In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China urgently needed to find a correct path to change the current backward situation of science and technology and living standards. But before the plan could begin, the United States tried to turn its guns on China.
Our army's entry into the DPRK to support the operation has made the US military angry and frustrated several times. At this time, MacArthur proposed the idea of using the atomic bomb, but was dismissed by the commander-in-chief of the US army. Why doesn't the United States dare to use the atomic bomb? Listen to what Chairman Mao said?
Who was MacArthur?
If the United States is to quickly become a world superpower, it must become famous in The Korean War and let everyone see the gap between countries and him. MacArthur, a military family, had to take on this mission and achieve excellent results in the Korean War.
In World War I, MacArthur, who was regarded as a military elite by the United States, emerged and won many wars for the United States.
In The Second World War, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the Far Eastern Military District, using his unique combat experience and technology to annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop. MacArthur, who had received orders to send troops to the Korean War, was 70 years old, and macArthur was confident that he could win this game, and did not pay attention to our army at all.
He even arrogantly promised his soldiers that he would be able to get them back to Christmas that year.
So, after the first confrontation of the Korean War officially began, MacArthur was not prepared, and finally tasted the bitterness. After the victory of our army's first confrontation, it greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers, which made MacArthur angry. He thought he was unprepared, that's why he failed.
But the second, third, and fourth time, MacArthur did not go as smoothly as he did in World War I, when he was criticized by American military commanders, and he came up with a mad response.
Truman's statement at the press conference
In the summer of 1950, the United States sent bombers to the air base secretly to prevent our country from interfering in their war with Korea.
After the Korean War officially began, seeing that his situation was unfavorable, Truman moved the idea of using the atomic bomb. In November 1950, when asked by a reporter if Truman could reveal his next move, Truman publicly exclaimed: "I will take the necessary military measures to deal with the current changes, of which the atomic bomb is also within consideration." ”
Later, there was evidence that a month after the press conference, Truman ordered the atomic bomb to be sent to the Far East, along with many experts.
It seems that when necessary, Truman would indeed put the atomic bomb on the battlefield in order to make the United States win, and it has to be said that the ambitions of the United States at that time were indeed terrifying. However, before the decision could be formally decided, it was stopped by British diplomats, and Truman did not implement the plan out of consideration for the EU organization.
MacArthur, a war maniac, completely ignored Truman's orders. Even though Truman had ordered his plans to use the atomic bomb suspended, MacArthur continued to deploy in the Far East.
Truman did not want to replace MacArthur as he approached the battlefield, but after seeing MacArthur's crazy moves, MacArthur was dismissed from his post and his power as commander-in-chief was limited just as the United States and China were planning a final showdown.
How Mao Zedong Viewed Truman's "Atomic Bomb"
The power of the atomic bomb had caused Japan to panic as early as the United States attacked Pearl Harbor. That is why my country is very jealous of the use of nuclear weapons.
When it became known that Truman had the idea of dropping atomic bombs, Chairman Mao called an emergency meeting on an impromptu basis and mentioned the battle of the Korean War, strategically defying the enemy and attaching tactical importance to the enemy. As the name suggests, if the United States does launch an atomic bomb, even if the war is won, its strategic mission will eventually burn on its own soil.
Subsequently, before sending volunteers to fight, the chairman ordered the commander to fight in Korea. The most important task of this Korean War is to defend the northeast border defense, and compared with the real guns of the Americans before, this time is also an unprecedented war. It is necessary to seize the weakness of the American and inadvertently attack the other side in order to defeat him.
As an outstanding military and statesman in our country, Chairman Mao had long anticipated that the US military would be angry and demoralized, and that the atomic bomb would be part of their plan.
Although the US atomic bomb is indeed regarded as the most destructive weapon in the world in the eyes of the general public, this should not be an excuse for US imperialism to wantonly wage war against the world.
In fact, Truman wanted to use the Korean War to prove the deterrent power of the United States, but in the end he was disturbed by macArthur, his most capable general. If the United States really drops the atomic bomb, where will the face of the European Union be placed? I have to say that Chairman Mao still has his own unique views on seeing through the essence of the United States.
