To be honest, in the face of the strong technological strength of Emerald Island, South Korea can be said to have no resistance in this regard.
From another perspective, in today's world, who can compete with Emerald Island in terms of technological strength?
It can only be said that South Korea’s luck is so bad that it accidentally provokes the opponent and is deliberately targeted by the opponent, which has reduced it to the embarrassing situation it is now.
The South Korean national leaders present, facing Lee Jae-yong's serious eyes, couldn't help lowering their heads, feeling quite helpless in their hearts.
"President Lee!"
Just as the atmosphere was depressed, the Minister of Defense Lee Jang-soo, who was sitting at the end, suddenly raised his head, his face full of firmness and said: "I think the Republic of Korea has come to face life and death and has to make changes! "
Lee Jang-soo's remarks caused the other leaders present to be taken aback, and their expressions were a little puzzled.
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Li Jae-yong's expression remained unchanged, but there was a slight look of expectation in his voice.
From the other party's words, he faintly heard some meanings that fit his ideas.
"Emerald Island has targeted us over and over again. Although we have not used force, we have already touched our core interests. This is no different from the use of force. Therefore, I think we have to fight back!"
As a militant and a representative of the hawks, Lee Jang-soo has always advocated the development and expansion of military strength, and wants to take advantage of the Pacific chaos to expand the country’s territorial waters and radiate the influence of the Republic of Great Cold to the world. local!
However, it is a pity that in recent years, the national policy has always been biased towards harmonious development and not taking the line of military expansion, which makes Lee Jang-soo quite helpless.
In his view, the great Republic of Korea has historically been able to radiate power to the entire hinterland of the Chinese mainland and even the powerful countries in the Arctic Circle of Russia. However, under the control of weak monarchs in modern times, its national power is declining and it is second in the world. The great ancient civilized country can only survive in a small peninsula. This is really an unacceptable shame!
Therefore, since he came to power, he has always advocated taking the route of military expansion, but in the end there was no result.
Now, seeing the little Emerald Island, jumping up and down under his eyelids, he, as the Minister of National Defense, is even more overwhelmed.
And taking advantage of this opportunity, he finally said what he had always wanted to say.
"Strike back with force?"
Upon hearing Lee Jang-soo's remarks, the faces of the leaders present changed drastically!
Hearing what the other party meant, he obviously wanted to conquer Emerald Island by force!
The Republic of Great Coldness has been established for so many years, it seems that it has never been so proactive in military operations!
But this is also the case, their actual combat capabilities have yet to be tested. Without sufficient combat experience and combat capabilities, even if they are taken outside, can they really defeat their opponents?
Moreover, this is not the most important thing!
The dispatch of troops to the Emerald Island is definitely going to cause an uproar in the international arena, and it is very likely that this will push the entire South Korea into international accusations.
Moreover, the current Emerald Island is no longer the small island with only technological strength before. The opponent's fleet strength has been perfectly confirmed in the previous raid!
Even if they defeated only a small fleet of pirates, they should not be underestimated!
Under all thoughts, almost all national leaders disagree with Lee Jang-soo’s plan, which will push South Korea into an abyss that cannot be undone!
"Minister Li, your proposal is too dangerous. This will push the Republic of Great Coldness into the abyss. I absolutely disagree with this approach!"
President Park Mu Geun was the first to express his own opposition.
"I don't agree!"
"disagree!"
...
In this way, other leaders also expressed their opposition to Lee Jang-soo's proposal.
Hearing other people's objections, Lee Jang-soo's expression did not change. In fact, he had heard this objection more than once, so he was not surprised.
He just looked calmly at Li Jae-yong in the main position, and quietly waited for the other's opinions. This is the most important thing!
"Everyone, be quiet!"
Seeing other leaders who hadn't said a word but suddenly expressed their opposition, Li Jae-yong frowned slightly and said in a low voice.
"I think everyone might have misunderstood what Minister Li meant. Minister Li's real intention is definitely not to send troops to the Emerald Island, right?"
Having said this, Li Jae-yong suddenly raised his head and glanced at Li Jang-soo, with a touch of meaning in his eyes.
"Uh... yes, I actually just want to warn Emerald Island by showing military strength, so that he will not infringe our country's core interests." Seeing the look of Lee Jae Rong's eyes, Lee Jang-soo immediately understood what the other party meant. Explained a bit.
"That's right! Emerald Island's actions have completely threatened our country's core interests. This is unacceptable anyway! For this reason, I think it is necessary to warn the other party!"
With Lee Jang-soo's words, Lee Jae-yong set the tone for this meeting.
In fact, Lee Jae-yong has always been an unwavering supporter of taking the route of military expansion.
However, although he has great influence in national affairs, it is by no means such a simple thing to develop the military and send troops out, and many obstacles need to be overcome.
Therefore, he has been unable to speak out face to face about this matter.
Fortunately, after Lee Jang-soo’s proposal just now, he found a breakthrough!
From the day when he became the president of Samsung, the idea of military expansion was born in his mind, but he suffered from a lot of resistance.
However, Emerald Island hit Samsung severely one after another, leading to a rapid decline in domestic economic strength and increasingly acute domestic contradictions. Almost all citizens are accusing Samsung of unfavorable development, which has even caused the Republic of Korea to fall into the altar.
If such a sharp domestic contradiction cannot be dealt with in time, it is likely to cause political instability and other uncontrollable bad events.
Therefore, in this context, Li Zairong feels that it is time to shift the domestic contradictions.
And Emerald Island is the best object of this contradiction transfer!
Regarding the strength of the Emerald Island fleet, he has seen it through video footage. To be honest, it is indeed very powerful, but it is far from the point where he is afraid.
No matter how powerful the opponent is, it is only a palm-sized island after all!
As for the military strength of the navy, there are only a few hundred people. Such a strength will not be an opponent of a large navy with a population of 50 million!
Therefore, using force to intimidate the other party in order to reach a settlement agreement to ease the pressure on Samsung and transfer domestic conflicts along the way. This is definitely a good way to kill two birds with one stone!
