. Yang Xinjie's meeting with Murphy was not smooth. In addition to proposing to let South Korea join in, the US ambassador to the United Nations also proposed to hold a ministerial meeting first. Although Murphy was very sincere, his request made Yang Xinjie believe that the United States has no intention of resolving the problem through negotiations.

Since there is no sincerity in negotiating, it doesn’t matter how you negotiate.

Because Fu Xiubo has mentioned that Li Pingko would go to the United Nations, Yang Xinjie proposed that when the US-South Korea coalition forces have crossed the ceasefire line, the ministerial meeting cannot mention key issues. At least the vice-premier meeting is needed to discuss crucial topics.

Yang Xinjie's proposal was supported by Britain, France and Russia.

Chernishev even mentioned that a government head-level meeting should be held to reflect the significance of negotiations and fundamentally resolve differences and contradictions between the two sides.

After half an hour of argument, Murphy finally made a concession and agreed to a meeting at the vice-premier level.

At this time, Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong met Cao Anguo.

"The brigade is turning around, we will go to Ocean Island tomorrow morning."

“What is our mission?”

"I haven't booked it yet, but there must be something to do."

Mu Haoyang frowned, feeling that it was too unreliable.

"Commander Wu means, let's go first and take the position." Cao Anguo bit off a bottle of Qingdao beer and handed it to Mu Haoyang. "The US-South Korea Allied Forces have launched a ground war and captured Kaesong when you come. If we maintain the current speed of advance, it will be difficult for us to send troops in time. Lao Wu feels that the Air Force and Navy Aviation will participate in the war first, curb the air strikes of the US-South Korea Allied Forces and give the People's Army a chance to breathe."

"So, do you need a rescue force?" Mu Haoyang took a sip of beer.

Cao Anguo nodded and handed a bottle of beer to Pang Yuelong. "The Army Special Forces have already gone to Dandong, so we are one step late. However, the Ocean Island is not far from North Korea. We are amphibious troops, and cross-sea combat is our strength. Lao Wu said that if you lose, you will not lose the formation. You must not watch the fun this time."

"We are already one step ahead." Pang Yuelong laughed.

"That is the secret mission of the Second Division and it has nothing to do with us." Cao Anguo smiled and said, "Of course, the military achievements will be remembered on you."

"How many people are coming now?"

"A squadron, and it's your first squadron."

"So, you have already counted me?"

"You have just returned from North Korea and are more familiar with the situation there. In addition, you have worked with the Second Ministry twice, so you can take care of each other in the future." Cao Anguo said to Mu Haoyang with a smile, "If you don't send you there, should you send Wang Lao Er? Don't think so much, do something good, don't lose to the army."

"It's all a family, what's the point?"

"This is what Commander Wu means, don't take it seriously, kid."

Mu Haoyang smiled and said nothing more.

"By the way, I'll ask you about your matter."

"My business?" Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "What else do I have?"

"It's the housing subsidy."

Because Pang Yuelong was by his side, Mu Haoyang quickly said, "Old Cao, let's talk about this in the future. When you go to the battlefield, you have to throw all the bullshits behind you."

"Okay, you can fight with peace of mind, I will help you get the highest share."

Mu Haoyang nodded and expressed his gratitude to Cao Anguo.

"It's getting late, so I'll go to bed after dinner. The transport plane will take off on time at 5:30 tomorrow, and the officers and soldiers of the first squadron are there." Cao Anguo had already had dinner and stood up and said, "There is a phone call in the barracks, so I'll report my family safety. You know the confidentiality regulations, don't let me say I miss it."

After Cao Anguo left, Mu Haoyang and Pang Yuelong opened their stomachs and started eating.

At this time, the dinner in the head of state also began.

Three tables were set up, the dishes were not rich, mainly light flavors, and the style was very unique. You can tell at a glance that it was carefully cooked by a senior chef. Perhaps in order to take care of the soldiers, Fu Xiubo asked the secretary to prepare two boxes of Maotai, but no general dared to drink openly in front of the head of state.

Because he answered Yang Xinjie's call and then called Li Pingko, it took some time to delay, so Fu Xiubo did not rush to set up a banquet to entertain senior generals of the General Staff, but asked everyone to have a meal first and fill their stomachs before talking about the main business. Although these generals were brave, they were a little restrained at the beginning, until Fu Xiubo and Lu Fenglie put down their airs, they officially started to move.

Seeing that there was not enough food on a table, Fu Xiubo's secretary immediately asked the chef to make a few small stir-fryes.

"Everyone, we have enough food and drink, let's talk about some serious business." After the secretary brought the added food, Fu Xiubo said, "You all know the current situation. The US-South Korea coalition forces have crossed the ceasefire line and occupied Kaesong. Maybe in a few days, they will attack outside Pyongyang. Although we are still working for peace and striving to end the war through negotiations, the United States has played a crucial role in this step. Without the United States' fueling, there would be no war, so we cannot have too much hope for peace."

Although the generals were not full, no one moved their chopsticks again.

