When the People's Liberation Army liberated Nanjing and large southern cities in a stormy manner, Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was not far off from escaping the mainland. On December 10, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek flew to Taipei with his sons Chiang Ching-kuo and Mao Renfeng, and in the last 26 years of his life, he never set foot on the mainland again. However, Chiang Kai-shek also worked hard to realize the reunification of the motherland, but the luck psychology in his heart has led to the fact that the two sides of the strait are still in a situation of separation.
Li Cibai's contact ended in vain
After Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan, our army immediately prepared a strategic plan for attacking Taiwan. ** The Military Commission formulated 1With a budget of $500 million for naval equipment, Su Yu also came up with a specific combat plan and was ready to invest 500,000 troops.
After this news was transmitted to Taiwan, the people at all levels of the Kuomintang were panicked, and Chiang Kai-shek was also thinking about the next strategy. Chiang Ching-kuo suggested peace talks, got his father's approval, and after consideration, decided to let Li Cibai serve as the vanguard.
Li Cibai is a graduate of the sixth phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, but his brother and sister-in-law are both members of our party, and his sister is married to Mr. Chen's brother. Li Cibai was suspected because of this, so he took off his military uniform and went into business.
Li Cibai naturally wanted to return to the mainland to reunite with relatives and friends, so he accepted the task and came to Shanghai to meet Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen didn't dare to slack off when he heard about this matter, and immediately reported it. While Li Cibai waited for a reply, the Korean Peninsula broke out into war, and Chiang Kai-shek was overjoyed and ordered Li Cibai to suspend the peace talks.
Song Yishan's expedition failed
In 1955, he put forward the idea of the peaceful liberation of Taiwan, which was agreed to. After Zhang Shizhao, who was in Taiwan, heard the news, Mao then recommended himself to contact our party. ** A letter to Chiang Kai-shek was drafted, mentioning four specific methods of implementation. At the end of the letter, it is also emphasized that "the tomb of Fenghua is still there, and the flowers and plants of Xikou are unharmed." Chiang Kai-shek was moved.
In June 1956, ** once again stated in public that he "did not blame the past" for the past, and made arrangements for the work of the principal responsible person in Taiwan, hoping that the Taiwan authorities would think about it.
Chiang Kai-shek thought about it for a long time, and in 1957 he sent Song Yishan north to the mainland to understand the intentions of our party. Song Yishan came to Beijing under the pretext of visiting his younger brother Song Xilian, and consulted with Li Weihan, who was then the minister of **, and Song Yishan got a final reply and wrote a 15,000-word report and presented it to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang Kai-shek was quite dissatisfied with the report, because the development of the mainland made Chiang Kai-shek red-eyed, and he thought that Song Yishan had been "**" during this time on the mainland, so he did not believe Song Yishan's words. In addition, there were some changes in the domestic situation at that time, and Chiang Kai-shek once again repented.
Cao Juren has been running around for many years without success
It didn't take long for Cao Juren to go north again and begin to make contact with our party. Cao Juren is Zhang Taiyan's close door**, and he has a very good relationship with Chiang Ching-kuo, he is neither a soldier nor a businessman, but a celebrity in the cultural circles, and he also has contacts with many people in our party.
** Cao Juren was received at a banquet and clearly put forward the decision made by our party to achieve peaceful reunification. On October 3, **in the case of Indonesia**'s visit, he met with Cao Juren, which moved Cao Juren.
After Cao Juren returned to Taiwan, he relayed the words of ***, asking Chiang Kai-shek if he could go to Fenghua for a field investigation and get permission. Cao Juren came to the mainland for the second time, and went to Jiang's mother's cemetery to sweep the tomb, and also took a ** photo, proving that nothing has changed. Cao Juren also personally climbed Lushan Mountain and saw that the place where Chiang Kai-shek once lived was still the same, including the piano used by Soong Meiling and various silver tableware.
Although Chiang Kai-shek knew what he was doing, he was still not determined to enter the practical process. In 1961, our party further put forward the "one program and four objectives" on the Taiwan issue, showing great sincerity. Chiang Kai-shek later put forward six conditions in 1965 to negotiate with our party, and our party also clarified Chiang Kai-shek's position.
Before the specific act could be implemented, in 1966, ** broke out. The matter of cross-strait reunification was once again shelved. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, Chiang Kai-shek once again mentioned the matter of peace talks, at this moment Cao Juren had died of illness, and the 92-year-old Zhang Shizhao wanted to go north again, but died of illness while recuperating in Hong Kong.
Chiang Kai-shek handed over the task of matchmaking to Chen Lifu, who tried his best to invite *** south to Taiwan, but at this moment, it was inconvenient for *** to travel far, ** was also admitted to the hospital due to overwork, and not long after, Chiang Kai-shek died of illness in Taipei. The following year, ** passed away.
After Chiang Ching-kuo took office, he still adhered to his father's policy and realized three direct links with the mainland, but after all, he failed to realize cross-strait reunification during his tenure. However, recovering Taiwan and accomplishing the great cause of the motherland's reunification is still the only way to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
