While Xinglong's plane was still flying over the Pacific Ocean, Pan Yunsheng received news that Secretary of State Leslie and Presidential National Security Adviser Stockton had left Washington and flown to Kuala Lumpur and Manila. With years of experience working in intelligence, Pan Yunsheng concluded that the trip of the US Secretary of State and National Security Adviser was anything but simple. When he received Zhao Rundong's call, Pan Yunsheng was arranging a mission for the "No. 3 agent" of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

When he came to the study room of Xipuyuan in the head of state's capital, Pan Yunsheng immediately felt that the atmosphere was wrong.

Peng Maobang was smoking a cigarette, Gu Weimin and Zhao Rundong were talking in a low voice, and Xu Zhengdong was introducing Pang Xinglong to what had happened in the past few days.

Pan Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and sat down on the chair beside Peng Maobang.

"Everyone is here, Xiao Pang, you can introduce the situation first."

Pang Xinglong nodded and said: "I won't introduce the first round of final, mainly because the United States voted against it." Before the second round of voting, we presented very convincing evidence that, with the exception of Russia, which was somewhat resistant, all other members of the Security Council except the United States supported the imposition of comprehensive sanctions against Vietnam. The debate before the vote dragged on for nearly three hours, with the representative of the United States taking the floor, after which the United States abstained. ”

"Before that, you were in contact with Leslie?"

Glancing at Pan Yunsheng, who was asking, Pang Xinglong said: "The talks only lasted for half an hour, and they all talked about the impact of sanctions against Vietnam. Leslie's argument that sanctions against Vietnam will further deteriorate the pattern of global trade has failed to form any consensus on unfounded grounds. ”

"It's obviously testing our confidence."

Pang Xinglong nodded. "I also tried to change the subject. Leslie did not give any answers to other questions. The overall feeling for me is. Leslie is sophisticated, tactful, very organized, diplomatic, and difficult to deal with. Perhaps he is a decision-making figure in the United States. ”

"As Secretary of State. He should also be a decision-making figure. ”

"Maybe it's not that simple."

Heard Pan Yunsheng's words. Zhao Rundong and the others immediately looked at him.

"Received the message a few hours ago. When Premier Pang left New York. Leslie and Stockton departed for Kuala Lumpur and Manila respectively. Pan Yunsheng paused slightly. Said. "Before the Security Council votes. Leslie met with the Philippine Foreign Minister. Then head to the White House. Also on the White House are Stockton, Berkeley and Treduy. The CIA definitely got the message. It is known that Vu Sam Minh and Dawn Jie Di troops are fighting in Hanoi. If I'm not mistaken. It was in this meeting. Frederick abstained. Leslie and Stockton then visited Malaysia and the Philippines. ”

"What does this mean?" Gu Weimin immediately asked.

Pan Yunsheng smiled and looked at Zhao Rundong. In the past, this kind of strategic analysis was the business of Ji Youguo.

"It's clear that the U.S. has adjusted its strategy." Zhao Rundong rubbed his forehead and said, "The infighting among the Vietnamese high-level has made Frederick completely lose confidence in Wu Sanming. If Frederick, or some of the top American decision-makers, were shrewd enough, they could have guessed that Nguyen had fallen into our hands. Under these circumstances, it is only a matter of time before our country sends troops to Vietnam. Because Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie were both Adou who couldn't be supported, the United States decided to give up Vietnam. Sending Leslie and Stockton to Kuala Lumpur and Manila shows that the United States will not make greater concessions. ”

"Making a fuss about the South China Sea and the Spratlys?" Gu Weimin asked again.

Zhao Rundong nodded. "In addition to Vietnam, the United States can take advantage of the South China Sea and the Spratly Islands. We can look at the problem from a different angle and from the standpoint of the United States. ”

Seeing Zhao Rundong's thoughtful appearance, even Peng Maobang concentrated his energy.

"In the beginning, the United States pinned its hopes on Vietnam, hoping that Vietnam would become a stumbling block for our country. In the old planning of a military coup d'état, only by chance. Even if there is no great discovery on the Sichuan Plateau, the United States will cause us problems elsewhere. According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Agency, Wu Sanming's eldest son has been rebelled by the CIA and has become an important bridge for Wu Sanming to cooperate with the United States. From this, it can be concluded that a few years ago, Wu Sanming was working for the United States. Although this conclusion seems incredible, until a more reasonable explanation is found, we can only believe that Vo Thanh Minh, as the president, not only betrayed Vietnam, but also betrayed his own motherland. ”

Except for Xu Zhengdong, who had just learned about these things, the others were not surprised.

"I have to admit that the U.S. operations in Vietnam and Laos are very well planned, and there is something wrong with our intelligence system." Zhao Rundong glanced at Pan Yunsheng and said, "Fortunately, the outstanding performance of the military and intelligence departments has made up for our mistakes. Civil unrest broke out in Vietnam, disrupting Frederick's arrangements. Whether it is supporting Wu Sanming or supporting Li Mingjie, we must first eradicate the domestic opposition before we can deal with us. Under such circumstances, it will not only be difficult for the United States to use Vietnam to contain us, but it may also fall into a quagmire. ”

"Frederick can only take a gamble."

Hearing Peng Maobang's words, Zhao Rundong smiled slightly and said, "It's not a bet, it's a bet on two." ”

Peng Maobang frowned slightly, and was about to speak, Pan Yun

A cigarette past.

