In June 1951, in the office of Zhongnanhai, ** sat opposite Li Kenong. ** Looking at this general who has contributed half his life to the intelligence front, he said bluntly: "Kenon, this time I personally ordered your general to go to North Korea as a representative of the army. ”
Although Li Kenong didn't understand why he wanted his military general to participate in the struggle at the negotiation table, he still accepted the appointment without hesitation.
And he didn't expect that his decision not to let Mr. Peng attend the negotiations after taking over the appointment of *** this time would make a great contribution to the North Korean negotiations.
After the incident, many cadres within our party lamented that Li Kenong was thoughtful and made great contributions to our country.
What is the magic of Li Kenong that can be favored by the chairman? Why didn't he let Mr. Peng attend the negotiation meeting?
Click to pay attention and walk into the story of Li Kenong's negotiations in North Korea.
Kenon people. Li Kenong has a very simple title in the party - "donkey". Li Kenong loved this title very much, and even said to his comrades: "I am our party's donkey, and I will carry as much as I can." In fact, judging by his experience, he was not wrong. During his revolutionary career, this cadre engaged in intelligence work always did his best to help the organization solve problems and did his best to do his best for the party and the people.
In September 1899, in Majia Lane in Wuhu, Anhui Province, Li Kenong fell to the ground. As the child of a ** employee, Li Kenong received a relatively good education when he was a child.
When he was in middle school, Li Kenong attended Shengya Church High School, which was an extremely open-minded school. It is not only full of Western religious thought, but also one of the important birthplaces of modern Anhui revolutionary thought. In this school, Li Kenong was inspired by modern revolutionary ideas for the first time.
In 1918, Li Kenong, who was already married, was introduced by friends and joined the local non-a** group in Anhui. During this period, although Li Kenong had awakened to the consciousness of democracy and independence, he had not really found a path suitable for China's development.
In 1919, the "May Fourth Movement" broke out, and Li Kenong, who was confused, began to come into contact with Marxist-Leninist thought. After taking the initiative to join the wave of the May Fourth Movement, Li Kenong's understanding of Marxism-Leninism became more and more profound. In the process, he participated many times in leading the people to fight against the people. In 1926, Li Kenong, who had already found the direction of China's future development in the democratic movement, joined China.
Not long after joining, the organization arranged for him to join the Kuomintang and serve as a member of the Wuhu Propaganda Committee of the Kuomintang. After that, under the instructions of the party organization, he established contacts with the local youth gang organization. This experience laid the groundwork for him to grow into a long-term fighter on the intelligence front.
In 1927, the Northern Expedition failed, and Chiang Kai-shek began to carry out a massacre across the country. Li Kenong learned the news in advance and successfully transferred himself and the members of the organization before the Anhui Kuomintang army attacked. After that, he secretly infiltrated Shanghai, and together with Pan Hannian, fought in the hidden front.
Later, under the arrangement of the party organization, the "Three Heroes of Longtan" all broke into the unlimited electricity administration bureau opened by the Central Union in Shanghai to secretly spy on the intelligence of the Kuomintang. Because of this relationship, Li Kenong began to have frequent contact with Teco.
In 1930, Li Kenong was officially assigned to the name of Tek and became a famous underground worker under the name of "Brigade Commander" Chen Geng. In 1931, Gu Shunzhang, the head of the special red team, defected. Fortunately, Qian Zhuangfei and Li Kenong cooperated with each other, and before the enemy launched a surprise attack, they notified the leaders of the party group in Shanghai overnight to carry out an emergency transfer.
In this incident, although our party organization still suffered heavy losses, it successfully preserved the possibility of the development of the party organization.
In 1932, Li Kenong followed a group of leaders to the Soviet area. As soon as he became the Soviet District, Li became the director of the First Military Security Bureau because of his outstanding work ability and rich experience, and was responsible for the safety of the lives of the party's senior leading cadres. During the subsequent struggle in the Soviet area, and even during the Long March, he always served as the security guard of the leaders. Under the protection of Li, the leaders were able to move unharmed to the Loess Plateau in northern Shaanxi under the pursuit of the enemy.
