Pick up the principle of problem solving. On the evening of his arrival in Damascus, Pei Chengyi rushed to the war plan and went to the Syrian presidential palace with Liu Xiaobin, intending to persuade President Allende.

Although it was the first time he met Allende, Pei Chengyi had long heard of the legend of the president.

As the terminator of the Assad family, Allende was commander of the Syrian army and chief of staff before overthrowing the former regime in a military coup and announcing the dissolution of the Baath Socialist Party, and before that, he was also the commander of Assad's guard. In other words, Allende is a vested interest in Syria, and he carried out a military coup to overthrow the Assad regime and hate the Assad family, but to save Syria. In fact, Allende is inextricably linked to the Assad family, and his brother-in-law is a member of the Assad family. The fact that Bashar al-Assad, who had fled the country after the military coup, was not wanted and returned to Syria in the year of the coup shows that Allende did not have any intention of dealing with the Assad family. Judging from the series of policies implemented by Allende after taking office, he can be regarded as the most capable and selfless president since Syria's independence.

After being formally elected president of Syria in the general elections of the regiment year, Allende began to implement reforms. Although some Western media still have Allende rigged the election to win the election, judging from what he has done since he officially assumed the presidency of Syria, whether he rigged the election or not, he is a very rare enlightened leader. During the first two terms of service, from the regimental year to the year of the sword, Syria's relations with European countries improved considerably.

During his meeting with the French president in Paris, Allende made it clear that as long as Israel is willing to return all of the occupied Golan Heights and parts of the province of Quneitra and Dara'a, Syria will officially recognize Israel and end the decades-long state of war. Because Syria is the last country among Israel's neighbors other than Palestine to not recognize Israel, and because there is a dispute over whether Palestine is an independent state, Syria can be regarded as the last obstacle for Israel to gain the recognition of Arab countries, so Allende's attitude is tantamount to making major concessions, and it is also the last effort of the Syrian authorities to pin their hopes of recovering the Golan Heights on Western countries. It is a great pity that Allende's efforts have not yielded any results, and Israel does not intend to withdraw its troops from the Golan Heights at all, or even to negotiate with Syria.

At the beginning of the year, Allende visited Beijing. The address of this site has been changed to: Bigu, please read the law!

It was from this time that Allende pinned his hopes for the recovery of the Golan Heights on the Republic. Although in the following years, the Republic was busy resolving peripheral problems and troubles in other regions, and did not pay close attention to the situation in the Middle East, and the European Union, led by France, hoped to make more contributions to international affairs, carried out active diplomacy in the Middle East, and hoped to promote Syrian-Israeli reconciliation, but because the Israeli authorities have been unwilling to negotiate with Syria on the issue of withdrawing troops from the Golan Heights, Allende has not changed its basic policy in Syria.

It's a pity. Syria is a small country, and even an aspiring president can hardly make a difference.

For Allende. The greatest achievement is not in the military, but in economic construction. Although it is difficult to understand, in any case, Allende is a military-turned-president who does not know much about the economy, but no one can ignore the important person around Allende, that is, his wife Betia Allende. During Allende's first two terms, Betia served as Minister of Finance and then Minister of Economy and Trade. Arguably. Allende's success owes a large part to Betia.

She is not only a very rare female politician in Arab countries, but also a strong woman who is proficient in economics. Of course, it all has to do with her origins, as she is the only daughter of the Syrian shipping magnate Tamans.

It is precisely because of the tremendous achievements made in economic construction, especially during the Great Depression. Allende had the support of the entire nation. Fourth, when his second term was about to expire, a massive political movement broke out in Syria, that is, Allende's third term as president to change the constitution, or to change the constitution for Betia's presidency. Interestingly, it was Allende who demanded that the president be re-elected for a maximum of two terms in the new constitution, and it was he who refused to abolish the rule that women would not be president. Although in the eyes of many. A few years ago, Allende did this to gain the trust of the people and to prevent the people from thinking that he was not a fighter for democracy who abolished the family hereditary system, but merely replaced the Assad family, who had ruled Syria for decades. But judging from the events of the murderous years, Allende really has no idea of seeking a third term, and he does not intend for Betia to recognize the female president of Syria.

In the end, enlightened voters in Damascus, Homs, Latakia and other cities supported Betia, while conservative people in remote districts supported Allende's re-election. As a result, Syria was threatened with secession, so Allende had to give up the idea of retiring and promised to run for the third presidential election of the Syrian renewal party. Before that, of course. In his capacity as President, he was able to sign constitutional amendments submitted by the National Assembly.

From the old year of force to the year of the otter beater. Allende has lived in the presidential palace for an ugly year.

