Today, I watched a video by Professor Ai Yuejin about whether Chiang Kai-shek was really anti-Japanese or fake anti-Japanese, and the fruit fans at the bottom scolded him. In the eyes of fruit fans, Lao Jiang was an "anti-Japanese leader" who single-handedly led the road of the mainland's anti-Japanese war. Today, let's talk about the old Jiang anti-Japanese matter.
Old Jiang resisted Japan, and if he wanted to say that he resisted Japan, he really fought, but even if he did, it depended on how deep his determination to resist Japan was. From before the all-out War of Resistance to the outbreak of the All-out War of Resistance, and then to the end of the war, can the things that Lao Jiang did show that Lao Jiang was sincerely trying to resist Japan?
Before 918, during the Northern Expedition in 1928, Japan launched the Jinan Massacre, in which more than 6,000 compatriots were killed. In this regard, Chiang Kai-shek, who was busy with the Northern Expedition, shook his wits and directly led the Northern Expedition army to detour.
In the 918 incident in 1931, the whole country was scolding Zhang Xueliang for abandoning the northeast, and Lao Jiang also threw it over, saying that Zhang Xueliang gave up the northeast. Without arguing who abandoned the northeast, one thing can be confirmed, after the northeast was occupied by Japan, Chiang Kai-shek did not have any idea of recovering the country, and even acquiesced to the fact of pseudo-Manchuria.
After 918, the Northeast Army was transferred to fight the Red Army. The anti-Japanese volunteers outside the customs, the behind-the-scenes supporter is Zhang Xueliang, Beiping had a volunteer logistics meeting at that time, unfortunately, it was copied by the old Jiang. The Chahar Volunteer Army, blocked by the 100,000 national army in Rehe, in front of the Japanese army, Lao Jiang forced the Chahar Volunteer Army to disband, which is equivalent to saying that Lao Chiang and the Japanese annihilated the Chinese resistance forces, and the end was that Feng Yuxiang went into seclusion, Fang Zhenwu went into exile, and Ji Hongchang was killed.
Two days after the 918 incident, Jiang telegraphed Liu Zhennian, the defender of Yantai, that "if his navy lands on the shore, our side will set aside a place and hold it in strict formation, waiting for the order of the central authorities, and at this time we must be patient and firm, calm and calm." Later, in the 128 incident, Jiang said again: "Do not hesitate to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, maintain peace, and hope to promote the consciousness of the wokou with justice and justice." In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and said: Those who speak extravagantly to resist Japan, those who do not know their integrity, there is no amnesty for killing.
These telegrams expounded a sentence up and down: If we can not fight with the Japanese, we will not fight with the Japanese.
After the fall of Northeast China, the anti-Japanese armed forces in the northeast region were labeled as illegal anti-Japanese, and Lao Jiang was very eager to draw a line with these anti-Japanese armed forces, and regarded them as a thorn in his side. We can also understand, after all, people resist Japan, they are busy fighting civil wars, and it is not good to spread out, and he is afraid that the Japanese will anger him. Moreover, the Northeast fell, the puppet Manchuria was established, and Lao Jiang almost admitted this fact, taking a train from inside the Guanxi to the outside of the Guan, and having to go through the formalities to the locality, he almost established diplomatic relations, which is recorded in Ji Xianlin's book "Ten Years of Staying in Germany".
After the fall of Northeast China, Chiang Kai-shek had no idea of resisting Japan until 1937. During these six years, Chiang Kai-shek's actions cannot be described as cowardice, and his actions against the volunteer army can be regarded as collusion with the enemy and treason.
The recognized outbreak of the All-Out War of Resistance was the July Seven Incident in 1937. And the Battle of Songhu was already a month later, and by this time North China had already been lost and was under the control of the Japanese. And the Battle of Songhu actually had a fuse, called the Hongqiao Airport Incident, where Japanese soldiers drove into Hongqiao Airport and were killed, and then in order to appease the Japanese, they found a scapegoat. At this time, Chiang Kai-shek still tried his best to prevent the War of Resistance.
