I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 65

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (65)
‘What happens to me now?’
This is Guangzhou,
Chiang Ching-kuo, the eldest son of Chiang Kai-shek, took a cool, objective view of his situation.
Now that my father is dead and China is being trampled by foreign powers, what can be done to overcome this crisis?
After much thought, I came up with a brilliant idea.
‘Yes, the third China-China cooperation will be possible. If China is unified, there will be no room for foreign intervention.’
Chiang Ching-kuo studied abroad in the Soviet Union during his youth, where he met Deng Xiaoping, who later became Vice Premier of China.
Although his father was an anti-communist and came into conflict with the Chinese Communist Party, Chiang Ching-kuo did not view the Communist Party in such a negative light.
What was important now was not the unification of China by the Republic of China, but cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists. Chiang Ching-kuo sent a secret letter to the Chinese Communist Party.
Since there was no point in fighting each other, they suggested that they reconcile and establish a unified government. Deng Xiaoping accepted this proposal.
The problem is that this process went too smoothly.
Is Deng Xiaoping the number one figure in China? The reality is that he is not even in the top 10 of the Communist Party. Naturally, in order to promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, he must persuade his superiors.
If Deng Xiaoping’s claims are accepted in this process, his status will naturally rise.
Will Ma Zedong and his followers accept that?
Fortunately, Deng Xiaoping has the trust of Liu Shaoqi, the number two figure in the Chinese Communist Party.
The problem is that even this second-in-command position was superficial; Mao Zedong had a vassal relationship with all his subordinates and was effectively a dictator.
But what if Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping conspired to promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists? Such an act would be labeled as treason by Mao Zedong.
In short, Chiang Ching-kuo’s cooperation with the Communists was a plan with little possibility of being realized, but of course it would have been possible if Mao Zedong had accepted reality and chosen cooperation with the Communists.
The problem is who can say that to Mao Zedong, otherwise you might end up in the dictator’s bad graces.
But if he missed this opportunity, China would be divided forever, so Deng Xiaoping risked his life to contact Liu Shaoqi.
“Are you saying that the Kuomintang recommended a joint venture?”
“Yes, Chiang Ching-kuo is the son of President Chiang Kai-shek, but he studied abroad in the Soviet Union and has a positive view of communism. If we pursue cooperation with Chiang Ching-kuo, we can establish a unified government. Once a unified government is established, foreign powers will no longer be able to interfere in China.”
“Well… it’s a good idea, but… .”
Liu Shaoqi hesitated to answer.
How will that capricious dictator take this?
The biggest problem is that Deng Xiaoping and Jiang Ching-kuo studied in the Soviet Union.
After Stalin’s death, Mao Zedong purged the minor faction during his rise to power.
The charge against the Soviet faction is ‘collaborating with foreign countries’. If this is true, can’t you get a rough idea of how the Soviet faction is treated by the Chinese Communist Party?
In this way, people with ties to the Soviet Union were thoroughly swept away, but Deng Xiaoping fortunately escaped suspicion and survived.
Would such a person collude with Chiang Ching-kuo and promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists?
If Deng Xiaoping wanted to survive in the Communist Party in the future, it would be better for him to do as Mao Zedong told him rather than express his personal opinions.
Liu Shaoqi was the one who knew that, which is why he hesitated to cooperate with the Communists this time.
“I also highly value your great determination for China. However, Chairman Mao is not the kind of person to tolerate such things. If he knew that you had joined hands with the Soviets and planned cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, he would not leave you alone.”
“Ha… But Comrade Vice Chairman, Chiang Ching-kuo was not a Soviet factionist. He was just someone who admired communism and for cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists…”
“I’m not saying this because I don’t know, am I? Power isn’t a matter of right and wrong. Chairman Mao wants people who do what he wants. I’m saying this for your own good. So, let’s pretend this never happened.”
Deng Xiaoping swallowed his anger in silence.
Now that Chiang Kai-shek has died and Chiang Ching-kuo, who is sympathetic to the Communist Party, has taken power, isn’t this the perfect opportunity to promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists?
