September 1953, 5, morning.
The military parade and city entry ceremony for the liberation of Taipei were held as scheduled.
The military parade in Taipei declared the victory of the Taiwan War and the true and complete demise of the Chiang Kai-shek regime.
Chiang Kai-shek...was a man who had a great impact on modern China.A very powerful strategist, politician, and dictator, from 1928 to 1949, he actually controlled the supreme authority of the Republic of China for 21 years.
Ambition and scheming are the two pillars for Chiang Kai-shek to climb to the top of power.If his fortune can be simply summed up, there are two "ups": first, the Zhongshan ship, and second, Song Meiling.
Going to the Zhongshan ship won the trust of Sun Yat-sen, and then caught up with the Whampoa Military Academy and the Northern Expedition, allowing him to gradually rise to the top of the Kuomintang and become one of the few people with the highest positions in the Kuomintang after Sun Yat-sen's death.
Song Meiling allowed him to gain the support of Jiangsu and Zhejiang compradors and chaebols, so that he had enough strength and confidence to raise the butcher's knife against our party and the leftists of the Kuomintang, and kill the Kuomintang to only the most reactionary part of the people, ensuring that he can smoothly rule the Republic of China.
The Nanjing Nationalist Government established by Chiang Kai-shek nominally unified the country and gave the Chinese people a chance to rest, but the new warlord wars interspersed with it and the brutal attack on the Soviet area still caused huge damage.At the same time, the country is only resting for a while. The recovery of people's livelihood and industrial development are far behind the recovery and development period of other countries after the end of the civil war. Social conflicts continue to accumulate and intensify.
The weak national strength caused the Republic of China to suffer heavy losses when facing the all-out attack of Japanese fascists, and it paid great military and civilian casualties.After the end of the Anti-Japanese War, social contradictions intensified to the extent that non-violent armed struggle could not be resolved, so the Republic of China was resolved.

"Xiao Chang, it's all right now. I'm going to be arrested and taken to Beijing, where I'm going to be paraded in a cage." In the villa where Sun Liren lived, Sun Ke still maintained his venomous tongue, mocking Chiang Ching-kuo upstairs, "Well, it is said that the Communist-army Going ashore from Taichung, the day your old man died for the country, you should have Zhu Huaibing throw you into the sea with you on his back, so you won’t be in such a mess today.”
Jiang Jingguo ignored Sun Ke's ridicule with a sullen face. He had already been taken downstairs by the soldiers of the People's Liberation Army. He had an extra pair of handcuffs on his hands, but there were no shackles or shackles.
"Liansheng, then I will take a step ahead," Jiang Jingguo said, "but your prediction must be wrong. Not only will I not be beheaded, I will not be paraded in the streets, and I may be released from prison sooner than you."
Chiang Ching-kuo was taken on a truck and drove to Keelung, where he boarded a boat and was escorted back to the mainland.
In any case, Sun Ke lost to Jiang Jingguo in this round.The war criminals escorted by the first ship were the first batch of war criminals with the highest status in our designated list, but Sun Ke, the eldest son of Sun Yat-sen, was not included in this list.

"The loss of Taiwan is certain and inevitable. But the loss of Taiwan in this form is beyond my expectation."
At the White House, senior strategic adviser George Kennan spoke to Eisenhower's chief of staff, Ravelyn Sherman Adams.
After April 4, Eisenhower wanted to know whether it was possible for the Republic of China to form a government-in-exile. As a result, the Chief Justice secretly told him that because the President of the Republic of China and the CCP made peace, and the National Assembly representing the highest power of the Republic of China was controlled However, none of the representatives from the National Congress escaped, and even most of the ministers and above officials of the national government did not escape, so the government-in-exile cannot have legal continuity.
At most it's a rogue government rolling around, not a government-in-exile...
After hearing this explanation, Eisenhower vetoed the Soong family's request for US$1500 million for the annual operating expenses of the government-in-exile, and only asked the CIA to give them US$20 a year for their activities.
Adams: "The leaders of the Chinese Communist Party have raised the espionage war and instigation of rebellion to a strategic level. This is unprecedented, and I am afraid there will be no future. This war will definitely be included in the textbooks of intelligence schools in all countries in the future."
"The one that most needs to be in the textbooks is the United States, and both the CIA and the FBI should learn something from it."
"George, the President and his Department of Defense have a concern right now," Adams said, "that China, having made peace in North Korea and taking Taiwan back, may next expand back-to-back with the Soviet Union, which attacks Central and Western Europe, and which China is also attacking neighboring countries."
George Kennan: "Where and in what form does the Department of Defense think China will intervene?"
"The second Korean War, the Okinawa War, the war to expand power to the Indochina Peninsula, and the war to annex Myanmar. Among them, the three land wars have the highest risk. The Chinese army now has too much advantage on the ground."
George Kennan: "I don't think the risk of war in these areas is very high. ... There is a risk, and we can never predict 100% of what may happen in the future. But China in the form of military intervention The likelihood of seeking expansion into these areas is low. Also, I don’t think these areas are worthy of China’s war.”
Adams:"?"
George Kennan: "Yes, if China uses troops in these places, it will be good news for the United States. For detailed reasons and background analysis, I will write a report and submit it to the president. You can also read it at that time. To. For now, let the Chinese enjoy their coronation."

