Chapter 47: A Conversation That Affects the Entire Federation
"To meet the heir of the most mysterious and oldest family in the Federation, and to be the heir of such a young man of courage and judgment...... That's my pleasure. The middle-aged man didn't seem to have the breath of those rebels in the mountains, but expressed his respect for the Tai family like a businessman.
"I didn't expect you anti-government figures to be like politicians in the Federation. Tai Zhiyuan said with a slight mockery.
"If it makes you feel better, I don't mind slapping the ass a little louder. β
Tai Zhiyuan looked at the No. 2 figure of the anti-government army not far in front of him, and gradually compared it with the image in the data, but found that the two images did not coincide in any way.
"Whether it's the Federation or your organization, it seems that there is only one code name for you, and that is ...... He. "But in conversation, a title is always needed." β
"Tai Gongzi can call me a mountain man. The middle-aged man said.
Tai Zhiyuan shook his head calmly and persistently: "I don't like this kind of title that is too literary and artistic. β
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Then you can call me Zhongcai." β
"Well, Mr. Zhongcai, I don't want to say anything about how stupid you are, how many people in the Federation want you to die, you should know this kind of thing better than me. β
Tai Zhiyuan knew that he was not facing an ordinary character, but a very troublesome and powerful character in the Federation, and this was the first time since he became an adult that he really spoke between the Tai family and the major forces as the heir of the Tai family, so he was extremely cautious and said a few more words to buy time to calm himself down.
"Please tell us what you mean. He stared at the ugly triangular eyes of the middle-aged man and asked directly.
"I take the 70,000 warriors of the mountains and ask for it. Thirteen million federal citizens in the four states of the mountains hope for it. Comrade Nanshui came with trust. The middle-aged man's tone was extremely serious at this moment. "I came with a peaceful will. Hopefully there will be a federal response. β
What a familiar and unfamiliar word. Especially between the federal government and the rebels. How many years has it been since the rebels fought in force in the four states around the mountains? The color of the military ground was gradually diluted. But the upper echelons of the Federation are well aware. The anti-government forces are still based on their military might. The two sides have been fighting back for countless years. I don't know how many people died in the process. Countless bloods had stained every inch of that mountain. Peace!
Tai Zhiyuan stirred the coffee ground, and his fingers instantly stiffened. A strange expression gradually appeared on his pale cheeks. He never thought of it. The rebel's number two man gets straight to the point. Such a heavyweight bomb was dropped!
Peace negotiations between the federal government and the rebels. I don't know how many rounds have passed. How many peace agreements have been drawn. However, in the end, it will erupt because of one party's perfidy or accident. And let the paper agreement be settled. Even all these years. The moderates in the rebel army had already entered the federal political arena. Begin to image non-violently. Seek voter support. But actually. In those areas where the media touches out. Armed clashes between government and anti-government forces. It's been going on.
If it is said to be a general peace talk. Tai Zhiyuan would definitely not be so shocked. But since the person in front of him is the number two person in the anti-government army. It has won the trust of the backbone of Nanshui. He spoke peacefully. Nature is not the one that is peaceful on paper. It's real. Peace can be put into practice.
"You should contact the president's office or the Department of Defense directly. Tai Zhiyuan took a deep breath. Suppressed the faint excitement in my heart. He said calmly: "If you are really willing to return the Federation to a peaceful time without civil war. On behalf of the Tai family, I would like to express my 12 points of welcome to this. In addition, we will provide comprehensive support to the four prefectures around the mountains immediately. β
It's a beautiful thing to say, but it's actually the same as not saying it. Peace talks between the government and the rebels were supposed to be between politicians and professional soldiers. Tai Zhiyuan had no urge to get involved. He knew that this would certainly bring him a lot of political capital and a reputation among citizens, but this kind of affairs that were destined to be complex and extremely risky, if not careful, would become a black hole that swallowed everything.
"Tai Gongzi said with a smile, if I can talk to the federal president or those soldiers, I will naturally not come to you. The middle-aged man calmly replied: "The federal government is used to treachery, if we really put down the guns in our hands and stop the roar of the engines of armored vehicles, maybe the next day." Countless mechs and planes will begin to attack the mountains......"
