    By the summer of 1993, most of the merger negotiations between North and South Korea had progressed, and basically all issues had outline documents that could guide the specific process of unification.  Moreover, both North and South Korea basically regard national reconciliation and national reunification as their highest inspiration, and all matters must give way to reunification. Therefore, during the negotiation process, there were no unresolved issues.

    At this time, North Korea and South Korea had even planned a new capital for the Korean Federation. Naturally, neither Pyongyang nor Seoul could serve as capitals. In fact, this idea was jointly proposed. On the originally disputed and tense 3rd parallel between the two countries,  Zone, build a new political center city, similar to how Brazil built Brasilia and Kazakhstan later built Astana, which mainly gives the city the function of capital.

    This city was built on the plain area east of Kaesong, on the banks of the Han River in the Korean Peninsula, just across the boundary between North Korea and South Korea.  An administrative zone that is not very large in scale but has complete urban functions will be built here as the seat of the central government of the Korean Federation.

    In order to commemorate the hard-won reunification and peace, the name of the capital was established as Xinhe City.  When the preparations for the construction of Xinhe City begin, the situation of each side on the 3rd line will be broken. Engineers from North and South Korea will enter this area to cut down trees and build buildings to create a brand new city.

    However, in the end, it was impossible to cover up such a big thing. First, various ministries of the South Korean cabinet made a lot of work and preparations on the unification issue, and then the engineering troops started preparations to prepare to march to the 38th parallel. All these unusual moves were also  Finally, the outside world became alert.

    In June, Japan's Bunshun Weekly was the first to speculate that South Korea had made all kinds of incredible preparations due to the frequent visits of officials from North Korea and South Korea to and from the Chinese capital. It speculated that changes might occur on the Korean peninsula, but it was temporarily unclear whether the changes were in the past.  Good direction or bad direction.

    In addition, the Hong Kong media, which is more flexible in news, also followed the trend and made reports, because Hong Kong's large media are still very powerful in mainland news sources. Although there will not be any sources who will break the news to them, those who do news will do the intelligence.  There is no difference. If you get some clues, you can basically judge the facts.

    The Hong Kong media learned that the two countries on the Korean Peninsula have been meeting in the capital with high intensity and frequency since February. They seem to be engaged in some protracted meetings or negotiations, and considering that North Korea has undergone major social changes after the death of Kim Il Sung, and  The antagonism on the Korean peninsula has been greatly easing, so a political commentator made a bold prediction - North Korea and South Korea will unify like the two Germanys.

    This speculation, which is highly close to reality, not only triggered large-scale reprinting in China, but also caused media around the world to follow suit and reprint and comment.  In particular, many media outlets in the United States reported heavily on this matter as if they had just woken up from a dream. Groups of reporters flew across the Pacific, either to the capital or to Seoul, hoping to capture some subtle material and report it.

    ?????????????????????????????????? At this time, there are also Americans who are a little distressed by the Peruvian war.  Americans have not paid attention to the Korean Peninsula for a long time. Even when Kim Il Sung died and North Korea experienced a change of power, Americans were not particularly worried because there was China behind North Korea. If China did not want North Korea to cause trouble,  It is difficult for North Korea to stir up trouble.  This is also the biggest benefit of having China as an ally, and you can enjoy lasting and stable regional peace.

    Even if it is wary of China, the main bases operated by the United States are Guam on the second island chain and the Philippine base in the South China Sea. In addition, it is strengthening the strength of the US military stationed in Japan, which also gives Japan a hand to enable it to better  Cooperate with the US military.  The Korean army is relatively not the most important part of the entire situation.

    Unexpectedly, the Americans had no intention of touching the Korean Peninsula. The Korean Peninsula itself gave the United States a big surprise.  Without notifying his father in the United States, the South Korean kid actually secretly conducted negotiations on the reunification of the peninsula with North Korean representatives in China, and they have been going on for such a long time, and now all obstacles have been basically cleared, well, except  U.S.

    As a last resort, Clinton had to personally call a hotline to Kim Dae-jung to verify the authenticity of the matter.  Kim Dae-jung behaved neither condescendingly nor condescendingly toward Clinton on the phone, which was very different from the past South Korean president who constantly fawned over Americans. This also made Americans really uneasy.

    "Before the matter develops to an appropriate time, we have no information to share with our allies, and this matter is our own internal affairs. We also ask our allies not to interfere too much." Kim Dae-jung said this, already slightly thorny.

    Although there is no direct confirmation, it can be regarded as an indirect admission that North Korea and South Korea are indeed conducting such sensitive negotiations that may cause great changes in geopolitics.

