To Yan Jing Chengyi went straight to the topic, and the intelligence provided by the General Intelligence Bureau was "a small purpose."

"Why didn't Liu Xiaobin send it over in person?"

"He's gone to Baghdad and won't be back until a few days. [No pop-up novel network]"

Yan Jingyu wrinkled his shoulders and flipped through the documents to read.

Pei Chengyi didn't say much, and went to make a cup of coffee when Yuan was looking through the documents.

As mentioned earlier, after Li Cunxun, Liu Xiaobin only has the ability to harvest at most, and it is impossible to bring the Military Intelligence Bureau to a new height like Li Cunxun did at the beginning. With Lin Xiaolei retiring at the end of the year. The battle between the Chief of the General Staff and the Minister of Defense came to an end, and the Military Intelligence Agency was rightfully returned to the Ministry of Defense. As a matter of fact, as early as the first military reform carried out by Ji Jieguo, the Military Intelligence Bureau accepted the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense, but after the second military reform promoted by Zhao Rundong, the superior organ of the Military Intelligence Bureau was already the Ministry of National Defense, not the General Staff, and it only obeyed the dispatch of the General Staff in its daily work, and the General Staff controlled the appointment and dismissal of important posts in the Military Intelligence Bureau by controlling the personnel power of the army. During the third military reform, Wang Yuanqing once again emphasized that the Military Intelligence Agency was subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense, so as to enhance the independence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, after all, during Wang Yuanqing's administration, the Ministry of National Defense basically had no real power. With Pei Chengyi becoming Minister of Defense in Zhao Nian, and regaining the budget power in the Year of Lishi, and regaining the personnel power in the 7th year of the Otter, the Military Intelligence Bureau led by Liu Xiaobin also divided two catties. stage, gradually returning to the rule of the Ministry of Defense.

The second half of the year. Pei Chengyi authorized Liu Xiaobin to integrate intelligence resources under various security-related ministries and commissions, such as the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of State Security. Although in order to avoid the monopoly of the military intelligence agency, Yan Jingyu did not make concessions on intelligence agencies other than security. And let Yan Shanglong and Shuai Yongkang integrate diplomatic intelligence resources and economic intelligence resources respectively. Eventually, the Military Intelligence Agency, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Foreign Intelligence Agency, and the Economic and Commercial Affairs Intelligence Bureau of the Economic Intelligence Agency formed a three-pronged intelligence system, each with its own specialization and its own duties.

But instead of decreasing, the status of the MIA has been greatly enhanced. Because in this intelligence system, the Military Intelligence Agency is the only intelligence department responsible for national strategic security and military security, ranking first among the three major intelligence agencies.

With great power comes great responsibility.

In the first term, Liu Xiaobin's performance was far inferior to Li Cunxun. Not to mention anything else, in terms of employment alone, Liu Xiaobin is much worse than Li Cunxun. In the MIA certain "three dynasty veterans. For example, in the eyes of Cao Xuehua and others, Li Cunxun is the most "enlightened" director in the history of the Military Intelligence Agency. Even Wang Yuanqing believes that Li Cunxun is a very good way to use people. And know how to use good leaders. The year before the head of the government, Liu Xiaobin gave people the biggest impression that everything was too big and small, and he had to take care of any problem, and rarely gave his subordinates a chance to perform. It wasn't until the end of the year, probably because of the lack of energy, and the fact that he was getting older and older, that Liu Xiaobin gradually let go and only played the role of a decision-maker, leaving the things that needed to be done by his subordinates. Arguably, this is a remarkable step forward, at least in the eyes of many. After four, Liu Xiaobin's body had some Li Cunxun's appearance. Of course, compared with Li Cunxun, Liu Xiaobin is still not so free. As long as it involves the fundamental interests of the country, he will take responsibility for it personally. Otherwise, at this critical juncture, he would not have left the task of reporting the situation to Yuan to Pei Chengyi, and went to Baghdad by himself.

Look at it from another angle. It can also be seen that Liu Xiaobin and Pei Chengyi have an extraordinary relationship.

