After a pause, Gu Yu said: "The American Revolutionary War was later greatly aided by France, Spain and other countries, and the participation of the French regular army in the war still played a decisive role in the final victory of the war. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info That's right? Mr. Lieutenant Colonel. ”

George nodded.

Gu Yu continued: "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, I want to ask a question, if the French regular army does not participate in the war, what will be the outcome of the American Revolutionary War? ”

George shook his head, "I haven't studied this issue, has General Gu studied it?" ”

Gu Yu smiled, "According to my analysis, if France does not enter the war, the American Revolutionary War will have two endings, the first is that you lose, and Britain regains control of the United States." The leaders and key members of the independence movement will probably be punished or even hanged by the British authorities as rebels who endanger Britain. ”

George and his colleagues looked at each other, and then at Gu Yu together, "So what is the other ending that General Gu said?" ”

Gu Yu blinked, "The United States has won, and Britain has recognized the United States." However, the British recognition is conditional. This condition was that the thirteen states that first formed the United States of America had to have a portion of the land in British possession. This part of the land may be one state, or even several states, or thirteen states may each set aside some land for the United Kingdom. In short, the thirteen states could never secede from Britain intact. Of course, judging by the military posture after the Battle of Saratoga, the second outcome is highly likely. As for the fact that after the war, the United States also acquired a large area of land west of the Appalachian Mountains and east of the Mississippi River, which the French helped the Americans take from the British. ”

George looked at Gu Yu suspiciously, "How did the general come to such a conclusion?" That is, without the French in the war, some of the thirteen states would have been occupied by the British after the war. ”

Gu Yu smiled, "Ireland, according to the example of Ireland. Ireland was also a British colony in the past, and the Irish fought for their independence in 1919. Of course, no foreign troops entered the war of independence. In 1922, the British government negotiated with the Irish independence movement to allow twenty-six counties in the south of Ireland to secede from the British, but the six northern counties remained in British possession. I have heard that many of the Irish were strongly opposed to allowing the British to keep possession of the six northern counties, but the leaders of the independence movement accepted the British proposal for a variety of reasons. From this, I conclude that the American Revolutionary War, like the Irish Revolutionary War, would have had to give the British some possession of your land in order to obtain British recognition of American independence without the participation of foreign troops. ”

George nodded, and then squeezed his eyes slyly, "General Gu, if it weren't for the participation of our American troops in the war, may I ask, what would be the outcome of your war between China and the Japanese?" ”

George's words made the Chinese present widen their eyes in surprise and opened their mouths wide, but they were speechless for a while. Whether it was the Communists, the Kuomintang, or other Chinese, they were immersed in this joy at that time and for a long time afterward: the Chinese finally defeated the Japanese devils after eight years of arduous all-out war of resistance. As for what the outcome of the Chinese people's war of resistance will be without foreign troops participating in the war, few people have seriously reflected on it.

At this moment, the house is unusually quiet, and the continuous sound of wind and rain outside can be heard clearly, "woo" and "whoosh". The raindrops hit the windows and corrugated roofs, making a crisp and continuous sound, "Click, click".

Gu Yu frowned, his expression became solemn, "I have studied this issue, if there is no participation of the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, frankly speaking, our China's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression will have such an ending, first, China is defeated, most of the Han areas are occupied by Japan, and some ethnic minority areas take the opportunity to declare independence under the instigation of foreign countries." The second outcome is that, due to the stubborn resistance of the Chinese people, the Japanese devils are forced to sign a treaty or agreement with China to withdraw from all occupied Chinese territories with weapons within a specified period of time. However, if the Japanese devils surrendered unconditionally in 1945 and laid down their arms en masse, it can be said that they should not even think about it. ”

George and his colleagues looked at each other triumphantly, and nodded to Gu Yu together.

At this moment, Gu Yu sighed again, "The Kuomintang always boasts that they won the victory of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression now, and slanders that the Communist Party will only swim but not attack, hiding behind enemy lines to become bigger and stronger." And the ironclad historical fact is that if it were not for our Communist Party, the Kuomintang would have signed a treaty agreement with the Japanese devils before 1941 that would have humiliated the country, and in that case, the war would have ended with the complete victory of the Japanese devils. In that way, the relationship between the United States and Japan would not have deteriorated after July 1941, which would have led to the Pacific War. But for the Chinese, such a war outcome will lead to the inability of the northeast to recover, and Inner Mongolia will also be lost. Although the Japanese devils will symbolically withdraw some of the occupied land, some strategic places will still be occupied by the devils. Such a war outcome will also lead to the declaration of independence by some ethnic minority areas in China's border areas at the instigation of foreign countries, which will inevitably trigger another series of losses of China's land. ”

The Americans in the room nodded again.

After a pause, Gu Yu smiled proudly again, "You also noticed, right?" After losing the capital Nanjing, Wuhan, Guangzhou, and almost half of the country's territory, the Kuomintang still did not dare to sign a humiliating armistice treaty with the Japanese devils to meet the demands of the Japanese devils like the Qing Dynasty. It is the fear that the Chinese Communist Party will not accept such armistice conditions, and that we will continue to independently persist in the War of Resistance after the signing of the traitorous treaty. Even if there are no foreign troops participating in the war, the Chinese Communist Party will still lead the Chinese people to independently persist in the War of Resistance, and will finally achieve the second war outcome I just mentioned. Of course, this ending will not come in 1945, and will undoubtedly continue for some time. However, the Kuomintang will not be able to achieve this second ending in any case. ”

At this moment, George looked at Gu Yu with a smile, "I appreciate General Gu's frankness and honesty. General Gu has a point. At the beginning of World War II, German troops invaded France and Yugoslavia, and the previous governments of both countries surrendered to Germany. However, the Communist Party of France and the Communist Party of Yugoslavia both led their own people to independently persist in the War of Resistance against Japan, and both persisted until the victory of the war. Therefore, it is conceivable that even if the Kuomintang government surrendered to the Japanese, you, the Chinese Communist Party, would still independently persist in the War of Resistance until the war was won. ”

His remarks caused the Chinese Communists present to nod their heads with satisfaction. (To be continued.) )
