When Feng opened the room, Pei Chengyi only showed up that his vest was only sweated by Le Feitian. 【】

Although Gu Weimin is far inferior to Wang Yuanqing in terms of grand plans, as the most important leader of the country, Gu Weimin is very difficult to deal with. This not only made Pei Chengyi feel pressure, but also made Pei Chengyi feel a little relieved. A country that is not easy to deal with means that Pei Chengyi needs to put out the inventory and inventory in his belly, and does not dare to have the slightest reservation, and it also means that those countries that intend to deal with the republic need to spend more effort, and the conspiracy to deal with the republic cannot be easily succeeded. Anyway, the nearly half-hour conversation made Pei Chengyi believe. Gu Weimin is a qualified, if not excellent, national leader.

Seeing Li Cunxun leaning against the door and smiling at him, Pei Chengyi suddenly had a feeling of being teased.

"You've been in for half an hour, ten minutes longer than I expected." Li Cunxun, who was dressed as an ordinary official in a suit, greeted him, "How is it, the conversation is quite easy, right?" "The tear book bar is less than the concave factory, and the bad salary is due to the bad night

"Can it be easy?"

"It's a good thing it's not easy, isn't it?" Li Cunxun smiled and walked towards the room in front of him, "I prepared some food, let's talk while eating." ”

Speaking of eating, Pei Chengyi felt really hungry.

Before leaving the Physics Experiment Center, he planned to have breakfast on the plane, because Li Cunxun's appearance thugs had not eaten breakfast until now. Not to mention lunch, on Li Cunxun's special plane, there was no food at all except drinks. This is good, breakfast, lunch and dinner are solved together.

While Li Cunxun was preparing dinner. Pei Chengyi picked up the phone.

Obviously, Li Cunxun also knew that Pei Chengyi was in contact with his family, so he specially prepared a room with a telephone.

By the time Pei Chengyi explained the situation to his wife and daughter, Li Cunxun had already put a few plates of side dishes on the table.

"This is what I specially prepared Li Cunxun tore open the tin foil, and the tempting fragrance suddenly came out," There is limited space on the plane. And the electric blink oven can't make any good dishes, these are made by the special chefs of the best Chinese restaurants in Nairobi, and they are guaranteed to be no worse than the domestic ones. ”

"If you measure it by food, the Physics Experiment Center can be regarded as a foreign country."

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Then you're welcome, I'm hungry too, I'll talk about it when I'm full."

Where would Pei Chengyi be polite, before Li Cunxun's words were finished, he moved his chopsticks.

In a short time, Pei Chengyi filled his belly, and he had a little confidence.

"Originally, I thought Yuan would only talk to you for twenty minutes." Li Cunxun said. While pouring wine into Pei Chengyi's cup.

"We didn't talk about anything, mainly the things we talked about." Pei Chengyi knew what Li Cunxun meant, and unhurriedly briefly said the content of his conversation with Yuan.

Li Cunxun listened very carefully and seemed to be looking for loopholes.

Pei Chengyi is not a stupid person, except for the things that Gu Weimin tried to test him, everything else is honest, without the slightest concealment, naturally there will be no flaws.

After Pei Chengyi finished speaking, a few seconds later, Li Cunxun asked; "Yuan asked for your opinion?"

"yes, I was a little caught off guard." Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, the opinions I put forward are nothing. I think that with Yuan's ability, I don't need to mention the most chopped chapters to choose the tear book

"That's true, the opinions you put forward are basically the same as the results of my discussion with Yuan

Hearing Li Cunxun's words, Pei Chengyi knew that the director of the military intelligence bureau and the head of the country were not in the same boat.

"Of course, Yuan is right." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "There are indeed differences at the top level, but Mr. Lin has always insisted on taking a tough stance, and even promised to overthrow the Turkish government within half a year like he did with India." Then a Kurdish state was created in the southern regions of Turkey. ”

Pei Chengyi's brows jumped a few times, and he was very shocked.

"You don't believe it?"