Recommended. In the year of the blade, many people thought that Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and Liu Xiaobin were an unbreakable iron triangle in the republican ** team. When it came to four, that is, after Pei Chengyi became the deputy premier of security, Yuan Chenhao became the director of the Operations Division of the General Staff, and Liu Xiaobin was re-elected as the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, no one doubted the relationship between the three of them.

No doubt. In this iron triangle, the apex must be Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and Liu Xiaobin are the two fulcrums.

Although, in the eyes of many, the chief of the operations chief of the General Staff is much more important than the head of the military intelligence department. There are three reasons for this:

It was after the General Staff Headquarters was suppressed by the Ministry of National Defense that its functions and powers were greatly restricted, just as the personnel department, the logistics and equipment department, the budget office, and other institutions have all become decorations, and only the reinstatement of the operations department has increased instead of decreasing. Because the Ministry of Defense is an administrative body, not a military command body. In the absence of a climate formed by the "Council of Chiefs of Staff". There is no single body under the Ministry of Defence that can replace the Operations Division of the General Staff.

Second, Tang Yinglong retired the following year, and several army generals with the same influence as him had either retired or were in other posts, and the chief of staff of the army was Lieutenant General Fang Xin, who was much less qualified. Although he became famous in the Five Old Fighting Battles of the Peninsula War, after the Peninsula War, Fang Xinzhong's life was not comfortable, and he was not promoted to army general until the year of his wife, that is, the year before he became the chief of staff of the army. It can be seen that with Pei Chengyi gradually leaving the army, and it is very likely that Yuan Chenhao will already be the most influential general in the Republic Army when he takes off his military uniform.

The third is the special relationship between Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi. As a partner in the Indian War and the Middle East War, Yuan Chenhao accompanied Pei Chengyi to fight, and made great contributions twice, and his relationship with Pei Chengyi can be imagined. In the eyes of many people, Yuan Chenhao is not only Pei Chengyi's most capable subordinate, but also the second Pei Chengyi who is comparable to Chenxin. Therefore, Pei Chengyi spoke to the peak of the power of the republic. Yuan Chenhao is definitely the most important supporter.

But those who go to understand the situation know that by Pei Chengyi's side, Liu Xiaobin is the most important person. At least in the two years from the four to the fierce, even Yuan Chenhao could not replace Liu Xiaobin.

When Pei Chengyi finished drinking a cup of coffee, Yan Jingyu turned to the last page of the document.

Although it was only roughly over, Yan Jingyu's expression had become very serious. As several previous national meta-commentators have commented, as an intelligence agency, the military intelligence agency has never reported good news. As long as there is major news about the change with the Military Intelligence Agency. It's all bad news for sure.

Although this is a little bit out of time, it is completely true at this time.

After closing the document, Yan Jingyu pondered for a while. It wasn't until Pei Chengyi made another cup of coffee that he put down the file, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, lit it and smoked it.

Pei Chengyi was still very patient, and he knew that Yuan would definitely take the initiative to break the silence.

"It seems that we don't want to cause trouble, and trouble will come to our door." Yan Jingyu smiled bitterly, easily extinguished the net and smoked a third of the cigarette. From this move, it can be seen that he is very polite to Pei Chengyi, because Pei Chengyi is one of the few senior leaders of the republic who has quit smoking. "Anyway, it's not eight years ago, and since the trouble came to us, we had to find a way to solve it

"Liu Xiaobin will be back in a few days

"If there's anything to be done, he'll be in touch with us at any time. Besides, you have visited Baghdad several times and know the Iraqi authorities very well, so I don't think Liu Xiaobin will gain anything, and most of the time it will be a trip for nothing

"No matter how small the hope is, if you don't fight for it, you will give up."

Yan Jingyu nodded, knowing that Pei Chengyi was speaking for Liu Xiaobin. "In any case, Liu Xiaobin should not waste precious time in Baghdad."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, he knew. Yan Jingyu has always been dissatisfied with Liu Xiaobin's style of doing things.

