In China, Wang Shiqing still has no spare time. The old day is the art of the Kwai; the Cangti Congress will be held on the kuo day. Because Wang Yuanqing announced last year that he would not seek the third term, the first meeting of the second plenary congress this year will be held at the beginning of the month. New heads of state and new heads of government will be elected. Simply put, the Republic will usher in a ten-year regime change.

What surprised Jiao Kuishan was that when Wang Yuanqing returned to the capital, the first thing he saw was not Gu Weimin, Yan Jingyu, Ye Zhisheng and other central leaders, but asked him to call Li Cunxun over.

Who is Li Cunxun?

Although not many people have heard of the name "Li Cunxun", and even if they have heard of it, they cannot associate it with someone, but the whole world knows that the Military Intelligence Director is the most mysterious of the senior leaders of the Republic and has the greatest influence on the head of state. According to some information released by the Fourth Deletion, in the Japanese War and the Indian War, the Military Intelligence Director's suggestions and opinions directly affected Wang Yuanqing's strategic decisions. It can even be said that it was the information provided by the Military Intelligence Director who made Wang Weiqing make war decisions. In fact, this is understandable. In the United States, the Fourth Director plays the same role and uses intelligence to influence the president's strategic decisions. You must know that the United States brazenly launched the Afghan War and the Iraq War, and even the later Iran War, and the intelligence provided by the Iranian War played an extremely critical role.

To be fair and objective, compared with the Fourth Military Intelligence Bureau is much more low-key.

For a long time, how tall the Military Intelligence Bureau is in the Republic has not been known to the outside world and has not received much attention. It was not until July of the year Tian. Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin, Yan Jingyu, Ye Zhisheng, Yan Shanglong and other national leaders, Xiang Yinghui, Pei Chengyi, Lin Xiaolei, Zhang Zhongxian and other military leaders, as well as Ji Youguo, Zhao Rundong, Peng Maobang and other former national leaders went to the National Cemetery to attend the funeral of a former national leader named "Pan Yunsheng". The outside world had a better understanding of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The funeral specifications were very high, second only to the head of state. Wang Yuan

In his eulogy, Qing mentioned that he had devoted his life to the intelligence front for decades and made indelible great contributions to the country, nation and people. "This sentence alone is enough to prove Pan Yunsheng's identity. Three months later, a personal biography called "Silent Fighting and Remembrance of the Great Intelligence Warrior Pan Yunsheng" was officially published, unveiling Pan Yunsheng's identity and the mystery of the Military Intelligence Bureau. The book was sold in just two months, becoming one of the world's best-selling books in 20 years. It was this book that allowed more people to understand the Military Intelligence Bureau and the soldiers on the intelligence front.

The editor-in-chief of "Silent Fight" is Li Cunxun.

In the last two months of Pan Yunsheng's life, Li Cunxun was always by his side. Although Pan Yunsheng had children and Li Cunxun also had parents, in Li Cunxun's heart, Pan Yunsheng was not only his leader, but also like his father. On his dying day, Pan Yunsheng expressed his last wish.

Relying on the personal biography written by Pan Yunsheng after his retirement, Li Cunxun completed "Silent Fight" in three months.

According to Pan Yunsheng's last wish, Li Cunxun used the manuscript fee of the book to establish the "Intelligence Personnel Relatives Pension Fund" to fund the relatives of martyrs on the intelligence front, especially the orphans of martyrs.

How could Pan Yunsheng have such a last wish for success?

Li Cunxun knew very well that because he was the orphan of a martyr, his parents also died on the intelligence front.

In the next few months, Li Cunxun's condition has been not very good. Although as usual, he goes to and from get off work on time every day and actively handles various affairs of the Military Intelligence Bureau, everyone around him knows that Pan Yunsheng's death has hit him too hard. If someone thinks that intelligence personnel are super spies like the four in the movie, it would be a big mistake. Intelligence personnel are also human beings, flesh and blood people, and very rich people. In the words of Pan Yunsheng's teaching Li Cunxun, if they do not have deep feelings for the motherland, the nation, and the people, they are not an excellent intelligence personnel. The field work in recent years has allowed Li Cunxun to deeply understand the meaning of this sentence and also allowed him to have rich feelings.

