.After watching the pictures on the projection screen, Chandler turned his gaze to Hunter.

"Three days ago, Park Jung-deok returned to South Korea and contacted his old subordinates. As expected, the Fourth Legion would shell Seoul within half an hour." Hunter put down the ballpoint pen that was turning around in his hand. "According to the plan, we should send Park Jung-deok to Kaesong before dawn to let him take over the Fourth Legion. Although the bomber crash had some impact, the mission had been completed and subsequent operations were not disturbed."

"So far, we don't know if Kim Il-jeong and his son were killed." Bob looked at Chandler, "If Kim's father and his son were still alive, the Korean People's Army would not obey the command of a defected general, nor would it kill each other, and it would be difficult to get an attack opportunity."

"It doesn't matter whether the Kim family and his son are alive. As long as the Fourth Legion shells Seoul and crosses the 38th parallel, the war breaks out."

When Chandler said this, Hunter laughed, Bob's expression was a little ugly.

"We must seize the opportunity and let the Fourth Legion launch an attack as soon as possible. Only in this way can the bombing against the Jin family be regarded as a reasonable counterattack." Chandler didn't care much about his subordinates' feelings. He was originally a very strong general. "China's reaction is crucial. If China cannot stop China from participating in the war, it must fight to Pyongyang before the Chinese army crossed the Yalu River. Although this is not our mission, we have an unshirkable responsibility."

"There are already signs that the Chinese authorities have guessed our actions in North Korea."

"Yeah?"

Bob hesitated for a moment and said, "Before the bomber dropped the bomb, the convoy of North Korea's top leader left the Peony Pavilion. Although it was discovered in time by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the bombing time was 2:30 in the morning. Kim Il-jeong would usually go to bed before 12 o'clock."

"You mean, China has issued a warning to the North Korean authorities?"

Bob nodded and said, "This is the only reasonable explanation. Ten minutes ago, we received the latest news that Park Joon-cheol left Pyongyang by plane less than ten minutes after the bombing."

Chandler's brow jumped a few times and asked Hunter to continue.

"Because it was an emergency takeoff, I don't know where he was going for the time being, but it is very likely to go to Beijing."

"Even so, what does this matter?" Hunter interrupted, "Before this, the attention of Chinese intelligence agencies had shifted to Taiwan. Liu Jun's assassination would inevitably have an impact on Taiwan Strait relations. Even if we guessed our intentions, it would be too late now."

"But……"

"Hunt is right, the war will break out soon." Chandler ended the meaningless debate and said, "After the Fourth Legion fought the 38th parallel, we entered the B phase as planned, cooperated with the Pentagon and participated in the Joint Conference and the United States and South Korea. First of all, we must find out China's trump card, obtain China's military decisions, and the information on military mobilization. Put other matters aside for the time being and do not disperse resources."

Faced with the strong director, even if Bob had different opinions, he could not raise it.

"Nothing else, let's talk about this." Chandler knocked on the table and said to Hunter who stood up. "Let the SEALs take off and standby. After the Fourth Legion fires the first shot, it crosses the ceasefire line and rescues the two pilots. If necessary, dispatch fighters to provide cover for the rescue operation."

"How to deal with the bomber's wreckage?"

"Find key equipment and stay on site. I believe we will be able to call us soon."

Chandler was full of confidence because before becoming CIA Director, he was a four-star general, served as the commander of the Central War Zone, and personally directed the Iraq War and the Afghan War.

Compared with Chandler, Park Jung-deok is not so confident.

Before defecting, Park Jung-deok was a lieutenant general of the Korean People's Army and the commander of the Fourth Corps. He also served as deputy commander of the West Coast Command Post. As a general of the People's Army who has no good blood tradition and has achieved existing achievements entirely through his own struggle, Park Jung-deok has not had a deep foundation in the army, but is deeply loved by the soldiers.

If everything goes well, he has the chance to be promoted to general before retirement and win the title of second coach after retirement.

The Yeonping Island shelling incident changed Park Jung-deok's fate.

Although according to the news released by both sides, in this conflict that almost detonated the war, the Korean People's Army took the lead and caught the South Korean army off guard and defeated the well-equipped opponent with relatively backward artillery, the reality is far less dazzling than propaganda. The Korean People's Army did take advantage and missed the opportunity to expand the results of the war.

Afterwards, Kim Il-jeong held him accountable.

General Kim Hakyu, who should be responsible for the main responsibility, was the commander of the artillery of the Korean People's Army, but the commander did not stand up, but instead let Park Jung-deok take the blame.

If Park Jung-de was willing to swallow this unjust breath, he would swallow his anger in a few years.

What he couldn't understand was that Kim Ha-kyu, who ordered a ceasefire in the artillery battle, was not only unpunished by punishment, but was commended by Kim Il-jung and promoted to the second commander of the People's Army.

Park Jung-deok felt that he was wronged, and complaining words were bound to be indispensable.

The speaker has no intention, and the listener has his heart.

After getting drunk once, Park Jung-deok's complaints were learned by Kim Ha-kyu, and when they reached Kim Il-jeong's ears, they were already a different saying.

If Park Jung-deok did not have that high prestige in the army, his ending would have been very tragic.

When Kim Il-jung sent people to Kaesong, preparing to lift his command on the spot and take him back to Pyongyang for trial, a loyal second lieutenant officer sent the news in advance.

Park Jung-deok had no choice and fled from Panmunjom to South Korea that day.

