideological work" for the members of the Military Committee and other committees of the plenary congress.

For example, in July of the year of Mengqiang, in order to approve the national defense budget, which was close to the increase in the country, Yan Jingyu invited representatives to the Yuan Mansion as guests in a row, and the stuttering was carried out in the form of open-air barbecue. It is precisely because of this that some people jokingly call Yan Jingyu "barbecue yuan". It was also from this time that Yan Jingyu developed a bad habit, that is, when there was something to ask for. I will definitely invite the delegates to Yuanfu for barbecue. Of course, this also moves towards representing an effective way of conveying a certain message. In Lin Muxun's words, as long as he received a call to go to Yuanfu for barbecue, he would have to spend some more time figuring out Yuan's thoughts. lest you be ugly on the spot.

Of course, on this big stage, Yan Jingyu is not the only lead dancer.

As we all know, Yan Jingyu is a national leader who has little to do with the military and national defense, so when it comes to national defense issues, Pei Chengyi's role is often more important. For example, if the national defense budget can be supported at the plenary congress, it has the greatest relationship with Pei Chengyi, and it can even be said that without Pei Chengyi's influence, the military committee headed by Lin Muxun will definitely not give in, and it will not be possible to pass it at the plenary congress.

That's right, it's not Yan Jingyu who really has a headache, but Pei Chengyi.

When he left the Yuan Mansion, Pei Chengyi knew that Yan Jingyu had handed over the problem to him. In any case, Pei Chengyi first proposed to delay the start of the war for a few years, so it was up to him to find a way to convince all the delegates of the Congress. Let them support the government's resolution. Of course, as mentioned earlier, it is not the deputies who must be persuaded first, but the members of the military council.

Back at the vice president's residence, Pei Chengyi called Lin Muxun.

Over the next week, he had to make the most of every minute to rally more support. If you need to leave the problem to a barbecue dinner, that's the real problem! If you want to know what will happen next, please log in... More chapters. Support for work
