"Have you joined the military?" Cao Lang shook his head in disbelief, "Okay, you said you are not very comfortable with the work in the ministries and commissions. How long has it been since even the military people come to us."

"I would like to make a point that I am not from the military, but from the Military Science Society, private think tanks, and researchers. I hope to discuss some directional issues with me. I think this is a good thing, and there is nothing that cannot be seen." Lu Weimin said disapprovingly.

"But you have to understand that your identity is different, and your every word and action may be interpreted as the attitude of the central government." Cao Lang reminded.

"Yes, so I'm very reserved. If there are still people who regard personal opinions as the attitude of the central government, then they have their heads in their heads. Don't think I can have that much influence?" Lu Weimin said angrily: "They asked me about some private opinions when I was the secretary of the municipal party committee in Landao, and I denied them, saying that they were some private discussions, which did not represent my current views, nor did they represent my views as the deputy director of the Central Political Research Office and the deputy minister of the United Nations General Office of the CPC Central Committee.

It was a bit disappointing for them, but I still gave them some thoughts and thought that we could discuss more about these aspects. We also said that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China will strengthen its ties with political parties and private parties along the Indian Ocean coast through inter-party exchanges, and attack the warming of feelings between the two sides, especially economic investment, to enhance China's influence in this region. We also hope that the military can communicate more with the countries along the Indian Ocean coast through private and official channels to enhance understanding."

"It's all official words. Why are you learning these accents now?" Cao Lang rolled his eyes and sat on Lu Weimin's office sofa. "Does it become like this when you go to the ministries and commissions?"

"There are also many intriguing and profound things hidden in the official wording, it depends on whether you can understand it." Lu Weimin laughed, "Every sentence has extremely profound connotations. If you think about it carefully, you will be able to realize a different taste. Military Science learns that those people are obviously smarter than you. People can understand the meaning of my words."

"Some elders in our family are saying that your views are very close to the navy. You are trying hard to push the navy out. Even my mother is asking me if you are a maritime lordist and what your goal is." Cao Lang's expression became formal, "I want to give you a suggestion. Your current status is different. Don't get too close to the military. Some words need to be thought twice before saying."

Of course, Lu Weimin understood that Cao Lang said that his mother was asking, which actually meant that some military officials were testing their attitudes, which gave him a headache. He didn't think so much, but just wanted to put forward some of his own opinions within his work scope for reference by the central government for reference, but this could easily cause some people to think too much. He laughed: "My goal is the sea of ​​stars, can it be? Cao Lang, I can say that your mother may have been overthinking. China's national conditions are the party's command of guns, and the party's absolute leadership over the army. The attitude in any aspect must be consistent with the central government. Of course, they can put forward their own opinions, but at the strategic level, the central government needs to stand at a higher level. Defending national interests is the duty of a soldier, and the central government will not be vague on this point, but we cannot expect to achieve some things overnight and to achieve some goals. We need to do a lot of preliminary preparations, and this sentence is the most suitable."

Cao Lang breathed a sigh of relief and was entrusted by others. He was also a little confused. He really didn't want Lu Weimin to get involved in some things. Although Lu Weimin's work cannot be avoided, although the domestic military is under the unified leadership of the Party, it is still a distinction between hawks and doves in many academic views. For example, the Military Science Society is obviously hawks occupy the mainstream opinions. However, he also knew that since Lu Weimin has entered the national central system and involves national policies and national interests, it is inevitable to deal with all parties, communicate, exchange, discuss, seek common ground while reserving differences, and build consensus. These are all his work, and the military cannot avoid it.

"For the people, just understand your current identity sensitivity." Cao Lang sighed, "I really didn't expect that you would cause such a big storm once you return to Beijing."

Lu Weimin smiled, "Cao Lang, don't think too complicated about the problem. Since the central government has arranged me in this position, it must have intentions. It is definitely not for me to sit in a place. Of course, I will adhere to the central government's intentions and try to do some things according to my own understanding and ideas. This is a serious job. If you don't understand that I am showing off my personal limelight, then you are wrong. I don't have that idleness. On these issues, you must believe that the central government will never allow anyone to joke with national interests and reputation. You should be clear about this."

