Because I have long seen through the truth. So Pei Chengyi was not very hot Gong Gong from the beginning

Kouyue? In addition to attending the opening ceremony, Pei Chengyi stayed in his hotel room and did not even give up attending the banquet held by the chairman of the African Union for dignitaries of various countries that night.

In fact, Pei Chengyi has never liked to be lively, and he also hates socializing.

More importantly, he had to use all the time to get acquainted with his opponent and read the documents that Li Cunxun had prepared for him to deal with Du Qiwei and Guan.

Strictly speaking, it wasn't until a few years ago that Pei Chengyi regarded Du Qiwei as an opponent.

Although many people do not believe it, in fact, until before the Second Anglo-Argentine War. Pei Chengyi did not regard Du Qiwei as an opponent. Before that, Pei Chengyi thought very simply, he was a republican **, Du Qiwei was a beautiful **, and the two of them were their own masters, and it was a matter of course to fight to the death on the battlefield. When commanding the war in India, Pei Chengyi said to Yuan Chenhao. If Dudgway had not done everything possible to cause trouble for the Republic, he would not have been Dudgway. It can be seen that Pei Chengyi has always been very open-minded. What changed Pei's view was not that Dudgway had acted for the British authorities in the Falklands conflict, but that Dudgway had treated the war in a statesman's way for the first time. It is very important that Pei Chengyi also looked at the war in the way of a politician for the first time at this time. It was this change in identity that made Pei Chengyi change his view of Du Qiwei. If a soldier can laugh at a grudge off the battlefield, then a politician can never laugh at the red dust.

Since Duchway is regarded as an opponent, he has to pay attention to his opponent.

It's a pity that Pei Chengyi is not Du Qiwei, and he can't decide his future as dashing as Du Qiwei, so it is impossible to spend several years studying his opponent.

Don't say a few years. Not for a few days.

In Li Cunxun's words, he only has one day. One night, to be exact. The tearful book bar dumped the concave Qing factory to report less, and there were many nightmares

In the early morning of the 8th, when the secretary in charge of the agenda of the meeting called Pei Chengyi to inform him that he would have his first meeting with the special adviser to the US president in the morning, he was still reading the last document. Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete

Time waits for no one, Pei Chengyi can only bite the bullet.

At 8 o'clock in Cape Town time, Pei Chengyi, accompanied by a secretary of the Yuan government, went to the meeting place: the Mandela Hotel on the north shore of False Bay. The venue is located on the top floor, and the whole floor-to-ceiling window just faces False Bay, and it happens to be the golden autumn festival in South Africa, so Pei Chengyi feels that this place is not suitable for the meeting of representatives of the two major parties, and it is more suitable for a restaurant for couples to have dinner together.

Is Dudgway a military representative of the United States?

Pei Chengyi is not sure, in fact, he is not sure of his identity.

During the day yesterday, at the opening ceremony of the conference, Pei Chengyi thought about what happened the day before yesterday. There are all kinds of signs that neither Li Cunxun nor Gu Weimin have the idea of letting him return to the army, and they both hope that he will do a great job in the government. In a sense, arranging for him to negotiate face-to-face with Du Nianwei, who has long been in politics, is to prepare him for entering the political circles. In other words, from now on, Pei Chengyi can no longer call himself a soldier.

Thankfully, the shift didn't come suddenly. Pei Chengyi can slowly adapt to his new identity.

When the secretary who led the way in front stopped, Pei Chengyi's eyes immediately fell on the middle-aged man who got up from the sand. To be precise, it is a relatively young person who has been exercising for a long time, and his actual age is around the phantom age. Tall, physical, and so on are not outstanding white males.

Duchway?

Not only is his appearance exactly the same as in the photo, but the other party's eyes tell Pei Chengyi that he didn't guess wrong.

"You are General Pei Chengyi?" Du Qiwei took the initiative to meet him, and he took the initiative to extend his right hand.

"General Dudgway?" Pei Chengyi held Du Qiwei's hand, which was very thick and hummed, indicating that he often dealt with firearms when he was young.

Holding Pei Chengyi's hand, Du Qiwei also showed a look of surprise, because Pei Chengyi was not so thick and powerful.

Of course, surprise is also a matter of moments. Du Qiwei has long known that Pei Chengyi was born as a staff officer, and he was a highly talented student of the National Defense University before becoming a staff officer, and he has never been in a grassroots unit, so he has no opportunity to touch a gun often.

After getting to know each other, the two sat down face to face.

It was only at this time that Du Qiwei took a closer look at Pei Chengyi.

Obviously, Du Qiwei was not surprised by Pei Chengyi's ordinary appearance, slightly thin figure among soldiers, and pale complexion that was a little wrong, but surprised by Pei Chengyi's age.

"General Pei, if I'm not mistaken, you're not even fifty years old, right?"

"I'm fifty-one years old, if we're used to it."

Du Qiwei frowned slightly, and then realized that Pei Chengyi was talking about a false age.

