Seeing Li Cunxun and Liu Xiaobin in the lounge, Wang Yuanqing looked behind him. 【】

At the beginning of the meeting, Peng Maobang did not say a word, which was very abnormal; Li Cunxun did not attend the meeting, which was also very abnormal; There must be something very significant.

Seeing this battle, Wang Yuanqing didn't need to guess to know the reason why Zhao Rundong left him behind.

"Xiao Li, tell me about the situation."

Li Cunxun nodded, and when Liu Xiaobin handed a document to Wang Yuanqing, he said: "I have received news that Leslie and Murakami Sadamasa discussed the matter of Japan's sending troops, but Murakami Sadamasa did not give a positive answer. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly, and opened the document in his hand, which was now the "Report on Japan's Nuclear Forces."

"In other words, Japan has not yet made a decision to send troops to Korea?"

"So to speak." Li Cunxun picked up his cigarette and said, "According to the information we have obtained, Leslie has not come up with many chips that can impress Japan. As things stand, as long as Westwood does not relent, it is unlikely that the U.S. government will make much concessions on Japan's dispatch of troops to Korea. ”

"Maybe the problem should be looked the other way around."

Zhao Rundong and Li Cunxun both frowned and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"The withdrawal of US troops is a matter of time. Whether it's Frederick or Westwood. None of them have much hope for South Korea. It is not expected that the South Korean army will be able to hold the 38th parallel. Fight a war of attrition with us. Wang Yuanqing paused slightly. Said. "The United States has committed more than 100,000 ground troops. Great efforts have been made. Shows that Westwood wants to drag us down through the Korean War. It's just that the result is exactly the opposite of what Westwood expected. Not only did the U.S. military fail to complete its combat mission. And at a terrible price. If the war ends at this time. The U.S. has lost much more land than we do; If because of the withdrawal of US troops. South Korea was quickly defeated. The United States will lose even more. Westwood had no choice. You can only drag Japan into the water as much as possible. I think. Before the withdrawal of US troops from the Korean Peninsula. The United States would use all sorts of means to get Japan into the war. ”

Zhao Rundong nodded slightly. affirmed Wang Yuanqing's analysis.

"Look at it from another angle. Even if the United States does not give Japan any benefits. Sending troops to the Korean Peninsula is the best way for Japan to realize its dream of becoming a great power. Catch the cigarette handed by Li Cunxun. Wang Yuanqing said. "The Sino-Japanese War. The lack of land is only a fitting reason. Even if the war on the peninsula did not break out. We will also look for opportunities to disarm the threats around us. Murakami is Japan's most powerful politician in recent years. It's impossible not to see it. Instead of using the less powerful navy and air force to fight another war-like conflict with us in the East China Sea. It is better to take advantage of the huge population base and have a good fight with us on the Korean Peninsula. Won. All countries will recognize Japan's status as a great power. Even if you lose. Our national strength will also be depleted. It cannot pose a threat to Japan in the short term. ”

"The question is. Why didn't Murakami say yes? Peng Maobang asked.

Wang Yuanqing smiled. looked at Zhao Rundong.

"Murakami is worried about only one thing." Zhao Rundong didn't play Tai Chi anymore and said, "After Japan entered the war, the war on the peninsula turned into a full-scale war between China and Japan. ”

Peng Maobang frowned slightly.

Zhao Rundong smiled faintly and left the latter words to Wang Yuanqing.

"From the very beginning, we were in a position to fight a large-scale regional war. Although it would be very costly to defeat Japan with our local strength and the combat effectiveness of our army, the war would quickly spiral out of control with the landing of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula. At that time, even if we do not take the initiative to provoke an all-out war, the generals of the Japanese 'military department' will move in the direction of all-out war. In wartime, Murakami's restraint on the Japanese army was reduced to a minimum, and it was difficult to control the generals of the 'military department'. Moreover, after Japan enters the war, we will certainly strike at Japan's local military targets, at least bombing Japan's ground air bases when the ground forces advance to the south of the Korean Peninsula. In this way, we will inevitably destroy Japan's surface nuclear submarines first, eliminating the biggest potential threat. What kind of consequences will be, ordinary people can imagine. ”

Wang Yuanqing didn't say it explicitly, and he didn't need to say it explicitly.

As long as the Republic sinks 2 Japanese nuclear submarines, the Japanese militarist "beast" will be completely out of control. When the time comes, don't talk about Murakami Sadamasa, no one will be able to control Japan. The war will break out in full swing, and the Republic will destroy Japan's nuclear strike capability and even all of Japan's nuclear power plants at the first opportunity. Even if the Republic does not send troops to land on the Japanese mainland, Japan will become hell.

"So, Murakami Sadamasa doesn't plan to send troops?" Peng Maobang asked again.

"It's up to us to act." Wang Yuanqing paused a little and said, "Murakami's situation is very complicated, if you don't participate in the war, you will be pressured by the army, and if you participate in the war, you will bear even more pressure. In fact, our situation is also complicated. Nothing else, what should we do if Japan enters the war? ”

Peng Maobang didn't understand at all. "You mean ......"

"What Xiao Wang means is that we cannot afford the high cost of a full-scale war with Japan

Dong sighed and said, "This is indeed a very serious question:
