Rao is question is more than a thousand sensitive, and in the middle of the discussion, Wang Fangqing dispersed the meeting on the seven Guichuan Fufu, and then put several important generals, including Pei Chengyi. As well as important government leaders such as Gu Weimin, Yan Jingyu, Ye Zhisheng and Yan Shanglong, they stayed.

The conference hall was too big, and everyone followed Wang Yuanqing to the study.

After bringing the tea in, Jiao Kuishan left the study with the guards.

Pei Chengyi couldn't help but look at Yuan's assistant Xi, and when he saw Jiao Kuishan's performance, he felt that he couldn't become the second Wang Yuanqing.

Although Pei Chengyi is not a government official and doesn't know how Wang Yuanqing arranged Jiao Mianshan, as long as he gets involved with Wang Yuanqing during this time, he can become a focus topic, including Jiao Kuishan, who has struggled with Wang Yuanqing for many years, and the people are most concerned about whether Jiao Kuishan will become the second Wang Yuanqing. Wang Yuanqing's ability to have today is inseparable from his many years of following Ji and hurting the country's strength. In fact, many years ago, some people compared Jiao Kuishan with Wang Yuanqing back then, and even many people thought that Jiao Kuishan had the temperament of Wang Yuanqing back then. Not to mention anything else, in his daily work, Jiao Mianshan is very similar to Wang Yuanqing back then, he doesn't like to talk and does things seriously.

The problem is that Jiao Panshan is not Wang Yuanqing. More importantly, Wang Yuanqing is not a Ji Guo.

Although there have long been rumors in the outside world, Jiao Panshan is one of the three major talents discovered by Wang Yuanqing during his tenure in Guangxi, and his status is only below Yan Jingyu and Ye Zhisheng, and even more important than Ye Zhisheng. In addition, according to folk rumors, Jiao Mianshan is one of the "five tiger generals" in Wang Yuanqing's government, namely Yan Jingyu, Ye Zhisheng, Yan Shanglong, Jiao Kuishan, and the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and he is the one closest to Wang Yuanqing. But fundamentally speaking, Jiao Weishan is far worse than Wang Yuanqing back then. Not to mention anything else, Wang Yuanqing's current achievements, in addition to his relationship with Ji Youguo, have a lot to do with his contribution in "Yan Huang Jige", and Jiao Weishan does not have this foundation. In terms of the ability to handle affairs, Jiao Panshan is far inferior to Wang Yuanqing back then. At that age, Yuguo could confidently and boldly hand over many things to Wang Yuanqing to do, but Wang Yuanqing never handed over major matters to Jiao Weishan, but always regarded Jiao Weishan as a secretary.

In fact, none of this is the key, the biggest impact is the current situation.

At that time, Ji Yanguo focused on cultivating Wang Yuanqing because it was impossible for him to change the republic within the resignation of a thug, and it was even impossible to bring the republic on the right track in his lifetime, so he had to cultivate a strong successor who could adhere to the reform line and bring the republic on the road to prosperity. In other words, if it was not Wang Yuanqing who was by Ji Youguo's side at that time, but Jiao Kui Mountain, then Jiao Pan Mountain would also be reused. By the time Wang Yuanqing leaves office, no matter whether or not Ji Youguo's long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, at Wang Yuanqing's age, he will definitely be able to see the republic on the right track during his lifetime, and there will be no need to cultivate a strong successor. Naturally, there is no need to focus on who to cultivate. Wang Yuanqing's choice of Gu Weimin instead of Yan Jingyu shows that he does not value the previous relationship on the issue of successor, or that Wang Yuanqing is determined to abolish this unreasonable system and hand over the power to choose the country's leaders to the citizens. In fact, this is one of the main purposes of political reform. Under such circumstances, Wang Yuanqing had no reason to focus on cultivating Jiao Pan Mountain.

There is no doubt that a few months later, Jiao Mianshan's best result is to take up a local post.

