One one. On the day of the monthly thug, Pei Chengyi set off to return to Beijing. Because he received a call from Liu Xiaobin before leaving, Pei Chengyi used the confidential communication line of the Military Intelligence Bureau to chat with Liu Xiaobin for several hours on the way back to China. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

"The information is very accurate, and we arranged for the inside spy in the Mossad to come back." Liu Xiaobin paused slightly and said, "Before this, this undercover spy did not participate in any espionage activities, this is the first operation he has participated in after nearly twenty years of lurking, and it is also the last operation. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and had a bad premonition.

"After receiving the information, we lost contact with him." Liu Xiaobin sighed and said, "Through the internal spy personnel of the fourth-class intelligence agency, we have confirmed the reliability of this information. As expected, at the end of this month, Israel and Turkey will sign a tripartite agreement with the United States, formally ending the war treaty. ”

"So the war will break out next month."

"As soon as next month, at the latest by the end of this year." Liu Xiaobin took two sips and said, "This time, if you go back, in addition to reporting on the situation of the Joint Command and introducing the war plan, the main problem is to find out whether you have the ability to start a war this month." ”

"Shall we start the war?"

Liu Xiaobin nodded and said: "It doesn't matter who shoots the first shot, if necessary, we have a way to get the first shot, the key is whether we have the ability or not." ”

Pei Chengyi pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to whether we can start a war in advance, there is also whether it is good for us to start a war in advance." ”

"Exactly, you'd better prepare."

Pei Chengyi smiled, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.

Since it is a military meeting, the chief of the general staff is definitely indispensable. In any case, the Chief of the General Staff is the supreme commander of the republican ** team, and the supreme military commander who commands the army to fight on behalf of the Yuan. Although with the help of Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi does not have to face Lin Xiaolei directly, nor does he need to consult Lin Xiaolei, but after the war broke out, no matter how capable Li Cunxun is, Pei Chengyi will face Lin Xiaolei. If you can't avoid it, you don't need to avoid it. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles during the war, it was necessary for Pei Chengyi to have a good contact with Lin Xiaolei. The pre-war conference was undoubtedly the best opportunity, and as the Chief of the General Staff, he had the right to intervene in military operations.

Obviously, Liu Xiaobin was worried that Pei Chengyi would be in trouble.

When he received the news of returning to China, Pei Chengyi also had this worry, but after receiving Liu Xiaobin's call, he felt that there was nothing to worry about. Even if Gu Weimin did not directly authorize Pei Chengyi to command this war, because Lin Xiaolei is an admiral, even if he has participated in several wars, he has not commanded ground troops, so it is unlikely that he will interfere with the front-line command, and there is no reason to compete with Pei Chengyi for command.

Relatively speaking, Pei Chengyi needs to bear Gu Weimin.

Since the last time he talked to Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi had a bad premonition, that is, he was facing a war that he could not win. If this is the case, Gu Weimin must have some understanding of the final outcome, and he deliberately arranged Pei Chengyi to command this war, there is some kind of ulterior secret. In fact, some of Li Cunxun's arrangements prove from the side that Pei Chengyi's worries are by no means groundless. Not to mention anything else, in terms of the personnel arrangements of the Southern Front Command, Li Cunxun hinted that Pei Chengyi's reuse of Su Jinhui is very likely to be related to Gu Weimin, or to the final outcome of this war. In any case, Li Cunxun has no reason to suppress Pei Chengyi, and Gu Weimin has no reason to reuse Pei Chengyi at this time. In this way, when he returned to China to face Gu Weimin, Pei Chengyi must have been worried.

Seeing Pei Chengyi's thoughtful look, Liu Xiaobin was silent for a while, and only when Pei Chengyi took a breath did he speak: "If you need relevant help, just say it, while you haven't returned to Beijing, I'll make arrangements as soon as possible." ”

"What do you think of this person?"

Pei Chengyi suddenly raised this question, which startled Liu Xiaobin.

"I'm just asking casually, if you find it inconvenient, just let me not ask."

"It's the safest line of communication, and there's nothing inconvenient about it." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Although before returning to the Military Intelligence Bureau with Lao Li, Su Jinhui was already a well-known commander of the Concave Army, but according to some top-secret information held by the Military Intelligence Bureau, this general from a military family is very special. How to say it, in terms of talent, he is definitely no worse than any soldier of the same age. If I put it bluntly, even if he compares to you, he is not far behind. It can be said that if it weren't for the previous three Yuan deliberately suppressing the traditional forces in the army, I'm afraid Su Jinhui would have soared a long time ago. In fact, since he became the commander of the concave army, Su Jinhui has paid great attention to his image, rarely contacting those prominent relatives, and even rarely going home. Although in the eyes of most people, this is his rebellious behavior, but from an objective standpoint, we must admit that a general who can command tens of thousands of officers and soldiers can be so immature? Anyway, I have always thought that Su Jinhui is not simple, and there must be things we don't understand in some aspects. ”

"In other words, his city is deep."

