Volume 6 The Storm of War Chapter 59 The Future
On the 7th, at around 11 o'clock, the South Korean Air Force launched its last counterattack......
With the end of the last large-scale air battle, the large-scale military conflict of the "Dokdo War" ended, and from the outbreak on the morning of the 3rd, it lasted less than 1c0~hours.
The "Dokdo War" once again reflected the characteristics of a regional local armed conflict.
Since the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War in 20115, regional local armed conflicts have clearly shown the characteristics of "short, fast, and ruthless", with large-scale armed conflicts lasting only a few days or more than a dozen days, the pace of offensive and defensive transitions and situation changes accelerating, and combat losses being extremely heavy. The subsequent wars in the East China Sea, the Old War, the Vietnam War, and the South China Sea War, in which the Republic participated, all reflected these characteristics.
Through this series of wars, the Republic has gradually summed up the concept of military warfare with distinctive characteristics.
Compared with the war led by the United States, the most important feature of the war led by the republic is that the engagement time is short, and the military operation is stopped immediately after the completion of the military mission to avoid falling into the quagmire of war. Even in Vietnam, after completing the combat mission, the Republican ** team withdrew from Vietnam within a few months, and was not involved in the Vietnamese civil war on a large scale.
Tactically, the difference between the two sides is not much.
In the stage of tactical operations, both the Republic and the US military attach great importance to comprehensive and thorough air strikes, and both use rapid and rapid air strikes to achieve their main military objectives.
The biggest difference between the two is the strategic purpose, that is, the political goal to be achieved by the war.
The primary purpose of waging war is often to maintain peace and stability in the surrounding areas, to strike at and eliminate enemies that pose threats and challenges to the national security and national interests of the republic, and to create a surrounding environment conducive to the republic's own development. Even during the Vietnam War, the Republic did not interfere excessively in Vietnam's internal affairs, and after the war, it was still up to the Vietnamese people to decide for themselves the future of the country and the nation.
The U.S.-led wars had a clear political aim. Whether it's the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, or the war in Iran. They all regard "overthrowing the regimes of other countries" or "supporting puppet regimes" as their primary goals. War is not waged to safeguard U.S. national security and national interests. Rather, it is to serve domestic interest groups, to serve politicians. Late stage of the Iran war. It is only then that the United States has gradually adjusted its thinking on military warfare. Changing the Purpose of War.
The basic national conditions of the two countries. It has determined the fundamental difference in the thinking of the two wars.
No matter how high the outside world "praises" the republic. Before you have enough basic strength. The republic remains a "regional power with significant international influence". Not a "world power" like the United States. The nature of the "regional power" dictates that the republic must concentrate on developing its domestic economy and strengthening its national strength. Even if the dispute is resolved by military means as a last resort. Domestic development must also be ensured. Military ideology serves the interests of the country. It is not surprising that this gave rise to the "idea of military warfare with Chinese characteristics."
The nature of the "world power" determines that the United States' thinking on military war is not aimed at promoting and safeguarding domestic development. Rather, it is based on the fundamental goal of "securing vested interests".
It can be seen from this. The foreign wars of the Republic are clearly of a "strategic defensive nature". The U.S. foreign wars are obviously of a "strategic offensive nature." Although American politicians, soldiers, and scholars have been shouting all day long that "the United States has shifted from strategic expansion to strategic contraction in the face of the challenge of the Republic." However, there has been no change in the overall strategy of "blockading the republic" and "encircling and suppressing the republic" from beginning to end.
Look a little deeper. You can find out. There has been a marked change in Japan's thinking on military warfare.
Before the military government came to power, Japan, which was tied to the USS America, did not have an independent military war concept, and even the United States had adopted the tactical thinking as the standard.
Japan's performance in the Dokdo War proved that Japan was learning to imitate the republic's military warfare thinking.
Because the concept of military war is a direct reflection of the national strategy, it can be concluded from this that Japan no longer regards the United States as a "teacher" but instead "learns from the experience" of the Republic.
National strategy determines the idea of military war, and it can be seen from this that Murakami Sadamasa is very clear about Japan's position.
What would happen if, like South Korea, Japan was dominated by a "great power mentality" that led to a deviation in its national strategy and a struggle with the United States for world hegemony despite its lack of national strength?
Just as Zhao Rundong said, it is not terrible for Japan to be militarized, but what is terrible is the emergence of a politician in Japan who can control the army and give the Japanese army the mind and soul.
South Korea's defeat was expected, and it is the fate of Japan after the Dokdo War that it is worth paying the most attention.
Before the end of the large-scale military conflict, 2 "little things" happened.
First, at around 1 o'clock on the morning of 7 July, the electronic reconnaissance plane of the Republic of China and the United States encountered each other about 150 kilometers northeast of Ulleungdo, and after being entangled with each other for about 15 minutes, they collided slightly, and then each returned home with injuries. On the way back, the republic's electronic reconnaissance plane had to make an emergency landing at the North Korean Chongjin Air Base because the left horizontal tail fell off; The US electronic reconnaissance plane is returning
Because of the rupture of the vertical tail, it had to be forced in the sea east of the East Sea Port in South Korea: fortunately, there were no casualties on both sides.
