"Idiots, idiots!"

After Baldwin learned about the Tibetan provincial incident, he could no longer control his emotions in front of Churchill and scolded directly.

Churchill was also helpless, because the situation in Tibetan Province was the only one that their Conservative Party insisted on and participated in the intervention. You must know that Li Bufan, the leader of the Chinese Young Zhuang faction, is not a good man and a woman, everyone knows that Li Bufan is a tooth for a tooth, and the Chinese side has indeed supported the revolutionaries in Britain and France and other colonies with a tooth for a tooth, and has spread Burma and even India and Afghanistan into smoke. But what do they do when they know this consequence and still interfere in the affairs of Tibetan Province? Not to contain China's power? Draining China's national power?

Baldwin howled bitterly, "What idiots has the War Office done, what idiots the officers sent out, the stupidest idiots in the world, I'm going crazy." On the first day, they lost Naqu, and on the second day Lhasa was lost and driven across the Brahmaputra River, so you say that the Chinese need to spend a few days driving them out of Tibetan Province? One or two million square kilometers of land, just recovered by the Chinese? One or two hundred thousand, defeated by hundreds of Chinese soldiers like this? Don't even have the courage to resist? ”

He was almost crazy, and when he first received the telegram, he was furious, thinking that the damned military would dare to play such a joke on him. However, after confirming it continuously, he knew that it was true, and he almost vomited blood on the spot. Imagine how long he was planning? How long did the British Empire stay in Tibet? It was defeated by the Chinese in two days. But the damned Chinese revenge on the colonies surnamed the British Empire but less killing, looting, robbing money and constantly buying arms from the Chinese, the power has grown dramatically, doesn't this show that they are incompetent?

Are they incompetent? No. Baldwin was convinced that he was right in his decision, and that the damn executor was stupid.

Churchill said bitterly: "The Chinese attack is to send troops to parachute from planes to attack, which is a tactic that has never been done in history. In addition, their planes just bombed the barracks, causing the main force of the Tibetan army to suffer heavy losses and lose the ability to organize counterattacks. The worst thing is that the natives of Tibetan Province could not imagine such an attack, they thought it was the mythical 'divine punishment of heaven', you think about it, if the angels of Europe attack a place, can our army have the courage to resist? ”

Baldwin looked at Churchill and was speechless for a moment. He asked himself if such a thing happened, but he was afraid that the troops of the British Empire would also lose the courage to resist.

Churchill said fiercely: "Tibet Province is actually nothing, there is not much interest here, and it cannot contain many Chinese troops." What I am worried about now is the air force of the Chinese, whose air force is developing too quickly, too advanced, too terrible. In addition to bombing and attacking in the traditional sense, they have developed the ability to strike lethally against the main ships of the navy, and now they can even use parachute to attack the deep and vertical rear of the locality. Can you imagine that if we go to war with the Chinese in the West, and millions of troops are invested on the front lines on both sides, but the headquarters hundreds of kilometers away cannot always put a large number of troops, right? But what will be the consequences if the Chinese directly strike at the command center with a regiment, or even a brigade or a division? ”

Baldwin was already in a daze, he really didn't dare to imagine such a situation, if China and the Western coalition went to war, then there was no doubt that there were important generals from many countries in the command, and they really wanted to be attacked like this, if all these senior officers were killed, it would be okay, if they were captured? Then he didn't dare to imagine how this war would continue, even if it was barely fought, the entire Western world would have completely lost face, and the morale of the entire Western world would be destroyed.

The most terrible thing is that once the majesty of the entire Western world is swept away, then how can the colonies spread all over the world be suppressed? There is no doubt that the anti-colonial forces all over the world will be instigated by China, like a prairie fire that will burn their entire white world system to the ground.

The more Baldwin thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he broke out in a cold sweat, shook his head hard, and said, "Damn, damn it, don't let this happen." ”

Churchill gritted his teeth and said, "Yes." To prevent this from happening, then the empire must have equally advanced aircraft, as long as we have enough advanced and enough aircraft to control the sky, then the Chinese will not dare to fight in such airborne operations, and even we can implement such tactics against the Chinese. ”

Baldwin was overjoyed: "Your Excellency Churchill, good idea. However, the planes made by our aircraft factories are really unsightly compared with Chinese planes. ”

Churchill said: "So we need to act and put pressure on Prime Minister McDonald to come forward and force all aircraft factories to join forces to develop and produce an aircraft that is more advanced and can compete with the Chinese." Their Social Workers Party has been a substitute for the dead, their support has dropped dramatically, and they have offended a lot of capital groups by fighting for the welfare of workers, and we have let them do all the bad things, and I believe that soon we will be able to relaunch the general election and remove them from power. Then you will come forward as prime minister, preside over and organize the entire Western world to encircle and suppress the Chinese, and restore the glory of the British Empire, then you will become the greatest leader in the entire world. ”

When Baldwin heard this, he was moved, as a ** country, this is already the highest honor, and everyone wants to be famous through the ages. If this great thing is really done, then his prestige will definitely be no less than that of Queen Victoria, who opened the colonial world of the British Empire, and even more than the French Emperor Napoleon, and the British Empire will become a veritable leader of the entire white Western world because of this war, and achieve hegemony through the ages.

