.At this time, Li Xiaoming couldn't find Li Guoqiang because he was attending a high-level meeting.

Before the news media reported, Li Guoqiang received a message from Li Boyang. He immediately called Li Pingkoo, then rushed to the State Council and followed Li Pingko to attend the high-level meeting.

At the meeting, Li Guoqiang first introduced the situation, that is, Song Yingjie was shot, not Liu Junshi.

Because it was not verified at that time whether Song Yingjie was dead, Li Guoqiang bypassed this issue and introduced in detail the entire story of the incident to the head of state and other senior leaders.

Li Guoqiang needs to be too detailed, because the leader has an action report submitted by the second department.

The focus of the meeting quickly fell on what had just happened.

"Comrade Guoqiang, in the report submitted by the Second Ministry, clearly mentioned that the target of the CIA's assassination was Liu Junshi." The first question was Premier Wen Tinggui, "Can you explain why Song Yingjie was shot? Is there something wrong with the intelligence, or is there another reason?"

"According to the exact news I received, Song Yingjie was standing next to Liu Junshi at the time of the incident, and the two were very close to each other."

"What can this mean?" Wen Tinggui asked afterwards.

"According to the investigation results released by the Taiwan police, the assassin was ambushed in Room 1503 of Shangri-La Hotel, 1,800 meters away from the rally. The weapon was a high-precision sniper rifle. At such a long distance, the warhead was easily deviated from the target due to environmental factors."

"What do you mean is that Song Yingjie got bullets for Liu Junshi?"

Li Guoqiang nodded without explaining much.

He knew exactly what happened. The more he said, the more he made mistakes. In front of these smart leaders, there was nowhere to hide any small mistakes.

"Comrade Tinggui, we must believe in the comrades of the Second Ministry." Fu Xiubo, the head of state, came forward to end the discussion without much practical significance. "It is important to find out the truth, because only by knowing Cia's true intentions can we know how to deal with it and how to prevent similar things from happening again. It is urgent that we must determine the response measures as soon as possible. If such a big thing happens, the situation on the island will definitely be affected, which will affect cross-strait relations. Maintaining stability in the Taiwan Strait is our top priority, and this matter must not be the fuse of the war."

"The assassination operation was the commander of Cia, and Liu Junshi has no reason to point his finger at us."

"That depends on whether he knows who killed Song Yingjie." Fu Xiubo glanced at Wen Tinggui and said to Li Guoqiang, "Comrade Guoqiang, is there any way to tell Liu Junshi what we know?"

“We are doing this.”

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "If Liu Junshi can know the truth, as a leader with deputy responsibility, he will not push compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait into war, but we must make the worst plans. If we fail to convey information in a timely and accurate manner, or if Liu Junshi does not believe the information we provide, the situation in the Taiwan Strait will deteriorate."

Li Guoqiang's brows jumped a few times because he was interrupted by Fu Xiubo before he could finish his initial words.

"Under the current international situation, the war in the Taiwan Strait is not very beneficial to us." Li Pingko finally spoke, "But we don't have to be afraid of the war. If we really fight, we will definitely win."

"Comrade Pingko, your self-confidence is too strong, right?" Wen Tinggui smiled and said, "It is undeniable that it is difficult for us to gain benefits from the war. Even if we win, we will get a mess. At present, it seems that the United States is deeply in a sovereign debt crisis and has to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan and cannot invest too much force in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait. But it is not only the United States that may intervene in the conflict in the Taiwan Strait. We cannot forget Japan. As long as Japan is willing to send troops, the United States will retreat to the second line. Although with Japan's military strength, even if it is supported by the United States, it will be difficult to influence the direction of the war, but we cannot ignore the impact caused by this. Japan is likely to use this war to achieve military normalization. At that time, even if we achieve national unity and solve the legacy of the war, we will face a stronger, more unrestrained and more difficult-to-treat strong neighbor. This result is obviously not good for us."

"It is only a matter of time before Japan achieves military normalization."

“What we need is also time.”

Li Pingko hesitated for a moment and said, "The war is not only about military strength, but also about economic strength. In local wars among major powers, economic strength is more important. With the current situation of the United States, even if it is willing to support Taiwan and Japan, it does not have the ability to provide enough aid. Just one war expenditure can seriously worsen the sovereign debt crisis of the United States. Japan's situation is not much better than the United States, and it cannot afford much money to fight this war."

"Our situation is similar, there are a lot of domestic problems, and it costs money everywhere."

