Although the Southeast and South China branches were semi-independent, they were still nominally subordinate to the Central South Bureau. Therefore, many reports from the Southeast and South China branches were submitted to the central government through the Central South Bureau. Therefore, the Central South Bureau had a lot of reports.

'It's about the export rights of both the public and private sectors, and the demand to open Hankou.'

"what are you thinking?"

The Central-South Bureau and the Central-South Administrative Committee submitted a report to the Central Committee and the State Council.

It's about import and export.

They hope that the central government and the State Council will approve equal import and export rights for both the public and private sectors, and that public and private enterprises will be treated fairly in import and export matters. Unlike business with the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, much of the current import and export business in the South is privately owned.

Because historically, the main forces of import and export here have been bureaucratic capital and private capital.

It was only after the founding of New China that state-owned capital began to gain an advantage.

After all, New China is a socialist country, and when it comes to imports and exports, it will definitely favor state-owned capital. Therefore, many businessmen in South China and Southeast China approached the government, hoping to be granted the same import and export rights.

Then there is the question of opening Hankou.

This is a key recommendation from the Central-South Bureau. Hankou is currently a major export port, with a large volume of goods shipped from it. However, due to the limited transport capacity of domestic shipping companies, the Central-South Bureau recommends opening Hankou to foreign shipping companies. In particular, refrigerated cargo ships should be allowed to enter Hankou to help export goods from the city. Otherwise, many goods cannot be exported, severely impacting import and export trade.

Mao Zemin said, "In principle, I agree with the Central South Bureau's report. The situation on the Korean Peninsula has suddenly deteriorated, severely impacting our import and export trade. At this point, we must do everything we can to stabilize our import and export trade and our external trade channels. Private capital has ways to handle many sensitive trades. As long as their imports and exports are subject to government oversight, they can be given the right to do so. As for the Hankou issue, allowing foreign shipping companies to enter is a workaround until we have sufficient shipping capacity. As long as they are not warships and are merely doing business, they can be allowed to enter Hankou."

On this issue, Mao Zemin, the cadre in charge of import and export trade, had a very important say.

Mao Zemin believed that there was generally no problem with the Central South Bureau's report.

In principle, it can be supported.

Mao Zemin's private discussion with Wei Hongjun was to gain Wei Hongjun's support. After all, granting private enterprises sufficient import and export rights and allowing foreign shipping companies to enter the Yangtze River and come to Hankou were both sensitive matters.

After the outbreak of the Korean War, things are even more sensitive now.

Mao Zemin would oppose it if he were in charge of the Central Committee.

Wei Hongjun nodded and said, "As long as supervision is done well, I also support the Central South Bureau's report."

Wei Hongjun was simpler than Mao Zemin thought.

Not to mention the import and export issues and the Hankou issue, Wei Hongjun even knew that when Chairman Mao visited Guangdong, he even discussed with Tao Zhu how to use Hong Kong capital to develop Guangdong's light industry. Although it ultimately failed, it shows that Chairman Mao was very willing to use outside capital at that time.

At present, the central government will not face much resistance to the issues of import and export rights and the opening of Hankou.

As for what happens in a few years, we’ll talk about it when the time comes.

Mao Zemin was very happy to hear Wei Hongjun's answer. Because Mao Zemin not only had to manage import and export trade with socialist countries, but also had to pay attention to import and export trade with other non-socialist countries. The proposal of the Central South Bureau was very consistent with the current import and export situation in the southern region. The Finance and Economics Committee would hold a national import and export conference in a while, and this would be one of the topics to be discussed. Mao Zemin hoped that the report of the Central South Bureau could be passed. Now

With Wei Hongjun's support, Mao Zemin believed there should be no problem.

As long as it is approved by the Finance and Economics Committee, the central government will basically not reject it.

"Old Zhou, although private enterprises are given the right to import and export, some aspects still need to be coordinated. They cannot export materials prohibited by the country, and they cannot import all kinds of random things. Giving them the right to import and export is because they need to import the materials needed by the country, and by the way, let them make money."

"Don't worry about that. Foreign exchange is so valuable right now, we won't let them import indiscriminately."

834 Establishment of Border Defense Force Headquarters

After the border defense force meeting and the joint logistics meeting, all departments were making intensive preparations.

Because the situation on the Korean Peninsula is changing very quickly.

The Korean People's Army is still conquering one place after another, but this is only on the surface. The Korean People's Army annihilated a lot of South Korean troops and also defeated the American troops that came ashore. But it did not annihilate the American troops that came ashore. Although the American troops were

The militia was defeated, but the troop losses were not as great as expected.

