The Yugoslavia issue is not at the moment, so we can only discuss the China issue next. In fact, there is nothing to discuss in the China issue, because basically it can be said that the overall situation has been decided. In addition to Gansu, Xinjiang, and Qinghai, the entire north of the Yangtze River, there are also remnants of the Democratic Party Army. It can be said that the entire Central Plains has been liberated, and the remaining Democratic Party Army can only rely on the so-called Yangtze River defense line to defend.

However, this so-called Yangtze River defense line is really a sieve full of holes. According to the plan of Mr. Jiang and the Ministry of National Defense, the entire Yangtze River defense line is divided into two large war zones. The west of Hukou is the middle reaches of the Yangtze River war zone, which is under the command of Bai Chongxi, the chief military and political chief of central China, and has 40 divisions. The east of Hukou is the lower reaches of the Yangtze River war zone, which is under the command of Tang Enbo, the commander-in-chief of Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou garrison, has 75 divisions.

According to Hou Jingru (commander of the 17th Corps of the Scrape Army), Qin Yizhi (deputy commander-in-chief of Nanjing Garrison), Liao Yunze (deputy commander of the 9th Training Command of the 7th Pacification Zone) and others, the overall combat policy formulated by Mr. Jiang is: with the Yangtze River defense line as the periphery, the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou Triangle Zone as the focus, and the Songhu as the core, adopt a long-term defense policy to achieve the goal of perseverance.

It seems that this plan makes sense? And the total force is as high as 115 divisions, which can be said to be quite powerful. But the actual situation is not the case at all. From a strategic perspective, it is necessary to defend the Huai River. If you want to defend the Yangtze River, the Huai River area must be in your hands. If this part is lost, it means that the strategic depth and support are missing a lot. T can face the Yangtze River and directly cross the river. The problem is that in the so-called Xu-Beng Battle, the Democratic Party had already thrown away all the Huai River. In this way, it naturally fell into a comprehensive passive and could only defend passively along the Yangtze River.

What's bad is that the Yangtze River is too long. The defense line of a thousand and hundreds of kilometers requires a large amount of troops to defend. Unfortunately, the Crown Democratic Party did 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 be in the 40 divisions? Not to mention the 40,000 more people, should there be? Unfortunately, Bai Chongxi does not have so many people, and his forty divisions have a total of 250,000 people. Besides, Tang Enbo's 75 divisions look scary, but these 75 divisions have only 450,000 people in total. In other words, the 115 divisions of the Crown Army have an average of 600,000 people, which is at most the combat power of a brigade.

In fact, the divisions of the raid army probably lost even the combat effectiveness of the brigade, because the average 6ooo people counted the total number of non-combat troops such as the organs, logistics, etc. In fact, the only ones that can really fight these divisions are about 4,000, which is really equivalent to the level of the strengthening regiment. In the words of the Democratic Party, Tang Enbo put 450,000 people on the 79o-kilometer defense line, with an average of only 57o people per kilometer. It is difficult to form a line even if you hold hands, let alone face heavy strikes on Pla.

Let me put it this way, this so-called Yangtze River defense line is simply a tofu project. As long as Pla is willing, it can go over at any time. So why didn't Pla pass over immediately? The reason is very simple. Seeing that the DPP could not win on the battlefield, it could only use a delaying strategy. It was pitiful and shouted the slogan of peace and demanded peace talks again. The DPP agreed to give the DPP a chance to rebuild its home as soon as possible, and agreed to the peace talks.

