APPENDIX I. NANKING MASSACRE BY
CHIANG KAI-SHEK
THE NANKING MASSACRE EVENT
In order to understand fully how the
Nanking Massacre event unfolded, we need
to start our story from the Xian Mutiny of
1936.
In the morning of December 12, 1936,
Chiang Kai-shek was apprehended by the
mutiny generals' men while hiding behind
some boulders.
This was the "Morning of Infamy" for
Chiang. And for our Chiang and his
American boss FDR alike, one Infamy must
be replied by another Infamy.
So, the morning of December 12, 1937 was
the specified time the Commanding General
Tang of Nanking was ordered by Chiang, in
his final signed telegraph after two previous
attempts by phones, to leave Nanking for
another "Morning of Infamy" to take place.
Chiang was not always a stickler about
dates. For example, one of the mutiny
general, the one who helped him escaped
from his capture, Chiang had the guy put
under house arrest longer than anybody
cared to remember.
But the other one, the more die-hard
mutiny general, got the whole family,
including one infant, butchered with faces
made unrecognizable by acid, only hours
before Mao's men got there to rescue
them.
And the Infamy in this case was that the
victims all still thought Chiang was their
friend.
Also, never forget Chiang was a persistent
person. And always remember: he only
became more persistent if you try to
change him. So, the Mutiny was a big
mistake.
Now instead of just targeting the
communists in China, Chiang went after all
Chinese. That's maybe why later he
sensed a new lease on life in Taiwan, when
he had his once-elusive enemies now all
cornered in one spot -- the Mainland China.
In the Xian Mutiny, Chiang was forced
under gun point to stop killing Chinese and
start killing Japanese. Well, that definitely
made him wanting to kill more Chinese and
to love Japanese even more.
This is the key factor for anyone to
understand Nanking Massacre, and all
the other illogical happenings during
Chiang's rule.
One American Chinese girl named Iris Chang
was a victim of not understanding this
factor, but still with open bright eyes, wrote
a book about Nanking Massacre, "Rape of
Nanking".
And the Japanese rightwing is the current
on-going victim. After a thorough
research of WWII, they still have no faintest
clue as to who had been taking them for a
wild ride and making them sounded like
self-contradictory laughing stocks to the
outside world.
After China declared war against Japan by
the agreement reached in Xian Mutiny, the
first Battle of Shanghai was a shocker for
Chiang, as well as the Japanese. Chiang
was hoping the superior Japanese military
would teach the over-eager Chinese a
lesson.
But instead, the Japanese suffered such a
big loss, the central command in Tokyo
basically decided to drop the inland
expansion plan.
That definitely would be a no-no for Chiang.
He wanted to give Japan another chance at
Nanking. So, he must guarantee the
invading Japanese generals that the
Nanking defense would be completely
disabled when Japanese soldiers entered
the city.
This was why Chiang left no communication
equipment with the Nanking troops and no
aerial support for the artilleries. In
addition, Chiang personally pulled General
Tang out of his defense command right
when Japan started its assault on Nanking.
Today, the Japanese rightwing hardcore still
maintains that there was no massacre in
Nanking and the whole thing was all a
fabrication. But nobody listen to their cry.
Why, all they really need to do is just show
the true military records how easily they
entered the city without any fighting, or
rather, facing only retreating Chinese
soldiers. Then people would automatically
suspect of a fabrication on their own.
But the Japanese couldn't do that, because
the bigger truth here was that "Chiang was
on their side". Anyway, at the time, they
need to keep this horror of a bigger truth
from Chiang's boss, America.
In fact, some Japanese troops were so much
co-conspirators of Chiang that they actually
did indeed perform some covert contracted
massacres, like the one at the Torpedo
Camp, that even most of the Japanese army
did not know about until some survivors
exposed it during the war trial.
America naturally was happy with the
performance of the die-hard, anti-Japanese
Chinese troops in the Shanghai Battle. So,
Chiang might as well capitalize on this
momentum. He needed continue to show
large casualty numbers, or simply fabricate
some photographs that would damage
Japan's image to get paid by America. He
did both.
