Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

Eisenhower was a five-star general (marshal) of the U.S. Army in World War II. Not only was he a famous general, but he was very popular and had a high political IQ, unlike a certain MacArthur.From World War II to the 50s, Eisenhower's life experience has almost no black spots, and his reputation among the people is extremely high.But on the other hand, Eisenhower really came from a commoner background (middle class entry line at best), which put him at a disadvantage against other candidates in the Republican Party, such as Robert Taft, who is second only to him in popularity.

Robert Taft's father was William Taft, the 27th President of the United States (1909-1913).

The more amazing thing about Old Taft is that after he became the president of the United States for one term, he also served as chief justice for 1921 years from 1930 to 9.

At the Republican National Convention, Eisenhower and Taft fought [-] rounds to a draw.Eisenhower had a huge fan base, and Taft had a huge family connection after he left.During the debate, the two dissed each other fiercely, and the battle reached a climax. Eisenhower's fan group decided to use weapons of criticism instead of weapons of criticism, and rushed forward to beat up Taft's campaign team.This level of fanaticism is somewhat similar to the fan base of traffic stars.

In fact, the votes of the representatives of the Republican Party had already been cast into the ballot box before the fight. After counting the ballot box, it was Eisenhower who defeated Taft, 595 votes to 500 votes.Other candidates include Earl Warren with 81 votes, Stassen with 20 votes, and MacArthur with 10 votes.

But how do you explain that the venue has become a team battle scene?The campaign team came back in red and gold, and Taft's group—not just his campaign team, but all the big conservatives in the Republican Party decided to be passers-by. Your Eisenhower campaign has nothing to do with me.This is tantamount to internal strife in the Republican Party, and more than half of the party's resources do not help Eisenhower campaign.

So from the end of July to mid-September 1952, Stevenson rubbed Eisenhower on the ground in terms of campaign campaigns, campaign propaganda, and opinion polls.Until mid-September 7, Eisenhower invited Taft, who had lost to him in the party election, to go fishing together.

……

Eisenhower: "Master Ta, do you support me as the speaker, cross it out, and become the president?"

Taft: "Ike, you have so many people supporting you, you can do without me."

Eisenhower got angry for a while, and looked around with his corner of the eye to see if there were any stones that could be moved...

Eisenhower: "Mr. Ta, don't run for election this time, and support me fully. If I am elected, I will support you as president next term."

Taft was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Stevenson must not be elected."

……

After the two men met and reached a settlement, Taft issued a brief statement announcing that the two were on good terms and wishing Eisenhower a successful campaign.Eisenhower also conceded, promising future patronage positions to some in Taft's campaign.Since then, the Republican Party has unified opinions, and everyone is united in pushing Eisenhower.Within a month and a half, Eisenhower's election was reversed, and he finally defeated Stevenson by a big score.

"Prime Minister, Stevenson is now denouncing McCarthy at campaign rallies, saying that McCarthy is a traitor and an internal saboteur. It may not be the case in the future.”

Negotiations resumed on July 7 have now been going on for three weeks, and Zhisi and Beijing also hold meetings every three or two days.The meeting is not only to discuss what the current United Nations military negotiating delegation has said or what details have been inadvertently revealed. It is also one of the issues that need to be clarified about the current thinking of the high-level US military and the direction of high-level US policies.

Vice Chairman Liu: "I think the United States will continue to do what McCarthy did. He is so high not because he really caught any Soviet spies, but because this kind of internal high-pressure policy can eliminate the president and the military. However, the change of US presidents does cause a problem, that is, the continuity of their policies is relatively poor. Some policies that can be implemented or not implemented by one president may be canceled by the next one.”

Prime Minister: "North Korea's armistice negotiations, now Truman wants to armistice a little bit, Taft said that there should be no armistice, but Eisenhower said that an armistice agreement can be considered. Whether or not the Korean armistice, in the eyes of the US high-level, is a national policy that must be implemented. Or will it swing with the change of president?"

Tang Hua: "If the war continues, the U.S. arms dealer will get rich, and some senior military officers who have interests in the arms dealer will get rich. But the top U.S. bureaucracy, including the president, will feel very uncomfortable. Ordinary capitalists in the U.S.—that is, Those capitalists who are not directly connected to the military industry will also feel bad. The general generals of the US military will also feel bad. As long as we continue to maintain a favorable situation on the battlefield, their general class will become more and more uncomfortable. In addition, the U.S. military Some people in business actually do not want the Korean War to continue. The United States is trying to contain the Soviet Union around the world. Regardless of whether the Korean Peninsula is at war or not, the US government will allocate huge sums of money to order military equipment and develop next-generation weapons. North Korea’s Relatively speaking, the war is reducing nuclear weapons and naval funding, and the nuclear industry and naval shipbuilding industry behind them cannot benefit from the Korean War.”

