Catastrophe
Chapter 1243: Status does not mean power
Lu Meng always thought that his transaction with Lu Linhuan was hidden seamlessly, and no one knew about this private agreement between them.
But what surprised him was that when he had just arrived home, Lu Tianhe directly brought this matter to the fore, which made Lu Meng feel a little overwhelmed for a while.
The last time he returned to Daosui City, it was after being placed under house arrest by Lu Tianhe, who was then taken away by Lu Linhuan by forceful means, so it is not surprising that Lu Tianhe could guess the relationship between him and Lu Linhuan. .
What really worried Lu Meng was that he didn't know whether Lu Tianhe had mastered the content of the cooperation between him and Lu Linhuan, or whether the other party was using the only information to deceive him.
Fortunately, Lu Tianhe did not hold on to this matter, but said to Lu Meng in a flat tone, "Do you have any plans for your life now?"
"I haven't considered the long-term plan. In the short term, I want to stay in Daosui City and have been stationed at the border for so long. I think my ability and qualifications are enough for me to take a step forward."
Lu Meng paused, and said to Lu Tianhe in a humble tone: "Dad, do you think my idea is feasible?"
"Of course, come back if you want." Lu Tianhe held the teacup and said calmly, "I just said that your second brother now needs a partner in the military world, a brother who fights tigers. This position is not available. People are more suitable than you, if you can accept to be a foil for your second brother, the family can give you some resources, but can you accept this shield?"
Lu Meng fell silent after hearing this, feeling a little tangled in his heart.
Lu Tianhe saw the entanglement in Lu Meng's eyes. He did not force him to make a choice, nor did he reason with him. Instead, he asked slowly, "When you came back this time, what position did Lu Linhuan promise you?"
Lu Meng hesitated for a moment, then replied truthfully, "Gong Huan said that the third-in-command of the MI is about to retire. This time, he wants me to take his place and work in the MI."
"MI, this is a place with no real power." Lu Tianhe drank his tea and shook his head gently: "This department of the MI does not have military power, and it does some behind-the-scenes work. Actually excluded from the inner circle.
Lu Linhuan put you in the position of third-in-command, which can be understood as the peak of your debut, but this peak is also the beginning of loneliness, because the internal promotion of the MI Department needs to be arranged by the big men above, not internal promotion, you so-called The third-in-command does the most work, but has no chance to show his face.
A military position, but no military power in hand, what's the point of doing this work? You've been working behind the scenes, and you haven't even had the chance to show your face. Do you want to be a shadow of the Military Intelligence Department for the rest of your life, and retire there? "
"Dad, for me, being able to join the Military Intelligence Service is already a big step forward." Lu Meng smiled and said, "I can't stay in the frontier mercenary force for the rest of my life, right?"
"Although the MI is in the military world, those who can't get military power will never have enough weight. Except for those in the MI, who can continue to be promoted to the top position, the rest can only be transferred from the military to the military. Politics, but you have no foundation in politics, this is a bad move.”
Lu Tianhe put down the teacup and commented sharply: "Although Lu Linhuan is the third elder of the Elder Council and has a high status, he has no power of his own and is destined to be difficult for him to intervene in matters other than his own power.
This person is too hard-tempered and dedicated to the public. If you ask me if I admire him, my answer is yes, but if you ask me what I think of him, I will think this person is too stupid.
Lu Linhuan devoted all his energy to the Lu family, but what is the Lu family? are the people? is the government? Or the elders?
neither! The essence of the Lu clan is to form the big families of the chaebols. The interests of these people are the real core of the Lu clan, and the so-called power, rule, and policies are all for these people in the final analysis, but Lu Linhuan Didn't realize it.
With his ability, at most he can only place you in the position of the third-in-command of the Military Intelligence Department, because this is a job with little power and a very tiring job. If you want to go up, you need to check and balance power and play against each other, but Lu Linhuan. There is simply no bargaining chip to gamble with other people to give you a chance.
I know that you have always been disdainful of the power struggle of the family, thinking it is a meaningless internal conflict, but what I want to tell you is that people who follow the rules will not be able to eat enough in this circle, if they do not have their own power and family Even a top-notch big man like Lu Linhuan would be isolated and ostracized by others. After all, one person cannot fight against a group of people.
Just like our family, you and I both know that your second brother is a capable person, but without the family's recommendation and recommendation, would your second brother have the opportunity to participate in the Qiongling Battle? If not, according to his ideal, he can only become an ideal painter, and how can a painter change Lu?
There are always people who scold the Lu family for being corrupt. Some people even say that finding a pig butcher to rule the chaebol would have a better future than now. Their origins are destined to be only the class and the victim of being squeezed!
Politics goes backwards if we don't advance. If our family stays put, the people below will naturally want to make themselves stronger, then trample us underfoot and replace us. You want to follow the rules, but there are always people who don't follow the rules. ! You said, if I had to choose, would I sacrifice one of you or everyone in the family? "
It was the first time that Lu Meng heard Lu Tianhe tell him so much truth, but he just listened quietly and did not respond.
"As a father~lightnovelpub.net~ I'll give you a piece of advice now, if you don't want to rely on family power, but develop your own, you'd better reject Lu Linhuan, because the third-in-command of the Military Intelligence Department must not have the identity of a mercenary division commander. Make you more comfortable, of course, I don't mean work, but the future development path.
And the most important point, don't think that an upright person must be a simple person, and don't think that Lu Linhuan does nothing. And a person who loves feathers so much will not make an exception for you. "
Lu Tianhe paused: "I'm your father, although I don't like you, I won't deceive you!
I will give you time to think about it. If you are willing to return to the family and be your second brother's foil, the family will make efforts to arrange your military position and make you an officer of the army guards with military power, but at critical moments, you must stand up Self-sacrifice, save your second brother at all costs. "
Lu Meng remained silent.
"It's time, let's go eat first." Lu Tianhe glanced at the clock on the wall and continued: "No matter what, Lu Linhuan is kind to you after all, let's meet him in the afternoon, when you make a decision, you can talk to him. I contact."