When Pei Chengyi came to visit, in a few days, the legendary ruler of Syria would be one year old.

It doesn't look like Allende's old man with a quick blade,

When Allende carefully read the war plan thugs, Liu Xiaobin glanced at Pei Chengyi from time to time, and seemed to secretly sweat for Pei Chengyi.

As a president from a military background, Allende's military qualities are not bad.

Maybe Pei Chengyi doesn't know, but Liu Xiaobin can't be unclear.

In addition to factors such as the huge difference in strength between the two sides, the most critical reason for the rapid end of the Syrian-Israeli war was Allende. To be exact. If it weren't for Allende's acceptance of the republic's proposal. Negotiations for an armistice with Israel without winning the war will certainly not end quickly. In a sense. Allende's decision at that time also saved the republic.

According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, it was his accurate judgment of the battle situation that made Allende feel that it was he who made it.

To know. At the time, almost no one supported the truce, and even Allende's wife opposed negotiations with Israel. Insist on a decisive battle with Israel. The reason why Betia and others resolutely fought was simple: Israel's signing of the Treaty of London was tantamount to a disguised admission that nuclear weapons would not be used first under any circumstances. It cannot pose a strategic threat to Syria, and Israel cannot destroy Syria no matter how the war is fought; As a large country, Israel has a small land area and no strategic depth at all. When the war expanded, it was much more affected than in Syria; In other words, when the war reaches a certain scale, it will certainly not be Syria that will beg for mercy first.

In a sense, Betia et al. are not wrong in their understanding.

The question is. Betia and the others were not soldiers, so they did not consider a more serious problem.

That's a stroke, yes. Will the United States sit idly by when Syria counterattacks Israel, or if one day Syria gains the initiative and launches a strategic counteroffensive?

As a military man, Allende had to think about it.

Exactly. Before the war could be devastating to Syria, that is, Syria's defense forces, Allende chose to negotiate very sensibly.

What's more, Allende took full advantage of the domestic opposition.

Because the secret contact with the Syrian authorities at that time was the Military Intelligence Agency, and Li Cunxun gave him this important task in order to exercise Liu Xiaobin's ability to preside over the overall situation, so Liu Xiaobin was very aware of the situation at that time. When the Republic proposed that Syria should hold armistice talks with Israel as soon as possible, Allende hoped that the Republic would give corresponding help and commitments on the grounds that it had received many objections, including military assistance, and later the Republic made an exception to sell advanced weapons and equipment such as the Shoji, Zhaokou, and Xiaokou to the quasi-allies, which had a great deal to do with the promises made at that time. According to the normal principle of arms exports, Syria can only get weapons and equipment at the beginning of the year, not weapons and equipment of the end of the year. It can be seen that Allende is not only a soldier, but also an excellent politician. In any case, before the military coup, Allende's main identity was that of President Assad's Guard, and he worked beside President Assad for nearly a year. No stranger to politics.

For Syria, Allende is definitely a very rare and excellent president.

For Bae, Allende is a president who will not be fooled.

It took several minutes to turn to the last page before Allende closed the file. It was clear that Allende had thought deeply before letting the guest know that he had finished reading the documents.

"There is no doubt about it. General Pei's military talent is beyond doubt. Allende smiled and patted the papers on his hands. He smiled and said, "I have to admit that the war plan that General Pei came up with in a few hours is much better than what I came up with in months." ”

Liu Xiaobin's brows jumped a few times, and it was obvious that Allende had a true opinion about Pei Chengyi's war plan.

Pei Chengyi smiled. He said: "Your Excellency the President does have a vision, and I can't hide it, this is indeed the war plan that I drafted in a few hours, and the specific sentence that lasted for several months. As a soldier, His Excellency has all the more reason to believe that no matter how powerful a general is, it is impossible to defeat the enemy without a discerning leader, a large group of talented staff officers, and a strong army. In modern military systems, commanders often play the role of decision-maker, not execution

Hearing Pei Chengyi say this, Liu Xiaobin immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Allende couldn't help but look at Pei Chengyi twice, and after a while. Only then did he say: "I didn't expect that General Pei was not only very good at fighting, but also very eloquent. ”

"Your Excellency has won the award, excellent soldiers, you must have the ability to encourage your subordinates to speak."

Allende smiled and shook his head, because Pei Chengyi's words were complimenting him. Allende was able to overthrow Assad in a military coup and avoid serious bloodshed. There is a lot of laughter with the commander of the guard who succeeded in convincing Asa, that is, his brother-in-law. What's more, Allende's back-to-back victories in the second general election are not unrelated to his outstanding oratorial talents.

"Okay. In any case, this war plan is far from perfect. "The address of this site has been changed to: anti-goo, please log in to read!

