In June 1950, the Korean War broke out. Soon, China decided to form a volunteer army, crossed the Yalu River, and put up a heroic resistance. After three years of arduous fighting, we succeeded in driving the aggressors out of the Korean Peninsula, not only defending the sovereignty of the DPRK, but also creating a strong image of New China in the international community.
However, in"Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea"Previously, there had been heated discussions with other leaders on whether to send troops. In these discussions, ** had the discernment to see the traps that Stalin had set in this war.
So, how did you see through Stalin's trap? What kind of trap did Stalin set? And how did *** cleverly crack these traps?
Next, let's unveil that great history together.
1.After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States united with other countries to form the "United **", which was pushed back to Pusan despite the stubborn resistance of the Korean People's Army.
However, the U.S. "Inchon landing" reversed the situation, and the subsequent U.S. military continued provocations on the Sino-North Korean border, seriously threatening China's territorial sovereignty and people's security.
In order to protect the country and the people, ** decided to send troops to North Korea. However, he later discovered that this was a trap set by Stalin. 2.After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States and several countries formed a "joint **", and although the Korean People's Army put up stubborn resistance, it was still pushed back to Busan.
Immediately afterwards, the United States used the "Inchon landing" to reverse the situation. At this time, the US military continued to provoke on the border between China and the DPRK, seriously threatening China's territorial sovereignty and people's security.
In order to protect the motherland and the people, ** decided to send troops to the DPRK. But he later found out that this was a trap set by Stalin. 3.After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States and other countries formed the "United **", which was driven back to Pusan, despite the stubborn resistance of the Korean People's Army.
The U.S. "Inchon landing" reversed the situation, and then the U.S. military continued to provoke along the Sino-DPRK border, seriously threatening China's territorial sovereignty and people's security. For the sake of the security of the country and the people, it was decided to send troops to North Korea.
But he later found out that it was a trap set by Stalin. 4.After the outbreak of the Korean War, the United States and other countries formed the "United **", which was pushed back to Pusan despite the stubborn resistance of the Korean People's Army.
The United States reversed the situation by using the "Inchon landings," and then the US military continued to provoke on the Sino-DPRK border, seriously threatening China's territorial sovereignty and people's security. In order to protect the motherland and the people, ** decided to send troops to the DPRK.
But he later found out that this was a trap set by Stalin.
At the outbreak of the Korean War, Stalin received a request for help from Kim Il Sung, hoping that he would send troops to help Korea, but Stalin rejected his request out of caution.
Because it was the time of the United States and the Soviet Union"Cold War"During this period, once Stalin sent troops, it would undoubtedly provoke the fuse of war, rupture the original appearance of peace, and declare war on the United States.
According to the military strength of the United States and the Soviet Union at that time, once this war broke out, it could escalate into a third world war, which would have a disastrous impact on both sides.
However, if no action is taken, the entire Korean Peninsula could be controlled by the United States, eventually leading to North Korea becoming a puppet state of capitalism. Therefore, Stalin, after weighing the pros and cons, chose to remain silent, not because he was unwilling to help Kim Il Sung, but out of respect for and preservation of global peace.
** may upset the balance between society and capital, and is not conducive to the implementation of socialist policies. However, China is adjacent to the Korean Peninsula, and if the war expands, it will inevitably pose a threat to China's homeland security.
Therefore, China will definitely participate in the war for the safety of its citizens, so that the Soviet Union can reap the benefits. Moreover, at that time, there were already some cracks in the relationship between Stalin and ***, and he hoped that by thwarting the momentum of ***, China would be completely subjugated to the Soviet Union.
Chairman Stalin insisted on his belief in independence and self-determination, and he hated any form of foreign interference, even from allies. When the Soviet Union tried to get its hands on China, he righteously expressed his displeasure.
However, this infuriated the Soviet pride as a "big brother", who felt that they had the right to discipline the younger brother. As a result, Stalin took a series of repressive measures against the chairman.
