For the course of world history, the period from the end of 1938 to the beginning of 1939 was a key turning point, and its landmark event was the "Asian Liberation War" that was enough to change the world pattern.

The main reason why it was an "indirect fuse" rather than a direct one was that one of the parties to the war was never officially part of the Axis bloc, so that even if Germany, Italy, and Japan provoked a further war of a global nature, it would not have anything to do with that country.

This country is China, China's basic diplomatic principle is "neutrality", even if it is a war with the entire British Commonwealth, China does not need any military alliance, China has the confidence and strength to single out this "empire on which the sun never sets", and will also divide the greatest interests from the Asian legacy left by this "empire on which the sun never sets", this interest is enough to make people blush, but due to the further tension in Europe, the European powers have no time to take any substantive action, The United States, meanwhile, is under military pressure from both the Pacific and Atlantic directions, and can only take a wait-and-see stance, unable to take any effective military action to stop this war in Asia.

It is precisely because of the hesitation and hesitation of the European and American powers that drastic changes have taken place at the strategic level in this "battle for the liberation of Asia" in a very short period of time.

On November 29, 1938, Mandalay, an important city in northern Burma, was occupied by the Chinese National Defense Army Army, and on December 2 of the same year, the Chinese side launched the "Typhoon" campaign, and launched the first land, sea and air joint landing operation in the narrowest Kra Isthmus area of the Malay Peninsula. More than 60,000 British troops were trapped in the south of the Malay Peninsula, running out of ammunition and food, demoralized, desperate, the British commander finally chose to surrender, on December 21, the largest British naval base in the Far East Singapore, surrendered without a fight, Zhangyi Naval Base raised the battle flag of the squadron, so far, the Malayan campaign is over, from the start of the campaign, the entire campaign took 19 days, during this period, the squadron swept through the entire Malaya region, invincible, At a small cost of thousands of casualties on his own side, he won a brilliant victory of 90,000 enemies, and such a record made the great powers dumbfounded.

The British government was embarrassed and angry, and under the "insistence" of the uncompromising Prime Minister Mr. Churchill, it decided to increase its military attention to the Far East, and transferred a large number of troops in India to the Ganges Delta, preparing to meet the attack of the squadron, and at the same time trying to win over France to join the war against China, but in the face of the "provocative action" of the German ** team to invade Czechoslovakia and the ongoing Spanish Civil War, the French government did not dare to transfer its troops and fleet to Asia at this time. The French government strongly advocated peace talks, and this proposal received a positive response from the US and Soviet governments.

However, the British government was unmoved, and the British government insisted that the "temporary advantage" achieved by the squadron was based on the premise of launching a surprise attack, and the reason why the British team suffered successive defeats was not because the British were not brave, nor because the British weapons and equipment were backward, but because the British were "too gentlemen", so the British government decided to launch a strategic counteroffensive in southern Burma to restore the "Burma-India defensive line".

Journalists from all over the world saw it clearer than the British government, and they unanimously believed that the withdrawal of British forces from the Far East and even the entire Asian region was a sure fact, and the British government did not allow for quibbles; in fact, with the strength of the British army in the Far East after the end of the Malayan Campaign, it was still incompetent to protect itself, and as for the offensive, it was simply a fantasy, and the reporters also agreed that the main purpose of the British government's insistence on launching an offensive in the southern Burma battlefield despite the facts was not so much to rebuild "Burma." The "Indian Defense Line" is not so much to boost the morale of the people and to curb the defeatist sentiment that is rapidly spreading in the army.

Wrong judgment will inevitably lead to wrong decision-making, wrong decision will inevitably lead to catastrophic failure, the facts have proved that the reporter's opinion is completely correct, the British government urged the British army in the Far East to hastily launch the southern Burma campaign ended in a fiasco, from the British army launched an attack to the Burmese capital Rangoon lost, before and after only six days, and on the ninth day after the campaign was launched, another 90,000 British troops laid down their arms and walked into the prisoner of war camps set up by the Chinese side in southern Burma, this fact, It took two days for the British Government to have the Prime Minister personally explain to the MPs.

More than 100,000 troops were lost before and after, Britain's military strength in the Far East shrank sharply, and with the "liberation" of the entire territory of Burma, India's door has been completely opened to the Chinese Defense Forces, and all that remains is to wait for the thunderous blow of the squadron.

The Chinese National Defense Forces did not let the British government wait for a long time, on January 1, 1939, on the day of the Western New Year, the Chinese National Defense Forces launched a land campaign codenamed "Iron Fist", more than 100,000 Chinese infantry and mountain infantry crossed the reckless mountains of northern Burma, and launched a rapid assault on the British ** team holding on to the Bengal area, and the Chinese task force cruising in the Bay of Bengal also participated in the attack, including four large aircraft carriers equipped by the Chinese Navy, The Chinese Air Force's long-range bomber group in Yunnan also participated in the battle, and the attacker's combat sequence also included special forces and marines.

In this case, it is not surprising that the British army was quickly defeated and the retreat turned into a rout, in fact, the entire Bengal campaign lasted only nine days, and the city of Dhaka fell into the hands of the squadron, and then, an amphibious landing operation was launched on the eastern coast of the Indian subcontinent, and it is not surprising that Calcutta quickly fell, followed by Ktak, Bhubaneswar, Berhampur, Srikakulam, Even Varanasi in the middle reaches of the Ganges River saw the presence of armed assault boats of the Chinese Marine Corps.

