Episode 16, Chapter 2: Absolutely Deserved
"This is the ...... that Tu Poor Dagger has seen," Ning Zhengdao said lightly: "The worst news should come, so take this opportunity to discuss and vote." β
Ning Zhengdao glanced at a young man sitting in the back. This person's name is Bi Xiao, the interim Minister of the Interior of the Eastern Alliance, thirty-nine years old, and a proud protΓ©gΓ© of Ning Zhengdao.
"My opinion is to resolutely fight back and completely tear through the camouflage of the other party's lustful inwardness. Immediately dispatch the Alliance's first, third, fourth, sixth, and ninth fleets for daily patrol missions, and designate the relevant sea areas as military restricted areas. In addition, the Third Army, the Fifth Army, was sent to assemble in a northeastern direction. Bi Xiao said: "In addition, as the rotating chairman of the alliance, the head of the Great Russian Federation was invited to pay a friendly visit to Yajing City, communicate on the development of seabed precious metal resources in the Northeast Sea, and further discuss the cooperation between the two countries in space defense, and express understanding of the willingness of the Great Russian Federation to enter the World Energy Organization, and the desire of the Great Russian Federation to join the world currency circulation system." β
"Isn't it too costly, their appetite is too big. The Asian-American Empire is a wolf suppressed by the Alliance, and the Great Rus' Federation is a tiger entrenched around us. Lang Shiqi said: "Actually, I think we can listen to the requirements put forward by the Asian and American empires before making a decision, otherwise acting rashly will give the world a wrong signal, after all, the world situation is critical at this time, and it will affect the whole body." β
Ning Zhengdao looked at Fang Zhaoji, Fang Zhaoji's cold and resolute face frowned slightly, and then said, "The military will unconditionally support the decision of the meeting." As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I agree with Bishaw's words. β
Ning Zhengdao's face relaxed slightly.
"My political affairs are resolved by political means, and once we get involved in the military, it is easy to cause radical changes......
The speaker was Ling Huzong, chairman of the alliance's Supreme Military Preparatory Committee, and the first leader of the military on the surface, because he was nearly twenty years older than Fang Zhaoji.
Basically, on every important issue, Fang Zhaoji and Ling Huzong have different views. Of course, this is not to say that the two forces are in a state of hostility, but that the military needs to speak from two positions. Fang Zhaoji and Ling Hu Zong, as the leaders of the military's largest forces, have a deep tacit understanding in everything. One person is the current supreme leader of the military, and the other is the next supreme leader of the military. If both sides express different views on every major issue, then the fact that one side of the military always stands on the right side means that the military will always be right. Moreover, Ling Hu Zong plays the dove, and Fang Zhaoji plays the hawk, and they also have to speak from the standpoint of their own character attributes.
"I believe that the results of the Holy Capital Agreement have not come easily." The rotating chairman of the alliance, Aki, suddenly raised his hand and said in a very non-fluent Chinese: "If you enter the military operation level, then all the previous efforts will be in vain." And I don't think things have developed to such a bad point, and it can still be solved by political means......"
Aki said as several members of his side whispered to him, these were the heads of the small union republics in the alliance.
"Your Excellency Ning, of course, this is only the opinion of a few countries in our subtropics, just for reference, we, as a union republic of the alliance, are willing to obey the supreme decision of the conference." Aki added.
Aki is the nominal supreme head of the Eastern Alliance despite serving as the rotating chairman of the Alliance. But in such supreme meetings, he usually spoke very little. And it is generally the opinion of the heads of state of many subtropical countries when they begin to speak.
Gu Qi, who had just returned to the conference room, said: "I agree with Minister Bishaw's opinion, but I also think it is necessary to send members to test Prince Mei Jiyan's final opinion. Of course, it is better for this person to be tempted by not an official of the Union government, and does not represent any position of the Union government. ..., Ning Zhengdao sighed slightly in his heart, there was no doubt that Bi Xiao's opinion was his opinion. However, as the future supreme head, he cannot directly put forward his own opinions, otherwise if he is denied by the decision-making level, the loss of face will be a trivial matter, and the prestige of the supreme head of the alliance will also be threatened, and over time, the supreme order of the alliance will also be moved. Therefore, as the supreme head of state, it is easy not to express an opinion, and once an opinion is expressed, it must be finalized, which is the tacit understanding and unspoken rule of the highest ruling class of the alliance, and everyone must abide by it.
