Commentary on Chiang Kai-shek 李敖 10390Words 2018-03-16
Chiang Kai-shek lost the mainland, and under the clamor of anti-communist rightists in the United States, Truman also took the blame for "losing China" for Chiang.But Truman was unconvinced. After Mao Zedong announced the founding of the People's Republic of China, he clearly announced at the White House press conference on January 4, 1950 that he would no longer intervene in the Chinese civil war, would no longer provide any military aid to Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan, and even To evacuate overseas Chinese from Taiwan is obviously to abandon Chiang Kai-shek. In fact, according to the intelligence and judgment of the United States, Taiwan cannot be defended against the huge offensive that the CCP is about to launch.Although the United States does not want to see the redification of Taiwan, the general situation is over, and there is nothing to do. At least the Truman administration is ready to accept the irreversible facts and admit that a new China is also inevitable.Chiang Kai-shek was well aware of this. He had a letter to Hu Shih on May 28 (historically in the Hu Shih Memorial Hall). Judging from the content, it should be from 1950. What he was most concerned about was not the material aid from the United States, but the It is hoped that the United States will not recognize the CCP, and that the "ambassadors" Hu Shi and Gu Weijun will work hard in this regard.It can be seen that even Chiang Kai-shek is afraid that the United States will recognize the People's Republic of China at this moment.

...After World War II, North Korea became independent from Japan, and the hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union divided South and North Korea at the 38th parallel, just like the Chu River in the Han Dynasty. Richeng is nothing but "Donald Duck", while Stalin is Walter Disney.Truman not only sent troops decisively, but also sent the Seventh Fleet to patrol the Taiwan Strait in order to prevent the expansion of communism in Asia.All of a sudden, the United States intervened in the Chinese civil war again, angering the CCP to resist the United States, and the inadequacy of resisting the United States. Then it aided North Korea, and finally fought on the Korean peninsula. Beijing and Washington became sworn enemies, and relations deteriorated after 20 years. For a long time, let alone the issue of recognition.

This turning point was unexpected by Chiang Kai-shek. Just as Shao Yulin, his "ambassador" in South Korea, said: "The military threat we face from the Chinese Communist Party, and the diplomatic crisis of abandoning us by our allies, the United States, and the recognition of banditry, have all been caused by the Korean War. It broke out and the situation changed drastically, revealing a turning point." ("Memoirs of the Ambassador to Korea"), Leighton Stuart implied in his memoirs that if the Korean War hadn't erupted, the United States would have recognized the People's Republic of China. (Staurt, FiFty Years in China, P. 273-275) However, before the real turning point comes, there are still some thrills.When the Chinese Volunteer Army led by Peng Dehuai forced the U.S. troops to withdraw hastily to the south, causing the U.S. troops to suffer an "unprecedented" disastrous defeat, the United Nations once proposed to ask the CCP to cease fighting and then hand over Taiwan and Penghu to the CCP, but Mao Zedong refused to stop the war before the peace talks began. In the end, the offensive was blocked, forming a tug-of-war, and naturally he would not send Taiwan to his door. Only then did Chiang Kai-shek truly have a "safety guarantee" in Taiwan.

