Lu Zheng's remaining time is clearly not much, he estimates about five to ten years at most. After this period, he can only move toward the end of life through recuperation, naturally he won't care about those risks.

Within the Heavy Machinery Faction, there may be quite a few who share their thoughts, but what about those conservative factions holding onto their old ways? This is the most troublesome variable in the negotiations.
Just like Wang Rui asked, if there are people who support him within the Heavy Machinery Faction and some are clearly opposed, how would he handle those dissenters?
