Ji Youguo was thinking about the problem, and Pan Yunsheng asked the guard to make a pot of tea.

"The current situation is enough to make Lao Zhao decide to send troops." Ji Youguo paused for a moment and said, "Three issues must be considered before making a decision."

"What are the three questions?" Pan Yunsheng lit the third cigarette.

"First, will it cause us to have a comprehensive conflict with the West.

”

Yun Sheng nodded, and he was also considering this issue.

"After the Lao military coup, there must be a shadow of the United States and Vietnam. The border area of ​​Vietnam's military service is clearly showing that it will overthrow the old pro-China government at all means and support the pro-Qi Vietnam and pro-US puppet regime in Laos. We will inevitably have conflicts with Vietnam." Ji Youguo looked at the cigarettes on the table again, shook his head with a smile, and said, "So, when making the decision to send troops, we must prepare for a ground war with Vietnam. Although with the combat effectiveness of our army, we can defeat Vietnam without any effort, we have to consider a longer-term future."

"USA?"

Ji Youguo nodded. "If it were Vietnam alone, not only would it not be necessary to worry about anything, but it could also take this opportunity to resolve the dispute between us and Vietnam. If we consider the factors of the United States, we have to worry that this is a trap and trap set by the United States specifically for us. Think about it, the United States is trapped in the quagmire of the Iranian War, not only will the loss of troops, but the domestic anti-war call is growing, but we are working hard and carrying out economic construction. Will the United States feel good? The United States regards us as a real threat and puts forward the Cold War with us, and will definitely try its best to hinder our progress. A large-scale regional war, and a ground war, is enough to hinder our development."

Pan Yunsheng nodded again and said, "So, Lao Zhao is very hesitant on this issue."

"We have to hesitate. Even if it is me, I will hesitate." Ji Youguo smiled bitterly and said. "This is just one reason. If we start a war with Vietnam, should we take the opportunity to recover the Nansha Islands? If we want to, how to deal with the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei and Indonesia?"

"Let go when you can..."

"It's certainly not possible!" Yuguo immediately rejected Pan Yunsheng's idea. "If we only regain the islands occupied by Vietnam, it will inevitably cause doubts from the Philippines and other countries to be in the arms of the United States faster. Will it be easy to wait a few years, or more than ten years to recover other islands? Of course, solving the problem at one time will also make the Philippines and other countries to be in the arms of the United States. But as long as the territorial and territorial waters disputes are resolved, we can adopt more flexible and pragmatic policies in diplomacy and use the global depression to make a big economic stance. It won't take ten years. As long as we regain the Nansha Islands and the South China Sea territorial waters, it becomes a fait accompli. Southeast Asian countries will change their minds. At least they will not follow the United States to deal with us."

"You're the second question to ask:?"

Ji Youguo nodded. "This issue is very critical. If you want to take this opportunity to recover the Nansha Islands, the scale of military operations will be very large. Military expenditure alone will reach hundreds of billions of yuan. Is the country able to bear this expenditure? Will it have a negative impact on domestic development? As a national leader, you must consider it comprehensively. I think Lao Zhao must have considered these issues. Therefore, he did not make a decision immediately."

"It seems that I misunderstood Lao Zhao."

"Misunderstanding doesn't matter, as long as you believe in Lao Zhao's ability." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "The third question, maybe Lao Zhao didn't consider it."

"What's the problem?" Pan Yunsheng frowned slightly.

"After the war is over, how should we deal with our relationship with Southeast Asian countries?" Ji You Guojun exclaimed and said, "This war will inevitably involve several Southeast Asian countries. There are also conflicts between Southeast Asian countries. Cambodia and Myanmar are obviously biased towards us and benefited from our industrial structure adjustment; Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia are obviously biased towards the United States, hoping to get benefits from the United States; Thailand is nominally neutral, but actually has a closer relationship with us; although Singapore has established national security on a quasi-alliance with the United States, it has never turned against us due to ethnic relations; only Malaysia is truly neutral and has not turned to any side. If we fight fiercely on the Indochina Peninsula and the South China Sea, it will inevitably completely disrupt the pattern of Southeast Asia and have a great impact on future development."

“This is really a serious problem.”

"If it is handled well, it will be of great help to our development. If it is handled well, the result will be difficult to imagine." Ji Yuguo rubbed his hands and resisted the urge to hold the cigarette. "The United States provides Vietnam with a large number of weapons and equipment. Why? If it is just to deal with second-hand weapons, why not provide it to other countries, such as the pro-US governments of Iraq and Afghanistan? Look at the situation around us, Japan has embarked on the road of militarism. Even if the United States is willing to support Japan in confrontation with us, it must keep its hands to avoid the second "Pearl Harbor incident". India is suffering in the economic crisis and it is difficult to even take care of itself in the short term. Why do we cause trouble for us? The situation on the Korean Peninsula has become stable, and South Korea certainly does not want to be a "subordinate".