"How reliable do you think this information is?" Yan Jingyu took the initiative to change the topic. In any case, the Military Intelligence Agency is the most important intelligence agency of the Republic, and Liu Xiaobin is also Pei Chengyi's most important partner. As the head of the country, there is no need for Yan Jingyu to blame Liu Xiaobin too much in front of Pei Chengyi.

"It's been graded as Class A." Pei Chengyi looked at the cover of the document, and it was clearly marked with a very eye-catching "A." Word. According to the MIA's intelligence rating standards, because the English alphabet is used to indicate the level of secrecy of the intelligence. Therefore, the "heavenly stem" is used to identify the reliability of information. "A" is the highest level.

"In other words, ten out of ten are stable, and there will definitely be no accidents?"

Pei Chengyi nodded, knowing that Yan Jingyu was still a little hesitant, so he changed his words and said: "In fact, when I visited Baghdad and Damascus for the second time two years ago, Syria and Iraq gave hints on this issue, but at that time we were in a hurry to solve the Kurdistan issue. So it didn't pay attention. As is customary, after the visit, I handed over the relevant matters to Liu Xiaobin and asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to collect intelligence.

There is something wrong with Yingran Liu Xiaobin's way of doing things, but we have no reason to doubt his professional quality. If it weren't for the accurate and reliable information, he wouldn't have sent it, let alone gone to Baghdad to find out the situation himself

Yan Jingyu lit the second cigarette and waited for Pei Chengyi to continue.

This action shows that Yuan is already thinking seriously about the problem, because only when he seriously thinks about Lu Question, Yan Jingyu will not pay so much attention to the feelings of the people around him.

"Eight years ago, we won on the northern front, but we failed to give an account on the southern front that satisfied the Syrian authorities, Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "Although we have been fulfilling our promise to help Syria modernize all these years, we have always owed something, and this is the key to limiting our Middle East policy." ”

Yan Jingyu let out a sigh, and his expression seemed to freeze.

What Pei Chengyi mentioned is not a trivial matter that is dispensable or lightweight, but a key major event related to whether the republic can smoothly jump out of the surrounding areas, march towards the world, and become the world hegemon. In the final analysis, the republic vigorously pursued "deontology" after the Middle East war. "Replace the "hegemonism" of the United States. If you can't keep your promise. Why should the Arab countries in the Middle East believe in "deontology" by playing with the interests of the allies? Into the arms of the Republic?

Fulfilling a promise is definitely not a simple matter of a word.

As Pei Chengyi said, the republic owes Syria a small amount and must help Syria regain the provinces of Dara and Quneitra controlled by the United States and Israel if it wants to make good on its promises. In this way, the republic would have to tear up the armistice and take the initiative to provoke a war. Because this is a war for no reason, the republic is doomed to a dilemma. Of course, it is not without solutions. During his first visit to Damascus, Pei Chengyi said that after the armistice agreement expired, that is, in the year of Ning, the republic would consider sending troops to help Syria regain lost territory. During his second visit to Damascus, Pei Chengyi also met with the Syrian authorities if the United States and Israel tore up the armistice agreement. The republic will send troops.

It seems that Pei Chengyi's assurances have played a role. Since the end of the year, armed attacks against the occupying forces in the US-Israeli occupied areas have increased dramatically. The American officers and soldiers were killed and wounded. Thankfully, Landers had changed his schedule the day before and stayed in Tel Aviv instead of traveling to the US-Israeli-occupied zone in southern Daraa province.

Due to the armistice treaty, the US-Israeli coalition did not retaliate and only imposed martial law in the occupied zone for several months.

The problem is that the attacks against the US-Israeli coalition have not ended, but have intensified.

The year 8 was the worst year for the US-Israeli coalition forces to be killed in the occupied territories since the armistice came into effect, with a total of four American GIs and Israeli soldiers killed. The new address of this site has been changed to: Talk about the fetal o muscle see Shan, please read it in white!

Entering the year of ferocity, attacks against the US-Israeli coalition forces continued to escalate.

According to the information released by the US-Israeli Coalition Forces Command in mid-July, in the first half of the year, some US officers and soldiers who jumped out of name and those who were proud of their names were killed in the battle of attack and counter-attack.

