.Before entering the conference room, Li Guoqiang was stopped by Li Pingko.

"Just received the call, Liu Junshi is still alive."

"Confirm?" Li Guoqiang was a little surprised, but the stone hanging in his heart fell to the ground.

"It's true, Lao Sheng talked to him for about half an hour."

"So, did the Taiwanese authorities deliberately block the news?"

"Probably to find out the real murderer."

"What's there to check?"

Li Pingkoo smiled and said, "Even if he knew who did it, Liu Junshi would not turn against him at this time. He had to give the people an explanation."

"It's good, at least he's still alive."

"More than that, he has promised to meet with us at the right time."

"So urgent?"

"Cia repeatedly wants him to be finished, and it's impossible not to hurry."

Li Guoqiang thought for a while and said, "Do we need to send someone here?"

"It's already arranged, and I won't use you for the time being."

“Who is responsible?”

"Zhang Dingchang of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau." Li Pingkoo was talking about the director of the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Zhang Dingchang was on the same level as Li Guoqiang in his position, but he was a different intelligence agency.

"Can he do it?"

"The mission is not difficult, it should be fine."

Li Guoqiang nodded and said, "That's good, I'm not in the mood to pay attention to what's happening there now."

"The report you submitted has been sent. I will focus on this matter later. Prepare it."

"Don't worry, I've been ready."

Li Pingko didn't ask any more questions, and the guard pushed open the door for him. Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong followed Ma Mingtao and finally walked into the conference room.

In the conference room, all the senior leaders were here.

Fu Xiubo was whispering to a leader. Wen Tinggui looked down at the meeting note and asked for documents. The other leaders looked very quiet.

The atmosphere was a little nervous, and Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong were even more nervous.

Before today, both of them had no dream of standing in front of the national leaders.

Before this, the two had only met the Chief of General Staff, and they saluted the Chief of General Staff more than 100 meters away when the troops were inspected.

"We're all here, let's start." Fu Xiubo personally presided over the meeting. The few people standing immediately returned to their seats, and the others also raised their heads. "Everyone knows that less than a month ago, Taiwan's 'Vice President' was assassinated in Hsinchu. Just a few hours ago, the Taiwanese leader was assassinated while attending a rally in Kaohsiung. The successive occurrence of such vicious incidents has had a serious impact on cross-strait relations. It is very necessary for us to take decisive measures to prevent the same thing from happening again. Before that, please ask Comrade Guoqiang to give a detailed report."

"The specific situation is mentioned in the meeting notation." Li Guoqiang stood up and said, "It is roughly the cross-strait reconciliation policy implemented by the Taiwan leader poses a threat to the national interests of the United States, and Cia planned the assassination operation. The targets of the two assassinations were Taiwan's 'President' Liu Junshi. During the first assassination, our intelligence personnel intervened in time and changed the outcome. However, Cia was unsuccessful and launched an action again."

"What does this have to do with Song Yingjie?" Wen Tinggui asked.

"Based on the information we have, Song Yingjie conspired with Cia after being elected as the 'Vice President' and played a very important role in the first assassination."

"What character?"

"Without him, there would be no point in assassinating Liu Junshi."

Wen Tinggui nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any questions.

"Major Mu Haoyang and Major Pang Yuelong participated in our operation in Taiwan. They promptly stopped the assassination of Liu Junshi." Li Guoqiang looked back at the two special forces sitting in the back row, and the two quickly stood up to salute. "They know the situation at that time more than me."

"Two, who do you guys say?" Fu Xiubo nodded to the two soldiers.

Needless to say, it must be Mu Haoyang to introduce the situation.

According to Ma Mingtao's tips, Mu Haoyang emphasized the situation of the two special aircrew brigade snipers and deliberately ignored the details of shooting Song Yingjie.

In less than five minutes, Mu Haoyang finished speaking.

The leaders were very attentive, and no one noticed that this was the first time Mu Haoyang participated in such a high-level meeting, even if he was just an inconspicuous supporting role.

"The problem is very clear." Fu Xiubo waved to Mu Haoyang and asked him to sit down. "The problem now is that Song Yingjie is dead. Jia Minjiu, who replaced him, is also a loyal follower of Liu Junshi. He came back as a private person before taking office. Comrade Pingko, was it you who received him?"

Li Pingko nodded and said, "Jia Minjiu is a very pragmatic person and has always supported the cross-strait reconciliation policy implemented by Liu Junshi."

"That's right." Fu Xiubo glanced at the participants, "The question now is, why do you still need to assassinate Liu Junshi?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Guoqiang said: "This is exactly the problem we have not figured out. If the assassination of Liu Junshi has no decisive impact on the situation on the island and the Taiwan Strait, it can only be said that the assassination is not to change cross-strait relations, but to achieve other purposes."

