"All the commanders of the troops have a meeting at the headquarters!" Mr. Peng said expressionlessly. "What is the situation with Mr. Peng, I don't see that your face is very good!" Han Xianchu asked. "These Americans began to play tricks, the second battle hurt the Americans, the Americans began to play the previous tricks again, they conveyed through diplomacy, united several European countries to put pressure on us, asking for a truce first, in the negotiations, in fact, not to buy time to sort out the troops, replenish ammunition and materials, and when they are ready, and then attack us on the grounds of failed negotiations, in history these Western devils have not played this trick, this time we are not in line with his wishes, I plan to organize a third campaign, Not only to disrupt their plans, but also to slap them in the face! Mr. Peng said.

After the end of the second battle, the losses of the US army were very large, and all units, especially the 2nd Division, the 25th Division, the 1st Marine Division, and the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army, were damaged to varying degrees, especially the 2nd Division, after the end of the battle, the losses were more than half, and the 1st Marine Division could be said to be the most relaxed, with planes in the sky and cars on the ground, and retreated all the way from Changjin Lake, as a result, the cadres and soldiers of the Ninth Corps pursued and attacked all the way despite the huge casualties, and on the 125-kilometer retreat road from Changjin Lake to Nanxing, The losses reached 7,000 people, and all kinds of heavy equipment were lost except for fuel, and it would take a month to replenish them, and a large number of wounded soldiers needed to be transported back! Again, the 2nd and 25th Divisions of the US Army suffered a lot of losses on the way back, and heavy equipment was thrown all over the mountains, which made the volunteers who cleaned up the battlefield happy!

In addition, the death of General Walker of the Eighth Army in a car accident made MacArthur's heart ache even more, for such a general with command art, MacArthur sincerely regretted that he did not listen to his opinion, so that now he has failed miserably! Looking at the embarrassed American troops who were beaten by the volunteers, MacArthur was very uncomfortable, not only that, but MacArthur's words about letting the children go home at Christmas became a laughing stock, and some people in the Joint Chiefs of Staff even shouted to drive MacArthur back to his hometown of Arkansas before Christmas! There is also a curse circulating among the U.S. military that MacArthur will choke to death while eating turkey on Christmas! MacArthur didn't care much about these things, for a veteran who had fought in two world wars, one defeat was not something that could not be tolerated, and the next thing was the most important thing!

"General, the new commander of the Eighth Army, Li Qiwei, has arrived!" The staff officer said to MacArthur. "Alright, let him in!" MacArthur was also wallowing in grief over the loss of Walker. "General, Ridgway has been ordered to come and take over the position of General Walker!" Ridgway: A standard salute! "Hello, Matthew!" MacArthur cheered up and said hello, Ridgway's full name was Bunker. Matthew, Ridgway! "First of all, I'm very sad about General Walker, I know he's your favorite general!" Li Qiwei said. "Walker died for the good of America, and we will not forget him!" MacArthur said, "What do you think about the current situation? "With all due respect, General, you have been a little underestimated from the very beginning, and underestimating the enemy is the main reason for this defeat!" Li Qiwei said unceremoniously. "Yes!" MacArthur wasn't angry! For MacArthur to admit his mistakes so directly, Li Qiwei admired it very much, and his tone became a lot more respectful! "It's nothing, I participated in two world wars, and I don't feel too heavy about defeat and sacrifice, what to do next, it's much better than sitting here sad!" MacArthur pretended to be relaxed and said, "Tell me what you think!" ”

"General, our current situation is actually two words: chaos! The troops retreated from all directions, and both personnel and equipment needed to be replenished and reorganized, especially heavy equipment, and if they were completely lost on the way to retreat, the situation of the South Korean Army would be even worse, and it was simply unbearable! We want to deal with these things, and it takes time! Ridgway said: "The point is, I'm afraid we don't have much time!" "Go on!" MacArthur once again picked up his corncob pipe! "Now if the Chinese take advantage of the victory to pursue, we will be more passive, so we need to find a way to keep the Chinese from attacking for the time being!" "So how do you think you can get the Chinese to stop attacking?" MacArthur was going to listen to him, took a puff of his corncob pipe, and looked at Ridgway!

