Chapter 2090

The Executive Committee’s decision-making on overseas affairs, especially special situations that require the use of military means, has always been based on information provided by the intelligence department and the military. In this process, it is not impossible that relevant departments have provided information.

Mistakes in intelligence lead to deviations in decision-making, but such mistakes are not caused by the relevant departments on their own initiative, nor are there any intentions to mislead the executive committee. But what Yan Chujie is expressing now is 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.

He Xi, who is the head of the Security Department, naturally knows how serious the nature of this behavior is. If he follows his responsibilities, he should immediately persuade Yan Chujie to give up such a rebellious idea and report this danger to the Executive Committee

situation. But the consequences of doing so will also be serious. If it is a small matter to offend Yan Chujie, it may lead to a split within the executive committee, thus affecting the stability of Haihan's top management.

When He Xi was having an ideological struggle, he heard Yan Chujie continue to say: "Old He, I know you will definitely be in trouble. In fact, you don't have to think about this in a bad direction. Our duty is to ensure that the country of Haihan

It can develop rapidly and safely, and the special measures I just mentioned are also to achieve this goal. These ideas of mine are not for the purpose of seeking personal interests, nor are they mixed with any personal grudges. If you think I said this

If there is a problem, then you can go back to Fort Victory and report me now! All for Haihan!"

All for Haihan, this is the oath that senior officials need to 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 Cross-Travel Group. Yan Chujie mentioned this sentence, probably to express it.

He wanted to reassure He Xi and dispel He Xi's doubts. He knew that if he could not gain He Xi's trust, it would be impossible to continue with the matter.

He Xi did not say anything immediately. This was not a question of whether he believed Yan Chujie or not, but that the nature of the matter conflicted with his responsibilities. In addition to collecting various domestic and foreign intelligence, the functions of the Ministry of Security also have an extremely important function.

It is to ensure the safe operation of the national system. Not only the personal safety of senior officials must be protected, but the Haihan Kingdom's system must also be implemented step by step and cannot be easily destroyed. Protecting this system is also protecting the security of the country.

But what Yan Chujie wants to do now is obviously against the rules, so He Xi thinks that this move may affect Haihan's national security, and Yan Chujie cannot persuade him with just a few words.

"Lao He, Lao Yan has no selfish motives in doing things. This is recognized by everyone. He insists on using military means to solve the problem of the Hirado clan, and it is entirely for the sake of the overall situation. I think you might as well listen to his plan first.

What to do, and then decide whether to support his approach." Bai Kesi obviously understood Yan Chujie's plan, and persuaded He Xi not to rush to reject Yan Chujie's proposal.

He Xi finally said: "Even if Lao Yan's starting point is for the sake of the country, the direction is already wrong. This is a matter of principle. How can it be used to negotiate conditions?"

Yan Chujie said: "Then let me put it another way. If we already know that the decision made by the executive committee is wrong, but still let it go and let the country take risks or even suffer huge losses for this wrong decision, then such acquiescence

Is staying silent the right thing to do?”

He Xi replied expressionlessly: "I don't have God's perspective and cannot make a judgment on whether the executive committee's decision is wrong or right."

Yan Chujie said: "That's what I say, but you are an insider and know much more about the situation than the executive committee members who have only heard a few reports. You should also understand in your heart that negotiations cannot completely solve the problems of the Hirado Domain.

, the longer it is delayed, the greater the harm will be to us. And once negotiations begin, 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 a problem that is inevitable in any country, that is, senior officials who are laymen will make decisions for insiders in certain professional fields. Due to the different division of labor, several other executive committee members in the executive committee

When they don't have much contact with the military field in their daily work, their understanding of this series of events comes from reports from the intelligence department and the military. It is indeed easy to make certain decisions based on laypeople's thinking and cognition.

It was considered inappropriate judgment and decision in the eyes of the military and intelligence agencies.

Yan Chujie continued: "Some things, if the Executive Committee is wrong, they are wrong. Anyway, our country is at its peak and can resist it even if it is hard to resist. But if we have the opportunity to intervene beforehand, let the Executive Committee make the right decision."

Decision, isn’t that a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people? The system is dead, but people are alive. In order to make the country stronger, correcting the loopholes in the system, isn’t this what we as rulers should do

Something about that?”

He Xi still shook his head and said: "I still say what I said, I cannot judge in advance whether the Executive Committee is right or wrong. My duty is to be loyal to the Executive Committee and protect the existing system, not to destroy it.

it."

The three people in the room fell into silence for a while. Yan Chujie and Bai Kesi were of course thinking about how to persuade He Xi to change their minds and accept their own opinions; but He Xi was not thinking about how to persuade the other party to give up this mistake at this time.

In fact, he had a little doubt whether his insistence was right. For this country, which is more important, the correct procedure or the result? This is why he did not decisively stand up and leave.

But it is actually difficult to find the answer to He Xi's question from himself, because he is only an official and not a politician. He can try his best to fulfill his responsibilities, but he may not know whether his real allegiance is to the country of Haihan or the country of Haihan.

This system maintains the operation of the country. Although he can be considered a member of the ruling class, he seems to have never had his own ideas on how to implement his rule over 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 this is exactly what he has been asking himself to do, try his best not to choose a position that favors a certain side.