Deng Xiaoping became anxious at having to give up such a great undertaking just to save face as a dictator.
‘We have to hurry. If things go wrong even for Chiang Ching-kuo, China will never be unified.’
If the Allied Forces discovered that he was promoting cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, Chiang Ching-kuo’s life would also be in danger.
Delaying the issue would only be detrimental to China, so Deng Xiaoping risked his life to directly propose the matter to the Central Committee.
***
“You’re talking nonsense. Why are you trying to stand out?”
This is Yan’an, the capital of the Chinese Communist Party.
Lin Biao, vice chairman of the Central Committee, scoffed at Deng Xiaoping’s report.
Chiang Kai-shek, who was a perpetual obstacle to the Communist Party’s war for unification, is now dead but has had no influence on the overall situation.
The major cities in the south are still under Allied control, and with Chiang Kai-shek assassinated, Chiang Ching-kuo’s life is no longer secure.
The only way for China to overcome this crisis is through cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, but the problem is that if that happens, the prestige of Deng Xiaoping, who promoted cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists, will rise.
Will Lin Biao, who is likely to succeed Mao Zedong as the second chairman, just sit back and watch?
This incident branded Deng Xiaoping as an enemy of those who claimed to be Mao Zedong’s bodyguards.
The charge is collusion with foreign powers.
Lin Biao, who had kissed his comrades, reported to Mao Zedong.
“Chairman, I have something to tell you. Deng Xiaoping colluded with Chiang Ching-kuo.”
“Collusion? What do you mean?”
“Deng Xiaoping spread rumors that China would be divided forever, and he arbitrarily planned cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists with Chiang Ching-kuo. Here is the evidence.”
“This damn bastard!! I kept him alive because he was capable, and now he’s hitting me in the back of the head?!! This is why you can’t trust the Soviets!!”
Mao Zedong went on a rampage.
It is surprising that Mao Zedong, who set aside his own position as the chief executive, had actually been seriously considering cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists after Chiang Kai-shek’s death.
However, the subject must be himself. He made Deng Xiaoping, who planned things as he pleased, a traitor and put him on trial.
“Deng Xiaoping, do you admit that you not only spread the false rumor that China would be divided forever, but also arbitrarily attempted to promote cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party?”
“I admit it, but I don’t think my thoughts are different from the comment.”
“What does that mean?”
“Chairman Mao is a wise man. He must know that the only way to overcome this crisis is to cooperate with the Kuomintang. That is why I have already made a deal with my close friend Chiang Ching-kuo. Even if it is a crime, I will gladly become a sinner if it can unite China.”
The atmosphere in the courtroom became solemn.
Even if the Communist Party is a gathering place for hypocrites, it would not be easy to throw stones at such words. Even Liu Shaoqi, who knew Deng Xiaoping’s great intentions, swallowed his tears.
But if you protect Deng Xiaoping here, you will also become a criminal.
I had no choice but to watch the sentence being handed down to the criminal.
“Deng Xiaoping committed acts of abuse of power and ruined the hierarchy within the party. He was also guilty of colluding with foreign forces, so his crime cannot be considered light. He should be stripped of all his party posts and sentenced to 25 years of reeducation through labor.”
Deng Xiaoping closed his eyes tightly.
If I sacrifice my body and China is unified, it won’t be unfair, but in any case, I was dragged to a workshop and suffered harsh labor.
About a month later, I happened to hear some shocking news.
“Hey, did you hear? I heard Chiang Ching-kuo is dead.”
“What? What does that mean?”
“I don’t know either. Anyway, I heard that the Republic of China completely collapsed when Chiang Ching-kuo died. Guangzhou is now in a state of anarchy, so it will probably fall into the hands of the Allied Forces.”
Deng Xiaoping was struck by the shock of the sky falling down.
Now that that friend is dead, who will push for cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists?
Now I am frustrated with the thought that China is finished.
“Hehehe~.”
“Hey!! Why are you crying over there?!! Get to work quickly!!”
