Volume 8 A Hundred Years of Grudges Chapter 42 Follow the Flow

On the 19th of the month, 22:30 Beijing time. 【】

After receiving Cai Zhongkai's call, Guo Ming pushed off the evening work meeting and instructed the secretary to wait for Cai Zhongkai outside the gate of the "Presidential Palace" and not let anyone else in. Guo Ming knew that Cai Zhongkai would not call for no reason, let alone visit in the middle of the night.

Although Guo Ming's reputation is not loud, and not many people even know about his existence, Guo Ming is not a puppet at the mercy of others to become the "president" of the Republic of China.

The times create heroes, and heroes create the times.

After the ups and downs of the 90s of the 20th century and the first few years of the 211th century, with the blue camp defeating the green camp in the 200 general election and taking power again, the relationship between the Taiwan Strait has undergone earth-shaking changes. To be precise, it was not the Blue Camp administration that changed the relations in the Taiwan Strait, but the global financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States at the end of 2008 that changed the relations between the Taiwan Strait. I think that it was the founder of the blue camp that caused the deterioration of relations in the Taiwan Strait, the transformation of the DPP from a small party with an unknown name into a ruling party, and the polarization of the political situation on the island.

As a "region" with a population of only 200,000,000, Taiwan's fate has never been decided by those in power.

In the 50s of the 20th century, if it were not for the outbreak of the Seventh Fleet in the United States and the dispatch of the Seventh Fleet into the Taiwan Strait, there would have been no cross-strait problems at all, and the ****** regime that had been driven to Taiwan would have disappeared long ago.

The United States can save Taiwan, but it can also destroy Taiwan.

After the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the United States needs to work with the Republic to deal with the financial crisis. The Democratic Party president, who came to power, not only did not criticize the Republic on issues such as "democracy" and "human rights" as in the past, but also made the greatest concessions on the Taiwan Strait issue, such as canceling the sale of F-16CDD fighter jets to Taiwan. Affected by the financial crisis, ****** newly seized power did its best to ease cross-strait relations, hoping to overcome difficulties with the help of the mainland.

At the end of the financial crisis, cross-strait relations not only eased up considerably, but also made great progress in the economic and trade fields.

Economic orientation can not only influence political direction. It can also influence people's attitudes.

By the time Guo Ming was elected as the "general" place. There is no suspense about the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait. What is unresolved is just a uniform time and a uniform manner. In line with the development of the tide, Guo Ming also adopted positive and effective measures on the cross-strait issue. Not only in informal settings with mainland leaders: Shortly after Wang Yuanqing came to power, he put forward several key conditions for the realization of peaceful reunification to the mainland government. For example, the mainland has carried out political system reform.

Regardless of whether Guo Ming has the ability or not. He is not bad at seeing.

The mainland dares to call out to the United States on the battlefield on the peninsula. There will certainly be no concessions on the issue of national unity. The mainland army was able to defeat the American army. It is certainly capable of defeating the Taiwanese army. The extreme route of Green Camp will definitely not work. As long as the mainland is determined to complete reunification. Taiwan has no choice. Even if the strategy of "rejecting reunification" is aimed at maintaining the status quo, it will be difficult to continue, and the Taiwan authorities will still refuse to hold reunification talks. Sooner or later, the mainland will be forced to take extreme measures. According to folk sayings. The year 2049 will be the deadline for resolving the cross-strait issue. If peaceful reunification cannot be achieved before then. The mainland has sufficient capacity to accomplish reunification in other ways.

With one opponent after another falling. Will the mainland extend the deadline for completing reunification until 2049?

Guo Ming will not have any illusions. As a politician. Nor can there be any illusions.

Maybe Ji Youguo has enough patience and Rundong has enough patience, but whether Wang Yuanqing, who grew up after the reform and opening up, has enough patience, I'm afraid no one can say.

After the Continental Army Intelligence Bureau took the initiative to meet with the leaders of the community on the island, Guo Ming realized that Wang Yuanqing was taking action.

As a relatively closed island, the community organizations of Social Bay have a very large influence. Not to mention anything else, every time the general election is a blue camp or a green camp, it will take the initiative to improve relations with the community and use the community to canvass votes. In the same way, after coming to power, regardless of whether it is a blue camp or a green camp, it will give some reward to the community provided, such as helping to fight against hostile community organizations.

Guo Ming will not ignore the influence of the association, let alone the signals sent by the mainland government.

For the next 1 day, Guo Ming took action using the information provided by Cai Zhongkai. Although Guo Ming did not give up his efforts to contend with the mainland, he also did not intend to go against the mainland. After weighing the priorities thoroughly, Guo Ming adopted an ambiguous strategy.

Attacking the strength of the green camp community and dealing with the green camp, no matter how you look at it, is beneficial and harmless to Guo Ming.

If the mainland wants to achieve reunification as soon as possible, and Taiwan cannot resist, Guo Ming can leave a good impression on the mainland regime by attacking the green camp, so as to gain a dominant position in Taiwan after reunification and safeguard his own interests and those of the blue camp. If the mainland does not intend to achieve reunification as soon as possible, it will lay the groundwork for next year's general election by cracking down on the green camp forces and strive for re-election. Although the politically inclined "law and order operation" will cause some voters to turn to the green camp

Guo Ming does not think that the blue camp will lose the election because of this. As long as the millions of votes that control the community will go to the blue camp, plus the millions of votes controlled by Taiwanese businessmen with close ties to the mainland, the blue camp has a good chance of winning the general election.

