※ Lu Bu, Li Cunxun called Liu Xiaobin. 【Full text reading】Let him personally go and invite the mule double general.

If Li Cunxun can regard Lin Muhua and Kang Xiaoting as friends. Then Pei Chengyi can only be regarded as Li Cunxun's colleague, not even a comrade-in-arms.

Every time he thinks of Pei Chengyi, Li Cunxun has to sigh in his heart, it is indeed the times that make heroes.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi is the most amazing general in the history of the republic. As a soldier who has never been on the battlefield, it is very unbelievable that Pei Chengyi can become a general of the Republic Army when he is young. It's just that the results are nothing compared to his brilliant achievements. You know, when he was only a strong old man, when he was still a colonel. He commanded the republican ** team to win the war on the peninsula and taught the invincible US army a hard lesson. After the year of the thug, Pei Chengyi once again commanded the Republican ** team to win the largest regional war after World War II, and achieved a proud record that impressed the whole world. For any soldier, any one of these victories is enough to make him shine in the annals of history. Even in the history of the republic, no second general has achieved such brilliant achievements. In the eyes of many people, if Pei Chengyi has the opportunity to command the republican ** team to win the third large-scale regional war, the republic is likely to break the convention for him and make him the eleventh marshal in the history of the republic.

Whether Pei Chengyi has a chance to become a marshal, Li Cunxun doesn't care.

Standing in the position of director of the military intelligence bureau, Li Cunxun is most concerned about whether Pei Chengyi will take off his military uniform. In other words. Will Pei Chengyi be like some famous generals in Western countries, after making military achievements that have attracted worldwide attention, and then go to the political circles? You must know that in accordance with the direction of Wang Yuanqing's political reform, it is not impossible for military personnel to enter politics, but it is becoming more and more likely. With Pei Chengyi's military achievements and the public support he has received, as long as he is willing to take off his military uniform, he is likely to become a military leader of the Republic after the battle or the year of Li.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi must have such capital.

In terms of age, Pei Chengyi, who is only a good year, can not only wait for the old year and the blade year, but even after the blade year, he is only a year old. For politicians, as long as they are healthy enough, they are not considered to be old. You must know that Yuan, who opened the prelude to the reform of the republic, only came to power when he was in the age of the sword. Historically. There is also no shortage of blades for many years of national yuan.

In the Western world, such as in the United States, there is no shortage of powerful presidents. As far as health issues are concerned, Pei Chengyi, as a soldier, should not have too many problems. Not to mention anything else, Peng Maobang is already many years old, not only much healthier than Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong, but even healthier than many officials who are coming to the age.

In addition to age and physical capital, Pei Chengyi's political capital is not bad.

In terms of prestige, if you talk about influence alone, I'm afraid that except for Wang Yuanqing, no one can compare to Pei Chengyi. During the Korean Peninsula War, because of the influence of Zhao Rundong, Wang Yuanqing, Peng Maobang, Xiang Linghui and others, Pei Chengyi, who was silently dedicated to the front line, has not yet attracted widespread attention from the people. In the Indian War, Pei Chengyi stood at the forefront of the stage, and also let the people of the whole country know about this "young general." Many people also dug out the "old accounts" and hyped that it was Pei Chengyi who commanded the Republican ** team to annihilate the Bamboo U.S. Marine Division.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi is only a little short of his appeal, that is, he is married and has a family.

According to Li Cunxun's understanding, if Pei Chengyi is still a bachelor, not only will the country's teenagers regard him as an idol, but I am afraid that all unmarried girls will regard him as the prince charming of their dreams. No matter how ordinary Pei Chengyi's appearance is, under the influence of the general environment, an iron-blooded soldier like him must be the dream lover of a young girl.

Of course, in the eyes of the generation dominated by the old and posterior, whether or not they are married is not a question at all. The divorce rate in the republic has been rising year after year, and if there is marriage, there will be divorce, and getting married does not mean that you will be hanged on a tree for the rest of your life, let alone that other people will not have the opportunity to intervene.

In any case, Pei Chengyi definitely does not lack support from the people.

Relatively speaking, in Pei Chengyi's political capital, the most important thing is that he surpasses the political acumen that ordinary soldiers, or even soldiers, should have.

