※Lubu, Li Cunxun called Liu Xiaobin and asked him to go and invite the slaughtered mule double-bu general in person.

If Li Cunxun could regard Lin Muhua and Kang Xiaoting as friends, then Pei Chengyi could only be considered Li Cunxun's colleague, not even his comrades-in-arms.

Every time I think of Pei Chengyi, Li Cunxun has to sigh that it is indeed the times that make heroes.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi is the most magical general in the military history of the Republic. As a soldier who has never been on the battlefield, it is very incredible that Pei Chengyi was able to become a general of the Republic's Army when he was Zhaosui. However, the results were nothing compared to his brilliant achievements. You should know that when he was only a year old and was a colonel of the army, he commanded the Republic's army to win the Peninsula War and taught the arrogant US army. Thugs After 2019, Pei Chengyi commanded the Republic's army to win the second time.

The largest regional war after the World War achieved impressive results that the whole world had. For any soldier, any victory would be enough to make him go down in history. Even in the history of the Republic, no second general has achieved such brilliant achievements. In the eyes of many people, if Pei Chengyi had the opportunity to command the Republic's army to win the third large-scale regional war, the Republic would likely break the convention for him and make him the eleventh marshal in the history of the Republic.

Li Cunxun didn't care whether Pei Chengyi had the chance to become a marshal.

Standing at the position of the Military Intelligence Bureau Director, Li Cunxun is most concerned about whether Pei Chengyi will take off his military uniform. In other words, will Pei Chengyi go to the political circle like famous generals in some Western countries, after achieving world-renowned military achievements. You should know that according to Wang Yuanqing's political reform direction, it is not impossible for soldiers to enter politics, but the possibility of becoming increasingly greater. With Pei Chengyi's military achievements and the public support he received from this, as long as he is willing to take off his military uniform, he is likely to become the first head of state in the Republic in a military formation, or after Li Nian.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi must have such capital.

In terms of age, Pei Chengyi, who was only a coincidence, can not only wait for the old year, but also after the year of the year, but only a year. For politicians, as long as they are healthy enough, the year is not considered old. You should know that the head of state that kicked off the reform of the Republic came to power when the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year of the year

Looking at the Western world, for example, in the United States, there is no shortage of presidents who are strong and strong. As for health issues, Pei Chengyi, as a soldier, should not have too many problems. Not to mention anything else, Peng Maobang is already overtime, not only is heavier than Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong, but he is even healthier than many officials who are in the year.

In addition to age and physical capital, Pei Chengyi's political capital is not bad either.

In terms of reputation, if we only talk about influence, no one except Wang Yuanqing can compare with Pei Chengyi. During the Peninsula War, Pei Chengyi, who was silently dedicated on the front line, did not attract widespread attention from the people. In the Indian War, Pei Chengyi stood at the forefront of the stage and also allowed the people across the country to understand this "young general." Many people also found out "old accounts" and promoted the people who commanded the Republic's army to annihilate the Zhu U.S. Marine Division.

It can be said that Pei Chengyi is only a little short of appeal, that is, he has already gotten married and started a family.

According to Li Cunxun, if Pei Chengyi was still a bachelor, not only would teenagers across the country regard him as an idol, but all unmarried girls would regard him as their dream prince charming. No matter how ordinary Pei Chengyi looks, under the influence of the general environment, an iron-blooded soldier like him must be the dream lover of the girl Huaichun.

Of course, in the eyes of the generation that mainly relies on the old days, it is not a problem whether they get married or not. The divorce rate in the Republic has been rising year by year, and there are divorces when they get married. Getting married does not mean that they will be hung on a tree for the rest of their lives, nor does it mean that others have no chance to intervene.

No matter what, Pei Chengyi is definitely not lacking in support from the people.

Relatively speaking, among Pei Chengyi's political capital, the most worthy of attention is that he surpasses ordinary soldiers, and even exceeds the political mind that soldiers should have.

During the Peninsula War, Li Cunxun began to pay attention to Pei Chengyi.

