?The hustle and bustle of Christmas is finally over, but the festive atmosphere of the streets of Khabarovsk has not been completely dispersed. Driving through the bustling Lenin Street, beautiful girls in gorgeous new clothes and splendid looks can be seen everywhere. Under this bustling cover, an unpleasant thing jumped into the eyelids of the Far East in the New Year scene after Christmas. /. qв5.

In the Far East news after the new year, what kind of topics are the most eye-catching? Without it, the territorial issue is the most eye-catching. The long border negotiation between China and Russia has just been finalized. Heixiazi Island is divided into two parts. The border checkpoint in the southern area of ​​the big island has been dismantled. A border checkpoint affiliated to the Chinese side has been set up.

Considering the political level, the media in the Far East are quite low-key in their reports on this matter. Except for a brief report by the Khabarovsk news station, there is almost no shadow of this incident in other media. Therefore, Well, this incident has not caused much repercussions in the Far East, and there are not many people discussing it.

But this time, the territorial dispute seems to be a little different. When the Japan-Russia negotiations are deadlocked, a government official in Japan has publicly launched a so-called inspection of the four southern islands of the Kuril Islands. The news was announced by TASS and immediately There was an uproar in the Far East, which also pushed Guo Shouyun, a giant in the Far East, to the forefront.

Just entering January, the Far East is completely cold, and in Shanguan Bay on Zeluo Island, a hint of spring warmth has spread quietly. Standing on the Gangnan Pier of Tianning Port, Guo Shouyun even felt that he could clearly smell the taste of spring. .

It has been almost ten years since he entered the Far East, but until today, Guo Shouyun is the first time he has set foot on the four southern islands of the Kuril Islands. To be honest, if the Japanese had not come to play suddenly, he would have been a giant in the Far East. Won't be wandering around here. For nothing else, just because of his special status, every move will have a great political impact. The most important thing is that at Christmas, he just made a public statement, expressing his intention to run for the next president of the Far Eastern Republic. It was at this time that Japan's Okinawa-Northern Minister Toshimitsu Motegi announced that he would visit the four northern islands. .

when I first got the news. Guo Shouyun tried to downplay it. Therefore, the media of the Far East did not see any reports on the relevant aspects. After all, the economic and trade cooperation between the Far East and Japan is becoming increasingly close. He does not want this incident to affect the international environment around the Far East. Furthermore, his relationship with the federal military is relatively tense now. If this matter becomes too noisy, it is likely to bring unnecessary trouble to the military community in the Far East. But the real problem is that he wants to downplay it. Some people just want to make a lot of noise about this matter. A TASS Newsletter published a news release, revealing the whole story. Facing the uproar of public opinion in the Far East, Guo Shouyun had to take his own position.

Select the island of Danguan Bay, which is a very famous place. In World War II, the combined fleet led by the famous Japanese naval admiral Yamamoto Gosoku came from here to attack Pearl Harbor in the United States. Now, this place has become an outpost naval base for the Far East Pacific Fleet. According to General Sironov, the strategic location of this place is very important. It is not only a shortcut for the Pacific Fleet to enter and leave the Pacific Ocean, but also guards a golden waterway rich in aquatic products. Furthermore, the air force coming out of the harbor. It only takes one dive to reach the sky over Tokyo, Japan. Short-range air strikes can make it too late for Japan to make any response. What are the Japanese going to do with homeland defense? It is necessary to engage in joint defense of Japan, the United States and South Korea, but as long as they cannot control the four southern islands of the Kuril, this so-called defense has no meaning for Russia.

In the sound of the long whistle, a frigate slowly left the dock and sprinted towards the endless ocean, and just above the place where it was heading, the small island-like aircraft carrier Minsk was quietly moored on the water. Up, in the rippling water, several speedboats were leaning on the side of the mothership, and it seemed that they were loading and unloading something.

"Shouyun," Sironov's complexion looked a little red after he took off a cigar. He unbuttoned the front button of his military coat three or two, and leaned close to Guo Shouyun and said, "It's cold at the command post. But it's very hard, you don't wear much, so be careful of catching a cold."

"Well," Guo Shouyun nodded, turned and walked towards the small white building a dozen meters away.

"General." Stepping into the main entrance of the command post. Guo Shouyun looked back at the harbor again. That's what he said thoughtfully. "You're an old man in the fleet. From Vladivostok. How long will it take to get to this single crown bay. Have you calculated?"

