The leader pointed out the reunification of the two sides of the strait, two-way consultation, or force
In the face of the difficulties and challenges in the process of cross-strait reunification, how should we deal with them? This is an issue of great practical significance, especially after Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, the situation on the Taiwan issue has become even more severe.
Looking back on the last century, our great leader made a profound prediction on the Taiwan issue, and also revealed to us two paths for Taiwan's future.
So, what exactly are these two paths? How do you view the cross-strait issue? Let's work together.
Image source network, the process of founding New China can be called difficult. After 14 years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, more than 35 million soldiers and civilians**, China was shattered and desolate.
After the victory through hardships, the land of China briefly ushered in peace. However, this is only the first step in a long march.
In August 1945, when Japan announced its surrender, the Kuomintang was led by Chiang Kai-shek. He has 8 million modern American-style equipped troops, but his idea is to rely on the forces of Western countries to safeguard the interests of the national bourgeoisie and the four major families of Chiang, Song, Kong, and Chen, to achieve capitalist rule, and to eliminate the Communist Party "Tu Balu" led by ***, which lacks guns and artillery.
On the other hand, he resolutely advocated the overthrow of imperialism, feudalism and bureaucratic capitalism, the establishment of proletarian power, and the realization of the party's lifelong goal of communism.
On August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. However, since the Kuomintang and the Communist Party could not reach an agreement on the issue of the army and the power in the liberated areas, Lao Chiang brazenly tore up the Double Tenth Agreement in order to consolidate his dominance.
At that time, our army was obviously inferior in equipment and numbers, and attacked our army on a large scale with superior forces. In July 1946, the Kuomintang, with the support of the United States, openly provoked a civil war, plunging China, which had just recovered from life, into the abyss of war again.
Chiang Kai-shek threatened to "solve the problem" in just six months, but our party, under the wise leadership of the people, not only did not let it achieve its "feat", but was chased and beaten by our army.
In just one year, the Kuomintang's military strength was divided and surrounded by our army in a few isolated strongholds. By the beginning of 1949, our army launched three major battles in succession: Liaoshen, Huaihai, and Pingjin, and almost completely annihilated the Kuomintang army.
In these three years, our army allowed the Kuomintang to begin to rout from within, so that it no longer had the courage to confront our army!
In 1949, Chiang Kai-shek was unable to recover his defeat and had to flee to Taiwan with the rest of his forces. When Lao Chiang realized that he was about to lose, he prepared three back roads for himself: Sichuan, Hainan and Taiwan.
Ultimately, he chose Taiwan as a safe haven for the simple reason that it is. Taiwan was separated from the mainland by the Taiwan Strait, which had an average width of 200 kilometers and a depth of about 60 meters, which was an almost impenetrable natural barrier for the navy and air force of the time.
In this way, Chiang Kai-shek's safety was greatly guaranteed. At the same time, he has always adhered to the principle of taking the mainland first, believing that the island of Taiwan is an ideal place to build a strong maritime defense line.
However, for the PLA at that time, it was almost an impossible task to storm this place.
After Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, he did not underestimate his possible movements. He is well aware that if Taiwan is not liberated as soon as possible and completely belongs to China, then the United States may carry out a series of actions in the Taiwan region, which will be beyond our control.
Therefore, we must nip this possibility in the bud before the problem worsens. Whether it is Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, or Matsu, they are all inalienable parts of China's territory.
In the world, there is only one China. Recovering Taiwan and realizing the reunification of the motherland is the sacred mission of the Chinese nation.
The United States may abandon Taiwan at any time and be indifferent to Taiwan, and it will only be the Taiwanese people who will suffer in the end. And whatever the United States leaves behind, the Chinese will eventually have to take responsibility for cleaning up the mess.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and there is only one path left for Taiwan, that is, to return to the mainland and make Taiwan an inseparable part of the Chinese nation. When the Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan, the remnants of the Kuomintang troops stationed on the mainland had been completely wiped out by our army.
Against this backdrop, an order was given to build a strong navy and a well-coordinated air force. He believed that as long as the navy and air force cooperate tacitly, Taiwan's trench will no longer be a problem.
In 1949, the strategy of "liberating Taiwan by force" was formulated, and then the Xinhua News Agency published an article entitled "The Chinese People Must Liberate Taiwan," marking that the historical task of liberating Taiwan fell on the shoulders of Su Yu, the first general of New China and the "victorious general."
The estimated time is the summer of 1950, during which the issue of sea-crossing operations will be resolved, and the PLA will be strengthened to reduce the possibility of US interference in China's internal affairs.
