And the party lost the election, leaving Frederick not to do anything to the outside world

Although he will not leave office until January 2025, Frederick's main job after the election is to complete the transition of power with Democratic President-elect Westwood. In order to avoid drastic fluctuations in policy during the transition of power, not only Frederick has "reined in", but Congress will also leave some important matters to the next president.

The reality dictates that it will be difficult for the United States to make any major decisions before the president-elect is sworn in.

Japan has taken the initiative to show goodwill, hoping that the United States will build a bridge and actively promote the negotiations on the Dokdo issue between Japan and the ROK to ease the tense relations between Japan and the ROK.

Frederick's attitude was cold, and only the undersecretary of state for Asian affairs was sent to Seoul.

It's not that Frederick isn't enthusiastic, it's that Westwood's views on Asia-Pacific and Northeast Asia are the exact opposite of Frederick's. During the election campaign, Westwood promised voters that after being elected, he would not only withdraw all troops stationed in Iran during his term of office, but also try to improve relations with Asia-Pacific countries, including China, reduce military spending, and invest more money in social welfare, public health care, and economic construction.

Promoting reconciliation between Japan and South Korea is one of Westwood's core policies, and it is not Frederick's turn to "intervene".

Whether to intervene or not is still a trivial matter, and there is a very serious crisis hidden behind the reconciliation between Japan and South Korea. As long as Yanagi believes that the Dokdo issue can be resolved through negotiations with Japan, he will turn the finger on North Korea.

Japan's sudden concession after holding out for nearly three years must have been an attempt to take advantage of the Korean-Korean War to land on the Asian continent.

Will China sit idly by?

Idiots know. As long as Japan expands again. When the first Japanese army landed on the Korean Peninsula. China will wield the big stick in its hands. Teach Japan more and more arrogantly.

What should the United States do?

To enter the war was to shed blood for South Korea. Not entering the war can only make China or Japan sit on the throne.

Thinking of the bloody rain in the future. Frederick was very glad. Because whether the Republicans come to power or the Democrats enter the White House. are all in danger of a military conflict with China.

As a matter of fact. Frederick was also empty-minded.

It wasn't Frederick who lost the election. It's the governor of Wisconsin.

South Korea's attitude is very different from that of the United States.

On October 27, representatives of Japan and the ROK held the first formal meeting of the seventh round of negotiations on the Dokdo issue in Jeju, South Korea.

Because Japan announced in a "high-profile" manner on the 26th that it would do its best to resolve the Dokdo issue with South Korea, the meeting attracted great attention from the news media.

How much concessions will Japan make in the negotiations?

No one believes that Japan will spit out the fat that comes into their mouths. Both NN and Al Jazeera believe that given Japan's domestic situation, even if Murakami is willing to reconcile with South Korea and is influenced by military and civilian forces, Japan will not make substantial concessions on the Dokdo issue, and at most share the right to fish in the waters around Dokdo with South Korea. In this case, the South Korean government will not make any concessions on the Dokdo issue due to domestic pressure, and will raise the issue of sovereignty over Dokdo in addition to demanding fishing rights. Both television stations believe that although the talks will not achieve substantive results, they will be of great significance for improving relations between Japan and South Korea.

Japan and South Korea resumed negotiations, and the Republic and North Korea were the most affected.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic issued a statement on the morning of the 27th, expressing the hope that Japan and South Korea will resolve their disputes through peaceful negotiations and wishing the negotiations complete success.

Compared to the attitude of the republic, the DPRK reacted more "positively".

Although the Dokdo issue has little to do with North Korea, North Korea has always claimed that Dokdo is an inalienable part of North Korea. Since the first round of talks, North Korea has declared that it will not recognize any agreement between Japan and South Korea on sovereignty over Dokdo, accusing South Korea of betraying the interests of the entire nation.

In doing so, North Korea wants to use Japan to reduce military pressure. If Japan and South Korea "reconcile," North Korea will become the biggest "victim." As long as South Korea regards Japan as its primary enemy, North Korea's security will be guaranteed. After Liu Zongchun came to power, he even "high-profile" preached the importance of national reunification.

Indeed, as soon as the negotiations began, Liu Zongjun convened a high-level meeting of the government.

On the 28th, 10,000 South Korean troops and more than 12,000 U.S. troops held a joint combat exercise codenamed "2024 Season Training" in Gangwon Province (the same name as North Korea's Gangwon Province) south of the "38th Parallel" and Gyeonggi Province. Although the main subject of the exercise was "joint combat operations of the ROK and US forces in the event of a surprise attack," the initiative and large-scale counterattack ran through the entire exercise, and what was really tested was the ROK's ability to launch a large-scale offensive with limited support from the US military.

This exercise has once again heated up the situation on the peninsula.

On the afternoon of 28 July, more than 300,000 DPRK troops deployed near the "38th parallel" entered a state of readiness, and more than 10,000 DPRK troops stationed in the in-depth defense zone left their camps and assembled at the front line.