When he arrived at the head of state, Li Cunxun returned to the state that the military intelligence director should have.

Compared with ordinary people, he has richer feelings and stronger self-control.

"How is the situation in the bureau?" Wang Yuanqing personally made a cup of tea for Li Cunxun. "Liu Xiaobin said that you have been working overtime for a while. Have you encountered trouble?"

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment, then said, "There is no trouble, I'm just bored and find something for myself."

"Is that true?" Wang Yuanqing took out a cigarette.

"I'll quit." Li Cunxun declined the head of state's kindness and picked up the teacup.

"It's a good thing to quit. After retirement, I should quit too." Wang Yuanqing hesitated for a moment, threw the cigarette box into the trash can, and said with a smile, "Why wait until after retirement? Let's quit now."

Li Cunxun was stunned again and shook his head with a smile.

"When I was in London, I talked with Theron alone for a few hours."

"Saizhi" Li Cunxun's brow jumped a few times and said, "Is Argentina ready to take action?"

"With this idea, my intention is clear, but I'm still a little hesitant."

"What does it mean?" Li Cunxun put down the teacup in his hand.

"According to my understanding, he has been completely disappointed in the negotiations." Wang Yuanqing vented his breath and said, "You also know that Argentina and the United Kingdom have been talking to each other for several years, but no results have been reached. Although compared with the rapid development of energy technology, the oil fields near the island of Mahara is no longer as important as before, Lin Muxun gave me a survey report last year. If this is true, the island of Maharaja will heat up again. If the UK's Qixin Xiaoyue talks with Argentina in an equal manner, Theron is likely to lose patience.

"I have also noticed this matter. In addition to Sanjian Group, there are several European resource companies in the survey near the Malay Island. Li Cunxun paused for a moment and said, "The survey results of Sanjian Group have not yet come out. The main reason is that the British government has not allowed Chinese companies to participate in the Malay Island survey work. Before you come back, I have asked Liu Xiaobin to pay attention to this matter. Maybe there will be definite news in a few days."

“How sure are you?.

Li Cunxun pondered for a while and said, "It is not certain yet. After all, this is related to the fate of the two countries. We cannot draw conclusions at will. It is just that judging from the situation in recent months, the problem is a bit complicated."

"What does it mean?" Wang Yuanqing continued to ask.

"There are five companies that conducted surveys in the waters of the Cambridge Island, only one British digital companies and one French company, and the other three are American companies. The news that came out some time ago was released by American companies. In other words, we cannot make conclusions based on the survey results of a few American companies just based on the survey results of several American companies. You must know that these American resource companies have a close relationship with the Four. Who can guarantee that this is not a trap set by the Four?"

“Is this possible?”

Li Cunxun nodded and said, "It is not only possible, but also very likely. The most important thing is, if this is the news that Si deliberately created, what is the intention of the United States? In my experience, we should stand by and watch before we figure out the intention of the United States.

Wang Yuanqing nodded slightly and did not ask any more questions.

Li Cunxun drank two sips of tea and didn't say much.

At the beginning of the century, the dispute over the Cabernet Island heated up again. At that time, the European oil exploration company claimed that it had discovered several large deep-sea oil fields with a total reserve of billions of tons in the waters near the Cabernet Island, with a potential economic value of hundreds of billions of dollars. As soon as the news came out, Argentina's relations with the UK took a sharp decline, but due to the influence of the international environment, Argentina has been seeking the sovereignty of the Cabernet Island in a peaceful way. On the shore of the exploration work, the reserves of the submarine oil fields exceeded 100 million tons, and the potential economic value of Gotha was hundreds of billions of dollars.

