Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 31 Turmoil on the Island
The Bay community took the initiative to cooperate with the mainland, so that the Military Intelligence Agency had to adjust its deployment. 【】
At the end of August, there were several vicious robberies and homicides in the southern part of the island, and the police quickly targeted several pro-green camp associations with major suspicions, and immediately launched a crackdown on the community organizations.
Although the Green Camp accused the Blue Camp of taking this opportunity to carry out "political persecution" against the legitimate social groups of the Green Camp, the authorities on the island did not lower the intensity of the crackdown, and banned several pro-Green Camp associations on the grounds of "maintaining social order," "cracking down on underworld forces," and "protecting people's safety," and arrested or detained thousands of community members.
All of a sudden, the storm and clouds gathered on the island, as if a typhoon was about to make landfall.
The situation on the island immediately aroused the great attention of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and Li Cunxun smelled the smell of mountain rain coming.
On 2 September, Li Cunxun issued an order for intelligence officers in Taiwan to closely monitor the whereabouts of the top echelons of the Green Battalion.
In Li Cunxun's view, when the pressure on the authorities on the island is greater to a certain extent, certain restless elements on the island will rise up and stir up trouble. If Japan wants to do something in Taiwan, it will certainly not miss the opportunity in front of it. As long as the Green Battalion claims to be "politically persecuted", sooner or later it will turn to certain countries for help. Japan may not necessarily intervene in the island's affairs at the first time, because it is not only Japan but also the United States that is paying close attention to the situation on the island. As long as the United States makes some kind of response, such as putting pressure on the Taiwan authorities and demanding that the Taiwan authorities restore democracy and freedom on the island, Japan will take the opportunity to take action.
What makes Li Cun uneasy is whether the authorities on the island will "fake the show."
It's incredible, but it's very likely to turn out to be true.
With the improvement of the economic situation, there have been subtle changes in the ideological concepts of the people on the island. When the people on the island no longer worry about work and life, they will naturally pay attention to higher-level things such as politics. This quiet change is bound to have a major impact on the situation on the island. In the 202 general election, the blue camp almost lost the election, mainly because the island's economy began to recover, and the "collapse" voters, who accounted for the vast majority, were very dissatisfied with some of the measures taken by the blue camp to stimulate the economic development during the economic crisis, and hoped to change the political atmosphere. With the general election approaching again, although the achievements of the blue camp in the island's economic exhibition are obvious to all, more and more voters hope to change their "taste". According to outside predictions, the chances of the blue camp winning the election again will not exceed 30%.
For the interests of political parties. It is very likely that the blue battalion will take the opportunity to hit the green battalion.
For this. Li Cunxun specifically found Wang Yuanqing.
After exchanging views with Yuan, Li Cunxun was slightly relieved.
No matter how the situation on the island goes. Even if the blue battalion takes the opportunity to deal with the green battalion. There are only good things for the mainland. It doesn't hurt.
Li Cunxun's "worries" and Wang Yuanqing's "predictions" soon became reality.
September 7. Wang Huanying, chairman of the Green Battalion, and Zhu Bochang, senior secretary of the Green Battalion, flew to Washington. Appeal to the U.S. government for help.
Although the relations between the Republic and the United States were on the verge of collapse due to the "independence" activities carried out by the Green Battalion during its administration, the United States was annoyed and angry, and acquiesced in the Republic's intelligence system to get rid of the outgoing "president" of the Green Battalion in Taiwan and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Green Battalion. But in the American mentality, there are only eternal interests and eternal enemies and friends. As the situation on the island has taken a turn for the worse, the United States has long become the "behind-the-scenes boss" of the green camp.
On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic expressed a strong protest.
In order to express his strong dissatisfaction with the United States, Yuan Qing not only summoned Chang Shuxin back from Jeju, but also asked Tao Jingyuan, who was negotiating with the United States in Geneva, to "stand still" and wait for specific instructions.
The initiatives of the republic had a great influence on the President of the United States.
Westwood has made a promise to reunite the captured officers and soldiers with their loved ones before Christmas. The Republic abruptly terminated the negotiations, and the American GIs had to wait another year before they could return home for Christmas. For Westwood, this is an unacceptable result, because next year is an election year!
Democrats in Congress don't want to lose the election next year.
In the end, Zhu Bochang was unable to receive any substantial "assistance" from the United States. After a week of heated debate, the US House of Representatives passed only one bill condemning the authorities on the island for undermining democracy and freedom.
Even so, Wang Yuanqing responded quickly.
Negotiations on the return of prisoners of war, which were originally scheduled to be completed in September, were postponed to early January and the U.S. losses inflicted on the Republic and North Korea during the Korean Peninsula War were reassessed.
On September 15, Zhu Bochang left Washington and flew directly to Tokyo.
He did not receive "assistance" from the United States, so he could only pin his hopes on Japan.
After receiving the news, Li Cunxun immediately rushed to Yuanfu.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come to the news." Wang Yuanqing invited Li Cunxun to sit down, "Zhu Bochang's flight will probably arrive in Tokyo tomorrow morning, what will Japan do?" ”
"Except for what has been announced, the rest is not clear." Li Cunxun sat down and lit a cigarette, "Although I didn't receive accurate information, I think this is the opportunity that Murakami is waiting for." ”
"Are you saying that Murakami will make a fuss about the situation on the island?"
