2020 coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Korean War. The CCP held the “Resistance to US Aid to Korea” commemorative battle. In his speech, Chinese President Xi Jinping took a hard line stating that the People’s Liberation Army has organized and will never allow any force to invade or divide the territory of the homeland. The behavior will definitely give a “frontal attack”. The idioms and sentences seem to echo the frequent harassment of Taiwanese provocations and repeated opposition to U.S. moves to pressure Taiwan. But historically, it is known that China wants to take “lost territories”. The United States Is Not Idle After the Korean War ended in 1953, the United States secretly deployed nuclear weapons to deter the CCP from wanting to use force to invade Taiwan.
▲ Smashing China’s illusion of taking over Taiwan by force, the story of the US military’s deployment of nuclear weapons in Taiwan has been exposed.
Looking back in history, the turning point of the CCP’s transition from “war-watching neighbors” to the decision to send troops to North Korea (North Korea) in the Korean War was that former Chinese leader Mao Zedong received a letter from former North Korean leader Kim Il Sung and needed military support. The United Nations, led by the United States, has attacked the Incheon area of South Korea and approached China’s Yalu River from time to time. What made Mao Zedong mad is that, to maintain stability in the Western Pacific, the United States sent the Seventh Fleet into the Taiwan Straits to prevent the Chinese People’s Liberation Army from attacking Taiwan. Mao Zedong Due to the aforementioned territorial violation, North Korea sent troops to “resist American aggression and help Korea.”
However, after the armistice of the Korean War in 1953, to further deter the PLA from invading Taiwan by force, the United States secretly deployed nuclear weapons at the Tainan Air Force Base in Taiwan at the time. They were MGM-1 Matador missiles that could carry nuclear warheads to the ROC in 1979. Only after the severance of diplomatic relations with the United States did the US military withdraw its nuclear weapons.

The Facebook fan “New ‧27 Army Military Miscellaneous Talk”, who often discusses military developments, also wrote an article today (25) on the history of US Army territorial protection and the Matador tactical missile-missile. The article mentioned tactical missiles. After the Korean War, the Matador (Matador) missile deployed at the Tainan base was developed by the United States to mimic the V-2 rocket by reverse engineering after World War II. Before that, in January 1949, the tactical missile codenamed “XSSM-A-1” was first tested. Although the test results were not satisfactory and R&D was canceled twice, the outbreak of the Korean War and the pressure of the Soviet arms race required a projection vehicle capable of carrying small nuclear weapons. The US Army decided to continue its development, codenamed “B-61”, 1953. It began mass production and service in 1962 and produced 1,200 missiles during the decommissioning period.
The article also noted that the Matador missile can carry 2,000 pounds of conventional warheads and has a combat range of 1,130 kilometers. In the early years, due to the tension in the Taiwan Strait during the artillery battle on August 23, the US military deployed the missile at the Tainan base and carried nuclear weapons to deter China; nuclear weapons at the Tainan base at that time. There are two types: the first were the Matador missiles from 1958 to 1962, equipped with nuclear warheads, and later there were tactical nuclear bombs that could be hung on fighter jets. Furthermore, during the tenure of former US President Eisenhower, 12 nuclear weapons were also deployed in Taiwan, and the Tainan base was the nuclear weapons storage area at the time.
