Volume 3 The Stormy Waves of the East China Sea Chapter 71 The Breath of Winter
Before dawn, Zhao Rundong and Huang Guowei came to the head of state's mansion
Knowing that the head of state only went to bed in the middle of the night, the two took the initiative to go to the living room to chat and pass the time to prepare tea for the two ministers, and Wang Yuanqing began his day's work
Ji Youguo used to get up before dawn, eat breakfast before 7 o'clock, and start work at 7:30
As the personal secretary of the head of state, Wang Yuanqing not only prepared breakfast for the head of state, but also had to prepare a day's work arrangements in order of priority before the head of state came to the study of Xipuyuan.
When eating breakfast, Ji Youguo read two copies and participated in three morning reports
"Are Pang Xinglong and Huang Guowei here?"
"The foreign minister has arrived, the prime minister is still on the way, and the defense minister has also arrived"
"Zhao Rundong?" Ji Youguo frowned slightly, "What is he doing here?" ”
"I called last night and I asked him to come in the morning"
Ji Youguo nodded slightly, "How long have they been here?" ”
"It's been a while, and now we're chatting in the living room."
"Let them go to the study," Ji Youguo sighed, "Lao Zhao is in a hurry to find me, it must be Peng Maobang who called him and asked him to test my tone."
"Tentative breath?" Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Mr. Peng won't even be able to afford to lose a box of cigarettes, right?" ”
"Cigarettes are a trivial matter, Peng Maobang definitely wants to find out my attitude towards the next stage of military operations," Ji Youguo also smiled and said, "He has such a temper and face, and his thoughts are very serious, and he doesn't want to suffer, you hurry up and clean up, and then go to prepare tea, I will change my clothes and go to the study."
Wang Yuanqing nodded, put away the cups and plates, and left the restaurant
Five minutes later, wearing "work clothes", Ji Youguo came to the study, unlike other country leaders, Ji Youguo never wore a suit, in everyone's impression, he was always a dark blue or dark gray tunic on his body, and on some solemn occasions, he would replace the tunic with a short Tang suit
Coming to the study in advance, Zhao Rundong and Huang Guowei immediately got up
"Just sit down, don't be polite" Ji Youguo walked up to the two with a smile, "Lao Zhao, I heard Wang Yuanqing say, you called last night?" ”
"It was the middle of the night, and I heard that you had gone to bed, so I didn't let Xiao Wang disturb your dream."
"What's the matter?" Ji Youguo sat down, then beckoned to the two of them to sit down and talk
"It's not a big deal" Zhao Rundong picked up the cigarette on the table, "After receiving the second phase of the battle report, Lao Peng called me and asked if he wanted to start the third phase of the combat operation as soon as possible."
"Old Peng?" Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head, "I didn't leave the General Staff until about twelve o'clock last night, when did he call you?" ”
Zhao Rundong was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "This old Peng is not a big deal, and he wants me to be a microphone."
"The third phase of combat operations, I think it should be pressed As for why, I'll explain later" Ji Youguo looked at Huang Guowei next to him, "Guowei, don't say it yet, let me guess why you came early in the morning"
Huang Guowei blinked his eyelids, revealing a look that seemed to be smiling but not smiling
Hearing the conversation between the Führer and Zhao Rundong, Huang Guowei knew that the Führer and the Chief of the General Staff had an awkward quarrel
After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, you just received a diplomatic note from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, right?" To put it in more detail, did the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs offer to suspend military operations and negotiate a settlement of the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands? ”
"Führer, I just received the news, how do you know so clearly?"
Zhao Rundong looked surprised, and looked at Ji Youguo in disbelief
"I didn't know, I just guessed, I didn't expect to be guessed right," Ji Youguo smiled and said, "The Japanese government has played a good card that we can't avoid, if we don't agree to cease-fire negotiations, world public opinion, especially the Western media, will describe us as a reckless aggressor, if we agree to cease-fire negotiations, we will lose the initiative, and the advantages we have gained will be gone, do you think, Japan will admit defeat?" ”
Huang Guowei frowned and said: "Japan will definitely not admit defeat, otherwise it will not propose armistice negotiations at this time."
The specific reason, Huang Guowei did not say, and the three people present knew it
Armistice negotiations are a continuation of war and conflict, in the words of Westerners, "what you can't get on the battlefield, don't think about it at the negotiating table" For Japan, wait until the tide of the war is reversed, at least to redeem the defeat, and then put forward the armistice talks, in order to get benefits at the negotiating table In the case of military defeat, Japan will not only not get any benefits, but will also be forced to sign an armistice treaty that humiliates the dignity of the nation and harms national interests, and the signing of an armistice treaty that insults national dignity and harms national interests will bring down the Japanese cabinet government immediately, Leaving the Democratic Party forever from the arena of government
In the absence of any benefit, will the Japanese government sincerely negotiate an armistice with the Republic?
