After a night of fierce fighting, both the British and Soviet sides fought with fire and blood, and each other's casualties had reached a situation that made people stunned. More than 40,000 men of two divisions of the British army have been put into battle, and two Indian divisions and one reinforced regiment have gradually been put into the battlefield. A border guard of the Soviet army was also involved in the battlefield, and a reserve regiment in the rear was also preparing to participate in the battle after receiving a telegram asking for help. However, neither side of the fierce battle noticed a subtle change in the battlefield, that is, the battlefield has gradually moved away from the border line of country Z.
As a matter of fact, when the battle was raging last night, the top military commanders of Britain and the Soviet Union had already received war reports from their respective participating units. The leader of Soviet Russia, Bearded Stamus, and the British cabinet Mack. Donner immediately felt that something was wrong, there seemed to be a hint of conspiracy in it, as if there was a pair of black hands pressing the British and Soviet sides together.
However, Britain and the Soviet Union were already hostile to each other, especially after the establishment of the Red Regime in Soviet Russia, the contradiction between the political stance and the composition of the state system was immediately revealed, and as the actual controller of the League of Nations, an old capitalist power, the British side naturally did not allow the spread and development of the Red Regime, especially in its own colonies. In order to break through the capitalist international blockade and strive for greater and more international discourse, Soviet Russia, which gradually became dominant in its economy and military strength, did everything possible to encourage the backward regions of Asia and Africa to carry out so-called national liberation movements, which undoubtedly moved Britain's cheese.
Against this backdrop of political history, it is not surprising that this large-scale armed conflict took place. Therefore, after receiving the initial battle situation report sent back by their respective battle fronts, the leaders of the two sides had no choice but to continue to increase their troops in order to maintain their own strategic initiative in the face of a battle situation that had already been fought together and red eyes.
The next morning, both the British and the Soviet Union increased their forces almost simultaneously, and both sent their air forces into the battle. For a time, the fighting escalated, and what was originally a military conflict has evolved into a local war. And the reasons for the outbreak of war seem to be being forgotten.
At this time, Soviet Russia had already completed its first five-year plan, which had begun to transform itself from an agricultural country into an industrial country, and had initially established an independent and relatively complete national economic system, and its military strength had also developed relatively rapidly. Therefore, after the local war gradually reached the first level, the inferiority of the British army in terms of strength and equipment gradually became prominent, and Soviet Russia gradually grasped the initiative in the war.
Urumqi, Xinjiang, the headquarters of the Western Corps of the Longwei Army.
"Commander-in-chief, now we don't have to worry about the British, they have been choked by the old man! I really didn't expect the army combat effectiveness of the empire on which the sun never sets, and it's nothing more than that! Even our Western Corps can defeat them! Li Yuri said with some emotion.
"Hehe, the British are paper tigers, it's okay to scare and scare some small and backward countries, and in a land war with a superpower like Soviet Russia, they can only be abused! Brother Li, I think we have to help the field and add fire! Mu Han said meaningfully.
"What does the commander-in-chief mean?" Li Yuri asked puzzled.
"What do you think we should do if we send the White Russian revenge ** and special forces to go around the rear line of the Soviet Russian army? Then, we're taking the opportunity to take it here! Mu Han pointed to the Tibetan region on the map and said, "This is for us to master here, and on land, the British should not be afraid!" The southwest region of our country will also be under the radiation of our Dragon Guard. ”
"I think it works!" Li Yuri carefully looked at the map of country Z and nodded, "Occupying the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which has the highest altitude, the countries in the southwest of our country are within the strike range of our air force at any time, and if there is any trouble, we can respond in time!" ”
"Okay, I'll call President Jiang in person!" Mu Han directly picked up the phone and dialed the guard office of the Nanjing Presidential Palace.
"I'm Mu Han, please answer the phone!"
"You hairy boy, you can catch your breath now! What's the matter this time! Soon a thick Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent came from the microphone.
"O Chairman! In the past two days, the new 9th Panchen Lama in Qinghai conveyed to me the idea of entering Tibet to worship the Buddha! I support this, and the Tibetan region cannot be dominated by one group. This is not conducive to the inheritance and development of Buddhism! Mu Han said in a roundabout way.
"What? Your kid just won Qinghai and Xinjiang, and are you ready to reach out to Tibet? It's the British's sphere of influence! "President Jiang Da now feels that Mu Han's appetite is really a little big!
"Chairman of the Committee, since ancient times, Tibet has been an inalienable territory of our country, what is the matter with the British? Besides, under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. For a long time, some people in Tibet with ulterior motives, with the support of foreign forces, have not paid attention to the central authorities at all, and now you are busy suppressing bandits, and as the vice president of the party-state, vice chairman of the National Revolutionary Army, deputy marshal of the Army, Navy and Air Force, and chairman of the Northwest Defense Committee, I have the obligation to help you clean up those things that are not eye-opening! Mu Han said with a smile.
