In October 1950, the Prime Minister arranged his itinerary and decided to rush to the Soviet Union to hold talks with Comrade Stalin, the leader of the Soviet Union. The result was directly related to China's decision to send troops to North Korea and also reflected the delicate relationship between China and the Soviet Union on the issue of the Korean War.

Regarding the Prime Minister and Stalin's series of negotiations and consultations at the Black Sea Villa, of course, this result was not announced to the public, which led to a wide range of opinions. Many different versions gradually began to spread under the speculation of those who are interested. Some of them even received recognition from many people.

Therefore, in the face of different materials and even very different situations, historical facts cannot be determined entirely based on personal recollections, but can only analyze the purpose of the Prime Minister's negotiations in the Soviet Union and the results of the talks, based on circumstantial evidence materials and logical reasoning. As for many details, it is impossible to verify.

It was not until the Prime Minister's end of the Korean War that we slowly came to some conclusions, but what was the final result of the negotiations has always been a mystery, which has made many people confused. Of course, we can analyze it rationally.

First of all, there are completely different opinions about the purpose of the Prime Minister's negotiations in the Soviet Union. One opinion is based on the recollection of a key member, and it is believed that before the Prime Minister left Beijing, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee had not reached a consensus, so Zhou Enlai went there with the opinion of not sending troops. Later, he received a telegram from the chairman that most people in China still sent troops, so he discussed military aid with Stalin.

Another opinion is based on Comrade Kang Yimin's memories, and believes that the purpose of Zhou Enlai's trip was to tell the Soviet Union's decision to send troops to China, discussing the issue of the Volunteer Army's replacement of Soviet weapons and the Soviet Union's dispatch of air force to cooperate in combat.

But what is the actual situation?

Before the Prime Minister went abroad, the Chinese leader had already made plans and arrangements to send troops. The meeting held by the Central Military Commission on October 6 was chaired by the Chairman and the Prime Minister. This meeting was not about whether to send troops or not, but about studying combat deployment and preparations for dispatching volunteer troops. Therefore, he would not be unaware of the decisions he had made.

However, when the Prime Minister negotiated with Stalin, he did first put forward the reasons why China had difficulty sending troops. And as will be discussed below, the initial result of the Black Sea talks was that China would not send troops.

In fact, this is nothing more than a means of negotiation, the purpose is to win the Soviet government to provide more weapons and equipment and ensure that the air force is dispatched to support the volunteer army in North Korea. Regarding this negotiation team, China had negotiated with General Alkin of the Soviet Union, and Stalin had already approved it. What is the purpose of the Prime Minister's trip this time? It's just to want more benefits to fight against the Americans.

Although the Chinese leadership initially had different views on the issue of sending troops to North Korea, after the Politburo meeting on October 5 determined the policy of sending troops to aid North Korea, Chinese leaders, especially the Chairman and others, had unified their understanding. The Prime Minister himself expressed his approval of the decision to send troops at this time.

At the Military Commission meeting chaired by the Prime Minister on October 6, he said that we don’t want to fight, but the enemy is almost at the Yalu River and we cannot stand by death. This is aiding Korea and defending ourselves. We are also arriving at the military commission. We are cold in our mouths and teeth! However, compared with the Chairman’s ideal idea, the Prime Minister’s idea is more realistic.

In fact, the Chairman emphasized China's determination and heroism to send troops, while the Prime Minister paid more attention to the actual difficulties and necessary conditions of China's dispatch of troops. The two can be said to be complementary and Jiao Meng is inseparable! Because of this, the Prime Minister first emphasized the various difficulties in China's dispatch of troops during the negotiations. When Stalin proposed that the Soviet Air Force was unable to dispatch Chinese troops for the time being, the Prime Minister expressed China's opinion that it would not send troops for the time being.

This is very different from the previous negotiations, and it is no wonder that the Prime Minister's conditions at that time determined his current position. When he first negotiated with the Soviet Union, Wang Mingyu first proposed it, and the negotiations were not the main leaders at that time. In fact, the Soviet Union was unable to fulfill its promise, and their promises were to be held after China participated in the war.