Three large sources of casualties, all
Chinese this time, two came from General
Tang's do-or-die commitment at defending
Nanking and another, the secret contract
killing by a Japanese execution squad as a
repayment for Chiang disabling the Nanking
defense.
To prepare for an all-out fight, Tang first
demolished all the vessels for escape to
strengthen his troop's determination in
defending the city to the last man. Then
he positioned two machine guns right over
the narrow escape route to wipe out any
notion of desertion.
So Chiang's order to retreat made it the
worst day in Tang's life. This poor guy
must have wished for a life time to gripe
about what Chiang made him to do,
especially after he warned Chiang that
there would be a massacre, even just by his
own people, if he retreated.
But little did Tang realized, it's all in the
Chiang's fabrication plan. If only Chiang
could also knock off Tang, nobody would
ever be able to find out the truth. Ha, only
dumb American generals would judge the
genius Chiang was a military nitwit at
pulling the defending command out his post
right before the enemy's assault.
Why, even Iris Chang, in his book, just
homed in on Japanese brutality in massacre
the non-hostile Chinese troops.
So Chiang made sure Tang would not have
the chance to gripe. He arrested Tang and
executed Tang by a firing squad for
desertion.
But in the footnote of the book, Rape of
Nanking by Iris Chang, the readers are told
that Tang was actually rescued by the
Communists and lived to a ripe old age -- to
gripe. However, in appeasing the Taiwan
government, the wishful Chinese
government censored everything, except
for the little they told Chang that's in her
book, just enough to hint that the massacre
was a fabrication by Chiang.
TWO HEROINES OF NANKING
A few words are in order to credit the two
heroines in the Nanking Massacre event.
The first is Iris Chang, the author of "Rape of
Nanking".
For a good analytical reader, Chang's book
has already convicted Chiang as the
fabricator of Nanking Massacre with the
information the Chinese communists
revealed to Chang.
It's almost a matter of time, she herself
would have realized, or by some convincing
arguments from an analytical reader, that
Nanking Massacre was a fabrication,
especially in the backdrop of, what Chang
deemed as, the criminal American Bush
administration.
The problem here is that, by then it would
all be too late. The upsurge of grassroots
momentum of anti-Japanese sentiment,
backed by the Chinese Christian converts'
fierce anti-Asia stand, West's imperialistic
ambition and the untold riches of the
Sun-Chiang trust fund, has already swell to
a uncontrollable level.
Iris Chang would not be able to live with the
truths, while her fanatical followers were
cheering her on for her sincere lies. Guess
that's when people commit suicide. And
she did.
But the cause for her suicide was generally
accepted to be mental stress. What
horror could cause this kind of life
threatening stress? We can either find it
out and put it into history books, or let it
repeat itself in real life.
In fact, Iris Chang's real life tragedy itself
was a repeat of another heroine's from
Nanking, Minnie Vautrin.
Vautrin was a first-hand eyewitness of
Nanking Massacre. Her diaries basically
described the war-zone atmosphere of the
transition from the Chiang administration to
the Wang Jing-wei government.
Like Iris Chang, she too had a "mental
breakdown". And she had to go back to
America for treatment. She left a diary,
but the last few entries have been altered
by someone else. Here we may have to
borrow the notes left by Chang to
hypothesize the motive for the alteration.
Also like Chang, when she got cured and
could see everything clearly, she decided
not to live with what she was seeing.
Vautrin was a contemporary of Chiang
Kai-shek, living amidst the dirtiest of
Chiang's trickeries，which were much more
sinister than the born-loser Bush would
ever come up. It's hard, therefore, to
blame her for not knowing what hit her to
make her quietly sealed all the windows in
her apartment and turned on the gas stove
without lighting it.
A small clue deserves to be mentioned here.
That is, Vautrin was quoted to have said:
"Had I ten perfect lives, I would give them
all to China." Well, someone in China
disappointed her deadly, and the someone
was a fellow Christian.
