The failure of the South Koreans in intelligence against China has a direct impact on the development of US espionage work against China. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the South Korean Intelligence Service is somewhat relieved that the Republic's "top-secret plan" for the purchase of Russian aircraft carriers has been transmitted back through secret channels.

The South Koreans attached great importance to this "top-secret information" stained red with the "blood of martyrs," and in particular, they used top intelligence experts to analyze and discuss it, and submitted it to the staff of the Presidential Office for discussion, and finally came to the conclusion that this information was of great value to South Korea.

If the Republic really gets those two aircraft carriers, the maritime power will increase dramatically, but it will completely block the westward access of the South Koreans and even the Japanese people, which is what they are most worried about.

Therefore, the presidential palace has made a decision that it must be ahead of the republic and take these two aircraft carriers, even if it costs a little more.

After all, South Korea is still at the peak of the "Asian Tigers" era, and it has a lot of money and can afford a lot of money.

"Geographically, South Korea is located in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides, with a coastline of more than 2,400 kilometers and thousands of islands. Most of its large and medium-sized cities and industrial bases are concentrated in coastal areas, especially the important strategic materials such as crude oil and iron ore that are needed rely on maritime transportation, so the ocean waterway has become the lifeline of the national economy's survival and development. Ye Kai said, "On the other hand, South Korea is located in Northeast Asia, the region where the interests of major powers are most fiercely contested, and the strategic environment is very complex, not only surrounded by major powers, but also military confrontation with North Korea along the 38th parallel for decades, although it has formed a military alliance with the United States and the Japanese state, and there are a large number of US troops stationed in the country, but South Korea and Japan have deep historical grievances, and there are serious disputes over maritime delimitation and piracy sovereignty, and each side is strongly wary of each other, and South Korea's own strategic depth is limited. Therefore, the ocean is of even more special importance to its national security. ”

Uncle Li listened to Ye Kai's words, and also deeply agreed, he is engaged in military intelligence work, naturally he is very familiar with the situation of neighboring countries, and now the South Korean Admiralty also has its own plan, hoping to build its own modern aircraft carrier and its carrier-based aircraft through the study of US and Russian aircraft carrier technology, and strive to have both offensive and defensive capabilities, strong combat capabilities, and can smoothly carry out various campaign and tactical tasks.

After all, aircraft carriers are a comprehensive embodiment of a country's military, industrial, scientific and technological level and comprehensive national strength, and it is an indispensable weapon for any country to achieve its goal of becoming a maritime power.

"In the 50s and 60s, South Korea's national strength was relatively weak, and the development of its naval strength was relatively slow. Compared with the army and air force, the ROK Navy started relatively late, and has long relied on the US military stationed in South Korea to assist in maritime defense, and its overall combat capability at sea is limited. "However, in the 70s and 80s, the South Korean economy became one of the four Asian tigers, the South Korean government established a military strategy of independent defense, and the construction of aircraft carriers began to be officially put on the agenda." ”

"South Korea's shipbuilding industry is still relatively strong, but at present, it is still not enough to build aircraft carriers." Ye Kai said, "But they are still very interested in acquiring a Russian retired aircraft carrier, at least they can get valuable technical ideas from it, and now South Korea can build relatively large civilian ships, and once there is a breakthrough in this area, it is even possible to build an aircraft carrier one step earlier than the Republic." ”

"It's incredible to say...... Uncle Li sighed, "It's always a shame to let South Korea build an aircraft carrier before us." ”

"Actually, it depends on the economic strength." Ye Kai said, "If we don't run out of money, we should be able to build a better aircraft carrier." ”

In fact, in Ye Kai's original memory, because of the financial constraints of the Pacific Fleet of the Russian Navy, he had to decide to sell the two largest tonnage warships, the Kiev-class "Minsk" and "Novorossiysk" aircraft carriers, which the fleet is unable to maintain, as scrap metal to South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group, with an asking price of only $13 million.

However, at the same time, Russia demanded that South Korea must dismantle the two aircraft carriers into scrap metal, and after receiving the two aircraft carriers, the South Korean defense department immediately conducted a careful analysis and study with the US intelligence agencies and obtained valuable technical ideas.

It was only under the repeated urging of the Russian side that South Korea's Daewoo Heavy Industries Group dismantled the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier into countless pieces of iron with a size of two square meters, and they tried to bring the Minsk aircraft carrier back to life and realize their aircraft carrier dream ahead of schedule, but unfortunately they later encountered the Asian financial turmoil and had to sell the Minsk aircraft carrier at a loss.

