After leaving the Iranian presidential palace, Lin Muxun began to sigh for a long time

Pei Chengyi knew what Lin Muxun was thinking, but he didn't speak first, because he knew better that Lin Muxun would definitely endure it first

"Lao Pei, you have made me miserable now. 【】”

"Lao Lin, you should thank me."

"Thank you?" Lin Muxun said with a bitter face, "Because of your words, Sanjian Group's investment in Iran will lose at least hundreds of millions." If the news is announced, I am afraid that the shares of Sanjian Group will fall within a few hours. This is not only a matter of the Sanjian Group, but also related to the entire military industrial chain, and all military enterprises in the republic, as well as those related to the military industry, will be unlucky. ”

"To mold? I don't think so. Pei Chengyi said with a smile, "First of all, Sanjian Group's investment in Iran has a total of tens of billions, and most of it is infrastructure investment that will not lose much. Secondly, what I said to Ahmadinejad will definitely not come out of the presidential palace, as you said, the first unlucky thing is not my country's military industrial enterprises, which have opened up a new market for the republican industrial enterprises, including the Sanjian Group, as well as military-related enterprises, and it is a huge market with sales of up to hundreds of billions this year

"Did you deliberately say that you leaked your mouth?.

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "You should know very well whether you deliberately said that you leaked your mouth." ”

Lin Muxun sighed and said, "It seems that I'm a little worried. The question is, I don't understand a little bit, why are you doing tai chi in front of Ahmadinejad? Although I don't know what Lao Li told you, the information you revealed to Ahmadinejad has no criteria at all, and you will regard Iran as a close friend and a partner of interests. To be honest, if I hadn't known you a long time ago, I really don't believe that you worked in the army for a few years, not in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs

"To be honest, when I applied for the volunteer program, my third choice was to be a diplomat

Lin Muxun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Although he has not taken the college entrance examination of the republic, after returning to China for so many years, he has long known what the college entrance examination of the republic is like.

"What do you think Ahmadinejad is?"

"The President of Iran?" Lin Muxun frowned and said, "At least he is a very powerful politician." ”

"This is just a basic judgment, if I need to add a few modifiers, I will choose" ideal ambition, and "wise" Pei Chengyi glanced at Lin Muxun and said, "Of course." This is just my judgment, after all, I am not a politician, so there is no politician's vision.

Lin Muxun nodded and said, "You're right, I've met Ahmadinejad a few times and feel the same way

"In the face of such a politician, can we play false?" Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Although the countries I have been to are only a few catties", but as far as the politicians I have come into contact with, politics itself has little to do with national traditions, whether it is a politician in Pakistan, Argentina, or North Korea, it is the same when pursuing and safeguarding interests. So I believe that so are the politicians of Iran. ”

"Not to mention Ahmadinejad."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and looked at Lin Muxun.

"He is not only the eldest son of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, but also one of the few politicians in Iranian politics today who has studied abroad and lived abroad for a long time." Lin Muxun paused a little and said, "I don't know if Lao Li told you, Ahmadinejad lived in my country for five years when he was young

"There is no mention of this in the relevant documents given to me by the Military Intelligence Agency."

"It should have happened in the early 90s of the last century, when the Iran-Iraq war had just ended, and the United States beat Saddam Hussein in the Gulf War, and the Iranian authorities had a very strong sense of crisis, which led to internal contradictions. It was at this time that Ahmadinejad Sr. became a reformist and returned to university to pursue a doctorate in engineering in transportation science.

In Lao Li's words, the elder Ahmadinejad must have thought that he could rejuvenate the country through industry. At that time, the situation in Iran was very complicated, the factional struggle was very fierce, and the influence of the old Ahmadinejad was not very great, so he sent his children such as Ahmadinejad Jr. to several countries and Ahmadinejad Jr. came to our country. Although Lao Li did not say it explicitly, I think it is very likely that the Military Intelligence Agency arranged this matter

"In other words, the MIA made a secret agreement with old Ahmadinejad at that time?"

"There is no secret agreement, after all, at that time, no one knew that Ahmadinejad Sr. could become president and become the first president in Iranian history to propose reforms

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, feeling that Lin Muxun's words made some sense.

"Lao Li only mentioned this matter to me, maybe he was too busy. So I forgot to tell you. Although I don't really understand the rules of the Military Intelligence Agency, I think that most of these kinds of things involving the top leaders of other countries will not appear in the form of words. ”

"I know this, and it's no wonder that Ahmadinejad is able to speak a very authentic Northeast dialect."

