When Pei Chengyi saw Li Cunxun who came to pick him up at the airport... Pei Chengyi was a little surprised. The reason for returning to Beijing was very special, but there was no need to let the military intelligence director who was busy with a lot of things come to greet him. When Pei Chengyi saw Su Jinhui sitting in the car, he was even more shocked. Then he thought that this was the reason why Li Cunxun came to pick him up.

"I heard that your special plane will arrive soon, so we'll wait for a while." Li Cunxun gave Pei Chengyi an extension before reiterating, "I have something to deal with, so I won't accompany you. I'll call you again in the afternoon. If you have time in the evening, I'll call Xiao Liu and have a meal together."

Before Pei Chengyi could react, Li Cunxun got out of the car and closed the door.

When Pei Chengyi looked back and saw Su Jinhui sitting next to him, he felt indescribable. There was no doubt that Li Cunxun wanted the two generals to communicate well, but this was a little too impatient.

When the car started, Su Jinhui took out a cigarette.

“Do you smoke?”

“No, I quit a few years ago.

"Don't you mind?"

Pei Chengyi smiled and shook his head. He was not as good as not to like others smoking.

Su Jinhui lit a cigarette, took a few sips, and said, "Old Li has talked to me, I have to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Yes, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have anything to do today."

Pei Chengyi smiled and expressed his understanding of Su Jinhui's meaning.

"I was thinking about these things when Xiao Fu called back a few days ago."

When Pei Chengyi heard Su Jinhui say this, he frowned.

Obviously, the little Fu in Su Jinhui's mouth is Fu Weimin. When Su Jinhui became the commander of the Concai Army, Fu Weimin was still a major battalion commander. In those years, Peng Maobang began to reuse young generals led by Xiang Yinghui, and a "younger" trend was thrown into the army. Su Jinhui took advantage of the situation and focused on promoting several young officers led by Fu Weimin. Before Su Jinhui left the Concai Army, Fu Weimin was already the chief of staff of the Brigadier General. Mo Yong suspected that Fu Weimin was Su Jinhui.

In a sense, Fu Weimin was able to maintain the position of military commander in the third military reform and serve as the commander of the ninth combat unit, Su Jinhui was bound to help. Before this, Pei Chengyi did not consider this issue, but believed that the ninth combat unit was permanently stationed in Xinjiang, second only to the first combat unit stationed in Pakistan in desert warfare, so when deploying combat forces, the ninth combat unit was placed in Syria.

"If I guess correctly, General Pei must be worried about something."

Pei Chengyi frowned slightly and waited for Su Jinhui to continue talking.

"To be honest, last month, Lao Li talked to me several times, hoping that I could go to Syria as soon as possible and start to form the Southern Line Command." Su Jinhui paused for a moment and said, "I haven't gone to Syria until now. It's not that I'm evading responsibility, nor that I don't want to take on this important task, but that I haven't figured out a problem, or that I want to find an opportunity to ask General Pei in person."

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "If you have any problems with General Su, please raise them as much as possible and we will discuss and solve them."

"Actually, there is nothing to discuss." Su Jinhui sighed and said, "I just want to know, General Pei thinks this war is meaningful to us? The new address of this website has been changed to: Exorcist, please log in to read if you delete it!

"Significance?" Pei Chengyi asked back, without rushing to express his opinion.

"As we all know, General Pei is the most talented general of our army, Su Jinhui, glanced at Pei Chengyi. After a turn of the subject, he said, "Although as soldiers, we have no reason to interfere in politics, and even do not need to interfere in politics, as soldiers who defend our country, we must know why we are fighting. Over the years, we have fought many wars, and it is undeniable that many of them are closely related to national interests, which are wars that we have to fight and must win, such as the Peninsula War. Even if some of these wars seem to have nothing to do with our national interests, they are actually related to our future.

For example, the Indian War. As soldiers of the Republic, we have the obligation to win these wars. The problem is that the Middle East is 108,000 miles away from us, and there is no valuable resources needed, nor a huge market that can bring us benefits. More importantly, after the previous few years of efforts, we have gained a say in the Middle East, not only gained Saudi resources, but also occupied the high-end market in the region. Is it necessary to use the lives of thousands or even tens of thousands of Republican soldiers to help some countries that are not closely related to us to win a war without much meaning?"

After listening patiently, Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "General Su, this question is not something I can answer."

Su Jinhui frowned, as if he didn't understand what Pei Chengyi meant.

"General Su also said that we don't need to worry about politics. No matter what, war is the continuation of politics, or the highest form of political struggle. As soldiers, our responsibility is to win the war. As for why we fight, it is not a question we should care about."

"The problem is, as commanders, we must know whether to fight for it.

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly inwardly. After many years of appearance, Su Jinhui is still the same.