However, Chiang Kai-shek was not satisfied with being protected by the United States, and hoped that the United States would be involved in the anti-communist world war to help him counterattack the mainland and restore the country to avenge its shame.So as soon as the Korean War broke out, he said that he could send three elite divisions to participate in the war in order to participate in the anti-communist war.Jiang was willing to send troops and sacrificed himself, but others did not.The coalition forces fighting against South Korea are mainly the U.S. military, but there are also some troops from other countries, such as the United Kingdom, which has recognized the CCP, and of course they are unwilling to fight alongside Chiang Kai-shek's troops.The main thing, though, was that Truman didn't even think about it.When asked whether he had carefully considered the issue of Chiang Kai-shek sending troops to North Korea, Du said:

Careful ass.What use would his army be?Those armies were never able to fight a fucking good fight.We gave him 350 million worth of armaments, and as a result his 5 million men surrendered to the 300,000 Communists between Peking and Nanking.The Communist Army then used the equipment to drive Chiang Kai-shek and his disciples out of China.I'm telling you, "he never looked like one". (He never was any damn good.) (Miller. Plain Speaking. P. 282-283) It can be seen that after the outbreak of the Korean War, although Truman's China policy changed, his contempt for Chiang remained the same.The U.S. military sent MacArthur to Taiwan to tell Chiang that it was "not suitable" to use his troops.The arrogant Mai Shuai should have brought the news, but what was really said in front of Jiang, only the two of them and God know.After Mai left Taiwan, Chiang's spokesman said that Chiang and Mai had the same opinion.This unanimity is obviously that although Mai Shuai did not want Chiang to send troops to North Korea, he encouraged Chiang to counterattack the mainland.This was against Truman's policy, so Truman specially sent Harriman (Averell Hardman) to Tokyo to talk to MacArthur, admonishing Chiang's desire to use Taiwan as a springboard to counterattack the mainland.Mai said that he had no intention of letting Chiang drag the United States into the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and he reiterated that obeying the president's orders is the bounden duty of soldiers, but soon Mai said that he would encourage Chiang Kai-shek.Du ordered Mai to withdraw the statement, but it was circulated.When the CCP crossed the Yalu River, right-wing politicians openly supported MacArthur's argument of encouraging Chiang to counterattack. Mai also repeatedly advocated the use of Chiang's army and bombed the Northeast to expand the war. (See Miller, Plain Speaking, Ch. 24) However, the Third World War that Chiang Kai-shek was looking forward to was exactly what Truman tried to avoid, so he fired MacArthur regardless of any political consequences.

In the 1952 U.S. general election, General Dwight Eisenhower was elected president, which revived the anti-communist Republican Party. In his State of the Union address in February 1953, the new president stated that he would no longer restrict Chiang Kai-shek’s military activities in mainland China. , and Eisenhower’s Secretary of State John F. Dulles (John F. Dulles) was an anti-communist general during the Cold War. He had a special affection for the anti-communist Chiang Kai-shek.This development led to the "Sino-US Mutual Defense Treaty" at the end of 1954, which provided Chiang Kai-shek with a military umbrella, and at the same time tied him down, preventing him from casually counterattacking the mainland and involving the United States. (See Kirkendall, A Global Power, p. 104) In short, the old Americans came to help Chiang Kai-shek again. By the 1960s, they had provided more than four billion US dollars in aid; Government" as "the only legitimate Chinese government".Chiang Kai-shek finally settled down in Taiwan, settled down in the cracks of the global Cold War confrontation, and enjoyed the long-term stability rarely seen in his life.

It is stable, but not restless.He knew that Lao Mei was most angry with him for using others for selfishness, and he thought it was one of the main reasons for losing the mainland.So after retreating to Taiwan, in order to win the favor of Lao Mei, on the one hand, Chen Lifu, the head of the CC that Lao Mei disliked, was recruited into the army. We know from the telegrams sent by Leighton Stuart to the State Council that he repeatedly suggested to Jiang that Chen Lifu leave China and go to the United States for inspection. Party politics, and once called for the "dissolution of the cc clique" (see Rea & Brewer ed., the Forgotten Ambassador, p. 131, 137, 288). On the other hand, Wu Guozhen was appointed as the provincial chairman, and Sun Liren As the commander-in-chief of the army, it is to show that people are only talented and public, and to show that they are democratic and enlightened.Even if Lao Mei herself chooses the two important civil and military positions, Wu and Sun are none other than Wu and Sun.However, after Laomei assisted Chiang, Wu and Sun had little external impact, and internal problems immediately surfaced.Democracy, enlightenment, talent and ability are not conducive to the control of power. More importantly, if this civil and military builds prestige and power, even if it cannot shake his own position, it will definitely become the path for his son to go to power through the country. stumbling block.The disposition of Wu and Sun started brewing after Eisenhower came to power.Knowing the source of the event helps to understand the appearance of the event.

Wu Guozhen was born in Hubei in 1903. He was born in Tsinghua University. In 1926, he received a Ph.D. in Political Science from Princeton University in the United States.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he became the mayor of Shanghai Special City. When the situation in the mainland reversed, there were not many KMT officials who fled to Taiwan, but Wu Guozhen's official career was still prosperous, and he became the "Executive Yuan", "Commissioner of Political Affairs" and "Chairman" of Taiwan Province. The obvious cause is in line with the standard of Laomei's theory of talent.However, this term of the provincial "chairman" ended up having an affair with the Kuomintang Central Committee, and finally resigned.Before he resigned, he asked for sick leave for a while, and handed in his resignation letter for a while. There was already an undercurrent.

