It's normal to develop some black technology in the future, right?

Chapter 441: Goryeo's Thoughts

There is no doubt that America has been the top geopolitical player on Earth for the past fifty years.

From the White House to various think tanks in Washington to universities across America, a large number of Cold War traders are still alive.

The Chinese often talk about their 5,000 years of experience. The most classic view on American history is: America is a country without history, so the movies they make are always about the future. China is a country with a very long history, so all Chinese movies are costume dramas.

America is a country without history, but that doesn’t mean its experience and technology in geopolitical manipulation are inferior to China’s.

Because China's 5,000 years of experience is the experience of continental geopolitical operations. After expanding the space to a global scale, it can be said that the underlying principles are the same, but it is absolutely impossible to directly apply historical experience to the entire earth.

The expansion of space will cause the techniques you are familiar with to be deformed. If the rules of ball sports are changed at any time, the previously advanced techniques will no longer be advanced. If a sport like football expands the playing field from one lawn to one hundred lawns, and adds various terrains, the whole game will be completely different.

Therefore, most of China's long experience is actually not applicable in modern geopolitics.

In addition, China's geopolitical operations in modern times started late, the tuition fees paid were not enough, and the relevant personnel almost only knew how to follow the Western thoughts. Therefore, the old Chinese have only learned one trick in the field of geopolitics, that is, to respond to changes with constancy.

In short, I abide by one principle, that is, I only need you to have normal economic and trade exchanges with me. I don’t pursue more, I just need this.

After the 80s, the older Chinese only know how to use this trick, and in a sense, it is a trick that they can use to succeed everywhere.

So as an individual pursuing independence, there is no doubt that China is better than America.

Compared to Alpha Technology's neutrality between America and China, America cannot accept the other side leaning towards China.

Although Alpha Technology has no military strength, the opponent has fully demonstrated its absolute advantage in the field of electronic warfare.

The White House think tanks believe that as long as Samad wants, they can completely blind America in the entire Asia-Pacific region in a very short period of time.

Given this situation, the White House is already preparing to make compromises and concessions.

"According to the latest news from the White House, in view of the current international situation, after meeting with Singapore Prime Minister Wang Yikang, White House Special Envoy Susie Wells reached a preliminary agreement to orderly withdraw all bases from Singapore within the next three years. The White House said this was a tribute to President Reagan and an act of America respecting the sovereignty of Singapore."

The Washington Post was first to report the news.

Along with the sharp drop in U.S. stocks and the decline in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, this news was quickly linked together by the media, causing heated discussions in the political and economic sections of traditional media around the world.

Of course, the most enthusiastic reactions came from Japanese and Korean netizens.

Because at the White House press conference, the White House spokesman's statement deeply hurt them, what does it mean to respect the sovereignty of Lion City?

What are the bases in Okinawa, Guam, Seoul, Busan, etc.? Isn't this a clear disrespect for us? Have you considered the feelings of Japan and Korea in such statements?
Twitter exploded:
"What does this mean, American dad? Isn't this statement too much? Why haven't those termites in Nagatacho summoned the ambassador to protest?!"

"They really don't give me any face at all. Neon didn't do anything and was humiliated for no reason."

"Neon will never escape the fate of being humiliated in front of America!"

"It's time to change a father. I think Huaguo is also suitable. Can we let Huaguo station troops here?"

"Well, to be honest, it is actually possible. According to the Potsdam Declaration of the armistice, China has the right to station troops on Shikoku Island and the Ryukyu Islands. In the Potsdam Declaration, even Tokyo and Osaka should be jointly managed by China and America."

"That's right. America has said we don't have sovereignty anyway. Since we don't have sovereignty, why not let China come as well?"

Japanese netizens showed a carefree and hopeless attitude, and ridiculed the bureaucrats in Nagatacho, Chiyoda Ward on Twitter.

"American's behavior is absolutely unforgivable." Gao Li's attitude was much more intense.

This intense reaction is not just limited to the lower levels, but also includes the upper levels who want to take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

Essentially, it was because the economic conditions in Goryeo were much better than those in the North in the past. People could be dogs if they wanted to. The material abundance was enough to make most people indifferent to being dogs, and they might even be glad that they followed the right master.

