Volume 7 The Smoke of Gunpowder on the Peninsula Chapter 24 Out of the Mountain
Ji Youguo not only does not look old, but is even much more energetic than a few years ago
No longer bothering about state affairs, Ji Youguo quit a lot of bad habits, lived a more regular life, and his body was naturally healthier......
In front of Ji Youguo, Wang Yuanqing had a lot of "rules".
"That is, ready to fight?"
Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "The central government has unified its opinion, and Lao Zhao has asked me to be specifically responsible." ”
"With your abilities, you are fully competent." Ji Youguo's attitude is very clear that he will not interfere in national affairs.
"Actually......" Wang Yuanqing was late for a moment and said, "I didn't come this time to ask about these questions, but to trouble Ji Lao with something." ”
Ji Youguo frowned and didn't ask what was the matter.
Wang Yuanqing was very clear about Ji Youguo's character and said: "When making a decision, I proposed to take this opportunity to peacefully reunify with Taiwan, and Lao Zhao affirmed my opinion. ”
"Peaceful reunification?" Ji Youguo's demeanor immediately changed.
I saw Ji Youguo speak. Wang Yuanqing knew that there was a play. Didn't say much.
"It seems. You've grown a lot. I also learned to fish my appetite. ”
Wang Yuanqing smiled. said: "It's not fishing appetite. I just don't dare to get an axe. ”
Ji Youguo smiled and shook his head. "How do you know I'm going to help?"
"The peaceful reunification of the motherland is the long-cherished wish of every descendant of Yan and Huang......"
"Come on. Here we go again. Ji Youguo sighed. Said. "You're right. Now is indeed the best time for peaceful reunification. Just can't rush it. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and put on a look of asking for advice.
"You've been with me for decades, you should know something." Ji Youguo picked up the teacup, pondered for a while, and said, "Before the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, I thought about reunification. At that time, it was impossible for us to unify the two sides of the Taiwan Strait by peaceful means, and the cost of war was very high, and it was the entire Chinese nation that suffered the losses. The Fourth Indo-Pakistani War made me abandon this idea for a number of reasons, some of which you know. The main reason is that the cost of war is too high, and we cannot play with the lives of our compatriots and the wealth of the entire Chinese nation. If the two sides of the Taiwan Strait can be peacefully reunified, we will not only be able to achieve a great national reunion, but will also be able to leave a more complete motherland to our children and grandchildren. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded, he knew all these thoughts of Ji Youguo.
As early as 2014, Ji Youguo asked Peng Maobang to formulate a relevant battle plan, preparing to launch a unified war when the time was ripe. The ensuing outbreak of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War completely disrupted Ji Youguo's deployment, and also allowed Ji Youguo to find another way to unify the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
The outcome of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War was not a complete one, but its impact was widespread.
As the first foreign war of the Republic since the end of the 20th century, the performance of the republican ** team on the battlefield can be described as "perfect". The powerful air strike capability and sea control combat capability gave a tremendous shock to the authorities on the island, and the direct result was a complete break between the blue and green battalions.
The Blue Camp has made frequent contacts with the mainland to promote the development of cross-strait relations.
In the wild green camp, he was forced to continue to hold high the banner of "**" and go farther and farther.
Political division will inevitably lead to social division.
The controversy over "reunification or independence" has intensified on the island, causing turmoil and turmoil on the island for a time.
The East China Sea War became a major turning point in the situation on the island.
The impact of the strong combat effectiveness of the republican ** team on the battlefield is not obvious to the people on the island, after all, the republican ** team had a similar performance not long ago. Japan's crushing defeats in two conflicts, the collapse of its financial system, domestic reports, the rise to power of a military junta, and the successful reconquest of the Diaoyu Islands have had an even more pronounced impact on the island's population.
The former has forced some reasonably sensible green camp people to reflect.
Having lost a small maritime conflict largely on naval and air forces, what qualifications does Japan have to confront the world's most powerful land forces? Without air and sea supremacy, Japan will not be able to project troops to Taiwan, so how can it "defend" Taiwan? With such a fragile domestic foundation that a skirmish can lead to civil strife, what can Japan do when something happens in Taiwan? The Law on Peripheral Events is undoubtedly a dead letter.
The latter has strengthened the position of the vast majority of people in the blue camp.
Nominally, the Diaoyu Islands belong to Taiwan's Pengjia County, which has long been recognized by the mainland. For decades, Taiwan's fishermen have been much more active than mainland fishermen. Although the authorities on the island have always stressed that Diaoyu Dao is an inalienable and sacred territory of "China", and the supreme leader of the island at that time participated in the operation to protect Diaoyu Dao when he was young, he never took substantive action, let alone sent troops to recover Diaoyu Dao like the mainland.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Youguo launched an aggressive operation against Taiwan before leaving office, which the West called a "fishing offensive."
The mainland still recognizes that Diaoyu Dao is under the jurisdiction of Taiwan's Pengjia County, and that it is only temporarily "under escrow." At the end of 201, Ji Youguo sent State Councilors to Taiwan secretly to negotiate with the Taiwan authorities on the issue of administrative jurisdiction over the Diaoyu Islands, in order to strive for Taiwan to take more proactive action on the issue of peaceful reunification. Although the covert contact did not yield much results, the impact was significant. Wang Yuanqing was personally in charge of the relevant work and knew that Ji Youguo had made a three-point commitment to the Taiwan authorities: First, to grant Taiwan a high degree of autonomy, and second, to ensure that the Taiwan authorities would receive it
The third is to follow the Hong Kong model and allow Taiwan to have its own voice in some countries. To this end, Ji Youguo put forward a "three-step plan": First, deepen cross-strait economic, cultural, tourism, and academic cooperation and exchanges, second, the two sides of the strait should unify their pace in the diplomatic field and speak with one voice, and finally, realize the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait on the basis of realizing common security and defense.
