The Greek and Armenian invasion of Turkey, which threatened the Baghdad Railway, which was controlled by the Chinese Empire, and seriously threatened the Chinese Empire's core interests in Turkey and in Southeastern Europe, the Chinese Empire decided to intervene to defend its interests.

The day after the Imperial Council ended, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff of the Chinese Empire drew up a detailed plan of action and took immediate action.

On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese Empire held a press conference, in which it raised concerns and concerns about the situation in Turkey, accused Greece and Armenia of being the main culprits in creating tensions in the region, and that all military actions should be stopped immediately, and called on the countries concerned to convene peace talks, and the Chinese Empire was willing to act as a mediator. The move was supported by international public opinion, and European anti-war activists spoke highly of it, arguing that the Chinese Empire was doing what it was supposed to do as a responsible power.

Having gained the upper hand in public opinion, the Chinese Empire immediately instructed the Permanent Representative of the League of Nations to further put forward the demands of the Chinese Empire. The League of Nations was used to draft the first peacekeeping law since its establishment, numbered 192010110001 (the first eight digits are the RI period, and the last four digits are case numbers), which required the League of Nations to intervene in the war between Greece, Armenia and Turkey.

The League of Nations immediately convened a general assembly of the member states to vote on Plan No. 192010110001 drafted by the Chinese Empire. As a result, the results of the first round of voting showed that 30 of the 39 ordinary member States voted in favour and 6 against. 3 abstentions. The six countries that voted against were basically members of the Balkan Union, which supported Greece, and the Transcaucasian Soviet Union, which supported Armenia.

The draft was adopted in the first instance, but it hit the nail in the nail in the permanent vote of the members in the second instance. Despite Germany's support, Italy abstained. Britain and France, on the other hand, directly used the veto power of the permanent members to directly veto the draft.

The Chinese Empire was quite dissatisfied with the British and French votes, and immediately held a closed-door meeting with Britain and France for consultations.

Britain and France, both the real emissaries behind Greece and Armenia, will naturally vote against it, let alone change their positions easily. For this reason, the Chinese Empire had to use some means to force Britain and France to compromise and make concessions.

After the war, Britain and France, despite the economic aid of the Chinese Empire, temporarily controlled the domestic situation. But the two countries suffered enormous losses in the war, and the economies that had been set back for 20 years could not recover in a short period of time. Britain wanted to restore the gold standard, but 95% of its gold and silver reserves were lost during the war to buy advanced aircraft, tanks, and supplies. The vast majority of them went to the Chinese Empire. After the war, the British cabinet hoped to revive Britain's economic hegemony, but although South Africa's gold reserves were huge, it could not support the exchange of pound sterling banknotes in a short period of time, and the pound was still at a high level of depreciation, with a ratio of 75:1 to the world's only stable dragon coin. This compares with the pre-war level of 1:5, which shows a sharp depreciation of the pound.

The British coalition cabinet has made many efforts, but in the end they have failed, and without enough gold reserves, it is impossible to recover the large amount of pound sterling banknotes circulating in the market, and it is impossible to talk about curbing inflation and restoring the gold standard. The British authorities repeatedly appealed to the Chinese Empire for help. The Chinese Empire was asked to lend Britain 1,000 tons of gold as reserves, but the Chinese Empire refused. The Chinese Empire only borrowed dragon coins from the British. Dragon coins can only be used to purchase goods from the Chinese Empire, and direct exchange for gold is prohibited. The Chinese Empire held 90% of the world's gold reserves. Therefore, it is also impractical for Britain to want gold from other countries.

As a result, Britain's gold standard rescue plan has been delayed for a long time, and economic recovery cannot be discussed.

The Chinese Empire put pressure on Britain on the Turkish issue, but the British also made a condition to the Chinese Empire, asking the Chinese Empire to lend 1,000 tons of gold to Britain.

