not a bump. just realised why Kim would stop for a brief ceasefire however.
1. He wouldn't.
2. Mao would, however, want a buffer state and would gladly stop the war there.
3. Stalin would, on the other hand, have the growing paranoia of the Korean peninsula being overtaken by non-Communists.
so they would make this consensus:
I) Mao wanted a ceasefire so he would force Kim to agree with the
de facto ceasfire. However, he would help North Korea being resupplied militarily and allow Korean-Chinese to be conscripted into the KPA.
II) Kim would, after accepting the load of military supplies, need to plan a reconquest of OTL North Korean territory by either getting there or taking enough POWs to bring South Korea and the UN to the conference table.
III) Stalin could only give the weaponry and hope for the best. If he intervenes more, it could bring more US participation in the war.
and then some things will happen similar to OTL Vietnam war:
i) North Korea will attack during the Lunar New Year holiday season.
ii) During the battle, they will execute large number of civilians (and POWs).
and all goes according to my TL.
