The real objective of their journey, however, was to confer in Peiping with a secret emissary of General Malenkov. The Soviet envoy and the three Koreans discussed measures for the inclusion of Korea in an overland communications route from Turkestan to Vladivostok via Manchuria:. Since no definite conclusions could be form ulated at the Peiping meeting, the Soviet representative accompanied the Koreans back to Pyongyang in early October to negotiate directly with KIM Il-sdng. The result of the Pyongyang session was that Korean authorities agreed to let the USSR use Wonsan (127-26, 39-10)* and several air bases0 a conference on Soviet military aid to North Korea' 50X1-HUM was held in Changchun. Through the Soviet ambassador to North Korea, Shtikov, word was passed to KIM Il-song that Molotov was in Changchun, staying at t150)(1 -HUM Ta-Ho (X._ 447) Hotel opposite the railway station, and was willing to discuss Korean problems with him.** KIM left Pyongyang by air are' returned In Changchun, he discussed with Molotov the need o 50X1-HUM additional aid to North Korea, particularly in weapons and naval vessels Molotov agreed in principle, but stated that the matter would have to be re 50X1-HUM ferred to Moscow for final decision. .Upon his return to Pyongyang, however, KIM Il-ang ordered the North Korean Minister of Dsfense to reorganize naval plans for the country.
