Two days later, four low-key business cars drove into the compound of the National Bureau of Information. Gu Baishun, who was in charge of reception, got out of the car with Su Tiannan, Zhang Taotao, and the senior members of the Chinese Workers' Union.
Su Tianyu went out to greet them in person, but after seeing the people from the Chinese Workers' Union, he felt a little confused.
The other party's representative turned out to be Huang Peishan, who had a fierce conflict with Su Tianyu over the issue of Bana City, and even quarreled with each other in person, so the latter was a little surprised to see him.
However, no matter how unexpected it is, we must still do this face-saving job well.
Su Tianyu immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Long time no see, President Huang!"
"Haha, long time no see." Huang Peishan shook hands with Su Tianyu: "You look energetic again. I was right about you. You hold a high position, but you keep a low profile. Your future is limitless."
"No, no." When Su Tianyu saw that the other party was praising him, he replied very humbly: "I just run errands for the leader. It's not like I'm in a high position. Please go in!"
Both of them were experienced people, so they naturally would not mention the previous unpleasantness again. They all tacitly put the Bana City incident behind them.
Su Tianyu accompanied Huang Peishan on a tour of the National Bureau of Investigation and then went directly to the special restaurant on the top floor.
The scenery here is excellent, and you can have a panoramic view of the Long River through the floor-to-ceiling windows. It is a great place for Su Tianyu to entertain guests.
Gu Baishun invited everyone into the house. Su Tianyu, under the pretext of answering a phone call, winked at his eldest brother.
In the lounge opposite the restaurant, Su Tianyu pushed the door shut and asked softly, "Why did you bring Old Huang here?"
Su Tiannan collapsed when he heard this: "Damn it, he's the executive vice president, and he's in charge of external intelligence work. If he doesn't come, who will? He can't quit his job as vice president just because you two had a fight, right?"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Nowadays, everyone has status and position." Su Tiannan said with a smile: "The benefits of Bana City have been distributed long ago, and you haven't lost anything on our side. What should be done is done. And don't you want to deal with Wu Boxin? Old Huang has the resources."
"Oh, is that so." Su Tianyu chuckled and said, "I'm fine. I'm shameless and don't care about embarrassment at all. I'm just worried that Lao Huang will feel uncomfortable."
"Then don't worry, he will be even more shameless than you." Su Tiannan bared his teeth and said, "How can someone who organizes a group not have such basic skills?! You can talk as you want, no need to hug him."
"Yeah." Su Tianyu nodded and asked, "Do you agree with my proposal?"
"You mean the formation of a joint organization?"
"yes."
"Some people hold opposing views. They think the possibility of integration is very low. Moreover, if the organization becomes too big, it will definitely be strangled by the regional forces. This is a high risk for our relatively large-scale Chinese Workers' Union." Su Tiannan said softly: "But such opposition voices are in the minority. More people believe that integration is the only way. To become bigger and have a say, we have to expand our size and build our own armed forces. So the final result is still biased towards your proposal."
"That's fine." Su Tianyu nodded: "Isn't Old Huang from the opposition?"
"No, he is not." Su Tiannan immediately shook his head: "Old Huang supports the establishment of a joint organization. He saw your execution and armed forces in the Bana City incident, and he thinks it can be done. Anyway, we are not going to become one family right away, and we are all doing our own thing. Then the significance of keeping each other warm will be highlighted, and there won't be too many conflicts."
"Okay, then I know what you mean." Su Tianyu nodded with a smile.
"Let's go, let's go back." Su Tiannan called out.
Su Tianyu opened the door and said with a chuckle, "You came back this time, did you go home to see your second uncle and the others?"
"Well, I'll take Taotao back when I'm done."
"Haha, sure." Su Tianyu nodded: "Second uncle has always wanted to introduce you to a girl, but you refused. If you bring one home yourself, he will definitely be very happy."
The two brothers returned to the restaurant while chatting.
During the dinner, Huang Peishan and everyone chatted over drinks and talked about the plan to set up a joint organization to rescue Wu Boxin.
…
Longcheng, inside the Anxi military headquarters.
After An Zecheng finished his meal, he walked with his daughter in the small garden of the military headquarters.
"After Deputy Commander Xu retired, his position has been vacant. Old Tan has been fighting for three years, but has never received a letter of appointment." An Zecheng turned his head to look at his daughter and asked in a somewhat interrogative tone: "What do you think about this?"
"Dad, I don't really understand political matters." An Qiqi scratched her head and said with a frown, "But from my understanding, if Commander Tan wants to take this step, he has to make some noise."
An Zecheng picked up the watering can, looked at the plants in the flower bed and asked, "What should we do?"
"If there are problems along the border, the role of the garrison will become more prominent." An Qiqi blinked. "To put it simply, if the higher-ups feel that replacing Tan Hengqiang is too costly but they cannot do without him, then his position as deputy commander-in-chief will be secure."
An Zecheng nodded slowly: "That makes sense."
An Qiqi didn't notice his father's expression and continued softly, "But if the purpose of the war is just to make someone a commander, then it's too much of a joke...!"
"Haha." An Zecheng turned around and looked at his daughter, and said concisely: "Suppose that now there is a commotion on the border. Before the war, the upper echelons supported Tan Hengqiang and directly appointed him as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Chinese Corps. But after the war started, the upper echelons did not give you supplies or military funds, and Tan Hengqiang could not get absolute administrative support. What would be his fate?"
An Qiqi was stunned.
"You are Tan Hengqiang, what would you do?"
“The higher-ups won’t just watch Longcheng in danger and do nothing, right?” An Qiqi immediately retorted.
"Haha, the death of a few civilians and the sacrifice of a few soldiers, what does it matter to the regional politics?" An Zecheng said with a smile: "As long as the upper echelons strangle Tan Hengqiang, he will collapse within three months. The political form of Longcheng is the separation of military and politics. The reason why Lao Li temporarily has contact with Tan Hengqiang is to seek profit, but he can't really take money from his administrative wallet to support Tan Hengqiang in the war. The officers of the garrison need money and supplies... What can Tan Hengqiang give them? Once the food is cut off, these 50,000 or 60,000 troops will be dispersed at will."
An Qiqi was stunned.
An Zecheng pointed to his brain and whispered, "Whether you are dealing with military intelligence or politics, the chess player is most afraid of falling into the stage of self-identification, which will make his perspective very single. When considering a matter, it is best not to think about the feasibility first, but to think about the obstacles first. If your brain cannot support you in solving these obstacles, then this matter cannot be done."
"I understand, Dad." An Qiqi asked thoughtfully, "Then how do you think the situation in Longcheng can be resolved?"
