Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but lose his temper.

In the mid-to-late 1950s, China's surface-to-air missile forces were primarily deployed in North China, defending Beijing. Because China's surface-to-air missiles were imported from the Soviet Union at the time and were relatively expensive, three surface-to-air missile battalions were formed.

With such a small force, it was impossible to deploy it nationwide. During that period, China's surface-to-air missile forces primarily operated in North China. Later, China began deploying some in Fujian, ready to launch missiles if the Taiwanese Air Force dared to enter the region.

So the Taiwanese reconnaissance plane later chose to make a detour and enter the mainland from Jiangsu or Zhejiang. But unexpectedly, it was shot down again in Zhejiang this time.

Chen Jiashang said, "Mr. President, judging from the recent incidents, the Communist Party's surface-to-air missile forces should have been expanded on a large scale. Surface-to-air missile forces should have been deployed in coastal areas to prevent us from entering."

Hearing this, Chiang Kai-shek suddenly fell silent, because he thought of the missile attack a month ago.

In that missile attack, the PLA launched a total of

118 missiles. Although not as many as the missiles launched by Germany against Britain during World War II, their quality far exceeds that of World War II.

The German missile attack on Britain during World War II was the first appearance of missiles. Even at that time, Germany's missile tactics were very simple and could not be considered a true missile war.

However, the PLA's use of missiles this time had a clear tactical objective. This was also the first time in history that China used surface-to-air missiles, surface-to-surface missiles, and coastal defense missiles on a large scale, a mixed use of tactical missiles, to complete a battle.

The missile attack paralyzed the Zuoying Naval Base in Taiwan, causing heavy losses in all aspects. Without sufficient time for repairs, the Zuoying Naval Base would be unusable.

Being able to launch so many missiles, Chiang Kai-shek also understood that the CCP’s current missile production capabilities must be very strong.

Increasing the surface-to-air missile force is also a natural thing to do.

After a pause, Chiang Kai-shek said, "Didn't the US say that the Communist Party's surface-to-air missiles have very poor electronic countermeasure capabilities and that once they are jammed, it will be difficult for them to hit their targets? Haven't US military reconnaissance planes avoided Communist Party missile attacks several times? Why have our similar high-altitude reconnaissance planes, whose pilots are all trained by the US military, been shot down three times in one month?"

In recent years, Chiang Kai-shek's temper has become increasingly worse.

Every time he heard news from New China, he would get angry.

But this time, they are more angry than ever because the United States has strongly demanded that the Taiwan Air Force must investigate the nuclear weapons research bases of New China.

Therefore, Taiwan can only strengthen its reconnaissance. However, since the large-scale reconnaissance of Taiwan's U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft began on September 9, three of them have been shot down by Chinese surface-to-air missile forces.

The entire Taiwan Black Cat Squadron received seven U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft from the United States. Five of them have now been shot down by China's surface-to-air missile forces, leaving only two.

The bigger problem is that Taiwanese pilots are increasingly reluctant to conduct reconnaissance missions because it is simply too dangerous to conduct reconnaissance missions into mainland China.

The entire Taiwan Air Force is filled with an atmosphere of decadence.

"Father, we believe their surface-to-air missiles have been upgraded to enhance their ability to resist electronic interference. The surface-to-air missiles they are using now should not be the most basic version."

Jianfeng spoke out his judgment.

China's earliest produced "Hongqi-1" surface-to-air missile did have many problems in electronic warfare.

Even the slightest electronic interference will cause it to deviate from its target.

This weakness was discovered by the US reconnaissance aircraft after several confrontations. Therefore, the US reconnaissance aircraft won several confrontations against China's "Hongqi-1" missile.

However, during this month, Taiwan's Black Cat Squadron also used American electronic jamming, but it did not cause the surface-to-air missiles to lose their direction.

Taiwan’s Air Force Department analyzed that China’s surface-to-air missile technology has been upgraded significantly.

"Upgrade? The Communist Party's newspapers were all boasting about the successful launch of their 'Hongqi-1' surface-to-air missile. That was just over two years ago. In just two years, their surface-to-air missiles have been upgraded again?"

Chiang Kai-shek didn't believe it, and of course he was even more dissatisfied.