Liu Xiaobin smiled and said: "During the Peninsula War, it was you who let the Concave Army play, although you were still a colonel at the time, you should have had contact with Su Jinhui and knew him well. ”

"I did have contact, but I didn't know about it."

Liu Xiaobin shook his head with a smile and did not argue with Pei Chengyi.

"What I want to figure out is, what would Su Jinhui do if he knew that he was facing an impossible task?"

"Mission that can't be done?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, the southern front under his command will end in a fiasco, what will he do?"

Liu Xiaobin frowned slightly, as if he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

Seeing the contemplative look of the deputy director of military intelligence, Pei Chengyi did not continue.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiaobin let out a long breath and said, "As far as I know, letting the Cave army attack Seoul back then was an impossible task in everyone's eyes. ”

"That's what you think?"

Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "As a mature soldier, I believe that setbacks only make them stronger.

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.

"You decided to have a good talk with Su Jinhui?"

"Anyway, he's the front-line commander, and I'm the commander-in-chief, so we have to communicate."

"The problem is" Liu Xiaobin hesitated for a moment and said, "This arrangement is not simple, no matter what you say to Su Jinhui, I think you should have reservations." ”

"I know that." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Earlier we talked about whether we could start the war in advance, and I think that if I bring it up, it will definitely have some unpredictable negative effects. ”

"You mean" Liu Xiaobin frowned slightly, understanding what Pei Chengyi meant.

"It's hard to say how to deal with this matter now, after all, being able to become a general is definitely not a stupid." Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "From my standpoint, the most I can do is analyze the pros and cons of starting a war in advance. ”

"That's why I'm looking for you."

Pei Chengyi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and Soran deliberately reminded Liu Xiaobin.

"A few days ago, I had a good talk with Lao Li, and I felt that the problem was not as simple as we imagined." Liu Xiaobin lit the second cigarette and said, "Lao Li told you." Several years ago, during the administration of our predecessor Yuan, we prepared for a large-scale war in the Middle East. To tell you the truth, a lot of the information we have now is due to the spies who arranged it at that time. There is no doubt that the military side has also made preparations. Only out with secrecy considerations, before that, all military preparations were carried out by the Military Intelligence Service and were not handed over to the General Staff. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, waiting for Liu Xiaobin to continue.

It is precisely because the Military Intelligence Agency has always been in charge of matters related to the Middle East that Pei Chengyi did not know about the relevant situation when he worked in the General Staff. According to Pei Chengyi's understanding, Xiang Linghui must have known, but Pei Chengyi happened to be a senior military adviser in Pakistan at that time, and then participated in the Indian War, and then left the General Staff in order to avoid being involved in military disputes, and he did not even return to the General Staff in the following years.

"I won't say much about the details, and when you have time, we can have a good chat." Liu Xiaobin smiled reluctantly and said, "Anyway, the military operation against the Middle East has spanned two governments, although the preliminary work is in charge of the Military Intelligence Bureau, resulting in many arrangements not in place, such as not formulating a targeted war plan" But these are completely understandable, after all, the two Yuan's plans for the Republic are not the same, and our foreign policy has also changed, so it is difficult to formulate a war plan in advance. ”

"You mean, there's no unanimity up to now?"

Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and said, "If you say it directly, that's what it's all about." ”

Pei Chengyi immediately frowned, this is definitely not a good thing.

This just explains one thing that Pei Chengyi has been suspicious, that is, why Su Jinhui is reluctant to go to Syria. In any case, Su Jinhui must have a way to know the situation at the top, and he knows that the task assigned to him is not simple, so he will not take the most critical step rashly before the situation is clear. In fact, as long as he does not go to Syria for a day, he does not have to take responsibility for it. Similarly, this also made Pei Chengyi understand another thing, that is, why Gu Weimin let Li Cunxun be fully responsible for related affairs, instead of taking this opportunity to win over Pei Chengyi.

Mu Yong doubts, Gu Weimin is definitely not optimistic about this war.

From the day he entered the political arena, Gu Weimin was a representative of the "doves". Prior to this, his most prominent performance was to provide opposite references for Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing, so that the two iron-fisted elements did not go to extremes. In a sense, this is also the key reason why Gu Weimin was able to be reused during the reigns of Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing. It can be said that for the two former yuan, especially Wang Yuanqing, who is known for his toughness, the last thing they need is the kind of subordinates who tend to be inflammatory, and what they need most is a friend who can work with him. This also just explains why Ye Zhisheng was not reused, and Wang Yuanqing did not choose to let Yan Jingyu take over in the end.

As the head of the country, Gu Weimin definitely wants to make a difference.

After coming to power, in addition to continuing to promote political reform and implementing many specific policies, the most important thing Gu Weimin did in China was the "green mountains and clear waters" plan. In the words of the outside world, the adjustment of the industrial structure promoted by Ji Youguo and the political reform promoted by Wang Yuanqing are respectively the soil and rain for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the "green mountains and clear waters" plan is the first achievement on this basis. From a purely political point of view, even if he did this well during his tenure in the old year, Gu Weimin would go down in history and become one of the most contributionous elements in the history of the republic.

