Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 46 The Lobbyist

High-level contacts in the United States are not secret, and the news media did it on the same day~

All of a sudden, the world pinned its hopes on the United States, believing that the United States was capable of resolving the Japanese nuclear issue through diplomatic means...... Unfortunately, just a few hours later, at 8:30 a.m. ET on January 20, the U.S. State Department issued a statement that shattered all hopes.

High-level consultations between the United States and Japan failed to reach any consensus.

On 0/211, Nako left the United Nations and returned to Japan.

The next day, Leslie departed from Washington on a special plane for an official diplomatic visit to South Korea.

As if to deliberately create tensions, Leslie's plane had not yet landed at Seoul International Airport, and Japan conducted its second underground nuclear test on the home island of the Kogihara archipelago.

It's still a ~ bomb with a yield of more than 20,000 tons of TNT!

Global public opinion was in an uproar. South Korea urgently adjusted the arrangements for receiving Leslie, and not only did the president personally go to the airport, but also arranged an honor guard of the three armed services on an unprecedented scale.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Rundong held a high-level meeting again.

In addition to stepping up combat readiness patrols of strategic forces, Zhao Rundong arranged for Pang Xinglong to urgently visit the DPRK and meet with the DPRK leaders.

Arguably. The tension in the world is at the extreme.

Almost everyone thinks. The United States is trying to coordinate militarily with China and South Korea. Prepare for a military strike on Japan.

The reality is quite different.

Leslie when she arrives at Seoul International Airport. said to the reporter who came to interview. The main purpose of the visit was to fulfill the US territorial security commitments to South Korea. Ease tensions in Northeast Asia. Park Tae-hyun made it clear in an interview. With the support and assistance of the United States, South Korea will strive to build a strong national defense system. Ensuring the national security of the Republic of Korea. Addressing current and future security threats in Northeast Asia.

There is a big difference in the "tone of mouth" between the two. This shows that the differences between the United States and South Korea are very serious.

Evening. Pang Heung-ryong arrived in Pyongyang. Surprisingly. DPRK leader Kim Chol-nam not only personally greeted the prime minister of the Republic at the airport. Foreign correspondents, including Republican journalists, are also allowed to conduct on-the-spot interviews and reports on the mainland. It is very obvious to "tout" the significance of Pang Xinglong's visit to Pyongyang.

Although Kim Chol-nam did not accept an on-the-spot interview from reporters, Pang Heung-ryong mentioned in response to a reporter's question that the Republic of China will not only earnestly fulfill the "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" signed with the DPRK, but will also make every effort to resolve the crisis in Northeast Asia and fulfill its duties and obligations as a major country.

The high-level visits of the United States and the Republic of Korea to the ROK and the DPRK on the same day could not have been clearer.

China and the United States certainly did not agree on what to do in response to Japan's nuclear issue, and both countries made a "secondary choice." The United States has seized on South Korea and strived to build it into a "bridgehead" for the United States in Northeast Asia. The Republic strengthens relations with the DPRK and strengthens the Northeast Defense Line.

The great power game has triumphed over regional stability.

As a "bystander", Wang Yuanqing sighed in his heart. Although he remained in the central government, Wang Yuanqing's position at the decision-making level was not affirmed and recognized. As Ji Youguo's protΓ©gΓ©, Wang Yuanqing is very clear about the situation in the central government. As the two most influential people in the Republic, Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang have completely different opinions; Pang Xinglong, who was supposed to play a balancing role, was not offended on both sides, and was a good man everywhere. No matter what the result is, if Wang Yuanqing and Gu Weimin continue to fight, it will lead to the intensification of the contradiction between Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang and produce unstable factors.

If Wang Yuanqing really chooses, he would rather return to Guangxi.

Returning to the Central Committee too soon could only make Wang Yuanqing the focus of the struggle. In the case that Ji Youguo does not want to exert influence, even if Peng Maobang fully supports Wang Yuanqing, the result will not be much better. Because Peng Maobang will retire next year, Zhao Rundong will do it for another term. With Peng Maobang leaving, who else will support Wang Yuanqing?

The problem is that Wang Yuanqing can't leave if he wants to.

In the past few days, Wang Yuanqing thought of a lot of ways, and even asked Ye Zhisheng to find an excuse to let him return to Nanning, but it didn't work, not only Zhao Rundong didn't let him go, but even Pang Xinglong insisted on letting him stay.

No matter what Zhao Rundong and Pang Xinglong thought, Wang Yuanqing didn't dare to hope for it.

Power can change people, and a few years can change people dramatically.

On the evening of the 22nd, Wang Yuanqing had just talked to Ye Zhisheng on the phone and asked Ye Zhisheng to do something "something" in Guangxi, so that he could find an excuse to go back, and a mysterious guest came to the hotel where Wang Yuanqing was staying.

When he saw Pan Yunsheng, Wang Yuanqing was startled.

"Old Pan, you ...... You're not ......."

"Think I'm dead?" Pan Yunsheng smiled and let the agent leave the room. "Don't worry, what you see is not a ghost, I'm still alive and well."

Wang Yuanqing came back to his senses and smiled bitterly.