President Jiang couldn't help but be angry when he heard this, and said in his heart: If you are really so loyal, why don't you send troops to help me encircle and suppress the red bandits! Even if you support me with some heavy weapons, planes and tanks, it would be fine! But these words cannot be said explicitly. "Mu Han! Don't look at the war between the British and the Russians, but everyone knows that this war will not last long. When the British come to their senses, they may not know how they will react! You'd better be cautious! ”
"It's okay! Chairman, I'll take the British! What's the matter, let them come to me! Mu Han said disapprerovingly.
"Alright! You can do it! But don't make any moths! The party-state is now an eventful time! President Jiang Da finished lukewarmly and hung up the phone!
Mu Han also put down the phone and laughed, "Chairman Jiang agreed!" ”
"Commander-in-chief! You don't use this trick very well! Under what kind of guise is the Panchen Lama! Li Yuri quipped.
"Brother Li! Unlike the rest of the country, the situation in Tibet is complicated! In the 14th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1888 AD), the British occupied all of them in Tsemengxiong (Sikkim), which already bordered Tibet. In order to prevent the British from invading, the Tibetan side built a defensive line in the Longtu area bordering Zhemengxiong and did not allow the British to cross it. In order to express the determination of the Tibetan monks and lay people to resist the British, in the thirteenth year of Guangxu (1887), all the officials of the Tibetan local government of Tashilhunpo Monastery, the three major monasteries in Tibet, issued a public gift to Wen Shuo, the minister stationed in Tibet, declaring that "even if there are men and women who are worried, they should resist with revenge and resist forever, and have nothing else to think about." "Wen Shuo, the minister in Tibet at that time, was loyal to his duties, stood on the side of the Tibetan people, and fully supported their just struggle against the British. However, due to the Qing government's policy of submission to the outside world at that time, and the huge disparity between the new British weapons and the Tibetan army's bows, arrows, swords, spears and muskets, the Longtu defense line was captured by the British army. On the 4th day of the first month of the 30th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty, the British army captured Chunpi and on the 6th, they captured Pari. On April 11, the British army entered Gyantse, and in early August, the British army captured Lhasa. Since then, Tibet has been included in the British sphere of influence! In the past, we couldn't control it, but now that we have taken Qinghai and Xinjiang, Britain has begun to jump up and down. They make a move, and we can't help but follow! As I said, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, known as the roof of the world, is of great military significance to our army. Standing on this high ground is equivalent to standing on the commanding heights of the world. The deployment of the Air Force here can radiate the entire region of South Asia and West Asia. Once the West is established and has no choice but to form an alliance with Britain and other Western countries, they will be able to drive thousands of kilometers without firing a single shot or bullet and deploy their military forces directly to the hinterland of our country. Therefore, in every way, Tibet must be in our hands! Mu Han Zhengse said.
"In that case, let's send two divisions of the army and one air combat division to Tibet! In this way, we can rely on the powerful topography of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to radiate South Asia and West Asia, and internally affect the vast areas of southwest China. Li Yuri suggested.
"Okay, Brother Li, you go and deploy this matter personally!"
After Li Yuri left, Mu Han pondered for a while, "Han Yi! Immediately sent an order to Rosimov to send several polar bear special operations teams to important military ports such as Kolkata, Bangalore, New Delhi, India, to give the British a fire and blow it up to search for aircraft carriers! At the same time, they are sending several polar bear special operations teams to the rear defense of the Soviet Russian army to make a fuss, and they can't let them fight too smoothly! Tell Rosimov to destroy me directly no matter which side of the special forces he encounters. Then they are suspicious of each other. The longer this war is fought, the better! ”
"It's the commander-in-chief! Han Yi understands! ”
March 20, 1933, was an extremely humiliating day for both the warring Britain and the Soviet Union.
On this day, three important ports of New Delhi, Kolkata, and Bangalore in the British Indian Federation were attacked almost simultaneously, a Brave-class aircraft carrier of the British Navy was badly damaged and almost scrapped, and one Queen Elizabeth-class battleship, three heavy cruisers, and five light cruisers were sunk. Although the British army inexplicably annihilated the two Far Eastern Storm special forces of Soviet Russia in the fierce battle that took place later, this was unacceptable to them compared to the battle losses! King George V of the United Kingdom and his cabinet Macdonald immediately went into a frenzy, sending the most combat-effective Royal Army armored division from the mainland, a team equipped with the latest research and development of Hurricane fighters and a Battelle bomber group, and transferred 150,000 people from a Royal Cavalry Regiment of the Indian Federation, six regular infantry divisions, a Royal Artillery Regiment and a Royal Tank Regiment to the warring north-central Afghanistan.