Considering Wang Yuanqing's political stance, it is very likely that Jiao Beishan will not go anywhere, and most of them will stay, either in a certain official position in the State Council, or in the Yuan Mansion.

In any case, unless Jiao Piaoshan is determined to jump out of this circle, he will never become the second Wang Yuanqing.

Pei Chengyi didn't think too much about this issue, after all, Jiao Kuishan's stay didn't have much to do with him.

"At the beginning, we talked about the Middle East issue, to be honest, this is the most reassuring problem for me Wang Yuanqing glanced at the more than ten people in the room and said, "There were many people before. A lot of things are hard to say, and those who stay now are insiders, so you don't have to worry about anything, just say anything. I don't want to explain too much about how important the Middle East is. You must realize that the struggle over the Middle East has been going on for more than 2,000 years, starting with the war between the Persian Empire and the Greek city-states, and whoever controls the Middle East controls the entire Western world. ”

As soon as Wang Yuanqing said this, who dared to be careless, and concentrated their energies.

"Some people may wonder why we have only emphasized the importance of the Middle East at this time, and what have we done before?" Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "In fact, as early as twenty years ago, we were in the Middle East. You should know that after the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, there were four Middle Eastern countries in Ji Lao's nine-nation trip. Of course, our focus is not on Iran. In fact, a country like Iran cannot be our ally. If nothing else, the religious position of the Iranian authorities is unlikely to be acceptable to us. What's more, we have long had evidence that the Iranian authorities are not only supporting anti-American Islamic extremist forces, but also secretly supporting separatist forces in Xinjiang. To put it bluntly, if it were not for Iran's anti-American stance, we would certainly not have given Iran any help. ”

Hearing Wang Yuanqing's words, Pei Chengyi was not surprised, and shook it as completely consistent with his judgment.

Yuan Chenhao kicked Pei Chengyi and looked very impressed.

"There is no doubt that we have essentially no allies in the Middle East. "Egypt understands very well that no matter how much weapons and equipment the Egyptian authorities buy from us and how close their relationship is with us, as long as we cannot provide the most basic security guarantees, Egypt cannot become our ally." In fact, Egypt maintains relatively close relations with us, in large part by using us to keep the United States through its commitment to secure a relatively peaceful relationship with Israel through the United States. Not to mention Syria, in addition to purchasing a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, the Syrian authorities are secretive about joining the intensive bloc, which shows that Syria does not want to get too close to us and thus become a pawn in the game of great powers. Of course, in a sense, as long as Syria does not give up its ambition to dominate the Middle East and willingly occupies a corner of peace like Jordan, it is impossible for Syria to change its fate as a pawn of a great power, and the difference is only whose pawn it becomes. ”

Seeing that Wang Yuanqing was very interested, the others were not in a hurry to speak.

"In fact, the Syrian authorities have no choice." Wang Yuanqing knocked on the handrail of the sand and said, "As we all know, before the issue of the Golan Heights is resolved, Syria will not only be unable to reconcile with Israel, but also have to be prepared for a war with Israel. It is precisely for this reason that when countries in the Middle East have turned to the United States, Syria still unswervingly adheres to its anti-American stance. Is it possible, then, that the problems of the Golan Heights will be properly resolved? There is no doubt that if the United States still dominates the world, the dispute over the Golan Heights will not cause much trouble, if not a fundamental solution to it. Now the question is. It is no longer the United States, or not only the United States, that dominates the world. Imagine what would happen if Israel returned the Golan Heights to Syria? Among other things, there will be no guarantee for Israel's survival.

