"According to the principles of the Americans, since they want to defend Taiwan personally and intervene in Taiwan affairs, it is definitely not to help Chiang Kai-shek counterattack the mainland, but to help him defend the island. Therefore, when the United States sends warships, it will definitely tell Chiang Kai-shek seriously to stop Take the initiative to attack, and no provocation is allowed," the prime minister said.

"The Americans will calculate that they are unwilling to take higher risks than they should." Tang Hua said, "If the US warships are responsible for defending the strait, and the Chinese air force or landing ships cross the strait to counterattack, then the Americans will directly attack us. Starting a war is no different."

Li Kenong: "By the way, I also got news yesterday that Ma Jizhuang's acting commander-in-chief of the national army's navy was officially restored. He is now the commander-in-chief of the national army's navy. This was announced by Chiang Kai-shek himself at Gui Yongqing's memorial service. "

The Prime Minister looked at his watch, "It's getting late. Little Tang, Kenong, today's meeting will end here. Apart from North Korea and Taiwan, we still have a lot of work to do."

South Korea.

Syngman Rhee's train traveled more than 230 kilometers in one breath, and arrived directly at Daegu at Cheongju Dhae Station.

"Mr. President, Seoul has fallen into the hands of the red elements. Fortunately, we have planted 3600 pounds of explosives on the Han River Bridge, and we can start blasting only upon your order from the President," said the Minister of Transportation.

"Blow it up."

"Yes."

It was the early morning of June 6.The stationmaster's office at Daegu Railway Station was regarded as Syngman Rhee's presidential office. Syngman Rhee sat in the office with a haggard face, thinking about where to build the temporary capital.Daegu does not seem safe, but if Busan is used as the temporary capital, will it be completely reduced to a puppet of the United States in the future?

Seoul.

In fact, when Syngman Rhee occupied the office of the station master in Daegu Railway Station and sat in a daze, the People's Army had not completely occupied the city of Seoul. There was only one vanguard. The Ninth Regiment of the Third Division of the People's Army broke through under the cover of more than 30 tanks. The South Korean defense line has entered the northeast corner of downtown Seoul.Some government officials, including the Ministry of National Defense and the Vice President, were left in Seoul by Syngman Rhee, in addition to the four South Korean divisions that had been beaten dizzily.

During the day on the 27th, MacArthur took his special plane "Bataan" and landed at Suwon Airport under the escort of 4 fighter jets. From here, he boarded a hill and overlooked Seoul on the north bank of the Han River.MacArthur saw waves of broken soldiers on both sides of the hill, and ambulances marked by the Red Cross withdrawing from the Han River Bridge to the south, full of groaning wounded.After Mae Arthur finished acting on the top of the mountain, he quickly slipped away, because the howitzers of the People's Army were already firing in this direction.After returning from Suwon, MacArthur made up his mind that the occupying forces stationed in Japan must be thrown into North Korea.

In the early morning of the 28th, the Han River Bridge was crowded with refugees and defeated troops fleeing south.Cai Bingde, the chief of the general staff who received the telegram of the bombing of the bridge, evacuated the Army Department from Seoul without notifying the US military advisers in Seoul to prepare for the bombing of the bridge.Greenwood, the head of the U.S. military advisory group, heard the news and exploded on the spot. When he and a few advisers were racing towards the Han River Bridge at four o'clock in the morning, they only heard seven or eight loud noises. The Han River Bridge was broken into several sections. It was blown up together with the refugees fleeing on it.In the chaos, Greenwood forced the South Korean boatmen to send them across the Han River with guns, and escaped.

The news of the explosion of the Han River Bridge soon became known throughout Seoul.Originally, there were still some South Korean troops organizing resistance in battalion units. After receiving the news, they all collapsed instantly, leaving their positions, artillery, and guns and rushing to the Han River. A small number of them successfully crossed the river, and most of them were captured or drowned.

On June 6, the South Korean Army, which had a total strength of 28 before the war, only had 98000 under the control of the Ministry of Defense.Upon receiving this news, Greenwood's evaluation was: "The South Korean Army as a whole no longer exists."

New York, United Nations Headquarters.

473rd meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

6:25 U.S. Eastern Time on June 26th (14th Beijing Time).

"Twenty hours ago, North Korea launched a full-scale military offensive against the Republic of Korea. The message that North Korea launched a military offensive was sent by our Ambassador to Korea, John J. Mucho, and its accuracy has been certified by the Council. Gentlemen, North Korea's The invasion is a breach of peace and violates Article [-] of the United Nations Charter. Therefore, the United States proposes that the Security Council hold a meeting to discuss North Korea’s aggression and reach a resolution requiring North Korea to stop its aggression and restore peace on the Korean peninsula.”

Ernest A. Gross made a brief opening statement to the Security Council, motion.

