By the summer of 1993, most of the merger talks between the two Koreas had progressed, and basically all the issues had been outlined and could guide the concrete process of reunification. In addition, both North and South Korea basically regard national reconciliation and national reunification as the highest inspiration, and all affairs must give way to reunification, so there is no matter that cannot be resolved in the process of negotiations.

At this time, North and South Korea had even planned a new capital of the Korean Federation, and naturally Pyongyang and Seoul could not be the capitals, but the idea was actually still in unison, to build a new political center city in the original disputed and tense zone of the 38th parallel between the two countries, similar to Brazil's construction of Brasilia and Kazakhstan's later construction of Astana, mainly giving the function of the city capital.

The city was built on the plains east of Kaesong, on the banks of the Han River on the Korean Peninsula, right across the border between North Korea and South Korea. It will be built as a small but well-functioning administrative zone that will serve as the seat of the central government of the DPRK Federation.

In commemoration of the hard-won reunification and peace, the name of the capital was established as Shinwa City. When the preparatory work for the construction of Xinhe City begins, the situation of each side of the 38th parallel will be broken, and the engineers of the DPRK and South Korea will enter this area to cut down trees and build buildings to create a new city.

In the end, however, it was impossible to cover up such a big matter, and first the various ministries of the South Korean Cabinet carried out a lot of work and preparations on the issue of reunification, and then the engineering troops that began preparations were preparing to march towards the 38th parallel.

In June, Japan's Bunchun Weekly was the first to make a guess that South Korea had made all sorts of unbelievable preparations regarding the frequent entry and exit of officials from the DPRK and the ROK in Beijing, speculating that changes might take place on the Korean Peninsula, but for the time being it was impossible to determine whether the changes would be in a good direction or a bad direction.

Furthermore, the Hong Kong media, which are more flexible in information, have also followed suit and made reports, because the large Hong Kong media are still very strong in the mainland's sources, although there will be no sources breaking the news to them, but there is no difference between those who do news and those who do intelligence, and if they get some clues, they can basically judge the facts.

When the Hong Kong media learned that the two countries on the Korean Peninsula had been meeting in Beijing with high intensity and frequency since February, and that there seemed to be some kind of protracted meeting or negotiation taking place, and that the DPRK had undergone major social changes since the death of Kim Il Sung, and that there was a great tendency for the confrontation on the Korean Peninsula to ease, a political commentator made a bold prediction that the DPRK and the ROK would be reunified like the two Germanys.

This highly realistic speculation has not only triggered large-scale reprinting in China, but also caused media around the world to follow suit and comment. In particular, many media in the United States reported on this incident as if they had just woken up from a dream, and groups of reporters flew across the Pacific Ocean, either to Beijing or Seoul, hoping to catch a little bit of material and report it.

And at this time, the confusion was also caused by the Americans, who were a little anxious about the Peruvian war. The attention of the Americans has not been on the Korean Peninsula for a long time, and even if Kim Il Sung died and there was a change of power in North Korea, the Americans were not particularly worried, because there is China behind North Korea, and if China does not want North Korea to make trouble, it will be difficult for North Korea to stir up trouble. This is also the greatest benefit of having China as an ally, which allows you to enjoy lasting and stable regional peace.

Even if China is wary, the main bases operated by the United States are Guam in the second island chain and the Philippine base in the South China Sea. The South Korean army, on the other hand, is relatively not the most important part of the situation.

But it didn't come to pass, the Americans had no intention of moving the Korean Peninsula, and the Korean Peninsula itself gave the United States a big surprise. Without informing the American father, the South Korean cub actually privately negotiated with the representative of the DPRK in China on the reunification of the peninsula, and it has been going on for so long, so far all obstacles have been basically cleared, well, except for the United States.

As a last resort, Clinton had no choice but to personally call Kim Tae-chung a hotline to verify the authenticity of the matter. Kim Tae-chung's attitude toward Clinton on the phone was neither humble nor arrogant, which was very different from that of the South Korean president, who had constantly curtailed the Americans in the past, and this also made the Americans really uneasy.

"We don't have any information to share with our allies until the time is right, and this is our own internal affair, so we ask our allies not to interfere too much." Kim Dae-jung said this, already slightly prickly.

Although it is not directly confirmed, it can be regarded as an indirect acknowledgment that such sensitive negotiations between the two Koreas are indeed taking place that could cause great geopolitical changes.

