Chapter 1692 Seeking
Choi Jung-won's proposal for cooperation with NORINCO is obviously not in the ordinary commercial and industrial fields, but for the sake of South Korea's military-technical field.
According to the content of the "ROK-US Military Alliance Agreement", the ROK and the United States are military allies. On this basis, the weapons and equipment of the ROK army, especially heavy weapons and high-tech equipment, are basically ready-made weapons systems purchased from the United States.
Even the military technology of the United States is basically based on the technology of the same NATO countries.
Although over the years, especially during the Cold War, relying on the military protection of the United States, South Korea has survived many military crises.
But as a country that wants to be independent, I am afraid that no one wants the most important military power to be in the hands of other countries.
What's particularly fucked up is that the weapons systems that the United States provides to allies like Japan and South Korea are not the same as the equipment that the U.S. military is currently in service, but are castrated versions.
Even if the weapon system is inferior to the US military in terms of strength, the price is ridiculously expensive.
For this alone, the United States has made huge profits from its allies over the years, and it has also made these allies who are powerless to resist miserable.
In particular, during the Asian financial crisis in 1997, after the United States relied on its powerful military and political power to plunder its traditional allies, these countries became dissatisfied one after another.
No one wants to be deprived of the wealth they have worked so hard to create.
Now that the U.S. economy is in recession, it is no longer able to maintain its global hegemony. China, which is closer to South Korea, is rising day by day, and has an inseparable intersection with South Korea in many fields such as economy, politics, culture, and diplomacy.
Under such circumstances, the South Korean government's desire to shake off the control of the United States and throw itself into the arms of a new type of power has become unprecedentedly strong.
In the previous life, South Korea was very ambiguous in this change of attitude. Even while strengthening ties with China, it has always maintained an attitude of being ready to leave.
On the one hand, there are realistic demands, and on the other hand, they are also very vigilant against China's ideology.
South Korea's leaders are afraid that after strengthening ties with China, South Korean society will be deeply influenced by socialist ideology. Break with the current inherent capitalist system.
In addition, although the United States is declining, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the majesty is still there. South Korea is also afraid that being too close to China will completely anger the United States.
As China's strength is not yet strong enough to ensure the security of South Korea, if the United States takes drastic measures, it will bring disaster to them.
But Choi Jung-won was reborn, and he is far more optimistic than the current South Korean politicians. Because of this experience, he knows better how obvious the decline in the United States is.
In addition to this, the United States itself has found its own powerlessness. A strategy of global contraction is actively underway.
In the process, those countries that do not hurry up and work hard to get rid of it will inevitably become the delicacy of the United States before it shrinks.
Look at the United States at that time, constantly stirring up tensions in East Asia, making tension between China and Japan. At the same time, it has loosened its grip on Japan, watched Japan normalize, and nurtured Japan's ambitions.
At the same time, in Southeast Asia, those small countries are constantly engaged in border friction with China and create anti-China feelings.
In Europe, Greece's economic crisis is intensifying. The strict artistic conception has affected the stability of the euro and the process of European integration.
At the same time, the Middle East has become a mess, and ISIS is running rampant. Moreover, the United States has not spared even its traditional ally, Saudi Arabia, in a vain attempt to drag the entire Arab world into chaos.
At a time when the whole world is in turmoil, perhaps many people have not noticed one thing. That is, the normalization of diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba.
You must know that Cuba, located in the Caribbean, has always been a thorn in the heart of the United States, which makes the United States feel very uncomfortable.
During the Cold War, the Soviet Union almost caused World War III to break out simply by deploying missiles in Cuba.
Now the United States wants to keep its American backyard. He actually gave up the hardline policy in the past and solved the trouble of his confidants.
Moreover, China's strategy of preparing to enter Mexico through economic means has also been disrupted by the United States.
It's not hard to see from this. The United States has gradually narrowed its strategic gaze from the global world to the Americas.
Returning to South Korea itself, Choi Jung-won is much more urgent than others about the domestic situation.
Perhaps there are many, many South Koreans who are immersed in the dream that the United States is their ally, but he knows very well that the Americans will never be polite to this so-called ally of the United States before withdrawing from Asia.
If you want to remain as miserable as Ukraine, Syria, Libya, Iraq and other countries, strengthening your own strength will be the most important way.
Thinking about South Korea two years later, it can be said that the shape shì is not optimistic.
The Chrono incident, the Mers virus, various corruption scandals, and the incident of the mother and son, all add up, and they are all full of conspiracy.
In Choi Jung-won's view, the political and social situation in South Korea during that period was no different from that of the First Sino-Japanese period.
Public dissatisfaction with the government is growing, with rhetoric blaming the Park Geun-H government for inaction and corruption.
Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, the government of the time was inadequate, inefficient, and corrupt in the midst of various incidents, and it was difficult to be satisfied.
But consider that South Korea is not an independent country. How difficult it will be for the government when someone doesn't want to make it good.
At the same time, those careerists of the opposition parties do not have a clear mind, and will only continue to fan the flames, attack the government, and seek power.
To this day, Cui Zhengyuan still remembers that during the time when the Mers virus was raging, some local governments brazenly refused to allow the central government to send quarantined people into the country.
What does it mean for such a thing to happen in a country of the central bloc?
Moreover, the mayor of Seoul at the time, Park Won-c, in addition to constantly fighting war of words with the central government departments, did not lead the Seoul city government under him to effectively control the spread of the virus.
You must know that when he was running for mayor of Seoul, he was burdened with huge popularity and was also called the star of politics.
Cui Zhengyuan can't believe how sad this country and nation will be if such a person who puts the interests of the country behind and will only strive for power and profit will really become president in the future.
Choi Jung-won felt that Korea at this time was similar to the First Sino-Japanese period. It's because the political zhì shape shì is extraordinarily imaginary at that time.
Park Geun H is like Concubine Min, and in the opposition party, he is not the king of the courtyard.
At that time, China and Japan, as they are today, were undergoing tremendous changes.
Once the two sides do not have the absolute strength to suppress the opponent or encounter a crisis, they will definitely invite helpers from outside the court to help.
When China and Japan enter this contest, won't it be a reappearance of the First Sino-Japanese War?
The difference is that now Japan has empty ambitions and is not strong.
And China is not the decaying and declining Qing Dynasty, but a new China with thriving national strength.
Under the current international situation, China and Japan are not acting. However, if Japan discovers that China is not that powerful in the struggle for dominance in East Asia, it is not impossible to shift the target along the way.
If only South Korea did not want to suffer such a tragic fate as it had suffered during the First Sino-Japanese War. To cultivate your own internal strength and have a certain strength to dominate your own destiny, you must prepare in advance.
First of all, the first point is that the command and military equipment of the armed forces must be independent and self-reliant, and they must not continue to be controlled by others.
In terms of the command of the army, Park Geun-H and Choi Jung-won and others are already quietly proceeding.
Not long ago, Xian Yuqi, a rising star of the South Korean military and head of the special operations forces, was officially promoted to lieutenant general, serving as chief of staff of the First Army Corps of the South Korean Army and chief of the South Korean side of the South Korea-US Joint Operations Command.
The general of the Second Army Corps was also replaced by a pro-Park general, and he took control of the military control near Seoul as a strategic reserve.
As for other positions, such as the Minister of Defense and the Chairman of the General Staff Headquarters, they will also be held after Park Geun-H becomes president. Successive transfers.
On top of that, a U.S. general at the Joint Staff Conference last month was severely attacked by the South Korean military for serious dereliction of duty.
In order to appease the anger of South Korea, the US military, which was caught, had to agree to cancel the veto power of the US representatives.
Other words. From now on, any military action against the ROK military must be voted on by all members of the General Staff Liaison Headquarters.
With the basic rule that the minority obeys the majority, the South Korean military has a tremendous grasp of the initiative.
This stage of victory has never been achieved in a previous life. It also represents an important step for the South Korean military to get rid of the control of the United States.
With the follow-up plans being carried out one after another, and the United States becoming increasingly weak, it is believed that the South Korean military will be able to obtain complete independent command.
And with the exception of independence in terms of military command. There is also a crucial aspect, which is the independence of the military equipment system.
If it wants to be free from being controlled by others, the South Korean military must have its own independent weapons and equipment system and supply channels in order to finally get rid of the clamp of the United States.
In this regard, Cui Zhengyuan found Xi Dada and put forward the idea of cooperation with NORINCO.
The ROK military's weapons research and equipment are basically based on the line of the US military, which it also follows, and it is unable to develop and produce its own weapons in many key technical fields.
For example, the K2 main battle tank, which was later boasted as a powerful one, is a miscellaneous brand of multinational cooperation.
Its tank turf uses the technology of the U.S. M2 main battle tank, and the gun is a German L55 120mm smoothbore gun, but the power system is jointly developed by Doosanlnfracore and STX.
The most ironic thing is that its artillery system is German technology, but the fire control system is the system of the French Leclerc main battle tank.
As a result, such a miscellaneous thing was declared by the shameless South Korean military to be the No. 1 main battle tank in Asia.
But a small cement pier made this tank lose face.
Cui Zhengyuan helped domestic heavy industry enterprises to cooperate with the North Industries Group in order to solve the independent production of main battle equipment similar to tanks, and eventually form self-sufficiency. (To be continued......)