But will China be so stupid? Once China participates in the war, it will be trapped in a quagmire and cannot extricate itself. The Soviet Union is watching the fun and playing the drag-on technique. Then you can only stare at it. So why should China satisfy the Soviet Union without confirming that the Soviet Union does not support equipment and the air force?

What's more, Stalin? He actually regarded himself as a big brother and instructed China to send troops. Although China wanted to send troops, it was not such a way to send troops, right? Besides, you, the Soviet Union, aren't you, the big brother? You can't even help with such a little bit of help, and you're the big brother? It's really a big laugh!

Did Stalin make a consensus decision in the talks between the Prime Minister and what decisions did they make? After the talks, Stalin returned to Moscow. He said that the Prime Minister came on the order of the Chairman. Now that the North Korean army has been completely defeated, Premier Zhou came to seek Stalin's opinion, whether the Chinese army should send troops to prevent the US and South Korean troops from continuing to advance.

It is worth mentioning that during the negotiations between the Prime Minister and Stalin, Stalin felt that the Prime Minister's attitude was relatively tough, and he specially sent a telegram to Kim Il-sung who was far away in North Korea. This news almost fooled Kim Il-sung. This news was nothing else, but Stalin said that China was not ready to join the war. They felt that the current military strength was not enough to compete with the Americans, which made Kim Il-sung, who was originally happy, suffocated to death without breathing.

Stalin even suggested that Kim Il-sung start to retreat their remaining troops to the Soviet Union and preserve the fire of the revolution. Kim Il-sung almost recited the "Three Character Classic"! If he had not listened to Stalin's opinion at that time, Kim Il-sung felt that he now occupied at least half of the Korean Peninsula. He originally expected that the Soviet Union could get an erection and help them drive away the rebels, but he didn't expect that it would be fine if he didn't drive away the rebels in the end, but he actually fell into the wandering streets and became a leader of a devastated country.

After Stalin sent a telegram to Kim Il-sung, the Soviet Union's representative to the United Nations, Vycinsky, delivered a speech on Success [31 Novel Network      Update Quick] Lake, calling on the United States to abandon its "hardened" policy and restore its wartime cooperative relationship with the Soviet Union. He also guaranteed that the Soviet Union would "concise" to the United States. Obviously, this move was also affected by the results of the Sino-Soviet leaders' talks.

The Chairman was very depressed when he heard the news: "We only need their Air Force help, but they don't do it."

Premier Zhou was also depressed, "We sent troops to ask his air force to support us. We asked if we could help the air force, and he said that China had difficulties and that it was okay not to send troops. He said that North Korea was abandoned, that we were still socialist, and that China was still there. We only need the Soviet Union to issue some air force so that we can go, and there were no air force in the air force. Stalin said that the air force could not be sent."

Whether the Soviet Union has promised to send air forces to aid China and whether Stalin violated this promise is the main issue of the Black Sea talks between the Sino-Soviet leaders and a key link in the relationship between the Sino-Soviet alliance and China's dispatch of troops to North Korea, so it is worth a careful analysis.

From a military perspective, the most unfavorable condition for the Chinese army to enter North Korea to fight the US army is the lack of air force or air force support. In fact, many of the planes brought by Wang Mingyu did not participate in the battle, but were left in the country. The only ones who actually participated in the battle were just dozens of planes.

However, Stalin just refused to give in. You should know that Stalin is also a stubborn temper, so no one can shake him what he believes. Tank Stalin has agreed, just the support of the air force. Stalin doesn't know why he refused. In fact, it may be because Stalin is embarrassed because his plane is afraid that his plane will not be able to beat the Americans?

China has no way to do it. You should know that rescuing soldiers is like putting out fires. If it is dragged on, the North Korean troops will not be able to leave any scum. For this reason, China can only say a few words and give up its support to the Soviet Air Force.

However, Stalin still had a certain skepticism about China's dispatch of troops, so Stalin thought of the safest way, that is, they would not dispatch the Air Force two months later. In the Chinese side, the Prime Minister had no choice. At this moment, the Chairman had decided to send troops, and now he could not wait anymore, otherwise the results would not be so good.

After receiving the news that China had decided to send troops, Stalin made concessions on the time when the Soviet Air Force was dispatched, that is, there was no need to wait until two months before dispatching. On the other hand, he clearly stated that the Soviet Air Force was dispatched only to protect Chinese airspace and the rear of the Chinese army, and could not directly cooperate with the Chinese army to enter North Korea to fight.