Why? Why did a regime established by a bunch of peasants develop their weapons and equipment so quickly? Not only did they develop domestic surface-to-air missiles, but they also upgraded them so quickly.

"Father, the person in charge of their missiles is Qian Xuesen. He is one of the world's top missile experts."

It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned Qian Xuesen, Chiang Kai-shek got angry.

"A fool who's been brainwashed by the Communist Party. How much money can the Communist Party give him? If he had come to Taiwan, we would have given him whatever he wanted."

Chiang Kai-shek generally has no good impression of the current group of industry leaders in New China.

When the People's Republic of China was founded, the Communist Party of China and Chiang Kai-shek were engaged in a fierce competition for talent. Both sides, in particular, courted overseas students. Consequently, many renowned scientists declined Chiang Kai-shek's invitations and returned to impoverished China to participate in the construction of the new China. Qian Xuesen was one of them.

Chiang Kai-shek thought he was very sincere, but Qian Xuesen didn't even look at him and went to Beijing.

Sometimes Chiang Kai-shek would also fantasize that if Qian Xuesen came to Taiwan, the situation would be reversed. Taiwan has a powerful missile force.

"Father, what should we do now? Should we continue investigating?"

"What are you looking for?"

Chiang Kai-shek felt very aggrieved.

He said, "Tell the Americans that we really don't have the ability to investigate the Northwest. The Communist bandits have too many surface-to-air missile units. We can encounter them anywhere we go in."

Damn Yankees.

You always tell us to go, why don't you go? Isn't it because you are afraid of being shot down by China's surface-to-air missile forces?

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand and let Chen Jiashang leave. After Chen Jiashang left, Chiang Kai-shek asked, "How is the military situation? Has the news of the Sino-Indian War been blocked?"

"Father, I can't stop it."

Jianfeng said with a headache: "The Sino-Indian War is currently a matter of concern to the whole world. Hong Kong newspapers report it every day, and the spokespersons of the Chinese Communist Party are also interviewed every day. All kinds of news are flying all over the place. It is impossible to stop it. And I suspect that the Chinese Communist Party’s institutions in Taiwan are deliberately spreading this news." After the Sino-Indian War broke out, all kinds of news were flying all over the place.

But one thing is certain, that is, the Chinese Communist Army can defeat the Indian Army just like cutting melons and vegetables.

The army of India, the leader of the Non-Aligned Movement,

When they encountered the Chinese Communist Army, it was like a mouse seeing a cat.

Chiang Kai-shek collected intelligence on the Sino-Indian War every day. The more he looked at it, the more desperate he became. The Chinese Communist Army's combat effectiveness had surpassed Chiang Kai-shek's expectations.

Chiang Kai-shek was afraid of shaking the military's morale, so he wanted to suppress the news. After all, Chiang Kai-shek was an outsider, and his ability to maintain his position in Taiwan depended on the military. If problems arose elsewhere, the military could not be affected.

Unfortunately, Taiwan is just a small island, and it must engage in external trade to develop. Since it needs to contact the outside world, it is impossible for Taiwan to really block the news. "What is the situation of the army?"

"Not very good. The Communist troops fought so fiercely that they wiped out hundreds of thousands of Indian National Defense Forces in just a few days. Now the rumor is spreading among the army that the Communists wiped out 500,000 Indian troops. Nehru was even scared to death by the Communists. So our army is now showing a serious fear of fighting."

The majority of Taiwan's military is composed of those who retreated from China and are already afraid of the PLA. Now, hearing about the PLA's bravery, they are even more terrified.

"Nehru is a fool."

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but curse Nehru. He said disdainfully, "You brag all the time, thinking you were so powerful. I didn't expect you to be nothing more than a silver spear."

"Father, our biggest problem right now is not the military, but the financial problem." "What's wrong?"

After arriving in Taiwan, Chiang Kai-shek also reflected on his failures. After reflecting on his failures, Chiang Kai-shek cursed everyone around him in his diary.

Of course, after reflection, Chiang Kai-shek decided to learn from his enemies.

Chiang Kai-shek spent his time in Taiwan studying the CCP's restructuring of the KMT, the Yan'an Rectification Movement, and the CCP's land reform efforts. During that time, Chiang Kai-shek studied the CCP's Rectification documents daily. After all this study, both the KMT and Taiwan were completely transformed.

