"Was the revolution in Cuba led by the elder brother or the younger brother?"
"Now it seems that my brother may have to take the lead. My brother is not a People's Socialist, but he has a higher reputation in Cuban society."
"That's really bad news...Stop! Stop! Where are we talking?" Malenkov realized that he was being led off topic again and ran into it himself.
"When we talked about the Cuban Revolution, we talked about sugar before, then we talked about Taiwan, and then we talked about Chinese missiles, and the starting point of the topic was whether China should sit down and talk with the United States."
"Hmm..." Malenkov pondered, pondering how to persuade several people present to form a unified opinion.
"Comrades, committee members," Molotov finally calmed down after watching the scene, and took out a new document from his briefcase, "Why don't you wait until I read this telegram sent to me by the Chinese Premier before making a vote? ?”
Malenkov, Khrushchev, Beria: …
"The United States has supported Chiang Kai-shek's reactionary regime for many years, assisted in preventing Taiwan from blocking the Taiwan Strait, violating our country's territory and airspace, and dispatched a fleet to implement a naval blockade against China. We have a positive attitude towards peace in Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait, and we do not want to see civilian casualties and The international shipping order has been disrupted, but due to the various misdeeds and recent attitudes of the United States, we are not suitable to directly respond to the American ceasefire request. I hope that the Soviet Union can issue a statement on the temporary ceasefire in the Taiwan Strait through the United Nations General Assembly, the Security Council or other public channels , Suggestions for both parties to negotiate to solve the problem..."

In Taiwan on the morning of April 4, the area controlled by both sides was very different from yesterday afternoon.
In Kaohsiung, the 78th Division's amphibious tanks and large buffalo amphibious armored vehicles maneuvered at night and destroyed three airports in Pingtung. Although the national army's fighter jets took off ahead of schedule to evade, nearly 30 of them were destroyed on the runway.The successful penetration of the amphibious mechanized column also means that our army on the southern front has surrounded Kaohsiung on three sides.
On the east coast of Taiwan, after the 20th Division of the 60th Army crossed the central mountain range and cut off the railway and road traffic on the east coast, they found that the Taitung National Army was almost in a defensive vacuum. Not only were there few troops, but almost all the national troops stationed were reclamation soldiers.After consulting the military headquarters and the former finger, the 60th Army divided into two groups, both along the traffic line of Taitung. The 178th regiment attacked Taitung County to the south, and the 179th and 180th regiments attacked Hualien to the north.
However, on the east coast of Taiwan Island, the 60th Division has to do a good job of air defense and concealment, and the best time to fight is at night. ——The central mountain range is not so easy to climb. All the people who climbed over the mountain were light infantry, and neither anti-aircraft missiles nor heavy artillery could follow.
而60师在一晚上的战斗中又创造了一个难以超越的记录:178团的1500余人攻占了驻军2000人的台东县城,179和180团的2900人攻占了驻军4000人的花莲县城。原因无他,这地方的国军都是9线屯垦兵。
On the morning of April 4, the 18th Division took down all the areas that should be taken down, and even completed the scheduled combat mission tomorrow night.After the capture of Hualian and Taitung, the two units of the 60th Division settled the order in the city, and most of them withdrew from the county town to station in the mountains to avoid possible bombing by the national army.
In Taitung, the 60th Division really felt a bit like the first to fourth battles to resist US aggression and aid Korea. There were no anti-aircraft missiles on its head, no heavy artillery to accompany it, and even its own supplies and ammunition were in line with the characteristics of the "weekly offensive".However, this doesn't matter. In just two battle days, the 1th Division almost swept across the east coast of Taiwan. Next, it only needs to get stuck in the main points of the two counties in the north and south, and wait for the end of the battle.
In Kaohsiung City, last night's amphibious tank night attack and guided bomb bombing still left the Kaohsiung defenders in shock. The two tank regiments of the 3rd Tank Division and the 31st Army did not give the defenders any respite, and launched attacks from the north and northeast. Prepare for firepower with heavy artillery coverage, and tanks as the guide, directly attack Kaohsiung City and Kaohsiung Fortress-there are not many heavy artillery in the fortress.
