Chapter 238: The Fall of Seoul
Truman was helpless about Yang Feng's refusal, Yang Feng at this time was no longer something he could handle casually, and he was qualified to refuse both military strength and international influence.
It is impossible for him to fall out with Yang Feng for such a trivial matter, on the contrary, he must win over Yang Feng, during this time Yang Feng and Comrade Li's hookup is not unaware, once Yang Feng is provoked, Comrade Li will be in trouble, Xinhua's resource and population advantages, coupled with Yang Feng's technological advantages, will become a real oriental dragon.
What's more, Yang Feng is still playing a mainstay role in Southeast Asia, which is the strongest fortress in Southeast Asia against Soviet erosion.
Therefore, after Yang Feng rejected the request of the United States to temporarily cancel the special tax on Japanese goods, the United States government did not have any special expression, but quickly passed a proposal in the Congress to provide another batch of arms aid to Daming, and presented a hundred M36 tank destroyers to Daming to curb Musseau's ambitions for the East Indies, after all, Musseau really wants to defeat Yang Feng and Hada, then Chevron and New Jersey Standard Oil's two major oil fields there are no hopes, Yang Feng is also protecting the interests of the United States Oil Company.
This move did not cause any waves in the United States, in fact, the capitalists of the United States welcomed Yang Feng's special tax, during this period of time, the import volume of the United States from the United States skyrocketed, and a large number of the capitalists of the United States were happily counting the money! What's more, because of the special tax, the cost of goods from the Japanese country will be pushed up, so that the procurement of materials by the US military will also be transferred to the country, and they will make more money, so those capitalists will not care about the impact on the war, will it lead to the death of more soldiers! It's true that they're making more money.
However, hope was dashed again. But it made the anger of the whole country even worse. Under the organization of the Japanese Social Workers' Party. Even when there were once again mass protesters on the streets of Tokyo and skirmishes with the US military, MacArthur angrily blamed Congress, but to no avail.
In the early morning of June 28, Seoul.
It was already a hellish scene, and the sound of the government and the National Assembly temporarily moving to Suwon was played by loudspeakers in the streets, and countless Goryeo people cried and carried heavy burdens to help the old and the young on the road to escape. The honking of cars, the chases of soldiers, the cries of missing loved ones, stirred noisily in every street of the ancient city, like muddy water after a rain, slowly flowing towards the Han River Bridge in the distance.
The war began ...
Well, the war was also lost.
The T34 tanks in the north were rumbling along the road to the south, and the South Goryeo army blocking them was on the verge of collapse at the touch of a button, all places, all lines, all armies. All are in rout, in Jinxiong. Under the command of such famous tiger generals as Li Quanwu and Fang Hushan, who were all famous on the Xinhua battlefield, the Northern Goryeo army with the three Goryeo divisions of Siye as the core was like a torrent that burst the embankment, rushing wantonly on the plains of southern Goryeo in the summer, destroying all the forces that dared to stop them.
Syngman Rhee fled Seoul in a hurry.
U.S. bombers were dispatched, and B29 bombers bombed the highway north of Seoul indiscriminately, and it is said that the entire highway was set on fire.
But, but, Nima, you bombed our first division, and Bai Shanye was blown up and cried!
In short, in just two days, everything collapsed, everything was messed up, and the perfect defense plan for Seoul was finally left on paper, and only one thing was really implemented.
The Han River Bridge is like a fragile fries crawling with ants in the chaos of various lights, lying on the dark and dreary river, fleeing refugees, routed troops, retreating American journalists and diplomats, all crowded on the bridge, moving towards the opposite bank little by little, they don't know that their feet are already full of explosives, and in the safety of the south bank, a sapper is pressing the detonator and waiting for orders.
On the same congested road on the south bank, a jeep drove forward with difficulty, and a senior officer sitting in the car waved his arms anxiously, urging the refugees in front of him to get out of the way, it seemed that he was indeed in a hurry, but unfortunately the entire road had been flooded by refugees, and his little jeep could only move forward with difficulty a little bit, and the officer was so anxious that he wiped the sweat on his head.
And at this moment, the officer next to the sapper nodded at him, and the sapper hesitated, gritted his teeth and pressed the detonator.
On the river in the distance, in the middle of the black figure of the Han River Bridge, suddenly a huge ball of fire swelled like a flame monster that appeared out of thin air, in its terrifying expansion, countless fragments of the bridge, the bodies of refugees scattered and splashed on the background of the night, and the waves of the explosion swept across the remnants of the bridge unscrupulously, the agitation of the river, the trembling of the earth, the corpses on both sides of the explosion point were instantly scattered all over the field.
The officer's little jeep stopped, looked at the eerie orange sky in the distance, and he took off his hat helplessly and sighed.