If I follow Da Mao, I'm doomed.

It is precisely because of this understanding that there was no problem in being a dog in the past.

But now America can’t even protect its own industry, let alone Goryeo’s industry.

Not only was it unable to preserve Korea's advantageous industries, America was also actively pushing Korea's industries to be transferred to America and neighboring Mexico.

Koreans are very aware of the increase in living costs and the sharp decline in quality of life caused by the economic downturn.

In the past, people were dogs because they had bones to eat, but now they can only drink soup. In the foreseeable future, if Goryeo continues to be a dog following America, its economy will further decline, and there is still room for decline.

The North is the best example.

If Russia lost, the economy in the north would plummet. If America lost, after returning to its homeland, how could Korea's fate be much better than that of the north?

He has always advocated independence and self-reliance, avoiding over-reliance on America and damaging Goryeo's national interests, and hopes to gain more equal and autonomous space in this alliance.

Even in the north, he hoped to maintain stability through redemption.

Therefore, when the incident happened, Lee Jae-myung, who had a keen sense of smell, realized that this might not be a bad thing for Goryeo, and it might become a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

But there is a difference between lackeys and lackeys.

Although both are spies planted by America in its own country, the prosecutorial system in Korea is still slightly less controllable than that of Japan's Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

In the 1980s, Toshiba exported high-tech machine tools to Russia, and America was able to directly deal with Toshiba through the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

Prime Minister Morihiro Hosokawa was ousted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office simply because some of his views were inconsistent with those of America.

Domestic companies will be investigated and prosecuted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, and the country's prime minister will be investigated and prosecuted by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, but the same thing will not happen in Goryeo.

Therefore, the difference between the two is that Goryeo's degree of autonomy is slightly higher than Neon.

The reason behind this height difference is actually because China and Goryeo are indirectly adjacent to each other by land.

It is precisely because of this advantage that the Blue House is eager to stir up trouble, or it can be said that Lee Jae-myung is eager to seize this rare opportunity.

"Oh, I hope China is willing to cooperate with us. This will also help themselves." Wen Zhengren prayed silently in his heart.

What they wanted to do was so big that they could only discuss it in secret and didn't dare tell anyone else at all.

No member of the Cabinet can be trusted in such matters.

"I think the Chinese side is aware of the importance of this matter. On the surface, the unification of the North and the South is a huge military threat to them.

But this threat is avoidable.

We can leave security to China and America. The economic benefits are huge. For China, once the north and south are united and de-weaponized, the economy of the entire northeast region of China will be completely activated.

The benefits to them cannot be measured in money.”

This is what top-level geopolitics is like. Once it happens, the benefits it brings are super high returns that last for many years.

"I will make our ideas clear to the Chinese side."

That’s right, what Lee Jae-myung and Moon Jung-in wanted was the unification of North and South Korea.

Simply put, it is a merger after both the North and the South are no longer weaponized.

The South will remove the American bases and no longer adopt the conscription system, only retaining a minimum number of troops. The North will be completely nuclear-free and also only retain a minimum number of troops. China will be responsible for the security aspect, and America will be responsible for the guarantee.

In a sense, the benefits this brings are no less than the reunification of East and West Germany.

The well-developed infrastructure and large number of engineers in the south and the abundant natural resources and abundant cheap labor in the north, not to mention anything else, just completing the economic cycle with China's Northeast region is already a big enough piece of cake.

Let me say a little more here. People outside know that the north is rich in natural resources, but they don't have a clear concept of it. First of all, the proven reserves of coal mines in the north are 147.7 billion tons, and more than 147.7% of these 80 tons of coal reserves are anthracite.

Anthracite has high combustion efficiency and causes little environmental pollution.

China's anthracite accounts for only 10.93%.

Another thing is iron ore. The iron ore reserves in the north are as high as 30 billion tons.

Of course, compared with the iron mines in Kangaroo Country, the development cost of the largest Musan Iron Mine in the north is still higher. Comparing the Musan Iron Mine with the Hamersley Iron Mine in Kangaroo Country, the former's underground mining accounts for 72%, while the former is almost entirely open-pit iron mines. The quality of the iron ore in Kangaroo Country is also higher.

