Due to the bad terrain and fierce indigenous people, there are almost no decent roads in the mountainous areas of central Taiwan.

Zhang Zhen: "Unless they go into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare, there are almost no roads, and even the dirt roads in the mountains are intermittent. It is difficult for heavy equipment to pass."

"Oh? Really? Then let's consider going into the mountains." Su Yu said.

Shenyang. The 3rd and 23th armies of the Volunteer Army who returned to China in March rested in Shenyang after leaving North Korea. The volunteer soldiers were greeted by loud gongs, drums and firecrackers, as well as enthusiastic crowds along the way.

Zhang Taofang and Lu Changqing's sniper team had a special discussion with the battalion commander before entering the city.

"Commander, do you want to take the gun out of the bag?"

"Of course you have to take it out, otherwise people will see you carrying a canvas bag, and those who don't know it will think it's a logistics soldier transporting fried noodles."

Zhang Taofang: ...

Fighting in North Korea for seven months and being on duty for six months, Zhang Taofang and Lv Changqing's team fired 351 rounds and hit 237 targets. In addition, they used radio to summon 9 artillery attacks, guiding the destruction of an ammunition depot of the United Nations Army and covering all areas. 1 artillery positions, 4 stationary transport convoys, and 3 motorized infantry on the move.

"Three, just short of three," the commander of the sniper battalion walked in front of Zhang Taofang, turning his head and said to Zhang Taofang, "you only need to kill three more enemies, and the record will reach 3. What is the number of our army? 240th Army! If you kill 24, then this record is too beautiful, and the army commander will be so happy from ear to ear."

"Battalion Commander, sometimes it depends on fate," Lu Changqing said first, "the devils are too skilled in the last three months, and sometimes it takes a whole day to find an outcrop. If there is a sniper from the American devils Hands, the two sides have to calculate each other, once the calculation is completed, the whole day will be gone."

"It's all about calculations. I was almost shot by a heavy machine gun once," Zhang Taofang said. I'm also working hard to increase my record, didn't you see that my hit rate has dropped in the last month, isn't it all to kill a few more kills, and even hit moving targets around 3 meters."

Lu Changqing: "I don't know when the next rotation will be after returning to China this time. If I go to the front line in North Korea, how many enemies can I fight?"

Battalion Commander: "When you return to China, you will definitely miss one round, maybe two rounds. If you say less than seven months, if you say more, it will be 14 months or 21 months. I don't even know if the Yankees can last 21 months..."

Tokyo, United Nations Command.

"The war in Korea must end as soon as possible, and the president wants it to end now if possible."

Inspired by the President, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Bradley sent a very long telegram to United Nations Commander Clark. In the telegram, Eisenhower and Bradley analyzed the situation on the Korean Peninsula and even the Far East in detail.

"The possibility of controlling the entire Korean peninsula and allowing South Korea to border China has ceased to exist since January 1951. Now the Korean peninsula is of value to the United States only because it is the west bank of the Tsushima Strait. As long as South Korea is in the southern part of the Korean peninsula With a part of the region, we can monitor the Tsushima Strait from both sides of the strait, and we can also prevent the Soviet Pacific Fleet from going south. For the maritime interests of the United States in the Western Pacific, this is enough. Therefore, where the truce between North Korea and South Korea is the 1th parallel Whether it is the 37.5-degree line or even the 37-degree line will not affect the fundamental interests of the United States."

"If Syngman Rhee is frustrated and frustrated because he lost half of the Han River Plain, and insists that the United Nations continue to fight against China and North Korea, then convince him. If you can't convince him, let his subordinates persuade (replace) him."

"Both the President and I believe that the biggest hidden danger in the Western Pacific is not the Korean Peninsula and the [-]th Parallel, but the Taiwan Strait. It is impossible for the Korean Peninsula to be completely occupied by North Korea, but Taiwan may be completely occupied by China."

"The president is already planning to change Taiwan's status, adjust Taiwan's sovereignty in terms of jurisprudence, and put Taiwan under the trusteeship of the United Nations. The president and the CIA are sweeping away all forces that hinder the trusteeship of Taiwan by the United Nations, including Chiang Kai-shek himself. Once the United Nations trusteeship of Taiwan The start of the program will inevitably arouse great anger in China. At that time, our navy, air force and army in the Western Pacific will go all out to defend Taiwan. I hope that when the battle to defend Taiwan occurs, the U.S. military will be able to completely The Korean peninsula gets out."

After reading Bradley's telegram, Clark thought for a long time.

"Is our military and political presence in South Korea fully under control now? How many of these people are there?" Clark asked.

"Infiltrated into the South Korean military's intelligence system and high-level officials. However, if a coup is to be launched, these people may not have enough power. The main reason is that we do not have one or two leaders with political prestige and the ability to govern the country." Far East Intelligence Command Charles Willoughby said.

"What if it's not really about overthrowing President Rhee, but just a high-level coup that scares him?"

Charles Willoughby: "If this is the model, maybe the intelligence agency can plan and launch a mutiny. But this mutiny can't really kill Syngman Rhee, it just makes him and his team feel embarrassed. If it is determined To do that, I need some time to plan."

"Report, the negotiating delegation is calling."

Clark took the telegram, read it quickly, and smiled.

"Charles, the coup, oh no, the plan for the mutiny can be prepared a little later. I think there is a turning point now."

"The Chinese and North Korean negotiating delegations made a concession, and the civil administration was returned to South Korea from Dongducheon and the Bukhan River plain south of Pacheon," Clark said.

Chapter 31, ah oh, really signed

"According to Article [-], Paragraph [-] of the armistice agreement, in the Han River North Plain area, the civil administration of Su Yiyi shall be performed by North Korea, and the civil administration of other areas shall be performed by South Korea."

"Only the police agencies of the civil administration agencies stationed in the Republic of Korea and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea can legally wear, store and use firearms."

"The quantity, type and ammunition stockpiles of the weapons used by the police agencies in the North Plain of the Han River shall be approved by the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization and regularly supervised. Powerful firearms. It is forbidden for North Korea and South Korea to provide weapons and ammunition to the police in the demilitarized zone without authorization.”

"Residents in the North Plain of the Han River and non-police civil administration personnel are prohibited from wearing, storing and using heavy weapons, standard and non-standard firearms, and all tubular firearms. This prohibition is not due to the domestic gun control laws of North Korea and South Korea. Changes change. The United Nations Truce Supervision Organization also prohibits other countries in the world from selling guns and ammunition to the Han River North Plain Demilitarized Zone.”

When Turner Joy was the chief representative of the United Nations armistice delegation, he slyly argued that the armistice negotiations only talked about military issues, not political issues or affairs outside the Korean peninsula.This is actually cheating, because the United Nations Army does not want China to include the agenda of "withdrawing foreign troops from the Korean Peninsula" in the terms of the armistice negotiations.However, when the negotiation reached 1953, when the two sides entered the final stage of the negotiation, if they did not discuss the ownership of the demilitarized zone on the North Plain of the Han River, then the negotiation could not proceed.

In the previous armistice negotiations, China and North Korea insisted that the Han River North Plain be divided into two halves, and North Korea and South Korea each get half, but South Korea disagreed.

Then South Korea refused to unconditionally repatriate the prisoners of war in accordance with international conventions, and proposed "voluntary repatriation", but North Korea did not agree.

As a prisoner of war detained in a prisoner-of-war camp without personal freedom, there is no such thing as voluntary or involuntary. You were beaten and forced to press your fingerprints, "I voluntarily stay in South Korea to live", that's it.

The voluntary repatriation of prisoners of war is a blatant violation of international law, and the main reason is that it constitutes a great humiliation to the side with fewer prisoners of war.We are no strangers to voluntary repatriation in history, and the United Nations Army has played this trick on us.This is also one of the reasons why China continued to fight hard in North Korea from 1952 to the first half of 1953: the United Nations Army humiliated people openly and couldn't get angry.

As for now... the volunteers are very peaceful.Especially after the United States is willing to "compensate for the losses caused by the four cross-border bombings of Chinese cities", the mentality is more peaceful.Not to mention more than 700 wounded and disabled prisoners of war had already left the town of prisoners of war in early March and returned to the United States by boat from Dalian.