Cao Lang's body shook slightly, his eyes gathered on Lu Weimin's face, and he looked at Lu Weimin thoughtfully: "For the people, what you mean is that your ideas and intentions have actually been obtained by the central government..."

"It depends on how you understand. The central high-level leaders have only put forward macro-strategic goals from a high-level perspective. How to achieve and implement them specifically is a tactical level, providing a lot of operational space, with different paths and the same work. They all carry out work around one purpose, but starting from the perspective, adopting strategies, and focusing on their own, they can all be different." Lu Weimin did not respond positively, "Whether the Central Political Research Office or the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, our work is to carry out tactical specific work around strategic goals. How to carry out it, we can contact and communicate with all parties, listen to opinions from all parties, and gather wisdom and resources from all parties."

Cao Lang also knew that he could only talk about this. Although the two had a close relationship, they involved work secrets and many things could only be stopped. If you ask deeply, the other party might not be able to answer, and it was not appropriate. He also believed that Lu Weimin himself was responsible and understood what he was doing.

"Are you going to visit?" As soon as Su Yanqing put the bag in her hand, she heard Lu Weimin bringing her an unhappy news, "Where are you going?"

"Well, the seven African countries." Lu Weimin said lightly. This was a long-running visit. As the deputy director of the Central Policy Research Office and the deputy minister of the United Nations General Office, it can be said that this visit is the most important political activity since he took office. Although he has attended a series of activities such as the establishment of the Chahar Society/the graduation ceremony of the Youth Cadre Training Class of African Countries, they all seem very low-key. After all, those are dominated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but this visit is different. It is invited by multiple political parties from the countries where the five African countries are located, including the invitations of both the ruling parties and some opposition parties from these countries. It is a visit to strengthen the exchanges and understanding between China and the political parties of the five African countries.

"Seven Kingdoms? There are so many, so why don't you go for a long time?" Su Yanqing sighed. She also knew that this was inevitable. Since she reached this position, this series of foreign affairs activities are indispensable. She just came to Africa, thousands of miles apart. After going there, there were seven countries, which probably took at least 10 to 20 days.

"Well, it's almost a month, from East Africa to South Africa, Ethiopia/Kenya/Djibouti/Uganda/Rwanda/Tanzania/South Africa. It just so happened that the weather was cold here, so I went to Africa to enjoy the warm sunshine." Lu Weimin joked, "It's going in December, it's still early. Before, I had to go to China for a few days."

"You are very busy now." Su Yanqing also joked, "I'm just here and I'm very energetic. I heard from my dad that you are famous now. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC has a high opinion of you."

Lu Weimin also laughed, "Yes, I don't do anything in this position and don't make my own voice. I'm sorry for this salary."

"Then are you too active now?" Su Yanqing still asked a more sensitive topic, which was also what her father asked her, saying that her husband went to the Central Political Research Office and the Department of the United Nations General Assembly, which has attracted the attention of many people. Now some of his views are gradually spreading among certain groups in China, which is a bit of a limelight.

"What did you hear?" Lu Weimin asked, "Worried that I would be crazy about being arrogant or making a proposition?"

Su Yanqing didn't say anything, and after a while, he said: "The military is said to appreciate some of your views, but you know, this will inevitably be criticized by some people, who think that your views are a bit too advanced and are separated from the central government's strategy of keeping low profile. This can easily arouse vigilance and suspicion from Europe, the United States and related countries."

"It means that we will stop, and people will not be alert or suspicious of us?" A faint smile appeared on Lu Weimin's lips. "To this point, China's rule, and the special history and national conditions of neighboring countries have determined that no matter how we do, there will be flies buzzing around. I only have one point of view, national interests are paramount, and there may be different interpretations in terms of methods."
