The cold wave was moving southward, and the temperature in Shanghai began to drop. At the Shanghai Military Airport, Mu Yaping and his wife Jiang Xiuli appeared on the apron of the airport. When they got out of the military jeep, Mu Yaping saw that the crowd was already waiting. At this time, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Yue Lin and his newlywed wife Margaret went to the airport to see him off. Originally, Shaoqi was going to the airport to see him off, but Mu Yaping didn't want to be grand, so there were only military personnel at the airport, which was also for the sake of confidentiality.

Mrs. Jiang Xiuli and Margaret said goodbye intimately and invited Margaret to visit Chongqing when it was convenient. Mu Yaping didn't say anything, but waved to everyone, and walked to a military transport plane not far away with his wife. The crew seemed to be transporting Mu Yaping and his wife for a special trip. A major officer stood beside the ladder and raised his hand to salute, and loudly reported his military rank and position. This officer would be responsible for the safety of Mu Yaping's direct route to Peking.

Soon the plane soared in the blue sky, and the temperature at high altitude became colder. Although the couple wore coats, they felt the cold. Mu Yaping sent a telegram to Peng Dehuai and Fu Zuoyi before boarding Shanghai, clearly informing him of the time to arrive in Peiping. After more than two hours of flight, the plane landed at Beiping Nanyuan Airport at around 9 a.m.

After the plane stopped, Mu Yaping and his wife got off the plane. Peng Dehuai, Fu Zuoyi, Lu Dahu, Ji Yunfei, Lin, Yang Xiaoou, Wang Debiao, Ye Ting and others greeted him at the airport. Lin, Yang Xiaoou, Wang Debiao, and Ye Ting made a special trip from the Northeast to take a special plane. After hugging Peng Dehai, Peng Dehuai said dissatisfiedly: "Deputy Commander Mu, I heard that you were traveling secretly, and we have always been worried about you!"

Fu Zuoyi and Mu Yaping hugged Wan and said, "I agree with General Peng's opinion. You are so worry-free!" Mu Yaping smiled and did not answer, but hugged Lin enthusiastically, "Commander Lin, the troops went out of the Northeast to fight well, I congratulate you!" Lin Qianshu said, "This is all the command of the commander of the commander!"

Mu Yaping hugged Ye Ting specifically to show closeness, and it was obvious that Ye Ting was a little restrained. Mu Yaping and Lu Dahu, Ji Yunfei just shook hands and nodded. It was not good to be too close to his confidant and beloved in public, and Mu Yaping paid great attention to these details. Then he hugged Yang Xiaoou, and finally it was Wang Debiao's turn. After hugging Mu Yaping smiled and asked, "Old guy, it's your turn to go into battle this time! How about you still complain?"

"Deputy Commander Mu, if I can't catch the Meiba this time, I will be depressed. Maybe I will send you a telegram to fight directly." Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Okay, I know your temper. The next attack on North Korea will be a tough battle. Our attack may not be smooth. You should be mentally prepared." "Deputy Commander, don't worry! I won't embarrass you."

The other generals and officials were patiently waiting for Mu Yaping and Wang Debiao to be intimate. They all knew the special relationship between these two. Mu Yaping only talked with Wang Debiao for a while and did not shy away from Wang Debiao. The reason was that Wang Debiao was a big old man and a veteran. Mu Yaping realized that he was neglected and said, "General Peng, Chief of Staff Fu, where are we going in the first stop?" Fu Zuoyi said first: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, it's almost noon, we go directly to Mingyue Restaurant!"

Mu Yaping laughed and said, "Mingyue Restaurant, I'm so happy to visit the old place. I'm very emotional about Mingyue Restaurant. Today I'll have some good drinks with you loyal soldiers." On the way to the restaurant, his wife Jiang Xiuli didn't want to drink with a group of big men. He wanted to see the Mu Mansion that was returned. She had never seen the Mu Mansion.

