Chapter 529 Tian Jiao

A person's name may be incorrect, but nicknames are rarely incorrect. I don't remember which old gentleman said it.

Xu Muye, a member of the Political Bureau, secretary of the Secretariat, and vice chairman of the new Military Commission, who had just stepped down as secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, had a nickname among the people, Griffin. Apart from being a well-known hawk in the party, it was also because of the tough and fearless personality of Vice Chairman Xu.

Half a month after the Peninsula War broke out, with the intervention of the United States, the North Korean army, which had originally held the upper hand, was beaten until it was utterly routed. Out of consideration for its own security interests, the Republic decided to send troops to interfere in the Korean War under Xu Muye's active proposition. The first batch of participating troops were two corps drawn from the northern military region. Fifty thousand troops entered North Korea to participate in the war in the name of maintaining peace in the region and protecting the safe withdrawal of overseas Chinese.

In order to ensure smooth logistical coordination and demonstrate the determination of the Central Committee politically, the Military Commission decided to specially send a person of sufficient weight to guard Liaodong and set up a front-line headquarters. Xu Muye volunteered and accepted the title of Commander-in-Chief.

Liaodong Peninsula, Qifeng Mountain in a secluded valley, the military 7452 unit hostel.

In the small meeting room, smoke was shrouded in smoke. Everyone present was discussing how to stabilize the current defensive line and whether to switch to an offensive conference. Front-line Commander Xu Muye presided over the discussion. Wang Chen, member of the Standing Committee of the Political Commissary and Military Commission of the Northern Military Region, commander Tao Wenhai, Chief of Staff Su Dingbang, and Major General Kim Sak-nam, representative of the 39th legion corps commander Lin Hongyu, 23rd legion corps commander Ma Bangguo, and the Korean People's Army chief of general staff Zhang Zhe-nan, commander-in-chief of the People's Army, and Grand Marshal General Kim Yong-nam, attended the meeting as observers.

After the war broke out on the peninsula, The Kim family has been active in transferring assets overseas, When the battle started smoothly, Kim Young-nam, commander-in-chief of the KPA, remains in command at home, Following the intervention of the United States, the situation deteriorated rapidly. Kim Young-nam decisively decided to shift the command center. According to Kim Snow-ki's representative, he brought a group of trusted aides to the secret base on the northern bank of the Tumen River on the border with China and Russia to continue fighting the enemy until the last soldier.

At the meeting, Jin Xueji solemnly announced the request made by the marshal to the frontline command. Firstly, the KPA required the two armies that entered the DPRK to join the KPA's combat sequence and accept the KPA's command; Second, the marshal demanded that the Republic continue to send more troops into the DPRK to fight, and that they should also be included in the KPA's ranks; Third, Marshal Jin stressed that war was cruel. The Great People's Army was not afraid of sacrifices, but was also unwilling to make unnecessary sacrifices. He hoped that the main goal of the next battle would be to recover the lost land. Finally, the marshal emphasized that the Korean people were not afraid of death, and did not mind using nuclear weapons to burn down their fierce and shameless enemies whenever necessary.

Zhang Zhe'nan, chief of the general staff of the People's Army, expressed his firm support for the wise decision of the Marshal, believing that under the leadership of the Marshal, the heroic and skilled People's Army would definitely be able to smash the sinister plots of Tibetan nationalism and Tibetan lackeys against their great country.

Major General Lin Hongyu of the 39th Army was a post-70s, 47-year-old master of military command. He was open-minded and lively. He had a deep theoretical understanding of modern warfare, and was also a brave and fierce commander who was good at fighting tough battles. Because it was a tiger, there was another nickname, the Northern Tiger.