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the troops to be reviewed have finished queuing up, please review!"
In the jeep, Su Yu saluted the commander-in-chief.
"Start review!"
The runway of Taipei Songshan Airport was used as a parade field, where more than 4000 PLA fighters and more than 600 vehicles of various types gathered.
After the commander-in-chief inspects at Songshan Airport, the troops under review will march into Taipei and pass through the main streets so that the people of Taipei can see it.
The participating troops include:
来自27军79师的摩托化步兵方阵、28军82师的步兵方阵、陆战一师的步兵方阵、坦克第三师的T-34-85坦克和SU-100自行反坦克炮、来自第78两栖机械化师的PT-76两栖坦克和大水牛两栖装甲车、27军炮兵团的108毫米火箭炮、炮兵第7师的152和122毫米榴弹炮。
After the commander-in-chief inspected the ground troops, there were formations of fighter jets, attack planes, and bombers taking off from Penghu in the sky.
The time was a little half a minute late, and the formation was not as neat as later generations, but it didn't matter much.
12架米格-15比斯后面是12架伊尔-10，接着是8架图-2和4架图-4特种轰炸机，接着是8架图-2特种轰炸机，再之后又是12架米格-15比斯。

Beijing.
"In 1937, the British Broadcasting Corporation sent a live filming team to welcome Prime Minister Chamberlain who had returned from the Munich negotiations at the airport, and completed the world's first outdoor live TV broadcast using mobile devices. Chamberlain's speech at the airport "Peace in Our Time" It also became the world's first live television speech by a politician. It's a pity that foreigners started live television broadcasting 16 years ago, and we haven't even opened a TV station yet. Otherwise, we could sit here and watch Watching the military parade in Taipei."
Tang Hua was talking about the principle of live TV.
This is not a new technology. The Beijing TV station has almost completed its construction and is expected to open in July.But in the military parade in Taipei, the live TV broadcast seems to be unable to keep up.
People from the War Situation Center came today as on April 4th, and all members of the Politburo in Beijing came.But there is one good thing today: the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and democrats don't come here to crowd the War Information Center.
Although there is no live TV broadcast, the Beijing War Situation Center has a text live broadcast on the computer network...
"I can't see the scene, but it's good to hear Xiao Zhang's report on the situation at the scene." The chairman said.
Whenever there is a new message from Xiamen Qianzhi, the staff will translate the message into Chinese within 1 minute and read it out in the combat situation center.
"The commander-in-chief inspects the tank formation and the amphibious tank formation."
"Our military fleet flew over the airport in the air, and the fighter jets, attack planes, and bombers that had made great contributions in the Taiwan campaign were inspected by the commander-in-chief."
"The military parade is over, and we are preparing for the city entry ceremony. The infantry phalanx is loaded with trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, and amphibious armored vehicles. They are about to enter Taipei!"
……
"Chairman, Prime Minister, that..." Tang Hua wanted to ask if a scene in "The Founding of a Nation" actually happened. "It was when the news of our army's victory in the Huaihai Campaign came. Did you celebrate in Xibaipo?"
Prime Minister: "We were all happy when the telegram came, especially the Commander-in-Chief. We all high-fived at the Military Commission headquarters."
Chairman: "Actually, the Battle of Huaihai was not the happiest time for us. Our happiest time was the complete annihilation of the Liao Yaoxiang Corps and the successful conclusion of the Liaoshen Campaign. That night I told Enlai and the boss that the War of Liberation was originally expected to take 5 years The time to overthrow Chiang Kai-shek seems to be faster now, about three years."
Tang Hua: "Did you drink, and sing the Internationale together after drinking?"
Prime Minister: "I didn't drink alcohol, the chairman can't drink, Mr. Zhu can drink but has been quitting alcohol. But everyone was really in high spirits that day. Singing the Internationale? ... Sang a lot of songs, there should be the Internationale. Right. , and your songs."
Tang Hua: "Ah? Ah?!!"
Chairman: ""True Heroes", and I remember "The Loess High Slope"."
