"At present, the 10th Group Army has won a heavy victory in the first phase of its self-defense counterattack, and the military struggle is in a very favorable situation. However, in line with the consistent position of the peaceful settlement of the border dispute, for the sake of the fundamental interests of the Chinese and Indian peoples, and to ease the severe situation caused by the Anglo-Indian authorities, the Imperial Government issued a statement on August 24, 13th Taichu, proposing three proposals for the peaceful settlement of the Sino-Indian border issue. At a press conference organized by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhou Zhongfu's note on behalf of the Chinese* government seemed to confirm that China wanted to calm things down, and Britain was able to shake off the panic, even as Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's approval ratings continued to fall.

"May I ask Mr. Zhou, can the re-entrenched victory announced by your government be understood as a successful armed invasion by China of the Indian army by force? And does the Chinese* government admit to provoking this armed conflict in the first place? "An Australian journalist's question was so strong that it almost choked his nose.

"We should respect facts, not assumptions. The journalist was not wrong just now, and the novel adhered to strict neutral journalistic norms, and made an unpleasant start with biased questions. But in order to let the public know the truth, I can still answer your question. Let's talk about the question of who fired the first shot, not to mention that the Indian army's invasion into China's inherent territory itself has constituted an act of aggression against a sovereign country, and even when our border guards have repeatedly exercised restraint, it was also the Indian army that first shot at our officers and men, causing casualties among more than 50 soldiers. I want to reason according to the theory of this journalist, if one day, when the foreign ** team sets up a post in South West Wales, shoots civilians, and seizes land, if the Australian army counterattacks, it will invade other countries and provoke an armed conflict? Such a ridiculous truth does not need to be evaluated. Zhou's words left Australian journalists speechless. But once again, a reporter from the British Daily Mirror newspaper stood up first.

"Mr. Zhou, as we all know, China is a powerful country, one of the six major countries in the world. Now he is clamoring for India to invade China, and China is fighting back in self-defense, so may I ask Mr. Zhou, how can India, as a small and weak country that has not yet shaken off poverty, dare to invade a country that is much stronger than him? This is clearly illogical. ”

"Mr. Reporter, not to mention that your so-called weak and small countries will not invade the powerful and the big countries, is it a truth? Let's just say how India makes a weak country? Does India have a smaller population than the UK? Is the land area smaller than the UK? Is the history shorter than in the UK? No, if we include India as a small and weak country, then is Britain inferior to India? ”

"Ridiculous, Mr. Zhou, I have to say that this is common sense, Britain is much stronger than India, and India is still under our mandate."

"In that case, India is ruled by the British Mandate, so can I think that the other side of the conflict we are facing is actually Britain as an old power and India under his rule? So the British government is going to invade China? Zhou Zhongfu questioned the British reporter, but the reporter did not dare to squeak, joked, Downing Street did not dare to admit the account, if he was a young reporter admitted that this war occurred between China and Britain, he doubted that he would be recorded in history as the fuse of World War II.

"Mr. Zhou, I would like to ask why your country said that our British and Indian troops set up outposts on your territory, as far as I know, they are all patrolling and defending south of the McMahon Line, but the position of the squadron is directly set up in the northern area of Sikkim, invading Indian territory up to 270 kilometers away. Could Mr. Zhou please explain, is this kind of behavior of driving troops to the territory of other countries considered aggression? ”

"Mr. Reporter, I will not pursue your question for not following the order in which you were asked. Let's start with your common-sense mistakes. Zhou Zhongfu sneered: "China's border posts are all on the Chinese side of the traditional border, and there are not even posts less than 5 kilometers away from the border line, so how can it become an invasion of the territory of other countries?" Also, do you know when these posts were set up? The latest outpost was set up in the 8th year of Taichu, and the oldest outpost was set up more than 60 years ago, when the Manchu Qing minister in Tibet set up a military cantonment. Have you been established for more than five years? ”

"But, however, when Vice King Vivier announced that the British and Indian troops had the right to patrol north of the McMahon Line, we" The reporter's words caused an uproar among the reporters from all over the audience, and even Zhou Zhongfu on the stage could hardly help laughing.

"Hehe, the logic of this journalist is really hard to compliment. According to your statement, if the French Prime Minister declares that the French ** team has the right to patrol north of the English Channel, is it possible to set up a French army post in front of the gate of No. 10 Downing Street? ”

There was laughter in the audience, so that the reporter of the Daily Mirror almost fled. The next question is more fair, Zhou Zhongfu's diplomatic image has made the whole world diplomats see the demeanor of a young Oriental politician, and of course they will be more accustomed to the charm of this Mr. Zhou in the future.

