PS: Thank you for the reward!

This time, Choi Jung-won didn't give everyone a chance to speak, and he began a tirade about his own political concepts.

"As I said earlier, you should also feel that the fate of our country is undergoing another change. The reason for this change is that China is rising strongly, while our traditional ally, the United States, is declining. It is not yet clear who will win this game, but it is clear that we must make a choice between the state and the people in the middle. ”

was long and silent, and many people looked at Cui Zhengyuan who was talking in amazement.

The rise of China and the decline of the United States are felt by many. But no one in South Korea has dared to discuss the issue openly yet.

Don't look at the economic problems, South Korea is constantly moving closer to China. But decades of alliances have allowed staunch pro-American factions to prevail in South Korea.

To this day, there are still many people who clamor about the greatness of the United States and are full of illusions about the United States.

Even when Park Geun-H came to power later, he only moved closer to China in behavior, but never expressed his views clearly.

Now, as a political figure, Choi Zhengyuan is the first to clearly surface this situation. And he also threw a gun and asked directly, throwing this question directly to everyone present, and then transmitted it to the hearts of thousands of people through live TV.

The surrounding situation has undergone a major transformation, and South Korea, which is deep in the center of the whirlpool, where should it go? Do you face this reality head-on, or do you bury your head and ignore it like an ostrich?

For fear that everyone's feelings would not be deep, Cui Zhengyuan came up with a vivid example. "A hundred years ago, the situation around us also underwent major changes. The Qing Dynasty was in decline, while Japan was on the rise. Unfortunately, the rulers at that time made a wrong and stupid decision, and what the fate of the country will be later, I believe everyone knows. The past does not forget the teacher of the future. I hope that everyone can think more about the future of the country, the nation and themselves in this critical historical period. ”

Of course, there is no shortage of pro-American factions among those present, and when they hear Choi Jung-won's obvious alienation from the United States and his proximity to China, they want to stand up and denounce and refute it.

But then Cui Zhengyuan mentioned Jia Wu and quickly quieted them down.

The First Sino-Japanese War was not only a humiliation for China, but also the beginning of the Korean Peninsula becoming a colony. Since then, and to this day, the people who live on this land. They have never been able to make their own decisions independently.

No one wants to have an emperor on their head and live grovelingly.

Although in the Korean War of that year, with the help of the United States, South Korea was not wiped out by the compatriots in the north. But after the existential crisis has passed, this ally, who has always commanded everything in South Korea remotely, may not be so satisfying to the majority of South Koreans.

Just like during the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and Silla worked together to eliminate Goguryeo and Baekje, which were a common threat to both sides, and seemed to be intimate.

But then for the sake of interests and national security, Silla broke out into war with the Tang Dynasty. Eventually, he seized the original land of Baekje.

In front of the country, interests always come first.

Not to mention that for more than 60 years, the United States has not helped South Korea complete reunification, and has always controlled South Korea's military command.

The most painful thing for people of insight is. This originally reliable ally attacked his own people even more blackly and ruthlessly.

The Plaza Accord and the Asian financial crisis of 1997 completely plunged South Korea's originally beautiful economic development into the abyss, and it has not been relieved to this day.

And the one who launched this financial catastrophe. But it's the financial speculators in the United States. Without the support of the U.S. government, how dare they be so unscrupulous?

Not to mention the Plaza Accord, which directly plundered the economic gains that Japan and Europe had developed so hard. In the end, they can only look to the United States.

In fact, since then, these staunch allies of the United States have begun to drift away from Germany.

Unlike the European Union, which is committed to unity, and Japan, which is hiding from the world, South Korea's situation is more complicated.

The environment around it is so bad that it needs the wisdom of the leaders and the support of the whole people. Otherwise, a repetition of the First Sino-Japanese chaos is just around the corner.

How to make the Chinese people who are now drunk and dreaming of death realize this, this is what Cui Zhengyuan has to do first.

If you don't seek to influence all people, you must at least win yourself a group of like-minded people to form a powerful group.

The re-mention of Jia Wu made those who refuted it jealous.

Compared with the illusions of democracy, freedom, and capitalism, it is clear that the people of South Korea are more sensitive to the humiliation of the past.

If you oppose Cui Zhengyuan's views on such an issue, you will easily be branded as a national traitor and become a rat crossing the street.

Only one teacher said with little confidence: "Maybe Executive Cui's point of view is too exaggerated to exaggerate the serious atmosphere, in the current world, the major powers have nuclear weapons that are enough to destroy everything." It is very likely that the state of war is no longer suitable for the struggle between the major powers, and the situation we are facing should be much safer than during the First Sino-Japanese period. ”

He said this in such a way that even he could not believe it.

To be able to be a teacher at Seoul National University, natural social relations are not so simple, and they are more or less related to national politics.

What an unreliable idea to have illusions about the conflict of interests in national politics!

Sure enough, Cui Zhengyuan said the same thing.

