Special "**
The author once heard a story and knew the origin of "**." There was a foreign student who went to work as a waiter in a hotel, and he happened to meet a local Taiwanese businessman who was giving a banquet to Taiwan's public opinion representatives. It happened that day was October 10th, the anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution in China, and that day had a special meaning in Taiwan. Later, in order to diversify the risk, the hotel reduced the proportion of Chinese waiters when serving Taiwanese guests.
Everyone knows that after Chiang Kai-shek was driven to Taiwan, he thought about how to "** the mainland" every day on the island of Taiwan, as he claimed"One year of preparation, two years of **, three years of sweeping, five years of success".。Although the year's preparations have been done for a long time, and it has been 70 years of preparation so far, all kinds of historical data show that Chiang Kai-shek's desire to ** the mainland is not just talking, but indeed putting it into action, so why did he finally give up?
Taiwan's early economy
In fact, the author has always had a doubt, Taiwan's economy seems to be quite powerful for a long time, and the GDP of one island in Taiwan accounts for nearly half of the mainland at most, so why is Taiwan so far ahead of the mainland, and Chiang Kai-shek just doesn't do it?
This is going to go ahead and talk about Taiwan's early economy. During the Japanese colonial period, Taiwan was an exporter of raw materials, and there was no decent industry. During World War II, they were bombed indiscriminately by the United States, and after the Japanese were driven away, they were then suppressed by the Kuomintang because of the Liberation War.
In fact, when the Kuomintang fled to the island with 2 million people, the island's economy was on the verge of collapse. In 1951, Taiwan's per capita GDP was $158, while the mainland's was $55. It was not until the mid-1960s that Taiwanese reached the standard of living they had in 1937.
The United States was not happy to see Chiang Kai-shek at this time, and hoped that Sun Liren would replace Chiang Kai-shek in charge of the people**, but this plan did not succeed, and the fate of General Sun Liren and his subordinates, the famous anti-Japanese general, was very tragic, and I will not say much here.
Battle of Golden Gate
On October 15, 1949, under the leadership of the founding general Ye Fei, the People's Liberation Army launched the Battle of Xiamen and successfully defeated the island.
Admiral Ye Fei is strictly an American Filipino, he was born in the Philippines, and his father is from Fujian, so Ye Fei is the only senior general in the history of the People's Republic of China who has returned from overseas. At that time, there were very few communist generals with experience in naval warfare, and Ye Fei was more suitable for naval warfare than ordinary army generals.
At this time, it was actually a good opportunity to recover Taiwan, and the PLA swept through China like a withered and decaying blow across the river. Ye Fei's Sanye ran wildly all the way, and the enemy hit Fujian without seeing a few.
At that time, the Kuomintang army was divided into four parts: one part in the southwest, one part on Hainan Island, one part on the Sino-Vietnamese Sino-Burmese border, and the rest in Taiwan.
Lao Chiang's original plan was to take Taiwan as the rear, learn from Zhou Yu's lupine scarf, and command all units to deal with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and at worst, to protect several coastal provinces. Who knew that the army would lie down too quickly, and the original rear would directly become the front line. Therefore, when Ye Fei conquered Xiamen, there were actually few regular troops on the island of Taiwan.
Compared with Xiamen, Kinmen is much easier to fight, Xiamen is a big city, and the guard will be the old Jiang Yan Tang Enbo, Kinmen does not even have a permanent fortification, and the guard will be the 20,000 remnants of the miscellaneous Li Liangrong.
Ye Fei's 10th Corps had more than 100,000 regular troops, in this case, we made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, the initial plan was that the 28th Army would attack Dajinmen, and the 31st Army would attack Xiaojinmen, but the result was that there were not enough ships, so let the 28th Army fight together with the big and small Kinmen, and the characteristics of the 28th Army were that they were good at defending but not attacking. Moreover, the commander of the 28th Army was in Shanghai at this time, the political commissar was in Fuzhou to govern the place, and the chief of staff was not there, and the largest in the army was Deputy Commander Xiao Feng. The battle plan submitted by the 28th Army was approved directly without reading it because Ye Fei was too busy dealing with local affairs.
The Kuomintang was different. First of all, Tang Enbo went to the island, and this was Chiang Kai-shek's attitude. Secondly, Li Liangrong usually seems to be a good old man, and this wave has also risen. Chiang Kai-shek asked Li Liangrong if he could hold Kinmen after losing Xiamen, and Li Liangrong replied: "Although success is uncertain, Chengren has determination." Then he blew up all the steamers that could go to sea, and this wave of nationals would not flee in front of the soldiers.
