Volume 3 The Storm in the East China Sea Chapter 71 The Breath of Winter
Before dawn, Zhao Rundong and Huang Guowei arrived at the head of state
After learning that the head of state went to bed in the middle of the night, the two took the initiative to go to the living room to chat and pass the time to prepare tea for the two ministers. Wang Yuanqing started his day's work.
Ji Youguo is used to getting up before dawn, having breakfast before 7 o'clock, and starting work at 7 o'clock
As the head of state personal secretary, Wang Yuanqing not only prepared breakfast for the head of state, but also had to prepare the day's work arrangement in order before the head of state came to Xipuyuan study. If a major event occurs, he had to prepare relevant documents in advance. He called to notify officials who needed to interview the work. Generally speaking, in addition to the private affairs of the head of state, Wang Yuanqing was the "master housekeeper" of the head of state.
While having breakfast, Ji Youguo finished reading two and participated in three morning reports.
"Are Pang Xinglong and Huang Guowei coming?"
"The Foreign Minister has arrived, the Prime Minister is still on the way, and the Minister of Defense has also come."
"Zhao Rundong?" Ji Youguo frowned slightly, "What are he here to do?"
"I called last night and I asked him to come here in the morning."
Ji Youguo nodded slightly, "How long have they been?"
"I've been chatting in the living room for a while."
"Let them go to the study room" Ji Youguo sighed. "Old Zhao is in a hurry to find me, it must be Peng Maobang who called him and asked him to test my tone."
"Test your breath?" Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Mr. Peng can't even afford to lose a box of cigarettes, right?"
"Smoking is a small matter Peng Maobang must want to figure out my attitude towards the next stage of military operations." Ji Youguo also smiled and said, "He has a very serious temper and has a serious mind and doesn't want to suffer any losses. You should clean up quickly and prepare tea and I will change my clothes and go to the study."
Wang Yuanqing nodded and packed his cups and plates and left the restaurant
Five minutes later, wearing "work clothes", Ji Youguo came to the study, unlike other leaders of other countries, Ji Youguo never wore a suit. In everyone's impression, he always had a dark blue or dark gray Zhongshan suit. On some grand occasions, he would use short Tang suits instead of Zhongshan suits.
When I arrived at the study in advance, Zhao Rundong and Huang Guowei got up immediately
"Sit as you like, don't be too polite." Ji Youguo walked up to the two of them with a smile, "Old Zhao, I heard from Wang Yuanqing that you called last night?"
"It was midnight at that time. I heard that you had already gone to bed and rested, so I didn't let Xiao Wang disturb your dream."
"Is there anything wrong?" Ji Youguo sat down, then waved to the two of them, letting them sit down and talk.
"It's nothing big," Zhao Rundong picked up the cigarette on the table. "After receiving the second phase of the battle report, Lao Peng called me and asked if he would start the third phase of the battle operation as soon as possible.
”
"Old Peng?" Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile, "I left the General Staff at around 12 o'clock last night. When did he call you?"
Zhao Rundong was stunned, then laughed and said, "This old Peng is not a big deal, I want me to be a microphone."
"I think I should suppress the third phase of combat operation. As for why, I will explain later." Ji Youguo looked at Huang Guowei next to him, "Guowei, don't talk about it for now, let me guess the reason why you arrived early in the morning."
Huang Guowei blinked his eyelids and showed a smile.
Hearing the conversation between the head of state and Zhao Rundong, Huang Guowei knew that the head of state and the chief of staff had a bad relationship.
After pondering for a while, Ji Youguo smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, you just received a diplomatic note from the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs? To put it more in detail, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs took the initiative to suspend military operations and negotiate to resolve the Diaoyu Islands dispute, right?"
"First of the People, I just received the news. How do you know so clearly?"
Zhao Rundong looked surprised and looked at Ji Youguo a little unbelievable.
"I don't know, I just guessed, but I didn't expect it to be guessed," Ji Youguo smiled and said, "The Japanese government played a good card that we cannot avoid. If we do not agree to the ceasefire negotiation, world public opinion, especially the Western media, will describe us as militant invaders. If we agree to the ceasefire negotiation, we will lose the initiative and the advantages we gain will disappear. Do you think Japan will admit defeat?"
Huang Guowei frowned and said, "Japan will definitely not admit defeat, otherwise he would not propose a ceasefire negotiation at this time."
Huang Guowei did not say the specific reason, and all three people sitting were aware of it.
Armistice negotiations are a continuation of war conflicts. In the words of Westerners, "What you cannot get on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiating table." For Japan, after turning the situation around the war and at least recovering the defeat, then proposing a truce negotiations can only gain benefits at the negotiating table. In the event of military failure, Japan will not only not get any benefits, but will also be forced to sign a truce treaty that is powerless and humiliating. Signing a truce treaty that is humiliating and injuring national dignity. A truce treaty that harms national interests will immediately collapse the Japanese cabinet government and make the Democrats leave the ruling stage forever.
Without any benefit, will the Japanese government sincerely conduct armistice negotiations with the Republic?