However, the chairman's determination was as firm as a rock, and he insisted on taking back the autonomy of the ports of Lushun and Dalian, as well as the autonomy of the Northeast Zhongchang Railway, which was the "meat of the heart" of the Soviet Union.
Stalin could not accept the challenge of the chairman in any case, and his interests were threatened.
In the process of fighting for national sovereignty, leaders such as ** and *** entered into challenging and stressful negotiations with Stalin. Despite Stalin's arrogant attitude, ***, with excellent negotiation skills, he finally signed the Sino-Soviet Treaty of Friendship, Alliance and Mutual Assistance, and succeeded in regaining some sovereignty.
For Stalin, the treaty deprived him of control over the Chinese seaports and the opportunity to interfere in China's internal affairs, which made him very unhappy. So he tried to find an opportunity to take revenge on the president, and the Korean War became the perfect stage for him to carry out this plan.
Stalin turned his focus to the Korean Peninsula as Kim Il Sung sought to regain territorial control of South Korea, and Stalin intended to establish more bases on the peninsula and gain military administration.
Whatever the outcome, it will be difficult for China to stay out of the war once it expands, but China's strength is relatively weak, and it will undoubtedly suffer a heavy blow if it enters the war. Stalin saw this opportunity and tried to take advantage of China.
This seemingly profitable and unloseable deal has even been noticed by the chairman of Zhongnanhai.
During the Korean Civil War, ** advised Kim Il Sung not to rush into action, stressing that Soviet military support could not be used as capital to wage war. However, Kim Il Sung was so anxious that he still accepted ** aid from the Soviet Union.
When the joint ** team landed on the Korean Peninsula, Kim Il Sung was in a difficult situation. He turned to Stalin for help, but Stalin was unwilling to make a loss-making deal and pushed the problem to ***
** Deeply troubled by this, he knew that this was a trap of Stalin. Either you will fight with your back and there will be no way back, or you will lose the sovereignty of the country that has just been recovered.
** Discerning, seeing through Stalin's trap, repeatedly weighing between sending troops and not sending troops. Other leaders were puzzled by this and advocated no war, arguing that China needed money and manpower, and that war was the most expensive and therefore could not be warned.
So, in the face of Stalin's trap, how did you deal with it? During his request for help and his decision to send troops, he had four in-depth discussions before reaching a conclusion.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chairman ** focused his work on restoring production and developing the economy, and a large-scale war was not in his consideration. Although he had made it clear that he wanted to participate in the Korean War, the telegram of this instruction was not sent due to differences of opinion within him.
In order to reassure the people, the chairman published an article on the front page of the "People", emphasizing that the war is over and the days of human suffering are over. However, the outbreak of the Korean War disrupted the plans of the chairman, and it seemed that he did not have much interest in this war.
When Stalin first started the civil war on the Korean Peninsula, he warned Kim Il Sung to be on guard"The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits"。However, Kim Il Sung did not take the suggestion and did not realize the seriousness of the problem until the US troops landed in Incheon.
At this point, he had no time to turn the situation around, so he turned to the Soviet Union for help. At the same time, ** also noted the expansion of the Korean War, and sent small units to survey the military terrain.
However, the Soviet Union rejected Kim Il Sung's request and agreed only to provide basic material assistance, leaving the task of direct confrontation with the US military to China. Stalin also wrote a letter to *** suggesting that the People's Volunteers should send troops to aid the DPRK, because the DPRK had a special relationship with the new China.
Stalin assured *** that if China sent troops, the Soviet Union would act as China's backing, providing force and material support. At the same time, Stalin also issued some warnings that if China did not send troops, the United States might occupy the entire Korean Peninsula, and Japan would become strong as a result, posing a threat to the security of the new China.
It is impossible not to see this kind of method of flattering and threatening. He saw not only that, but also the attempts of the USSR. Therefore, the moment he received the letter, he began to hesitate whether he should send troops or not.
When Stalin's letter and Kim Il-sung's letter were placed on the desk at the same time, the white paper was full of military maps and plans for sending troops. After careful consideration, it was decided to send troops, and a telegram was drafted on October 2, but the conditions that the USSR had to fulfill, otherwise China had the right to withdraw from the war.
