This is completely a kind of passion and fanaticism that most ordinary people cannot imagine.
That night, Beihai Province, which had been quiet and silent since Wang Tianzong disappeared, was constantly agitated, like a giant standing up from the trough, gathering its most powerful power in the roar.
The Beihai Navy Regiment consists of more than 200,000 troops.
A cold and iron-blooded atmosphere enveloped the entire Beihai Province.
The elite soldiers are endless, as if they want to fill every street and alley in every city in Beihai Province.
Fights of various sizes continue to break out.
The entire Beihai Province has ushered in the largest cleanup in recent decades.
Tiandu Purgatory, Heroes Association, South American Chiang Kai-shek, Hayate Sword Style, Holy See, and even the Eastern Imperial Palace which has just started to formalize.
Most of the other forces lurking in Beihai Province were uprooted overnight.
The missile dragged a long tail of flames roaring in the air, raging in the deep sea, and the city began to be stained with blood.
All members of the North Sea Regiment are showing their strength and attitude with an extremely determined attitude.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, nearly 800 lurkers from various major forces were sent to the Imperial Army Mountain with their bodies covered with bruises.
Countless forces are trying to contact Wang Shengxiao, intending to use profits to redeem their senior intelligence personnel. This was originally a tacit understanding among the major forces in the dark world, but Wang Shengxiao directly broke the rules. He refused all communication requests. Sword Qi
Flying across the platform, intelligence officers from different forces were cut to pieces one by one by sword light. The corpses of nearly a thousand people were thrown directly into the Beihai behind the platform. The blood spread on the sea level and slapped on the cliff.
The waves above seemed to be the color of blood.
The recruitment order from the Beihai Regiment has been officially issued to every corner of the Beihai Province in the dark.
The Northern Marine Corps plans to recall all veterans who have served in the Northern Marine Corps in the past fifteen years, and has a series of plans to recruit new recruits.
The wind is surging.
The whole world is in turmoil.
In the center of all the storms, Wang Shengxiao threw the body of the next intelligence officer off the Xiongxiong Terrace, and the entire Imperial Army Mountain fell into silence again.
He sat quietly on the hero stage, covered in blood, but his whole aura became quieter and quieter.
The soldiers belonging to the Northern Navy Regiment on the platform retreated one by one.
Then there are the internal security forces.
In the end, even the masters like Enchantress retreated.
Wang Shengxiao didn't move, just looked at the turbulent sea in the distance.
Missiles one after another exploded into a sky-filling flame in the distance, like bright fireworks.
The night is getting darker.
On the sea surface below the platform, the smell of blood slowly dissipated.
Facing the cold sea breeze, Wang Shengxiao sat on the Xiongxiong Terrace all night.
When the darkness gradually dissipated, he stood up slowly, looked at the hazy morning light in the sky and earth, turned around silently, and left the Xiongxiong Terrace.
A squadron of fighter planes flew over the Imperial Army Mountain at low altitude and entered the North Sea.
The roar of the engine caused a wave of sound.
Wang Shengxiao raised his head and looked at the fighter plane that was gradually retreating, and pursed his lips tightly.
It seemed that until this moment, he truly realized that after giving up countless mutual disputes and compromises, no matter how glorious the Beihai Wang family was before, no matter how powerful the Beihai Wang family is now, under his decision-making, the current Beihai Wang family
...
There are no trump cards left.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked down the Imperial Arms Mountain.
...
"this era..."
"There's going to be a war!!!"
A high and clear voice echoed in the somewhat dark office. In the long silence, a hand reached over and slowly closed the laptop.
The office was filled with smoke.
He opened the window, and fresh air blew in with a hint of coldness.
There is a silvery white outside the window.
The fluttering snowflakes filled the sky of Asuka City.
"What do you think?"
Amidst some deep sounds, Wang Qinglei was also smoking on the big screen.
"Smart thing to do, stupid thing to do."
Wang Xiaoyao turned around, looked at Wang Qinglei, shook his head and said: "It's not easy to handle."
Wang Qinglei put out the cigarette butt, couldn't help but light up another cigarette, and said gloomily: "The little guy put himself in the position of the victim, which is equivalent to winning over the people. He did a good job after he went back. During this time, Beihai
It was really frustrating. He expelled Di Jiang, captured Su Xinghe, and simply and decisively cleaned up all the exposed weaknesses of the Wang family in Beihai, and then started to fight back. Now that Beihai's morale is high, you should not have let him go at all at that time.