But today Yan Chujie's words touched him a little. Which one is the most beneficial choice for this country: right procedure with wrong result or wrong procedure with right result? If the current system is not perfect, how to promote the improvement of the system? If

I have shown a clear stance like other officials. Is this a taboo?

To be honest, He Xi thinks that even if the Executive Committee is wrong about this matter, the consequences will not be too serious. It is just that it will be more troublesome when the military comes to clean up the mess, and it may cost a lot of money for related 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.

The authority of the Executive Committee will probably not be affected by this. Under the influence of propaganda, the people will probably only think that this is a reasonable arrangement for their country to pay homage first and then attack. As long as the final result is glorious, everyone will only be immersed in the glory of another war victory.

In the joy of coming, they will not consider the different results if military means were used from the beginning.

But He Xi still felt that something was wrong. Although he knew that Yan Chujie's approach was problematic, he never got up and left. In fact, he was subconsciously waiting for the other party to find a reason to convince him.

It is very dangerous, but also very exciting. He Xi has not felt like this for many years. To be precise, after he was transferred back to Sanya, his work was stable and his life was the same. From that time on, nothing could make him happy.

Feeling stimulated and excited.

Of course, He Xi did not lose his mind because of this stimulation. He knew very well what he could and 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 it even if he told him to break the sky.

.

Bai Kesi and Yan Chujie exchanged glances, indicating that it was him who would speak. Yan Chujie nodded slightly in agreement. Although he was not bad at talking, after all, he represented the military here, and no matter what he said, it would easily make He Xi wary.

, the effect is not ideal.

Bai Kesi said: "Old He, it seems to me that the issue you are worried about is whether this will destroy the current system and power structure. But I want to say that in fact such a situation will not occur. 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 members, nor will other Executive Committee members notice any changes. All we have to do is to correct the deviation and bring things back to the right track.

On track, this is for the benefit of the country, not for the selfishness of any of us!"

"But this is military interference in politics!" He Xi replied in a deep voice. If he couldn't get over this hurdle, he would not agree to the other party's proposal anyway.

"The military is to protect the interests of the country. As long as it is loyal to the executive committee and the country, there will be no problem. Moreover, we do not intend to let the military seize the country's governance. This is not a military intervention in politics, but just fulfilling its mission." Bai Kesi

He immediately explained the point that He Xi questioned. Although this explanation sounded a bit unreasonable, he knew that maybe the other party just needed a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, he would have stood up and left long ago. How could he sit here and talk to him?

Debate slowly among yourself.

As long as this approach is distinguished from "military interference in politics", the nature is not that serious. But if you really want to be careful, doing so will definitely interfere with the governance of the Executive Committee. It is just a matter of degree. Of course, for

For He Xi who needs a decent reason to cross this psychological threshold, Bai Kesi's explanation is actually very convincing.

After the three people discussed this issue for another hour, they finally moved on to the next topic - how to influence the Executive Committee's decision on how to deal with the Hirado issue without leaving any trace.

vote.

"I have already thought about this problem." Yan Chujie gave his answer confidently: "The reason why the Lord Peace Party thinks that the problem can be solved through negotiation is mainly because the current situation is not urgent enough. The people of the Hirado clan

The threat to our country is not too great, and our previous actions have successfully destroyed some of the other party's layout measures, so they think they now have enough time to negotiate with the other party and coerce the other party to give up resistance. All we have to do is to give

"Publish some information that will make the executive committee nervous and make everyone realize that force must be used to solve the Hirado issue, so that when the vote comes, the correct result will be achieved."

"But we are not currently in direct conflict with the Hirado clan. How can we make the executive committee nervous about the existence of hostile forces of the Hirado clan?" He Xi asked.

"How did we discover the opponents of the Hirado Domain? It was because they were not peaceful enough and did not want to stay in Japan to grow up. Instead, they went out to various countries to contact forces hostile to us and tried to smuggle them through

Trafficking in arms to create more trouble for our country. Although the Hirado clan has probably not yet established a formal maritime armed force, and it is difficult to pose a direct threat to our country for the time being, among the forces that have joined forces with them, they still

There is something that can make the executive committee nervous." Yan Chujie did not say it directly, but at this level, he believed that He Xi could already understand what he meant.

He Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Liaodong?"

Yan Chujie nodded and said: "The only ones that can really cause trouble for our country are the organized armed forces, and the only ones with such conditions are probably Liaodong's opponents."

"But before that, the Marine Corps had already cleared out the Qing army's musketry team behind enemy lines, right? Did we claim to have discovered another musketeer team in Liaodong?" He Xi was still a little dissatisfied with what Yan Chujie really wanted to do.

Too sure.

Yan Chujie smiled and said: "Musketeers? I'm afraid that won't make everyone nervous. The total number of troops stationed in Jinzhou and Datongjiang has exceeded 5,000. The Qing army just relied on the development of musketeers. In a few years,

It is impossible to compete with our army on the front battlefield. Besides, even if the Qing army has a new musketry team, it will only focus the attention of the Executive Committee on Liaodong, which will not be of much help to what we want to do."

"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 news from Japan that the Hirado clan has reached a cooperation agreement with the Qing army and is preparing to pass on the musket and artillery manufacturing technology they have mastered to the Qing army, and in the future

At some point, we will launch operations from the north and the south to carve up the Korean Peninsula!"