At that time, even if the United States sends tens of thousands of troops to Israel to be stationed in Israel, it may not be able to stop the torrent of steel in Syria. You know, more than a decade ago, the United States just lost a war on the Korean Peninsula, leading to an important ally going down in history. The Jewish nation is the smartest nation in the world, and it is impossible not to be ignorant of the stakes involved, and it is impossible for them to make concessions on the Golan Heights. To put it simply, Israel can return the Sinai Peninsula to Egypt and allow Palestine to establish a state, but it will never give up the Golan Heights. As long as Israel refuses to budge, the Syrian authorities will have to adhere to their anti-Israeli stance and will have to adhere to their anti-American stance, thus becoming a pawn in the hands of the major powers

"It's all about how you use the piece

"Lao Gu is right, how should we use this chess piece?" Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath, turned his gaze to Pei Chengyi, and saw that Pei Chengyi didn't mean to speak, so he looked at Yuan Chenhao again and said, "On the surface, Syria naturally has the foundation of an alliance with us, after all, Syria is not double-faced like Iran, and it is still supporting today, and it will secretly support the separatist forces tomorrow." The problem is that Syria is also not honest, and very dishonest. Although Iraq has been politically turbulent and has joined the anti-American camp after the Iran war, Syria can only ally with Iran and counter Israel with Iran's support throughout the Middle East. That is, Syria has extremely close relations with Iran. How close? According to the information we have, Syria has long sold some of the weapons and equipment imported from our country to Iran. Of course, you should have read the relevant reports, how many of Yimin's so-called self-developed weapons have nothing to do with our weapons and equipment? ”

"If it were, the chances of getting Iran involved are very high

It depends on whether the Iranian authorities are willing to get involved in the Syrian-Israeli conflict, or whether the Iranian authorities think that Syria can defeat Israel, Wang Yuanqing smiled and said to Yuan Chenhao, who began to speak, "Don't underestimate the wisdom of the Iranian authorities, who can defeat tens of thousands of US troops with the strength of the whole country, which is enough to prove the ability of the Iranian authorities." In fact, the situation in the Middle East has been hot for several years without war, and the key is that both sides are not sure in their hearts, and even the United States is not sure. Intelligence agencies have long confirmed that the United States has always had the idea of overthrowing the Syrian regime and that it has been operating in the wake of the Iran war. As a result, the US military screwed up in Iran, coupled with our tough stance with Russia, the US authorities had to restrain themselves and put aside the plan to strike Syria. The United States does not dare to make any moves, and Israel naturally needs to be said. Of course, Syria has no bottom in its heart. In fact, even Iran has no bottom in his heart. The reason is simple, the Iran war has caused much more damage to Iran than the outside world knows. According to our estimates, it will take at least 30 years for Iran to recover. In other words, it will be ten years before Iran can eliminate the effects of the war and basically reach the pre-war level. There is no doubt that in ten years, I am afraid that there will be no Iranian dialect

Hearing this, Pei Chengyi frowned.

Obviously, Wang Jiaqing has something to say.

In other words, Yuan Chenhao hesitated for a moment and said, "Iran has no choice at all, will it create instability in the Middle East?" ”

"To be precise, to use Syria." Gu Weimin corrected Yuan Chenhao's statement.

This is the case, Wang Yuanqing let out a long sigh and said, "This is also the game I am most worried about." The Iranian authorities are not stupid, they know very well that after the Falklands conflict, we will try our best to attack the United States, so as to gradually weaken the global influence of the United States, and for the final decision, we will not do it blatantly, fortunately, we Shen Long" and have enough strength to challenge the United States, and there is no need to challenge the United States. As soon as the Iranian authorities are aware of this, they should quickly make a political choice between closely following Russia or shifting sides. This is not a difficult decision, and Iran will not think about it if Russia is strong enough. So, what will Iran do to gain our trust? If I were the leader of Iran, I would first consider the question of whether the republic could admit Iran? In fact, Iran's leadership is already thinking about it. Among other things, since the London summit at the beginning of the year, the Iranian authorities have stopped actively supporting Islamic extremist groups outside the country. This is a signal to us to reconcile with us. Come and don't be rude, and we've responded. ”

Pei Chengyi was secretly startled and looked at Yuan Chenhao.