The three main points of China's proposal for peaceful construction are that the armed forces of the two sides should withdraw 20 kilometers each from the actual control line and disengage; Respect for traditional borders and borders that are unconditionally open to private trade. Premier Zhou Zhongfu sent a letter to Vice King Vivier, hoping that the Anglo-Indian government would respond positively to the three proposals of the imperial government. The three proposals have made the people of the whole world more clearly see China's sincerity in peacefully settling the border issue. In accordance with the government's statement, the Chinese border guards ceased the pursuit in the eastern sector on August 25 and assembled north of the Tawang River to repair the airfield, rotate troops, and repair equipment. On August 28, the western sector stopped its counterattack against the invading Indian army and assembled in the Jiagang and Rituzong areas to rest and recuperate. On September 4, Zhou Zhongfu again sent a letter to Chamberlain, calling on the British government to respond positively to the three proposals of the Chinese government, pointing out that China's three proposals are reciprocal rather than one-sided, equal rather than submissive, mutually concessionary rather than imposed, mutually respectful rather than bullying, and friendly and consultative rather than arbitrary. The three actions of the Chinese government and the cessation of counterattacks have been warmly welcomed and praised by many countries and independent people around the world, reversing international public opinion, supporting China's peaceful foreign policy, and urging the British and Indian governments to respond to China's proposals. The three proposals not only once again demonstrated China's sincerity for peace, but also stripped off the self-proclaimed cloak of peace, neutrality, and non-alignment of the British and Indian governments, exposed the true face of aggression by the British and Indian authorities, and further exposed the slander against China by Indian and international reactionary forces.

Although the British and Indian governments suffered a crushing defeat in the first phase of the war, they still refused to admit defeat and brazenly rejected the imperial government's three open demands for the restoration of the border status before September 28, the twelfth year of the Taichu Dynasty, that is, after the Indian army had occupied a large part of China's territory. The British and Indian governments further set off an anti-China wave and stepped up mobilization and preparations for war. He declared a "state of emergency" throughout the country, set up a cabinet to "deal with emergencies," openly invited the United States, France, and other countries to form alliances, dispatched troops from the Commonwealth territories around the world, sent additional troops to the border day and night, rushed to transport weapons, and was bent on fighting again with the empire and fighting with the Wehrmacht. By mid-November, the Anglo-Indian army had added two divisions, nine brigades, and one artillery and one armored unit to the eastern and western sections of the Sino-Indian border, bringing the total strength to more than one. The layout is as follows: the eastern sector, with the 4 brigades of the 4th Division, is deployed along the West Pass-Bomdila road; The 11th Brigade was deployed in the Warong area for the second reason; The 5th Brigade was distributed in the "Suban Sili" and "Xi'an" districts, and the 192nd Brigade was deployed in Tezpur. In the western sector, the 70th Brigade is deployed in the east embankment and the area west of it; The 114th Brigade was deployed in Chulule and the area north of it; The headquarters of the 3rd Himalayan Division was located in Leh.

Vivel thought that in this way he could defeat the Wehrmacht with certainty and even scare it away, and that he could win without a fight. Under the great boast of the British and Indian governments, the Indian army launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Wehrmacht on November 14 and 16. In view of this, in order to obtain a favorable situation in the southwest of China and create conditions for a negotiated settlement of the border issue, it is necessary to deal another heavy blow to the Anglo-Indian army. Therefore, the imperial government decided to fight back again against the invading Indian army.

In the face of another armed invasion by the British and Indian armies, the Wehrmacht was also fully prepared to expand the war, and the main forces of the Tenth Army, two infantry divisions (24 and 29), two mountain divisions, and two rapid response divisions had already arrived in the Shigatse and Cangmu areas through the Guò Qinghai-Tibet Highway and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to assemble and stand by. The Air Force also arranged for the 26th and 27th Tactical Support Wings and the 37th Bomber Wing to be stationed at the frontline airfield in Tibet, and the arrival of the 74th and 75th Artillery Clusters made the firepower output of the frontline defense force far greater than that of the Anglo-Indian Army's 75 mountain guns. Lin Huaiqing's pincer tactics were also revised by General Wu Ziyu as the blueprint for the planning of the second campaign.

The Indian army, which had received reinforcements, finally could not hold back and launched a surprise attack in the Warong area against the checkpoints guarded by the Chinese National Defense Forces on the main roads into the inland areas, and China and Britain rekindled the war in the Himalayas, so that most countries in the world focused their attention on the roof of the world. In distant Central Europe, after the merger of Germany and Austria, Germany once again set its sights on the Czech Republic, a nail inserted into Germany's lower abdomen, if Germany obtains Czechoslovakia, then Germany's sphere of influence will be no longer separated from Romania's oil fields, and Poland will also be attacked on three sides, and dare not act rashly, China, which is not an ally, so appropriately attracted the attention of Britain and France to the Far East, so that Sitara suddenly felt that the opportunity had come, and great changes in Central Europe were imminent, At this time, Britain was still ambitiously hoping to win the Third Far Eastern War and restore the glory of Britain's empire.
