Chapter 2090
All along, the executive committee's decision-making on overseas affairs, especially the special situation that requires the use of military means, has basically been based on the information provided by the intelligence department and the military as a reference.In this process, there have been cases where the relevant departments provided wrong or missing information that led to deviations in decision-making, but such mistakes were not caused by the relevant departments on their own initiative, nor did they have the intention to mislead the Executive Committee.But what Yan Chujie expressed now was to break through this taboo and let the intelligence department use the resources at hand to consciously guide the decision-making direction of the executive committee.
As the head of the security department, He Xi naturally knows how serious the nature of this behavior is. If he follows his duties, he should immediately persuade Yan Chujie to give up such rebellious ideas and report the danger to the Executive Committee Case.But the consequences of doing so will also be very serious. Offending Yan Chujie is a trivial matter, and it may cause a split within the executive committee, which will affect the stability of Haihan's senior management.
When He Xi was in the midst of an ideological struggle, Yan Chujie continued to say: "Old He, I know you will be very embarrassed. In fact, you don't have to think about it in a bad direction. Our duty is to ensure that Haihan, the country It can develop at a high speed and safely, and the special measures I just mentioned are also aimed at achieving this goal. These ideas of mine have no purpose of seeking personal gain, nor are they mixed with any personal grievances, if you think I said this If there is a problem, then go back to Fort Victory and report me now! Everything is for Haihan!"
Everything is for Haihan, this is the oath that senior officials must swear in public when they take office as executive committee members, in order to gain the trust and support of hundreds of members of the Traversing Group.When Yan Chujie mentioned this sentence, he probably wanted to use it to express his heart and dispel He Xi's doubts.He knew that without He Xi's trust, it would be impossible to proceed with this matter.
He Xi didn't say anything immediately. It wasn't a matter of trusting Yan Chujie or not, but a conflict between the nature of the matter and his responsibilities.In addition to collecting all kinds of intelligence at home and abroad, the Ministry of Security's function is to ensure the safe operation of the national system. Not only the personal safety of senior officials must be guaranteed, but the system of Haihan Country must also be in order It must be implemented accurately and cannot be easily destroyed by others.Protecting this system is also protecting the security of the country.
But what Yan Chujie is going to do now is obviously against the rules, so He Xi thinks that this move may affect Haihan's national security, and Yan Chujie can't persuade him with a few words.
"Old He, Lao Yan has no selfish motives in doing things. This is recognized by everyone. He insisted on using military means to solve the Hirado Clan's problem, and it was entirely for the sake of the overall situation. I think you might as well listen to his plan first. How to do it, and then decide whether to support him or not." Bai Kesi obviously understood Yan Chujie's plan, and tried to persuade He Xi not to rush to veto Yan Chujie's proposal.
He Xi finally said: "Even if Lao Yan's starting point is to think about the country, but the direction is already wrong, this is a matter of principle, how can you come up with conditions?"
Yan Chujie said: "Then let me put it another way. If we already know that the executive committee's decision is wrong, but we still let it go and let the country take risks for this wrong decision, or even suffer huge losses, then such silent Is keeping silent the right thing to do?"
He Xi responded blankly: "I don't have the perspective of God, so I can't judge whether the decision of the executive committee is right or wrong."
Yan Chujie said: "That's what I said, but you are an insider, and you know much more about the situation than the executive committee members who have only heard reports a few times. You should also understand in your heart that negotiations cannot completely solve the problems of the Hirado Clan. , the longer it drags on, the more damage it will do to us. And once the negotiations start, the possibility of changes in the situation will increase, Lao He, ask yourself, is this the situation you want to see?"
What Yan Chujie mentioned is an unavoidable problem in any country, that is, senior officials who are laymen will make decisions for laymen in certain professional fields.Due to the different division of labor, when the other members of the executive committee did not have much contact with the military field in their daily work, their understanding of this series of events was also derived from the reports of the intelligence department and the military. It is easy to make some inappropriate judgments and decisions in the eyes of the military and intelligence agencies based on the thinking and cognition of laymen.
Yan Chujie continued: "For some things, the Executive Committee is also wrong if it is wrong. Anyway, our country is at the peak of national strength, and we can resist even if we fight hard. But if we have the opportunity to intervene beforehand, let the Executive Committee make correct decisions. The decision, isn’t that a good thing that benefits the country and the people? The system is dead, but people are alive. In order to make the country stronger, correct the loopholes in the system. Isn’t this what we as rulers should do thing?"
He Xi still shook his head and said: "I still say that, I can't judge whether the executive committee is right or wrong in advance. My duty is to be loyal to the executive committee and protect the existing system, not to destroy it."
The three people in the room fell silent for a while.Of course, Yan Chujie and Bai Kesi were thinking about how to persuade He Xi to change their minds and accept their own opinions; but at this time, He Xi was not thinking about how to persuade the other party to give up this wrong approach. That's right, for this country, whether the correct procedure is important or the result is important, which is why he didn't stand up decisively and leave.
But He Xi's question is actually difficult to find the answer from himself, because he is just an official and not a politician. He can try his best to fulfill his duties, but he may not know whether the object of his real allegiance is Haihan or the country. The system that keeps the country running.Although he can be regarded as a member of the ruling class, he seems to have no idea of how to implement the rule of the country.
A large part of this is due to the special requirements for his position. After all, if the head of the security intelligence department has a clear position, it may affect the stability of the power system.The executive committee needs him to maintain a neutral attitude, and he has been asking himself in this way, try not to choose a position that favors a certain side.
