This paper is divided into four sections, dealing respectively with (1) the disagreeable fellowship between General Pai and President Chiang, (2) their grievance over the election of Vice-president, (3) Chiang's deepening of old grudges caused by forcing him to give up the presidency, and (4) the difficulty in diminishing their resentment even under the mutual unanimous anti-communism.To begin with the first section, despite his appointment by Chiang as the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of China on June 1, 1946, Pai's advice was rarely accepted by him. Failing to use the full force of the troops on hunting down the army of the Communists in the Battle of Siping, for example, was the greatest of regret in Pai's claim as a strategist. Secondly, the fact Pai successfully supported Li Tsung-jen, an important ally in his Guangxi Clique, to participate in the election of vice-presidency, could only but have deepened Chang's grievances against Pai, which brought about his resignation as the Minister of National Defense, though he had to remain grudgingly as the Commander of the armies in Central China in the Hankow region. Due to the opposite attitude towards the Communists, their rift emerged again when Pai defied Chiang's orders by not taking up the initiative to dispatch troops to aid the Battle of Hsupeng. Thirdly, Pai was still actively preparing for war in Central and Southern China after the Communist troops had crossed the Yangtze River on April 21. 1949. Instead of exile like many other high-ranking military officers, Pai faced with the lacking of Chiang's support for his military tactics, had tried to find out any feasible opportunities of counterattack against the Communists as the lighting went from bad to worse. He still steadfastly kept the attitude of anti-communism, even when retreating from Hainan to Taiwan. Unfortunately and fourthly, Chiang out of his bias never placed Pai in an important position since the government reconstructed in Taiwan. There were two main causes for this. Partly because Chiang had felt less trust in local military forces like Pai's since the Northern expedition in 1926 on the other hand, while these varied and many factions also acted haphazardly and half-heartedly in support of Chiang's policy due to their conflicting interests involved on the other, Arguably, and to sum up this discussion, it may be said that Pai's relationship with Chiang during Civil War in China was in fact the very epitome of the relationship between local warlords with the National Government.
