Volume 13 Moral Controversy Chapter 20 Major News
When Yan Jingchengyi went straight to the question, he generalized the "small order" provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau.
"Why didn't Liu Xiaobin deliver it to him in person?"
"He's going to Baghdad and will not be back in a few days..."
Yan Jingyu wrinkled his shoulders and opened the document and read it.
Pei Chengyi was not too long-winded. While the head of state was looking through the documents, he went to make a cup of coffee.
As mentioned earlier, after Li Cunxun, Liu Xiaobin only had the ability to harvest at most, and it was impossible to bring the Military Intelligence Bureau to a new height like Li Cunxun did. With Lin Xiaolei retiring at the end of the year, the battle between the Chief of General Staff and the Minister of Defense was over, and the Military Intelligence Bureau naturally returned to the rule of the Ministry of National Defense. In fact, as early as the first military reform implemented by Ji Jieguo, the Military Intelligence Bureau accepted the leadership of the Ministry of National Defense. After the second military reform implemented by Zhao Rundong, the superior agency of the Military Intelligence Bureau was already the Ministry of National Defense, not the General Staff, but was shocked to obey the dispatch of the General Staff in daily work.
Moreover, the General Staff controlled the appointment and removal power of important positions of the Military Intelligence Bureau by controlling the military personnel power. During the third military reform, Wang Yuanqing once again emphasized that the Military Intelligence Bureau was affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense in order to improve the independence of the Military Intelligence Bureau. After all, during Wang Yuanqing's administration, the Ministry of National Defense basically had no real power. With Pei Chengyi as Minister of National Defense in Zhaonian and regaining the budget power in Lishinian, and regaining the personnel power in Otter 7 years, the Military Intelligence Bureau led by Liu Xiaobin was also divided into two pounds. In the stage, it gradually returned to the governance of the Ministry of National Defense. The new address of this site has been changed to: Talk about 0 muscles and shoals. Please read Guangbai!
In the second half of the year, Pei Chengyi authorized Liu Xiaobin to integrate intelligence resources under various security-related ministries and commissions such as the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of State Security. Although in order to avoid the dictatorship of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Yan Jingyu did not make concessions in intelligence agencies other than security. He also asked Yan Shanglong and Shuai Yongkang to integrate diplomatic intelligence resources and economic intelligence resources respectively. In the end, the Military Intelligence Bureau, Foreign Intelligence Bureau Foreign Intelligence Bureau and Economic and Commercial Affairs Intelligence Bureau formed a three-legged intelligence system with their own specialties and their own duties.
However, the status of the Military Intelligence Bureau has not only not been reduced, but has been greatly improved. Because in this intelligence system, the Military Intelligence Bureau is the only intelligence department responsible for national strategic security and military security, and ranks first among the three major intelligence agencies.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
During the first term, Liu Xiaobin's performance was far inferior to Li Cunxun. Not to mention anything else, Liu Xiaobin was much worse than Li Cunxun in terms of employment alone. In the eyes of some "three dynasties veterans of the Military Intelligence Bureau, such as Cao Xuehua and others, Li Cunxun was the most "enlightened" director in the history of the Military Intelligence Bureau. Even Wang Yuanqing believed that Li Cunxun was a leader who knew how to use people very well and knew how to use good people. The year before yesterday, Liu Xiaobin gave the biggest impression that everything was fine and had to be taken care of, and he rarely gave his subordinates the opportunity to perform. Until the year came, it was probably because his energy was really not strong.
It was enough, and because of his age, Liu Xiaobin gradually let go, playing the role of a decision-maker, and handing over the things that needed to be done to his subordinates. It can be said that this is an amazing progress, at least in the eyes of many people. After four, Liu Xiaobin had some Li Cunxun. Of course, compared to Li Cunxun, Liu Xiaobin was still not so free and easy. As long as he involved major issues involving the fundamental interests of the country, he would work hard to take charge of himself. Otherwise, at this critical moment, he would not have thrown the task of reporting the situation to the head of state to Pei Chengyi and went to Baghdad by himself.
