※After the face-to-face exchange of Yiya, Pei Chengyi stayed in Cape for a few years, and attended several meetings as a special assistant to Xin'erri, mainly discussing some defense and security topics with officials from Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, and other countries closely related to the Republic, mainly officials from the Ministry of National Defense. [No pop-up novel network]

On April, Pei Chengyi boarded a special plane and left Cape Town with Gu Weimin.

When I met Li Cunxun. Pei Chengyi suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Li Cunxun in the past few days, and what he wanted to know most was where Li Cunxun had gone in the past few days.

"That's what you told Dudgway?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and repeated the content of the conversation with Du Qiwei.

Li Cunxun looked thoughtful, picked up the teacup and thought for a while. Only then did he speak: "Think about it, when you talk to Du Qiwei about these things, is there anything unusual about him, such as his mannerisms, language, etc. ”

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, feeling that Li Cunxun was a little abnormal.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "In the past few days, we have been trying to figure out the quiet situation in the United States. Maybe you won't believe it, but you have to

"Believe what?" Pei Chengyi knew that Li Cunxun had goods in his stomach.

Li Cunxun smiled and said, "It's completely contrary to our previous judgment. Dudgway's position in the Landes government was not high. The relationship with Landers is not very good. ”

"Yes?"

"Of course." Li Cunxun put down the teacup and said, "You know, as early as a few years ago, I was planning to retire, but the situation did not allow it, so I had to work for another five years." Since last year, Xiao Liu has been in charge of the specific affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and general things are not the best heart, so what was sent to me must have received confirmed information, at least a more reliable situation

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid Du Qiwei is not only conveying information for the U.S. government." ”

"That's why I'm asking you."

Pei Chengyi raised his head and cast an inquiring glance at Li Cunxun.

"There's nothing to be surprised about, it's a good way out, but in any case, the Dudge Festival will do his best to fulfill the mission given to him by the state. Other words. At the time of his conversation, Duchway had already conveyed the message of the US authorities, that the US authorities would not abandon Israel, no matter what the situation might be. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that he understood what Li Cunxun meant.

"Obviously, that's not the point." Li Cunxun knocked on the table, thought for a moment, and said, "Just as we sent you to meet with Du Qiwei, the US authorities sent Du Qiwei to meet with you, and it was a message that was different from what Du Qiwei told you with his mouth. The tear book bar throws off the concave factory and tells less, and there are many in it

"You mean..."

"We don't expect anything for peace, will the American authorities hope for peace?"

Pei Chengyi's brows jumped a few times, and he said, "In that case, why let Du Qiwei do it?"

"It seems, I don't need to say you've thought of it." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "Although Landers was rated by the American news media as the president with the lowest IQ of this century, there are several powerful characters around him, such as Mrs. Loeblin, who is in charge of the State Department. When Randers was elected, we concluded that he had been put in power by the interests that controlled the United States behind the scenes. Only a relatively weak-sighted president can allow interest groups to control the US federal government through the people around the president, plus a Congress that serves interest groups, so as to completely control US domestic and foreign policy. ”

"In other words, just because Landers can't deal with Duchway doesn't mean that others can't deal with Dudgway."

"Dealing with Duchway is a secondary matter, and in fact, there is no need for the US authorities to deal with Duchway." Li Cunxun let out a long sigh and said, "According to the information we already have, this is likely to be a very shrewd trap. ”

"A shrewd trap?" Pei Chengyi asked in particular.

Kenxian, we must admit that Du Qiwei was not only a very ambitious man, but also a very ideal soldier. Li Cunxun paused and said, "Of course, now he is also a politician." Given his experience and background, there is plenty of reason to believe that Duchway is ambitious. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "There is indeed such a possibility, after all, he is a soldier first, and then a politician." ”

In other words, Duchway serves the United States, not American interest groups

"Well, he threatens not only us, but also American interest groups."

"Strictly speaking, if he really serves the United States, there is no threat to us." Li Cunxun smiled. "At least in the short term, Duchway is no threat to us, because he knows that there must be no conflict with us." In fact, since he stepped onto the American political scene, everything he has done has been to avoid conflict with us, from Japan to India to the South Atlantic. ”

Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and understood the meaning of Li Cunxun's words very well.

"Do you know what I used to do?"

Li Cunxun abruptly changed the subject. Pei Chengyi was very surprised.

"Of course, before I became the director of the MIA, I was a spy for the MIA, and it wasn't me who bragged, at that time, I was the most powerful spy in the MIA." Li Cunxun smiled, and said, "Of course." You won't know. What made me the old yours of the CIA was two operations. One is related to the Yanhuang Project, and the other is to help Lin Yanbo's family return to the Republic. Of course, what you won't believe even more is that it was during this operation that I caught the deputy director of operations of Four, and through him obtained some of Four's top-secret information. In the end, you still won't believe that among these top-secret materials is a detailed document of several secret assassinations by Si Seiya

Pei Chengyi's brows were locked together, and he didn't know why Li Cunxun wanted to mention these things.

