On 9 April, 41 days before Lai Qingde officially took office, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) finally began to seal off officials! The first wave of personnel arrangements for important posts in the "Fuyuan Party" where Lai Qingde took office was exposed.
President and Vice President of the Executive Yuan: Zhuo Rongtai, Zheng Lijun;
Secretary-General of the National Security Council: Wu Zhaoxie (current "Foreign Minister");
"Minister of National Defense": Gu Lixiong (currently Secretary-General of the National Security Council);
"Director of National Security": Cai Mingyan (retained).
Secretary General of the Executive Yuan: Gong Mingxin; Spokesman of the Executive Yuan: Chen Shikai; Secretary General of the Presidential Office: Pan Mengan; Secretary General of the Democratic Progressive Party: Lin Youchang;
Zheng Lijun
It can be said that these people are all important members of the DPP, and most of them are the descendants of Lai Qingde, or the descendants of Tsai Ing-wen before, and Lai Qingde also fired smoke bombs and said that he might invite some non-DPP members. Now it seems that Lai Qingde is not so interesting at all, and people within the DPP have been desperately fighting for these good positions, and for this reason, Lai and the British have openly torn their faces and fought hard. The most important thing is that these people are basically stubborn "Taiwan independence" and have no good birds.
In this regard, Wang Shangzhi, a veteran media person on the island, believes that first, these people are Lai's "small circle of trust"; second, the appointment of Wu Zhaoxie, Tsai Mingyan, and Gu Lixiong by the "national security" system means that Lai Qingde has obeyed the will of the United States, and Hsiao Meiqin will continue to play the role of an intermediary liaison between the United States and Taiwan, while Tsai Ing-wen will temporarily retreat into the background until Lai Qingde passes the "trust test" of the United States.
Wu Zhaoxie
This time, the personnel exposure of Lai Qingde's core team made all walks of life on the island very worried. Second, Gu Lixiong, Tsai Ing-wen's confidant and current secretary general of the "National Security Council," will take over as "defense minister" and replace the current "defense minister" Qiu Guozheng.
Gu Lixiong
Compared with Qiu Guozheng, who was born in a regular army, Gu Lixiong, who was born as a lawyer, seems out of place. Kuomintang "legislator" Xu Yuzhen commented in eight words: "There is no new idea, and politics is in charge." Kuomintang "legislator" Xu Qiaoxin said: "This personnel arrangement indicates that the two sides of the strait are bound to become more tense and the conflict will become more serious." In the past, Gu Lixiong was rumored to be the 'defense minister' many times, but based on his excessively strong Taiwan independence ideology, he was never approved in the end. And it was a "Taiwan independence" element who was so overwhelmed by his heavy responsibilities that he was assigned to take over Qiu Guozheng's class.
Li Zhengjie, a retired major general from Taiwan, publicly stated on the program on the 8th, "Don't think that the defense minister doesn't need to understand military affairs." Qiu Guozheng now enters the Hengshan command post every day to see the dynamics of the enemy army and our army, and if the enemy army comes to attack, what kind of troops should be sent and what kind of weapons should be used to deal with it? If there is really going to be a war, there must be someone who really understands military command and operations to be the 'defense minister.' Does Gu Lixiong understand military affairs? If Gu Lixiong is appointed as 'defense minister,' he may really be able to take up military reunification soon. ”
You can imagine that if the Taiwan military is handed over to a non-professional soldier with a strong sense of Taiwan independence and a politician who is in charge of politics in the future, the probability of cross-strait misfire will rise sharply. However, this is not necessarily a good thing for our mainland. As the saying goes, long-term pain is better than short-term pain, and the Taiwan issue really cannot be dragged on any longer, and it must be resolved within 10 years.
