.The convoy drove far away, and Ma Mingtao fell up from the hiding grass and walked onto the road.

Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong dispersed to both sides and followed Ma Mingtao on the road.

"Damn it!" Ma Mingtao looked back at Mu Haoyang and said, "We are one step late. That is the convoy of the Guard Battalion of the regiment headquarters."

"They go to Panmunjom?"

Ma Mingtao nodded and said, "Did you start to hear gunshots? Han Yuanhe definitely controlled Cui Yongguang, and then sent someone to Panmunjom to take refuge in the US-South Korea coalition forces."

"Then we have to go over quickly and rescue Cui Yongguang."

"For the three of us?" Ma Mingtao looked at Mu Haoyang with a very admirable look and said, "Even if Han Yuanhe didn't take off his sword, he would be more vigilant. You are special forces, not the terminator of the 'future warrior', and I don't want to die young."

"What should I do now?" Pang Yuelong walked over.

"Leave here first, then send the message back and wait for new instructions." Ma Mingtao left the road and walked towards the woods to the south.

"Do nothing?" Mu Haoyang chased after him.

"Of course, we can't do anything."

Mu Haoyang sighed and did not argue with Ma Mingtao.

When Li Guoqiang received the message from Ma Mingtao, he also received messages from other channels. Cui Yongguang had been executed by Han Yuanhe for treason. The Fourth Corps was returning to the camp. Han Yuanhe asked all officers at the battalion level and above to return to the headquarters and prepare to return to Pyongyang to quell the rebellion.

Is there a rebellion in Pyongyang?

Han Yuanhe's purpose was not to quell the rebellion, but to use it to control the middle and senior officers of the Fourth Legion, so as not to cause trouble for those officers who did not want to follow him.

The situation is clear at a glance. Han Yuanhe has rebelled and will soon surrender to the US-South Korea Allied Forces.

Fu Xiubo's judgment was very accurate. Cui Yongguang's journey to Kaicheng not only failed to stabilize the Fourth Legion, but instead lost his life. Perhaps he forced Han Yuan and the rebellion.

When Li Guoqiang returned to the conference room, leaders such as Fu Xiubo were discussing the situation in North Korea.

Seeing the solemn expression of the Minister of Intelligence, Li Pingko, who was speaking, stopped.

"Latest news, Choi Yongkwang was executed by Han Yuanhe on the charge of killing Kim Il-jeong. Han Yuanhe sent people to Panmunjom to take refuge in the United States and South Korea."

"Is the news accurate?" Li Pingkoo seemed very shocked.

"It's true that Han Yuanhe has ordered the Fourth Corps to return to the camp and summon officers at or above the battalion level to return to the headquarters."

Fu Xiubo exhaled and said, "We have tried our best but still failed to stabilize the situation. The war is about to break out, so we have to set the basic policy immediately."

The topic shifts, now it is not how to stop war, but how to deal with war.

"First of all, fight, or not!" Fu Xiubo glanced at the participants and said, "The United States deliberately provoked a war, definitely not to overthrow the Kim regime, but to seize the entire North Korea. It either helps South Korea unify North Korea or support the pro-American regime in North Korea."

"Then we must fight, we will never be ruthless!" Lu Fenglie's attitude was very tough.

"How to fight, what to fight?" Wen Tinggui still opposed participating in the war. "The initiative is not in our hands, and we don't have much advantage. I don't know much about the situation of the army, but the domestic economic and social environment cannot support a large-scale local war. If we fight, it will be extremely harmful to us and the consequences are difficult to imagine. If we declare war with the United States, all the construction achievements over the past thirty years will be wasted."

"If you don't fight, it will harm us more!" Li Pingko was very excited and robbed Lu Fenglie's topic. "In more than 30 years of economic construction, we have achieved remarkable achievements. When the enemy is forced to the doorstep, our construction results will be seriously threatened. If you want to protect the construction results, you have to fight, keep the enemy out of the country's gates, and use your actions to tell the guys who covet us that we are not afraid of war, have the courage and have the ability to defend our interests!"

"This is a war in Korea, not ours!"

"North Korea is our friendly neighbor. We have signed a "Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Aid" with us. Even neighboring countries cannot protect them. What else can we use to protect ourselves?"

Wen Tinggui sighed and said, "The United States provoked a war, and its intention was not in North Korea, but us. There are many opportunities for a peaceful resolution in this incident, but the United States did not seize the opportunity, indicating that the fundamental purpose of the United States is to let us participate in the war. Because we are not sure what the United States wants to do, we must be careful before making decisions related to the war. If we take the first step, we cannot look back."