“China is now ruined!! It is ruined!! It will forever be at the mercy of foreign powers!!”
“What?!! Is this guy crazy?!! Does he want to die?!!”
The foreman beat Deng Xiaoping harshly.
However, the sinners did not care and only cried and lamented, and even within the Chinese Communist Party, talk began to circulate that the unification of China was realistically impossible.
In times like these, the dictator must direct his discontent outward.
Mao Zedong resumed the war for unification that had been stalled for a while.

“Your Majesty, Chiang Ching-kuo is dead.”
“That’s what I expected. It’s not that surprising.”
Today, I butted heads with the ministers as the daily routine continued.
With the death of Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo, the Republic of China has now fallen apart.
All that remains is a shell, and sooner or later the United States will install a puppet president of the Republic of China.
If the current trend continues, Shanghai and Taiwan will fall to Korea, but we cannot rest easy.
Will the US really give Shanghai to the Korean government?
Shanghai is the core of the Chinese economy, and is likely to recognize only Korea’s economic interests while mentioning the China-China zone.
If you want to be fully rooted in Shanghai, you have to take control of politics.
Fortunately, Korea holds that card in its hand.
The Shanghai Jewish political party Aleph is friendly to Korea, and the Japanese, with a population of 870,000, are also raising their voices through a political party called the Greater United Party.
Since both are favorable to Korea, Korea’s interests will be guaranteed even if an independent country is established in Shanghai.
So, are you satisfied with this? First of all, public opinion in the United States is not good.
[It’s already been two years. When will this war end?]
[Who killed Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Ching-kuo?]
[The most suspicious thing is Chiang Ching-kuo’s death. Chiang Ching-kuo died while promoting cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists with Deng Xiaoping. If cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists were achieved, China would be unified and the Allied Forces would have to withdraw from China. Who would benefit the most from killing Chiang Ching-kuo? It would be the Allied Forces.]
American public opinion views Chiang Ching-kuo’s death with suspicion.
Isn’t it because Chiang Ching-kuo died that the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communists was frustrated and the Allied Forces are now effectively in control of China?
No matter how you look at it, the culprit is the US-UK-Korea alliance.
If this atmosphere continues, the United States will also have to withdraw from China.
The problem is that the US doesn’t want it, how can they give up and withdraw from the Chinese territory they occupied?
Moreover, if the Allied Forces withdraw and China is unified, it will be difficult for Taiwan, Tibet, and Uyghurs to remain safe.
Have you forgotten the incident in which Chiang Kai-shek massacred and looted civilians in Taiwan not long ago?
China is peaceful because the Allied Forces are staying in China, and if the Korean government had not intervened in Taiwan, 2 million people would have died.
Don’t you think about that?
But even if Korea says this, it will only bow down and receive praise; in the end, the people of Shanghai and Taiwan will have to say, ‘We want to be ruled by Korea.’
And it is Korea’s role to spread it to the world.
I mobilized all my capabilities to wage a public opinion war against the world.
[There are 300,000 Japanese living in Taiwan, and they have suffered greatly from the violence of the Republic of China. In addition, the government of the Republic of China has framed Taiwanese people as pro-Japanese and committed murder, arson, and looting. The Taiwanese people no longer want to be ruled by the Republic of China.]
[Chiang Kai-shek’s Republic of China caused the Shanghai Incident in 1927 and massacred Chinese people, and this time persecuted Shanghai Jews. Ultimately, it was the Republic of China’s fault for causing the war, and they are not qualified to rule this land. Shanghai and Taiwan should have autonomous governments, and the Korean government will help Shanghai and Taiwan establish autonomous governments.]
Shanghai and Taiwan are places that Korea has its eye on, so they should not be touched, and the US and UK cannot ignore Korea’s position.
How much role has Korea played in Shanghai and Taiwan so far?
If we ignore that, neither the US nor the UK have the right to suck honey from China.
Since we’re going to share it anyway, we have to share it fairly. Thanks to the pre-planning, the negotiation went smoothly.
