The meal was a bit simple and the atmosphere was a bit tense

From sitting at the table, Huang Guowei, who is good at observing words and feelings, buried his head in eating, like a victim fleeing the famine

Peng Maobang drank a few glasses of wine, and after understanding Ji Youguo's thoughts, he didn't even move his chopsticks When Wang Yuanqing brought someone to clean up the table, there were more than a dozen cigarette butts in the ashtray in front of the chief of the general staff

Ji Youguo had a good appetite, ate two large bowls of dry rice, and drank a bowl of sauerkraut and radish soup

"Xiao Wang, go and make three cups of snow lotus tea from Xiao Ji" Ji Youguo smiled, and said to Peng Maobang, "This snow lotus tea is a good thing, it clears heat and fires, and can also cure constipation, if it wasn't brought back by Xiao Jito, we wouldn't have such a good mouth."

Peng Maobang held his stomach in his heart and had nowhere to go, and his expression was very ugly

Huang Guowei snickered and dared to joke with the chief of the General Staff, I'm afraid that Ji Youguo is the only one in the world

Wang Yuanqing is also very "sincere", and honestly brewed three cups of snow lotus tea

"Help me change a cup of green tea" Huang Guowei called the secretary of the head of state, "I have a bad stomach these days, I have been having diarrhea, and I can't stand it"

Wang Yuanqing immediately changed a cup of green tea for the foreign minister

"It's still the foreign minister's heart is wide, and there are not so many bad problems on us," Ji Youguo picked up a cigarette and lit Peng Maobang first, "Lao Peng, it's not that I said that you were in a hurry, vigorous and resolute, dare to do things, no one said anything about you, and still think that you are an excellent soldier, and now you are the commander of the General Staff, and as the commander of the army, many tempers have to be changed."

"Old Ji, you don't know what kind of person I am," Peng Maobang sighed, "I'm just a soldier, thirty years ago, I went into battle with a rifle to kill the enemy, and now I can't go to the battlefield, I can also command the troops to fight, and I can't change my stinky temper in this life."

Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile and asked, "What are the duties of a soldier?" ”

Peng Maobang was stunned for a moment and said: "Protecting the family and defending the country is the fundamental duty of soldiers"

"Yes, how can we defend our family and country?" Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "If the war can solve all problems, do you still need a diplomat like Huang Guowei?" You've been a soldier for decades, you've been through several wars, and you've seen how armies of other countries fight, tell me, can war solve all problems? ”

Peng Maobang couldn't answer the question of Ji Youguo's land at all

"I have never been a soldier, I have not systematically studied military science, and I don't know much about military theory, but I know that modern warfare is not only about the combat effectiveness of the army, but also about the country's comprehensive national strength, especially the economic strength and scientific and technological strength, regardless of how much money the United States spent in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, the fourth Indo-Pakistani war, which lasted for half a month, took less than 30 hours to participate in the war, and the direct military expenditure was more than 30 billion, counting the aid to Pakistan. With a total cost of more than 70 billion, can we afford such a war without the backing of strong economic strength? ”

"You're right, but ......"

"It's good to understand," Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I know that General Peng is not an unreasonable person, I told you before that against a country like Japan, it is difficult for a military strike to achieve remarkable results, but it will produce counterproductive results In the morning, I flipped through the book called "Unrestricted Warfare", and many of the arguments in it made sense Since the US military established the Cyber Operations Command a few years ago, in just a few years, dozens of countries have established relevant or similar military departments. We have strengthened the army's unconventional combat capability, and the art of war is the way to go up without a fight, and although we have not yet been able to reach this realm, we must always try new tactics and new theories, and we must not cling to the old ways and keep to the old ones, and the military reform we are promoting must not only establish a more rational military system, but also provide an environment for the growth of new military theories; only by making great progress in theory can we fundamentally bring into play the potential of new weapons and point out the direction for the development of military technology. How to convince millions of soldiers? ”

After some words, Peng Maobang was completely speechless

Huang Guowei secretly applauded the Führer's "truth" on the side, which not only combined the theoretical basis, but also revealed the actual situation, not to mention that Peng Maobang was just a soldier who was not very eloquent, even if he was a diplomat with outstanding eloquence, he could not refute Ji Youguo's views

"I said, our chief of general staff can't let go, and he is unwilling to be a supporting role," Ji Youguo smiled, and then said, "On this big stage, each of us is a supporting role for the rejuvenation of the nation, and we must be willing to be a supporting role. ”

Peng Maobang took a few puffs of cigarette, let out a long breath, and said: "Old Ji, you shouldn't be the head of state"

"Really? So what do I do? ”

"TV host" Peng Maobang also laughed, "I have never admired others in my life, and the only one who can convince me is you"

"That's serious," Ji Youguo laughed happily

"Now, I'm not convinced, but I have to be convinced" Peng Maobang lit another cigarette, "You're right, it's much better to play a supporting role than to play a show."