    Subsequently, the U.S. State Department Information Officer stated at a regular press conference that the United States will carefully observe political changes on the Korean Peninsula, pay close attention to the development of the situation, and assess the impact of the reunification of the Korean Peninsula on the U.S. presence on the peninsula.  The whole article is just revealingAlthough he expressed his worries, he did not say any words of blessing or hope that the Korean nation could self-determine and move toward reunification. This made many Korean ethnic groups dissatisfied.

    Another country that expresses an attitude similar to that of the United States is Japan, and Japan¡¯s concerns are more realistic.  In the past, if there was only South Korea, Japan could basically stabilize them. No matter in terms of economy or military presence, South Korea is not enough for Japan, and Japan also enjoys the superiority of historical colonialism.  But if the Korean Federation, which is historically hostile to Japan, is established and the Korean Federation integrates the power of the entire peninsula and can also receive support from China, then the challenge to Japan will become serious.

    Although Japanese officials have not expressed concerns like the United States, Japanese people are very unfavorable to the reunification of North Korea and South Korea. Some people even openly oppose the reunification of North Korea and South Korea, using various reasons. For example, reunification is a complicated matter, and different ideologies and  There may be conflicts between citizens with different values, and North Korea's totalitarianism may have an impact on the democracy that South Korea has finally established.  These things sound far-fetched at first sight, and the main idea contained in them is that a unified Korea cannot be allowed to challenge Japan's relative advantage in Northeast Asia.

    Originally, the rise of China in the Western Pacific has made Japan extremely worried and sad. Now if the Korean Federation develops into a country that can be compared with Japan, Japan will find it difficult to achieve both the huge psychological gap and actual benefits.  accept.

    After the news was revealed in South Korea, it also caused a strong response.  Of course, many Koreans believe that they are the dominant party in unification, just like the Federal Republic of Germany unified the Democratic Republic of Germany, so they are very supportive of the reunification process between North and South Korea.  What's more, the North and the South are originally from the same culture and race. Because of the rivalry between the great powers, the relationship was eventually torn in half, leaving a lot of scars. Reunification is the best opportunity to turn over the old page and start over.  .

    Simple nationalist sentiments unite people and regions of the nation to form a unified country and maximize power. This is a natural and natural thing of nationalism. South Korea's nationalist forces and ideas have always been relatively strong.  So it is not surprising that the unification process has received their support.

    In North Korea, because the environment is relatively closed, not many changes have occurred.

    In China, where the negotiations took place, although Chinese people have gradually begun to pay attention to international affairs, the impact of what happened on the Korean Peninsula will have on China is still not clear to ordinary people, and they just use it as a source of conversation.  Older people recall the experience of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, and they can't help but lament that times have changed, various things have changed, and the motherland is no longer what it used to be.

    There are more controversies among Chinese political commentators. A commentator article in the Global Times stated that the reunification of the Korean Peninsula is an opportunity to reshuffle the geopolitical landscape in Northeast Asia. China has actively mediated the negotiations between North Korea and South Korea and is already on the right track.  is ahead, but China must not let North Korea and South Korea decide all issues on their own.  The cooperative relations between China and North Korea should be strengthened as much as possible, and it is even necessary to invite the Korean Federation to join the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.  In addition, many problems left over from the Cold War period also need to be solved. To paraphrase the words of a great man, clean the house before treating guests. The new Korean Federation obviously needs to be cleaned.

    Even though he was not named, the hidden secrets came out.  The U.S. military stationed in South Korea is obviously not suitable to stay there any longer.  In the past, there was North Korea as a buffer area between China and the United States. Now that North Korea and South Korea have unified into one country, the buffer no longer exists. Although Sino-US relations have been highly relaxed now, we still cannot be overly trusting. It is best not to leave it to the United States.  A direct foothold on the east coast of the Asian continent.

    Obviously, this is very correct. The US military can build bases in Japan, Ryukyu, and the Philippines, but building bases on the Korean Peninsula is another concept. Not only does China need to defend its maritime borders, but it also needs to be defended on land.  Defending with a relatively strong force will have a huge impact and waste on the country's national defense deployment.

    At this time, not only in China, but also in South Korea, many writers were instructed by Kim Dae-jung and began to praise the Korean Peninsula for its true unification after the reunification of North and South Korea. Since North Korea and South Korea have good relations with China, the defense pressure has been greatly reduced, so the Korean Federation has no obligation.  Providing a large amount of funds to the United States to allow them to station in their own country is not only a waste of land in the small and densely populated peninsula, but also a waste of taxpayers' taxes.

    It was only at this time that the United States suddenly woke up and felt the full malice coming from East Asia.
