China's Nanjing Provisional Political Axe continued to set off turbulent waves in East Asia, not to mention the unification of the whole country, and only after the battle was completed, it threatened Siam with heavy troops, causing an international uproar.

You must know that the current China is not the original Manchu Qing Dynasty and the turbulent Republic of China, but a unified country, although it is only a temporary political axe, but the Chinese military has defeated the huge fleet of the world's third naval power, and defeated the old power Russia by an overwhelming advantage. China's national defense industry has also undergone earth-shaking changes, no longer the Manchu Qing Dynasty that could not even make rifles, but a powerful country with a complete national defense industrial system and the ability to manufacture the most advanced modern equipment.

China has become one of the world's great powers, and even if many countries in the Western world are unwilling to admit it, they cannot change this fact. Perhaps China's industrial scale needs to be improved, but China's huge population is something that no country can ignore, which certainly increases the pressure on China's development, but at the same time, it also shows that China's potential for mobilization is endless. Not to mention that perhaps the birth rate is not as high as the population, and theoretically China can carry on this kind of intense war indefinitely.

The most difficult thing for China to endure is of course the United Kingdom. As the maritime hegemon that has dominated the sea for 300 years, Britain seized the largest number of colonies in the world during the era of great colonization, and more than a quarter of the world's land was under the control of the British, and it was the first to launch a war of aggression against China -- the Opium War, and it also had the greatest interests in China.

China's rise threatens not only British interests in China, but also those in East Asia as a whole.

"The purpose? Are you asking me why the Chinese are doing this? Churchill. ”

Churchill looked at Admiral Hagrid seriously and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, you were the commander of the Imperial Army in the world war, and I would very much like to hear your opinion. ”

Hagrid sneered, "Army Commander? Are you here to sarcastically mock me? Now a lot of people are saying I'm a 'butcher general', do you know the Battle of the Somme? The offensive suffered more than 100,000 casualties a day, and the positions we captured were not enough to bury the bodies of the dead officers and soldiers. Do you know how many people are still clamoring for me to be court-martialed? ”

Churchill said, "Your Excellency, there was no choice in that situation. I was also the undersecretary of the navy in the world war, planning the Turkish landing operation, and as a result, you know, more than 300,000 troops were annihilated by the Turks in a narrow coastal strip. I didn't mean to make fun of you at all, I always thought you were a strong general, so I would love to hear your opinion, what exactly is the purpose of the Chinese gathering 500,000 elite troops in Yunnan? ”

Admiral Hagrid finally became serious and thought for a long time: "The Siamese people do not know the current affairs, and the Chinese want to teach them a lesson. But, in my opinion. The most important purpose of the Chinese in doing this is deterrence. ”

Churchill frowned: "Deterrence? Deterrent Siam? France? Or are we? ”

"Both!" Admiral Hagrid replied in the affirmative, pulling out a map and pointing to the southwest of China, "You see, Yunnan in China borders Annam, Siam, and the Burmese colonies of the Empire. In terms of the military strength of Siam, I think the Chinese only need three divisions to defeat them, but the Chinese have more than thirty divisions in Yunnan. Judging from normal logic, this is a complete military waste, and China's interim president, Li Bufan, who had participated in a world war, would never make such a low-level mistake. ”

Churchill nodded, although the Western world and he personally hated Li Bufan very much, but he had to admit that Li Bufan was an excellent leader and could not make such a mistake.

Admiral Hagrid then pointed to the map of East Asia and said, "Look at the whole of East Asia, what other enemies does China have at present?" Originally, it was said that it was China's worst enemy, but now it has been basically crippled, and it is impossible to threaten China's security in 30 years; There is a sharp territorial dispute between Soviet Russia and China in the north, and if China wants to regain lost territory when it rises, there will be a war between China and the Soviet Union. But now winter is about to begin, and winter is not suitable for large-scale warfare; Finally, we have a large number of unequal treaties with China, China's rise, the abolition of unequal treaties is inevitable, a strong country will never tolerate such a humiliation, let alone a military strongman like Chinese leader Li Bufan. ”

Churchill looked at Admiral Hagrid in surprise and said, "You mean that the Chinese are ready to go to war with us?" ”

Admiral Hagrid said, "There is no doubt about this. If it is a colony, countries may compromise with each other because of their strength, but that is China's own territory. The Chinese used new tactics to defeat the navy, but in reality the size and strength of the Chinese navy is still not strong, and they cannot compete with us at sea. For this reason, I believe that once the Chinese go to war with us, the Chinese navy will mainly protect important ports and coastal waters and avoid a decisive battle with our navy. However, they can play to their advantage, which is that their large army is launching a counteroffensive against our colonies from the ground. As he spoke, he tapped on the map of the Indochina region.

