Recognizing Pei Chengyi, Li Cunxun whispered to Liu Xiaobin to open the room and Liu Xiaobin closed the door. [Full text reading]

"Just got back from Japan, right?" Li Cunxun looked very casual, and after scattering a cigarette for Pei Chengyi. picked up the folder on the table and handed it to Pei Chengyi's hand. "You should know all these people, at least have heard of them. Know something that is at stake with them. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and flipped through the documents.

After just one glance, Pei Chengyi showed a look of surprise. It was the file of several generals and senior officers, although he did not read the details, but Pei Chengyi immediately appeared, these generals and senior officers have one thing in common, that is, they have not been able to benefit from the two military reforms, some have been demoted, some have been sent to remote areas, and some have been temporarily idle, which can be regarded as victims of the struggle of interests within the army.

"Is there something wrong with them?"

"No, there are no problems, at least not yet." Li Cunxun lit a cigarette, took two puffs slowly, and said, "Mr. Xiang should have told you about the joint military exercise." What I mean is that you are solely responsible for the personnel arrangements for the military exercise, and let General Suo Xianglong lead the team and arrange some of the personnel designated by the Military Intelligence Agency. Of course, you don't have to participate in military exercises. ”

"The people up there?"

Li Cunxun nodded. "I'll tell you the details when it's finalized. If you have any ideas, you can also put them forward, and we will discuss them. ”

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly, knowing that Li Cunxun was saying kind words.

As the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun had no reason to discuss with the chief of the operations department of the General Staff.

After thinking about it, Pei Chengyi asked, "Is this the meaning of the Military Intelligence Bureau, or the meaning of Yuan?" ”

Li Cunxun smiled and said, "This is very important? ”

Pei Chengyi also smiled and didn't say much. The General Staff is accountable to Yuanbei and not to the Military Intelligence Agency. Strictly speaking, the MIA is also accountable to the General Staff.

In terms of management positions, Li Cunxun and Pei Chengyi are of the same status, and they are both responsible persons of organs under the General Staff, and Pei Chengyi has no reason to obey Li Cunxun's orders. Of course, the reality is completely different. Li Cunxun is Yuan's main staff, and even Xiang Linghui has to give him face, let alone Pei Chengyi.

"Let's put it this way, this matter is the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Agency, and Yuan did not give any orders." Li Cunxun took two puffs of his cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt, and said, "I won't say much about the confidentiality regulations, I can't reveal anything relevant to you until I get Yuan's permission." ”

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Understood, since this is the case, I will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

"Also, I will send a few special personnel to participate in the joint military exercise, so you have to reserve a few places."

"Special personnel?"

Li Cunxun nodded and didn't say much.

Pei Chengyi didn't ask much, Li Cunxun must have sent a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and it may even be a senior spy sent overseas before.

"Any questions?"

"No, when will I get the list?"

"Soon." Li Cunxun paused slightly and said, "After having the exact news." I'll call you. If nothing else, we'll talk about it here. Remember, only you, me, and Mr. Xiang know about this matter. I don't want a fourth person to know. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Cunxun looked at Pei Chengyi and got up to leave.

Letting Pei Chengyi participate is not what Li Cunxun meant, but what Xiang Linghui meant. Joint military exercises were originally a matter of operational sanctions. It is impossible for Xiang Linghui to personally arrange the specific matters of the joint military exercise. What's more, Xiang Linghui absolutely trusts Pei Chengyi.

Leaving the General Staff, Li Cunxun went to Yuanfu.

Is Pei Chengyi reliable or not? Since there is Xiang Linghui as a guarantor, Li Cunxun didn't think much about it. If even Xiang Linghui can't be relied on, no matter how much effort the Military Intelligence Bureau makes, it will be meaningless. In other words, Li Cunxun has no choice, and can only trust Pei Chengyi absolutely.

When he came to Yuanfu, Li Cunxun went to the study of Xipuyuan under the leadership of Jiao Panshan.

"Remember, don't bother us. Also, ask the security office to turn off the surveillance system in the study. ”

Jiao Jishan nodded, turned around and left the study.

"Sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"You're welcome."

Wang Yuanqing was not polite and made a cup of green tea for Li Cunxun. Wang Yuanqing did not have stomach problems. You don't have to drink mainly black tea like Ji Youguo. In addition to occasionally drinking some coffee, Wang Yuanqing often drinks green tea and flower tea.

"Smoke my cigarettes, the latest product." Seeing Li Cunxun take out a cigarette, Wang Yuanqing took the cigarette on the desk and said, "The cigarette produced by the Beijing cigarette factory is said to contain nicotine and can relieve addiction." ”

"Nicotine-free?"

