In Serbia, when war between the Entente and the Central Powers was on the verge of breaking out, Song Xiaofei convened a high-level military meeting at the Presidential Palace, which was attended by Army Chief Duan Qirui, Far East Regional Commander Xu Shichang, Army Vice Minister Feng Guozhang, Navy Chief Liu Buyun, Navy Vice Minister Deng Shichang, First Artillery Corps Commander Jiang Baili, and other high-ranking generals. The main topic of the meeting was China's participation in the Entente or the Allies.

At that time, the world war had not yet broken out, and Feng Guozhang and others did not believe that the world war would break out, Feng Guozhang expressed doubts, saying, "The war in the Balkans is like the sky is going to rain, it happens every few years, it turns out that the war between Russia and the Ottoman Turkish Empire has happened more than ten times, and not a single world war, this time for a Serbia, Britain and France, will they fight with Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary?" Wasn't it less than two years after the Paris Peace Treaty was signed? ”

Song Xiaofei shook his head and said: "At that time, since 30 years ago, the European powers have been engaged in the struggle for hegemony and the division of territory on the continent and in the world, and the world's war crises have been constantly emerging. The German Empire, now a rising star, like a young man in a hurry to eat sugar, demanded a repartition of the world with the declining British Empire, and began to form an alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy. The British Empire, as an old imperialist, in order to maintain its hegemony as a global power and its colonial interests, had already felt the threat brought by the German Empire, and in order to curb the expansion of the German Empire, even if there was no conflict in the Balkans, a major war between Britain and Germany was inevitable. This time. France and Italy and Austria-Hungary also entered the war, and I believe that the flames of war will soon spread across the European continent, extending to Africa and Asia. The Atlantic, Mediterranean and Pacific will all become battlefields. Our army and navy must be ready to go to war at any time. ”

Duan Qirui said: "The President is right that in order to deal with its main enemy, Germany, the British Empire has abandoned its traditional policy of 'glorious isolation' and is desperately looking for allies and approaching France. In 1904, Britain and France signed an entente. The Entente stipulated: France recognized the privileges of Great Britain in Egypt. Britain recognized the privileges of France in Morocco. The two countries have also reconciled their tensions on the coast of Newfoundland, the Gambia, Niger, Siam (Thailand), Madagascar (Malagasy) and the New Hebrides. I think the major belligerent powers may be divided into two major military blocs, the Entente bloc consisting of Great Britain, France, and Russia on the one hand, and the Allied bloc consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and the Italian Empire on the other. ”

Xu Shichang stood up at this time and strongly supported Duan Qirui. Unhurriedly, he said: "I think General Duan sees very clearly that the expansion of Germany and Austria in the Balkans threatens the interests of Britain and France, Germany has occupied Ukraine and Poland, and once the triple B railway is built." Germany will become the master of Turkey and the Black Sea straits. British access to the Black Sea straits will be restricted by Germany. Under these circumstances, both England and France felt the need to unite against Germany. Britain and France not only adjusted the contradictions between the two countries in the struggle for colonies in Asia and Africa. An entente was also signed, which divided Iran into three parts, the northern part of the country was part of the French sphere of influence, the southeast part was part of the British sphere of influence, and the center was designated as a "buffer zone"; France recognized Afghanistan as a British vassal state. In this position, it was obvious that Britain and France were going to work together against Germany. ”

Deng Shichang said: "Then should we China join the Entente or the Allies? ”

Navy Chief Liu Buyun said: "I have visited several countries in Europe. If Britain and France join forces, whether it is naval or land strength. All far more than Germany and Austria-Hungary. ”

Duan Qirui studied in Germany and said, "That's not necessarily. Germany is now about the same strength as Britain, and the German Army is fighting a war, and it is also very strong. Especially the artillery of Germany and Austria-Hungary, which would definitely terrify the Anglo-French forces. Moreover, although Russia was also an Entente country, it was troubled by the Bolsheviks, and now its strength is basically zero, except for being able to send some coolie laborers, it is of little use. And Italy is not weak. ”

Song Xiaofei laughed and said: "Although Italy is now an Entente country, the Italians have always been the grass on the wall, if Britain and France buy Italy, Italy may fall to the Entente." ”

Liu Buyun said: "Then it seems that the Entente is stronger. We should join the Entente. ”

Song Xiaofei said: "We also have to consider the United States, although the United States is now in an economic crisis, once the economy recovers, it may also join the Entente, fish in troubled waters, and reap some benefits." ”

Liu Buyun said: "Then we have to join the Entente." ”

Song Xiaofei shook his head and said, "We allied with the Germans to carve up Tsarist Russia before, and the British may not believe in us again this time." Besides, the British have coveted Chinese territory for a long time, and I think they should soon make a move. Then we would have to fight with the British, to defend our territory. ”

Song Xiaofei knew that the ** autonomous region, known as "Fan" in ancient times, referred to as "Tibet", has its capital Lhasa. It is located in the southwest of the Tibetan Plateau in China. It is adjacent to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in the north, Sichuan Province in the east, Qinghai Province in the northeast, Yunnan Province in the southeast, Myanmar, India, Bhutan, Nepal and other countries in the south, and Kashmir in the west, with a land border of more than 4,000 kilometers, a widest of more than 900 kilometers from north to south, and a maximum of more than 2,000 kilometers from east to west.