The second is the "chance encounter" between the submarines of the two sides in the warring waters of the Sea of Japan.
After the outbreak of war, both the Republic and the United States made the decision to send submarines to the warring zone.
The Republic's 2 attack nuclear submarines and 2 ~ all-electric submarines passed through the Korean Strait at night and entered the Sea of Japan, arriving in the warring waters in the early morning of the 5th. Because Zhao Rundong never approved the "war operation", the submarines of the Republic only went to be "spectators" and did not attack Japanese submarines and warships.
2 The US Navy's "Virginia"-class attack nuclear submarine entered the Sea of Japan from the Soya Strait in the early morning of the 5th and arrived in the warring waters on the afternoon of the 6th. Like the Republic's submarines, American submarines did not participate in the war, but only closely monitored the whereabouts of Japanese submarines and fleets and collected intelligence on Japanese ships.
In addition to the 6 South Korean submarines that were sunk, there were 8~Japanese submarines operating in the Sea of Japan at that time.
In the narrow Sea of Japan, 1 submarine has gathered at once!
Encounters and "collisions" are inevitable. Although the Republic and the United States have not announced the activities of the submarines, according to outside speculation, there must have been a collision between the Republic and the United States. Because a few days later, a Republic submarine with a damaged enclosure of the command platform returned to Qingdao Port, and then an American submarine with a damaged "nose" returned to Pearl Harbor.
This "submarine collision accident" is nothing, and over the years, the submarines of the navies of the two countries have done similar things.
With the end of large-scale conflicts, diplomacy has become a new sight.
On January 11, Japan and South Korea held their first informal contacts at the suggestion of China, the United States and Russia.
Bilateral negotiations were inconclusive, with both Japan and South Korea claiming sovereignty over Dokdo, Japan offering to maintain the status quo, and South Korea strongly demanding the withdrawal of Japanese troops from Dokdo.
On 15 January, the bilateral negotiations turned into the "Six-Party Talks".
The foreign ministers of China, the United States, Russia, Japan, and the ROK held the first round of consultations in Beijing. Because the Japanese representative first raised the "Korean nuclear issue" and the DPRK representative then raised the "Japanese nuclear issue," the first round of consultations of the "Six-Party Talks" still ended in failure.
Diplomatic struggles are unlikely to be reaped in a moment.
As the Spring Festival approaches, the Republic is about to usher in a new era.
On January 211, Zhao Rundong proposed at the Standing Congress to "add a vice head of state" and submit a list of basic members of the next government to the Standing Congress.
In accordance with the relevant laws of the Republic, the two proposals were first considered by the Standing Congress and then voted on by the Plenary Assembly.
If nothing else, it is a foregone conclusion that Wang Yuanqing will become vice head of state and Gu Weimin will become premier of the State Council.
On the last day of January, Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Rundong held a state banquet and invited thousands of guests, including government officials, committee members, and people from all walks of life, to welcome the arrival of the Year of the Tiger.
On the first day of February, Zhao Rundong, Pang Xinglong, Wang Yuanqing, Gu Weimin, and others successively went to various places to inspect the work.
Because he was not yet the vice head of state, Wang Yuanqing took the initiative to ask to go to Guangxi.
According to Peng Maobang, Zhao Rundong basically agreed to Wang Yuanqing's request, and after the establishment of the vice head of state, a supporting agency will be set up, and Wang Yuanqing can arrange Ye Zhisheng and others to serve the vice head of state, and reserve two positions for Wang Yuanqing in the next government.
Even if it is not a "political deal", it can be seen that Zhao Rundong has changed his original intention.
During the few months that Wang Yuanqing actively participated in the decision-making of major national affairs, he showed far more ability than Gu Weimin. Many times, what Zhao Rundong didn't expect, Wang Yuanqing thought of. For example, after the outbreak of the Dokdo War, Wang Yuanqing's proposal for several well-founded advances and retreats proved to be very strategic, so that the Republic has always been in a very advantageous position, neither too involved in the war, nor too alienated South Korea.
Zhao Rundong is not the kind of person who puts personal interests above national interests.
As Japan embarks on the path of foreign expansion, the Republic will face unprecedented challenges. In the foreseeable future, the contradictions between the Republic and Japan will erupt in a few years.
Only strong-willed, long-sighted leaders can lead a republic to victory over the enemy.
Maybe Wang Yuanqing still has such and such problems, but no matter what aspect he looks at, Gu Weimin, who is good at government work, is not as good as Wang Yuanqing, who has won the true biography of Ji Youguo.
Zhao Rundong is aware of his physical condition and the future of the country and the nation.
Even without the influence of Peng Maobang, Pan Yunsheng and others, after Wang Yuanqing showed his ability to lead the country and the nation forward, Zhao Rundong would make the same choice.
For Wang Yuanqing, the next few years will not only determine his personal political future, but also the fate of the country and the nation!
Damn it**
During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
