cans, while actively engaged in spying and
carrying out a policy of an advance in the
course of the negotiations, are trying to drag
out the negotiations.
The main question in the negotiations is
the determination of the demarcation line. In
place of the demand for designation of the
demarcation line deep in the rear of our
troops, the enemy has proposed to designate
it on the basis of the present line of the front,
with some alterations and with the inclusion
of the region of Kaesong in the buffer zone.
At present the enemy is already de-
manding the designation of the line in fact
contiguous with the line of the troops at the
time of the signing of an agreement on cessa-
tion of military operations as the demarca-
tion line without the inclusion of the region
of Kaesong in the buffer zone. We are
insisting on the cessation of military opera-

Comrade FILIPPOV!
In my telegram to you of 27.8 of this
year I communicated to you that we intend to
ask the Soviet Government to send its mili-
tary advisers for work among the troops of
the Chinese volunteers in Korea.
After studying this question and con-
sulting with the Main Military Adviser Com-
rade Krasovsky, we consider that it is neces-
sary to invite 83 advisers:
1. Advisers for the staff of the volunteer
troops: in all nine persons, including: Main
adviser - 1, adviser of the chief of staff - 1,
adviser on operational questions - 1, adviser
on intelligence - 1, adviser on communica-
tions - 1, adviser on the rear - 1, adviser on
VOSO [voennye soobshcheniie, military
communications] -1, adviser on artillery - 1,
adviser on tanks and self-propelled guns
[samokhodnym ustanovkam] -1, adviser on
engineering matters - 1.
2. Advisers for the five armies: in all 10
persons. Two advisers to each army, specifi-
cally: adviser of the command of the army
and jointly adviser of the chief of staff of the
army -1, adviser on operational questions -1.
3. Advisers for twenty one corps: in all
83 persons. Three persons in each corps,
specifically: adviser of the command of the
corps and jointly adviser of the chief of staff
- 1, adviser on artillery -1, adviser on tanks
and self-propelled guns -1. It is hoped that
the aforementioned advisers be sent to Korea
through Beijing in September and October
1951.
I ask you to study this question and
communicate your decision.
With greetings.

To Comrade KRASOVSKY
for Comrade Mao Zedong
“Comrade Mao Zedong!
We have received your telegram of 8
September.
We agree to send a main military adviser
and a group of military specialists as military
advisers attached to the staff of the Volunteer
troops in Korea.
We consider it advisable to resolve the
question of sending military advisers to the
armies and corps after the main military
adviser familiarizes himself with the situa-
tion on location and presents his consider-
ations on this question.
As main military adviser for the staff of
the Volunteer troops in Korea we could send
General of the Army Zakharov.
ther strengthening of the campaign to aid
Korea and struggle against American impe-
rialism, for the purpose of ensuring the fur-
ther conduct of the war in Korea, securing
also by financial means the stabilization of
the scene within the country, and also
strengthening state construction and mainly
construction of defense.
In the present year, in light of rendering
aid to Korea and the struggle against Ameri-
can imperialism, the budget of the Chinese
state in comparison with 1950 has increased
by 60%. 32% of the total budget is directly
being used in the Korean theater of military
operations. (Military credit extended to us
by the Soviet Government is not included in
this calculation.)
Thus, if a regime of economizing is not
introduced now, in the next year the budget
will increase even more, which inevitably
will have an influence on finances and lead to
a great rise in the prices of goods, which in
turn will create difficulties at the front, and
also in the area of construction in the rear. It
is true that achieving peace as a result of the
negotiations is advantageous for us, but we
also are not afraid of dragging out the nego-
tiations. Acting thus, we will surely be able
to achieve victory. At the same time we will
be able successfully to carry out various
measures within the country and secure sta-
bilization and further development in the
area of politics and the economy.
I ask your instructions on the above.
