"Lord Wang, just received a telegram, Commander Chen Liyan of the Northeast Military Region issued a telegram to the world, saying that they have recovered the territory of Hailan Pao, which was ceded to the Russians in 1858 AD, that is, in the eighth year of our Chinese Xianfeng, and that their Northeast Military Region will continue to work hard to defend the country and recover the lost territory under the leadership of Lord Wang. Commander of the Northeast Military Region Chen Liyan, Chief of Staff Song Yang. ”

"Chen Liyan recovered Hailan? Convene an emergency military-political joint meeting immediately! Wang Guorui asked.

Wang Guorui convened this joint meeting of the military and the government, and then called all the senior civil and military officials, and then told them the news of Chen Liyan's recovery of Hailan Bubble. Then Hu Wei's face became a little weird, Zheng Hong was a little indifferent, and the generals below at the level of major generals and colonels had their eyes shining, obviously feeling excited.

Hu Wei, a lieutenant general, has long been an old fritter, so naturally after a little thought, he will know what benefits Chen Liyan has in recovering the country this time. That is Chen Liyan, which is a very huge political capital, and then Chen Liyan can use this capital to become the third in command in the army excluding Wang Guorui, a political leader, and he is truly qualified to stand on his own. In the past, Chen Liyan belonged to the No. 2 person under Hu Wei, but now that he has this opportunity, he is qualified to stand on his own. Once Chen Liyan sets up his own door, it will definitely bring a group of Hu Wei's subordinates over, so that Hu Wei's forces will inevitably suffer a lot of blows.

As for Zheng Hong, he pretended not to know, anyway, it was Hu Wei who was unlucky this time, and it had nothing to do with him. However, Wang Guorui soon thought of this, that is, the army will change from two giants to tridents in the future, so that it is safer for him to control the army. And the triangle is in this pattern. The three-legged stand has always been a very good situation, the most stable and the least easy to break. This is not only a principle of mathematics and physics, but also a principle of political science. In this way, all three parties have scruples, and it is not easy for direct conflicts to erupt. As a leader. It's not enough to divide your subordinates into two factions, because once the two factions cooperate, it is also dangerous. Or if the two factions fight too hard, then there is a possibility that something will go wrong. Of course, the more dispersed the better, once it is too scattered, it is easy to cause partisan scuffle, which is not conducive to the development of the country and the real control of the top. Therefore, the three-legged and trident model is relatively the most stable, because all three parties have scruples. Don't fight too hard directly. And it is not too scattered, and it is impossible to cooperate and cohesion, so it is most appropriate to divide into three factions.

"I'm relieved that at least until my academy and acolytes really get up, they can still maintain balance. When my chamber and the academy rise, I can gradually squeeze their living space. Wang Guorui thought.

When everyone thought about it for about five minutes, Wang Guorui, who presided over the meeting, first said: "This time Chen Liyan took the initiative to regain the lost territory, what do you think?" ”

Hu Wei immediately said, "Lord Wang." I think Commander Chen's behavior is good! Although he did not ask for instructions in advance, he would not be subject to military orders abroad. And the military situation is urgent, and the fighter plane is fleeting, so it is understandable for him to do so. Since he is a front-line commander, he must also be given enough command power, so although he did not ask for instructions, it was all within his power! ”

Hu Wei also felt that his toothache was incomparable. This Chen Liyan obviously betrayed himself and planned to choose to stand on his own. But he had to grit his teeth to help him exonerate, because this time Chen Liyan was recovering the lost ground, which was what he should do as a soldier. If Hu Wei criticized Chen Liyan for recovering the lost territory at fault, wouldn't this be a slap in the face to the soldiers of the world? This kind of denial of the reconquest of others. As a soldier, you can't do that, and at that time, you really have to become the public enemy of the whole army. The reconquisition is inevitable, and if even the reconquista has to be attacked, then what is the point of existence for these soldiers? So even if Hu Wei is slapped now, for the sake of his military identity, he must help Chen Liyan. Not to mention anything else, as long as he is still wearing a military uniform for a day, even after retiring from a military post, he must consider it from the perspective of a soldier.

