The Yugoslav issue is left alone for the time being, and then the Chinese issue can only be discussed. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In fact, there is nothing to discuss about the Chinese issue, because basically it can be said that the overall situation has been decided, and the entire north of the Yangtze River in addition to Gansu, Xinjiang, and Qinghai still has the remnants of the Scraping People's Party army, it can be said that the entire Central Plains has been liberated, and the remaining Scraping People's Party Army can only rely on the so-called Yangtze River defense line to defend it.

According to the plan of Jiang and the Ministry of National Defense, the entire Yangtze River defense line is divided into two large theaters, and west of Hukou is the middle reaches of the Yangtze River theater, which is under the command of Bai Chongxi, the military and political chief of Central China, and has 40 divisions. To the east of Hukou is the lower Yangtze River theater, which is under the command of Tang Enbo, commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison, with 75 divisions.

According to the recollections of Hou Jingru (commander of the 17th Corps of the Scraping Army), Qin Yizhi (deputy commander-in-chief of the Nanjing garrison), Liao Yunze (deputy commander of the 9th Training Headquarters of the 7th Appeasement Zone) and others, the overall operational policy of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Theater formulated by Jiang was as follows: Take the Yangtze River defense line as the periphery, the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou triangle as the focus, and the Songhu as the core, and adopt a protracted defense policy to achieve the goal of holding on.

Seems like this plan makes sense? Moreover, the total number of troops is as high as 115 divisions, which can be said to be quite powerful. But that's not the case at all. First of all, from a strategic point of view, defending the Yangtze River must defend the Huai, if you want to hold the line of the Yangtze River, the Huai River area must be in your hands, if this piece is lost, it is equivalent to a large lack of strategic depth and support, and the T Communist Party can face the Yangtze River and directly cross the river. The problem is that in the so-called Battle of Xu Beng, the Scraping People's Party has already lost all the Huai River, so it naturally falls into a comprehensive passivity, and can only be passively defended along the Yangtze River.

Unfortunately, the Yangtze River is so long that a thousand-hundred-kilometer defense line requires a large number of troops to hold on. It is a pity that the People's Party does not have so many troops. As mentioned above, Bai Chongxi commanded 40 divisions to defend the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, how many people should there be in 40 divisions, not to mention that there should be more than 400,000 people, right? It's a pity that Bai Chongxi doesn't have so many people, and his forty divisions only have a total of 250,000 people. Besides, Tang Enbo's 75 divisions look terrifying, but these 75 divisions are only 450,000 people. That is to say, the average of the 115 divisions of the scraping army is only 6,000 people per division, which is at most the combat effectiveness of a brigade.

In fact, at this time, the division of the scraping army may not even have the combat effectiveness of the brigade, because the average of 6,000 people is the total number of non-combat units such as organs and logistics. In fact, the number of people these divisions who can really fight is probably about 4,000 people, which is really only equivalent to the level of strengthening the regiment. In the words of the Kuomintang itself, there are 450,000 people on the 790-kilometer defense line, with an average of only 570 people per kilometer, and it is difficult to form a line hand in hand, let alone face a heavy attack by PLA troops.

Let's put it this way, this so-called Yangtze River defense line is simply a tofu scum project. PLA can cross it at any time as long as it wants. So why didn't PLA cross it right away? The reason is very simple: seeing that the KMT could not win on the battlefield, it could only use the tactic of delaying the army, and pitifully shouted the slogan of peace and once again demanded peace talks. On the basis of the principle of achieving peace and rebuilding the homeland as soon as possible, the Communist Party agreed to give the KMT a chance and agreed to the peace talks.

