"Hello, President Lin, I'm very happy to see you again." Zou Qinan stretched out his hands with a smile on his face and was ready to shake Lin Shenyu warmly, his heart was really happy that Taiwan Island had made a choice. As the actual person in charge of Taiwan's affairs, Zou Qinan naturally knows all about several leading figures in Taiwan's administration. Although the person who followed Lin Shenyu had not yet been introduced, Zou Qinan had already recognized him.

Xie Heping is Zhu Dunru's most important assistant, and it is rumored that this senior staff member can be almost half of Zhu Dunru's master. Of course, Zou Qinan has also heard this legend, although it sounds a bit exaggerated, but the intelligence from the inside shows that Xie Heping did have a great influence on Zhu Dunru on major issues such as governing policies and guidelines.

This person came to Lin Shenyu, of course, to explore the way, and the Taiwan side seems to be ready to soften.

This plan, which originally seemed unreliable, drawn up by the General Staff Headquarters, has already achieved results today, and it is of course great to be able to reunify by peaceful means, although the road ahead is still very long, but since the other side has taken a crucial step, the next thing is nothing more than a matter of bargaining.

"Director Zou, hello," Lin Shenyu also smiled and stretched out his hand to clasp Zou Qinan tightly, "This is Mr. Xie Heping, I came here today mainly to talk to Director Zou about the Taiwan issue." Lin Shenyu didn't go around in circles, anyway, the bosses decided to soften, so there was no need to dodge and make people laugh.

"Mr. Xie, I have admired the name for a long time, welcome and welcome." Zou Qinan turned his head and said to Xie Heping with a smile as he stretched out his hands.

Like Zou Qinan, although he only met Zou Qinan for the first time today, he privately studied this member of the Politburo in charge of Taiwan affairs on the mainland; Zou Qinan spent his early years on the diplomatic front, and worked until he was the executive deputy minister at the ministerial level before he was transferred to the post of director of the Taiwan Affairs Office, and then he further entered the Politburo at the core of the mainland's power, and concurrently served as the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office with a state councilor, responsible for specific work on Taiwan.

It can be said that on the issue of Taiwan Island, Zou Qinan is the most influential figure except for several members of the Standing Committee of the mainland, and in view of the fact that the Standing Committee of the mainland has its own division of labor and will not get involved in work outside the division of labor in his spare time, Zou Qinan is actually the main person on the mainland who deals with Taiwan Island.

"I have admired Director Zou's name for a long time, and I only had the opportunity to meet him today, which is really a blessing for Xie Mou's three lives." Xie Heping lowered his posture, after all, the current situation is pressing, and he still expects to bring back a good condition for Zhu Dunru, and it is obviously unwise to offend a real power figure like Zou Qinan.

But after the greetings, the two sides did not get along so well.

"Director Zou, we have no opinion on military and political reunification, but the situation on Taiwan Island is different from that on Hong Kong Island, and due to well-known historical reasons, a large number of military personnel have now been formed on Taiwan Island, and they are related to the security and order of Taiwan Island, and we hope to be able to preserve it." Xie Heping said, "Otherwise, they will lose a lot of jobs and have no skills, which will also be a huge shock to Taiwan." ”

"Therefore, for the sake of the stable transition of Taiwan Island, we hope that the central government can take into account the actual situation of Taiwan Island and give special treatment to special problems.

Although Xie Heping's statement seems reasonable, in fact it is not, and this has a bearing on the selfishness and vigilance of the Taiwan side, which is to retain military strength and not to go to the island, and to put it bluntly, it is still maintaining the status quo in substance, and it is only a small step forward in name.

As far as the leaders of Taiwan are concerned, this is of course a good result that is worth working on; under the circumstances that reunification is inevitable today, they will feel more secure if they can keep the army and politely refuse the PLA to go to the island; otherwise, even if the conditions are negotiated, there will be no room for resistance in case the other side changes his mind. This is a very important chip, although it now seems to have been greatly weakened by the disparity in strength.

However, there is too much difference between having and not having it, and if it were not for the fact that there is still this force, the leaders of Taiwan believe that the other side will not negotiate any conditions with them at all.

Therefore, after the previous political and economic discussions were quite harmonious, Xie Heping adopted a persistent attitude on this point.

"This is impossible," Zou Qinan flatly refused, "national defense and foreign affairs must belong to the central government, and there is no room for negotiation on this issue." "If Taiwan continues to maintain its military independence, then it is nothing more than a nominal assumption. So, on this issue, there is no room for compromise.

However, what Xie Heping said is not completely unreasonable, there are hundreds of thousands of military groups on Taiwan Island, and it is true that they cannot be disbanded directly, because that will cause a big mess, and it is indeed not a way for these soldiers to suddenly pour into society and become idle people.

Fortunately, Zou Qinan has already had a plan for this problem, "but we have also considered the military team on Taiwan Island, they can be downgraded to a paramilitary team, similar to the armed police in the mainland, to maintain local security, and then gradually reduce to meet the needs of Taiwan's internal defense, but it is certainly impossible to equip fighters, tanks and other heavy weapons, and Taiwan's national defense and security must be handed over to the People's Liberation Army to take over." ”

"There is no need to worry about the policy changes of the central government, for the future Taiwan Island Special Economic Zone, the central government is the talker, and you can also see on Hong Kong Island, the central government has fulfilled its promises to the letter, and not only that, when Hong Kong Island encounters difficulties and challenges, the central government is also a strong backing for the Special Economic Zone, sheltering the SAR from the wind and rain." Zou Qinan knew what the worries of the Taiwan side were, and he had already considered their concerns.

"In terms of political status, the central government attaches more importance to Taiwan than Hong Kong Island, and the relevant policies can also be more relaxed on the basis of the Basic Law of Hong Kong Island, and we consider allowing the future leaders of the Taiwan Special Administrative Region to directly concurrently serve as vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and better participate in the country's political life and decision-making."

Compared with Hong Kong Island, which needs to step down in order to enjoy this treatment, it is indeed a great progress, and it seems that Taiwan Island has a higher political status in the country than Hong Kong Island. Although the vice chairman of the CPPCC is a retreat position, it is still at the level of a state-level leader in the mainland's political system. This treatment can make Taiwan appear naturally half a level higher than other administrative regions.

However, Xie Heping needs more than this, he also wants more than that.
