Blockade of Information on the Celestial Empire
The Soviet Union participated in all the planning, preparation, and implementation of the military operation against South Korea. However, in order to avoid the intervention of the United States and the criticism of the world's fishing vessels, Starling took relatively covert measures.
Five days before the war broke out, the Soviet ambassador to North Korea, Shtkov, reported that the Soviet Union had requested the Soviets to provide ships for the attack and landing, as well as ten Soviet advisors to pilot the ships.
Starling immediately replied, rejecting these requests so as not to provide an excuse for the United States to interfere.
At the beginning of the attack, Starling also ordered the recall of all Soviet advisors in the Korean People's Army frontline.
When Harloff had asked her what had happened, Starlyn had replied,"We don't want to leave any evidence to be accused of our involvement.”
However, the Tang army knew nothing about the preparation process and specific plans for the war. Perhaps it was because China was preparing to attack Taiwan, or perhaps it was because the United States wouldn't interfere and didn't want China to interfere, but in short, Starling and the Chinese government blocked all information from China.
According to a former senior North Korean military officer, before the war broke out, all the weapons supplied by the Soviet Union arrived in North Korea by sea instead of by the Chinese railway. The purpose of this was to prevent China from knowing about North Korea's preparations. As for the initial news of the outbreak of the Korean War, the government learned about it from foreign newspapers.
On the third day after the war broke out, the Tang Dynasty sent a colonel to Beijing to report the situation. ** He was very dissatisfied with this and said to Shi Zhe afterwards,"They are our close neighbors. They didn't even discuss the war with us before coming to greet us.”
When the Tang Dynasty was full of confidence and ambition, they obviously did not want China to interfere in North Korea's affairs.
When Starling was considering changing her policy toward the Korean Peninsula, she had two concerns about her new ally: They were worried that the Chinese government would oppose Moscow's decision beforehand, and they were also worried that the Chinese government would stay out of the way and not listen to Moscow's command when the situation became difficult.
Therefore, while Starling wanted China to agree to start a war, she also blocked the news from China.
After such careful arrangements, not only could they ensure that the strategic decisions of the Soviet Union were smoothly accepted, but they could also ensure that the strategic goals of the Soviet Union could be achieved.
Obviously, if the war went smoothly, even if the Northeast was lost, the result could still guarantee the strategic interests of the Soviet Union in the Far East.
If there was a crisis or difficulty, China, as an ally, would bear the responsibility, and the result would also achieve the established goals of the Soviet Union.
As the new dynasty had just been established and was preparing for the battle to free Taiwan, the Tang Dynasty still did not want a war that could threaten the security of the country.
However, as the person in charge of the Asian revolution, the Chinese government couldn't refuse the Chinese government's request, especially after Starling had expressed her stance. The Chinese government could only accept the fait accompli.
After the Chinese government agreed in principle to military measures, North Korea and the Soviet Union's secret preparations for war were nearing completion, but they did not disclose any details of their military plans and actions to Beijing.
In the early morning of June 25, 1950, with the large-scale military assistance of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union launched what was later known as the Korean War.
This was the historical picture of the outbreak of the Korean War outlined by the Russian confidential files in recent years.