** is an inalienable part of China's sacred territory, and the central government has always exercised effective jurisdiction over **. The Tibetan people are an important member of the big family of the Chinese nation. **In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was called "Tubo", in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, it was called "Wusizang", and in the Qing Dynasty, it was called "Tangut", "Tubert", etc. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was called "**" to this day.

**Known for its majestic, magical and magnificent natural beauty. It has a vast area, spectacular landforms and abundant resources. Since ancient times, the people of this land have created a rich and splendid national culture.

Historically, ** is part of China, and Tibetan compatriots are members of China's multi-ethnic family. It was not a "problem", but the British continued to invade and meddle in affairs in history, becoming the initiator of the "problem" and one of the hardest advocates.

Britain has long coveted this treasure land. In the mid-19th century, the overseas possessions of the "British Empire" increased at a rate of 100,000 square miles per year, advancing from the southwest to China's doorstep. In 1865, the colonial authorities of British India sent people to infiltrate in disguise and secretly draw maps. In 1888 and 1903, Britain invaded under the pretext of border disputes and trade. The second of them penetrated deep into the hinterland, slaughtering resistance forces armed with broadswords, spears, and arquebuses with machine guns and artillery, and occupied Lhasa in August 1904. The motive for this aggression was that Curzon, then Governor-General of British India, tried to establish "influence and authority" before the Russians, and tried to turn it into a buffer between British India and Tsarist Russia.

After all, the aggressor will not be able to gain a foothold in **. Before withdrawing from Lhasa, the British invading army forced the local government to sign the "Lhasa Treaty" by force, trying to turn it into a British exclusive sphere of influence. This treaty was illegal and invalid even at the time, but the invaders still used it as an excuse to extract a large amount of reparations from the Qing government, and deployed military and police in the ** border town of Yadong.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, China was faced with new internal and external troubles. The British took advantage of the fire to rob, not only seized a large number of interests and privileges, but also deliberately wooed the upper echelons and provoked the relationship between the local government and the central government. In 1913, Britain forced the Beiyang government to send representatives to the "Simla Conference". At the meeting, McMahon, the representative of the British government and the secretary of foreign affairs of the British and Indian colonial governments, proposed to divide ** into "internal Tibet" and "external Tibet" in an attempt to sever the connection between ** and the central government. He also concocted the infamous "McMahon Line," which pushed the eastern section of the Sino-Indian border about 96 kilometers north, and assigned 90,000 square kilometers of the territory that had traditionally belonged to China to British India. The central government of China at that time did not authorize its representatives to sign the treaty, nor did it recognize any secret treaties and documents concluded between the local government and the British. Although the conspiracy of the Simla Conference was legally bankrupt, it has harmed China's territorial sovereignty for a century.

After the end of the First World War, the national liberation movement was surging, and the British colonial empire began to collapse, but Britain's coveting of ** still did not change. In 1943, the British Foreign Office issued a report entitled "The Question of "Suzerainty" with China", proposing to abolish China's "suzerainty" over China, and later gave up for fear that China would send troops. On August 5 of the same year, British Foreign Minister Eden wrote a memorandum to Soong Ziwen, the foreign minister of the Nationalist Government at the time, insisting that ** had "de facto and complete autonomy" and tried to convene a Simla-style conference again. The Chinese side ignored it.

In 1947, India and Pakistan were awarded the Mountbatten Plan**, and the following year, Burma and Sri Lanka**. Britain no longer has a foothold in South Asia, and its national strength is not strong, so it has to change its way of interfering in ** affairs. First, politically it does not recognize China's sovereignty over China, and only recognizes "China's special status in China". For a long time, Britain was the only Western power that did not recognize China's sovereignty over the country. The second is to secretly incite "**" separatist forces to make trouble. After the peaceful liberation in the 50s, the British **6 Department sent agents to disguise themselves as mountaineers and sneak in**. London is also one of the strongholds in Europe for exiled "**" elements. The organizations "Freedom Movement" and "International Support Network" are both based in London. The third is that British dignitaries openly meet with the ** to cheer up the "**" forces. Since 1991, when Major opened the precedent of the British Prime Minister's meeting, all previous British Prime Ministers have to meet once during their tenure, and it seems that they are not there, and the British Prime Minister's resume is incomplete. On May 14 this year, Prime Minister Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Clegg met again "as is customary".

Under the careful planning and vigorous promotion of the British side, the "** problem" that did not exist in the first place was simply created. The lie has been told for a hundred years and repeated countless times, and it has been believed to be true by many people in the West. Some Britons may also be proud of the international influence of the "British Empire". Looking at what Britain has done in the world, from "India and Pakistan" to "Palestine and Israel" to North and South Sudan, the British are indeed masters of causing trouble.

But a lie is a lie, and the fact that it is part of China will never change. Britain can only avoid being isolated if it follows the trend of world progress. In October 2008, British Foreign Secretary Jean-Michel Miliband issued a statement on Tibet-related issues in the House of Commons of Parliament, publicly stating that Britain did not support "****" and believed that ** was part of the People's Republic of China.

Theoretically, Miliband's statement resolved the last remaining issue between China and Britain. But in the eyes of some, even this "late" decision was a major loss for Britain and "cheapened" the Chinese. These people have not yet gotten out of the myth of colonialism, and this kind of imperial arrogance and dark psychology can only breed more lies and prejudices about **.
