The huge anti-US march in South Korea had a great impact on the US military stationed in South Korea, so that senior US officers had to jump out to extinguish their own fires. Williams, a spokesman for the U.S. military in South Korea, said: "...... It is hoped that the South Korean people will clearly see what kind of contribution the US military stationed in South Korea has made to peace on the peninsula, and not limit themselves to one or two negative incidents, but observe the role of the US military stationed in South Korea in a larger scene. ”

However, the South Koreans did not appreciate it, and more and more people criticized the US military stationed in South Korea, and the anti-American protest groups began to continue to sit-in outside the US military camp, and the South Korean businesses that delivered food and water to the US military camp took the initiative to terminate their contracts with the US military and refused to provide supplies to the local US military.

This incident even alarmed US President Clinton, who personally gave instructions that if necessary, the US soldiers who committed the crime could be abandoned and handed over to the ROK side to deal with, in exchange for the ROK to lower the tone of the problems existing in the US military stationed in the ROK.

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Powell, explicitly opposed Clinton's idea, believing that the United States and the US military have the obligation to provide shelter for their young men, and even if they serve prison sentences, they cannot allow US soldiers to stay in prison for more than ten years on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

The tussle between the U.S. military and the cabinet has yet to come to an end, and the latest round of moves by the South Korean side has been made. Kim Tae-chung first unilaterally terminated the defense cost-sharing agreement with the United States and stopped providing the US military with another dime of the budget. Soon after, the defense ministries of the two Koreas, in the name of the Ministry of Defense of the DPRK Federation, officially sent a note to the United States, demanding that the United States withdraw its troops from the ROK on a regular basis and end the stationing.

This has made some South Koreans who are quite subservient and humble a little frightened, because South Korea has rarely decided on affairs related to the United States without consulting with the United States, let alone the existence of such a matter closely related to US interests as the US military stationed in South Korea.

However, now South Korea has actually drawn in the DPRK and proposed to the United States in the name of a country that does not yet exist that it should pull out troops from the territory of the Korean Federation and restore the natural sovereignty and independence of the Korean Federation. The U.S. military, on the other hand, has no excuse to continue to stay in South Korea, because the first defense agreement they signed was with the Republic of Korea, which has been substantially reduced to an administrative region of South Korea, and the main body of the state has become the Federation of Korea. The United States has not signed any defense alliance treaty with the Korean Federation, so the US military has no legal basis for continuing to maintain a military presence on the Korean Peninsula.

The US ambassador to the ROK was anxious like an ant on a hot pot to talk to the ROK Foreign Ministry, but the ROK Foreign Ministry was even more arrogant, and the minister said to the United States: "We do not have the complete diplomatic power of the country now, and even if a friendly country comes to us to discuss this issue, we do not have the right to determine and decide on this matter, and we must go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK Federal Office in preparation to discuss it." ”

The ambassador to the Republic of Korea could only ask: "Then where can we go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK Federation?" ”

The South Korean Foreign Minister told him with an innocent face: "If you ask me, who do I ask?" Actually, I don't know! ”

Dare to love that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK is still a ghostly existence, he can find it when he looks for you, but there is no way out when you look for him!

After hearing this, Clinton's face in the Oval Office of the White House is estimated to be as black as a certain view of the sea that took over as president in another plane after '08. It's just that he has a good demeanor, so he didn't let out his anger, but just called Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Secretary of Defense Asping to discuss.

"This is the most straightforward humiliation of the United States, the United States cannot agree to such a thing, tens of thousands of US troops stationed in South Korea are a symbol of the will and dignity of the United States, let them withdraw in disgrace, and the reputation and image of our current administration will be ruined!" Clinton said quite forcefully, in fact, he can no longer retreat, Somalia has suffered heavy casualties, the negative impact of the fiasco in Mogadishu is still hanging over their heads, the Peruvian war has been fought for several months, in addition to the loss of many planes and helicopters, and the death and capture of more than a dozen American soldiers, the damage to the Macona People's Commune is actually quite limited.

Now, if the right to base and station troops overseas in South Korea is also lost, Clinton can basically be regarded as the most humiliating start to his presidency among all US presidents. Of course, Clinton does not want future generations to remember him in this way, so he must show toughness so that the US military can continue to maintain its ties on the Korean Peninsula.

