the world is at stake

The C ration alone is divided into two types: meat and vegetables, and the accessories include cigarettes, matches, toilet paper, chewing gum, and water purification tablets. K rations also contain banknotes, which are convenient for American soldiers to spend in war zones.

After the volunteers occupied the enemy's field kitchen, they found that these old Americans actually set up ovens on the battlefield in order to eat well, using precious kerosene as fuel to bake delicious bread.

The U.S. cooks were very honest, and took the initiative to invite the volunteers to taste freshly baked bread and roast chicken.The soldiers looked at the big fat chickens that were fragrant and dripping with oil. It would be a lie to say that they were not greedy, but these were given priority to the prisoners and wounded.

"It's done, it's done, our division has made a fortune." A deputy commander of the 88th Division ran to the airport, and after walking around, he was so excited that he was hot all over.

Although it is said that "everything captured must be turned over", but the captured troops can also ask for part of it from their superiors.

Just the rations in a few warehouses of the US military are enough for the whole division to fight tooth sacrifices for a few days.As for the seized equipment, it is completely possible to equip another American armored regiment.

"The Yankees are really extravagant. This is only one regiment, and the equipment and logistics are just as good. What kind of comfortable life can they live as a division?"

The soldier in charge couldn't help asking, "Chief, I heard that the American prisoners said that every household in their place has a car. Is it true?"

The deputy mayor also scratched his head, but he couldn't avoid the question, "It should be. The Yankees are indeed strong. They eat, drink, and scatter a hundred times better than us. But they obviously live a good life, but they don't let us live a good life."

"Why are they so unreasonable?"

"Bandits, how can they be reasonable? If they are reasonable, it must be a last resort. The best situation we can get now is to force them to be reasonable."

It is not easy to make the US emperor reason.

When the U.S. Tenth Army Corps was in a desperate situation at Changjin Lake, Zhou Qingfeng, who was far away on the other side of the world, was sitting in his office at the Pentagon.

The war in North Korea was transmitted back to Washington by radio, and it was spread inside the Pentagon-the 10 men of the Tenth Army were likely to face an unprecedented rout.

Ballistic missiles, cloud bombs, high-efficiency air defense, and the prototype of digital artillery.The combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army is much stronger than imagined.

An atmosphere of anxiety permeated the US Department of Defense. Many hardliners were unwilling to accept the reality of failure and were clamoring for the use of atomic bombs against China.

When Zhou Qingfeng went to the restaurant for lunch, he could hear all kinds of retaliation remarks.This is so similar to the trade war decades later, it is a tactic of flipping the table if you can't afford to lose.

Amid the turmoil, a dangerous atmosphere was approaching Zhou Qingfeng—on the Korean battlefield, the situation of the volunteers using a large number of German and American ordnance was spreading rapidly.

Some people have wondered how the Chinese get equipment updates?This is like a small flame, which may turn into a raging flame at any time in the current period of rampant McCarthyism.

"Why isn't this dungeon mission over yet?" Zhou Qingfeng returned to his small office and called up the mission panel.

In the comments of the second stage, there is a note of 'Brotherhood' - allowing the results of the copy task to have a certain degree of influence on the main time and space.

"The 'Brotherhood' bastards aren't going to try to renege again, are they? How long are they going to fight this war? And it won't end?"

While thinking about it, the female secretary Lena ran into Zhou Qingfeng's office with a panicked expression on her face, hugged the man's body and cried, sobbing, "Congress... some members of Congress said they want to investigate us?"

Chapter 66 Exposed

On March 51, 3, the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army, which was strengthened in arms, launched the Battle of Changjin Lake. In just one day, it defeated the 25rd Division of the US Army and the [-]st Marine Division, each eating a regiment of the other side.

After nightfall, the U.S. Tenth Army began to mine a large number of mines and retreated quickly.In the next five days, nearly 10 people, blocked by air strikes and shelling, ran wildly along the mountain road from Changjin Lake to Hamxing City.

Due to the limited road traffic capacity, the Tenth Army lost all its heavy equipment, and MacArthur forced the Far Eastern Air Force to fight desperately before bringing the Tenth Army back by sea in early April.

This is another 'Dunkirk'-style victory, at least the U.S. military itself is so publicized.But they will not announce to the public that they have lost more than 1000 fighters and more than [-] pilots and crew members.

The U.S. Fifth Air Force was crippled.

