The meal is a little simple, the atmosphere is a bit tense

From sitting at the table, Huang Guowei, who is good at observing words and expressions, he burys his head at eating, like a disaster victim who fled to famine.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Peng Maobang understood Ji Youguo's idea, and didn't even move the chopsticks. When Wang Yuanqing brought people to clean up the dining table, more than a dozen cigarette butts appeared in the ashtray in front of the Chief of Staff.

Ji Youguo has a good appetite. He ate two big bowls of dry rice and drank a bowl of pickled cabbage and radish soup.

"Xiao Wang, go and make three cups of snow lotus tea that Xiao Ji gave." Ji Youguo smiled and said to Peng Maobang, "This snow lotus tea is a good thing. It can clear away heat and relieve fire and cure constipation. If it weren't for Xiao Jito's people bringing it back, we wouldn't have such a good treat."

Peng Maobang was full of silence in his heart, and his expression was very ugly

Huang Guowei laughed secretly and dared to joke with the Chief of Staff. Ji Youguo is probably the only one in the world.

Wang Yuanqing was also very "true" and honestly brewed three cups of snow lotus tea.

“Change me a cup of green tea

"Huang Guowei called the head of state secretary, "I have been having diarrhea these days, and I can't bear it."

Wang Yuanqing immediately changed the cup of green tea for the Foreign Minister

"It's still a foreign minister who is very smart and does not have so many bad habits in us." Ji Youguo picked up a cigarette and lit it for Peng Maobang first. "Old Peng is not me, you said you were so excited and decisive thirty years ago, you were so brave and decisive, and you dared to do something. No one said you would think you were an excellent soldier. Now you are the chief of staff commander of thousands of troops. As the commander of the army, many of your tempers have to be changed."

"Old Ji, you don't know what kind of person I am." Peng Maobang breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm just a soldier Thirty years ago, I took a rifle to kill the enemy. Now I can't go to the battlefield. I can also command the troops to fight. Many bad tempers can't be changed in this life."

Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head and asked, "What are the responsibilities of soldiers?"

Peng Maobang was stunned for a moment and said, "Defending the country is the fundamental responsibility of the soldier."

"How can we defend our country?" Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "If war can solve all problems, will we still need diplomats like Huang Guowei? You have been a soldier for decades and experienced several wars and have seen how the armies of other countries and regions fight. Do you tell me that war can solve all problems?"

Peng Maobang could not answer the question of Jiyou Country and Country

"I have never been a soldier, have not systematically studied military science, and do not know much about military theory. But I know that modern warfare not only fights the combat effectiveness of the army, but also the comprehensive national strength of the country, especially economic and technological strength. Regardless of how much money the United States consumed in the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars, the Fourth India-Pakistan War lasted for half a month, our participation in the war was less than 30 hours, and the direct military expenditure was more than 30 billion yuan. Including the aid to Pakistan, the total expenditure was more than 70 billion yuan. If we do not have strong economic strength as a backing, can we afford such a war?"

"You're right, but..."

"It's good to understand," Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I knew that General Peng is not an unreasonable person. I told you before that it is difficult to achieve significant results in military strikes against countries like Japan, but will have counterproductive results. In the morning, I turned over the book called "Super Limit Warfare". Many of the arguments in it make sense. Since the US military established the Cyber ​​Operations Command a few years ago, dozens of countries have successively established relevant or similar military departments, strengthening the extraordinary work of the army.

The military strategy is full of warfare. It is the best way to defeat others without fighting. Although we cannot reach this level, we must try new tactics and new theories. We cannot stick to the old ways. The military reforms we are implementing not only establish a more reasonable military system, but also provide a growth environment for emerging military theories. Only by making great progress in theory can we fundamentally exert the potential of new weapons and point out the direction for the development of military technology. As the chief of staff, you cannot set an example. How can you convince millions of soldiers?"

After some words, Peng Maobang was completely speechless

Huang Guowei secretly cheered the head of state on the side. This "reason" combines theoretical basis and reveals the actual situation. Not to mention that Peng Maobang is just a soldier who is not very good at eloquence, even if he is an eloquent diplomat, he cannot refute Ji Youguo's views.

"I said, our Chief of Staff is not willing to be a supporting role, and he is unwilling to be a supporting role," Ji Youguo smiled and said, "On this big stage, each of us is a supporting role for national rejuvenation. We must be a supporting role. Only when every supporting role is dedicated and dedicated, can the Chinese nation as the protagonist become a star that is highly anticipated and the focus on the stage Lao Peng, is it reasonable for you to say what I said?"

Peng Maobang took a few puffs of cigarettes, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Lao Ji, you shouldn't be the head of state."

"Is that so? Then what should I do?"

