Chapter 1184 Going Home
From November 27th to December 24th, the nearly month-long Battle of Chosin Reservoir finally came to an end.

在长津湖周边70公里范围，志愿军第9兵团15万人vs米帝17个堂口第10军10万人。

In places like Xinxingli, Liutanli, Xiajieyuli, and Shuimenqiao, battles were fought in extremely cold environments. In temperatures as low as -40°C, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army overcame logistical disadvantages with sheer willpower and accomplished their strategic missions.

When Lin Hao returned to Beijing by plane, he heard the latest battle reports in the streets and alleys.

When the newspapers from the capital arrived, even seasoned newsstand owners were stunned by the headline.

As a participant in the battle, Lin Hao felt honored, after all, he had made a contribution.

Below the text is a group of American soldiers with their hands raised in surrender and empty eyes, along with a battlefield photo of American soldiers lying dead, clearly taken at the front lines.

Of course, we can't forget the photo taken by journalist Harrison Taylor at Chosin Reservoir, showing the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers lifting the camouflage from their machine guns and aiming at them.

This classic photograph, after many twists and turns and the passage of time, finally won the Pulitzer Prize that Harrison had longed for.

"A great victory! It's a truly great victory! Good heavens! We've wiped out the entire vanguard of the US 17th Division in a single battle, capturing 35,000 prisoners!"

"That's really something. They just beat the Kuomintang to a pulp a few days ago, and now they're starting to beat the Americans?"

"My goodness, since the Qing Dynasty, when have we ever been able to defeat foreigners? This new government is really going to change the world. They can even defeat the Americans. They're really going to keep the enemy out of the country!"

"It can't be fake, can it? We just don't believe it. These are all Chinese people. In just a few years, they've managed to beat the foreigners like this?"

"Fake? How could it be fake? Look at this photo. Aren't these the American soldiers stationed in Beiping a few years ago? See? There are over a thousand arrested in this photo. How could it be fake?"

"Yes, yes, photos can't be faked. Things are really changing. The new government is different. The days of being bullied by foreigners are coming to an end. Great, great!"

When the Koreans were sent to war before, the people were mostly excited but also a little scared. Now that the Americans have been really beaten to a pulp and such a great victory has been achieved. Suddenly, the whole of Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Guangdong are in an uproar!

Almost every major city in the country was abuzz with excitement, especially the most active student workers, who held victory celebrations in various places that afternoon.

There was no other way. After being bullied by foreigners for so many years, we finally beat them to a pulp and rubbed them into the ground. It was a moment of triumph.

Not only students and workers, but also social celebrities, held fundraising events to donate money to the volunteer army on the front lines to buy weapons and supplies, and to support them in fighting the Americans.

At Peking University, Professor Zhang spent a large sum of money to buy more than a dozen newspapers. When the students were celebrating their victory, he came to the office and gave each teacher a front-page copy with the headline "The Chinese People's Volunteer Army's Great Victory."

In particular, Mr. Lin, who wears glasses, was given three different newspapers by Mr. Lin, and Mr. Lin deliberately showed him the front page headlines.

His actions left the teachers in the office either ashamed or furious, especially Teacher Lin, whose face turned red as she pointed at Teacher Zhang, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

“Teacher Zhang, we’re all colleagues, why make things so ugly? It’s just that the government beat the US, what does it have to do with us?” Teacher Lin stood up and angrily pointed out.

Teacher Zhang did not refute, but simply smiled and said:

"Teacher Lin, I'm handing out newspapers to let you all know one thing: times have changed. This is a new government, not the likes of the Beiyang government and Guo Fu who kowtowed to foreigners!"

"We teachers also need to update our thinking. If we can't keep up with the times, we will be eliminated!"

"Otherwise, when the students come up to you in the future and point their fingers at you, saying that your thinking is still stuck in the old society, it will be embarrassing for us teachers!"

Having said all that needed to be said, Teacher Zhang then ignored Teacher Lin, who was talking about rice essence. He still had to share the good news of the victory with his students. A new era had arrived, and he had to keep up with the times.

Of course, the propaganda could not be limited to the domestic area. With Lin Hao's help, news of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army spread rapidly abroad.

The news that the Chinese army had achieved a great victory over the US 17th Division and annihilated four US divisions in this battle after the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered Korea spread quickly throughout the world.

Needless to say, the Russian and Eastern European media, being in the same camp, naturally publicized this extraordinary victory extensively.

This was, after all, a victory for their own camp, and as a result, their influence in Eastern European countries rose sharply.

There's no way around it; these days, it's all about strength. If you can beat the US, then everyone will acknowledge your strength and naturally respect you.

Lin Hao's main focus was on Western media, which began to report on the matter.

However, unlike the celebratory victory reports from the Russian and Eastern European media, Western media generally displayed a state of panic.

"The previously weak Chinese army seems to have become somewhat different since the founding of the People's Republic of China. In less than a month, it annihilated four US divisions. What a terrifying force this is. Even during the European war, the US did not suffer such large-scale losses in such a short period of time."

"If Russia attacks Europe, is the US really capable of protecting Europe?"

"The United States can't even beat the Chinese army, so how powerful must the Russian bear, which is recognized as the world's number one country, be!"

This is not just about causing panic; it's also about undermining European countries' confidence in the United States. Confidence is a very mysterious thing; sometimes it's useless, but sometimes it plays a decisive role.

Several European countries, especially those on the front lines of the confrontation, have expressed this concern. They are also afraid that the United States will withdraw troops to Asia, which would completely destroy their sense of security.

The United States did not expect that it would suffer such a complete defeat, with four divisions annihilated. What the United States did not expect was that the consequences of the defeat would be so severe that it would shake the strategic center of Europe.

At this point, they naturally sensed the crisis, so the US Foreign Ministry stated that the US would absolutely not redeploy troops to Asia and would maintain its military advantage over Russia in Europe.

In an effort to restore this confidence, the US leadership even suggested that they might plant nuclear bombs in South Korea to deter the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's territorial ambitions toward South Korea.

However, this did not completely dispel the concerns of the European public. Under Lin Hao's strategy of using "money power," more and more legends about China quickly spread in the media and among the public.

For the first time in nearly a century, China has not appeared in Europe as a victim or a colony.

Instead, it appeared in European media as a nation that had defeated the world's leading capitalist power, allowing Europeans to learn for the first time about China's formidable military strength. The news spread like wildfire across Europe, and Da Ying was no exception; more than just widespread rumors.

Because of this incident, Da Ying was also involved. Da Ying's 27th Brigade was completely annihilated along with the US 1st Cavalry Division on the western front. This matter could not be concealed and caused an extremely strong reaction in Da Ying.

The people of Great Britain are extremely angry and dissatisfied with the Great British government's decision to send its troops to die in places where Great Britain has absolutely no benefit.

This even sparked a series of protests and dissatisfaction among many senior congressmen, especially when the United States announced its intention to use nuclear weapons, which caused a huge uproar.

If the US uses a nuclear bomb, Russia is very likely to retaliate. If Russia uses a nuclear bomb in Europe, then apart from West Germany on the front lines, the most likely victim would be Germany.

Because the United States is widely recognized as a bridgehead for the United States in Europe, as it was during World War II.

Although Da Ying tried her best to get rid of this identity and restore her status as the world's overlord, the Russian bear thought so, and Da Ying couldn't shake it off no matter what.

Unable to obtain intelligence from the United States, Da Ying hesitated for a full three seconds before secretly sending someone to contact the domestic authorities to inquire about the casualties.

"The Chinese side gave us a detailed reply. The 27th Brigade confirmed that 1612 people were killed in action, 2451 were captured, and 475 were missing. All the dead were taken into custody."

As the Foreign Secretary of the Great Yen, Bering read the contents of the telegram with Prime Minister Attlee.

As one of the first Western countries to recognize the domestic situation, regarding the south... well, let's not talk about that!
The 27th Brigade, with over 5,000 men, was wiped out in one battle. This was something Attlee could not have foreseen; he never expected that China would actually participate in the war.

"Continue to communicate with the Chinese government, ask them to treat our wounded, properly dispose of the bodies of our Da Ying soldiers, and discuss with them whether our chargé d'affaires stranded in China can go to visit the captured soldiers of the 27th Brigade."

