Why is it that when the Volunteer Army is gaining momentum and is approaching the 38th parallel, these 13 countries want to morally kidnap us and let us cease fire first? And why did the ceasefire agreement of these 13 countries, which was good for both warring sides, finally be torn up by both China and the United States?
On December 7, 1950, when the Volunteers defeated the U.S. Army in the Second Battle to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and approached the 38th parallel, Indian Ambassador to China Pannija suddenly handed over to China a memorandum jointly initiated by 13 countries, which is also known as the "Ceasefire Agreement Proposed by 13 Countries".
The initiative proposes that the Chinese and North Korean militaries and the US-led joint ** first cease fire on the 38th parallel, and then negotiate a peaceful settlement of the Korean issue.
As an old friend of our country, Panniga, who has always played the role of a microphone between us and the Western world, said to our party quite seriously:
This is the first time that all non-European and American countries have come together to put forward a proposal. Therefore, if the squadron does not exceed the 38th parallel, it will receive moral support from these countries! ”
We have to say that this incident did make it very difficult for the great man for a while, so ignore it, these countries are all friends that we should pay attention to, but listening to this suggestion, we fell into the trap set by the Americans?
American high-level. Why is that? First of all, we will say that the main content of the "cease-fire plan" proposed by the 13-nation initiative is to let our armed forces, which are in full momentum, first step on the brakes and then hold negotiations. But the catty in this was seen by the great people at once.
So the Prime Minister refuted 4 questions to the Counsellor of the Indian Embassy on December 8:
1. When the United States used troops against China and North Korea, why did the 13 countries not stand up against it?
Second, since they want to resolve the North Korean issue peacefully, why don't the 13 countries propose to let the foreign team withdraw from the DPRK first;
3. When the United States hit the 38th parallel, why didn't the 13 countries come out to speak?
Fourth, the Philippines has already sent troops to the DPRK, why is it among the 13 countries advocating peace? Isn't that a contradiction?
Obviously, these four questions that China refused and fought back made the representatives of these 13 countries speechless!
At this point, we are going to talk about the trap set by the Americans. To put it simply, they acquiesced in and even encouraged the initiative of the 13 countries to achieve the goal of disrupting China's tricks, and then recuperate and rearmament, in order to enter North Korea again!
Heavy Assault U.S. Army.
But the founding leaders were all fought from the battlefield of nine deaths, and they had extraordinary vigilance and judgment! Another point that has to be mentioned is that Americans once had a "criminal record" of treachery:
For example, during the War of Liberation, Marshall's mediation plan made the great men fool, so the ceasefire initiative of these 13 countries may be the Americans behind the scenes.
It should be said that the leaders' speculation is justified, because the US Joint Chiefs of Staff has already proposed: "Until an agreement is reached, Commander MacArthur is not limited in operations to the 38th parallel." ”
In other words, if the agreement is accepted, the Chinese and North Korean armies will not be able to cross the 38th parallel to attack the opponent, while the "joint **" can rearm and enter North Korea at any time! Isn't this a bandit agreement, and what is it?
But even so, we don't want to be inactive, as many people think. For example, on the issue of the ceasefire, Canadian Prime Minister St. Laurent, who has been active, is satisfied with the content of our Prime Minister's exchange of letters.
For example, as long as all foreign ** teams retreat from North Korea, the first squadron will also retreat, and for example, the internal affairs of North Korea will be settled by the Korean people independently, and the US military must withdraw from Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait, etc.
However, U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations Austin claimed that the letter was nothing more than "an official postcard" from China, demanding that the United Nations immediately blame China.
At the same time, the United States supported the United States by threatening Canada and other countries on the condition of reducing American aid. At this point, it is not difficult for us to see that the sincerity of the United States for a ceasefire is very problematic!
Frustrated American troops at the front.
Of course, the great man who has always hated bowing to foreigners can't bear it! So it was decided to continue fighting to the end, and then the third, fourth, and fifth battles began!
However, according to the declassified post-war archives, the United States was divided into two factions at that time, one was the main peace faction and the other was the main war faction, and the forces on both sides were very anxious, and even Truman couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Why is that? First of all, the Western allies have been persuading the United States not to get bogged down in the Asian quagmire, Europe is the top priority, and Stalin's Soviet Union is eyeing it;
And the main battle faction, through various intelligence analysis, found that there were serious problems in the logistics of the squadron, and the entire army was at the end of its strength! Therefore, if the U.S. military rests a little, it will be able to make a comeback and turn defeat into victory.
Eventually, due to various factors, including the toughness of both sides, the war continued to expand. But then again, if there was a ceasefire at that time, in fact, it would have benefited both sides the most!
For example, it can reduce the large number of ** in the next three battles, and there is no principle of voluntary repatriation of prisoners of war as it was later called, and to be honest, it will benefit more than the later Panmunjom agreement.