The US military quickly retreated to Busan and established the Busan Defense Perimeter.

Relying on powerful firepower, as well as a strong navy and air force, the Korean People's Army was blocked outside the Busan defense circle. MacArthur ordered the US military to never evacuate Busan and never let Dunkirk happen.

The commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, nicknamed "Bulldog" Walker, said to the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, Gay, the famous words: "We are fighting a war to buy time. We can no longer retreat, withdraw, adjust our positions or take any other measures that can be imagined. We have already

There is no retreat. The forces must strike back, throwing the North Koreans into disarray and disequilibrium. There can be no Dunkirk, no Bataan. A retreat to Pusan ​​would turn it into one of the greatest slaughterhouses in history. We must fight to the bitter end. Captured by the North Koreans

Being captured is worse than dying in battle. We will live and die together. If one of us must die, we will bleed together on the battlefield. Whoever loses this position will be responsible for the deaths of thousands of his compatriots. I ask you to spread this order to all the men in the division. I hope

I hope everyone understands that we must hold this front! We will win! "

Busan became the last stronghold.

The United States cannot allow its troops to withdraw from the Korean Peninsula, so it must not lose Busan. North Korea also knows the intentions of the US-ROK coalition forces, and for North Korea, unification is within reach. As long as the US-ROK coalition forces in Busan are annihilated, or the US-ROK coalition forces are driven out of Busan, then

The independence of the Korean Peninsula is imminent.

Therefore, today the city ordered the Korean People's Army to concentrate its forces to attack Busan and completely annihilate the US-ROK coalition forces in Busan. Unfortunately, the Korean People's Army tried very hard, but was unable to break through the US-ROK coalition's defense circle.

1950年7月30日,拥有两个营共1600人的英军第27旅在釜山登陆,编入美第8集团军,真正意义上的“联合国军"行动开始。

By this time, there were already a lot of UN troops in Busan.

There are about 17 people.

Even without counting the relatively weaker South Korean troops, the US Eighth Army alone numbered approximately 8 men. At that time, the North Korean People's Army had fewer than 8 men. Furthermore, the fighting had been prolonged, the troops were exhausted, the battle lines were stretched, and casualties were substantial.

It can be said that the Korean War was deadlocked here.

After the border defense meeting, Wei Hongjun reported to the Chairman.

Send an observation group to investigate the situation in North Korea and improve the map in hand so that the troops will not encounter any problems after entering North Korea. The Chairman agreed with Wei Hongjun's proposal, but did not agree to send an observation group in the name of the military attaché stationed in North Korea. Instead, he sent troops from all over the border defense forces in the name of the military attaché stationed in North Korea.

The troops were mobilized, mainly from the Corps and various army staffs, including some chiefs of staff at the division level. A total of more than a dozen people were selected to go to Korea.

The Chairman personally sent a telegram to Jinricheng to inform them of the matter.

North Korea agreed.

Wei Hongjun transferred cadres from the 13th and 20th Corps to North Korea.

The changes in the situation on the Korean Peninsula affected the situation in the entire Far East. In Vietnam, Chen Geng helped the North Vietnamese train their troops and served as the head of the advisory group to command the North Vietnamese troops in battle against the French army.

General Peng’s pressure in the southwest suddenly increased.

One is that the rebel forces in Tibet are once again stirring up trouble and want to promote Tibetan independence. Then the remnants of the Kuomintang in the Golden Triangle and the bandits in the southwest who have not been completely eliminated have received orders from Taiwan and started to become active again.

to cause destruction and affect stability.

There are also those ethnic minority tribes in the southwest.

Originally, relations between the new China and these southwestern ethnic minority tribes were improving, and these ethnic minority tribes had begun to accept the new China's reforms. Unexpectedly, after the Taiwanese spies became active, they have been undermining the relationship between the new government and these ethnic minority tribes.

Of course, this is not just the case with General Peng.

The East China Bureau also felt the pressure.

Merchants of all sizes in East China's cities, as well as many long-established local families and rural landlords, were dissatisfied with New China's fiscal policies and land reform policies. However, due to the sheer size of New China, they dared not resist.

But the situation is very good now.”

The United States, the big brother of the free world and a long-time supporter of Chiang Kai-shek, is about to take action. Many people are starting to bet against the United States and, in turn, Chiang Kai-shek.

The task of suppressing spies and counter-revolutionaries is very heavy.

Marshal Nie gave suggestions to the Central Committee.

