Chapter 61 Untitled

Although the US government's policy toward Japan has been loosened to a certain extent in the face of Malaya's tough stance, as the situation in North Korea deteriorates, the US government's purpose of building Japan into the "** pioneer" of East Asia has finally overwhelmed everything.

On September 4, 1951, the United States unilaterally invited 52 countries to hold a peace meeting with Japan in San Francisco.

The Malayan government flatly refused to participate in the Peace Treaty Amendment to Japan, in view of the inconvenience of the Peace Treaty Amendment to Japan, and stated that Malaya will never recognize the legitimacy of the Peace Treaty Amendment to Japan and maintain the right to take further action.

On September 8, 1951, forty-eight countries including the United States, Britain, France and other countries signed at the San Francisco Conference. Main content: Allies recognize that Japan has complete sovereignty over its territory and territorial waters; Japan recognizes North Korea's independence; Japan renounces all rights to Taiwan and the Penghu Islands; Japan agrees to place the Ryukyu Islands and Ogasawara Islands under the custody of the United Nations and the United States as the sole management authority; Japan may voluntarily join the collective security agreement; allies may enter into a bilateral agreement with Japan to station troops in Japan; allies renounce their claims for compensation to Japan. However, Vietnam, North Korea, and Mongolia who attended the meeting announced that they would not recognize the treaty. Zhou Enlai declared on behalf of the government of the People's Republic of China and did not recognize the legitimacy of the San Francisco Peace Treaty. On the day of the peace treaty, the United States and Japan also signed the Japan-US Security Treaty.

When the news came out, the Malayan government immediately responded fiercely, announcing that it would charge high water transfer fees for ships traveling to and from today to Japan and impose a strategic embargo on Japan.

This move will force ships traveling to and from Japan to travel more than 2,000 kilometers through Indonesia's Tianmu Strait, and the operating costs will be greatly increased. Subsequently, the foreign minister of the Malayan government began to visit and discuss the establishment of the Southeast Asian Nations with Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, and Indonesia.

After this incident, the relationship between Malaya and the United States became cold. However, it did not break down. The Malayan government began to officially strode towards the path of multilateral cooperation, trying to gradually get rid of the policy of relying on the United States in full.

On October 10, 1951, Wu Ming began to visit European countries and actively carried out multi-faceted diplomacy.

On October 15, 1951, Wu Ming first reached an agreement with the British government in London to establish ambassador-level diplomatic relations and began to cooperate in the construction of a giant dock and a large shipyard in Singapore.

On October 23, 1951, Wu Ming formally hired French experts in Paris to participate in the dredging of the Strait of Malacca. He also reached a bilateral trade and most-favored-nation agreement with France.

On November 5, 1951, the Malayan government rejected the US government's proposal and began to explore and develop South Sumatra alone.

On November 10, 1951, Malaya Motor Company and West Germany Volkswagen signed a cooperation agreement to establish Malaya-Volkswagen in Malaya, each of which accounted for 50% of the shares.

On November 15, 1951, Wu Ming signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of the Malayan government in Brussels with the European Coal and Steel Community, the predecessor of the European Community.

The Malayan government's series of dazzling diplomatic and economic cooperation activities are generally regarded by the world as venting its dissatisfaction with the San Francisco Peace Treaty hosted by the United States, demonstrating to the US government, and showing its tough moves of independent foreign policy. As a result, most of the American consortiums and enterprises excluded from the second phase of the Malaya construction are very dissatisfied with the government. It believes that losing a trading partner with huge potential is a foolish act.

The US government was silent on this, but in order to prevent Malaya from falling to the Eastern camp, it secretly continued to tell Malaya that the two countries should continue to maintain friendly and cooperative relations, and the United States is willing to continue to provide economic and technical support to Malaya, and repeatedly promised that Japan would never be allowed to embark on the militarist path.

