Chapter 610: Between factions

Chapter 610
Sitting in the car, looking at the ordinary "Red Mansion" from the outside through the window, Zhou Hao couldn't help feeling a little bit. This modern "jiuchi meat forest", how many high-ranking officials in Fujian and even the capital have fallen here, has become They are the gateway to hell. After the end of the "Yuanhua case", this "red building" was even opened to the public for a period of time as a typical material for anti-corruption and building cleanliness for citizens to visit.
After returning to Shengde Mansion, Zhou Hao immediately called Zhao Yuqin.
"What's wrong, little bad guy, looking for my sister so late." Zhao Yuqin's voice sounded very lazy. She should have gotten up from the bed to answer her phone. Zhou Hao could imagine her half-lying on the bed with a glamorous body. , I couldn't help but get hot.
At this time, there was no woman by his side. In order to prevent him from sleeping alone at night, Zhou Hao quickly suppressed the fire in his heart and said to Zhao Yuqin: "Sister, I saw that person. Do you know the'Red House'?"
"Huh? You mean the "Red Mansion" of Lai Changxing in Xiamen? Where did you go?" Zhao Yuqin's voice increased a little: "Little scumbag, you are about to recruit your sister from the ground. Have you done anything bad there?"
Zhou Hao suddenly sweated on her forehead. It seems that Zhao Yuqin also knows where the "Red Mansion" is, but her attention is obviously on whether she has done bad things in the "Red Mansion". He smiled and said: "Of course not. The women in there are not clean, so how could Xiaohao abuse himself like this. Besides, even if they are pure and clean, they can't compare with your sister. Haha, if someone can compare you to your sister. If I'm still pretty, I might be tempted, but I haven't seen such a person until now."
The well-informed and experienced Zhao Yuqin is still coaxed by Zhou Hao's sweet words: "Bad guys, say some coaxing things, no wonder Ruolan and their virginity are in your hands."
Zhou Hao felt wronged for a while, thinking about how to make me like a thief.
Shaking his head, he put aside these distracting thoughts and returned to the topic with Zhao Yuqin. Zhao Yuqin asked: "The person who met you has something to do with Lai Changxing?"
Zhou Hao said: "Yes, that man is Mr. Ji's son, General Ji of the Second Department of the General Staff."
Zhao Yuqin frowned immediately: "It's him? How could he find you? Our Zhao family has no contact with their Ji family."
Zhou Hao knows that what Zhao Yuqin said about having no contact does not mean that the Zhao family and the Ji family are dead. After all, Zhao Rixin and the old Ji are also considered to be the same generation, and both are the founding heroes of the Republic. . The so-called lack of contact means that the Zhao family and the Ji family are not in the same camp.
The Zhao family formed its own faction in the country and independently supported a camp. It was a powerful political group. In addition to the two core figures of Zhao Rixin and Zhao Dingzhou, the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Military Region Zhu Yongquan and the current commander of the People’s Liberation Army in Hong Kong belonged to Zhao. Family faction.
In the officialdom, not only is it necessary to "stand in line", that is, to join a certain camp, not only for the sake of peace and stability, but also to join a certain camp, otherwise, a lonely person without a backing is very easy to fall into the political victim of others.
In China today, the Zhao family ranks among the top three political groups. The first two are naturally the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders. However, the Zhao family seemed more stable than the No. 1 and No. 2 chiefs. Firstly, the Zhao family took root very early, not to mention assisting the great man Rongma Jiangshan during the founding of the country. During the turbulent period of the 1960s and 1970s, Zhao Rixin, a senior military general at the time, cleverly let himself retreat from the cusp of the storm, citing illness as a reason Retreat to the second line and hide your strength.
Moreover, Zhao Rixin, with his unique craftsmanship, knew at that time that Deng Deng, who was in a difficult situation, would not succumb, so he secretly gave Deng Deng countless help. The reason why Deng Gong survived that period without being victimized by an adulterer, in fact, Zhao Rixin took a lot of credit.
So after the rise of Duke Deng, Zhao Rixin also made a comeback and used his military strength to provide Duke Deng with solid support. So as early as that time, the Zhao family really developed.
Another point is that Zhao Rixin has no ambitions about the position of the No. 1 chief. Instead, he has always stabilized the military as the No. 1 chief. This will not cause suspense and has played a great role in the governance of the country by the No. 1 chief.
As a result, after several leadership changes, the No. 1 Chief will win over the Zhao family in advance, just like the current boss Hu.
Just because Zhao Rixin had no intention of "throne", and at the same time had a great effect on the previous leaders, so after several changes, the factions of the previous leaders gradually declined over time, but the Zhao family became stronger and stronger.