There was also a mistake in judging the enemy's strength. After leaving Chaoshan, Hu Lian's 12th Corps received an order from Chiang Kai-shek to reinforce Kinmen, while the intelligence department of Ye Fei's Corps judged that Hu Lian's corps was wandering at sea. The history of the Kuomintang Party once used 12 words to evaluate Hu Lian: Love is like life, spend money like dirt, and kill people like hemp, and this time it played a role.
The first batch of PLA troops who landed used their bodies to resist the blocking of aircraft, tanks, and machine guns, and all the landing ships were destroyed, and the PLA urgently mobilized ships for reinforcements, but only 4 companies of ships were collected, and finally only 10 platoons arrived at Kinmen. As a result of the battle, more than 9,000 Kuomintang troops were killed and wounded, and of the 9,086 PLA commanders and fighters who landed on the island, 3,900 were captured and all the rest were killed.
The victory in this battle saved the Kuomintang, which had only one breath left, bought time for the Kuomintang, allowed more troops to enter the island of Taiwan, and greatly boosted the morale of the Kuomintang, which was almost exhausted.
The People's Liberation Army on land is the absolute king, even if the troops are not enough, or the equipment is not good, the enemy can advance and retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturb us, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue. But island warfare is different, as long as the defender is prepared, if the attacker can't send enough troops and equipment in an instant, the end will be completely annihilated, and there will be nowhere to run. Therefore, as long as the Kuomintang can guarantee sea and air supremacy, then the island of Taiwan will be very difficult to attack.
The Korean War broke out
When Korea broke out in June 1950, Truman mistakenly believed that the Taiwan Strait War, like the Korean War, was the global strategy of the Soviet Union, and they believed that once Taiwan was lost, the Eastern Defense Circle would be at risk of being destroyed, so Truman quickly sent the Seventh Fleet to protect Taiwan, and the Western Pacific Island Defense Circle re-included Taiwan, which was later called the first island chain and the second island chain as the Chinese. Then, in 1951, the United States resumed aid to the Kuomintang, and the island's collapsing economy eased.
After the outbreak of the Korean War, before the People's Liberation Army entered Korea, Chiang Kai-shek offered to fight in Korea. The reason is very simple, of course, it is not for the democratic freedom of the South Korean people, but for the sake of fighting North Korea and directly ** the mainland. The result was strongly opposed by then-US Secretary of State Acheson. The Americans were not stupid either, and Acheson believed that the entry of the Kuomintang into the war would likely provoke the Communists and lead the People's Republic of China into the war. He also had no confidence in the combat effectiveness of the Kuomintang army, and felt that none of them could necessarily defeat the Korean People's Army.
In the end, Truman took Acheson's advice and did not allow the Kuomintang army to enter Korea. Later, MacArthur ignored China's warnings and crossed the 38th parallel to occupy all of Korea, and the Chinese People's Volunteers were forced to join the war. The Americans soon discovered that they were facing more than 300,000 elites, and that a large number of troops were gathering in the northeast and ready to enter Korea at any time. And the United **, although well-armed, has less than 100,000 people in North Korea. Chairman Jiang instantly felt that he was doing it again, and made various expressions here: Let me go up, let me go up.
MacArthur did want to get the Kuomintang up, but unfortunately Truman still did not agree. In the final analysis, the national policy of the United States at that time was to support Europe and suppress the Soviet Union, and was unwilling to invest too many resources in Asia.
In May 1952, Clark took office, and when he first came to power, it seemed that there was really not enough manpower, and he really needed cannon fodder from the Kuomintang, so he also reported to Truman that new officials must always give some face when they take office. Clark thought that it was completely fine, and while reporting to Truman, he asked the Kuomintang troops to be ready and ready to move at any time, but Truman again refused. At the end of December, Eisenhower took office as the new **, and Clark reiterated the plan for the Kuomintang to enter Korea, but Eisenhower also vetoed it.
At this point, Chiang Kai-k completely abandoned the plan to go from the mainland of Korea. In May 1953, after the People's Liberation Army launched its summer offensive, the two sides actually ceased fighting.
Feng Chiang Kai-shek was the king of grass
In June 1953, China and the Soviet Union signed the Agreement on Naval Deliveries and on Giving China Technical Assistance in Construction. What did the navy do? The first thing, of course, is to recover Taiwan. When China and the United States wrestled their wrists in North Korea, the Kuomintang was not completely idle. Although a hardliner like MacArthur on China cannot change US policy in terms of the general trend, there are still many small actions.
The United States set up a Western company in Taiwan, imported ** and instructors to Taiwan, and trained guerrillas on the islands off the coast of Zhejiang that were still controlled by the Kuomintang at that time, and harassed China's coastal areas in various ways. Hu Zongnan also mixed up with the governor of Zhejiang Province, in fact, he was in charge of a few islands.