Christopher sighed: "The South Koreans are so tough, except for the role of reconciliation and alliance with North Korea, I think it would be impossible for us to act so arbitrarily without the support of powerful people behind them." ”

Asping nodded, "That's right, and this object is actually our ally." ”

Clinton's voice suddenly froze: "China! ”

Christopher continued: "Yes, China has contributed a lot to the process of merging and reunifying the two Koreas, and the two countries have been able to cover things up for so long, and they certainly can't do it without China's acquiescence. It's not just North Koreans who are unhappy with our presence in South Korea, but China is the same now. They are trying to build regional control in East Asia, North Asia, Southeast Asia and Central Asia, and it is obvious that South Korea is a very important part of East Asia, and our military presence on the mainland makes it difficult for the Chinese to sleep and eat, and it also makes them very uncomfortable, so taking advantage of this to drive us away is self-evident for them. The Korean Federation, which has lost our influence, will inevitably move closer to its neighboring China, and even join their Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which is just beginning to take shape, and then China will be able to compete with us in the Asia-Pacific region, and our ruling order in the Pacific will face serious challenges. ”

"That's right, Warren, you're right, and it looks like that's how things are. China is using South Korea's mediation for reunification as a bargaining chip, and then pulling in North Korea to put pressure on South Korea to refuse to allow us to continue to station troops on the Korean Peninsula. And the Koreans obviously can't refuse the temptation of national reunification, so they use this as a quid pro quo in exchange for reunification. Damn, these Goryeo sticks sold us! Clinton said angrily.

White House Chief of Staff Mark McLarty interjected: "Your Excellency, as you said, we are basically in a situation where there is no way back, and if we let the Chinese go one step further, they will inevitably think that I am too weak and can be bullied, so as to fight our power around the world." In Peru, although the guerrillas in the People's Commune of Macona mostly use Soviet-made weapons, the largest holder of Soviet-made weapons is not Russia, but China and Far Western Kazakhstan, and it is obvious that both the Somali warlords and the Peruvian rebels have received military support from China behind them, and I dare say Chinese have also provided the necessary tactical guidance, so that these people without military education can fight the government army on an equal footing and pose a certain threat to us. ”

Clinton slapped his knee with his fist and said hatefully: "Chinese doing things is really too hateful." When I first took office, I thought that I could develop a healthy and stable bilateral relationship with them, and thus lead the world with the help of China's local power, but it is clear that this dissenting country covets our leadership. Compared with the Soviets, the Chinese are not small in ambition, but they are used to one thing in front of them and one thing behind their backs, singing about Sino-US friendship on the surface, but they are always looking for trouble for us, and more annoying things, we are in more consideration, and we cannot directly break this point. ”

He looked around at his cabinet and asked, "Now, no matter what, we have to come up with a solution to defuse this crisis." We should try our best to take a multi-pronged approach, on the one hand, to do the work of politicians on the South Korean side and strengthen positive propaganda for our US military, and on the other hand, we must also properly express our tough and firm stance, we are in South Korea, and we will not go anywhere! ”

Defense Minister Aspin was slightly worried: "If the South Koreans really do not cooperate with us, there is a high probability that a bigger crisis will break out at that time." ”

Christopher said: "But if we retreat without any resistance, then there will be more such situations in the future, and we have no choice but to fight back in the face of the enemy's provocation." "Apparently the secretary of state is more hawkish and tough than the secretary of defense.

Clinton slapped his face and said in a fixed tone: "Okay, that's it, the South Koreans have the courage to give us an ultimatum to evacuate, and we also have the courage to stay there in South Korea and not go." When the scene is not good-looking, we will have to see how the Koreans will end. ”

There is a western cowboy's singleness and fierce temperament in the character of Americans, which may not be expressed in ordinary times, but when it is really ruthless, it may surprise people.

Of course, at this point, the Americans did not want to see it, so Clinton mobilized more forces and teams, and conducted various lobbying and walking around South Korea, hoping to persuade South Korea to abandon their previous decision and allow the United States to continue to station troops in South Korea.

The United States has not considered the North Korean factor at all, and South Korea at this time is no longer able to make a decision alone. Although Kim Dae-jung has great pressure from the Americans, he knows that this day is about to fall, and he will stand up to it with North Korea. Moreover, the Chinese, who are obviously the most enthusiastic about driving out the US military, are not the kind of indifferent character.

This big drama can only be more and more exciting.
