1160 Halfway out of the journey to bite gold
ββ¦β¦ Will they really believe it? Fortunately, Xu Jing has enough brains, as long as she is willing to explain patiently, she can still understand most of the truth, but she is not too optimistic about this approach.
Now there are almost no people in the upper echelons of the alliance who don't know what is going on, and everyone knows what is going on, is it still useful to play this fake trick again?
"At least some people will believe it, and those who really don't want to believe it can be gradually replaced, which is also the focus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future. Whether it is the top level of the government or the military, who doubts, who doubts, who supports, who is sincere and who is hypocritical, you must be sure to know in your heart...... Go and see what's going on at the door! β
Is it useful? In fact, Gao Tianyi didn't have a bottom in his heart. It's not that he's stupid, how to prevent usurpation has been a big problem since ancient times, and no one has been able to give a solution for thousands of years.
The previous system did avoid this to a large extent, but unfortunately it was not perfect, and it was only partially completed. And the self-management area that Hong Tao built after he came back is just to make up for the gap in the system.
If he makes up for the shortcomings and gives the people the power to say no, it will be even more difficult and almost impossible for anyone to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat. It was precisely because he saw this that he instigated the early autumn and the reformers to desperately oppose it from the very beginning.
However, due to the change of position, after I got power, I missed the original system a little. To paraphrase a folk proverb, stepping on the pedal board immediately changes your mind, also known as the butt decides the head. has gone from thinking about how to break the rules for his own benefit, to playing hard to maintain the rules and prevent others from turning the tables.
At this time, Jiao Qiao, Lin Na, Lu Yejiangnan and others are no longer the biggest threat, they have already come out of the power struggle. In political struggles, there are no permanent friends, allies, and enemies, and it is very common for people to get cold as soon as they leave, and it will not be long before people forget about them completely.
Killing them yourself is not only useless, but it will also make some people with power in their hands fearful, and even take risks, but keeping them is more in line with the current needs.
But before he could explain the meaning to Xu Jing clearly and thoroughly, he saw several figures shaking at the gate of the courtyard from a distance, as if they were arguing with the guards and the plainclothes of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
ββ¦β¦ It was someone from the General Staff who said that there was an urgent telegram to be handed over to Pan Wenxiang! Xu Jing took out the walkie-talkie from the small bag that matched the dress and asked a few words, and turned her head to ask Gao Tianyi's opinion.
Today's dinner has a very high level of security, and all guests are required to hand over their weapons and communications equipment.
"You go and see what's going on...... Gao Tianyi was a little annoyed, why did he even block military communications.
But if you don't stop it, you can't do it, and now the deputy minister of the armed forces is still Zhang Tao, and it is impossible to determine whether this person is reliable or not in a short time. There are also some officers in the staff who are not very credible, if they don't control it tightly, they will have to follow in the footsteps of Wang Yingan one day and be killed by a bullet.
"It's a telegram from Minister Niu on the front line...... Xu Jing came back a few minutes after passing with the guards, holding the translated message in her hand with a somewhat strange expression.
ββ¦β¦ When was this happening? Gao Tianyi took it and took a look at it by the lighting of the lanterns at the entrance of the building, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Minister Niu received the message from the commander-in-chief of the Southern Group and immediately forwarded it, plus it was sent here from the General Staff, probably more than half an hour ago! There is a radio station in the telecommunications office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs where you can contact Minister Niu, do you want to check it out immediately? β
Xu Jing saw the man's expression and knew that the matter was a bit serious, so she didn't bother to go in to attend the dinner, so she lifted the hem of her skirt and was ready to act at any time. Just wait for Gao Tian to nod and immediately run to the office building.
ββ¦β¦ Go and call Pan Wenxiang out, I'll go inside first, and send someone to notify you as soon as there is news! β
Gao Tianyi thought about it, and felt that the current news was not accurate, and it was not good to be too nervous, after all, there were still so many guests, and he had to take care of his face. But I feel that Xu Jing alone may not be able to understand the truth, and it is better to let professionals do professional things.
