One-one. Monthly thugs Day, Pei Chengyi set off to return to Beijing. Because he received a call from Liu Xiaobin before leaving, on the way back to China, Pei Chengyi used the confidential communication line of the Military Intelligence Bureau to chat with Liu Xiaobin for several hours. The new address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read if you delete it!

"The intelligence is very accurate. It was sent back by the inside spies we arranged in Mosad." Liu Xiaobin paused for a moment and said, "Before this, the undercover spy did not participate in any intelligence activities. This was the first operation he had lurked in nearly twenty years and the last operation."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly, feeling a bad premonition.

"After receiving the intelligence, we lost contact with him." Liu Xiaobin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Through the inside spies at the fourth-class intelligence agency, we have confirmed the reliability of this intelligence. If not unexpected, at the end of this month, Israel and Turkey will sign a tripartite agreement with the United States to formally form a war treaty."

"So, the war will break out next month."

"At the earliest next month, the latest at the end of this year." Liu Xiaobin took it and took it, saying, "This time, let you go back. In addition to reporting on the situation of the Joint Command and introducing the war plan, the main problem is to find out whether you have the ability to start a war this month."

"We start the war?"

Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "It doesn't matter who shot the first shot. If necessary, we have a way to get the first shot. The key is whether we have this ability."

Pei Chengyi pondered for a moment and said, "In addition to whether the war can start early, is it good for us to start early?"

"That's right, you'd better prepare."

Pei Chengyi smiled and expressed his understanding of Liu Xiaobin's meaning.

Since it is a military conference, the Chief of General Staff is definitely indispensable. In any case, the Chief of General Staff is the supreme commander of the Republic's army and the supreme military commander who represents the head of state to command the army's operations. Although with the help of Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi did not have to face Lin Xiaolei directly or ask Lin Xiaolei for instructions, after the war broke out, no matter how capable Li Cunxun was, Pei Chengyi would face Lin Xiaolei. If he could not avoid it, he would not need to avoid it. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles during the war, Pei Chengyi had to have a good contact with Lin Xiaolei. Pre-war meetings were undoubtedly the best opportunity, and as the Chief of General Staff, he had the right to inquire about military operations.

Obviously, Liu Xiaobin was worried that Pei Chengyi would encounter trouble.

When he received the news of his return to China, Pei Chengyi also had this concern. On the contrary, after receiving the call from Liu Xiaobin, he felt that there was nothing to worry about. Even if Gu Weimin didn't directly authorize Pei Chengyi to command the war, because Lin Xiaolei was an admiral, even if he participated in several wars, he had never commanded ground troops to fight, so he was unlikely to interfere in front-line command, and there was no reason to compete with Pei Chengyi for command.

Relatively speaking, what Pei Chengyi needs to bear is Gu Weimin.

Since last talked with Li Cunxun, Pei Chengyi has a bad premonition that he is facing a war that he cannot win. If so, Gu Weimin must have some understanding of the final outcome, and he deliberately arranged Pei Chengyi to command the war, which was a certain secret. In fact, some of Li Cunxun's arrangements indirectly prove that Pei Chengyi's concerns are not groundless. Not to mention anything else, in the personnel arrangements of the Southern Line Command, Li Cunxun hinted that Pei Chengyi's heavy use of Su Jinhui is likely to be related to Gu Weimin, or to the final outcome of the war. In any case, Li Cunxun has no reason to suppress Pei Chengyi, and Gu Weimin has no reason to reuse Pei Chengyi at this time. In this way, when returning to China to face Gu Weimin, Pei Chengyi must have some concerns.

Seeing Pei Chengyi's thoughtful look, Liu Xiaobin was silent for a while. When Pei Chengyi breathed a long time, he said, "If you need relevant help, just say it out. I can make arrangements as soon as possible while you have not returned to Beijing."

"What do you think of Mu Jinhui?"

Pei Chengyi suddenly raised this question, which scared Liu Xiaobin.

"I just asked casually. If you find it inconvenient, just pretend I didn't ask."

"This is the safest communication line, there is no inconvenience." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Although Su Jinhui was already a famous commander of the military army before returning to the Military Intelligence Bureau with Lao Li, according to some top-secret information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau, this general from a military family is very special. How to say, in terms of talent, he is definitely no worse than any soldier of the same age. To put it directly, even compared with you, he is not much inferior. It can be said that if it weren't for the three first-ranking leaders who deliberately suppressed the army.

The traditional forces in the team are probably Su Jinhui has long been successful. In fact, since he became the commander of the Concave Army, Su Jinhui has paid great attention to his image, rarely contacted those prominent relatives, and even rarely went home. Although in the eyes of most people, this is his rebellious behavior, from an objective standpoint, we must admit that would a general who can command tens of thousands of officers and soldiers be so immature? No matter what, I always think that Su Jinhui is not simple, and there must be something we don’t understand in some aspects."

"That is, his scheming is very deep."

Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "During the Peninsula War, you asked the Ark Army to come on the field. Although you were still an army colonel at that time, you should have had contact with Su Jinhui and also had some understanding of him."

"I did have contact, but I just couldn't understand it."

Liu Xiaobin smiled and shook his head, not arguing with Pei Chengyi.

"What I want to figure out is, what would Su Jinhui do if he knew he was facing an unfinished task?"

"A task that cannot be completed?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "To put it bluntly, the southern front he commanded will end in a crushing defeat. What will he do?

Liu Xiaobin frowned slightly, as if he understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

Seeing the thoughtful look of the deputy director of Military Information, Pei Chengyi did not continue.

After thinking for a while, Liu Xiaobin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As far as I know, in everyone's opinion, it was impossible to complete the task."

"Is that what you think?"

Liu Xiaobin nodded and said, "As a mature soldier, I believe that setbacks only make him stronger.

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.

"You decided to have a good talk with Su Jinhui?"

"No matter what, he is the front-line commander, and I am the commander-in-chief. We have to communicate."

"The problem is," Liu Xiaobin hesitated for a moment and said, "This arrangement is not simple at all. No matter what you say to Su Jinhui, I think there should be some reservations."

"I know this." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "We talked about whether the war could start early. I think if it was proposed by me, it would definitely have some unpredictable negative impacts."

"You mean" Liu Xiaobin frowned slightly and understood what Pei Chengyi meant.

"It's hard to say how to deal with this matter now. After all, being able to become a general is definitely not a fool." Pei Chengyi sighed and said, "From my standpoint, at most, we can only analyze the pros and cons of starting a war early for us."

"This is why I'm looking for you."

Pei Chengyi seemed to have expected it long ago, and So Ran deliberately reminded Liu Xiaobin.

"A few days ago, I had a good talk with Lao Li, and felt that the problem was not as simple as we imagined." Liu Xiaobin lit a second cigarette and said, "Lao Li told you. As early as a few years ago, during the former head of state, we prepared for a large-scale war in the Middle East. To be honest, a lot of the intelligence we have obtained now is the credit of the intelligence personnel arranged at that time. Mu Yong questioned and made preparations for the military. He only went out and considered confidentiality. Before that, all military preparations were under the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau and were not handed over to the General Staff."

Pei Chengyi nodded and waited for Liu Xiaobin to continue talking.

It is precisely because the Military Intelligence Bureau has always been in charge of matters related to the Middle East that Pei Chengyi did not know the relevant situation during his work in the General Staff. According to Pei Chengyi's understanding, Xiang Yinghui must have been aware of it. However, Pei Chengyi happened to be a senior military adviser in Pakistan at that time, and then participated in the Indian War. Later, in order to avoid being involved in the military dispute, he left the General Staff and did not even return to the General Staff in the following years.

"I won't say much about the details. When you have time, we can have a good chat." Liu Xiaobin smiled reluctantly and said, "No matter what, the military operations against the Middle East have spanned two governments. Although the preliminary work was under the responsibility of the Military Intelligence Bureau, many arrangements were not in place, such as the failure to formulate targeted war plans." But these are completely understandable. After all, the two heads of state have different plans for the Republic, and our foreign policy has also changed, so it is difficult to formulate war plans in advance. "

"You mean, there is no unified opinion on the above until now?"

Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and said, "That's what you say directly."

Pei Chengyi immediately frowned. This is definitely not a good thing.

This just explains one thing that Pei Chengyi has been doubting, that is, why Su Jinhui has been reluctant to go to Syria. No matter what, Su Jinhui must have a way to know the situation of the senior management, and that the tasks assigned to him are not simple, so he will not take the most critical step rashly until the situation is clear. In fact, as long as he does not work in Syria for a day, he will not have to take responsibility for it for a day. Similarly, this also made Pei Chengyi understand another thing, that is, why Gu Weimin asked Li Cunxun to be fully responsible for related matters, rather than taking this opportunity to win over Pei Chengyi.

Mo Yong doubted that Gu Weimin would definitely not be optimistic about this war.

From the day he entered the political arena, Gu Weimin was a representative of the "doves". Before that, his most prominent performance was to provide opposite references to Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing, so that the two iron-fisted heads of state did not go to extremes. In a sense, this is also the key reason why Gu Weimin was reused during the reign of Zhao Rundong and Wang Yuanqing. It can be said that for the two former heads of state, especially Wang Yuanqing, who is known for his toughness, the least needed is the kind of subordinates who are competing for the flames and the most needed is the friends who can fight against him. This also explains why Ye Zhisheng was not reused, and that Wang Yuanqing did not choose to let Yan Jingyu take over in the end.

As the head of state, Gu Weimin definitely hopes to make a difference.

After taking office, in addition to continuing to promote political reform and implementing many specific policies, the most important thing he did in China was the "Green Mountains and Green Waters" plan. In the outside world, the industrial structure adjustment implemented by Ji Youguo and the political reform implemented by Wang Yuanqing are the soil and rainwater for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and the small "Green Mountains and Green Waters" plan is the first result on this basis. From a political perspective alone, even if you do this during your term of office in the old year, Gu Weimin will be kept in history and become one of the heads of state that has made the greatest contribution in the history of the Republic.