"It depends on how you left." Sironov replied without thinking. "If it's by plane. It'll be there in less than three hours. If it's by boat. Then maybe. What are you asking about?"

"Nothing. Just ask casually." Guo Shouyun shrugged. said casually.

"Haha. Speaking of which. I am also irresponsible, the admiral of the fleet." He put one hand on Guo Shouyun's shoulder. Sironov laughed. "You might not believe it. From ninety-one years. Nearly nine years. It's the first time I've come back to this place."

"Oh?" Guo Shouyun was stunned.

"That's the reason. I'm sure you know that." Sironov shook his head and smiled. "On the one hand. The fleet is underfunded. The port here is good. Even the command facility. There is simply not enough funds for maintenance. You can see it. It's just this dilapidated port. It was just overhauled the year before. If you push the time forward a few years, the equipment here is completely unusable. So I also came to look at it lazily. On the other hand, these few add up. But the international status is too sensitive. The Japanese are watching. The Americans are watching. The Chinese are also thinking. I am a timid person. I don't want to cause any trouble. Therefore, I will try my best not to come to this kind of place if I don't come. But this time the situation is different. Haha. You've made an early bird. At best, I'm just a follower. To have such an opportunity to come and see. I won't miss it no matter what."

"You're still in the mood to tell jokes at this time," Guo Shouyun said with a stern look at the old man, "Do you know how much I paid for this move? Several major Japanese investment projects It was withdrawn, and the Anna Line project was also aborted. Turning around, there were always voices criticizing me. Last night, Washington made a special call to make trouble. They thought my handling of this matter was too extreme. It is not conducive to the stability of the regional situation.”

"The stability of the regional situation? Go to hell," Sironov said disapprovingly, leading Guo Shouyun into the conference room, "In the eyes of the Americans, what we do is not conducive to the stability of the regional situation, Japan. People who land on this island today and that island tomorrow will not affect the stability of the regional situation. We are just transferring the fleet to our own military port, which is a bit dangerous to think that it will affect the stability of the regional situation," Guo Shouyunle said. Now, he stretched out his hand and pulled over a chair to sit down, Erlang's legs twitched, he shook his head and smiled, "political issues are not calculated like this, I can't tell you clearly."

"I'm not interested in political issues," Sironov said disapprovingly, waving his big hand, "I'm a soldier, and since I'm a soldier, I naturally have to think about things with the mind of a soldier. Besides, as you can see, During this period of time, the people in the Far East are in high spirits, and I heard from Ryomenko that your approval rating is continuing to rise..."

"Let's not talk about those issues," Guo Shouyun said, interrupting the old general's words, "For me, it's the same thing with the approval rate, and it's the same thing without the approval rate. There's nothing worth paying attention to. , or the attitude of the Moscow military."

In fact, even if he didn't say Sironov, he could see this. During this period of time, in the face of the turmoil caused by the Okinawa-Northern Minister of Japan, Guo Shouyun's stance was very tough and unprecedented. On the one hand, as the presidential candidate of the Far Eastern Republic, he publicly criticized the Japanese government's actions, on the other hand The aircraft carrier formation of the Minsk was transferred to Shanguan Bay, and at the same time, he also inspected the defense of the four islands before Motegi Toshimitsu. This series of tough practices is not intended to be seen by the Far East, but to be seen by the federal military, which has an increasingly tough attitude. Sironov knew that with the expansion of his ambitions, Guo Shouyun was no longer satisfied with the control of the Far East military. He wanted to go out and establish close ties with the federal military.

During this period of time, the Guo Group's war against Yuan and Chechnya has entered the countdown, and in this case, the Guo Group provided a military loan of four billion US dollars to the Federal Ministry of Defense, although the money was eventually spent In the Far East military enterprises, in the final analysis, it has contributed to the equipment update of the two major military regions of the Federation. Furthermore, the Ministry of Defense and the Kremlin have reached a consensus that in April, Moscow will hold a military parade since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, and 70% of the cost of this military parade will be paid by the Guo Group. which provided.

Sironov has always held a view that in this world, money is not omnipotent, but now, his view is changing subtly, as can be seen from Guo Shouyun, This money is mainly used correctly and well, and it may really be omnipotent.
