Chapter 178: Inside the Governor's Palace

Shortly after the departure of the deep mountain bomber piloted by Eizo, Seoul, inside the Governor's Palace.

(Joseon Governor's Office (Japanese: Joseon 総督府\/けょうせんそうとくち, Korean: ????? It was 1910 (the second year of Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty; After the merger of Japan and Korea, the Japanese colonists established a colonial ruling institution in Gyeongbokgung Palace, the capital of Korea (present-day Seoul) in order to rule the Korean Peninsula.

The Viceroy of Korea was directly subordinate to the Emperor of Japan and held full military, legislative, executive, and judicial powers over the Korean Peninsula. Under the Governor, there are five ministries (the General Affairs Department, the Ministry of the Interior, the Degree Branch, the Ministry of Agriculture, Commerce and Industry, and the Ministry of Justice). In addition, there are institutions such as the Central Council, the Directorate of Police, the Courts and the Railway Division.

The building was built between Gwanghwamun Gate and Gyeonjeongmun Gate, the main gate of the Joseon Royal Palace, and most of the buildings of Gyeongbokgung Palace were demolished during the Japanese occupation, and only symbolic buildings such as the main hall, Gyeonjeongjeongjeon Hall and Gyeongheeong Tower remained. The Governor's Palace was built in a royal palace that symbolized royal power, and when completed, it became a symbol of Japanese rule over the Korean Peninsula.

In 1948, the government of the Republic of Korea was established, and the building became a government office building, called the Central Office. It was later changed to the National Museum of Korea. In 1995, Kim Yong-sam's government demolished the entire building on the grounds of "removing the symbols of the Japanese rule" and rebuilt Gyeongbokgung Palace on its original site. The demolished Governor's Palace building retains only the spire and is placed on display on the west side of the "Independence Memorial Hall" on the outskirts of Cheonan City. οΌ‰

MacArthur and Syngman Rhee had just wiped off the fatigue after a night of sleeplessness, and planned to plan the following counteroffensive plan in the government building, and the volunteers took three cities in a row, making Syngman Rhee, the president of the Republic of Korea, very faceless, because MacArthur had always been intolerant of him, and the combat capability of the South Korean army had made MacArthur completely no longer have hope for them, and he did not give Syngman Rhee face at all.

Who made the Stick Army just useless?

Syngman Rhee endured it silently, he had to endure it if he couldn't bear it, this American father was fighting for him, and if he won the victory, he could continue to be his president, and if he failed, he became a sweeper who swept the floor was the most optimistic end.

As soon as MacArthur and a group of high-ranking US and South Korean generals took their seats, a South Korean signal corpsman recklessly broke in, did not even make a report, and hurriedly walked behind Syngman Rhee and said: "Your Excellency, you have just received news that our 9th Infantry Division has been captured by the enemy!" ”

(Syngman Rhee (Korean: ???, 1875-1965) was a famous politician, diplomat, thinker, and independence activist in the modern history of South Korea, and the first president of the Republic of Korea. Formerly known as Chenglong, the name Yannan, the Li family of Quanzhou, was born in Pingshan County, Huanghae Province. In 1894, he entered the Peicai School (later Peicai University) and later participated in the independent association movement, and was arrested and sentenced by the Korean Imperial Government in 1899. He was pardoned in 1904 and sent to the United States as a secret envoy to Emperor Gaozong Li Xi. He received a bachelor's degree from George Washington University in 1905, a master's degree from Harvard University and a doctorate from Princeton University in 1910.

Syngman Rhee amassed a wealth of contacts in the United States and flaunted the line of diplomatic independence, attempting to get rid of Japan's colonial rule through diplomatic activities and relying on the intervention of the United States and other powers. In 1919, he failed to participate in the Paris Peace Conference, put forward the controversial Mandate Bill, and was elected president of the provisional government of the Republic of Korea in the same year, but in 1921 his diplomatic activities at the Washington Conference failed again, and his activities fell into a depression. After World War II, he returned to South Korea after Japan's surrender and launched an anti-trusteeship movement as the leader of the right-wing forces, advocating a separate state in the south. In 1948, Syngman Rhee was elected president with the support of the United States and proclaimed the Republic of Korea on August 15.