In October 1949, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) formulated a strategic plan to liberate Xiamen first, then conquer Kinmen, and finally seize Taiwan. However, the outcome of the Battle of Kinmen was unexpected, becoming the only battle in the history of the PLA in which the entire army was annihilated.
After the fall of Xiamen, Chiang Kai-shek realized the importance of Kinmen, and by holding Kinmen, he could continue to control Xiamen. The defeat at the Battle of Kinmen hung by a thread for Chiang Kai-shek.
The transfer of Hu Lian's two main forces to Kinmen for reinforcements increased Kinmen's original strength of less than 20,000 to more than 30,000, and it was equipped with armored units, including 21 American-made tanks, each weighing 15 tons, equipped with a 37-mm artillery fire, which was very suppressive for anti-landing operations.
After learning of the reinforcement of Kinmen, Su Yu, deputy commander of the East China Field Army, quickly made three decisions: first, not to take the initiative to attack the enemy, because the enemy army only has 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the reinforcement will make the situation unfavorable; second, it did not fight when there were not enough ships to carry 6 regiments, which ensured the strength of the army; The third is to select 6,000 experienced seafarers from northern Jiangsu or Shandong, without whom they cannot attack.
Su Yu had long been aware of the complexity of the Battle of Kinmen, so he issued three important directives. However, these directives were not implemented. Commander Ye Fei of the 10th Army Corps did not follow Su Yu's orders because he was too light on the enemy, but instead commanded the legion to participate in the battle, which led to the heroic death of all the PLA soldiers who participated in the battle.
In order to achieve the liberation of Taiwan, the capture of Kinmen is indispensable. Because Kinmen was an outpost used by the Kuomintang to reconnoiter the movements of the mainland and a springboard for the soldiers who harassed the mainland.
Kinmen was only 5 kilometers from Xiamen's closest point, so as long as the Kuomintang troops were stationed, they could use artillery fire to blockade the sea area tens of kilometers near Xiamen, and at the same time use the airport and port of Kinmen to intercept the PLA.
The defeat in the Battle of Kinmen made *** deeply aware of the importance of having a strong navy and air force, because this directly affected the process of liberating Taiwan. The victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea has enhanced China's international status and influence, so that other countries will no longer dare to despise China.
However, China suffered repeated defeats, which led the United States to sign a "mutual defense treaty" with Chiang Kai-shek in an attempt to create "**
Because the two islands of Kinmen and Matsu were omitted from the treaty, the sinister intentions of the United States were clearly exposed. In response, ** publicly stated that we did not recognize this treaty, and warned the United States and Chiang Kai-shek that if they insisted on going their own way, we would use force to liberate Taiwan.
In order to demonstrate our determination, on January 18, 1955, our navy, land and air forces jointly carried out a strong campaign against this treaty and successfully occupied Jiangshan Island by force, which is an important gateway to Taiwan and is of great strategic importance to Taiwan.
The United States attempted to internationalize the Taiwan issue, but this attempt was skillfully detected by Chiang Kai-shek. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek rejected the American proposal. ** After noticing Chiang Kai-shek's behavior, the chairman believed that his relationship with the United States was not monolithic, and that it was still possible to resolve the Taiwan question peacefully.
However, even though Chiang Kai-shek was well aware of the intentions of the United States, he still chose to conspire with the tiger and resolutely refused to accept the proposal for the peaceful liberation of Taiwan. The United States has repeatedly tried to control Taiwan and even carried out a nuclear deterrence against China, but the PLA has always been undaunted.
In the course of history, China has faced various challenges and difficulties. However, it is precisely these challenges and difficulties that have prompted China to move forward and grow. In the face of the harassment of the Kuomintang army, ** personally commanded the artillery attack on Kinmen, which successfully thwarted the arrogance of the Kuomintang, intensified the contradictions between Chiang Kai-shek and the United States, and temporarily alleviated the Taiwan issue.
On October 25, 1971, China succeeded in restoring its lawful seat in the United Nations and directly expelled the representatives of the Taiwan authorities, marking the formation of a major pattern of "only one China in the world" in the international community.
Although Taiwan has not yet been reunified, China's international status has been significantly enhanced. This fully proves that only by uniting as one can we overcome difficulties and march toward victory.
Image source network, ** once foresaw that Taiwan will return to the embrace of the motherland. Even if the United States interferes behind the scenes, even if the demon girl Pelosi visits Taiwan, it will not be able to change this fact.
Taiwan has always been an inalienable part of China's territory. Today, our People's Liberation Army (PLA) is fully prepared and firmly believes that the motherland will certainly allow Taiwan to return.
