"I, Hao someone, have been Chinese all my life, and now and the future is, even if I die, I will say so." This is Taiwan's military strongman Hao Bocun's loud response to the provocation of others when he embarked on his journey back to his hometown in 1999, which is deeply shocking.
After understanding the background of Hao Bocun, and looking at the determined look in his eyes, the scene became silent.
With regard to this military talent personally promoted by Chiang Kai-shek, why did he firmly embark on the road of promoting cross-strait reunification?What efforts did he put into this?What important turning points have he experienced in his career?
In addition, how did his relationship with the Jiang family develop?Let's explore this question together.
Hao Bocun, a talent personally promoted by Chiang Kai-shek, is still missed by people in Taiwan. This military talent in the Taiwan region, who once made efforts for cross-strait reunification, still cherishes the development of compatriots on both sides of the strait even in his old age.
When it comes to Hao Bocun, we have to mention Chiang Kai-shek, because without the promotion of the Chiang family, Hao Bocun may not be able to gain a place in Taiwan. Hao Baicun, born in Jiangsu Province in 1919, has been full of enthusiasm for the development of the country since he was a child, and even once awakened the consciousness of the people through writing.
Chiang Kai-shek realized that his rhetoric, while impassioned, had little chance of being known to the public at many checkpoints. Hao Bocun was very anxious about this, he had been looking for a way to cheer up the people, and at this time, the rise of the Whampoa Military Academy gave him a new idea.
Thus, Hao Bocun began his military-political career. He resolutely decided to give up the path of awakening the people through words, and instead chose to become a soldier with both courage and wisdom from the Rong Whampoa Military Academy, contributing his own strength to the development of the country.
Since entering the Whampoa Military Academy, Hao Baicun has been strict with himself with the spirit of working hard, insisting on training every day and being meticulous. His conscientious attitude attracted wide attention and became famous at the Whampoa Military Academy.
With his shrewdness, toughness and outstanding performance, Hao Bocun was promoted step by step from platoon commander to company commander, and was finally selected as an instructor at the "Joint Staff University of the Three Services". He went to the US Army Staff College for further study, and with his excellent qualities and outstanding combat ability, he became a highly praised general in the army.
All this brought him to the attention of Chiang Kai-shek.
Hao Bocun was what Chiang Kai-shek once thought could be made, so when he fled to Taiwan, he insisted on taking Hao Bocun with him. Hao Bocun is a person who knows how to be grateful, and he received great encouragement and support from Chiang Kai-shek in the process of growing up and promoting at the Whampoa Military Academy.
Therefore, when Chiang Kai-shek decided to go to Taiwan, Hao Baicun decided to follow him. After arriving in Taiwan, Hao Baicun's reputation became even louder, not only because Chiang Kai-shek personally promoted him to be a fierce general in the army, but also because he was a famous military talent in the army.
Hao Bocun, an outstanding talent in the military system, successively served as the chief instructor, division commander, army commander and commander-in-chief of the Ministry of Defense in the artillery school, and was deeply appreciated by Chiang Kai-shek. In 1966, he was appointed Chiang Kai-shek's chief of guard, and since then he has become the right-hand man of the Chiang family.
After four years of investigation, Chiang Kai-shek confirmed Hao Baicun as a descendant of the Chiang family, so he appointed him as the commander of the lieutenant general of the "First Army" and the deputy chief of the operational staff office, and gave him more important responsibilities in the army.
In 1978, Hao Bocun began to serve as chief of staff and was promoted to first-class general, and also served as the president of the Sun Yat-sen Academy of Sciences and a first-class member of the Executive Yuan. As a four-star general, he was one of the few people to be awarded the highest honor by Chiang Kai-shek"Flag of Honor"generals.
Hao Bocun as"Hao Jiaban"The leader of the company has gradually emerged in the Taiwan region and has become a hot and sworn general in military circles. Because of Chiang Kai-shek's attention and military talent, he became a favorite of the Taiwan region.
Both the senators in Taiwan and the United States want to keep Hao Bocun under their control. However, Hao Bocun had his own beliefs, which led to a gradual estrangement between his relationship with Chiang Ching-kuo.
He always dreamed of cross-strait reunification. Although he followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan, he always had his hometown in mind. He was convinced that it was more important for the people to live happily than anything else.
Seeing that the compatriots on both sides of the strait could not be reunited, he felt deeply helpless and heartbroken.
Hao Bocun remembered the kindness of the Jiang family and knew that without the promotion of the Jiang family, it would be difficult for him to achieve today's achievements. Despite this, he always adhered to his principles, and this persistence made Chiang Ching-kuo gradually wary of him.
After Chiang Kai-shek's death, how to develop the power of the Chiang family became the issue of greatest concern to the Taiwan authorities, and Hao Bocun's "Hao family class" undoubtedly became Chiang Ching-kuo's greatest threat.
The tree is very popular, and Hao Baicun has attracted the attention of Chiang Ching-kuo because of his excessive power. In order to prevent too much concentration of power, Chiang Ching-kuo began to secretly restrain the power of Hao Baicun. Despite understanding Chiang Ching-kuo's intentions, Hao Bocun still stood his ground.
However, Hao Baicun's actions have caused dissatisfaction among Taiwanese politicians, who have not taken action because of Hao's influence. However, after Chiang Ching-kuo's death, Taiwanese politicians showed their true colors, had new ideas about Taiwan's development, and their relations with the United States became closer.
Hao Bocun was outraged by this, and he accused such behavior of violating the development of the Chinese nation.
Although Hao Bocun has strongly denounced it, the Taiwan authorities have shown no concern about this. The cold attitude of Taiwanese politicians became the beginning of a rift between Hao Baicun and Taiwanese politicians.
In February 1993, Hao Bocun stepped down from his post as "president of the Executive Yuan" and openly pledged to work hard for cross-strait reunification. Although Hao Baicun's power has been suppressed by Taiwanese politicians, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Hao Jiaban's power still gives Taiwanese politicians a headache.
In order to pursue cross-strait reunification, Hao Bocun has always adhered to his own stand in disregard of the sweet words of the Taiwan authorities and the reassignment of his official post. He openly opposed those politicians who wanted to obstruct cross-strait reunification, and said that he would make unremitting efforts to realize cross-strait reunification by ensuring that compatriots on both sides of the strait would no longer suffer the pain of family separation.
Even in the face of opposition from Taiwanese politicians, he stood by his convictions and loudly declared that he was always Chinese.
In Taiwan, Mr. Hao Bocun has always upheld firm conviction and made unremitting efforts to promote the process of cross-strait reunification. In 1999, he embarked on his first trip back to his hometown, and although it caused controversy, his determination did not waver: "My Hao Baicun has been Chinese all my life and always will be.
I don't want to lie on the soil of a so-called country when I die. ”
Hao Bocun's disagreement with the Taiwan authorities, his firm attitude, and his contributions to cross-strait development are deeply admirable. He facilitated the air route from Yancheng to Taipei, Jiangsu, and went to the Nanjing Memorial Hall on his first stop when he returned to his hometown, paid homage to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and made a special flight to Shanghai to meet the president of the Straits Association, showing his deep love for the motherland and his strong desire for cross-strait peace.