In areas where the task of "suppressing spies and counter-revolutionaries" is currently heavy, people's courts should be established as soon as possible at the county level. Although New China currently has a Supreme Court, people's courts are also established below it.

However, most counties currently do not have formal people's courts.

the reason is simple.

There is a lack of people, especially cadres who understand the law.

Therefore, in many places in New China, the People's Court has not been established after reaching the city level. Many legal issues at the county level are coordinated and handled by the Public Security Bureau. Even if there is a People's Court, there is no actual People's Court.

This means that we should first train a group of judicial cadres and then popularize people's courts at the county level.

However, as the activities of spies became rampant, some people were bewitched by them and began to engage in counter-revolutionary activities.

The central government is ready to strike hard.

But this is not a wartime era. During a war, arresting and shooting someone would not cause much noise. Now that the People's Republic of China has been established for more than two years, we must be more careful in this regard and not cause a big disturbance. So even if we are suppressing spies and counter-revolutionaries, we must

After formal judicial procedures.

That's why Marshal Nie made this suggestion.

A group of cadres should be dispatched to areas where spies are active to establish people's courts. Only with people's courts at the county level can those spies and counter-revolutionaries be tried as quickly as possible and the local situation stabilized.

The Central Committee approved Marshal Nie’s proposal.

A group of experienced cadres will be selected from across the country, along with a group of graduates from professional schools, to go to the county level to set up county-level people's courts.

By this time, the Premier had returned from the Soviet Union, and Marshal Lin once again headed the Chinese delegation. In Moscow, Marshal Lin exchanged views with the Premier and clearly expressed his opposition to sending troops to North Korea. Although Marshal Lin saw the Chairman's attitude, he did not conceal his own views.

The Premier said he would convey Marshal Lin's opinions to the Chairman and the Central Committee.

Although Marshal Lin was against sending troops, he would not delay his work. As the representative of the Central Committee and the Military Commission, Marshal Lin needed to communicate with the Soviet Union during the Korean War. As a result of the negotiations between the Prime Minister and the Soviet Union, Stalin vowed that if the situation was really unfavorable,

If China needs to send troops, the Soviet Union will definitely send its air force to support the Chinese army, so that China can rest assured.

Including supporting the further development of the Chinese military.

They were willing to provide China with 800 fighter planes, 400 tanks, equipment for 10 anti-aircraft artillery regiments, and five divisions equipped with Soviet weapons. The equipment for these five divisions was to be provided entirely in accordance with Soviet troop configurations.

Of course there's more to it than that.

The Soviet Union also promised to sell China 2 trucks, as well as sufficient aviation oil and gasoline, and to send more air force instructors and Soviet-equipped unit instructors to help China train its air force and Soviet-equipped units.

Overall, the Soviet Union showed great support.

At this time, the Chairman convened a military meeting on the Korean issue. This was a military meeting specifically for the Korean issue, attended by the Chairman and the Prime Minister, and chaired by Wei Hongjun. Vice Chairman of the Military Commission He Laozong, Chief of the General Staff Yang Quanwu, Director of the General Logistics Department Zhao Lu, Commander of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army

Commander Deng Guo and Political Commissar Xiahou Wen, Commander Zheng Weishan and Political Commissar Zhu Liangcai of the North China Frontier Defense Army.

"Chairman, our General Staff has deduced that according to the current situation of the Korean War, the enemy is likely to land in Incheon, Wonsan, Nampo, etc., with Incheon being the most likely landing point. At present, the Korean People's Army appears to be in high spirits, but the real situation is very

The Korean People's Army is currently stretched out on the front line and is stuck in a dilemma in Busan. In addition, the People's Army is short of manpower, and the situation is actually very bad. If the enemy really lands in Inchon and cuts off the People's Army, then the People's Army will inevitably be defeated.

A successful retreat would be difficult.

The Operations Bureau of the Operations Department of the General Staff conducts simulations of the Korean War every day.

The General Staff is composed entirely of battle-hardened generals. These men have fought in countless battles over the years and are no ordinary strategic experts.

They study and analyze the Korean War every day.

The landing site of the UN forces has been accurately traced. At present, the daily work of the Military Commission is handled by General He, but when there are important matters and the Military Commission meetings are held, they are chaired by the Premier.

Historically, the report on the Inchon landing was made by the Prime Minister and his military secretary, Comrade Lei Tingchen. However, in this time and space, the Korean issue is under the responsibility of Wei Hongjun, so it was Wei Hongjun who reported to the Military Commission.