But it depends on who you compare it with. Compared with China's iron ore, the quality of Musan Iron Mine is obviously much better.

The concentrate of Musan Iron Mine accounts for 65%, and in China, any ore with a grade greater than 50% can be considered a rich ore. The proportion of iron ore with a grade greater than 50% is only 2.7%.

In short, the north not only has abundant natural resources, but these natural resources are also of high quality and are very easy to mine in terms of economic benefits.

Therefore, the lower classes of Goryeo were outraged and tried to take the opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction and express their inner feelings about the fact that the economic downturn was caused by America.

This time, the Goryeo top brass really wanted to take the opportunity to drive the American base out of Goryeo.

If we want to promote the merger of the North and the South and let China lead the merger of the North and the South, the first step is to drive out the Americans.

For them, since America will withdraw from Singapore, is it possible to withdraw from Korea as well? It is entirely possible.

They even feel that the opportunity only lasts for more than a year and the time window is fleeting. When the Democratic Party comes to power in a year and a half, it will be impossible to talk at that time.

Even if we wait until the Democratic Party comes up to discuss this matter, neither Lee Jae-myung nor Moon Jung-in will survive.

“Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you miss it, you’ll have to wait at least another eight years.

Eight years, eight years and I think the Goryeo economy will be ruined.

We are no longer in the Blue House.

We need to push the negotiations forward as quickly as possible while we still have leverage.”

Lion City has already removed the first nail, and now Goryeo wants to remove the second nail.

"Okay! We will definitely get it done!" Li Dacheng felt puzzled.

Lee Dae-sung is the president of Samsung Electronics in China and is fully responsible for Samsung's business in China.

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Samsung's entry into China, which is a small milestone worth celebrating.

35 years is still a long time.

So Samsung held a small celebration ceremony in the first half of the year, because they officially entered China in April, and invited some technical bureaucrats from China's economic and technological fields to have a meal together.

In other words, Samsung has been in a downturn in China in recent years.

If Samsung was still popular in China in 2017, or if Samsung was at its peak in China in 2012, it would have met the elders.

At least I met the provincial officials in 2017.

It’s not like now, with only a few big cats and small cats.

In other words, Samsung itself does not take its 35th anniversary in China seriously, let alone the Samsung headquarters.

As a result, more than half a year later, Samsung headquarters suddenly called them and asked them to prepare and invite more guests to liven up the event.

Li Dacheng was puzzled in his heart, but he agreed very readily.

"Remember to make arrangements. Cabinet member Minister Moon Jeong-in will also be present. The Blue House will fully communicate with the Yanjing side, and the Yanjing side will also send officials of the corresponding level to participate. You must not make any mistakes."

"Yes!" Li Dacheng was even more confused.

He could understand why Lee Jae-yong was so fawning and looked as if he was afraid that things had not been arranged properly.

This is because Lee Jae-yong or the Samsung Group does not have a good relationship with the current Blue House. The current Blue House and the previous Moon Jae-yong are in the same faction.

When Moon was in the Blue House, he did a lot of harm to Lee Jae-yong and Samsung.

Even though the chaebols collectively opposed it and the five largest chaebols collectively went to the Blue House, hoping that Moon would release Lee Jae-yong, Moon still went ahead and locked Lee Jae-yong up for five years on the grounds that his best friend was interfering in politics.

Moon Jeong-in is Moon's ally, and this Blue House's attitude towards chaebols is equally unfriendly.

Opportunities like this for Samsung to do things are rare, so it is not difficult to understand Lee Jae-yong's flattery.

However, Li Dacheng couldn't understand the motive. It felt like Wen Zhengren had deliberately found a reason to come to China.

But anyway, on that day, Wen Zhengren came, and the senior official from China was also very important and very special.

“The demands raised by Gaoli are too complex and multi-dimensional, and the news came too suddenly, so we cannot be sure whether we can do it at the moment.

We still need some time to make a judgment. I can only say that in principle we absolutely support Goryeo's national self-determination and Goryeo's desire to increase its autonomy, and we will do our best to promote this matter.

We are fully aware of Goryeo’s demands.”
