Volume 7 Peninsular Smoke of Gunpowder Chapter 14 Signs

Losing the election with the party makes Frederick not do anything outside

Although he did not leave office until January 2025, after the election, Frederick's main job was to complete the transfer of power with Democratic President-elect Westwood. In order to avoid violent fluctuations in the transfer of power, not only did Frederick "converge", but Congress will also leave some major matters for the next president to decide.

The reality determines that the United States will find it difficult to make any major decisions before it is elected president.

Japan took the initiative to show goodwill, hoping that the United States would build a bridge, actively promote negotiations on the Dokdo issue of Japan and South Korea, and alleviate tensions between Japan and South Korea.

Frederick was very cold and sent only the Deputy Secretary of State in charge of Asian affairs to Seoul.

It’s not that Frederick is not enthusiastic, but that Westwood’s proposition on the Asia-Pacific and Northeast Asia issues is completely opposite to Frederick. During the campaign, Westwood promised voters that after being elected, he would not only withdraw all troops stationed in Iran during his term of office, but also try to improve relations with Asia-Pacific countries including China, reduce military expenditures, and invest more funds in social welfare, public health, and economic development.

Promoting Japan-South Korea reconciliation is one of Westwood's core policies, and it is not Frederick's turn to "intervene".

Whether to intervene or not is a trivial matter. There is a very serious crisis hidden behind the reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. As long as Liu Zongchun believes that he can resolve the Dokdo issue with Japan through negotiation, he will turn the finger to North Korea.

Japan suddenly made concessions after nearly three years of persistence, and must have wanted to use the South Korean-Korean war to land on the Asian continent.

Will China stand by and watch?

Idiots know that as long as Japan expands to the outside world again, when the first Japanese army lands on the Korean Peninsula, China will wave the stick in its hand and teach Japan hard a lesson.

What should the United States do?

Participating in the war is to shed blood for South Korea. Not participating in the war can only make China or Japan bigger.

Thinking of the bloody storm in the future, Frederick feels very grateful. Because whether the Republican Party comes to power or the Democrats enter the White House, they will face the danger of a military conflict with China.

In fact, Frederick was also worried about it.

The place where the election was lost was not Frederick, but the governor of Wisconsin.

Compared with the indifferent attitude of the United States, South Korea's attitude is completely different.

On October 27, Japanese and South Korean representatives held the first official meeting of the seventh round of negotiations on the "Doudao issue" in Jeju, South Korea.

Because Japan announced on the 26th that it would do its best to resolve the Dokdo issue with South Korea, the meeting attracted high attention from the news media.

How many limits will Japan make in the negotiations?

No one believes that Japan will spit out the fat meat that it eats. NN and Al Jazeera both believe that, with Japan's domestic situation, even if Murakami is willing to reconcile with South Korea, and is influenced by the military and civilian forces, Japan will not make substantial concessions on the Dokdo issue, and at most share the fishing rights in the waters around Dokdo with South Korea. In this case, due to domestic pressure, the South Korean government will not make any concessions on the Dokdo issue. In addition to demanding the right to fishing development, it will also raise the issue of sovereignty of Dokdo. Both TV stations believe that although the negotiations will not achieve substantial results, it is of great significance to improving Japan-South Korea relations.

Japan and South Korea resumed negotiations, and the Republic and North Korea were most affected.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic issued a statement on the morning of the 27th, expressing its hope that Japan and South Korea will resolve the dispute through peaceful negotiations and wish the negotiations a complete success.

Compared with the Republic's attitude, North Korea's reaction was more "positive".

Although the Dokdo issue has basically nothing to do with North Korea, North Korea has always claimed that Dokdo is an inalienable territory. Since the first round of negotiations, North Korea has always claimed that it will not recognize any agreement reached by Japan and South Korea related to Dokdo sovereignty, accusing South Korea of ​​betraying the interests of the entire nation.

North Korea did this to use Japan to reduce military pressure. If Japan and South Korea "reconcile", North Korea will become the biggest "victimized country". As long as South Korea regards Japan as its primary enemy, North Korea's security will be guaranteed. After Liu Zongchun came to power, he even "high-profile" in promoting the importance of national unity.

This is true. As soon as the negotiations began, Liu Zongchun held a high-level government meeting.

On the 28th, 10,000 South Korean troops and more than 12,000 US troops held a joint practical exercise code-named "2024 Season Training" in Gangwon Province, south of the "38th Parallel", with Gangwon Province (the same name as Gangwon Province in North Korea) and Gyeonggi Province. Although the main subject of the exercise was "Joint Operation of South Korea and the US military when it was suddenly attacked", the active offensive and large-scale counterattack throughout the entire exercise, and the real test was that the Korean team launched a large-scale offensive capability with limited support from the US military.

This exercise heated up the situation on the peninsula again.

On the afternoon of the 28th, more than 300,000 North Korean troops deployed near the "38th Line" entered the state of preparation, and many tens of thousands of North Korean troops stationed in deep defense areas opened camps and assembled to the front line.

