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

Chapter 442 Things come true in a secret way
Since East and West Germany had merged first, it was not surprising that North and South Korea merged.

According to the deductions of China's real think tanks, this is a possibility that will naturally occur as China's strength increases.

But they didn't expect that Gao Li would be unable to hold it back so soon.

America is certainly not doing well now, but this is much better than Russia during the Cold War.

"See? This is the chain reaction caused by Lion City. America retreated so quickly in Lion City, so quickly that Gao Li thought that it could also drive out America's forces."

"I think the fundamental issue is the economy. There is no bright spot in Goryeo's economy. With the expectation of a total economic collapse and the problem of declining birthrates, if Goryeo does not take action, their situation will not be much better than that of their northern brothers."

"It's really emotional. In a sense, North and South Goryeo are two sides of the same coin. If we don't take action, the South will have to go through the same thing as the North did."

Don’t say it’s impossible. Just look at how Argentina’s economy collapsed and how the lives of the Argentine people fell from the middle class to a place where they can’t even afford food and clothing.

There are many lessons to be learned from the past.

Goryeo's natural resources are not as good as Argentina's.

“Is it too early now?

If we were to intervene in Goryeo at this point in time, we would certainly be able to gain huge benefits.

But solving these two problems is not so easy, after all, there is the issue of nuclear bombs.

We do not want to miss such a good opportunity to activate the entire Northeast region and build an economic and trade cycle in Northeast Asia. For the Chinese, this cannot be measured by money, and the trillion-dollar scale is an underestimate.

There are rumors about the heavy industry barbecue and light industry rap in the Northeast. For Yanjing, can they really hope that the Northeast will develop like this?
This is an inevitable choice, a choice that must be made in the era of globalization dominated by sea power.

Once North and South Korea merge, the South will have advanced technology and management experience in industries such as electronics, automobile manufacturing, and entertainment, while the North will have certain potential in mineral resource development, etc., plus the broader industrial synergy and cooperation formed in the entire Northeast region.

It is not a dream for Northeast China to develop into a region on par with the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.

It can even be said that for the older Chinese, this is a crucial step to cross the middle-income trap, an important step for China to lead all regions of China to achieve the income level of primary developed countries, and a return of the traditional power of the East for thousands of years.

It is really crucial.

This was a feat no less than conquering the Wolf's Lair and recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and it was a complete return to China's sphere of influence more than a hundred years after the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki in 1895.

The Treaty of Shimonoseki signed between China and Japan symbolized Goryeo's formal separation from the vassal relationship of the Qing Dynasty.

The subsequent "Eulsa Protectorate Treaty" and "Neon-Goryeo Annexation Treaty" simply further confirmed this fact on the basis of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki".

Yanjing has now seen a ray of hope, and the scenery behind this ray of hope is so charming.

To be honest, everyone wants to do it, but is afraid of failure.

"My suggestion is that we have to do it! Goryeo has already extended the olive branch to us, so when should we do it?
Let ** organize and gather the experts from the Korean Peninsula. Strict management will be implemented during this period and no information will be leaked.

Let them work out a detailed and complete plan together, then keep in touch with the Goryeo side, and start pushing it forward after it is confirmed.

We cannot abandon the mission given to us at this critical moment in history. If we miss this opportunity, we will never know when the next one will come.”

Obviously, the old Chinese really don't want to give up this opportunity.

It’s not that the White House can withdraw from the Lion City if it wants to.

The White House could only reach a preliminary tentative agreement.

A series of procedures need to be followed.

Take the example of America returning the sovereignty of the Panama Canal to Panama. It was not a direct agreement, but a long process.

It includes preliminary preparation and authorization, followed by cross-departmental hearings. After the hearings, multiple rounds of hearings will need to be held in Congress, covering government officials, experts and scholars, and representatives of interest groups.

After the hearing, Congress will vote, and after the vote, the president will sign.

And America may still drag its feet. The Panama Canal Treaty and the Treaty Relating to the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal were signed in 1977, and it was not until December 1999, 12 that the Panama Canal was officially returned to Panama.

If the millennium is really the end of the world, then it would be the same as not paying it back even if America paid it back.

So it is not that the president can agree just because he agrees, not to mention that the current White House is already ruled by a lame duck president, who has lost the majority seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

Therefore, at the multi-department hearing, a large number of bureaucrats from the defense and finance departments strongly opposed it.

The voices of opposition almost resounded through the sky.

"The Changi base in Lion City plays a vital role in supporting our military strategy in the Pacific.

Our vast military network in the Asia-Pacific region, which is able to quickly respond to crises and conflicts in various regions of the Asia-Pacific region, will see its overall influence significantly reduced, and our projection capabilities in the Asia-Pacific region will be directly impacted. We will not be able to intervene and deter China in a timely and effective manner when facing strategic challenges from China.”

"This is an important tool of our Asia-Pacific diplomacy. Its existence is also an important manifestation of our security commitment to our Asia-Pacific allies. This will cause our allies to doubt our security commitment, leading to the loosening of the entire alliance system, and further weakening our voice and influence in the Asia-Pacific.