Although his performance was not outstanding at that time, many of Pei Chengyi's command strategies coincided with the political propositions of the state leaders, especially Wang Yuanqing, such as accelerating the speed of going south, attacking Seoul, and quickly sweeping the southern part of the peninsula, which were completely consistent with Wang Yuanqing's proposal of "fight to the end". From another perspective, Li Cunxun had to believe that Pei Chengyi, who was still a colonel officer at the time, could understand the meaning of the upper class and try to command the combat operations according to the above ideas. In other words, it was the combat operations commanded by Pei Chengyi that made Wang Yuanqing firm up his idea of ​​"fight to the end".

In fact, Pei Chengyi's political mind can also be seen from another perspective.

When Peng Maobang was the Chief of Staff, Pei Chengyi was not valued. In layman's terms, he just kept making soybeans. It was not until Xiang Yinghui was the Chief of Staff that Pei Chengyi was valued and became the "Five Tiger Generals" trained by Xiang Yinghui. The other four of the top generals were Ling Yunxiao, Li Dongshi, Lin Xiaolei and Hua Jianfeng. The completely different treatment was a big laugh with Peng Maobang and Xiang Yinghui's concept of employment. As a traditional military commander, Zhang Maobang always believed that soldiers should not have excessively clear political propositions, so they deliberately suppressed some politically wise soldiers. The choice of "Die Hua Hui as the successor" was a direct reflection of Peng Maobang's concept, because Yicai was indeed a soldier who lacked political minds.

Although Xiang Yinghui's thoughts are relatively traditional, he and Peng Maobang's ideas are different from whether soldiers should have political minds. In Li Cunxun's view, Xiang Yinghui never advocates soldiers participating in politics, but does not oppose that soldiers should have political minds. After all, war is the highest form of political struggle. If you don't understand politics, you will not be able to fight a good war and win the war. The so-called extremes will lead to opposition. Xiang Yinghui lacks political minds and naturally needs an assistant with talent in this area, which gives Pei Chengyi the opportunity to perform, thus achieving Pei Chengyi.

The Indian War not only showed Pei Chengyi's unparalleled military talent, but also showed his political talent.

During the war planning stage, after Pei Chengyi proposed the overall strategy of "Earth first and then West", Li Cunxun knew that Pei Chengyi did not fight for war, but for politics. It was precisely because Pei Chengyi's intention that Li Cunxun became one of the few decision makers who supported the strategy. Later facts proved that Pei Chengyi was indeed catering to the appetite of the head of state. To put it bluntly, the war plan formulated before the war was not used for implementation, but for the head of state to make a war decision. The reason is very simple. After the decisive battle on the Eastern Front, the war strategy thugs were completely overthrown, and the next way of fighting was Pei Chengyi's original intention.

This alone shows Pei Chengyi's political mind.

In other words, if Xiang Yinghui was asked to formulate a war plan, he would definitely adopt the "west first, then east" strategy, first conquering New Delhi, then sweeping the Ganges basin, and finally advancing south. Not to mention whether such a passing can achieve the same effect, after all, the war has ended, and there will be no second chance to test this strategy. Judging from the pre-war atmosphere alone, Wang Yuanqing would not agree to such a war plan, because it is very likely that the Republic will fall into the war quagmire of India and exhaust all its national strength in a war that cannot be won.

Of course, the most commendable thing is that Pei Chengyi can perfectly combine political needs and military needs.

In the early days of the Indian War, almost everyone thought Pei Chengyi was taking a strategic adventure. Judging from the situation at that time, if the Republican army could not win quickly on the Eastern Front battlefield, it would definitely fall into the quagmire of war. Even if New Delhi could be conquered, it would not be able to win the final victory quickly. As long as the war dragged on for a year and a half, the Republic would be forced to admit that it had lost the war. Li Cunxun also had the same view, thinking that Pei Chengyi was betting on the future of the Republic. It was not until the Republican army quickly swept the Ganges plains, rushed to attack Bhopal in the west, completed the strategic cutting in an incredible way, and shortened the war process from one and a half to half a year, that Li Cunxun had to believe that Pei Chengyi did not take a strategic adventure at all. The battle situation was in his control, and finally won according to his ideas.

