Chapter 56: The Last Chance
When Wang Yuanqing walked into the conference room, Ying Changhui was dancing with his eyebrows dancing to introduce the major victory he had just won.
He walked straight to Ji Youguo's side and whispered in the Führer's ear. Everyone's eyes were attracted, and Ying Changhui also stopped his mouth.
Ji Youguo frowned slightly, let Wang Yuanqing step aside, and said: "I just received news that the United States has made major concessions and agreed to impose comprehensive sanctions on both sides of the war. ”
The generals immediately looked at them in disbelief, as if they all thought it was unlikely.
"The Security Council will hold closed-door consultations in half an hour, and Huang Guowei is still in the consulate, so let's hear what he has to say." Ji Youguo stood up and motioned for Wang Yuanqing to connect the video phone to the big screen. Not long after, Huang Guowei's avatar appeared on the screen. "Foreign Minister, can you tell us about the specific situation?"
"Hello Führer, good generals." The foreign minister, who had just won a major victory, was triumphant, full of spring breeze, and showed his style. "I just received a call from U.S. Secretary of State Lynch, who agreed to sanction both warring sides in accordance with the package we have proposed. The Security Council will convene an emergency meeting in 25 minutes to discuss the details of the sanctions resolution behind closed doors. If all goes well, there will be definite results in four hours. ”
"In four hours, the Security Council will adopt the sanctions agreement?" Zhao Rundong immediately asked.
"The United Kingdom, France and the eight rotating countries have expressed their support for the sanctions proposal, and the key is whether Russia will exercise its veto power."
"I will talk on the phone with the President of Russia." Ji Youguo stopped in front of the screen, "If Russia doesn't veto, our proposal will take effect?" ”
"We received 12 votes in favor, more than half. As long as it is not vetoed by Russia, the resolution can take effect. ”
Ji Youguo quickly thought for a moment and said: "If you can't reach an agreement, you can make appropriate concessions on some minor issues." The premise is that the United States must be convinced that as long as the sanctions resolution is not adopted in the Security Council, we will expand the scope of our attack and carry the war to the end! ”
"Understood. That's what I conveyed to Lynchland. ”
"Any questions?" Ji Youguo looked at Huang Guowei on the screen.
"Not yet."
"The results are in. Notify me immediately. Ji Youguo asked Wang Yuanqing to turn off the video call. Turning to the general of the meeting, he said. "The situation is already clear. Four hours later. The war will end. For us. This is the moment that will come. It is also the last chance. ”
"The Air Force is ready. You're ready to strike! Yan Yuqing immediately expressed his attitude.
"The Army's combat units are also in place. Just wait for the Führer to give the order. Not to be outdone, Peng Maobang is not to be outdone.
Ji Youguo smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Rundong.
"Since the war is coming to an end, we might as well take the opportunity to make another profit." Zhao Rundong didn't hide it, and said what he thought in his heart, "Besides, isn't the war not over?" Since we are still fighting, we can't hold back. ”
"What the Minister of Defense meant, and what I me." Ji Youguo gave Zhao Rundong a lot of face, "Time is pressing, I will not delay your precious time." Old Peng, what kind of plan did you mention last time......"
"'Reaper' battle plan. Before the outbreak of the war, we had a plan in place, and the main targets were ......"
Ji Youguo pressed his hand, stopped Peng Maobang's words, and said: "I'm not good at military operations, everything depends on you." I have only one request: to use the last four hours to teach India a hard lesson, defeat India's arrogance, and let the whole world know the military strength of the republic! ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" Peng Maobang immediately stood up and saluted.
Several other generals were caught off guard and stood up to salute.
"Next, it's up to you, I'm waiting at home for the good news."
When he left the General Staff, Ji Youguo was in a very comfortable mood.
As the personal secretary of the head of state, Wang Yuanqing participated in the whole planning work. Although he is not the main character, he is the closest supporting character to the main character.
"Xiao Wang, wait a minute, help me contact the Russian president, just say that there is something important and need to call immediately."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Russia won't go against us, right?" ”
"What do you think?"
"This ......," Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "I don't know." ”
"Don't be modest, you know it in your heart. You've been following me for so many years, and I still don't know you? Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head, "Last time we proposed unilateral sanctions against India, in order to maintain the status of a great power, Russia voted no on the grounds that 'one side of the war should not be sanctioned'. This time we propose sanctions against both warring parties, and Russia has no reason to veto. Russia is well aware of India's situation, and if the war continues, it will hurt India the most. As long as the sanctions resolution is adopted in the Security Council, both we and India and Pakistan will consider the consequences of the sanctions and find excuses to declare a truce. This is not bad for Russia, after all, India has suffered heavy losses and will import a lot of weapons and equipment in the short term. The Indian army has long been accustomed to Russian-made weapons, and it is impossible to immediately master American-made weapons, right? ”
"Russia will not be on our side either." Speaking of which, Wang Yuanqing suddenly revealed what he thought.
"How? I knew you knew it was in your heart. Ji Youguo laughed, "You're right, Russia won't show its attitude." The United States supports sanctions because India must rely on the United States. This is not the case with Russia, which openly supports sanctions will inevitably lead to a rupture between Russia and India. On this issue, Nedmeiv will have reservations. If I'm not mistaken, Russia will abstain. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded, he thought so too.
