The "submarine case" in the Taiwan region involved a budget of up to hundreds of billions of yuan, and this case was exposed by the media in the Taiwan region last year, and the report pointed out that there was a problem of corruption in the budget, and the spearhead was directly aimed at Huang Shuguang, then "chief of the army" and "chief of general staff." Huang Shuguang is considered an important figure in the Tsai Ing-wen government, and after stepping down from the post of army chief of staff, he was assigned to serve as the convener of the "submarine project" and was responsible for taking full control of the case.
Huang Shuguang reportedly submitted his resignation to Tsai Ing-wen during the last "general election", although this information was not made public. Recently, Mr. Huang confirmed his resignation and filed a lawsuit against the media outlet who exposed his corruption for false accusations. The media personality is mainly engaged in polls.
In addition, Huang Shanshan, a well-known figure in the People's Party and Huang Shuguang's own sister, said that her brother's resignation was because his phased tasks had been completed. The incident has sparked widespread concern in the community, and Huang Shanshan's past election accusations have been related to her possible direct connection with Tsai Ing-wen, and this incident may have an impact on her political image.
There are two major issues involved in this case. First of all, with regard to the "submarine corruption case", the number of people involved and their scale is a serious question, since the case involves a budget of up to hundreds of billions. Second, it is also an important question as to whether the People's Party will form a substantive alliance with the Tsai Ing-wen camp or the DPP camp through Huang Shuguang.
For the first question, the "submarine corruption case" is a well-known problem, and the purchase of weapons is usually accompanied by kickbacks, which can range from 5% to 20%. Whether the kickbacks are received in the United States or traded elsewhere is usually known only to Tsai and her close associates. Huang's resignation and the accusations in the media, coupled with the completion of the so-called phased tasks mentioned by Huang Shanshan, seem to some extent to imply that he was indeed involved in the operation. No one knows how much it will cost.
In addition, linking the Huang Shuguang incident with the "submarine corruption case" may actually become a potential threat to Tsai Ing-wen. For example, Lai Qingde and others may use this case as a bargaining chip, and if it is necessary to force Tsai Ing-wen to make certain decisions, she may have to comply with the case if it is only necessary to expose the case. If the case is made public, it will not only involve hundreds of billions of dollars in corruption cases, but also a range of personalities.
Looking back at history, similar cases also occurred in the "Lafayette case" during the Lee Teng-hui period, involving the same amount of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the number of officers involved was huge. This historical event provides a reference for the current situation, showing that if the current case involves an equally large number of generals, then it will undoubtedly be a big case that shocks society.
This incident is linked to a number of malpractices in the history of the Taiwan military, which shows that Taiwan's arms procurement in the field, whether it is with the United States or with France in the past, involves huge sums of money and complicated inside stories. It can be said that this is a deep-rooted bad tradition in the armed forces of the Taiwan region. The current situation is not only related to the military, but also to political circles.
After this incident was exposed, neither the People's Party nor the Blue Camp seemed to have made too many public statements. At the press conference of the Blue Camp, Huang Shuguang was asked to personally clarify the facts, especially regarding the issue of his previous accusation that the legislative representatives of the Blue Camp leaked secrets.
In addition, Huang Shuguang has filed a lawsuit against the media person who charged him, which may push the incident further. At the same time, this incident has also made some of the dark lines between the People's Party and Tsai Ing-wen more obvious.
In the future, Huang Shanshan's role in the People's Party and Taiwan's political circles and the suspicions it has aroused may further increase. Looking ahead, it remains to be seen where this hundreds of billions of dollars submarine case will take place and its eventual impact, including how many people may be implicated.
