Chapter 127 We're like a pack of hounds, hunting for clues

Once President Truman made up his mind, he took action. Due to the face, I can't express it directly, so I have to "sneak peeks" at China.What kind of "eyes" to send? In the words of Song Dandan, "To send a glance is to send autumn spinach." ——Truman stepped up to the stage in person and directly shouted to China that we, the United States, do not want to expand military operations such as "attacking mainland China". This is tantamount to telling China in a roundabout way: Hey man, let's stop beating, my face is swollen, let's talk. — Use the United Nations.The Americans instructed the top leader of the United Nations, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Lie, to express the attitude of the United Nations: a ceasefire at the 38th parallel is in line with the wishes of the United Nations, so stop fighting.

The United Nations has expressed its position, which means that the United States has expressed its position. - Using a third party - the Soviet Union.The Americans also privately contacted Malik, the permanent representative of the Soviet Union to the United Nations, through Kennan, an adviser to the US State Department who was a "Soviet Communication", expressing the US's willingness to have peace talks. ——The anxious Marshall even used the editor-in-chief of a newspaper to directly communicate with Mao Zedong's distant relatives, telling the Chinese people the attitude of the United States clearly.

The activism of the United States, with its vivid and efficient actions, conveyed to the Chinese leaders the message that the United States wants peace talks.In the words of Acheson's memoirs - we are like a pack of hounds, looking for clues everywhere.