Churchill's eyes shrank, his face was solemn, but he quickly said toughly: "The Chinese army can defeat Yuben, but it is definitely not the opponent of the imperial and French armies, we have the most powerful heavy artillery group in the world, we can use the 'God of War' to eliminate them, even if they come more, they are all cannon fodder." ”

Admiral Hagrid sneered, pointed to the Indochina Peninsula and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think you have studied the geography of this area. This is not the endless ocean of your navy, nor is it the battlefield of the World War on the plains of Western Europe. It's an undeveloped rainforest, the traffic is extremely bad, and it's full of poisonous insects and beasts, it's difficult to march on foot, and you want to pull heavy artillery to the front line? ”

Churchill was taken aback and said, "But aren't the Chinese vigorously developing the railway and road transportation system in the southwest?" ”

Admiral Hagrid sneered, "That's in China, and I want you to think about how wide the railways and roads are combined?" As long as it is in favorable terrain, a battalion of troops can be defended like a fortress. Don't forget, the Chinese have advanced aircraft, and such transportation arteries can be easily blocked by air raids and bombing when necessary. Once the war breaks out, in order to redeem the disadvantage at sea, China will definitely invest more than hundreds of thousands, or even millions, and the main transportation routes will certainly become the focus of contention, but most of the war will still be carried out in the jungle, and heavy weapons cannot be carried in the jungle, and it will be a contest of light infantry. As far as I know, the current standard equipment of the Chinese [***] team is automatic weapons, and the infantry firepower is more than three times that of our Western countries. After a pause, he stared into Churchill's eyes and said, "So, do you still have the confidence to win?" ”

Churchill stared at the map and was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "We can have another landing operation." ”

Hagrid laughed, "Then tell me, where to land?" Shanghai? Don't forget, the Chinese secretly built a fortress battery in Shanghai, 16-inch fortress guns, is the navy willing to face such a terrifying fortress? Or did your navy let our army swim over and capture the enemy's fortress while out of range of the fortress guns? ”

Churchill could naturally hear the sarcasm in Admiral Hagrid's words, and knew that the army was very interested in him Churchill, as long as he heard about the landing battle, all the army would think of the Turkish landing battle he planned at the beginning, as long as the battle plan that was related to the landing battle, the possibility of being approved by the army was almost zero. If it is to deal with the previous China, of course, there is no problem, after all, at that time China could not even make rifles, but now China has been able to build 16-inch terror cannons, who knows what kind of situation will be faced by the landing? Maybe there are a large number of such terrifying cannons waiting for them. Not to mention how many cannons such a giant cannon is, even if it exists, it can also scare the army, and it is a terrifying existence that can empty most of the football field with one cannon.

Churchill, of course, would not change his mind so easily, and from the conversation he already sensed that the Army was opposed to such a war, at least Admiral Hagrid. His eyes swept over the map, and suddenly he said: "We can transport troops to French Annam and attack China's Guangxi from here, and the coastal area will not be so bad." ”

"Bang Bang!" With a gentlemanly smile, Admiral Hagrid applauded and laughed: "You are really a genius, worthy of being a genius who can plan the 'Turkish landing battle'." ”

Churchill was repeatedly exposed by the other party, and said angrily on the spot: "Hagrid, are you insulting me?" I now ask you to apologize to me immediately. "Haha, hahahahaha." Admiral Hagrid leaned back with a smile as if he had heard a big joke, and when he stopped laughing, he changed his expression to a vicious expression and roared, "You self-righteous idiot. Landing in Annam? Do you know how terrible the Chinese's submarines are, they can sink their capital ships in batches and transport troops to Annam? How long will that troop carrier sail in the South China Sea? Five days and five nights! Do you know for five days and five nights? Do you want our army to go to the South China Sea to nurture the fish there? Also, have you forgotten about the bombing of Chinese bombers? A single surname bombing almost destroyed a city. The large-scale build-up and landing of the army in Annam is to let our army eat bombs. Oh, I forgot, your plan also allows us to carry a large number of heavy artillery, if the shells of those heavy artillery are detonated, I think our army soldiers will not even be able to find the ashes, can they even save the burial expenses?. You idiot, next time you propose a battle plan, think about it with your pig brain. As he spoke, he stood up, put on his military hat, gave a fierce "phew", and walked away.

"You" Churchill's face was so angry that he pointed to Admiral Hagrid's back, and his whole body trembled.