Subsequently, the press officer of the US State Council said at a regular news conference that the United States will cautiously wait and see the political changes on the Korean Peninsula, pay close attention to the development of the situation, and assess the impact of the reunification of the Korean Peninsula on the US presence on the peninsula. The whole article only revealed his worries, but did not say anything about blessings and hopes that the Korean nation can be self-determined and move towards reunification, which makes many Koreans more dissatisfied.

Japan is a country that is close to the attitude expressed by the United States, and Japan's concerns are more realistic. In the past, if it was only South Korea, Japan could basically stabilize them, and whether it was in terms of economy or military presence, South Korea was not enough for Japan to see, and Japan also enjoyed a sense of superiority in historical colonization. However, if the Korean Federation, which was historically hostile to Japan, was established, and the Korean Federation could integrate the forces of the entire peninsula and receive support from China, the challenge to Japan would become serious.

Although the Japanese government has not expressed the same worries as the United States, the Japanese people are very unoptimistic about the reunification of the DPRK and the ROK, and some people even openly oppose the reunification of the DPRK and the ROK for a variety of reasons, such as reunification is a complicated matter, and people with different ideologies and values may clash when put together, and the totalitarianism of the DPRK may have an impact on the democracy that the ROK has built with great difficulty. This is far-fetched at first glance, but the main idea behind it is that a unified Korea must not be allowed to challenge Japan's comparative advantage in Northeast Asia.

The rise of China in the Western Pacific region has already made Japan extremely worried and sad, but now if the Korean Federation develops into a country comparable to Japan, it will be difficult for Japan to accept both the huge psychological gap and the actual benefits.

After the news was disclosed in South Korea, it also caused a strong response. Of course, many Koreans believe that they are the dominant side in reunification, just as the Federal Republic of Germany unified the GDR, so they are very supportive of the reunification process between the two Koreas. What's more, the two sides were originally of the same language and the same species, because the relationship between the great powers of confrontation and competition was eventually torn in half, leaving a lot of scars, and reunification is the best opportunity to turn the old page and start anew.

The simple nationalist sentiment unites the people and regions of their own nation to form a unified country and maximize their strength, which is a natural thing of nationalism, and the nationalist forces and ideas in South Korea have always been relatively strong, so it is not surprising that the reunification process has their support.

In North Korea, because the environment is relatively closed, not much has changed.

In China, where the negotiations took place, although the Chinese people have gradually begun to care about international affairs, ordinary people still can't see clearly what kind of impact what happens on the Korean Peninsula on China, and they just talk about it. When older people recall the experience of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, they can't help but lament that time has changed at this time, all kinds of things have changed, and the motherland is not what it used to be.

A commentator's article in the Global Times said that the reunification of the Korean Peninsula is an opportunity to reshuffle the geopolitical pattern in Northeast Asia, and that China is already ahead of the curve in actively mediating negotiations between the DPRK and the ROK, but China absolutely cannot let the DPRK and the ROK decide all the issues on their own. Cooperation between China and the DPRK should be strengthened as much as possible, and it is even necessary to invite the DPRK Federation to the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. In addition, many problems left over from the Cold War period also need to be solved, and to paraphrase the words of the great man, clean the house before entertaining guests, the new Korean Federation, obviously needs to be cleaned.

Even if no name is named, the hidden edge also comes out. The US military stationed in South Korea is obviously not suitable to stay there any longer. In the past, there was a North Korea as a buffer zone between China and the United States, but now that the DPRK and the ROK have been unified into one country, the buffer no longer exists, and although Sino-US relations have now been highly relaxed, we still cannot be overly gullible to others, and it is best not to leave the United States with a direct foothold on the east coast of the Asian continent.

Obviously, this is very correct, the US military can build a base in Japan, a base in the Ryukyus, and a base in the Philippines, but building a base on the Korean Peninsula is another concept, not only China needs to face the defense of the sea frontier, but also needs a relatively strong force on land to defend, which will have a huge impact on its own national defense deployment and waste.

At this time, not only in China, but also in South Korea, many pen and staff were also instructed by Kim Tae-chung to begin to sing the praises of the true reunification of the Korean Peninsula after the reunification of the DPRK and the ROK, and the DPRK and the ROK have good relations with China, and the pressure on defense has been greatly reduced, so the DPRK Federation has no obligation to provide the United States with a large amount of funds to allow them to be stationed in their own country, which is not only a waste of land on the narrow and densely populated peninsula, but also a waste of taxpayers' taxes.

It was only at this time that the United States suddenly woke up and felt full of malice from East Asia.