In 1937, in order to unite all domestic anti-Japanese forces, Zhang Xueliang launched a military admonition in Xi'an. In order to promote the final cooperation between the KMT and the Communist Party, our party sent a delegation headed by *** to Xi'an.
As the secretary general of the delegation, Li went to Xi'an with the premier and Ye Shuai. After the formal cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Li Kenong went to Nanjing again and took up the post of director of the Nanjing Office of the Eighth Route Army. After that, he successively served as secretary general of the Eighth Route Army Office in various localities, as well as deputy director of the Ministry of Social Affairs, deputy director of the Ministry of Intelligence, and secretary general of the Beiping Military Adjustment Office.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he was promoted to Minister of Intelligence and concurrently served as Vice Minister of Intelligence, as well as Minister of Intelligence of the Military Commission.
What kind of demeanor will such a party member and cadre, who has been fighting on the front line of intelligence operations for a long time and has participated in diplomatic activities many times, show on the battlefield in Korea?
The chair will not. ** Personally ordered Li Kenong to go to North Korea for negotiations, what kind of Chinese wisdom will he show at the negotiating table?
In fact, before *** personally ordered the general, this old cadre who had struggled for half his life in intelligence showed that he had already had serious physical problems. After several months of recuperation in the Soviet Union, the party organization allowed him to return to his homeland at his insistence. The reason why Li Kenong chose to return to the motherland was not because his illness had been cured, but because he could not let go of the Korean War in his heart. When the two armies are fighting, the most important thing is intelligence. Whether it is offensive or defensive, no matter what the command ability of the commander-in-chief is, it needs intelligence as support.
As an old man in an intelligence position, how could he watch the Korean War go on and remain indifferent. Therefore, while recuperating in the Soviet Union, he kept applying to return to China, and finally the party organization took the trouble to choose to agree.
In June 1951, ** personally met with Li Kenong in the Zhongnanhai office. In the face of this old friend and subordinate who is all too familiar, he bluntly said that the DPRK negotiations need Li Kenong to attend as a representative of the army. Without a moment's hesitation, Li Kenong agreed to the chairman.
But in fact, Li Kenong's physical condition at that time was still very bad, and he needed to take a large amount of drugs and morphine for pain relief every day. Because he was worried about the impact on his work, Li Kenong weighed it again and again, and finally reported it. **After reading the report, although I was very unbearable, I still insisted on my decision and sent Li Kenong to North Korea.
Why is *** so resolute, even if Li Kenong is ill, he wants him to go to North Korea to negotiate?
Naturally, it is because Li Kenong has a serious and responsible work attitude and excellent diplomatic ability.
Although Qiao Guanhua, a well-known Chinese diplomat, was included in the delegation, the top leader of the delegation was Li Kenong, who personally commanded and presided over the negotiations.
In early July 1951, the Chinese delegation arrived in Korea and met with Kim Il Sung. After the meeting, Li Kenong had a long talk with Kim Il Sung and held detailed consultations on the negotiation issue. In the end, an agreement was reached between China and the DPRK, and the negotiations were carried out on three fronts. As the head of the delegation, Li Kenong sat on the third line, communicated directly with Kim Il Sung and others, and received the highest instructions from both China and North Korea. The second line is headed by Qiao Guanhua and other famous diplomatic generals, who are responsible for liaison between the center. On the front line, the military leaders of China and North Korea personally negotiated with the enemy, and the representative of the Chinese side was General Deng Hua, who was then the deputy commander of the Chinese Volunteers.
Although General Lee was ill, he never neglected his work for the smooth progress of the negotiations between Korea. In order to prepare the relevant documents before the negotiation, he always consults with the front-line negotiators in advance. Together, they are familiar with all the materials needed for the negotiation, conduct a simulation of the negotiation together, carefully discuss the problems that exist, and strive to solve every possible problem.
After formulating a concrete plan for negotiations, he needs to convey it in writing to the North Korean side. After receiving the relevant reply from the Chinese and North Korean leaders, he also needs to implement these instructions in place.
During the dozens of negotiations between China and the United States, Li Kenong has been so hands-on.
