The Travelers of the Heavens

After the negotiation was completed, Wang Yu stayed in the capital for a few days, and treated them well. Before leaving, Wang Yu also named Li Shouxin the Grand Marshal of the Mongol Khanate and conferred the title of earl..

This made Li Shouxin so excited that he knelt down to Wang Yu and kowtowed a few times. Faced with Li Shouxin's enthusiasm, Wang Yu accepted it"reluctantly".

King De and Li Shouxin took the edict in both Zhou and Mongolian languages ​​with Wang Yu's seal and a large number of arms back to Xilin Gol to recruit troops and horses to prepare to attack other Mongolian princes in Inner and Inner Mongolia who opposed them.

After temporarily settling King De, Wang Yu decided to leave Rooster Land and return to the mainland of the Great Zhou Empire for a few days, and then return to the Land of Nine Provinces and Ten Thousand Kingdoms to have a hot time with the Empress and the Eastern King. If he could find some"fresher delicacies" during this period, he would Better.

Just before Wang Yu left, a piece of news reached the capital.

In December 1952, after the general election in Country M, Truman stepped down, and his old rival Dewey successfully ran for office and formed a new administration.

In reality, it was General Eisenhower who succeeded Truman. However, the war situation in Western Europe was in danger at this time. Eisenhower was unable to withdraw and could only continue to squat in Europe and command the United Nations troops to block holes everywhere.

Although there are nearly 2 million United Nations troops in Western Europe, the Kyushu Army and the Japs combined have more than 3 million, and their offensive is rapid and fierce. Since the 15th Group Army of Country M was annihilated at the beginning of the year, the morale of the United Nations troops has been greatly frustrated. By December 1, 1952 On the same day, in nearly a year of fierce fighting, the Kyushu Army and the Japanese drove the United Nations forces to several isolated port cities on the Atlantic coast of northern Gaul.

Frightened by the naval power of the United Nations, the Kyushu Army and the Japanese confronted the United Nations from a distance.

In Chaoxian, Asia, the 8th Army of Country M under the command of Van Fleet was making great progress. In this year's battle, they defeated the Kyushu Army and lost the city and territory. The battle line was pushed back to the vicinity of Beizhen, and Beizhen's The situation is also precarious.

Taking Beizhen and driving the Kyushu Army back to the northeast was Van Fleet's operational plan.

After Dewey established the new government, he was committed to ending this meaningless war. After being sworn in on December 10, 1952, he immediately sent someone to secretly contact the capital and handed over a document.

This document was the Armistice, and Dewey wanted to"work for peace."

The war has reached this point, and both Taiwan, Country M, and other allies of the United Nations have shown signs of exhaustion.

Although country M claims to be the"arsenal and general rear area of ​​the United Nations" and"the beacon of world civilization," young men and women from country M are dying on the battlefield in droves, and country M's homeland is also constantly being attacked by intercontinental missiles. The bombings inflicted heavy casualties on the domestic population, and agriculture also shrank.

Even if Country M's industrial strength can support them to continue fighting, if Country M's population is rapidly and significantly reduced due to the war, there is no point in having more guns, and what will happen even if Country M wins the war. Country M cannot accept the kind of victory that"kills 1,000 enemies and damages 999".

Therefore, an armistice became an urgent goal for the newly appointed Dewey administration. Even if a permanent armistice could not be achieved, it would at least be able to secure a truce for one or two terms of Dewey's term.

The people of Country M really can't afford this expensive"bill", which is the life of each living young man of Country M.

Looking at the defeat reports and casualty figures on his desk in his office, Dewey also had a big head and a big head.

Capital, Old Summer Palace. December 25, 1952, Christmas.

One after another, inconspicuous military vehicles carried an uninvited guest into the temporary shelter of the Anton Governor's Mansion in the Old Summer Palace.

"Mr. Williams, please get out of the car." A translator from the Kyushu Army got out of the car first, and then said in fluent M-style English to a middle-aged man from country M wearing a black windbreaker and a top hat in the car.

This man Mr. Williams got out of the car and was taken to Wang Qi's office hall by a translator and a few soldiers.

Mr. Williams is a senator from Country M and Dewey's secret envoy. He is here to deliver peace negotiation documents and test the waters. The attitude of the capital

"Vice President, Mr. Williams has been brought here." The translator first went inside and replied to Wang Qi.

"Let him come here," Wang Qi ordered.

Soon, Williams was led to the office hall.

After greetings, Wang Qi motioned for Williams to sit down, and the maid served hot tea.

"Mr. Williams has traveled thousands of miles to come to the capital to deliver a signal of peace?" Wang Qi said straight to the point.

