主题：宽容和谅解···写在写《空军二次文革和后文革》之前 -- 潘涌

At that time could be a joke. More pratical strategy might be to waive Qiang from war criminal list. They both have had too many killings before. Moreover, the country was not very stable-many people in the mainland were still waiting for Qiang's coming-back. I even don't think this is an issue of宽容. Eastern people have 宽容. See how both sides treated Japanese POW, and compare those in Siberia.

"败军和他们的家属不是采取格杀勿论的方法" This is not true - Many of those家属survived, at least I saw many of them- Those sons and grandsons of KMD generals.

The condition of making peace for both side is they play even, and neither of them can defeat another one. Unfortunately, Qiang ran out his military credits very fast due to various issues, such as serious problems in his military as well as the political system; other military lords didn't like him and didn't support him. The military balance between two sides was broken abruptly. Finally KMD even didn't get a chance to bargain with TG.

I really don't think those big guys of two sides would not forgive each other. They might not hate each other at all-Hate in politics means nothing. They were born in such a time that only they grasp the chance of changing the history of China. As long as they have credits in hand, they would continue the game- to turn those possibilities into reality.
