Chapter 9 Inchon Landing (3)
Zhongnanhai, Chairman's Office.
The chairman paced back and forth in the room, and Commander-in-Chief Zhu said, "Chairman, what should we do now? Should we fight or not? This American has actually started to participate in the war!"
The chairman pondered: "The purpose of the Americans to establish the Far East Command is self-evident, and now they have begun to participate in the battle on a small scale. Although it is currently only concentrated on the South Korean side, I am sure that the Americans will definitely make big moves soon. As for where the Americans attack, I am still a little hesitant!"
Commander-in-Chief Zhu spread out the map and said: "The Americans attacked nothing more than two places. The first place was here. They organized large-scale troops from South Korea to defeat the Northern Dynasties' army. With the Americans' combat power, this will definitely lead to victory in the end."
The chairman said: "But in this case, the casualties of the US military will not be too small. The terrain of the Northern Dynasties was very complicated, and it was difficult for American tanks and cannons to play any role. The dense forests were gathered, and the planes were like eagles blinded and had no idea to start. If I were an American, what should I do?"
The chairman thought, staring at the map with his eyes tightly. Commander-in-Chief Zhu continued: "There is another method, but this method is really risky. If the Americans implement landing on the beach from the Incheon line, I'm afraid..."
"President Zhu, what do you mean is that Americans may take risks and implement forced landings on the Incheon front line, which has a strong defense? But as far as I know, the port of Incheon Port is very complicated, and I heard that the Northern Dynasties sent heavy troops to guard it! If this is the case, if the Americans want to land, wouldn't they send it to their own tiger's mouth?" the chairman said in a deep voice.
Obviously, the Chairman would definitely be risky if the Americans really did this, but the Chairman believed that the Americans who had always been conceited would likely choose this unexpected way.
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "I think it is unlikely, but who can tell the truth about military strategy accurately? The more unlikely it is, the more unexpected it can be. The Chairman should understand this principle the most, right? Haha!"
The chairman smiled and said, "No matter what they are, it is not the time for us to participate. What we have to do now is to wait and see. Kim Il-sung did this time, and it is indeed a bit inappropriate. It is time for us to teach them a lesson! Are the Soviets so easy to believe? We no longer believed in them during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and only a small country like North Korea can believe in the so-called big brother of the Soviet Union!"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "The Soviets are using North Korea. I think even if North Korea knows, there is no way. Now they are in a difficult position. It is not difficult for us to see from the content of Kim Il-sung's reply to us. In fact, they are already scared, so what we have to do now is wait for them to get hit. At this time, the effect of our participation will be better!"
The Chairman said: "We have no choice in fighting with the Americans. Speaking of which, if we can not fight, I actually don't want to fight this war. But there is an old saying in China that people are bullied by others and horses are ridden by others! If we blindly tolerate, what we will definitely not exchange for is peace, but the loss of dignity and a shame to the nation. I have no choice either!"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "We have persisted in the War of Resistance. Is there anything more difficult than that? I admit that we are not as good as the United States in terms of military strength and weapons and equipment, but Americans have one thing that will never be as good as us, that is our tenacity and unyielding spirit!"
The chairman smiled and said, "The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road! This sentence is good. Sometimes weapons and equipment cannot represent the final result. In fact, if there is no chance of winning, I will never send troops. If the Americans want to fight us, they will inevitably pay a heavy price. Our country is now poor, but the United States is different. They have great pressure on domestic public opinion."
The Chairman has already understood this very clearly. If the war cannot be ended in a short period of time, the public opinion in the United States will never give up. However, the Chairman also knows that if we want to truly establish the prestige of a great power, we must establish authority. The target of establishing authority must not be found in the weak, the stronger the better.
The first of the two recognized superpowers in the world is the United States and the second is the Soviet Union. For the Soviet Union, the Chairman also knew that no matter what the reasons and purposes, large-scale wars could never break out with the Soviet Union. There is no need for internal struggles, and in the end it will still be a joke for others.
But the United States is different. The Chairman believes that this war is not impossible to fight, but it is very necessary to fight. First of all, it will put pressure on others, that is, we don’t even frown when we beat Americans. Those little fish and shrimps who are jumping, don’t you know your own strength?
Another thing is that the chairman thinks that the Americans are not that scary. As long as they go to the Korean Peninsula without self-harm, they will be able to achieve good results in this war.
Of course, all this is just the Chairman's thoughts, although there are some guarantees. In fact, the Chairman has no confidence in his heart. After all, the reputation of the United States is not something that can win. If courage alone can win, then why are they going to continue to grow and grow?
When the Chairman thought of the issue of nuclear weapons, he felt a little scared. These things are unconventional weapons. But China does not. If China also has them, Americans would not dare to use this thing. So in the Chairman's opinion, if China wants to become a superpower, then nuclear weapons must be available.
The chairman asked: "President Zhu, is there anyone in our country who can study the atomic bomb?"
Mr. Zhu smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a small fuss. It is said that the technical content here is very high. How can we have any research talents specializing in this area? But I heard that there seem to be some Chinese scientists abroad who also study these!"
The Chairman said in a deep voice: "At all costs, we must escort these people to the country safely. Our country is suffering too many losses now, but it covers up three ugliness! As long as we have an atomic bomb, at least it will be a qualitative leap in national defense. At that time, if those countries without atomic bombs want to make mistakes with us, they may not even have the courage to fight."
In history, the President really started to work on this issue in 1950s, but now it has been seven or eight years ahead of schedule. All of this has been caused by the crisis-ridden international situation, which has led to the President's sense of crisis constantly increasing.