During the Korean War, Li Cunxun began to pay attention to Pei Chengyi.

Although his performance at that time was not very prominent, many of Pei Chengyi's command strategies coincided with the political ideas of the national leaders, especially Wang Yuanqing, such as speeding up the southward movement, storming Seoul, and quickly sweeping the southern part of the peninsula, all of which were completely consistent with Wang Yuanqing's proposition of "fighting to the end". Looking at it from another angle, Li Cunxun had to believe that Pei Chengyi, who was still a colonel officer at the time, would be able to figure out the meaning of the upper echelons and try his best to direct combat operations according to the ideas above. In other words, it was the combat operations commanded by Pei Chengyi that made Wang Yuanqing firm in the idea of "fighting to the end".

In fact, Pei Chengyi's political acumen can also be seen from another angle.

When Peng Maobang was chief of the General Staff, Pei Chengyi was not reused. In layman's terms, it's soy sauce all the time. It was not until Xiang Linghui served as the chief of the General Staff that Pei Chengyi was reused and became the "Five Tiger Generals" trained by Xiang Linghui. The other four number one generals are Ling Yunxiao, Li Dongshi, Lin Xiaolei and Hua Jianfeng. The completely different treatment has a lot to do with Peng Maobang and Xiang Linghui's concept of employing people. As a traditional military commander, Chang Maobang has always believed that military personnel should not have overly clear political opinions, so as to deliberately suppress some politically minded soldiers. Chose to worship and delete Huahui as his successor. It is a direct embodiment of Peng Maobang's public concept, because Dumb Yicai is indeed a soldier who lacks political acumen.

Although Xiang Linghui's thinking is also more traditional, he and Peng Maobang's ideas are not the same as Peng Maobang's on the question of whether military personnel should have political acumen. In Li Cunxun's view, Xiang Linghui never advocated the participation of military personnel in politics, but he did not oppose that military personnel should have political acumen, after all, war is the highest form of political struggle, and if you do not understand politics, you will not be able to fight and win wars. The so-called extreme must be opposed, Xiang Linghui lacks political acumen, so he naturally needs an assistant with talent in this area, so he gave Pei Chengyi the opportunity to perform, thus achieving Pei Chengyi.

The war in India not only showed Pei Chengyi's unparalleled military talent, but also showed his political talent.

In the war planning stage, after Pei Chengyi put forward the overall strategy of "first the east and then the west", Li Cunxun knew that Pei Chengyi was not fighting for the sake of war, but for the sake of politics. It was precisely because of Pei's intentions that Li Cunxun became one of the few decision-makers who supported the strategy. Later facts proved that Pei Chengyi was indeed catering to Yuan's appetite. To put it mildly, the war plan drawn up before the war was not for implementation, but for Yuan to make war decisions. The reason is very simple, after the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, the war plan was completely overthrown, and the next way of playing was Pei Chengyi's original intention.

This alone can show Bae Chengyi's political acumen.

In other words, if Xiang Linghui were to draw up a war plan, he would definitely adopt a strategy of "first west and then east", first capturing New Delhi, then sweeping the Ganges valley, and finally advancing south. Putting aside whether such a war can achieve the same effect for the time being, after all, the war has already ended, and there will be no second chance to test this strategy, judging from the atmosphere before the war alone, Wang Yuanqing will not agree to such a war plan, because it is very likely that the republic will fall into the quagmire of war in India and exhaust all its national strength in a war that cannot be won.

Of course, the most commendable thing is that Pei Chengyi can perfectly combine political needs with military needs.

In the early days of the war in India, almost everyone thought that Bae was taking a strategic adventure. Judging from the situation at that time, if the Republican team could not win quickly on the Eastern Front, it would definitely fall into the quagmire of war, and even if it could take New Delhi, it would not be able to achieve a final victory quickly. As long as the war drags on for a year and a half, the republic will be forced to admit that it has lost. Li Cunxun also has the same view, feeling that Pei Chengyi is gambling on the future of the republic. It wasn't until the republican ** team quickly swept the Ganges Plain, swung west to attack Zhampal, completed the strategic cutting in an incredible way, and shortened the war process from one and a half years to half a year, that Li Cunxun had to believe that Pei Chengyi did not take a strategic adventure at all, and the battle situation was always under his control, and finally won according to his ideas.

