In later generations, Churchill was known for being anti-that, and even more so in this era.

Similarly, Churchill was wary of China, both during the First World War, when China was unexpectedly powerful. Or rather, after China occupied two-thirds of Russia's territory.

Perhaps Churchill's vigilance against China was not as great as that of Soviet Russia, but in fact, the gap between them was only the difference between the first and the second.

Perhaps Churchill could accept that Britain would be replaced by the United States, after all, the two sides were of the same origin. However, Churchill absolutely could not accept that Britain's position was replaced by Soviet Russia or China, and this was the only thing Churchill could not accept.

It's just that...

Even so, Churchill was well aware of one thing, and that was that Britain, which had just experienced the Great War, was now in a period of extreme vulnerability. Now to do it with China, this is purely an act of seeking death.

After all, it is different from Britain, which was very fragile after the Great War. After the Great War, China's strength is not weaker than before the war, but because of the great benefits it has gained in the war, its overall strength has also swelled to the extreme.

Nowadays, if there is a war in Europe, it is 100% that wins with Britain. After all, with a long logistical line, the Chinese Navy is not at all an opponent of the British Navy. Without logistics, it would have been impossible for the Chinese army to compete with the British Army on the European continent.

But if in the Far East, things are a little different.

Especially in India, which is almost under the nose of China.

In the case that the road has been repaired to Lhasa. Although fighting in southern Tibet is very difficult for China, it is not impossible.

Moreover, in addition to India, China has a lot to offer. For example, in Myanmar, China can enter India through Myanmar. In fact, compared with letting Chinese troops send troops to Burma, Zhu Erdian would rather exchange fire with Chinese in southern Tibet, after all, the British still have some chance of winning more or less in the case ――――――of unfavorable logistics. But if there is a conflict in Burma, then the Chinese can fully play to their advantages in troops, training and equipment.

Compared to those colonial troops? Churchill never expected the colonial forces to play any role. Even when the Chinese called. These troops did not turn against each other, and Churchill himself was already thankful.

Moreover, after just experiencing the war, the British were completely unable to withstand another large-scale war, and war weariness had enveloped the whole of Britain. At this time sue the British. They are going to have another large-scale war. And it was very tragic and cruel, and the reason for this war was so nonsensical, Churchill had every reason to believe that when the news got out, he and the whole cabinet would probably be strangled to death by the angry people.

"Is it possible, is there really only one way left to bow your head..."

Thinking of this, Churchill's heart was extremely depressed.

Because he didn't think of it. The once glorious British Empire, after a war, would have fallen to the way it is now.

Of course. Churchill also regretted why he didn't resolutely oppose the absurd mention in the first place, and if China wanted to take back Macau, then let them take it back. In any case, even if the Chinese take back Macau, it will take a lot of effort to recover Hong Kong.

But now, fortunately, the Cabinet's decision almost forced Britain into an extremely embarrassing position.

It's just that it's too late to regret it now, and for Churchill now, the most important thing is to find a way to solve these things, which is the most important thing at the moment.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

This series of acts of the Nationalist government has indeed brought great pressure and trouble to the British.

However, the British had no clue how to fight back. After all, they were the first to provoke the matter, and it can be said that they have no reason in this matter. Moreover, as the Nationalist Government responded, the above-mentioned series of acts were carried out on Chinese territory, in other words, the British Government did not have the slightest reason or qualification to interfere with this act of the Nationalist Government.

Of course, you can accuse, but you can accuse, and I can not listen!

Therefore, the British government's position suddenly became embarrassing, except for the order to the colonial troops confronting Zhang Guilin and others in India, in any case, unless the Chinese took the lead in firing, they must not open fire, and the British government did not know how to deal with it.

Naturally, this order from Whitehall annoyed the British officers who were confronting the Wehrmacht in southern Tibet.

Only at this time, they had no other way but to obey orders.

It's not that they didn't think about doing it, and then directly deduced that it was the Chinese who made the first move, anyway, such a thing has not happened in the history of the British Empire. For these arrogant Britons, this is not impossible.

It's just that after discovering the strength of Zhang Guilin's department later, they were a little silent.

No way...

In the process of Zhang Guilin and others building fortifications, as some simple fortifications were repaired, weapons and equipment were also put on the table.

Light and heavy machine guns, mortars, and a large number of others, a series of equipment, almost dazzled the eyes of the colonial commander.