Liu Zhijian: "Today, the Zhisi summarized the news of the frontline troops, and the telegram sent back mentioned such a thing: In the 375 and 373 highlands in the northwest of Shangshang Village, the closest distance between our army and the US military's positions was less than 80 meters. In February 1952 There was a battle for positions, and it has been peaceful for half a year. A few days ago, the US military positions opposite our army proposed to exchange living supplies with the volunteers. After the commanders of both sides agreed, our side and the US side exchanged some in the middle zone. Cigarettes and food, the whole process was very peaceful and there were no accidents."

Vice Chairman Liu: "Frontline soldiers are tired of war."

Tang Hua: "This kind of incident may still happen in the future. The attitude of grassroots soldiers in the US military will not affect high-level decision-making, unless the entire battalion and regiment of the US military disobey and flee. But this anti-war attitude of US soldiers on the front line is also a problem for us. Favorable factors."

Prime Minister: "Let's go back to the detailed rules of the negotiation. Our position on the basis of the negotiation will not change. On the plains on the western front, we can retreat a few kilometers more, and the US military can retreat less, but we must retreat across the south bank of the Han River." I can see that they are very anxious about the attitude of the US side recently."

Tang Hua: "If they are anxious, it means that the 31st Infantry Division they have just transferred from Japan to the Korean Peninsula does not plan to stay for a long time. The strength of the Soviet Pacific Fleet and the Far East Force is much stronger than two years ago. The whole Japan only relies on one The defense of the First Marine Division is not enough."

Prime Minister: "The inner anxiety shows that they are not unacceptable to the conditions we proposed, but it will be a little embarrassing to accept them. We should let the negotiating delegation ahead stick to principles, fight hard with reason, and persevere in this long-term struggle."

……

After the afternoon meeting, Tang Hua went straight home.I called the computer to ask whether the comrades on duty, Wang Kun and Xie Xide, were off work. The on-duty officer replied that they were still working and the lights in the laboratory were still on.

Really exciting, has been up for 4 days.

Then a jeep arrived at the door, and Tang Hua, who had just finished dinner, was taken back to Haizi.

“协议第一条是今天下午5时达成的，”刘志坚说，“1952年8月7日下午5时。从熔岩里传递消息到华川花了一些时间，华川到志司、志司再到北京也有些延时。但总算在六点10分收到了电报。”

"1. Determine the actual contact line between the two sides (the Han River North Plain area is determined according to the second and third paragraphs) as the military demarcation line, and the time specified in the signed armistice agreement, each side retreats from this line 2 km to establish the principle of a demilitarized zone during a military armistice.

2. Considering the special terrain of the North Han River Plain, in order to completely separate the armed forces of both sides and avoid frequent battles, the Han River North Plain area as a whole is regarded as a demilitarized area. After the armistice agreement is signed, all troops, weapons, and ammunition of both sides will be withdrawn from this area. .

3. The scope of the North Plain of the Han River is: starting from the confluence of the Han River and Linjin River, the Han River goes up to Qingping Lake on the North Han River; Xiaocun, Suyiyi, Shangshang, Qingping Lake, the area enclosed by the above datum point and datum line;

4. The subcommittees of the two sides shall immediately determine the existing contact line in accordance with the previous principle, so as to define it as the military demarcation line, that is, the center line of the demilitarized area after the armistice.If the military armistice agreement has been signed within 30 days after the approval of this agreement and the above-mentioned military demarcation line and the specific location of the demilitarized area by the General Assembly of Delegations, the military demarcation line and the demilitarized area shall be No further changes will be made.

5. In view of the fact that hostilities will continue until the armistice agreement is signed, if within 30 days after the General Assembly approves this agreement and the specific location of the military demarcation line and the demilitarized area determined in the fourth paragraph above, the military armistice agreement If the agreement has not yet been signed, the subcommittees of the two parties shall, when the military armistice agreement is about to be signed, revise the above-mentioned military demarcation line and demilitarized area according to the changes in the actual contact line between the two sides, so that the revised military demarcation line and the military armistice agreement will be signed soon. The line of contact between the two sides is completely consistent and serves as the military demarcation line during the military armistice.

