    The tough performance of Clinton and the US government finally turned the issue of US troops stationed in South Korea into a crisis!

    Under Qi Yiming's instigation, South Korea finally issued an ultimatum to the U.S. military stationed in South Korea, requiring all U.S. troops to withdraw from South Korea within four months. However, before the ultimatum expired, the White House spokesperson made it clear that the United States would not  There will be no concession at all. The United States will continue to be stationed on the Korean Peninsula in accordance with the originally signed defense agreement and will not move due to any special circumstances.

    It¡¯s just that this not only makes people suspicious, but the entity South Korea no longer exists. Who is your defense agreement to protect?  This also allows the world to clearly see the face of the United States. All actions are based on its own interests, without really considering international law, justice, or the feelings of people in other countries.

    This has further aroused the dissatisfaction of Koreans, and a new round of anti-American protests is likely to expand.

    However, the political and tactical capabilities of the United States are not insignificant. They still have a lot of leverage in South Korea. The United States is trying to use economic cards to suppress South Korea and put pressure on South Korea to give up the idea of ??forcing the US military stationed in South Korea to move defenses.  The United States is South Korea's main trading partner. A large number of Korean products are produced for sale in the United States. The United States has made mischief in trade. A large number of Korean products face difficulties in customs clearance in the United States, or are directly sent back due to various inexplicable factors.  , causing many Koreans who rely on trade and export production to suffer huge losses.

    At the same time, pro-American Korean policies began to promote "pillow policy" at this time. A Korean congressman said: "South Korea and the United States have had close diplomatic relations for decades, and the United States is also an important partner of South Korea.  Whether it is economic or political and military, it is disrespectful to our allies to act independently of the United States in the unification process, and it is an arbitrary betrayal to expel the US military in South Korea and selectively forget what the US military in South Korea has done in our country.  The huge contribution made by the government is really unwise and needs to be revised.¡±

    Similar voices naturally swayed some Koreans. It seemed that the counterattack adopted by the United States had also achieved certain results. However, the person operating opposite them was Qi Yiming, a veteran who was used to such methods. Qi Yiming immediately instructed Jin Da Zhong.  The party launched a second counterattack in terms of public opinion.

    Soon, the United States countered South Korea through economic war and used pro-American politicians to undermine the South Korean government's decisions. It was widely disclosed. Even through investigations, the incident of some pro-American politicians accepting bribes in the name of various American foundations was deeply exposed.  exposure.  Some South Korean TV stations even conducted special reports to introduce the losses caused by some traders and manufacturers due to the small actions of the United States, which further aroused dissatisfaction among Korean people.

    At this moment, some reputable elites such as politicians, commentators and academic leaders in South Korea began to help incite nationalist sentiments at the call of Kim Dae-jung. One historian denounced: "In fact, South Korea never really fought in World War II.  After independence, we only broke away from colonial rule from Japan, but fell into the puppet control of the United States. Some unscrupulous politicians were servile and only knew how to listen to the voice of the United States, but ignored the people of our country and the  For the interests of our Korean nation, in such a life-and-death war, although there is no gunpowder, the people of South Korea should have the backbone to unite resolutely to fight the Americans. Without the Americans, we will not die."

    After more than a week of planning, South Korean President Kim Dae-jung personally spoke out: "The U.S. military stationed in South Korea ignores our country's laws and insists on occupying our land. This is a naked act of aggression. On behalf of the South Korean government and all the people of South Korea and all people of the Korean Federation, I  , lodged a solemn protest and condemnation to the United States. Our country will join hands with North Korea and submit this situation to the United Nations. All conscientious and peace-loving people in the world will be our backing. In the process of national sovereignty, territorial integrity, and national independence,  On the issue of dignity, we the Korean nation will never retreat.¡±

    Until now, Clinton has a slight feeling that the matter is getting serious, and Koreans have more backbone than he thought.  Originally, he thought that the Koreans would bend under pressure, no different from previous Korean puppet governments, but the current Korean government is obviously not like this.

    His diplomatic adviser believes that South Korea is now a democratically elected government, and the Korean people have experienced a long-term suppression of political rights and have an urgent desire to speak out politically. At the same time, they are also easily incited. This is the so-called populist tendency.  Nationalism is obviously the soil that is most likely to nourish populism. Once populism is ignited, many democratically elected governments can only bite the bullet and follow this voice, because they go against this voice, and if the results are not good, they will  He was quickly replaced and lost his power to govern.

    Therefore, populist countries sometimes appear to be tougher than authoritarian countries when facing external issues. Even if they do not have the strength and foundation to be tough at all, there is nothing they can do about it.