But what is unexpected is that the "History of the Suppression of Rebellion" compiled by the Crown Democratic Party for this peace talk is: In early January of the 38th year of the Republic of China, although Xu Beng and the Central Plains were both successful, the second and third fields Liu and Chen bandits also suffered heavy casualties, with an estimated more than 400,000 people, and they urgently needed to be replenished to restore their combat strength; while the forest bandits in the fourth field fought against the Central Plains, although they had not fought fiercely, they rushed into the pass and rushed thousands of miles, especially for reorganization. The soldiers from the northern countries were not familiar with water and were preferentially treated for training. They felt that it was impossible to do so in one go. In desperation, they used the same trick again, disguised the political peace talks, and prepared for the bandits' crossing the river, gained enough time, and took the opportunity to attack the morale of our military and civilians, dismantled the fighting ambitions of the Crown Army, and paved the way for their military operations.

Well, after reading this passage, Li Xiaofeng really admired Mr. Jiang's shamelessness. He was obviously forced to step down and pull Vice President Li to come up to fight for time and use the so-called peace talks to delay the military strategy, but he said so generously. He pretended to be scrambling the Democratic Party without peace talks. What needs peace talks is the Communist Party. This is really a fool.

Everyone knows that after the raid of the Democratic Party’s elite corps, the entire army has been destroyed, and Pla is at the time of morale. Although Pla is indeed tired of continuous combat, in comparison, the raid of the army cannot even get the heads. Doesn’t it take more time to rectify the fragmented remaining soldiers?

Speaking of this, I have to admire Mr. Jiang’s thick black learning again. He can describe failure as success and fleeing in a panic as a turn. This ability to reverse the black and white fingers as a deer as a horse is indeed the material for a natural politician.

Of course, Mr. Jiang's life was quite difficult at this time. Although he could embellish the peace in words, the actual situation would slap him in the face. As his central direct power was greatly weakened, the local factions had the capital to not buy him, and even rush him to step down.

Military failure, political cohesion, and the economy completely collapsed due to the gold coupons. The morale of the military has been completely played. If an ordinary person accepts the failure ending, it is amazing that he will just live and wait for death. But Mr. Jiang is not ordinary. He has experienced this similar unfavorable situation several times, and he is also familiar with the means to deal with this situation. Isn’t it just to step down? After he goes off the field, Mr. Jiang has played it twice, and there is nothing wrong with playing it again.

However, the situation this time was different, because at this time, I hoped that Jiang would step down, or that those who drove him out of power included several domestic and foreign forces. Let’s talk about China first, Jiang’s mortal enemy, Li and Bai of the Gui clan, were the key forces to destroy Jiang’s platform. When the Civil Affairs Government elected the president and vice president, Jiang hoped that Sun Ke would set up the platform with him, not to disrupt the situation, especially Li Zongren, who did not want him to be against him repeatedly and repeatedly came out to run for election. But in the end, it was Li Zongren who was elected as vice president, which can be said to have directly added the division within the Civil Affairs Party.

Not only Li Zongren's Guangxi clique demoted Jiang's Taiwan, but US President Truman was also extremely disgusted with Jiang. After several failed major battles, Truman was completely disappointed with Jiang and knew that no matter how much aid he was given, he would throw it into the bottomless pit, so he simply cut off the aid to the Democratic Party. This also caused the complete collapse of the relationship between Jiang and Truman.

Of course, Mr. Jiang still hopes to receive US aid, but he puts his hope on another person, who is a big joke in the history of the US presidential election Dewey (the teacher of Hu Shi and Tao Xingzhi).

At that time, Dewey, who represented the Republican Party of the United States, once had a very high voice and was in a strong position to win the White House. Therefore, Mr. Jiang was also preparing to bet on Dewey in order to obtain a lot of aid after he was elected. Mr. Jiang once sent a core figure Chen Lifu to the United States, nominally participating in the "World Moral Reorganization Games", but in fact, he communicated with Dewey in advance. In order to obtain Dewey's substantial support, Mr. Jiang invested considerable funds and even printed slogans to congratulate Dewey in advance. After Chen Lifu returned from the United States, he even swears to Shanghai News World Weekly: "Dewey's election as president of the United States is almost certain to be unswerving... If Dewey is elected, an extraordinary approach should be taken to assist China with military assistance."

