Even after Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931, Chiang Kai-shek's national government, which had a capital in Nanjing, did not resist. At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was busy driving out communist troops from Jiangxi Province. If we sent troops north of the Great Wall to deal with the Japanese military, we had to give up the annihilation of the Communist Party. Chiang Kai-shek said. "If the Communist Party is a 'heart disease', the Japanese are a 'skin disease'. The plan was to deal with Japan after solving the major disease, the Communist Party.

Chiang Kai-shek had a point of belief. At that time, China had a population of about 500 million, seven to eight times larger than Japan. The Japanese military's history was global, but it was not enough to occupy every corner of the large Chinese continent. Usually, the Chinese think "time will solve" in these cases. So did Chiang Kai-shek. He forgot about Manchuria.

This situation continued until Zhang Xue Liang kidnapped Chiang Kai-shek in Xi'an in December 1936. Chiang Kai-shek held out for two weeks, but eventually had to accept Zhang Xue Liang's demand that "a united front against the Communist Party and anti-Japanese should be established." The following year, the Sino-Japanese War broke out.

Jang Dong-hyuk, the representative of the People's Power, expelled Han Dong-hoon, which is in line with Chiang Kai-shek's decision to wipe out the Communist Party before the Japanese military. First, after removing the enemy from the inside, we begin to recover the Goto.... I think that's the idea or I want to look like that.

Jang doesn't seem to have much meaning in the June local elections. If there was a will, Han Dong-hoon should not have been expelled. If you lose the Seoul mayor, the shock will be huge. But general elections and presidential elections are many times more important. There is a lot of time left until then. For Chang, local elections are like Manchurian land for Chiang Kai-shek, which is inevitable even if they are lost. I have a chance to fight against the outside world only if I live. Resolve heart disease first and cure skin disease. That kind of calculation.

Chiang Kai-shek believed in 500 million people. The maximum number of Japanese troops deployed to China was 850,000 in 1938. It was too much to rule, even though it was possible to win the battle and occupy the region. Japan might have won the war if it had only focused on the Chinese front without expanding its front line to the Pacific Ocean. But it would not have ruled for long. Wouldn't the continental version of the Vietnam War have continued.

I wonder what "500 million people" Jang believes in. 20% approval rating based on Gallup Korea? In any case, Daegu and Gyeongbuk will be created by the National Assembly bargaining group? This seems to be a very meaningful Maginot Line from the perspective of the overall remuneration. But in a way, it seems like the maximum, not the Maginot Line.

The people's power under the Jang Dong-hyuk system is breaking up with a comprehensive conservative party characterized by a broad spectrum. It's been a while since far-right YouTubers and asphalt church forces became the center of the party. In the UK, it feels like moving from the Conservative Party to Nigel Farage's far-right 'British Reform Party'.

The extreme right does not mean that there is no hope. In a world where the world is confused, people's livelihoods are broken, and values are broken, opportunities come to the far right or far left. That's how the Nazi Party of Germany came to power. But in a proper country, such a party has rarely become the majority in elections. It is true that the possibility of extreme parties taking power has increased as populism has gained global power since Trump's first term. The power of the far-right people can also dream of taking power. If an IMF-level economic crisis strikes during the left-wing government's term, anything can happen.

However, under normal circumstances, the approval rating that the public can reach with a narrowed spectrum would be up to 20 percent. The report card is only for the person who is dissatisfied, but it usually reflects his or her ability. I think it's almost impossible to keep the 108 seats I won in the 22nd general election in the general election two years later. Except for Daegu and Gyeongbuk, it will be difficult to dream and TK will not be able to dominate. As a result, there is a possibility that the power of the people will be reduced from a mainstream party to a 'boutique party'. In that sense, 20% and TK are maximal, not the Maginot Line.

I'm not sure whether the ruling camp will take the seat without the people's power or the alternative conservatives. For the latter to be possible, an alternative conservative party must first stand. Given the behavior and skills of the (諸) forces involved in the expulsion of Han Dong-hoon, it will not be easy. In the power of the people, there is no person like Jang Xue Liang who caused the Xi'an incident. If alternative forces do not come out, the people's power will last for a long time. At that rate, it would be a 20% TK party. I think this is what Jang Dong-hyuk believes in. the belief that there are no alternative conservatives.
