Chapter 52: A false alarm
While President Yari was busy revising the national strategy, Wang Yuanqing was working on the idea of "recovering the mountains." [No pop-up novel network]
Although Wang Yuanqing firmly opposes the secret interrogation of suspected rebels, Wang Yuanqing does not object to the interrogation of suspects in accordance with judicial procedures. Nominally, the interrogation work is the responsibility of the Judicial Committee of the Plenum led by Gu Weimin, but in reality the work is carried out by the Military Intelligence Bureau. The prerequisite, of course, that all interrogations take place in the presence of the Judicial Council and specially arranged lawyers.
Torture could not be used and did not cause much trouble to the interrogation.
The suspects involved in the rebellion are "smart people" who know what will happen when they are taken into a helicopter or stuffed into a car by special forces. Not all of the suspects involved in the rebellion are intent on antagonizing the state, and at least some of the "accomplices" do not want to bring down the country, let alone lose their lives. In the choice of "resisting strictly, confessing leniently", the vast majority of "accomplices" chose the latter.
It is much less difficult to obtain the "confession" of the "accomplice" and then interrogate the "principal offender" alone.
In order to find out the ins and outs of the traitorous clique as soon as possible, Li Cunxun personally presided over the interrogation.
The Military Intelligence Bureau arranged for dozens of high-ranking agents and high-ranking spies who were good at "persuasion" to participate in the interrogation, while Li Cunxun personally "entertained" the most important "principal culprits." Of course, Li Cunxun did not forget that during the "psychological warfare" interrogation, the interrogators not only "openly and honestly" announced the methods of dealing with the traitors, but also asked the lawyers and committee members appointed by Gu Weimin to explain the relevant laws to the suspects, so that the suspects knew what kind of crimes would be sentenced to death and what kind of charges could be treated leniently.
No one wants to die, and even more so those who plan the rebellion.
If you die, even if the rebellion succeeds, you will not be able to enjoy the benefits of the rebellion.
Mastering this psychology of the suspect, coupled with the solitary interrogation, the trouble is much less.
Within hours, the MIA had completed its interrogation.
At the same time, General Lu Chengwen, commander of the special forces directly under the General Staff Department, commanded the special forces to carry out larger-scale arrest operations throughout the country in accordance with the suspect's "confession." Because the military intelligence bureau and other intelligence agencies took over the customs ahead of schedule, the vast majority of suspects were brought to justice, except for a very small number of traitors who had access to the country and fled through smuggling and other means, and some traitors who also reported a trace of illusion and went into hiding.
Establish a complete chain of evidence, and not be afraid of the suspects who have been arrested one after another.
On the night of the old day, Li Cunxun once again came to the command center under the West Garden of Yuanfu to report the situation to Wang Yuanqing.
"The latest interrogation results, as well as the list of suspects arrested today."
Wang Yuanqing lit a cigarette, then took the two documents handed by Li Cunxun and read them very carefully.
Li Cunxun also lit a cigarette, and he had already guessed what kind of reaction Yuan would have next.
The more you investigate, the more you find out!
"How is that possible!?" Wang Yuanqing raised his head violently and cast a disbelieving gaze at Li Cunxun.
"There is no impossible, only the unexpected." Li Cunxun has been prepared for a long time, "The chain of evidence is very complete, and the facts are conclusive and there is no doubt." ”
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Wang Yuanqing stood up, looking very uneasy.
"I've asked Liu Xiaobin to bring someone over, you can do it at any time"
"No way!" Wang Yuanqing slapped the table.
Li Cunxun was startled and immediately shut up.
"Impossible!" Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and calmed down a lot, "If you think about it carefully, if that's the case, can I still stay here?" ”
"That's the biggest suspicion, so I didn't take action before that."
Wang Yuanqing sat down, extinguished the cigarette butt, and picked up another cigarette.
It's just that Li Cunxun glanced at Yuan and said, "Although I don't want to believe that the chairman of the committee is related to the rebellion, the evidence we have, as well as the confession of the suspect, is very unfavorable to the chairman of the committee." In addition, "
Seeing that Li Cunxun didn't continue, Wang Yuanqing raised his head and said, "What else?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just my feelings, not proof."
"What does it feel?" Wang Yuanqing asked.
"Yesterday, the chairman's mood was a little abnormal, and he asked me a lot of questions, I think..."
"I've asked you a lot of questions, is there a problem?"
Li Cunxun smiled bitterly and did not refute Wang Yuanqing's words.
"You also know that the counterinsurgency operation was formulated by me and the chairman, if Lao Gu participates in the treasonous action, is it possible for us to eradicate the traitorous group in one fell swoop?"
Li Cunxun nodded, indicating that he was also thinking about this issue.