"Dear Comrade Stalin, according to the fact that Comrade Zhukov led a team to the North Korean front for on-the-spot observations, the Chinese comrades achieved impressive results this time, and their tactics and tactics will also change our future military development."

In the No. [-] office of the Kremlin, Beria synthesized various intelligences and introduced the situation on the battlefield to Uncle Steel.He repeated Zhukov's report with enthusiasm, because Stalin was happy and loved hearing it.

The written report was placed on Stalin's desk, and the leader of the socialist camp was overjoyed after reading it.The report first praised Uncle Steel, saying that the achievements in the Korean battlefield cannot be separated from his support and leadership.

The Tenth Army of the U.S. Army had 10 troops, and in the end less than [-] were able to leave by plane and landing ship, and the rest were all abandoned.

Among them, the two South Korean divisions, the third division and the capital division, were all captured except for a small number of senior generals who fled. The US military did not treat them as human beings.

"The Chinese comrades made a request, hoping that we would do the work of the North Korean comrades. These South Korean captives are not suitable for handing over to the North Korean side at present." Beria said, this was not written in the report in literal form.

"Why?" Stalin asked back, frowning.

"Because North Korea and South Korea treat each other's captives extremely cruelly. Chinese comrades are worried that South Korean troops will not surrender in the future, so they don't want to hand over these captives to North Korea."

Beria himself doesn't care much about this, after all, most armies around the world treat prisoners of war poorly.The U.S. military abused German prisoners of war, and the Soviet army captured Japanese prisoners of war and used them as hard labor.

Those who can treat captives as masters are considered communists.But the Chinese Ambassador Wang asked many people to give feedback to Stalin, and Beria just said it in passing.

Stalin was noncommittal and did not answer.

Beria continued: "This time, the U.S. military lost a lot in this defeat, and basically lost the military supplies and heavy equipment of the entire army, most of which were too late to destroy.

The Chinese comrades are equivalent to getting hundreds of millions of dollars worth of American equipment out of thin air, enough for them to form a [-]-strong heavy-armored American army. "

"A U.S. Armed Forces?" Stalin felt that this was a bit exaggerated, "So many captured?"

"More than 3 tanks, [-] guns with a caliber of [-] mm or more, [-] tons of explosives, [-] radio stations, [-] vehicles, more than [-] firearms and hundreds of millions of rounds of ammunition.

All the materials add up to more than 20 tons, and even include several helicopters and transport planes, as well as a dozen landing craft that were left in Xingnan Port. "

Beria also sighed after finishing speaking, "I didn't believe it at first, and I sent people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to check. But similar to what Comrade Zhukov reported, the equipment and military supplies discarded by the US military will only be more or less."

Only the US military can do this extravagant way of throwing away.If anyone dared to throw so much equipment inside the Soviet army, let alone 20 tons, even [-] tons would be enough to be shot hundreds of times.

Parentheses - Maozi disintegration will not be counted.

"The Chinese comrades are probably used to being poor. They put away almost everything on the battlefield. Including the more than 400 million shell casings that the US military destroyed in the Changjin Lake area in the past six months."

In the Battle of Shangganling in the original history, the U.S. military destroyed more than 30 rounds of large-caliber artillery shells a day.Now in Changjin Lake, the U.S. military consumes a lot.

The shell casings destroyed by the Americans were thrown everywhere, but they never thought of recycling them.Basically, there are mountains of shell casings near every artillery position.All are high-quality refined brass, at least tens of thousands of tons.

Just moving these shell casings made the volunteers happy and distressed.The transportation in the mountainous area is inconvenient. I want to move the baby home but suffer from insufficient transport capacity, so I can only do it in a hurry.

Many things that the U.S. military considers to be waste are all available in the hands of the volunteers.

Stalin was quite touched by the outcome of the battle.

Zhukov's report was very detailed. After enumerating a large amount of data, he concluded that the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army currently has the ability to directly challenge the US military to the same level, and it will never be inferior to the Soviet army.

In particular, the combination of short-range missiles with the air force and artillery caused the volunteers to suffer very few casualties in the battle-the US military lost more than 5, and the volunteers did not even reach [-].Most of the time, infantry are really there to clean up the battlefield.

but……

"The Chinese ambassador expressed today that he hopes we can persuade the North Korean comrades to agree to the current stage of the Korean armistice negotiations. The two sides will establish a demarcation line based on the [-]th parallel."

Beria said this carefully.

Sure enough, Stalin turned cold, "Don't the Chinese comrades intend to drive the Americans out of North Korea?"

