Chapter 608: The Storm Changes
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the situation we are facing at present, what do you think about this matter, you can now put it forward and discuss it together" After putting out the latest report on the military's war games and the briefing on Xie Heping's secret visit to the mainland, Zhu Dunru turned off the slides, glanced around at the bigwigs of the major parties on Taiwan Island below, and said calmly that although he had made up his mind, this matter was too important after all, and it involved the interests of all people on Taiwan Island.
In this regard, if other parties representing various interest groups respond, even if he succeeds in negotiations, he may not be able to pass the Legislative Council, and if he talks without the consent of various parties to talks, I am afraid that large-scale protests will be set off immediately, which will eventually lead to large-scale division and confrontation on the entire Taiwan island.
After reading these brief reports on the latest intelligence, the bigwigs of various political parties were able to sit as calm as a mountain in the face of such shocking news; although the relations between the two sides of the strait suddenly took a sharp turn for the worse, which seemed to be a bit abrupt, these bigwigs of various parties were actually mentally prepared to be able to sit on the top of the current political ecological chain in the sinister political environment on Taiwan Island, and no one was a fuel-efficient lamp.
Moreover, in the military observation group to the mainland, Zhu Dunru did not deliberately prevent young officers from other parties from joining the group, which was a major event, and Zhu Dunru had no reason to monopolize it alone. Therefore, regarding the rapid development of the Continental Army, all the bigwigs here have actually received relevant information a long time ago and are well aware of it, but everyone did not expect that the results of the military's latest wargame deduction were more pessimistic than everyone imagined.
The military couldn't resist it for 48 hours, this result is indeed too exciting, hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested over the years in exchange for such a result, and for a while all the bigwigs were silent, silently thinking about their own thoughts. Now that the mountains and rains are about to come, how should they choose to be in line with the interests of their own interest group, everyone has a small abacus in their hearts to play fast.
"President, since the military believes that we will not be able to resist the mainland's attack even if we are burned, I am personally inclined to negotiate with the mainland to solve the problem. There is no need for the Taiwan military to make senseless sacrifices. Song Yunong was the first to break his silence and propose, saying that he had always advocated that the two sides of the strait should be as close as possible so that Taiwan could more enjoy the benefits brought about by the mainland's economic progress, and that he was the most powerful mouthpiece of several giants in Taiwan's economic circles who actively advocated entering the mainland market, and of course he hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to negotiate with the mainland, and if peaceful reunification was possible, they would undoubtedly get the greatest peace dividends from it.
As soon as he opened his mouth to break the dull situation, it caused ripples as if a stone had been thrown on the surface of a calm lake.
Su Changyi, a bigwig of another party, cleared his throat and said, "I personally think we should be cautious, and it is important to find out the true intentions of the mainland now." Although Mr. Xie and his entourage have received a lot of powerful signals, I personally feel that it is not enough, whether the mainland has made up its mind, and the intelligence unit should take the initiative to find out, and it is really difficult to judge if there is no information at present, and we cannot panic because of the intimidation of the other side. β
Su Changyi is a representative of the independence faction on the island, and if there is still a possibility, he does not want to see Taiwan return like this.
"Mr. Su, the problem is that now we have no excuse or time to delay to further clarify the situation," Xie Heping said with a wry smile, "The mainland side has made its attitude very clear, either talk or fight, there is no third way to choose." If Mr. Su thinks that the military's deduction is not to be feared, we can ignore it. I don't know what will happen to the others, but if force is used, at least none of us here will end well. β
Hearing Xie Heping say this, all of you here are the bigwigs who have been in charge or have the opportunity to govern Taiwan, and they have the ability to call for wind and rain in Taiwan's political life, in other words, this is the capital for everyone to settle down, but once Taiwan falls into the hands of the other side after the war, these abilities and experiences are the root cause of trouble, and it is obvious that they will be taken as the priority object of eradication, although it is a modern society, there may not be physical destruction, but there will definitely be no chance to regain power in this life.
For these people who make a living from politics, they cannot stand at the peak of political power, and that is already an extremely cruel future.
What's more, the mainland has also issued a threat to liquidate war criminals, and if they can't save everyone from prison, even if it is an independent faction like Su Changyi, he won't be open when he hears Xie Heping's words. Dedicating oneself to one's ideals is an obsession that can only be found in youth, and there are still a few people here who will be so naΓ―ve.
"Everyone is begging for a living in the same boat, although you will inevitably fight on weekdays, but it is always on the same boat" Seeing that everyone did not speak, Zhu Dunru opened his mouth and said, "If this boat is gone, what is the point of our fight?" It is because I have decided to talk to the other side of the strait to ensure the existence of this big ship on Taiwan Island, and only then can we have a future for everyone. I hope that everyone can put the overall situation in mind at this extraordinary moment, let the wind out appropriately, and guide their respective supporters to understand our suffering. β
It is a pity that the facts are always unsatisfactory, and the fact that this matter of negotiating reunification with the mainland side was slightly unleashed, and it immediately set off an uproar.
The Americans could not sit still, and if things continued on this trajectory, they would completely deviate from the script they had begun to prepare, and not only would the so-called Northeast Asian missile defense system break through a big hole, but also the most important means of restraining China would also be lost, and the original containment would have turned into a reunification of the Chinese side.
In order to remedy this extremely unfavorable strategic shift for the United States and stop the process of China's reunification, the Americans began to use all kinds of tricks to interfere with the negotiations between the two sides, the most important of which was to bribe pro-independence figures inside Taiwan and try their best to mobilize the people to oppose the talks, and to fabricate and spread many false rumors to scare the people of Taiwan once they return, how the mainland will collapse Taiwan's economy and take away the hardships and happiness of the people on Taiwan.
These old-fashioned tricks were used to produce immediate results for the general public, and tens of thousands of people on Taiwan Island began to be agitated to negotiate with the Taiwan authorities.
At the same time, the Americans announced that they would dispatch two aircraft carrier squadrons to visit Asia, one with the USS Ford as the main carrier to visit the Philippines and the other with the USS Reagan as the main to visit the Japanese Invaders.
With such a powerful military formation, the US military's intention is obvious, which is to cheer up the Taiwan independence faction and deter China.
Although the CIA's intelligence shows that China's military strength is growing by leaps and bounds, the US military still does not believe that China's strength can compete with such a powerful lineup at this moment. This cognitive bias quickly had extremely serious consequences.