"As a direct participant in counterinsurgency operations, it's not surprising that I ask more questions." Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and said, "According to Ji Ge, he will give me a lot of orders during the transition period, and if you can't fully grasp the situation, it will be impossible to make accurate decisions." If it were me, I would have asked you a lot of questions yesterday as well. ”
"I understand, it's just the evidence we have
"First. Ren Han had a motive to participate in the rebellion. If the traitorous group wins. "We all know that the purpose of the traitorous clique is not only to kill me, but to bring down the entire regime. As the No. 2 leader of the country, even if he can survive by luck, he will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the traitorous group. If the treason fails, he will lose everything if the traitor is caught. With Lao Gu's political consciousness, it is impossible not to understand such a simple truth."
"That's the biggest question
"Without motive, the assumption that Lao Gu participated in the rebellion is not valid
"However, the facts are in front of us: 13 of the 14 provincial-level officials and eight generals arrested today have close ties with the chairman, and five of them were promoted and promoted when the chairman was defense minister, and then sent to local areas during the chairman's tenure as prime minister
"Suo Xianglong was promoted during Ji Lao's administration, could it be that Ji Lao is also suspicious?"
Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment and said: "The relationship is only one thing, the confession of these people" made it very clear that after the rebellion succeeded, they would support the chairman of the committee as the head of the country. If the chairman of the committee did not participate in the treason, why should the traitors support him? ”
"Why?" This time it was Wang Yuanqing's turn to be stunned.
"That's what worries me the most
"No, there is a problem with your thinking Wang Yuanqing's reaction is very fast, the "suspect's" confession is not false, but we should look at it from a different angle. ”
Li Cunxun frowned, not quite understanding what Yuan meant.
"We already know the purpose of the traitorous group, and what will you do if you stand on the side of the traitorous group?"
"Me?"
Wang Yuanqing nodded, without waiting for Li Cunxun to speak, and said: "Let's put it this way, if it were me, I would kill the national yuan first, and only by killing the national yuan can the political situation be turbulent." If the traitorous group comes to power at this time, it will be the army that will not agree first. With Xiang Linghui's character, he will definitely immediately dispatch special forces to eradicate all traitors. In this way, the traitorous group needs someone to deal with Xiang Linghui. Obviously, none of the suspects are qualified. The only person who has the ability to deal with Xiang Linghui is the legal No. 2 leader of the country, that is, Lao Gu. Fundamentally speaking, Lao Gu's character is too soft, and he may not be willing to use thunderous means to deal with the traitorous group, and he will not allow Xiang Linghui to mobilize the army. As long as Lao Gu has a conflict with Xiang Linghui, the traitorous clique can take the opportunity to remove Xiang Linghui from his post as chief of the general staff and eliminate the biggest threat.
Only then will the traitorous clique attack the Chairman of the National People's Congress, the Premier of the State Council, the Minister of National Defense, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and you, the Director of Military Intelligence, to fundamentally change the regime of our country and justifiably bring a certain spokesman to power. ”
"Are you saying that the chairman is only a target of the traitorous group?
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "That's definitely the case, the chairman is just the target of the traitorous group." It may seem hard to believe, but you have to understand that this is not a simple act of treason, but a treason act that was planned and promoted by Four behind the scenes. With the ability and experience of the fourth, if you can't even think of this little means, will you still have the ability to carry out subversive actions in our country?"
Li Cunxun frowned slightly.
"In other words, if you had to do the same thing with the CIA, would you do the same?"
Li Cunxun pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "That's true, we will do the same."
That's right, Wang Yuanqing smiled, and his spirit relaxed a lot. Think about it again, with Lao Gu's character, will he do things that are harmful to the country? If he has problems, not only will I be mainly responsible, but also the sarcasm of Ji Lao, Zhao Lao and others. ”
Li Cunxun's brows jumped a few times, and he heard another meaning of Wang Yuanqing's words.
Obviously, Ji Jieguo, Zhao Rundong, Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng suddenly returned to the capital before the rebellion, not on a whim, let alone as expected, but because they received Wang Yuanqing's request. In other words, these leaders of the older generation came back to control the overall situation according to Wang Yuanqing's intentions.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxun immediately considered another issue.
If this is the case, does Wang Yuanqing really have no precautions against Gu Weimin?
If Wang Yuanqing had not been wary of Gu Weimin and had made arrangements to quell the rebellion, there would be no need for Ji Youguo and the others to return to the capital.
Obviously, Wang Yuanqing took precautions, but it was not aimed at Gu Weimin's participation in treason.
From Wang Yuanqing's standpoint, there is only one thing to guard against, that is, after his assassination, that is, during the period when Gu Weimin was in power, Gu Weimin could not pose a threat to him.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxun also suddenly became enlightened.
From the very beginning, Wang Yuanqing not only grasped the entire situation, but also took into account every step and every situation.
With such amazing planning ability, such a first-class strategic vision, and such admirable courage, not to mention those stupid traitors, I am afraid that even Ji Yiguo and Zhao Rundong may not be able to defeat Wang Yuanqing.