Although Wu Guozhen lost the "provincial chairman", he still retained the "political committee member" in the official line.He didn't want to do it, so he asked to resign five times, but none of them were approved by Chiang Kai-shek. Obviously because the residual value was not lost, he no longer insisted, but only wanted to go to the United States.Because he was just unhappy and not dead, his trip to the United States was approved.After Wu Guozhen took his wife to the United States, he didn't say anything at the beginning. Unexpectedly, the "Presidential Office Secretary-General" Wang Shijie "fudged fraud and failed to fulfill his duties" case occurred in Taipei. .Wu Guozhen is sitting on the bench in the United States, the more he sits, the more he will feel uncomfortable, so he writes a statement and sends it to various newspapers in Taipei to refute the rumors.The newspapers in Taipei did not dare to publish it, so they sent it to Zhang Qiyun, secretary-general of the Central Party Committee; Zhang Qiyun also did not dare to publish it, so he sent it to Chiang Kai-shek;Wu Guozhen's father in Taipei came forward again, and then sent the manuscript to various newspapers in Taipei, requesting publication, but all newspapers refused to accept it. Wu Guozhen became popular and showed his hand in the United States, forcing Chiang Kai-shek to publish it. On February 7th, "Central Daily".The announcement was dated January 15th, but it took 23 days before it was published. Chiang Kai-shek thought that the matter could be settled, but it was too late. Follow it up.However, this kind of criticism is still called empty, such as "undemocratic", "too authoritarian", and "some people think that fighting communism must adopt communist methods", etc. After all, there is no evidence for it. Unexpectedly, the CC faction in the Kuomintang was going to show off, and in order not to let Wu Guozhen refute the rumors so arrogantly, they decided to impose sanctions. The method was that Zhang Daofan, Wu Guozhen's old classmate in Nankai, "President of the Legislative Yuan", came forward and opened the knife in the "Legislative Yuan".On February 26, Zhang Daofan raised a question as a "legislator", and it appeared in the newspaper on the 27th.But Wu Guozhen was very powerful, and he fought back on the same day. On the 27th, there was a report from the Chicago United Press and on the 28th, from the New York Central News Agency.On the same day, Wu Guozhen expanded the battlefield and sent a letter to the National Congress, in which he accused the Chiang government of "one-party dictatorship", "partyization of the army", "running secret agents", "no protection of human rights", and "no freedom of speech". , "thought control" and so on, and suggested that the "National Congress" find out the source of the Kuomintang's funds, cancel the party organization in the military, limit the power of the secret service, investigate the responsibility for suppressing freedom of speech, and abolish the Youth National Salvation Corps, etc., all of which are aimed at Chiang and his son come.This letter was distributed to every National Congress representative by the "National Congress" secretariat according to the resolution of the presidium on March 10. The tone of the letter is obviously not as polite as the "Wu Guozhen Announcement".

After Wu Guozhen sent this letter, the Kuomintang in Taipei did not know how powerful it was. Zhang Daofan held a press conference on March 4 to expose Wu Guozhen's scars, but the effect was counterproductive. In the sixth issue of the tenth volume of "Free China", there is Zhu Qibao's "Equivalent Discussions in the Development of the Wu Guozhen Incident", commenting on Zhang Daofan's stupidity, but Zhang Daofan's stupidity is the stupidity of the Kuomintang, and the stupidity of the Kuomintang is the stupidity of Chiang Kai-shek. Out of hand.Under Wu Guozhen's counterattack, Chiang Kai-shek was like a duck walking in the middle of the road in the middle of the day, dizzy and stupid.In the end, it was found that Zhang Daofan-style politicians were not enough to guard against traitors, so intellectuals who learned from Ashi were brought in, and everyone came to put on a show. This is the so-called joint refutation of the Wu Guozhen incident by university professors.The joint name was published in the newspaper on March 17. First, 75 professors from National Taiwan University, including Mao Zishui and Shen Gangbo, appeared on the stage.Fifty-nine professors including Huang Junbi and Guo Tingyi from Normal University (called "Taiwan Provincial Teachers College" at the time) appeared next.The lack of individuality of intellectuals under Chiang Kai-shek's rule has been clearly revealed in these two joint documents.The intellectuals didn't know how to pull their own wild shit, but were busy wiping the Kuomintang's ass, defending the Kuomintang over and over again, and doubting Wu Guozhen's character.University professors blame Wu Guozhen for not speaking in Taiwan, but only in the United States. But according to the Kuomintang system, can Wu Guozhen speak?Dare to speak?How can you blame Wu Guozhen for what you can't do?As for the so-called freedom of speech in Taiwan, "you can speak freely", "freedom of assembly and association", and the protection of the political work system and the National Salvation Corps system, etc., are naturally written by Quxue Ashi. The result of such escort by high-level intellectuals is just another Just a silly game.

