The storm comes and goes fast. Soon after Wang Yuanqing returned to the Yuan Mansion, Peng Maobang and Xiang Linghui rushed over. Xiang Linghui left Lu Chengwen at the garrison headquarters. Let Pei Chengyi be in charge of the work of the General Staff. After Liu Xiaobin returned to the Military Bureau, Pan Yunsheng hurried over.

At dinner, the old and new generations of leaders sat together.

Although the chef specially prepared a few side dishes that Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong liked to eat, everyone didn't have much appetite.

"Let's have a drink, it's rare for everyone to be together."

After Peng Maobang proposed, Jiao Piaoshan did not ask Wang Yuanqing and brought two bottles of aged Moutai.

"You have fun, I don't need to." Ji Youguo smiled and poured tea into his cup. "More than ten years have passed like this, and it seems that everyone is old and mature. Nothing has changed. ”

"Ji Lao, you are not old, you look younger than ten years ago." Li Cunxun muttered.

"Your kid has changed a lot, he has learned to make sycophants." Pan Yunsheng looked at Li Cunxun and said, "Lao Ji is right, it really hasn't changed much, but the country has changed a lot. Back then, Xiao Wang did something we didn't dare to dream of, and he did it better than any of us. ”

Although Pan Yunsheng was talking about the "Japanese War", it had another meaning at this time.

"Xiao Li, how many people have been arrested in total?" Wang Yuanqing picked up a cigarette and lit one for himself.

"One hundred and twenty-eight suspects were arrested on the side of the congress, thirty-seven suspects were arrested by the garrison, and three hundred and seventy-four suspects were arrested by the special forces of the General Staff, excluding some accomplices. There were about 200 main offenders. Li Cunxun also took out a cigarette, "The people on the list have all been arrested, and several suspects who are not on the list have also been identified." The personnel were temporarily held in the garrison camp and interrogation began this evening. Liu Xiaobin and Lu Chengwen are in charge. ”

"No interrogation for now." Wang Yuanqing glanced at everyone and turned his gaze to Gu Weimin. said, "Old Gu, contact the Judicial Committee of the Plenary Congress tomorrow, if there is a proposal from the delegates; The size of the judicial committee could be expanded, and then a joint investigative committee could be formed with the Supreme Prosecutor's Office and the Supreme Court to go through the judicial process. ”

"Is this necessary?"

"Definitely."

Hearing Ji Youguo speak, Gu Weimin immediately turned his gaze.

"Everyone understands the reason why Xiao Wang is doing this." Ji Weiguo knocked on the table, "If we are interrogated in private, what is the difference between us and those traitors?" Not only must the judicial process be followed, but the interrogation must be conducted in the manner prescribed by law. More importantly, a lawyer must be assigned to each person, or a lawyer must be hired by the suspect. ”

But Gu Weimin hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhao Runyi.

"How can public opinion be controlled by doing this?" Zhao Rundong glanced at Ji Youguo and said, "If we go through the formal judicial process, we have to announce the relevant news, so that the whole world will know that an attempted rebellion has just been born in our country." For the state. This is not necessarily a good thing, especially at this time. ”

Wang Yuanqing's brows jumped a few times, knowing that Zhao Rundong was talking about the ongoing war.

"Lao Zhao is right, the war is not over yet. The consequences of the announcement are unimaginable. "Pan Yunsheng did not stand on Ji Jieguo's side, but supported Zhao Rundong." Although Xiao Wang's intention is not to really start a war with India, but only to induce the traitorous group to rebel through war, so as to quell the rebellion, but after the news is announced, India will definitely adjust its strategy, and may even take the opportunity to expand the scale of the war. Don't forget, except for India. There is another element of instability.

If Pakistan thinks we need assistance and goes to war with India, it is hard to conceive. ”

"Xiao Pan's analysis makes a lot of sense." "The war situation is very delicate. According to information obtained by the General Staff, the Indian Air Force and Navy did not participate in the war, indicating that India is likely to give in to us, and even acquiesce in our military operation to recover southern Tibet. If this trend continues, we will be victorious in a few days. Even if the news is to be announced, it should wait until after the war is over. ”

After the speeches of the three leaders of the older generation. Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"That's true, and we have to be careful." Wang Yuanqing extinguished the cigarette butt and said, "Announcing the news now is likely to lead to further deterioration of the situation." The key problem is that we can't keep blocking messages. It is impossible to keep such large-scale arrests secret. From the perspective of safeguarding national interests, we must make public information as soon as possible so that we can seize the initiative and actively respond to challenges in all aspects. If we remain silent, not to mention India, the United States will immediately turn against us. For such a big matter, if the United States were to announce the news, it would be difficult to control the emotions of the people at home. ”

"Even if you want to make a public announcement, you should have to take it with a grain of salt." Zhao Rundong let out a long breath and said. "The rebellion is not trivial, although the rebellion has been suppressed, but we can only control the center now. If the news spreads, there is a high chance that it will cause unnecessary trouble in the place.