Looking back, you may feel that Pei Chengyi's performance on the Indian battlefield is nothing worth praising, and it may even make people feel that the whole process is natural, and the results of whoever commands are not much different. After all, the military strength of the Republic is there, and India has no chance of winning. But judging from the situation at that time, who can command the entire war as easily as Pei Chengyi? Even if you take a step back, who has the ability to see the progress and result of the entire war? Li Cunxun sighs that he does not have such ability because he also doubts Pei Chengyi's command strategy.

Sometimes, Li Cunxun even feels that Pei Chengyi’s military talent is innate.

The key is that winning a battle is likely to be luck, but winning a war is definitely not luck.

The plan took thugs. The Indian War, which took only a month in the end, took only a month. The war expenses were only budgeted for the casualties of the war, and the loss of the war was only predicted by Wei. These are enough to prove that Pei Chengyi's military talent was unparalleled. I am afraid that there will be no second pound in the next few decades, "Pei Chengyi".

Of course, from a higher perspective, it is not easy to win one war, and it is even less easy to win two wars.

Facts are enough to prove that Pei Chengyi is a general who is both civil and military.

Li Cunxun admires Pei Chengyi's military talent very much and also admires Pei Chengyi's political acumen, but what he admires the most is Pei Chengyi's "low-key" situation.

After the Indian War, Pei Chengyi became the most competitive chief of staff.

After Xiang Yinghui decided to leave his armor and return to the field, not only did Wang Yuanqing think that Pei Chengyi was the ideal candidate for the next Chief of General Staff, but even Zhang Zhongxian, who had been working for the Chief of General Staff, was reluctant to accept the disadvantage and declared to the public early that if Pei Chengyi became the Chief of General Staff, he would definitely be willing to obey the dispatch.

At that time, Li Cunxun thought there was a question.

Pei Chengyi's performance made Li Cunxun understand what the problem was. When Pei Chengyi refused the head of state's retention and decided to serve as commander of the South Asian theater, Li Cunxun understood. If Pei Chengyi took over Xiang Yinghui as the Chief of General Staff according to the idea that everyone expected, he would have been in big trouble. The reason was very simple. If Pei Chengyi did not have Pei Chengyi, it was not Zhang Zhongxian, but Lin Xiaolei. Zhang Zhongxian voluntarily withdrew from the competition.

It’s not that you don’t want to be the Chief of Staff, but that you want to take this opportunity to let Pei Chengyi and Lin Xiaolei take the lead. As long as Pei Chengyi and Lin Xiaolei can’t argue, the head of state will settle for the second best and let Zhang Zhongxian be the Chief of Staff. In other words, Pei Chengyi jumped out to compete for the position of Chief of Staff at this time, not only will he make wedding clothes for Zhang Zhongxian, but he will also offend several Wan Hai soldiers. If Li Cunxun was in Pei Chengyi’s position, he would not take the blame on himself, but

"Low-key" can also be regarded as a kind of political wisdom, and it is a political wisdom that is wise and foolish.

If Pei Chengyi simply withdrew from the Chief of Staff, there was nothing to be praised. Anyone who had a little brain and understood the internal struggles of the Republic's army would make the same decision in his position. What made Li Cunxun admire was that Pei Chengyi also did something that seemed to be light but actually meaningful.

After withdrawing from the competition of the Chief of Staff, Pei Chengyi applied to serve as the theater command in South Asia. Because the third military reform clearly stated that the theater system replaced the military region system, the four major theaters established first, the local theater, the Western Pacific theater, the Southeast Asian theater and the South Asian theater were all under construction and needed outstanding talents. Therefore, Pei Chengyi applied for an external transfer at this time, which was regarded by many as the best choice to avoid suspicion.

The problem is that Wang Yuanqing did not intend to let Pei Chengyi go, but sent Yuan Chenhao, who had just been promoted to major general, to come over.

Major war zones need talents, and promoting military reforms even more.

