Chapter XXVI Democratic Republic Day
β»After Fang Wen branched, Pei Chengyi took the tea and begged for it
"Mr. Pei, how are you doing here?"
"What else?" Pei Chengyi glanced at Liu Xiaobin, who was in a suit and leather shoes, and nodded to Kang Xiaoting, who was sitting on the sand opposite, before sitting down and saying, "It's only been a few days since I came, and I haven't adapted to the climate here." Overall, it's quite satisfying, I haven't encountered anything annoying, and it's much easier. β
"It seems that our worries are unfounded." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Do you know Mr. Kang?" β
"Long admiration!" Pei Chengyi nodded at Kang Xiaoting again.
"Mr. Pei is polite, in terms of military rank, I am your subordinate." Kang Xiaoting was also polite.
"You are all polite Liu Xiaobin didn't say much, and said, "This time I came mainly to discuss Argentina with President Pei
Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.
"Lao Li attaches great importance to your opinion, so I found Mr. Kang, and Huaan Company is fully responsible for hiring veterans." Liu Xiaobin took out a cigarette, because he knew that Pei Chengyi had quit smoking, so he was not polite, lit it and took two puffs, and said, "The matter of recruiting veterans is not troublesome, according to the information we have, let alone hundreds of people, even if it is a few thousand, it is not a problem." Before we came, we were in contact with the Argentine intelligence agencies, and as long as we could recruit good enough soldiers, the commission was negotiable. It's not that the more mercenaries recruited, the better, so Lao Li asked me to come over and figure out the specific situation so that I could do things according to the rules. β
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, and heard the meaning of Liu Xiaobin's words.
Obviously, the Military Intelligence Bureau is very dissatisfied with what Pei Chengyi did in Argentina, at least Li Cunxun thinks that Pei Chengyi is playing the piano indiscriminately, otherwise he will not let Liu Xiaobin come over" Li Cunxun's mood is completely understandable, the "Constitutional Amendment Movement" is going on vigorously, and the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau must be very busy, but Pei Chengyi has done so many things in Argentina, even if Li Cunxun's temper is good, he will be very annoyed. If it's just annoyance, it's not a big deal. According to Pei Chengyi's guess, Li Cunxun must be worried about getting into trouble. Although in the eyes of outsiders, the Military Intelligence Bureau is almost omnipotent, but at the special stage, Li Cunxun Xu Ya Oh concentrated on dealing with domestic problems, and it was impossible to keep an eye on the outside. If Pei Chengyi creates today's big trouble at this time, because Li Cunxun is fully responsible for the aid work, it must be him who wipes Pei Chengyi's ass. There is no doubt that Li Cunxun does not want to get into trouble, especially at this time.
Waiting for Liu Xiaobin to pick up the teacup, Pei Chengyi opened his mouth and said, "What does Lao Li mean?" β
"If you can, you can help, and we can't help if we can." Liu Xiaobin put down the teacup and said, "Although I have not yet contacted the relevant personnel in Argentina, and the negotiations on Mr. Kang's side will not start until tomorrow, according to the information we have had, the situation in Argentina is much worse than we imagined." β
"What do you mean?" Pei Chengyi immediately frowned.
Liu Xiaobin smiled and turned his gaze to Kang Xiaoting.
"Before coming here, we had preliminary contact with the Argentine authorities and obtained a contract of intent from the Argentine side." Kang Xiaoting took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying, handed it to Pei Chengyi, who was sitting opposite, and said, "According to the wishes put forward by the Albanian side, in addition to entrusting us to hire a group of retired officers and soldiers of the Airborne Forces, we also hope to hire a group of retired pilots, especially fighter pilots, through us."
"Pilot?" Pei Chengyi let out a sigh, "How many pilots does Argentina want to hire?"
Kang Xiaoting smiled bitterly and said, "There is no specific number, in their words, the more the merrier." β
Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that the situation in Argentina is indeed much worse than we imagined. β
"This is just the beginning.
Liu Xiaobin lit a second cigarette and said, "If the intelligence is correct, the analysis within Argentina on the recovery of the Falklands through military operations is very serious, and even there are disagreements within the Argentine army." In other words, Theron does not have absolute support. If the war is won, everything is easy to say, and no one will confront the president who has made a lot of achievements. After losing the battle, Theron was lucky to be able to save his life. β
"In other words, you can only win and not lose."
Liu Xiaobin smiled and didn't say anything.
"Maybe there's a third solution." Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "What is the attitude in China?" β
"Lao Li?.
Pei Chengyi shook his head, believing that Liu Xiaobin understood what he meant, so he didn't say much.
I don't know much Liu Xiaobin sighed and said, "You also know the situation in the country, although no one dares to underestimate Yuan's ability, but at this juncture, we'd better not make trouble for Yuan." According to Lao Li's explanation, in the absence of clearer instructions, everything acted according to the original plan. β
"That is, still to provide war support to Argentina?"
Liu Xiaobin nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
"In that case, we have to reassess the whole situation."