I saw him shake his finger and smile gently: "In the handling of state affairs, it is understandable that we have good ideas. As modern citizens with a heart for the country and the people, isn't this our long-cherished wish? However, in terms of specific practices, we must have the most rigorous attitude and take the worst situation into account. Only in this way, when we really encounter difficulties, we will not have a sense of loss and enterprising spirit because of the huge gap between reality and ideals, and we can unswervingly complete our mission. ”

Cui Zhengyuan's face had a holy and high-spirited demeanor, and he suddenly raised his tone. "Our ancestors came to this day step by step in this cramped and impoverished land, under extremely harsh and difficult circumstances, and only then did we have the Republic of Korea. I hope that our descendants can also inherit the spirit of hardship and dedication of our ancestors. Continue to work for the development of our country. ”

He looked at everyone with deep affection and said in a deep voice: "When the martyr An Shigegen went to assassinate Ito Hirobumi, would he not know his end? But he went without hesitation. Martyr Yoon Bong-gil assassinated the Japanese army general Shirakawa Yoshinori and resolutely went to the execution ground. Our country has been lost, but our government of the Republic of Korea continues to exist tenaciously and fight for the independence of the country and the nation. With the encouragement of these sages and aspirants, I believe that our country will be able to stand tall and make further progress in the ever-changing international situation in the future, with the efforts of all like-minded peers. ”

At last. Cui Zhengyuan's first speech in his life came to an end with earth-shattering applause.

After his words, he also conveyed his political ideas to the world. However, the ideological trend caused by it has only begun to brew.

It is foreseeable that for a long time to come, there will be a period of great confusion in the thinking of Korean society.

During the four-hour speech, Cui Zhengyuan, who was strong and strong, walked down, and felt dizzy and collapsed.

Zheng Xinghuai had already taken the water and waited under the stage, as soon as he walked down. He handed it over.

Cui Zhengyuan couldn't wait to take it, and poured it wildly regardless of the ground.

Zheng Xinghuai said with mixed feelings: "Ah, I really didn't expect that you would provoke such a serious and sensitive topic." It's lively. Let's wait and see, there will be a mess soon. ”

Shen Taifeng also stood aside, and said with some disagreement: "It's a little too anxious to come up with so many things that are different from mainstream values at once." It's likely to cause confusion in your mind. ”

Cui Zhengyuan drank the water, looked at the discussion of the students that had become fierce through the heavy curtain, and smiled: "It's good." If it's not messy, how can you fish in troubled waters? I'm getting up late, and if I want to get a piece of the political pie, I have to have an environment where a hundred schools of thought are contending. Otherwise, what else do I need to do in a political environment with strong barriers? ”

Shen Taifeng shook his head with a wry smile and admonished: "You, just like you said, be careful to repeat the old incident of the First Sino-Japanese War. I don't know if you are Concubine Min, Dayuanjun, or Donglin Party? ”

Cui Zhengyuan's eyes were scorching, flashing with wisdom. "What are they, I wish I were like Queen Seondeok."

Queen Seondeok, a famous queen of the Silla dynasty. His real name is Kindman, and he is the most crucial figure in promoting the reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

During the reign of Queen Seondeok, she was good at combining vertical and horizontal strategies, and danced with long sleeves among the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo, Baekje, Japan and other forces, and finally won the victory of unification.

If there is one political figure who has had the greatest influence on the history of the peninsula and has the highest achievements, Queen Seondeok is second to none.

Later, the so-called Taejo of Goryeo, King Sejong, etc., are not worth mentioning at all.

Queen Seondeok is not only eloquent and strategic, but also attaches great importance to external communication and learning. During her reign, she sent many of her children to study in the Tang Dynasty, which eventually helped Silla improve its economy, culture, and national strength in all aspects.

Hearing that Choi Jeong-won is called the queen of Seondeok, then it is clear that he thinks the other current forces are Goguryeo, Baekje, and Japan.

When you think about it, this metaphor might be more appropriate. Shen Taifeng and Zheng Xinghuai all smiled silently, and they had more expectations for this young man in their hearts.

Cui Zhengyuan relieved himself and said solemnly to Shen Taifeng: "Professor Shen, the disturbances in the next period of time will depend on your strong support. ”

Shen Taifeng grabbed his hands tightly and said earnestly: "Don't worry, everything is ready on my side, just wait for the east wind." It's been a long time since I've had a debate with someone else, so let's have a good time this time. What kind of progress, what kind of conservatism, is not beneficial to the country and the nation, what is the use? ”

When people get old, they feel a lot of emotion. Shen Taifeng continued: "During this time, under your recommendation, I have carefully studied China's policies and leadership in the past 30 years, and I have to say that I have benefited a lot. It is a pity that the majority of Chinese people are ignorant, but they cannot see the results that are close in front of them, and blindly admire the Western system. It's time for change, and why the world has to be decided by Westerners. ”

Cui Zhengyuan was also very emotional, and sighed: "There is a long way to go, and I will never give up." ”

It was after his first public speech in his life that Choi had the first like-minded ally in his political career.

This small, slightly gloomy backstage is the starting point of Choi Jeong-won's political clique.

From then on, it will surely take root and grow gradually, and eventually have the power to change the situation of the country, the nation and the surrounding areas, leaving a strong mark in the history books. (To be continued......)