On July 10, 1951, the Korean armistice negotiations were held in Kaesong. The Korean War entered the stage of talks and fighting. Due to the disparity between the two sides, the armistice negotiations lasted for two years. During these two years, an army of more than 2 million people was deployed intensively on the defense lines of both sides, building the longest, most complex and most solid fortifications in the history of world wars. The joint ** line of defense is composed of closely deployed artillery positions, tank groups and infantry, with several layers of positions reaching 300 kilometers in depth. Each layer of defense has built permanent fortifications and trenches. Each layer of defense has formulated a careful air force support plan, forming a

A three-dimensional defense network with strong firepower, this line of defense is called "an insurmountable abyss of death". On the earth defense line of the Chinese team, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers began to build the world's largest underground defense project. The total amount of earth and stone canals can be used to dig several Suez canals, along the confrontation line from west to east, and on the defense line of hundreds of kilometers, the permanent tunnels and traffic trenches underground are connected like spider webs. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers at the forefront live in the ground with complete facilities. The fire traps they set up can immediately cause devastating blows to any attacking enemy. These Chinese officers and soldiers who are waiting for the battle underground are called "the dragon in the cave".

"General Dean, do you really think that the American people need this Korean War? If the United States continues to carry out expansionary aggression, do you think you can continue to win?"

"No. I doubt we will win on any basis. I mean, even if we, the United States, put the war on the basis of launching all forces, cannot win the victory of the Korean War. Because China is at the back door of North Korea. China has inexhaustible manpower. Even if we occupy all North Korea, they will still fight us on the other side of the border. I can't see, I really can't see that anyone in the world has any way to conquer China. The United States has always wanted to conquer China, but I always feel that this seems to be a job that the United States has no hope. It has no hopeless mission and no hopeful purpose. It can be said that there is no one in China's broad land that you can attack. You have obtained Shanghai, but you have also felt that this is a job that the United States has no hope.

What have you obtained? They still have a huge land; even if you attack and go directly to Beijing, what have you achieved? China or China. Like Chiang Kai-shek, our hearts are big, but it is impossible to win the war. China is a vast and unlimited country. No matter where you go to this country, they have strong reserves in all directions. I think history is repeated in China. Each country has wanted to swallow China, but none of them have swallowed it. Not only 10 years, 100 years, but also 100 years later. Any country that attempts to conquer China will eventually be driven away by China, lost all its face, and even assimilated by China. This country is amazing and cannot be touched."

"You once said that the American people are willing to live in peace with the people of the world. Do you take this seriously?"

"Why don't you take it seriously? The American people are not wary, and most American people are afraid that peace will be taken away by war overnight. I now realize that many of the things the American government does tend to war, but many people don't realize this and follow the government to say that being terrible is the most terrible thing. But this is impossible. Who told them to be the people under the leadership of the US government? This is actually very normal. The people of every country follow their own governments. I want the people of other countries to listen to your words.

, This idea itself is naive and absolutely impossible. But one thing we can believe is that in the hope of peace, people in the world are the same, and those who do not have peace are crazy. However, there are still such crazy diseases. You and I should not be too naive, thinking that peace can be prayed for, but peace actually depends on force to fight for. We Americans know the best way to seize peace by force. Unfortunately, we Americans have gone too far on the road to seizing peace and made mistakes. It is a proof that we went to North Korea."

"This war against North Korea and the Chinese was a big mistake in Truman and Atcheson's Far East policy. So, do you agree?"

"The US official does not attach much importance to GCD China, but there is no way to do it. This is the education we receive. ** is a disaster, and we will fight with whoever we do it. But we are wrong. One day we will change this view and focus on GCD and Mao ZD. Mao ZD will make China stronger and make you have to be careful of it."

Dean was a prisoner of the Korean People's Army. After being captured in the Daejeon battle at the end of July 1950, he was locked up alone in a prisoner-of-war camp near Pyongyang. Dean was one of the first American generals to reflect on the United States' launch of the Korean War. The above records the main contents of the many conversations between Dean and the representatives of the North and the Central Koreans at that time.

