Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 154 Comprehensive Challenge

The book brought the tea in, and Zhao Rundong took out a red portion from the safe

"Li Cunxun sent it tonight..." Zhao Rundong handed the document to Wang Yuanqing and said, "It was the order I issued. Including you and me, there will be no more than five people who know the contents of this document."

When he opened the document, Wang Yuanqing immediately showed a look of shock.

"100% reliable, it was all explained by Nobukawa Iwasaki." Zhao Rundong picked up the teacup, smiled coldly, and said, "Murakami Satoshi is a very ambitious politician, and not an ordinary ambition. From an objective standpoint, we have to admit that Murakami Satoshi is a very outstanding politician because he puts the interests of the country and the nation before his personal interests. But from our standpoint, Murakami Satoshi is the most difficult enemy to deal with."

"Three years!" Wang Yuanqing exclaimed, "For us, this is the last time to prepare."

"To be precise, it will definitely be three years." Zhao Rundong took two sips of tea and said, "The better our army performed in the Peninsula War, the greater the pressure on Japan, the more obvious the deterrent effect is. It will also prompt Japan to speed up and strive to start a war before we are ready. No matter how we deal with it, the scale of this war will not be much smaller and have a profound impact. If we win, we will have a bright future; if we lose, all our efforts over the years will be wasted. We cannot afford to lose, nor can we lose."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "I will lose."

"It depends on our preparation." Zhao Rundong's expression was very serious. "The United States is far away on the other side of the earth. Due to factors such as national conditions, political system, public opinion basis, cultural thought, etc., the struggle between the United States and us is more reflected in the "spokesperson" war and will not rashly have direct conflicts with our country. The United States' performance in the Peninsula War is enough to illustrate the basic policy of the United States. South Korea is just a clown, and its economic strength, technological strength, and military strength are far from our opponents, and at most it causes some trouble for us. Before we have enough capital to fight the United States in a comprehensive confrontation, Japan is our most direct and main threat. Of course, India cannot underestimate it."

"For us, the biggest advantage is knowing what Japan is going to do and how to do it."

Zhao Dong nodded. "This is an advantage that is not enough to bring us final victory. Some time ago, I have been discussing the shortcomings and disadvantages of our army exposed in the Peninsula War with Lao Peng to discuss the future construction of our army. Overall, our army's combat effectiveness is worthy of recognition, and the problem is also prominent. Overall, the biggest problem of our army is still joint combat. In the first battle, the army showed extremely strong joint combat capabilities, causing extremely heavy casualties to our army. So far, more than 80% of the casualties of the army are related to the US army! Although our army also demonstrated strong joint combat capabilities in combat, it can only be used to deal with opponents like the South Korean army. When fighting with the US army, the problems of our army are still very obvious. This is also the main reason why I proposed to carry out military reforms as soon as possible. Only by effectively integrating our army's combat capabilities can we defeat enemies that are stronger than South Korea in future battles."

"The key is personnel adjustment."

"This is also the problem I am dealing with." Zhao Rundong smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will solve this most important problem before leaving office. Besides, I will deal with this matter. Lao Peng will not be at ease."

"President Peng?"

"What do you think he hasn't been to the General Staff Department these days?" Zhao Rundong smiled and said. "The disobedient people will always be a minority. Most soldiers put the interests of the country and the nation first. The Pingze incident just made the landworms in this part of the army appear in their true form. We have a target for rectifying the land."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said nothing.

Zhao Rundong's words made Wang Yuanqing realize that the head of state already knew that he and the "Young Sect" were united.

"No matter who it is, as long as it is against the country, the result will not be much better." Zhao Rundong paused for a moment and said, "But, you cannot hit the whole ship with one stick. Regardless of origin, background, identity, and as long as you serve the country wholeheartedly, you are an excellent soldier. Most members of any interest group are for the country and nation, but they have different starting points, different ideas, and different methods. As a national leader, you must not only crack down on those who are disobedient, but also protect those who serve the country.

Only by cleverly using various favorable factors can we truly master the army and build an invincible and unparalleled heroic army."

Wang Yuanqing spoke out loudly, and he was very clear about the meaning of Zhao Rundong's words and also understood Zhao Rundong's intention.

Although the "family factions" in the army often deliberately attack other factions in order to protect their own interests, as long as they are beneficial to the country, they should be reserved and should not be eliminated in one fell swoop. Another meaning of Zhao Rundong's words is that leaders should not participate too much in the internal struggle of the army, nor should they make interests with a certain group.