After silently counting, the commander was very surprised to find that these Chinese in front of him were even better than him in terms of equipment...

There is no way, although Zhang Guilin only has the strength of an infantry regiment, after all, it is subordinate to the A Division, and there are more than 3,000 people in one regiment. If it weren't for the fact that the artillery was subordinate to the division level, even Zhang Guilin would have been able to bring out a few 75mm infantry guns.

On the other hand, they were confronted by a very ordinary colonial infantry division. Combat effectiveness aside. The equipment can also be said to be a rotten mess.

In particular, this unit had almost never been on the battlefield, and for the British, who were anxious about how to deal with the Germans during the Great War, and were feeling a little nervous about their forces, it was naturally impossible to waste equipment on such a force that would not go to war at all.

Therefore, in addition to being equipped with a few more 75mm caliber infantry guns, this infantry division not only does not have any advantages compared with Zhang Guilin in other equipment, but is at a huge disadvantage...

And so it goes. Naturally, the British did not dare to act rashly.

After all, the British, although arrogant, have the courage to fight ...

To be honest, Yan Shao has always suspected that the fighting courage of the British is in the navy. Instead of the Army, after all, except for Nelson of the Navy, Yan Shao really hadn't heard of any fierce generals in the British Army.

In addition to a Montgomery, is there anyone in Britain who can be called a famous general?

And compared to the British. Participated in World War II. There is no shortage of famous players in any country―――――― of course, the Italians need to be excluded.

It can be said that among the major participating countries at that time, almost every country had so many famous generals in the army. For example, there is a Patton and Eisenhower in the United States, well, I don't know if MacArthur is a celebrity.

Germany naturally has more of it, and even China has some generals who can be called famous generals. It can even be said that if it weren't for the backwardness of China's weapons and equipment, it would have to fight by name many times. Of course, the most important thing is that they have an extremely stupid. If you like to command indiscriminately, maybe these Chinese generals can really be called famous generals.

However, it is a pity that for many reasons, they have lost more than they won on the battlefield in China. Even if there are so many victorious generals, after the victory, they may be suspicious of their commanders―――――― such as Li Zongren's Battle of Taierzhuang, after the battle was successful, Li Zongren never went to the battlefield again.

Why is this happening? Isn't one of the reasons because their Principal Jiang is worried that this general from the Gui family has made too many feats on the battlefield and his reputation is too high, which will affect his status?

Considering a series of other things, it can be said that it is not without reason that President Jiang was bombed to the island of Taiwan in the end.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Although the British, whether by order or for other reasons, were somewhat reluctant to act rashly. However, Yan Shao and Jiang Baili could not ignore the behavior of the British, so after some discussion, the Nationalist government decided to send a large amount of supplies to Lhasa in advance, by way of the Guò road.

More precisely, it was to hoard a batch of supplies in Lhasa, so that even if there was any war in the future, the Nationalist government could quickly transfer troops to Lhasa without worrying about logistics. As for the number of troops stationed in Tibet, it will remain unchanged for the time being, after all, it is not easy to maintain too many troops in Tibet.

“…… I only want to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated..."Singing Yan Shao's popular song so softly before the crossing, Yan Shao's mood seemed very relaxed.

cough, in fact, when singing this song, Yan Shao was more discouraged. After all, over the years, he has not only been a matter of one person's heart, but even his righteous wife has as many as four people, and now he still sings this song, which will seem a little unfortunate.

However, Yan Shao's mood is really relaxed, and since things have become easier, Yan Shao is naturally happy to sing those two songs in his free time to relax.

But just when Yan Shaozheng was singing happily, someone suddenly walked in outside.

Seeing someone walk in, Yan Shao immediately stopped.

This is not only because Yan Shao needs to maintain his prestige as president, so that people can see the president singing an unknown tune there, what is it, but more importantly, this song is from later generations, Yan Shao is not very easy to explain the origin of this song, so it is better to be safe, and people who come will not sing it...

The person who came didn't seem to hear the song Yan Shao had just sung, and hurriedly walked over after seeing Yan Shao. He also had a telegram in his hand.

"President..."Looking at Yan Shao, that person had an expression of information on his face. A telegram has just arrived from Washington, and the British seem to be about to bow their heads..."

"Oh?" Hear such a news. Yan Shaozhi really became happy.

To be honest, if he could, Yan Shao was not willing to fight with the British, he hoped to have a very stable space and time, so that he could 'practice his internal skills' - ) - this is probably more important than anything else at this stage in Yan Shao's view.

After all, all the things that China has at the moment need to have considerable strength to protect it.

Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to develop its own strength, as for confronting Britain and other countries. It's a lot of nervous stuff. If you can, it's better to avoid it as much as possible.

It's just that...

Not long ago, the British played such a hand, and Yan Shao can be said to be very angry. According to Yan Shao's temper, he will definitely take revenge. And Yan Shao is absolutely unlikely to bow his head and back down first, after all, this is not only related to national interests, related to the prestige of the government, but also related to Yan Shao's own ―――――― while China has been strong in national strength over the years. It has also turned many Chinese people into standard nationalists.

Arguably. They would rather suffer larger losses than never allow their country to bow down to other countries again. If this is really the case, even if this person is Yan Shao, I am afraid that he will be greatly affected.

Yan Shao's had to react also had a lot to do with this, after all, if Yan Shao didn't make some response when the British provoked the door, then the problem would be a little troublesome.

At least the vast majority of Chinese people do not want to rule them by a weak person.

Therefore, Yan Shao had to take a tough stance against the British. The same is true for now.

But now that the British have bowed their heads first, Yan Shaozhi doesn't mind ending this confrontation. After all, this kind of thing is not good for either party. There is nothing beneficial, Yan Shao is not willing to do.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, the British were also a little unbearable, and at the Washington Conference, that is, the Far East Peace Treaty, because of what happened in Britain, the whole conference has now come to a standstill, and it can be said that in the time that it is sung, the whole conference can be said to have almost no progress at all. This situation has disappointed many people, and because of this incident, the British have naturally found many countries that have given Britain a lot of eyes.

In addition, the British are now under greater pressure in India, and the news that a large number of supplies have been sent to Lhasa, it is certainly impossible for the British not to know about it.

In the Chinese art of war, there has always been such a saying, grain and grass first!

Today, the British cannot but suspect that the Chinese are proceeding according to this very old tradition. If China is now just transporting grain and grass to Sarah, waiting for a large number of troops to follow later, then...

This is not good news for the British...

What's more, the road under construction is not good news for the British government.

After all, at least the mountains can block the Chinese now, but if the road from Lhasa to southern Tibet is repaired, then the national defense forces can rush down this road and swallow the whole of India like a tide―――――― yes, this road is not very easy to repair, but it is unlikely to be more difficult to repair than the Qinghai-Tibet railway.

Moreover, in the past time, the Kuomintang government has already built thousands of kilometers of railways in Tibet, and in the following period of time, the Kuomintang government will not ask for much, as long as it can build the railway from Lhasa to southern Tibet in the same time, it will be satisfied.

Coupled with the fact that the Commune government had enough death row prisoners to use, it could be said that when it was decided that such a road would be built, all that remained of the road was completed...

Whether it was the demands of the Washington Conference and the white eyes of the countries, or the very real threat of existence in India, the British had to bow their heads...

Therefore, without the slightest recourse, at this time the British seemed to have nothing but bow their heads.

But...

Even looking down, on the bright side, the British did not seem to have anything to lose. After all, it was purely the British themselves who jumped out and took the initiative to ask for the Chinese to intervene in the deal with the Portuguese, and even if the deal was successful, there seemed to be nothing related to the British except that Macau would return to China―――――― ruling out that after the return of Macao, the Chinese government might use this incident as an excuse to demand the return of Hong Kong...

In any case, when the news of the British relenting broke, many were relieved. Whether it was the countries attending the meeting in Washington, the moderates in China, or even the United Kingdom, no one breathed a sigh of relief except for the humiliation.

Churchill is naturally one of them, and it can even be said that the reason why the British bow their heads also has a lot to do with Churchill.

And the reason why Churchill was able to convince the entire cabinet was only in one sentence.

"If a conflict really breaks out with the Chinese, can we solve the Chinese in a short time?" Is it capable of going to war with China in India? If India is in ruins, who will bear the blame? ”

If it is in Europe or North Africa, maybe the British are confident, but if it is in Asia, especially under the nose of China, Churchill still thinks that he should be more realistic. (To be continued......)
