Chapter Twenty-Four: Confusion
The twenty-fourth chapter of the eight hundred years of grievances in the national policy volume is confusing
IA Director's analysis of the situation in East Asia. [No pop-up novel network] has had a very loud impact on the President of the United States.
From 711 to 122, three major events occurred in a row.
Beijing time at 18:30 on the 11th. The first formal consultations of the Eleventh Conference of the Third Round of Negotiations on the Return of Prisoners of War in the Semi-War ended in Geneva, Switzerland (at 11:30 Geneva time). Chief negotiator of the United States, Copperfield, and Tao Jingyuan, chief negotiator of the Republic, said in a joint interview with reporters. A major consensus has been reached. It is expected that an agreement on the return of prisoners of war will be reached within the year.
As soon as the news came out. Suddenly it was a major news story that the Western news media rushed to report. After interviewing Copperfield and Tao Jingyuan, the reporter said a sentence: The words of the negotiators on both sides means. Tens of thousands of beautiful people can spend this Christmas with their families.
After 2 hours. At 7:30 a.m. on the 11th, U.S. Department time, a State Department spokesperson issued a statement. The federal government will spend tens of billions of dollars. Let those who make a significant contribution to the country on the battlefield. The soldiers who have been imprisoned so far have returned home. Reunite with loved ones. This statement more or less revealed the specifics of the negotiations.
However, the Republic and the United States have been silent about the "consensus" reached. Even the supernatural ones have not been able to extract information from the mouths of US officials. But according to outside speculation. It is possible that the United States will make significant concessions on key issues. Recognition of the Peninsular War during the Omit of Korea. The return of prisoners of war in the form of war compensation was a breakthrough between the two sides after more than two years of fighting without warning.
A wave has not settled. Wave after wave
At 12:30 Beijing time on the 12th. The new media is still discussing how much "ransom" the United States will pay to more than 4 captured officers and soldiers. The 14th meeting of the fifth round of the Quadripartite Talks concluded in Jeju. U.S. chief negotiator O'Neill revealed at a subsequent press conference. The United States will do its utmost to broker a package agreement between China and Japan on the "nuclear issue." Ease tensions in East Asia.
Just before the outside world understood the meaning of Neil's words. Chang Shuxin, the chief negotiator of the Republic, mentioned in response to a reporter's question. The peace country will not make any compromises on the Japanese nuclear issue. The Republic will not consider only the need to negotiate a solution to Japan's nuclear issue. The Republic will take concrete actions to eliminate the threat of
Japan's chief negotiator, Tamu, did not speak to reporters. I hurried back to Tokyo.
Choe Yong-sung, North Korea's chief negotiator, mentioned in response to a reporter's question. A nuclear-armed Japan is the greatest threat to East Asia, the Pacific and the world. It is also the biggest threat to North Korea. The DPRK will do its utmost to support the Republic's propositions and actions on the Japanese nuclear issue.
It was only then that the Western news media reacted.
The republic definitely threw a "bombshell" at the negotiating table. He even threatened to wage war against Japan in the event of inconclusive negotiations.
Word spreads. Television stations, websites, and newspapers around the world have made key reports.
Follow the comments. If the "Sixth Round of Talks" is not held in time | It means that China and Japan have made a complete break with the nuclear issue. War will break out soon.
Even the relatively optimistic news media agrees. The Japanese nuclear issue has reached a point where it must be resolved.
The situation in East Asia has suddenly become tense. It seems that war is coming.
Beijing time: 1222, 30. Shetsfield, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for Asia-Pacific affairs (the Republic's equivalent of deputy foreign minister or director of a regional department), arrived in Taipei. Conduct an unofficial "visit" to the bay as a business person.
Fifteen minutes later, Lei Xiaotian, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic, held a press conference. Strongly protest against the "visit to Taiwan" by US officials.
Although only the Assistant Secretary of State. But Sheseld is since 019. The first U.S. federal government official to "visit" Taiwan. The meaning is extraordinary.
At a time when the whole world believed that relations between the Republic and the United States were going to rock bottom, the Republic did not take any further action.
3 major events that happen in a row. The news media is dizzy and can't grasp the main point.
The Republic and the United States first reached a major consensus on the issue of prisoners of war. Relations between the two countries have moved from confrontation to relaxation; Then there was a storm over the Japanese nuclear issue. It seems that the United States is trying its best to resolve the contradictions between the Republic and Japan; In the end, the United States crossed the line on the Taiwan issue. Relations between the two countries have cooled down suddenly.
It's complicated. There is no pattern to speak of.
When doing relevant reports. The host of the news program used a Chinese word: Tai Chi.
Although for a lot of Westerners. "Tai Chi-" is still an unfamiliar word. But for news media commentators who care about international events. "Tai Chi" is the best way to describe the relationship between the Republic and the United States. There is both right and cooperation, and there are contradictions and interests. There is toughness and moderation.
There is only one point that the Western new media have not omitted. That is, the Japanese nuclear issue has become a time bomb in East Asia.