"The enemy has left us with less than three years," Zhao Rundong patted the armrest of the sofa and said, "Old Ji called two days ago and asked me if I had any plans to travel the country with him after retirement."

"Old Ji?"

Zhao Rundong nodded with a smile. "To be honest, I only now understand why Lao Ji didn't seek re-election back then, but left the capital in a very casual manner. No matter how powerful it is, whoever can sit here for ten years will have the same idea. If I really choose, I would not accept Lao Ji's arrangements back then.



Wang Yuanqing was secretly shocked and immediately reacted.

Ji Youguo took the initiative to join Rundong, not to let Zhao Rundong live a free life with him after retirement, but to let Zhao Rundong not interfere with the next government and be the resigned head of office.

"How about it, tell me what you think."

"I..." Wang Yuanqing sighed secretly and said, "It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster. The enemy put the knife on our chests. What choice do we have? More than two years are enough for us to prepare for war and also enough for us to find the most ideal way to win."

"But we have to start now, and we should at least have a clear purpose."

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "The big threat is Japan, not India. The national conditions of the two countries are very different. India is a country that is content with the status quo, with sufficient resources and development space, and domestic problems are far more acute than foreign conflicts. As long as we do not actively create conflicts, the conflict with India will not intensify. Even if India actively creates conflicts, we can use Pakistan to stop the escalation of the contradictions. In addition, the psychological blow caused by the Fourth India-Pakistan War on India, as long as we act as we do, we can scare India away."

"It must be put in enough stance to stop India from challenging us in the stupidest way."

"This needs to be decided based on the actual situation. The overall needle is to avoid fighting on both sides, suppress India through deterrence and other means, concentrate the power in the east, and first solve Japan." Wang Yuanqing took out the cigarette, and was a little late.

"Go ahead, don't worry about me."

Lighting the cigarette, Wang Yuanqing said: "The basis for Japan's development is expansion. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has not stopped expanding to the outside world. After World War II, Japan expanded outward in the fields of economy, resources, culture, etc., and strived to gain a broader living space. It must be noted that for a country with a land area of ​​only 370,000 square kilometers, Japan not only does not restrict fertility, but instead encourages the people's fertility. Although Japan's reason is to solve the problem of population aging, it is impossible to use Japan's resources.

Feeding so many people. The ultimate goal of encouraging childbirth is not to solve the aging population, but to reserve human resources for Japan's external expansion. With nuclear weapons and having tasted the sweetness in the Dokdo War, when Japan takes the second step is only a matter of time. History has repeatedly proved that when Japan embarks on the road of expansion, if we cannot take positive and decisive measures, we will eventually become the biggest victim. Therefore, we must concentrate our efforts to eliminate the Japanese threat, even if we fight a full-scale war with Japan."

“Can war completely solve the problem?”

Wang Yuanqing frowned slightly.

"In Afghanistan, which has a population of only 20 million, the United States has fallen into a big blow. Can we win in Japan?" Zhao Rundong smiled faintly and said, "War is only a means, not an end. No matter what happens, safeguarding national interests and creating a better development environment for the nation is always our highest goal. If a single means cannot solve the problem, we have to consider using other means. Of course, the forms of war are rich and diverse, not only the battle on the battlefield is war. For national interests and national interests, struggle in other fields is also war. Only by choosing the most appropriate means to solve the problem can we achieve the goal in the most ideal way!"

Wang Yuanqing nodded and said, "This is for sure, at least we cannot move forward with our baggage."

"That's true. No matter what we are like, we cannot carry a heavy burden, and we have no reason to cause trouble for ourselves." Zhao Rundong laughed, "It seems that you have thought more deeply than me, and you are very clear about the direction you are going forward in the future. I asked the secretary to prepare a midnight snack and eat it before leaving."

Wang Yuanqing did not refuse because he had not finished reading the documents in his hand.

According to the top-secret information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, Japan and India have come together again for a common purpose and are ready to join forces to challenge the common enemy.

This is definitely an unprecedented huge challenge for the Republic.

When the secretary sent the late night snack, Wang Yuanqing finished reading the documents. Zhao Rundong seemed very careful and locked the documents into the safe.

After talking about some "irrelevant" matters, Wang Yuanqing said goodbye and left.

No one can tell what the future will be like! (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