America's influence in Southeast Asia is now at risk of being overtaken by China. If the Lion City base is lost, China will definitely be the happiest. "

"This is also irresponsible to the people of Singapore. Our base has a huge driving effect on the local economy. A huge industrial chain has been formed around the base, including military enterprises, service industry, retail industry, etc., which has created a large number of employment opportunities for the local area. The closure will cause these industries to be impacted, causing a large number of unemployment and having a negative impact on the economy of Singapore. This is a very irresponsible behavior."

The argument was particularly intense in Washington, with many people expressing their opposition at every hearing.

It's very simple. Millions of workers depend on each other for food and clothing. It's not that easy to lay them off.

If the cuts are made, will the military budget also need to be cut? Will the military industry need to reduce spending? Will the number of soldiers also need to be reduced accordingly? Will the fleets currently in the Asia-Pacific region face higher risks and more workload when carrying out missions?

I originally pulled the fleet to Changi Base for repairs, but now I have to go to Guam.

If the Changi base can be withdrawn, can the base in Guam be withdrawn as well? Can bases in other places be withdrawn as well?
Didn't you see that Goryeo had a fierce protest and wanted to remove the American base in Goryeo? This matter is a matter of ripples.

There were also objections when America closed its base in Kenya, but the opposition was not as strong because the base in Kenya was built in 2011 and closed in 23 years, a total of only 12 years.

Together, there are only a few hundred soldiers in the entire base and some army equipment.

Don’t you know that the army is poor? Being poor means limited resources.

Although their number in Lion City is limited, the Changi base has both water and air vehicles, so there is a huge amount of money to be made.

The opposition voices in Washington mainly come from several aspects: one is the military itself, the second is the military-industrial complex, and the third is Japan.

Why did Japan oppose it? Because the Lion City base was gone, which meant that Japan's base would have to take on more tasks, and it might have to expand the area and increase manpower, either of which would not be a good thing for them.

Furthermore, if any accident happens, the risk of Neon becoming the main battlefield will increase sharply.

So Japan is just making a few jokes on the Internet, but Japan's lobbying agencies in Washington have already started full operation to try to dispel Washington's ideas.

At least it can be delayed for a year and a half until the Donkey Party comes to power and this matter will be over.

The last one is the Li family in Singapore. Some people and money still escaped from the Li family.

The Li family originally wanted to retreat to the second line, not being on the stage during this period of fierce competition between China and America, but still having strong control behind the scenes.

At the same time, train the next generation of the Li family well, and when the situation becomes clear, push the trained next generation to the stage.

Unexpectedly, Malaysian companies took advantage of the situation and wiped out the Lee family's power.

Who can bear this.

The Li family regarded Lion City as their own property. Now that the property has been taken away, they naturally want to take it back.

The only chance of winning lies in America, but now America is actually retreating. This is a bolt from the blue for the remnants of the Li family who escaped.

This was as shocking as the Bolsheviks hearing about the collapse of Mao Zedong.

How can this be tolerated.

Fortunately, they still have money and certain connections in Washington.

So the Li family is also trying every means to prevent the worst situation from happening.

The outside world is dazzled. Washington is arguing fiercely about whether to withdraw from the Lion City. There is a new piece of news every day, and the information given by various parties is completely different.

It’s just that from the surface, the Elephant Party is inclined to withdraw from Singapore, while the Donor Party is strongly opposed.

The activities between China and Goryeo are one after another. The latter is unnoticeable to non-professionals, but is a very unusual phenomenon to professionals.

Park Jianyi is such a professional.

His last name is Park and he is Chinese, obviously of Korean descent.

He was very puzzled. His initial puzzlement was exactly the same as Li Dacheng's: why did Samsung hold two celebration ceremonies for its 35th anniversary of entering China?

As the director of the Northeast Asian Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, president of the Korean Peninsula Branch of the Asia-Pacific Society, and director of the China-Korean Friendship Association, he is invited to attend some major celebration ceremonies in Samsung every year.

He clearly remembered that a celebration ceremony had already been held this year, so why hold another one?

Even in the past 30 years, Samsung has never done it twice.

Including at the banquet after the celebration ceremony, the guests were of very high status, beyond ordinary levels.

Park Jianyi was just wondering, but soon his question was answered.

I came to work at the Academy of Social Sciences as usual that day, and was notified to attend a meeting as soon as I arrived.

"Director Park, this meeting is quite special. It will be for at least half a year. Here is my work ID. You can also call Dean Gao to verify it."

Pu Jian made a phone call to confirm with some doubt and said, "Can you give me some time to tell my family? Also, since I'll be gone for such a long time, I need to bring some luggage with me."

“No, the call with President Gao will be your last call before completing this mission.

After you arrive, you can always communicate with the staff there if you need anything, and they will provide purchasing services. In addition, we will also be responsible for reporting your safety to your family. "

After saying this, Park Jianyi was taken away by the three staff members with an uneasy mood.

Such scenes occurred more than a hundred times in China.

The Chinese side did not give the other side any time to prepare at all.

Not to mention packing any luggage, I wasn’t even given the chance to call my family.

why?
Not to mention that most of China's experts on Korean issues are of Korean descent, most of them have experience in Japan, either as researchers or teachers in Japan.

The older Chinese don’t have the time to judge who is reliable and who is not.

Since there is no time to judge, then don't give any reaction time at all.

The Chinese side is afraid of leaking secrets.

Things are accomplished through secrecy, and at such a critical time, it is never too much to be extremely careful.