But what makes people laugh is that Mr. Jiang bet the wrong treasure. Who would have thought that Truman turned defeat into victory in the belittlement of public opinion like Roosevelt back then and was successfully re-elected as US President.

In this way, Mr. Jiang's face was naturally beaten. As a last resort, he could only write a letter to Truman with shamelessness. In the letter, he said: "If the US government can see a firm declaration, it will maintain the morale of the army and the confidence of the people."

But Truman is also a master in settlement of the score in the autumn. He was already angry about Jiang's efforts to support Dewey before. How could he have a good look at Jiang at this time? He directly rejected Jiang's request, and even such a symbolic declaration was flatly rejected.

However, Mr. Jiang did not give up. Seeing that the road was not working, he thought of his wife's diplomacy that had been tried and done in World War II, and sent Soong Mei-ling to the United States to appeal to the US government for assistance to the Democratic Party again. However, this move failed this time. Marshall, the "old friend" of the then US Secretary of State, only allowed Soong Mei-ling to visit the United States in his private capacity, and rejected all the package of requests to aid China by Soong Zi-wen.

In this situation of internal and external difficulties, Jiang can't even get out of the way. Of course, what we want to discuss here is not the changes in the situation in China caused by Jiang's departure. To be honest, it is insignificant for Jiang's departure at this time to leave the country. As long as the Communist Party is not stupid, there is no chance to get out of the Democratic Party.

So will the Communist Party be crazy? This is simply impossible. In fact, the Communist Party Central Committee has formulated a plan for the battle of crossing the river. As long as the Democratic Party does not make a satisfactory reply before the limited date of the peace talks, the pla crossing the river will be established and unstoppable. For the Soviet Union, what is most concerned about now is not who wins and who loses in China, but the future policy issues towards China.

Some comrades may be wondering again. Does the Soviet Union's policy toward China still need to be discussed? Isn't it just comrades and brothers? Having said that, there is an old saying that brothers can settle accounts clearly. Brothers Ni Qiang have never had any past. If you don't settle the accounts clearly, no matter how good the relationship is, it will become enemies. So what are the current accounts between the Soviet Union and T-Communist Party?

Simply put, it is the following points: First, the Northeast issue, second, the Taiwan issue, third, the border disputes between the two countries left over from history, and fourth, the issue of aid to China.

Let’s talk about the Northeast issue first. When the Civil War broke out in China, in order to prevent the Democratic Party from entering the Northeast, the Soviet Union squeezed the Democratic Party away by garrisoning troops. This retained a large rear for the T-Gong. Although the industrial base in the Northeast was far behind the Soviet Union, it was a cheating for the T-Gong. It can be said that without the Northeast, the Democratic Party, there would be no Pla faster than in history to eliminate the Democratic Party.

Now, the Democratic Party is about to be defeated, and the Soviet Red Army stationed in the Northeast has no reason to continue to stay. The Northeast is very important to the Soviet Union because of its relations. There is a group of senior Soviet leaders who have the idea of ​​continuing to "concession" in the Northeast.

However, Li Xiaofeng firmly opposes: "From the current interests, the Northeast of the Concession is of course a good choice. But from the long-term interests, this approach is neocolonialism, which will inevitably arouse the disgust of the Chinese people of the Republic of China and even give the people of the world a very bad impression. The United States, Britain and other enemies will also spare no effort to attack us. Therefore, this is not the best way. In order to maintain the traditional friendship between us and make long-term plans for the future, we should withdraw troops from the Northeast as soon as possible."

This question is pretty good. When a fairy presents facts and reasoning, most old revolutionaries can understand it. However, when Li Xiaofeng proposes to deal with Taiwan like the Northeast and return it to T as soon as possible, it causes controversy.