There was a reason why the wife proposed to go to Mu's mansion to see, because late autumn sent a report to Mu Yaping that after Peking was restored, Old Lady Mu would return to Peking. Xiuli probably wanted to fulfill her wife's filial piety, and it seemed that she would sort out the Mu's mansion in advance to make the old lady happy. Mu Yaping saw the wife's meaning and agreed.

The convoy arrived at Mingyue Restaurant. The wife did not get out of the car and stayed outside the restaurant, and did not go in with everyone. Not long after, Gou Desheng drove a black car and rushed to Mingyue Restaurant. Gou Desheng got out in a hurry and saw that the door of Mingyue Restaurant was heavily guarded, and dozens of military jeeps were parked in front of the door.

Just now, he received a message from Mu Yaping's guard and asked him to go to Mingyue Restaurant to pick up his wife. After Gou Desheng got out of the car, he saw a beautiful lady getting off the military jeep, standing in front of the door, looking around, and then stepped forward and asked, "Is it Mrs. Mu?" Jiang Xiuli frowned when she saw Gou Desheng who was not good-looking and said, "Is it Yaping sent you?"

Gou Desheng hurriedly said, "Yes, madam, I came when I received the call. Don't worry, Madam, I was a subordinate of Mr. Mu and had been working in intelligence in Peking. I am responsible for the safety of my wife." Jiang Xiuli complained to her husband in her heart and thought to herself: Even if she finds a guide, why don't she find a decent one? The person in front of her does seem uncomfortable to look at, but now that's the matter, Jiang Xiuli has to go into the car with Gou Desheng.

In Mingyue Restaurant, Mu Yaping looked at the inside situation carefully and felt that the interior decoration was not only the same, but even worse than that of the past, and seemed even more dilapidated. I believe that during the Japanese rule, the restaurant's transactions were very bleak. Fortunately, this restaurant that he was very unforgettable was still there. Mu Yaping seemed to remember something and asked the guy.

"Is your shopkeeper here?" A young guy in shabby clothes replied nervously: "Sir, please wait, I'll go and invite the shopkeeper now." After a while, a man in his thirties hurriedly walked in from the back hall.

"Sir, I am the shopkeeper. I am very honored to be able to eat in the shop. Please forgive me if I have any care." Mu Yaping asked: "Is this restaurant a replacement? Is it not the shopkeeper Xu?" "Sir, you are talking about my father. My father passed away three years ago. After my father passed away, I inherited this restaurant. Could it be that the boss knew my father?" Mu Yaping smiled and walked upstairs without saying anything.

The generals followed, and Fu Zuoyi said, "When you see this restaurant, do you remember the past when you slept on firewood and tasted gall, and moved the tiger's den?" "Yes! Time has passed, and things have changed a lot, but when you see this restaurant, you still feel very friendly!" Mu Yaping sighed.

Mr. Peng asked curiously: "Deputy Commander, did you have any connection with this restaurant in Peking back then?" Mu Yaping smiled and said: "I was a regular customer of this restaurant in Peking back then. The owner of the restaurant was very familiar with it. I don't have to spend money to eat here, so I paid the boss a sum of money in advance. Make friends here, curry favor with the nobles, and do dirty transactions here. It seems that Brother Fu chose this hotel to me to review it!"

Fu Zuoyi said emotionally: "I met and made friends with the deputy commander-in-chief back then in this restaurant. With the war in the army, I seem to feel nostalgic now." "Yes! Forgetting the past is equivalent to betrayal, but we must focus on the future. In order to build a strong new China, not only me, but you have a long way to go!" Mu Yaping said with profound meaning.

After entering the private room, everyone took their seats, the hotel staff started serving the dishes. While waiting, Mu Yaping asked, "General Peng! How is the preparations for the troops going to the Far East?" Peng Dehuai was stunned and looked around and was a little confused. Mu Yaping smiled and said, "There are all senior generals here, and I was going to tell everyone."

Mu Yaping, who saw many people's surprise faces, explained: "Everyone, the commander secretly formulated a plan to go to the Far East and take military action in western Xinjiang. The territory that the Russians forcibly occupied back then should be returned, and this action is to regain the territory." Everyone was delighted when they heard this, and many people showed excited expressions on their faces.