But after the excitement, Baldwin quickly calmed down, thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Judging from the preparations of the Chinese side, they are already preparing for this war. Well, Churchill, when do you think the Chinese will start a war? How much time do we have to prepare? ”

Churchill thought for a moment and said: "German and Jewish technicians have been leaving China, and according to our intelligence, Chinese manufacturing industry is currently hit hard, and every manufacturing heavy industry is piled up with scrap, and their industrial capacity is almost less than half left, and according to expert estimates, it will take three years for them to restore their industrial capacity at the earliest." For this reason, I don't think Li Bufan will launch an offensive for at least two or three years, because this will be unfavorable for them, and if the logistics can't keep up, their army's weapons will become burning sticks, which means that it may lead to the defeat of the entire war. I believe that with Li Bufan's ability, he will not fail to think of this. ”

Baldwin shook his head and said, "No, according to normal logic, your analysis is correct. But Li Bufan is not a normal person, he is the best soldier in the world tempered by the war of the world war, he has the most loyal officer corps in the world, and most importantly, he is extremely adventurous. If you analyze it carefully, you will understand that his rebellion from Ma'anshan to revenge, and then attacking Nanjing, is it a risky attack with a huge disparity in strength? Lu Yongxiang, the overseer who took Jiangsu and then attacked Zhejiang, was he taking a risk? Later, with the help of the three provinces in East China, it started a war with the Beiyang direct line and the revolutionary party at the same time, and even when the base camp was subjected to a super-large-scale riot, it still did not retreat but attacked, is it a risk? Before Li Bufan unified the whole country, he dared to declare war on Yue Ben because civilians were killed or injured by himself, was he taking a risk? Yes, he was lucky, he deserved to encounter a once-in-a-century earthquake, and the worst thing was that his huge strategic reserves were also destroyed by the earthquake, and a large number of assembled troops also suffered heavy losses. But we have to admit that he is a risk-taking man, and he is very proficient in the traditional Chinese art of war, which in the words of the Chinese art of war is called 'unprepared'. ”

"It's 'unprepared'." Churchill reminded. Still, he felt that Baldwin was right, and there was no denying Lee's adventurous spirit. Even Li Bufan's investment in heavy industry in China is carried out in a very risky way, because Li Bufan directly built the entire factory near the mine, and if the mine is not large or has a wrong judgment and does not have investment value, it will definitely make you vomit blood. But I have to say that Li Bufan's luck is really good, or Li Bufan's prospecting team is too powerful, so far, such a madman-like investment seems to have never failed.

'yes!' Attack it unprepared, surprise it'. Baldwin sighed, since the Western world reached a consensus on the military action against China, the top leaders of Western countries have begun to study China's art of war, the more they study, the more they feel that China's art of war is really extremely profound, China's art of war and tactical level I don't know whether I think it is not enough level or what, there are few mentioned above, almost all the tactical strategies mentioned are at the strategic level, and some historical examples make people feel shocked.

Churchill was surprised: "You mean that Li Bufan will definitely start a war in advance in order to catch us off guard?" ”

Baldwin said, "Yes. Once we in the Western world unite, the Chinese will be at a disadvantage in almost every aspect, except for a few limited technologies such as airplanes. If they want to gain the initiative on the battlefield, they must attack in advance, take advantage of our unpreparedness, gain the strategic initiative, and occupy strategic points. ”

Churchill said dissatisfiedly: "Not every time they have that kind of luck. And we're not ourselves. After a pause, he said, "Then when do you think the Chinese will attack?" ”

Baldwin said, "One year." In a year or so, they will definitely go on the offensive. Because in one year, we may not be able to fully convince the people of the Western world, nor will we be fully prepared for war. ”

Churchill's eyes flashed and he said, "Makes sense." So, are we putting pressure on Siam to slow down the rail and road links to Yunnan? ”

Baldwin sneered, "No. The Chinese need roads and railways, we need them even more, we have more heavy weapons than them. ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" (To be continued.) )