When Xu Muye asked for the opinions of others, he took the lead to stand up and speak, "First, in the short term, I don't think there is a need for more troops. The United States has sent out four divisions of troops so far, and we already have two legions participating in the battle, which can be said to be giving face to our old opponent." Second, I believe that the DPRK military command system lacks the experience of commanding modern high-tech environmental warfare and is not qualified to command the coalition forces; Thirdly, if this war is not fought, the issue of the reunification of the peninsula must be thoroughly resolved. Once a counter-offensive is launched, it must be carried out resolutely and thoroughly to the end; Fourth, the upgrading of equipment required by the KPA can be postponed, but the chain of command must be upgraded. In order to coordinate the operations of the Republic Army, what they need to upgrade most is their knowledge of war in the modern high-tech environment. "

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Xueji was the first to be unable to sit still. He slapped the table and stood up, "Comrade Lin Hongyu, You are questioning the decision of the great leader of the one million people's army, "This is a blatant insult to the sacred and inviolable General Kim in the hearts of the great 30 million North Koreans. We cannot accept your statement and attitude no matter what. You must understand the fact that the 1 million People's Army is resisting the enemy outside the country for you!" Then, he turned his gaze to Xu Muye, who was in charge of the overall situation.

"Comrade Vice Chairman, I demand that General Lin Hongyu be disqualified from attending the meeting as an observer, that he be removed from all his posts within the Party in the army, and that he immediately apologize sincerely to our great General Jin for what he said and did just now."

Lin Hongyu sneered angrily. Just as he was about to retort, Xu Muye waved his hand to stop him.

Xu Muye was as steady as Mount Tai, and the old god was there. He glanced at Zhang Zhe'nan, the deputy marshal of the People's Army, who was eager to try. However, he turned his gaze to Wang Chen and said, "What does Comrade Wang Chen think of the four requests made by Commander-in-Chief Kim Yong'nan?"

Wang Chen calmly drank a mouthful of water, "I am not a soldier in the strict sense of the word and lack of research on the issue of war command. I only talk about it from a strategic point of view. I personally think that General Lin Hongyu's words are more worthy of recognition. There are two reasons. First, if we increase the number of troops at this time, it is suspected that we will take the initiative to expand the scale of the war and put us in a passive position in international public opinion; Second, the Korean Peninsula issue has a long history. As the saying goes, no one should be allowed to snore beside the bed. The peninsula issue has become a sharp sword hanging on the head of the Republic… "

"Your Excellency, shut up!" Jin Xueji stood up angrily. Yi Zheng said, "I protest solemnly to you on behalf of the one million people's army, I cannot accept your arrogant and rude attitude at all. If the next meeting continues in such an atmosphere, I regret to inform you, Mr. Vice-President, that KPA representatives will withdraw from the meeting and that KPA will not send another soldier to cooperate with the PLA's combat mission in the future. "

Xu Muye's expression was slightly angry. "Mrs. Kim, Pay attention to your attitude and behavior, This is the meeting room of the Alliance Forces Front Command, "It's not your Great Hall of Pyongyang, nor is it the living room of General Kim's family. We are here to discuss and resolve problems, resolve differences, and establish a better cooperative relationship to enhance our combat effectiveness. General Kim is your supreme leader, but that doesn't mean he won't make strategic and tactical mistakes. Otherwise, why should we sit here?"

"Don't forget, Currently, at the forefront of the defence line, it is the two armies of the Republic that prevent the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops of the three countries from continuing northward, The people in this room are responsible for the lives of every commander and soldier participating in the war, but General Kim's ridiculous demands are unreasonable and ignorant. If you are still not in your proper positions, there is no need to send representatives to such meetings in the future. "

Like many years ago, this tough statement has put the two sides in a stalemate. Decades had passed, and the KPA's equipment and training had improved by a lot. However, the way they fought in the new era had also changed. They were still lagging behind. Although they had a good will to fight, they were still unable to defeat the United States in the face of the cooperation of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, and the fact that they were able to use skyscouting techniques perfectly.

In this kind of modern war, where science and technology were highly developed, their backward equipment and theoretical level of war were completely useless. The surface-to-air system was useless. Apart from killing chicken blood, the chain of command was simply blind and deaf. The so-called special infiltration method that they were proud of became a joke in front of the United States military's world-wide reconnaissance techniques. At this point in the war, they had lost all bargaining chips.

If not for the fact that the Republic Air Force had joined the battle to achieve an even distribution of air supremacy, perhaps the tri-national coalition would have taken control of the entire peninsula by this time.