"Lao Peng, I'm not joking with you" Ji Youguo suppressed his smile, "This operation is related to the pattern of the Western Pacific region in the next ten or even twenty years, our surrounding environment will be significantly improved, and it is even expected that the Taiwan issue will be resolved peacefully, and we will face a difficult situation in which we will be embattled, and national rejuvenation will become far away."

Peng Maobang's brows immediately locked together

Huang Guowei was also secretly surprised, feeling that the Führer's words were too serious

"When I say this, I am not alarmist, forcing you to support my decision" Ji Youguo saw the thoughts of the two, "Although after the Democratic Party came to power, our relations with Japan have eased somewhat, but what has happened in the past seven years proves that the Democratic Party has not been able to free Japan from the influence of the United States, and the 'US-Japan alliance' is still Japan's fundamental policy, and the conflict in the East China Sea can be big or small, no matter what the result is, the Democratic Party will lose next year's general election, and it will not necessarily be the Liberal Democratic Party that will come to power at that time, but it is likely to be a coalition of right-wing political parties."

"Maybe it's going to be even worse," Huang Guowei couldn't help but interject

Ji Youguo nodded slightly, and said: "Our grudges with Japan have not been resolved, whether it is the right-wing alliance coming to power, or other situations happen, our relations with Japan will deteriorate sharply, the reform of the republic has reached a critical point, whether with the United States, or with Japan, an all-out confrontation will make our reform lose its original flavor According to the reform blueprint, we still need three to four five-year plans to complete the reform, so that the republic can become a world power If you want to get this time, in addition to promoting the international situation' In addition to containing the United States, we must also defeat Japan and eliminate the threats around us."

"That would require an all-out war," Peng muttered

"We can't afford a full-scale war, so we can only retreat to the next best thing, so that Japan will not be able to pose a threat to us for 15 to 20 years" Ji Youguo did not change the topic, and continued, "This is why I want to focus on hitting the Japanese economy, a long-term recession is enough to set Japan back by decades, and when we complete the reform and establish a more perfect national system, it is not too late to deal with Japan, what we can do and must do is to create a more ideal development environment for future generations. Laying the foundation for national rejuvenation may not see the day when the Chinese nation will regain the majesty of the Han and Tang dynasties in our lifetime, but I believe that as long as each generation of Yan and Huang descendants remember the shame of a hundred years ago and strive for self-improvement, the Chinese nation will embark on the great road of rejuvenation starting from our generation."

"Everything we do is worthy of our ancestors and ancestors, and worthy of our children and grandchildren," Peng Maobang's emotions were excited, "A hundred years ago, the Chinese nation did not perish under the iron heel of the enemy, and now, the Chinese nation will not fall under the encirclement and suppression of the great powers, and one day, the whole world will know that a nation that has lived and multiplied for 5,000 years is by no means a second-class nation, but the best nation!" ”

"This requires our selfless dedication even more"

Peng Maobang nodded, "I figured it out, it doesn't matter if it's a supporting role, as long as you can play an important role, even if you play a trick, it's no problem."

Ji Youguo smiled and said, "Playing tricks, it won't be our turn to be the chief of the general staff."

"You can't say that, the roles of each character are different, and playing tricks can be regarded as actors!"

"If Lao Peng can figure it out, I will have no worries"

After chatting for a while, Wang Yuanqing took Zhao Rundong and Pan Yunsheng to the study

"I'll just say, Lao Peng is not in the General Staff, he must have come here to improve the food" Seeing that the Führer and the Chief of the General Staff were talking and laughing, and the Foreign Minister was also full of spring breeze, Pan Yunsheng made a joke unscrupulously

"What improves food? I haven't had enough for dinner yet! Peng Maobang, who was excited, didn't care so much

"It's easy to say that I haven't eaten enough, is it possible that I still let the chief of the General Staff hold a meeting hungry?" Ji Youguo called Wang Yuanqing over, "Let the kitchen prepare a few stir-fries, and the wine will be gone."

"How can I do without alcohol?"

"Then have a few bottles of beer" Ji Youguo didn't talk to Peng Maobang, and instructed Wang Yuanqing, "Prepare some other pastries and fruits, and make a few cups of tea again, it doesn't matter, don't let people disturb us"

Not long after, Wang Yuanqing brought someone to bring the food over

When Peng Maobang was busy appeasing the internal organs of the imminent rebellion, Ji Youguo briefed Zhao Rundong on the situation and explained his basic ideas

As Ji Youguo expected, Zhao Rundong did not oppose the strategic decision of focusing on economic shocks

The remaining question is how to combine a military strike with an economic strike

Damn it*
