.The volunteer army marched towards Seoul, and the most shocking thing was not Botsman, but the South Korean authorities.

After receiving the news, Botsman's first reaction was that the volunteer army attacked and opened the city was just an illusion, and its real intention was to mobilize troops to the front line and then attack Seoul.

But Botsman immediately ruled out this possibility.

If this is true, the Volunteer Army must obtain reinforcements. According to the combat intensity of the second battle, at least three main armies must be used to have the opportunity to conquer Seoul. Because the reinforcements of the US military are about to participate in the war, at least five main armies must be prepared when arranging combat forces. Although the Volunteer Army has seven main armies, only the 13th Army and the 16th Army are slightly better. The shortage rate of the other five armies is very serious and it is difficult to undertake the task of frontal attacks. The 13th Army and the 16th Army are mainly infantry or lighter troops, and it is unlikely that they will play the leading role in frontal attacks. In this way, there is only one situation, that is, China has increased its troops to North Korea again, and at least three army groups have been supplemented with the Volunteer Army.

Is this possible?

Including the 15th Airborne Army, the Chinese Army has only 19 armies in total, and the real main force has only eight armies. Among them, the 39th Army, the 54th Army, the 65th Army, the 24th Army and the 13th Army have all participated in the war. Among the remaining three ace troops, the 38th Army is the capital garrison force and will not easily participate in the war. The other two ace troops, one is responsible for guarding the Northwest and the other is keeping a close eye on the Taiwan Strait. Unless China intends to mobilize a large-scale war, it will not be used.

In fact, let alone using ace troops, it is unlikely to use other regular troops.

Don’t forget that China is a major country with a land area of ​​more than 10 million square kilometers, a very long land border line, and an unstable surrounding area. After several disarmament, the scale of China’s regular army has been reduced to 2.2 million, of which the size of the army is about 1.4 million. Eliminate civilian soldiers and non-combatants, the combat force is less than 700,000. For such a large country, this force is not large at all. Now 350,000 troops have been sent to North Korea, of which the combat force is about 200,000, and the remaining combat force is less than 500,000. For guarding the long land border line and focusing on several major strategic directions, 500,000 ground troops are not large.

If China wants to increase its troops, it must mobilize war, at least at the military level.

However, all intelligence shows that China's war mobilization is limited to the military industry. Among the ground forces entering North Korea, there are only a few Marines and special forces of the armed police. In other words, China did not even mobilize within the army, and the army took on almost all ground combat tasks.

Under this circumstance, is China capable of increasing its troops to North Korea?

In addition, there is also information that after the second battle, except for the troops used to supplement the front-line combat troops, no large troops entered North Korea. Every day, vehicles carrying materials were transported by the Yalu River Bridge. On the battlefield, the combat troops of the Volunteer Army did not frequently mobilize.

Of course, this cannot rule out the possibility of China's increase in troops.

For example, within the army, the reserve forces can be mobilized, that is, the armed police can be supplemented into the combat troops, and the troops can be drawn from the regular army to send to North Korea. On the issue of transporting troops, the soldiers of the large army can be mixed into the supplementary forces, and those combat equipment can also be transported to North Korea in the name of supplementary forces. As for deployment to the front line, the soldiers can be allowed to follow the logistics support troops and gather secretly on the front line.

However, there is one problem that cannot be solved, that is, the Volunteer Army cannot send a large number of main combat equipment to the front line without being discovered by the coalition reconnaissance planes.

You should know that if three armies are invested, there will be more than one thousand main battle tanks alone. Including infantry fighting vehicles, self-propelled artillery and other heavy equipment, at least three thousand units need to be transported. Such a large-scale mobilization will definitely not be concealed from the coalition reconnaissance aircraft spread all over the sky.

It was this point that made Botsman conclude that it was not the new volunteers' troops that attacked Seoul, but the troops that participated in the second battle, which was not afraid of it.

The question is that Botsman's judgment does not equal the judgment of the Korean authorities.

At that time, something happened that Botsman couldn't figure it out anyway. That is, in the early morning of the 30th, less than two hours after Botsman received the news, the military secretary of South Korean President Lee Jong-joo came to him and asked Botsman to arrange an elite force to escort the president to Daejeon.

With Botsman's temper, the South Korean presidential secretary did not get any benefits.

If Lee Jong-joo wants to escape, just run away. No matter how bad the Korean army is, there is a presidential guard. Moreover, the volunteers not only fail to attack, but the artillery fire cannot reach the Blue House. This guy is afraid of death, but he is actually afraid to this extent and proposes to ask the US military to escort him out of Seoul.

Botsman's reply was clear. He couldn't control what the South Korean president wanted to do, but he would not leave Seoul, nor would he protect anyone who left Seoul.

Half an hour later, Botsman received a call from Lindbergh from the White House.