"The foreign minister is right," Zhao Rundong let out a long breath and said, "Japan is proposing armistice negotiations at this time, no."
Adjust military deployments and gain time for U.S. assistance"
"If you want to find out Japan's intentions, the way is very simple," Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said to Huang Guowei, "From the overall strategic consideration, we have to take into account the pressure of international public opinion, and we have to care more about the international image of the republic.
"How do you do an article?" Huang Guowei immediately asked, and he came to the Führer to ask about this matter
"It's still the same sentence, the price is all over the sky, and the money is paid back on the ground" Ji Youguo glanced at the foreign minister, "Set the price high, don't limit yourself to the Diaoyu Islands, add everything you can think of, if Japan is sincere in negotiating, it will put forward a reasonable negotiation price, and if Japan intends to use the negotiation to gain time, it will blindly back down, neither do anything with us, nor sign any formal agreement with us, pay attention to the strategy when negotiating"
Huang Guowei nodded and said, "I'll arrange it right away and make preparations for the negotiation as soon as possible."
"There is also propaganda work, as soon as the news is announced, it will be said that Japan has taken the initiative to propose armistice talks, and our side has agreed to the armistice on the principle of peaceful settlement of disputes, and to negotiate with Japan to settle the dispute anyway, to put it nicely, to let the whole world know that the war was not provoked by us, and we do not want to use war to solve the problem."
Without waiting for Huang Guowei to get up, Wang Yuanqing took Pang Xinglong to the study
"I just received the news," Pang Xinglong said as he nodded at Wang Yuanqing, "The Japanese Prime Minister will hold a press conference in five minutes, and the diplomatic note will be sent directly to me."
Wang Yuanqing turned on the TV, and several people's eyes shifted to the TV screen
The studio host of the international news channel is talking to the reporter in front of him, asking about the situation at the press center of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office
Ji Youguo frowned slightly, and asked Wang Yuanqing to tone down his voice a little
"Obviously, Japan is ready to strike first" Ji Youguo smiled coldly and said, "Guowei, you hurry back and prepare, and announce the news as soon as possible"
Huang Guowei immediately got up and said goodbye
"In addition to diplomatic statements and public opinion propaganda, I am afraid that we will have to work on other aspects"
Ji Youguo nodded, affirmed Zhao Rundong's statement, and turned to Pang Xinglong to ask, "How prepared are you for what I talked to you about yesterday?" ”
"The report has just been written," Pang Xinglong handed a document to Ji Youguo, "The vast majority of experts believe that the possibility of Japan attacking China's financial market is very large, and the preliminary analysis concludes that after Japan gets the loan from WB, it will take three to five days to transfer funds, and the total investment will not be less than one trillion US dollarsto strike a comprehensive blow to the economy of our country"
Ji Youguo nodded slightly, flipped through the document casually, and said, "What countermeasures do we have?" ”
"Introduce relevant policies, use national reserves, encourage domestic investors, and unite private enterprises to ......," Pang Xinglong said a lot, and finally said, "All preparations for dealing with the financial crisis have been launched, but only passive response can only lead to a conflict between us and Japan in the financial field, and the result will inevitably be a lose-lose situation."
The best way to stop the financial crisis is to make Japan retreat."
"I'm afraid I can't do it if I know the difficulties" Ji Youguo smiled faintly, "But we have a way to deal with Japan, in addition, I think we should also attract international hot money to a more oily and attractive market, so as to fundamentally resolve the financial crisis"
Pang Xinglong hesitated a little and said, "I also have this idea, but there are not many ways to do it."
"This matter, we will talk about it in two days" Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "Your main task is to stabilize the domestic market and withstand the stormy waves outside, no matter what, the financial market cannot be chaotic, the economic order cannot be chaotic, and the industrial reform cannot be stopped, as long as we withstand this round of impact, the future will be brighter"
Pang Xinglong didn't say much, got up and said: "I'll go back and convene a meeting of various departments of the State Council to implement the relevant policies."
Ji Youguo nodded and motioned for Wang Yuanqing to send the prime minister out
After Pang Xinglong left the study, Zhao Rundong said: "Lao Ji, how big is this time, I'm afraid it won't end well."
"Whoever doesn't want us to end, we won't let him end" Ji Youguo smiled coldly and said, "What really wants to deal with us is the United States, if there is no US government intervention, will WB immediately issue loans to Japan?" Without a loan from WB, Japan will not even be able to calm down the domestic financial crisis, so what to do with us? I said six years ago that the financial turmoil is not over, but only temporarily subdued, and since someone wants to provoke a financial war at this time, we will let the whole world enter the winter and see who can survive to the end! ”
Zhao Rundong was shocked in his heart, Ji Youguo played too much this time
Damn it*
The conflict escalates, the financial attack begins, defend the country, and defend the "National Focus" with a monthly pass! (To be continued)