Although no one thinks that the war will break out immediately, no one can deny the possibility of accidental fire.

, an accidental event almost triggered the Peninsula War.

When the South Korean long-range artillery unit was shooting live-fire, the guides reported the target position data incorrectly because they were "negligent" and a large-caliber artillery shell fell to the north of the middle line of the military isolation area, almost blowing up a North Korean army patrolling the isolation area.

Afterwards, the North Korean army fired only a warning shot and did not take the initiative to fight back.

The South Korean army's "mistake" was too explicit. The shells deviated from the target thousands of meters, which was obviously testing North Korea's reaction.

After receiving the news, Li Cunxun immediately reported to the head of state and the deputy head of state. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also quickly sent a message that the North Korean Foreign Minister summoned the Republic's ambassador to North Korea, and Kim Cheol-nam held an emergency meeting at the Armed Forces Headquarters.

"Compared with the past, North Korea's reaction was very mild." Li Cunxun sighed secretly and said, "North Korea took the initiative to summon our ambassador and obviously did not make a decision on war. As long as we calm down and do not give North Korea to expand the conflict, the situation will calm down. If a slap cannot be sounded, South Korea will not continue to expand the conflict after testing North Korea's reaction."

"Why?" Zhao Rundong asked very directly.

"South Korea is not ready for offensive work." Li Cunxun replied very readily, "The South Korean army has not adjusted its deployment, and the front-line troops are in a defensive state; before eliminating Japan's threat, Liu Zongchun has no reason to actively trigger a war; the United States is in a period of regime alternation, and even if Liu Zongchun does not intend to rely on the support of the US military, he will not take action before the United States makes a clear statement. The key is still Japan. Before Japan makes substantial concessions, Liu Zongchun has no reason to point the finger to the north."

Zhao Rundong nodded slightly and said, "South Korea's tentative actions show that Liu Zongchun is already preparing for the northward journey."

"This is absolutely certain." Li Cunxun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It can be inferred that Japan has made major concessions at the negotiating table, and all it lacks is to sign relevant agreements."

"If Japan intends to push the war, the negotiations will end soon."

Li Cunxun nodded at Wang Yuanqing, indicating that it was indeed the case.

"In other words, the war will break out soon." Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly, "It's not that we are promoting the war now, but that Japan is actively promoting the war."

"Old Zhao, we have to be prepared."

Zhao Rundong nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Prepare immediately, but don't be too obvious, so as not to make people feel that we are provoking a war. Xiao Wang, you are responsible for the specific matters, not a major strategic decision. Don't ask for my opinion, just make a decision."

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly.

“The doctor checked me yesterday.

"Zhao Rundong sighed, "There is not much improvement, so let me rest more."

"This..." Wang Yuanqing did not hesitate anymore, "Okay, I will be responsible for the specific matters, and I will ask the head of state for instructions on major decisions."

Zhao Rundong smiled and said nothing.

Wang Yuanqing and Li Cunxun knew that the head of state was tired, so they immediately stood up to say goodbye.

When leaving the head of state, Wang Yuanqing asked Li Cunxun to get into his car.

"Have you picked it up?"

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I just received it in the afternoon. I personally take charge of the interrogation."

"Don't be ruthless, the sooner you get the result, the better it will be for us." Wang Yuanqing sighed, "A war will break out this year, and we can't wait."

"In the year?" Li Cunxun frowned slightly.

"Murakami Seimasa and Yoo Sung-jun are not only not stupid, but also very smart." Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "When Westwood takes office, he will definitely adjust the US policy and may not necessarily shed blood for South Korea. As long as Murakami Seimasa and Yoo Sung-jun are determined to start a war, he will definitely take action before Westwood takes office and drag the United States into the war. At that time, the United States will be in a difficult situation and it will not be so easy to get out."

Lee Cunxun nodded and said, "That is why South Korea will use the opportunity of exercise to test North Korea."

"It's a pity that Kim Cheol-nam is a coward." Wang Yuanqing shook his head with a smile, "If he wants to have the courage of his father and his grandfather, he might be able to delay until next year. As North Korea becomes soft, Liu Zongchun will feel more confident, and Murakami Seimasa will be more active. Not to mention our secret deployment, even if we make a clear attitude, it will probably be useless."

"We have to fight, we still have a lot of work to do."

"So try to seize the time." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Li Cunxun, "The responsibilities of the Military Intelligence Bureau are very important. Do you have confidence?"

"Faith?" Li Cunxun smiled and said, "If I don't have confidence, I won't enter this industry."

Wang Yuanqing also laughed. Among the people he came into contact with, only the intelligence personnel would not have confidence problems.

After breaking up with Wang Yuanqing, Li Cunxun did not return to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but went to the interrogation center in the suburbs. Because the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau was full of people, Li Cunxun arranged the interrogation work at other locations.