"The introduction said so, and it will be officially put on the market tomorrow After Jiao heard about it, he specially made two of them." Wang Yuanqing smiled. lit one for Li Cunxun, "I heard it's very popular." Not only the results of the preliminary market research are good. There are also many people who order specifically. ”

After taking two puffs, Li Cunxun nodded and said, "The taste is a little weird, and it's a little lighter." "Hit the hundred days of the stream, the mouth is annoying, Lu, the song stops a little, "It's good to be in Shanghai." ”

At this time, the green light of the desk intercom turned red, indicating that the surveillance system in the room had been turned off.

"Things are arranged over there at the General Staff."

"Just arrange it." Wang Yuanqing didn't dwell on it anymore, "How complicated is the situation?" ”

"It's impossible to say now, except for Suo Xianglong. Others can't be sure yet. Li Cunxun sighed and said, "There is not enough time, and the clues that the Military Intelligence Agency has are very limited." If we take the initiative to arrange it, it is difficult to do it all. I think it's better to think of something else. ”

"Are you sure there is something wrong with Suo Xianglong?"

"The evidence is still being sorted out, I've seen it. There must be a problem, it's just that how serious it is, it's not clear now.

Li Cunxun took two puffs of cigarette and threw most of the remaining half of the cigarette into the ashtray. "Suo Xianglong has not been able to benefit from the two military reforms, if it weren't for his qualifications and deep connections in the army, I'm afraid he would have retired long ago. The problem is not so simple, Suo Xianglong was born in a military family, not only his grandfather was the founding general. His father produced three generals, and his uncle also served as the commander of the garrison. If you look it up. I'm afraid it will involve a lot of people. ”

"It has to be investigated." Wang Yuanqing's answer was categorical, and there was no room for anything.

Li Cunxun took out the cigarettes in his bag, he was still used to the taste of ordinary cigarettes.

"I'll talk to Xiang Linghui and see if he has a way."

"If Mr. Xiang is allowed to come forward, the problem will be complicated."

Wang Yuanqing frowned and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Li Cunxun meant.

"It's better to change the way." Li Cunxun observed Wang Yuanqing's expression and said, "If something really big happens, the army will definitely take the brunt." Without the support of the army, no one can stir up a big storm. But the army is alone, and Suo Xianglong must have been implicated with government officials. Since it cannot be found in the army, it can only be found in the government. ”

"I have also considered this issue, and if I really want to investigate it in the government, I am afraid that it will be more widely involved."

Li Cunxun sighed secretly. This is not the first time he has made such a suggestion.

"You're right, there must be people within the government who support Suo Xianglong, and it's likely to be a high-ranking official." Wang Yuanqing extinguished the burned cigarette butt and said, "Now the only things I can think of are the Politburo and the State Council, relatively speaking, the Politburo is more likely, after all, the influence of the State Council is very limited." If anything unexpected happens to me, it will be the Politburo who will take over. According to what you said, if the government investigates, it will definitely bring the radish out of the mud, and the situation will be completely out of control, which will have a serious impact on the current domestic reform. Isn't that what some people are hoping to achieve? ”

"Meta

"You can't act rashly if you're not sure. You can't startle the snake. Wang Yuanqing closed his eyes, sighed, and said, "I have been thinking about this matter repeatedly in the past few days, and it will definitely not work if I don't investigate, and I am stunned to investigate it to the end." However, blindly expanding the scope of the investigation can only have the opposite effect. It really can't be done, and we can only respond to all changes with the same. ”

Li Cunxun was secretly startled and said, "Yuan, this is too risky, we"

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Wang Yuanqing glanced at Li Cunxun and said. "All the contradictions point to me, if I can't control the situation before the situation expands, there will definitely be a bloody storm. When the time comes, the situation will not be in our favor. Besides, there is the support of the Military Intelligence Agency. My safety is definitely guaranteed. ”

"It's not a security issue, I think," Li Cunxun hesitated for a moment and said, "If you really want to get to this point, the price will be too great." If the situation gets out of control, I am afraid that the impact on the country will be even greater than if we are now expanding the scope of the investigation. In all respects, we don't have to

"The question is, can you come up with enough evidence?"

"This

"What is the purpose of our reforms? It's not for the sake of building a pound yet. A republic of democracy and the rule of law. Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. "If we convict people without evidence, what's the point of our changes? It's not a hundred years ago. It is not an era when those in power can purge whoever they want. This reform is to fundamentally restrain the power of those in power, if we can't do it ourselves, how can we let others do it? If we arrest and convict people without evidence, I am afraid that we will fall into the hands of some people. ”

Li Cunxun sighed and didn't say anything more.

After a few years, Li Cunxun has realized. Wang Yuanqing is a very assertive person, as long as he makes up his mind, no one can change his concept, let alone influence him. Wang Yuanqing was originally a leader with an extremely clear purpose, and he would do whatever it took to achieve his goal. Many times Li Cunxun has to admit that Wang Yuanqing is a leader that no one can understand.

After talking for a while, Li Cunxun got up and said goodbye.

The cold wind in the early morning calmed Li Cunxun. The pace of history has entered the fourth year of the century, and in the festive atmosphere of the New Year, a turbulent undercurrent is slowly surging.