"Time is not forgiving, I think that at the beginning, when we met on the battlefield, you were only in your early thirties, and according to your statement, I have just passed the age of not being confused." Du Qiwei smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, I have become a grandfather, and you have reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven." I really wonder if in more than 20 years, we will have the opportunity to feel the vicissitudes of life like we are now. ”

After listening to Du Qiwei, Pei Chengyi laughed.

It is undeniable that Du Qiwei's Chinese is not too Taoist. From these few sentences, Pei Chengyi concluded that Du Qiwei had a strong learning ability in a third-rate linguistics school. So I only studied for a few months. Du and Qin's nephew has a lot of experience in studying Oriental culture, especially Oriental language and culture, but he has not studied it formally, so he only knows half of some issues, which inevitably gives people a half-tone feeling.

Of course, Dudgway is definitely not a half-tone.

"Twenty years later, I won't think about it, I believe that this day, we have waited too long Pei Chengyi didn't leave the opportunity to say anything to Du Qiwei, "In fact, I don't want to meet like today, at least I don't want us to meet because of the war more than 20 years ago." If we can meet again in 20 years, I don't want to have to solve it face-to-face for the same reason

Because of his limited Chinese proficiency, it took some time for Du Qiwei to understand the meaning of Pei's words.

Pei Chengyi was patient, after all, his English was worse than Du Qiwei's Chinese.

"Real soldiers are pacifists, because it is soldiers who shed blood in the war, and it is also soldiers who die in the war, and Dudgway glanced at the White House secretary sitting next to him.

Pei Chengyi also nodded to Secretary Yuan who brought him over.

It's obvious. The White House secretary was reluctant to leave.

"As you think, if twenty years from now, we can still sit together and drink tea and chat, I hope that it is no longer for peace Du Qiwei took out his cigarette as he spoke." Do you smoke? ”

"No, it's a long time ago." Pei Chengyi smiled and picked up the teacup.

"It's a good habit not to smoke, and I want to quit, but I can't quit." Du Qiwei forced a smile and said. "No matter how good the future is, we must face up to reality. In addition to my long-cherished wish for many years, I must also fulfill the mission entrusted by the country. Although I am not aware of your country's policy, I must take this opportunity here to express my country's basic policy. ”

Pei Chengyi quietly took two sips of tea, waiting for Du Qiwei to say the most crucial sentence.

Dudgway took a few puffs of his cigarette. "No matter what happens in Africa, we will not tolerate the same situation in the Middle East, let alone make substantial concessions, as in the South Atlantic," he said. Not only will we support Israel in meeting the challenges in a variety of ways, but we will also take more direct action when necessary. More than twenty years ago, we had a similar unpleasant experience. I believe you can understand what I am talking about; As a professional soldier, I also believe that you can accurately convey our intentions to the leaders of your country. ”

Although Duchway's words are a bit logically problematic and problematic in the use of words and sentences, the meaning is very clear.

Pei Chengyi was also secretly surprised, because Du Qiwei used typical American means, that is, the most direct way, to show the attitude of the United States and explain the bottom line of the United States.

Ponder for a while. Pei Chengyi opened his mouth and said: "I don't care about Africa either, maybe you don't believe it, this is the first time I've come to Africa." The problem is that we cannot accept your country's basic policies. Although the Israeli issue deserves attention, we cannot deny that the Middle East issue is not just an Arab-Israeli issue. The solution to the Middle East problem is not only to solve the problem of the survival and development of millions of Jews, but also to consider hundreds of millions of Arabs, tens of millions of Persians, tens of millions of Turks, tens of millions of Egyptians, tens of millions of Kurds, and tens of millions of expatriates from all over the world. Tell the truth. After the Second World War. That is, after the establishment of the State of Israel, the Middle East issue has not been resolved, and in addition to the factor of great powers, the main reason is that it has paid attention to the Jewish issue. Ignoring other peoples and going further and further down the wrong path led to the current situation. Imagine if there were no Jewish question. Will there be the current Middle East problem? I am not looking at history, and in line with the principle of solving problems, we will not look into history, and there is no need to look into history. We have to solve the problem, and to solve the problem, we have to face up to the mistakes that have been made. And correct mistakes. There is no doubt that your country's basic policy is still moving in the wrong direction, not only not confronting its mistakes, but also not correcting them, so we cannot accept it

Pei Chengyi finished speaking in one breath, drank a few sips of tea in a row, and also threw the topic to Du Qiwei.