Just look at Taiwan's grain production. When Chiang Kai-shek came to Taiwan, the rice production was about 15 billion jin.

To this day, Taiwan's rice production has remained above 40 billion jin year-round.

Moreover, based on the industrial foundation left by the Japanese, Taiwan has received nearly US$20 billion in support from the United States in the past decade, which has stabilized its finances.

"The U.S. military canceled a lot of orders."

“Is there much refund?”

"Quite a lot. Especially some orders for daily necessities, nearly $1962 million has been canceled. Originally, the US military orders in were over $ million, but now half of that has been canceled."

The United States was expanding its war in Indochina. After the outbreak of the Vietnam War, the United States had already significantly increased its defense spending in 1961, but Congress had just passed a proposal to increase defense spending by $1962 billion for 200.

Thus, the United States' defense expenditure in 1962 would exceed

$400 billion. This huge sum of money will flow into the hands of America's allies in Asia, allowing them to produce logistical supplies for the US military. Taiwan has received many orders. Taiwan was originally preparing to make a big move, but the US military unexpectedly canceled a large number of orders.

"why?"

Chiang Kai-shek couldn't figure it out.

Taiwan was able to stabilize its finances in the 1950s thanks to support from the United States.

Originally, these US military orders could have further developed Taiwan's industry. And 200 million orders were just the beginning; if things went well, they would surely reach 500 million or even 1 billion. Just think of how many US military orders Japan received during the Korean War.

But why did the US military cancel the order?

"The specific situation is not very clear. But we heard from military officers in the US military logistics department that they are worried about the security of the Taiwan Strait. And they also have other channels to purchase daily necessities in large quantities at low prices."

Chiang Kai-shek frowned.

I still don't understand what the US military means.

"Father, in addition to the US military orders, many European companies that were originally planning to invest and build factories in Taiwan have also canceled their original investment plans."

After the end of World War II, the industrial powers of Europe and the United States entered a period of rapid economic development in the 1950s. This coincided with the maturation of the Second Industrial Revolution and the outbreak of the Third Industrial Revolution, leading to the rise of numerous new industrial sectors.

The emergence of this new industrial sector urgently requires a large number of skilled, knowledgeable and skilled complex labor forces. The proportion of white-collar workers in the employed population in European and American industrial countries has increased rapidly, while the proportion of blue-collar workers has decreased rapidly.

With the development of the European and American economies and the reduction in the number of blue-collar workers, wages for blue-collar workers have risen sharply. However, this increase in blue-collar wages has led to a significant increase in production costs for many traditional European and American companies, weakening the competitiveness of labor-intensive industries in these countries.

Therefore, European and American countries have been forced to adjust their industrial structures, and a large number of labor-intensive and energy-intensive industries have begun to move to regions with moderate economic development and average wages to reduce costs. Taiwan is a place that Western countries are very optimistic about.

After all, Taiwan has low wages, a group of hard-working workers, and excellent ports, so using sea transportation can greatly reduce costs.

Therefore, many European and American companies are planning to develop processing industries in Taiwan. To accommodate these industries and boost Taiwan's import and export trade, Taiwan is preparing to establish industrial zones. The two sides initially seemed to be on a good track for collaboration. However, in the past month, European and American companies have been gradually canceling their original investment plans.

"What's the specific reason?"

"They all expressed concerns about safety."

"Safety?"

"Yes. Many companies say that Taiwan has no security guarantees. They might be…"

"explain."

"The CCP could start a war at any time. If a war breaks out, their investment is likely to be wasted. So they can't afford to take the risk."

"Mother Hippie."

"Bang!" Chiang Kai-shek couldn't help but throw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

"Father, please calm down."

"Have you told them that Taiwan is protected by the United States? The US aircraft carrier is not far away, and the Communist bandits can't possibly attack us."

Chiang Kai-shek was very angry.

This bunch of untrustworthy fence-sitters. They said everything was fine before, but they changed their minds in an instant.

Taiwan has made a lot of efforts for cooperation.

Once the cooperation is terminated, it will be a severe blow to Taiwan's economy.

"Father, the last missile attack on Zuoying Military Port had a terrible impact. Now everyone knows that the Chinese Communist Party's missiles can attack Taiwan at any time, and they can hit anywhere they want. Under this threat, those people simply don't dare to invest and build factories here."
