Fleeing from Seoul
On the morning of June 25th, the weather in Seoul was clear after the rain. On Sunday, the city scenery was the same as yesterday. At ten o'clock, a military jeep suddenly appeared on the street. The military police shouted through the horn on the car,"Soldiers of the national army, return to your troops immediately!"
After the jeep disappeared, a truck carrying soldiers and towed artillery sped through the streets. The citizens of Seoul began to speculate, perhaps something had happened at the border? The newspaper from Seoul began to spread the news: The North Korean army began to invade south from the 38th parallel at dawn today. Our army immediately engaged the enemy and is now repelling them.
The citizens of Seoul began to cheer for the military vehicles and military transport buses that had been requisitioned. They absolutely believed what the government had said repeatedly: Once the war broke out, they would immediately occupy the city and unify the entire north in a short period of time.
However, when the citizens heard the sound of a plane overhead, they looked up and saw the North Korean People's Army logo on the plane. The flyers dropped by the plane read,"The South Korean army is attacking the north with the support of the US imperialists, and the northern army will give a resolute counterattack."
At eleven o'clock, the announcement on the Korean radio station was: " Wengjin area, destroyed 7 enemy tanks, seized 72 submachine guns, 132 rifles, 7 machine guns, 5 cannons, wiped out an enemy battalion... A commander of the army surrendered with his army..."
It was also 11 o'clock when the North Korean radio station announced,""The rogue rebels ordered the puppet army to invade the north. The people's army began to defend themselves and attack the south. ** The gang will be arrested and sentenced..."
At night, the citizens of Seoul stayed up all night.
The most reliable news came from the wounded soldiers who came down from the front line. The wounded soldiers could not tell the whole picture of the battle, but they all said in unison, Tanks! The tanks in the north were amazing! We don't have tanks!
At dawn on June 26th, the citizens of Seoul heard the sound of artillery and saw a large number of refugees fleeing from the northern direction of the Uijeongbu government. The North Korean People's Army planes flew over to Seoul again and strafed the presidential palace. A South Korean Air Force pilot piloted a trainer plane into the air. Under the watchful eyes of the entire city, the unarmed body collided with the North Korean plane.
However, the military's announcement read: The first division of the national army had already advanced 20 kilometers north from the 38th parallel!
Was the South Korean army not far from Chaoyang? Or is the North Korean army not far from Seoul?
Everyone in Han City was at a loss, and the whole city had a strange atmosphere.
At this moment, there was only one person in Seoul who was very clear about the situation. He was the South Korean President.
When the North Korean plane fired at the presidential residence known as the Blue Palace, the only thought in the panicked police's mind was to escape.
He called for the American ambassador to South Korea, John Mujo.
John Mujo was forty-seven years old at the time. He was a veteran diplomat who had spent most of his diplomatic career in the Far East and the Latin-American region. Professional American soldiers looked down on these gentle and refined ambassadors the most. The military called them a group of " naked cookie peddlers."
However, Mu Qiao was different from most of the cookie sellers. He had a good relationship with the military. It was not because he often drank with some junior officers, but because he had a " manly temperament " that ordinary diplomacy did not have.
As soon as he took up his post in South Korea, he had a conflict with the Tang army. The reason was that Mu Qiao was firmly standing on the side of the US military, trying to seize some of the power in the hands of the Tang army in order to better control the South Korean army. Mu Qiao's evaluation of the woman was 'nitpicking and moody.'
Accompanied by South Korea's Acting Minister of Defense, Shin Son Mo, Mu Qiao met with the government. ** The first thing he said when he saw Mu Qiao was,"Mr. Ambassador, I have to leave Seoul as soon as possible.”
"Why?" Mu Qiao asked in shock.”Mu Qiao had never expected that the president of a country would be so cowardly in times of national crisis.
"I'm the head of the country. If I fall into the hands of North Korea, it will be a disaster for the unification of North Korea. I think it's better for me to leave Han City."
This guy was scared out of his wits.
In order to make the president stay, Mu Qiao knew that the South Korean army was on the road to escape, and some of them had even been completely wiped out, but he still said carelessly,"The South Korean army is fighting very well. If the president stayed in Seoul, it would motivate the troops. If the president escapes and the news spreads, there won't be a single South Korean soldier to resist the North Korean attack. The entire South Korean army will collapse without a fight."
But the police insisted on leaving. Mu Qiao was extremely disgusted. He said,"Alright, Mr. President. If you want to leave, then leave. It's up to you.”
The police were intimidated by Mu Qiao's tough attitude and pitifully expressed that he could stay the night.
As soon as Mu Qiao left, the police immediately ordered the Minister of Transportation to prepare a special train.
The news of the president's escape first reached the members of the National Assembly. The parliament members accused the government of abandoning the North Korean people. However, there were also some members of parliament who believed that if the president was captured, then Han would no longer exist. For this reason, the National Assembly voted after a few hours of debate. Most of the members advocated that the president stay in Seoul and be with the people.
However, in the early morning of the 27th, the government, his family, and a few personal aides fled from Korea in a special train in the dark of the night less than 50 hours after the war broke out. He didn't dare to inform Ambassador Mu Qiao before he left.
The next day, Mu Qiao found out that the Chinese government had left Korea.
