Chapter 622 Inside and outside the official residence (fourth update, please subscribe)
When the northern army on the peninsula was overwhelming, the United Nations passed two agreements one after another, when Ambassador Nam Bang submitted Rhee’s distress telegram to Truman with a sad face.
The Nanyang Army conveniently ordered all troops to stop taking vacations!
The military's response is completely normal. After all, whether it is far or near, some things always need to be guarded against.
The war that broke out on the peninsula naturally caused discussions in Southeast Asia, but it was just a discussion. In fact, in the eyes of many people...
peninsula? What are you doing to me?
So, when the war just started, Commander-in-Chief Li drove out of Chang'an and began his inspection tour. Commander-in-Chief Li left the official residence, but the official residence was still very busy, with reports from various departments It will still be sent to the official residence, and then sent to the chief's case from the official residence.
“Just like the previous prediction!”
As soon as he saw Yu Xiangdong, Li Guoren went directly to the topic and said,
“Because it involves the relationship with the United States, and the United States It has been decided to organize a coalition force in the name of the United Nations. Ambassador Kirk has requested to meet many times. What do you think about this matter? ”
"This is not what I think, but it depends on the scale of the war. If it is only limited to the scope of the peninsula - that is, North Korea and South Korea, we people really need to worry about our relationship with the United States, and there is no way to refuse."< br>
Speaking of this, Yu Xiangdong changed the subject and said.
“But if the scale of the war cannot be controlled and a third country participates, to put it bluntly, the era of dragons fighting three thousand miles is back.”
This seemingly simple sentence makes Li Guoren, the foreign minister, became mute. Anyone who knows a little bit about the history of the peninsula will know where the allusion "The Dragon Fights Three Thousand Miles" comes from.
"Then...this is a big deal."
Li Guoren gave Yu Xiangdong an incomprehensible look.
"However, judging from the current situation, this kind of thing seems unlikely to happen. The current situation is very beneficial to the North. Since the outbreak of the war, the North has been unstoppable and unstoppable. The US military in Japan has already participated in the war. Of course, it doesn’t change the fate of being beaten. Now that they are retreating to Busan, tell me, this American is too old to be beaten!”
Although it is a bit inappropriate, the respected commander-in-chief still has it in his heart. The meaning of the American joke is that after all, he also has a grudge against the American Li Guoren.
"Maybe, he will be driven into the sea soon."
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. I am afraid only God knows what will happen in the future." Yu Xiangdong shrugged his shoulders.
"Oh, will there be any changes in such a tailwind situation?"
Li Guoren said to himself,
"If this is the case, it will definitely be a tragedy."
"Absolute tragedy!"
In agreement, Yu Xiangdong said with a serious expression,
"So, it is impossible for us to give an accurate answer when the situation is not clear."
"What about the military?"
Li Guoren asked.
"What is the attitude of the military? They have canceled their vacation."
Although the war on the peninsula seems far away from Southeast Asia and seems to have nothing to do with it, From the official residence to the military, no one chose to sit idly by.
On the third day after the outbreak of the Peninsula War, the military canceled leave according to the order, and all vacation personnel returned to the army within a time limit.
While Li Guoren and Yu Xiangdong were discussing the situation on the peninsula in their official residence, at the Ministry of National Defense building not far from the official residence, Army Chief Sun Delin was reminiscing with Navy Chief Zou Tongjie. It was chatting, reminiscing about old times, or rather discussing the affairs of the peninsula.
“Oh, will the peninsula really make the Americans busy?”
Zou Tongjie asked with some confusion.
“Although we all know that the situation on the peninsula may fundamentally change due to the intervention of the US military, we should not let them fall into a quagmire!”
Although the current situation seems to be very favorable to the north, the military's view is surprisingly consistent-the intervention of the US military will change everything.