So Iris Chang lived and suffered under Bush,
Jr. Deeply disappointed and grudgingly,
she went out and bought a gun just 2 days
after finding out Bush was elected for a
second term. And here is what in the
notes she left behind before she used the
gun to end her life (instead on Bush?):
"... I can never shake my belief that I was
being recruited, and later persecuted, by
forces more powerful than I could have
imagined. Whether it was the CIA or some
other organization, I will never know. As
long as I'm alive, these forces will never
stop hounding me.... "
"... I believe my detention at Norton
Hospital was the government's attempt to
discredit me. I had considered running away,
but I will never be able to escape from
myself and my thoughts. I am doing this
because I am too weak to withstand the
years of pain and agony ahead."
The existence of the notes was reconfirmed
by her dad, but he cautioned us that the U.S.
government has told him not to discuss this
with other people, as well as to tell other be
hush hush about them.
Professor Darrell Y. Hamamoto of Dept. of
Asian American Studies, University of
California, Davis, still braved some
conclusion in line with her notes:
"Quite possibly Chang had found during the
course of her research and political
involvement on behalf of those who
experienced profound losses during
wartime that her own American
government was complicit if not at the
center of the multiple holocausts of the
twentieth century."
NANKING MASSACRE PHOTO ALBUM
Ok, if you wait long enough, truth will
surface by itself. This was the case with
Qian Xinming regarding his role in the
fabrication of the Nanking Massacre.
Iris Chang's notes were warned not to be
discussed, but the following new revelation
on Qian Xinming surfaced in 2009 and
disappeared by 2015 in China.
It was about the true activities of Qian in
producing the Nanking Massacre photo
album, with which Chiang Kai-shek and his
master spy Dai Li tried so carefully to
dissociate themselves with.
It was an article coming out in 2009, right
around the time China and Japan decided to
jointly research and write what exactly
happened in Nanking during the winter of
1937.
But it was nowhere to be found by 2005.
It might have something to do with
America's displeasure at Japan's second call
for "East Asia Community" in 2010.
America did do something nasty to scare
Asia to back off, like the sinking of South
Korea warship Cheonan and even the once
in a thousand years Japanese
earthquake-tsunami nuclear accident.
In the 1980's, the testimonies of the
widows of Chiang and Dai Li's spies, who
participated in the creation of the Nanking
Massacre's photo album, revealed new data
about the circumstances under which the
album was produced.
According to the old data from Chiang and
Dai, Qian betrayed their trust and defected
to the Japanese immediately after the
Japanese occupied Nanking.
The author of the book "Spymaster: Dai Li
and the Chinese Secret Service" by Frederic
Wakeman, had one short paragraph in this
book, telling the world that Qian basically
did nothing for Dai and Chiang while in
Nanking, based on an announcement by Dai
to the public that Qian defected.
Also in the early 1980, one high official in
Taiwan's intelligence community, in his
memoir, also stated that "Qian sacrificed his
life gallantly in China's Resisting-Japan
War".
But the widows of Qian's spies, who were
sold out by Qian to the Japanese military
police, told a vastly different story. They
exposed Qian as the creator of the
infamous Nanking Massacre photo album.
Qian led a group of spies into the slums of
Nanking during the time Nanking fell to the
Japanese. Together they were supposed
to photograph the massacres and rapes by
the Japanese soldiers and sent them to
their bosses, Chiang Kai-shek and his master
spy Dai Li, in Hankou.
Three years later, on October 9, 1940, Qian
Xinming himself surrendered to the
Japanese, and then sold out his
subordinates to the Japanese to have they
all executed. But in January, 1941, Qian
himself was arrested and executed by the
Japanese.
The reason for their deaths was because
they were found to be the authors of the
fabricated Nanking Massacre photo album,
which, more than any other anti-Japanese
propaganda material, has caused
unerasable images of hatred in Chinese
minds about Japanese brutality in China.
However, to this day, Japanese researchers
have refuted the authenticity of this album.
None of the photos seems entirely genuine.
The results of a thorough analysis of the
photos proved the photos were either not
taken in the cold winter of Nanking, noting
the clothes being worn, or they were
doctored by somebody.