Since then, Syngman Rhee has been elected president for three consecutive terms, and has become the head of the Kuomintang and the Liberal Party. He implemented a **** dictatorship internally, severely suppressed the left-wing forces represented by the communists, and at the same time forcibly amended the constitution twice in order to maintain personal power, trampling on the democratic system. Relying on US aid, it insisted on advancing northward by force, and refused to establish diplomatic relations with Japan. οΌ‰

Syngman Rhee, who has a hawkish style, is naturally black-hearted, and he has been trained by MacArthur with a bitter face, but now that he has received the news again, he suddenly got up from his chair and snatched the report from the signal corpsman's hand, glanced at it, and angrily slapped the report on the conference table, and shouted: "What is the use of raising these wastes!" ”

Syngman Rhee only realized after yelling, this is not his office, and immediately glanced at MacArthur at the front of the conference table, MacArthur did not say anything with a disgusted face, thinking that this kind of result had long been expected by MacArthur, seeing MacArthur look disgusted, those South Korean high-level leaders present were not happy, and immediately stood up to respond to the president's words:

"More than 4,000 people of the 9th Division were all captured? The guns in their hands are ornaments! ”

"Isn't the 9th Division in charge of the periphery? How can you be captured, even if you suddenly encounter the enemy's troops, you can run away if you can't beat them, alas, it's really useless! ”

The senior generals of the United States also laughed out loud at this time, they couldn't understand what the South Korean stick said, but when they saw the angry look on the stick's face, they guessed that it must be the stick that the unit was attacked, and this group of Yankees looked down on the South Korean army at all, and now they naturally looked down on them even more when they saw the South Korean army being deflated.

MacArthur clenched his hands into fists and knocked on the conference table, interrupting the noise: "Knock~knock~knock!" Don't argue, the Chinese and North Korean troops have already captured Yangdeok, it's almost dawn, our first task is to discuss how to take those cities back after dawn, not listen to you when to hold a funeral for your troops! ”

Syngman Rhee sat back in his chair with an angry face, and MacArthur said solemnly: "I'm very strange, did we get any results from those shells we fired?" Isn't it true that the 30,000 tons of shells I fired at all costs are for the sake of good looks? ”

MacArthur's face was cold and frightening, the commander-in-chief of the multinational coalition forces lowered his face, and all the high-ranking generals present closed their mouths, at this time nothing can be said to deny the fact that they lost three cities in one night, and in the next step, the Chinese are likely to attack Pyongyang, the three cities can not be wanted, Pyongyang has a large amount of military supplies from the US military, and it is absolutely impossible to lose.

Although MacArthur, including the US military top brass, were confident that the strong offensive outside Pyongyang could resist the attack of the Chinese, after many exchanges, they were a little incomprehensible to the Chinese's fighting methods, they only thought that the Chinese were fighting at night, but this way of fighting was unthinkable, Yangde was attacked by force, but Shunchuan was dug by the Chinese several tunnels to the city, making their original fortifications useless.

The plateau is even more outrageous, the Chinese actually took the sea route to a beach landing battle, these are not what they thought, they think that the Chinese do not have warships, they will definitely not attack by water, but they just did that, or in such a cold environment to take the initiative to launch a battle, this made the Americans, including MacArthur, began to become no longer underestimate the Chinese, the gap in equipment is limited, the will not to fear any difficulties is the key to the Chinese's victory, and the US military is lacking this will, will be defeated again and again.

The benefits that MacArthur had promised were naturally more important than life, and if he had to take his own life when he traveled thousands of miles to this poor and remote peninsula? The Yankees don't care about being captives.