By the morning of August 13, Japanese tanks approached the north of the gate, and the two sides began to exchange fire. Shanghai Mayor Yu Hongjun lodged a solemn protest at this time and submitted a letter of protest to the Japanese consul. What are we protesting? Northeast China and North China are all lost, do you have any point in protesting?
The Battle of Songhu and the defense of the Sihang Warehouse were all Chiang Kai-shek's personal show specials, and the old Chiang's calculation: play well and let the foreigners mediate from it. The Battle of Songhu was properly for foreigners to watch a play, and as a result, 750,000 against 350,000 people ended in a fiasco, retreating all the way, and the performance failed.
From 918 to Songhu, China and Japan fought countless times in the middle, and each time there was a fuse. It stands to reason that the armed occupation of the land and the establishment of a puppet regime are proper acts of aggression, and the two countries should be at war at this time. Chiang Kai-shek did not make any anti-war moves, and the Japanese garrison in the north was not affected at all, and the old Chiang acquiesced to their existence.
Logically speaking, under this kind of relationship between the two countries, if you come to a Japanese, you have to collapse one, and if you occupy my land and enslave my people, it is only natural for me to beat you. And what Lao Chiang did, repeatedly backed down, maintained normal diplomatic relations with the Japanese, as if none of this had happened, and his inner fear of the Japanese had reached the extreme. At this point, can you say that Chiang Kai-shek had the mind to resist the war?
Lao Jiang and his filial sons and grandsons often used "outside must first settle inside" to excuse themselves, so let's talk about an example of opposite. At the time of the Jinan tragedy, Zhang Zuolin telegraphed the whole country: to insult suspects and work together to resist foreign countries, he will win the sympathy of the world, and meet the demands of the people for many years internally.
After the outbreak of the All-Out War of Resistance, North China and the Yangtze River Delta were lost, and Lao Jiang still looked back and forth with the Japanese, trying to negotiate peace with Japan. From 1937 to 1945, Chiang Lao and Japan peace talks almost did not stop, and in the 1940 peace talks, Lao Chiang admitted the puppet Manchuria, and even by 1945, Lao Chiang was still in peace talks. As a result, the Japanese did not look at him at all during the peace talks in March 1945.
How do you count peace talks when the enemy hits the country? That is, surrender.
In peace talks, if the two countries fight on the border, fight back and forth, and finally the peace talks are held, the two sides agree not to fight, you lose me money, cede some rights and interests, this matter will pass, this is called a ceasefire, this is called tolerance, the strength is not good, the land is ceded, there is no way at all.
After the enemy has occupied a large area of the country, he proposes ceasefire and peace talks, which is a proper act of surrender. The most typical is that during World War II, Germany's set in Europe was a ceasefire agreement, essentially a surrender document, allowing the other side to station troops, and the president obeying the other side. When the Great Golden Kingdom went south, the Great Song played the same way, and the Song Dynasty emperor declared himself a vassal to the Emperor of the Jin State, in essence, surrendered, became the emperor himself, and accepted the canonization of the Great Golden Emperor.
Peace talks when the country was occupied, with his eyes closed, he thought, the enemy cannot spit out everything he swallows, and if he fights down, he will occupy, he himself occupies, why talk to you to return it? This time to talk about a ceasefire, the talk is to admit everything that the other party swallowed, in exchange for the other party does not fight themselves, the treaties signed here are all traitorous treaties, and he is also the emperor.
After many peace talks with Japan, Lao Jiang never gave up his intention to surrender. And Lao Jiang's surrender after Wang Jingwei is already a worthless act, the Wang puppet regime exists, Lao Jiang can only be small, which is a stumbling block on the road to Lao Jiang's surrender. But even after the United States entered the war, Lao Jiang still did not give up this plan.
After the outbreak of the All-Out War of Resistance, he hoped that foreigners would mediate and hold peace talks with Japan many times. All this time, Lao Jiang was doing his best to avoid the war, and everything he could abandon, he abandoned. This kind of thing is not a matter of your troops fighting Japan, it is called true resistance to Japan. How fierce the fight was, it cannot show the determination to sincerely resist Japan, and sincerely resist Japan, not the surface.