When Su Jinhui was commanding the decay army to attack Seoul on the Peninsula battlefield, he was like this now. He had to figure out all the problems, which made Pei Chengyi, the then commander of the front line, very unhappy and could not even get out of the stage. In the end, Xiang Yinghui had to come forward to solve the problem. In fact, this is also the most common personality of soldiers. He had to check on all problems and would never give up halfway. The problem is that over the years, Su Zhihui could not have changed nothing.

Seeing Pei Chengyi's look like he was not easy to speak, Su Jinhui breathed out and said, "I understand General Pei's meaning. As a commander, we shouldn't ask too many questions. In fact, I can't ask such questions to the head of state. I just want to know General Pei's thoughts."

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly, still feeling it was difficult to escape.

"No matter what, after I accept the appointment, we are all ants on the same line." Su Jinhui knew what Pei Chengyi was worried about, so he said very directly, "Before you arrived, I had already talked with Lao Li and would go to Damascus after the meeting. That is to say, from now on, I will be your subordinate. No matter what, when commanding the southern front, I hope to know clearly whether there is any need to fight to the death."

Pei Chengyi glanced at Su Jinhui and heard the implication of Su Jinhui's words.

Su Jinhui lit a second cigarette and waited for Pei Chengyi to speak.

"Mom Yong doubts, we are really trying hard." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "We are all a little bit clear about the strategic matters. Although the Middle East is 100,800 miles away from us, and the oil there is no longer the most valuable strategic resource, as a crossroads of the world, the strategic value of the Middle East has not decreased. In a sense, the Middle East is the springboard for us to move towards the world."

Su Jinhui nodded slightly and continued to smoke without saying a word.

"Before we became a superpower, the strategic value of the Middle East was not reflected. The key reason was that the world contradictions before this were a contradiction between Western countries, or a contradiction between Western countries and Russia, rather than a contradiction between two completely different civilizations." Pei Chengyi did not expect to see Su Jinhui so soon, so many things had to be temporarily considered. "On the observation of our surrounding situation, we can find that the door to the Pacific East has been opened, but the United States has already gained a foothold from Guam, the Philippines, Australia and other places. Unless we plan to confront the United States head-on and use a large-scale war to determine who is the overlord of the Pacific, we can only temporarily give up the pace of moving eastward. In fact, our navy is far inferior to the United States, and its ocean-going combat capabilities are not as good as the United States, so in the short term, it is impossible to advance eastward, and it is impossible to focus on the Pacific."

Su Jinhui still didn't speak because Pei Chengyi hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Going south requires dealing with the Philippines and Australia. These two countries are important allies of the United States. Maybe the United States will abandon the Philippines, but it will definitely not abandon Australia, so the results of going south and advancing east are not much different.

The same goes for going north. When we have to concentrate our efforts to deal with the threat from the United States, there is no reason to offend Russia. In fact, even if we have established a strategic defense system that is enough to fight against nuclear powers, because Russia is bordering our country, so as long as we are unwilling to bear the losses caused by nuclear war, it is impossible to attack Russia. If I were the commander of Russia, I would definitely not use thousands of nuclear warheads to strike the Republic, but would fire all nuclear warheads into low-Earth orbit.

All artificial orbital facilities including the International Space Station and the Qionglou Space Station. Not to mention, the cost of the Qionglou Space Station is as high as trillions. With our military satellites and civilian satellites, the value of all space orbit equipment must exceed 20 trillion, which is equivalent to our annual national output value, and we will definitely not be able to bear such huge losses. The United States, the European Union, and even Russia cannot afford such losses, so we have no reason to provoke Russia."

"So, is this the motivation to interfere in Middle Eastern affairs?"

"We can't talk about the motivation," Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "Although as a soldier, I don't know much about the economy, as the supreme commander of the Indian War, I have reason to believe that the great value of that war is money, or that hundreds of thousands of Republican soldiers were used for the economy. From the development of the country over the years, it can also be seen that based on East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia, our country's economy can develop rapidly. In the long run, as the population gradually decreases, in about 30 years, our country's population will decrease to less than 700 million, which is basically the same as the United States. By then, the population of the region we control now will exceed 6 billion, accounting for about half of the total global population. Mu Yong doubts that carefully managing the largest market in the world will definitely guarantee a 700 million republic.

Citizens live the most comfortable life in the world. The question is, how many resources are needed for such a huge market? It is obvious that half of Asia's resources are far from meeting the needs of the future. As the leading country of the entire region, we have the obligation to provide sufficient resources for this huge market, and we have the obligation to occupy more resources. Combined with the previous analysis, if we cannot make the idea of ​​Russia and Australia, we can only focus on the distant Africa and South America. In fact, South America is too far away from us, and even if Argentina is our ally, it will be difficult for us to confront the United States in South America in the short term. To put it bluntly, if we are too proactive in South America, it will force Brazil and other countries to invest in the arms of the United States."