In other words, Gu Weimin focused on domestic construction.

In this case, Gu Weimin has a thousand reasons to oppose intervening in the Middle East War. In fact, from Gu Weimin's standpoint, you can understand that no matter what the Middle East will look like, what is the relationship with building a good country for the Chinese nation? When the needs of the descendants of Yan and Huang have not been fully met, what is the reason to help the Arabs? Besides, helping the Arabs is equivalent to offending the Jews. What are the benefits of doing so for the Republic?

If we consider that it is very likely to be defeated in the end, Gu Weimin would object even more.

The problem is that Gu Weimin is not Wang Yuanqing, but in fact he is far inferior to Wang Yuanqing.

Because he does not have the strategic vision of Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin would not consider it so long. Although Pei Chengyi did not know Yan Jingyu enough and did not know whether Yan Jingyu had such a long-term strategic vision, one thing is certain. As one of the people Wang Yuanqing trusted the most, Yan Jingyu would definitely adhere to Wang Yuanqing's development strategy. In other words, if the Middle East War was planned by Wang Yuanqing, Yan Jingyu would unswervingly carry it out.

In this way, Gu Weimin and Yan Jingyu will have great differences.

Because Wang Yuanqing's influence has not yet dissipated, there are not many people in the central government who support Yan Jingyu. In fact, no matter what, as long as Li Cunxun supports Yan Jingyu, Gu Weimin will not be able to do whatever he wants. Therefore, the central government must have differences on whether to intervene in the Middle East War, and there are big differences.

When Pei Chengyi thought of this, he looked at Liu Xiaobin on the screen.

"No matter what, you have to make a choice before you arrive in Beijing, Liu Xiaobin has already lit a third cigarette. "Although things have come to this point, we cannot escape unscathed, but in some cases, losing less is considered a win. Anyway, as a joint commander, you have a great say in the issue of war and have a great influence. Your opinions, especially your view of the ending, will definitely have an impact on the final decision."

"In other words, I have to take my life and bet on it."

"In fact, if you withdraw now, you won't lose anything, and at most you won't get anything."

"At this point, getting nothing is like losing everything. Do you think I can retreat?"

Liu Xiaobin smiled bitterly and said, "Since you think so, you have to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible and make full use of this opportunity to return to Beijing."

"The key is, I have to know how to use it."

"This" Liu Xiaobin destroyed the cigarette butts, lit the fourth cigarette, and said, "We talked about Su Jinhui before, but you should have a good talk with him. In any case, being able to become a general of the Republic's Army and being promoted during the reign of Mr. Zhao is enough to prove that he is a soldier who puts the interests of the country and the nation first, a soldier who deserves our respect and trust. Needless to say, Yuan Chenhao needs to be said, even if your relationship with him is not as good as before, as a young general, even if he has to do everything for his future. To put it bluntly, you only have one way out, that is, to complete this task that everyone thinks is impossible to complete."

"The problem is that faith is not omnipotent."

"But it is absolutely impossible to have no confidence, Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Some things do not need to be explained too clearly. With your mind, you should be clear that when everything is possible, it is definitely not wrong to make more preparations and leave more ways out. No matter what, after the Horse Island War, we have experienced setbacks. No matter what, many times when you look back, you will find that failure is far less terrible. The key is how to deal with the huge gap caused by failure. In reality, it is how to reduce the losses caused by failure, and whether there is a way to leave behind the capital to make a profit again when you fail."

“That is, I have to prepare myself for a way out.”

Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It seems that there is no need to beat around the bush when talking to you." The new address of this site has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read if you delete it!

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I understand what you mean, but this is very tricky. You also know that my situation is probably not much better than Su Jinhui. If you win, you will be able to say anything. If you lose, you may not even have the opportunity to return to the Physics Experiment Center for scientific research."

"No matter how I'm going to say it, I don't want you to fail."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and did not rush to speak.

"Although as a mere brigade general, my abilities are very limited. I am not afraid of you making jokes. After working in the Military Intelligence Bureau for several years, I am afraid that I have not used guns as much as you have received in the military academy. But when necessary, I will definitely provide you with some help within my ability. No matter what, you are a friend of the Military Intelligence Bureau, a friend of Lao Li, and even my friend. We are all for the interests of the country and the nation, not for our own selfish interests."

"It seems that I'm complicating the problem."

"It's much better to think more complicated than to think simpler."

Pei Chengyi nodded slightly and said, "Since that's the case, I will thank you first.

"Let me do this, I will send a senior agent to the Joint Command as soon as possible to be responsible for the liaison between us, so that it will also facilitate your contact with me."

Pei Chengyi agreed without thinking. In fact, Liu Xiaobin didn't take the initiative to propose it. He would all propose it.