Public opinion quickly turned to the Japanese nuclear issue. The major news media in the West have speculated about when, and how and if the republic will be with it
|-To resolve Japan's nuclear issue. Many news media have dug up old accounts, and made a comprehensive analysis of the confrontation and game between the Republic and the United States on the Japanese nuclear issue over the past year. The conclusion follows: If the Republic hesitates to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue, the United States is likely to actively promote military action by the Republic; If the Republic is determined to resolve the Japanese nuclear issue by force, the United States will stand on the sidelines.
To put it simply. The United States will not explicitly support or explicitly oppose it. In this case. It is likely that the republic is just a façade on the Japanese nuclear issue. No substantive action will be taken. According to the analysis of most Western commentators. If Wakuni really takes the Japanese issue seriously. It will be after the war on the peninsula. The situation in East Asia was most favorable to the Republic and the war was to start a war with Japan. Instead of wasting 2 years at the negotiating table. Let Japan and foreign intervention forces be fully prepared.
Is this really the case?
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson|When the press conference was held on the other day. Wang Qing has just sent off Foreign Minister Yan Shanglong.
Jiao Lushan hasn't come yet, and he hasn't had time to change tea. Li Cunxun went to the study.
"The situation has been figured out. This is the CIA sent to us. Li Cunxun handed over a document that had just been printed to Wang Yuanqing. Say. "There is no doubt about it. Shesfield's "visit to Taiwan" was only to send some kind of signal. No substantive commitments will be made to the authorities on the island. In other words. The United States has taken note of Taiwan. Realize that there is a high probability that Japan will cause trouble in Taiwan. Shetsfield will meet with representatives of the Blue and Green Camps in Taipei. This can stabilize the situation on the island. ”
That is to say. The United States also does not want problems in Taiwan. ”
Cunxun nodded. "There is a problem in Taiwan. The United States will be the biggest victim. Westwoodken made a major step forward on the issue of prisoners of war. Turned to support us on the Japanese nuclear issue. Show that you don't want to come into conflict with us. Hope to improve relations with us. From this point of view. Westwood will never allow Japan to write on the Taiwan issue."
Wang Yuanqing sank. "The message of beauty is very clear. ”
"Exactly. The attitude of the United States is expressed in the economy," Li Cunxun glanced at the Führer. Said. "Should we slow down a little bit on the Japanese nuclear issue. lest it worsen the situation. ”
"It depends on Japan's attitude." Wang Qing smiled coldly. Said. The United States suddenly changed course in the "quadripartite talks". It must have had a very serious impact on Japan. If I'm not mistaken. Sadamasa Murakami understands the negotiation process in Hara Tamu. The question is. What will Japan do. The sixth round of negotiations continued. Or withdraw from the negotiations? ”
"I think. Day - will withdraw from the negotiations. ”
"Really?" Wang Yuanqing smiled and shook his head. Said. "Japan really wants to withdraw from the negotiations. We have nothing to worry about. It's a big deal, tear your face and dry it. I think. Quite the opposite. With the character of Sadamasa Murakami. Wouldn't do such a reckless thing. It is quite possible that the United States will participate in the sixth round of negotiations in a face-saving manner. That's true. Let's be on the lookout. We have already picked a clear stance at the negotiating table. Will Japan accept their requests? If a commitment is made to destroy nuclear weapons. The legitimacy of Murakami's administration will be dealt a fatal blow. Don't say that the army won't support him. His henchmen will all be betrayed en masse. Li Cunxun nodded. said: "That is. Japan participated in the sixth round of negotiations only to buy time. ”
"What is the purpose of buying time?" Wang Qing asked directly. "The U.S. is already vaccinating Japan. But who can be sure that it will have an effect? As long as Japan refuses to destroy its nuclear weapons. There will be no end to the Quartet. Sooner or later, war will break out. If Murakami Sadamasa thinks that using Taiwan will create trouble for us. It is more effective in safeguarding Japan's interests than provoking the United States. We will make substantial strides on the Taiwan issue. ”
Li Cunxun sighed. No, I don't admire the Führer's ability to grasp and analyze the situation.
"Until the situation becomes clearer. We cannot make concessions at the negotiating table. Wang Yuanqing also let out a sigh. Said. "The change in attitude is of great benefit to us. At least the United States is the force for maintaining stability in Taiwan. And not a factor that destabilizes Taiwan. I have asked Yan Shanglong to send a diplomatic note to Japan and the United States as soon as possible. It is called for the first round of negotiations to be launched as soon as possible. What the hell does Japan want to do? Or what exactly is Murakami going to do. We'll find out soon. The work on the Taiwan side should be carried out as soon as possible. Prepare for the worst. ”
Li Cunxun nodded. "I've made the arrangements. Results are available next month. ”
"The sooner the better. But don't rush it. Other than that. Bakis, for his part, also needs to work hard. Wang Yuanqing paused slightly. Said. "The situation is clear,. I will visit five countries in South Asia. Do a "face project". ”
Li Cunxun wrinkled slightly, his head. Wang Yuanqing's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
As long as there are signs of instability in Taiwan. Wang Yuanqing will do his best to prepare for the start of the war. He personally visited five South Asian countries. It is one of the important preparations before the start of the war.