"Do you know how Kennedy died?"

"This"

"Ambitionally. Kennedy may well be the fifth-highest president in American history after Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Franklin Roosevelt, and his greatest ideal was to tame the financial capitalists of Wall Street. Li Cunxun knocked on the table and said. Admittedly, Dudgway is also very ambitious, and if he can become president of the United States, he is likely to become Kenny

That is to say. He would be the second Kennedy. ”

"Of course not, for the United States, one Kenny side is enough. What's more, this is not what it used to be. If Dudgway had been in the White House in twenty years, he would have been Kennedy, but not at the guns of the Assassins. Li Cunxun smiled. Said. "In any case, there will not be people in the United States who are marching in the streets all day long to demand that the American GIs sent into the jungle be sent back." The tearful book bar dumped the concave Qing factory to report less, and there were many nightmares

"You are"

"You started by saying that Dudgway is already a threat to American interests, so what's the best way to remove the threat?"

"Of course" but" Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment, and did not spit out the words that came to his lips.

"It seems. You've thought of it. Li Cunxun smiled and said, "Since we can't deal with Du Qiwei in the same way as Kennedy, then the US interest groups can only think of other ways." More importantly, we are not the former Soviet Union, and in this Cold War, the United States will definitely pay a huge price if it wants to have the last laugh. That is, for the foreseeable future, both the United States and its interest groups will need a commander like Dudgway. Neither slaughtered nor discarded, the only way for American interests is to tie a rope around the lion king's neck. ”

"It's not enough."

"Yes, before that, I have to beat the lion king and make the lion king a watchdog."

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly, feeling that Li Cunxun's words were not only aimed at Du Qiwei.

"The question is. Hunters sometimes become a lion's dinner. ”

"Duchway is not just a lion, he is also a hunter." Pei Chengyi touched his chin and said, "We can see this, as an immersive Du Qiwei, it is impossible not to see it, and even see it more thoroughly than us." What's more, Dudgway is definitely not the kind of person to sit still. ”

That's the key

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and then understood.

"A soldier who can be born and die on the battlefield will never sit still, let alone be captured. In a sense, Dudgway is a warrior, a warrior who never admits defeat and never lets his guard down. We all know that Dudgway chose to retire when he was about to be promoted to Marine Corps general. Then it took several years of study and accumulation, and it was not until the Dokdo conflict between Japan and South Korea that he appeared in public as a quasi-official. In other words, before he stepped into American politics, there was enough time for Li Cunxun to take two sips of tea and said, "What do soldiers often say? Don't fight uncertain battles. Dudgway can plan his future in a few years, and he will be able to see through the political situation in the United States. Even if he couldn't see through it at the time, he should have seen through it before Brancono left the White House. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, expressing his agreement with Li Cunxun's point of view.

"Ironically, it was Brandino who was the first to push Dugway off the cliff." Li Cunxun sighed and said, "Perhaps, this is what makes Du Qiwei a little disheartened." Anyway. By far the decade of assisting Brandino has been Duchway's most accomplished decade. In a sense, he complements Blandino. As a professional soldier, Dudgway must have thought that Blandino was a trustworthy comrade-in-arms, but what he didn't expect was anything. It was this trust that forced him to face such a dangerous situation. "Round reading the most choppy chapter, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete

"You mean,"

"It was Brandino who recommended Dugway to Landes, and it was he who made Dudgway accept Landes' offer

"How could it be. Brandino is a former Democratic president, and Randers is "

"Is there a difference between Democrats and Republicans?"

Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.

"Although I didn't meet Duchway face-to-face, judging from your words, Dudgway not only conveyed the meaning of the US authorities, but also expressed his thoughts in a suggestive way, that is, he did not want to carry the blame." Li Cunxun sat up straight, leaned on the edge of the table, and said to Pei Chengyi, "If Du Qiwei fully represents the US authorities, when you propose a three-month period, he should not only not agree, but also immediately refute it."

Think about it. From the standpoint of the U.S. authorities, can they negotiate with us on Israel's relocation? Not to mention negotiations. You can't even mention it. I bet you that Dudgway will not relay your ultimatum to the U.S. government, but will at most mention the solution we propose. Three months of preparation for negotiations is actually three months of preparation for war. ”

When Li Cunxun said this, Pei Chengyi also figured it out.

Dang Shouwei will definitely not betray the United States, so we should not hold on to the illusion of Yangji. Li Cunxun let out a long breath, leaned against the sand, and said, "It's just that we can take advantage of this." ”

"Wouldn't it be good to have U.S. interests set against Duchway again?"