驻守高雄的国军第一次在白天面对T-34-85坦克,他们发现日本遗留下来的大量47毫米战防炮对T-34-85完全是无效的,75毫米野炮有时候能击穿T-34正面,有时候不能,关键是日制75毫米野炮的观瞄装置很不好用。
Under the direct fire of tank guns and the long-distance and precise shooting of anti-tank missiles, none of the anti-aircraft bunkers and fire support points in Kaohsiung City survived past 12 noon.Before the battle started, the 31st Army specially sent a report to Ye Hui, the commander of the 10th Corps, whether anti-tank missiles should be used to demolish the bunkers.Ye Hui and Su Yu jointly replied, "There is no need to save!"
The sighting system of the anti-tank missile has to use some imported parts, but the missiles as consumables are produced in the whole country, so don't be stingy.

On April 4, the Keelung Port was also full of turmoil. The transport ship of the Seventh Fleet transported the last batch of supplies of the Annan Army to the shore yesterday, and then stopped in Keelung for the night.The task of increasing troops from Okinawa has ended, and the next task to be performed is to evacuate "refugees" from Taiwan to Okinawa.
Taiwanese "outsiders" who were notified that they could evacuate by sea had long queued up to board the landing ship.In the past few days, those who fled Okinawa by plane were generally the richer part of those who escaped from Taiwan. Most of the people who fled by boat were ordinary people who were not very rich, but there were also a few people who were not high-ranking government officials but were extremely rich. ——You can take a lot of belongings with you when you evacuate by landing ship.Of course, this required bribing the national army responsible for port management and defense.
"Go forward, go left, go a little bit to the right, okay, go straight ahead."
With the cooperation of the guide and the driver, a Cadillac drove into the vehicle deck of the tank landing ship.With a red envelope of two hundred dollars in his pocket, the guide was naturally working very hard. Seeing that the Cadillac had stopped, he called the American soldiers inside to fasten the car, and then turned around to do something for the family's two trucks loaded with household items. guide.
"Why did this batch of landing ships transport more than 8000 people this morning?"
On the 7th floor of the basement of the Presidential Palace, Li Zongren asked the Minister of National Defense Guo Jiqiao.
"The scene of boarding the ship was very chaotic, and when entering by sea, refugees usually carry a lot of personal belongings, so..." Guo Jiqiao said.
Li Zongren: "It's not just that they carry a lot of personal belongings, I'm afraid some people have even moved their homes on board?"
Guo Jiqiao was speechless, and Tan Tanshou said that this was the truth, but there was no way to control it.
Li Zongren picked up the phone on the table and wanted to call Bai Chongxi. "Jiansheng? You brought the troops of the 1rd Battalion of the 3st Regiment of the Annan Army to Keelung to take over the transport pier, yes, the pier used to dock the landing ship to transport refugees. The original guards were disbanded on the spot, and the guard company commander was dismissed. What do you do? I want to control the pier to rectify order, and send as many ordinary refugees out of the island as possible, yes, as many as possible! But those rich people with a lot of luggage have to be stopped! They either stay in Taiwan and their belongings Live on treasure, or throw away those things and go on board empty-handed."

Washington.
Soviet ambassador to the United States Georgy Nikolaevich Zarubin at a press conference.
"Ambassador Zarubin, on April 4, the Chinese mainland attacked the U.S. fleet in the Taiwan Strait with armed forces, and then the United States imposed a naval blockade on the coastal areas of the Chinese mainland. What is the Soviet Union's opinion on this?"
Zarubin: "We have noticed that the US fleet has frequently berthed at Taiwan's ports for a long time before, and has actually intervened in China's civil war. This may be the root cause of the conflict between the US fleet and the Chinese Air Force. China is launching a Taiwan campaign The elimination of rebel forces and the regular presence of the U.S. fleet in Taiwan’s ports and in the Taiwan Strait can hardly be considered friendly gestures.”