After several rounds of bargaining, the Chinese Empire finally agreed to provide Britain with 540 tons of gold to buy British government bonds in exchange for the Bank of England to recycle 3 billion pounds of paper money on the market to alleviate inflationary pressures in Britain. The British authorities only thought about how to get gold to maintain the gold standard financial system, and at the same time recover the excess sterling banknotes on the market to curb inflation and restore the economy. But they ignore one of the most critical issues, the Chinese Empire's move is actually a stock speculation tactic, in the pound sterling when it is the least valuable in exchange for the pound on a large scale, when Britain restores the gold standard, the end of inflation, the pound will appreciate, the Chinese Empire to buy the bottom of the 3 billion pounds of real purchasing power will be equivalent to 4,000 tons of gold, virtually, the Chinese Empire is equivalent to a huge amount of usury to the British, the rate of return is amazing.

Similarly, the Chinese Empire provided France with 480 tons of gold to buy French government bonds in exchange for the recovery of 78 billion franc banknotes circulating in the market by the Bank of Zhongyang, which also helped France restore the gold standard and control inflation in France.

Britain and France naturally have a number of high-level economic think tanks, they saw the huge amount of money, they once persuaded Britain and France not to make this deal with the Chinese Empire, but the British and French authorities believed that although the Chinese Empire benefited from it, Britain and France also gained more than they lost, so according to the game theory, this is the right choice for Britain and France.

The bank capitalists in Britain and France also had a keen opinion on this, and although the economies of Britain and France were hit hard by the world war, this did not affect the profits of the bank capitalists in both countries. During the war, the bankers never suffered losses, on the contrary, they made a lot of war profits, and the big conglomerates before the war became super conglomerates, and the small conglomerates became large conglomerates, and only the common people and the middle class were the biggest victims of the war.

However, the banking groups of Britain and France, like their zhengfu, only had banknotes backed by zhengfu credit, and no gold or silver, so they could not get the gold that their respective countries needed, so they could only watch the Chinese Empire use gold as capital to grab money from Britain and France on a large scale.

Meanwhile. In addition to reaching an agreement with Britain and France to exchange gold for government bonds, the Chinese Empire promised Britain and France that it would ensure the supply of oil to both countries in exchange. In exchange for Britain and France to stop supporting Greece and Armenia in attacking Turkey and stop threatening the Baghdad railway.

After the world war, the world's energy demand changed from coal to electricity and oil, especially the large number of chariots, planes, trucks and other equipment provided by the Chinese Empire to Europe, which were all bottomless pit of oil, and half of the oil supply of Britain and France originally relied on the supply of the Kuwait base of the Chinese Empire in Bos Bay, and the other half was imported from the United States. But after the Sino-American war, the main oil-producing areas of the United States were ceded to Mexico. Mexico and the Chinese Empire are allies, and as long as the Chinese Empire says a word, it will completely cut off the oil and energy supply of Britain and France, so the Chinese Empire used oil to talk about it, and suddenly pinched the seven inches of Britain and France. Force them to comply.

After three days of closed-door consultations, the Chinese Empire and Britain and France reached a unanimous agreement. At the meeting of the permanent members of the League of Nations on the fourth day, Britain, France, and Italy abstained from voting at the same time, and finally adopted the 192010110001 resolution with two votes in favor of the Chinese Empire and Germany.

Subsequently, Wang Meng, secretary general of the League of Nations, officially issued the No. 1 Decree of the League of Nations in 1920. Greece and Armenia were ordered to cease their aggression against Turkey.

However, Greece and Armenia still believed that the League of Nations was merely talk, that the League of Nations had no army and that there was no real threat to them. Therefore, the two countries ignored the decree of the League of Nations and continued to attack Turkey.

Greece and Armenia ignored the decree of the League of Nations. In this way, the Chinese Empire had an excuse to send troops.

July 5 of the twentieth year of Guanghua. The two aircraft carrier battle groups of the Atlantic Fleet of the Chinese Empire entered the Mediterranean Sea and joined the Seventh Carrier Battle Group of the Mediterranean Fleet. Three days later, the 9th Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Chinese Empire also entered the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal.