At this time, Ji Youguo clearly defined the basic principle of peaceful reunification between the two sides of the strait.
The global financial crisis, economic crisis, and the Great Depression broke out one after another, and in accordance with the policy of peaceful reunification that Ji Youguo had already formulated, Zhao Rundong quickened the pace of progress.
In the global trade war, the mainland did not impose punitive or discriminatory policies on a single Taiwanese product or a Taiwanese company.
Prior to this, the mainland was already Taiwan's largest trading partner. By 2022, when the Great Depression bottomed out, the mainland accounted for more than 75% of Taiwan's total trade. The mainland's "open-door policy" has enabled millions of Taiwan compatriots to keep their jobs and tens of thousands of Taiwan enterprises to avoid bankruptcy. According to the mainland's official statistics, from 2018 to 2022, in just 5 years, Taiwan's trade profits from the mainland are as high as one trillion New Taiwan dollars, which is equivalent to the mainland "subsidy" 10,000 New Taiwan dollars for every Taiwan compatriot!
Although the mainland's share of Taiwan's trade will decrease in 2023, the economies of the mainland and Taiwan have been closely linked, and no one or force can cut off cross-strait economic and trade exchanges. The die-hard elements of the green camp have to admit that the mainland has "kidnapped" Taiwan with its economy.
During this period, the Republican Army played a major role in the Laos War and the Vietnam War.
The South China Sea War regained the Nansha Islands and the territorial waters of the South China Sea in one fell swoop, greatly arousing the patriotic enthusiasm of the Taiwan people.
It's just that Zhao Rundong then focused on Northeast Asia, and his "enthusiasm" for Taiwan has decreased.
In this case, Ji Youguo, who "retired", took the initiative to take on the heavy responsibility.
Relatively speaking, Ji Youguo's status in the minds of Taiwan compatriots far exceeds that of Zhao Rundong. First, Ji Youguo was born as a civilian official, while Zhao Rundong was born as a soldier; Second, Ji Youguo took the initiative to improve relations with Taiwan, but Zhao Rundong did not say much; Third, Ji Youguo took the initiative to give up his "democratic" style of becoming head of state for the third time, which was more supported by Taiwan compatriots; Finally, Ji Youguo's open-minded attitude towards businessmen has benefited the Taiwan compatriots a lot.
In the past few years, Ji Youguo has used the most reasonable and appropriate way to promote the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait.
Pan Yunsheng proposed to invite Ji Youguo to go out of the mountain precisely for this reason.
"It seems that you don't want me to live a stable life." Ji Youguo broke the silence and said, "I have to think about this matter, after all, there are still many problems that have not been solved." ”
Wang Yuanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Ji Youguo said "consider", which was basically equivalent to agreeing.
"Of course, don't get your hopes up." Ji Youguo smiled reluctantly and said, "I know your thoughts very well, but there is one thing you haven't considered. ”
"What?" Wang Yuanqing frowned.
"Will taking the initiative to participate in the war on the peninsula have a negative impact on the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait?"
Wang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a look of great admiration.
"Don't look at me like that, I don't believe you didn't think of it, you deliberately didn't bring it up." Ji Youguo seems to have seen through Wang Yuanqing's thoughts, saying: "Actively participating in the war will be of great benefit to the settlement of the Korean Peninsula issue and the Japanese issue, but it will make the Taiwan authorities think that we are using this as a coercion and that we will not be able to talk about the war." ”
"I'll be careful."
"We have to be careful, and preferably have a sufficient casus belli to convince the world that we are forced to send troops to North Korea." Ji Youguo touched his chin and said, "Especially the propaganda work, it must be done in place, and there must be no sloppiness." ”
"I'm personally responsible for this."
Ji Youguo nodded and said, "Also, the government had better send someone over as soon as possible to communicate with Taiwan before sending troops." It doesn't have to be days, but it has to be hours. Only by adopting an open-minded and inclusive attitude can we make the Taiwan authorities feel that we are trustworthy brothers, and only then can we promote the peaceful reunification of the two sides of the strait. ”
Wang Yuanqing nodded and agreed.
"I'll think about the rest, and I'll call you when I think of it."
"Perhaps, we can let + Yanbo and others play a role and make full use of the power of the people."
"That's for sure, when the time comes, I will personally discuss with + Yanbo." Ji Youguo touched his chin again and said, "In other aspects, I believe in your ability." With Lao Zhao staring, and Lao Peng and Xiao Pan secretly helping, it is not my turn to worry. There is only one point, and I would like to remind you in particular, never underestimate any of the enemies. ”
Wang Yuanqing immediately nodded and said, "I will attach importance to any opponent, and I will never take it lightly." ”
Ji Youguo nodded and didn't say anything more.
Wang Yuanqing did not bother Ji Youguo again, and left Xiamen and returned to Beijing in the afternoon of the same day.
Damn it**
During the closure period, every half an hour, the flickering brothers went crazy together, so that everyone was happy!
