readx; On the Korean battlefield, Wonsan has been conquered, and the Yue army in Busan is only stubbornly resisting, and in the face of the Chinese army, which is constantly increasing its strength and artillery, the Yue army in Busan has no chance to hold Busan.

To a certain extent, by March, the Korean war had been completely set in style, and even if the army had the favor of Amaterasu, it would not be possible to get a chance to turn the tables.

Except for the Sixth Army, which was subordinate to the First Army, continued to move south, and the Eighteenth Army, which was preparing to reinforce the direction of Busan, completely conquered Busan, all other units had entered a period of recuperation.

In fact, after the Battle of Anju, the 14th Army had already withdrawn from the first line and carried out rest, after the Battle of Wonsan, the 17th Army also withdrew from the front line and entered the rest, and the Eighth Army also returned to Seoul to recuperate.

The 13th and 15th armies of the Second Army were also resting in the northeastern part of Korea.

Although Chen Jingyun had no intention of landing in his heart, the army had to make preparations to cross the sea to attack the mainland, after all, no one could say anything about the future, so the 47th Division under the 14th Army had already begun relevant training for crossing the sea and landing.

As for Busan, which has not yet been taken, it is impossible to hold out for too long in the face of a joint attack by the Chinese First Army and the naval and air force aviation.

When the overall situation of the Korean war has been decided, a large number of foreign and political affairs have collided.

"This is a letter of inquiry from the British Ambassador, Sir Lampson!" Gu Weijun, Minister of Foreign Affairs, said: "The British side has obvious intentions, they want to meddle in the war between our country and Ben!" ”

Shi Zhaoji, who has stepped down from the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and is currently an adviser to the Presidential Office, said: "This is late, not early, but at this time, they are trying to deceive me and no one in China!" ”

Shi Zhaoji and Gu Weijun, who are in charge of China's diplomatic work, said in front of Chen Jingyun that there was naturally a reason, and within a few days of the Chinese Army taking Yuanshan, the British side immediately jumped out and said that it could mediate the war between China and the two countries.

And France, which is closely behind the British, also said: France is willing to make efforts for peace between China and China!

And the United States, which has always supported China's war against China, even advocated that China and the two countries mediate this time, so it didn't take long for Britain, France, and the United States to jointly mediate the war between China.

"Hmph, who do they think they are, they will mediate when they say mediation!" General Ma Cheng, a member of the Central Committee of the State Military Commission, said coldly at this time: "Even if there is a truce, then we have to cease the war before we want to cease the war, what are they!" ”

Hearing Ma Cheng's unkind words, Gu Weijun on the side smiled, he has been engaged in diplomacy for so many years, Gu Weijun always maintains the expression of a professional diplomat on his face, even if he submits a declaration of war, he is always smiling and calm. Smiling doesn't mean he agrees with someone else.

"It's true that they're not things, but in this situation, their opinions can't be ignored!" Gu Weijun, who has been dealing with foreign countries for a long time, obviously knows better than a large number of high-ranking military generals in China how strong the combined strength of Britain, France, and the United States is.

"According to what they are revealing now, they hope that we and Ben will remain in the current state and that the North Korean issue can be postponed, but if our army continues to cross the Tsushima Strait, it will very likely lead to hostility between Britain, France, and the United States against our country!"

Gu Weijun glanced at Ma Cheng at this time, and said: "After all, we have beaten the 'Ben' half to death now, and if we still land on the 'Ben' mainland, then it will be equivalent to completely defeating the 'Ben'!" At that time, our country will become the biggest enemy of Britain, France, the United States and other countries in the East Asian region, and for them, this will seriously damage their interests! ”

As the top leader of the entire country, he is more aware of the opportunities and challenges facing China than many officials and generals below.

The opportunity is the economic crisis of the world's surname, and if China, with its large population, can fully tap the domestic consumer market, then it will be able to raise the domestic industrial economy to a huge level. After defeating the capital, it will be able to obtain more markets in East Asia and important minerals in the Korean region.

For example, iron ore and uranium ore in North Korea. Although North Korea has one of Asia's largest iron ore mines, the Mosan Iron Mine, China does not have much demand for North Korea's iron ore.

It is a country that lacks mineral resources, and coal, iron ore, oil and other rare minerals are heavily dependent on imports. Needless to say, oil was a country that was severely short of oil, and imported oil from China, the United States, and Southeast Asia before the war. In terms of steel, the steel production of the company mainly relies on iron ore and scrap iron imported from the United States, but there are also a small amount of iron ore in the country and iron ore developed from North Korea. In terms of coal, it is partly produced domestically, partly obtained from North Korea, and the rest is imported from China.

Although China was said to be in a state of hostility, before the outbreak of war in 1930, the economic and trade activities of the two countries were very active, and they were relatively dependent on China's oil, coal, iron ore and other rare minerals.

After the outbreak of the war, China naturally would not continue to provide resources to the country, but now that it has occupied Korea, it will be very troublesome to obtain a large amount of mineral resources in the future.

Unlike the "Ben", except for a few types of minerals, China itself does not lack the mineral resources needed for major industrialization, at most some minerals are somewhat insufficient. The main minerals, such as coal, iron ore and oil, do not need to be imported at present, and there is even a surplus that can be exported. So in this case, China is not in urgent need of North Korean iron ore, but North Korea's iron ore is not very important to China, but North Korea's uranium ore is very important to China.

