With the dawn coming, the dawn appears in the east. Mao Zedong, who didn't sleep all night, walked out of the office slowly, smoking while walking. He does look a little tired.
The countdown to the founding of New China has begun. There are too many things to do, and Mao Zedong has no time to rest. The night before in founding ceremony, Mao Zedong wanted to go to bed early and attend founding ceremony the next day with full spirit, but he didn't leave the office until 6 o'clock the next morning because he was dealing with some important affairs.
When Mao Zedong was working at his desk at night, the guards walked into the office several times and repeatedly reminded him to go to bed early. Mao Zedong only verbally promised to have a rest and didn't leave his desk. When Zhou Enlai learned of this, he personally called the guards and told them that the chairman would have a meeting at 2 pm and go to Tiananmen Square at 3 pm, so he must urge the chairman to go to bed early. The guard put the phone down and came to Mao Zedong's office again, repeating Zhou Enlai's words. At this time, Mao Zedong didn't stop the work at hand, stood up and walked out of the office.
Although Mao Zedong was a little tired, his tired face could not conceal his heartfelt joy. A great historical moment is coming, and the people of China have been waiting for it for many years!

Chiang Kai-shek's official residence was as silent as death. Suddenly, the telephone rang, interrupting Chiang Kai-shek who was thinking. Zhou Zhirou, commander of the Kuomintang Air Force, called many times, but Chiang Kai-shek was hesitant. Every time, Zhou Zhirou got the answer "Wait".
"Principal, if we don't take off, we won't be able to arrive on time." Zhou Zhirou anxiously told Chiang Kai-shek the final bottom line.
Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stood up and said into the microphone, "Mission cancelled."
Zhou Zhirou was puzzled and asked, "Principal, please think it over. We are fully prepared to ensure the completion of the task. "
"Mission cancelled." Chiang Kai-shek once again repeated that sentence more firmly, then put down the receiver and slowly sat back on the sofa without a trace of expression on his face.
(Comment) Today, Chiang Kai-shek made a correct decision: he cancelled the plan of air strikes to destroy the people of China and founding ceremony. This plan was planned by Chiang Kai-shek and Zhou Zhirou for a long time and was carefully prepared for a long time. Why did Chiang Kai-shek cancel the plan at the last minute? Because he finally understood that even if he bombed Tiananmen Square and destroyed founding ceremony in new China, he would only get more resentment from China people and contempt from Americans for his incompetence. In addition, Tiananmen Square is connected with the Forbidden City. If the Forbidden City is bombed and the ancient buildings in Beijing are destroyed, it will become that Xiang Yu burned Epang Palace and the British and French allied forces burned Yuanmingyuan. This will lead to the accusation and spit of the whole Chinese nation and become a sinner through the ages. Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek finally gave up the sabotage plan. It is precisely because of the desperate vigilance against Chiang Kai-shek that during the military parade in founding ceremony, all planes of the China People's Liberation Army Air Force were read with bullets, which is extremely rare in the history of military parade at home and abroad.

Mao Zedong walked in the yard for about 10 minutes, and then went back to his room to have a rest. Usually, he usually gets up at 3 pm. Today, the situation is quite special. He specifically told the doorman: "wake me up at 1 pm."
At this time, when the pointer pointed to 1 point, Yan Changlin, the platoon leader of the security guard, walked into Mao Zedong's bedroom and stood by the bed and gently shouted, "Chairman, it's 1 point."
When Mao Zedong heard the cry, he sat up immediately, rubbed his eyes and said, "So soon!" At this time, the guards brought a cup of hot tea, and Mao Zedong took a sip of tea with his left hand. His right hand habitually grabbed the newspaper beside the bed and browsed it.
Usually, after getting up, Mao Zedong doesn't get up immediately, but stays in bed for at least an hour, drinking tea and reading. Today is an exception. I want to take part in founding ceremony. So, after getting up for a while, he got out of bed and quickly brushed his teeth and washed his face for dinner. After all, Mao Zedong put on the "dress" for the grand ceremony.
This dress is made in a clothing store in Wangfujing. Master returned from studying in France, specializing in tailoring clothes. The design of the dress is Zhongshan uniform, and the material is green and beautiful.
Everything is ready, Mao Zedong went into Zhongnanhai Qin Zhengting Hall to attend the first plenary session of the Central People's Government Committee. At this meeting, the members were announced to take office.
After the meeting, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai and other central leading comrades left Qin Zheng Hall and went to Tiananmen Square to attend founding ceremony.