It was because of the intense work that he had a condition in his lungs**. Many times, he would feel that he had difficulty breathing and his body was shaking. Later, it even caused complications of heart disease, which caused him to fall into a coma. Considering the safety of his life, Wu Xiuquan was dispatched to replace him. However, he insisted on working, saying that he had figured out the work and that the "temporary change of generals" would hinder the negotiation work. In the end, the party had to agree to his request, and he continued to preside over the negotiations in North Korea.
North Korean negotiations. ** Point General Li Kenong negotiated with North Korea, he insisted on working while seriously ill and won victory for our army in North Korea.
Unlike negotiations in other wars, the negotiations on the Korean battlefield lasted more than two years. The negotiation process was interrupted five times, and the two sides fought again. Even the venue of the negotiations has been changed twice. In the past two years, the two sides have held nearly 60 large-scale negotiation meetings and more than 700 small-scale meetings.
Such large-scale and protracted negotiations will be a big test for either side. In the process of negotiations, the US-led coalition has always appeared as a rogue. They always make unrealistic demands in meetings and try to prevent the negotiations from moving forward. After being beaten on the battlefield, they will take the initiative to engage in negotiations.
For these reasons, the negotiations were never able to reach an agreement. In particular, there are huge differences between China and the United States over the division of territory on the peninsula.
The U.S. side has always taken advantage of its superiority in the sea and air in the hope of making more political gains for South Korea. China has always adhered to the plan of the two sides to establish a buffer zone in the surrounding areas with the 38th parallel as the boundary. In the face of China's refusal to budge an inch, the representatives of the United States can be said to have frequently made strange moves.
During a negotiation in August 1951, the U.S. side, in order to adhere to its own diplomatic bottom line, chose to use collective silence as a response to China. On top of such a serious meeting, the pressure of collective silence is enormous. Some young diplomatic envoys of China and the DPRK were intimidated by the tricks of the United States and began to feel restless. Seeing that the situation was developing in an unfavorable direction for China and North Korea, Chai Chengwen, as our liaison officer, who was able to move at will, immediately found Li Kenong and asked Li how to deal with such a situation.
General Li didn't speak, but took the pen next to him and wrote down three big characters: "Sit down!" Chai Chengwen quickly returned to the negotiating table with General Li's note. He handed the note to the delegates and asked them to circulate it in order. After reading General Li's note, the crowd who were originally very impetuous immediately sorted out their manners and sat down again.
With the determination of General Li's note, the Chinese and North Korean delegates present no longer had the panic they had before. One by one, they began to sit in the middle of the field like old monks.
At this moment, the American delegates present were dumbfounded. After 132 minutes of hard work, the Americans finally relented and chose to leave the venue directly. Although China and North Korea were unable to get the answers they hoped for from the United States, they severely thwarted the Americans' plan for negotiations.
Since then, General Lee has always sat behind the third line of negotiations and firmly controlled the situation of the negotiations with North Korea.
During this process, the United States was very jealous of General Lee, and even attacked him. General Lee's thoughts. During that attack, General Lee's jeep was under machine-gun fire from U.S. warplanes. One of the bullets slashed against Lee's foot, leaving a very clear scratch on his boot.
However, General Lee still did not back down because of the danger, and he always stuck to the Korean battlefield, knowing that in the end, China and the United States would agree more on the Korean Peninsula issue.
In the summer of 1953, China and the United States finally reached a basic agreement on all issues. The two sides decided to sign a truce agreement on July 27, 1953, ending the three-year war.
Although peace has arrived, General Lee, who has worked in the intelligence post for many years, retains a very reasonable mind. Inevitably, there was an accident at the site of the upcoming signing of the agreement, and he proposed that the top commanders of China and the United States not be allowed to go to the scene of the signing of the agreement. The two sides only need to send representatives to sign and send the text of the other representative's representative to their military leaders to complete the final signing task.
The reason for this plan was that General Lee feared that the United States or South Korea would send a secret ** at the signing site to carry out the relevant assassination operation. Once there is turmoil on the scene, the blood and lives of our army over the past few years will be wasted.
On July 27, 1953, the "Panmunjom Armistice Agreement" was officially signed. On the second day, Mr. Peng, accompanied by Li Kenong, signed his name on the agreement.
