Zhao Rundong, who was sitting precariously, glanced at it, and Ji Youguo sighed

"Old Ji ......"

"You're right, if you don't fight, you won't say it, if you really fight, you have to give Japan a little color to see, so that they are afraid in their dreams" Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "It's just that we can't start a war lightly Ozawa dares to pick quarrels and provoke trouble at this time, first, the United States has shifted its focus to the Gulf region and has no time to take care of the situation in East Asia; Second, the Democratic Party has been in power for seven years and has made no achievements in the economy, so it must perform in other aspects; Third, our military reform has just begun, and the restructuring of the armed forces has not yet been completed, and Ozawa believes that we will not use military action to resolve contradictions."

"If he really thinks so, then it's a big mistake" Zhao Rundong smiled coldly, looking confident

"The key is not whether we can teach Japan a lesson," Ji Youguo sighed again and said, "Fundamentally speaking, Ozawa did not have much confidence in Japan's military strength, when the Democratic Party first came to power, it had little influence on the military, and through seven years of hard work, a large number of senior generals and important officials were replaced, and the Democratic Party finally mastered that if the military started a war lightly and lost again, all the efforts of the Democratic Party would be in vain: make concessions on the Taiwan issue, and negotiate with us for settlement of intellectual property infringement cases. The move to voluntarily end the trade war and allow the ships that built the navigation station to stay in the port of Naha shows that Ozawa is unwilling to confront us directly and has engaged in so many tricks, which is nothing more than a political showmanship, to canvass votes for the DPJ, and to prepare for next year's general election."

"Ozawa doesn't dare, it doesn't mean that others don't dare."

Ji Youguo nodded, agreeing with Zhao Rundong's point of view

Japan's prime minister, like the US president, has always been a puppet of major interest groups, as the hardest hit area of the financial crisis, Japan's economy has not improved in the past few years, and after the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), which lacks experience in governance, came to power, it has devoted more energy to consolidating its political position than to making every effort to improve Japan's economic situation

All these factors have greatly weakened Ozawa's influence, and if certain political forces in Japan are supported by interest groups, Ozawa will find it difficult to control the situation, and Japan will embark on a road of no return in an irreversible way, and the Republic will inevitably be greatly affected

"Lao Ji, I understand your thoughts" After pondering for a while, Zhao Rundong said, "We must try our best to make things develop in a good direction, but we must prepare for the worst"

"In many cases, the development of events is really not up to us," Ji Youguo said, "Pan Yunsheng has already sent ships and planes to intercept the fishing boat bound for the Diaoyu Islands, but there is not much hope of arriving in time, if the Japanese domestic forces want to use this to intensify the conflict, we have to consider the worst outcome and prepare for the worst."

"I still say that you have to be ruthless and fast, and you can't let Japan heal the scars and forget the pain"

Ji Youguo nodded slightly: "This is exactly the issue I am considering, I want to teach Japan a painful lesson, it is not enough to rely on military means, we must work hard in other aspects."

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and said, "Old Ji, what do you mean ......?"

"You said at the beginning that we can't ignore the impact of the 'US-Japan alliance', even if it's just a regional conflict, we have to consider the attitude of the United States," Ji Youguo paced back and forth in the room and said, "Japan is not India, if it fights too hard, the United States will never sit idly by, relatively speaking, the current situation is more favorable to us, the US military is preparing to attack Iran, we have a military conflict with Japan, it is difficult for the US military to respond quickly, if the conflict can be ended before the US military completes military adjustment, the United States will not be able to get the opportunity to intervene."

"In this case, the duration of the conflict must be controlled within three to five days, and at most it must not exceed one week," Zhao Rundong said after a slight hesitation, "We can only attack Japan's local military forces, especially maritime forces, and cannot attack Japanese targets on the mainland, so as not to escalate the conflict."

"In addition, military strikes must be ruthless, accurate, and fast, and strive to defeat Japan's maritime military forces before the end of the conflict, so that Japan will lose the ability to conduct military operations overseas," Ji Youguo touched his chin and sat down on the sofa, "We need to be prepared in all aspects, but military strikes not only cannot make Japan afraid, but may also become a reason for Japan to expand its armaments."

Zhao Rundong nodded, understanding what Ji Youguo meant by "other aspects".

"Japan's dead end is a sluggish economy," Ji Youguo pondered for a while before he said, "If we can take this opportunity to bring down the Japanese economy, it will not only make Japan afraid, but also create a peaceful environment for us for ten to twenty years."

"The problem is, it also affects us a lot."

Ji Youguo smiled faintly and did not deny Zhao Rundong's opinion

Although after the outbreak of the financial crisis, countries around the world vigorously promoted "trade protectionism", which hit global economic integration hard, but after the financial crisis ended, countries have changed their policies.