But Yan Chujie's words touched him a little today. The procedure is right and the result is wrong, and the procedure is wrong and the result is right. Which one is the most beneficial choice for this country?If the current system is not perfect, how to promote the improvement of the system?If I have shown a clear position like other officials, is this a big taboo?
To be honest, in He Xi's opinion, even if the executive committee made a mistake, the consequences of this incident will not be too serious. It is nothing more than that it will be more troublesome when the military comes forward to clean up the mess, and it may cost the relevant actions Military expenditures and casualties have increased several times, but these losses will not affect Haihan's rule, nor will they form a real obstacle to Haihan's development momentum in East Asia.
And the authority of the executive committee will probably not be affected by this. Under the effect of propaganda, the people will probably only think that this is a reasonable arrangement for their country to give courtesy first and soldiers later. In the joy of coming, without thinking about what would have been different if military means had been used in the first place.
But He Xi still felt that something was wrong.Although he knew that Yan Chujie's actions were problematic, he never got up and left. In fact, subconsciously, he was waiting for the other party to find a reason to convince him.
It was very dangerous, but also very exciting. He Xi hadn't felt this way for many years.To be precise, after he was transferred back to Sanya, his work was stable and his life remained the same. Since then, nothing has stimulated him.
Of course, He Xi didn't lose his mind because of this kind of stimulation. He knew very well what he could do and what he couldn't do. If Yan Chujie didn't have a strong reason and couldn't come up with a proper plan, he wouldn't accept the move even if he said it was broken. .
Bai Kesi and Yan Chujie exchanged glances, signaling for him to speak, and Yan Chujie nodded slightly in agreement.Although his verbal skills are not bad, but after all, he represents the military here, no matter what he says, it is easy to make He Xi wary, but the effect is not ideal.
Bai Kesi said: "Old He, in my opinion, what you are worried about should be whether this will destroy the current system and power structure, but I want to say that such a situation will not happen in fact, what we have to do The matter is not to change the current system of the executive committee, nor will it affect the replacement of executive committee candidates, nor will other members of the executive committee notice any changes. All we have to do is to correct the deviation and bring things back to the correct Get on track, it's for the good of the country, not for the selfishness of any of us!"
"But this is a military intervention in politics!" He Xi replied in a deep voice.If this hurdle cannot be overcome, he will not agree to the other party's proposal anyway.
"The army is there to defend the interests of the country. As long as it is loyal to the executive committee and the country, there is no problem. Moreover, we do not intend to allow the military to seize the ruling power of the country. This is not military meddling in politics, but just fulfilling its own mission." Bai Kesi Immediately explained what He Xi questioned.Although this kind of explanation sounded a bit unreasonable, he knew that maybe the other party just needed a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would have got up and left long ago, so why would he sit here and debate with himself slowly.
As long as this practice is distinguished from "military interference in politics", the nature is not so serious.But if you really want to care about it, doing so will definitely interfere with the governance of the Executive Committee, but the difference is only the degree of severity.Of course, for He Xi who needed a decent reason to cross this psychological threshold, Bai Kesi's explanation was actually very convincing.
After the three of them discussed this issue for another hour, they finally moved on to the next topic - what to do to influence the Executive Committee's decision on how to deal with the Hirado issue without any trace. vote.
"I've already thought about this question." Yan Chujie gave his answer confidently: "The reason why the peace faction thinks that the problem can be solved through negotiations is mainly because the current situation is not urgent enough. The threat to our country is not too great. In addition, our previous actions have successfully destroyed some of the opponent's layout measures, so they think that there is room to start negotiations with the opponent and coerce the opponent to give up resistance. All we have to do is to give Send out some information that will make the executive committee nervous, and make everyone realize that the Hirado issue must be resolved by force, so that the correct result will appear when the vote comes."
"But we are not currently confronting the Hirado clan directly. How can we make the executive committee nervous about the existence of hostile forces in the Hirado clan?" He Xi asked.
"How did we discover Hirado's opponents? It's because they were not safe enough, and they didn't want to stay in Japan to grow up obediently. Instead, they attacked all over the world and contacted forces that were hostile to us in various countries, trying to smuggle them. Trafficking arms to create more troubles for our country. Although the Hirado clan probably haven't really established a formal maritime armed force, it is difficult to pose a direct threat to our country for the time being, but among the forces that are allied with them, there are still There is something that can make the executive committee nervous." Yan Chujie didn't say it directly, but he believed that He Xi could already understand what he meant.
He Xi's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "Liaodong?"
Yan Chujie nodded and said: "The only ones who can really cause trouble for our country are the established armed forces, and the only ones who have this kind of conditions are probably the opponents in Liaodong."
"But before that, the marines had cleared the Qing army's musketeers behind the enemy lines, didn't they? Did we claim to have found another musketeers in Liaodong?" He Xi was still somewhat dissatisfied with what Yan Chujie really wanted to do. too sure.
Yan Chujie smiled and said, "The Musketeers? I'm afraid it can't make everyone nervous. Our troops stationed in Jinzhou and Datong River combined have more than 5000 people. The Qing army can only rely on the development of Musketeers. It may be an arm wrestling with our army on the frontal battlefield. Besides, even if the Qing army has a new musketeer team, it will only focus the attention of the executive committee on Liaodong, and it will not help us much. "
"Then what are you going to do?" He Xi asked.
Yan Chujie put away his smile, and said solemnly: "The Military Intelligence Bureau recently sent back news from Japan that the Hirado clan has reached a cooperation agreement with the Qing army, and they are going to pass on the guns and artillery manufacturing technology they have mastered to the Qing army, and in the future Sometime later, we will launch operations from the north and the south to carve up the Korean peninsula!"
