.After the meeting, Li Guoqiang left the side door as usual.

It’s not that he is special, but that he has a special identity. He knows what kind of people the head of the Second Department of Intelligence of the General Staff look like, including those who have passed away, there will be no more than one hundred.

Before Li Guoqiang could reach the door, he was stopped by Li Pingko's secretary.

At this time, Li Pingkoo was complaining in the head of state's study.

"Old Fu, you saw it too. Lao Wen didn't make up his mind at all." Li Pingko poured himself a cup of boiled water and sat on the sofa next to Fu Xiubo. "If you count on him, nothing will be done. But Jiang is still old. When you adjust your work arrangements, his expression..."

"If you don't complain about this in front of me one day, I'll let you do it."

Li Pingko smiled and closed his mouth.

"Tinggui is an old comrade. It is normal for him to be more conservative and cautious. He cannot be said to be timid, nor should he ignore his opinions because of this." Fu Xiubo sighed and said, "Although there are differences, only by listening to different opinions can we find the right direction to move forward. The ancients said that listening to both sides will make it clear. If you can't even listen to opinions, what qualifications are there to point fingers at others?"

"But……"

"Think about it yourself, have the problems mentioned by Lao Wen have had an impact on us?"

Li Pingko nodded, not denying it.

"It not only has an impact on us, but also a very big impact. Looking at things, you cannot just look at the appearance. Only by seeing the truth hidden under the appearance can you find the correct solution." Fu Xiubo took out a special cigarette with a filter from the cigarette box and occupied two-thirds of the time. Li Pingko immediately picked up the lighter and lit it for him. Fu Xiubo rarely smoked normally, and only smoked one or two when he needed to think about problems and was a major problem. "Why did Cia assassinate Liu Junshi and why Song Yingjie died are all appearances. Although the ins and outs of things have not been found out yet, the truth hidden behind the appearance is definitely not as complicated as some people imagine."

“The truth is often very simple.”

Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "You are right. Only when the truth is very simple can you blind people with messy and complex appearances. This incident directed by the United States is ultimately a waste of the mess left by Bush Jr. in his eight years in power.

"The global financial crisis that started from Wall Street has entered the third round of quantitative easing policies. The sovereign credit crisis in the United States is all measures and measures taken by the United States to lose its huge debts. The United States' goal is very simple, to use the losses of other countries to make up for the huge military expenditures spent on the anti-terrorism war and the huge costs paid to maintain world hegemony. This is a war without gunpowder, but its economic losses and social impact far exceed any war in history.

"To make a simple metaphor, this financial crisis is like a vast desert. The country that is being hit by the financial crisis is the explorers in the desert. Everyone knows that there is an oasis somewhere ahead, and there is a sweet spring, but there is not much water left in everyone's backpack, so it is impossible to insist on going to the oasis. Everyone faces a very cruel reality. If you want to reach the oasis and drink sweet spring water, you have to sacrifice one or a few explorers to divide their water and allow other explorers to survive out of the desert. Everyone understands this truth

, but we all know that fighting for water will only consume physical strength, accelerate death, make yourself weak, and become the target of others. At this time, the strongest explorer will target Explorer No. 2, eradicate the biggest threat, and even win over some weak explorers for this. The battle is still useless. The best way is to let the explorer who becomes the target consume more physical strength and fall down before drinking the last sip of water in the backpack. If the target's endurance is particularly strong, you have to do some small movements, such as stabbing a wound on him, or making him isolated and helpless.

"Everything we do is to avoid being this explorer."

"But our chances of winning are not great." Li Pingkoo sighed and said, "We have already run and are consuming our physical strength at a faster speed. Our endurance is almost at the limit. We still have several blood-dropping scars on our bodies. We will fall before we reach the oasis."

"What would you do if you were this explorer?"

"Me?" Li Pingko looked at Fu Xiubo and said, "This is a life-and-death matter. Since it is destined to be done, I have to take some people to take the blame."

"You can't beat the most powerful explorer at all, and there are not many explorers supporting you."

"But……"

"You must remember that survival is the primary purpose, and there is no benefit in fighting." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "If I were this explorer, I would be exhausted before I was exhausted, so that the guy who had been staring at me thought the time was ripe. When they surrounded me, I would try harder, kill a few rash ghosts, and seize the water from their backpacks."

"Scare the enemy away?"

"Sometimes, intimidating your opponent can achieve your goal more than hitting your opponent."

"The problem is, if the strongest explorer is at the forefront, we still have no chance of winning."

Fu Xiubo smiled and shook his head, saying, "You once again ignored the primary condition I mentioned. In this cruel competition for survival, reaching the oasis alive is the only goal. Before we are dying and lose our resistance, the most powerful explorer will not take risks, because the battle with us will cause him to be injured and bleeding, make him lose his position as the leader, and become the next leader's hunting target. As long as he is smart enough, he will inspire several minions to rush forward in various ways and test our situation."

“It’s about the same as a street fight.”

"It's true, but there are essential differences. At least there are no policemen who maintain order in the desert. Survival of the strong is the only rule of the game." Fu Xiubo paused for a moment and said, "If our resistance is very fierce and we seize the opportunity to obtain precious water from those birds who have emerged, our chances of reaching the oasis will be greatly improved, and the gap with the strongest explorers will be greatly shortened. To this point, the strongest explorers have two choices, one is to deal with us, and the other is to compromise with us."

"Compromise with us?"

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "If you continue to deal with it, the water in both sides' backpacks will become less and less. Because the living explorers are consuming precious water, the confrontation lasts for one more day, and the chance of reaching the oasis alive will be reduced by one point. If the strongest explorer exceeds a certain critical value, even if the strongest explorer falls the last one, he will not be able to reach the oasis. This reality is very cruel, so as long as the strongest explorer realizes that the final result of the strong struggle is that everyone will be finished together, and compromise will become the only choice to get a chance to survive."

Li Pingko nodded thoughtfully.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I basically understand."

"What do you basically understand?"

"If we are the No. 2 seeds in this survival competition, we have to seize the opportunity as soon as possible."

"What if the opportunity has not come yet?"

Li Pingkoo was stunned and said, "Then you have to create opportunities."

Fu Xiubo smiled and nodded and said, "It seems that you understand. You have said almost nothing, let's talk about the serious matter now."

"What I'm talking about at the beginning is not the serious matter?"

"I just pointed out the general direction and did not mention any specific things." Fu Xiubo glanced at Li Pingko, "According to my judgment, the number one seed who had been staring at us thought the time was ripe, and it only took some time to encourage his subordinates to follow him. Before the enemy surrounded us, we would probably have a few years to go. By that time, the dust storm that shaves will make the situation more complicated. If we cannot accumulate strength before this and be prepared to deal with the attack and counterattack, we will find it difficult to get the opportunity to compromise with the number one seed."

“The key is economic work.”

"You are right. If we cannot make our bloated bodies stronger, we will become prey, not predators who live on prey."

Li Pingko nodded thoughtfully and said, "The time is too short, and we have too many things to do."

"First of all, we must protect the water we rely on for living, especially those that have to be handed over to the No. 1 seed for storage in order to avoid trouble."

Li Pingkoo was stunned and said, "What do you mean..."

"I've talked to Sheng Shiping. When he comes back from Taiwan, you can have a good talk with him."

"Okay, I'll go find him when he comes back."

"Economic construction cannot be relaxed. You are a talent in this area, and I don't know much about economic work." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "As you said at the beginning, the time is too short and there are too many things to do, so the focus is not to increase the total amount, but to improve the quality. Use nutrients on the arms and thighs to become strong muscles, rather than accumulate on the waist, and become useless fat."

“It’s not easy to lose weight with fitness.”

"So you have to spend more energy and have stronger will and can't give up halfway."

“It takes more time.”

Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "I will buy you time. Even if you can't become a central nervous system, you can still become a motor nervous system."

"Old Fu, if you do this, it is equivalent to pushing me into the fire pit, and you jump out of the fire pit."

"If I don't jump out, how can I get the fire extinguisher?"

Li Pingkoo smiled bitterly and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Do what you should do, and I believe you can go further."

"I hope so. Anyway, the fire is on my butt, and anyone will run forward desperately, and I can't stop even if I want to."

"You don't lack the spirit of moving forward bravely. What you lack the most is that you don't know when to stop and take a breath and observe the road ahead."

Li Pingkoo smiled and did not answer this sentence.

"It's getting late, so you can go back and rest early." Fu Xiubo glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said, "Tell Comrade Guoqiang to let go and do it, don't look back. There is still a tall one to hold on the sky when it falls. I believe that he is different from you and will not make me nervous."

"Old Fu, you underestimate me too much."

Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "I won't talk to you anymore. You won't be able to sleep. Go back and read through the minutes of the economic work conference for the past few months. I have to go to bed and rest, otherwise I won't be able to get up tomorrow."
