Chapter 9 Advance by retreating

When he was younger, Li Cunxun suddenly felt a lot more relieved, because it was like that. "A gentleman told Li Cunxun that a real soldier will not be easily defeated.

"Director Li. Are you looking for something with me? "Face Li Cunxun. Pei Chengyi is still very polite.

According to the regulations, the director of the military intelligence bureau can only be promoted to lieutenant general of the army at most, that is to say, after Pei Chengyi is promoted to army general, he is Li Cunxun's "superior". It's just that no soldier dares to underestimate the director of military intelligence. Even Xiang Linghui had to concede three points to Li Cunxun.

How's it going on your side, thug? ”

"What else?" Pei Chengyi took out a cigarette.

I saw the other party hand over the cigarette. Li Cunxun immediately shook his hand and said, "You can do it yourself." I quit

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment. I lit one for myself. "Everyone says that the equipment office is the Qingshui Yamen, but I don't think that's the case at all, and there is an endless stream of people coming to the door every day. Of course, 99 percent of them are here to find trouble, and who told us to bear the blame for the Ministry of Defense. ”

The thug troubled Pei Chengyi sighed with a smile. said, "You know, too. Cutting down so many equipment development plans at once, not to mention the ghosts of various branches of the armed forces, the major arms dealers are also jumping in a hurry. If you hadn't called me over, I'd have had to deal with the lobbyists of the arms dealers tonight. ”

"It's better to have something to do than to be idle." Li Cunxun paused. The re-port said, "The net received the message. The Argentine arms purchase group is coming. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and said, "Plan to buy arms from us?" ”

Li Cunxun nodded. said: "Do you know the situation on the other side of the South Atlantic?.

"Watched some news. But not very well understood

"The wind is surging!" Li Cunxun sighed and said, "If it weren't for the Antarctic, I'm afraid it would have boiled long ago." By the way, have you ever been to Argentina? ”

Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said: "After getting married, I wanted to go on vacation over there, but I never had the opportunity." ”

"It's a good idea to go on vacation to Argentina, especially in October and November, but don't go past March and April." Li Cunxun chatted casually and said, "According to our estimates, the peace event will not last long, whether the rumors are true or not, Argentina is ready to take action." ”

"Now?.

"A few months later. Next year at the latest. ”

"Is it too late to procure weapons now? Hatchet man.

"It's not too late to say it. After all, the main equipment of the Argentine army came from our country, and it was used for twenty years. ”

thugs" that is. Need to sell a batch of sophisticated weapons to Argentina? ”

Li Cunxun nodded slightly and said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but according to Yuan's meaning." As long as it is not weapons and equipment that are restricted from export, we will sell whatever Argentina wants. Of course. The premise is that Argentina must buy it in cash

"That's fine. Subsidize the point of household. ”

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Do you think Argentina will buy our second-hand equipment?" ”

"Why not?" Pei Chengyi asked rhetorically.

Seeing that Pei Chengyi was very sure, Li Cunxun put on a deaf look.

"Twenty years ago, why did Argentina purchase weapons and equipment from our country, and why did it make our country a major arms importer? Pei Chengyi paused slightly. Said. "The reason is simple, we had just won the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War. Subsequently, China won the war in the East China Sea, and proved with actual combat that China's weapons and equipment are not only more advanced than those of Russia, but also no less than those of the United States. Of course. This is analyzed from a purely military point of view. Under the influence of Britain, the United States and Europe have long banned the sale of advanced weapons and equipment to Rangenting. And Russian weapons and equipment are not with the appetite of Argentina, so for decades. The Argentine army was so poorly equipped that it could not even match Chile to the west and Peru to the north, let alone Brazil. Other words. Politically, Argentina has no other choice. If our country's weapons and equipment cannot satisfy the Argentine army, it will be the first time it will be done, and it will not be able to make the second time. Over the past 20 years, we have sold hundreds of billions of yuan of weapons and equipment to Argentina on several occasions. It is enough to prove that the Argentine army is very satisfied with the armament of our country. Argentina sent arms purchase groups at this time, in my opinion. The fundamental reason is that we won the war in India, and in the war we defeated the Indian army built with the aid of the United States, so that Argentina believes that the thugs have much more advanced weapons and equipment than the United States.

It has only been more than a year since the end of the war in India, and Argentina has no reason to purchase those advanced weapons that even we are not equipped with, mainly by purchasing troops that our army has already equipped. And weapons and equipment that were massively used in the war in India. If Director Li is not wrong to start, Argentina will have to consider buying second-hand equipment first. Instead of waiting in line for years. ”

Listen to Pei Chengyi. Li Cunxun smiled and said, "After the military reform, are you interested in working in the Military Intelligence Bureau?" ”

"MIA?" Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment and said, "Director Li, you are making fun of me, I am going to the Military Intelligence Bureau." What are you doing with Director Liu? ”

The thug can't tolerate you, the great Bodhisattva

"Director Li, I'm just making a joke. I don't tell you the thugs, "yes?". Li Cunxun shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't talk about this. With you, "The analysis at the beginning of the worry is very reasonable, if Agen is making makeup for the war, he will have to consider buying second-hand equipment of our army, and it is best to buy eighty percent of the new second-hand equipment. Of course, what kind of equipment to sell to Argentina still needs to be carefully considered, after all, it is necessary to directly buy second-hand equipment from our army. The intent is too obvious. I'm looking for you today. There is another very important thing to discuss with you

"What's the matter?"