This was the first time that the decision was made to send troops to aid North Korea, but at the leaders' meeting in the afternoon, the order was withdrawn because there were big differences of opinion on sending troops. On October 8, when many people failed to perceive Stalin's trap, they voted against ***'s decision.
Stalin was fortunate to have the full support of *** for his decision, and promised that if he sent troops to aid Korea, he would definitely achieve victory. After *** analysis and *** assurance, the others agreed to the plan to send troops.
As a result, ** immediately issued an order to form a Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Before the chairman's order, work began on the formation of the army, and on the day of the order, he flew to the USSR to meet Stalin.
** The purpose was to discuss the terms of assistance again, but Stalin suddenly changed his mind and changed his original promise to send the air force to protect the volunteers to protect the volunteers only in Chinese airspace.
Stalin was very angry at Stalin's reversal, but he had no choice but to return home with a belly of anger. Afterwards, ** learned that Stalin had changed his mind, and he was so angry that he wanted to resign from the post of commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army on the spot, and denounced Stalin's shamelessness, and finally calmed down under the persuasion of ***.
** I was also very helpless about this, so I had to withdraw the order to send troops to aid the DPRK and find a new solution. Then, ** held another important meeting, and after heated discussions, it was finally decided to send troops to aid the DPRK again.
This is because, at this time, the flames of war are already approaching the Yalu River, and if no more troops are dispatched, then China's territorial sovereignty and people's security will be threatened, which is very unfavorable to the growth of New China.
Stalin, after detailed strategic planning and material statistics, ordered the Volunteer Army to enter the battle on the 19th. However, he reversed course and disrupted ***'s plan. Stalin wanted to reduce the losses of the USSR as much as possible, and as a result, the conditions of assistance to China became more and more demanding.
This made *** reconsider whether he should go to war, so he discussed the plan with everyone again, and finally decided to send troops for the fourth time after careful consideration. Although the date of the fourth dispatch was the same as the third, it was a deliberate decision.
After four in-depth reflections by Stalin, the Chinese People's Volunteers finally embarked on a heroic battle journey and sounded the bloody war horn. As a result of this war, New China won respect and recognition in the international community and laid a solid foundation for breaking free from Soviet control.
So, what was Stalin's reaction when *** saw through Stalin's scheme? What is the international community's view of China's actions?
After experiencing the baptism of rebirth, ** saw through Stalin's conspiracy with wisdom, but Stalin was angry, but he also had to admire ***'s thoughtfulness.
Stalin tried to take advantage of the idea that China was bound to lose and persuade *** to send troops, so as to allow the Korean People's Army to enter China to rest and recuperate, and create chaos. If *** refuses to enter the war, he can also use it to make China pay a high price in exchange for Soviet aid when China's vitality is greatly damaged.
However, ** chose the strategy of "one punch open, one hundred punches to avoid", not only sent troops to aid North Korea, but also fought a beautiful turnaround battle under extreme conditions, winning global attention.
After the war, Stalin's attitude changed, and he began to respect and consider the demands of the *** for negotiations, promising to withdraw his troops from northeast China ahead of schedule.
China, which had exhausted its financial and material resources in the war, received selfless assistance from Stalin. He built factories in China, sent high-ranking personnel, allowed borrowing, and vigorously supported Chinese students to study in the Soviet Union.
These measures have undoubtedly provided tremendous support for the growth of New China, enabling it to successfully enter the door of industrialization. Despite the tensions between China and the Soviet Union in the later period, Stalin's influence on China was far-reaching.
For Stalin's help, ** deeply grateful, and in his own way reciprocate this kindness.
** The President's actions have sparked widespread international attention, although some have been critical of his actions as interference in the internal affairs of other countries or aggressive tendencies.
However, to a true observer, it is obvious who the aggressor is. ** once humorously said: "This person has always jumped his feet, always can't get used to China, only he has been insisting on smearing China, this kind of perseverance is really rare." ”