The issue of the ownership of the Falklands has once again become a hot topic in the world. Although Argentina repeatedly expressed its willingness to negotiate with Britain to resolve the Falklands dispute, Britain had no idea of ​​negotiating with Argentina. The direct consequence of this matter was that the Taming Yuguo visited Buenos Aires and met with the Argentine president. Then the Argentine government and the Republic signed a multi-billion-dollar military purchase contract. Stimulated by Argentina's vigorous expansion of military equipment, Britain adjusted its defense development plan without being outdone. Not only did it increase the number of "Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers" to three, but it changed the third "Duke of York" to a conventional take-off and landing aircraft carrier. Later, the same improvement was made to the first two, and the number of large ships such as nuclear submarines and air defense destroyers increased to the Danish.

"The British-Arc arms race is getting more and more intense. Before Pi Nian, Argentina purchased arms from the Republic with a total value of USD three times. Because the Republic agreed to Argentina to pay part of the payment by "barter", Western countries all accused the Republic of the Republic of deliberately creating the "English-Arab conflict." During this period, Britain also made every effort to improve its arms and concentrate its efforts to build a long-distance navy that can fight independently. The most representative one is that Britain is striking thugs. The most representative one is that Britain is striking thugs.

The Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier "Duke of York" that had just been in service for a few years was still under construction. The revenue from the sale of the three aircraft carriers and the new military funding to build a "super aircraft carrier with a standard displacement of 10,000 tons was used to build a "super aircraft carrier" with a standard displacement port of 10,000 tons. Later, this aircraft carrier was named "Eagle" and "Ark Royal". The abandonment of medium-sized aircraft carriers and procurement of large aircraft carriers shows that the UK will defend the sovereignty of the Horse Island at all costs and will never give in to Argentina.

It was not until the beginning of the year that the situation turned around.

It is the Republic that is busy dealing with the Peninsula war and has no time to take care of it, so it is unlikely that Argentina will provide full support. Although the Republic has never stopped its cooperation with Argentina, and even opened its own market to Argentina during the Great Depression, helping Argentina get out of the economic difficulties. Argentina is the country with the least impact of the global Great Depression, but when the Republic needs to concentrate its efforts to solve the surrounding problems, it will definitely not be able to provide too much assistance to Argentina on the Cabernet issue, and Argentina has to restrain itself.

Second, due to the impact of the Great Depression, Britain's economic development fell to the bottom, military expenditures were repeatedly reduced, and the plan to build a super navy had to be delayed again and again. More importantly, after Britain joined the euro zone, Britain was delisted, and the British government needed to concentrate on solving financial problems and domestic conflicts, and was unwilling to deal with the troubles in the South Atlantic. As the most important ally of Britain, the United States was also in trouble and did not want to cause new troubles, so it no longer pursued a unilateral policy that supported Britain, but instead used its status as an American country to act as a mediator of conflicts.

Third, with the maturity and promotion of controllable fusion nuclear power plants, the strategic and economic value of oil has been greatly reduced. According to optimistic estimates by some Western institutions, when used only for chemical production, the global oil, including heavy oil reserves, which are only used by human society for 34 years. If coal, natural gas, and global mineral and chemical raw materials are enough for all humans to use in the sea year. Compared with oil that is only enough for field year, coal and thugs of the year are only enough for field year. As chemical raw materials, oil charcoal and natural gas are not so high. International oil prices dived in the year of the tooth year and eventually fell to the point of decline, which is enough to show that the important thing is that the Ma Island is broken. If you ask for oil fields, the cost of mining is much higher than that of oil fields in the Middle East and heavy oil in Venezuela, there is almost no economic development value within the foreseeable decades.

Without ability and without temptation, the Cambodian crisis began to cool down.

The problem is that as long as there is a contradiction, there will definitely be a day when it breaks out.

At the end of the year, the "Standard Company" that explored the waters near Madarin Island suddenly announced that there may be a rare metal mine with a reserve of more than 10 tons in the waters near Madarin Island.

As soon as the news came out, the situation in the Cambodia Island suddenly heated up.

What is a rare metal ore?

If oil is the strategic resource of the Century of Power, then rare metal ores are the strategic resource of the Century. In the "electricity revolution" that promotes the rapid development of human civilization, several crucial products, such as composite batteries and superconducting motors, are rare metal ores. At the beginning, for the rare earth ore and rare metal ore in Laos, the Republic and the United States fought openly and secretly, causing chaos in Southeast Asia.

If there is really a rare metal mine with reserves of about Btn in the state in the waters near the Malay Island, not to mention that Argentina and the United Kingdom will break up, the Republic and the United States will not stand idly by.

After a while of silence, Wang Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "Your worries do make sense. The news came too suddenly and it was too coincidental."

Li Cunxun sighed and said, "This is also what I worry about the most. Standard Company has been conducting exploration activities near Ma Island for several years. It has not been discovered sooner or later. It has discovered rare metal minerals with amazing reserves shortly after the end of the Indian War. It is strange that there is no trick in it."

"The problem is, if there is, it's not a trivial matter."

Li Cunxun nodded, indicating that he understood the head of state.

As the United States gradually mastered the advanced production technology of composite batteries and superconducting motors, and made great progress in the field of controllable fusion nuclear power plants, the competition between the Republic and the United States has spread from the technology field to the resource field. It can even be said that the Republic was able to suppress the United States in cutting-edge fields, forcing the United States to make money on prices and compete with the Republic at a price that was almost lower than the cost, because the United States did not have the right to price resource, and rare earth ores and rare metal mines above the world were in the hands of the Republic's enterprises.

A rare metal ore with a reserve of Bt is enough to change the relationship between the Republic and the United States.

"Anyway, we can make the right decisions as soon as possible."

"No problem, I'm responsible for this matter myself."

"Also, the Argentine government will send a procurement team here, and you are responsible for security and confidentiality."

"Keep confidential?" Li Cunxun frowned slightly.

"According to Theron's meaning, in addition to purchasing arms, Argentina also needs our military assistance, especially military training. I want to hand over this matter to the General Staff. If it is not unexpected, Xiang Yinghui will send Pei Chengyi there. You also know the situation of the General Staff. For the next Chief of Staff, several generals were almost furious.

Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although Xiang Yinghui fully supports Pei Chengyi, the rules have been set long ago. The next chief of staff comes from the navy. Besides, military reform has just begun, and someone must come out to play a bad face. Pei Chengyi's political awareness is too high and he may not necessarily take the blame for the government. At this time, someone needs to bear the pressure. Lin Xiaolei is a more suitable candidate. Make arrangements and have the opportunity to talk to Pei Chengyi to let him know about the situation in Argentina."

Li Cunxun nodded and said nothing.

Another purpose of the head of state arrangement is even more important, that is, Pei Chengyi is famous, and only by letting him help Argentina establish a modern military and national defense system can the Republic highlight the degree of importance the Republic attaches to Argentina. From another perspective, sending Pei Chengyi over can help Argentina make up his mind. You must know that for the hesitant Argentina, a general who wins every battle is definitely more effective than a thug and four fighter jets.

"You are also responsible for military purchases. If you can sell them, you will not be a problem. The price is low." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "No matter what the final result is, it is not harmful to sell more arms. Also, remember to talk to Lin Muhua and ask her to provide after-sales service. Don't just sell the things. Argentina is our big customer. You must take good care of them and make the customer have the desire to buy again."

Li Cunxun also laughed. As the head of state, Wang Yuanqing actually cared about these trivial matters.

"By the way, have you decided to stay?"

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment and said, "First of the People's Republic of China, this"

"I know what you think. To be honest, I also believe that Liu Xiaobin is capable of managing the Military Intelligence Bureau well, but now is a special period. You also know that military reform and political reform are at key points. No matter who the next head of state is, you need a strong assistant. It's not that I look down on Liu Xiaobin. In this regard, one hundred Liu Xiaobins cannot surpass one Li Cunxun." Wang Yuanqing paused for a moment and said, "I didn't force you to stay, I just hope you think about it carefully. Of course, I can guarantee that if you work for another five years, when the situation stabilizes, you will do whatever you want, and you will never worry about the same thing again."

"I'll think about it again."

After observing Li Cunxun's expression, Wang Yuanqing didn't say anything more.