Yuan Chenhao was also shocked, obviously these things did not go through the South Asian Theater Command, and must have been handled by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

"The initial response we have received is that as long as we recognize Iran's hegemony in the Middle East and give Iran the necessary security guarantees, Iran will not only provide detailed information about the separatist groups, but will also take active actions to ensure our interests in the Middle East." Wang Yuanqing paused a little and said, "In other words, Iran will secretly support Syria and let Syria start a war." All we have to do is to properly imply that Syria will openly support Israel if necessary, such as when the United States is openly supporting Israel. We will give maximum support and assistance. ”

"The point is, will Iran take Russia into the water?" Yuan Chenhao immediately asked.

"That's the key." Wang Yuanqing smiled faintly and said, "It has not been determined until now, because the Iranian authorities have not given an answer on this issue." It is completely understandable that Iran has to rely on Russia until now, and if we go back on our word, Iran will not be human, and not only will it not get anything, but it will even be isolated by the international community. There is no doubt that the United States will be more than happy to overthrow the Iranian regime, and we will use Iran again to contain the United States. That is, Iran will not give an answer on this question without any guarantees on our part. ”

Yuan Chenhao was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, Pei Chengyi kicked him below.

"The problem is that we can't give Iran any guarantees until the situation in the Middle East becomes clear." Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "In this way, there is a dead knot." I have consulted several times with Lao Gu, Premier Yan, Vice Premier Ye, and Foreign Minister Yan, and everyone feels that for the time being, we can only deal with it coldly and wait for the situation to change. Of course, there is reason to believe that the United States has encountered the same problem and has chosen the same means of response. ”

Yuan Chenhao seemed to think of something, and looked at Pei Chengyi.

Touching Yuan Chenhao's gaze, Pei Chengyi knew that he couldn't be an audience anymore. "I think the crux of the problem is not with Iran, but with the United States

Seeing Pei Chengyi speak, Wang Yuanqing smiled slightly and motioned to continue.

"To be precise, can the United States afford to give up Israel?" Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "Fundamentally speaking, the Falklands conflict has had a great impact on US-UK relations, but it has not reached the point where Britain is finished." In other words, through the aftermath, the United States will be able to try to compensate for the impact of the defeat on Britain, and even take the opportunity to control Britain and make the countries of continental Europe abandon the idea of co-opting Britain. There is no doubt that the Middle East is not the South Atlantic, the Golan Heights is not the Malvinas Islands, and Israel is not the United Kingdom. Although we have every reason to believe that the Syrian-Israeli conflict cannot lead to a full-scale war between the Arab countries and the Jews, after all, few Arab countries will support Syria. What's more, as long as Iran intervenes, I'm afraid even Egypt will not support Syria. In other words, the Syrian-Israeli conflict is likely to be a war between Syria and Israel over the Golan Heights, and will not pose an existential threat to the two countries. But on the side of the United States. The strategic value of the Golan Heights to Israel must be considered, and whether the loss of the Golan Heights would pose a serious threat to Israel's survival. Yuan mentioned this question at the beginning, and the answer is clear. Under these circumstances, the United States will not allow Israel to be defeated, and we must understand that the Arab countries are not Latin American countries, and therefore they cannot oppose the United States in the Syrian-Israeli conflict. In other words, if necessary, the United States will send troops to support Israel.

If so, does Syria still have a chance of winning? Or will we fight with the United States in the Middle East for Syria? ”

After speaking, Pei Chengyi regained his composure.

There is no doubt that as long as this issue is not resolved, or that the top of the republican does not make a decision on this issue, it is impossible to do much in the Middle East.

Wang Yuanqing did not rush to let Pei Chengyi express his opinion again, but cast an inquiring glance at Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu.

"It seems that we need to discuss this issue in depth." Wang Yuanqing glanced at his watch and said, "It's too late today, let's discuss it tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Yuan had the intention of sending off guests, everyone immediately got up and said goodbye.

Pei Chengyi knew that he didn't want to be busy these days.
