As we all know, in the early stages of the War of Liberation, Chiang Kai-shek not only controlled a million troops, but also had thousands of excellent generals, but in only three years, Chiang Kai-shek finally ended in defeat and could only be forced to retreat to Taiwan. Many years later, many people have great doubts about Chiang Kai-shek, and the most questioned thing is whether Chiang Kai-shek has a military level.
Chiang Kai-shek's most abundant and experienced book in this life is "Sun Tzu's Art of War", under the rough statistics of some scholars, in the "Collection of Thoughts and Speeches of Former President Chiang Kai-shek", there are 85 places where Sun Tzu or "Sun Tzu's Art of War" is mentioned, which is only slightly lower than Confucius, Mencius and Zeng Guofan.
In addition, from the evaluations of the senior Kuomintang generals and Li Zhongren, it can also be seen that after the anti-war business, Li Zongren wrote "A Review of the Advantages of the Enemy and Ourselves in the Eight-Year War of Resistance." He analyzed the situation of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and mentioned that Japan's judgment of China was wrong, and he felt that China had been in a very backward position since the end of the Qing Dynasty. In fact, China's potential is enormous.
Li Zongren also mentioned that he had already penetrated Chiang Kai-shek's wrist, saying that he was only because of his weapons and equipment and money. From a military point of view, Chiang Kai-shek could not become a general, not even a soldier. If he had united his army at his own will, how could he not have been defeated? As far as the troops were concerned, Chiang Kai-shek did a very poor job.