In other words, Gu Weimin focused on domestic construction.

That being the case, Gu Weimin has a thousand reasons to oppose intervening in the Middle East war. In fact, from Gu Weimin's standpoint, we can understand that no matter what the Middle East region becomes, what does it have to do with building the great rivers and mountains of the Chinese nation? What reason is there to help the Arabs when the needs of the descendants of Yan and Huang have not been fully met? Besides, helping the Arabs is tantamount to offending the Jews, and what good is it for the Republic to do so?

If you consider that it is very likely to be defeated in the end, Gu Weimin will oppose it even more.

The problem is that Gu Weimin is not Wang Yuanqing, in fact, he is far worse than Wang Yuanqing.

Because he doesn't have the strategic vision of Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin won't think about it so long-term. Although Pei Chengyi doesn't know enough about Yan Jingyu, and it is not clear whether Yan Jingyu has such a long-term strategic vision, one thing is certain. As one of Wang Yuanqing's most trusted people, Yan Jingyu will definitely adhere to Wang Yuanqing's exhibition strategy. In other words, if the Middle East war was planned by Wang Yuanqing, Yan Jingyu would unswervingly carry it out.

In this way, Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu will have a big disagreement.

Because Wang Yuanqing's influence has not yet dissipated, there are not many people in the central government who support Yan Jingyu, in fact, no matter what, as long as Li Cunxun supports Yan Jingyu, Gu Weimin will not be able to do whatever he wants, so on the issue of whether or not to intervene in the Middle East war, the central government will definitely have differences, and they are very different.

When he thought of this, Pei Chengyi looked at Liu Xiaobin on the screen.

"Anyway. You have to make a choice before you get to Beijing, Liu Xiaobin has already lit a third cigarette, "Although the matter has come to this point, we can't get out of it all, but in some cases, if you lose less, you win." In any case, as a co-commander, you have a lot of say and influence on the issue of war, and your opinions, especially your views on the outcome, will definitely have an impact on the final decision. ”

"In other words, I have to stake my net worth and my life."

"In fact, if you withdraw now, you won't lose anything, at most you won't gain anything."

"At this point, if you don't get anything, you lose everything, do you think I can retreat?"

Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and said, "Since you think so, then you have to think of countermeasures as soon as possible, and make full use of this opportunity to return to Beijing." ”

"The point is, I need to know how to use it."

"This" Liu Xiaobin extinguished the cigarette butt, lit the fourth cigarette with his hand, and said, "We talked about Su Jinhui earlier, in fact, you should have a good talk with him." In any case, being able to become a general of the Republic of China's army, and being promoted during the reign of Zhao Lao, is enough to prove that he is a soldier who puts the interests of the country and the nation in his place, and a soldier who deserves our respect and trust. Yuan Chenhao needless to say, even if your relationship with him is not as good as before, but as a general of the Shaozhuang faction, even if he has to do everything for his own future. To put it bluntly, you only have one way out, and that is to complete this task that everyone thought was impossible. ”

"The problem is, faith is not everything."

But Liu Xiaobin, who has no confidence, smiled and said, "There are some things that I don't need to say too clearly, with your mind, it should be clear that in the case of everything possible, it will definitely not be wrong to make more preparations and leave an extra way out." In any case, after the Falklands War, we all experienced setbacks. In any case, many times looking back, it is clear that failure is far less terrible, the key is how to deal with the huge gap caused by failure, and from a practical point of view, it is how to reduce the losses caused by failure, and whether there is a way to leave the capital to play again when you fail. ”

"In other words, I have to prepare myself for a way out."

Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "It seems." There's no need to beat around the bush to talk to you. The new address of this site has been changed to: Regret the heart, please log in to read!

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "I understand what you mean, it's just that it's very tricky." You also know that my situation is probably not much better than Su Jinhui. If you win, it's easy to say anything. If I lose, I am afraid that I will not even have the opportunity to return to the Physics Experiment Center to engage in scientific research. ”

"Anyway, I don't want you to fail."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and did not rush to speak.

"Although as a brigadier general, my abilities are very limited. I'm not afraid of your jokes, I've worked in the Military Intelligence Agency for a few years, and I'm afraid I don't use a gun as much as you received in a military school. But when necessary, I will definitely help you in any way I can. In any case, you are a friend of the Military Intelligence Agency, a friend of Lao Li, and even more of a friend of mine, and we are all for the interests of the country and the nation, not for our own selfish interests. ”

"It seems that I am thinking about the problem."

"At the moment of the great enemy, it is much better to think about it more complex than to think about it simpler."

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case." I'll thank you in advance.

"In this case, I will send a senior agent to the joint command as soon as possible, and I will be responsible for the liaison between us, so that you can also contact me."

Pei Chengyi agreed without thinking about it, but in fact, Liu Xiaobin didn't take the initiative to bring it up. He'll bring it up.

This conversation finally decided the interest-sharing relationship between Pei Chengyi and Liu Xiaobin.
