Volume 7 The Smoke on the Peninsula Chapter 7 The Crisis

On the 123rd, North Korea carried out "site adjustments" to 35 divisions deployed in the South and North Huanghai Roads of Huanghai Roads, and hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers left the barracks and headed to their destinations.

There is no confidentiality in large-scale military deployment adjustments.

The KZ19 battlefield surveillance aircraft patrolling over Changbai Mountain first issued an alarm, and then took thousands of photos from reconnaissance satellites passing by above the Korean Peninsula. The electronic reconnaissance ship patrolling the Yellow Sea waters intercepted thousands of radio communication signals within several hours.

The South Korean team responded quickly, deployed eight divisions near the "38th Line", nearly 200,000 South Korean army officers and soldiers entered combat readiness, hundreds of fighter jets took off on duty, and dozens of warships left the port in an emergency.

The situation suddenly became tense, and the dark clouds of war enveloped the entire Korean Peninsula.

It was not until that night that the North Korean troops who were deployed to defend arrived at their destination one after another that the situation eased.

At 21:30 Beijing time, Li Cunxun rushed to the head of state to attend a high-level emergency meeting.

Compared with the last senior leadership meeting, Zhao Rundong's health was worse. Not only did he look much older, but he was not very focused.

After the meeting began, Premier Gu Weimin of the State Council and Chief of Staff Xiang Yinghui introduced the situation one after another.

Before conducting military mobilization, North Korea notified the Republic's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defense 8 hours in advance in accordance with the relevant agreement, explaining the purpose of the military mobilization. According to North Korea, the adjustment and deployment were mainly to deal with the threat caused by South Korea's additional military divisions near the "ceasefire line" in May, which is a military mobilization within the normal range. North Korea neither wants to launch a war nor to worsen the situation on the peninsula, but only to maintain its own security.

Xiang Yinghui confirmed North Korea's statement. After completing the military mobilization, North Korea not only did not send additional troops to the "ceasefire line". Instead, it transferred an infantry division originally deployed in Kaicheng to the South of Huanghai Road, and a infantry division deployed in the southern part of Gangwon Road to mobilize about 50 kilometers northward. According to the analysis of the General Staff, North Korea reduced the number of front-line combat troops and strengthened the intensity of defense in depth to respond to possible sudden attacks on the ground with a better situation.

"The Korean team was lifted from combat readiness. The patrol fighter jets and the departing land warships returned to the base one after another." Li Cunxun was the third to give a report. "It's just that. I don't think the problem is that simple."

At such military conferences, the military intelligence director is very "weight".

Seeing Zhao Rundong without asking a question, Wang Yuanqing was late and said, "Can you say it more in detail?"

"Four days ago, our intelligence personnel discovered that Major Lee Hyo-wen, senior staff officer of the North Korean Armed Forces Command, had secret contact with spies from a certain country. Then they launched an investigation according to the procedures. Before finding out the truth, the North Korean intelligence and security agency launched an action.

In order to avoid losing the last clue, our intelligence personnel had to take action." Li Cunxun's words were very serious and very cautious. He said it before he should speak. He did not say it. "After the investigation, he proved that Li Xiaowen sold the information on the deployment of North Korea's nuclear weapons to a spy who pretended to be a foreign intelligence agency agent."

Wang Yuanqing's expression immediately changed, and even Zhao Rundong became much more energetic.

Huang Guowei was even more shocked and said: "The Foreign Intelligence Agency will not be interested in the intelligence of North Korea's nuclear weapons, and there is no need to instigate the senior staff of the North Korean Armed Forces Command."

Because the Foreign Intelligence Bureau is an intelligence agency under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Huang Guowei's reaction was a bit too radical.

Zhao Rundong breathed a long sigh and asked Li Cunxun: "Have you found out which country's spy was found?"

"The investigation is still going on, and it is initially speculated that it is a spy from South Korea or Japan." Li Cunxun hesitated for a moment and said, "The possibility of Japanese spies is the most important."

Zhao Rundong frowned slightly and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"In this way, North Korea's military mobilization has not been determined long ago, but a temporary decision." Wang Yuanqing pondered for a while and said, "North Korea cuts military forces near the 'ceasefire line' to show kindness to South Korea, hoping that the increasingly tense situation on the peninsula will be alleviated. Although North Korea has not sent more troops to the north, Kim Cheol-nam is adjusting its policies and increasing its vigilance against us. Now it seems that North Korea's actions will help maintain stability; in the long run, Kim Cheol-nam's actions are likely to be more costly. If South Korea and the United States draw the same conclusion from it, it will surely prompt Liu Zongchun to speed up the military preparations, and the United States will also interfere. If the military intelligence bureau's judgment is correct, it is Japanese spies who collect nuclear intelligence in North Korea, proving that Japan has ambition to interfere in the affairs of the peninsula. As long as the United States and Japan jointly promote it, Liu Zongchun will soon take the first step to unify the Korean Peninsula by force and trigger a war on the peninsula."

No one denies Wang Yuanqing's analysis, because of his level of strategic judgment, even Zhao Rundong sighs as if he is not as good as that.

However, no one, including Zhao Rundong, is willing to mention "war".

