Chapter XXVII: Strategic Encirclement and Suppression

When Xiaobin rushed over, Li Cunxun was preparing for a day's work. 【Reading.com】

"Didn't go back to sleep last night?"

"I'm dealing with a couple of technical issues, and I don't have time to rest." Liu Xiaobin handed Li Cunxun the portable reader that stored the intelligence, "I just received the news that Murakami Sadamasa ordered the National Security Agency to carry out secret activities in Taiwan, and all the units and personal information involved in the operation. 'Sunflower' got it, very comprehensive. ”

Li Cunxun frowned slightly, put the reader on the shelf of the desk, and tore open the wrapping paper from earlier.

Liu Xiaobin sat down on the chair opposite Li Cunxun and picked up the cigarette on the desk.

"Have you had breakfast?"

"I ate supper in the early morning, and I'm not hungry."

Li Cunxun nodded, and used the time to eat to read the information.

Waiting for Li Cunxun to throw away the early wrapping paper and wipe his mouth, Liu Xiaobin handed over a cigarette. Anyway, it's Li Cunxun's cigarettes, and he doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket.

"There was no mention of when action would be taken, just deployment."

"It's really just a pre-deployment process. However, it was mentioned in the report sent back. After the deployment is complete. Murakami could get the NSA to act at any time. ”

Li Cunxun lit a cigarette. Took several puffs on the chair. "We don't need to make a fuss. Sadamasa Murakami is doing preventive work. It's very likely that they are testing our subterranean depths. Or it's a test of the American underground. I want to find out if we and the United States are acting on Taiwan. ”

"It's possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that Murakami is taking risks. ”

Li Cunxun nodded. "What do you think we should do?" ”

"Action to action, deployment to deployment. Neither actively provoke conflicts. It's not too forbearing. ”

Li Cunxun thought for a while and said, "Yes." Deploy our field operatives as soon as possible and be ready. If Japan acts in Taiwan. We also take action. But don't exacerbate the contradictions. It's not time for us to come forward yet. ”

"Do you need to report to the Führer?"

"There's no need for that just yet." Li Cunxun shook his head and said, "Japan has not taken substantive action, and there is no need for us to make a fuss. ”

Liu Xiaobin didn't say anything more, and left the director's office while Li Cunxun was dealing with his daily work.

Li Cunxun had the most contact with Wang Yuanqing and knew the Führer's thoughts best. The relationship between the Republic and Japan is very delicate, and at this moment, the slightest disturbance could cause the situation to spiral out of control and develop out of control. Li Cunxun is not against dealing with Japan, but he just feels that there is no need to be overly nervous. The favorable conditions are in the hands of the Republic, and it is only a matter of time and means to deal with Japan.

On July 1, the Republic, North Korea, the United States and Japan announced that they would hold a sixth round of negotiations as soon as possible.

It seems that the predictions of the Western media have once again come true, and the Republic will not risk going to war with Japan alone in the absence of a clear timetable for the immediate destruction of nuclear weapons and the renunciation of the right to develop nuclear weapons by the United States, hoping to use a tough attitude to force Japan to make significant concessions in the "quadripartite talks".

Not many are optimistic about whether the negotiations will be successful.

Japan will not give up its nuclear weapons, and Japan will not tolerate Japan's possession of nuclear weapons.

According to speculation in the Western media, the negotiations will continue for years, even decades, like the North Korean nuclear talks. In the end, the stationing of troops on the Korean Peninsula and Jeju Island became a fait accompli, as did Japan's possession of nuclear weapons. After Japan has the strength to completely destroy the republic, the republics will maintain a military threat to Japan in the form of forward deployment to block the pace of Japan's westward advance. In the absence of an absolute guarantee of its own security, Japan will not rashly confront the Republic and will seek breakthroughs in other directions. Eventually, the Republic and Japan formed a "balance of destruction," and neither side could afford the ravages of war. After the hope of westward expansion, Japan will be forced to move south and eastward, the United States will become Japan's competitor, and the western Pacific region will eventually form a three-legged situation.

The analysis of the Western media is not unreasonable, but it ignores several very important factors.

The prerequisite for Japan's expansion is to land on the Asian continent, or the first step in Japan's expansion is to land on the Asian continent. In the absence of access to mainland resources, Japan, which is completely dependent on imports of raw materials, is not qualified to become a world power on an equal footing with the Republic and the United States. If Japan chooses to move south or east before moving westward, it will be hostile to the United States without strategic depth and resources, and will be encircled and suppressed by the United States and the Republic.

Would Japan do such a stupid thing?

Japan had no choice and had to defeat the Republic to the west before challenging the United States. The republic has no choice, and even if it becomes a world power, the republic still has to make the security of its neighborhood a national priority. Therefore, the contradictions between the Republic and Japan are irreconcilable, and even if Japan makes appropriate concessions in the negotiations, the Republic will not relax its vigilance against Japan, and Japan will not take the initiative to improve relations with the Republic.

Soon, this situation arose.

