Beiyang reactionaries

"Today our troops continued to go north, and the advance troops passed the Bago Mountains. Chinese reconnaissance planes have been monitoring, and the troops have not taken it seriously. But just an hour ago, the Chinese used a large number of unmanned bombs to attack our troops."

"Unmanned bomb?"

"Yes. It is similar to the unmanned bombs used by the Germans to attack London. The hit rate is not very high, but the bombs are powerful. Sudden attacks during the march still caused a lot of casualties."

"About how many pieces?"

Missiles are called unmanned bombs by the British.

As for the similarity between China's missiles and Germany's, Churchill didn't ask anything.Because who doesn't know that the relationship between China and Germany was the best in the 30s and [-]s, and there were many kinds of military cooperation.

What is an unmanned bomb? The number of weapons and equipment in China and Germany are very similar.Including aircraft, tanks, artillery, and even submarines and radars, the two countries have many similarities.

It is no secret that China's military industry has a large number of German ancestry.Therefore, Churchill was a little shocked when he heard that China also had missiles, but he was not too puzzled.

"The details are still being counted, but no less than a thousand."

"A thousand pieces?"

"Yes. And this is a warning. I think our troops continue to go north, and they will have more unmanned bombs flying over."

"Damn."

Churchill was furious.

How could it be, how dare China?This is a blatant provocation of the British Empire and itself.After all, Duan Xun is still here for a meeting, but their army has already started to attack the British army, what does it mean.

Is China really not afraid of war with Britain?

Or is China just looking for faults and wants to fight a war with Britain?I just swore to Roosevelt that Duan Xun was bluffing.But now China immediately gave itself a resounding slap in the face.

Churchill didn't know whether Duan Xun was just warning Britain or whether he was really not afraid of fighting Britain.

"Winston, there is one more bad thing."

"Go ahead."

"The third and fourth armies of the reorganized British and Indian armies, as well as the first and seventh armies all refused to fight the Chinese army. They directly stated that if there was a conflict with the Chinese army, they would not fight with our army Not only them, many other units of the British Indian Army also mean the same thing.”

"what happened?"

"The First Army and the Seventh Army of the British Indian Army are both troops composed of Sikhs. The leading officers in them are the Akali Party formed by the Sikhs. The Akali Party is currently preparing to form the Akali Party composed of Sikhs. China. The Akali Party began to cooperate with China in the early years, and the army they formed was also supported by China. Most of the officers, including their army, were trained by China. As for the Third Army and the Fourth Army Army, as well as the Second Tank Brigade and No.17 Tank Brigade, are all Muslim armed forces formed by the All-India Muslim League. Like the Akali Party, they are also pursuing the establishment of an Islamic state, and they have also received a large number of Chinese support. Support. This is also the case with other troops of the British Indian Army. Many upper states in India hope to gain independence after the war, so they have a very good relationship with China, which supports their independence. After China controlled the Andaman Islands, it used sea transportation to strongly support these upper states The state formed its own armed forces. Among the newly formed British and Indian troops, there are many troops from these states. Therefore, these troops are not willing to conflict with China."

"What is the number of these British and Indian troops?"

"A lot. It accounts for more than 60% of the total strength of our newly formed British and Indian Army."

Only then did Churchill understand the seriousness of the problem.

Although there are currently quite a few British troops and troops from the Commonwealth of Nations among the current troops, the British and Indian troops still account for more than half of the troops.Now that the British and Indian troops are so unreliable, how could Churchill not be shocked.

Unexpectedly, China's influence on India has been so powerful.After thinking for a while, he said, "Let the troops repair on the spot first, and let our people protest against China. I will discuss this issue with Duan Xun in the afternoon."

766

"In the morning, Duan Xun met with some forces in India."

"Who is there?"

"Representatives of the All-India Muslim League, representatives of the Akali Party, representatives of the Dai people in northeastern India, and representatives of various upper states. The meeting was not confidential and was open. Representatives from Thailand, Myanmar, Bhutan, and Nepal were also invited. , Representatives from various countries who came to New Delhi were invited to participate in the meeting. At the meeting, Duan Xun publicly stated that China opposes colonization, and China does not allow any colonization in Asia. China supports the courageous resistance to colonization in various parts of Asia and their independence.”

"Grand-sounding."

Churchill's face darkened.

For Duan Xun, for China, Churchill was really very angry.If it weren't for the fact that Britain is no longer the Britain it was then, Churchill would have settled accounts with China long ago.After all, China used force against the British army. In the past, Britain immediately declared war on China.But now Britain is still at war, and Europe does not know when it will be able to defeat Germany, so it is impossible to spare a hand to fight China.Even if Germany is defeated, Britain cannot fight a war without the support of other major powers.Years of war have left Britain exhausted, and now Britain needs stability, not war.