6. The status of the demilitarized zone of the Han River North Plain, if the negotiators of both parties do not raise any objection within 30 days before the delegation meeting approves this agreement, the military demarcation line and the demilitarized zone shall not be changed. "

At the beginning of the armistice negotiations, the two sides agreed that the armistice agreement should include a total of five articles, and the negotiation was to discuss the contents of these five articles.These six paragraphs sent by Shiji are collectively referred to as the first article.

There were more people in the evening meeting than in the afternoon. Not only did the chairman come, but the commander-in-chief who hadn't shown up for a long time also appeared.

Everyone read these six paragraphs carefully word by word, not daring to miss a single word.

After pondering the meaning of this telegram, Tang Hua, like everyone present, couldn't hide the joyful expression on his face.

From the north of the Han River to the south of Dongducheon and Paocheon, from the mouth of the Han River to Cheongpyeong Lake on the North Han River, the width is 40 kilometers from north to south and nearly 60 kilometers from east to west. After the signing of the armistice agreement, the U.S. and volunteers Withdrew together.

The U.S. military retreated across the Han River and patrolled the river on the south bank to show off its cuteness.This is a very good result for the U.S. military. There is a river as a natural barrier, and the defensive pressure is much less. In the 40-kilometer demilitarized zone, the enemy has enough time to deal with it if they want to rush over.There is also Incheon Port on the south bank of the Han River, which is enough as a logistics support point.And because the volunteers withdrew to the mountains to the north, Incheon Port is 50 kilometers away from the nearest volunteer artillery, which is very safe.

It is not a problem for the Volunteers to retreat from the perilous North Plain of the Han River.In the mountainous area in the north, from Ganyue Mountain to Xiaoyao Mountain, Guangyan Mountain, and then to the east, it is seamlessly connected with the stretching high mountains in the middle.By August 1952, the tunnel system of the Volunteer Army had been fully formed, and only some work of reinforcement and supplementation and improvement of standards remained.Suyu's previous estimate was also correct, such a line with the best terrain and short length could be defended by four armies.

Although the sixth article left a tail, the Western Front could not stop until all five articles of the armistice agreement were negotiated, but in the end it was the result of negotiations based on our baton.

"This step by the U.S. military is a bit too big," Su Yu said, "It's really too big. It feels like a fraud."

"The sixth paragraph left a tail."

"For the sixth paragraph to work, he has to use heavy troops to fight back and force us to the foot of the mountain. It is very dangerous for us to force the US military to the foot of the mountain."

Hearing Su Yu express his doubts, Tang Hua suppressed his excitement and recalled the information he saw in July and August.Su Yu's suspicion was justified, Tang Hua was also a little puzzled when he said this.

It is necessary to sort out the ins and outs of the incident from the beginning.

……

"Su Chief of Staff, Chairman, Commander-in-Chief."

Tang Hua stood up and said.

"This sudden step back by the U.S. military, combined with the clues revealed in the past week, the most reasonable explanation is that the South Korean army has mutinied or rebelled."

Chapter 229, the battle does not stop until Seoul is regained

The "8.3 Mutiny" in Hokkaido started when the 8th Division of South Korea gathered to protest and confronted the U.S. Army, and ended with the civil war of the South Korean Army.

In March 1952, the three South Korean divisions completed their training and returned home from Hokkaido.These three divisions, who have been personally trained by the First Marine Division and have been in closed training in Hokkaido for more than half a year, are proficient in manipulating American heavy artillery and tanks and armored vehicles. They are all qualified from soldier tactics to officer skills, and have shown impressive combat effectiveness after returning to China.The second batch of three South Korean divisions - the South 3th Division, the South 3th Division and the South 8th Division were also transported to Hokkaido in March 9. They were also placed high hopes by Syngman Rhee and the US military.

The military training in the first few months was all normal.Soldiers and non-commissioned officers trained in Hokkaido, artillery officers trained in Hawaii, and armored commanders were flown directly to the continental United States for training.Under the precepts and deeds of the First Division of the U.S. Marine Corps, this group of young sticks started from physical training, how to carry a gun and how to do exercises, and then basic tactical skills and squad tactics. The South Korean officers who returned from special training after three months led the soldiers Do battalion-level synthetic training.

In the sixth battle on July 7, although the news of the South Korean Army training in Hokkaido was not very well-informed, the news that the Volunteer Army once came to Seoul spread among the officers and soldiers.This is actually nothing. The news that really caused the riots was the resumption of the Sino-North Korean coalition-United Nations negotiations.

"I heard the gossip that the United States intends to give up the north of the Han River to the Chinese!"
