    Although Mao Zedong agreed with Peng Dehuai's sudden order to stop the pursuit of the Chinese Volunteer Army and end the third battle after entering North Korea, he still had great optimism and asked the Volunteer Army soldiers to regain their energy after a short rest.  , once again dealt a new blow to imperialism, intensified its pessimistic mood of defeat, and drove it out of Korea and into the sea.

    Indeed, in the face of some glorious victories, not to mention Mao Zedong, the Soviets, including Stalin, also believed that the United Nations forces on the Korean Peninsula were already vulnerable, and were urging the Chinese Volunteer Army to act as soon as possible.  Only Commander-in-Chief Peng Dehuai knew that in these battles, Mao Zedong's goal of encircling and annihilating the United Nations heavy force group and wiping out a large number of its effective forces had not been achieved at all. At this time, the comparison of strength between the two sides on the battlefield had not occurred.  Fundamental changes, and for the Chinese Volunteer Army, due to the continuous operations after entering the DPRK, the number of troops in each unit was seriously reduced, and the soldiers were not replenished. In fact, they were in a state of hunger and fatigue. For the Chinese Volunteer Army,  , No one would have imagined that the crisis had actually come quietly at this time.

    Kim Il-sung, the commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Army and the architect of the Korean War, did not even inform China at the beginning of the war. It was not until he was completely defeated that he thought of running to  Beijing asked for help; at this time, seeing that the United Nations forces led by the United States were defeated again and again under the attack of the Volunteer Army, they were about to retreat to the Yalu River. After the crisis was resolved, they immediately reveled in the carnival, followed by the Chinese Volunteer Army to recover  After crossing the 38th parallel and advancing another 80 to 110 kilometers, Kim Il-sung couldn't find the north and wished he could drive the Americans out immediately.  Korean Peninsula, so that he can dominate the Korean Peninsula and establish a new Kim dynasty!

    Kim Il-sung had reservations about Peng Dehuai's order to stop the pursuit. On January 8, as soon as the Chinese volunteers stopped their pursuit, he asked Chai Chengwen, the Chinese military attache in North Korea, to give a message and ask the volunteers not to rest for too long.  , at most one month is enough. His reason is quite objective. He believes that once the time is extended and the rivers thaw, it will increase the difficulty of troop movements.  But Peng Dehuai also understood what he was thinking, and simply avoided his urging. At the same time, he was told tactfully that the actions of the Korean People's Army were decided by themselves. In fact, he said that they could pursue them on their own.  Go chase.  But Kim Il-sung was also a sensible person and knew how important he was. Without the help of the Chinese volunteers, it would be difficult for the Americans, let alone the Americans, to defeat the Lee puppet army in South Korea.

    Because he is on the battlefield, General Peng Dehuai's ideas are not to say far-sighted, but at least they are realistic.  However, when people celebrate victory, they are often blinded by the superficial vanity and are carried away by optimistic passion. Mao Zedong is not a god, but also a human being, so he will also make such serious mistakes.  .

    On January 11, the ceasefire committee headed by India and Canada once again proposed a new plan, requiring the two warring parties in North Korea to cease fire first and then negotiate. Another clause is: once a ceasefire agreement is reached, the United Nations General Assembly will establish a committee including  Appropriate bodies, including representatives of four countries, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China, seek to resolve the Far East issue, including the Taiwan issue and China's representation in the United Nations.  This actually requires the U.S. government to recognize the People's Republic of China's legal seat in the United Nations and hand over the Taiwan issue. This proposal is already very lucrative for the People's Republic of China.  British Prime Minister Attlee even said something very moving: "In the name of common humanity, we should make great efforts to treat each other with sincerity and sincerity!" There is no hint of trying to curry favor with China.

    This new proposal has considerable appeal, and all U.S. allies have voted in favor; in the face of successive defeats on the Korean battlefield, although the U.S. military's frontline combat commanders headed by Ridgway firmly vowed to  Fight to the end, but politicians in Washington are ready to compromise due to various pressures at home and abroad.  The U.S. government finally reluctantly cast a vote. When they cast this vote, they had to endure the vitriol and endless sarcasm and ridicule from the opposition parties in Congress.  However, the U.S. government is not stupid. Their reasoning is that even if the United States agrees with this proposal, they are afraid that China and North Korea will not agree, and they sincerely hope that China and North Korea will reject this proposal.

    In the end, the United Nations overwhelmingly approved the proposal and forwarded it to the government of the People's Republic of China.  The ball has been kicked, and this is actually a very good opportunity for China.

    To be fair, ?nbsp; Paul knew what General Ridgway was worried about. He was afraid that his superiors would agree to General MacArthur's proposal to withdraw from South Korea.

    General MacArthur had been looking for reasons for his failure. At this time, seeing that General Ridgway, whom Collins personally nominated, also lost the battle, he gloated again and went to compete with the Joint Chiefs of Staff, once again asking them to reconsider his original decision.  The proposal is to either expand the war to mainland China, or gradually reduce its position on the Korean Peninsula until it finally withdraws from here.  This General MacArthur is really an old guy in name only, committing either left-leaning adventurism or right-leaning escapism.  However, this time the Joint Chiefs of Staff still did not agree to his request, and told the five-star general very politely that the US military was not preparing to withdraw from North Korea, nor would it expand the scale of the war, and clearly refused to allow the Kuomintang troops in Taiwan to enter.  Fight in the North.  The document that Paul handed him just now was the ambiguous order reiterated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff: The main task of the troops stationed in South Korea today is to ensure their own security and defend Japan's security; under this premise, it is necessary to  What we do is to gradually hold on to our position and inflict as many major blows to the enemy as possible.  If it is judged fundamentally and accurately that in order to avoid serious losses to our personnel and materials, we must retreat, then the troops stationed in South Korea can be withdrawn to Japan!  "These words are actually the Joint Chiefs of Staff shirking responsibility, and they are not willing to share even a little bit of responsibility for the old guy MacArthur.

    "General, is there something else? If there is nothing else, I'll go out first!" Seeing that Ridgway had been deep in thought, Paul said in time, not wanting to disturb the officer's thinking.

    Li Qiwei didn¡¯t answer, he was still deep in thought, as if he didn¡¯t realize it.

    Paul waited for a moment, and when he saw no response, he turned around, but when he was about to open the door, he heard General Ridgway shouting behind him: "Wait a minute, Colonel Paul!"

    Paul turned around and looked at his bald commander with some surprise.

    "Paul, do you remember what you mentioned to me last time?" Ridgway asked.

    "What's the matter?" Paul was a little confused. He told the officer many things, and he didn't even know which one he was referring to.

    "Welcome to the offensive!" Li Qiwei reminded him.

    Paul then remembered and nodded: "Yes!"

    "Haha, Paul, you are really right. This time the Chinese stopped fighting after a week! This is the third time!"

    "Yes! General!" Paul agreed.

    "Haha, the Chinese seem to be very strong, but they also have fatal weaknesses!" Li Qiwei became excited as if he had discovered some secret.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