In 1953, Eisenhower took office as US President and decided to end the Korean War that had worn the American public.

On July 27, 1953, the North Korean Armistice Agreement was signed. At this point, the three-year war from the North and South Korea that expanded and upgraded to a quasi-world war, with one million casualties finally ended. On the one hand, the 16-nation coalition led by the United States under the flag of the United Nations, took the lead in intervening in the Korean civil war and crossed the 38th line to the Yalu River on the Sino-North Korea border. Finally, he had to return to the 38th line to sign this armistice agreement without victory. On the other hand, he had been defeated repeatedly in modern times, not only could he not defeat the British and French coalition forces, the eight-nation coalition forces, but also the Japanese Chinese team. He fought hard and forced the strong enemy to sign a city alliance.

The Chinese who lay down in the Opium War finally stood up in the Korean War. From the perspective of victorious resistance to foreign aggression and regaining the respect of the world, the Korean War is undoubtedly a milestone in Chinese history. Mao ZD, Peng DH and the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army of the Volunteer Army are the heroes who erected this monument for all Chinese people.

After the Korean War, due to China's selfless and heroic battle, the Soviet Union finally dispelled China's concerns of Titoism and began to provide large-scale assistance to China's industrial construction. From then on, it laid the industrial foundation of the new China.

The Chinese generals who returned from the Korean War had a first-hand experience of the effects of advanced military technology and believed that the war had undergone fundamental changes. In the next five years, as Minister of Defense, Peng DH spent a lot of energy to transform the People's Liberation Army and tried to make it a modern professional army.

This is not the case for Mao ZD. For Mao ZD, the fact that the Chinese team with the US team was poorly equipped was a draw, which made him more determined in his belief that willpower rather than weapons determine the outcome of a war.

The Korean War was another decisive turning point in human history after World War II. This war turned China's unification from a realistic possibility to a vision of endless periods. The start of China's peaceful rise was delayed by about 20 years. China's domestic politics completely embarked on a Stalinist path due to the intervention of the Korean War factors. In the subsequent generation, the possibility of any other choice was ruled out for about 20 years. Contemporary China's irrational and even catastrophic national behaviors, such as violent land reform, suppression of counter-revolution, three anti-five anti-rightist, anti-rightist, the Great Leap Forward and even Cultural Revolution, can all be traced to a certain extent from this war; after the Korean War, the world fell into a long Cold War, and two groups of countries with different social systems led by the United States and the Soviet Union launched an unprecedented arms race in human history. The Soviet Union was dragged down by the national economy due to its incompetence, which triggered

Gorbachev-style reforms eventually led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the subsequent group of socialist countries in Eastern Europe, which led to the fundamentalist socialist system practice that had been carried out for nearly 80 years in the modern world. Because China had a warning that the US military could not cross the 38th line before North Korea joined the war, it was ignored by the United States-led United Nations League. As a result, China did participate in the war. Therefore, in the later Vietnam War, the United States again warned China that the US military should not cross the 17th line and took it seriously. As a result, the United States' army never crossed the 17th line during the Vietnam War, thus avoiding the resurgence with China in Vietnam. Japan's major industries received a large number of orders from the war, and its recovery speed after World War II was greatly accelerated. As a crushing defeated country in World War II, Japan rose rapidly from the ruins after the war with the support of the United States, and became the biggest winner of the Korean War.

In 1954, with the military aid of the People's Republic of China, North Vietnam won a decisive victory over the French army in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu, and France withdrew from northern Vietnam. According to the resolution of the Geneva Conference in 1954, North Vietnam was temporarily divided on the 17th-degree north latitude, North Vietnam was ruled by Ho Chi Minh, and South Vietnam was under the control of Emperor Baoda. Then, Ng Tingyan launched a coup in Saigon and established the Republic of Vietnam called "Nan Vietnam".