As soon as the Korean War ended, although the Soviet Union's aid was not good, China had begun to recover some small islands still controlled by the Kuomintang, with the previous experience of seizing the islands, and most of the islands were still far away from Taiwan, China soon recovered most of the small islands off the coast of Zhejiang.
Seeing that the situation was not right, the United States hastened to sign the "Sino-US Mutual Defense Treaty" with the Kuomintang. The "China" in "China and the United States" refers to China**, but this treaty is actually only to protect the island of Taiwan. The meaning of the Americans is obvious, tell Chiang Kai-shek to stop thinking about the mainland, and make you the king of grass in Taiwan.
823 artillery battle
In 1957, U.S. Secretary of State Dulles came to Taiwan to persuade Chiang Kai-shek to abandon Kinmen and Matsu, and even threatened to reduce aid to Taiwan if he did not withdraw. Against such a background, the *** comrades on the other side of the strait reached out to help.
On August 23, 1958, the CCP launched the 823 artillery battle against Kinmen, which was a long-range ** and kept fighting. On the one hand, it was announced that the two sides of the strait were still in a state of war, which preserved Chiang Kai-shek's hope for the mainland. In addition, I also want to see the bottom line of the Americans, but the American supply ship came, did not go ashore to participate in the war, and turned around and ran away. The Communist Party also "only fights Chiang's ships, not American ships", and the two sides seem to have agreed with each other. Immediately after that, the United States transferred an aircraft carrier into the Taiwan Strait, and threatened China with nuclear weapons, which means that it is okay to fight, but it is not okay to enter Taiwan.
Guoguang Plan
After 1958, China's domestic economy was in difficulty, and Chiang Kai-shek felt that he could do it, but he couldn't stand the Americans thinking that he couldn't do it. At that time, Taiwan could only afford to raise a few hundred thousand troops, while the mainland had 4 million, and many of them had worked with the Americans in North Korea. The Americans, knowing the combat effectiveness of the PLA, resolutely disagreed with Chiang Kai-shek ** mainland.
At this time, the "Sino-US Mutual Defense Treaty" changed from Chiang Kai-shek's protective umbrella to a tight mantra, and the Kuomintang had to obtain the consent of the United States to attack the mainland. But the Americans disagreed, so Chiang Kai-shek could only secretly make a plan for the glory of the country, that is, a plan for the mainland.
But because the Kuomintang and the Communist Party had the same predicament, they did not have the ability to project troops. Chiang Kai-shek could only rely on himself, so he launched a Haiwei operation, and his plan was to send special forces and spies to the mainland to set off a wave of uprising among the people on the mainland. The final data shows that from 1961 to 1965, 1,800 elites were sent to the mainland, one-third survived, and there were zero uprisings.
In 1964, China's first atomic bomb was successfully tested, and Chiang Kai-shek was largely despaired. Therefore, 1965 became the year with the most simulations and special operations of the Guoguang Project.
On August 6, 1965, when the Navy was carrying out the "Tsunami No. 1 Exercise" mission in Jianmen and Zhangjiang**, they were ambushed by PLA torpedo boats, and both ships were sunk, and nearly 200 officers and men died.
On November 14, the Shanhai ship was sunk by a PLA speedboat. The army has never been an opponent, and now the navy can't play anymore, so what's the use of a few planes left? The Guoguang plan is nothing more than a piece of waste paper.
Disillusioned
In 1971, Kissinger visited China. In the same year, the People's Republic of China replaced the People's Republic of China at the United Nations. In 1972, the Kunikwang operation room was abolished. In 1975, Chiang Kai-shek died. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979, Chiang Ching-kuo changed the slogan of "** Restoration of the Country" into "Three People's Principles to unify China".
So far, the ** continent has become a historical term.
It is undeniable to say that the people in Chiang Kai-shek's Zhi**wan are actually not living well. Chiang Kai-shek did not put much effort into developing Taiwan's people's livelihood, and whenever he was preparing for war, he would levy a special tax for temporary national defense, which would be a quarter of his income. In the 60s, most of the soldiers were Taiwanese natives, so why should people shed their blood for your dream of recovering the country?
Does Chiang Kai-shek know that the ** mainland is not feasible? The author thinks that after the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, we should know, but what kind of things should the **, soldiers and people of such an island use to unite? I can only make up this illusory dream to deceive myself and all Taiwanese people.
Conclusion
After reading Chiang Kai-shek's dream of the mainland, I feel that Taiwan's *** is actually in a false dream. Do the authorities know that "impossible?" I must know, so why not give up the ** party program? Just like Chiang Kai-shek, he used this dream to deceive the Taiwanese and deceive himself.
Unifying the general trend is unstoppable. It's a dream, and there will always be a day to wake up.