It's just unthinkable that the "History of the War of Rebellion" compiled by the People's Party for this peace talks is: In the early January of the 38th year of the Republic of China, although Xu Beng and the Central Plains were successful, the second and third Ye Liu and Chen bandits also suffered heavy casualties, estimated to be more than 400,000 people, and they urgently needed to be reorganized to restore their combat strength; The four wild forest bandits fought against the Central Plains, although there was no fierce battle, but they entered the customs in a hurry, rushed thousands of miles, especially to be repaired, benefited by the soldiers of the northern country, did not know the nature of water, preferential training, and needed time to engage in the preparation of crossing the river, and felt that it was extremely difficult to do it overnight. In desperation, he repeated his old tricks and disguised political peace talks in the hope of preparing for the bandit army's crossing of the river, gaining enough time, and taking the opportunity to attack the morale of our army and the people, disintegrate the fighting spirit of the army, and pave the way for its military action.

Well, after reading this passage, Li Xiaofeng really admired Jiang someone's cheekiness, obviously he was forced to have no choice but to go down to the field and pull Vice President Li up to buy time, and use the so-called strategy of peace talks to engage in a delaying strategy, but he said it so high-soundingly. Pretending to be a scraper that the Kuomintang does not need peace talks, it is the T Communist Party that needs peace talks, and this Nima is really a bluffer.

Everyone knows that after ********, the elite corps of the People's Party has been wiped out, and PLA is the time when morale is like a rainbow.

Speaking of which, I have to admire Jiang once again for his thick black studies, who can say that failure is a success, and can say that an embarrassed escape is a transfer, and this ability to turn black and white into a deer is really the material of a natural politician.

Of course, Jiang Mou's life at this time is also quite difficult, although he can whitewash the peace in words, but the actual situation will slap him in the face. With the power of his central lineage greatly weakened, the local factions already have the capital not to buy his account, or even to oust him from power.

In a state of military failure, political loss of cohesion, and complete collapse of the economy because of the use of gold yuan coupons, and the morale of the military has been completely played, to be an ordinary person is to accept the outcome of defeat gloomily, and to be great is to eat and wait for death. But Jiang is not ordinary, he has experienced this similar unfavorable situation several times, and the means to deal with this situation are also very familiar, isn't it just to go to the field, and then come to the stage after going to the field Jiang has already played twice, and there is nothing wrong with playing again.

However, this time the situation is different, because at this time, it is expected that Jiang will go into the wilderness, or that there are several forces at home and abroad that are driving Jiang into the wilderness. Let's talk about the country first, Jiang's mortal enemies, Li and Bai of the Gui family, are the key forces in demolishing Jiang's platform. When the government of the People's Republic of China was electing the president and vice president, Jiang hoped that Sun Ke would set up a platform with him, and did not want others to stir up the situation, especially Li Zongren, who had repeatedly opposed him, to come out to campaign. But in the end, it was Li Zongren who was elected vice president, which can be said to have directly accelerated the split within the party.

Not only was Li Zongren's Gui faction demolishing Chiang's platform, but US President Truman was also extremely disgusted with Chiang, and after several defeats in the General Assembly, Truman was completely disappointed in Chiang to the end, knowing that no matter how much aid he gave, he would be thrown into a bottomless pit, so he simply cut off the aid to the Scraping People's Party. And this caused a complete collapse of the relationship between Chiang and Truman.

Of course, Jiang still hoped for American aid, but he put his hopes on another person, and this person was one of the big jokes in the history of the US presidential campaign -- Dewey (the teacher of Hu Shi and Tao Xingzhi).

At that time, Dewey, who represented the Republican Party of the United States, was particularly vocal and had the potential to win the White House in one fell swoop. Therefore, Chiang was also prepared to bet on Dewey in order to receive a lot of aid after his election. Jiang once sent Chen Lifu, the core figure of the CC faction, to the United States, nominally to participate in the "World Moral Reorganization Games", but in fact, he communicated with Dewey in advance. In order to gain Dewey's substantial support, Chiang invested considerable money, and even printed the slogan congratulating Dewey on his election in advance. At that time, after Chen Lifu returned from the United States, he swore to Shanghai's "News World" weekly: "Dewey's election as president of the United States is almost certain and untouchable...... If Dewey is elected, he should adopt an extraordinary approach to military aid to China. ”

It's just funny that Jiang made the wrong bet, who would have thought that Truman would be like Roosevelt back then, and he was defeated and successfully re-elected as president of the United States.