"That's true, we need enough money for the lady of the building, and we must admit that change is always faster than counting five, and there are perfect plans in both the bookkeeper and the cabinet." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "Listening to Director Liu, your country hopes that we can install an experienced commander. We attach great importance to your comments. Although it is impossible for me to personally command your ** team to fight, after all, this is not a war in which only my country and your country participate, my task is to coordinate combat operations in several directions, and the commander I want to recommend first has already gone to Iran, so I cannot cooperate with your army, but I can assure Your Excellency. The upcoming general is definitely one that Your Excellency can trust, and he is also one of the best generals in our country. ”

"The question is. I don't even know who he is. ”

Pei Chengyi let out a sigh and looked at Liu Xiaobin.

"Because the southern battlefield is very critical, and it involves the issue of our country's direct dispatch of troops, we need to make more detailed consideration of the specific selection of front-line commanders."

That is to say. You didn't make a choice. Allende shook his head with a smile and turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi. said, "General Pei, I appreciate your military style very much, but have you ever given up on it. What you're doing now is likely to make me veto your proposal in one go?.

"Of course I did. And I think Your Excellency is likely to do so.

Allende frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand what Pei Chengyi meant.

"To tell you the truth, if I were in Your Excellency's position, I would do it, because Syria is the front line, and the war will not burn the republic, and as the president of Syria, Your Excellency has no need to think about the interests of the republic." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "I have more reason to believe that Your Excellency's failure to reject us has a lot to do with Your Majesty's long-term considerations and the information you have learned from the Iranian authorities. In fact, we have made the most solemn promises to the Iranian authorities and will give the same guarantees to Syria. In the same way, after the outbreak of war, we will not only provide military assistance to your country, but will even send troops to participate in the war. Your Excellency should know that at the time of my visit, the second round of secret negotiations between my country and the United States on the Kurdish issue had come to an end, and that there was little hope for a third round of negotiations. To put it more bluntly, when we argue with the United States about the Kurdish issue, one is to fight for a reason for war, and the other is to buy time for war preparations. It is a great pity that our basic conditions are much worse than in comparison with the United States. Among other things, the United States has about 20 military bases in the Middle Sea region. Dozens of military bases can be obtained from neighboring allies at any time, and we have only three military bases in the Middle East, and at most a few in your country, Iran, and Iraq during the war. That is, in the case of comparable scale of war preparations, we need much more time than the United States. To save time. We must be frugal in everything, and we need a high degree of trust and support from your country. To that end, we must be open and honest and have no concealment or reservations. ”

Allende let out a sigh and said, "According to General Pei's intentions, we are inferior to Iran. ”

"It's not inferior. But according to the actual situation, the war will not start on this side. To put it more bluntly, the situation in the Golan Heights direction will not deteriorate until there are decisive advances in the fighting in the Zagros Mountains. Pei Chengyi took two sips of water and continued, "In fact, the battle in the direction of the Golan Heights will determine the final victory. As I said at the beginning, Your Excellency has no reason to think about the interests of the republic, and we are not thinking first of all about the interests of Syria. The problem is that we must admit that now the interests of your country are fully aligned with the interests of the republic, that is, to win this war. What's the point of worrying about the post-war situation if we can't achieve the ultimate victory, and which is more important? ”

Allende nodded slightly and said, "Then what General Pei means is that we should reach an agreement as soon as possible." ”

"Exactly. Only by reaching an agreement can the front-line command be formed in time and preparations for war can be completed as soon as possible. "The address of this site has been changed to: Remove the heart, delete please read the law!

"I'll give you a final reply as soon as possible." Allende hesitated. "Last question, when will the general sent by your country arrive?" ”

Pei Chengyi did not answer this question because it was not a question he could answer.

"We will arrange it as soon as possible. In fact. General Pei had already said in the war plan that he was stunned very clearly, and we did not immediately send the generals over, mainly out of secrecy considerations. ”

Allende glanced at Liu Xiaobin and didn't ask anything more.

Liu Xiaobin didn't stay long, and left the Syrian president after bidding farewell to Allende with Pei Chengyi.

Because he didn't say hello to the embassy, Pei Chengyi didn't plan to spend the night in Damascus. Liu Xiaobin had to stay to deal with other specific details, and returned after sending Pei Chengyi to the airport

District.

On the way back to Gwadar Port, Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had only spent a few hours in Damascus and was not well admired by the night, the ancient city with a long history of the following year was older than any other city in the republic, but the Syrian president made a deep impression on Pei Chengyi, and Pei Chengyi also made a good impression on Allende. Anyway, it's a good start. And a good start is half the battle.