Three days later, his wife, son, daughter, and two brothers, were secretly executed by someone sent by Kim Il-jung in the dense forest of Ci Jiangdao.

The implicated were the second lieutenant officer who informed him, and more than 400 officers and soldiers of the Fourth Corps.

After learning about this, Park Jung-deok vowed to avenge his relatives, and therefore fell into Cia's arms.

Without him, Cia could not plan a secret operation to overthrow the Kim family as the main purpose, because only he could influence the Fourth Legion and let the Korean People's Army open fire first.

When Kim Il was listening to Kim Ha-kyu's slander, he certainly didn't expect that Park Jung-deok had such great energy.

In the Fourth Legion, at least half of the officers sympathized with and even supported Park Jung-deok, most of whom were grassroots officers with similar backgrounds as Park Jung-deok.

As long as Park Jung-deok returns to Kaesong and announces that Kim Il is dead in a domestic rebellion, he will be able to lead the Fourth Legion into Pyongyang.

Cia made a promise that as long as Park Jung-deok conquered Pyongyang, the United States will not only immediately recognize the North Korean regime, but also help him establish a temporary regime.

In Park Jung-deok's view, this is the best time to end the military confrontation between North and South Korea and even end ethnic divisions.

Although Park Jung-deok did not fully believe in Americans, and decades of education and propaganda have given him a deep-rooted prejudice against the United States, he felt that there was a second way to go, that is, after occupying Pyongyang, he would make a request to China and use China to balance the United States.

He thought it was too simple.

As a pure North Korean soldier, he was a big difference between playing tricks with American politicians and intelligence agencies.

Cia also made second-hand preparations, or she did not intend to let Park Jung-deok replace Kim Il-jung at the beginning.

Behind Park Jung-deok are not diplomatic missions and political aid missions, but hundreds of thousands of fully armed American and Korean soldiers, as well as the flames that are about to sweep the Korean Peninsula.

Park Jung-deok had no intention of considering this issue, and he had to find a way to convince the soldiers of the Fourth Legion.

Before boarding the US military's helicopter, Park Jung-deo spoke with Han Yuan and Lieutenant General of the Fourth Corps for the last time.

The relationship between the two was extraordinary. When they served at the grassroots level, they were comrades-in-arms and slept on top and bottom bunks. When Park Jung-deok was the commander of the Fourth Legion, Han Yuan-he was the political commissar. This identity not only helped him escape the purge, but also was valued by Kim Il-jeong and served as the commander of the legion.

Because Cia has not confirmed whether Kim Il-jung and his son have died, Park Jung-deok only mentioned the drastic changes in the country on the phone, and did not mention the details. He wanted to interview Han Yuanhe and asked him to send his confidants to Panmunjom to wait.

By persuading Han Yuanhe, you can control the Fourth Legion.

Park Jung-deok certainly didn't expect that he was about to embark on the last journey of his life.

Shortly after the helicopter took off from a military base outside Seoul, an artillery brigade of the Fourth Corps of the Korean People's Army stationed near Kaesong took the lead in firing at the South Korean military base south of the military ceasefire line. Then a twelve large-caliber rocket launchers from a rocket artillery battalion intensively shelled downtown Seoul.

The shelling came suddenly without any signs.

Thousands of Seoul citizens were killed and thousands of civilians were injured in the bombardment that lasted fifteen minutes.

The South Korean army responded very quickly. Two minutes after the Korean People's Army fired artillery, the South Korean artillery stationed in Jiangxiangli and Manshan opened fire and fought back.

The first shot has been fired, and history has been rewritten.

When the artillery battle began, Fu Xiubo was with Li Pingko, Lu Fenglie and Li Guoqiang. Military aid personnel stationed in North Korea have confirmed that the Kim family's residences near Pyongyang, Wonsan and Ham Hung were bombed. Kim Il-jeong and his son left Mudan Pavilion before the bombing, and their whereabouts were unknown. North Korean Foreign Minister arrived on a special plane.

It was at this moment that Wen Tinggui rushed over.

"The news I just received." The Prime Minister panted, as if he was running all the way. "The Seoul Embassy has confirmed that artillery battles broke out in the North Korean and South Korean troops, and many areas north of the Han River were bombarded, causing a large number of civilian casualties."

Li Pingko and Lu Fenglie were both shocked. Fu Xiubo's expression did not change much, and Li Guoqiang seemed very calm.

"The embassy is contacting Chinese tourists, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched an emergency plan..."

"Lao Wen, sit down and say, drink a little water." Fu Xiubo handed over the teacup.

After sitting down, he drank two sips of tea. Wen Tinggui continued: "If necessary, we can rent civil aviation passenger planes and withdraw tourists stranded in South Korea."

"This matter is directly arranged by the State Council. Ensuring the life safety of our citizens is the top priority."

"We also have to issue a diplomatic statement as soon as possible."

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "I will do this. I will decide the standard of the diplomatic statement when I speak to the US President."

"Oh!" Wen Tinggui sighed and said, "It's a pity that our Queen Mother realized it."

"We are not fortune tellers, and even if we don't know, the United States will launch a war. Lao Wen, you don't have to blame yourself, it's not your responsibility." Fu Xiubo also sighed and said, "Park Jun-cheol is flying over. If you meet him personally, be sure to find out the situation of Orthodox General Kim Il-jung."

Wen Tinggui nodded, stood up and said, "I'll make arrangements now, I hope he can bring good news."