"General, the Chinese have a very strange habit, they are always unrealistically peace-loving, many times in history they are inexplicably praying for peace, during World War II, the Japanese attacked in Shanghai, they have already fought blood, but their leader Chiang Kai-shek still hopes that the then League of Nations will mediate, which makes us seem very strange, such a problem they have not changed now to the Communist Party, this is their national character, not a change of political party can be changed! They always pray for peace, and even in the event of their own victory, they have this habit. If we could take the initiative to express our hope for peace to them now, they would be more eager than we are, and that would buy us time to reorganize our troops! "Ridgway spoke his mind." What you say makes sense, the Chinese do have this habit, I agree with you, but we need to report this matter to Mr. President, and let him command the United Nations bunch of fools to do this! MacArthur nodded and looked at Ridgway appreciatively! Ridgway's approach was approved by MacArthur, who quickly compiled and reported the materials to the President of the United States. This approach gives the President of the United States an excellent suggestion!

In fact, as early as the beginning of the victory, Wu Xiuquan, the Chinese representative to the United Nations, issued a strong statement that the Chinese army had launched a stormy attack on the American troops at the Qingchuan River and Changjin Lake, and the American troops had now completely retreated to the 38th parallel. In particular, the Eighth Army of the US Army was repelled by the 13th Corps of the Volunteer Army headed by General Peng Dehuai, which was nearly 200 kilometers away, creating the biggest defeat in the history of the US Army! As soon as the statement came out, the world was in an uproar, which not only made the Americans lose their faces, but also discredited them. The Soviets also made a gloating statement that the American soldiers were still very brave, and it was their decisive retreat that avoided greater human losses, but the Soviets still very much hoped that the two countries could achieve peace! For this situation, the Americans are obviously panicked, and US Secretary of State Acheley even put forward a ridiculous plan, peace is possible, but at the same time as the United States withdraws its troops from Korea, the Chinese must also withdraw their troops from the northeast! The proposal provoked laughter. The Soviets even joked that if the Chinese agreed to withdraw their troops from the Northeast, then the USSR would withdraw its troops from the Far East in order to cooperate with Mr. Acheley's peace plan! In the end, Acheley's plan was rejected by Wu Xiuquan: "I don't need to ask China for this proposal, I will officially inform the US side now, we reject this proposal!" "It's over.

Britain and the United States issued a joint communique, the content of the communiqué has four contents, the first three are that the United Nations forces will continue to fight in Korea, but the fourth article is very interesting, the United States said that if China agrees to the United Nations to establish a democratic and free regime in Korea, the United Nations will consider ceasefire negotiations with China! In addition, a consensus was reached: if China agrees to let the army stop at March 8 and let North Korea draw a line to rule, it will negotiate with China to settle the matter and agree to end the Korean War! But at this time, China's military might was at its peak, and it was very tough in the face of the so-called United Nations, and it did not bother to negotiate with the United States led by the United States. Therefore, how to open the iron wall in front of the Chinese and convey their willingness to reconciliation has become a tricky and urgent matter.

Americans' troubles seemed to have been quickly resolved: Faced with the situation in Korea, delegations from Afghanistan, Burma, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Pakistan, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen from 13 Asian countries joined forces to appeal to China and North Korea, urging China and North Korea not to cross the 38th parallel in order to resolve the conflict in the Far East and avoid World War III.

On the same day, the 13 countries drafted a "Korean Peace Plan", which basically stated that the two sides of the war would immediately cease fire; China and the United States each withdrew their troops in Korea, and the United States withdrew its Seventh Fleet in the Taiwan Strait; The North and South Korean armies are disarmed under the supervision of the United Nations, with a 50,000-strong United Nations force to maintain peace in Korea and 25,000 South Korean police officers to maintain law and order; Democratic elections in North Korea under the auspices of the United Nations six months after the ceasefire; Three months after the election, the 50,000-strong UN force withdrew from North Korea; Three months after the withdrawal of the United Nations force, the United Nations Commission on North Korea, which oversees the withdrawal of the United Nations forces.

India's ambassador to China, Pannija, presented a memorandum on the "Korean Peace Plan" to Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zhang Hanfu in Beijing, and briefed Zhang Hanfu on the Korean peace plan. However, the Chinese side did not do anything about this, but turned the Indians into a single army. Chen Jiakang, director of the Department of Asian Affairs of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, met with the Counsellor of the Indian Embassy and asked the Counsellor of the Indian Embassy four questions in succession: Why do the 13 countries not oppose the US aggression against China and the DPRK? Why didn't the Thirteen declare the withdrawal of foreign troops from Korea? Why did the 13 countries have no reaction when the US military crossed the 38th parallel? Why is there still the Philippines among the thirteen countries that participated in the invasion of Korea? For China's rhetorical question, the Indians naturally have nothing to say, so the Chinese are disdainful of this proposal of the thirteen countries.
