1, a good impression of Taiwan Province province.
19461October 2 1 day, Mrs. Jiang Kai visited Taiwan Province province and was deeply touched: "Taiwan Province province has not been infiltrated by * * * party elements, which can be regarded as a pure land, and should be actively built in the future to make it a model province."
The influence of the * * * production party in Taiwan Province Province is limited, and the political environment in Taiwan Province Province is simpler than that in Chongqing and Guangzhou, and there is a strait barrier militarily. For China, which lacks navy and air force, Taiwan Province Province is safer, which may be an important reason why Jiang decided to take Taiwan Province Province as the base.
2. Recommendations from Tao Xisheng, Zhang Qiyun, Jiang Jingguo and Chen Cheng.
Tao Xisheng said to Chiang Kai-shek: "I want to revive from Taiwan Province Province, which is the hope of the future, because Britain and the United States are sea power countries. Once they are based in Taiwan Province Province, they can deal with the United States on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and there are still many things to do. "
From a geographical point of view, Jiang made suggestions, and he mentioned several reasons:
First, Taiwan Province Province has a vast strait and high waves, which can temporarily stop the * * * army without navy and air force from pursuing their victory;
Second, Taiwan Province Province, as the base of anti-* * revival, has advantages over other regions, because its land utilization rate is high, food and agricultural products can meet the needs of the military and civilians, and Taiwan Province Province has convenient transportation, good industrial foundation, good economic development and easy military defense. It is located in the western Pacific waterway, connected with the strategic defense line of the Far East of the United States, and Taiwan Province Province has a feeling of returning to the central government after 50 years of Japanese rule.
Extended data:
1On April 23, 949, the People's Liberation Army occupied its "capital" Nanjing after comprehensively breaking through the "Yangtze River defense line" carefully planned by Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek, who was in a state of disintegration and anxiety, immediately held an emergency military meeting in Dinghai, Zhejiang.
At the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek quoted a so-called "last words" of Dr. Sun Yat-sen: "Foreign wars can't lead to Sichuan, and civil wars can't lead to Taiwan." This shows that his withdrawal from Taiwan Province Province originated from the "big idea" determined by the former Prime Minister in advance.
This effect of "foreign war can't enter Sichuan" has been confirmed by War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's escape from this robbery in Kumei Mountain for eight years. Today, only the holy word "Civil War never leaves the Bay" can be trusted. After the meeting, Chiang Kai-shek made a decision: to withdraw from Taiwan Province Province and establish a base area for "counterattacking the mainland and reviving the party and state".
To this end, he took a series of emergency measures. Command the main force of the Kuomintang navy and air force south, with Taiwan Province Province as the center, focusing on attacking Shanghai, Fujian coastal areas and southwest areas.
And as early as194865438+February 24th, Chiang Kai-shek appointed confidant Chen Cheng as the chairman of the Taiwan Province government and Jiang Jingguo as the chairman of the provincial party department. Then Chen Cheng was added as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Province provincial police and the chairman of the provincial party department.
At the same time, Jiang appointed another confidant Tang as the commander-in-chief of the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou garrison on 1949 18, put 400,000 troops under Tang's command, and ordered Yu Hung chun and Demao to immediately transfer 370 million US dollars of gold, silver and foreign exchange from the "national treasury" to Taiwan Province Province; At the same time, "Central Bank" and "Bank of China" will be deposited in private accounts to avoid withdrawal.
Shortly thereafter, Jiang put forward a bigger idea with a "strategic vision", that is, to establish a maritime chain connecting Qingdao and Changshan Islands in the north, Zhoushan Islands in the middle and Taiwan Province Province and Hainan Island in the south, so as to block the mainland more comprehensively.
1948165438+10, in view of the development of the situation in China, the State Council asked the Joint Chiefs of Staff to make an estimate: "Once the * * * production party comes to power in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province is under the rule of the Kremlin-guided government, what kind of strategic impact this situation will have on American security."
After some arguments, the Joint Chiefs of Staff formed a memorandum with the original name of "Strategic Significance of Taiwan Province Province" on1October 24th, and submitted it to the State Council. The memorandum concludes that it is in the best interests of the national security of the United States to prevent the * * * production party from ruling Formosa (that is, Taiwan Province Province).
But considering that the global front of the United States is too long, it is not enough. It is suggested to strive for diplomatic and economic means to prevent the * * * production party from taking power in Taiwan Province Province.
For political reasons, Chiang Kai-shek resolutely resisted the above-mentioned position of the United States in order to safeguard the interests of his own group and, more importantly, to ensure the safety of the last refuge.
According to Jiang Jingguo's diary, Chiang Kai-shek instructed: "Britain and the United States were afraid that Taiwan Province Province would not hold on and wanted to return it to the United States for management, while Britain actively encouraged it behind the scenes to indirectly strengthen its momentum in Hong Kong.
I am most worried about this issue, so I want to make a firm statement to the United States that I will defend Taiwan Province Province to the death, ensure my territory and do my duty as a "national", and I will never hand it over to the allies. If he is willing to help me defend with his strength, he will not refuse. "
Soon, the People's Liberation Army crossed the river, Nanjing and Shanghai were liberated one after another, and the domestic situation in China changed dramatically. Chiang Kai-shek, who had no place in Chinese mainland, had to retreat to Taiwan Province Province.