"First of all, Frederick will not give up on Wu Sanming immediately. If Vu Sanming kills Le Minh Jie, the United States will continue to provide military assistance to Vietnam. If my judgment is correct, the next phase of U.S. assistance will not focus on heavy equipment such as combat aircraft, but on light weapons used to fight guerrilla warfare. Before making this decision, Frederick will analyze our military strength. As long as the U.S. believes that we cannot quickly overthrow the Vietnamese regime, it will allow Vu Thanh Minh to flee south, using Ho Chi Minh City as a companion capital to fight a civil war with the northern regime we support. When the time comes, we will definitely provide military assistance to the northern regime, and even send troops to help the northern regime eliminate Wu Sanming. From Frederick's point of view, we must think that we will repeat the mistakes of the past, repeating the tragedy of the US military in the 60s and 70s of the last century. Under these circumstances, it is not surprising that we spent hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of war costs in Vietnam. ”

"Obviously impossible, if we really want to make a move, we will occupy the whole of Vietnam in one fell swoop."

"I don't think it should be occupied, the Vietnamese problem should be solved by the Vietnamese, there is no need for us to meddle."

"Fix it yourself? Ruan Liangyu is just a civilian official, why should he deal with Wu Sanming? ”

"The problem can't be looked at this way, although Ruan Liangyu is a civilian official, it is not Ruan Liangyu who loses the hearts of the people, but Wu Sanming."

Seeing Peng Maobang and Pang Xinglong arguing, Pan Yunsheng immediately grabbed the chief of the general staff, and Zhao Rundong gave Pang Xinglong a look.

"There is some truth in Lao Peng's words, and if we want to do it, we must consolidate Ruan Liangyu's ruling position." Zhao Rundong paused a little and said, "Xiao Pang's words are not wrong, there is no need for us to intervene in the Vietnamese civil war at all. As long as we publicize Vu Sanminh's traitorous acts, the vast majority of Vietnamese people will rally around Nguyen Luong Ngoc. In addition, Nguyen Luong Ngoc is an expert in governing the country, and his ability to engage in the economy is probably not under Premier Pang, if he is helped to make some achievements, the Vietnamese will naturally make a wise choice. This is not the last 60s and 70s, when the United States suffered a crushing defeat in Vietnam, and it does not necessarily mean that we will not be able to solve the Vietnam problem. It's just that we can't be arrogant, and we can't look at no one.

Vietnam is a country of 80 million people, and if we get bogged down in the Vietnam War, the future of the country and the nation will be severely tested. We will solve the Vietnamese issue in whatever is most beneficial to us, not by force, nor by force. ”

Pan Yunsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zhao Rundong's ability to control the "situation" was indeed not bad.

"At the beginning I only said the first bet Frederick made. The second bet is probably already in everyone's mind. Zhao Rundong smiled faintly and changed the topic, "For us, whether we can solve the Vietnam problem well depends on the speed of action, and we must take action before Wu Sanming and Li Mingjie fight together." Frederick knew this very well, so he sent the secretary of state and security adviser to Malaysia and the Philippines to try to hold us by the hand in the South China Sea and the Spratlys, so that we could not concentrate our efforts. ”

"In other words, the United States will woo Malaysia and the Philippines in the promised way?" Pan Yunsheng asked.

Zhao Rundong nodded and said: "The Philippines will definitely fall to the United States, so we must be prepared to attack the Philippines according to the previous deployment." Malaysia's attitude is open to debate. Judging from the information sent back by Huang Guowei, although Malaysia is very tough on the Nansha and South China Sea issues, it has not closed the door to negotiations. The better we fight on the battlefield, the greater the impact on Malaysia. As long as Malaysia is made to realize that we have the determination and ability to recover the Spratly Islands and the territorial waters of the South China Sea, the gains and losses of defecting to the United States will outweigh the losses, and the negotiations will yield results. In order to achieve this goal, there is only one thing that needs to be done, and that is to hurt the Philippines and make an example of the monkeys! ”

"If we don't make any diplomatic preparations, if we carry out a military strike on the Philippines, the impact will definitely not be good."

"Of course, we have to be diplomatically prepared." Zhao Rundong glanced at Pang Xinglong and said, "Issue an ultimatum asking the Philippines to give a positive answer to China's request within 24 hours." ”

"But......" Pang Xinglong sighed, "it's too straightforward, isn't it?" ”

"What's so straightforward? Issuing an ultimatum is already very face-saving. ”

Hearing Peng Maobang's words, Zhao Rundong shook his head with a smile. "The army needs to be ready. With an ultimatum, not only will all the islands occupied by the Philippines be recovered, but the Philippine Navy will also be annihilated. However, for the time being, do not hit targets other than ports, air bases, and air defense positions. ”

Peng Maobang nodded, indicating that he understood what Zhao Rundong meant.

"Xiao Pang, you have to contact the Prime Minister of Malaysia as soon as possible. In terms of negotiations, we can make some concessions, but not too obviously, so as not to make Malaysia feel that we have made concessions. After Huang Guowei comes back, you can discuss it carefully. ”

Pang Xinglong sighed and didn't say anything more.

In the end, Zhao Rundong left Pan Yunsheng behind and let everyone else go back.

Damn it**