For Guo Ming, who is struggling to survive in the slits, currying favor with the mainland is the most ideal choice.

With the tense situation in South Asia, Guo Ming is not only dizzy, but also unclear what the mainland wants to do. If the mainland's goal is to achieve cross-strait reunification, why is it acting so extreme in its South Asia policy, and even posing a posture of joining hands with Pakistan to deal with India?

Could it be that the mainland is ready to use Taiwan as a cover and send troops to recover southern Tibet?

The more complicated the situation, the more cautious Guo Ming became.

For him, there is already room for turning back. With the Green Battalion shouting "political persecution" and sending Zhu Bochang to Washington and Tokyo to ask for help, Guo Ming had to beware of the Green Battalion taking extreme actions under extreme circumstances, whether he continued to advance or immediately turned around.

To this end, Guo Ming began to "clean up" the army;

In the year of the Green Battalion's administration, thousands of generals were promoted. Although the two "presidents" of the Blue Battalion in front of Guo Ming have made great efforts to straighten out the army and eradicate a large number of generals who have defected to the Green Battalion, the nature of Taiwan's armed forces has changed, and they no longer work for a certain party, and the composition of the generals is also very complicated.

In any case, Guo Ming must master the army well to ensure his own safety.

Guo Ming was a little shocked by the results of the "cleanup", and Wang Huanying, the leader of the green battalion, had already made secret contact with the generals. Although there is no evidence that the army is planning a military coup, Guo Ming had to be wary and had to let the generals who had contact with Wang Huanying "go to class".

The situation has reached this point, and Guo Ming has no chance to turn back.

It can be said that the "social struggle" on the island has evolved into a "political struggle." If Guo Ming does not take the opportunity to eradicate the forces of the green camp, he will definitely be wiped out by the green camp. The reverse is also true, the Green Battalion must fight hard, otherwise it will definitely be completely wiped out by the Blue Battalion. There is no mercy in political struggle, and the king is victorious, and the loser is cole!

When waiting for Cai Zhongkai, Guo Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly.

In the face of the mainland regime, which has already gained the status of a world power, Taiwan does not even have a chance to "rebel." The mainland has not used a single soldier and can easily bring down the political power on the island by simply taking advantage of its economic ties with the forces on the island over the past few years to let the major forces on the island fight each other. Under such circumstances, let alone Guo Ming, no one living in Taipei's "presidential palace" can change Taiwan's ultimate destination.

In the final analysis, Taiwan was defeated by the mainland's "sugar-coated shells."

If there were no economic exchanges that have been going on for decades, if there had not been thousands of Taiwan businessmen transferring assets to the mainland, and if there had not been an unswerving policy of peaceful reunification, how could the mainland have brought about a change in the political situation on the island? Almost all of the changes have occurred in the last 20 years. In the past 20 years, not only has the mainland possessed one of the world's best national strength and gained the status of being equal to the United States, but Taiwan has also been reduced to an economic dependency of the mainland.

Those who know the times are Junjie.

Those who follow the path prosper, and those who go against the path perish.

Cross-strait reunification is not only an inevitable condition for the rise of the Chinese nation, but also the ultimate destination of the 200 Taiwan people. No matter what choice the incumbent leaders make, it is impossible to fundamentally sever the ethnic relations between the two sides of the strait, where blood is thicker than water, and still less can they cut off the blood of compatriots in their bones.

While sighing, Guo Ming couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

At least he was not the leader of the Green Battalion and did not adopt a strategy that ran counter to peaceful reunification.

When the secretary came in to inform Cai Zhongkai of his arrival, Guo Ming put away his ups and downs. There is no doubt that Cai Zhongkai brought very important news and decisive advice.

asked the secretary to prepare tea and snacks, and Guo Ming personally went to the door to greet Cai Zhongkai.

When he saw the most influential community leader in Taiwan, Guo Ming was secretly surprised, because it was not only Cai Zhongkai who came, but also Cheng Ajiu and Lan Hongbo, as well as a young man who Guo Ming was not familiar with. Seeing the attitude of Cai Zhongkai and others towards the young man, Guo Ming vaguely felt that this person's identity was extraordinary.

After entering the study, Guo Ming once again instructed the secretary not to let anyone come in and disturb him.

After the host sat down, Guo Ming looked at the young man again. Medium in stature, with an average appearance, without anything that stands out. Before Cai Zhongkai's introduction, Guo Ming had already guessed that this uninvited young man must be an official sent by the mainland, at least an intelligence officer of the mainland's intelligence agency.

This guess made Guo Ming nervous suddenly.

Although mainland intelligence agencies have always regarded Taiwan as a key area of activity, no intelligence officer has ever visited the "presidential palace."

Tsai Zhongkai's introduction of mainland intelligence agents to Taiwan's "president" is of extraordinary significance!