"No, it's not that I don't believe it, it's just,"

"It's just too hard to accept, isn't it?" Li Cunxun shook his head with a smile and said, "Why does Mr. Lin have such an idea. I don't say you understand. The point is that Yuan seems to be more inclined to Mr. Lin. In order to prove his position, Mr. Lin put forward a relatively complete plan and analyzed and explained various situations. From a purely military point of view, even if Turkey is not India, it is impossible for us to deal with Turkey as we did with India, and it is not impossible to defeat Turkey within half a year. ”

"The question is. The Kurdish problem is not a military one

Li Cunxun smiled reluctantly and waited for Pei Chengyi to continue.

"It is undeniable that without taking into account the United States, it will take at most a month to overthrow the Turkish regime thugs through military action, even if it is to dismember Turkey and establish a pound in its southern regions. In Kurdish countries, the duration of large-scale military operations can also be controlled within three months. Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "The point is. If the problem can be solved by such a simple military action, there is no need for us to sit here and discuss. More importantly, the United States is the happiest of all when we do this. ”

"In fact, this is the reason why Yan Vice Yuan is firmly opposed to military action."

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had touched on a sensitive topic.

"As you said, we took the initiative to send troops. It's sure to get in trouble. Li Cunxun let out a long breath and said, "The question now is, what if we don't send troops?" Your suggestion to Yuan is that we can kick the ball to the United States in a roundabout way, and then respond to the United States through active defense, can we accurately judge the next move of the United States6. Xi Xian, this is an unknown. That is, after we put forward a concrete plan for the sheath of the Kurdish issue, we will again lose the initiative. The result is clear, we will lose all in the second round.

As for the solution proposed by Mr. Lin. I have always believed that this is not the opinion of Mr. Lin alone, or that it is not an opinion put forward to solve the current problem. Not to mention the dismemberment of Turkey, as long as we send troops to overthrow the Turkish regime, we will lose this struggle. It is impossible for Yuan not to understand this truth, and it is impossible to adopt Mr. Lin's opinion. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Did you start to say that?" Li Cunxun smiled faintly and said, "This is not a military issue

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Li Cunxun meant.

Obviously, the Middle East problem, which is involved in the Kurds, and the resulting domestic problems, is a microcosm of the internal struggle of the republic. Lin Xiaolei took the initiative to propose a military solution to the Kurdish issue, and the fundamental purpose was not to defeat Turkey, but to take this opportunity to consolidate its position as chief of the General Staff and enhance its prestige in the army. Gu Weimin's support for Lin Xiaolei does not mean that military means are effective. Instead, he wanted to use Lin Xiaolei to win over the army and get the support of the army. In the end, even if Lin Xiaolei's proposal was vetoed, it was also vetoed by Yan Jingyu, and he didn't have much to laugh at Gu Weimin. Other words; Gu Weimin has long seen through this and is in an invincible position.

Thinking of this, Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"In fact, by asking you to come back, I hope you can balance the current situation

"Balance?. Pei Chengyi immediately frowned.

"After Mr. Xiang, the only one who can balance the situation in the army is you Li Cunxun smiled. "More importantly, we will definitely take military action." The South Asian theater of operations will have to be used. Yuan Chenhao is still the commander of the South Asian Theater, as long as you are willing to play a role, you can offset the negative impact of the army

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "Yuan Chenhao is also the main battle?" ”

"No, he didn't say anything. And it's not his turn to take a stand. Li Cunxun paused a little and said, "The key is Mr. Lin, if there is no one to contain him." I am afraid that the situation will soon spiral out of control, and even the last thing we want to see happens. ”

"I understand, just". Pei Chengshu suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I talked to Yuan about the last time. Yuan raised the question of what we could get after we came up with a solution to the Kurdish problem"

"Yuan asked directly?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "I added another sentence later, saying whether we can achieve our goal." ”

"How did you answer?"

"There was no answer, or no positive answer." Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "We must have a purpose in meddling in the Kurdish issue, but this is not a question that soldiers should discuss."

"Do you still feel like you're just a soldier?"

Pei Chengyi's brows jumped a few times, and he didn't rush to speak.

"Let me tell you this, you've been in the physics experiment center long enough, and I've sent someone to send your personal belongings back to Beijing. In the future, you don't have to go to the northwest to endure hardships, tear book bar, dump the concave coffee factory, Xia Chop, Xia more

"That's a good thing."

"Of course, don't want to stay with your wife and children all day long, the army's food and salary are not in vain." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "If nothing else, this time next year, you will become the Minister of Defense of the Republic, and you will be the first Minister of Defense since Zhao Lao has not taken off his military uniform." ”

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment and said, "This is Yuan's arrangement?."

"What do you say?"

Hearing Li Cunxun's ambiguous answer, Pei Chengyi suddenly understood.

There is no doubt that this is definitely not Gu Weimin's arrangement.

Everyone knows that Gu Weimin was promoted by Zhao Rundong, and Zhao Rundong was the Minister of Defense of the Republic before he became the head of the country. When Gu Weimin stepped onto the political stage of the republic, he was also the Minister of National Defense. From this, it can be seen that the Ministry of Defense is the "Zhao Department." Official's base. It is precisely because of this that after Wang Yuanqing came to power, he arranged for Gu Weimin to be the premier of the State Council on the one hand, and let Ye Zhisheng go to the Ministry of National Defense on the other hand, and his fundamental purpose was to uproot this base area. The problem is that Wang Yuanqing has not done it thoroughly enough, or there is no way to do it thoroughly. The main thing is that during his administration, the republic fought two large-scale regional wars, which led to the overstrength of the General Staff, which made the Ministry of Defense insignificant. It is precisely because of this that Ye Zhisheng will concurrently serve as defense minister in the capacity of executive vice premier in Wang Yuanqing's second term. After Gu Weimin came to power, he served as director of the General Office of the State Council when Gu Weimin was the Minister of National Defense, and when Gu Weimin was the chairman of the National Council when he was the chairman of the National Defense Committee, he served as the chairman of the National Defense Military Committee in the capacity of a deputy. Speaking from facts, Shuai Yongkang's resignation as defense minister is very good, and he not only actively promotes the third military reform, but also increases the size of the Ministry of National Defense by taking charge of military spending. In a sense, Shuai Yongkang is very similar to Gu Weimin back then.

It can be seen that Gu Weimin has no reason to let Pei Chengyi go to the Ministry of Defense.

What's more, when Gu Weimin was supporting Shuai Yongkang, he was still trying to win over Lin Xiaolei. It can be said that Shuai Yongkang's active promotion of the third military reform at the head of the old defense minister is to show goodwill to Lin Xiaolei. The three military reforms were dominated by the General Staff, not the Ministry of Defense.

In this way, Gu Weimin has no reason to let Pei Chengyi become the Minister of Defense.

In other words, it must be Yan Jingyu who wants Pei Chengyi to enter the Ministry of Defense.

Think about it for a moment. Pei Chengyi confirmed this speculation.

Although Pei Chengyi is not the "minister who takes care of his life" arranged by Wang Yuanqing, strictly speaking, only Li Cunxun was specially arranged by Wang Yuanqing, but Pei Chengyi must be led by Li Cunxun and support Yan Jingyu's military and political group. In other words, in terms of basic political positions, Pei Chengyi has no other choice. Let's be direct. Even if Pei Chengyi is blind, Li Cunxun can make him ruined overnight. There is no doubt that this is the true face of political struggle. Fortunately, Pei Chengyi is not only not a short-sighted man, nor is he an ordinary soldier.

There is no doubt that Li Cunxun and Yan Jingyu both know that Pei Chengyi is very politically minded.

For Yan Jingyu, there are many benefits to pushing Bae Chengyi to the position of defense minister. The first is to let Pei Chengyi capture the base of the "Zhao family" officials, and even expand the Ministry of Defense into Yan Jingyu's territory. The second is to contain Lin Xiaolei through Pei Chengyi, who is the Minister of National Defense, so that Lin Xiaolei will not go too far. The third is to lay the foundation for Yan Jingyu's smooth succession in the fifth year, that is, to dispel any unrealistic ideas of Gu Weimin.