Zheng Hong also said: "Husband, Chen Liyan did a good job this time. It is the reconquest of lost ground, what a great credit it is, and it should be commended. ”

The same is true for Zheng Hong, even if she is Wang Guorui's woman, as long as she wears a military uniform for a day, she must consider the problem from the perspective of a soldier. This time Chen Liyan regained the lost territory, then no matter what faction of the army he is, whether it is the army or the navy, he must be saved. If the soldiers have to be punished for recovering the lost territory, then what is the meaning of their existence? Therefore, whether it is Hu Wei, Zheng Hong, or even Li Yuanhong of the Marine Corps, Qiu Baoren, Chief of Staff of the Navy, etc., they also expressed their opinions, representing their support for Chen Liyan. Although they have their own factions in the army, they are members of the same big faction, and they all belong to the faction of the military. This is also a matter of level, this time it has risen to the issue of military duties, none of them can be left alone, and they must support Chen Liyan. If Chen Liyan is punished, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face to all their soldiers.

"But, this time, there is a problem! If this continues, will it send a signal to foreigners that we are going to abolish all past treaties? You must know that at this time, all countries are also very sensitive, if we make them mistakenly think that we are going to abolish all the treaties signed by the Manchus and Qing in those years, will they increase their efforts again and then invade us? You must know that all countries have a lot of interests in us, and if we don't handle it well, maybe we will let Britain and France put pressure on us again, or even send troops over again. Although we will have to solve those unequal treaties sooner or later, there must be ways and means to solve them, and we cannot just say that they will be abolished. We have recovered Hailan Bubble this time, that is a start, will it cause the high-level sensitivity of various countries? Li Enfu said.

Li Enfu's voice on the government's side has gradually improved, if nothing else, after Wang Guorui becomes emperor, the first foreign minister will be him. As for Yao Wendong, the original director of the External Liaison Department, then he can also give him a relatively high-level title and let him tease Sun. Now in Wang Guorui's diplomatic system, Yao Wendong has no longer care about things, and everything is handed over to Executive Deputy Li Enfu to be responsible. Yao Wendong also probably knew his final result, so he chose to take the initiative to retreat, hoping to leave a favor, at least after retiring, he would not retire naked, and he could go to some other more retreat positions to overcome, and then it could be regarded as a safe soft landing, and his descendants could have a better future. If he wants to resist, the final result is mostly a chicken and egg fight, and then it will affect the future of his offspring.

"Are we afraid of him?" Hu Wei said.

"But if we contradict them too deeply, it won't fit our future strategic plan!" Li Enfu also said.

Wang Guorui finally thought for a while, and then said: "First of all, as a soldier, the reconquest of lost territory is inevitable and should be. Although Chen Liyan did not report to be approved this time, this is also within his authority, and it is not overstepping his authority. And he is the first general in my China to really regain lost territory, which has a different meaning. Chen Liyan can be authorized to wear the seniority badge of the Zhengda Military Region, and as for how to reward it, it can be solved together in a few months. ”

Wang Guorui is a reward for Chen Liyan, because Chen Liyan has obtained a seniority medal at the level of the Zhengda Military Region, which is a comprehensive evaluation standard in the army. There are decorations such as rank, military age, etc., and the meaning of this Zhengda Military Region level plus is that it represents the level above the Zhengda Military Region, and at present, only Hu Wei and Zheng Hong have this seniority badge. And if nothing else, Zheng Hong and Hu Wei would have been promoted to generals after Wang Guorui ascended the throne, but Chen Liyan was not originally in this quota. But this time Chen Liyan has this credit, and he is the first to regain the lost territory, so he will naturally be rewarded. So it's okay to make an exception, as for the moment it's just wearing a seniority badge, as for the military rank, Wang Guorui will be promoted together after he ascends the throne and becomes emperor in a few months.

But with this seniority badge, it means that Chen Liyan can be qualified to be on an equal footing with Hu Wei and Zheng Hong in the army, which is not so easy to obtain.

"Okay, in that case, then we can all deal with the media and the ministers of various countries." Wang Guorui said.

Sure enough, soon Li Zhanfeng, the director of the attendant room, immediately said: "Lord Wang, the reporters from outside are here, and they want to ask us about the recovery of Hailan Pao. Not only our Chinese reporters, but also some foreign reporters have come to inquire one after another. They want you to explain your thoughts on China's future and your attitude toward foreign countries. ”

"Hmph, these reporters, it seems that those foreigners have come to test us, and they want to inquire about our situation." Li Enfu said. (To be continued.) )