Looking back, you may feel that Pei Chengyi's performance on the Indian battlefield is nothing to praise, and it may even make people feel that the whole process is natural, and the result of who commands is not much different, after all, the military strength of the Republic is there, and India has no chance of winning. But judging from the situation at that time, who could command the entire war as handily as Pei Chengyi? Even if we take 10,000 steps back, who has the ability to see the course and outcome of the entire war? Li Cunxun lamented that he did not have such ability, because he also doubted Pei Chengyi's command strategy.

Sometimes, Li Cunxun even feels that Pei Chengyi's military talent is innate.

The point is, winning a battle is likely to be luck, but winning a war is definitely not luck.

The war in India, which was planned to take years and a half, took only a few months, the war expenditure was only the budget, the war casualties were only estimated to be 3 enough, and the war losses were only predicted. These are enough to prove that Pei Chengyi's military talent is incomparable, and I am afraid that in the next few decades, there will not be a second catty, "Pei Chengyi".

Of course, from a higher perspective, it is not easy to win one war, and it is even more difficult to win two wars.

Facts are enough to prove that Pei Chengyi is a general who is "both civil and military".

Li Cunxun admires Pei Chengyi's military talent very much, and he also admires Pei Chengyi's political acumen, but what he admires the most is Pei Chengyi's "low profile".

After the war in India, Pei Chengyi became the most competitive candidate for chief of the general staff.

After Xiang Linghui decided to unload his armor and return to the field, not only did Wang Yuanqing think that Pei Chengyi was the ideal candidate for the next chief of the General Staff, but even Zhang Zhongxian, who had been working hard for the chief of the General Staff, was willing to bow down and declare to the public early that if Pei Chengyi became the chief of the General Staff, he would absolutely willingly obey the dispatch.

At that time, Li Cunxun felt that there was a problem.

Bae Seung-yi's performance made Li Cunxun understand what the problem was. When Pei Chengyi refused Yuan's retention and decided to serve as the commander of the South Asian Theater, Li Cunxun understood. If Pei Chengyi succeeds Xiang Linghui as chief of the General Staff according to the expected idea, he will get into big trouble. The reason is very simple, if there is no Pei Chengyi, it is not Zhang Zhongxian who is most likely to be the chief of the General Staff, but Lin Xiaolei. Zhang Zhongxian took the initiative to withdraw from the competition, not because he didn't want to be the chief of the General Staff, but because he wanted to take this opportunity to let Pei Chengyi and Lin Xiaolei carry it. As long as Pei Chengyi and Lin Xiaolei have a dispute, Yuan will retreat to the next best thing and let Zhang Zhongxian become the chief of the General Staff. In other words, Pei Chengyi jumped out to compete for the position of chief of the general staff at this time, not only making a wedding dress for Zhang Zhongxian, but also offending tens of thousands of naval officers and soldiers. changed Li Cunxun's position in Pei Chengyi, and he would not take the initiative to carry the black pot, but

"Low-key" can also be seen as a kind of political wisdom, and it is the political wisdom of great wisdom and foolishness.

If Pei Chengyi just withdrew from the race for chief of the General Staff, there would be nothing to admire, as long as he was a little bit of a brain and understood the internal struggle of the republican ** team in his position, he would make the same decision. What makes Li Cunxun feel admired is that Pei Chengyi also did something that seemed to be lightweight, but in fact it was of great significance.

After withdrawing from the race for chief of the General Staff, Pei Chengyi applied to go to South Asia to serve as the theater command. Because the third military reform made it clear that the theater system replaced the military region system, and the first four theaters of war, the local theater, the Western Pacific theater, the Southeast Asian theater, and the South Asian theater were all in the process of being formed, and outstanding talents were needed, so Pei Chengyi's application for external transfer at this time was regarded by many people as the best choice to avoid suspicion.

The problem is that Wang Yuanqing didn't plan to let Pei Chengyi go, but sent Yuan Chenhao, who had just been promoted to major general, over.

All major theaters need qualified personnel, and they need even more qualified personnel to promote military reform.

