Lu Sou smiled and said, "That's about that."

"Will the superiors advance the Taiwan Strait War?"

"What do you think?"

"Me?" Mu Jieyang was stunned for a moment and said, "I am not a national leader and have never considered these issues.

"Col. You're too modest."

"Mr. Lu..."

"You can see the purpose of the United States and you will definitely think of our countermeasures." Lu Wen smiled and said, "From a military perspective alone, we should use this conflict to resolve the Taiwan Strait issue. Before the East China Sea Fleet came back, Mr. Huang made arrangements, but was eventually stopped."

"Stop?"

Lu Sou nodded and said, "The troops have gathered, so General Huang followed the flow and decided to carry out the exercise at the end of the month."

Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood. The troops participating in the exercise must have received the order long ago, but they were cancelled at the last moment.

"Obviously, the superiors must have the confidence to complete the Unification Third Session through peaceful means, otherwise the Taiwan Strait War would have broken out long ago."

"It is naturally better to achieve peaceful reunification."

"Indeed, war is the last resort to resolving internal conflicts."

Mu Haoyang breathed a sigh and said, "But these have nothing to do with us. As soldiers, we only need to do our part. When you go to Zhoushan tomorrow, will you go there?"

"I'll go a little later, I'm just a technical consultant anyway."

Mu Haoyang nodded and said nothing.

At this time, Huang Zhibo was discussing matters related to the armistice negotiations with Fu Xiubo and others in the head of state.

As Lu Sou said, the key is not Japan, but the United States.

The stop-straight line is just a manifestation of the problem, and the real contradiction lies in the Taiwan Strait issue.

Before the negotiations began, Wen Tinggui and Parks had a separate meeting. According to Parks, the United States could put pressure on Japan to allow Japan to accept the conditions offered by China, but China must ensure that the Taiwan Strait maintains the status quo and does not take any destructive actions.

Obviously, this exceeds China's bottom line.

Although China has long promised, and

Peaceful reunification is the main means to solve the Taiwan Strait problem.

As long as Taiwan does not cross the bottom line.

It would not take military action, but it never promised to give up the means of force. Politically speaking, China could not make the guarantees that Parks had asked.

What’s more important is that after so many years of development, the mainland has surpassed Taiwan in all aspects.

For the mainland, solving the Taiwan Strait issue is still a matter of time, but it seems more urgent. In the process of comprehensive rise, China must achieve unity and must achieve unity as soon as possible. Only a unified China can gain a greater say in the international community.

This is very similar to that of the United States.

Before the Civil War, the United States was just a powerful country on the North American continent and was still very far from world hegemony. After the Civil War, the United States gained the basis for challenging Britain.

Parks grasped this issue and his purpose was very clear: to prevent China from completing the great cause of reunification.

Now, the East China Sea issue is involved.

If the United States does not put pressure on Japan, or without the consent of the United States, Japan will definitely not make concessions on dividing the ceasefire line and the ownership of the Diaoyu Islands.

Even if the war does not ignite again, it will lay the root of disaster for the next war.

The choice before Fu Xiubo is very simple: either make concessions in the negotiations and hand over the military victory that he had finally achieved; or solve the Taiwan Strait problem once and for all, without leaving any conditions for clamping the United States.

The problem is that neither choice is ideal.

Although Liu Junshi came to Beijing secretly and discussed the great cause of national unification with Fu Xiubo, as a former leader, Liu Junshi was not able to dominate Taiwan's policies.

On June 11, after China and Japan announced a ceasefire, Taiwan increased its military vigilance.

To put it simply.

The best time to solve the Taiwan Strait problem through military means has passed. Starting a war now will inevitably cost a greater price.

In addition to military costs, political and diplomatic costs must also be considered.

The negative impact of the East China Sea conflict has emerged. For example, countries around the South China Sea have turned to the United States one after another. If another large-scale war is fought, China's diplomatic environment will definitely deteriorate seriously.

Even with the United States' international status, fighting three wars within five years will be subject to moral burdens.

Making concessions in the negotiations made Fu Xiubo even more unacceptable. After paying such a heavy price, he finally achieved military victory but lost completely at the negotiating table. Fu Xiubo must consider the negative impact, especially the impact on his leadership position.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very depressing, and everyone knew that Fu Xiubo had to choose between war and high-cost peace.

"For us, the best solution is to sign a truce treaty with Japan, without involving the Taiwan Strait issue." Fu Xiubo glanced at the leaders of the conference and said, "I spoke to Comrade Tinggui on the phone and emphasized our position. Two days later, Comrade Tinggui will propose a new solution, proposing to set disputed sea areas as co-managed areas, provided that Japan must recognize that we have sovereignty and administrative jurisdiction of the Diaoyu Islands. In order to increase the bargaining chips, we must take appropriate actions to send a clear signal to the United States and Japan."

"What action?" Yi Yuanchao asked.

Fu Xiubo smiled and looked at Huang Zhibo.

"On the 24th, we will hold a large-scale joint land, sea and air exercise in the Zhoushan Islands, and the Second Artillery will also participate. The exercise is mainly aimed at future large-scale wars, with more than 400,000 officers and soldiers participating. In order to enhance the significance of the exercise, we will invite military officers in more than 100 countries to visit and announce relevant news in a timely manner. Because it is aimed at future wars, our army will focus on using new weapons and equipment in the exercises, and conduct a confrontation between the red and blue armies, testing the major breakthroughs our army has made in the tactical field over the years."

"Let's bring out all your family?" Yi Yuanchao frowned.

"Only by letting the enemy know how powerful we are, can the enemy eliminate the evil intentions." Fu Xiubo answered for Huang Zhibo. This is my arrangement. If the United States makes concessions and no longer interferes in Taiwan and maritime affairs, we must show our skills."

"Is this too rash?" Yi Yuanchao gritted his teeth and said, "Basically speaking, our military strength is still far weaker than that of the United States. Letting the enemy know our family's assets is equivalent to letting the enemy know how to deal with us. If the United States does not make concessions, I'm afraid......"

"It will be difficult for the United States to win on the battlefield, especially near its homeland, for at least the next decade."

Yi Yuanchao glanced at Huang Zhibo, obviously not convinced him.

"It's very simple. The emergence of new technologies is also a major test for our army. In the environment of comprehensive electromagnetic warfare, our army's combat effectiveness has also been greatly affected. As the initiator of comprehensive electromagnetic warfare, I believe that the United States will not be able to make a major breakthrough until we find a solution."

"General Huang, you are so confident."

"This is not a matter of confidence, but...

Fu Xiubo pressed his hand and said, "For us, this is the only choice. If the United States refuses to make concessions, we will be forced to make concessions on the Taiwan Strait issue, or hand over the fruits of victory. Only by seizing this opportunity can we have the hope of achieving the most favorable results for us."