Blindness makes people stupid. This country, which relies on personal worship to establish an authoritarian regime and has been fighting for 70 years with chicken blood, is already terminally ill. Although the central government did not have a clear attitude towards the Jin Clan, Xu Mu had already made a decision in her ambitions. If necessary, consider removing Kim Young-nam from command by force. And even the entire KPA.

Jin Xueji stood there stiffly and looked at Zhang Zhenan for help. She came here on behalf of Jin Yingnan. Fighting for the greatest benefits for the Jin Clan was her only mission. She had already finished the matter of the lion asking for a sky-high price. It was time for her to return the money. The person in charge of this task was naturally the Vice Marshal of the People's Army, Zhang Zhe'nan.

Zhang Zhe Nan was silent, and the meeting room suddenly became quiet and oppressive. Their bargaining chip was only one million Korean troops, but the previous war had weakened the persuasion of this bargaining chip. Although the Republic had only sent 50,000 troops into the battlefield, it had also invested in the Air Force, the Surface-to-Air Missile Force, and the Aerospace Satellite Reconnaissance and Warning System. The resources and capabilities it had imported were capable of directly contending with the United States Army and were more compatible with modern warfare in a high-tech environment.

As the deputy commander of the People's Army and a participant in the initial stages of the Korean War, he knew that the chips in his hands were no longer as convincing as the Republic's. Under Jin Xueji's gaze, He first thought of the children and wives detained in Pyongyang by the Ministry of People's Force, Even though he knew that things could not be done, he had no choice but to stand up and say, "General Jin Xueji, please wait a moment, Mr. Vice-President, please be patient. We have all put forward our own ideas. Although there are great differences, we still stand on the same side. We can discuss it again."

Xu Muye nodded and said, "General zhang said very reasonable, We welcome the willingness of KPA representatives to speak in an objective and scientific manner, First of all, I would like to clarify a matter of principle, that is, there is no room for manoeuvre on the issue of dominance. Today's topic is how to strengthen coordination, stabilize the current defensive line and launch a counter-offensive. Under this premise, if the outcome of the discussions deems it necessary to increase the number of troops, it is not impossible to consider it. As for other requirements, they will not be discussed at this meeting. "

Jin Xueji sat down and gave Zhang Zhenan a look. The latter could only clear his throat. "Comrade Vice-Chairman, I can accept your statement, For the time being, we can skip the Marshal's request, But I think there should be some adjustments in the subject of discussion, We would like to discuss the resettlement of refugees from the war, as well as material assistance. General Kim is disappointed with some of the disgraceful work done by the Republic in the resettlement of refugees and is very dissatisfied with the Republic's passive attitude of procrastination in dealing with the replacement of the equipment of the Million People's Army. "

"After all, we have a million soldiers in the front bloodbath, and the republic only fifty thousand troops, and has made it clear that temporarily will not take the initiative to increase troops; As the main force in carrying out combat tasks, we cannot have the dominant authority over the scale of the war and the objectives of the campaign, This is very unfair to KPA, "We therefore hope that the Republic will respect our views on the resettlement of war refugees, cease unfavourable propaganda against our Government, use legal means to prevent all slander against our leader, General Kim, increase aid for war materiel and speed up the replacement of KPA equipment."

Xu Muye wasn't in a hurry to express his stance and looked at Jin Xueji first.

Jin Xueji said, "On behalf of General Kim, This was also the voice of the one million people's army, In addition, I would like to add that, The spy agencies of the Republic's military immediately halted all vandalism in Pyongyang, Shut down all radio stations and internet units that have made false allegations against the Labor Party government and General Kim, apologize and publicly acknowledge that General Kim is the secretary of the Labor Party and the only supreme commander who can work with the Republic on behalf of 30 million North Korean soldiers and civilians. "

Xu Muye nodded and said, "This is the correct attitude to talk." He turned to look at Wang Chen and said, "Comrade Wang Chen has just finished talking. Now, let's combine the new conditions put forward by Vice Marshal Zhang Zhenan and Ms. Jin Xueji and continue to talk about your thoughts."