"It is possible. We all know that Marshal Mai is good at fighting landing battles. Even if they drive the U.S. military into the sea, with the powerful navy and air force, Marshal Mai can still put the troops into the peninsula. On the east and west sides, the weak points of defense penetrate directly into the north and back. Once there is a situation of being attacked from both sides, the north will be defeated sooner or later. "
"Wouldn't the situation be restored? "
"Again, it depends on whether the scale of the war can be controlled."
Sun Delin said directly, "What you mean is, can Marshal Mai stop the car!"< br>
"Can he stop?"
The seemingly casual rhetorical question actually broke Marshal Mai's character. Everyone in Nanyang knew very well about Marshal Mai. After all, there were some grudges between them.
Although the grievances are not deep, both parties understand each other very well.
"This..."
Zou Tongjie's brows furrowed.
“That guy is so proud of his achievements that he calls himself the “Emperor of Japan”. If he gets another “Father of Rebuilding Korea”, I guess he won’t refuse.”
For Marshal Mai , that guy is not just a great guy, he is also a guy with a very good reputation. As long as there is an opportunity, he will never miss the opportunity to make a name for himself.
"So, in what direction will the situation develop by then? Have you seen the map?"
Of course you have seen the map, and you naturally know where the peninsula lies.
"To be honest, if it were another country, such as India or Turkey, if the United Nations intervened, I would definitely support being consistent with the United Nations. But now, I still think that before the situation is clear, we should not Stay consistent with them!"
Lighting up his cigarette and taking a puff, Sundelin said slowly.
“But Korea, to be honest, I don’t have a good impression of Korea. Those Korean sticks were part of Japan back then. During the Anti-Japanese War, many people joined the Japanese army and fought hard for little Japan. Not to mention, there are still tens of thousands of prisoners of war in prisoner-of-war camps. During the Jinling Massacre, Korean soldiers also participated. Their hands are stained with our blood. We shed our blood for them...even if there is not even a drop. It’s worth it.”
Zou Tongjie’s face also turned cloudy, and he said meaningfully
“It’s true, I feel the same way.”
"Although we all believe that this war has nothing to do with Nanyang, if the United States insists on requesting it, it will be difficult for us to refuse. After all, we have benefited from the United States a lot in recent years."
Sundelin, who looked embarrassed, took a deep puff of his cigarette and said,
"If you give the order, we can only think of a way."
"Speaking of which, can the navy take it? Without assistance from the United States, we are ready to dispatch at any time. Let us start preparing now. In about a month, we can help the Americans ensure shipping safety in the Tsushima Strait or implement a sea blockade in the Sea of Japan.”
Zou Tongjie said without thinking, in fact, his idea was very simple - soldiers can be sent, but they will definitely not shed blood and sweat for the Americans. The navy... North Korea doesn't even have a sampan, and the navy goes there to fish. It’s still okay to enjoy the snow scenery.
"I think there is no other way. It has nothing to do with us anyway."
Sun Delin said.
"I think the most important thing now is your Excellency. Your attitude determines everything."
"Your Excellency?"
Zou Tongjie said directly.
"Your Excellency must have the same attitude. Back in Bastogne, we let the Yankees betray us once, so it is absolutely impossible to bleed for the Yankees again."
Bastow was besieged that year. How could Nie Sundelin not know your resentment towards the Americans? They shed blood in Bastogne.
With these resentments in the past, even now when cooperating with the Americans, Nanyang still has reservations and is also wary of bleeding for the Americans?
Nanyang is not that generous yet!
In fact, this is not just a matter of generosity, a more important reason is that Nanyang does not have so much blood to shed.
As a country with a somewhat tight labor force, in order to develop the economy, it has even reduced its total military strength to only 100,000. How could it be possible to travel thousands of kilometers away to draw chestnuts from the fire for other countries?
So everyone in Nanyang is very clear about what role Nanyang should play in this war.
That is to watch from the sidelines.
We had already talked about this place, and naturally understood each other's thoughts, so Sundelin continued.
“So, now you probably need a reason to reject the Yankees. In other words, let the Yankees retreat in spite of the difficulties.”