"They think that unless they can get more aid, they will restore the situation to the pre-war situation at most." Beria said, "Their equipment is basically provided by us, or the World War II scraps from Europe. Even if these seized a large number of U.S. military equipment, but once these military supplies are exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous. I think Chinese comrades are still very clear-headed and have not been dazzled by a victory."

In the original history, the first armistice negotiation in North Korea was proposed by the Soviet Union in June 51 and held in Kaesong, North Korea in July.Now under the push of Xiao Jinlang, it is hoped that it can be brought forward to April.

Now that the U.S. military has been completely hurt, it is possible to end the war early if it is good.After all, the most important task in the country is to restore the economy, suppress bandits and land reforms, and conquer Xinjiang and Taiwan.

If South Korea can be completely wiped out, that's of course good.

Although this allows North Korea to expand its power, it can reduce a springboard for the United States in Northeast Asia, leaving Japan alone.Generally speaking, it is good for China.

But it is not easy to drive the United States away completely.Long-term entanglement with the United States in North Korea is even more meaningless-it consumes precious domestic manpower, material and financial resources, and if it wins, it can't occupy more land.

Besides, it is always beneficial to negotiate a truce.Even if it stops for a month or two, the country can breathe a sigh of relief.

Stalin was still noncommittal about this.But Beria knew that the boss must have listened to it—it is easy to misfire a hot war with the United States in North Korea, and it is quite dangerous.

At the same time, Xiao Jinlang was happy and worried in the country.

The situation on the Korean battlefield is good, and both the casualties and the results are far beyond expectations.This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for New China, and it also greatly reduces the burden.

What is worrying is that the war was fought so well that the Americans can't be suspicious. How could China suddenly become so strong?As long as there is an in-depth investigation, Zhou Qingfeng's identity will inevitably be exposed.

In Zhongnanhai's office, Xiao Jinlang carefully read the long telegrams that Zhou Qingfeng had forwarded to him many times.

Now the domestic development is quite good, and the financial expenditure that was originally forced to be thrown into the bottomless pit of war is used for economic construction, and the war expenditure has been reduced from [-]% of the total budget expenditure to [-]%.

The construction machinery brought in from Messoud has completed the initial personnel training, and the next step is either to go to the construction site for construction, or to build a factory and start a business.

If things go on like this, domestic development will be faster and stronger.

But because of the fiasco at Changjin Lake, the "African American Committee" led by McCarthy was very angry, claiming that it was the result of sabotage by communists inside the United States.

But Zhou Qingfeng...doesn't want to evacuate.For one thing, the dungeon didn't show any signs of ending, and the 'Brotherhood' gang didn't mean to admit defeat.Second, he still has a lot of work to do.

In order to save face, Father Clark made a big bet by unilaterally agreeing that the ending of the dungeon would affect the main time and space.If Zhou Qingfeng made more money in the United States, the 'Holy Light' team would win more.

Chinese scientists such as Qian Xuesen are collecting scientific literature in the United States.This kind of systematic literature library can greatly improve the domestic scientific research level and lay the foundation for the cultivation of talents.

By the end of March, with the help of the channel provided by Yu Jishi, the first batch of archives had already been shipped, and they will arrive in the mainland via Taiwan at the end of April.There are still five or six batches of documents and a large amount of scientific research equipment and equipment to be shipped over.

If Zhou Qingfeng evacuated, he would not be able to take advantage of this big advantage.

"But this guy's mission is a one-shot deal." After reading the telegram, Xiao Jinlang found that Zhou Qingfeng didn't say how he would get rid of the US investigation. "What is he going to do?"

At this moment, Zhou Qingfeng really had some headaches, he got a warning from Lena, and immediately set about erasing his record of arms smuggling in the past six months.

But some things cannot be erased.

For example, the boss of 'Major Chanders', Major General John knew that his capable subordinate must have done something disgraceful.

In addition, warehouses across the United States and Europe have received orders from the 'Post-War Property Administration' to clean up and transport tens of thousands of tons of military supplies.A simple search will lead to 'Major Chanders'.

The moment Zhou Qingfeng walked out of the Pentagon after get off work, he was on high alert.He carried a 'Gade submachine gun' in his briefcase, and he was ready to fight with people at any time, and it would not be a bad idea to bloodbath the US Department of Defense if necessary.

But everything in the Ministry of Defense was as usual, with civilians coming and going, and the guards looking vigilantly, but they didn't deliberately stare at a mere major.

