Volume 7 The Smoke of the Peninsula Chapter 26 The Leader
When Cunxun called, it was already the early morning of the 9th.!!
Wang Yuanqing didn't go to the Military Intelligence Bureau, nor did he go to the General Staff, so he asked Jiao Lushan to make a pot of strong tea and wait for the final result.
Although Wang Yuanqing was not a soldier, when he was Ji Youguo's secretary, he participated in the planning and command of military operations, especially secret military operations. After a long illness, he became a doctor, and his rich experience gave Wang Yuanqing a little understanding of the special operations operation and knew that the operation would end before dawn.
What the result was, Wang Yuanqing didn't think much about it.
One thing is for sure, if the "Japanese special forces" exchange fire with the North Korean army near Kaesong and then withdraw south of the ceasefire line, it will certainly make the situation on the peninsula more tense.
When arranging work, Wang Yuanqing took this into account.
It can be seen from this that Wang Yuanqing is an out-and-out "main battle faction". Compared with Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong, Wang Yuanqing has not only been tougher but also more proactive in handling peripheral issues involving national security and national interests.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is because Wang Yuanqing is not of the same generation as Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong.
Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong were born in the 50s of the 20th century and belong to the "first generation" of the republic. Because they have experienced several major periods of the Republic, whether it is Ji Youguo, Zhao Rundong, or even Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng, who have always been tough, they are very cautious when dealing with surrounding issues, and often do not strike hard until there is no way back. The difference is that Ji Youguo's ability to control the overall situation far exceeds that of Zhao Rundong, and even if he responds passively, he can turn passivity into initiative.
In fact, the "generation gap" is not the main problem.
As a third-generation citizen of the Republic of the Republic of the 20th century and 70s of his birthplace. Wang Yuanqing experienced a "period of great change" in the Republic. Compared to the previous two generations. Wang Yuanqing's generation is not only more adventurous, more adept at pioneering, and more aware of pursuit. It is also more confident and self-reliant. The mind is very open-minded. as a national leader. Ideology is not a decisive factor in dealing with international affairs that are closely related to national interests.
It is the strength of the country that determines the place of policy.
Arguably. Ji Youguo has been striving to improve the national strength of the Republic. Zhao Rundong did a similar job. The two did not focus on peripheral issues. Nor did they take the initiative to expand the sphere of influence in the Republic. Two generations of leaders have worked hard. A solid foundation has been laid for successors.
2~ sets of important data may be more revealing.
In 2010. The country's GDP is 36 trillion yuan, equivalent to 54 trillion US dollars. Although it is the third largest economic entity in the world. However, the total is only 26% of the United States; Year 20177. The Republic's GDP is close to 72 trillion yuan, equivalent to $13 trillion. Become the second largest economic entity in the world. The total is 71% of the United States; In 2023. The GDP of the Republic is 1c700 million yuan, equivalent to 24 trillion US dollars. The total is 97% of the land in the United States. If the growth rate continues to be 74% in 2024. The republic will surpass the United States. Become the world's largest economic entity.
In 2010. The per capita disposable income of the Republic is about 18,700 yuan, equivalent to 2,800 US dollars. for the United States; Year 20177. The per capita disposable income of the Republic is approximate, equivalent to, $7,600. 11% for the United States; 2c23 years. The per capita disposable income of the Republic is about 68,000 yuan, equivalent to 15,100 US dollars. 18% for the United States. According to the most optimistic estimates. By 2050. The per capita disposable income of the Republic will be on par with that of the United States; Even the most conservative estimates. It will also reach this level by 2065.
Both in terms of overall national strength and per capita strength, the speed of development of the republic is very astonishing.
It can be said that Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong left a rich "family property" for their successors.
With strength, we can do great things.
Under the condition of a relatively backward economy, the republic must immerse itself in hard work and concentrate its efforts on doing a good job in domestic construction. With the gradual improvement of its economic strength, the Republic needs sufficient resources and markets, and it is no longer possible to meet the needs of national development by focusing only on domestic construction, let alone effectively safeguarding national interests.
Against this backdrop, any leader will adjust the country's basic strategy.
Zhao Rundong gradually handed over power to Wang Yuanqing, precisely because Wang Yuanqing's strategy was able to maximize the protection and realization of national interests, rather than his physical condition that forced him to hand over power. If Wang Yuanqing didn't show enough ability, as long as Zhao Rundong still had a breath, he wouldn't do it.
Having enough strength is just the driving force for the country to move forward.
To get on the right path, you need to have a very clear purpose.
This is exactly where Wang Yuanqing performs better than Ji Youguo and Zhao Rundong.
No matter what he does, Wang Yuanqing's purpose is very clear.
When he went to the place, Wang Yuanqing went all out in the pilot work in Guangxi and proved his talent; returned to the central government, the status has not yet been determined, and conflicts of interest with Zhao Rundong are avoided everywhere; After his status was determined, he showed his strength and was soon recognized and appreciated by the older generation of leaders, including Zhao Rundong. All this proves that Wang Yuanqing has already set a goal and has been striving for it.
In terms of foreign policy, Wang Yuanqing's concept of goal is even more amazing.