On the same day, March 17, Chiang Kai-shek issued an order as follows: According to the report of the Executive Yuan, "Wu Guozhen, the political affairs member of this court, went to the United States on sick leave in May last year, and did not return with an excuse. Since February this year, he has continuously spread absurd remarks, slandering the government in many ways, in an attempt to confuse the international audience and sabotage the counteroffensive. In the grand plan of restoring the country, I plan to ask for dismissal. According to reports from all parties, the former chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government committed many violations of law and dereliction of duty, and he should investigate and deal with it according to the law. Please review and expressly follow the order." Etc.Check the history of Wu Guozhen's previous high-level government officials. Those who have been responsible for more than 20 years have betrayed the country and slandered the government within a few months of leaving the country. The crimes are obvious, and the post of political affairs member of the Executive Yuan should be removed from the position of the political affairs committee member of the Executive Yuan, so as to strengthen the discipline.As far as the reported violations and dereliction of duty by Wu Guozhen, former chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government, should be thoroughly investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law.This order. On the same day that the old man spoke, the National Assembly passed a temporary motion to "request the government to dismiss the case of Wu Guozhen." The results. The three proposals are: 1. Zhang Shenyan and other 21 people raised the case that Wu Guozhen, as a current official, openly made absurd remarks in the United States, slandered the government, and was close to treason. He should be severely punished. 2. Fang Nian Thirty-four people, including Xie, suggested that the government should remove Wu Guozhen, the current political affairs committee member who slandered the government, and investigate and deal with it. Guoyu will affect the future of counterattack and rejuvenation. It is profound and huge. It is recommended that the government immediately revoke the passport of the personnel and order them to return to China to deal with them according to law. The committee put forward three review opinions on the combined review of the above three cases: 1. Zha Wu Guozhen spread rumors abroad under the pretext of differing political opinions to cover up his various illegal acts while serving as the chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government, and sent the government to expressly remove him from government affairs Second, ask the government to thoroughly investigate Wu Guozhen's various illegal acts during his tenure as the chairman of the Taiwan Provincial Government, and investigate and deal with them according to law. Third, ask the government to order Wu Guozhen to return to China immediately to wait for investigation. During the meeting yesterday morning, when discussing the case, the whole audience The deputies unanimously approved it without objection.” On April 1, the KMT’s semi-monthly “Central” magazine, which “externally secrets, is included in the account”, published the Central Committee’s Party Disciplinary Action Code. The full text is: Party departments at all levels: CCP member Wu Guozhen made absurd remarks in the United States, wantonly slandered the party and the government, and violated party discipline. The central government resolved: "Wu Guozhen will be expelled from the party and handed over to comrades in charge of politics for investigation according to law." Inform, for.Seal of the Central Committee. Although Chiang Kai-shek denounced Wu Guozhen in Taiwan, dismissed him, thoroughly investigated him, prosecuted him, fired him, and asked him to "come back to me", Wu Guozhen didn't care. Three days later (March 20), he sent another letter To the New York Branch of the Kuomintang Central News Agency, the original letter is as follows: to whom It May Concern: I have come to your agency in Taiwan and overseas to disseminate malicious propaganda organized by Taiwan against Zhen. I would like to copy a letter from President Chiang that Zhen wrote to your agency today, and I ask your agency to forward it to the head office and All branches and offices will continue to publish.If your company refuses to do so, it should sue according to the law and demand compensation for reputation loss of 2 million U.S. dollars (counting the 13 million overseas Chinese and 8.5 million people in Taiwan, it should have exceeded this amount, and I will give you a leniency of two in millions