So I can only endure it first.

As for Duan Xun talking about independence and colonization, Churchill really scoffed.If other people said so, what other countries said, Churchill would not be too angry.But you China, what face do you Duan Xun have to say such things, China is also worthy of such high-sounding words.

China still occupies the island of Sumatra, and has not given a clear answer, which is completely unfair.Is Sumatra the territory of China, or Indonesia, or Malaysia, or independence.

Anyway, there is no statement so far. China completely regards Sumatra Island as its own territory.Control Sumatra's administration, army, diplomacy, and more.How is China's occupation of Sumatra different from Britain's previous occupation of Burma and Malaysia?Anyway, Churchill could not see any difference.

If Sumatra Island is still an undetermined place, maybe China will allow them to become independent in the future, or maybe it will be returned to Indonesia and Malaysia.What about China's newly established Annan Province?China’s Annan Governor’s Mansion has disappeared for hundreds of years, and these areas have been subordinate to Vietnam for hundreds of years. Now China insists that those places are China’s inherent territory.

It forced Japan and Vietnam to sign a contract, turning those places into their own territory, and then established the so-called Annan Province.

colonial?

China has done more than these colonists.

In this way, China also has the face to oppose colonization?Churchill thought he had a thick skin, but this was the first time he had seen such a shameless head of state like Duan Xun.Other heads of state, like Roosevelt and Stalin, should be willing to bow down to Duan Xun.

"How did those people react?"

"The response was very good, and the atmosphere at the venue was also very good. Everyone discussed very enthusiastically. Duan Xun told them on the spot that the Asian United Organization is willing to accept them after their countries become independent. Those who are willing to develop friendly relations with China can do so. Join the Federation of China as an observer, and China will also support them in various aspects. In order to support the economic development of these countries that have come out of colonization, China has established the Asian Development Bank on the basis of the Asian United Bank and the Bank of China. Asian Development Banks mainly provide loans to those Asian countries that have just become independent, and considering their actual situation, they adopt interest-free loans or low-interest loans in terms of loan interest rates. In addition to this, China also stated that it will take time for national defense after independence Development and improvement. Before the national defense of various countries is complete, China is willing to give them military protection until their national defense can defend themselves."

"Louis (Mountbatten), what do you think?"

"When we were paying attention to the European battlefield, China had already begun to deploy in India and Asia. Under their agitation, the All-India Muslim League, the Akali Party, and many powerful upper states, including India The Dai people in the northeast, they are already ready to move. They just wait for the end of the war and then establish their own country. Now whoever blocks their independence is their enemy. We are one step too late in this regard.”

Mountbatten also regretted it.

I have never noticed that China has already connected with so many powerful factions in India, and the relationship seems to be very good.Most importantly, China has mobilized their ambitions.Each of these powerful factions wants to establish an independent country.After all, establishing an independent country as the head of state is completely different from being a younger brother in an independent India.

Moreover, these powerful factions themselves have little to do with the National Congress Party.After India becomes independent and the Congress Party is in power, it is impossible for them to have a good position.Rather than pursuing independence.

falling apart.

If India continues like this, it will definitely fall apart.Especially those Indian states, if they become independent, India will really fall apart.This is not the same as what the UK thinks.Britain did want to make India independent, but in order to contain China, it did not make India independent in this way.Instead, let India become a major country in South Asia and prevent China from dominating the region.

But what to do now?

"How about the Congress Party?"

"The National Congress Party doesn't want India to split, but it can't control the All India Muslim League, the Akali Party, and those upper states. In the army, the internal strife between them is even more serious. Especially with the All India Muslim League The relationship between them is very poor. The National Congress Party is dominated by Hindus, and the All India Muslim League is dominated by Muslims. The relationship is very poor. There is also the Akali Party who believes in Sikhism. These Sikhs are good at fighting , is the main force of the British and Indian troops. They are not even willing to cooperate with the armed forces controlled by the Congress Party.”

"I see."

Churchill was really aggrieved.

This meeting in New Delhi, India, should have been my home field.I didn't expect it to be so aggrieved.

Churchill's grievance is actually a very real reflection of the decline of Britain.Churchill was aggrieved, not just at the New Delhi meeting.At the last meeting in Tehran, Churchill was already aggrieved.Stalin looked down on Churchill very much at the time, and even privately asked why Roosevelt kept bringing Churchill, his follower.

Britain is no longer an empire on which the sun never sets.