On July 17, the sixth round of the "Quadripartite Talks" was held in Jeju

On the same day, Premier Jong Ying-in of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, together with nine ministerial-level officials, including Defense Minister Ye Zhisheng and Foreign Minister Yan Shanglong, and representatives of more than 30 companies visited Seoul (on December 12, 2025, the Democratic Republic of Korea was officially proclaimed, and Seoul was renamed Seoul).

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China has claimed that Prime Minister Jong Ying-in is paying a return visit to the DPRK at the invitation of the DPRK Prime Minister during his visit to China last year, according to outside speculation, Jong Ying-in will reach a package agreement with the DPRK Government during his visit to Seoul, including an agreement of intent to lease a military base, so as to lay the foundation for the legalization of the Republic's military stationing in the DPRK, the promotion of bilateral exchanges between the two countries, and the economic development of the DPRK.

Because of Jong Young-in's visit to North Korea, the first meeting, which was originally scheduled to take place for one week, took place.

On July 23, three days after the conclusion of the first talks of the sixth negotiation, the Republic and the DPRK signed dozens of cooperation agreements in Seoul.

As has been speculated, the Lend-Lease agreement for military bases has become the main event.

According to the agreement of intent signed by the two sides (because the "four-party talks" set the stationing of the republic's troops on the peninsula and Jeju Island as the main content, and the republic promised not to rent military bases in the DPRK during the negotiations, the two sides signed an agreement of intent, not a formal agreement), the DPRK will Wonsan Port (about 25 square kilometers in total between the port area and the airport), Busan Port (about 30 square kilometers in total between the port area, the airport, and the barracks), and the Incheon Port (about 30 square kilometers in the port area, the airport, the barracks, and the reservoir area). Jeju (about 70 square kilometers in total between the new port area and the suburbs) was "loaned" to the Republic, which was responsible for the control and related construction. Since the Republic was not required to pay to the DPRK, it did not constitute a condition of Lend-Lease.

The Western news media focused not on military bases, but on the "land exchange agreement" between the republic and the DPRK.

Surprisingly, the media in Heguo did not report on the matter in detail.

According to the agreement signed between Jong Ying-in and the DPRK Prime Minister, the Republic exchanged the land of the Zao-ri area east of the Zasan Bay at the mouth of the Tumen River in North Korea for the land in the area of Xisu-riri.

Although the two plots of land together are less than 200 square kilometers, the significance is extraordinary.

After acquiring land at the mouth of the Tumen River, the Republic became a coastal state in the Sea of Japan (known as the East China Sea in Korea), and as a result, it not only gained about 2,500 square kilometers of maritime territory (about 300 square kilometers of maritime territory was lost in the Yellow Sea) and gained access to the sea in the Sea of Japan, but also could exert pressure on Japan as a "coastal state in the Sea of Japan." On the military side, the republic received a reason for the deployment of a permanent fleet in the Sea of Japan.

Japan is not the only one that has been affected.

On July 23, Wang Yuanqing had a hotline call with Russian President Nev.

According to a report by Russian television, Wang Yuanqing promised not to target Russia, and that the republic and Russia are friendly neighbors that can stand the test and have friends with common interests, and that the republic will not make any moves that harm Russia's interests and will not pose any threat to Russia.

On July 27, Xiang Linghui took the opportunity of the "SCO Peace 2027 ~ Joint Military Exercise" to meet with the Chief of the Russian General Staff Zolinsky in Komsomolsk. In addition to discussing the arrangements for the joint military exercises, Xiang Linghui and Zhuolinsky discussed issues related to promoting mutual trust between the two countries and deepening exchanges between the two militaries.

A few days later, the Republic and Russia reached an "agreement on advance notification of relevant military deployments".

In accordance with this agreement, when conducting military deployments related to the defense and security of the other side, the relevant situation will be notified 24~hours in advance.

This round of diplomatic action by the Republic is regarded by the outside world as a key step in the "strategic encirclement and suppression of Japan."

Western news media all believe that the Republic will establish a naval base on the land acquired at the mouth of the Tumen River, deploy a permanent fleet, force Japan to deploy more warships in the Sea of Japan, and weaken the combat capability of the Japanese Navy.

Is the republic ready for war against Japan?

There are more and more signs that the republic is indeed preparing for war, and the pace of strategic encirclement and suppression against Japan is getting faster and faster.

For a time, the trend of public opinion changed again, and war once again became the "mantra" of the news media.

Surprisingly, the Republic did not make any substantive moves on the issue of sending a permanent fleet to the Sea of Japan, nor did Japan overreact to the issue of the Republic becoming a coastal state in the Sea of Japan.

The calmer it is, the easier it is to provoke war.

If there is a diplomatic dispute between the Republic and Japan, it indicates that both sides want to resolve the issue through diplomacy. When both sides put diplomacy aside, war becomes the only means of resolving contradictions.

Perhaps, the "Quadripartite Talks" were just a means for the Republic and Japan to buy time to prepare for war.

On August 8, when the world was concerned about whether the "Quadripartite Talks" could achieve substantive results, the week-long "2027 Electronics Industry Expo" opened in Taipei.

Wang Yuanshan, who has long become a global celebrity, once again threw a "bomb" at a press conference held on the same day.

The struggle in the mall is more intense than the fight at the negotiating table!
