It is not impossible to resolve conflicts, but the time is not ripe.

After the third battle began, the United States and Japan successively submitted diplomatic notes to the Republic, demanding that the Republic stop military operations as soon as possible and conduct armistice negotiations with South Korea. Subsequently, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and even Russia sent diplomatic notes to the Republic, hoping that the Republic could "restrain".

Diplomatic struggles are no more than military struggles. In addition to being strong, they also have to be reasonable.

On the 13th, Wang Yuanqing asked Foreign Minister Huang Guowei to notify the United States and Japan respectively, and proposed three major programs for armistice negotiations with South Korea: First, South Korea surrendered unconditionally, and North Korea was the only legal regime on the Korean Peninsula; second, it handed over war criminals, including Liu Zongchun, who deliberately provoked war to the Republic or North Korea's military court for trial; third, the United States, which directly participated in the war and Japan, which indirectly participated in the war, apologized to the Republic and North Korea and paid the losses to the war.

The diplomatic note clearly mentioned that the Republic will consider armistice negotiations only if the United States and Japan make clear commitments.

If the United States and Japan accept the conditions issued by the Republic, there is no need to conduct a ceasefire negotiation, because it is equivalent to admitting South Korea's defeat and acknowledging the fait accompli of the Korean Peninsula.

The problem is that the United States and Japan have no choice.

If the conditions of the Muran State are not accepted, the Republic can achieve the same goal by war, and the war will end at the latest in March. As long as the Republican team occupied Busan, the nature of the armistice negotiations will undergo a decisive change, and South Korea, which exists as an independent country, will become history.

There is not much time left for Wested to make decisions.

On January 19, Westwood told a well-known figure in American society at the previous cocktail party that the United States will not make South Korea history and will do all its efforts to support South Korea.

Speak. Take substantial action without waiting.

Westwood officially took office as US President at 20 Eastern Time.

Compared with his predecessor, Westwood's inauguration ceremony was very short. After returning to the White House, the new president signed the first presidential decree as quickly as possible: freeze South Korean assets in the United States.

Perhaps the United States is more concerned about how to recover costs.

On that day, the second fleet of munitions and supplies arrived in Busan. Dozens of fast cargo ships sent life-saving straws to the South Korean army in dire straits.

On the same day, the army occupied Seoul in full.

Although US Secretary of State Brudering set off for Beijing on the first day after taking office and officially visited the Republic, Brudering's trip to Beijing would not have any results when the United States was unwilling to make any promises.

At 9:30 on January 22, Gu Weimin met with Bruderlin, and the two negotiated behind closed doors for nearly 2 hours.

Bruderlin met with Wang Yuanqing afterwards, and the two did not conduct closed-door consultations. Among the main topics of discussion, in addition to the Peninsula War, there was also a trade war between the two countries.

In the words of Ye Zhisheng, the chief assistant to the Republic of Deputy Head of State, the Republic is more concerned about trade disputes between China and the United States.

The Republic's attitude is obvious, but as long as the United States is unwilling to make concessions, the Republic will not discuss all issues related to the Peninsula War with the United States at the negotiating table.

When Brudering was still visiting Beijing, the offensive preparations on the Peninsula battlefield had been fully launched.

On the afternoon of the 25th, the U.S. fleet had just left Busan, the Hokkaido Air Force and the Navy Air Force dispatched thousands of fighter jets and carried out high-intensity bombings on Busan for 6 hours.

This round of bombing almost completely defeated the fighting spirit of the Korean army.

After the bombing, the entire Busan was shrouded in flames and thick smoke. The rising flames could be seen by even the Japanese on the island facing the strait. More than 2 million tons of materials hoarded in the port were completely destroyed. The ammunition that was exploded not only destroyed the port infrastructure, but also caused thousands of casualties among the South Korean officers and soldiers.

That night, the pseudo-Korean President Liu Zongchun fled from Busan and headed for Ulsan.

Early the next morning, the South Korean Western Fleet left Busan and headed for Pohang.

Because Busan completely lost its ability to be a port, starting from the 26th, the Republic Air Force and Navy Air Force focused on bombing Ulsan, Pohang and Daegu.

On the night of the 26th, in order to prevent the South Korean fleet from fleeing, the Republic's Navy Air Force carried out a "special mission".

Two brigades of j-115ba fighter jets took off from the aircraft carrier and the South Korean western fleet that had just entered Pohang launched a key strike.

The bombing was very smooth and it also received significant results.

Photos taken through reconnaissance satellites: It is clear that 11 large warships were either sunk, beached, or burned in the port, and only a few speedboats escaped the attack.

In the early morning of the 27th, the army expanded its combat scope.

At least one squadron's j-14 flew over the Korean Strait and patrolled the north side of the strait.

This move immediately attracted high attention from Japan. Before Liang, Japanese fighter jets appeared over the southern waters of the strait, but neither side crossed the middle line of the strait and did not provoke a conflict.

From then on, the Republic Air Force's fighter jets patrolled the Tsushima Strait uninterrupted.

The intention is obvious: to prevent Liu Zongchun from escaping.