On this day, the Samotrol oil field in the Ural Federal District of Soviet Russia was attacked, and 10 oil wells of two large oil refineries exploded. A military factory in Tajikistan, which supplied ammunition to the belligerent Russian army, was bombed, and tens of thousands of tons of munitions were destroyed. It seriously affected the supply of weapons and ammunition to the Soviet and Russian troops. Although they found a number of small British elite units in succession near the scene, only a few dozen corpses were left by the Russian army. Enraged, Bearded Stamus decisively dispatched all the Far Eastern Storm special forces to fight against the British. As a result, the Anglo-Soviet war intensified.
Under these circumstances, the Ninth Panchen Lama and his entourage of more than 100 people, escorted by the armed forces of two divisions of the Western Corps of the Longwei Army, set out from Yushu in Qinghai and entered Tibet via Nagqu.
As soon as the whole team arrived in Nagqu, Toms, the British ambassador to country Z, drank a few cups of tea from President Chiang and was sent to Mu Han.
"Sir Toms, I didn't come all the way to see your country in a war with Soviet Russia! I'll declare it first! I can't afford to provoke any of you two countries, you'd better not fight my idea of Xinjiang and Tibet, these years of civil war and chaos have continued, and finally under the rule of our Longwei Army, the common people don't have to worry about the war, I don't want to get involved in the dispute between your two big countries. Yesterday, the special envoy sent by the Russian government asked me to borrow the way, but I didn't agree. Mu Han drank tea and scribbled haha.
At the same time, there is a hint of reserve and arrogance that is characteristic of British Empire officials.
Toms, the British ambassador to country Z, was choked by Mu Han enough, and said in his heart, you are too good at! Why did Tibet come under your rule? But Mu Han alluded to the Anglo-Soviet war, he really can't say anything else now, after all, he provoked the most hard-line force representative of country Z, and he really didn't want to borrow the way for the Russians, and the situation of the British ** team in the war at that time was very bad! So Thomas pondered for a moment and said, "That's really grateful to President Mu for his deep sense of righteousness, and my coming here has nothing to do with this matter!" Please rest assured, President Muslim! ”
Mu Han put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "Sir Toms, what are you doing so in such a hurry?" I heard that you were still in Nanjing yesterday, why did you fly directly to Urumqi today? ”
Tom's face immediately felt a little unnatural, and he hesitated a few times before he spoke: "This is the case, Your Excellency Vice President Mu, my government heard that you have ordered the Ninth Panchen Lama to enter Tibet two days ago. And stationed two divisions of armament! For this reason, the Tibetan Government and Abdullah Geerjislun and others are extremely disturbed by this, and they have entrusted our Government with the advice of His Excellency the President not to rush into Tibet, because this will cause instability in the Tibetan region and among the people, and I ask you to carefully consider their opinions. ”
Mu Han did not answer immediately, as if he was enchanted, he stared at Tom for a long time, and then said in surprise: Tibet has been China's inherent territory since ancient times, and this is a fact that no one or any force can change. Now that Tibet is under the jurisdiction of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest of Tibet, if the local government of Tibet or representatives from all walks of life want to say anything to me, it can naturally be sent to the government through normal channels. ”
"Ugh!" Toms looked stunned, he didn't expect this iron-blooded warlord to be too direct! Speaking does not turn in the slightest, and there are some words that cannot be said directly in the mouth of politicians
So, rather arrogantly, he said: "Your Excellency, Vice President Mu, the reason why my government has sent me to tell you these words is for the sake of the security of India, a colony of the British Empire. The actions of the anti-Japanese government in the northwest in Tibet have already harmed the interests of the Chinese government in Tibet, so I have no choice but to solemnly inform you of the words of the Chinese government, and I ask you to be cautious in dealing with the Tibet issue. ”
"Hahaha!" Mu Han suddenly burst out laughing, "May I ask Sir Tom, does your government have any factories and enterprises in Tibet?" Is there a large-scale trade exchange? As far as I know, no? In this case, I don't understand, where is the presence of our own Buddhist leaders and our own troops in our own areas harming the interests of your country? Don't worry, I haven't managed such a big place in the northwest yet! How can it provoke a world power? As for the Indian Federation of your country, I can responsibly tell you that I will not have the slightest thought! ”
As the ambassador of the British Empire to China, Thomas has always been courteous in country Z, when did he receive such cynicism? So he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Your Excellency Vice President Mu, you must know that we are also acting in accordance with the treaty in the "Simla Treaty", which stipulates that the troops of your government are not allowed to enter Tibet, and your remarks have seriously damaged the friendly relations between the British Empire and your country. ”