As a last resort, Chiang had no choice but to write a cheeky letter to Truman, in which he said: "If the US government can produce a resolute declaration, it will maintain the morale of the army and the confidence of the people." ”

But Truman is also a master of settling accounts after the autumn, and he was originally angry with Jiang someone trying his best to support Dewey, so can he have a little good color for Jiang at this time? He directly rejected Jiang's request, even such a symbolic declaration.

However, Jiang did not give up, seeing that this road did not work, he thought of the tried and tested lady diplomacy in World War II, and sent Soong Meiling to the United States to appeal to the US government again to aid the People's Party. However, this trick also failed this time, and Marshall, an "old friend" of the then US Secretary of State, only allowed Soong Meiling to visit the United States in a private capacity, and rejected all of Soong Ziwen's requests for aid to China.

In this situation of internal and external difficulties, Jiang just can't think of going into the wilderness. Of course, what we want to discuss here is not the change in the situation in China caused by Jiang someone's downfield, to be honest, whether Jiang someone goes down or not at this time is insignificant to the overall situation, as long as the T Communist Party is not brainless, there is no chance to scrape the Kuomintang at all.

So is the T Communist Party brain-dead? It's simply impossible, in fact, the Central Army of the Communist Party. The committee has already drawn up a plan for the battle to cross the river, and as long as the KMT does not give a satisfactory answer before the deadline for the peace talks, the crossing of the river is a foregone conclusion and unstoppable. As far as the Soviet Union is concerned, what is most concerned now is not who will win or lose in China, but the question of its future policy toward China.

There may be comrades who are going to wonder again, does the Soviet Union's China policy still need to be discussed? Isn't it just comrades and brothers? That being said, there is an old saying that says well - a brother settles accounts. Brother Ni Wall is not without it, if you don't settle the accounts clearly, no matter how good the relationship is, it will become an enemy. So what are the current accounts between the USSR and the T Communist Party that need to be settled?

To put it simply, they are as follows: First, the Northeast issue, second, the Taiwan issue, third, the issue of border disputes between the two countries left over from history, and fourth, the issue of aid to China.

Let's talk about them one by one, first of all, the Northeast issue. When the Chinese Civil War broke out, in order to prevent the Scraping People's Party from entering the Northeast, the Soviet Union squeezed out the Scraping People's Party by garrisoning troops. This retained a large rear for the T Communists, and although there was a gap between the industrial base in the Northeast and the Soviet Union, it was simply open for the T Communists. It can be said that without the large rear of the Northeast, there would be no PLA to eliminate the Scraping People's Party faster than in history.

And now, the defeat of the Kuomintang is imminent, and the Soviet Red Army stationed in the northeast has no reason to continue to rely on it, and the northeast is quite important to the Soviet Union because of its ******** relations. There was a group of high-ranking Soviet leaders who had the idea of continuing to "concession" the northeast.

However, Li Xiaofeng resolutely objected: "From the perspective of current interests, the northeast of the concession is of course a good choice. However, from the perspective of long-term interests, this practice is neocolonialism, which will inevitably arouse the resentment of the Chinese people of the Republic of China, and even give a very bad impression to the people of the world. The United States, Britain and other enemies will also take advantage of this and spare no effort to attack us. So that's not the best way to do it. In order to maintain the traditional friendship between us and the Communist Party of China and to make long-term plans for the future, we should withdraw our troops from the northeast as soon as possible. ”

This question is not bad, when a certain immortal puts the facts and reasons, most of the old revolutionaries can understand, but when Li Xiaofeng proposed to deal with Taiwan in the same way as the Northeast and return it to the Communist Party as soon as possible, it caused controversy.

