After Zhang Fei determined the strategy, he immediately reported it to Zhang Jun and sought his superior's decision.
This war concerns the outcome of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, as well as Daxia's prestige in the world, and must be carefully considered.
After receiving Zhang Fei's report, Zhang Jun immediately reported the situation to Li Qiankun.
Li Qiankun convened an emergency meeting that day.
In the Purple Gold Pavilion of Daxia, Li Qiankun, Zhang Jun and other leaders of Daxia gathered together.
Ever since the Great Xia army entered the DPRK, these bigwigs have not slept a wink, as they are concerned about the war in the Northern Dynasty.
This matter was not limited to the Northern Dynasties. The pressure from domestic public opinion and international public opinion all rested on them.
When Li Qiankun saw that everyone had gathered, he said to Zhang Jun, "Now that everyone is here, tell everyone what Zhang Fei reported."
Zhang Jun nodded, stood up and walked to the wall, in front of the map of the Northern and Southern Dynasties that had been hung long ago.
Zhang Jun pointed to the map and said, "Everyone, our army has been in North Korea for three months. We have won two beautiful victories, annihilating the US Seventh Division stationed in Gangling and the South Korean Fourth Army Group stationed in Beidu. Now, our army has 300,000 troops, and the seven army groups are deployed in the main garrisons outside Beidu to prevent the US-West coalition from continuing to advance."
"Although our army won two key victories and successfully blocked the US army's plan to annex the North within ten months, the main US army and its coalition forces are still there."
"Look at the map. According to the news from the front, the 9th and 10th divisions of the US Army have a total of more than 50,000 main forces firmly in control of Shangfengling. If our army wants to recover the lost territory of the Northern Dynasty, we must take this hard bone."
"The US Army has deployed to defend from the offensive. The main plain of Shangfengling, Beiquan, is now defended by the main force of the South Korean 1st Army Group, about 70,000 troops. On the left side of Jinjiling, three divisions of the Japanese coalition forces with more than 50,000 troops are deployed."
"If you want to take Shangfengling, you must take these two points. To the right of Shangfengling is Chifengling, which has the largest number of troops. The 1st and 3rd Group Armies of the Allied Forces stationed there have a total of 110,000 troops, so it will be very difficult to take Shangfengling."
"The American army is deployed like this, and they also want to fight us at Shangfengling. This war is crucial to us."
"Victory will give us a huge advantage in recovering lost territory. Defeat will be fatal to our subsequent military operations in the Northern Dynasty."
After saying this, Zhang Jun returned to his seat.
Everyone started to discuss the current situation.
Li Qiankun discussed with everyone for a while and asked: "Everyone, this battle is not only related to our military situation in the Northern Dynasty, but also to our international status."
"It's not easy for Daxia to get to where we are today. Although we don't advocate external expansion, we will never tolerate being bullied by any country. When necessary, we will go all out to protect the dignity of the country."
Li Qiankun's words have actually made his position clear. At this point, he must be sure.
At this time, we cannot retreat.
War is no joke, and he also needs everyone's support!
"We must know what is before us now. How should we fight this war and when is the best time to do so?"
"That's right. This war is no longer limited to the North. The whole world is paying attention to it. Especially since the news of our army entering North Korea has spread, there are many news that are unfavorable to us."
"Internationally, people say that we forcibly interfered in the political affairs of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. We hindered the unification of the North and the South and were the main factor that triggered the war. Many people say that the North-South War was actually provoked by us. They say that the Northern Dynasty took the initiative to attack, and it was us who instigated it behind the scenes."
"This is a lie. The war between the North and South was caused by the United States. If they were not aggressive, would the North take the initiative to attack? Even if the North did not, the war would have started sooner or later."
"Western countries are all running dogs of the United States. It is not surprising that they say so. Although they say so, we cannot ignore international public opinion. Now they are pointing the finger at us, saying that we disregarded international treaties and privately sent troops into North Korea to launch a sneak attack on the US military. Is this an act of aggression?"
"We can't control what they say. Now that we've gotten angry, there's no reason to retreat. We have to fight. If we don't hurt them, they'll think we're easy to bully."
"You're right. Now the arrow is on the string and has to be shot. If we don't stop, will the US army stop? The US will let us get away with it. If they really occupy the North, we will be like Russia, surrounded by them on all sides and live in fear every day. Is this possible?"
"Yes, we must. My opinion is that we must also direct public opinion to the US military. We can't let them say whatever they want. We in Daxia never advocate war, but we are not afraid of war. Who in the world doesn't know that the US has evil ambitions? They want to splash the dirt of this war on us, so we will splash it back."
"Yes, that's right. We have to speak out internationally. Tell the world that this war is being fought by the United States. Our Great Xia army has a strategic alliance with the Northern Dynasty, so military assistance is extraordinary."
"Another point is that the whole world is paying attention to this war. Many people are worried that this war will get out of control and trigger World War III. Or, it will evolve into a nuclear war."
After listening to everyone's opinions, Li Qiankun nodded slightly: "Well, everyone has pointed out the problem. If you are determined, how can you solve it? Now the US army has completely stopped attacking and is preparing for a decisive battle. With this attitude, they are just waiting for us to take the initiative to attack. Whether we win or lose, they will have an excuse."
"We cannot ignore the voice of the international community. Therefore, we must make our voice known to the world. When necessary, we can agree to bring the issue of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the table and see the attitude of the United States. We still hope for peace, so show your attitude."
"If the United States is determined not to withdraw its troops, then we should seize this point. Only when we are convinced and afraid of them, will they sit down and talk calmly."
"As for whether it will lead to a world war or a nuclear war, our attitude is that we will never use nuclear weapons first. We will never lead to a full-scale conflict between the two countries, and will limit ourselves to a local war. At the same time, we will never use weapons of mass destruction and stick to our principles."
"Of course, if the US military uses mass killers or nuclear weapons against our soldiers or the North Korean army and people, we will not hesitate to strike back and show no mercy."
"So, we have to tell the world this message. We are determined not to use nuclear weapons first. If World War III or a nuclear war that endangers the world is triggered, it will be caused by the United States."
After Li Qiankun finished speaking, everyone agreed and prepared for the battle as he said.
After the meeting, Li Qiankun said to Zhang Jun: "Tell Zhang Fei that we agree with his strategic deployment to Shangfengling. We will not intervene and we will decide when."
"놆."