"The Foreign Minister is right," Zhao Rundong said with a sigh, "Japan proposed a ceasefire negotiation at this time, no
Adjust military deployment and obtain US aid to buy time”
"If you want to understand Japan's intentions, the solution is very simple," Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said to Huang Guowei. "From the overall strategy, we have to worry about the pressure of international public opinion, and we must also care about the international image of the Republic. We cannot reject Japan's request for a ceasefire negotiation, but we can make a fuss in the negotiations."
"How to make an article?" Huang Guowei immediately asked him to find the head of state, just to ask about this matter
"The same sentence, you can raise prices all over the world and pay back the money." Ji Youguo glanced at the Foreign Minister, "Take the price higher, don't limit it to the Diaoyu Islands, add everything you can think of. If Japan is sincerely negotiating, it will propose a reasonable negotiation price code and fight with us. If Japan intends to use negotiations to gain time, it will give in blindly, and will not fight against us, and will not sign any formal agreements with us when negotiating, pay attention to the strategy."
Huang Guowei nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements immediately and prepare for negotiations as soon as possible."
"There is also publicity work. We will announce the news as soon as possible and say that Japan has taken the initiative to propose a ceasefire negotiation. Our side agreed to a ceasefire in the principle of peaceful settlement of the dispute. We negotiate with Japan to resolve the dispute anyway, so that the whole world knows that war was not initiated by us, and we don't want to use war to resolve the problem."
Before Huang Guowei could get up, Wang Yuanqing brought Pang Xinglong to the study room
"Just received the news," Pang Xinglong said, nodding at Wang Yuanqing, "The Prime Minister of the Japanese Cabinet will hold a press conference in five minutes and send it to me directly."
Wang Yuanqing turned on the TV, and the eyes of several people turned on the TV screen.
The studio host of the International News Channel is talking to the reporters in front to inquire about the relevant situation of the Japanese Prime Minister's Office's press release center
Ji Youguo frowned slightly and asked Wang Yuanqing to turn his voice down a little.
"It's obvious that Japan is preparing to take the initiative," Ji Youguo smiled coldly and said, "Guowei, hurry up and prepare and announce the news as soon as possible."
Huang Guowei immediately stood up and said goodbye
"In addition to diplomatic statements and public opinion propaganda, I'm afraid I have to put some effort into other aspects."
Ji Youguo nodded, affirmed Zhao Rundong's statement, and asked Pang Xinglong: "How are you preparing for what I talked to you yesterday?"
"The report has just been written," Pang Xinglong handed a document to Ji Youguo. "Most experts believe that Japan's possibility of attacking my country's financial market is very high. The preliminary analysis concluded that after Japan obtains WB loans, it will take three to five days to transfer funds, and the total investment will not be less than one trillion US dollars. Then, international hot money will flock to it, and our financial system will suffer a severe test. In addition to the financial system, Japan may also blow up my country's real estate bubble, increase investment scale in consumption and pollution industries, and launch a comprehensive blow to my country's economy."
Ji Youguo nodded slightly, flipped through the documents casually, and said, "What are our countermeasures?"
"Implement relevant policies, use national reserves, encourage domestic investors, and join hands with private enterprises..." Pang Xinglong said a lot, and finally said, "All preparations for dealing with the financial crisis have been carried out. Only passive response can only cause us to have conflicts with Japan in the financial field, and the result will inevitably be a loss-making loss for both sides.
To stop the financial crisis, the best way is to let Japan retreat.”
"I'm afraid it's impossible to retreat when we see the difficulties." Ji Youguo smiled faintly, "But we have a way to deal with Japan. In addition, I think international hot money should be brought to a more oily and more attractive market in order to fundamentally resolve the financial crisis."
Pang Xinglong hesitated for a moment and said, "I have the same idea as well, but there are not many ways to use it."
"We will talk about this in two days," Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "Your main task is to stabilize the domestic market and withstand the strong winds and waves outside. No matter what, the financial market cannot be chaotic, the economic order cannot be chaotic, and industrial reform cannot be stopped. As long as we withstand this round of impact, the future will be brighter."
Pang Xinglong didn't talk much, and stood up and said, "I'll go back and hold meetings of various departments of the State Council to implement relevant policies."
Ji Youguo nodded and signaled Wang Yuanqing to send the Prime Minister out.
After Pang Xinglong left the study, Zhao Rundong said, "Old Ji, how big the matter is this time, I'm afraid it won't end."
"Who doesn't want us to end, we won't let him end," Ji Yuguo smiled coldly and said, "What I really want to deal with is that if the United States has no US government intervention, will WB immediately issue loans to Japan? Without WB loans, Japan cannot even calm down the domestic financial crisis. What should we do to deal with us? I said six years ago that the financial storm has not ended, but it is just temporarily halted. Since someone wants to provoke a financial war at this time, we will let the whole world enter winter and see who can survive until the end!"
Zhao Rundong was very shocked. Ji Youguo had a lot of fun this time