Peng Dehuai said: "This time the troops went to the Far East operation, Commander Lin personally commanded. Commander Lin, please report on the preparations?" Lin stood up and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, everyone! After two months of preparation, the tank troops led by Deputy Commander Liao are first to enter the north and the Sino-Soviet border respectively."

Lin Hui said: "The 2nd Tank Division is located in Heihe, and is formed with the 11th Field Army and the 3rd Cavalry Division. The 1st Tank Division is located in Jiayin County, and is formed with the 12th Field Army and the 4th Cavalry Division. The 3rd Tank Division is located in Jiaohexi County, and is formed with the 13th Field Army and the 5th Cavalry Division. The 4th Tank Division and the 14th Field Army are located in Suifenhe, and are formed with the 4th Assault Corps. There is no problem in completing preparations before the end of the year."

Mu Yaping said: "According to information, the total strength of the Soviet army in the Far East is less than 200,000, including the Soviet Pacific Fleet. Commander Lin, if the Soviet army tries to resist and eliminate it resolutely, I guess at this critical moment, the Soviets will not resist. In other words, the Soviets do not have the capital to resist at the moment. Therefore, I demand to occupy the Far East as quickly as possible. As for how to recover, it is my problem."

"It is to resolutely complete the task!" Lin Ting's chest replied. Mu Yaping continued: "At present, Xue Yue's corps are being transferred to Xinjiang. The newly formed 6th Tank Division, the newly formed 3rd bombing wing, and the newly formed 9th and 10th Combat Aviation Division are also heading towards Xinjiang. In addition, the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Army and its affiliated troops in the Xinjiang Military Region have become a corps-based system and will cooperate with the operation. The commander-in-chief of the Western Military Operations is the commander He Yingqin, and the chief of staff is Gu Zhutong!"

At this time, Wang Debiao suddenly asked: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief, are we not going to attack North Korea?" "It is our unshirkable responsibility to defeat Japanese robbers. After the troops travel to the Far East, we must look at the attitude of the Americans. This is a political card, General Peng! I think it is better to launch an attack on North Korea in May!" Peng Dehuai nodded in agreement.

Mu Yaping continued: "Today we will make an exception and hold a paramilitary meeting at the dinner table. According to the order of the Ministry of National Defense, Commander Peng Dehuai and Chief of Staff Fu Zuoyi, after completing the mission to send troops to the Far East, personally directed the battle into Korea. The preliminary plan was to set aside 350,000 Yang Xiaoou's Corps, 330,000 Ye Ting Corps, 350,000 Wang Debiao Corps, 250,000 Lu Erhu Corps, and a total of 1.28 million troops participated in the war." The three of them stood up after hearing their names."

Mu Yaping continued: "Commander Lin!" "Come!" Lin Congxin stood up. Mu Yaping continued: "At present, Nie Rongzhen's Shandong ** Corps is being transferred to Outer Mongolia and maintaining military pressure on the Soviet Union. After your troops complete the mission of the Far East, as a strategic reserve team, we should always be vigilant against the Soviet Union. You can now study the issue of combat against the Soviet Union, of course this is just a preparatory move." "Yes! Complete the task resolutely!" Lin Ting's chest replied.

Mu Yaping waved his hand and asked Lin to sit down and continued, "In addition, the column of Lu Erhu expanded 250,000 people and upgraded the corps. After I will officially issue the order to upgrade the corps, I will go to Chongqing to issue the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th Combat Aviation Divisions to fight in North Korea, and the 5th Tank Divisions to fight in North Korea. At that time, the US military will dispatch 6 bombing corpses to cooperate in the fight. The specific combat mission and plan will be formulated by Commander Peng Dehuai and Chief of Staff Fu Zuoyi, and then reported to the Ministry of National Defense!"

Mu Yaping smiled and said, "Everyone! We will initially use 150 troops to attack North Korea, including the logistics forces. I hope you all will strive for the first time. Come and have a drink first, even if we celebrate the victory in advance!" All the generals stood up excitedly and stretched out the wine glass in their hands!