The Peninsula War was a catastrophe for the people living here, but it was a great opportunity for the new nobles in the temples of the Republic to earn political capital. As the political commissar of the Northern Military Region, Wang Chen had previously shown a tough attitude in the conflict caused by the outbreak of the national Maoshun in the Western Xinjiang, suppressing the incident in its infancy and winning the unanimous approval of the party. Although he was half a step behind Xu Muye on the surface, he still maintained his equal competitiveness in reality.

Xu Muye took the initiative to ask for his opinion, not only out of recognition of his status, but also to show his selfless attitude and magnanimity.

Wang Chen was well aware of this. After some thought, he said calmly, "I think comrades of the Labour Party have misunderstood some of the work we have done, There is no denying that some ambiguous media outlets have indeed made inappropriate comments or even defamations against General Kim, but I can assure you that this is by no means the attitude of the Government of the Republic. In the area of refugee resettlement, we have always insisted on humanitarian care and have never done anything against you. "

"However, since you have made such a request, it shows that there is indeed room for improvement, and I think it is a reasonable and acceptable request; "The other thing is the replacement of reinforcements and KPA equipment. We have been doing the reinforcements work all along, but I have to tell you with regret that such a large amount of resources will take time. From mobilization to centralization, organizing the transportation force requires a large amount of manpower and material resources. It will not be done overnight."

"Besides, I'm not a military expert, However, he also knows that the conventional weapons currently used by the DPRK army are mainly Soviet-made weapons that have been tested by many wars. Although they are old, their performance is very superior. There is no need to replace them on a large scale. A truly urgent problem has been pointed out by General Lin Hongyu earlier. Personally, I think they are objective and accurate. "

Wang Chen finally said, "To sum up, this is my personal opinion on the contents of this meeting. Please sort out the documents and submit them to the Military Commission for deliberation."

Xu Muye did not say yes or no. He only instructed the minutes staff to record the contents. He then turned around to ask Tao Wenhai for his opinion. At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened. A valiant and valiant woman pushed aside the security chief and walked to the conference table proudly, saying, "Let me have a few words!"

She was dressed in military uniform, On his shoulder, he carried the brigadier general sign that the military had changed from a senior colonel to a brigadier general. Ignoring Zhang Zhenan and Jin Xueji's astonished gazes and turning a blind eye to Xu Muye's helplessness and warning gazes, he swept his clear and resolute gaze over one of the two major generals present and said, "I don't agree with Commander Lin Hongyu. I also have reservations about some of Wang Chen's political commissars."

As if no one else was around, he continued, "First of all, on behalf of the Military Commission, I agree to Vice Marshal Zhang Zhenan's request, Increased efforts and speed must be made in the area of material assistance, Commissar Wang Chen was right, "These tasks cannot be done overnight, but we have urgent needs that must be done well. Therefore, my opinion is that we can increase the efficiency in this area by increasing the number of troops when necessary. First, we can increase the efficiency in the distribution of supplies. Second, we can make the necessary preparations for the next war."

"In addition, the matter of the KPA changing clothes, I hereby agree to your request on behalf of the Military Commission, But I have to emphasize to both of you, It's not just the equipment you're lagging behind, At the same time as the equipment was being replaced, What you need even more is for the commanders to strengthen their study of the theory of war against the backdrop of the new era and new equipment, Otherwise, even if you have new equipment, your officers and men will not be able to use it properly. In order to achieve the goal of rapidly increasing the fighting strength of the People's Army, I think it is necessary to carry out a simple reorganization of the People's Army and transfer elite cadres from the PLA to the People's Army to guide the soldiers of the People's Army in learning new tactics and adapting to the new equipment. "

The woman acted as if no one else was around and said to herself without greeting anyone. After her appearance, the two rebellious army commanders suddenly sat in a much more upright position. Wang Chen and Tao Wenhai, on the other hand, sat there calmly as if they were not afraid of trouble.

The valiant woman ignored Xu Muye's coughing gesture. He continued, "I was appointed by the Military Commission to be the commander-in-chief of the Joint Forces during the Korean Peninsula War. I assisted Vice Chairman Xu in coordinating all war-related matters. I hereby inform the DPRK side that I hope to cooperate and work closely with each other to push the frontline to 100 kilometers south of the 38th Front Ceasefire by the end of this month."
