Chapter 26 Democratic Republic Day
※Fang Wenzhi Junior, Pei Chengyi brought the tea with him.
"Mr. Pei, how are your life here?"
"What else can it be done?" Pei Chengyi glanced at Liu Xiaobin in a suit and tie, nodded to Kang Xiaoting sitting on the sofa opposite, and then sat down, saying, "I have only been here for a few days and have not adapted to the climate here. Overall, it is quite satisfactory. I haven't encountered any troubles, so I'm much more relaxed."
"It seems that our worries are redundant." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "Do you know Mr. Kang?"
"Looking for a long time!" Pei Chengyi nodded to Kang Xiaoting again.
"President Pei is polite. In terms of military rank, I am your subordinate." Kang Xiaoting was also polite.
"Don't be polite, Liu Xiaobin didn't talk much, said, "This time I came here mainly to discuss matters about Argentina with President Pei
Pei Chengyi nodded, indicating that he understood what Liu Xiaobin meant.
"Old Li attaches great importance to your opinions, so I found Mr. Kang, and Huaan Company was fully responsible for hiring veterans." Liu Xiaobin took out a cigarette. Because he knew that Pei Chengyi had quit smoking, he was not very polite. He lit up and took a few sips and said, "The recruitment of veterans is not troublesome. According to the information we have, let alone hundreds of people, even if you want a few thousand people, it is not a problem. Before coming here, we had contacted Argentina intelligence agencies. As long as we can recruit enough excellent soldiers, the commission is easy to discuss. It is not that the more mercenaries recruited, the better, so Lao Li asked me to come here to find out the specific situation so that we can do things according to the rules."
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and heard what Liu Xiaobin said implicitly.
It is obvious that the Military Intelligence Bureau is very dissatisfied with what Pei Chengyi did in Argentina. At least Li Cunxun thinks that Pei Chengyi is playing the piano randomly, otherwise Liu Xiaobin would not have come over. "The mood of supervising Li Cunxun is completely understandable. The "Constitution Amendment Movement" is going vigorously, and the Military Intelligence Bureau Director must be busy. However, Pei Chengyi has done so many things in Argentina. Even if Li Cunxun has a good temper, he will be very annoyed. If he is just annoyed, it is no big deal. According to Pei
Chengyi's guess, Li Cunxun must be worried about getting into trouble. Although to outsiders, the Military Intelligence Bureau is almost omnipotent, in the special stage, Li Cunxun is concentrating on dealing with domestic problems and cannot keep staring at the outside. If Pei Chengyi causes big trouble today at this time, because Li Cunxun is fully responsible for the aid work of Afghanistan, he must be the one who wipes Pei Chengyi's butt. There is no doubt that Li Cunxun does not want to get into trouble, especially at this time.
When Liu Xiaobin picked up the teacup, Pei Chengyi spoke and said, "What does Lao Li mean?"
"If you can, you can help, it is beyond our ability, and you can't help." Liu Xiaobin put down his teacup and said, "Although I have not yet contacted the relevant personnel in Argentina, and the negotiations on Mr. Kang will not start tomorrow, but based on the information we have already grasped, the situation in Argentina is much worse than we imagined."
"What does it mean?" Pei Chengyi immediately frowned.
Liu Xiaobin smiled and turned his gaze to Kang Xiaoting.
"Before coming here, we had preliminary contact with the Argentine authorities and obtained the Afghanistan contract." Kang Xiaoting took out a document from the briefcase he carried with him and handed it to Pei Chengyi, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "According to the wishes of the Afghanistan side, in addition to entrusting us to hire a group of retired airborne troops, we also hope to hire a group of retired pilots, especially fighter pilots, through us, through us,
"Pilot?" Pei Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, "How many pilots Argentina wants to hire?
Kang Xiaoting smiled bitterly and said, "There are no specific numbers. In their words, the more the better."
Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, and said, "It seems that the situation in Argentina is indeed much worse than we imagined."
“This is just the beginning.
Liu Xiaobin lit a second cigarette and said, "If the information is correct, Argentina's analysis of the recovery of the Cavaliers through military operations is very serious, and even the Argentina army has differences. In other words, Theron did not receive absolute support. If he wins, everything is easy, and no one will confront the president who has won the battle. If he loses, it is a blessing that Theron can save his life."
“That is, you can only win but not lose.”
Liu Xiaobin smiled and said nothing.
"Maybe there is a third solution." Pei Chengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "What is the attitude in China?"
"Old Li?.
Pei Chengyi shook his head, believing that Liu Xiaobin understood what he meant, so he didn't say much.
"I don't know much about Liu Xiaobin sighed and said, "You also know the situation in the country. Although no one dares to underestimate the ability of the head of state, at this critical moment, it is best not to cause trouble for the head of state. According to Lao Li's explanation, without clearer instructions, everything will be taken as planned."
“That is, still providing war support to Argentina?”
Liu Xiaobin nodded, indicating that this is what he meant.
"In this case, we must reassess the situation."