Walking out of the Pentagon, Zhou Qingfeng didn't go to the parking lot to find his car.He changed his usual walking route, walked slowly for a certain distance, found a phone booth by the side of the road, threw a few coins, and dialed Qin Qing.

When the fiancée's soft voice came through the microphone, Zhou Qingfeng sighed: "I should have been exposed, but the enemy is not sure who I am, and they are going to cast a long line to catch big fish. You have to be careful."

Qin Qing's calm voice came from the phone, "Evacuate immediately."

"No, I want to know who is checking me and how deep it is."

Chapter 67 Investigation Approach

Zhou Qingfeng carried his briefcase, walked north of the Pentagon, and slowly walked into the Arlington Cemetery.

The Yankees had not long established their country, but they valued their poor history very much, and the historical records were fairly clear.This quiet cemetery has become a symbol of the American spirit, with lawns and trees, and 10,000+ white tombstones.

There are people walking around in the cemetery from time to time, but it is basically quiet.Zhou Qingfeng found a bench at random, took a breath of fresh air in an open environment, and cleared his mind.

After working in the 'Post-War Property Management Bureau' for nearly half a year, Zhou Qingfeng passed hundreds of millions of dollars in assets.He has taken millions of tons of supplies from hundreds of warehouses in Europe and America, half of which have already been shipped.

After doing so many things, it would be too arrogant to say that there are no clues, and it is only natural that they will be investigated.So he is like an octopus every day, using his position to obtain information from the US investigative agency to see if anyone is following him.

Before the Battle of Changjin Lake, no one really came to investigate.But after the disastrous battle, the military and political circles in Washington were like boiling water, bubbling with bubbles.

As the major general's secretary, Lena overheard calls from the Senate Armed Services Committee, then the FBI, and finally McCarthy's 'Un-American Committee'.

These calls all talked about the problem that the Chinese army on the Korean battlefield is equipped with too many advanced weapons.

Some make sense, such as the improved V-2 missile.Although this thing is advanced, the Soviet Union can indeed manufacture and develop a more advanced P(R)-2 missile.

But some don't make sense, such as the '88 gun' for anti-aircraft and the 'Willis' jeep with a small gun.There are too many of them, too many to be normal.

Soon, American investigators discovered that in the past six months, hundreds of warehouses storing World War II equipment for the US military stationed in Europe had been emptied.Since the Americans themselves couldn't figure out what was in the warehouse, how many things were lost became a mess.

But this is enough to cause anxiety and anger in the US government.

Lena was still able to overhear the calls, which means she hasn't been suspected yet.Zhou Qingfeng was not called to talk by Major General John, no doubt he was being targeted.

Counterintelligence is not a criminal investigation, suspicion is enough.

It stands to reason that Zhou Qingfeng should have walked out of the Pentagon and fled immediately after he became alert.There are many evacuation routes to ensure that the US anti-espionage agencies will not catch anyone.

Because it's only 51 years now, counterintelligence is very inefficient.

There is no surveillance, no small tape recorders, not even a mobile phone.Most of the current bugs are electronic tubes, which consume too much power and are difficult to hide.

There are also bugs that don't consume power, but they are difficult to install.

If you want to follow, you can only drive and use a telescope to aim, and it is easy to lose track.Surveillance can only be done by setting up a room near the target, setting up a lot of equipment, and directly cutting into the telephone line.

It is also difficult for counterintelligence agents to coordinate with each other because the walkie-talkies are large and cumbersome, which can easily give themselves away.

Zhou Qingfeng would not be surprised if a group of serious-looking guys suddenly appeared at this moment and demanded his arrest. What was surprising was that no one came.

Pretending to connect with someone, Zhou Qingfeng sat on the bench in the Arlington Cemetery for over an hour.His keen perception told him that there were indeed some suspicious guys appearing around him.

Although this group of people has different faces every time, their crappy stalking techniques are not worth mentioning.

After an hour's stay, Zhou Qingfeng did not return to the parking lot of the Pentagon.He walked to the side of the road and hailed a taxi to go home.

'Wife' Li Ji prepared dinner, and when she saw her husband came back, she smiled and hugged her.The little BABY at home has learned to walk, and even if he stumbles, he needs to be hugged.

"Sorry, I'm late." Zhou Qingfeng walked to the dining table with the child in his arms, and took advantage of the opportunity to praise Li Ji's cooking skills.

"It's okay, I'm late for cooking today." Li Ji has been full of worries in the past six months, and her husband has become more understanding, but he always goes to meet his lover secretly.
