Diplomat's Wife

Chapter 271 How Can He Be So Confident?

Mu Zhengqi's appearance shocked the entire political hall for a moment.

At this sensitive moment, Mu Zhengqi's appearance must be extraordinary.

On the central seat, the old gentleman's voice was thick and powerful, making it hard to tell that he was an old man over seventy years old.

When Jin Hanlin made a promise to Mr. Mu Zhengqi that he would send troops to protect the island if necessary, and ordered someone to hand over the signed presidential document to Yan Kecheng, Yan Kecheng's expression was not good, and he was even gloomy for a while.

In the past hundred years of countless confrontations between the military and the government, it seems that this is the first time that the Political Council has gained the upper hand.

Although Jin Hanlin made a promise to send troops, he was very euphemistic in terms of words. He dealt a severe blow to Yan Kecheng, who had always advocated sending troops beyond his authority, as if he wanted to tell him in this way the importance of the phrase "righteousness and integrity".

Before the afternoon meeting ended, Yan Kecheng left early. Due to the lack of members participating in the discussion, the meeting had to end early.

After the meeting, Jin Hanlin and Mu Zhengqi had a brief meeting in the living room, and Jin Yu and all the cabinets attended.

During the one-hour meeting, the two sides reached a lot of consensus. In terms of political views, Jin Hanlin and Mu Zhengqi were quite consistent, and the communication was extremely smooth.

When Mu Zhengqi left the Capitol, Jin Yu saw him off.

When they arrived at the entrance of the building, Situ Chen whispered something to Jin Yu. Jin Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, apologized to Mr. Mu, and left first. Before leaving, he asked Mu Qiqi to send Mr. Mu to Mrs. Go to the hotel where you will stay.

The car drove slowly out of the Capitol.

Although Mu Qiqi was always by Jin Yu's side, Mu Zhengqi didn't have a chance to talk to her alone. The old man finally had the time to look at the girl in front of him carefully as he went on the road.

The girl has a pair of bright cat eyes and a high ponytail. She sits on the seat obediently, holding a black notebook with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in her arms. There is also a pen stuck in it. There is also a beautiful "Qiang" character engraved on it.

"Is this your mother's?" Mu Zhengqi asked.

Mu Qiqi glanced down at the notepad in her arms, and nodded.

"I gave this to her." Mu Zhengqi said in a low voice.

Mu Qiqi did not expect that the two families had such a relationship in the previous generation.

"You know my mother?" Mu Qiqi asked in surprise.

The old gentleman nodded, "When Yuanru and Qiangwei got married, I was the witness."

After hearing this, Mu Qiqi felt even more incredible.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Mu Qiqi returned to the political topic, "This time when such an incident happened on Liusu Island, the authorities did not act. If the Democratic Party hadn't come forward to stabilize the people's hearts, the situation before us would have been even more chaotic."

"First of all, the authorities must have never expected that the incident would develop to such a serious extent that it would go far beyond the scope of street demonstrations; secondly, they mistakenly believed that Jinling would not directly send troops to intervene in the short term." Mr. Mu's eyes were deep, Thorough analysis.

Mu Qiqi nodded. If Mr. Mu hadn't appeared to file a petition during the military and political meeting of the Jinling side, the issue of whether to send troops might still be deadlocked in a short period of time, thus missing the best time to intervene.

"During this time, you are still staying in Jinling. I am worried that if you go back like this, the authorities will treat you badly." Mu Qiqi said worriedly.

After all, Liusu Island is still under the jurisdiction of the French side, and Mu Zhengqi's words and deeds must have angered the French political circles at this moment.

The old gentleman smiled, his smile was very kind, and he seemed calm, "I'm already old, and life and death have long been taken lightly. What's more, if Yuanru is still alive, he must hope that I will do the same."

The old man sighed, full of nostalgia for his deceased friend.

Mu Qiqi frowned slightly, "If Dad is still here, at least he can persuade my uncle and father-in-law to argue so fiercely."

Mu Zhengqi laughed "hehe", "I'm afraid the quarrel will become even more fierce!"

"How could it be?" Mu Qiqi smiled slightly, "Although uncle has a bad temper, at least he and Dad have never blushed, and he will still listen to what Dad says."

Mu Zhengqi smiled lightly on his kind face, "If Yuanru was still alive, the military and political circles might be in a different situation now, but it's a pity that he died young, and there are too many things that have not been done in time."

Mu Qiqi was a little puzzled, "The military and political circles have now formed a balanced situation, there is no need for the past."

Mu Zhengqi shook his head, "Separation between the military and the government is the biggest problem. If the military and the government are not unified for a day, the political council will always be hindered in the implementation of state affairs."

The old man sighed and continued: "If it wasn't for the battle of Ximian that year, Jinling might not have a political council now."

Mu Qiqi was dumbfounded. She was no stranger to the Battle of Ximian, and it was mentioned in the history textbook, but it was only mentioned briefly. At that time, the textbook only described it as a patriotic defense battle, and the commander of that battle was her She was once proud of her grandfather.

"During the Battle of Ximian, what happened?" Mu Qiqi asked.

Seeing Mu Qiqi's ignorant look, Mu Zhengqi thought that Mu Yuanru might not have told his daughter about this matter. After all, for the Yan family, this might be a stain, and no one wanted to mention it.

"In the Battle of Ximian, General Yan made a mistake in his decision-making, which caused him to receive a lot of criticism from the international community. This is why he was hindered by many parties and gradually restrained by the Political Council."

Under Mu Qiqi's questioning, Mu Zhengqi gave her an overview of the truth back then, and only then did Mu Qiqi fully understand the truth about that period of history. No wonder this period of war that should have been fierce would be written off in history textbooks. After a brief introduction, it turned out that there was such a past event behind it.

"That is to say, grandpa once wanted to overthrow the presidential system and establish a country with military power?" Mu Qiqi asked in a soft voice.

Mu Zhengqi smiled, as expected of Mu Yuanru's daughter, she understood with a few words.

"Then what do you mean by 'another situation'?" Mu Qiqi asked again, "Does it mean that Dad wanted to do what Grandpa wanted to do back then, but failed?"

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, maybe she understood what Mr. Mu said just now, if his father was alive, the two of them would quarrel more fiercely.

Mu Qiqi shook her head, not wanting to admit her own assumptions, "No way? For the sake of Mom, Dad wouldn't do this either. Although Uncle has the military power, no matter how powerful Yan Jun is, it's just an army guarding the country. Elite, even if my uncle presides over the overall situation in the Military Council, he is still under the check and balance of the Political Council after all, and my uncle will not do anything that endangers internal affairs."

Mu Zhengqi looked at the sad girl in front of him, and said meaningfully: "Qiqi, you think so because Yanzuo is your uncle, your close relative, if you put aside these identities, think again Think, with Yan Jun's current growth rate, once the checks and balances are lost one day, will you worry that he will launch an armed coup?"

Mu Qiqi pursed her lips, not knowing how to feel for a while.

Inside the car, there was a long silence.

"Mr. Mu." Mu Qiqi spoke first.

Mu Zhengqi smiled slightly, waiting for the next sentence.

Mu Qiqi thought about it carefully, but still couldn't help but ask, "I want to know, is Jin Yu doing something that Dad wanted to do but didn't finish?"

Mu Zhengqi frowned slightly, as if he had something to hide.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Mu Qiqi's heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom.

"That's it..." She said lightly, that was the side she least wanted to see.

"No, it's just that this question is really difficult to answer." Mu Zhengqi said in a low voice.

Mu Qiqi looked at him suspiciously.

Mu Zhengqi looked ahead without squinting, "I can count countless people, but Jin Yu, a young man, I really can't see through."

For a long time, the car was silent.

"Mr. Mu." Mu Qiqi spoke again, "Do you think Jin Yu can do it?"

She asked this because she just wanted to know how much strength Jin Yu has now.

The old gentleman took a deep breath, put his palms on his knees, and patted them very regularly. It took him a long time to answer, "Back then, the Confucian scholars planned their strategies with [-]% certainty. As for the Prime Minister, I really dare not." Estimate."

Yes, just now Mu Zhengqi also said that he still couldn't see through Jin Yu.

Mu Qiqi's expression became more and more melancholy.

Seeing the girl's depressed appearance, the old gentleman sighed and smiled gently, "Probably that's why Yuanru didn't let you know too much. He once told me that he hoped that you could be as good as ordinary people." Like other girls, he grew up carefree, if possible, he hopes you will never get involved in political affairs."

Is it because politics are too cruel?Mu Qiqi asked herself.

But is it too late now? Her uncle on one side and her husband on the other, she has already entered this vortex.

The car arrived at the hotel, and before getting out of the car, Mu Qiqi said politely: "I accompanied Jin Yu to Liusu Island to participate in the negotiations. I was going to visit you, but unfortunately, the schedule was not coordinated. Fortunately, we will meet today. It's not too late, thank you for telling me so much."

Mu Zhengqi smiled charitably, like a kind elder, "I was in France at that time, and I was very pleased to hear the news that the negotiation was successful."

"You're in France?" Mu Qiqi was slightly taken aback, "But they told me you were sick, that's why the meeting was canceled..."

Mu Zhengqi didn't answer, but just smiled inaudibly.

But for some reason, Mu Qiqi always felt that there seemed to be many indescribable deep meanings in such a smile.

Isn't she right?Or is the old man not sick at all?Just an excuse for not wanting to meet them?

But such a conjecture is unreasonable. Through the conversation just now, it is obvious that Mr. Mu and Jin Yu have a strong personal relationship, and Mu Zhengqi has no reason to say that he is sick and refuse the couple's visit.　
"Didn't Jin Yu tell you?" Mr. Mu asked.

"Tell me... what?" Mu Qiqi seemed completely unaware.

Mu Zhengqi smiled gently and elegantly. Mu Qiqi said "they" just now, but now she looked ignorant again. Obviously, this girl didn't seem to know anything about what Jin Yu had told him.

"The negotiation on Tassel Island was successful because the French Senate made a resolution to impeach the president. This is also the reason why the French president suddenly changed his attitude."

Mu Qiqi was shocked when she heard that, "That means the impeachment of the French President was not because of the delivery of Liusu Island? It was because of a resolution earlier in the morning?"

The timing is so coincidental?What can make a prime minister who has always been strong suddenly change the resolution, turn his attitude 180 degrees and sign the agreement in a hurry?Thinking of the scene where the French President almost fell and rolled down the stairs after leaving the meeting that day, Mu Qiqi thought that he was so embarrassed because of the failure of the negotiation. Now it seems that there are obviously other reasons. The reason for the decision of the mind.

And all of this, Jin Yu should be aware of it, and it is even possible that he is behind the scenes.

The car door opened, and before getting out of the car, Mu Zhengqi looked at her from a distance, and said with great certainty, "Qiqi, I believe that the Prime Minister is not a heartless person, even if one day he has to face the blade with Yan Zuo, it will be the same. A bloodless confrontation, for you, he will not do anything to hurt Yan Zuo, I think, he will give Yan Zuo a decent position."

"Really?" Mu Qiqi asked softly, barely audibly.

"Think about Yan Ting's matter. The Ren family is almost a crime of treason, and the Prime Minister didn't take the opportunity to kill him. What's more, you are his wife."

"Isn't the trial of the Ren family a resolution that was presided over by the president and jointly negotiated by the Political Council?" Mu Qiqi asked lightly.

Mu Zhengqi's words were obviously saying that all of this was Jin Yu's intention, as if it was not the result of discussion by the Political Council at all.

The old gentleman smiled, "It seems that you don't know as much about this Prime Minister as I do."

After all, the old gentleman got out of the car, leaving behind Mu Qiqi in the car with a blank face.

The old man left, and Mu Qiqi sat leaning on the armchair, unable to regain consciousness for a long time.

What will Jin Yuhui do with his uncle?When did he have such an idea?Given his uncle's power in the army, he was naturally terrifyingly strong, but what about Jin Yu?According to Mu Zhengqi, there seems to be a lot of side behind Jin Yu that she still doesn't understand. At least in terms of strength, Jin Yu must be comparable to his uncle, right?If two people really confront each other, how should she choose?

The more she thought about it, the worse her headache became. Mu Qiqi took out her cell phone and dialed Situ Chen's number.

"Madam." Situ Chen's tone on the phone was gentle. Before she could ask, he reported, "Mr. Jin is not here. Is there anything I need to convey?"

Obviously, Jin Yu is busy, what are you busy with?Are you busy with how to deal with uncle?
"Tell him, I'm going home to accompany Eighth Master." After hastily speaking, Mu Qiqi hung up the phone.

**
Military Council, combat readiness command center.

When Jin Yu arrived, Yan Kecheng was sitting on the command seat. There was only the two of them in the empty command center.

On the huge LED screen composed of hundreds of miniature screens in front, in the picture, uniform troops seem to be waiting to receive the unified dispatch of the national defense command center.

"Uncle." Before the person arrived, the voice came first.

"The strategy is good, even I was tricked by you." Yan Kecheng spoke slowly, but his tone was extremely tricky.

"Why do you say that, Uncle?" Jin Yu had already walked to his side. Due to the strong smell of smoke around him, he held his nose slightly, walked a few more steps, and came to the empty area in front of him. man.

"You promised me the same conditions that day. I should have guessed that the matter is not that simple. The Political Council has repeatedly suppressed the bill on Liusu Island until today. I think this is what you mean, right? You wait This is the situation, so that we can indefinitely postpone the garrison bill on Tassel Island."

Jin Yu wiped his trouser pockets with his hands, and listened to Yan Kecheng's analysis calmly. The strategy of a generation of heroes is naturally extraordinary. In the name of combat readiness, you can mobilize 20 troops to the south in an instant without going through a vote, and even if the state of combat readiness is lifted, the army can stay where it is.”

"What I want is righteousness and integrity." Yan Kecheng said angrily. Didn't he just suffer from the secret loss of these words in the parliament just now?

"Today, I can get Mr. Mu to come forward to petition to send troops. In other words, in the future, I can also get him to petition uncle to lead the army to the island on behalf of the people." Jin Yu said indifferently.

"Liusu Island is in such a mess now? Whether it can be recovered smoothly is a problem, but you are still so confident?" Yan Kecheng sneered.

"Why not?" Jin Yu stood steadily, looking at him firmly, with an indifferent look.

"Why do I feel that the current situation in Liusu Island is caused by you?" Yan Kecheng said contemptuously.

Jin Yu's deep eagle eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his lips evoked an inaudible smile.

Yan Kecheng narrowed his eyes and said in a playful tone, "Could it be true?"

He obviously didn't believe it. After all, the current situation on the island may get out of control at any time, which is hardly beneficial to Jinling.

Jin Yu curled the corners of his lips, neither admitting nor denying it, making it more and more difficult for people to see through.

"What I promised my uncle will definitely be done."

"What if it can't be done?" Yan Kecheng asked him aggressively.

Jin Yu glanced sideways at the launching pad beside him, and there was a red button sealed inside the crystal box in the center.

He walked over and put his palm on the square, "I don't know how long it will take for the missile to fly to the Capitol after pressing this button. If I can't do it, uncle can try it then?"

Yan Kecheng would definitely not blow up a building and cause a terrorist attack, but Jin Yu's serious tone did not sound like a joke.

How could he be so confident?