of dollars).After Zhen received this money, except for the necessary litigation expenses, the remaining three-quarters will be returned to the US government, and the remaining one-quarter will be donated by the overseas Chinese in the United States to jointly organize the Fund Custody Committee for the relief of Chinese intellectual youth in exile. Zhen will never take a penny.This letter is limited to reply before the 25th of this month.Otherwise, legal procedures will be carried out, Yours sincerely Central News Agency New York Office (transferred by the "Consulate General" of the "Republic of China" in New York) Wu Guozhen Qi March 20 Wu Guozhen's one-person-to-group fights unfolded wave after wave.In the end, Wu Guozhen took out his trump card. He said that you forced me, and I really want to give evidence.So, he showed his hand and released some handwriting and secret documents that the Kuomintang Central Committee wanted him to do evil, and dropped it from the sky like an atomic bomb.Now Chiang Kai-shek was cold, knowing that Lou Zi had been stabbed.It turned out that Wu Guozhen had a secret weapon hidden in his hand.Wu Guozhen couldn't be offended.So the Taipei side issued an order, and all the attacks stopped overnight, and Song Meiling secretly went to the United States to meet Wu Guozhen, and after exhausting her tongue, she settled the Wu Guozhen incident.Finally, Wu Guozhen's son was also allowed to leave Taiwan. Chiang Kai-shek couldn't fix Wu Guozhen, so he had no choice but to ask Hu Shi to come forward and have another level of debate with Wu Guozhen.So Wu Guozhen and Hu Shi started a pen battle in the United States.On August 3rd, Hu Shi sent a letter to Wu Guozhen, and he learned a lot from A Shi's pen, among which the traces of being Chiang Kai-shek's thugs were very obvious.With Hu Shi's position, how did he get "269 judgments"?How did you get Wu Guozhen's "autograph"?This is of course provided by the Kuomintang.Based on Hu Shi's understanding of the Kuomintang organization, he certainly knew that Wu Guozhen's power over the security system was limited, nominal, and a painting company. Commander", the real power is never in the hands of the "Chairman". Hu Shi knows it clearly, so how can he criticize Wu Guozhen?Said Wu Guozhen was "a moral coward".This is unfair to Wu Guozhen, because whoever went with Chiang Kai-shek or was an official is not a "moral coward"?If he is not such a "coward", how can he be a high-ranking official?Hu Shi’s behavior was unrealistic, and Yin Haiguang questioned Hu Shi, saying that what Wu Guozhen said was the truth, what we wanted to say, why did Mr. Hu want to escort the Kuomintang in this way?Yin Haiguang said that in his later years, Hu Shi became a great wish, at least in the case of Wu Guozhen, Hu Shi was really a wish. Wu Guozhen is a high-level intellectual. He became an official under Chiang Kai-shek and entered the core of the Kuomintang's power.When he was no longer in his position, he started to fight back, but he was really scheming. We can regard him as having a "redemption" mentality.Chiang Kai-shek and his Kuomintang underestimated the damage done to him by the rebels.Although Wu Guozhen was not overthrown, he was almost exiled. Chiang Kai-shek still gained a little bit, and he got rid of a henchman's trouble for his son Jingguo. After the Wu Guozhen incident, the Sun Liren incident followed.General Sun is the most outstanding general in the Kuomintang group. No one can match his profound education; No one can match the reputation of sex.He felt foreign insults since he was a child, and determined to avenge his shame. After graduating from Tsinghua University and Purdue University, he joined the army.After studying at the Virginia Military Academy in the United States, after returning to China, he went to the north and south, and stood out. However, he was constrained by Chiang Kai-shek's direct line and was repeatedly excluded by the Huangpu army.After Chiang Kai-shek came to Taiwan, he played Sun Liren's card in order to win American aid. However, when all the birds were exhausted, Sun Liren was placed under house arrest on the grounds of injustice. Those who can understand Chiang Kai-shek's character will know that Sun's case was laid down very early, as early as Sun Liren's background.Sun is neither Whampoa nor more outstanding than Whampoa, and he is doomed to be excluded and envied by the "original sin".Coupled with his international reputation, he won the courtesy and respect of famous American generals Stilwell, Eisenhower, Patton, MacArthur, etc., which made the jealous and suspicious Chiang Kai-shek uneasy and suspicious.Once the situation stabilizes, the good general will be pulled down.Getting off the horse depends on the crime, so