As long as a swift recovery is not encountered, a trend of full:t|is inevitable

As the Republic's third largest trading partner, the impact of Japan's economic development on the Republic is enormous

"Anyway, we have more chips in our hands," Ji Youguo sighed, and said, "Over the years, our economic and trade exchanges with Japan have been going downhill, and Japan's domestic trade protectionism has also risen, although the Japanese economy has been hit hard, which will have a negative impact on us, but compared to the peaceful development environment in the next ten to twenty years, this sacrifice is nothing, the worse the Japanese economy, the more important it attaches to economic and trade exchanges with us, and the less dare it is to conflict with us on trade issues In the long run, Not necessarily a bad thing."

"There is another question," Zhao Rundong obviously hesitated for a moment before he said, "If Japan's economy suffers a heavy blow, no one can guarantee that Japan will not embark on the road of militarism, and if Japan repeats the mistakes of the past, we will bear the brunt of the victims, and it is inevitable to engage in all-out confrontation with Japan."

Ji Youguo nodded and said: "This problem is the most serious, but none of us can see that far From another point of view, if Japan embarks on the road of militarism again, it means that the 'US-Japan alliance' will break down, which is not necessarily a bad thing for us."

Hearing Ji Youguo's firm tone, Zhao Rundong didn't have much to say

"In any case, we don't need a war now, let alone take the initiative to provoke a war" Ji Youguo also saw Zhao Rundong's thoughts, "I'll call Pan Yunsheng later, and ask him to do everything to prevent the situation from expanding, you and Lao Peng have a good communication, prepare for the worst, and determine the plan for military action as soon as possible."

"Do you want to discuss it with Premier Pang?"

Ji Youguo frowned slightly, and said, "I'll talk to him early tomorrow morning and ask for his opinion, you don't have to worry about these things, I'll arrange it."

"I'll go to the General Staff immediately" Zhao Rundong stood up, "After discussing with Lao Peng, we'll discuss it in detail."

Ji Youguo nodded, got up and sent Zhao Rundong to the door

By this time, it was already dark outside

When Wang Yuanqing sent it early, Ji Youguo talked to Pan Yunsheng on the phone

The situation was not optimistic, and due to the darkness of the night, long-range maritime patrol planes were unable to intercept fishing boats at night, and the speedboats dispatched urgently did not have time to arrive before the fishing boats reached the waters of the Diaoyu Islands

Ji Youguo did not blame Pan Yunsheng for his incompetence, because the situation was beyond Pan Yunsheng's control

On the issue of whether to fight or not, Ji Youguo's attitude was not very resolute

The incident came too suddenly, and for a while, Ji Youguo could only see the positive and negative sides of the situation, and he could not accurately measure the powerful relationship

There are advantages to fighting, and there are advantages to not fighting

As the head of the republic, Ji Youguo must comprehensively weigh the pros and cons of the two and choose the solution that is most beneficial to the republic

Things are moving too fast, and there is not much time left for Ji Youguo to make strategic decisions

If the "Bao Diaoyu Righteous Warriors" on the fishing boat land on the Diaoyu Islands, it will inevitably trigger a direct confrontation between the Republic and Japan, and if Japan takes drastic actions in dealing with it, it will trigger a military conflict

Taking advantage of this to recover the Diaoyu Islands and suppress Japan's arrogance is an ideal result

If the United States is thus involved, and the republic is directly confronted by the United States, it will be the worst outcome

How can we achieve the desired outcome and avoid the worst?

Thinking about this problem, Ji Youguo didn't have much appetite at all, and after a few bites of hastily, he asked Wang Yuanqing to take the breakfast away

When Wang Yuanqing returned to the study, Ji Youguo had already talked to Yan Bo on the phone

"You go and prepare" Ji Youguo glanced at the wall clock on the wall, "Half past nine, after Premier Pang Xinglong arrives, don't let other people disturb us In addition, Mr. Yanbo will return to Beijing at about half past twelve at noon, and you arrange for someone to pick him up at the airport."

"Do you want to invite him directly to the Führer's Mansion?" Wang Yuanqing sighed secretly

"Yes, please come over directly, arrange some exquisite pastries and tea, don't be lazy" Ji Youguo rubbed his forehead, "Pan Yunsheng has news over there, come and inform me immediately"

Wang Yuanqing wrote them down one by one and said, "It's only past seven o'clock, you should hurry up and rest for a while."

"I'll lie on the sofa for a while, and when Premier Pang arrives, you come and call me."

After Ji Youguo went to the sofa and lay down, Wang Yuanqing left the study and closed the door

As the personal secretary of the Führer, Wang Yuanqing knew very well how serious the situation in front of him was, and even more aware of how bad Ji Youguo's physical condition was In the next few days, or even more than a dozen days and nights, the biggest challenge facing Ji Youguo was not the enemy in the outside world, but his own body