Now that North Korea wants to prevent its personnel from being eaten up by voluntary repatriation, it has to put forward some conditions before the two sides can get a deal.After several discussions and communications between the prime minister and the chairman, the North Korean side decided to return the civil administration of this area to South Korea.However, although Su Yiyi is also within the boundaries of the demilitarized zone, this village is connected to the north by the southern foot of Guangyan Mountain, so there is no way to return it.

"I guarantee on the honor of the President of the United States: 1953. After the signing of the armistice agreement, a security treaty between the United States and South Korea will be signed; It is recorded in the form of an agreement; 30. If China and North Korea have not fully implemented the agreement within 20 days after the signing of the armistice agreement, the United States will overturn the armistice agreement together with South Korea; [-]. Provide South Korea with equipment and ammunition for [-] army divisions, and To help the South Korean army complete personnel training and strengthen South Korea's navy and air force, this article is also recorded in the form of agreement."

The new progress of the Huachuan negotiations was sent from Chuncheon to Tokyo, and Tokyo quickly sent it to Washington, and in Washington, Eisenhower immediately returned the telegram to Clark and forwarded it to Syngman Rhee.

……

Moscow, Red Square.

An old-style muzzle-loading artillery carriage slowly entered Red Square, and the artillery carriage pulled Stalin's coffin.After processing, Stalin's body will be placed next to Lenin's Mausoleum in Red Square, lying with Comrade Lenin.

Behind the coffin is the funeral crowd.At the front of the crowd, the first row was Khrushchev, Beria, the Prime Minister, Malenkov, Voroshilov, Kaganovich, Bulganin, and Molotov.

Malenkov has the inherent flaws of a "courier". He has no grassroots ruling experience, is not grounded, and is a bit of a bitch. The image contrasts with Stalin's too much. The Soviets secretly nicknamed him "Malenia".In addition, there must always be a balance in the three-person group, and all three people have a share in the cake. In Malenkov's view, Khrushchev is a loyal and bald man who will do everything without complaint, so the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU It was given to Khrushchev.

"Comrade Chairman, Comrade First Secretary," Beria said in a low voice, "Let me first disclose a secret information on a small scale. That thing will complete its test explosion within three to four months."

That thing was the Soviet Union's first thermonuclear weapon.Strictly speaking, it may not be a hydrogen bomb.

When the Soviet Union was developing the atomic bomb, research on thermonuclear fusion weapons had already begun, but it had been in the exploration stage for a long time. In May 1951, the first hydrogen bomb prototype in the United States exploded. The Soviet Union felt that the task of developing a hydrogen bomb was more urgent, but it has not been able to understand the mechanism of the radiation implosion configuration, and is still making explorations in various directions.The first plan that the Soviets thought of was a "heterogeneous" configuration that mixed uranium-5 and heavy water, and then Sakharov proposed an improved "thousand-layer cake" plan, using deuterated lithium instead of heavy water- 238. Lithium deuteride-6 and uranium-6 are alternately wrapped around the atomic bomb layer by layer.

The Soviet special committee ordered the "thousand-layer cake"-shaped hydrogen bomb to be listed as a priority research and development program. It is now March 1953, and the first sample bomb RDS-3 has been manufactured and assembled in the workshop.

"It's really good news that the balance between the Soviet Union and the United States in terms of strategic weapons will soon be restored. However," said Malenkov, "a world war with the use of nuclear weapons would mean the destruction of modern civilization, so there will be no real winners in a future world war, I'm afraid there's no point in a nuclear arms race either."

Beria smiled along, but shook his head in a less obvious way after a while.

"The Korean War is coming to an end." Molotov said, "The reason why the United States is so restrained in North Korea is because the Soviet Union has an atomic bomb in its hands."

"What, North Korea is about to cease war?" Khrushchev was surprised. "Comrade Prime Minister, can you confirm what Comrade Molotov said just now?"

The Prime Minister quietly listened to the translation in the back row, and then replied: "Now the negotiations are coming to an end. If the United States is sincere in the negotiations and keeps its promises, we are willing to sign an armistice agreement with them to restore peace on the Korean peninsula."