According to Wang Yuanqing's intentions, Pei Chengyi stayed, and in the "Military Reform Committee" jointly established by the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense. Worked. There is no doubt that the most suitable position for Pei Chengyi is "Director of the Office of the Establishment of Combat Units." "Because Pei Chengyi was the director of the operations department when he served in the General Staff, he was the supreme commander of the front line in both wars, and he was very familiar with the establishment of the army and knew how to adjust the establishment. From a certain point of view, the "Director of the Office for the Establishment of Combat Units" has the highest status and the greatest influence in military reform, and this will be of great help to future promotions. Among other things, the newly established units are associated with the Office and need to be restructured in accordance with the proposals submitted by the Office. What people didn't expect was that Pei Chengyi did not accept the appointment, but went to the "Equipment Exhibition Office" that was regarded as the Qingshui Yamen

What is the future of the Pipe Equipment Exhibition?

According to the military system of the republic, even though the office has a great deal of say in the development and procurement of equipment, the final decision-making power is in the hands of the Ministry of National Defense, and the budget control is very tight, and there is no chance to make some oil and water. More importantly, this office is basically out of touch with the military, and even if the grass-roots units have equipment needs, they will not look for the office, but will directly go to the logistics and equipment department of the service and arms, or directly to the Ministry of National Defense.

In a very sensational view, Pei Chengyi is "taking refuge".

Although he has long declared that he will not become chief of the general staff, he is still the ideal candidate for chief of the general staff, with the widespread support of the army. Not to mention anything else, even Wang Yuanqing hopes that he can be appointed chief of the general staff. It can even be said that as long as Pei Chengyi nods, whether it is Xiang Linghui or Wang Yuanqing, he will be pushed to the position of the chief of the General Staff. In this way, the only way for Pei Chengyi to avoid vicious competition with Lin Xiaolei is to find a place to "take refuge". The South Asian Theater did not go to the theater of operations, and was forcibly left behind by Wang Yuanqing, and it was also a good choice to find a Qingshui Yamen in the rear.

The humble people think that Pei Chengyi wants to be captured.

A large number of naval officers believed that Pei Chengyi was "acting" and planned to bargain with the navy through management equipment, so that Lin Xiaolei had some concerns when he was competing for the chief of the general staff, and finally made concessions. In fact, there is indeed such a possibility, after all, the navy has the highest dependence on equipment, if Pei Chengyi has the power to decide on the development and procurement of equipment, let alone blackmail Lin Xiaolei, even Zhang Zhongxian will have to die. The problem is that Pei Chengyi is not an official of the Procurement Department of the Ministry of National Defense, and even if he can provide advice on equipment development and procurement, he does not have decision-making power. With the relationship between the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, the Ministry of Defense will certainly not take a general from the General Staff in its eyes.

There are not many people who really understand Pei Chengyi's intentions, "including Li Cunxun."

It was Pei Chengyi's decision that made Li Cunxun both admired and worried.

The reason is very simple, Pei Chengyi has already come up with the idea of retiring. With Pei Chengyi's experience, it is impossible not to know how serious the struggle within the army is. Not to mention anything else, Su Jinhui, who made great achievements in the Peninsula War back then, took a back seat because of the internal struggle in the army. If you talk about catties. Human ability, Su Jinhui doesn't know how many times stronger than Fu Weimin, who replaced him, according to common sense, even if he can't be promoted, he should stay in the concave army.

Although Li Cunxun does not understand Pei Chengyi's personal thoughts very well. But it can be seen from Pei Chengyi's every move that in the face of the internal struggle in the army, Pei Chengyi neither wants to participate nor wants to be used. That is, his only option was to leave the army.

If Pei Chengyi is a general like Xiang Linghui, it is not a big problem, and it is time to go home to retire.

The problem is that Pei Chengyi is only at the age of Feng and is in the golden age of his life. There are only three outcomes of military retirement: one is to integrate into society and live the rest of their lives in obscurity like the vast majority of retired soldiers; the second is to spend his spare heat in similar industries and find new goals like Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin; The third is to change careers in an all-round way, and make earth-shattering achievements in the new industry.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi will not take the first two roads, but will only take the last road.

With his talent, as long as he is willing to work, he will definitely be able to do great things. Li Cunxun's first thought was Pei Chengyi's political wisdom, that is, as long as Pei Chengyi is willing to enter politics, the future is equally bright.

If Bae Seung-yi enters politics, how much impact will it have on the future of the republic?
