At the end of 1952, Chen Geng was also present at the Huachuan armistice negotiations.
After the two sides reached an agreement on the military demarcation line, how to supervise the withdrawal of troops and how to supervise the demilitarized zone is the next topic.
The demilitarized zone is very large, and an armistice monitoring committee is needed to ensure its implementation, and this armistice committee will continue to exist for decades until there is no hostility between North Korea and South Korea.
The United Nations military proposed that the United Nations send an armistice monitoring committee to formulate rules based on the model of United Nations peacekeeping operations.
China and the DPRK expressed their opposition: the United Nations was a participant in the Korean War, and your United Nations army fought against us, and the armistice agreement cannot be mediated or supervised by the United Nations after the war.
United States: (Can I say that the United Nations did not recognize the United Nations Army in January 1951, is the United Nations Army an illegal organization now?)
The two sides stalemate at the negotiating table for a while, and finally decided to make concessions:
It is still up to the United Nations to start a new copy of the peacekeeping operation and establish the Korean Armistice Monitoring Committee.However, the country sending military observers must be a country that has not participated in the United Nations Army.
The Armistice Supervision Committee should send military observers from 6 countries, a total of 6 military observers & the Armistice Supervision Committee, 12 assistants, several secretary entourages and security personnel, with a total number of over 100.
The Chinese and North Korean delegations suggested that the Soviet Union, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, should lead the Armistice Supervision Commission. The Soviet Union would send permanent members of the Armistice Supervision Commission.
The United Nations Army delegation objected.It is too unfair for the Soviet Union to take the lead and let the Soviet Union decide which of the remaining five countries are.
However, it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese and North Korean delegations to agree to the participation in the Armistice Supervision Commission by countries that have participated in the United Nations Army and fought in North Korea.
Among the five permanent members of the Security Council, the United States, Britain, and France are all participating in the war.
"We propose that the Soviet Union and the Republic of China, one of the five permanent members of the Security Council, take the lead in sending observers to the Armistice Supervision Committee. The Soviet Union and the Republic of China each decide and report to the United Nations." William Harry Jr. Johnson said.
"No." "No." "No."
Both Nan Ri and Chen Geng present objected.
"The Republic of China in Taiwan is a reactionary puppet regime, and we don't recognize it." "Now this regime is your puppet of the United States, and it will only do things according to the baton of the United States. Having the Republic of China as a standing committee member and observer is tantamount to the United States monitoring the truce. There is a seat on the committee."
William Harrison Jr.: "But after all, it is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. Can anyone deny this? The Republic of China has never sent troops to participate in the Korean War. Can anyone deny this?"
……
It was another day of stalemate with no results. In the evening, the Chinese and North Korean delegations returned to their residence in Huachuancheng, Jiangbei, and reported to Zhisi and the country the status of the negotiations on today, January 1953, 1, by telegram.
Seeing the briefing on today's negotiations jointly signed by Qiao Guanhua, Chen Geng and others, the Prime Minister's hand holding the telegram trembled slightly.
"See, this is a request from you Americans." The Prime Minister said to himself.
……
"Don't you know how things got to this point," Ye Ting said, "You were present during the Huachuan negotiation."
Chen Geng: "That's right. That day we informed the country that the Prime Minister called back at [-] a.m., saying that the central government agreed in principle to the Soviet Union and Chiang Kai-shek's Republic of China as two permanent members of the Armistice Supervision Commission, and let us formulate the guidelines for the Armistice Supervision Commission itself, Behavioral rules. Then this one passed. Looking back now, it turned out that the central government had already made a comprehensive consideration at that time."
Xie Fang: "The layout of the chairman and the prime minister is interlocking, and the enemy will get into the trap step by step in the end."
Chen Geng: "I have one last question. I have a little regret. It would be great if the size of the United Nations Army can be expanded. As a member of the United Nations, we also join the United Nations Army and send out a symbolic soldier, one row and two rows It's all right."
Ye Ting: ...