From another perspective, you can also find that Liu Xiaobin and Pei Chengyi have an extraordinary relationship.
Actually, I recommend it. In the year of the year, many people thought that Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and Liu Xiaobin were unbreakable iron triangles in the Republic's army. In the four, Pei Chengyi served as deputy prime minister of security, Yuan Chenhao served as director of the Operations Department of the General Staff and Liu Xiaobin was re-elected as director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, no one doubted the relationship between the three of them.
There is no doubt that in this iron triangle, the pinnacle must be Pei Chengyi, Yuan Chenhao and Liu Xiaobin are two at the fulcrum.
Although in the eyes of many people, the director of the Operations Department of the General Staff is much more important than the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau. There are three reasons:
After the General Staff was suppressed by the Ministry of Defense, its functional authority was greatly restricted. For example, at the beginning of personnel, the Logistics and Equipment Department, the Budget Office and other institutions became decorations, and only the replay of the combat office did not decrease but increased. Because the Ministry of Defense is an administrative agency, not a military command organization. Without a climate formation in the "Chief of Staff Committee", no organization under the Ministry of Defense can replace the General Staff’s Operations Department.
Second, Tang Yinglong retired the following year. Several army generals with equal influence as his were either retired or in other positions. The one who served as the chief of staff of the army was General Fang Xinzhong, who was much more experienced. Although he became famous in the Battle of the Five Elders of the Peninsula War, Fang Xinzhong's life was not comfortable after the Peninsula War. It was not until the year of the year, that is, the year before he became the chief of staff of the Army. It can be seen that as Pei Chengyi gradually left the army, and it is very likely that Yuan Chenhao was already the most influential general in the Republic's Army when he took off his military uniform at the age of 2008.
The third is the special relationship between Yuan Chenhao and Pei Chengyi. As a partner of the Indian War and the Middle East War, Yuan Chenhao followed Pei Chengyi to fight and made great contributions twice. The relationship between him and Pei Chengyi can be imagined. In the eyes of many people, Yuan Chenhao is not only Pei Chengyi's most capable subordinate, but also has the second Pei Chengyi. Therefore, when Pei Chengyi talks to the peak of power in the Republic, Yuan Chenhao is definitely the most important supporter.
But everyone who knows the situation knows that Liu Xiaobin is the most important person by Pei Chengyi's side. At least for two years, even Yuan Chenhao could not replace Liu Xiaobin.
When Pei Chengyi finished drinking a cup of coffee, Yan Jingyu turned to the last page of the document.
Although it was only roughly gone, Yan Jingyu's expression had become very serious. As the previous heads of state commented, as an intelligence agency, the Military Intelligence Bureau has always reported bad news but not good news. As long as it has major news related to the Military Intelligence Bureau, it must be bad news.
Although this is a bit extreme, it is completely correct at this time.
After closing the document, Yan Jingyu pondered for a while. It was not until Pei Chengyi brewed another cup of coffee that he put down the document, picked up the cigarette on the coffee table, and started smoking.
Pei Chengyi was still very patient. He knew that the head of state would definitely take the initiative to break the silence.
"It seems that if we don't cause trouble, we will come to the door on our own initiative." Yan Jingyu smiled bitterly and wiped out the Internet and smoked one-third of the cigarettes. From this action, it can be seen that he was very polite to Pei Chengyi, because Pei Chengyi was one of the few senior leaders of the Republic who quit smoking. "No matter what, it's not eight years ago now. Since we come to the door on our own initiative, we have to find a way to solve it.
"Liu Xiaobin will be back in a few days
"If you gain something, he will contact us at any time. Besides, you have visited Baghdad several times and are very familiar with the Iraqi authorities. I don't think Liu Xiaobin will get anything, and it's probably a waste of time to go there again
"No matter how small the hope is, not fighting for it means giving up voluntarily."
Yan Jingyu nodded, knowing that Pei Chengyi was talking to Liu Xiaobin. "No matter what, Liu Xiaobin should not waste precious time in Baghdad."
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly. He knew that Yan Jingyu had always been unsatisfied with Liu Xiaobin's style of doing things.