"This is why Lao Li asked me to come to you."
Pei Chengyi was stunned for a moment, then understood and said, "When will you go back?"
"In a few days, I will return to China with Mr. Kang." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "But I am a negotiating expert hired by Huaan Company and will participate in the negotiation work throughout the process, so we must handle it tonight."
"This is too sudden, right?"
Liu Xiaobin smiled and killed the cigarette butts, saying that it was not sudden. And for Mr. Pei, the sudden attack of spots was simply two: ;
Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, let's hurry up."
“We have to figure out one thing first.”
"I understand." Pei Chengyi pondered for a while and said, "Before I saw you, according to my personal judgment, Argentina's chance of recovering the Cavaliers through military operations is not small, and even very sure. If we consider the issues mentioned at the beginning, we have to keep it. The question is that whether Argentina supports the recovery of the Cavaliers by force is not determined by Argentina's military strength. If I guess correctly, the head of state did not over-think Argentina's military power when making the decision. That is to say, no matter what our judgment is, the war will still break out."
Liu Xiaobin nodded and expressed his agreement with Pei Chengyi's analysis.
"Since war is inevitable, what we have to do is how to win Argentina."
"Argentina can't pay too much."
Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the scale of the war must be controlled. Although the attitude of the warring parties determines the scale of the war, we must admit that this is a very special war. It is not Argentina or Britain that really determines the scale of the war. Therefore, we must take appropriate actions to exert influence on the warring parties and strive to keep the scale of the war within a tolerable range."
"I will be responsible for this matter myself." Liu Xiaobin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You also know that Lao Li has to focus on his energy in China during this period, so I will be responsible for all foreign-related work. After returning to China, I will make arrangements for what you mentioned and promptly inform you of important news."
Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and said, "Old Liu, what you said is not simple."
"What does it mean?" Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment.
"Do you need my explanation?" Xue Chengyi glanced at Kang Xiaoting sitting opposite him.
"Lao Kang is his own person, and he participated in the Military Intelligence Bureau's operations more than 20 years ago," Liu Xiaobin suddenly stopped. Obviously, he realized and started to let go. "You mean, the war will break out soon?"
"This is not what I said."
"Of course, I was the one who let me go, or my expression was wrong." Liu Xiaobin smiled and said, "We have not received any news that Argentina is about to start a war. We also have enough reason to believe that if we have to rely on our support, the Argentine authorities will not start a war on our back. As for Lao Li, he is very busy now. When he finishes handling domestic affairs, he will pay attention to it."
Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head, saying, "No matter what, the scale of the war must be reduced as much as possible. Only in this way can Argentina win without paying a heavy price. Only in this way can Britain withdraw from the war decently after being hit by a head-on attack. More importantly, only in this way can the war be shortened. Only in this way can Argentina truly enjoy the fruits of victory, and Theron will not collapse due to heavy losses in the war. Of course, from the perspective of the international situation, quick battle and quick decision are the best way to eliminate foreign intervention. According to my judgment, if the war lasts for three months, the United States will definitely provide military supplies and important strategic supplies to Britain; if the war lasts for half a year, the United States may provide weapons and equipment to Britain, and even give the US military's weapons and equipment to Britain by renting; if the war lasts for one year, the United States does nothing, and the war will end."
"What's more to do?" Kang Xiaoting was stunned for a moment and said, "It's unlikely, ahead."
Liu Xiaobin pressed his hand and said, "Mr. Pei means that if Argentina cannot win within one year, Theron will be overthrown by the opposition and there will be political turmoil in Argentina."
“That is, we have to help Argentina win in three months.”
Liu Xiaobin lit a third cigarette and said, "In this way, the scale of military aid to Afghanistan must be expanded, and a large number of military supplies must be shipped immediately."
"There are also military Gu Ran regiments."
"This is not a problem. Lao Li explained that in two days, the first group of members of the advisory group will arrive."
Pei Chengyi nodded and stopped bothering about this matter.
"Besides this, what other issues must be paid attention to and must be resolved as soon as possible?"
"That's too much. If you really want to say it in detail, I'm afraid you can talk about it until dawn."
Liu Xiaobin was stunned for a moment and said, "Let's talk about the main issues first."
"The main issues are the two points I mentioned earlier, and the third point related to Mr. Kang."
Liu Xiaobin glanced at Kang Xiaoting and expressed his understanding that Pei Chengyi was referring to the matter of hiring mercenary military personnel.
"Is there anything else?"
Pei Chengyi shook his head and said, "The main problem is only these three pounds." The others are not the main ones, but they cannot be underestimated."
"Summary of the questions you think of, and I will send someone to find you in a few days." Liu Xiaobin glanced at his watch and said, "It's getting late, and we won't delay your rest.
Of course, when encountering an emergency, please contact me or Lao Li at any time, and we will provide you with full support."
Pei Chengyi didn't talk much, he immediately stood up and gave him a gift
After seeing off Liu Xiaobin and Kang Xiaoting, Pei Chengyi did not return to the bedroom to rest.