"I should have told you about this earlier, but you weren't the leader of the decision-making level at that time." Pan Yunsheng sat down and said, "There's no fuss, for the sake of national interests, I have already been blown up in Bangkok." ”

Wang Yuanqing nodded and took out a cigarette.

"I don't smoke, I just quit a few days ago." Pan Yunsheng shook his hand and said, "Do you know the reason why I came to you?" ”

Wang Yuanqing lit a cigarette and didn't say anything.

Lao Peng said, you have been making trouble going back to Guangxi during this time. ”

"What's the point of staying?" Wang Yuanqing asked rhetorically, knowing that Pan Yunsheng and Peng Maobang were all the way, and said, "Old Pan, you know the situation of the central government better than me. Mr. Peng will retire sooner or later, and you will live a quiet life. I am also satisfied that we can do a good job in Guangxi's pilot work. ”

"Really?" Pan Yunsheng smiled and said, "In my opinion, this is not your ideal. ”

Wang Yuanqing smiled and didn't answer.

"I remember when you left Beijing four years ago, whether it was Lao Ji, or me and Lao Peng, they all thought that you were a plastic talent and had the ability to shoulder heavy responsibilities." Pan Yunchang sighed and said, "Maybe you will say that people will change. But I believe that the real sleeve will only get stronger and stronger. ”

Wang Yuanqing took two puffs of cigarette and still did not answer.

"Do you know what's going on lately?"

"Japan's nuclear test?"

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "I can clearly say that we will not take any action in the near future, and the same is true for the United States." As long as our contradictions with the United States are not resolved, no one will be able to stop Japan. Although you have been working in the local area for a few years, I am sure that you should know what the consequences are. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly and said, "If this is the case, a full-scale war will break out between us and Japan in a few years." ”

Pan Yunsheng nodded and said, "War is inevitable, it's just a matter of when to hit the ground." We are preparing for war, and Japan is preparing for war. Any idea why I should go to Bangkok? Because our national defense system lacks several extremely critical technologies, we are forced to make secret deals with the United States. Although we have achieved our goal, and the first phase of the construction of the national strategic defence system will be completed within three years, weapons are only tools of war, and it is the people, the soldiers, the workers, the peasants, and the leaders of the country who decide the victory or defeat of the war. ”

"I believe that the FΓΌhrer is capable enough to lead us to victory."

"Indeed, Lao Zhao's ability is beyond doubt, and it was proven two years ago. The problem is ......" Pan Yunsheng hesitated, sighed, and said, "In the past two years, Lao Zhao's physical condition has been deteriorating. ”

Wang Yuanqing was secretly startled and said, "The health ...... of the FΓΌhrer"

"Pancreatitis." Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly and said, "Although the discovery is very timely, and through the efforts of our best experts, it can be regarded as a narrow escape, but what will happen in the future, no one dares to pack a ticket." According to the expert's instructions, Lao Zhao can't work as hard as before, and has to pay attention to rest. Although there are some things that are difficult to say and cannot be said, you should know that if no one comes out to replace Lao Zhao at the critical moment, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Wang Yuanqing took a long breath, and his expression was much more serious.

"Actually, I should go to Lao Ji for these things." Pan Yunsheng sighed, "The problem is that after Lao Ji left office, he would no longer ask about national affairs. He came back the other day and left after a few hours. ”

"Old Pan......" Wang Yuanqing was late for a moment and said, "Lao Zhao's condition ......"

Pan Yunsheng shook his head and said, "Pang Xinglong will leave office next year, and Lao Zhao means to let Gu Weimin be the premier of the State Council." I can't say much about Gu Weimin's ability, I just think that at the critical moment, he lacks the courage to lead the country through difficulties. Lao Peng will retire next year, and I will help Li Cunxun in the Military Intelligence Bureau at most. To be honest, I wish someone would have stepped up at this time. ”

"But ......"

"Lao Peng and I meant to make you the premier of the State Council, but Lao Zhao proposed to add a vice head of state." Pan Yunsheng sighed and said, "The details have not yet been decided, but I think that whether it is the premier of the State Council or the vice head of state, you should stay." ”

Wang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "If this is the case, I hope to transfer a few people back to the central government." ”

Pan Yunsheng frowned slightly and said, "Ye Zhisheng? ”

"Yes, there are a few other cadres from Guangxi." Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "You know the situation in the central government better than me, if I come back empty-handed, even if you support you behind the scenes, without a few helpers, it will be difficult for me to exert my strength." Of course, there is no need for any special position, and it is not a bad thing to have a few trustworthy people around anyway. ”

Pan Yunsheng thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Lao Zhao about this matter in person." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry anyway." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Anyway, you can't make a decision until next year, right?" ”

Pan Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Wang Yuanqing is indeed a student brought out by Ji Youguo, not only has courage, but also handles relationships very accurately. If Pan Yunsheng is in a hurry to put pressure on Zhao Rundong, it will make Zhao Rundong disgusted, thinking that Wang Yuanqing is playing tricks behind the scenes. When the term is changed next year, the central authorities need to promote personnel to fill the vacancies, and when the time comes, the problem will be much simpler.

Damn it**