"A good thing?" Li Cunxun shook his head with a smile and said, "It's definitely not a good thing, the watchdog also has teeth." And it bites people very hard. The best outcome is not for Dudgway to become a lion with a rope on his belt, but a lion without teeth and claws. Of course, it would be best without this lion. Only now it seems that this is very unlikely. Dogs will jump over the wall when they are in a hurry. Not to mention a male lion. ”

"What are you going to do with Dudgway?" Pei Chengyi didn't want to be wordy with Li Cunxun.

"It's not about taking advantage of each other, it's about helping each other."

"Help!?" Pei Chengyi immediately tightened his brows.

"Of course, there is no benefit to have Dudgway join hands with us?" Li Cunxun smiled and said. "The situation is very clear, Du Qiwei does not want to carry the black pot and does not want to give up his ideals, so he has to rely on external forces. Who is responsible for the failure of the United States is not a question that we should be concerned about, what we have to do is to let the United States fail miserably. ”

"The problem is that it contradicts Dudgway's ideals."

"So it's just helping, not cooperating. When the other party is worthless, it is the time to turn the other cheek. ”

"In that case, why help Dudgway?"

"If we don't help Dudgway, how can we get Dudgway to help us, as I said, it's mutual." Li Cunxun smiled and said, "There is an unwritten rule in the intelligence community, that is, equal interests. It's like you captured a couple of my agents today. I'll expel your pounds tomorrow. Diplomat. Anyway, you can't do things that are at a loss. Helping each other with Dudgway is pretty much what it means. Of course, there is another point that we cannot ignore. ”

"What?" Pei Chengyi knew that no one was Li Cunxun's opponent when it came to playing conspiracy.

"I started by saying that the best outcome is that there is no threat. If we do the right thing at the right time, like get some word out there, I'm sure a lot of people will be more than happy to get rid of Duchway for us. ”

Pei Chengyi was taken aback and said: "This" is the principle of reciprocity that you started to talk about.

"The principle of reciprocity applies only to organization-to-organization, not organization-to-person."

"But

But Dudgway was not stupid, and had worked with American intelligence agencies during the war in India. During his tenure as Secretary of Defense, he also managed the Pentagon's intelligence services, so it is impossible not to understand this truth, and he will not fail to be vigilant. Li Cunxun sighed and said. So I started saying that it would be great to get rid of Duchway. We must prepare for the worst and set targets in accordance with the minimum requirements. ”

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "In this way, we'd better be honest." ”

"It's not a question of honesty or dishonesty, to put it bluntly, even if we do, what can Du Qiwei do with us?" Li Cunxun sneered and said. "The key is that we must ensure that this dark cooperation can be effective, and we must convince Duchway that even if the United States tries its best to defend Israel in the face of internal and external troubles, so that Duchway can make a wrong judgment."

"The problem is, Dudgway doesn't have real power."

"Is this the problem?" Li Cunxun shook his head with a smile and said, "After joining the Military Intelligence Agency, in order to go to the fourth to be an undercover spy, I spent five years learning Western culture, especially American culture. After that, I lived in the United States for about 10 years. In American society, there is absolutely no such thing as "unwarranted." When the time comes to use extreme measures, the Americans will be more direct and cheerful. And not playing with conspiracy tricks. Of course, this is not to say that the United States will not play conspiracy tricks. According to the usual method of the Americans. In order to tame Du Qiwei, he first had to make Du Qiwei suffer a big loss. Drive him to the point of desperation, and then appear to him as a god to help him out of his predicament. "The tear book bar throws off the concave factory and tells less, and there are many in it

"In other words, Dudgway will be given a lot of power."

"In our words, the higher you climb, the worse you fall.

Pei Chengyi let out a long breath and nodded, indicating that he understood what Li Cunxun meant.

"There is no doubt that you are the only one who can do this." Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete

"Me?" Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Even if you are right, if we go too far, that is, act too tough, it will definitely backfire." ”

"The question is, is there any other way?"

Pei Chengyi did not speak immediately.

"Let's put it this way, you're the best fit I can think of." Li Cunxun smiled and said. "Except for a few big people who are difficult to come forward, you are the only one who has ever made a mess of Dudgway. There may be other people, such as Lin Xiaolei and Yuan Chenhao, who can deal with Du Qiwei, but we can't take this risk. ”

"The problem is, I don't have a formal military position, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to go, right?"

"You're at least an active-duty army general, and this thing. Your military status will not be used at all. It's really to the point of dancing knives and guns, Yuan Chenhao will not be worse than you. ”

When Li Cunxun said this, Pei Chengyi understood it.

There is no doubt that in the next three months, Pei Chengyi will not want to have a little free time.