The distraught Chiang Kai-shek came to the yard. It has been more than eight months since he left his job. He paced back and forth in the yard, bowed his head and said nothing, and there was no smile on his gloomy face. Although the news from the * * * production party on the radio just now called him a "thief stone", which made him very angry, it also made him realize more clearly that the only thing to do now is not to deal with the * * * production party, but to be reinstated as president as soon as possible and make a comeback relying on Guangzhou or Taiwan Province Province. But in this era, President Li Zongren refused to hand over power, and Chiang Kai-shek was very angry.
One day in mid-September, 1949 "I came to talk to you today as the head of state." When Li Zongren opened his mouth, he hit the floor, and Chiang Kai-shek was furious.
When Chiang Kai-shek sat quietly and listened to Li Zongren elaborate on his mistakes, his face was extremely embarrassed. Li Zongren saw that Chiang Kai-shek bowed his head and listened to such a severe reprimand, which was tolerable. He didn't growl or answer back, so he stopped talking and got up to leave. Chiang Kai-shek has been sending Li Zongren downstairs. Chiang Kai-shek was so angry that he couldn't bear it. He roars, "Niang Xipi, it's a tiger falling in Pingyang, bullied by dogs. What is Li Zongren? Come and teach me a lesson. I'll tell you to leave here at once. "

Chiang Kai-shek has been listening to China news on the radio. Every time I heard that many of my old men participated in the celebration of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Chiang Kai-shek stood up angrily and swore: "Niang Xipi, a group of bastards, Lao Jiang treated you well, a group of bastards who sold themselves for glory!" Beyond that, Chiang Kai-shek said nothing else.

After watching the fireworks, we accompanied Chairman Mao back to Ziyunxuan. CoCo Lee and Li Ne took Chairman Mao's hand and walked to the office. Li Ne said curiously to Chairman Mao as he walked: "Dad, the people shouted long live you, and you also shouted long live the people. It's really interesting!" Chairman Mao said excitedly: "This is worthy of the people!"
After a while, two sisters CoCo Lee left Chairman Mao's office and came to the guard's duty room and said to me, "Uncle Li Jiaji, my father called you." I'll see the chairman at once. Chairman Mao said, "Call Xu Shuji." After Xu Ye Fu came, Chairman Mao said to him, "Give these two documents to Comrade Qiao Mu." Then Chairman Mao walked in the yard for a while and went back to the bedroom.
Seeing that he was going to sleep, I helped him take off his coat, put the pillow away and cover it with a gray blanket. Because Chairman Mao never sleeps, he always leans against the bed and reads books and newspapers for a while. I asked, "Does the Chairman have anything to eat?" The chairman said, "I'm not hungry. I'll take a shower later. You go first. "
I went back to the duty room and thought that the chairman should get him something to eat after a tiring day. I immediately went to the kitchen to make arrangements, and then added hot water to the tea cup of the chairman of the East Room and sent it to his bedroom.
"Jackie, what do you think of founding ceremony today?" I was about to resign when Chairman Mao asked me.
I replied, "Great, so exciting!"
"Yes!" Chairman Mao was deeply moved, and then said, "We have done 1 important things in 28 years, which means that the problems on our heads have been solved. It seems that the next step is to solve the problem under our feet. The task of solving the problem under our feet is still very heavy. Building a country as big as ours needs more efforts, right? "

Chiang Kai-shek tossed and turned, unable to sleep. He kept fiddling with the radio frequency.
At this time, a news was reported on the radio, saying that a sabotage activity by a Kuomintang spy had been uncovered in Beijing: "Mu Jianqing, a reactionary Kuomintang spy who conspired to make trouble during the CPPCC meeting, was arrested by the Public Security Bureau of the Beijing Municipal People's Government on the 20th. The criminal is a special agent of the Kuomintang C.O., alias Wang Jiankun, who came to Beijing on September 2 ... After several days of investigation and trial by the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau, the special agent Mu Jianqing has initially confessed that this case is a planned sabotage activity of the Kuomintang C.O. ... "
Chiang Kai-shek felt a nameless fire rushing straight to his forehead, and he couldn't help but fly into a rage: "A bunch of scum!"
The night is getting deeper and deeper. For Chiang Kai-shek, the day of 1949 65438+ 10/0 may be the longest, saddest and most unforgettable day in his life.