Faced with Attlee's decision, Behring couldn't help but say:

"Mr. Prime Minister, doing this is likely to provoke dissatisfaction from the United States."

"Dissatisfaction! God, the Americans have gone mad! They actually want to use nuclear bombs! Do they think that dropping two nuclear bombs will solve the problem?"

"What if the Russians throw mushroom bombs at us? I need to speak with the US president personally to see if he's really gone mad. Da Ying will absolutely not go crazy with them!"

“If the US has the ability to resolve the Korean issue, then they'd better resolve it as soon as possible. If not, then the US will withdraw from the 17th branch of the US government,” Attlee said very seriously.

Everything he did was for the benefit of Da Ying. At this time, Da Ying had not yet completely become a subordinate of the United States, and it still maintained a considerable degree of independence.

Leaving aside these historical events, after the Battle of Chosin Reservoir, based on the performance of the flight cadets in these air battles, Lin Hao believed that it was time to let go.

Having spent over a month in South Korea and had satisfied his craving for flying and masturbating, the higher-ups suggested that Lin Hao return home to recuperate.

Lin Hao was naturally sensible, after all, his expertise lay in helping the country by sourcing supplies from abroad, not in taking risks on the front lines.

Therefore, there was no need for him to remain a conspicuous figure on the front lines, so he took a plane back to the capital.

"Brother Lin is back! Brother Lin is back!"

When Lin Hao appeared at the door, he was immediately spotted by the coal miner at the door, who then shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, Mu Chunhua rushed over and, seeing Lin Hao return, immediately went up to him and searched his body.

"Wife, what are you doing?"

With red eyes, Mu Chunhua said excitedly, "Let me see if you're missing any arms or legs!"

Lin Hao hugged Mu Chunhua tightly and teased her with a smile, "Wife, what are you doing? Are you in such a hurry to change husbands?"

"You're so annoying!" Hearing Lin Hao's teasing, tears silently streamed down her red-rimmed eyes, but she still smiled.

"You rascal, you clearly have the ability to go home anytime, so why haven't you been home for over a month?"

"You have no idea how much I miss you. The kids keep asking me for their dad, and everyone is so worried about you. I have to pretend to be nonchalant, otherwise I can't go on like this," Mu Chunhua said wistfully.

"You think I didn't want to come back? I missed you all very much too, but the front line is different from the home. It's not easy to do anything beyond the norm. I'm sorry you had to endure this hardship!"

Lin Hao picked Mu Chunhua up in his arms and whispered his longing in her ear before heading straight to her room in the central courtyard to continue his story.

An hour later, the two finally poured out their feelings of longing for each other.

"Go see Xiaoru. She found out she was pregnant just a few days after you left!" Mu Chunhua said lazily.

"By the way, don't touch her inappropriately. After all, she's just pregnant, so we can't do anything bad to her!"

"Really? Then I'll go see her right now!" Lin Hao left the main house and went to the east wing.

Upon arriving at Qin Huairu's room, Lin Hao did nothing but spend some time with her, offering her comfort and affection.

By this time, Qin Huairu had been with Lin Hao for more than two years. As the saying goes, "A good environment nourishes the body, and a good environment nourishes the spirit." Qin Huairu was no longer the village belle she once was. Under Lin Hao's care, she had developed the air of a wealthy woman.

After leaving Qin Huairu's room, Lin Hao went to Liu Rusi's room, but the door opened the moment he reached out to push it open, without him even pushing it.

Liu Rusi pulled Lin Hao directly into the room, then locked the door from the inside, and forcefully pushed Lin Hao down.

An hour or so later, Lin Hao went to Bao Feng's room in the backyard. After her desperate pleas, Lin Hao agreed to give her a child.

After comforting her, Lin Hao finally entered Tian Zao's room. The two had only been married a short time, and Lin Hao had been busy with other things.

In the past, Lin Hao would always find time to come back after leaving the capital, but this time they had been separated for more than a month. Because of the strict discipline in the army, they had even met during that time, so Tian Zao was particularly persistent today.