According to Wang Yuanqing's intention, Pei Chengyi stayed, and served in the "Military Reform Commission jointly established by the General Staff and the Ministry of National Defense. There is no doubt that the most suitable position for Pei Chengyi is "Director of the Combat Force Organization Office." Because Pei Chengyi was the director of the Operations Office when he was in the General Staff, and was the highest commander on the front line in both wars. He was very familiar with the military organization and knew how to adjust the organization. From a certain perspective, the "Director of the Combat Force Organization Office" has the highest position in military reform and the greatest influence, which will be of great help to future promotions. Not to mention, the newly established branches are related to the office and need to be adapted according to the plan submitted by the office. What was unexpected was that Pei Chengyi did not accept this catty and appointed, but went to the "Equipment Development Office, which was regarded as the Qingshui Yamen.

What is the future of the development of equipment?

According to the military system of the Republic, even if the office has a great say in equipment development and procurement, the final decision-making power is in the hands of the Ministry of Defense, and the budget control is very strict, so there is no chance to make some money. More importantly, the office is basically out of touch with the army. Even if the grassroots troops have equipment needs, they will not look for the office, but will directly look for the logistics equipment department of the military branch, or directly look for the Ministry of National Defense.

In a sensational view, Pei Chengyi is "refusing".

Although he had long claimed that he would not serve as the Chief of General Staff, with the wide support of the army, he was still an ideal candidate for the Chief of General Staff. Not to mention anything else, even Wang Yuanqing hoped that he could serve as the Chief of General Staff. It can even be said that as long as Pei Chengyi nodded, whether it was Xiang Yinghui or Wang Yuanqing, he would push him to the position of the Chief of General Staff. In this way, if Pei Chengyi wanted to avoid vicious competition with Lin Xiaolei, the only way was to find a place to "refuge". The South Asian War Zone was not completed, and Wang Yuanqing was forcibly stayed by Wang Yuanqing. It was also a good choice to find a Qingshui Yamen in the rear.

He also humbled people think that Pei Chengyi is playing hard to get.

A large number of naval officers believe that Pei Chengyi intends to use management equipment to bargain with the Navy in "acting", so that Lin Xiaolei has some concerns when competing for the Chief of Staff and eventually makes concessions. In fact, this is indeed possible. After all, the Navy has the highest dependence on equipment. If Pei Chengyi has the right to decide on equipment development and procurement, let alone threaten Lin Xiaolei, even Zhang Zhongxian would have to give up. The problem is that Pei Chengyi is not an official of the Procurement Office of the Ministry of National Defense, and even if he can provide advice on equipment development and procurement, he has no decision-making power. With the relationship between the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff, the Ministry of National Defense will definitely not take a general from the General Staff seriously.

There are not many people who truly understand Pei Chengyi's intentions," including Li Cunxun.

It was Pei Chengyi's decision that made Li Cunxun both admire and worry.

The reason is very simple. Pei Chengyi has already had the idea of ​​retirement. With Pei Chengyi's experience, it is impossible not to know how serious the internal struggles of the army are. Not to mention anything else, Su Jinhui, who made great achievements in the Peninsula War, retreated to the second line because of internal struggles in the army. If it is severity and human ability, Su Jinhui doesn't know how many times better than Fu Weimin who succeeded him. According to common sense, even if he cannot be promoted, he should stay in the Concave Army.

Although Li Cunxun didn't understand Pei Chengyi's personal thoughts very well, it can be seen from Pei Chengyi's every move that in the face of internal struggles in the army, Pei Chengyi neither wanted to participate nor was used. In other words, his only choice was to leave the army.

If Pei Chengyi was a general like Xiang Yinghui, the problem would be not big, and it would be time to go home to retire.

The problem is that Pei Chengyi is in Feng Sui, and is in the golden period of his life. There are only three results for retirement of soldiers: one is to integrate into society and live the rest of his life in obscurity like most retired soldiers; the other is to make use of their remaining energy in similar industries and find new goals like Kang Xiaoting and Su Mingjin; the third is to change careers comprehensively and achieve earth-shaking achievements in new industries.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi will not take the first two paths, but will only take the last path.

With his talent, as long as he is willing to do something, he will definitely be able to do something big. The first thing Li Cunxun thought of was Pei Chengyi's political wisdom, that is, as long as Pei Chengyi is willing to go into politics, the future will be bright.

If Pei Chengyi entered politics, what impact would it have on the future of the Republic?