"Our biggest problem is not that we don't have enough money to spend, but that we don't spend it to the place where we should spend it." Li Pingkoo is the executive vice premier who is responsible for economic work. When it comes to economic problems, he naturally said it well. "For a long time, the main factor affecting my country's economic development is not that there is insufficient investment or that exports are affected. The domestic market has not developed, forcing us to do infrastructure and encourage exports to produce over-consuming surplus and allow more people to get job opportunities. A limited-scale war can create thousands of jobs, and the production of military supplies required for the war can keep millions of workers busy."

"We must never rely on war to solve the employment problem!"

Li Pingko smiled and waited for Wen Tinggui to continue talking.

"I don't oppose Comrade Pingko's view. When our arms production line starts, it will definitely provide jobs for many people, but the impact will make more people lose their jobs." Wen Tinggui's expression was a little excited, and his tone was much tougher than the beginning. "Changing the economic development model is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It takes a lot of time to establish a market economy that drives domestic demand. Before that, we still had to rely on investment and exports. In terms of investment, we have done enough, and the resulting series of problems have become a breeding ground for social conflicts. In the short term, we must focus on export trade."

When Wen Tinggui said this, Li Pingko's expression became serious.

"The United States is our largest trading partner and the export market for Chinese companies. Although our trade with Japan is mainly based on a deficit, Japanese companies' investment in my country has long exceeded that of the United States, and the jobs provided by these companies have even supported hundreds of millions of people." Wen Tinggui sighed and said, "Even a local conflict that does not require declaration of war, our trade with the United States and Japan will be affected. In order to fight us, the United States and Japan will definitely impose trade sanctions on us. If the scale of the conflict expands, the United States and Japan will use more tough measures to crack down on us, such as confiscating and freezing our state-owned assets. Two-thirds of our foreign exchange reserves are US dollar assets, most of which are US Treasury bonds, corporate bonds, and investments by state-owned enterprises in the United States. In addition, we have to consider the impact of the EU. If the EU is dragged into the water by the United States, the wealth we have accumulated over the past few decades will be destroyed."

"We don't have to be polite if the United States really wants to do this..."

Fu Xiubo suppressed his hand, stopped Li Pingko's words, and said, "Comrade Tinggui is right, we cannot take such a big risk."

"But……"

"Although we all firmly believe that the cause of national reunification exceeds all economic interests and can be rebuilt within decades even if it is broken, we must clearly realize that unity built on the ruins of war cannot be maintained for a long time and cannot be accepted by the people. For a long time, we have always adhered to the strategic policy of peaceful reunification, not to leave a better future for our descendants?" Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "As long as there is one percent hope, we must do 100% of our efforts. Before we have to face the war, we must do everything possible to eliminate the impact of this incident on cross-strait relations and let the situation in the Taiwan Strait develop in a direction that is beneficial to us."

The head of state said this, and Li Pingko didn't know what else to say.

"Of course, before the storm has passed, none of us can guarantee that the war will break out, so we still have to prepare for the worst." Fu Xiubo glanced at Wen Tinggui and said, "My opinion is to first let the army enter a state of combat readiness, but not to make large-scale mobilizations or early deployments. It is just to show our attitude and let those guys who are secretly in the process of knowing that we are not only not afraid of war, but also determined to win any war."

Wen Tinggui nodded and agreed with the head of state's point of view.

"In addition, domestic economic construction cannot be relaxed. The stronger we are, the less dare those countries that are hostile to us will do anything wrong." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "In recent years, Comrade Tinggui has worked very hard to deal with the problems caused to us by the financial turmoil. Therefore, I personally presided over the future Central Economic Conference, and leave the economic-related matters to Comrade Pingko. Comrade Tinggui has a good rest."

Wen Tinggui was shocked and immediately said, "Comrade Xiubo, I..."

"Comrade Tinggui, we are not young anymore, so we have to give young people some opportunities to exercise." Fu Xiubo did not let Wen Tinggui continue, "Besides, such a major thing happened, we must be proactive in diplomacy and not be led by others. You have much more experience than Comrade Pingko, so in the future, we will focus on diplomatic work so that Comrade Pingko can concentrate on solving economic problems."

At this time, Li Guoqiang also saw that Fu Xiubo took advantage of what happened in Taiwan.

"That's it. Comrade Guoqiang, you have to hurry up and report to me about the progress of the incident at any time." Fu Xiubo glanced at several other leaders who had not spoken and said, "No matter what the enemy wants to do, as long as we are united and move towards the same goal, the enemy will have no choice. At the critical moment, the central government's guidance spirit must be highly consistent, and the comrades below know what to do, so that we can overcome difficulties and turn challenges into opportunities. I am not a one-man show, everyone can put forward opinions. After making a decision, I hope everyone can put aside their respective views, abandon their previous differences, and meet the challenges closely together!"

It’s not that no one wants to give an opinion, but that everyone knows that this is not the time to give an opinion.