Return to Central Continent!"
"After I detain the person, within three days, my sister-in-law will come here in person to ask for the person."
Wang Xiaoyao said lightly: "I am not her opponent now."
"Now what?"
Wang Qinglei took a deep breath and suppressed his agitated mood: "At this time, being so strong will probably make us very passive."
He's talking about us.
The so-called us refers to him and Wang Xiaoyao.
"What does the parliament say?"
Wang Xiaoyao suddenly asked: "There should be a meeting, right?"
"I haven't received the notification yet, but it will probably be tomorrow. The president is at the military building right now and has summoned all officers above the lieutenant general level to study the situation."
Wang Qinglei shook his head. At this time, the nine directors of Central Continent should have already expressed their anger with each other. In the face of a possible war, the attitude of the entire military is more important than that of ordinary members, especially in this sensitive situation.
"Study the situation?"
Wang Xiaoyao sneered: "Is there anything else that needs to be studied? It is now clear that they are going to kill the fish and defeat the net. They are forced into a desperate situation. If he can put himself to death and survive, will Zhongzhou dare?"
"This is not a question of whether you dare or not."
Wang Qinglei frowned and smiled bitterly.
Whether to go to war or not is certainly not a question of whether we dare or not, or even whether we can, or whether we are willing.
For Central Continent, war has never been an option in this game.
Political games are not grudges.
To put it another way, this is art, the art of balance and compromise.
Zhongzhou just wants to take over the dominance of the Wang family in Beihai. This is the most important thing.
It’s not that I’ll beat you to death if you dare to fight me. Those who think this way will never reach a high-level position. Top-level people are always pursuing balance. This is a basic principle. In this principle, they will strive for
Maximum benefit.
To put it bluntly, what if a war breaks out and the entire Beihai is wiped out?
It's meaningless. If Beihai is destroyed, Zhongzhou will get nothing. If we can't win, the consequences will be endless. If we win, it will be the same situation. This option simply cannot exist.
So when Wang Shengxiao made it clear that he would not hesitate to fight to the death, Zhongzhou would definitely take a step back to achieve a new balance.
This is where Wang Shengxiao is smart.
And his so-called stupidity is because this step is too tough. Zhongzhou will choose to compromise, but it is impossible to give up Beihai. As the strongest hegemonic country in the world, Zhongzhou cannot accept threats. Now Wang Shengxiao's step can make Zhongzhou give in.
, but after the strength, Beihai is destined to pay more benefits for it.
Wang Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Qinglei.
If the guess is correct, in order to regain a balance that satisfies all parties, the Southeast Group may have to shrink in size, and in order to stabilize the situation, this may directly harm Wang Qinglei's interests.
But in Wang Xiaoyao's view, no matter what, this damages the overall strength of the Wang family in Beihai.
Is this stupid?
Wang Xiaoyao had a headache. In his opinion, Wang Shengxiao was still too young.
"You're too hasty."
He slowly said: "No matter who sits in the position of clan leader, the fundamental interests of the Beihai Wang clan must be safeguarded."
"Now do you think the little guy is doing things like he cares about this?"
Wang Qinglei's tone was a little excited.
"So you are too impatient. If you didn't force him to do anything, why would he be like this?"
Wang Xiaoyao glanced at him.
Wang Qinglei smoked heavily and was silent for a long time.
"Do you think I have a choice?"
After a long time, Wang Qinglei took a deep breath and said dullly: "Ye Dongsheng has been making a lot of moves within the group recently, and I can't help but be nervous."
Wang Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes.
Military God Ye Dongsheng.
This is Wang Tianzong's close friend and one of the leaders with deep roots in the Southeast Group. Wang Shengxiao and Wang Yuetong spent some time in Youzhou when they were young, and stayed at Ye Dongsheng's house in those years. Based on this alone,
You can see the deep personal relationship between Ye Dongsheng and Wang Tianzong.
Wang Xiaoyao had a very good relationship with him before, but after he came to Eastern Europe, the two never had any personal contact again.
"He wants a spot?"
Wang Xiaoyao was silent for a while, then said with a half-smile.
"Wherever there is a position for him, it's either his or mine. How can we still snatch Wen Siyuan's position?"