Xie Fang: ...
"Old Chen, don't be naughty, what is this all about?"
"The Korean peninsula has ceased fighting. In the north is the headquarters of the Volunteer Army. In the middle is the UN Peacekeeping Commission with China as its permanent member. The UN Army in the south also has China participating... In a game, China is also the referee and team members of both teams."
Chen Geng: "Yes, yes, we are a big country, and it is legally acceptable to do these things."
"Don't think about it, there is no possibility, there is no possibility. The UN Security Council announced the formation of the United Nations Army in July 1950, and overturned its decision in January 7, announcing that the United Nations Army no longer exists. The current United Nations Command United Nations certification is illegally using the name 'United Nations'."
"Therefore, even if you are a member of the United Nations, it is impossible to join the United Nations Army."
……
In the late spring and early summer, the morning sun shines on Yeoncheon County, the river reflects the sunlight, and the riverside and the walls of the huts by the river are dotted with bright spots.
The convoy of the United Nations Truce Supervision Commission heading to Uijeongbu is ready.
As two permanent members, China sent a member and chief truce monitoring observer (Chen Geng), 2 assistants (assistant observers), 12 secretaries and entourages, and 30 security personnel, a total of 45 people.
China and the Soviet Union each sent 45 people, and the remaining four countries sent 12 people each. The total number of personnel of the United Nations Armistice Supervision Commission stationed in the North Plain of the Han River was 138.
"salute!"
Thirty guards drawn from the 39th Army lined up to salute Chen Geng.Chen Geng returned the gift.
Chen Geng also inspected the upcoming members of the working group of the Armistice Supervision Commission.
"Comrades."
Chen Geng spoke in front of the team,
"The armistice agreement was signed, we defeated the US imperialists on the Korean peninsula, and won peace in North Korea. Now, our mission is to maintain peace on the Korean peninsula."
"In our future work, we will come into contact with a new thing: the United Nations."
"Factually speaking, the United Nations played a disgraceful role on the Korean Peninsula, promoting and expanding the Korean War. Today we join the ranks of the United Nations, of course, not to compromise with that aggressive decision, but to show ourselves in the United Nations power to gradually change, at least in part, the situation in which the United Nations is dominated by imperialism."
"Now, let's embark on a new journey!"
……
A total of 45 people and their luggage used 4 jeeps and 8 trucks.Six of the trucks were loaded with cargo. In addition to the ammunition used for sidearms, there were also daily necessities after camping and supplies for an initial period of time.One of the trucks also contained dozens of picks, rakes, rakes and shovels, carrying buckets, and several large bags of vegetable seeds.
Of course, the United Nations Armistice Supervision Committee has land in Uijeongbu.
Since there is land, it would be a pity not to grow à la carte.
From Yeoncheon to Dongducheon, the convoy was applauded and welcomed by the nearby North Korean people.
Entering Yangju from Dongducheon and driving to Uijeongbu, along the way, the nearby South Korean farmers and citizens still greeted us by the side of the road.
After the second half of 1952, the United Nations forces basically withdrew from Uijeongbu and Yangju City, and there were no American soldiers in Seoul most of the time.In fact, the Volunteer Army has a good mass base in Uijeongbu and Yangzhou City. On the contrary, it is the South Korean government agencies and police forces that have made a comeback. The South Korean civilians in this area are relatively unfamiliar with them.
……
"The barracks of the Armistice Supervision Committee are well built. The facilities are very complete."
The assistant observer first went to the office where he worked and walked around, and came out to report to Chen Geng.
When Chen Geng walked into the office, not only were the facilities perfect, but his room could be described as luxurious.
"Our Hyundai Group has the best architectural plan and an experienced construction team. We completed the temporary barracks construction project of the Armistice Supervision Commission within one month, which also reflects the sincerity of the Republic of Korea for peace." Follow Chen Geng and the others The person who came in claimed to be the supervisor of the barracks construction project, but in fact he was Zheng Zhouyong, the president of Hyundai Group.