The only thing that can cause trouble for us is Southeast Asian countries. The weapons and equipment of the United States are worth at least 10 billion US dollars. With the US local policy, so much is paid, we will definitely seek rewards."

"The United States will never do a loss-making business."

"Not only will we not be able to trade at a loss, but we will also attack multiple places." Ji Youguo smiled faintly, "In terms of foreign expansion, the United States has unmatched experience. Just look at the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union. In order to attack the Soviet Union, the United States not only has many tricks, but also attaches great importance to the overall strategy. At the same time, the United States will definitely secretly support the Philippines and other countries, striving to pull more Southeast Asian countries onto the "American chariot". The South China Sea War begins, and we have to deal with not only a few small Southeast Asian countries, but also the United States."

"This is for sure, Lao Zhao must have thought of it."

"Thinking that it's useless, it depends on whether there is a solution." Ji Youguo smiled faintly and said, "Of course, I believe in Lao Zhao's ability."

"Old Ji, don't turn the corner." Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly.

"I've already, it's okay to analyze the bureau, what can I say randomly."

"We are the only one here, what are we afraid of?"

"I'm afraid, I heard that Lao Peng was told by you."

"What?" Pan Yunsheng was stunned and then laughed, "You bet on Lao Peng? Didn't Lao Peng tell me, otherwise how would I know?"

Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile and said, "You are talking everywhere, which makes Lao Peng feel embarrassed."

"He has no face? It's completely impossible. Now he is still proud of it."

"No matter what, you guys like to gossip everywhere."

"I just told Lao Zhao that I have never mentioned it."

"Okay, I won't care about this matter with you." Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "The solution is very simple, just stick to one principle."

"What principle?" Pan Yunsheng asked immediately.

"Treat differently and resolve peacefully."

Pan Yunsheng frowned slightly. "What do you mean..."

"Don't fight in one go. If you focus on whom, attack whom you are secondary, and who don't attack, you must make sure in advance. You must consider it fully when making military deployments, and do not make any mistakes in order to make the order. If a dispute can be resolved peacefully, you must try your best to fight. Of course, the effect will be better if you use military means."

Pan Yunsheng quickly thought about it and understood the meaning of Ji Youguo.

"Remember, don't say it was me." Ji Youguo glanced at his watch and said, "No one should know when you come out. Don't tell Lao Zhao that he has come to see me after he goes back, let alone talk to me about these things."

"Old Ji, Lao Zhao is not the kind of petty person, there is no need..."

"Of course it is necessary. Lao Zhao is the head of state. I am the outdated head of state. If I make trouble on national policies, even if Lao Zhao doesn't have any ideas, it is hard to guarantee that others will not have any ideas." Ji Youguo smiled and said, "I still want to live a few decades of quiet life. Don't mess with me."

Pan Yunsheng smiled bitterly and could only nod and agreed.

At this time, Qin Aoshuang came to the restaurant.

"Xiao Pan, when will I come?" Qin Aoshuang was a little surprised when he saw Pan Yunsheng, "I didn't expect that you still have time to see us."

"Xiao Pan is a busy person, so there is no time to spare."

"Old Ji, it's wrong to say that. No matter how busy I'm going to take time to see you." Pan Yunsheng smiled and stood up and said, "Almost, I should say goodbye. Next time I have the chance, we will talk about traveling."

"Okay, we are going to participate in the event soon." Ji Youguo also stood up, "Be careful when you go back, don't get tired before you retire, quit smoking early. After retirement, I can still travel together. Please try my skills at that time."

"Craftsmanship? Lao Ji, when did you learn how to cook?"

"Listen to him, he will cook with a rice cooker and he will not know anything else."

Hearing his wife's words, Ji Youguo shook his head with a smile and stopped making any more excuses.

"It's getting late, and I won't delay your activities." Pan Yunsheng picked up the cigarette on the table, "Let's do it, let's talk about it next time we meet."

"I'll send you out."

"No, you go and change your clothes quickly, otherwise my sister-in-law will talk to me again."

After saying goodbye, Pan Yunsheng went directly to the military airport and took a helicopter to return to Beijing.

As soon as he returned to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the secretary came to the latest information he had compiled. "In addition, the head of state called three times and asked you to go to the General Staff immediately after you come back."

"General Staff?"

The secretary nodded. "The car is ready and can set off at any time."

After scanning the documents, Pan Yunsheng did not waste any further time and immediately drove to the General Staff.

The situation has undergone major changes. Zhao Rundong went to the General Staff to preside over the meeting and stated that he had made a decision to send troops. (To be continued,)