Some photos even have the same faces
shown on either the Japanese soldiers or on
their Chinese victims. And the most
memorable photos are so sexually
repugnant that their propaganda values are
of biblical proportion.
The photo album had to be the product of
truly sick minds, who seem to have
self-scripted, self-directed and self-enacted
the photo shoot.
Well, Chiang Kai-shek did say he liked to
trust Christians. So, they might be all used
to things that were pervert and filthy.
Today, the Nanking Massacre community
has become an unshakable cult of lies.
Why, the whole Christian faith does have
strong sexual appeal, unlike the boring
godless Asian philosophies. And a
fabrication could really use some sexual
sensationalism.
The following evidence on Chiang and Dai
Li's premeditated activities further
substantiate the view: Chiang Kai-shek
intentionally fabricated the Nanking
Massacre.
It appeared that after Chiang and Dai
planned out their operation, they need a
story to dissociate themselves from Qian.
Here is the story Dai used:
Dai, at first, told his own boss, Chiang
Kai-shek, that Qian was completely reliable
and capable of accomplishing the task of
doing underground work in the Japanese
occupied Nanking.
But the minute Nanking fell, Dai announced
to the world that Qian led his spies to
defect to the Japanese. Dai specifically
admitted that he was "blind" to the true
character of Qian and "has deeply lost face
in front of Chiang Kai-shek".
But now we know Dai Li and Chiang
Kai-shek lied in order to hide something,
since Qian did not defect until 2 years later,
according to the recent testimonies of the
spies' widows.
And during the same time period in which
Dai Li wanted the world to believe Qian
defected was when the Nanking Massacre
photo album was being produced and sent
to Dai himself in Hankou. Obviously final
destination was America in its preparation
for the coming war with Japan.
Now we all know that the album production
was a planned operation by Chiang Kai-shek
and Dai Li. Qian Xinming was their point
man. Qian was ordered to do the photo
shoot and send the photos to Dai Li in
Hankou.
Then Dai Li tried to dissociate Chiang and
himself from Qian's operation by telling a lie
that Qian had defected to the Japanese,
during the time he was actually executing
the operation, so that there was no Nanking
Massacre Album being fabricated by Qian.
At the end, America got all the propaganda
material to smear Japan toward justifying a
war in Asia, and Chiang had his first revenge
for the humiliation he suffered at the Xian
Mutiny at its first anniversary in the form of
two self-slaughtering by the retreating
Chinese troops and a secret mass slaughter
of what's left of the 90,000
communist-leaning Chinese troop in
contracted killings by a Japanese squad.
As a bonus, Chiang also arranged for the
conversion to Christianity of tens of
thousands of Chinese refugees in Nanking
that would make up quite a post-war
community for substantiating his ingenious
Nanking Massacre.
In the early 1930's, the forgery "Tanaka
Memorial" was published in Shanghai to
poison the blood of Chinese people toward
Japan. Now this Nanking Massacre photo
album put the nails on the coffin of
Sino-Japanese relationship up to this day.
NANKING MASSACRE DOCUMENTARIES
XIAN MUTINY AND NANKING MASSACRE'S
IMPACT ON ASIA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APlM
Mo1cHhI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMm5
HWoOEmc
Several other documentaries have since
emerged on "NANKING MASSACRE". Most
are just self-back-patting Christian and
West's propaganda for Japan bashing with
the purpose of dividing and conquering
Asia.
One of the very first Nanking Massacre
video was by a person who loved to show
on TV and in meetings all the offending
obscene photos, which could very well be
fabricated by Qian et al.
His favorite subject of presentation was
comparing the Japanese samurai sword to
the male sex organ. The guy wound up
suing the Nanking Massacre Committee for
not sharing the donations they collected.
But one film, recovered from all the
truth-telling first-hand record keeping by
the Japanese that the West supposedly has
managed to destroy, was "Nanking". As
usual it's mostly poor and futile propaganda
attempts by the introvert Japanese.