On July 9, the Mediterranean Fleet Command established the Aegean Task Force, a battleship battle group and four aircraft carrier battle groups, for a total of 88 warships. At the same time, the air wing of the Cyprus base where the Mediterranean Command is located has also been expanded, and the Chinese Empire has transferred four fighter air wings and three bomber air wings from the bases in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, plus the original fighters and bombers of the Cyprus base, a total of nine air wings, with 200 Hellfire fighters, 300 Thunderbolt fighters, and 400 H2N1 bombers.

In addition, the 3rd Marine Division, which completed the mechanization reform, is also stationed at the base in Cyprus. The division has three tank regiments equipped with advanced weapons and equipment such as the "armored three musketeers" and two mechanized infantry regiments, and is an ace marine division that has fought all the way from the battlefield of RI and the United States, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

The advance fleet of the Aegean Task Force entered the Sea of Marmara on the 13th and cruised along the northwest coastline occupied by the Greek army, which immediately frightened Greece, and the Greek president urgently ordered the Greek army and the Greek navy on the front line not to take the initiative to fire at the Imperial Chinese Navy, and specifically instructed the Greek Navy to withdraw from the territorial waters of Turkey to avoid a mismatch with the Imperial Chinese Navy.

As for the form of land war, the attitude of the Greek military is contrary to that of the presidential palace, they believe that the Chinese Empire is just scaring and scare, and the Chinese Empire did not participate in the war during the world war, and will not directly intervene at this time, so the Greek Navy withdrew from the Sea of Marmara, but the Greek Army and Air Force still beat the Turkish army and continued to occupy Turkish territory.

A week later, the Aegean Task Force of the Chinese Empire sailed into the Sea of Marmara and landed in the Turkish capital of Constantinople. At this time, the Greek presidential palace already felt a little bad, but the military ignored it, thinking that the Chinese emperor ** was only protecting the Baghdad railway, as long as the Greek army did not get close to the Baghdad railway and did not take the initiative to provoke the Chinese emperor**, it would be fine.

At the same time that the 3rd Marine Division landed in Constantinople, the Chinese Empire established the Gulf Theater Command at the Kuwait base in Bos Bay to develop tactics for launching an attack on the Armenian state in order to rescue Turkey. At the same time, the Chinese Empire also has a deeper strategic purpose, that is, the Transcaucasian Federation, where Armenia is located, controls the Baku oil region in the Caspian Sea, the world's second largest oil-producing area, and the Chinese Empire politically wants to force Transcaucasia not to join the Soviet Union, militarily to defend the Gulf oil region and the Baghdad Railway, and economically control the Baku oil area, completely monopolizing the global oil supply.

No matter how you look at it. The Chinese Empire had a reason to send troops directly to the state of Armenia.

On September 17, at dawn there, the Chinese Imperial Air Force began air strikes against Armenia in the face of Armenia's refusal to implement Resolution No. 1 of the League of Nations Commission. and launched a military operation codenamed "Thunder Strike". The Gulf War broke out.

After the Sino-American War, many of the new military combat theories of the Chinese Empire were tested in actual combat. The biggest takeaway is the enormous impact of air supremacy on naval and land warfare.

Therefore, after the outbreak of the Gulf War, the first step of the Chinese Empire's thunderous blow was to launch a large-scale air campaign. These include strategic air strikes, the seizure of air supremacy in the Armenian theater of operations, and preparations for battlefield support for the ground offensive.

The Armenian Air Force had an advantage over the Turkish Air Force, because it was Britain and France that left behind a large number of fighters and bombers after the war, and with the conclusion of the Five-Power Pact, the armies of the five permanent members entered a fifteen-year vacation, so these combat aircraft were useless. But the maintenance costs were enormous, and the Anglo-French Entente simply did not have the financial resources to maintain it, so it cheapened the Entente countries like Armenia and Greece, and their backward air forces suddenly became stronger.

And it's this sudden power. The small Greek and Armenian militaries became so blind that they thought they were invincible, and they didn't even pay attention to the Chinese Empire's proclamation (think of the Vietnamese army after the Vietnam War).

The naval aviation of the Chinese Empire in Bos Bay mobilized two air wings, and the air force of the Kuwait base also dispatched three air wings to participate in the war.

