life in the sky

At the executive meeting of the State Council, Mu Guoxing reported the impact on the Polish economy. His expression was unusually calm, as if he was talking about something that should have happened.

"This time the blow to the Polish economy has achieved the expected goal. According to the calculations of relevant experts, it will take at least ten years for the Polish economy to return to its previous level. Their country's economy is currently on the verge of collapse."

Not only No. [-], but also other vice prime ministers and state councilors also looked at Mu Guoxing in surprise. They really did not expect that the impact on Poland's economy would be so severe that it would take ten years for a country's economy to recover. Unfortunately, this economic weapon is no less powerful than a war weapon.

"Although the Polish government has also taken measures to save the market and asked for help from the EU and the United States at the same time, because the US economy is in a mess and the sovereign debt crisis within the EU is intensifying, they cannot save Poland. At this time, they can only watch. Watching Poland fend for itself.

After 15 minutes, Mu Guoxing finished introducing the current situation of the Polish economy. Under his narration, it seemed that a very tragic situation appeared in front of the participants: most Poles lost their jobs, and ordinary people were struggling for three meals a day. Busy, a large number of banks closed down, and the protests and demonstrations of the common people continued, but the government was helpless in the midst of internal and external troubles.

Gao Xuzheng asked: "Has the Polish government found out that we are attacking their economy?"

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Paper can't keep the fire. Although we used the financial institutions of Ssangyong Group abroad in this operation, they can also follow the trail and find out some clues. But there is nothing to worry about, the Polish government dare not publicly condemn us without solid evidence, because they also know that we are the only ones who can save the Polish economy now."

Sun Hongyi, the deputy prime minister in charge of business affairs, said: "Since we are going to teach the Polish government a lesson, what can they do if they know? This blow to the Polish economy has also reminded some other countries that China is not only in the military As long as it has the ability to destroy a country, it also has this ability economically.”

Mu Guoxing nodded: "Comrade Hong Yi is right. What we want is this effect. After this incident, other countries have to think carefully about what will happen if they provoke China's bottom line. Today In the morning, Poland's deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs, Mayelov, sent me a letter through their embassy, ​​requesting to strengthen the bilateral economic and trade relations between the two countries. When the conditions are suitable, he will lead a Polish economic and trade delegation to visit Huaxia also stated that the Polish government and Congress are planning to amend a series of legal documents to relax restrictions on foreign investment, and welcome Chinese entrepreneurs to invest and build factories in Poland."

The vice premiers and state councilors present at the meeting understood that this was a key point of Mu Guoxing's speech. He just asked everyone to discuss whether we should extend our hand to Poland at this critical moment. This is really a slap in the face Give me a sweet date, the technique of hitting and pulling has been mastered by Mu Guoxing.

Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Ancheng, who is in charge of public relations, telecommunications and energy, said: "I am not in favor of helping Poland emotionally, but considering the interests of the country, we should take this opportunity to enter Poland. Now our country If you have a lot of idle funds, you must find a way out for this part of the funds. Otherwise, keeping this money in the country is like raising a tiger in a cage. If you are not careful, it will eat people if it runs out. .”

Mu Guoxing smiled: "The iron cage for this tiger is very strong. We don't need to worry about it coming out to eat people. What I worry about now is that the money is not enough. Our financial center will be established next month. , we can take advantage of this center for foreign national debt. Now that the exchange rates of the US dollar and the euro are constantly falling, while the renminbi is becoming stronger and stronger, this condition has been fully met. As long as we can reasonably control the scale of national debt, the United States and the European Union will not appear. Debt crisis like that in some countries."

Gao Xuzheng smiled: "We are not short of money now, and the national debt has to pay interest. Is it necessary to do this?"

What Gao Xuzheng said is very meaningful. As the prime minister of a big country, he will not fail to grasp the country's economic situation. However, there are reasons for this. Since the establishment of the new leadership group, Gao Xuzheng has been All the economic work was handed over to Mu Guoxing. As the prime minister, he only coordinated several vice prime ministers and state councilors to deal with other state affairs. Although he knew a little about economic development and financial situation, he was not as good as Mu Guoxing. With Mu Guoxing as his right-hand man, Gao Xuzheng will naturally not bother Baal to manage the economy anymore.