This film, however, does serve as a
confirmation of what we have just
described. For example, the only clear
assault on Nanking was two soldiers used a
15-meter long ladder to climb up a deserted
city wall and raise some Japanese flags.
Then on top of these tall defensive walls,
out of every opening looking down from the
exterior walls, there were long ropes braced
across the openings for people to let
themselves down out of the city. The
Japanese soldiers joked about the strange
ways the Chinese soldiers retreated.
They did show some sporadic fighting
against invisible enemies at noon on
December 12, 1937. This pretty much check
out our own timeline on the dot，specifically,
Nanking Massacre was planned to happen
on the 1st anniversary of the Xian Mutiny.
Then on December 15, they had the victory
march into the abandoned city.
And the film showed a lot of anti-Japanese
posters on Nanking streets. To refute that,
the commentator of the film criticized the
Chinese residents' immorality for habitually
cut in line in public lineups, rather than wait
for their turn starting at the end of the line.
Finally, all were forgiven, when they
replaced the old Chinese posters with new
Japanese posters, and everyone got into a
festive mood, with children playing with
firecrackers, to celebrate the New Year.
The concluding general message from the
invading Japanese was:
"In addition, shall we pray till we shout for
joy of the peace for Asia and the friendship
between Japan and China."
BEHAVIOR PATTERNS ANALYSIS
Now we have described what really
happened in Nanking from the events that
led to the mayhem caused by Chiang
Kai-shek's order to retreat just when
Japanese started to assault on the city.
Since this was real life, not a movie, we can
actually present some continuity and
consistency in the behaviors of the
characters involved. Namely, we need to
present examples of behavior patterns of
the Japanese soldiers and Chiang Kai-shek
in other similar settings.
Since Japan was singled out for war-time
sexual conducts, let's pick an event where a
comparative description with the other
countries can be found and the setting
should be also China.
This was the Boxer Rebellion in the early
1900. And here are the comparisons, and
this time we shall also single out the
Western Allies' soldiers for criticism as the
world did to Japan both in Nanking and also
on "comfort women" in Korea:
While one historical account reported that
"Japanese troops were astonished by other
Alliance troops raping civilians", Roger
Keyes, who commanded the British
destroyer Fame noted that "the Japanese
had brought their own 'regimental wives'
(or prostitutes) to the front to keep their
soldiers from raping Chinese civilians."
"Thousands of Chinese women committed
suicide;" The Daily Telegraph journalist E. J.
Dillon stated "it was to avoid rape by
Alliance forces," and he witnessed the
mutilated corpses of Chinese women who
were raped and killed by the Alliance
troops.
The French commander dismissed the rapes,
attributing them to "gallantry of the French
soldier."
A foreign journalist, George Lynch, said
"there are things that I must not write, and
that may not be printed in England, which
would seem to show that this Western
civilization of ours is merely a veneer over
savagery."
Finally, a recent documentary did show that
America GIs also enjoyed some massive
"comfort stations" in Japan during their stay
after Japan surrendered. However, the
story back home in America has been the
"Madam Butterfly" romance.
Let's also take a 180 degree turn to look at
some admirable part of the Japanese
military by introducing this Japanese
general, who was the top commander of
the Japanese Army in China, and the one
that Chiang used as excuse for causing the
Yellow River Flood of 1938. After the war,
Chiang personally also made absolutely sure
he was convicted as a Class-A Japanese War
Criminal(for knowing too much?)：
Kenji Doihara was Japan's "China old hand".
He has read the Chinses Classic novels,
"Three Kingdoms" and "Outlaws of the
Marsh", therefore, was familiar with
Chinese national characteristics. Thus, he
was a man of integrity and righteousness.
Doihara was also known by people as a man
of his words and always keep his
commitment.
Even the famous Anti-Japanese Chinese
General Ma Zhanshan said that "Doihara
does not lie"; General Song Zheyuan also
commented on Doihara that he said what
he meant; General De Wang, even when
he's vehemently scolding the Japanese, but
when it came to talking about Doihara, he
would change the tong and said of Doihara,
"He understands; he understands; he says
what he means. "
Was General Doihara really a Class-A War
Criminal? The following verdict by Judge
Radhabinod Pal in the war trial may shed
some light.