"That's why Lao Li asked me to come to you."
Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said, "When will you go back?" β
"In a few days, I will return to China with Mr. Kang." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "It's just that my identity is a negotiation expert hired by Huaan Company, and I will participate in the negotiation work throughout the process, so we must get it done tonight." β
"That's too sudden, isn't it?"
Liu Xiaobin extinguished the cigarette butt with a smile, and said that it was not sudden, and for Mr. Pei, the sudden attack of the spot was not two at all; Yes. β
Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's hurry up." β
"We have to get one thing clear first."
"I understand." Pei Chengyi pondered for a while and said, "Before meeting you, according to my personal judgment, Argentina's chances of recovering the Falklands through military action are not small, and there is even a great deal of certainty. If we take into account the issues mentioned at the beginning, we have to take it with a few reservations. The question is that whether or not to support Argentina's use of force to recover the Falklands is not determined by Argentina's military strength. If I'm not mistaken, Yuan didn't make a decision with too much thought about Argentina's military power. That is, regardless of our judgment, the war will still break out. β
Liu Xiaobin nodded, agreeing with Pei Chengyi's analysis.
"Since war is inevitable, what we have to do is how to make Argentina win."
"We can't afford to let Argentina pay too much."
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the scale of the war must be controlled. Although the attitude of the belligerents determines the scale of the war, we must admit that this is a very special war, and it is not Argentina or Britain that really determines the scale of the war, so we must take appropriate action to exert influence on both sides and try to keep the scale of the war within a tolerable range. β
"I'm in charge of this." Liu Xiaobin sighed and said, "You also know that Lao Li has to focus on China during this time, so I am responsible for foreign-related work." When I return to China, I will make arrangements for the things you mentioned and keep you informed of important news. β
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "Lao Liu, what you say is not simple. β
"What do you mean?" Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment.
"Need I explain?" Ji Chengyi glanced at Kang Xiaoting, who was sitting opposite.
"Lao Kang is his own man, and he participated in the operation of the Military Intelligence Agency more than 20 years ago," Liu Xiaobin stopped suddenly, apparently, he realized and began to say that he had leaked his mouth. "You mean the war will break out soon?"
"That's not what I said."
"Of course, I said that I missed my mouth, or that I made a mistake." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "We have not received any news that Argentina is about to go to war, and we have enough reason to believe that the Argentine authorities will not go to war behind our backs when we must rely on our country's support." As for Lao Li, he is very busy now, and when he finishes dealing with domestic affairs, he will pay attention to this side. β
Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said: "No matter what, the scale of the war must be reduced as much as possible, only in this way can it be possible for Argentina to win without paying a heavy price, and only in this way can it be possible for Britain to withdraw from the war with dignity after being hit head-on." More importantly, this is the only way to shorten the duration of engagement. Only by the decisive battle can Argentina truly enjoy the fruits of victory, and TherΓ³n will not fall because of heavy war losses. Of course. Judging from the international situation, a war decision is the best way to put an end to foreign interference. In my judgment, if the war lasts for three months, the United States will certainly provide Britain with military supplies and important strategic materials; If the war lasts for half a year, the United States may provide weapons and equipment to Britain, or even send U.S. weapons and equipment to Britain in the form of lend-lease. If the war lasts a year and the United States does nothing, the war will end. β
"What not to do?" Kang Xiaoting was stunned for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, ahead"
Liu Xiaobin pressed his hand and said: "What Mr. Pei means is that if Argentina can't win within a year, Terron will be overthrown by the opposition, and Argentina will have political turmoil." β
"That is, we have to help Argentina win in three months."
Liu Xiaobin lit a third cigarette and said: "In this case, the scale of military aid to Afghanistan must be expanded, and a large number of military supplies must be shipped immediately." β
"There is also the military Gu Ran regiment."
"This is not a problem, Lao Li has explained, and in two days, the first batch of advisory group members will arrive."
Pei Chengyi nodded and didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
"What else must be paid attention to and that must be addressed as soon as possible?"
"That's a lot, if you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid you can talk about dawn."
Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment and said, "That's it, let's talk about the main issues first." β
"The main issues are the two points I mentioned earlier, and the third point related to Mr. Kang."
Liu Xiaobin glanced at Kang Xiaoting and said that he understood that Pei Chengyi was referring to the hiring of military personnel.
"Anything else?"
Pei Chengyi shook his head and said: "The main problem is these three catties" The others are not the main ones, but they can't be taken lightly. β
"You summarize the questions that come to mind, and I'll send someone to you in a few days." Liu Xiaobin glanced at his watch and said, "It's not early, and we won't delay your rest."
Of course, in case of emergency, please feel free to contact me or Lao Li, and we will provide you with full support. β
Pei Chengyi didn't say much, and immediately got up to send it away
After sending Liu Xiaobin and Kang Xiaoting away, Pei Chengyi did not go back to the bedroom to rest.
