    The "Geoje Island Incident" shocked the world.  The armed prisoners of war occupied the US military radio station almost immediately and used it to contact the Volunteer Army headquarters.  Then, with the help of professional and technical personnel, he issued a broadcast to the world, denouncing the atrocities that occurred in the Geoje Island prisoner of war camp.  For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.  The Soviet representative to the United Nations immediately lodged a protest with the UN General Assembly, demanding strong condemnation of this inhumane act.  The U.S. representative said: This is just the individual behavior of a small group of bad soldiers and does not represent the entire U.S. military.  The representative of Taiwan said: "This is simply the false propaganda of the 'Red Bandits'!" In the United Kingdom and France, large-scale demonstrations broke out in major cities, demanding that the government immediately withdraw its troops from North Korea.  The marchers held up slogans "We cannot become neo-fascist allies!" East Germany and West Germany also issued statements almost at the same time, "It seems that Auschwitz has been moved to North Korea by the Americans and their allies named Chiang Kai-shek." International  The Red Cross representative to the United Nations also stated that they have been in contact with Beijing, and both parties have jointly sent people to North Korea to investigate and resolve the prisoner of war incident.  "Just when world public opinion is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the United States, Congressman McCarthy once again exploited his virtue of speaking without shocking and never ending.  On the afternoon of the second day after the incident broke out, McCarthy declared in a public speech, "This is how we should treat those Red gangsters!" He also said, "All prisoner of war camps in the world are unclean!" "Everything is unclean!  Those who condemn the United States, their government has been occupied by red elements!" These remarks once again pushed the United States to the forefront. Churchill complained in a public broadcast, "It seems that Hitler did not die, but ran to the United States."  General de Gaulle also published an editorial in "Le Soir Fran?aise": "The Nazis have been resurrected in the United States." On the third day after the incident broke out, a group of Red Cross representatives and reporters from neutral countries came to North Korea.  In the Bitong prisoner-of-war camp, in front of reporters' cameras, 21 American prisoners of war and one British prisoner of war publicly stood up and issued a statement, expressing their willingness to stay in China after the war.  When a reporter asked whether they had been tortured and brainwashed in prisoner-of-war camps, all prisoners of war said there was absolutely no such thing.  Some prisoners of war even took off their shirts despite the cold and showed their bodies to the public. Some prisoners of war even continued to take off their pants in public. Thanks to a young guard who rushed out to stop them, the restricted scenes were avoided.  The delegation inspected Bitong for two days. Two days later, except for a small number of Red Letter Society personnel and reporters who stayed, the remaining people took the train all the way south and went straight to Panmunjom.  Traveling with them, in addition to several leaders of the volunteer army, were Zhang Zhenhua, who had just returned from China, and several coalition prisoner of war representatives.  When the leader ordered Zhang Zhenhua to take the prisoner of war representatives south with the group, Zhang Zhenhua wondered: "Why do I still have something to do here?" Du Ping, director of the Political Department, said: "Why doesn't it matter to you? Those who are in front of so many people  Didn¡¯t all the prisoners of war who were about to take off their pants in front of you learn it from you?¡± Zhang Zhenhua said: ¡°Isn¡¯t that to prove the innocence of our volunteers?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I already stop him?¡±  He said, "That's why I let you lead the team so that you can keep an eye on them and don't cause any more embarrassing things." Zhang Zhenhua suddenly remembered something, "Chief, what if some prisoners of war are unwilling to return to China or go to Taiwan?  "Du Ping was stunned, "What do you mean?" Zhang Zhenhua smiled and whispered something in a low voice.  Du Ping was startled and said hurriedly: "This matter is of great importance. I have to ask Shiji or even the chairman for instructions before he can make a decision. You are not allowed to act rashly before getting a reply from your superiors!" "Yes! Chief, I understand." Tokyo, United Nations  Military Headquarters.  Li Qiwei looked at the man in front of him with disgust.  He is the special envoy sent by Taiwan to deal with this incident, and the initiator of the "repatriation screening" plan, Lai Mingtang, director of the Second Department of Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense.  If it weren't for his bad idea, he, the coalition forces and even the United States would not be in such an embarrassing situation.  Currently, the coalition is represented by Britain and France, and countries such as Australia, Canada, and Belgium have expressed their intention to withdraw their troops.  Although the combined military strength of these countries is not as large as that of the US military, their impact is huge.  There was silence in the room, and only the "tick" sound from the clock could be heard. Lai Mingtang felt that his face had been laughing so hard that he lost consciousness.  