Although no one thought that war would break out immediately, no one could deny the possibility of a misfire.

, a fortuitous incident almost triggered the Peninsular War.

When the ROK army's long-range artillery unit was firing live ammunition, because the guide was "negligent" and reported the wrong target location data, one large-caliber artillery shell fell north of the center line of the military isolation zone, almost hitting a North Korean army patrolling the isolation area.

After the incident, the North Korean army only fired warning shots and did not take the initiative to counterattack.

The "mistake" of the South Korean army was too blatant, and the shells deviated thousands of meters from the target, obviously testing the reaction of the DPRK.

After receiving the news, Li Cunxun immediately made a report to the head of state and deputy head of state. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also soon sent news that the DPRK foreign minister had summoned the ambassador of the Republic to the DPRK and Kim Chol-nam had convened an emergency meeting at the headquarters of the armed forces.

"North Korea's response has been very mild compared to the past." Li Cunxun sighed secretly and said, "North Korea took the initiative to summon our ambassador, and obviously did not make a war decision. As long as we stabilize our breath and do not allow the DPRK to expand the conflict, the situation will calm down. After testing North Korea's reaction with a slap in the face, South Korea will not continue to expand the conflict. ”

"Why?" Zhao Rundong asked very directly.

"South Korea is not ready to attack." Li Cunxun replied very briskly, "The South Korean army has not adjusted its deployment, and the front-line troops are on the defensive; Until the Japanese threat is eliminated, Yanagi has no reason to initiate war on his own initiative; The United States is in the midst of a change of regime, and even if Yanagi does not intend to rely on the support of the U.S. military, he will not take action until the U.S. makes a clear statement. The key remains Japan, and until Japan makes substantial concessions, there is no reason for Yanagi to point the finger at the north. ”

Zhao Rundong nodded slightly and said, "South Korea's tentative action shows that Liu Zongchun is already preparing for going north. ”

"That's for sure." Li Cunxun let out a sigh and said, "It can be inferred from this that Japan has made major concessions at the negotiating table, and all that is missing is the signing of relevant agreements." ”

"If Japan is intent on pushing for war, the negotiations will end soon."

Li Cunxun nodded at Wang Yuanqing, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"That is, war will break out very quickly." Zhao Rundong smiled bitterly, "Now it's not us pushing for war, it's Japan actively promoting war." ”

"Lao Zhao, we have to be prepared."

Zhao Rundong nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "Prepare immediately, but don't be too obvious, so as not to make people think that we are provoking a war." Xiao Wang, you are responsible for the specific matters, not a major strategic decision, you don't need to ask for my opinion, you just have an idea. ”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly.

"The doctor examined me yesterday." Zhao Rundong sighed, "There hasn't been much improvement, let me rest more." ”

"This ......" Wang Yuanqing did not hesitate any longer, "It's okay, I will be in charge of the specific affairs, and I will ask the head of state for instructions on major decisions." ”

Zhao Rundong smiled and didn't say much.

Wang Yuanqing and Li Cunxun knew that the head of state was tired, so they immediately got up and said goodbye.

When leaving the Fuhrer's Mansion, Wang Yuanqing let Li Cunxun get into his car.

"Someone got it back?"

Li Cunxun was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said, "I just received it in the afternoon, and I am personally in charge of the interrogation." ”

"Don't be soft, the sooner we get the results, the better it will be for us." Wang Yuanqing sighed, "There will be a war within the year, we can't afford to wait." ”

"Within the year?" Li Cunxun frowned slightly.

"Murakami Sadamasa and Yanagi Sojun are not only not stupid, but also very smart." Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and said, "After Westwood takes office, he will definitely adjust the policy of the United States, and he will not necessarily shed blood for South Korea." As long as Murakami Sadamasa and Yanagi Sojun are determined to start a war, they will definitely do it before Westwood takes office and drag the United States into the war. When the time comes, it will be difficult for the United States to ride the tiger, and it will not be so easy to get out. ”

Li Cunxun nodded and said, "Therefore, South Korea will use the opportunity of the exercise to test North Korea." ”

"It's a pity that Kim Zhe-nan is a bad breed." Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head, "If he has the courage of his son and his grandfather, maybe it can be delayed until next year." As soon as North Korea is soft, Liu Zongchun will be more confident in his heart, and Murakami Sadamasa will be more active. Not to mention that we are secretly deploying, even if we show our attitude, I am afraid it will not help. ”

"We still have a lot of work to do."

"So try to hurry." Wang Yuanqing glanced at Li Cunxun, "The duties of the Military Intelligence Bureau are very important, do you have confidence?" ”

"Faith?" Li Cunxun smiled and said, "Without confidence, I won't be in this business." ”

Wang Yuanqing also laughed, among the people he came into contact with, only intelligence officers did not have confidence problems.

After breaking up with Wang Yuanqing, Li Cunxun did not return to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency, but went to an interrogation center in the suburbs. Because there were many people at the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Li Cunxun arranged for the interrogation work to be in other locations.

Damn it**