the unjust case came out. Sun Liren has profound military literacy and superb skills. He fought against India and Burma, and fought tough battles. When he counterattacked northern Burma, he won the reputation of "Oriental Rommel", won the British Royal Medal, and became a world-class star. After the war, he was invited to Europe. In patrolling the battlefield, no one under Chiang Kai-shek's command can be compared.In the Civil War between the KMT and the Communist Party, Sun Liren fought smoothly in the Northeast, but was suddenly squeezed out by Whampoa, and was sent to Taiwan to train recruits, so that the leaders of Whampoa's army could perform meritorious service.Sun Liren has recruits inside Taiwan and the support of the United States outside. "If you want a gun, you give it a gun, and if you want money, you give it money." Just like Han Xin, he has a great opportunity to "rebel". The superior is also like Han Xin.Sun Liren "wears the prestige of the Lord of Zhen, and coerces the merits of not rewarding", which made his superiors uneasy, just like Han Xin; Public rebellion", also like Han Xin.As for looking down on other generals, Han Xin "was born to be in the company of Yan Yanfan Yan Kuai and others", and Sun Liren "was born to be in the company of the first class of the Whampoa Army", just like Han Xin.The difference is that Han Xin ended up with a different head and a family of barbarians; Sun Liren was just imprisoned in Taichung, unable to avenge his grievances, accompanied by his family members, and sold "general flowers" to make a living. In February 1994, Taipei "New News" Weekly No. 361 and No. 362 jointly published long-form reports with eye-catching titles on the so-called "Great Discovery of the Sun Liren Case", "Shocking Exposure of CIA Confidential Files", "Exclusive Reporting on the latest declassified files of the CIA", thinking that "under the advocacy of American politicians and generals, Sun Liren agreed to launch a mutiny with the United States" and so on, it seems that Sun Liren's mutiny was implemented.In fact, the so-called "latest declassified archives" have long been used by American scholars; the main discussion of the so-called "exclusive report" is actually from Bruce Cumings's "The Origin of the Korean War" published by Princeton University in 1990. , The Origins of the Korean War), the second volume of the book, the part about Sun Liren was transcribed and translated.These declassified files only show the unilateral intention of the United States. Rusk once wanted to put Taiwan under the control of Mac Shuai (see Schaller, Douglas Mac Arthur P. 179) as late as June 1950. On the 19th, the U.S. State Department document still stated: The United States should tell Sun Liren through the most reliable private emissary that if he is willing to carry out a coup d'etat in order to put Taiwan Island under its military control, the US government is ready to provide him with necessary military assistance and advice. (Translated from Cumings, The Origins of the Korean War, P.508) The Korean War broke out on June 25. As soon as the Korean War broke out, the United States turned to support Chiang Kai-shek. As of June 19, the eve of the war, the United States was still making unilateral gestures and using a hypothetical tone, and Sun Liren was not positive. signs of response.The reason why Sun Liren was favored by the U.S. side again and again was, as Cummings said, “because Sun had trained at the Virginia Military Academy and could speak fluent English” (Cumings, The Origins of the Korean War, Vol. 2.P. 534), the US Chargé d’Affaires in Taipei, Robert Strong, told Cummings that the former US Consul in Taipei, Kenneth Krentz, contacted Sun Liren at the end of 1949 and told him, If he agreed to control the "National Government", the United States would fully support him, but "Sun flatly refused to do so." (Sun flatly refused to do so.). (See the same book, page 534; refer to page 872, note 85) The so-called "positive reaction" of Sun Liren in other archives is nothing more than "according to reports", "rumors" or "hypothetical plans". class, the only more concrete so-called evidence is according to Dean Rusk's recollection: In early June 1950, Rusk received a secret and personally handed-in note from General Sun Li-ren, commander of Taiwan's garrison...Sun had an astonishing suggestion: He was going to lead a mutiny to oust Chiang Kai-shek.The meaning of this mutiny is unclear, but Sun asked for US support, at least acquiescence.If Sun gains power, he will end corruption in the government and will be more flexible than Chiang Kai-shek against the Communists.The matter is for the President to decide.Rusk destroyed Sun's note to prevent possible leaks, knowing that if Chiang found