Although Chen Jingyun is not an expert in minerals, he also knows that China's own uranium ore is not sufficient, and the quality is low, and China has another area to choose from, the Kazakh region, but the Kazakh region is in the military confrontation area between China and Soviet Russia, and the territory occupied by China is not large, and the area east of Lake Balkhash can actually be controlled, and the area west of Lake Balkhash is controlled by Soviet Russia.

The main area of Kazakhstan is occupied by Soviet Russia, so it is natural that there will be no large-scale development of uranium mines, and if there are North Korean uranium mines, it will be much easier for China's future development of atomic bombs, at least there is no need to worry about not finding uranium mines.

In addition to being able to exploit North Korea's minerals, it can also gain a market for domestic industrial products, and the defeat of the military in North Korea also means that this product will be withdrawn from the North Korean market, and the gap left by their departure will naturally be filled by China's industrial products, and this market will provide a new growth engine for China's economic recovery.

Naturally, there are many benefits to occupying North Korea.

But there are also advantages and dangers, and the most important point is that with the defeat of Ben in Korea, it is very likely that Ben will join forces with the United Kingdom, the United States, and other European and American countries to counter China's assertiveness in East Asia.

Just like China before it, China and the United States have joined forces to counter the powerful one, and even Britain has acquiesced in China's rise.

Time has passed, and the relationship between the strength and weakness of the current China and the United States has changed, and in this case, it will become a great possibility for Britain and the United States to support the rise of the United States against China.

In addition, after several defeats and the seizure of Korea, he said that "Ben would regard China as his greatest enemy, and that Ben would not have changed its strategic direction to the southward as Chen Jingyun had hoped" under the threat of China's navy and air force at any time. After all, they are not stupid, they will not take the risk of adopting a southward expansion policy in the face of a serious threat from China in their own homeland, if they really want to do that, it will definitely be said that the military and political leaders of Ben are collectively cerebral palsy, and Chen Jingyun will wake up laughing in his dreams.

What Chen Jingyun needs at present is to avoid saying, 'Ben completely falls to the side of Britain and the United States.'

Chen Jingyun did not intend to pay attention to the mediation of the three countries, even if it was a truce, he did not intend to let Britain, France and the United States intervene, he could directly talk to him.

When Gu Weijun understood what Chen Jingyun meant, he found the original aspect and revealed the tone of the armistice negotiations.

But this news made him say, "There is another fierce controversy in China."

"We have not yet failed in Korea, the defenders of Busan are still holding on, even if Busan is lost, we will be able to recapture North Korea if we remobilize our troops to land in North Korea, in this case, it is absolutely impossible for them to cede North Korea!" Many of the army's high-ranking generals have the intention of counterattacking Korea, so they want to do their best to keep Busan, the only stronghold.

However, he said: "The navy no longer has any confidence in a counterattack on Korea, in other words, it has no confidence in the army." Among the many remarks within the Navy, those who were greatly dissatisfied with the defeat of the Army accused the Army of doing nothing as they did in the previous war.

In the face of the accusations of the navy, he said: "This army really can't refute it, the defeat of the DPRK lost more than 300,000 troops, and finally tens of thousands of people were withdrawn in the Wonsan area with the help of the navy, otherwise the whole army would have been wiped out."

In a series of battles with the Chinese Navy, although the losses were relatively large, there was no complete defeat, and the Navy was still able to protect the security of the coast and still control the Tsushima Strait.

And in the foreseeable war in the future, if China wants to carry out a landing operation against the country, it will have to rely on the navy.

There is no hope of counterattacking North Korea, but we must not let the state of war continue, China's Chen Jingyun wants to end this war and continue economic construction, and Hamaguchi Yuyuki also wants to end the war. He said, "The economic situation in the country is already very serious, and it is not easy to have a good time under the economic crisis, and in addition to a war with China in North Korea, and more importantly, it has lost the war, and after losing this important raw material and market in North Korea, the economy is even more sad, and so on all kinds of circumstances add up to make the economic situation extremely grim."

In addition, Hamaguchi Yuyuki was opposed to the war from the beginning, and now after the defeat of the army in Korea, Hamaguchi Yuyuki has directly aimed the spearhead at the army, and in addition, he said that "the navy is adding fuel to the fire, which makes the public opinion in the country extremely unfavorable to the army" and puts the responsibility for the defeat of Korea on the army.

After the border conflict broke out in mid-November 1930, Shirakawa Yoshiro supported the offensive of the troops stationed in North Korea, and was one of the few senior generals in the army who supported the war with China.

Now, after the defeat of Korea, it is said that "the responsibility has been put on the head of the army in the country, and the army has been forced to put forward several heavyweight senior generals to take responsibility, so Senior General Shirakawa Yoshinori officially announced his retirement from active duty on March 15, and he was accompanied by several other high-ranking army generals."

Interestingly, since several high-ranking generals of the army retired from active duty at the same time, in order to balance the number of senior generals of the army and navy, several senior generals of the navy also retired from active service, but unlike the high-ranking generals of the army who retired from active duty, several high-ranking generals who retired from active duty in this navy were all marginal roles.

On 20 March, after the army, navy, and political circles had experienced large-scale high-level turmoil, Yuyuki Hamaguchi and the navy finally overcame the army's opposition and replied for the first time to China's proposal for peace talks, expressing their willingness to negotiate for the sake of peace between the two countries.

Although the two sides did not even put forward the conditions for peace talks at this time, it was finally a small start.
