Section 541 Asia Minor Raiders are busy

After the First World War, Britain actively pursued a colonial policy in Iraq. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe British civil attaché in Iraq is in charge. The provincial officials were all British, and they held the overall power. Britain dumped goods into Iraq on the one hand, and plundered grain and industrial raw materials from Iraq on the other. In order to pay for the huge cost of the occupation, Britain took measures to raise taxes. In 1919-1920, the taxes of the Nasiria district of the lower Euphrates were more than 20 times higher than in 1915-1916. Iraq's national industry has been hit hard, prices have skyrocketed, and food is in short supply. Under these conditions, armed insurrections against British colonial rule occurred from time to time, and some nationalist organizations were secretly established. The largest of these organizations are the Independent Defence Association and the Iraqi Covenant Party. Both groups demanded Iraq's independence and advocated a constitutional monarchy, but the latter had strong pro-British tendencies. This is not uncommon in the British colonies, the Congress Party was also a club of pro-British Indian high-caste people, if it weren't for the fact that the British were too weak to control the colonies, and the Yankees became the big brother, they didn't want the former leading brother to have so many children, maybe India would have a vice king.

In late April 1920, the Conference of San Remo decided to place Iraq under the British Mandate. In early May, representatives of the Association for the Defence of Independence, the Covenant Party and Shiites, Sunnis, and districts such as Sheila and Najaf met to prepare for an armed uprising. On the 25th, 15 delegates were elected to negotiate with the British, among whom was the leader of the Association for the Defense of Independence, Jafar?? Abu?? Timan, Muhammad?? Sadr, Yusifor?? Suweidi and the Covenant Party's Nagshabandi, among others. Under the influence of pro-British forces, the deputies acted weakly. During the negotiations, they put forward demands for the convening of a national congress and the establishment of an Iraqi government, but were directly rejected by H.M. Wilson, the British civil attaché in Iraq. On 2 June, the citizens of Baghdad held a large demonstration. On the 21st, the people of Karbala, under the leadership of Rida and other radical Shiite leaders, held a mass meeting to denounce the British. The next day, the British arrested 12 nationalists, including Rida. This action became the trigger for an uprising in the Shiite holy cities of Karbala, Najaing, and the middle reaches of the Euphrates.

On the 30th, the Dowling tribe of Rumaisa revolted, attacked the government building, destroyed the railroad, and inflicted heavy losses on the British army. In July, the British withdrew from Karbala and Najaf, and at the end of August, the area north of the Diyala River in Diyala District was occupied by the rebel tribes, and in September, except for the large cities of Baghdad and Basra, and parts of Kurdistan, the lower Tigris and the lower Euphrates, the flames of the anti-British struggle were ignited.

But riots of this magnitude are often staged in India, and the British have long been familiar with handling them. The British army adopted methods such as suppression, co-optation, and bribery to divide the insurrectionary forces and try to recover the declining situation. At the same time, two divisions were transferred from India to intensify the crusade against the rebel tribes. Under the suppression of the British army, some of the leaders of the uprising fled, and some were arrested, exiled, or executed. Since the uprising did not have a unified leadership center, it was very spontaneous, scattered and blind; Covenant Party leader Nuri?? Said and others opposed the uprising from the beginning; Coupled with the defection of the Sheikh of the Horde, the tribes fought against each other, which hastened the defeat of the uprising. At the end of October, the British army basically put down the uprisings everywhere. However, the British, after weighing their interests, still agreed to Iraq's independence in terms of situation, but indirectly obtained colonial benefits through the pro-British Iraqi upper echelons.

Generally speaking, Iraq can be regarded as one of the most important British strongholds in the Middle East, but after the national riots in Iran were extinguished in an instant, Qiu Fatzi has realized that the fate of Iraq will also change, India has actually broken away from British colonial rule, although there are still some British and Indian troops stationed in several coastal cities such as Mumbai, but in the face of the Indian princely states that have become a mess, these seemingly suspicious British and Indian troops can not reassure the British. Having lost the replenishment of the Anglo-Indian army, at the request of the United States and the request of Australia and New Zealand, the expeditionary forces of Australia and New Zealand also had to return to their respective countries to prepare to defend against the invasion from China or the Japanese Empire, Britain has become isolated, only the Canadian army is still fighting side by side with the British army in the British and North African theaters, but the good times are short-lived, because Japan is becoming more and more obvious to covet Alaska, as Canadians are not welcome a bunch of hoop-legged little devils to be their neighbors, And they may not be good neighbors.

"Mr. President, welcome to your visit. I am very happy to receive you in Jinan and I am sure you will have a pleasant trip. Wu Chenxuan, Zhou Zhongfu, Li Weichang and others greeted the visiting Iraqi National Assembly Party Chairman Mohammed at the airport in the western suburbs. Abu. Yusuf. Gayer. This Mr. Abu is the former leader of the Association for the Defense of Independence, Jafar?? Abu?? Timan's nephew, and the Iraqi National Congress Party, is the current chairman of the Alliance for the Defense of Independence.