out, Sun would be executed.He then went to see Acheson, who promised to discuss the matter with Truman.However, before the president made his decision, North Korea attacked South Korea.This turn of events probably saved Chiang's regime, as Chiang Kai-shek received further support from the United States thereafter. (See Schoenbaum. Waging Peace and War. P. 209) This passage is full of flaws, and it is inconceivable that Sun Liren would write a note to leave traces and handles, regardless of someone passing on the message (Admiral Kirk, Commander of the Seventh Fleet).Since Rusk said that the matter was decided by the president, it is even more inconceivable that President Truman and Secretary of State Acheson would destroy the secret paper without seeing it.Just imagine how many secret conspiracy documents do not involve human life. If Sun Liren is not afraid to die and leave a handle, why would Rusk care about General Sun's life?Also against the grain.Besides, Rusk obtained Secretary Sun's letter in early June, and the State Department documents show that as late as June 19, he was still trying to tell Sun Liren the intention of the US side, and to test Sun Liren's willingness, which can justify Rusk's slander.It is certain that the United States is interested in Sun Liren and his gestures, but Rusk said that Sun You asked the United States, how could it be so?The U.S. had a very clear intention to bring down Chiang, and repeatedly signaled to Sun that even if Sun said it, it would not startling Rusk, and he had already revealed his flaws.After all, Cummings is a knowledgeable scholar, and immediately suspected that "Rusk may wish to place the onus for the Couq on Sun" (see Cumings. The Origins of the Korean War. P. 537) to relieve Washington of its responsibility.However, there are still some scholars who continue to run wild with their imaginations, claiming that there is a reason for the incident, and jump to conclusions. They even say that Sun Liren has started a mutiny, and Chiang Kai-shek sent Liu Anqi back to the army from Hainan Island to stop it.When Jiang questioned Sun, Sun said that the CCP had instigated it, and Jiang accepted it, but Sun abandoned his plan (McGlothlen. Controlling the Wanes, p. 105). Although the "New News" magazine also noticed Cummings' suspicion, it still affirmed that there was such a secret note, and went downstream to change the time when Rusk received the secret note to late June instead of early June (see The journal, pages 29 and 30), also boasted that "using this journal to peel off cocoons, comb and verify, and finally discover the historical truth, clearing away the political fog that lasted for forty years." (Ibid., p. 18) What kind of cocoon are you peeling off?What comb did you climb?Although the archives were declassified, Sun Liren couldn't understand them. In fact, before Chiang Kai-shek withdrew to Taiwan, the United States had already wanted to abandon him, thinking that no amount of aid would help, so it repeatedly asked him to let him go, or to fully authorize him to capable people.It is no secret that the Americans repeatedly mentioned this to Chiang's face.Although Chiang Kai-shek's third resignation was due to Xu Bang's defeat, the pressure from the United States was also the main reason.It's no secret that Americans have a crush on Sun Liren. In fact, no matter in terms of military accomplishment, ability, or combat exploits, the Kuomintang generals are second to none. It's not just because they have stayed in the United States.The real historical truth is that although Sun Liren was full of complaints, looked down on Whampoa, and ignored Chiang Ching-kuo, he still loyal to Chiang Kai-shek because of a mistake.From 1949 to 1950, Sun Yu had enough time and conditions to unite with the United States to bring down Chiang, not to mention that Li Zongren also wanted to get rid of Chiang.Although Jiang was manipulating behind the scenes at the time, after all, he had resigned and lost his status. With the full support of the United States and cooperation from inside and outside, it was easy for Jiang to fall when he was in exile.Professor Xiao Gongquan once said that before he left Taiwan for the United States in the autumn of 1949, because he and Sun Liren were old friends of Tsinghua University and had a close relationship, Sun sent a jeep to pick him up as usual on weekends, and they talked about everything.When it comes to complaints, Xiao Xi said that if he has the determination, he is willing to write a draft, but Sun has no determination, and he has no intention of overthrowing Chiang. Therefore, Xiao said that "General Sun has courage but no plan", and those who have no plan have no political ambitions. It can also be circumstantial evidence that Sun