"The key is, what is the purpose?" Wen Tinggui knocked on the table and said, "I have read the report sent by the Second Department. It mentioned that four hours ago, two stealth bombers deployed in Guam took off with live ammunitions. A few days ago, the two bombers invaded our airspace. Affected by this, the General Staff issued a yellow threat alarm, and then we came here. Can these mean that the United States is about to launch a war?"

Li Guoqiang was slightly surprised because he ignored this issue.

"Of course it is impossible. Whether bombing Taiwan or bombing the mainland, the United States cannot get any benefits." Li Pingko rushed to say, "Besides, the conflict between us and the United States has not yet intensified to the point where it needs to be resolved by war. Even if the United States intends to fight undeclare, the two bombers are far from enough."

"Maybe it is possible."

After Li Guoqiang said this, Li Pingko immediately looked at him, and the other leaders' eyes also turned.

"It is obviously not enough to use two bombers to carry out strategic strikes on us. If the US military bombs Taiwan, it is equivalent to starting a war against us." Li Guoqiang paused for a moment and said, "If the target of the attack is not us, nor Taiwan, but a relatively weak country, the two strategic bombers are enough to rewrite history."

"How to rewrite it?" Wen Tinggui's expression became nervous.

"Beheading." Li Guoqiang's answer was very concise.

Now, the already tense atmosphere suddenly solidified, and even Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong could see that the leader was under great pressure.

Fu Xiubo picked up a cigarette, scratched three matches before lighting it.

The head of state did not speak, and the other leaders remained silent.

"Although we all hope that Comrade Guoqiang's speculation is groundless and has no basis, but..." Fu Xiubo took a strong breath of cigarettes and said, "If those two bombers fly to a certain country and are about to or have dropped bombs, we have to set the basic argument here."

"For us, war only has a hundred harms, not a good thing."

"Comrade Tinggui is right," Fu Xiubo knew that Li Pingko would stand up and sing a counter-tune, so he said first, "Although we have achieved remarkable achievements over the past 30 years and have initially achieved the goals set at the beginning, we still have a long way to go in economic development and need a peaceful and stable external environment. We have been working hard to create and maintain peace and promote the values ​​of a harmonious world. The problem now is that it is not that we want war, but that some countries want to impose war on us."

Wen Tinggui sighed, and the meaning of Fu Xiubo's last sentence was very clear.

"Similar situations have also been encountered in the early stages of reform." Fu Xiubo wiped out the cigarettes that he only smoked two sips. "I ask everyone, if there was no border conflict and no peace and stability exchanged for the blood and lives of millions of soldiers, can our reform and our economic construction achieve the current achievements? Peace is not achieved through begging and blind compromise, but through strength and struggle. If we only have strong economic strength and no equally powerful army, peace is just a fantasy, and economic construction is even more impossible to talk about!"

“Even so, it is not necessary to resolve the problem through war.”

"Comrade Xiubo began to say that it was not that we wanted war, but that others wanted to impose war on us." Li Pingkoo did not calm down. "The knife was already on his neck. Can we still retreat? In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we were able to fight the United Nations forces back when we were poor and backward. Now we are strong, but we are timid. Has the wealthy life consumed our fighting spirit and made us forget the shame written in blood and tears in modern history?"

Wen Tinggui sighed again and did not argue with Li Pingko.

"We don't have to be afraid when the enemy is coming, but there is no need to provoke the enemy on its own initiative." Fu Xiubo was very sensible and did not make Li Pingkoo show too aggressively. "What I began to say is just how to face it when we have no way to retreat. Before that, we must do everything we can to avoid war, maintain peace and stability in the region, and bring the situation back to normal track."

Wen Tinggui breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I will immediately send an alarm to the North Korean authorities through diplomatic channels."

"If it's not too late, you can invite North Korean leaders to visit our country."

Wen Tinggui nodded, indicating that he understood what Fu Xiubo meant.

"Because there are uncertainties, we must make the worst plan." Fu Xiubo glanced at the people sitting there, "The three armies immediately entered combat readiness. All personnel on vacation must return to the troops to report within 48 hours, and the equipment maintenance and maintenance work will be carried out simultaneously. If we cannot be stopped in time, we have to face the war. From now on, the leaders' security and protection work will be mentioned to the highest level. In the next twenty-four hours, I will hold a military meeting at any time. The General Staff Department is responsible for the specific work and report directly to me."

Sitting in the first row, Admiral Lu Fenglie, the only military uniform, nodded.

"Everyone, what else should I discuss?" Fu Xiubo glanced at the participants again, "We all hope that this is just a farce created by the Americans, but we must not be careless, and we must not be careless. This is the most severe challenge we have encountered in the past decade. I hope that you will do your duty and be proactive, and overcome difficulties with me, our soldiers and our people."

Fu Xiubo said this last sentence very seriously, which was equivalent to giving others a vaccination.

Can it stop the war?