"Your Majesty, thank you and the Imperial Government for your warm welcome and for making me feel the friendship of another ancient civilization in Asia. The people of our country and I are willing to live in friendship with the Chinese democratic empire, help each other, and strive for national independence and prosperity. ”

"Mr. President. I fully agree with your view that as the two great ancient civilizations in Asia, there is no reason why we should not work together to make our due contribution to the peace and development of the people of the region. Although Wu Chenxuan is also 67 years old, he is still full of energy, he and Ghayer shook hands for a long time, and they looked so solemn under the spotlight, this scene was quickly spread by the newspapers at home and abroad, and almost all politicians understood that China had chosen the object of support, and the ripe fruit of Iraq was about to be taken into China's pocket.

Sure enough, a month later, armed conflicts against the * government broke out in many parts of Iraq, from Mosul to Basra, and Iraq also fell into a political crisis. Almost at the same time, the Chinese Eighteenth Army quickly crossed the Iranian border, divided into three lines, and staged a thousand-mile* leap forward on the plains of Mesopotamia, and in just three days, all the important cities of Iraq were occupied by the Chinese Defense Forces, as swift and ferocious as the Black Sandstorms, and the National Congress Party quickly took over the local power, and the pro-British elements were eliminated, and they were waiting for exile.

At the same time, the garrison strength of the Kuwait District has also undergone tremendous changes, and part of the main forces of the Ninth Army, to be precise, three infantry divisions and an army aviation group, have landed from Kuwait.

Britain's North African forces were oppressed in Libya by the German-Italian coalition, while the advance of the Chinese army had reached the Persian Gulf, and there was Turkey, a German ally in the north, and if you added the Arabs who were eyeing Ilek and Iran, Britain's colonial rule in the Middle East did not look like it would be able to survive this year.

China has been smooth sailing on three fronts and has achieved good results, while Germany has fought on two fronts, although it has also fought well, but after all, its strength has been damaged, and it cannot be said to be profitable. After all, no matter how friendly the relations between Germany and China are, they are also two big countries, and Germany must not be allowed to lose its troops and take advantage of China's fire. In order to reduce their losses, the Germans also turned their attention from conventional weapons to the mysterious realm of physics. Germany has always been at the forefront of nuclear energy research in Europe. In December of the 19th year of the first century, at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Chemistry in Berlin, German scientists demonstrated the fission of uranium-235 for the first time in Europe. Paul?? Hartke, a professor of chemistry at the University of Hamburg, realized the enormous military potential of atomic energy and wrote a letter to the German War Office in which he said that mastery of nuclear physics would make powerful bombs that could easily defeat the enemy. That's exactly what Sitara wanted to hear, and Nazi Germany began to research into the use of nuclear energy in the military.

Sitara's persecution of the Jews led to the arrival of many outstanding Jewish scientists in Germany, including Albert Einstein. Albert Einstein himself was not interested in using nuclear energy for military purposes, but he believed that the German Workers' Party was actively developing the atomic bomb. One month after the outbreak of war in Europe, Albert Einstein sent a letter to President Roosevelt, asking him to pay attention to Germany's progress in nuclear physics. This letter eventually led to the implementation of the Manhattan Project, America's own nuclear weapons program. Of course, all this did not escape the eyes of the Chinese agents who had been ambushed in the local area in advance, after all, it was impossible for federal agents to think that any country could know in advance where their testing sites were. As a result, surveillance equipment and moles were planted in advance.

There are two important steps in the development of a nuclear bomb: first, it is necessary to ensure that there are enough raw materials for the manufacture of nuclear bombs; Second, they had to design an effective delivery system. Germany's blitzkrieg in Western Europe led to a major breakthrough in the acquisition of atomic materials. The Germans confiscated 1,000 tons of uranium material from a warehouse in northern Belgium and began to produce deuterium oxide, an important substance for the manufacture of nuclear bombs, at the Norsk hydroelectric power station. However, just as everything was going well, the British learned of the information (Yu Jian said that the matter had nothing to do with the Chinese Social Investigation Department) and, after a number of painful failures, finally destroyed the heavy water resources, causing a major setback to the German nuclear weapons program.

In Pinamoud, rocket research in Walter ?? Dornberger and von?? Under the leadership of General Braun, their cooperation opened up the landscape of rocket research, far ahead of other countries. In October of the twenty-second year of the Taichu year, Germany successfully launched the first A4 rocket, which flew farther and higher than any previous tested rocket.

In the face of Germany's rapid development in delivery technology, China is already planning how to give this current ally, the future adversary, a hammer blow, and finally achieve the goal of nuclear hegemony. Poor Hess Boss is still hoping to have a super bomb that will dump all living beings, Hallelujah!