The Han River Bridge was blown up.
The five divisions on the outskirts of Seoul, crowded with countless refugees waiting, were all blocked on the north bank by the surging river.
It was two o'clock in the morning, and with this explosion, Seoul fell completely.
"What a lovely morning!"
On the balcony of the Führer's Mansion, Yang Feng said with great enjoyment in the early morning sea breeze, Evelyn opposite him was using a knife and fork to deal with vegetable salad, and the TV in the room not far from him was playing the morning news, and the announcer was reading the press release he had just received.
"According to the latest news from Taiwan, Seoul has been captured by the North Korean Army at two o'clock this morning, and South Korean President Syngman Rhee and his government officials fled their capital in a hurry, and are currently fleeing to the temporary capital Suwon."
"Oh my God, they fled too fast, and the war had broken out in less than seventy-two hours! The capital was lost like that? ”
Evelyn held up a fork of leaves and said with a stunned expression.
"Fast? It's normal, they're just that virtuous. ”
Yang Feng said.
"Your Majesty, the attendant called, saying that His Majesty the King of Goryeo asked to see you."
A maid stood not far away and said respectfully.
"Alright, invite them to the reception room!"
Yang Feng said while wiping his mouth.
Li Jiu, the king of Goryeo, is now twenty years old, just graduated from the Daming Air Force Academy, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant, but he is not a pilot, he is a small staff officer of the Air Force General Staff, and his identity is impossible to really let him fly a fighter, even if he does not go to the battlefield, he may fall to his death one day, and the crash rate of fighter jets at this time is quite high.
"Your Highness, do you want to go to Goryeo?"
Yang Feng asked with some surprise.
"Yes, Your Excellency, my father and I would like to go back and do our part in resisting the aggression of the Social Workers."
Second Lieutenant Li Jiu said.
It seems that the two of them also want to take this opportunity to do something, after all, they are the real Goryeo royal family, although Yang Feng has good conditions here, but if he can return to Goryeo, maybe he can try to restore the country or something, especially his father was also a lieutenant general of the Japanese army, and it must be no problem to command the army.
"Yes, but I can't send troops to send you, and you know that war is imminent here."
Yang Feng said very happily.
Li Jiu hurriedly expressed his gratitude, he didn't expect Yang Feng to send troops, they have also gathered a group of people over the years, there are probably tens of thousands of exiled Goryeo people living in Daming, many of them are still serving in the army, and there are some in the reserves, there is no problem in getting together a battalion of troops, what he hopes is that Yang Feng can let these people follow, as his king's guard, but the weapons need to be provided by Yang Feng.
After he said this request, Yang Feng also readily agreed.
"But there is one point, if you want to go back like this, Syngman Rhee will definitely not agree, even if he is in a critical situation now, he will not agree to your going back, we have to think of a different way, it is best to have a raw rice cooked rice, and send you over directly, at that time, it depends on how he chooses."
Then Yang Feng said.
"What does the Führer think?"
"You don't care about this for now, you first gather your people together, conduct some necessary integration training at the army synthetic training base, and then wait for my news, anyway, I will have a way to send you back directly."
Yang Feng said.
Well, His Majesty the King of Goryeo didn't say anything anymore and honestly went back to form a group.
Immediately afterwards, the General Staff also sent an official letter to all the armies, requiring all Goryeo officers and soldiers to gather in Yingtianfu, these people have all branches of the military, and they must carry out some corresponding training, anyway, Yang Feng is not in a hurry, and then South Goryeo will continue to collapse at the touch of a button, including those American troops who have enjoyed the blessings of the Japanese country for a long time, and then they have been defeated until Busan, and finally played a Jedi counterattack after the landing of Incheon.
At this time, it was still early, and when they arrived in Busan in a few days, they would send it to have His Majesty the King of Goryeo, with a full set of Ming-style equipment, appear in front of the desperate and panicked people of Goryeo, such a visual effect would be good enough.
As for whether Li Jiu will succeed...
Don't talk nonsense, how is that possible! Syngman Rhee is not stupid, even if he uses the army to fight, it is impossible for Li Jiu to go back.
Yang Yuanfu has another purpose, he found that he also has a very interesting game, the Wa State is an opponent, and they must not be allowed to develop, and South Goryeo is also an opponent, and this cannot be allowed to develop, so they must also make trouble, tie sandbags to them, and make them extremely heavy with every step, only in this way can the Ming Dynasty expand economically unscrupulously.
And Li Yin and Li Jiu father and son are the best chess pieces in his hands, there has been no chance before, and now the opportunity is finally in front of him, of course he wants to put this chess piece in the best position.
But he also needs a well-developed plan. (To be continued.) )