"You started talking about getting ready to go on vacation to Argentina. It didn't work out. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "You mean?"

"Yuan had a private meeting with the Argentine president in London, and Theron wanted us to send military personnel to help Argentina complete its military modernization. Bubble tough Bashan Bin smacked the factory to tell less negative new reading, small surprise and more negative

Pei Chengyi's brows tightened even tighter, because he heard another layer of Li Cunxun's words.

"Called the Military Modernization Construction, in fact, acts as a military adviser. Of course. It is also a very important thing to help Argentina establish a sound defense system and military system. You know that, too. Argentina is an important ally of ours, and it is not under Pakistan. According to Yuan's meaning, we should send a general with experience in foreign stationing, energetic, famous, and able to convince the public. Come to think of it, I can't think of a better candidate. ”

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Argentina is not Pakistan. ”

"Of course. Argentina is certainly not Pakistan, at least there is no need to worry about not being able to eat back to the pot.

"Director Li, is this Yuan Ji's arrangement?" Pei Chengyi smiled a little bitterly.

Li Cunxun nodded. said: "Yuan personally ordered it, otherwise I wouldn't have looked for you."

"When will it come out?"

"After the return of the Argentine military purchase group, about the end of next month. ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "That's the case." I've got to get my work done here. ”

The thug's position here is still reserved for you, and of course, you have to find someone to do your job. If I'm not mistaken. Dongfang Wen should work under you, right?

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "His ability is good. Should be able to take on big responsibilities. ”

Li Cunxun immediately laughed and said, "You talk to him about it." Although he is doing things for you, but if he does a good job, the country will not forget his credit

"I know that." Pei Chengyi hesitated. said, "Able to bring family members

"Of course. Your wife is a diplomat, right? Li Cunxun didn't let Pei Chengyi worry about it, "I personally arranged this matter, and the personnel relationship is hanging in the embassy in Afghanistan, and your daughter can also go over." The conditions of the embassy primary school are very good, and you can learn three languages. I will personally arrange the safety work of you and your family, and let Liu Xiaobin be in charge. What else are the requirements?

Pei Chengyi pondered for a while and said, "You need an accompanying interpreter, preferably a man."

Hitter "want sex? ”

"You know, too. I have a family and I'm away for a long time because of my work. So the thugs "understood." I'll arrange it for you. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that there were no other requirements.

"One last thing. You also have to participate in the Argentine arms purchase negotiations"

Thug "This"

"You're still the head of the equipment office, and it's your business to take care of the equipment." Li Cunxun smiled. said, "You also said at the beginning, it's better to subsidize some households." In fact, you know better than me that due to the impact of disarmament, many of our army's equipment development plans have been cut in half, and the impact on the army has been very great. Although it is unlikely that Argentina will purchase weapons that our army has not yet equipped, nor will it be possible to jointly develop weapons and equipment with our army, we must do our utmost because after all, selling equipment is not selling cabbage. If you can catch a little more, you can catch a little more, right?

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Director Li, I heard that you have worked in Zhongzhong Group before. ”

"yes. After working for a while, Jian Yao was responsible for confidentiality. ”

"I think. You should stay in the Zhongzhong Group. ”

"Why?"

"That's what I have to do. The scale of Zhongzhong Group can be expanded tenfold. ”

Li Cunxun immediately laughed and said, "It seems that you know me better." I also want to stay in Zhongzhong Group, not to mention anything else, a salary of several million per year, holidays as usual, and half a month of annual leave. You don't have to do anything, what a comfortable life. ”

thugs" indeed. It's satisfying to think about. ”

"Really? If you are intentional, I will help you contact Lin Muhua, and after you retire, you will be the current senior consultant of Zhongzhong Group, and I will guarantee that I will not lose you

Sister Thug is still in the Zhongzhong Group, it's a problem. Don't talk about that, there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first

"That's right. Forgot to tell you one thing. Li Cunxun stood up. The Zhongzhong Group should also participate in arms procurement negotiations. When you meet Lin Muhua, you can talk to her about your thoughts. With your status, let alone taking millions of commissions, and not giving you 50 million per year, you don't have to take the test at all

Pei Chengyi smiled. Without saying anything more, he took his leave and turned to leave.

Looking at Pei Chengyi's back, Li Cunxun basically confirmed his guess. At least in the next few years, Bae Chengyi will not consider retiring. Maybe Pei Chengyi still wants to make a career in the army, but the time is not yet ripe, so he chose to wait. The question is, how long can Pei Chengyi wait?

Leave the MIA. Pei Chengyi's mood is also complicated.

Unlike the outside world's perception of him, Pei Chengyi has always been a relatively pure soldier. with all his generation. That is, the so-called queen is the same, Ke Shiyi cares a lot about his peers, Pei Chengyi's biggest hey... can take care of the interests of the country while focusing on personal gains and losses. this character. makes Pei Chengyi give people a very contradictory feeling many times. In fact, even Pei Chengyi himself feels that on many issues. His thoughts are very contradictory.