Mr. Zhu nodded. He actually agreed with this point, but now they have no suitable way to solve this problem. Now that the chairman wants to solve this problem, they can only use their greatest strength to solve this problem. Of course, whether it is successful or not is not their final say. They can only give their best.
The Chairman continued: "North Korea's offense is still good now, but it is obviously not as good as before. If the morale of South Korea was not completely gone, I'm afraid North Korea wouldn't have been so smooth, right?"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "This is also impossible. South Korea itself is no match for North Korea. After being attacked and eaten by several divisions, they had no confidence. I think if it weren't for the fact that there were Americans, I'm afraid North Korea's unification would have been successful at this moment."
The chairman nodded and said, "I'm afraid this is true, but this doesn't matter to us. How are our domestic situation now? How are the troops deployed?"
Mr. Zhu said: "Peng Dehuai's main force of the Northwest Field Army has gathered and stood on standby, Huaye, Dongye, and Zhongye are also ready to go. In addition, the 18th Army is only waiting for your order from the Chairman!"
The chairman smiled and said, "Hehe, the 18th Army is very active, but Wang Mingyu probably knew that if it was not the most dangerous moment, we would probably not be able to send troops. Let them prepare themselves. The military orders will fall like a mountain!"
President Zhu smiled and said, "Xiao Wang still has this awareness. Speaking of which, I admire the little guy's vision more and more. Chairman, why did he go to Northeast China from the beginning? Do you think he had seen this happening today?"
Mr. Zhu suspected that there was no reason. Looking at Wang Mingyu basically had no mistakes since the beginning, as if he was just a prediction of the uncertainty, and he has created so many miracles repeatedly, which makes people look at him with some admiration. At least Mr. Zhu has never seen such a wonderful person.
The chairman laughed and said, "The contrast between the past and the future is so big that it is hard to imagine! I don't believe it now if he was a young master from a family who could only eat, drink and have fun, but the information obtained by our underground party members at that time was like this. I can only say that Xiao Wang is too tolerant. I didn't expect that under such a bohemian appearance, there was a passionate patriotism hidden."
"As long as you are talented, we welcome it, and most importantly, Xiao Wang's contribution to us is not only on superficial military strength. In the past year, Xiao Wang has made breakthroughs in many fields. We have produced fertilizers? Although it is not a large-scale production now, the effect is obvious. I believe that as long as we only have three years, we can ensure that we have enough food and clothing." Mr. Zhu smiled with a gratitude.
"Haha, this is also what I am most pleased with. A person's contribution to the country is so great that it is difficult for you to refuse any reason. Speaking of which, if I was not afraid of everyone's opposition, I would just give Xiao Wang a position as Vice Chairman of the Military Commission? But Xiao Wang was a general of the National Army before, and many people were resistant!" The chairman sighed.
"Well, the commander of an army is really a little too stingy. I think even if he is not the vice chairman of the Military Commission, he should at least be given an independent military region? Just as the chairman said, people's words are terrifying! And Xiao Wang also understands our difficulties!" said Mr. Zhu.
The chairman smiled and said, "Hehe, but isn't it an opportunity now? Could it be that you forgot, what did this little king start with? War! When it comes to war, I'm afraid that almost no one in our army can compete with him, at least in terms of combat performance."
Mr. Zhu said: "I have discussed this issue at the meeting before, but everyone is very enthusiastic, especially Comrade Lin Biao sneering at Xiao Wang. I don't know why this is the case? Of course, Comrade Lin Biao is indeed a good player in war. He believes that giving him equal troops and the same equipment will not be worse than Wang Mingyu, and he even needs to do better!"
The chairman said: "I agree with Lin Biao's words, but while I agree, I not only ask, who gave these equipment to Wang Mingyu? Who trained these troops to be so strong in combat? You must be self-aware. I also recognize Comrade Lin Biao's ability, but it is a bit inferior to the public to slander the famous generals of the War of Resistance. Moreover, Comrade Lin Biao is one of the few people who know that Comrade Wang Mingyu is one of our people. What is he going to do?"
Mr. Zhu smiled and said, "This question was raised during the War of Liberation. At that time, I just laughed it off. After all, no one would take it seriously! Comrades like Lin Biao also came from big and small battles, and naturally they were a little dissatisfied with Wang Mingyu. This is also a good thing. Only with competition can there be pressure!"
The chairman said: "Well, I won't talk about this topic anymore. How is Lin Biao's troops prepared in the Northeast?"
Mr. Zhu said: "Lin Biao's troops have always required that if they participate in the war, their fourth field must fight the main force. He also said that he would personally command the battle, hoping to temporarily place the 18th Army in the fourth field sequence."
The chairman sneered: "Lin Biao's plan was really good. What he valued is the combat effectiveness of the 18th Army. I think he valued the most were the aircraft, cannons and tanks of the 18th Army?"
President Zhu said: "By the way, Chairman, has Xiao Wang not reported to you recently? He seems to be buying a tank again. I don't know the specific situation, but it is said that the number is still quite large. This kid is waving the dollars in his hand all day long, haha!"
The Chairman's eyes lit up and said, "Are you sure? Where did you get this news?"
Mr. Zhu said: "The last time Xiao Wang came back, I chatted with him for a while and he mentioned it, but he said it was very difficult and he would tell us when the goods were actually arrived. I haven't talked about it yet, obviously it's not a good time for us to ask at this time!"
Chapter completed!