As the violence intensifies, the patience of the US-Israeli coalition will soon reach its limit.

It is precisely for this reason that the intelligence provided by the Military Intelligence Agency clearly mentions that with the intensification of violent attacks against the US-Israeli coalition forces, which are covertly supported by the Syrian authorities, the US-Israeli coalition forces may tear up the armistice agreement at any time, or Israel unilaterally break the armistice agreement, and according to the assurances made by Pei Chengyi in Damascus four years ago, the Republic will definitely send troops when Syria is invaded, and it will definitely do everything in its power to help Syria win and regain lost territory. Although the intelligence also mentions the current situation, that is, the new US president must have restrained his foreign policy, and even promised voters to withdraw troops from southern Syria as soon as possible during the election campaign, no one can underestimate Israel's boldness. Especially at a time when the lives of Israeli officers and soldiers are seriously threatened. There is a good chance that the Israeli authorities will retaliate recklessly, thus providing Syria with a reason to go to war.

That is, the republic is in danger of being drawn into a large-scale war.

Of course, this is only one of the problems.

When Yan Jingyu turned his gaze, Pei Chengyi continued: "The Syrian problem is still relatively easy to solve, as long as the Israeli authorities are still a little sensible, they will not create a war before Kunnian." Even if we take 10,000 steps back, the Israeli authorities have launched a retaliatory strike on Syria, and as long as the Israeli army does not cross the ceasefire line, we do not have to worry about getting involved in the war, and even have a chance to stabilize Syria. In fact, the real trouble came from Iraq. ”

Yan Jingyu smiled bitterly, extinguished the second cigarette and lit the third cigarette.

"According to the description in the intelligence, the ambitions of the Zrak authorities have been ignited, otherwise, they would not have attacked Kuwait's idea at this time."

"The question is, what benefits can such a war bring us?"

"It's all about what we want."

Yan Jingyu frowned slightly, and then laughed.

Historically, Kuwait was part of Iraq until the end of the old century when it became a British colony and gained independence after World War II. It was on this ground that Saddam Hussein sent troops to annex Kuwait. It led to the largest regional war in the second half of the century, and it was also the region with the greatest disparity in strength.

With Iraq once again becoming a great power in the Gulf region, the Iraqi authorities have once again set their sights on Kuwait.

For the Iraqi president, it seems that only by "reconquiring" Kuwait can he prove his civil prowess, and he has been preparing for this long after the end of the war in the Middle East.

The problem is that the Republic does not interfere with this.

This is the "purpose" mentioned by Pei Chengyi. That is, the ultimate goal of the Republic's Middle East strategy is not to help the Arab world accomplish the great cause of reunification. If so, then in the case of Iraq-Kuwa, the Republic will have to judge the situation and suppress the arrogance of the Iraqi authorities. The reason is simple, if Iraq again sends troops to annex Kuwait. Even if Uncle Sam could not engage in a second Gulf War with hundreds of thousands of troops from dozens of countries as he did four years ago, the Republic would not want to gain benefits, because the Middle Eastern countries in the Gulf region would certainly throw themselves into the arms of the United States again in order to protect themselves, and become a stumbling block to prevent the Arab world from moving towards reunification.

The point is here, should the republic actively help the Arab world to move towards unity?

Although in the eyes of the outside world, this is a fundamental problem, because since the Republic has unequivocally supported the unification of the Arab countries since before the beginning of the Middle East war, any politician knows that it is absolutely impossible for the Republic to unconditionally help the Arab world to accomplish the great cause of reunification. It can even be said that for the foreseeable future, the great cause of Arab unity will be a means for the Republic to fight against the United States, not an end of the struggle.

In fact, none of the authorities of the republic has reached a consensus on this issue.

It is precisely in this way that when this issue is mentioned, Pei Chengyi will make the problem clear. In any case, Jae-won did not give a pound to the ultimate goal of the Middle East strategy. With a clear answer, as Minister of Defense, Bae Seung-yi has no reason to make a decision on behalf of Yan Jingyu.

This is also the reason why Yan Jingyu laughed, because Pei Chengyi kicked the ball at his feet.