After the Indian War, when the promotion to general was a foregone conclusion, Pei Chengyi spoke highly of Yuan Chenhao's role in the war summary, so that Yuan Chenhao jumped two levels and was promoted from colonel to major general. In the eyes of many. Yuan Chenhao's ability to be promoted by leapfrogging is entirely due to Pei Chengyi's contributions. When doing this. Pei Chengyi didn't think about it that much at all, he just felt that it was what Yuan Chenhao deserved, after all, when he was commanding the operation, Yuan Chenhao took on most of the work. Many times even Pei Chengyi has nothing to do. Of course, it was not only Yuan Chenhao who benefited, Dongfang Wen was also promoted to colonel, almost all the staff officers of the front-line command were promoted and commended, and more than half of the officers and men of the front-line combat units were promoted, commended, and commended. Although most of the officers and soldiers deserved what they deserved, within the army, rumors about Pei Chengyi's promotion of his subordinates were all the rage. Such rumors have both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the officers and soldiers at the grassroots level are willing to work under Pei Chengyi. The bad thing is that some people think that Pei Chengyi is forming a gang in the army.

Whether it's good or bad. are all what Pei Chengyi does not want to see.

This incident directly led to Pei Chengyi's decision to withdraw from the ranks of the competition for chief of the General Staff. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Yuan didn't send him to the South Asian theater of operations, but let him stay.

At that time, Bae Chengshu's first thought was to retire.

For the republicans, after being promoted to general, it can be said that they have achieved fame, unless there is a full-scale war, and it is a full-scale war that lasts for several years, there is no chance to become a general and a marshal. For Pei Chengyi, when he was promoted, it was when he reached the peak of his military career. Besides, the above will retire the identity, even if you don't do anything, you can live a carefree life.

It's just that Pei Chengyi knows it very well. Now is not the time to retire.

For some, a general who retired at a young age, and a politically minded general, is definitely a formidable threat.

More importantly, Pei Chengyi is unwilling.

Compared with the knife years ago, Pei Chengyi is no longer so simple. Although the mission and duty of a soldier have become his lifelong goal, standing in a higher position, Pei Chengyi knows that fulfilling the mission and duty of a soldier is not a process, but to achieve the goal of making the country strong, the nation strong, and the people rich. To achieve this, it is not necessary to serve in the army or to kill enemies on the battlefield. There are many ways and means. The more he came into contact with the top level of the central government, the more Pei Chengyi became convinced that none of the 10,000 most powerful generals could lead the country on the right track. A lot of the time. He even believes that if there are no outstanding politicians like Wang Yuanqing, even if there are 10,000 Pei Chengyi, it will not be possible to bring prosperity and strength to the country. Similarly, the more he understands the country's exhibition direction, the more clear Pei Chengyi is about the challenges ahead. Although the Republic will no longer worry about national security in the coming decades, in the foreseeable future, perhaps 30 or 40 years from now, the Republic will once again need a leader like Ji Youguo and Wang Yuanqing, "a leader who can lead the Republic to meet serious challenges and achieve victory."

Understanding this truth, Mu Chengyi saw the direction of struggle clearly.

It's just that Pei Chengyi knows very well in his heart that it's still too early.

For a general who is only a good year old, it is too early to say this.

When talking to Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi felt that the director of the military intelligence bureau was deliberately testing him, as if he wanted to know the rules of his life."

Pei Chengyi didn't want to say it. It's not that Li Cunxun can't be trusted.

In his eyes, Li Cunxun can be regarded as the most objective, responsible, and trustworthy of the influential and important figures in the republic, but Pei Chengyi knows better that Li Cunxun is also a person with an extremely clear sense of purpose. It is the kind of person who will stop at all in order to achieve the end. In other words, if Lee thinks that someone can bring benefits to the republic. He will go out of his way to provide support, on the contrary. will do everything in their power to nip it in the bud.

In the face of Li Cunxun's power and power. And a very discerning person, Pei Chengyi has to be extremely careful.

It is precisely because of this that when Li Cunxun mentioned that he should go to Argentina, he agreed without thinking about it. Although under Wang Yuanqing's control, the republic will not go astray, Wang Yuanqing will certainly not interfere in the internal struggle of the army, at least not clearly which side he is on, and will only use the internal struggle of the army. In other words, whether it is Pei Chengyi, Lin Xiaolei, or Zhang Zhongxian, who has a ghost in his heart, they are all chess pieces in Wang Yuanqing's hands. If you stay, you will not face the internal struggle of the army, and Pei Chengyi will never want to be involved. The only option was to leave, find a place to take shelter, and wait until the storm subsided. Come back and find a foothold.

As a soldier, Pei Chengyi knows very well that sometimes, advance is retreat, retreat and enter.

Perhaps, a vacation to Argentina is a good choice.

Thinking of this, Pei Chengyi felt a little relieved that Argentina is a resort, and he also has the opportunity to fulfill the promise he made to his wife a long time ago and take the whole family out to play with peace of mind.
