No matter what the reaction of the great powers is, and how much filth there is behind it; No matter what people from all walks of life in China think, whether it is said that the southwest is a grasshopper shaking a tree, or a mantis arm is a car, anyway, this time the Southwest Autonomous Government headed by the Communist Party and the British Empire really collided.

The southwest's move has caused repercussions in China and even in the world. There are those who applaud, those who scoff, and those who scold.

No matter what the outside world thinks, the southwest still goes its own way. It was also at this time that Xiao Mubai, chairman of the Southwest Autonomous Government, officially signed an order to recruit more than 60,000 soldiers in the area under his jurisdiction and reorganize them into four infantry divisions. At the same time, it also demanded that the military must be able to completely end the war in Tibet within two months, and be able to devote all its energy to dealing with the upcoming military conflict with the British army. Although a protracted war with the British in Tibet is unlikely, the necessary preparations still need to be made. After all, as the old saying goes, it's always better to be prepared!

At the same time, Xiao Mubai made a speech to cadres of all strata of the party, including the following paragraph: "The British note to China completely ignores the norms of international law and is a blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state. Tibet is originally China's territory, and how the Chinese government acts is entirely its own business, and Britain has no right to interfere at all, not to mention that Britain also admitted in the 1906 Sino-British Treaty of Renewal of Tibet and India that it would not interfere in all politics in Tibet. What makes Britain so arrogant? Quite simply, the aim is to control Tibet in its own hands and add a heavy touch to the colonial interests of the British Empire... Although our country is still weak, we are not the Manchu government of 70 years ago, so let us tell the British imperialists with practical actions that their wishful thinking has been wrong..."

The entire Communist Party, whose internal voices were united, began to work together to devote all their energies to preparing for the impending conflict with Britain. In this way, the various units that received the order entered the combat preparations one after another and began to mobilize, and a large amount of combat readiness materials also set off to transport and hoard materials to Kunming and Qamdo by rail and road. The troops in Tibet to quell the rebellion were even more morale-like, offensive, and under successive victories along the way, they had already captured Jiangdazong, Nangzong and other important places guarded by the Tibetan army, and took these gateways to Lhasa in the west, and it was only a few days away from Lhasa.

The British Empire was furious at the provocation of such a small warlord, although the Balkan war that began in March attracted too much energy from the Empire, although the Empire was still engaged in a naval arms race with the Germans to build dreadnoughts, and although for various reasons the Empire could never start a major war in the Far East, but no one could brush the Empire's beard. The British Empire began to make up its mind to clean up these yellow-skinned monkeys, and they had the impression that those inferior people with big pigtails, ugly, yellow and thin, believed that the British and Indian troops of the empire alone would be enough to deal with.

The British Empire, which had made up its mind, was naturally inefficient, and the British troops stationed in the colonies of India and Burma and the locally recruited Turkish troops began to move in large numbers to the southwestern border areas of China. In a-for-tat confrontation, the southwestern army also went to the border one after another. For a time, the two armies were moving frequently, and the entire southwestern border region was gathered, and the smell of gunpowder between the two armies facing each other was getting stronger and stronger, and war was about to break out.

After entering July, the long-standing civil turmoil has not improved much, and its political arena is as difficult and turbulent as before. In addition to the war in Tibet and the war clouds that have gradually gathered in the southwest, the resignation of Tang Shaoyi, the first premier of the Republic of China, and the subsequent reorganization of the League by Song Jiaoren, have also attracted the attention of many newspapers and forces.

In fact, in the face of the chaotic international and domestic situation during this period, President Yuan Shikai, who was far away in Beijing, was very uncomfortable. Don't mention it far away, let's talk about the resignation of Tang Shaoyi, the first premier of the Republic of China. As an old friend of his Yuan, he and Tang Shaoyi have been friends for decades, and Lao Yuan thinks that he is not thin on Tang Shaoyi. Not only did he negotiate with the South on his own behalf during the North-South peace talks, but after the founding of the Republic of China, he even proposed to appoint him as the premier. But that's it, after becoming prime minister, Tang Shaoyi didn't go with him, and it was just a matter of selecting Cai Yuanpei, Song Jiaoren, Chen Qimei and other key members of the alliance to join the cabinet, after all, the alliance still needs to be wooed, not to mention that it is not some important positions. However, what made Lao Yuan unbearable the most was that Tang Shaoyi, who was very inclined to the alliance after the formation of the cabinet, repeatedly refuted his employment and financial problems, and even swore to join the alliance later. This made Lao Yuan feel that this old friend, whom he had known for decades, was becoming more and more strange, and he felt that Tang Shaoyi really didn't recognize the situation.

