Chapter 1569 Official Attitude
In one day, Xun Pengcheng went from great excitement to great panic, and the violent ups and downs of his emotions nearly collapsed him.The desire to survive supported him to finish writing the manuscript of the special issue under the supervision of the staff of the security department, and then revised it seven or eight times under the guidance of the officer sent by the propaganda department. Finally, he successfully handed over the assignment.After learning that he would not be arrested and sent to jail, Xun Pengcheng almost burst into tears on the spot.
Nodding and bowing, Xun Pengcheng sent away the people from the Security Department and the Propaganda Department. After returning to the room, Xun Pengcheng collapsed on the bed, as if he had lost his strength.Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening outside the window, Xun Pengcheng, who hadn't slept all night, couldn't bear it anymore, and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
Xun Pengcheng didn't know how long he had slept, but when he woke up again, he found that he was awakened by a knock on the door from outside. Looking at the two policemen with a gloomy aura all over their bodies.
Xun Pengcheng rubbed his eyes vigorously, then looked at the sun outside the window, made sure that it was daytime and not night, and then breathed a sigh of relief.The people from the security department did not leave until dawn, and they said that they would not hold themselves accountable for this matter, so they probably wouldn't go back on their word so soon.Besides, Xun Pengcheng knew very well in his heart that the press release he wrote came from his heart, and he had never been instigated or bribed by foreigners, so there was no shameful crime, and the government had no reason to punish him.
Chasing away the messy thoughts in his head, Xun Pengcheng yawned and got up from the bed to open the door.But when he saw the person standing outside the door, he immediately closed the door as if he had seen a ghost.
Xun Pengcheng would have such a reaction, of course, there would be no stranger outside the door.He only met the person outside the door yesterday, so he was naturally very impressed.But it was not the personnel of the security department who had gone back and forth that would scare him like this, but the few Matalan people he had seen outside the gate of Fort Victory yesterday.
After closing the door, Xun Pengcheng thought it was wrong. If they were kept out, these people would knock on the door and disturb the neighbors.Immediately, he quickly opened the door and asked the person outside, "Are you here to look for me?"
Seeing that the man in the lead nodded, Xun Pengcheng hurriedly gestured for them to enter the room: "Let's talk after we all come in!"
After letting the group of people into the room, Xun Pengcheng poked his head out and looked around in the corridor to make sure that there was no one there, so he quickly closed the door and went back to the room, and asked these uninvited guests: "How did you find it?" Come to my house?"
"It's not difficult to find out if you spend money...Mr. Xun, please sit down and talk slowly. We came to you to ask you for help, and there is no other malicious intention." The leading man is Luo Hong, the emissary of Ma Dalan, The reason why he came to find Xun Pengcheng was because he thought that the real intention of Haihan's high-level executives might be able to conduct a more detailed interpretation through the author of the article.Of course, he could see that Xun Pengcheng was very nervous about his appearance, and he could only continue the conversation if he calmed down the other party's emotions first.
Xun Pengcheng felt that he was living in hell at this time. Yesterday, people from the Ministry of Security came to investigate whether he was involved with Ma Dalan and the Netherlands. He finally cleared up the suspicion and sent the uncle of the Ministry of Security away. Why did the Ma Dalan man really come to the door when he turned around?And hearing the other party's tone, it is obviously impossible to explain it as a coincidence, in order to find his own residence or spend money to buy it.If the people from the Ministry of Security turned back at this time, even if he opened his mouth ten times, he still wouldn't be able to speak clearly.
Xun Pengcheng really wanted to beat up this group of people violently, but he looked at the other party's dark and strong body, and knew that even if he tried his life, it would be useless, and he would only suffer if he did it.And for a smart person like him, there is no need to take the initiative to suffer such immediate losses.
"No matter what you want to do, I hope you are clear that this is the territory of Haihan Kingdom! If you do anything illegal in Sanya, you will never escape!" Xun Pengcheng was not sure of the other party's intention, so he could only act sternly. Warn the other party, in case these guys directly attack themselves.As for what the other party said about "asking for help", he didn't even believe a single word. These people could talk directly to the big shots in Fort Victory, so why did they come to find a helpless tabloid reporter like himself? Help, it's obviously unreasonable.