"It's not authentic, but it's very fluent."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said: "In this case, I have to believe that Ahmadinejad is a very aspiring president." If you think about it, the early 90s of the last century was the most difficult period after the reform and opening up, and it was also a period of great social changes in our country. Ahmadinejad has lived in our country for five years, and he must have seen "the vicissitudes of life in the country, according to information provided by the Military Intelligence Agency, he visited our country seven times before he woke up and starved, and as many as five official and unofficial visits to our country since he became president. Such frequent diplomatic activities are enough to prove that Ahmadinejad attaches great importance to the construction of our country and to the experience of our country. As an idealistic politician, in his view, China can overcome many difficulties to become a country under the condition of heavy population burden and scarce per capita resources, and there is no reason why Iran will not become a country. ”

Lin Muxun smiled, and when he saw that Pei Chengyi was interested, he didn't intervene

"Of course, ambition alone doesn't make a big deal. Because I don't know much, it's hard to evaluate Ahmadinejad's talent, but being able to become the president of Iran, and becoming the president of Iran after the Syrian-Israeli war, is enough to prove Ahmadinejad's other two talents, one is courage, and the other is skill. Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and said, "With these three qualities, Ahmadinejad must be a strong politician." In the presence of such politicians, it is useless for us to play any tricks. Think about it, we all know the relationship between the republic and Iran, can Ahmadinejad not be clear, and will be deceived by a few rhetorical dizzy? If so, he does not deserve to live in the Iranian presidential palace. We are here this time not to discuss a few investment projects, but to discuss the fundamental interests of our two countries. ”

"In other words, what you said later is not false?"

"Which word?"

Jiang Muxun was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Of course it's the last sentence."

"You mean three months?"

Lin Muxun nodded, indicating that this was the question asked.

"Do you think I'd be lying about something so important? To be honest, after talking so much with Ahmadinejad, I was foreshadowing in front of me, and only this sentence fell to the point. ”

"In other words, we only have three months to prepare

"Didn't Lao Li tell you?"

Lin Muxun sighed and said, "You hinted at me, but I didn't react at the time, and I wouldn't have thought that the war was so close to us, so I didn't think about it in that direction." When I heard you say this, I remembered that Lao Li was hinting at me when he was talking to me about aid to Iraq and arms procurement. ”

"It seems that we have to give advice to Lao Li, and we can't play dumb riddles with us on everything

"No way, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change."

Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "It is precisely because time is so tight that I have revealed so much information to Ahmadinejad. While Ahmadinejad would never involve Iran in a war for our sake, he has no choice but to do so for Iran's sake. Clearly define the position and the situation, and as long as he is convinced that Iran's interests are tied to ours, he will have to work closely with us. Most importantly. For us, Iran is irreplaceable. Although for Iran. We are also irreplaceable, but this time we are not facing an ordinary enemy, and even if we have a little bit of distrust with Iran, the consequences are unimaginable

"Will the United States fight for Turkey?"

"Turkey?" Pei Chengyi sneered and said, "The Middle East issue has little to do with Turkey at all. ”

Lin Muxun frowned slightly, understanding what Pei Chengyi meant.

"In any case, we can only strive for the best result if we are sincere."

"That's true, and Ahmadinejad has no other choice. Regardless of whether he has ambition or not, whether he has the courage or not, whether he puts Iran's national interests in the highest position, at the moment of the great enemy, he can only cooperate with us, and he must cooperate with us, and he must cooperate with all his strength, and there can be no reservations Lin Muxun paused a little and said, "The question is, don't you have to worry about leading a world war because of this conflict?" ”

"I'm afraid it's not there yet

"It's all really done, and there is still suspense? .

"If you do it, it's not a world war." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the United States will not give up the Middle East region like it gave up Japan and India. To put it bluntly, Japan and India are to us what Latin America is to the United States, and the American authorities know that it is impossible for us to be strong in the Western Pacific and South Asia. The Middle East, which has been the West's traditional sphere of influence, has never faced a real challenge in the region that the United States has dominated for several years. If you take into account some details, such as the influence of the Jews, the United States will fight the war to the end, even if it fights hard. The question is, can the basic situation in the Middle East make it a source of world war?

Lin Muxun frowned slightly, as if he heard something.

"Think about it, what is the core of the Middle East problem?" Pei Chengyi paused for a while, waiting for Lin Muxun to look at him before he continued, "The Middle East is 108,000 miles away from the United States, and it is not much closer to us, and we and the United States have no cultural and moral roots in the region, so it is impossible to fight to the death here." More importantly, the Middle East problem is, in the final analysis, a problem created by the Western world, and as long as we can eliminate the root cause of the problem and deal with the aftermath in the most rational way, we will be able to make the US authorities realize that the era of Western civilization dominating the Middle East region has passed, and the so-called return to where it came from. The Middle East will be dominated by whoever it belongs to, and neither the United States nor China has the qualifications or the right to dominate the Middle East. If the U.S. authorities were to hold on at this time, I believe that even if a world war broke out, the U.S. would lose the war quickly. In fact, the interest groups that dominate the United States will certainly not do this, after all, a world war in which they were defeated brought any good "The question is, what do we get"

"Nothing can be gained outside of morality."