Although Lindberg did not scold him, and even secretly praised his approach. When morale is low, any escape action may lead to disaster. Only when the top and the other party are united and jointly deal with the strong enemy can there be hope of victory, Lindberg still reminded Botsman that Li Zhangzhu's safety must be ensured, and he must not be threatened, let alone fall into the hands of the volunteers.

These words clearly mean that Botsman arranged the guarding force for Li Zhangzhu.

Botsman could not listen to the orders of the South Korean president, but he had to listen to the orders of the US president because the US president is the commander-in-chief of the US military and he is an American.

As a last resort, Botsman had no choice but to draw a guard battalion to the Blue House.

Fortunately, Lee Jong-joo had already changed her mind at this time, or after talking to Lindberg, her mood stabilized a little, and she did not ask to leave Seoul immediately.

You know, after receiving the news from the volunteer army, Li Zhangzhu's first reaction was to flee Seoul.

In two consecutive battles, the coalition forces lost a lot, and hundreds of thousands of Korean troops were destroyed. There were nearly 300,000 Korean soldiers locked in the volunteer army prisoner-of-war camp alone, including more than a dozen generals and about 17,000 officers. Although Li Zhangzhu did not participate in the frontline battle, the disastrous defeat had already made him lose confidence in the war. If the coalition forces had not been commanded by the US military, Li Zhangzhu would have chosen to make peace with the volunteer army long ago.

According to the information released after the war, in late October, after the Second Battle, Li Zhangzhu had the idea of ​​negotiating with the volunteer army alone. At that time, he called Li Zhangcheng, the younger brother who served as ambassador in Austria, and asked him to secretly contact the Chinese authorities through the Austrian government. If he had the opportunity, he would meet secretly with the Chinese ambassador to Austria to discuss South Korea's unilateral withdrawal from the war.

Because this matter is too sensitive, Li Zhangzhu does it very carefully.

Li Zhangcheng is not a fool either. If the news is leaked and the US authorities know, the first thing that is unlucky will definitely be Li Zhangzhu.

With the usual American style, even if Li Zhangzhu does not die, she will be ruined.

You know, decades ago, the South Korean president who did not listen to advice and secretly engaged in nuclear weapons was secretly killed by Cia when he was provoking the US bottom line.

For this reason, Li Zhangcheng did not take action immediately, but decided to "wait and see".

Li Zhangcheng's decision saved Li Zhangzhu.

Afterwards, Botsman came to South Korea and not only replaced half of the staff of the coalition command, but also used thunder to drive senior Korean generals out of the military decision-making circle. At the same time, the South Korean National Intelligence Agency, namely the South Korean Central Intelligence Agency, also began to obey CIA's direct command in accordance with the requirements put forward by the United States.

In just a few days, South Korea's security agencies were controlled by the United States.

It is conceivable that if Li Zhangcheng takes the first step, the United States will soon receive news.

In fact, the United States' intervention in South Korea's security agencies shows that the United States is already worried about Li Zhangzhu and will definitely choose a more courageous spokesperson when necessary.

However, this makes Li Zhangzhu even less optimistic about this war.

It is obvious that all South Korea is controlled by the United States. If it fights well, it will naturally be the credit of the US military. If it doesn’t fight well, South Korea will take the blame.

Let the soldiers take the blame?

It is obviously unlikely. After all, soldiers are just obeying orders, and the status of senior Korean generals in the coalition command organization has plummeted. Even if the soldiers are asked to take responsibility, it is not the South Korean army. The US authorities will definitely not admit that it was the incompetent performance of the US military that led to the loss of the war.

Ultimately, South Korea's leaders have to bear the responsibility in the end.

Now, all the pressure was concentrated on Li Zhangzhu.

For a moment, Li Zhangzhu even believed that the United States had put him undermined but did not let him leave the Blue House. The only reason was that he would be a scapegoat when necessary.

For Li Zhangzhu, recognizing reality can only make her more desperate.

Don’t think that his safety is absolutely guaranteed, but Li Zhangzhu has long figured out that he is just a puppet, and the puppet has no right to decide his life and death.

For Li Zhangzhu, the only hope is to protect her relatives as much as possible.

I proposed to leave Seoul in the hope of taking this opportunity to flee to a safer place with my wife, children, and a large group of relatives and friends. In addition, Lee Jang-joo comes from a famous family, has deep-rooted family power, and has huge interests in South Korea. After being president for several years, even if Lee Jang-joo is not full of gold and silver, she can be considered a small profit, so she has to consider taking away her personal property.

However, Li Zhangzhu quickly figured it out.

For him, it’s the same wherever he goes. It’s better to stay in Seoul and act like a show, and maybe he can bring himself back to life.

So when the guard battalion sent by Botsman arrived, Lee Jong-joo only asked to send his family, especially women, children and elderly people to the rear, and he was willing to stay in Seoul to fight the invaders with the coalition officers and soldiers, and even vowed to live and die with Seoul.

This requirement is not an exaggeration.