"It seems that everyone is quite divided." Ji Jieguo glanced at everyone and said, "The key is not whether to announce the news, but how to stabilize the domestic situation." The republic is not a small country, and if the turmoil increases, no one can end it. A rebellion born in the republic was not an ordinary rebellion. Even if hundreds of suspects are arrested, there is no guarantee that nothing will slip through the cracks. What's more, this is a well-planned rebellion, not to mention the many participants, it must have something to do with all interest groups, and it is very difficult to deal with it. I have three suggestions. First, it is necessary to immediately raise the level of military readiness in the name of war, so that it can stabilize the army, second, it can deter India, and third, it can disrupt the sight of hostile countries and make it impossible for the United States to take correct action. The second is to speed up the military operation to recover southern Tibet, strive to end the fighting within a few days, and force India to abandon the idea of a large-scale war; The third is to immediately announce the news to the outside world, not to announce the news comprehensively, but to announce the news with reservations. Create public opinion assumptions, so that those with other plans cannot grasp the key points. ”

After hearing Ji Shuguo's words, everyone else nodded.

"The first two points are not difficult, and the third point is the third point," Wang Yuanqing picked up another cigarette. said, "What news should be announced, and what news should not be announced?" ”

"The news of Yuan's assassination will definitely be announced."

Peng Maobang's words were recognized by everyone.

"In order to stabilize the situation, it is best to announce Yuan's health status and stabilize the people's hearts."

Lee's proposal was also accepted.

"The key is the reason for Yuan's assassination." Pan Yunsheng hesitated for a moment and said, "If it is announced that it is caused by the rebellion, it will definitely go against the original intention of stabilizing the situation." ”

"That's a terrorist attack.

Everyone looked at Peng Maobang, who smiled and stopped talking nonsense.

"Terrorist attacks are certainly not normal, if they are terrorist attacks, the subsequent mass arrests cannot be explainedPan Yunsheng glanced at Peng Maobang and said, "It is unlikely that an enemy country will attack, whether it is aimed at the United States or India." all have the potential to worsen the situation. Other explanations are not very convincing, after all, Yuan's security is very tight, and under normal circumstances, no one can easily assassinate Yuan. And so it goes. It can only be admitted that it was caused by the rebellion. I think. It is better not to immediately announce the reasons for Yuan's assassination, citing the fact that an investigation is ongoing. When our army has completed its combat operations in southern Tibet, it will not be too late to announce the news. ”

"Will this lead to social unrest?" Li Cunxun frowned.

"As long as Yuan is alive and well. It's not a big problem. Zhao Rundong answered this question, "The key now is whether Xiao Wang can still perform the duties of Yuan, as long as Xiao Wang is fine, there will be no big problems with stability." Of course. Surveillance of other officials will also need to be strengthened. There must be no accidents. ”

"If Xiao Wang is okay, the charge of rebellion cannot be established

Everyone looked at Ji Jieguo.

"I think it's more reasonable to let Chairman Gu Weimin preside over the overall situation for the time being, just say that Yuan was assassinated and wounded, and don't release too much news. In this way, we will not only be able to stabilize the overall situation, but will also be able to find out the fish that have slipped through the line of the chairman. After solving the problem of southern Tibet, let the thug King Bu come forward to close the net. ”

After Ji Youguo finished speaking, he looked at Wang Yuanqing.

This is also the best solution at present, Wang Yuanqing nodded and said to Gu Weimin. Lao Gu, the next trouble is up to you. ”

Gu Weiyi sighed and said, "That's fine, only by completely eradicating the traitorous group can the rebellion be put an end to." ”

"In this case, we will stay in the capital for a few more days, Peng Maobang smiled and said." It's rare to come back once, and the changes are completely beyond our imagination. I heard that there was an international exhibition recently, and we old guys have been away for less than a few days, so we have to hurry up and enjoy our old age

"Old Peng, when did you know that you enjoyed it?" Zhao Rundong immediately shook his head with a smile.

"Lao Zhao, you can't say that, Mr. Peng has maintained himself better than us in the past few years, and I heard that he gets up every morning to do Taijiquan, rain or shine!"

"Xiao Pan, you're an intelligence guy. When I retired, I didn't forget to investigate other people's **. ”

"It's okay, let's stay for a few more days Ji Fangguo pulled the topic back, "Thug Bu Li, you can arrange it, don't do any special treatment, just live in the Cathay Hotel." If you can. Help us arrange a few cars, and take the time to learn about the new changes in the past few days. ”

Li Cunxun immediately nodded and agreed.

Listening to the conversation of several leaders of the older generation, Wang Yuanqing quietly looked at Gu Weimin. Peng Maobang did not want to stay to see any international exhibitions, but to stay and supervise Gu Weimin. Because according to the system of the republic, when Wang Yuanqing is unable to perform the duties of the state minister, Gu Weimin is the supreme leader of the country. Obviously, Peng Maobang doesn't want to have an accident in the few days when Wang Yuanqing is "recuperating from his injury", and he doesn't want Gu Weimin to monopolize power!