Not to mention, during the period after the defection of Li Xiaowen in North Korea, Wang Yuanqing behaved aggressively everywhere
It gives people the impression that even if the United States, Japan, and South Korea do not take the initiative to provoke a war, they will also cause it. Although this is an illusion to a large extent, it can fully reflect Wang Yuanqing's initiative and goal concept.
Since wars will break out sooner or later, all work is aimed at winning wars!
In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to create all favorable conditions for the republic. For example, detonate the war at the most appropriate time, participate in the war in the most reasonable way, win the war at the smallest cost, and obtain the greatest benefits after the war.
These qualities of Wang Yuanqing are Zhao Rundong's main defects.
I have to admit that Ji Youguo has long seen Wang Yuanqing's characteristics and knows that the republic needs a leader like Wang Yuanqing at some point in the future, so he will point out the way for Wang Yuanqing and make relevant arrangements before leaving office.
As for whether Ji Youguo exerted influence on Zhao Rundong, it is unknown.
Of course, Wang Yuanqing is not without shortcomings.
Among the three main qualities that a national leader must have, "strength values" and "goal concept" are clearly reflected in Wang Yuanqing, but the "concept of development and change" is not expressed. Because he has not yet officially "ruled", it is not appropriate to judge whether he possesses this quality.
In a small aspect, what Wang Yuanqing lacks most is the experience of governing the country.
Peng Maobang and Pan Yunsheng resolutely supported Wang Yuanqing's return to the central government to take up important posts, and in addition to consolidating Wang Yuanqing's position in the decision-making circles, the main purpose was to use Zhao Rundong's second term of office to allow Wang Yuanqing to accumulate enough experience in governing the country and lay the foundation for the formal "governance" in the future.
Wang Yuanqing was able to obtain today's status, in addition to Ji You's national support, personal efforts are the most critical factor.
waited from midnight until dawn before Li Cunxun called.
"What!?" Wang Yuanqingdi's expression changed drastically, "Are there any casualties...... Well, when will you be able to withdraw...... Okay, you're ready...... Yes, I'll be right over...... No, I'll just come by myself...... Okay, no bother, I'll have breakfast on the way...... Okay, okay, that's all. ”
Waiting for Wang Yuanqing to put down the phone, Ye Zhisheng stood up. "How's it going?"
"People were rescued, but they were in some trouble with their actions." Wang Yuanqing sighed, "Fortunately, it's a minor problem, it's not too serious, the receiving troops have already set off, and all the personnel participating in the operation can be withdrawn before noon." ”
"Heavy casualties?"
"Only a few people were injured, no one was killed." Wang Yuanqing smiled and said, "Hurry up and prepare, let's go to the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately and have breakfast on the way." ”
Ye Zhisheng didn't say much, and immediately went to find Jiao Lushan and the guards.
0 minutes later, Wang Yuanqing set off with Ye Zhisheng and Jiao Lushan.
When he came to the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun had already asked people to prepare the conference room.
"I just received the news that the first operatives, our two spies and the rescue subjects have been withdrawn and will arrive at the air base around nine o'clock." Li Cunxun didn't say too much, "I have already sent someone over, and after bringing them back, I will personally be in charge of the interrogation." ”
"Is this necessary?"
"The sooner we can complete the rebellion, the better it will be for us." Li Cunxun paused and said, "After the North Korean intelligence and security department arrested Gu Shu Ryohei, they eliminated the Japanese spy network that cooperated with Gu Shu Ryohei's operation and arrested dozens of Japanese agents. The news has not yet been disseminated, and as long as Tani Ryohei returns to Japan as soon as possible, he can convince the Japanese National Intelligence Agency that he has not fallen into the hands of North Korea. If it drags on for a few days, he will have no use value. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and agreed with Li Cunxun's approach.
"The second group will be able to withdraw soon." Li Cunxun noticed that Wang Yuanqing's expression was a little tired, and changed his tone and said, "After they come back, I will report the situation in time." ”
"Nothing, we'll wait here for a while."
Li Cunxun sighed secretly and didn't say much.
"Have resources been mobilized to monitor the movements of the North and South Korean forces?"
"It's already been arranged." Li Cunxun glanced at his watch, "The first batch of satellite reconnaissance photos will be received in fifteen minutes, and the news sent back by the reconnaissance plane will be received before eight o'clock." ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded. "It seems that everything that should be arranged has been arranged."
"The General Staff has also been contacted, and if there is a conflict between the two armies, it will respond as soon as possible."
"You mean, the General Staff has already drawn up a battle plan?"
"It's just a draft, and the detailed battle plan has not yet been completed. Military action is always available if necessary. ”
Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while, and said to Ye Zhisheng: "You go to the General Staff Headquarters, ask about the situation roughly, and if you are ready, let Xiang Linghui hold an operational meeting in the afternoon." ”
"This afternoon?"
"Of course, is it tomorrow afternoon?"
Ye Zhisheng didn't ask much, nodded and agreed.
Compared with several leaders of the older generation, Wang Yuanqing has another advantage is that he is energetic.
Damn it**
During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