Sverdlov first proposed: "Taiwan is different from the Northeast. Our Red Navy needs Taiwan, a large island facing the Pacific Ocean. If our fleet is here, we can break the United States' blockade of the first island chain without any trouble. As we all know, the T-Gan has almost no maritime power, and it will not be possible to expand the ocean navy for a long time in the future. It is a waste to hand over Taiwan to them!"

After a moment of saliva, he saw that a certain immortal was about to speak and rushed to say, "What's more, Taiwan has been ceded to Japan before, and we took it back from Japan. From this perspective, Taiwan should belong to us."

"Absurd!" Li Xiaofeng gave Sverdlov two words, and he criticized seriously: "This is the most shameless and unreasonable statement I have ever survived. Is this still the words of a Bolshevik and a Marxist? It is simply a pure colonial argument. Comrade Yakov, please note that in the Cairo Declaration of the Cairo Conference, we had promised to return all the illegally occupied territories that Japan had illegally occupied across the river to their masters, including Ryukyu and Taiwan. Yes, Taiwan is particularly important to the Red Navy, but Taiwan is a reasonable and legal territory of China after all. No matter what reason to occupy it, it is a hooligan act."

These remarkable and reasonable words forced Sverdlov to give up the idea of ​​directly annexing Taiwan and instead proposed a new idea: "In that case, can we rent some ports in Taiwan as bases of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet? There is no problem, right?"

In response to this, Li Xiaofeng asked back: "Comrade Yakov, what would you think if the United States asked us now to rent Kronstadt? Would you be happy?"

Sverdlov blushed and argued: "This is not a nature! We are completely from the perspective of safeguarding the interests of the world's proletariat. How can we confuse with imperialism?"

Li Xiaofeng sneered and continued to ask back: "What if the comrades from China clearly express their rejection?"

Sverdlov couldn't speak because it was possible, but he never thought that the attitude of T-Gong's in this regard was important. He explained again: "Then try to do your job!"

Li Xiaofeng laughed again and said, "It's not okay to do work?"

Sverdlov couldn't speak now because the following words were very simple. If the work was not working, there were only two results, one was to get out of the way, and the other was to take over. However, the first of these two results was something that Xiao Si was unhappy to see, while the second was that he could only understand and not speak out. If he said it openly, he was really a hooligan. But now Sverdlov cannot be a hooligan openly because it was politically incorrect.

However, Li Xiaofeng repeatedly asked back and forth, which made Sverdlov angry. He asked: "Then let the first island chain be blocked? Is this your strategy?"

This question is sharp and difficult to answer. After all, for the mainstream view of the Soviet Union, the temptation to break the blockade is too great. It is obvious that you can break the blockade without doing it. Isn’t that a fool?

Li Xiaofeng's answer was: "I can come up with only one way, that is, speak well in business. When our fleet needs it, apply to China. If the comrades of China agree, then our fleet can go to Taiwan to replenish supplies or repair. If they refuse, then we cannot use strong ones. I believe that if the maritime interests of both sides are more consistent, China will not allow our fleet to use their ports. But I want to emphasize one thing in particular, this is not a concession, nor can we use strong ones. Everything is mainly about communication."

Sverdlov sneered: "This is like saying nothing."

Li Xiaofeng shrugged indifferently: "That is better than letting the relationship between the two countries be completely destroyed and turning comrades and brothers into enemies. The chauvinism style cannot be used in China. We must admit that they are major powers of the same level as the Soviet Union, not lackeys of the Soviet Union. Only by adjusting our mindset can we maintain long-term friendship and cooperate for a long time. The adventurous approach that is short-sighted and focused only on temporary interests is absolutely short-sighted in politics and absolutely undesirable!"

Li Xiaofeng's counterattack made Sverdlov very angry. In the past two years, no matter what he said, someone had to sing the opposite tune and argue. Xiao Si was already unable to bear it. This time on the issue of China, he had to call someone this board and suppress someone's arrogance. He immediately started to think about a good way to "the best of both worlds"...