He knew in his heart that he was completely taking the blame for President Chiang.  Originally, according to his intention, if this plan was implemented well, the effect would be good.  Unexpectedly, the "red bandits" dared to resist when surrounded by a large army. They also obtained guns from unknown sources and took a large number of hostages.  Now, they failed to catch the fox and instead made a fuss. Not only did they lose hundreds of agents, they also greatly damaged the party-state's international image.    ¡°When¡ª¡ª¡± A bell broke the silence in the room.  Lai Mingtang cleared his throat and tentatively said: "General Li Qiwei, now that the matter has happened, we must find a way to make up for it as the top priority." Li Qiwei let out a slight "hum", "How to make up for it? Now the international community has noticed us.  Even some U.S. allies publicly accused us of this being a Nazi act, not to mention the reaction from the Soviet Union. "As far as I know, the Communist Army has never been a good person," Lai Mingtang said.  Have you signed an agreement with them? Then they will definitely let down their guard. As soon as our people come back, will we have the final say? " "What if they don't release them and disarm them?" "Then they do it on purpose?  If we break the agreement, we can use legitimate means to suppress them." Li Qiwei's eyes narrowed. "What about the hostages?" "Bang!"  He couldn't bear it and said: "Do you think we in the United States are the same as you? Now I finally understand why you were defeated by Mao." At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the secretary came in and said: "General, International  Representatives of the Red Cross and reporters from various countries have already arrived in Tokyo. They asked us to arrange for them to go to Geoje Island immediately. "I know, we will arrange for them to rest for one night and leave tomorrow." After that, Li Qiwei waved his hand to the secretary.  Lai Mingtang said: "General, do you really want them to go? You can tell them that it is not safe there yet." Li Qiwei rolled his eyes at him, "The Red Cross is assigned a mission by the Geneva Convention. They have  The right and obligation to visit detainees in international conflicts and provide them with humanitarian assistance. Mr. Lai, as one of the parties to this incident, your people will also go with them tomorrow. What should you do?  Clearly. In short, don't let the coalition face any more embarrassment. Otherwise, I will ask Washington to stop all your activities in North Korea." Coming out of the coalition headquarters, Lai Mingtang sighed, "It's hard to take the blame.  !¡± The next day, the Red Cross representatives and reporters departed from Tokyo, flew to Busan, and then took a boat to Geoje Island.  When everyone arrived at the dock and was about to board the ship, they heard someone behind them say, "Why didn't you wait for us?" Everyone looked back and saw that it was the representatives of the Red Cross who were heading to Bitong Prisoner of War Camp.  After the two parties met, Dr. Muller, the team leader on the Tokyo side, said: "We thought it would take a few days for you to arrive." Mrs. Monica, the team leader on the Bitong side, said: "The situation in the Chinese prisoner-of-war camp is better than ours.  It was much better to imagine, so we came earlier. And we were also worried about the safety of the prisoners of war on Geoje Island." Mueller saw that there were several Chinese and North Korean military personnel on the other side, "Are they going too?" "Yes."  Mrs. Monica said: "Their soldiers suffered like that in the prisoner of war camp. Of course they have to send representatives to take a look." "Maybe there is no such thing at all." A voice came from behind the crowd.  Everyone looked back and saw a Chinese man dressed as a reporter.  Mrs. Monica frowned, "Who is this gentleman?" Mueller said: "He is a reporter from the Central Daily News, Mr. Yang Yi." "Yangmei? Oh, that's not easy to treat." Here  Zhang Zhenhua said in Chinese with a wicked smile.  All the Chinese people present or those who could understand Chinese were stunned at first, and then almost laughed. Yang Yi was so angry that he gritted his teeth.  Mrs. Monica asked the translator next to her strangely, "What are they laughing at?" The translator suppressed a smile and explained to Mrs. Monica. Mrs. Monica shook her head and persuaded: "Young man, it's not okay to joke with other people's names."  Gentleman's style." Zhang Zhenhua didn't care at all, "Madam, I just expressed my dissatisfaction with this reporter's suspicion. I believe this highly educated gentleman will not mind, right?"  Yi groaned and turned her head away.  Then Zhang Zhenhua said: "However, I think his suspicion is entirely based on preconceived prejudices based on his political stance." Mrs. Monica nodded, "I completely agree with you. This gentleman, in  Before reaching a formal conclusion, please do not make such remarks." Mueller shook his head and saw two foreigners wearing Chinese military uniforms here, and asked: "Mrs. Monica, who are they?"  "They are coalition military doctors in Chinese prisoner-of-war camps. They voluntarily came to Panmunjeom in order to prove to the world that China fully abides by the Geneva Conventions during the war, and in order to show the Chinese people who were mistreated on Geoje Island."The prisoners apologized and joined our rescue team.  "Zhang Zhenhua saw that Yang Yi still wanted to say something, so he reminded him: "Reporter Yang, if you have any doubts, it's best not to say it first.  Otherwise, what awaits you will no longer be as simple as a joke.  "