"Since you cannot get peace at the negotiating table, you can only fight peace on the battlefield!" Fu Xiubo knocked on the table, and his voice also increased a little. "We love peace and hope to live in peace with all countries, but some countries want to drag us into war. Last year, I went to Inner Mongolia for inspection. An herder said that when the guests come, they were treated with horse milk wine, and when the wolves came, they greeted with sticks. Now that the wolf is here, where is our sticks? Is our sticks still strong? It is not easy to make a decision to join the war, because we have twenty-five years, and a full generation has not experienced war. It is even more difficult to win this war, because we are facing the most powerful enemy in the world."

The general's expression was a bit ugly, and the head of state said so unwillingly.

Fu Xiubo seemed not to say enough. "So, should we be afraid? I said, we should be afraid. Only fear can make us attach great importance to the enemy, let us do our best, and let us be without any worries. But will we give in because of fear? No, never! The enemy is outside the door of the house, behind us are thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, our relatives and compatriots. We must pick up the steel gun, stand up, and do our best. Sixty years ago, our martyrs were able to do it, why can't we do it!?"

"Fight, you must fight!" Lu Fenglie couldn't help it, "Fight our military power, fight our national power, and fight peace and stability for the second half of the century!"

"The key is how to fight?" Fu Xiubo changed his tone and his tone became much gentler. "I am not a soldier and have no say in the war, so I need a military commander and a commander who can lead our army to win this war. Lao Lu is the most ideal candidate, but we are not facing a traditional war, but a modern war. If we want to defeat a strong enemy, we must make full use of our army's advantages, give full play to our army's strengths, and fight this war in a non-traditional way. So I think we should choose a younger, more open and more progressive general."

When Fu Xiubo said this, Lu Fenglie turned his gaze to Huang Zhibo and said, "Zhibo, you just came back from Nanjing, tell me what you think."

"Me?" Huang Zhibo was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Lu Fenglie to let him speak first.

Logically speaking, Huang Zhibo was not in the General Staff’s staff and was not qualified to attend the dinner held by the Head of State for the General Staff General Staff General. Lu Fenglie called him to make him familiar with the Head of State.

"Say whatever you have, don't hide it."

"Old Lu is right, we have to work together." Fu Xiubo smiled and said, "General Huang, you just came back and didn't come into contact with much information and were less affected. It is not easy to form subjective understanding, so your opinions can explain the problem more objectively."

Huang Zhibo exclaimed and said, "Just as the head of state said, this battle is not easy to fight, but it is not impossible to fight."

"So, how should I fight?" Fu Xiubo asked on his own initiative.

"First of all, we have to set a goal that can be achieved, that is, we can stop fighting if we fight to the extent." Huang Zhibo paused for a moment and said, "In my personal opinion, it is very difficult to achieve a comprehensive victory. It is great to drive the US-South Korea coalition back. Although we have the ability to achieve greater results and may even conquer the entire Korean Peninsula, there is no legal basis for occupying South Korea and will not be recognized internationally."

"So, do you think you can stop the troops by returning to the pre-war situation?"

"As long as the US military is hurt and the United States is willing to negotiate, we must seize the opportunity. Military means cannot achieve their goals, and peaceful negotiations are the only choice."

Fu Xiubo nodded thoughtfully and asked Huang Zhibo to continue talking.

"In terms of specific operations, we must first express our position and prevent the situation from deteriorating. If possible, we must try our best to defend Pyongyang and control the battlefield south of the 39th North latitude so that our army can obtain enough room for maneuver in northern North Korea."

"What if I can't hold on?" Lu Fenglie asked.

"We will be very passive, at least in the early stages of the war, and it will be difficult to take the initiative. If the People's Army is defeated, we will have to fight alone."

"Don't have too much hope for the People's Army. After we send troops, it would be nice for the People's Army to stabilize the logistics support line."

Huang Zhibo sighed and said, "If this is the case, I suggest that we first join the air force and the navy, and first curb the offensive of the US and South Korea on the air battlefield. If we can seize part of the air supremacy, it will inevitably increase the concerns of the US and make the US and South Korea more cautious in the ground attack. If necessary, we must take action at sea to prevent the US and South Korea from using sea supremacy and increase the enemy's logistics support burden."

"This will expand the scope of war, and we don't have many choices." Lu Fenglie glanced at Fu Xiubo and said, "Diplomatic and politically speaking, we should not take the initiative to expand the scope of war."

Fu Xiubo nodded and said, "Then wait for the US-South Korea coalition forces to play first."

"It can only be done, at least there is reason to say at that time."

Fu Xiubo smiled and said to Huang Zhibo: "General Huang, your suggestions make a lot of sense. So are you confident of completing this difficult task?"

This time, Huang Zhibo did not hesitate and immediately stood up and stood attentive. "Please ensure that the task is completed."

"I don't need your guarantee, as long as you do your best." Fu Xiubo pressed his hand and asked Huang Zhibo to sit down. "From now on, I am your rear chief, and Lao Lu is your logistics commander-in-chief and chief staff officer. Lao Lu, I'm fine if I say that, right?"

Lu Fenglie smiled, knowing that the head of state was joking.

"General Huang, I now appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the aid to North Korea and command the combat operations of the aid to North Korea." Fu Xiubo had already made up his mind, "We will fully support you. Before going to Chenyang, we will determine the personnel of the front-line headquarters. If there are other needs, we can also propose them and we will discuss and solve them."

Fu Xiubo made his statement, and the others naturally had nothing to say.
Chapter completed!