So, he asked Bishaw to come out and say. However, Bishaw's opinion was rejected and rejected by the majority of the members
The highest decision-making level of the alliance is made up of three carriages, four to be exact.
Political power, economic power, military power, union republic power.
Ning Zhengdao and Gu Qi represent political forces. Lang Shiqi represents the economic power, and there is another member of the economic force who did not speak, and it exists as an important supplement.
Linghu Zong and Fang Zhaoji represent the military forces. Aki represents the forces of the Union Republics. The current situation is that 6 of the 7 top decision-makers oppose Bi Xiao's opinion, that is, Ning Zhengdao's opinion. Of course, as Ning Zhengdao's deputy, Gu Qi must not go against Ning Zhengdao, so he also verbally supported Bi Xiao's opinion, but he proposed a neutralizing plan, and actually agreed with Lang Shiqi's plan.
All Ning Zhengdao could do was sigh softly, and of course he motioned to Bi Xiao to make this extremely tough proposal. But in reality, this is not his opinion either. He won't be so aggressive, he won't be so sloppy. He was just trying to use the proposals to test the minds of the decision-makers, and of course he was disappointed with the results.
"It is worthy of the old Cheng Mouguo, so he will do it according to Gucci's opinion." Ning Zheng did not change his face, and he was not at all disappointed because his opinion was rejected in the meeting.
Of course, the highest decision-making level present would not feel that Ning Zhengdao had fallen into the disadvantage, and no one would be so frivolous.
"And who to send?" Ning Zhengdao looked at Lang Shiqi and said, "Who do you think you want to send?" β
Lang Shiqi opened his mouth to say his name, paused slightly, and changed his words: "You must have made a bamboo in your chest, and whoever you say will go, let whoever goes." β
"Then let Lin Lifu go." Ning Zhengdao.
Everyone hurriedly agreed. There is no doubt that everyone knows that it is to let Lin Lifu go, but let Ning Zhengdao say it.
Lin Lifu, the head of the Lin family, Lin Xiaoman's father, and Prince Mei Jiyan have the deepest "friendship".
Forty-five minutes later, the results of the negotiations between Lin Lifu and Prince Mei Jiyan came.
"The conditions of the Asian-American empire are as follows."
"First: the Asian-American Empire unconditionally joins the Eastern Alliance, unconditionally obeys the leadership of the supreme government of the Alliance, and unconditionally does not obey the leadership of the head of the Alliance, who is the sole will of the entire Alliance, including the Asian-American Empire."
"Second: The Asian-American Empire unconditionally accepted the leadership of the Supreme Military Council of the Alliance, and sent members of the royal family to serve on the Supreme Military Council of the Alliance. A joint command was established to oversee the military defense of the Asian and American empires, and half of the members of the command were appointed by the Coalition Military Council. And the establishment of the Imperial Special Mecha Unit, which numbered in the hundreds, to protect the safety of the royal family of the Asian and American Empires. All expenses were paid for by the Imperial Family, and the Supreme Commander of the unit was sent by the Supreme Military Council of the Alliance. β
"Third: the Asian-American empire unconditionally accepts the economic integration of the alliance, the monetary integration, but it will take a ten-year integration period. As a sign of sincerity, during the ten-year consolidation period, the Empire will establish the Eastern Reserve Bank, which will transfer part of the Empire's existing huge cash reserves and gold reserves to the Eastern Reserve Bank. The bank will fully comply with the orders of the Union's Central Bank and cooperate with the Union's new monetary system reforms. Fourth: Because a few days ago, the Imperial Palace of the Asian and American Empire in Yajing City was surrounded by the private armed forces of the Ministry of Supervision and intimidated by war, so that the Imperial side misjudged the will of the Alliance. Damage to the image of the alliance and a significant part of its interests. Therefore, the royal family of the Asian and American empires hereby formally wants to file a lawsuit with the Supreme Military Court of the Union against Song Wulun, an official of the Ministry of Supervision, for his private war acts, and to express their obedience and acceptance of any judgment of the Supreme Court. β
"Finished......" After the Minister of the Interior, Bi Xiao, finished reading the document, he directly put the document on the surface, and then sat up straight without saying a word.
Actually, there is no need for him to read it, everyone here has the same document, but everyone needs a time to think about it. Otherwise, when the discussion is held, you haven't figured out how to speak, resulting in a cold scene.
