The Long March - Part 1 (4 of 6)

The Long March is a two part documentary showing Chiang Kai Shek's coward actions during World War II. Japan was invading China and Chiang Kai Shek uses all Nationalist troops and resources to attack the Red Army instead.

Chiang Kai Shek also ordered all troops to retreat from Nanking as the Japanese closed in, causing many innocent lives to be lost.

Im not a communist but I support and take great joy watching Chairman Mao Zedong kick this arsehole hard in the balls so many times throughout this documentary!

Enjoy!

I wanna read those books that Mao read.

Mao was an amazing military strategist and general. Too bad he never took an economics course. If he had, for sure Mao would be regarded a hero by all.

In war I have discovered there are "No" winners, only losers on both sides. In war is it not the poorer people who feel the biggest pinch? How many innocent people were just collateral Damage? other peoples Mothers and daughters, fathers and Brothers, friends or other loved ones, They will never again feel the intense heat of the Sun nor the very bitter coldness in the dead of winter. How sad.

Is all this happening during WWII?

@ugoodHomeBoy It is surprising to see that, actually Mao is still being regarded as hero in mainland China nowadays

Mao didn't govern much over the Chinese economy. It was mostly Zhou Enlai. And he did pretty well, considering the grave difficulties it faced.

And he would never be regarded a hero by his political enemies: as he himself told, the more they' d be afraid of him, the worse they will portray him. And he was perfectly correct. While China gains might and influence, Mao is portrayed as the worst criminal and mass murderer in human history.

Where did Braun come from ? I know he was German , but what was his past?

@inferno0020 I agree. He schooled McArthur during Korean War. Had Kim listened to Mao about guarding Incheon, McArthur's US marines would've been ambushed.

what channel was this on

@AnthraxMuffin I'd read the Art of War by Sun-Tzu.Great read :)

It is hardly fair to call Chiang a "coward". He recognised, correctly, that the Communists were ultimately a bigger threat than the Japanese. As for pulling back his troops when the Japanese advanced on Nanking, he had no choice after the lost battle of Shanghai. Again, it was a correct military decision.

The biggest irony in all this is that the China of today is actually much closer to Chiang's vision than to Mao's. Historians like Jay Taylor or Rana Mitter make a very good case for that.