The Armenian Air Force's 322 so-called advanced fighters from France, Britain and Italy can kill the Turkish Air Force. But after encountering the Hellfire and Thunderbolt fighters of the Chinese Empire, it was like hitting the south wall, and the head was immediately bleeding.

In just two days, the Armenian Air Force was beaten 322:0 by the Chinese Imperial Air Force. The entire air force was wiped out, but not a single fighter of the Chinese Empire was shot down. One-sided slaughter. The entire Armenian military was in an uproar, and only then did they know the difference in strength with the Chinese emperor.

However. It was already too late for the Armenian military to wake up.

After gaining air supremacy, the Air Force of the Chinese Empire immediately entered the second phase of the operation, without giving the Armenian army any time to breathe and adjust.

The focus of air operations shifted to the Armenian theater of operations, with strategic bombing and tactical strikes at fixed points. By the 23rd, the Chinese Imperial Air Force had dispatched nearly 200,000 sorties of fighters and bombers, dropped 80,000 tons of bombs, fired more than 5,000 air-to-ground rockets, and carried out multi-directional, multi-ple, high-intensity sustained air strikes on selected targets, greatly weakening the command, control, communications and intelligence capabilities of the Armenian army, strategic air strikes and surgical fixed-point strikes, paralyzing the Armenian army's war potential and strategic counterattack capability, and causing the Armenian army's forward troops on the battlefield to lose nearly two-thirds. The losses of the rear troops were about a quarter, creating the conditions for the Chinese emperor ** to launch a ground offensive.

During this period, the Armenian army, which had lost air supremacy, was forced to implement passive defense in order to avoid the aerial bombs and rockets of the Imperial Chinese Air Force and the machine-gun sweeps, and to hide from the air raids and preserve its strength by hiding underground, concealing the truth and revealing the false, and evacuating. The Armenian army tried to delay and stop the military operations of the Chinese imperial army by dumping oil on the battlefield, igniting oil wells in Iraq and Kuwait, and threatening to use chemical weapons. Because before the Chinese Empire's ground forces were dispatched, special forces had infiltrated the rear of the Armenian army to wreak havoc, killing the commander of the Armenian army and preventing a possible chemical weapons attack plan.

Before the ground campaign was launched, the Chinese Emperor successfully carried out the campaign deception, through the cooperation of the special forces and the Turkish army, causing the Armenian army to miscalculate, thinking that the Chinese Emperor ** would attack them from Turkish territory, so he built fortifications and stationed heavy troops on the eastern border of Asia and Turkey, but the Chinese Emperor ** bypassed Turkey, and then turned back to the southwest after advancing 150 kilometers north from the Caspian coast through the Bos Empire, and went straight to the rear of the main Armenian First Army.

The 33rd Armored Division of the Chinese Empire in Kuwait, relying on the high-speed maneuverability of the armored three musketeers, suddenly appeared in the rear of the First Army of the Armenian Army, causing confusion among the enemy forces. However, the Armenian army quickly adjusted its deployment and intercepted the Chinese emperor**. However, the Armenian army did not know the combat effectiveness of the Chinese Emperor, let alone how strong the combat effectiveness of the armored divisions of the Chinese Emperor ** was.

As a result, the Armenian Third Army had not yet arrived to deploy in the flanks and rear. On the way, he was crushed by the 77th Tank Regiment, which rushed out of the waist. The Imperial Chinese Army's W16 wheeled infantry combat vehicle's high-speed maneuverability, combined with the large-caliber M2 heavy machine gun above, carried out a massacre against the Armenian army, which was mainly infantry. In just 20 minutes, more than half of the more than 50,000 men of the Armenian Third Army were killed or wounded. One army was simply defeated by a chariot regiment of the Chinese Empire, and was routed all the way, disrupting the tactical deployment of the entire Armenian First Army. Subsequently, the units of the 33rd Armored Division of the Chinese Emperor quickly interspersed with detours, and after a day and a night of fighting, they defeated the entire Armenian First Army.

