Li Huacheng lowered his head, quietly looking at the increasingly desolate landscape below, and suddenly asked: "What do you think of the result this time?"
Opposite him, Zhongzhou Prime Minister Chen Fangqing was sitting quietly, reading today's new newspaper. When he heard Li Huacheng's question, he was stunned, subconsciously shook his head, pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "It's hard to say."
"You don't like it?"
Li Huacheng said slowly.
The two men's special plane departed from Youzhou today, landed in northern Xinjiang, headed for the military area, and then took a helicopter to the desert prison. This was the first time they discussed the upcoming conversation along the way.
"There is nothing promising or not. He may agree or refuse. It just depends on what he wants. Frankly speaking, his rise is too fast. It is simply a straight line. Even if he is trapped in the desert now, it will not do anything to him.
What influence? We know too little about him to judge his heart and mind."
Chen Fangqing shook his head and suddenly said: "If it were Li Honghe, no, even if Li Honghe was still alive, our negotiation success rate would have increased a lot. Unfortunately, Mr. Li left too early."
Li Huacheng was silent.
Li Honghe's life can definitely be called an upright one. He may have owed everything to everyone, but he is worthy of protecting Central Continent. He is the best God of War in Central Continent in the past hundred years. Even during the more than 20 years of the decline of the Li family, he has still
Some old people with the Li family are guarding the border of Zhongzhou. He has dedicated the first half or even most of his life to Zhongzhou. There is no doubt about his loyalty to the country. If he is still alive, they will not even need to make such a big show of this negotiation.
As long as you do the work of getting through Li Honghe, most of the things will be done.
And now that Li Honghe has fallen, a broken but crazily rising Li family has reappeared in the hands of Li Tianlan. In general, there is no need to doubt Li Tianlan's position. From this point of view, even the Wang family in Beihai
Neither position needs to be doubted.
They are definitely on the side of Central Continent.
But neither Li Huacheng nor Chen Fangqing wanted this.
Or rather it's more than just this.
Therefore, no one can say for sure what Li Tianlan will choose in this negotiation.
"Wang Qinglei's proposal yesterday was very interesting."
Chen Fangqing suddenly said thoughtfully: "President, how much of his proposal do you think is for balancing considerations, and how much is for Beihai?"
"Most of it should be for balance. Beihai, how can he care about Beihai now? And as long as he agrees to cooperate with us, our plan will be successful, Beihai will
He can't run away, he knows that very well. As for his proposal."
Li Huacheng paused.
Chen Fangqing did not speak, but looked at Li Huacheng quietly. His eyes were quiet and there was no unnecessary expression on his face.
Li Huacheng subconsciously shifted his gaze and said calmly: "That was what I meant originally. We have been engaged in politics and balance for a lifetime. With Li Tianlan's current future and status, how can it be so easy to convince him? If he agrees
If he loses us, he will lose something, so we must let him gain something. A small amount of benefit cannot satisfy his appetite."
He spoke very slowly, and at the end, his voice became softer, as if he wanted to persuade Chen Fangqing.
Chen Fangqing was silent for a while and said softly: "President, I can understand your approach, but I'm afraid some comrades won't agree."
Li Huacheng smiled.
The other person said this very tactfully.
Other comrades not only disagree, but if he makes his ideas public now, Chen Fangqing may give him limited support on this matter, but most people in the Prince Group will probably oppose them with all their strength, and he will also suffer greatly by then.
pressure.
Li Huacheng closed his eyes and sighed, feeling a little tired.
"And you?"
he asked slowly.
"I personally agree with your behavior in principle."
Chen Fangqing nodded. He did not hesitate at all on this matter: "As the God of War of Central Continent, Gu Xingyun has indeed not shown the bearing and demeanor of Central Continent for more than 20 years. He is not qualified.
.”
“But it’s not too bad.”
Li Huacheng said: "It's because Beihai is so sharp."
"Just change it."
Chen Fangqing remained calm.
Li Huacheng sat there, thought for a long time, and then said softly: "Prime Minister, do you think we did something wrong?"
"How can there be any right or wrong in this kind of thing?"
Chen Fangqing laughed.
"Recently, the direction of domestic public opinion has changed too quickly. Many people think that Beihai is innocent. In fact, from my standpoint and from Zhongzhou's standpoint, Beihai has indeed done nothing wrong. They are not ashamed of Zhongzhou, even
It is meritorious, but their existence is too dangerous, or their freedom is too dangerous. Hey, Beihai Province has brought us too many benefits for hundreds of years, but the Beihai Wang family is like a star.
There is a bomb that can explode at any time. No force in the world has nuclear weapons, but the Wang family in Beihai does. Such a force is enough to make any president sleepless. It is okay when the situation is calm, but what if? Like this
Just in case, even if it's one in a million
, no one is willing to bear this kind of risk."
"It's just that the Wang family in Beihai is too powerful. It has been glorious for hundreds of years and has always stood at the top. For such a long time, there have been several large-scale chaos in Beihai, but they have the Li family around them, and they have always been there.
The Li family! This may be the most successful alliance in history. Every time the Beihai Wang family faced huge internal worries, the Li family would stand up to protect the Beihai Wang family and help them survive the crisis, so that many people in power
I couldn’t even find any chance.”
"And now..."
Li Huacheng shook his head: "No, not just now, you and I both know that some plans actually started more than twenty years ago. When the Li family just declined, Zhongzhou secretly arranged something against the Wang family in Beihai.
, but at that time, the Beihai Wang family was still strong, but now, the opportunity has come."
"This time the Beihai Wang family still has internal troubles, but no one is helping them to fend off foreign troubles. They don't have the Li family by their side. Under such circumstances, I really don't want Li Tianlan and the Li family to stand by their side again."
"Only when we master the Wang Family in Beihai, can Central Continent truly have no hidden dangers and be truly safe. Nuclear weapons are the bottom line of Beihai, but even if we take away their so-called bottom line, they will still be the world's leading superpower. Why?
They just can’t figure it out?”
Chen Fangqing was silent for a long time, then chuckled: "Maybe because of the sense of security."
"sense of security?"
Li Huacheng raised his eyebrows.
"With nuclear weapons in their hands, they have a sense of security, but we don't, and vice versa."
Chen Fangqing said: "This kind of contradiction cannot be reconciled."
Li Huacheng lit a cigarette and smoked silently.
"This is not an issue we should consider. Beihai is right and so are we. We just have different positions."
Chen Fangqing said: "What you should consider is yourself."
He looked at Li Huacheng with complicated eyes: "Once you want Li Tianlan to gain something, you can imagine the pressure you will bear. I will retire next year. Even if you can be re-elected, my successor may not..."
He hesitated to speak, and finally said softly: "You understand what I mean, if that's really the case, your re-election won't even be able to protect the academy, and your reputation and even your fate will not be certain.
It would be great.”
Li Huacheng hummed, flicked the ashes from his cigarette, and laughed.
"so what?"
He shook his head: "Sitting in this position, I am the president of Zhongzhou, and I always have to do something for Zhongzhou."