Judge Pal was the only independent judge
appointed to the "Tokyo Trials" of Japanese
war crimes committed during the Second
World War.
Among all the judges of the tribunal, he was
also the only one who submitted a
judgment which insisted all defendants
were not guilty. But the publication of
Judge Pal's 1,235-page dissent was banned
from release to the public, until recently.
He argued that the United States had
clearly provoked the war with Japan and
expected Japan to re-act.
In 1966, Pal visited Japan and said that he
had admired Japan from an early age for
being the only Asian nation that "stood up
against the West".
Hopefully the above presentations will send
a message to journalists and historians to
condemn all wars, rather than to whitewash
your own wars with sexual sensationalism
committed by your enemy's wars.
Guess by now, you could not wait to find
out the secretive behavior patterns of our
own Chiang Kai-shek. There were really too
many to mention. Here we will only
describe two events:
1. The "largest act of environmental
warfare in history" -- Yellow River
Flood of 1939.
"An official history of the war put the dead
in the flood at 900,000 and the refugees at
nearly 10 million." This was right after
Chiang caused the flood.
But the flood and famine spread to 3
provinces and lasted from 1938 to 1945.
Now we finally solve the mystery about the
"Three Alls Policy" - kill all, burn all and loot
all. They were not done by the Japanese,
and they missed: drown all by not alerting
the downstream residents.
Here is another comparison of the
relationship between Japanese soldiers
with the Chinese people and that of
Chiang's soldiers with his own people.
"However, because there were many
Chinese civilians killed during the flood by
the KMT(Chiang's) Party, most of the
civilians residing in that area began to
cooperate with the Japanese."
Actually, at this stage of Chinese history,
the Chinese people disliked the Japanese,
hated Chiang, and considered themselves
all communists at heart. Yet, Chiang has
never given up lying to the people, just like
in Nanking and here at Yellow River:
"The Nationalist government, after initially
claiming that the breach was caused by
Japanese bombing, used the heavy
casualties to demonstrate the scale of
sacrifice required of the Chinese people; it
claimed that 12 million people had been
affected by the flood."
Here is another lie attempt by Chiang. The
Wikipedia on General Tang Shengzhi of
Nanking Massacre fame had the following
concluding remark：
"Despite Chiang Kai-shek's support and
protection, Tang was blamed for the failure
that resulted in the consequent Nanjing
Massacre。"
Nice try to whitewash Chiang Kai-shek!
But we expect this kind of shameless
attempt from the never-giving-up Chiang.
Now we have ruled out any unusual effort
by Japan, this view from Wikipedia requires
us to judge: which is the real criminal party
-- Tang or Chiang? This is a question of
national image for all Chinese who are
interested in Nanking Massacre.
But for the rest of the world, their position
would accordingly be that:
1. If Tang was the cause of Nanking
Massacre, by obeying Chiang's order
to retreat, then the China Communist
Government should take the
responsibility for the atrocity.
2. If Chiang was the cause with his order
to retreat, then his remnant
government in Taiwan should be
responsible.
All Chinese who still observe the Nanking
Massacre Anniversary should answer this
question before doing so next time.
Mao was the one who exposed Chiang, not
the Japanese, as the creator of the Yellow
River Flood. But how come he didn't
expose the Japanese, or even Chiang or
Tang, about the Nanking Massacre?
It's because there was no massacre, except
ones that done in utter secrecy, even
though Mao must had a detail report from
General Tang.
Now with Japanese army's image
completely smeared by lies of Nanking
Massacre and Yellow River Flood, Japan's
China liberation effort was turned into a
bona fide brutal invasion.
Even the strategic value of the flood has
been questioned. Japanese troops were out
of its range. They took Wuhan in October
by attacking from a different direction.
After Wuhan fell, 200,000 refugees moved
to Changsha and caused the population in
Changsha to swell from 300,000 to 500,000.
