that there was a threat of mass military resignations, much like happened in the DOJ during Trump's first term.

Trump doesn't take advice from anybody. He only responds to direct threats on himself and his grip on power. Perhaps China and others played some role, but most of that story sounds like bullshit to me. I predict we will start hearing some stories from inside the White House, but maybe not until Trump orders the Pentagon to leave the scene of the crimes.