"In other words, you can only enter Africa?"

Pei Chengyi nodded and said, "Relatively speaking, Africa is the most ideal situation. Apart from Egypt in the north, South Africa at the southern end, there is no truly decent power in Africa. Even Sudan and Nigeria, which have developed rapidly in the past twenty years, are not considered regional powers. To put it simply, Africa is just deleted. 4 Baran We have controlled the northern coast of the Indian Ocean. "Shen Nu Jiao Ri still controls the eastern coast of the Indian Ocean. In other words, the Indian Ocean is not our inland sea for the time being. From a long-term perspective, if we want to enter the African continent, we must never ignore the Middle East, and we must even find ways to control the Middle East."

Su Jinhui frowned slightly and did not refute Pei Chengyi's point of view.

"If we are ordinary soldiers, we don't need to consider these issues." Pei Chengyi paused for a moment and said, "The problem is that we are senior generals, people between soldiers and politicians, so we must consider these issues. I believe that General Su has also considered these issues, and I have to go deeper into the process."

Su Jinhui smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that it is impossible to hide it from General Mu."

Pei Chengyi smiled and waited for Su Jinhui to continue talking.

"As General Pei said, I did think about it, and it was very thoughtful." Su Jinhui said with a sigh, "The Middle East is indeed very important, but what I can't understand is that since it is so important, we should be careful in management, rather than placing the future of the country and nation like gamblers on a war. In any case, the Middle East is too far away from us, so far that our military power is greatly affected. General Pei has commanded several wars and knows war better than me.

This time we have made such a big fanfare, which shows that the scale of the war will not be much smaller. In other words, the logistics burden is extremely heavy. No matter what, our army's logistics support capabilities are still problematic. Not to mention investing tens of thousands of combat troops, even if it invests tens of thousands of troops, whether sufficient logistics support can be provided is a problem."

"General Su means that we will lose this war?"

Su Jinhui hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since General Pei mentioned this problem, I don't want to keep anything. I think we chose the most wrong way from the beginning. It is undeniable that if we want to change the strategic pattern of the Middle East, the most direct way is war, or this is the only way. The key is that we just fought the largest regional war since World War II in South Asia, and it was burdened with a burden of 1.7 billion people. More importantly, in the past twenty years, our country has experienced too many wars. To put it bluntly, even during the Cold War of the United States and the Soviet Union, the United States experienced more than half a century than the war we experienced in twenty-five years. To put it bluntly, we have been under great pressure enough. I am afraid no one can tell whether we can continue to move forward under the pressure."

"Have General Su considered that our Middle East policy is not as simple as imagined."

Su Jinhui's brows jumped a few times, as if he had been waiting for Pei Chengyi's words.

"It is undeniable that we have indeed experienced too many wars. We are not afraid of General Su's jokes. If there were no such wars, we would not be who I am now." Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "As General Su said, war may be the only way to solve the problem. The difference is that I do not think we have only this choice. From the beginning, our Middle East policy was completely different from those of Western countries. I believe General Su is also paying attention to relevant news. The Prime Minister's trip to the Middle East just explains the problem. In any case, the Middle East is the Middle East for the Middle East. Just like India, we do not need to occupy and control the Middle East. In fact, if we follow the US method and achieve the ultimate goal of checking and balancing Arab countries by supporting a certain hostile force, such as Iran, then our Middle East policy will definitely end in failure. As the saying goes, no profit can be achieved early. If we cannot let many Arab countries see a brighter prospect, why should they change their rules?"

"General Pei means, are we seeking benefits for the Arab countries?"

"From the current perspective, the interests of Arab countries are our interests. Only a unified and powerful Arab world can become our ally and challenge the United States with us and rewrite the world situation. In fact, only a powerful Arab world can become our strong backing for our entry into the African continent. More importantly, at present, this is the only way we can challenge the United States in the Middle East."

Su Jinhui nodded slightly and said, "So, we can only advance but not retreat, we can only win but not lose."

"We can do so, but it does not mean that we must win, Pei Chengyi knew what Su Jinhui wanted to ask, so he didn't say much nonsense. "No matter what, the matter of the Arab countries is the matter of the Arabs. In the final analysis, the Middle East War is also the war of the Arabs. In a sense, the foundation for the unification of the Arab world has not been formed, and in order to unite several countries, it is definitely necessary to have one or two churches. In fact, the Prime Minister's visit to the Middle East countries at this time has left us a way out."

Su Jinhui glanced at Pei Chengyi, moved his lips a few times, but finally he refused to say it.

Seeing Su Jinhui's eagerness to speak but stopping, Pei Chengyi smiled and said, "To put it directly, that is, we are very likely to lose this war."

"If I had known I would have lost, I would have to do it."

“Sometimes, failure is the real victory.”