Li Cunxun shook his head and said, "If this is the case, at most it shows that Japan is concerned about the island."
There is absolutely no need for us to worry. I think that Murakami is very open in the green camp. ”
Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "It seems that our judgment is basically the same. ”
Both have clear ideas, if the Japanese government does not green camp in any public way, it shows that Murakami Sadamasa is indeed ready to cause trouble in Taiwan. The solution is very simple, secretly the green camp, so that the green camp can believe that it can overthrow the blue camp government with Japan. Of course, there are different ways to "overthrow", which can be achieved through elections or other extreme means.
"What are we going to do now?" Li Cunxun took a few puffs of his cigarette and extinguished the cigarette butt.
"The key is whether Murakami will take extreme measures."
Li Cunxun frowned slightly. Judging from the current situation on the island, it is very likely that Murakami will not go to extremes. If I were Sadamasa Murakami, I would first observe the situation and make sure that the time is ripe before taking a crucial step. ”
"In other words, it is necessary to create a false impression that the time is ripe."
Li Cunxun hesitated slightly, and said, "Let us do it?" ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "Make arrangements as soon as possible, but don't rush into action." Let's first find out what the Japanese assurances Zhu Bochang received in Tokyo, and determine whether Murakami is prepared to play a key role in Taiwan, as we imagined. If so, I'll be visiting five South Asian countries in early October, and the MIA needs to be in South Asia before that to provide a good reason for us to shift our strategic focus. ”
"What should Taiwan do?" Li Xun lit a cigarette again.
Wang Yuanqing's meaning is very clear, as long as Murakami "crosses the line", the action will officially begin.
"You still have to make sure that Murakami is in the trap. As long as he thinks we're turning our attention to South Asia, the MIA will act in Taiwan as planned, silencing the guys who clamor every day forever. ”
"What about the leaders of the authorities on the island?"
"Take critical action at a critical moment to keep at least a few key leaders safe." Wang Yuanqing let out a long breath and said, "Like us, even if Murakami Sadamasa thinks that the time is ripe and is ready to take action, he will first create a reason for Japan to send troops to Taiwan." The best reason is not that there is unrest on the island, but that some madman has invited Japan. Don't forget, Japan has the Peripheral Situation Law. ”
Li Cunxun nodded and said, "I understand how to do it." ”
"Deploy as soon as possible." Wang Yuanqing seemed to let go of a heavy burden, "Remember to report the situation to me at any time, don't disclose the relevant actions to others for the time being, I will make the news at the appropriate time." ”
Li Cunxun didn't say anything and got up to say goodbye.
On the way back to the Military Intelligence Agency, Li Cunxun contacted Liu Xiaobin and asked him to contact intelligence officers who were operating in Japan.
It is clear that Wang Yuanqing has already made the final decision on whether to use Taiwan to declare war on Japan. All that remains is whether Japan will take the deadliest step.
has been "following" Murakami Zhenzheng for so many years, and Li Cunxun can be regarded as a "Murakami expert".
According to Li Cunxun's understanding of Murakami Sadamasa, on such a major issue, Murakami Sadamasa will definitely be extremely cautious. No matter what request Zhu Bochang makes to Japan in Tokyo, and no matter whether Murakami Sadamasa intends to take substantive action in Taiwan, he will not make a public statement, and at most he will only imply that Zhu Bochang will give it when necessary.
This "" may be both moral and practical.
The extent to which it will be will be determined not by Murakami's promises, nor will Murakami make clear promises, nor by the unfolding of the situation on the island, but by the actions of the republic.
Wang Yuanqing really had ulterior motives in visiting five South Asian countries at this time and asking the Military Intelligence Agency to take action in South Asia.
The question is, will Sadamasa Murakami be fooled?
Li Cunxun is not very sure, after all, avoiding war with the Republic is the fundamental purpose of Murakami's Sadasa. If Murakami believes that the republic is capable of acting in two directions, it is quite possible to abandon the operation in Taiwan.
Thinking of this, Li Cunxun also felt a little worried.
The overall plan was determined not by the Military Intelligence Agency, but by the Meta. Since Wang Yuanqing is sure that Murakami Sadamasa will fall into the trap, what else does the director of military intelligence need to worry about?
Back at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency, Li Cunxun found Liu Xiaobin.
"I've given the news to C03, but I'm not sure." Liu Xiaobin looked a little anxious, "Even if Murakami Sadamasa will meet with Zhu Bochang, he will not let 'Sunflower' attend." Only if he decides to take action, Murakami will let Sunflower intervene. When the time comes, I'm afraid we won't have time to make a deployment. In my opinion, the 'hotline' should be proactively contacted. ”
Li Cunxun frowned slightly, and said, "There is no need for this, just pay close attention to the situation on the island." ”
"You mean, judging by the actions of the Green Battalion?"
Li Cunxun nodded, indicating that this was exactly what he meant.