Ning Zhengdao was very angry, and the fingers holding the pen even trembled slightly. He was not angry that Prince Mei Jiyan had put forward such harsh conditions, but that some interest groups within the alliance were so mad that they shamelessly betrayed the interests of the alliance and colluded with Prince Mei Jiyan for personal gain at a critical moment when the interests of the alliance were at stake.
This draft overturns all of the "Holy Capital Agreement" that had previously cost countless lives and blood. The alliance's military reorganization and integration of the Asian and American empires is gone, the terms of the alliance's jurisdiction over many ports of the Asian American empire are gone, the unified use of the alliance currency to cancel the Asian American empire currency is gone, and in short, the provisions involving the alliance's substantive integration of the Asian and American empires are all overturned.
In exchange, the Asian American Empire symbolically obeyed the leadership of the Alliance, and the abolition of the Alliance garrison was replaced by the establishment of the Royal Mecha Special Guard, a mecha special guard team of several hundred people, all of whom were from the Asian American Empire, and the supreme commander was sent by the Alliance Military Council. Obviously, this position is reserved for Fang Jianxi, and it is the best gilded position.
The most infuriating of all is the third clause, in which the Asian-American Empire not only proposes a ten-year period of monetary consolidation. Moreover, it is preparing to set up the Eastern Reserve Bank with the alliance chaebol forces to seize the right to issue the alliance currency. The Asian-American empire has a political name, and the plutocracy is rich and powerful. If the two succeed in colluding, it will usurp the ultimate power of the alliance economy.
Finally, the Asian and American Empires are ready to unite with the chaebol forces to directly destroy Song Wulun's body.
"Chaebol forces, ...... should be killed" Ning Zhengdao said secretly in his heart, but anger was to no avail.
"There are still about two hours until 19:33, and everyone is trying to negotiate a result within these two hours." Ning Zhengdao said expressionlessly.
"I'll start with my opinion." Fang Zhaoji said solemnly: "I'm a soldier, and I'm not interested in other things, and I don't understand, so I'll talk about this second article." β
"I strongly disagree with the second opinion. It is said that it accepts the leadership of the Supreme Military Council unconditionally, but in fact there is no mention of the stationing of the alliance in the Asian American Empire, nor of the integration of the existing armies of the Asian American Empire. It's too pragmatic for me to strongly disapprove of it. Fang Zhaoji's words were very decisive and fast.
"What about the other terms?" Ning Zhengdao asked.
"I'm a soldier, and I don't understand anything else, so I don't have any opinions." Fang Zhao said.
"Then I'll say a few words." Lang Shiqi said: "I don't agree with the third opinion, the Asian and American empires proposed to agree to a unified currency, if the alliance currency area, this is a good thing." But it proposes to participate in monetary reform, and even in the issuance of currency. This is too costly, and I personally reserve my opinion for the time being. β
"What about the other terms?" Ning Zhengdao still asked.
"Specializing in the arts, I don't have any opinion on other terms." Lang Shiqi said. "I'm in charge of the security intelligence unit." Chen Ping said: "So I'll talk about the fourth point." What does the Asian and American empire want to do? Even if Song Wulun went too far, even if he violated the laws and will of the alliance. That's also an internal matter of our alliance itself, and we don't need its Asian and American empires to dictate it. "...," said the Asian-American Empire, which is also a member of the Alliance, is not a finger-pointer. Dura, chairman of the Economic Preparatory Committee of the Alliance, suddenly laughed.
"I think the third is understandable." Aki, the rotating chairman of the alliance, said suddenly: "Moreover, the Asian-American empire has a population of 300 million, accounting for nearly 20% of the alliance's total economic output. Its failure to participate in the monetary reform is irresponsible to the people of the Asian American Empire, and it also shows that the Asian American Empire also sees itself as part of the alliance, according to the proverbial sense of ownership. Of course, this spirit is also shared in our subtropical union republics. β
When these union republics saw that the royal family of the Asian and American empires had the intention of getting their hands on the big cake of the Union's monetary reform, they hurriedly took advantage of this shareholder wind to want a piece of the pie.
"As a representative of the military, first of all, I would like to state that I am not very satisfied with the second clause. But I think you have to be steady, one step at a time. I don't think it's realistic to want to take over the millions of troops of the Asian and American Empire at once and take over their national defense power at once, think about it, if we were the royal family of the Asian and American Empire, we would not agree. I think the first goal is to pull the alliance out of the maelstrom of war first, and then talk about other things slowly. Linghu said.
