The Soviet Union Wants China to Aiding Korea
However, there was still a problem to be dealt with on the schedule of the war between Starling and the Tang Dynasty. Military action on the Korean Peninsula must be approved by the Tang Dynasty.
This was because during the secret visit to the Soviet Union a few months ago, Starling suggested that both China and the Soviet Union should shoulder more responsibilities in the international revolutionary movement, and there should be some division of labor. She hoped that China would shoulder more help in the national democratic revolutionary movements of the colonial and semi-colonial countries in the future.
Starling also said that after the death of Old Ma and Enz, the center of the revolution shifted from the West to the East, and now to China and East Asia. Therefore, China should fulfill its responsibility for the revolutions in East Asia.
However, at the beginning of the establishment of the new dynasty, the national focus had already shifted to economic construction. The army was preparing for large-scale demobilisation. As for the military strategic goal, the only thing left was to launch a campaign to liberate Taiwan.
At that time, China had 16 armies on the southeast coast, and in the entire northeast region adjacent to North Korea, there were only a few public security divisions who were responsible for local security tasks and the 42nd army who were collectively transferred to work.
Therefore, at this time, no matter what, they did not want to see a war in the northern neighbor of China that might cause the United States to interfere in Asian affairs.
Starling was very clear about this. As early as June to August 1949, during the visit of the Central Committee of China to the Soviet Union, the Chinese government had specifically asked the Chinese government to convey the plan of the Chinese government to the Soviet Union and asked for assistance from the Soviet Union.
After learning that Staleyn had rejected China's request, on December 16, 1949, during the first meeting with Staleyn in Moscow, the emperor once again raised the same question.
On the eve of the visit to the Soviet Union, Starling also exchanged views with the government on North Korea's policy. They both believed that it was not appropriate for North Korea to take offensive military action at this time.
In the message, the Chinese government said that the North Korean comrades wanted to solve the South Korean problem by force, and the Chinese leaders had advised them not to do so.
Starling called back and said that she fully agreed with the views of the Chinese comrades. They should not start a war in North Korea and should not use military means to unify North Korea.
Because of this, although Starling had already considered the issue of starting a war on the Korean Peninsula, he did not mention a word about the Chinese government, who was currently in Moscow.
For the same reason, after discussing with the government and deciding to take military action, Starling knew that this matter required the approval of the government, but it was inconvenient for her to personally appear. Therefore, she could only persuade the government to meet the government.
In fact, North Korea's political status made the government more aware than Darin that such a major move in East Asia must be supported by the government.
Therefore, after Staleyn expressed her approval of his intentions, the Tang Dynasty instructed the North Korean ambassador to China, Lee Chow-won, to visit the Tang Dynasty and request a visit to China.
At the end of March, when the Chinese government met with Li Zhouyuan, it agreed to the Chinese government's visit to China.
It was estimated that the government would discuss the issue of attacking South Korea. During the conversation, the government pointed out that "if there is a specific plan to unify North Korea, then the meeting must be held in secret."
The government also said that if a third world war broke out, North Korea would inevitably participate in it, so it was necessary to make military preparations.
When Li Zhouyuan reported the situation of the talks to Peking, the Chinese government had already set off for Moscow. Therefore, the North Korean cabinet deputy prime minister Jin Ce entrusted the Soviet embassy to convey the news to the Chinese government.
It was worth noting that in Li Zhouyuan's report, there was no mention of the Chinese government agreeing to launch an attack on North Korea during the meeting.
However, when the government met with Shtkov on May 12, they informed him that when they met with Li Zhouyuan, they said,"We can't unify North Korea through peaceful means. We must use force to unify North Korea.”
The government's statement was not credible. He did this to dispel Starling's concerns and obtain Moscow's absolute support on the issue of starting a war.
In fact, it was not the first time that the Chinese government lied to Moscow that China supported him in taking military action.
No matter what the Chinese government was thinking, the Chinese government still did not know that Moscow had reached a tacit agreement to start a war.
On the evening of May 13th, the Chinese government secretly arrived in Beijing and immediately held a meeting with the leaders of China.
No documents about the specific content of the meeting had been found, but according to Roshen's report to Moscow, the first meeting did not go well. The meeting was interrupted on the night it began.
Roshen said in the telegram: At 23:30 on the evening of the 13th, ** arrived at the Soviet Embassy and requested to immediately report to Staleen the matters entrusted by **:
"Comrade North Korea has informed Comrade Starling of the following instructions: The current situation was different from the past. North Korea could start to act. However, this issue must be discussed with the Chinese comrades and the Chinese government.”
"Comrade Tang wants to hear from Comrade Stalin about this issue.”
The last message of the telegram said,"Comrade Celestial requests a quick reply."”
Obviously, in view of the importance of the situation mentioned by the Chinese government, and the fact that Stallyn had clearly expressed her opposition to military action in North Korea not long ago, the Chinese leaders had doubts and had to ask Moscow for confirmation.
It was only then that Starling made it clear to the Chinese leaders that the Soviet Union's attitude on this issue had changed. On May 14th, Vysinski forwarded Stalin's telegram to the government:
During the meeting with the North Korean comrades, Comrade Starling and his friends suggested that they agree with the North Korean proposal to achieve unification in view of the changed international situation.
At the same time, I would like to add that this problem must be resolved by the Chinese and North Korean comrades. If the Chinese comrades disagree, we should re-discuss how to solve this problem. The details of the talks can be told to you by the North Korean comrades.
The seemingly peaceful words revealed Moscow's tough attitude. As the "person in charge" of the revolutionary cause in East Asia, the government should naturally support the revolutionary actions of North Korea.
Faced with the pressure from Starling, the Chinese government agreed to resolve the issue of North Korea's unification before liberating Taiwan.
