Chapter 2592
Tao Hongfang and others had also studied international history in their early years and were no strangers to the situation of the North-South division. They immediately thought that the inspiration for the Executive Committee's deployment might have come from the internal North-South confrontation in Annan.
At that time, the Annan Kingdom fell into a civil war. Thanks to the help of Haihan sent troops, the Zheng's armed forces in the north finally defeated the Hue small court in the south and successfully unified Annan.
However, no matter how knowledgeable and talented Tao Hongfang and others were, they would never have imagined that the inspiration of the Executive Committee did not come from Annan, but from the history of the Korean Peninsula itself. It was only with the help of the international situation that such a special situation was achieved hundreds of years in advance.
That's all.
Without waiting for Shi Chengwu to give a detailed introduction, Tao Hongfang and others had already thought of the many obvious benefits that this state of dividing the north and the south could bring to Haihan.
After the division of the North and the South, the rulers on both sides will be greatly dependent on Haehan. Otherwise, once he falls out of favor, Haehan is likely to support his competitors to replace him. If the North Korean court could still negotiate with Haehan on many issues,
If they engage in bargaining, the space left for them to negotiate terms has been greatly reduced.
The resistance that Haihan had encountered before in terms of garrisoning troops, commerce, culture, education, and finance in North Korea were all solved with the emergence of the North-South divide. Even in the selection and appointment of officials, North Korea now has to look at Haihan's eyes.
.
After transforming Korea into a relatively obedient vassal state, Haihan was able to allocate part of the resources deployed in Korea to pacify and govern the large areas of territory Haihan had recently acquired from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Bai Letong said: "If the situation in North Korea is as Brother Chengwu said, then this country can no longer pose a threat to Haihan."
Shi Chengwu nodded and said: "Although North Korea is still an ally of our country in name, its status cannot be on an equal footing with ours. A submissive vassal state is the most suitable. Perhaps in a few generations, we will be able to
After the other side has been completely assimilated into our country, it is only natural that it be annexed."
Most of their generation were born in the early 1930s. When they first entered elementary school, Haihan had already formed an alliance with North Korea. Their knowledge of this neighboring country came from their fathers' generation, and there was no sense of awe at all. Haihan
Whether they will annex North Korea at some point in the future, in their opinion, is just a matter of waiting for a suitable opportunity and completing the matter in a peaceful manner as much as possible, which can also save a lot of trouble.
Of course, the one who has the most say among them is Wang Anguo. The man who led the Haihan fleet to Seoul and forced the Korean king Li Zhu to sign the treaty was his father Wang Tom. Later, Haihan sent troops to Korea to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
After the military invasion, the establishment of the Datong River military base, and a series of subsequent cooperation projects between the two countries, most of them also involved Wang Tom.
Regarding the various situations in Korea, Wang Anguo should have obtained more information than others from a very young age, and he was also the only one among those present who had visited Korea many times.
Wang Anguo said: "Korean people are actually quite like Japanese people in some aspects, such as fearing power but not being immoral, being tough but not being soft. The more you treat them around, the more they feel that they are valued.
Therefore, although our country signed an alliance with North Korea, it was actually treated as a vassal state from the beginning. At that time, North Korea was suffering from internal and external troubles, and it really needed our country to provide military protection, so we hit it off. The Ministry of National Defense had previously prepared to transfer Datong to Datong.
Some of the troops garrisoned at Jiang Base were mobilized to the direction of Liaodong. The North Koreans were worried about our withdrawal and even signed a letter requesting that our country continue to garrison troops."
Tao Hongfang smiled and said: "So they are actually not averse to accepting our jurisdiction?"
Wang Anguo said: "There were still some North Korean officials who opposed our country's intervention in the past, but after the palace coup in 1938, we purged all these people. I believe you have seen what happened next in Sanya.
There are very few North Korean officials who come to study abroad. After these people return to North Korea, their governing ideas will naturally be influenced by our country to a great extent."
Shi Chengwu continued: "So in recent years, our country's influence in North Korea has been increasing day by day. Even measures such as the establishment of North-South partition have not encountered too strong opposition in North Korea. We have sent troops from time to time.
If the fleet goes over and cruises along the coastline of the Korean Peninsula to demonstrate our country’s military power, the North Koreans will be less likely to be dissatisfied.”
For a few people from Sanya, they did not have such direct information channels in the past about the measures Haihan had taken against other countries. Although they had read relevant content in some written materials, they were not as good as Wang Anguo.
The person involved like Shi Chengwu explained it in detail, which made me feel very fresh.
Tao Hongfang thought of a detail and asked curiously: "Since our country has implemented the North-South division of Korea, if there is a conflict between the North and the South and our country needs to make the decision, where can we appeal? Will officials from both sides be sent to Hangzhou?"
"
Shi Chengwu smiled and shook his head and replied: "Since it is partition, of course we must arrange a backer for each side of the north and the south. Behind Li Xie in the south is our Donghai Region, and behind Li Hao in the north is Chen Yixin from the Northern Region
grown ups."
Because Chen Yixin lives in the north, he has returned to Sanya less often than Shi Diwen, and is not so familiar with these young people who were born in Sanya and grew up on Hainan Island. As for the methods of this adult, most of their understanding comes from
There is no direct contact with various official documents.
Tao Hongfang said: "With this arrangement, aren't you worried that over time, conflicts will arise between the Northern Region and the East China Sea Region?"
Shi Chengwu waved his hand and said: "Actually, it's not the case. As long as you look at the map, you will know that the northern part of North Korea is adjacent to the Northern Region and is too far from the East China Sea Region. There will be many problems under our jurisdiction. If it is left to the Northern Region
On the contrary, the zone is more reasonable. As for the contradiction, the reason why we divide the North and the South is to create conflicts of interest between the northern and southern courts of Korea. If there is no conflict, how can they rely on us?"
Tao Hongfang suddenly said: "In other words, the conflicts between them were created by us, so no matter how fierce the fight is, it is still under the control of our country."
"That's right." Shi Chengwu nodded and approved Tao Hongfang's statement: "The situation we need is to maintain contradictions and conflicts between the north and the south of Korea. Of course, it is impossible for the Northern Region and the East China Sea Region to really mediate between them.
The problems between them will not affect the relationship between them."