Although the two uninvited guests were not popular, the information they brought to Pei Chengyi was very shocked. Liu Xiaobin would definitely not joke about such a major event, that is to say, Argentina was not prepared for the war. No matter whether Pei Chengyi showed his performance in front of Liu Xiaobin, he swears. He also had to consider the worst result of the Ah Xu War, what would the outcome?
Poison Ye and Pei Chengyi are all considering this issue.
Because he is not a saint, he also considers personal gains and losses while considering the gains and losses of the country.
Before dawn, Pei Chengyi called Dongfang Wen over and asked his assistant to find the assistants sent by the Military Intelligence Bureau to retrieve several copies of information from the Military Intelligence Bureau's secret database.
That morning, when Huaan Company was in secret negotiations with the Argentine authorities, Pei Chengyi was doing another thing.
Whether for personal interests or national interests, Pei Chengyi must make a comprehensive and thorough assessment of the upcoming war. If in China, Pei Chengyi can use the supercomputer of the General Staff to analyze various intelligence data provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and then do a large-scale war game deduction. Because the conditions are limited and there is no strong hardware support, Pei Chengyi can only rely on his own experience.
In the next few days, Pei Chengyi focused all his energy on this matter.
In the past few days, the situation outside has also changed a lot.
On February 1st, Huaan Company signed the first entrusted employment contract with the Argentine government. According to the contract, Huaan Company will hire retired soldiers from the Republic and form an assault force of about the size of people to provide camps and training grounds for the troops; then the Argentine army will purchase the combat rights of the troops from Huaan Company according to the needs of military operations; in order to ensure the interests of Huaan Company, the Argentine government will pay the irrigation funds required to establish the troops, and then pay the operation fees according to the scale of the operations and the specific operations.
There is no doubt that for Huaan Company, this is a transaction that guarantees profit and no loss.
Because many of the information used as the basis for negotiations were provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, and the Military Intelligence Bureau had already done its tricks, even if Argentina only needs to pay the irrigation fee for the establishment of an assault force, as long as the estimated amount of funds is doubled, Hua'an Company can recover the capital. More importantly, after the war broke out, the initiative was completely in the hands of Hua'an Company. Ah Jun had no bargaining chips for negotiations at all, and the Hua'an Company decided to decide how much action costs should be paid. In other words, what Hua'an Company needs to consider is not whether it will lose money, but whether it will do a long-term or short-term, that is, making a fortune in one go, or making a long-term fish.
On this day, the Republic's "Constitutional Amendment Movement" achieved significant gains.
After two days of debate and deliberation, the "Election Law Amendment" submitted by Wang Yuanqing was finally passed in the vote after a small revision. Like any previous bill, in the evening of the day, Gu Weimin officially announced at a press conference that the new "Election Law" will be implemented from April 2019. Although this arrangement does not break the convention, according to unwritten rules, any bill will officially take effect within the day after it is passed, and the effective date is generally set on the first day of the beginning of the month. The reason for leaving a "buffer" time for the date of the date of arrival is very simple. Before the new bill takes effect, it needs to be printed into a document and needs to be promoted. It is impossible to start implementation immediately after the vote is passed. It must be given an appropriate adaptation period for the public.
Although in the eyes of many people, the "Election Law Amendment Act" is not a key bill of the "Constitution Amendment Movement", and can only be regarded as a basic bill of the "Constitution Amendment Movement", considering the actual situation of the Republic, especially the political atmosphere of the Republic, we should not be humble about the great significance of the passage of this bill in the vote.
To put it simply, the vast majority of representatives have chosen their political stance through the "Election Law Amendment".
If the same thing happened in a developed Western country, it is still unclear how the outcome would be. However, under the political background of the Republic, when the "fenceists" make a choice, even ordinary people can guess what the outcome will be, and there is no suspense.
Of course, the words of some people can also illustrate the importance of what happened this day.
Wang Yuanqing answered a reporter's question at a press conference held after officially announcing his resignation and said: If there were no new election laws, there would be no new constitution, and there would be no new democratic politics. The political reform of the Republic would not be able to achieve phased victory; it was the new election laws that gave every citizen of the Republic who had reached the age of the old year this year, and the Republic had entered a new era; if we wanted to make an intuitive explanation of the importance of the new election laws, it is no exaggeration to say that the moment when the direct profit new election laws were passed, the founding father was speaking? The long-cherished wish made before the New Year was truly realized, and it was not until this moment that the Chinese nation entered a new era of freedom and democracy.
That's right, decades later, this day, that is, four February flying days, were designated as "Democratic Republic Day".
If we look at what happened in February of the year after a few years, it is not an exaggeration to describe the importance of the new election law.
In the simplest terms: the vote given to citizens by the new election law is the golden key to the new era.
However, for Pei Chengyi, who was far away on the other side of the earth, he did not feel the joy brought by this, nor did he even feel any feeling, because the troubles in front of him were enough to make him forget everything else.