Sverdlov first proposed: "Taiwan is different from the Northeast, and our Red Navy very much needs Taiwan, a big island facing the Pacific Ocean. If our fleet is here, it will be possible to break the US blockade of the first island chain without much difficulty. And as we all know, the T Communist Party has almost no maritime power, and it is impossible to develop an ocean-going navy for a long time in the future, and it is simply a waste to hand over Taiwan to them! ”

After a pause, he saw that a certain immortal was about to speak, and hurriedly said: "What's more, Taiwan has been ceded to Japan before, and we took it back from Japan, and from this point of view, Taiwan should be owned by us." ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Xiaofeng gave Sverdlov two words, and he criticized it very seriously: "This is the most shameless and unreasonable speech I have ever made, is this still the words of a Bolshevik and a Marxist?" It's simply Chiguoguo's colonial rhetoric. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in the Cairo Declaration of the Cairo Conference, we promised to return to their masters all the territories illegally occupied by Japan, including the Ryukyus and Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan is particularly important to the Red Navy, but after all, Taiwan is a reasonable and legitimate territory of China, and no matter what reason is used to forcibly occupy it, it is a hooligan's act. ”

These words were loud and well-founded, which forced Sverdlov to abandon the idea of directly annexing Taiwan and instead came up with a new idea: "In that case, can we lease some ports in Taiwan as bases for the Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy?" That's fine, right? ”

In this regard, Li Xiaofeng asked rhetorically: "Comrade Yakov, what would you think if the United States made a request to us now to lend Kronstadt?" Would you feel happy? ”

Sverdlov's face turned red and he quibbled: "This is not a nature!" How can we be confused with imperialism from the point of view of safeguarding the interests of the world proletariat? ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered and continued to ask: "What if the comrades in Huaxia clearly refuse? ”

Sverdlov was speechless, because it was possible, but he never thought it was important for the T to be in this regard, and he explained again: "Then try to do the work!" ”

Li Xiaofeng sneered again: "Can't do work? ”

Now Sverdlov was speechless, because the latter words were very simple, if the work could not be done, it would be nothing more than two results, one was to get out of the way, and the other was to take possession. But the first of these two results is something that Xiao Si is not happy to see, and the latter is something that can only be understood but not spoken. If you say it openly, you are really a hooligan. And now Sverdlov can't be a blatant hooligan, because that's politically incorrect.

However, Li Xiaofeng's repeated rhetorical questions also angered Sverdlov, and he asked: "Then let the first island chain be blocked?" Is this your strategy? ”

This question is very sharp and difficult to answer, after all, for the mainstream opinion of the Soviet Union, the temptation to break the blockade is too great, and it is not stupid to be able to break the blockade and not do it?

Li Xiaofeng's answer was: "There is only one way I can come up with, and that is to talk well in business." When our fleet needs it, we will apply to the Huaxia side, and if the Huaxia comrades agree, then our fleet can go to Taiwan for supply or repair. If they refuse, then we can't use the strong one. I believe that if our maritime interests are more consistent, the Chinese side will not allow our fleet to use their ports. But I want to emphasize one point in particular, this is not a concession, nor can it be forced, everything is based on communication. ”

Sverdlov sneered: "This is tantamount to saying nothing. ”

Li Xiaofeng shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "That's better than letting the relationship between the two countries completely collapse and let comrades and brothers become enemies." That chauvinism cannot be applied to Huaxia. We must admit that they are a great power on the same level as the Soviet Union, and not a lackey of the Soviet Union. Only with the right mentality can we maintain a long-term friendship and long-term cooperation. That kind of adventurist method of focusing only on temporary interests is absolutely short-sighted in politics and absolutely unacceptable! ”

Li Xiaofeng's counterattack made Sverdlov very annoyed, in the past two years, no matter what he says, someone has to go against the tune and raise the bar, Xiao Si can't bear it anymore. This time on the Huaxia issue, he must call someone this board, and he must suppress someone's arrogance. Immediately he used his brain, and soon he thought of a good way to "get the best of both worlds...... (To be continued.) )