According to Zhao Rixin's age and circumstances, he will work for another term at most, and will eventually retire with Hu's boss.
But this is not important anymore, because even if he retreats, Zhao Rixin’s influence will continue for a long time, and Zhao Dingzhou, the second-generation core of the Zhao family faction, has already stabilized his position, and it will be certain within ten years. Able to enter the center.
Besides Zhao Dingzhou, Zhou Hao knew that Zhong Juren, the head of the "First Army", also belonged to the Zhao family faction. Although it hasn't been determined yet, Zhou Hao estimates that the master is at least at the level of a lieutenant general, and in terms of status, the master is no lower than the commander of the military region of Zhao Dingzhou. After retreating from the leadership position of the "First Army" in the future, the power of the leader in the center may not be inferior to Zhao Dingzhou.
In general, the Zhao family faction, although not the first family in the country, is an indispensable help for the previous leaders, and it is also the target of all forces. The reason why Dong Qishan pursued Zhao Yuqin so enthusiastically at the beginning was because the Dong family wanted to develop themselves through marriage with the Zhao family, but this wish was eventually destroyed by Zhou Hao.
Compared to the Zhao family, although the Ji family is also a faction that cannot be underestimated, Mr. Ji's network is also very broad. Almost all of the older generations are his comrades-in-arms. However, the energy and influence of the Ji family are still much worse than that of the Zhao family.
General Ji is also very much like getting on the big ship of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family originally wanted to absorb this high-status help, but because the head of the "first army" is already a member of the Zhao family, if General Ji controls If a sensitive person from the Second Department of the General Staff Department joins the Zhao family again, then the Zhao family will really be a big fan and have to arouse the leaders' wariness.
The Zhao family is also very particular about the Doctrine of the Mean. It not only maintains the strength to protect itself, but also does not blindly expand its strength so as not to incur the guard of the superiors. This is also the reason why the Zhao family can stay in the center for a long time. Not only General Ji, but those in the key positions of the Third Department of the General Staff and the General Political Liaison Department are not from the Zhao family.
So instead of accepting General Ji, the Zhao family deliberately distanced himself from him.
After understanding this, Zhou Hao was relieved a lot. The Zhao family deliberately distanced themselves from the Ji family in order to balance the golden mean. This was exactly what Zhou Hao wanted. Otherwise, when General Ji was arrested in the future, the Ji family would be defeated. At that time, the Zhao family was about to endure the unwarranted disaster.
"Sister, do you know what General Ji did with Lai Changxing?" Zhou Hao asked a key question.
"Of course I know, that guy Lai Changxing can monopolize the smuggling business in the southeast coast because his ships are all with the special certificates of the General Staff, and no one dares to stop them." Zhao Yuqin sneered.
Zhou Hao said again: "Sister, I heard that eldest brother also has this business, what's the specific situation?"
Zhao Yuqin replied truthfully: "This is nothing strange. In fact, not only some people under our Zhao family, but also people from other factions in the military, many of them are involved in this. Moreover, a small number of them are tacitly approved by the above, because, In order to prevent other countries from catching the handle, our country has many weapons that need to be sold in this way."
Zhou Hao frowned. He knew very well that the "Yuanhua" case in the previous life was not only the fact that Lai Changxing’s Fujian area was severely cleaned up, but the entire country was also blew up with a strong wind to crack down on smuggling, and that great earthquake. From the high level of the central government to various places, the whole country has been affected, and neither military nor political circles are immune.
He was afraid that the Zhao family would also be affected by this storm. He asked Zhao Yuqin, "Have he ever cooperated with Lai Changxing and others?"
"No, his business is mainly in Hong Kong and Hainan, and he has never touched the Fujian piece at all, and there is no such thing as a river or well with Lai Changxing."
Zhou Hao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Lai Changxing was not dragged onto the thief ship, the situation had not been so fast. He said again: "Sister, I think domestic smuggling activities have been rampant during this period of time, and the central government will probably take action soon. Or, let's persuade the big brother to let him stop the business. "
Zhao Yuqin was silent for a while, and said: "Actually, I tried to persuade my eldest brother before, but Dad didn’t seem to let his eldest brother shrink his'business'. During this time, my eldest brother expanded it a lot. Because of this. It was what Dad meant, so I dare not persuade it anymore."
Although Zhao Rixin loves Zhao Yuqin, once Zhao Rixin makes a decision on business matters, it is something that neither Zhao Dingzhou nor Zhao Yuqin can change.
After Zhou Hao heard what Zhao Yuqin said, the first reflection was that Zhao Rixin and Lai Changxing had already been on the line, but he denied this speculation after another thought. If this is the case, Lai Changxing and the others don't need to win over themselves like just now. As long as Zhao Rixin says a word, they have to help them unconditionally.