"But……"

"Comrade Tinggui is right. At this point, the United States has been trying to drag us into war. If we make a rash decision, the consequences are unimaginable." Fu Xiubo stepped in to stop the quarrel and said, "If we don't participate in the war, the consequences are obvious. North Korea will fall into the hands of the United States. We will lose one of our only allies and lose the main voice in Northeast Asia. We will be in an absolutely unfavorable position in future regional relations and regional diplomacy. From the perspective of international relations, our weak performance in North Korea will inevitably have an impact on allies, including Pakistan, lose more friends, and become lonely. In the long run,

It is equivalent to adding a hot spot outside South Asia, the South China Sea, Taiwan and the East China Sea, which makes our geographical situation worse and has to spend more effort to solve the surrounding problems for a long time in the future. To put it seriously, losing the Korean Peninsula is equivalent to losing the last outer line of defense. The strategic encirclement against us will be tighter. We will be forced to carry out strategic contraction. The United States can free up its hands to solve the legacy of the Iraq War and the Afghan War. As long as the financial crisis continues, the decline of the United States will be inevitable, and we will lose the best opportunity to expand our international influence and gain more say."

Fu Xiubo's words were reasonable and well-founded, but Wen Tinggui did not refute them.

"If you fight, there are many problems." Fu Xiubo sighed and said, "As Comrade Tinggui said, we have too many internal problems, and we are not prepared for the national economy, social environment, public perception, and even the military status. Although Comrade Tinggui's concerns are a bit redundant, for example, if we go to war with the United States, will our dollar assets be affected? I think there is no need to worry. Before the United States moves our assets, it must consider the investment of American companies in our country and the benefits brought to American companies by the Chinese market."

"Most of our assets in the United States belong to either the government or state-owned enterprises, and most of the U.S. investment in our country belongs to private enterprises. According to international law, the U.S. has the right to freeze our state-owned assets, but we cannot touch private enterprises in the United States."

"Well, we are prepared for this." Fu Xiubo smiled and then began the topic, "But we must consider other impacts of participating in the war, such as whether the tough-standard military operations will have an impact on other countries, especially neighboring countries that have disputes with us, making them more dependent on the United States. Of course, they are very dependent on the United States now, and even Vietnam has defected to the United States. The most important thing is our internal environment, whether it has the ability to support this war, and whether it will cause social unrest because of the war."

"I believe that the people can understand and support the enemy." Li Pingko's tone was not soft, but his confidence was not enough.

"What I worry most is this problem." Wen Tinggui did not argue with Li Pingko, saying, "In today's society, I'm afraid not many people can understand why we fight with the most powerful country in the world and have close economic and trade exchanges for a neighbor who is closed to the country, not enterprising, or even not friendly. The war is ignited, and the biggest victim is not soldiers, but civilians. Even if the war can be blocked from the country, it will cause thousands of export enterprises to go bankrupt, millions, or even tens of millions of workers to lose their jobs. We are not rich, and hundreds of millions of people are fighting for survival. Because the war has caused economic collapse, the people not only cannot understand, but will not support it. When the domestic turmoil, the army will inevitably be affected. There will be no fighting spirit and the soldiers will have no fighting spirit, and the hope of defeating the enemy is very slim."

"Then we have to keep the impact of war to a minimum."

"How to control it?" Wen Tinggui asked directly.

Li Pingkoo didn't answer it at once because it was not an easy question to answer.

"What we are discussing now is whether to fight or not, not how to fight. How to control the scope of the war and discuss it later." Fu Xiubo brought the topic back, "If you have no objection, vote, and the minority obeys the majority. Please consider it carefully."

Is there hope in voting?

When Li Guoqiang left the conference room, he saw that Fu Xiubo kept Wen Tinggui, Li Pingko found another leader, and Lu Fenglie was also looking for someone to chat with him privately.

There are many people who oppose participating in the war, but no one can ignore the issues mentioned by Fu Xiubo.

The attitude of the army cannot be ignored.

Li Guoqiang knew Lu Fenglie very well. This general who didn't speak much was very tempered and very tough.

Two years ago, the chairman of the US Joint Joint Association visited China and proposed to visit the Second Artillery Base. Because it was arranged by the above, Lu Fenglie could not refuse, so he could only let Li Guoqiang make a special arrangement and take the US general to a nuclear weapon base that is about to be scrapped, conveying a lot of meaningless information. This incident caused a lot of controversy, resulting in the US military once believed that China's strategic nuclear warheads were far more than 150 claimed. In the subsequent follow-up visit, Lu Fenglie put huge pressure on the US military, allowing the US military to stare at China's strategic nuclear warheads and allow the aircraft carrier to be successfully launched and tested.

Although Lu Fenglie only said one thing at the meeting, no one dared to ignore his attitude.

If you really want to enter North Korea to fight, Lu Fenglie is definitely the key figure.

Compared with his peers across the ocean, Li Guoqiang has a much lower position in the decision-making level and has almost no say. Having a say is not necessarily a good thing. For Chandler, he is both secretly happy about what just happened and has many doubts. If a lieutenant general commander can change history, what are they?

Fortunately, this is a good thing, not a bad thing.