Since Westwood shouted "do everything to support South Korea", the United States will definitely support South Korea's exile politics when necessary

The spokesperson is definitely South Korea's democratically elected President Liu Zongchun. No matter what, preventing Liu Zongchun from fleeing is the best way to ultimately solve the peninsula problem.

At this time, the most important thing is the preparations for the fourth battle.

After confirming the troops participating in the war, Pei Chengyi returned to Shenyang on the 211th.

As the main force in defending the logistics supply line, the 611th Army and the 27th Army took the lead in moving south to Qingzhou to replace the 77th Army. The 54th Army, which had been resting and resting in northern Korea, headed south on the 23rd to Suoka. The 77th Army, the 38th Army and five air assault brigades rested and recuperated on the spot.

On the 24th, the 39th Army handed over the Seoul defense to the army and set off to return home.

In order to express respect for the 39th Army, Xiang Yinghui personally went to the 39th Army in Dandong to hold a grand return ceremony. Because other combat troops were still in North Korea, the 39th Army was not only the last army army to enter North Korea to fight, but also the first army to return to China!

On the 26th, Zhao Rundong met with Su Jinhui and other major generals and senior officers of the 39th Army at the headquarters of the Capital Military Region.

In addition to personally awarding the rank of General Su Jinhui and awarding ranks and awarding awards to hundreds of other soldiers who have made great achievements, Zhao Rundong also announced on the spot that he would appoint General Su Jinhui as Chief of Staff of the Army and be transferred to the General Staff Department.

No matter what, Jinhui and the 39th Army received high enough attention and great honor.

On the front line, logistics preparations are in full swing.

In order to open the railway as soon as possible, Pei Chengyi mobilized more than 3,000 engineers from all participating troops from the 211th to the 26th, and in just 5 days, the first train full of ammunition and drug supplies arrived at Dizhou north of Rongzhou, and sent thousands of tons of ammunition and drug supplies to the 382nd Brigade of the 38th Army stationed here.

From then on, an average of 12 trains arrived in Tizhou every day.

In addition to the railway, Pei Chengyi also arranged 3,500 heavy trucks to transport supplies to the front line. All Air Force transport aircraft transport supplies to the front line at a speed of at least 2 times per day.

According to statistics from the front-line logistics department, tons of materials are transported to the front line before the 26th, and 130,000 tons are transported every day starting from the 26th. At this speed, about 10,000 tons of combat materials can be hoarded on the front line by February, and logistics preparations are basically completed.

On the 28th, the artillery troops moved to Qianzhen.

Because the navy did not allow the fleet to enter the Korean Strait, the combat troops could only get the support of the carrier-based aviation force. Don’t expect the fleet’s artillery support, and the artillery became the only artillery support force.

Fortunately, after a month of hard work, the military engineering forces repaired an air force base in northern North Korea and built nearly 20 field airports. Although the Air Force did not deploy combat aircraft at field airports that lack infrastructure and maintenance equipment, field airports gave combat aircraft more choices. The repaired air base shortened the radius of combat aircraft and improved the combat efficiency of the Air Force and Navy aviation.

In the last day of January, the Army Air Force reinforcements arrived.

The importance of the army aviation has been confirmed in the Peninsula War (Air Assault Brigade belongs to the Army Aviation Organization). In special terrain environments, helicopters have irreplaceable advantages. Relatively speaking, the significance of transport helicopters is more obvious. Although armed helicopters have extraordinary strike capabilities, they do not have the ability to deliver troops. When the strike means are complete, transport helicopters can better meet combat requirements.

Before the first battle was over, the Army urgently ordered a batch of helicopters from two domestic helicopter manufacturers.

Even if it was urgently ordered, due to the production cycle, the delivery time was one month later. As a result, when the Army received the 250 transport helicopter delivered by the manufacturer, the third battle had ended.

It's useless to spend 275.

When the front line had severe lack of transportation power, not only short-distance transportation vehicles, the Army organized 25 transport helicopters into a temporary land aviation brigade specifically for tactical air transport.

Because it uses electric power equipment, there is no need to consider fuel issues. One helicopter can fly two round trips on a 50-kilometer range within one hour to transport 8~ materials to the front line. The 250 helicopters are dispatched together, and it can provide 2500~ to the front line combat troops in one hour: the combat supplies arrived! Very amazing and very important transportation capabilities.

On February 1, the combat plan formulated by the General Staff Department was sent to the Front Line Command.

Pei Chengyi did not rush to issue combat orders, but summoned several commanders and held a pre-war meeting. Ling Yunxiao did not return to Shenyang, but asked Zhong Jingbo of the 771st Brigade to attend the combat meeting for him. It was not that Ling Yunxiao did not want to come back, but Pei Chengyi asked him not to come back for the time being. Before Wang Yuanqing handled the work in the rear, Ling Yunxiao would be better off staying on the front line and not going anywhere, so as not to get into trouble.

On February 2, the commanders of each unit returned to the combat troops with the combat orders from the front.

The countdown to the initiation time of the fourth battle has entered the countdown.

The Republic's military deployment cannot conceal the reconnaissance satellites in space. The whole world knows that no force can stop the Republic's army from capturing Busan! (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