This didn't look good in terms of how
Chiang's mind works. So, here we go
again...
CHANGSHA FIRE BY CHIANG
Because of a lack of confidence in holding
the city, Chiang Kai-shek suggested that the
city should be burned to the ground, so that
Japan would gain nothing even if it chose to
forcefully enter it. Here is what happened
in Changsha:
2. The greatest human-caused citywide
fire in Chinese history -- Changsha fire
of 1938
Chiang Kai-shek ordered the city be set on
fire, to keep its wealth from the Japanese.
Many people were killed when the water in
the fire trucks was replaced by gasoline.
More than 30,000 people lost their lives
during the fire. Over 90%, or 56,000, of the
city's buildings were burned.
The result of this fire made Changsha one of
the most damaged cities during World War
II, alongside Stalingrad, Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. (Could Chiang, Hitler and Truman
be in a three way killing competition?)
Lucky for Japan, at the end of the Battle of
Changsha, Japanese troops were
successfully repelled by the Chinese
defenders, because Changsha's
commanding general was never recalled by
Chiang.
Otherwise, today we might just see a
"Changsha Massacre Memorial", which
would be erected to tell the world that
Changsha was the most devastated city,
courtesy of the Japanese.
The basic difference that made Nanking fell
to the Japanese and allowed Changsha to
repel the Japanese was that the
Commanding General Tang of Nanking was
someone Chiang had once fought against in
battlefield and later ordered him to be
assassinated by Dai Li even when they were
on the same side, but the Generals in
Changsha were Chiang's future
Vice-Presidential hopefuls.
Finally, what kind of city is Changsha that
made Chiang wanting to burn it? It's the
hometown of Mao Zedong. Well, when
we are at it, how about Nanking? It's the
headquarter of China's Christian converts.
The Taipin Christian rebels once made it the
capital of their all-Christian regime.
If you still not quite clear about how
Chiang's mind worked, here are some more
examples that illustrates his true feelings
toward China, Japan and America, and even
Russia.
After Japan surrendered, Chiang even
ordered the Japanese troops in the
Northeast China to fight the Mao's peasant
army for another month. But Japan not
only refused, but instead armed 700,000 of
Mao's troop with quality weapons that
eventually allowed Mao to beat Chiang.
When Chiang was preparing for the final
battle against Mao in Shanghai, he told his
generals that if they could hold on for six
months, the United States would use
nuclear weapons to defeat Mao.
Then, back to China's Northeast territory,
where Russia occupied a lot of land, Chiang
asked the Russians to postpone their
returning the land to China, giving the
Russians a chance to bring home 2 billion
dollars' worth of heavy-industry equipment.
Finally, to be really certain about Chiang's
feeling about Japan throughout the war, we
should take a look at a short news item in
the Sing Tao Daily.
It was at the time Chiang was just about to
leave China and go to Taiwan. His wife
asked him to go to the West instead, but
Chiang replied: "If I go anywhere other than
Taiwan, I would go to Japan."
"CHIANG FACTOR" REMOVED
Chiang will be a small figure with huge
influence in history. It would be an
interesting what-if exercise to remove the
"Chiang factor" in China and see how
history would have evolved.
So, what if China was not handicapped by
Chiang Kai-shek?
China would be able to hold off Japan for, at
least, six months at Nanking, according to
the "Rape of Nanking" book by Iris Chang.
During that time, reinforcements from
Changsha and everywhere else would be
able to attack the Japanese assaulting
troops from the rear.
Eventually, Japan would be forced to sign a
conditional surrender peace agreement.
And the condition was that Japan joined up
with China to liberate the whole Asia.
This would be possible, because, although
the absent Chiang would be against it, both
China and Japan have been doing just that
all along and up to now.
Thus China and Japan would form a united
front against the Western colonists. That
would also have saved America the effort
from launching a military operation to
"rescue" Asia from Japan. And the world
would turn around from war to peace
starting from Asia.
Finally, we owe Japan for presenting their
own view by showing the lastest
documentary they made:
