The Korean War , China and the United States were fighting each other, causing heavy casualties, blood flowed, and enmity deepened. It is strange that neither side publicly declared war on each other. Why? Some people say that the Chinese army that went abroad to participate in the war is called the Chinese People’s Volunteers. It’s a good name. The Americans just want to declare war and there is no excuse. Is this really the case? Z3z
Huang Yanpei said, it’s better to use the volunteers. After deciding to send troops, Mao Zedong began to consider what name to send troops. After studying with Zhou Enlai, he wanted to send troops under the name of "support army". After the preliminary decision was made, he decided to recruit democrats. In his opinion, Mao Zedong said: "They have a lot of experience, they have a lot of experience, and they have many ways to do such things."
The bearded Huang Yanpei shook his head and said: "The support army is sent out. Who sends it out to support? The country? Are we going to declare war with the United States? It is better to use the volunteer army instead of using the name of the government, but China. An army formed by the people’s volunteers." Z3z
Mao Zedong said: "It’s called the Chinese People’s Volunteers. We are not declaring war with the United States or between countries. We are the people’s volunteers. This is a private matter. The people volunteer to help the people of , North Korea, and . This is not a country-to-country opposition." The
volunteer army went abroad to participate in the war. The United States also publicly recognized this name and pointed out that this force is an authentic Chinese army. However, in public and regular occasions, China definitely does not recognize it, and only says it is. The "Volunteer Army" never mentions the word "regular army". The United States can only lament that the Chinese Communist government has given these troops a good name.
China does not want to publicly declare war on the United States
The name of the army that goes abroad to participate in the war is the "Volunteer Army", which fully shows that China does not want to publicly declare war on the United States. Why?
The "United Nations Army" headed by the United States beat North Korea. Kim Il Sung couldn't stand it anymore and asked for help from China, saying, "Brother, I'm going to be dying. Come on, help me beat him." Before the "United Nations Army" attacked North Korea and North Korea had no assistance, China had repeatedly said to the United States: "Don't beat my brother, just teach and teach. If you maimed my brother, I can be anxious to you. , I can't keep you from kicking you." Now that my brother is beaten and disabled, it may be his turn to see the next one. There is no way, China is going to kick the United States.
Before kicking this kick, it is necessary for China to publicly say to the United States: "You are deceiving too much, I am going to kick you now." This is completely unnecessary. Besides, I'm just a helper. I want to declare war. It is also a matter between North Korea and the United States. What kind of war should I declare?
China at the time was a veteran of fighting. He fought with the Japanese for seven or eight years, but he surrendered the Japanese, and he didn’t stop. After another three years with the US-backed Chiang Kai-shek , he drove Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. It is not blocked by the Seventh Fleet of the United States. I guess at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek may have already become Mao Zedong’s prisoner. The key to this fight of
is to advance covertly, surprise him and hit him by surprise. If war is declared publicly against the United States, wouldn't it expose the intentions? How can you surprise him and beat him off guard. As a veteran fighting veteran, China will never do this.
Facts have proved that this decision was wise. After entering the DPRK, the Chinese Volunteers were surprised by the "United Nations" kick and received a report from the troops. Mike Arthur thought it was evil, and he didn't know it. He knew China. Soldiers were dispatched, but I don’t know how many soldiers were dispatched. According to the pre-war estimate, it should not exceed 60,000. Under Peng Dehuai’s insidious guidance, Mike Arthur finally thought it was a small group of "volunteers", and then divided the troops to advance and was confronted by Peng Dehuai. He jumped off with a punch, couldn't climb for a long time, and retreated all the way to the 38th line.
So, why didn't the United States declare war?
The United States does not want to declare war publicly. What is the matter with
? The armies of the two countries formed a relative formation. One side said: "I am going to fight." The other side said: "Bring the horse here." This is a declaration of war. Of course, most of the time, you have to hand over a document, write a letter of credence or something.
But on the Korean battlefield, this is not the case at all. Someone unexpectedly kicked you. Once asked, it was the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army. What kind of army is this? In this case, you would never say: "Hey, who are you? I want to declare war on you." Mike Arthur must understand this truth, so,At first, the United States knew that China had sent troops, but it could not declare war on China.
When Mike Arthur was driven back to the 38th Parallel, the United States had sufficient evidence that China sent troops to North Korea on a large scale. But the declaration of war is a matter of country to country. Mike Arthur can’t control it because it can only Truman came forward.
Don’t forget, the United States has organized the "United Nations Army" of 18 countries to fight the volunteers. Truman can never say: "The United States declares war on China". If that is the case, what about the other brothers? Is it possible to declare war on China together? If you don’t declare war together, isn’t this slapping Americans in the face? My boss declares war, but my little brother doesn’t declare war. How can I be the boss? But Truman could not even say that "the'United Nations Army' declared war on China." Doesn't this mean that Truman kidnapped the brothers and went together? The eighteen brothers only came to help, and they helped fight North Korea, not China. Why should I declare war on China? What good is it for me to declare war? I guess, when Truman thought of this, he quickly dispelled the idea.
In fact, as long as the United States wants to declare war on China, everything mentioned above is for nothing. The crux of the problem is that Truman did not want to declare war on China, because declaring war will not benefit him at all.
As mentioned above, no matter what method is used to declare war, it will definitely offend a group of allies, either Zhang San or Li Si. If these allies, based on their own interests, dare not offend China too ruthlessly and withdraw from the United Nations army, that matter. It's big.
After World War II, people all over the world hated war and did not want to fight. The American people also did not want to fight. The war between the United States and North Korea has not ended. You Truman declared war on China again. What would the American people think? The American people would say, do you still want me to support the Korean War? Do you want to continue as the president? I have to send my son to the front again, do you want to live? The President of the United States dares to offend the whole world, but he does not dare to annoy the American people.
The strategic focus of the United States has always been in Europe, and that is the top priority. North Korea is only a small place. Truman believes that although the current situation is unfavorable, with the US military strength, it will soon be settled. , Not to be afraid.
Besides, although you Mao Zedong established the People’s Republic of China, I still don’t recognize it in the United States. In my case, I only recognize Chiang Kai-shek. I declare war on China. Should I fight you Mao Zedong or Chiang Kai-shek? This is not a mess. ? In the end, the battle started, and I just declared war on China after an afterthought. Isn't it a bit too much? If no war is declared, won't the war be fought in the same way, and no one is resting. It's completely unnecessary.
So the United States did not declare war on China publicly.
In this way, the strangest scene in the history of war happened. China and the "United Nations Army", each of which assembled millions of troops, engaged in large-scale brutal warfare in this tiny place like North Korea, and neither of them attacked each other. Declare war. I beat you, but I won't say it, both sides are tacit understanding.