"The naval blockade imposed by the United States on the coast of mainland China has affected the shipping business of the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, and the US Navy has intercepted and damaged a Romanian freighter. How does the Soviet Union think about resolving this conflict?"
Zarubin: "This is a gross violation of the freedom of navigation in the sea. What the United States has shown in this matter is a naked hegemonic act. The Soviet Union has always believed that negotiation is the key to peace, not force. The actions of the United States have no Contributing to peace in East Asia and the Western Pacific will only provoke more intense confrontation between the two sides and pose a greater threat to regional peace. The actions of the United States will also put the US navy and air force in the Western Pacific at risk. I think the White House and the Pentagon understand that very well."
Zarubin said that negotiation is the key to peace, and the more than 20 journalists present were in a commotion.It seems that the Soviet Union also has plans to persuade peace?
"Excuse me, is the Soviet Union ready to suggest that the Chinese Communist Party and the Republic of China hold negotiations on ending the civil war?"
"Ending the chaos in Taiwan and the Taiwan Strait as soon as possible is also the consistent position of the Soviet government on the situation in East Asia. But this requires the warring parties in Taiwan to negotiate and reach a reasonable agreement based on facts. sea power."
Zarubin calibrated the big frame first, and put the core words at the end and said:
"Yes, Moscow has communicated with Beijing, expressing the Soviet side's expectation for peace across the Taiwan Strait, and is now waiting for a response from Chinese comrades."
Chapter 60, the commander-in-chief is at the front
"Chairman, I'm back from North Korea."
Mr. Peng returned to Beijing and went straight to Zhongnanhai.In Yi Nian Tang, the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, Prime Minister, Vice Chairman Liu, Nie Shuai, and Secretary Deng are already waiting here.
President Peng stood at attention and saluted.
"Our General Peng returned in triumph," the chairman shook hands with Mr. Peng. "It should be a good celebration. The victory of the War of Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is worthy of national celebration. It is a pity that the liberation of Taiwan is still in progress, and several of us have to work day and night without stopping." .And Boss Zhu will leave soon. When the Taiwan matter is resolved, we will become one and celebrate the two victories together."
President Peng: "Speaking of this, for the battle reports from Taiwan, Zhisi does not have a computer line. No, the computer line does not automatically distribute the battle reports. I left for China three days ago, and I have been thinking about the battle situation on the way."
Commander-in-Chief: "It's good to go back to Beijing. The War Information Center is the general information hub for North Korea and Fujian. You can see everything. If necessary, you can still handle Zhisi's affairs in the War Information Center."
Mr. Peng returned to China ahead of schedule to fulfill his duties as the first Minister of National Defense.
After the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, Mr. Peng finished the work, handed over the remaining matters to Ye Ting, and returned to China.The Ministry of National Defense has already started to be formed, and now it is almost time for it to be put into operation.
Mr. Peng: "I know that. But North Korea has Commander Ye and Chen Geng, so there won't be any problems."
"Get back to work before you come back," the chairman said, "Zhiji's medical department reported to us that you have a tumor under your ear and need surgery. The Volunteer Army Command has no conditions for surgery, and it has been delayed for several months." .Now that you have returned to China, go to the hospital to have the tumor removed."
Prime Minister: "Zhisi's conditions are really bad. The doctor also said that you have had your hemorrhoids for more than two years, and your whole body is not good when it flares up. Take advantage of the opportunity of being hospitalized and cut off the hemorrhoids."
"You were in a car accident in 51, and you couldn't walk very well after you were discharged from the hospital. I wondered if I should also ask the doctor to check again. The legs, knees, ankles, menisci, etc., were not connected well, and those who were strained were carefully diagnosed. Diagnosis, or a minor operation."
The chairman, the prime minister, and the commander-in-chief each said something, and the people in Yi Nian Tang laughed after thinking about it.
Well, as soon as I came back, I got a few knives on my body.
Boss Peng said dumbfoundedly: "Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, why do I feel like I'm going to be chopped into pieces as soon as I come back..."