"Yes, prince, the war has been going on for more than ten years. Soldiers on both sides have suffered heavy casualties and the economy has been severely damaged. People all over the world hope that peace will come soon. This time I was appointed by Congress to negotiate an armistice." William James talked.

Then he handed over a document

"Mr. Williams has worked hard all the way. Please rest for a few days. As for the negotiation, I need to discuss it with other ministers and I will give you a reply within three days at the latest. Is that okay?" Wang Qi flipped through the document and said to Williams.

"Okay." Williams nodded in agreement.

After settling Williams, Wang Qi did not dare to delay and reported directly to his father.

Wang Yu had originally wanted to leave the Old Summer Palace, but he couldn't bear the pestering of Jing Salamander and Pei Nanwei, so he delayed like this Days

"There are too many things, you can handle it yourself." Wang Yu took the document handed over by his son and said impatiently without reading it.

"Yes, I prefer to cease the war for a period of time, and we can better stabilize the situation here." Wang Qi took back the document and then expressed his opinion.

"You can make up your own mind," Wang Yu said. Then he drove his son away.

The next morning, Wang Yu left the Old Summer Palace and went to live happily. Wang Qi discussed it with Chu Bufan and then summoned Williams to formally agree. Country M's request for peace talks.

After Williams learned about the attitude of the capital, he breathed a long sigh of relief. If the peace talks can succeed, even if it is a temporary truce, for country M and the Western world, which have been baptized by war, He, Williams, was also the first hero to"break the deadlock."

The news that the Great Zhou Empire and the United Nations Army led by Country M were about to hold formal negotiations on the armistice spread quickly.

People all over the world, especially the Western world, were looking forward to it Negotiations can be successful.

But Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan is very worried about this. Once the two sides reach an agreement to end this world war, then where will the Taiwan Kuomintang go? Chang Kaishen does not think that all the Kyushu Army will withdraw from Rooster Land. You must know that the Kuomintang and the M people After more than ten years of fighting, the Kyushu Army could not be driven out of the Rooster Land. How could something that could not be done on the battlefield be done at the negotiation table.

On the other hand, the capital, in the name of the regent, ordered the Kyushu Army on the Western European front The army stopped attacking and waited for further instructions.

The United Nations soldiers who were struggling to hold on in places such as Cherbourg and Calais also received orders for ceasefire negotiations. They breathed a sigh of relief and could finally live for a while longer. They hoped that the negotiations would succeed soon. End this damn war.

In Chaoxian, the United Nations Forces in the Asia-Pacific led by Country M also received orders, and the soldiers stopped fighting and waited for the results of the negotiations. The

15th Corps of the Kyushu Army received a different order from their European counterparts, that is, Strengthen the defense line and replenish troops and equipment. At the same time, the 42nd Army under the 13th Corps and the 105th Army under the 23rd Corps secretly went to Chaoxian to reinforce the 15th Corps to strengthen the defense line on the south bank of the Yalu River.

In this way, the Kyushu Army fighting in Chaoxian It has reached 6 armies and 24 divisions, with a total strength of 700,000.

Under this background, Chaoxian is unlikely to cease the war easily. It is estimated that unforeseen incidents will occur during the negotiations between the two parties.

"Teacher, do you want to negotiate with them personally? Do you think too highly of them?" Wang Qi asked when he learned that Chu Bufan was going to negotiate with the representatives of Country M in person.

"I just want to go to Xikou, Zhejiang for a few days, and the negotiation is just on the way," Chu Bufan said with a smile.

This time the negotiation took place in Xikou, Zhejiang, Chang Kaishen's hometown. This was the location chosen by Chu Bufan just to make fun of him. Chang Kaishen

"That's it." Wang Qi smiled and said

"So teacher, do you think this negotiation will be successful?"Wang Qi asked

"This new official, Dewey, is very high-spirited when he takes office. We might as well give him some face," Chu Bufan said.

He plans to cease the war for four years, that is, during Dewey's first term.

""Yeah." Wang Qi nodded.

After Chu Bufan returned to his palace,

"Husband, is there really a truce?"Ying Yuxi came over to help Chu Bufan take off his coat and asked.

"A truce is a truce; without the regent's will, I dare not end the war without authorization," Chu Bufan said. At this time, Ying Xiao brought a cup of hot tea over

"OK." Chu Bufan took the hot tea and sat on the sofa.

"Husband, why did you go to Zhejiang to negotiate? Can’t you let people from country M come to the capital?" Ying Xiao asked

"I want to visit Zhejiang and inspect our defense line in the southeast region," Chu Bufan said.
