Chapter 1120, Asian expansion
After deciding on the trade community, the discussion of the military community was immediately followed.
Wu Shaoting particularly emphasized that although it is also called a "community", the military community and the trade community will be two completely different forms and concepts.[]
Strictly speaking, Wu Shaoting has considerable selfish intentions in the military community. Since he can initiate trade cooperation selflessly and drive the common development of the four countries, in order to ensure that the Republic of China is always the "big brother", it is natural to lay the groundwork from another direction.
He started his business through military affairs so he is very clear about the role of iron-blooded power. He lets Vietnam, North Korea, and Ryukyu develop their economies by himself, but he will never let these countries think they can wait until they are full of wings to challenge China. Therefore, in this military community plan, he secretly restricted it in many aspects, allowing China to give priority to military development and provide security guarantees for community member states.
It is mainly divided into three aspects. One is to establish a common security zone on land and sea, which means that member countries in the common security zone can jointly deploy defenses. In fact, with the current military strength, only the Chinese team has the ability to participate in the common security zone. On the contrary, other countries can only establish a common security zone and invite the Chinese team to deploy defenses here.
There are five common security areas signed with the agreement, namely the Korean Strait Guard Area, the Kagoshima Strait Guard Area, the Southern Waters Guard Area of Ryukyu Kingdom, the Vietnam Waters Guard Area, and the Higher-League Border Guard Area. The Higher-League Border Guard Area is currently the only land-surface security area, referred to as the Three Realms Guard Area.
The second aspect is to gather the productivity and social resources of the four industries, and under the coordination of the Asian Trade Center, it is used to reasonably plan and develop the four affairs forces and establish a complete military resource allocation system.
Of course, Wu Shaoting's move was to use the concentrated four-level resources to transfer most of these resources to the development of China-level affairs. The Asian military system he wanted to establish was to highlight China's military strength and gradually shoulder the responsibility of defending the four countries, weakening the local military forces of Vietnam, North Korea, Ryukyu and other countries to only have internal security functions, such as the future US National Guard and China's armed police force.
Therefore, the system of the common security zone will not disappear, but will gradually expand the area and increase the number in the future.
The third aspect is to establish the Joint Staff of the Four Nations. All the power of this Joint Staff comes from the "Military Community". Unlike the General Staff of the British and Japanese Allied Forces, the Joint Staff of the Four Nations will not only formulate a unified strategic plan, but will also undertake the internal affairs of each team. In other words, the Joint Staff of the Four Nations represents to a certain extent the highest military management agency of the Four Nations, and its power is even higher than the national defense agencies of each country in a specific environment.
However, this kind of finalization cannot be completed by just a treaty. Wu Shaoting knew very well that as long as these countries did not buy it, the Joint Staff of the Four Nations would still be useless. Therefore, this requires a process to slowly promote it, slowly strengthen the influence of the Joint Staff, and finally achieve the expected results.
In order to integrate geographical factors of various countries, the Joint Staff of the Four Nations is set up in Keelung, Taiwan, and the official name is "Joint Military Staff of the Asia and the Pacific Region", referred to as "Joint Asia-Pacific Consultant".
The reason why it does not claim to be the Asian trade center like the Trade Community is to appear low-key and not dare to represent the entire Asia by the military forces of the four countries. After all, trade is not directly threatening, but if the military is too arrogant, it will always make too many enemies. Therefore, the word "region" is added to conceal the fact that this organization is just a regional common defense organization.
Although the terms of this military community were inappropriate at the beginning, for Vietnam, North Korea and Ryukyu, a military cooperation treaty with China was signed as early as the restoration of the country. Moreover, with the current national strength of the three countries, they would not be able to maintain the regime without relying on the Chinese army. There are warlords of all sizes in Vietnam everywhere, and the North Korean army must be trained by China. The Ryukyu Kingdom has nothing. What else can be done except cooperate with China?
What's more, since China has moved out of the military community and the "Joint Asia-Pacific Joint Sponsor", to a certain extent, it is to equalize the military systems of the four countries, so that the four countries at least show equality in their nominal terms, which always gives enough face.
So everyone quickly determined the plan for the military community, and the heads of the four countries signed the plan.
According to the plan, the four-way community will officially take effect on September 5, which marks the excessive development of emerging Asian countries into an integrated political system and also means the birth of a new military alliance.
After the meeting ended, the heads of the four countries returned to the guesthouse to rest. Wu Shaoting asked his staff about the preparations for tomorrow's morning press conference on the way to the Zhang family villa.
"Don't worry, the head of state, everything is ready. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, the public conference room of the provincial government building has been confirmed to be held."
"Very good, I believe this press conference will definitely have a major impact."
When he returned to the Zhang family villa, Wu Shaoting was in a good mood. Although it was all night, he still joked with Zhang Xiaoya and Feng Yanan, and then had a little late supper with a big appetite. He knew that this time the Four-Country Community was just a gimmick, and the one who was really involved in the behind-the-scenes was still China, but this will set a starting point for the establishment of the Asian Community. Perhaps in more than 20 years or more than 30 years, this integrated project will inevitably be realized.
His purpose is not simply the common development of Asia. Although "development" is indeed included, the most important thing is to establish a huge political group with China as the core. He wants to build China into a star in this political group, and other member states and dependent countries are planets or even satellites around stars.
The world is changing, and colonization or invasion is no longer the mainstream trend of expansion of major powers. As nationalism and sovereignty become stronger, the old expansion model must change. It is like Britain spreading colonies all over the world, which seems to be very strong in rule, but with the rapid development of technology, Britain will soon have an unmatched dilemma. Rather than this, it is better to pay attention to geopolitics and gather the circle of power within a region. This is the truth of the Asian community.