"That's a money-losing business.

Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Lin, when it comes to doing business, you are definitely the best in the world, but the national interests must not be measured by the set in the business field." I'm a straightforward man who doesn't have a cover, and if I go too far, don't mind. To be honest, in my opinion, morality is worthless in normal times, but in some special times, no amount of money can buy it

Jiang Muxun knew what Pei Chengyi meant, so he didn't argue with Pei Chengyi.

"Actually. If we want to defeat the United States fundamentally, we have to make a moral fuss

Lin Muxun seemed to hear a little famous, and he seemed a little anxious.

"I still vividly remember that in the first strategic theory class at the National Defense University, the first question assigned to us by the teacher was how to crack the global hegemony of the United States."

"How did you answer?"

"Me?" Pei Chengyi shook his head with a smile and said, "It's no different from others, anyway, it's those traditional strategic theories, such as the hard Yue based on comprehensive national strength, or the soft Yue that follows the exhibition." ”

Lin Muxun seemed to be a little unconvinced, after all, Pei Chengyi's military talent was obvious to all.

"I'll tell you the truth, this question has been bothering me for years, and I didn't figure it out until not long ago." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Historically, after the Industrial Revolution, each overlord has its own unique advantages. Britain was the first to dominate the country of the Industrial Revolution, and in the era of the empire on which the sun never sets, Britain had the world's unique technological advantages. Other contemporaneous powers also had their own advantages, such as France, which had a strong sense of national pride and was not much inferior to Britain in terms of technology, Germany had a rigorous attitude and outlook on statecraft, and there was no shortage of excellent strategists, Russia had a vast territory and rich resources, and the United States had vigorous vigor and unremitting fighting spirit. By the time the United States became hegemonic, the only one that could confront the United States was the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union's advantages were the same as Russia's, nothing more than land and resources. It can be seen that if we want to cross the United States, we must first find a unique advantage. In the final analysis, from World War II to the present, the United States will still be the most influential country in the world for a hundred years, and it has nothing more than three advantages, one is military hegemony based on comprehensive national strength, the second is financial hegemony led by Wall Street, and the third is ideological hegemony written by democracy and freedom. Of the three hegemons, the first two are visible and relatively easy to deal with, at least so far, we have done a good job. The third hegemon is invisible and the most difficult to deal with. It has to be said that our leaders have made a lot of efforts, but they have not received good enough results. I think that only by jumping out of this circle can we find a way to defeat the United States

"What do you mean?" Lin Muxun immediately asked.

Pei Chengyi glanced at Lin Muxun and said: "To put it bluntly, the United States can dominate the world by relying on hegemony, a hegemony based on strength. ”

"You mean

If we can't change the way we compete with the United States, that is, get rid of the traditional thinking of competing for hegemony and create a way of competition that belongs to us and we decide the rules of the game, we will never think about the United States Pei Chengyi paused a little and said, "What we see is the strength of morality." As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, that is, when the Confucian culture that has influenced the Chinese nation for more than 2,000 years was still in its infancy, our ancestors put forward the "hegemony" and "royal road", these two ways and means to achieve hegemony, and they were perfectly applied. Sometimes, I have to sigh that for more than 2,000 years, in terms of strategic thinking, we have not only not made progress, but have fallen far behind our ancestors

Lin Muxun nodded and said, "You're right, we should indeed use the power of morality. ”

"Thankfully, there are people up there who recognize the problem and are doing it."

"What do you mean?"

"What do the Kurds have to do with us? And what does the Jews have to do with us? Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "In the final analysis, these two ethnic groups are basically unrelated to us. It is a moral imperative that we can stand up and resolve the Middle East issue at this time. If we can translate this principle into action, I believe that after this war, we will embark on a completely different path from the United States. Although we have exactly the same goals as the United States, and we will have the same goal no matter how we go, it has at least given us a chance to cross the United States, and it is likely that we will have the only opportunity in our lifetime

Although Pei Chengyi's words were a bit serious, Lin Muxun believed that he was not exaggerating.

"Lao Lin, you have to promise me that whoever asks, you have to keep it secret for me." Pei Chengyi's gaze stayed on Lin Muxun County for a few seconds, and then he said, "Of course, if you accidentally say it and cause me trouble with losing my head, I won't admit anything."

Lin Muxun was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course, I didn't hear anything." Aren't we going to visit the Supreme Spiritual Leader of Iran, who has time to brag to you

When Lin Muxun said this, Pei Chengyi was a little relieved.

In fact, both of them knew in their hearts, and after this conversation, the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