These three points alone are enough for Yan Jingyu and Li Cunxun to make the greatest efforts.

When I think of this. Pei Chengyi also believes that Yan Jingyu will not rush to power next year. Of course, the main reason is not the unwritten rule that each Yuan has been in power for two consecutive terms, but the current situation is not conducive to Yan Jing's coming to power, to be precise, Yan Jingyu does not need to rush to clean up

Bureau. The tear book bar is less than the concave factory, Dong Chop, Dong more

After calming down. Pei Chengyi had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When talking to Gu Weimin, Gu Weimin also hinted at Pei Chengyi that as long as he behaves well, he will have the opportunity to become the Minister of Defense. At that time, Pei Chengyi didn't take Gu Weimin's hint seriously, thinking that it was just Gu Weimin testing him. Now that he has figured out the reason, Pei Chengyi has to believe that Gu Weimin is a politician who knows how to play tricks. If Li Cunxun hadn't revealed the truth, I'm afraid that on the day Pei Chengyi became Minister of Defense, he would be grateful to Gu Weimin. Of course, Gu Weimin probably expected that Li Cunxun would have a showdown with Pei Chengyi, so he only hinted at Pei Chengyi, and did not use the matter of becoming the Minister of Defense as a political bargaining chip. In other words, this does not show how noble Gu Weimin is, but shows that on some key issues, Gu Weimin still lacks the bearing of a commander. In Pei Chengyi's opinion, if it were Wang Yuanqing, he would definitely make a big stroke of the pen and determine this matter first, instead of using it to give people a cage.

"Things for next year. We'll talk about it next year. Li Cunxun pulled the topic back and said, "In fact, the question of Yuan is very level, that is, how to realize our interests. No matter what we do and how we do it, if we fail to realize our national interests, we will be in vain. ”

"That's what I'm thinking about, too."

Li Cunxun smiled and said: "In the final analysis, if we want to realize our national interests, we must replace the United States in the Middle East." To do that, we have to take advantage of the Kurdish problem. The problem is that it is not the Kurdish issue that determines the situation in the Middle East, but the Arab-Israeli contradictions. If we fail to confront the Arab-Israeli contradictions and find a suitable solution, we will never be able to replace the United States. ”

"Pull on Israel. The options we have are very limited. ”

Li Cunxun nodded. "Let's look at it differently and how we can use the Middle East to achieve our national interests after we replace the United States," he said. We all know that the key to the United States' use of the Middle East is Israel. Although we can make a fuss about Iran and use the contradictions between Iran and Arab countries to create conflicts, so as to create reasons for us to stay. But we must admit that Iran is not Israel, the contradictions with the Arab countries are not prominent, and Iran's position is not very ideal. Overall, there is no country that can replace Israel for the time being. That is, if Israel is finished. There is a good chance that the Arabs will huddle together, and everything we are doing now will be meaningless. In this way, even if we replace the United States, we will continue to use Israel. There is no doubt that this is almost impossible. Not to say that Israel will take refuge in us for the time being, the national issue alone is enough to make us defeated

That is to say. We have to make a country similar to Israel? ”

Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and said, "Is this possible?" ”

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, knowing that there was not much point in starting out.

"We want to do that too, but the problem is, it's not possible." Li Cunxun sighed and said, "Therefore, when dealing with the Middle East issue, we must retreat to the second best. ”

"What do you mean?" Pei Chengyi immediately asked.

"If we can't realize our interests, we need to make our opponents pay the maximum price while trying to control our losses." Li Cunxun sneered and said. "Although in the era of the global village, we want to advocate a win-win situation, but in the struggle between the two major powers, many times, the loss of the opponent is our gain."

Li Cunxun's words were completely expected by Pei Chengyi, so they did not surprise Pei Chengyi.