The strong combat effectiveness of the Chinese emperor caused a panic in Armenia, and the Armenian military was forced to abandon a number of strategic points and rapidly shrink its forces.

The Turkish Grand National Assembly quickly devised a strategy to cooperate with the Chinese Emperor ** to regain lost territory. The General Assembly appoints Qassem? Karabaykir was the commander of the Eastern Front. And ordered a counteroffensive. Qassem? As early as early 1919, General Karabaykir was transferred by Kemal to Erzurum as commander of the 15th Army, where he was also tasked with expanding the army, collecting weapons, and propagating the idea of resistance to the enemy. Therefore, when the Loya Jirga Zhengfu decided to counterattack Armenia, the Turkish army already had considerable strength on the Eastern Front.

In the early morning of September 28, 1920, the Turkish army began a counteroffensive with the help of the great victory of the Chinese Emperor, and soon occupied Salkammes, and then broke through the Armenian defense line between Salkammesh and Laraoglu.

October 28ri. The Turks attacked again, thwarted the Armenian resistance, and captured the city of Kars two days later. At the same time, the ** armored division of the Chinese Emperor had already leveled the city of Gurum. The 30,000 Armenian defenders in the city surrendered without a fight, apparently frightened.

So far. The expansion plans of the Armenian Daknash were completely shattered and had to sue for peace with the Turkish army.

The Chinese Emperor's goal of rescuing Turkey and showing off its force has been achieved. Hence the agreement to negotiate.

After negotiations between China, Turkey and Asia, the Gurum Agreement was signed on December 3, and Turkey recovered Kars and its vicinity, which had been transferred to the Russians by the Berlin Treaty of 1878. Under the intervention of the Chinese Empire, the Transcaucasian Alliance promised not to join the Soviet Union, and at the same time handed over Ardahan, Artvin, Batumi and other places in Georgia to the Chinese Emperor ** for temporary trusteeship, so that the Chinese Emperor ** actually controlled the Baku oil area, pinched the life gate of the Transcaucasian Alliance, and made it obediently obey the will of the Chinese Empire. However, shortly after the signing of the agreement, the Chinese Empire reached an agreement with Turkey, in which Turkey renounced its claim to Kuwait and formally ceded it to the Chinese Empire, and the Iraqi zone was changed from the sphere of influence of the Chinese Empire to a concession area, and in return, the Chinese Empire transferred the Georgian cities of Ardahan, Artvin, Batumi and other places to Turkish jurisdiction, so that Turkey effectively controlled the Baku oil area.

For Turkey, this deal is very good and very happy. But for the Chinese Empire, it is also a link in Wang Chenhao's global strategic layout. The Chinese Empire handed over Ardahan, Artvin, Batumi and other places to Turkey, which is equivalent to making Turkey have territorial disputes with the Transcaucasian Union in the future, and after the division of the Transcaucasia, the Republic of Georgia will have to make trouble with Turkey, so that Turkey's surroundings will not be peaceful, and it will have to ask the Chinese Empire for help, and it is self-evident that the Chinese Empire will influence Turkish politics after the Chinese Empire, and Turkey will become a bridgehead used by the Chinese Empire to interfere in the affairs of the Balkans and the Soviet Union.

The victory on the Eastern Front was the result of the armed intervention of the Chinese Emperor, but for the Turkish Grand National Assembly Zhengfu, it was the first victory in the national liberation struggle, which not only greatly increased the prestige of the Ankara regime, but also allowed Zhengfu to send a part of the army to reinforce the Western Front and the Southern Front, which played a very large role in resisting the attack of the Greek army in the future.

The contrast between the war situation on the eastern and western fronts, and the huge difference in strength between the Turkish army and the Chinese emperor, prompted Kemal to make up his mind to rebuild a regular national army. And this is exactly the desired result of the Chinese Empire, and soon the Turkish Parliament passed an arms purchase plan totaling 200 million dragon coins to purchase aircraft, chariots, cannons, machine guns and other advanced weapons and equipment from the Chinese Empire to arm the Turkish army, learn from the Chinese Emperor, and carry out mechanization reform