"Then you shouldn't be looking for me. Tai Zhiyuan said as calmly as possible: "I'm just a young man who is still studying. You can't expect anything from me. β
"But everyone in the major forces wants to get in touch with you at this time, because everyone knows it. After the coming-of-age ceremony, Mrs. Tai will gradually put the family business back into your hands. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "What's more, Mrs. Tai is not so insightful. I'm not a MedellΓn legislator, I'm a man who is still on the federal war criminals list, and if I dare to show my identity in the capital d.c., in three minutes, countless soldiers will start chasing me. β
That's a good thing, it's always easier to meet a student like me. Tai Zhiyuan said: "But the problem is that although I have just completed the coming-of-age ceremony, according to the rules of the family, it is impossible for me to decide all the affairs of the family immediately. β
"I believe that Mrs. Tai will gradually transfer the decision-making power to your hands. The middle-aged man said calmly: "The Tai family, who has been mysteriously and low-key for countless years, although they still haven't publicized your coming-of-age ceremony this year, those who have gradually come to Ewha University have proved that Mrs. Tai has not continued to hide your intention to exist from the public...... If my guess is correct, after the end of your studies at Ewha University, you will enter the military, maybe you will go to the Xilin front, accumulate military merits, and then start to enter the government department and start routine work, about ten years later, you will start to enter the political circle, prepare for that final goal. β
"The final purpose?" Tai Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed, and he found it again. This extremely mysterious man in the federal archives is really not a person who can be easily controlled, at least the other party has an extremely powerful intelligence system and analytical judgment ability, which is shocking enough in itself.
"Except for the president...... The dignified Tai family walked out of front of the screen for the first time, what kind of role play on the stage would they be interested in?" the middle-aged man smiled and said, "But that is many years later, and we are talking about the immediate thing now." β
Talking about things right away. The middle-aged man's tone became much more serious and cautious: "The preparations for the armed invasion of the mountains that the federal military has been doing at the end have made Comrade Nanshui and myself feel unprecedented pressure......
"The federal embargo and sanctions for many years have made the supplies in the mountains extremely scarce, and the citizens of the Federation who sympathize with you, even if they want to continue the secret donations of previous years, are unable to reach your hands because of the lack of smooth channels. And because of the presence of the MedellΓn parliamentarians, your popular support base in the four states around the mountains has also been divided a lot. β
Tai Zhiyuan easily pointed out the current predicament of the rebels. "There are fewer and fewer people supporting you, so you came up with the word peace?"
"The times are stronger than the people. A hint of vicissitudes flashed between the middle-aged man's eyebrows, "So I came with sincerity." Seek your family's response. β
"I still don't understand. Tai Zhiyuan did not feel the slightest uneasiness because the other party's words exposed the family's future arrangements for his political future, and said coldly: "Even if I can already make decisions within the family...... But what does this have to do with peace negotiations between your rebels and the government? I have never denied the influence of my family on federal politics, but I have never been so arrogant as to think that I can change the attitude of the entire federal government. β
"But you can try to change the attitude of the federal president. The middle-aged man looked at Tai Zhiyuan and said with a smile: "Next year is the presidential election, and I know that Councilor Pabul has already met with his wife." β
Tai Zhiyuan picked up the coffee cup, but did not drink it, and pondered for a long time. This rebel intelligence chief proved it to him once again. The powerful forces of his intelligence network.
The middle-aged man didn't stop because of Tai Zhiyuan's silence, and continued to analyze calmly: "So, there are a few points that make me have to take the risk of coming to have a conversation with you. First, we rebels trust the morality of Pabul MPs more than the current federal president and government. Second, although Councillor Parb has an excellent reputation among the middle and lower class federal citizens, for the Capital Circle, especially the region with the largest number of voters, this lawyer from a family of Donglin miners...... It's still a somewhat unfamiliar face. He needed an explosive news event. Help him win the recognition of the majority of voters in the shortest possible time. Third, Councillor Pabul has no experience in the military, has never shown his courage and determination in dealing with emergencies, and his ability in the area of national security has always been widely questioned...... In the election, this will undoubtedly be the soft underbelly of his opponents. β
"So we hope that the Tai family can help from this, so that we can negotiate a grand reconciliation agreement directly with the Pabul MP. The middle-aged man continued to whisper: "We trust the Tai family's demeanor and the political ethics of Councillor Pabul, and once an agreement is reached, Councillor Pabul." It will also make a wonderful political capital out of it. Thus ensuring his success in the presidential election next year. β
I have to say, this anti-government military intelligence leader. Also a very good lobbyist. At this moment, Tai Zhiyuan admitted that he was a little moved, but he was more vigilant, an anti-government guy was actually more sophisticated than those professional brokers outside the capital management committee, such a character is really not to be taken lightly.
"What kind of conditions do you need?" Tai Zhiyuan asked calmly. "Before Pabur became president, negotiations began, and on the way to the negotiations, could the troops assembled by the federal military take a vacation? At the same time, the federal government imposed an economic blockade...... Is it possible to open an opening in private?" the middle-aged man smiled and offered: "After Councilor Pabul is elected president, it is natural that everything is easy to discuss. β
(It's hard to clean...... οΌ