Although the two unwelcome guests were not welcome, the information brought by the two shocked Pei Chengyi. Liu Xiaobin certainly would not joke about such a big thing, that is, Argentina was not prepared for war. Regardless of Pei Chengyi's performance in front of Liu Xiaobin, the public swears to say. He also had to think about the worst possible outcome of the A-Hsu War, what would be the outcome?
On the night of poison, Pei Chengyi was thinking about this issue.
Because he is not a saint, he considers the gains and losses of the individual as well as the gains and losses of the state.
Before dawn, Pei Chengyi called Dongfang Wen over and asked his assistant to find the assistant sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau and retrieve several materials from the secret database of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
That morning, when Huaan was negotiating secretly with the Argentine authorities, Pei Chengyi was doing something else.
Whether for personal or national interests, Pei Chengyi must make a comprehensive and thorough assessment of the imminent war. If he is in China, Pei Chengyi can use the computer-level of the General Staff to analyze all kinds of intelligence data provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then conduct a large-scale war game deduction. Because of the limited conditions and the lack of strong hardware support, Pei Chengyi can only rely on his own experience.
In the next few days, Pei Chengyi put all his energy into this matter.
In the past few days, the situation outside has also changed a lot.
In February, Huaan signed the first entrusted employment contract with the Argentine government. According to the contract, Huaan Company will come forward to hire retired soldiers from the Republic to form an assault force with a scale of about 100 people, and provide camps and training grounds for the troops; Then, according to the needs of the military operation, the Argentine army purchased the right to use the unit from Huaan; In order to secure the interests of Huaan, the Argentine Government will pay for the funds necessary for the establishment of the unit, and then pay for the operation according to the scale of the operation and the agreement of the specific operation.
There is no doubt that for Huaan, this is a guaranteed deal.
Because much of the information used as the basis for the negotiations was provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, which had already done its tricks, even if Argentina only needed to pay for the cost of setting up an assault force, it would be able to recoup the cost of Huaan by doubling the estimated amount of funding. More importantly, after the outbreak of the war, the initiative was completely in the hands of Hua'an Company, and the Afghan Army had no bargaining chips at all, and Hua'an Company decided how much action costs it needed to pay. In other words, what Huaan needs to consider is not whether it will lose money, but whether it will be long-term or short-term, that is, to make a lot of money in one go, or to put a long line to catch big fish.
It was also on this day that the "Constitutional Amendment Movement" of the Republic made significant gains.
After two days of debate and deliberation, the "Amendment to the Election Law" submitted by Wang Yuanqing was finally adopted by vote after minor revisions. As with any previous bill, Gu Weimin officially announced at a press conference that evening that the new "Election Law" would come into force on April Day. Although this arrangement does not break with custom, it is unwritten rule that any bill will enter into force within a few days of its passage, and the date of entry into force is usually set on the first day of the month. The reason for setting aside the "buffer" time is very simple: before the new bill takes effect, it needs to be printed into a document, and it needs to be publicized and promoted, and it is impossible to start implementing it immediately after it is voted on, so it is necessary to give the people an appropriate period of adaptation.
Although in the eyes of many, the Election Law Amendment is not a key bill of the "Constitutional Amendment Movement", at most it can only be regarded as a "Constitutional Amendment Movement". However, in view of the actual situation of the republic, especially the political atmosphere of the republic, it is not grumbling about the great significance of the passage of this bill in the vote.
To put it simply, through the Amendment to the Electoral Law, the vast majority of deputies have chosen political positions.
If the same thing is born in a certain Western country, it is not clear how it will end. It's just that in the political context of the republic, when the "wall-riding faction" makes a choice, even ordinary people can guess what the result will be, and there is no suspense at all.
Of course, the words of some people can also illustrate the importance of this natural thing.
Answering a reporter's question at a press briefing held after he officially announced his resignation, Wang Yuanqing said: Without a new election law, there would be no new constitution and no brand-new democratic politics, and it would be impossible for the political reform of the republic to achieve a phased victory. It is precisely the new electoral law that gives every citizen of the Republic the most basic rights when he turns old this year, and the Republic has entered a new era; If you want to make a visual explanation of the importance of the new electoral law. It is no exaggeration to say that the moment the new election law was voted on, the Father of the Nation was in his mouth? It was only at this moment that the long-cherished wish set up a year ago was truly realized, and it was not until this moment that the Chinese nation entered a new era of freedom and democracy.
It is for this reason that, decades later, this day, the four February flying days, was designated as the "Day of the Democratic Republic".
If we look at the events of the birth of the two days in February, it is not an exaggeration to describe the importance of the new electoral law in any exaggerated terms.
To put it in the simplest terms: the ballot given to citizens by the new electoral law is the golden key to a new era.
It's just that for Pei Chengyi, who is far away on the other side of the world, he didn't feel the joy brought by this, or even felt anything, because the troubles in front of him were enough for him to forget everything else
For Pei Chengyi, it is a big regret that he could not spend a moment of creation significance in China.