"Illegal? No, no, no, Mr. Xun, you probably misunderstood our reason for coming." Luo Hong sat opposite Xun Pengcheng, and motioned for the others to take a few steps back to leave a certain space, so as not to make the other party feel too depressed .
"I really want to ask for something, and I hope Mr. Xun can give me some advice. I also understand the rules of Haihan, so I will definitely not let Mr. Xun be busy..." Luo Hong said while making a gesture, and behind him One of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and put a small wooden box on the table.
"A little kindness, Mr. Xun please accept it with a smile, and there will be a big thank you after it is done!" Luo Hong made a gesture of invitation, signaling Xun Pengcheng to accept this gift.
Xun Pengcheng hesitated for a moment, but his curiosity finally drove him to reach out and open the lid of the wooden box, and then he looked straight at the things in the box.Inside the box was a gold coin the size of Xun Pengcheng's palm. The sunlight coming in from the window just shone directly on it, emitting a seductive light.
If he hadn't seen those two carts of gold bricks yesterday and had prepared himself to some extent, Xun Pengcheng might have cried out on the spot.He swallowed, stretched out his hand tremblingly, and gently touched the gold coin with his fingertips.
"It's okay to take it out and have a look." Luo Hong saw Xun Pengcheng's expression in his eyes, and suggested softly.
Xun Pengcheng's hand paused for a moment, and then following Luo Hong's suggestion, he took the gold coin out of the box.There are some kind of totem cast on both sides of the gold coin. Xun Pengcheng believes that this may be a symbol of faith in the Matalan Kingdom. However, his focus is not on the pattern on the gold coin, but on the heavy feeling and inexplicable appearance from the hand. Fiery feeling.Although there is no gold in Xun Pengcheng's private property, because of his occupation, he can roughly calculate the market price of such a gold coin.
Such a gold coin is certainly not enough to buy a one-room apartment like the one he lives in now, but if it is two gold coins, there is probably still change.When he bought this apartment, he used up his savings from his two-year stay in Sanya, but now the benefits in front of him are just "a little thought" from Matalan people.Thinking of the words "thank you very much" that the other party said, Xun Pengcheng's breathing became a little short.
However, Xun Pengcheng is not the kind of person who blindly sees money. He has not forgotten that a few hours ago, he was still listed as a suspect by the Ministry of Security.If he had the guts to accept this benefit from the Matalan people, then if the Ministry of Security found out afterwards, he might still have to go to jail.Compared with making a fortune, your own safety is more important.Besides, the other party offered the gift before expressing his intention. How could it be so easy to accept such an expensive gift?
After Xun Pengcheng sorted out the priorities of this matter in his mind, the hot light in his eyes gradually faded, he put the gold coins back into the box and closed the lid, and then said to Luo Hong: "Haven't you asked Your Excellency?"
According to the custom of the Han people, Luo Hong clasped his hands and said, "I am dismounting to fight against the commander of the Lan Guo Guards, Luo Hong Langsang. Mr. Xun can call me Luo Hong."
"It turned out to be General Luo, sorry for your disrespect!" Xun Pengcheng asked Luo Hong while sketching the words in his mind: "Since General Luo is here to talk about something, let's talk about the business first and then talk about other things."
Seeing that Xun Pengcheng was able to get rid of the temptation of gold so quickly and regain his sanity, Luo Hong somewhat admired his will.But Luo Hong didn't know that the old man in front of him was interrogated by the security department for a long time last night, so he didn't dare to accept the benefit he gave him at will.If it hadn't been for something wrong, Xun Pengcheng would have put the box away unceremoniously long ago.
"I take the liberty to visit Mr. Xun because I want to ask him about today's article." Luo Hong was not in a hurry to persuade the other party to accept the gift, so he took out the special issue of Express News that was published early this morning and asked Xun Pengcheng his own questions. : "According to the signature on the newspaper, this article was also written by Mr. Xun. I would like to ask Mr. whether the official intention is to lift the arms sales ban, or to continue to implement the current policy?"