In the face of the advancing squadron, the British Commonwealth army was invincible, with the Deccan Plateau as the dividing line, one British army broke up to the west, and the other British army rushed to the south, in the words of the chief of staff of the three services of the Chinese National Defense Forces, "the British defense line no longer exists".

There is no doubt that the British rule in India is about to collapse completely, which not only journalists and politicians from various countries have seen, but also local Indian nationalists, so they quickly took up arms and joined this "war for the liberation of India" aimed at winning India's complete **, in this situation, a large number of Indian troops broke away from the British command system and joined the side of the insurgents, and, under the appeal of the leaders of India, more and more people gathered around the leader, Actively preparing for the first fully autonomous Hindu nationalist Congress.

It was a "united conference" aimed at building a "united, strong, self-reliant India", which was attended not only by fanatics but also by calmers, and if the conference reached an agreement, perhaps in the near future, a new India would rise in the subcontinent.

However, while the meeting was in progress, two British Air Force "Mosquito" fighter-bombers painted with the Royal Air Force logo flew over the venue of the "Congress of Parliament" in Varanasi and dropped dozens of light aerial bombs aimed at the crowd at the meeting, causing more than 2,000 casualties and stampedes, including many well-known Indian national leaders, and these people, who had been preaching "non-violent non-cooperation" in the past, were representatives of pacifists, but after the war took a sharp turn, They were only beginning to change their stance, but before they could unite the resistance groups across India, they were killed in the bombing, and those who had managed to escape the aerial bombs were also killed in the subsequent shooting assassinations, and for a moment the Indian resistance was in danger of being left leaderless.

The shameless behavior of the "British Air Force" has aroused the disgust of world public opinion, and in the face of the accusations of world public opinion and the questioning of the Indian people, the British Government is at a loss for words, although the British Prime Minister insists that the two "Mosquito" fighter-bombers that bombed the venue are not combat planes of the British Air Force, they are actually piloted by pilots of the Chinese Air Force, and the reason why they are painted with the Royal Air Force mark is to blame the British Air Force and the British Government. It must have been captured by the Chinese Army during the campaign in southern Burma.

But at this time, how could the Chinese government send its air force to bomb its allies? This is obviously illogical, therefore, the mainstream of world public opinion still believes in the accusations of the Indian people, and it was the British Government that planned this "international assassination" operation, and the photos taken by the Chinese reporters present further confirmed the responsibility of the British Government; in the photos, the two "Mosquito" fighter-bombers are clearly visible, and the Royal Air Force logo on the wings and the paint on the fuselage all indicate that these two planes are the combat planes of the British Air Force.

Of course, the Chinese side obviously also has some responsibility, those Chinese Air Force fighters that usually run rampant in the skies over India failed to intercept the two "mosquito" type that sneaked into the sky over the venue from somewhere, which is obviously irresponsible, therefore, in order to calm the anger of the Indian people, the air force commander stationed there was dismissed on the spot and will be investigated by a military court, in order to express sympathy for the Indian people, the Chinese government said that it is willing to train a group of qualified fighter pilots for the Indian people, And give the resistance some Super Hornet fighters.

There is no doubt that the president of China was a very wise statesman, who not only led a war to liberate Asia, but also treated the Indian people as equals. So, when Mr. President proposed the establishment of an "Indian Confederacy" based on the principle of "national self-determination", the new leader of the Indian people immediately accepted it, and it is worth mentioning that this plan for a loose confederation was the same as the plan for the establishment of a Burmese Confederation, which consisted of a federation of free states with a great deal of autonomy, and which, in addition to having a symbolic central government, could determine their own path of development and even issue their own currency, of course, in order to prevent monetary confusionAt the moment, it seems like a good choice to use China's fiat currency, which is now also the hard currency of the Asian region, almost equal in credibility to US banknotes.

Of course, economic issues are long-term planning, and the most important thing at present is how to liberate India from the clutches of "British imperialism and colonialists", which requires the assistance of the squadron, and even more so, the free states of India need to immediately form their own nationalist troops, so when the parliamentary assembly in Varanasi formally elected the head of state of India, the armies of the states were quickly formed, they were armed with old weapons from China, and quickly threw themselves into the cause of liberation of the motherland. Although, in a sense, they were more just liberating their homeland, but in any case, the Indian subcontinent is now full of flames, just like the indigenous uprising that broke out in this ancient land a hundred years ago, and the last vestiges of prestige of the British royal family and government in India immediately disappeared.

In this situation, the Confederation of Burma, which had just obtained the first country, formally declared war on Britain and the British Commonwealth participating countries, and later, the Indian Confederation, the Malayan Confederation, the West Borneo Confederation, and the Bengal Confederation also successively obtained **, and immediately declared war on Britain and its lackey states, and the Chinese president also served as the commander-in-chief of this international coalition army.

Asia has finally "woken up," and the victory was so brilliant that Chinese aircraft designers triumphantly named a newly developed water patrol plane "Asian Liberator."

This was the situation in Asia in mid-February 1939, during which the French government and the Soviet government again submitted a motion to the League of Nations to mediate the Sino-British war, which was approved by most of the League of Nations members and the United States government. (！ )