    As the issue of the U.S. military stationing on the Korean Peninsula intensifies, another superpower in the region has also made a statement. Chinese Foreign Minister Qian Qishen made it public at an event.He expressed disapproval of the United States' insistence on forcibly stationing South Korea and believed that the people of the Korean Federation have the right to determine their own destiny, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of independent countries should also be respected.  At the same time, Foreign Minister Qian called for peaceful negotiation and communication to resolve the issue, and China is also willing to actively mediate this dispute.

    "After hearing such words, Americans want to spit on the ground. Damn China, you still resolve disputes. If you show up, then the only way to resolve disputes must be to harm the interests of the United States and result in the withdrawal of the United States.

    Soon, North Korea and South Korea submitted their own merger applications to the United Nations. The separate offices of South Korea and North Korea in the United Nations will be merged into one, the Federal Office of North Korea in the United Nations.  The United Nations itself does not have much power to decide on this kind of matter. If other countries merge, if the General Assembly objects, then the United Nations' brand of not interfering in other countries' internal affairs will be shattered.  Afterwards, the vote on agreeing to allow the Korean Federation to join the ranks of the United Nations member states passed smoothly. Even the United States was embarrassed to vote against it and abstained from voting.

    After the Korean Federation joined the United Nations, the first draft resolution it proposed was to ask the United Nations to come forward to help the Korean Federation expel the U.S. troops illegally stationed on South Korean territory.  Although the Americans had anticipated this action, it was still quite troublesome when it was actually dealt with, because the United States was really untenable legally.  Although the Korean Federation has not yet been fully established, they have already used this name. The independent sovereignty of North Korea and South Korea no longer exists, so the defense alliance treaty signed by the United States and South Korea will be invalidated.

    The United States does not have any defense agreement with the Korean Federation, so there is no reason to keep troops and military facilities here.

    The U.S.¡¯s diplomatic force has to go all out to lobby various countries¡¯ agencies in the United Nations to explain its position, and even use some means of interest exchange to persuade these countries to stand with the U.S. position in subsequent votes.

    But even so, the results that can be achieved are quite limited, because even the United States' NATO allies are willing to help the United States in this matter (in fact, there are not many, after all, this is a clear violation of a country's sovereignty), and widespread  Third World countries, as well as China's leading SCO member states and peripheral countries, will not give in to the United States on this matter.

    Sure enough, the voting result was as expected, with an absolute majority of countries voting in favor, prompting a United Nations resolution condemning the illegal U.S. presence in South Korea and requiring the United States to withdraw from the Korean Federation within a time limit.

    The diplomacy of the United States suffered a major setback, and doves in the United States also showed their dissatisfaction at the right time. They believed that the behavior of the U.S. government was dirty and ugly, which seriously affected the positive image of the United States. This also  It was used by some opposition figures to attack the Democratic Party government's incompetence.

    Clinton can no longer stand it any longer. He can continue to be tough, but as the opposition said, seizing the right to station troops has hurt the image of the United States. No matter what period of time, a country with a good reputation and a positive image can continue to dominate.  The second magic weapon is that the issue of the right to station troops in South Korea is likely to have an adverse impact on other aspects of U.S. affairs.  Some countries that also have U.S. troops stationed are now worried that if one day they also want to take back the right to station troops, but the United States does not agree, a similar incident will happen.

    The Korean Federation also launched the largest wave of protest marches. This time it was not just South Koreans. The 38th Parallel was released. The North Korean government organized tens of thousands of representatives of people from all walks of life in North Korea to come to South Korea to meet with the South Korean compatriots.  Hand in hand, a human wall was formed outside the U.S. military base. This human wall composed of hundreds of thousands of people rotated every day, continuously blocking the Americans in the base. The U.S. troops inside could not get out, and the U.S. troops outside could not get out.  Food and drinking water are also inaccessible, which completely isolates the US military in South Korea.

    Here are all unarmed people, including students, teachers, octogenarians and middle-aged women. If the United States really breaks through this human wall, it will inevitably cause casualties. At that time, Americans will become even more street rats, let alone  There is no way to mix in South Korea, and there is no way to mix in the world.

    The people of the Korean Federation unitedly resisted the occupation by the US military, which has had a wide impact on the international scale. Many countries have also held anti-hegemony demonstrations in support of the Korean people. Even in Washington, the United States, some good people gathered together at the White House.  Demonstration outside.

    The supplies at the US military base in South Korea are enough to sustain them, but the morale of the soldiers there has dropped to freezing point.