Wang Qinglei said dullly.
Wang Xiaoyao nodded, somewhat understanding.
The Wang family of Beihai is closely connected with the Southeast Group. The two existed in Central Continent at exactly the same time. The Southeast Group has also experienced its heyday and decline. For hundreds of years, when the Southeast Group was at its peak, the Central Continent Council had seven directors.
Four of them came from the Southeast Group, but during the period of decline, only one of the nine directors came from the Southeast Group.
And this quota jumps from the position of Beihai Speaker to the highest level.
For example, Wan Qingyun, the current Vice President of Zhongzhou, was the Speaker of Beihai before.
In other words, every time the parliamentary list changes, the speaker of Beihai is destined to be on the list of directors. This is also an important means for the Beihai Wang family to consolidate its foundation.
The current Southeast Group is not weak, but it is not at its peak either. It is just one of the stronger groups among the six major groups. There are still two years until the next parliamentary reshuffle. Some positions have already been vaguely concluded. Veteran directors such as Li Huacheng and Chen Fangqing
will retire, Dongcheng Wudi will stay in office, and within the Southeast Group, there will be two seats to become parliamentary directors in the next term. Beihai Speaker Wen Siyuan will become one of the nine directors, and the other one, according to normal development, should be Speaker Wu Yue
Wang Qinglei, Wang Qinglei's ability and Wu Yue's status are enough for him to go a step further and take over Wan Qingyun's current position. However, as the turmoil of the Wang family in Beihai continues, Zhongzhou's aggressiveness and Wang Qinglei's preparations, the current patriarchal line of the Beihai Wang family and the Southeast Group
Apparently some senior officials had other ideas.
Ye Dongsheng's recent actions are a signal that makes Wang Qinglei extremely uneasy.
Wen Siyuan's position is difficult to shake. There is only one spot left, which is a direct competition between Wang Qinglei and Ye Dongsheng.
Facing Ye Dongsheng, even Wang Qinglei felt a lot of pressure, so he had to take measures. This is also an important reason why Wang Shengxiao was so strong tonight, even risking death.
Wang Xiaoyao was sitting behind his desk, looking at Feixue outside the window, and suddenly asked: "Which position does Ye Shuai want? Dongcheng's invincible position, he can't get it, the opponent's position is still very stable."
"The next level up, he should still be Dongcheng Wudi's deputy."
Wang Qinglei said slowly.
No matter who moves up a level between him and Ye Dongsheng, he will always hold the title of vice president.
But the key point is that in Zhongzhou, if it is just a simple title of vice president without other positions, even if it is not a decoration, it will not have any real power. The actual job of the current vice president Wan Qingyun can be said to be in charge of human resources in Zhongzhou.
An important candidate to check and balance the power of the president and lead the direction of the ministry. With this power, it is the real power.
director.
If Wang Qinglei goes further, he should succeed Wan Qingyun now, and strive to become the deputy minister of the military before the next reshuffle, establishing his position as the crown prince.
If Ye Dongsheng wants to go further and take up the position of vice president, he should also serve as deputy minister of the military. He cannot replace Dongcheng Wudi. Going further in the level will further constrain Dongcheng Wudi's power, especially now that Li Tianlan has risen.
Under the circumstances, if Dongcheng Wudi completely controls the military headquarters, the future situation will really not be friendly to the Southeast Group at all.
But if it is Ye Dongsheng who goes up this time, Wang Qinglei is almost equivalent to being abandoned by the Southeast Group. It will be difficult to hope for a comeback in the future, which will have a great impact on the layout of the Southeast Group.
Therefore, at present, there are people who support Ye Dongsheng and Wang Qinglei. This also means that Wang Qinglei's status is unstable and he cannot be in a hurry.
"What do you say about those missiles?"
Wang Xiaoyao asked.
"The planned range of the missiles was shorter, and they all landed in the North Sea. However, the nearest one, less than ten nautical miles away from Liaodong, was a conventional missile. The issue was suppressed by Liaodong Speaker Bai Qingqian."
Wang Qinglei said gloomily.
If this problem is really suppressed, it is not impossible. It is not even a sea area issue. After all, the North Sea is also a part of Central Continent. The sea areas of Central Continent are also the sea areas of the Beihai Province. What kind of problem is detonating some missiles at sea?