"I admit your argument that we really don't need to go into history, we should concentrate on solving the problem." There is no doubt that Dudgway will not be easily dismissed, and he will not be in a mess. "It is precisely in order to solve the problem that we have to attach great importance to the Jewish question. Whether your country wishes to admit it or not. Israel is the most powerful country in the Middle East today, and the only nuclear power. Although Israel, as a signatory to the London Treaty, has long promised not to use nuclear weapons first under any conditions, we must recognize that Israel is the most powerful country in the Middle East and the only influential power recognized by the international community. We do not discriminate against any ethnic group. It does not discriminate against any country, but we have to talk about strength, and only strength can solve all problems. It's not that we don't want to solve other problems, but we can't solve the problem of the Jews, and we can't solve the problem of the Middle East. It is undeniable that Jews have a lot of influence. Even if I make any promise here, as long as Israel's survival is threatened, my promise will be meaningless

That is to say. Don't talk about it? ”

Du Qiwei frowned slightly, feeling that Pei Chengyi was not here to negotiate. Round reading the most chopped chapters, choose the tear book, throw the concave Peng complete

"Of course, whether there is a need to talk about it or not, we have to talk about it, because only by negotiating can we solve the problem at the lowest cost, and I paused slightly, "I admit that the Jewish question is indeed an important issue in the Middle East, and it is also the key to solving the Middle East problem, but I believe it even more, compared with the problem of hundreds of millions of Arabs, tens of millions of Persians, tens of millions of Turks, tens of millions of Kurds, tens of millions of Egyptians, and tens of millions of foreigners, The question of millions of Jews is much easier to solve. Israel is now the most powerful country in the Middle East, but who can guarantee that Israel will always be the most powerful country in the Middle East? So far, no country has denied Iran's influence in the Middle East. We sit here and exchange views, not on current issues, but for the future. As long as there is no guarantee that Israel will be able to dominate the Middle East forever, we will have to find a way to solve the problem. Only in this way is for the sake of millions of Jews, not for the sake of using them as shields. Only in this way can the interests of millions of Jews be fundamentally ensured. And not to let them be cannon fodder. This is by no means alarmist, even if it is not us who is sitting here talking, even if it is not the two of us that can decide the situation in the Middle East, as long as we fail to find a way. I believe that with the progress of human civilization and the progress of science and technology, sooner or later, the issues we are talking about will determine the lives and deaths of millions or even tens of millions, the survival and death of several countries, and the rise and fall of several nations. Since we are discussing these issues, we should shoulder the heavy responsibility of history. Look at problems with a pragmatic eye and solve problems in a practical way instead of wasting time on rhetoric. ”

Listen to Pei Chengyi. Dudgway pondered for a long time

His look told Pei Chengyi that this time it was not because he couldn't listen to Chinese, but because he completely understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

"I understand what you mean, as you say, we should be pragmatic.

Dudgway lit a second cigarette, took two puffs, and said, "Mother Yong only emphasized that the Jewish question led to the whole Middle East problem, and recognized the importance of the Jewish question, but did not propose a specific way to deal with the Jewish question. ”

Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "It's not that there is no way, I'm afraid we won't be able to talk about one."

Du Qiwei's eyebrows jumped a few times, and he also laughed, and said, "Even if you can't talk about it, you can't stop talking about it." ”

Pei Chengyi nodded, pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, our opinion is that to solve the Middle East problem at the root, the Jews will return wherever they come from, and we will try our best to contact other countries concerned and provide sufficient compensation for the Jews." ”

"Are the Jews short of money?" Dudgway shook his head with a smile and said, "If the Jews follow the same terms, they can buy the whole of the Middle East." ”

"Then let's not talk about money, we talk about the security that Jews need most." Pei Chengyi put down the teacup and said, "Needless to say, your country's position is naturally supportive, it supports the Jews now, and it will definitely support the Jews in the future." As compensation, we will pledge to always defend the interests of Jews throughout the world. Of course, if your country does not feel at ease, we can sign a secret agreement that legally recognizes our country's obligations to the Jews. ”

Du Qiwei was secretly surprised, because Pei Chengyi's conditions were too high.

To know. As long as the republic makes such a commitment, it means that the republic must fight for the Jews. Everyone knows the status and influence of the Jews in the Western world, and the republic fought for the Jews. What is the difference from fighting for the Western world?

Needless to say, this is not a one-sided promise.

Of course, at some point, the promises made by the state are worthless. The international community recognizes only practical interests.

pondered for a while. "Regardless, we'll consider your suggestions," Dudgway said. Now the question is. If I don't accept the solution you are proposing. How many hours do we have? ”

Pei Chengyi gave three thumbs up.

Du Qiwei frowned slightly and said, "Although it is a bit hasty. But three years later"

Not three years. It's three months. "The tearful book bar is less concave factory, more salary, more

"What!?" Dudgway almost jumped.

"If your country considers that the approach we have proposed is feasible, it must respond within three months and enter into formal negotiations with us." Pei Chengyi smiled slightly and said, "In view of the government's consistent style of doing things, I think that the actual time given to your government is not three catties." Months, probably only two months. as a reciprocal action. During this period, we will make all preparations related to the negotiation, and provide the negotiation venue and related expenses. ”

That is to say. We don't have a choice? ”

"General. Don't you need a tangible solution? Pei Chengyi crossed his hands and said, "This is the solution we proposed." Of course, we do not rule out other possible options. In other words, if the authorities in your country can find other solutions, they can come up with them and discuss them. Of course. We will not change the schedule of negotiations until we do find other solutions that we all think are viable. ”

Du Qiwei let out a sigh and said, "In other words, if you can't do it within three months, you can only tear your face?" ”

Pei Chengyi didn't speak, but the meaning was clear.

The next three months are not about preparing for negotiations, but about war!