A motion to open discussions on the matter was passed.

"Since South Korea has not officially joined the United Nations, it is proposed to invite Zhang Mian, South Korea's ambassador to the United States and observer to the United Nations, to attend the meeting." Ernest A. Gross proposed.

Passed.

"As the other party to this conflict, I suggest that North Korean diplomats also attend." The representative of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, a rotating member of the Security Council, proposed.

Not approved.

Jang Mian stepped up to the podium and pulled out a prepared statement, calling it an "aggression," a crime against humanity, and that the United Nations played a pivotal role in South Korea's nation-building, so it had a responsibility to Assist his country against aggression.After reading the statement, Zhang Mian broke down in tears and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his face.

This statement is basically the same as the bill proposed by the United States. Therefore, the participating permanent members and rotating members of the Security Council started a debate on the content of it sentence by paragraph, and then revised or rewritten it.

After a lengthy debate, meeting from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., Security Council Resolution 82 was born.

……

6 month 27 day.

474rd meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

U.S. representative Ernest Gross entered the venue and was delighted to see that the seat of Soviet representative Jacob Malik was still empty as it had been two days earlier.

"It has been determined that the armed attack by the North Korean forces against the Republic of Korea constitutes a breach of peace, and has demanded an immediate cessation of hostilities, and demanded that the North Korean authorities immediately withdraw their troops to the 38th parallel north. However, the report of the United Nations Commission on Korea now states that the North -The North Korean authorities have neither stopped military operations nor withdrawn their troops to 38 degrees north latitude, so urgent military measures must be taken to restore international peace and security.”

"Appeals to the Members of the United Nations to give the Republic of Korea the assistance it needs to repel the armed attack and restore international peace in the region."

Security Council Resolution 83, 7 in favor, 2 not voted (Egypt, India), 1 opposed (Yugoslavia), 1 absent (Soviet Union), passed.

Resolution 82 defined the Korean War, and Resolution 83 began to propose that UN member states provide assistance to South Korea.The next development of the plot will start to become violent.

……

7 month 7 day.

476rd meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

"Determines that the armed attack by the Korean People's Army against the Republic of Korea constitutes a breach of peace."

"Recommends that United Nations Member States provide the Republic of Korea with the support necessary to repel this attack and return the region to security and peace."

"Recommends that all Member States providing military and other assistance provide such military and other assistance to a unified command under the auspices of the United States of America."

"Ask the United States to designate a commander for this force."

"Authorize the Joint Command to use the United Nations flag and the flags of other countries at the same time as needed when fighting against the Korean People's Army."

"Demands the United States to provide the Security Council with a report on the military operations of the Unified Command."

The United Nations Command was established, and the unique United Nations Army in history stepped onto the stage of history.In fact, as early as July 7, the United States was determined to intervene in the Korean battlefield by force.

Security Council Resolution 84, 7 in favor, 3 abstentions, 0 against, 1 absent (Soviet Union), passed.

In January 1950, the Soviet Union attacked the representatives of the Republic of China (ROC) in the Security Council, arguing that this regime with only one island left had no right to represent China as a permanent member of the Security Council.The Soviet Union withdrew from the Security Council after its proposal of "representatives of the Republic of China surrendering their permanent seats" was not passed. For most of the rest of 1, Soviet representatives were absent from all Security Council meetings.

In 2003, the Washington Post said: "The Soviet Union's deliberate absence from the Security Council led to the Security Council's resolution on the use of force against North Korea, which in turn caused the U.S. military to encounter an unprecedented setback in North Korea."

In 2002, Putin said: "Russia will not forget the Soviet Union's short-term boycott of the Security Council, which led to the authorization of United Nations forces in 1950 to almost wipe out North Korea."

The Washington Post is certainly not right. In September 1950, with the authorization of the United Nations, the U.S. military and a group of younger brothers who came off in person almost beat North Korea to death. The Soviet Union regretted it so much that it hurriedly returned to the Security Council.Of course, the Soviet Union would not have expected that China would be able to drive the United Nations troops back to the 9th parallel from the Sino-North Korean border, so it was a regret from September to November 1950.If it hadn't been for China, which surprised the Soviet Union and withstood the United Nations Army, the territory of the Soviet Union would directly border the United States and South Korea.

This was 1950, and the United Nations had been established for less than five years. Many countries, including the Soviet Union, did not fully understand the delicate post-war international structure formulated by Roosevelt and Churchill.

Nor is there an adequate understanding of the subtleties of the United Nations Security Council.

Having said that, there are also objective reasons for this: the United Nations/Security Council has been established for too short a time, and there are not many live examples of local wars or complex armed conflicts. Therefore, most people cannot correctly understand the power of the Security Council and the power of the permanent members of the Security Council.