The question is why Bai Qingqian pressed down.
"The cooperation between the group and Dongcheng Wudi should not be so close."
Wang Xiaoyao frowned: "There are some problems here. Find an opportunity to get in touch with the other party. Looking at it now, Dongcheng Wudi's attitude is crucial."
Wang Qinglei was thoughtful, thought for a while, then nodded and said: "I'll try."
...
The meeting at the Zhongzhou Military Headquarters Building ended late at night.
When Li Huacheng returned to Yinlonghai from the military department, Prime Minister Chen Fangqing was already sitting in his office. When he saw him entering, Chen Fangqing stood up, skipped the politeness and asked directly: "How is it?"
Li Huacheng shook his head, took a sip of water from his tea cup, leaned on the chair, and sighed.
Chen Fangqing suddenly frowned, hesitated, and asked, "What went wrong?"
"Dongcheng Wudi's attitude is not very clear."
Li Huacheng said bluntly.
He and Chen Fangqing knew very well that as the situation developed now, they would definitely have to make certain concessions. But in the face of such a strong Beihai, even if they made concessions, the military could not act like nothing happened.
The military must take a tough stance.
This meeting is about this issue.
But Dongcheng Wudi's attitude is extremely subtle. He agrees in principle to give Beihai a tough warning, but he does not agree in the name of the military, but in the name of the parliament. From another perspective, the so-called agreement in principle is meaningless at all.
, this is equivalent to Dongcheng Wudi kicking the ball back to the parliament and asking the parliament to come to a conclusion.
"Why?"
Chen Fangqing raised his eyebrows: "The cooperation between them should be limited to Li Tianlan. If Dongcheng Wudi really has such an attitude, it would mean full cooperation between both parties. What's the reason?"
"have no idea."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "But it's not all because of Li Tianlan."
"Um?"
Chen Fangqing looked at Li Huacheng inquiringly.
"I mentioned Li Tianlan's matter to him tonight. Before the meeting started, I hoped that the military would make a strong response. I even proposed that Li Tianlan take a trip to Beihai in the near future. It is impossible for him not to understand what I meant, but
He refused."
Li Huacheng said lightly.
Chen Fangqing took a deep breath, and her face became a little solemn.
Li Huacheng asked the military department to give the Beihai Wang family a stern warning, and even asked Li Tianlan to lead a team to Beihai. This intention was already obvious. In order to suppress the Beihai Wang family's arrogance and give Wang Shengxiao a beating, he was willing to let Li Tianlan go.
Come out, expose the matter in Tiannan, and put pressure on the Wang family in Beihai from another angle. This means that Li Tianlan can return to Tiannan as long as he takes a trip to Beihai.
Such conditions were offered, but Dongcheng Wudi refused.
He actually would rather let Li Tianlan stay in the desert prison temporarily than help the Wang family in Beihai.
What is this for?
"At times like this..."
The two looked at each other, both confused.
Beihai's Wang family's toughness at this time can be said to have violated a big taboo. Wang Shengxiao forced the parliament to take a step back. After becoming strong, Beihai would inevitably make huge concessions. Dongcheng Wudi was willing to support Beihai, and it was impossible to be tough to the end. There would also be compromises.
This kind of compromise may be a few valuable positions in the wealthy group, or even more benefits.
If he raises a hand here, he is harming the interests of the wealthy group.
"Moreover, the missiles launched from the North Sea are very close to Liaodong, but the Liaodong provincial government has not reported this situation so far. It seems to have been suppressed."
Li Huacheng said softly.
Chen Fangqing took a deep look at Li Huacheng.
Liaodong.
That was the place where Li Huacheng once worked, and it was once regarded as the back garden of the academic community.
Bai Qingqian has been the Speaker of Liaodong for less than one term, but he has already taken control of the situation in Liaodong?
And her actions represent more than just Dongcheng Wudi. Although she is Dongcheng Wudi's wife, she is also Bai Zhanfang's daughter.
In other words, Bai Qingqian and the Bai family also agreed to support the Beihai Wang family and let Li Tianlan stay in the desert temporarily?
Even at the expense of part of the interests of the wealthy group?
Chen Fangqing took a deep breath and lit a cigarette. White smoke rose and swirled like a fog. All the situations became confusing in the fog. He shook his head and whispered: "Dongcheng Wudi...what are you thinking about?"