Lao Yuan was dissatisfied, and the officials of the Beiyang system in the cabinet began to squeeze out him, and Premier Tang Shaoyi, who did not recognize the situation, began to have difficulty in doing his job. His various proposals at the State Council began to be resisted, and the daily work of the government could not be carried out normally. Despite this, Tang Shaoyi has been reluctantly persevering. However, on the issue of the appointment of the "Governor of Zhili", the contradiction between the two finally broke out in an all-round way.

How could Lao Yuan accept a person who had joined the Alliance as the governor of Zhili? You must know that the governor of Zhili was placed in the former Qing Dynasty, which was the role of the minister of Beiyang. In such a high-powered, important place, how can the people of the League be arranged? The side of the couch does not allow others to snore! Lao Yuan did not consult with him, nor did he go through the cabinet's signature, and directly changed Wang Zhixiang, the governor of Zhili appointed by Tang Shaoyi, to "the southern army's consolation envoy", and immediately issued an order.

But Lao Yuan didn't want to think about it, Tang Shaoyi had seen the world in the foreign world, and he was also a person with political ambitions, how could he be willing to be a puppet? As a result, Premier Tang Shaoyi, who was greatly stimulated by the borrowing incident and became more and more intolerable to Lao Yuan's "overstepping his authority", began to resign.

Tang Shaoyi's resignation did not matter, but the joint resignation of Cai Yuanpei, Song Jiaoren, Wang Zhengting and other important members of the League cabinet triggered a great turmoil in the political arena of the Republic of China government. Even if Lao Yuan issued a sincere "plea" of "I comfort you on behalf of 40,000,000 people", it did not stop them from brushing their sleeves away. Seeing that the matter was irreparable, Lao Yuan did not care, and appointed Lu Zhengxiang as the new premier in the afternoon of the same day.

Lao Yuan didn't care, but it was obviously impossible for the Alliance to just forget it. Soon, the follow-up reaction after the resignation of the League members came. Song Jiaoren, who rushed to Nanjing, immediately began to rectify and reorganize the League, giving speeches everywhere to win over the gentry, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the League was creating momentum for the next year's general election.

In the face of the fanfare and comeback of the alliance, Lao Yuan felt a big headache. But he can't interfere with the activities of others and make speeches. You must know that after the founding of the Republic of China, hundreds of large and small political parties were established in China in just a few months, and now it is the Republic of China.

Putting aside these troubles, what happened in the southwest also gave President Yuan a headache. As the saying goes, if you don't have hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, young people are unreliable, are the British so easy to offend? The lesson of Gengzi is right in front of you! Besides, the British note did not say anything about separating Tibet and supporting independence! In my own opinion, the British also gave in, isn't this very good, and it is not easy to maintain the situation in Tibet of the former Qing Dynasty.

But this young man is just restless, and he is starting to recruit and expand the army again, saying that in order to deal with the armed provocation of the British Empire. Well, now the British are completely on fire and are going to use force against the Southwest.

Speaking of which, sometimes Lao Yuan also feels that he is a big president, and the domestic forces are like a forest, and he does not obey the orders of the central government, so forget about these, I believe that as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to solve it. But now, the British are gathering troops in the southwestern border, and the Communist Party is not to be outdone, and sends troops to confront them. The two sides intentionally or unintentionally threw themselves aside, and they could only watch the play on the side at this time.

Fortunately, the British did not involve themselves this time, and now they can only wait for the two sides to decide the winner, no matter who wins or loses, they will not suffer anyway.