When Xun Pengcheng heard this question, he relaxed a little. What he was most worried about was that the Ma Dalan man fortressed money and asked him to write some outrageous things. In that case, he had even considered how to blame the newspaper editor.But since the question that Luo Hong is interested in is the wind direction implied by this article, he is not so nervous, because the officer in the Propaganda Department who supervised his writing made it very clear last night that the reason for publishing this article The special issue is to correct the wrong direction of the article I wrote before.
What to correct and what kind of attitude to express through this correction, the writer Xun Pengcheng is of course clearer than the readers.What's more, after he finished writing the manuscript last night, he was picked on by the propaganda officer word by word and corrected seven or eight times. He already knew the official attitude clearly.In the end, readers who only see the finished product and don't know the cause and effect of this article will naturally find it difficult to appreciate the hidden information.Even a diplomat like Su Keyi, who has dealt with Haihan for several years, could not determine Haihan's official attitude through this article.
But Luo Hong's handling of this matter was much more flexible than Su Keyi's. When he found that he couldn't understand the situation, he immediately thought of asking an insider instead of digging into a dead end.In this round, he has already helped Mata Lam to take the lead over the Dutchman.
Xun Pengcheng found that the matter had entered a rhythm that he could control, so he coughed twice calmly, cleared his throat and said, "General Luo, this newspaper has already explained it clearly, why do you need to ask for an interpretation? "
When Luo Hong saw it, he knew that this guy was starting to play with a tune, but he had something to ask for at this time, and naturally it was not easy to remind the other party of his flustered look just a moment ago, so he said respectfully: "I admire you the most. It is a great honor for Luo, who is a learned person, to have Mr. Xun, who wrote this article, personally interpret the interpretation, and I hope that Mr. Xun will give you some advice!"
This kind of compliment is very appetizing to Xun Pengcheng. As a reporter for a third-rate tabloid, he has not experienced the feeling of giving advice to others in terms of literary creation for a long time.Although at most one-third of the published article is his own original content, this does not prevent him from feeling elated under Luo Hong's flattery.
"Actually, what you want to ask is clearly stated in this newspaper, but you haven't grasped the spirit of it..." Xun Pengcheng had put other questions behind him at this time, and he was focused on explaining the meaning of his article to the barbarians. Subtleties.
The central idea of this article published in the special issue is to illustrate two issues.First, Haihan's refusal to sell certain military equipment to Mata Ram and the Netherlands is not a matter of internal coordination or unsatisfied interests, but more political considerations.Second, it is not hopeless to resolve this impasse, but it is only possible when the interests and needs of all parties are in a balanced state.
"The first point is to tell you not to show off by pulling gold bricks to the gate of Victory Fort. This trick will not work. What Haihan lacks is not the gold you sent, but more favorable conditions for the country. The Dutch gave The things that come out are more valuable than gold, so you have lost completely in this link, understand?"
Xun Pengcheng's interpretation is not all his own experience, most of it comes from what he heard from the propaganda officer last night, and he is responsible for processing these official intentions into articles with cryptic meanings.
Luo Hong nodded again and again, "Please continue, sir!"
"The second point is that your two countries have the same idea of proposing arms purchases to our country. You both want to buy them yourself and not let the other party buy them. But your idea is to make our country in a dilemma. It is difficult to sell to anyone. No, selling to one family will definitely offend the other family, and it will also destroy the strategic balance that was so hard to reach between your two countries. You also know that our country is a country that values peace, and has always valued peace..."
Xun Pengcheng's explanation went astray, because for the second point, he really didn't know what measures the executive committee would take to change the current deadlock, so he could only fool Luo Hong with nonsense, hoping that the other party would not Get to the bottom of this issue.
After hearing this interpretation, Luo Hong had his own ideas. He thought that since Haihan officials wavered on the issue of whether to sell or not, it meant that there was room for maneuver in this matter.As for the excuse of maintaining peace, he doesn't believe it at all. The frequency of Haihan's foreign wars is much higher than that of Matalan.