Unfortunately, less than half an hour after the dinner began, he was called out again, leaving only Hibek to preside over in his capacity as foreign minister. And he didn't show up for a long time, which made many representatives who were waiting to talk and communicate with him alone a little confused, and kept asking Hibek questions.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have just received a report from the front that our encirclement and suppression operation may have encountered some unexpected troubles, and the details are not yet clear, and Mr. Chairman has gone to the General Staff to inquire in person. The banquet will continue, and I will keep you informed if there is any new development. β
Hibek was overwhelmed by the questioning, so he had to send someone to find Xu Jing, only to be told that the chairman and the interior minister had left the council residence by car half an hour earlier. Calling on the walkie-talkie again, Gao Tianyi said that he should stabilize the banquet scene first, and the specific situation is still in contact with the front line, and no one is very clear.
Hearing the news, the guests who came to participate in the banquet immediately lost their interest in eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, but few people chose to leave, and they all gathered in several circles and began to talk to each other, speculating about what was going on on the front line, so that the chairman had to personally command.
Gao Tianyi and Xu Jing did go to the war room of the General Staff Headquarters, accompanied by Pan Wenxiang, looking at the map on the wall and the huge sand table model on the desktop, and listening to the specific explanations of several staff officers according to the telegram sent back from the front, and the hour hand at this time was pointing to the position of ten o'clock in the evening.
"Chairman, unfortunately, I have just received a telegram from the commander-in-chief of the Southern Group, Yu Division, that his command and main forces have withdrawn from the city of Ha and are advancing along National Highway 205 and the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway towards Shuyang at the speed of a rapid march, and are expected to arrive in the early hours of tomorrow morning.
He said that the city of Ha encountered a sudden attack from millions of zombies in the south, and three lines of defense in a row were broken through, and he had to abandon most of his baggage and move north, and he was unable to build a new defense line at present, and asked us what our plans were? β
At this time, a staff officer took the latest message from next door, Pan Wenxiang took it and looked at it, sweat began to appear on the tip of his nose, but he didn't care about wiping it, and immediately relayed it to Gao Tianyi, and then waited for instructions with blank eyes.
He was secretly happy about the departure of Jiao Qiao and Lin Na at first, and with these two people, the southward battle plan proposed by the General Staff was never supported. Now, not only is no one stopping it, but the minister's position is vacant. Zhang Tao has the hope of correcting, and he may be able to go further if he works hard.
But then the sudden departure of Zhou Yuan, Zhang Ke, Liu Quanyou and others, coupled with Niu Dafu's inexplicable official reinstatement, made him nervous again. Linked to the resignations of Jiao Qiao and Lin Na, it is not difficult to conclude that a war for power has begun, and the situation is becoming clear, and the reformers have won a complete victory.
By this time, Pan Wenxiang had already guessed what was happening, but he was originally more inclined to reformers, and he did not have much resistance to Gao Tianyi's assumption of power, let alone worry about being purged, and even a little lucky.
He was never very interested in Hong Tao's theory, and finally took advantage of the troubled times to become a master, but as a result, he was not allowed to enjoy anything, let alone have privileges, so what kind of strength did he have to be a master.
But with the assassination of Wang Ying'an, Yu Zhen's secret surrender of military power, and Zhang Tao and Lan Di becoming rubber stamps, he realized that under the premise of no rule protection, holding power in his hands is not necessarily a good thing. It's a lot like a fused grenade, ready to kill an enemy and blow itself up at any time.
Looking down at the General Staff Headquarters again, it is really a critical moment, but this organization that commands operations does not have the slightest military power, let alone supporting the troops and respecting themselves, and without the explicit text of the Armed Forces Department, it is a dream to mobilize a company.
Fear has always been hanging over Pan Wenxiang's heart in the past few months, and he has not even actively participated in the action of encircling and suppressing the so-called mutants in the south. The plan made by the staff department was made step by step, and as for Niu Dafu, who was responsible for the specific command of the operation, he could not carry it out or not, and he could not control it, and he would do whatever he liked!
Sure enough, the operation finally went wrong, and it actually ran into an army of zombies. This Nima is not a troubleless disaster, fortunately it is not a plan made by himself, otherwise the basin is just buckled on the head, and if he can't keep it, he will have to give way to others.