"I agree with this, first pull the alliance out of the whirlpool of war, and the rest will be considered in the long run." "That's my immature opinion," Gooch said. β
Listening to these people's speeches, Ning Zhengdao was expressionless at first, and in the end, he couldn't hold back the sneer on the corner of his mouth. Which one of you is not a masterpiece? Which of Mei Jiyan's tricks is not clear? Which man does not know the mind of the other man like fire.
That's a good idea. Collusion with chaebol forces and military forces to the detriment of political forces and the destruction of the Skull Party forces.
The plutocracy has reaped the most abundant fruits, stretching out their dirty hands to contaminate the currency reform, and the military has gained face and actually reaped so-so, but the military leaders have personally reaped a lot of benefits. This set of divisive differentiation is very skillful.
The other small republics did not benefit in any way, but there was a glimmer of hope in it. Since the Asian and American empires and the chaebol can reach out to the monetary reform if they cooperate, if I cooperate with the chaebol, can't I eat this piece of Tang monk meat?
The current situation is that the economic forces represented by Lang Shiqi agree with this plan, and the military does not oppose it, but implicitly agrees with it. The forces of the Union Republic agreed with this plan and had expectations. Ning Zhengdao stood on the opposite side of the three forces at once, and the Skeleton Party must have stood with him, but the level of this meeting was too high, and Song Wulun was not qualified to come in.
Ning Zhengdao remembered what some people said: With such a temporary grass platform team, everyone will only have different dreams in the same bed. Such an alliance, it is better not to.
You're desperately trying to build the table, but your partner is secretly taking the bricks from the table and selling them for money. If you want to drive them away, if you want to turn their faces, then this platform will collapse. If you don't drive them away and don't turn your face, then sooner or later this platform will be smoked into a dry shelf.
Now there are only two options for Ning Zhengdao: First, accept and compromise. Second, veto.
As the leader, of course, Ning Zhengdao can veto it, and he can also make a final decision, but the consequences of the next trigger, even the consequences of the war, will be fully borne by Ning Zhengdao's forces.
"Supposedly, I should have gone with the flow." Ning Zhengdao stood up and said slowly: "I have also repeatedly warned others that as a politician, you must not gamble. Otherwise, even if you win 9 times, you will lose once and you will have nothing. This seems to be what I told Song Wulun......"
"Speaking of Song Wulun, his official position is very small, only at the level of deputy minister. It is estimated that there will be thousands of people in the entire league. But everyone here knows that he has a lot of power and power, and he doesn't listen to anyone here. But we set up a table and didn't let him come up, didn't let him have the right to speak, and took the opportunity to consolidate his right to speak. As soon as Ning Zhengdao's words came out, everyone's color changed. ..., no one thought that Ning Zhengdao's words would become so sharp and even mean as a future leader.
"As for me, I also play mahjong at this table. Supposedly, I should support this mahjong table, and I should firmly believe that the alliance only has this one mahjong table, and everything else is illegal. To deny this table is to deny myself, and if I overturn this table, I will be finished. Thanks to all of you, I made a temporary cameo appearance as the leading brother. Then I wondered how we had a good hand. Why can't you beat a foreign player with a miscellaneous hand? Those who can eat are not eaten, those who can be barred are not barred, and those who can be hu are not fried. According to the landlord, holding a pair of bombs in his hand to play a new bomb, just don't blow up, and watch the other party finish the cards. β
"So, I stopped playing. I handed over the game to Song Wulun, and I was willing to gamble with him once, and I was willing to bear any consequences. Ning Zhengdao asked everyone with a smile.
The faces of the people were very strange, some were annoyed and angry, and some were expressionless.
Lang Shiqi suddenly smiled and said: "You are the supreme leader, you have the final say......"
"Then I'll be away for a moment and come back by 19:33." Ning Zheng said, and then the top-secret phone dialed Song Wulun and said, "Song Wulun, I bet on your side." But before 19:33, you have to see the winners and losers, and if you lose, I will also lose, and the league will also lose ....... β
"Yes......" Song Wulun replied lightly.
"Little Tang Tang, let's go, go and meet Mei Jiyan." On the helicopter, Song Wulun beckoned to Tang Xiaoyan and ......,