"The Prime Minister is right. Our country's fiscal revenue has increased substantially every year for the past two years. On the surface, we are not short of money, but a country as big as ours needs too much money. .”

Mu Guoxing paused for a moment, and then continued: "The Standing Committee of the Central Committee has clearly pointed out that in the first five years, we must actively handle various domestic contradictions, and in the next five years we must make a difference in the world. To resolve these contradictions, we need A large amount of financial support. I made a preliminary list, which mainly includes the following aspects. The first is universal medical security. Although we have also done some work in this area in the past few years, some places still do it If it’s not good enough, a serious illness can ruin a family’s fortunes, and the irrational distribution of medical resources between urban and rural areas is still very serious. To do these things well, we need a relatively large expenditure.”

"There is also education that is related to the future of the country. In the past, we had a lot of debts. Education expenditures accounted for only [-]% of the gross national product, which is far below the world average of [-]%. We have basically realized compulsory education from elementary school to junior high school, but the high tuition fees of higher education still make it impossible for many ordinary people’s children to go to school.”

VIP Chapter [-] The Problem of Captives

Speaking of this, Mu Guoxing was also moved: "Some time ago, I went to Guangnan for inspection. Guangnan's economy has been doing very well in recent years, but it is such a relatively rich province, and its investment in education is also very low. Not enough. Although 90.00% of school-age children over eight years old can receive nine-year compulsory education, there are still a large number of students who cannot enter the threshold of higher education institutions because of high tuition fees. Therefore, the reform of higher education is imminent, and in this On the one hand, the country has to spend a lot of money.”

"In the United States and other Western countries, universal medical insurance has long been implemented, and the tuition fees of public universities are also very low, accounting for only [-]% of the total household expenditure. Colleges and universities support themselves by charging high tuition fees to students. Education is the foundation of a country. Most colleges and universities in the world rely on state financial support. Therefore, I suggest that the central government should consider the reform of colleges and universities. Since We can’t realize real private education, we only send cadres to others, and don’t pay a penny, which is obviously very unreasonable.”

Gao Xu is solemnly writing down these two items in his notebook: "The two conditions suggested by Comrade Guoxing are very good. One is universal medical insurance, and the second is the reform of colleges and universities. Are these two tasks? Comrade Zhang Jincheng, please seize it. Call relevant experts to do special research on these two issues, and come up with a plan as soon as possible.”

Zhang Jincheng is the state councilor in charge of science, education, culture, health and sports. He did not expect that Mu Guoxing would take the initiative to propose increasing investment in medical insurance and college education at this meeting.Since he became a state councilor, he has always felt that there is not enough money in this area. However, since the central government has a plan for fiscal expenditures, and he does not take care of the economy, there is nothing he can do about it.Now that Mu Guoxing took the initiative to bring up these two matters, how can Zhang Jincheng be unhappy?

U.S. Secretary of State Michael led a five-member working group to China. The main task of their trip was to negotiate with the Chinese government and solve the problem of the 61 Blackwater security guards captured by the Chinese army as soon as possible.

Since the US government sent a working group, it cannot be regarded as an official visit. If it is normal, China's visit to Michael will have a relatively high standard of reception. After all, according to the US political system, the Secretary of State is in the government fǔ The position in the middle is equivalent to the prime minister of Huaxia.

A high-level government official like Michael came to China for the 61 captives in his own country. It cannot but be said that the US government attaches great importance to this matter. From this, it can also be seen that the US government is protecting its own citizens. , What they did was still very high-profile, but it was also forced by public opinion to do so.

Michael received a lukewarm reception at the airport, and then he went straight into the US embassy in China, and talked with the high-level officials of the embassy for a whole afternoon without taking a break.Michael is also very clear that whether the issue of prisoners of war can be properly handled will be the key to whether the Bowman government can get out of this crisis smoothly.

Since the news of the prisoners of war came back to China, public opinion in the United States was in an uproar. The opposition Republicans took advantage of this incident to criticize the Bowman government, asking why the Bowman government tolerated the Blackwater security company sending armed personnel to Thailand and Myanmar, and why To support the terrorists in the Golden Triangle.At the same time, the families of the captives also flocked to demonstrate in front of the Blackwater headquarters in Manhattan. This incident was also visualized by the media as the prisoner gate.