Three years ago, Japan made great efforts to develop nuclear weapons, and the United States tried to take the opportunity to make the Republic go to war with Japan in an all-out manner. The Republic, which was forced to go to the fortunate position, could only make a big fuss on the Korean Peninsula. Over the past three years, the Republic has done its best to prepare for the upcoming Peninsula War.

Things in the world often develop beyond expectations.

As the Western motto says, "There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests."

The work of manufacturing submarine-launched ballistic missiles was severely set, and 11 submarine-launched ballistics ended in failure. Japan's work on developing thermal nuclear weapons was not progressing smoothly. The heavy water plant was not officially put into production until March 2024, with an annual output of less than 50~: Japan's strategic nuclear threat has been reduced to the point where the Republic can "tolerate". In early 2024, the Military Intelligence Bureau obtained a very important piece of intelligence, proving that Japan only deployed 20 x-11 ballistic missiles equipped with single warheads, and was deployed in the underground launch silos in the Daxueshan National Park in Hokkaido.

The biggest change comes from North Korea.

Driven by the special economic zones, North Korea's reform and opening up has achieved significant results, the domestic situation has stabilized, and foreign policy has gradually eased.

The only instability factor is South Korea, which is controlled by nationalist sentiment.

The situation changed and the Republic also adjusted its policies.

As long as Japan does not have a big enough threat, the Republic has no reason to promote the Korean War. It has normalized North Korea through economic means, alleviating the situation on the peninsula, and maintaining stability and peace in Northeast Asia have become the new goal of the Republic. Although decades of efforts are required to fundamentally solve the problem, any fluctuations during this period may cause the Republic's efforts to waste, but wars that cost huge billions and sacrificed thousands of republicans, which have a significant impact on the development of the Republic are worth making any efforts for peace.

The problem is that not all countries want to solve the problem peacefully.

Compared with three years ago, South Korea replaced Japan and became the biggest instability factor in Northeast Asia.

Shortly after Park Tae-hyun was impeached, he was killed by extremist nationalists at his home in Jeolla North Do, and the newly appointed Yoo Zong-chung is an absolute "Korean" politician.

Liu Zongchun was born in the United States and was from a poor family. At the age of 12, he followed his father back to South Korea and completed his college studies by working.

The setbacks and sufferings suffered in childhood not only gave Liu Zongchun an extremely strong will and fighting spirit that was not afraid of difficulties, but also made him completely transformed into a nationalist. After becoming an adult, Liu Zongchun actively participated in various activities to promote nationalism, and was therefore imprisoned, becoming a "national hero" in the minds of Korean nationalists. During his imprisonment, Liu Zongchun wrote a semi-autobiographical novel called "Strike Korea", which clearly mentioned that ethnic division is the root of the long-term poverty and weakness of the "Korean nation". Only by completing national unity can South Korea become a powerful country that is enough to make all enemies feel afraid.

South Korea's crushing defeat in the Dokdo War paved the way for Liu Zongchun to come to power.

Although it is reported that Yoo Zongchun's mother is the granddaughter of South Korea's first president and the grand dictator Lee Seung-moon, Yoo Zongchun's political influence has not been affected. As South Korea vigorously develops its arms, promotes military reforms, rectifies official discipline, cracks down on economic oligarchs, and improves people's welfare, Yoo Zongchun's status in South Korea is getting higher and higher and his appeal is getting stronger. According to the evaluation of NN and other news media, as long as Yoo Zongchun launches a war in the name of "national unification", more than two-thirds of the Koreans will work hard for him!

For Liu Zongchun, all he lacks is enough military power.

South Korea's full efforts to expand its military has had a very bad impact on neighboring countries. Although the Republic will not engage in an "arms race" with South Korea, North Korea and Japan have to be vigilant. In order to deal with South Korea's threat, North Korea has accelerated the speed of renewal of weapons and equipment and tried every means to obtain advanced weapons from various channels. Japan adjusted its arms development plan by the end of 2022 and improved its status as a navy and air force.

The United States has also become a "victimized country".

At first, the United States had great hope for Liu Zongchun, after all, Liu Zongchun was born in the United States. As Liu Zongchun embarked on the path of extremism, the United States changed its policies. In May 2023, Cia planned a secret operation and prepared to create an explosion while Liu Zongchun went to Busan for inspection. As a result, Liu Zongchun temporarily changed his itinerary and escaped. Since then, Cia never got another chance to get rid of Liu Zongchun.

As the year begins, the United States changes its policies again and begins to contact Liu Zongchun.

There is only one reason why the United States has changed its attitude: the upcoming election.

If the Peninsula War breaks out before the election, the Republicans have a much better chance of winning the election than the Democrats. The problem is that South Korea was not ready for war before the US election, and Liu Zongchun did not intend to work for the US Republican president who wanted to get rid of him. Coupled with the active efforts of the Republican Republic, the war did not break out. In the end, the Republican Party lost the election, and the winning Democratic presidential candidate Westwood will enter the White House in January next year.

For South Korea, the benefits of Democrats entering the White House are even greater.

The Democrats are more radical than the Republicans when it comes to thrombing the Republic.

The critical and undercover situation made the countries involved highly nervous, otherwise North Korea's "regular" military mobilization would not have caused such a big reaction.

Not long after discussion, Zhao Rundong announced the end of the meeting.

Wang Yuanqing and Li Cunxun stayed, and the other personnel left one after another.