"How reliable do you think is this intelligence?" Yan Jingyu took the initiative to change the topic. In any case, the Military Intelligence Bureau is the most important intelligence agency in the Republic, and Liu Xiaobin is also Pei Chengyi's most important partner. As the head of state, Yan Jingyu does not need to blame Liu Xiaobin too much in front of Pei Chengyi.
"It has been rated as Class A." Pei Chengyi looked at the cover of the document, which clearly marked the word "A.". According to the intelligence rating standards of the Military Intelligence Bureau, because the English letters are used to indicate the level of confidentiality of intelligence, the "Heavenly Stems" are used to identify the reliability of intelligence. The "A" level is the highest level.
"In other words, if you win ten times and have a lot of money, there will definitely be no unexpected situation?"
Pei Chengyi nodded, knowing that Yan Jingyu was still a little hesitant, so he reiterated: "In fact, when I visited Baghdad and Damascus for the second time two years ago, Syria and Iraq gave hints on this issue, but we were eager to solve the Kurdistan issue at that time. So we did not pay attention to it. According to convention, after the visit, I handed over the relevant matters to Liu Xiaobin and asked the Military Intelligence Bureau to collect intelligence.
There is something wrong with Yingran Liu Xiaobin's method of doing things, but we have no reason to doubt his business quality. If it weren't for the exact and reliable information, he wouldn't have sent it here, let alone go to Baghdad to figure out the situation in person.
Yan Jingyu lit a second cigarette and waited for Pei Chengyi to continue talking.
This action shows that the head of state is already thinking about the problem seriously, because only when thinking about Lu questions seriously can Yan Jingyu not pay much attention to the feelings of the people around him.
"Eight years ago, we won the Northern Front, but failed to give an explanation on the Southern Front that satisfies the Syrian authorities. Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "Although we have been fulfilling the promise we made over the years to help Syria carry out modernization, we have always been in debt, and this is the key to limiting our Middle East policies."
Yan Jingyu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression seemed to have subsided.
What Pei Chengyi mentioned was not a small matter that is optional, light or serious, but a key event that concerns whether the Republic can successfully break out of the surrounding areas, move to the world, and become the world hegemon. In the final analysis, the Republic vigorously promoted "demonism" after the Middle East War." After the Middle East War, the Republic vigorously promoted "demonism" to replace the United States' "hegemonism". If it cannot fulfill its promise and take the interests of allies, why should Arab countries in the Middle East believe in "demonism" and put it into the arms of the Republic?
Saving your promise is definitely not a simple matter.
As Pei Chengyi said, the Republic owes Syria a small amount and wants to fulfill its promise, it must help Syria regain the provinces of Dera and Kunetra controlled by the United States and Israel. In this way, the Republic has to tear up the armistice agreement and provoke a war. Because this is a war without reason, the Republic is destined to be in a dilemma. Of course, there is no solution. When Pei Chengyi first visited Damascus, he said that after the armistice agreement expires, that is, the year of the year, the Republic will consider sending troops to help Syria recover lost territory. During his second visit to Damascus, Pei Chengyi also had the Syrian authorities on time. If the United States and Israel tore up the armistice agreement, the Republic will send troops.
It seems that Pei Chengyi's guarantee played a role. Starting from the end of the year, armed attacks on the occupying forces in the US-Israeli coalition occupied areas have increased sharply. The thug of Yucco-nian whistleblower and the US-Israeli officers and soldiers were killed and injured. Fortunately, Landers temporarily changed his itinerary the day before and stayed in Tel Aviv, and did not go to the US-Israeli coalition occupied areas in the south of Dela Province.
Due to the restrictions of the armistice treaty, the US-Israeli coalition forces did not carry out retaliatory strikes, but only had martial law in the occupied areas for several months.
The problem is that the attacks on the US-Israeli coalition have not ended, but have become more and more intense.
The 8th year was the worst year for the US-Israeli coalition forces to die in the occupied areas since the armistice came into effect. A total of thugs, four American soldiers and Israeli soldiers died. The new address of this site has been changed to: 0 chatting about fetal muscles and see Shan, please read it!