After the Prime Minister informed the Soviet side of the President's telegram about the situation that the Chinese army had decided to enter North Korea for combat, the Soviet government agreed to dispatch 16 regiments of jets to cover the Chinese volunteer army for combat.

However, when the Prime Minister further proposed whether the Soviet Union could dispatch bombers to cooperate with the Chinese army in combat in addition to fighters? In addition to dispatching air forces to fight in North Korea, whether to send additional air forces to station in major cities offshore China, Stalin said that the Soviet Air Force could only go to the Yalu River and could not cooperate with the volunteer army to fight in North Korea.

It was precisely because of this situation that the Chairman again urgently sent Peng Dehuai and Gao Gang to ask them to return to Beijing to discuss quickly, and the troops were dispatched to "when there was another formal order."

Therefore, the Chairman and the Prime Minister repeatedly talked about the Soviet Union's failure to dispatch air force, which should refer to the situation where the Soviet Union's air force could not dispatch and cooperate with Chinese ground troops to fight in North Korea. Although no direct evidence was found on this issue, the actual situation after the Chinese army entered North Korea later showed that Stalin had definitely issued an order in this regard.

Later, according to many Soviet Air Force personnel who participated in the Korean War that year admitted that "their air force had no cooperation with the ground forces of China and North Korea." Some people said, "The Chinese had no experience in air combat. They asked the Soviet Air Force to provide air 'cover', but the Soviet Union refused."

There were even officers meetings saying that "due to lack of cooperation", once the Soviet Union's "anti-aircraft artillery regiment fired a Chinese aircraft". The Chinese Air Force's memories also proved that most of the air battles in the Korean War occurred between the Yalu River and the Qingchuan River or the Datong River. The main tasks of the Chinese Air Force and the Soviet Air Force were to "cover the construction of transportation lines and airports", "defend the Shuifeng Power Plant, the Yalu River Bridge and the front line base and the main transportation lines north of the Qingchuan River."

The only bombing of US and South Korean military intelligence stations on the West Coast such as Yamato Island, and cooperating with the ground forces to land on the ground, was also independently completed by a certain division of the Chinese Air Force.

In this way, it seems a bit reluctant to say that Stalin had betrayed his promise to provide air force assistance to the Chinese army, because Stalin had indeed agreed to provide air force assistance to China, except for once postponing the time, but he never explicitly promised to send the Soviet Air Force to cooperate with Chinese ground forces to fight the United States.

However, the conditions for sending troops proposed by China were mainly to require the Soviet Air Force to provide air support and cover for the ground forces that China entered North Korea to fight, and the Soviet Union did not do this, so it is understandable that the Chinese leaders expressed dissatisfaction and complaints on this issue.

But these are facts that cannot be changed. Could it be that China would not fight this war without the Soviet Union? No! From the beginning, the Chairman decided to fight this war. After the previous conversation with Wang Mingyu, the Chairman strengthened his position. Why did he always go back on his word? It was just a need for political negotiations.

However, in fact, the biggest test of the heart's ability is not China and the Soviet Union, but Kim Il-sung. Now Kim Il-sung is like an ant on a hot pan. He now hates the Soviets. If it weren't for them, Kim Il-sung wouldn't feel like this situation.

North Korea is now like a lonely boat in the sea, floating in the sea, completely without a fixed place. But the Soviets still shamelessly pretended not to see it. They didn't even want to send out the Air Force bombers. It can be said that the Soviets did this, but in their concept, they might have thought that North Korea would not win this war. They were preserving their strength and preparing for the subsequent plans slowly.

But what Kim Il-sung doesn't know is that the Chairman and the Prime Minister are now studying what the name of the unit that was supported in the past? Supporting Army? Or other titles?

The Americans did not think that China would actually send a large number of armed forces to stop them. When they heard that China sent a volunteer army to come, the Americans sneered, thinking that China was trying to comfort the North Koreans, so they sent such a cannon fodder force to die. When they really knew that these were formal troops, they realized that they had been fooled, but at that time they had no choice but to become the name of the unit.
Chapter completed!