Danni, the US net reporter in China, has made a big splash this time. She wrote in the article: The US government has always taken counter-terrorism as its own responsibility, fighting terrorists around the world, investing a large amount of money in this area every year, always and everywhere Call yourself the world's policeman.Now that the Blackwater Company secretly dispatches armed personnel abroad and supports terrorists to kill innocent civilians, what exactly does the Bowman government want to do.What does Blackwater want to do?What kind of conspiracy lies behind all this.

Not only that, some western countries have also accused the US government of playing a very disgraceful role in this incident. AFP reporters also said convincingly: "This incident is not accidental, it is the US Central Intelligence Agency. The bureau's consistent approach, the US's previous anti-terrorism wars, were all initiated by the CIA. Blackwater sent armed personnel to the Thai-Myanmar border. On the surface, it was a corporate act, but in fact, there was also the support of the US government behind it. .”

Facing tremendous pressure, Bowman couldn't sit still anymore. When he was questioned by Congress, Bowman publicly stated that he would send a senior government official to China to investigate this matter and rescue 61 captives as soon as possible. , and will strictly investigate all responsibilities of the parties involved, and the government will never defend its shortcomings.

After many consultations and communication with Huaxia through diplomatic channels, Michael personally led a five-member working group to Huaxia for a working visit.

After Prime Minister Huaxia met with Michael in the Great Hall of the People, the next step was the specific meeting between Vice Premier Mu Guoxing and Michael.

Under normal circumstances, a meeting like this should not involve Mu Guoxing, the deputy prime minister in charge of national economic affairs. The reason why the Standing Committee of the Politburo decided to let Mu Guoxing negotiate with Michael was mainly because Mu Guoxing was The commander-in-chief who went abroad to fight against terrorists this time has a relatively comprehensive grasp of various aspects of the situation. Coupled with Mu Guoxing's strong ability in diplomacy, this negotiation will also involve a lot of economic issues. So Mu Guoxing is also the most suitable candidate.

The American style is simple and clear. After the simple greetings, Michael said bluntly: "Mr. Deputy Prime Minister, this time 61 American citizens strayed into Thailand and were captured by your country as terrorists. This is a misunderstanding. I hope that the government of your country can release the captured persons as soon as possible in line with the friendly attitude of the two countries, so that they can reunite with their families."

This is the usual method of Americans. They never admit their mistakes. Even in the face of conclusive evidence, they will try their best to quibble, and the word misunderstanding is the most common word they use.

"Mr. Michael, since you are here to negotiate the issue of captives, please don't hide from the facts and make a correct evaluation of this incident. If we cannot reach an agreement on this issue, this It will be very difficult to continue this meeting."

Michael blinked his eyes, and he understood the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words: If the US government does not admit that the 61 prisoners are terrorists or supporters of terrorists, then the Huaxia government will not continue the talks.Anyway, people are still in Huaxia's hands, and Huaxia can completely try these 61 captives.

Negotiations between countries are all about bargaining, and they all want to exchange the smallest price for the greatest benefit. Mu Guoxing and Michael refused to give in on the identity of the 61 people. Two hours later, in the face of a large number of facts, Michael had no choice but to It does not admit that these 61 people were sent to Thailand by the American Blackwater security company. The US government was not aware of this matter in advance, and admitted that these security personnel did things that did not match their identities.

The first day of negotiations ended like this. When Michael returned to the US embassy, ​​he got through the hotline between the embassy and the White House. He will report the details of the negotiations to President Bowman, follow domestic instructions, and prepare for tomorrow's talks .This time, Michael and Bowman spent a long time on the overseas phone call. Howard, the US ambassador to China, found that Michael had a serious expression after the call.

In the small courtyard of Yi Le Tang, Mu Guoxing was talking with his underground father-in-law, Cao Jinian, secretary of the Ningbei Provincial Party Committee.

"Uncle Cao, we haven't seen each other for a few years, this time we can stay in the capital for a few more days."

Cao Jinian's face was flushed with excitement. Although he, as an old father-in-law, could not be put on the stage, it was also a very happy thing for Mu Guoxing to call him uncle.

"Hehe, the work in the province is still very busy. If Lei Lei's mother misses her daughter, I really don't have time to come to Beijing."

Book friends, the flowers are not growing very well now, Smile wants to explode a few more chapters tomorrow, throw out the flowers in your hands, and give Smile some motivation, okay?