Back at the head of state, Ji Youguo had a hotline call with Russian President Nedmev.
The two chatted very speculatively, and Nedmeiv also took the opportunity to invite Ji Youguo to take time to visit Russia, and Ji Youguo readily agreed. Nedmev is so attentive because, first, China has just shown its hand, its international status has been greatly improved, and its prestige is soaring, so it has taken the opportunity to draw closer to China and Russia and increase Russia's influence; The second is to enhance China-Russia friendship, deepen bilateral exchanges, attract Chinese investment, sell products to China, and help Russia get out of its economic predicament; The third is to act as a peacemaker, mediate the contradictions between China and India, and restore Russia's influence in India.
Ji Youguo fully understands Russia's interests.
For the current republic, a slightly stronger Russia can play a role in counterbalancing the European Union, containing the United States, and stabilizing the situation in Northeast Asia. In terms of economy and trade, the Republic is gradually becoming a major exporter of capital and will soon become the world's number one importer of resources, both of which can carry out deeper and broader cooperation with Russia; Although the Sino-Indian contradiction has not been completely resolved, the republic will not have a direct conflict with India in the short term, and improving relations is an inevitable trend, and Russia's mediation can not only weaken the influence of the United States on India, but also allow Russia to directly confront the United States and reduce the pressure on the republic, which is beneficial but harmless.
Although the two heads of state did not talk about the sanctions on the phone, Nedmeve hinted that Russia would not become an obstructing force as long as it did not harm Russia's interests.
After taking care of this important matter, Ji Youguo put on a back coat, left the study, and went to the garden.
The garden occupies 80% of the area of the West Garden, and most of the flowers planted are very ordinary. Some were planted by the former head of state, while others were planted by Ji Youguo and his wife in the past few years. Ji Youguo likes the half-human-tall jasmine the most. Why does the Führer like jasmine? Nobody knows.
It's the time of day for jasmine flowers, and the hundreds of white buds look exceptionally pure in the night light.
"Führer, I've got some snacks for you." Wang Yuanqing put down the plate with snacks and tea, "This is the big red robe that Premier Pang brought back when he visited Fujian. Doctors say that black tea can nourish the stomach. ”
Ji Youguo smiled and nodded. "Sit with me for a while, don't be busy."
Wang Yuanqing didn't sit down and stood beside Ji Youguo.
"There's no one else now, sit down and talk to me." Ji Youguo picked up the teacup, and Wang Yuanqing was no longer polite, and sat down on the stone bench next to him. "Xiao Wang, what do you think of General Zhao Rundong?"
"Minister of Defense?" Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, "Führer, ......what do you mean by this?"
"You also know the relationship between Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang and me, I met them when I was still the chairman of the autonomous region." Chief Ji You sighed, "I have always reused Peng Maobang, mainly because Peng Maobang has a unique military force that can inspire everyone. It's just that Peng Maobang is a simple soldier, and he is very immature in other aspects. Over the years, I have more or less neglected Zhao Rundong, and now that I think about it, I have indeed done a bit too much. ”
Wang Yuanqing was secretly startled and guessed the Fuhrer's intentions.
Ji Youguo's term of office in the second realm is about to expire, and a successor needs to be considered. Peng Maobang was an orthodox soldier and could not be the head of the republic. Wang Yuanqing has always thought that Ji Youguo is focusing on cultivating Pang Xinglong, who is proficient in economics, and now it seems that Ji Youguo's mind has changed, and I am afraid that Pang Xinglong has little hope.
Is Zhao Rundong the right person?
Military background is not the key, several heads of state of the republic are military backgrounds, Zhao Rundong resigned from the military when he became Minister of National Defense, and is now a retired general. Age is not a problem, Zhao Rundong is five years younger than Ji Youguo, and he will only be sixty-two years old two years later. The point is, does Zhao Rundong have the ability to lead the republic?
Ji Youguo seemed to be pondering this question as well, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
"Hey, I don't want to!" Ji Youguo patted his thigh, "Let's talk about the current situation." Xiao Wang, why do you think the attitude of the United States has suddenly changed? ”
"This ......"
"I just ask casually and say whatever comes to mind."
"Führer, I'll be ugly." Wang Yuanqing no longer hesitated, "There are several reasons for the sudden change of attitude of the United States. One is that we will expand the area of attack and even launch a ground war. Second, they are afraid that the Indian dog will jump over the wall and use nuclear weapons. In the end, I just want to take the opportunity to be a peacemaker, both a bitch and a memorial arch. ”
"You guessed what Japel was thinking." Ji Youguo smiled faintly.
"I also analyzed it according to the Führer's thinking, it should be right."
"That's right, that's why the United States turned." Ji Youguo stood up, "It's just that I want to add that the United States is afraid of getting involved in the war, and we have lifted the fig leaf and exposed its ugliness, so we are busy trying to end the Indo-Pakistani war." ”
"In the dialect of my hometown, this is called a cat stealing glutinous rice cakes, and he can't get rid of his claws."
Ji Youguo laughed out loud and laughed heartily.