"TV host" Peng Maobang also laughed, "I have never admired others in my life, and you are the only one who can convince me."

"This is serious" Ji Youguo laughed happily

"Now, I have to be convinced if I don't accept it." Peng Maobang lit another cigarette, "You are right. It's better to be a supporting role than a supporting role than a supporting role

”

"Old Peng, I didn't joke with you." Ji Youguo stopped his smile. "This action will affect the situation in the Western Pacific region in the next ten years, or even twenty years. Our surrounding environment will be significantly improved. It is even expected that the Taiwan issue will be resolved peacefully. We will face a difficult situation of being embattled, and national rejuvenation will become far away."

Peng Maobang's eyebrows immediately locked together

Huang Guowei was also secretly shocked, feeling that the head of state said too seriously

"I say this, not an exaggeration, forcing you to support my decision." Ji Youguo saw the thoughts of the two. "Although our relationship with Japan has eased after the Democratic Party came to power, what happened in the past seven years proves that the Democratic Party failed to let Japan get rid of the influence of the United States. The "US-Japan Alliance" is still Japan's fundamental policy. The conflict in the East China Sea can be big or small. No matter what the result is, the Democratic Party will lose next year's general election. By then, it is not necessarily the Liberal Democratic Party, but it is likely the right-wing party alliance."

"Maybe the situation will be worse," Huang Guowei couldn't help but interrupt.

Ji Yukyu nodded slightly and said, "Our resentment with Japan has not been resolved. Whether it is the right-wing alliance coming to power or other situations, our relationship with Japan will deteriorate drastically. The reform of the Republic will be sharply deteriorated to a critical point. Whether with the United States or Japan, a comprehensive confrontation will make our reform lose its essence. According to the blueprint of reform, we still need three to four five-year plans to complete the reform. To make the Republic a world power. If we want to gain this period of time, in addition to promoting the "diversification" of the international situation, we must also defeat Japan and eliminate the threats around us."

"That requires a total war," Peng Maobang muttered

"We cannot withstand a full-scale war, we can only settle for the second best, so that Japan cannot pose a threat to us within 15 to 20 years," Ji Yuguo did not change the topic and continued, "This is why I focus on cracking down on the Japanese economy. A long-term recession is enough to make Japan retreat for decades when we complete the reform and establish a more perfect national system. It is not too late to deal with Japan. What we must do is to create a more ideal development environment for future generations and lay the foundation for national rejuvenation. Maybe we will not see the day when the Chinese nation revitalizes the might of the Han and Tang dynasties in our lifetime, but I believe that as long as every generation of descendants of Yan and Huang remembers the shame a hundred years ago and continues to strive for self-improvement, the Chinese nation will start from our generation and embark on a great road of rejuvenation."

"Everything we have done is worthy of our ancestors and our descendants," Peng Maobang's emotions became excited. "A hundred years ago, the Chinese nation did not perish under the iron hooves of the enemy. Now, the Chinese nation will not fall under the encirclement of the great powers. One day, the whole world will know that a nation that has lived and reproduced for five thousand years is by no means a second-class nation, but the best nation!"

"This requires even more selfless dedication."

Peng Maobang nodded, "I figured it out, it doesn't matter whether it is a supporting role. As long as it can play an important role, it's okay to play a supporting role."

Ji Youguo smiled and said, "It's not our chief of staff to play a supporting role."

"You can't say that. Each character has different roles, so playing a supporting role is also considered an actor!"

"If Lao Peng can figure it out, I will have no worries."

After chatting for a while, Wang Yuanqing took Zhao Rundong and Pan Yunsheng to the study room

"I'll just say that Lao Peng is not in the General Staff, so I must have gone to Lao Ji to improve the food." Seeing that the head of state and the chief of staff were talking and laughing, the foreign minister was also full of spring breeze, Pan Yunsheng joked unscrupulously.

"What improves food? I'm not full for dinner yet!" Peng Maobang, who was excited, didn't care so much.

"I didn't have enough to eat, could it be that I even asked the Chief of Staff to have a meeting hungry?" Ji Youguo called Wang Yuanqing over, "I asked the kitchen to prepare a few small stir-frys, and I won't have any wine."

"How can I do without wine?"

"Then let's have a few bottles of beer." Ji Youguo didn't talk to Peng Maobang, and told Wang Yuanqing, "It's not important to prepare some pastries and fruits and make a few cups of tea again. Don't let someone disturb us."

Soon, Wang Yuanqing brought someone to deliver the food.

When Peng Maobang was busy pacifying the internal organs that were about to rebel, Ji Youguo introduced the situation to Zhao Rundong and explained his basic ideas.

As Ji Youguo expected, Zhao Rundong did not oppose strategic decisions based on economic strikes.

The remaining question is how to combine military strikes with economic strikes