VIP Chapter 710 Asking for Combat Power from Technology

Now that Cao Jinian took the initiative to bring the topic to work, Mu Guoxing said with a smile: "The central government is quite familiar with the situation in Ningbei Province. *** In the past few years, Ningbei has followed the pace of the central government and strictly implemented the central government's regulations. The principles and policies, the work in all aspects are very good, and the central government is generally very satisfied. It is inevitable that there will be some problems in the work, and it is only a matter of nine fingers and one finger."

"Thank you for the central government's praise for Ningbei Province. Although Ningbei Province has achieved certain results in its work, it is still far from the requirements of the central government. For example, we have taken some detours in the construction of the cadre team, or There were some disturbances."

Mu Guoxing nodded: "It is a principle that the party manages cadres and the government focuses on the economy. Under this premise, everything else can be easily resolved. Although unity is very important, it cannot be used in a peaceful way. In the struggle It is the fine tradition of our party to seek unity between China and China, and to make progress through unity.”

In fact, Mu Guoxing is very clear about why Cao Jinian came this time. Although Governor Han Nairan has made some achievements in the economic field in recent years, in terms of promotion and appointment of cadres, he has also stretched his hand recently. a little.Although Cao Jinian and Han Nairan did not talk about these issues, Mu Guoxing still knew very well. You must know that the current secretary of the Jinshan Municipal Party Committee, Lu Jingming, is a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee. He, an old subordinate of Mu Guoxing, is of great importance to the province It is impossible not to report the situation to the old leader.

The reason why Mu Guoxing wanted to say this was to tell Cao Jinian that he must be strong when it comes to the appointment of cadres, and blindly begging for everything will not solve the problem.There are often disputes between the provincial party secretary and the governor over the appointment of cadres, which is a persistent problem in every province and city.

"With the attitude of the central government, I will have more confidence in my future work."

Mu Guoxing smiled: "Unity must be based on principles, struggle must be strategic, and being out of public interest is the most important thing. After all, you are the secretary of the provincial party committee."

Cao Jinian was silently comprehending the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words. He felt that Mu Guoxing, the small mayor in those days, was more reserved and thought-provoking now.There must be principles in unity, and strategies in struggle. On the surface, this sentence seems to be nothing, but it is quite meaningful when analyzed carefully.

In fact, it can't be blamed that Mu Guoxing's words are too profound, the main reason is that he can't explain some problems to Cao Jinian too clearly.Each of the provincial-level feudal officials has supporters in the central government. If there is no one at the top, it will be difficult for them to do a good job.

Cao Jinian's backer is Mu Guoxing, but governor Han Nairan's backer is No. [-] Chen Yifan. If Cao Jinian and Han Nairan are really strong, it will definitely affect the relationship between Mu Guoxing and Chen Yifan. As for things that move the whole body, any big boss must be extra cautious on these issues.

Cao Jinian also figured out the meaning of Mu Guoxing's words. He knew that he might return empty-handed when he came to Beijing this time. Mu Guoxing would not have a clear attitude on this matter. He did it himself.

"Before the end of the year, I will go to Ningbei to investigate and see what you have done in terms of social security and education reform in colleges and universities."

Cao Jinian was happy and relieved. He knew that although Mu Guoxing went to Ningbei to investigate for work, why wasn't he just showing off for Han Nairan to take a look at?You know, the head of the central government went to that place to investigate, but it was a good weather vane, and the cadres below would always pay attention to the words and deeds of the head.Mu Guoxing didn't need to publicly announce his support for Cao Jinian, as long as he called Cao Jinian to his car and chatted casually with him when the provincial four major teams went to meet him, the following people would understand.

Sometimes the superiors don't have to say who they want to support. Often a small matter can accurately convey the leadership's intentions. None of the officials below are fools. Seeing that Cao Ji Nian has the support of the No. [-] leader , They will also consciously stand in line.If Governor Han Nairan wanted to compete with Cao Jinian on the issue of cadres, he had to think carefully about it.

This is the first time for Liu Kai, head of the General Armament Department, to come to Yi Le Tang. For an officer of his level, the biggest officer he sees on a daily basis is the vice chairman of the Military Commission. He is not qualified to come to the home of the head of the Central Committee unless he is called. of.