There were also some situations in Mingzhu City, Huang Songming's father, Huang Jinsheng, the deputy mayor, was hit. Period. The commissioner took it away, and everyone in the Huang family was implicated, and a total of more than ten department-level and department-level cadres almost no one slipped through the net, which also caused a major earthquake among the local cadres in Mingzhu City.

The cadres below didn't know the inside story, and they all thought that Ye Ziping had attacked the local faction on behalf of the central government, but they didn't know that the cause of this incident was extremely complicated, and it was actually caused by a foreign-related espionage case

However, after this incident, the Standing Committee members of Mingzhu City were busy for a while, and naturally they wanted to discuss the issue of succession candidates, and it took two days to stabilize the situation, but judging from the situation of successors, they were basically not local cadres.

As a matter of fact, over the past few years, the central authorities have been promoting the strategy of appointing cadres from other places as officials, in order to prevent the local forces in the provinces from becoming too strong and too big to fall, resulting in the evil consequences of the central command being weak.

In fact, the implementation of the tax-sharing system by the central authorities is a clever plan that has been devised in order to better control the officials of the provinces.

Although the gun is in the hands of the central government, the soldier is a murder weapon, and it is impossible to use it casually, this can only exist as a deterrent weapon, but the money bag is different, and everything depends on Brother Kong Fang, so it is the best decision to regulate the local government through the tax sharing system and influence their actions.

As a representative of the central faction, Ye Ziping has also been committed to weakening the local forces after he took power, but his personality is gentle and his methods are stable, so everyone does not feel any vigorous and resolute fireworks.

This time, because of the Huang Songming incident, the Huang family's forces were uprooted, but it was Zhong. Period. Committee, in fact, it can be regarded as helping Ye Ziping eliminate a lot of resistance, otherwise, it would not be easy for him to deal with so many important cadres at once.

In the last week of August, a very amazing event also happened.

China and South Korea have finally formally established diplomatic relations.

After almost four decades of hostility, the overnight normalization of relations between China and South Korea does feel a bit sudden.

In fact, the negotiations between China and South Korea have been going on for a long time, but they have been going on in secret, so they have not been noticed by the outside world, and North Korea and Taiwan Island, which are in the middle of it, have long felt a certain amount.

This incident is the most serious blow to North Korea.

It is undoubtedly a very wise decision for the top level of the Republic of Korea to make up their minds to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea for the sake of the great cause of reform and opening up, to eliminate the economic sanctions imposed by the West on the Republic of Korea after the South Gate Incident, and to better resolve the Taiwan issue.

However, this news was a bolt from the blue for North Korea, and it was unacceptable for the Republic to notify North Korea when it was no longer possible to change it, without telling North Korea about the negotiations.

The North Korean side even said to the Republic that since you have established diplomatic relations with our enemies, then North Korea can also establish diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

However, the attitude of the high-level is very tough, saying that if you want to establish diplomatic relations with Taiwan, then we will also break off diplomatic relations with you.

Ye Kai knew the sequelae of this incident, although the North Korean side suffered a dumb loss at the time, but in the subsequent republic's bid for the Olympic Games for 3 years, he took revenge.

The following year, when Beijing bid to host the Olympic Games for three years, almost no one would think that the republic would fail, because everything was being calculated, so when the vote was made, radio and television gave a very high standard report, thinking that it could provoke another nationalism and patriotism.

But at a time when the people of the whole country were looking forward to it, the republic failed, and the problem was North Korea's crucial vote.

Ye Kai felt that in fact, it was not a good thing that the three-year Olympics were really held in the Republic, because the capital in 2000 was not enough to hold a good Olympics on the whole.

However, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the ROK has brought many favorable things to the Republic, such as the great easing of relations with Japan and the United States, and the rapid track of economic development.

This is the so-called lost east and harvested mulberry elm.

Of course, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the ROK is mixed with the Huang Songming espionage case, which has indeed brought a certain amount of trouble to both countries.

Ye Kai also suspected that this matter was likely to be resolved through private communication in the end, after all, this group of South Koreans who were arrested were all outstanding talents in their intelligence work, and it was impossible for South Koreans to give up easily.

In any case, the ending of these people is not something that Ye Kai should have to do with it, he has already helped Uncle Li to do this well, and it is also a plus for the country, at least in the negotiations with South Korea, it can occupy a more advantageous position.

"That's what we do, outsiders don't know, but it's actually very dangerous." When Uncle Li talked about this to Ye Kai, he was also a little emotional, "If a person drinks water, he knows the warmth and coldness, and only he knows the taste." ”

"Hear thunder in the silence." Ye Kai suddenly remembered a sentence.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm very sorry, the old wolf's health has not been very good recently, and he has been doing well for four days in a row, and his body has something wrong again. (To be continued)