Weichang has a so-called positive response to the US. From 1949 to 1950, Sun Liren could overthrow Chiang but did not want to overthrow Chiang. In 1955, when Sun had no way to overthrow Chiang, Chiang accused Sun of wanting to overthrow Chiang with a mutiny on trumped-up charges. If you want to get rid of Sun Er with excuses, it can be said that the ruthless will win and the kind will be wronged. From the perspective of historical positioning, the various grievances in the Sun Liren case are exactly like the Yue Fei case.The key to the establishment of the Yue Fei case was that "the case was closed with all the evidence, but Wu Mu was unconvinced."That is to say, to bite Yue Fei based on other people's circumstantial evidence, there is no evidence that Yue Fei himself admitted. It is "declaring the rebellion plan", which is also the same as ancient and modern; the charge in Yue Fei's case was "reproaching Chengyu", and the charge in Sun Liren's case was "insulting the head of state", which is also the same as ancient and modern.Zhao Gou, the culprit in the Yue Fei case, killed Yue Fei so as not to go straight to Huanglong and welcome back the two palaces; the culprit in the Sun case, Chiang Kai-shek, imprisoned Sun Liren so as not to hinder the succession of the prince, which is even more consistent from ancient to modern.The most wonderful thing is that Yue Fei himself did not "execute in accordance with military law", but "death with a special order"; , is also the same as ancient and modern.Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, etc. under Yue Fei "executed it in accordance with military law"; Guo Tingliang, Jiang Yunjin, etc. under Sun Liren were also tried under military law, which is also the same as ancient and modern.The difference is that in the case of Yue Fei, some criminals were "sent to the prefecture's military administration two thousand miles away"; Taiwan is too small, so they had to be sent to the Green Island police station hundreds of miles away.Wang Rongzu has a poem as evidence: Old age does not return to the old heroic appearance, I feel sad at this time. The intention is to fight for patriotism on the battlefield, I don't know that the yamen is always favoritism. Hurt Huang and Weep Li Vain Prison Snow (Huang sisters and Li Hong), Broken bones and chest Midnight sorrow (after hearing that General Sun was imprisoned, he woke up in the middle of the night and beat his chest and screamed in grief). It is difficult to hope that Zhao Qinping will be wronged, If you hear the angry article. two Bingyue specializes in chasing horses, Jiangnan is as bloody as a mountain. Scarred and never regretted, Forbidden internet is deeply sleepy for a long time. A hundred battles are high and rare, Spreading prestige outside the territory has become a problem. Heaven and man share innocence, And candle the east window to construct juniper rape. It is not difficult to find that it is not others who really created the unjust case, but Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Ching-kuo and his son. The reason is that Sun Liren opposed the political work system and made things difficult for the prince.It is wrong for the world to criticize Qin Hui instead of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou. ——Without Song Gaozong's "will" and "hard work", would Qin Hui overthrow Yue Fei?It was the father and son of the "leader" who really created the unjust prison in Fengboting.Sadly, the Yue Fei case is a relic of history many years ago, but the Sun Liren case is a living modern version, and there is an updated version.The mental skills of Jiang's father and son are much higher than that of Song Gaozong.Because in Song Gaozong's later years, one month after abdicating the throne to his son Song Xiaozong, his son issued an edict to "pursue Yue Fei to restore his official position, rebury him with rites, and ask for him to be specially hired", expressing his apology to Yue Fei.But what about Jiang's father and son?During their lifetime, Sun Liren was not only wronged to the end, even after their death, the widows also followed the scriptures and refused to be rehabilitated. Chiang Kai-shek's retreat to Taiwan seems to be a painful experience, no longer CC, no longer Whampoa, and the Kuomintang is about to be reformed.For a while, there was Wu Guozhen in Wen and Sun Liren in Wu, but it turned out to be an expedient measure.Once upon a time, this pair of civil and military, the exile of the exile, the imprisonment of the prisoner, and the Jiang regime became more "private", and privately went to his son.吴国桢说老蒋“爱权甚于爱国,爱子甚于爱民”,可称一针见血之见。其实知蒋甚稔的司徒雷登,在回忆录里亦曾指出,对蒋而言,要区分他个人以及他本国的利益,并不容易(Staurt,Fifty Years in China,P.276),也就是说公私根本不分。蒋介石自称革命一生,到头来在小岛上建立小朝廷,传子接代,套一句殷海光的口头禅:“这教人从何说起呢?”