As the year of fierce violence begins, the attacks against the US-Israeli coalition continue to escalate.
According to the news released by the US-Israeli coalition headquarters in mid-July, in the first half of the year, US military officers and soldiers died in the battles of attacks and counterattacks.
As the violent attacks intensify, the patience of the US-Israeli coalition will soon reach its limit.
It is precisely this way, the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau clearly mentioned that with the intensification of violent attacks against the US-Israeli coalition forces secretly supported by the Syrian authorities, the US-Israeli coalition forces may tear up the armistice agreement at any time, or Israel unilaterally disrupt the armistice agreement. According to the guarantee made by Pei Chengyi in Damascus in the old month of four years, the Republic will definitely send troops when Syria is invaded, and will definitely do its best to help Syria win and recover lost territory. Although the current situation is also mentioned in the intelligence, that is, the new US president will definitely restrain his foreign policy, and even promise to voters during the campaign to withdraw troops from southern Syria as soon as possible, no one can underestimate Israel's courage. Especially when the lives of Israeli soldiers are seriously threatened, the Israeli authorities are likely to retaliate regardless of the consequences, thus providing Syria with a reason to start a war.
That is to say, the Republic is in danger of being involved in a large-scale war.
Of course, this is just one of the problems.
When Yan Jingyu turned his eyes, Pei Chengyi continued: "The Syrian problem is relatively easy to solve. As long as the Israeli authorities are a little rational, they will not create a war before Kunnian. Even if they take a step back, the Israeli authorities have launched a retaliatory strike against Syria. As long as the Israeli army does not cross the ceasefire line, we don't have to worry about being involved in the war and even have the opportunity to stabilize Syria. In fact, the real trouble comes from Iraq."
Yan Jingyu smiled bitterly, and after extinguishing the second cigarette, he lit the third cigarette.
"According to the description in the intelligence, the ambitions of the Saurak authorities have been ignited, otherwise, they would not have had the idea of attacking Kuwait at this time."
"The question is, what benefits can such a war bring to us?"
“The key depends on what we want.”
Yan Jingyu frowned slightly and then started to laugh.
Historically, Kuwait has always been a part of Iraq. It was not until the end of the old century that it became a British colony and gained independence after World War II. The thug was a thug. Saddam sent troops to annex Kuwait on this ground, which triggered the largest regional war in the second half of the century and the largest gap in strength.
As Iraq once again becomes a powerful country in the Gulf region, Iraqi authorities have once again set their sights on Kuwait.
For the Iraqi president, it seems that only by "recovering" Kuwait can he prove his civil and military achievements, and he prepared for this as early as after the end of the Middle East War.
The problem is that the Republic has not interfered in this.
This is the "purpose" mentioned by Pei Chengyi. That is, whether the ultimate goal of the Republic's Middle East strategy is to help the Arab world complete the great cause of unification. If so, then on the IKO issue, the Republic has to judge the situation and suppress the arrogance of the Iraqi authorities. The reason is simple. If Iraq sends troops to annex Kuwait again. Even if Uncle Sam cannot launch the second Gulf War like the four formers, the Republic will not expect to gain benefits, because the Middle Eastern countries in the Gulf region will definitely put themselves in the arms of the United States again in order to protect themselves, which will become a stumbling block to stop the Arab world from moving towards unification.
The key is here. Should the Republic actively help the Arab world toward unification?
Although this is a problem that does not exist at all in the outside world, because the Republic has clearly supported the Arab countries towards reunification before the Middle East War, any politician knows that the Republic will never help the Arab world to complete the great cause of reunification unconditionally. It can even be said that in the foreseeable future, the great cause of Arab reunification is a means for the Republic to attack the United States, not the purpose of the struggle.
In fact, the Republican authorities have not formed a consensus on this issue.
It is precisely because when this issue is mentioned, Pei Chengyi will make the problem clear. In any case, when the head of state did not give a pound of the ultimate goal of the Middle East strategy and a clear reply, as Minister of National Defense, Pei Chengyi has no reason to make a decision on behalf of Yan Jingyu.
