In the eighth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the Chinese National Defense Corps in Tibet mobilized 30,000 troops to launch an attack on Nepal, and it took a total of 14 days for the army of the Kingdom of Nepal to completely collapse, and there were less than 2,000 defenders left in the capital Kathmandu, and the vanguard of the Tibetan Corps was only 20 kilometers away from Kathmandu!

The Rana family is in trouble, whether it is the current boss Chandra, or many descendants, close branches, and collateral clansmen of the Rana family, or the Kathmandu magnates who have always been attached to the Rana family in Nepal, they are all panicked.

As early as five days ago, a descendant of the Rana family ran away to India, and it was the Rana family itself that opened this opening, and in just five days, the magnates in the entire Kathmandu were reduced by a quarter.

The departure of these high-level elites directly caused the Nepalese army in Kathmandu to completely lose its fighting spirit, and the army of more than 3,000 people was also lost.

Now, the Chinese army is stopped 20 kilometers away, not because they don't have the strength to fight it, but because they don't want to fight Kathmandu anymore. The outcome of the war is already very clear, and it is a complete waste to continue fighting!

Today, most of the only Nepalese soldiers in Kathmandu are gathered at the entrance of the prime minister's official residence in the city, where the soldiers are armed with guns and military uniforms, and all idle people are strictly forbidden to approach. The bayonet shone silver in the sunlight, dazzling.

None of these soldiers were very tall, but stocky. The waist pole is straight, and they all look ahead without squinting, and at a glance, they know that they are all specially cultivated elite soldiers. But. Even this group of elite soldiers, the eyebrows that now reveal are completely deep sadness. There is not a trace of confidence in victory, or the awe-inspiring hope of fighting to the end.

These Nepal Army. It is the most elite army in the entire kingdom of Nepal, and their training and foster care are completely based on the Gurkha battalion in the British army, so this army of 5,000 people is the heart and soul of the Rana family, and it is the elite division under their direct control. The Rana family relied on this army to intimidate the Shah royal family in Kathmandu and the noble ministers of the royal family, and relied on this army to intimidate the entire kingdom army and places, and then used money and power to control the entire Nepalese royal army.

In the confrontation with the Chinese National Defense Forces, four of the five battalions sent to the battlefield by the Rana family were destroyed. The rest of the army ran a little more because of the chaos of recent days, and now there were only fifteen or six hundred men left. All concentrated in the Prime Minister's residence, more than 3,000 pairs of eyes witnessed the fall of the Rana family, who controlled the Kingdom of Nepal for more than half a century.

Chandra was leaving. He has no intention of dealing with the royal family now, as well as the families who curse him with the royal family, and if he fails, he will fail. He would go to New Delhi and then to Mumbai, take a boat to London, and live the life of a rich man for the rest of his life. Politics will be far away from him in the rest of his life.

Chandra knew that there must be some people in the Rana family who were not willing to fail. They will actively or passively become obedient puppets in the hands of the British, and become a tool for the British to intervene in Nepal and cause trouble for the Chinese, but they certainly do not include himself.

Because it's not doomed to success!

The strength of the Chinese on land is too strong. The Tibetan Corps alone has more than 100,000 troops. The entire Tibetan area has a population of 2.5 million, of which 70% are Han Chinese, and the social foundation is very solid.

And what about Nepal? There are just over 3 million people in Nepal as a whole. Lack of industry. Especially in the military industry, the hearts of the people are not unified. The noble ministers of the royal family and the princely family must have been happy to see the Rana family fall. The Chinese can even threaten Nepal from Afghanistan, with two dependent states of Bhutan and Sikkim south of the Himalayas.

Unless the British go to war with China at any cost. Otherwise, there is not the slightest possibility of the existence of the Rana family. Chandra was a smart man, so today he left quietly. The Chinese have been parked twenty kilometers away, aren't they also waiting for themselves to leave quietly?

The army that Chandra still controlled would always protect him and his family and property until they reached the edge of India, where the British army would respond, and then the fifteen or six hundred men would be disbanded on the spot, and Chandra would reward each of them with a fortune.

The servants in Chandra's service were driving carts and horses full of goods, carrying large and small chests and palanquins, out of the mansion, which records the past glory of the Rana family, and headed south under the protection of the army.

Chandra was accompanied by a group of British soldiers, guards at the British Embassy in Kathmandu, who would evacuate the city of Kathmandu with the Rana family. If you raise the line of sight here a hundred meters, you can clearly see the city of Kathmandu at this moment, in addition to the Rana family, there are dozens of large and small people converging towards the south of the city, including the British embassy staff.

The group of people behind Chandra had already let out a sigh that was close to a whimper, they were the great nobles and ministers of the pro-Rana family in the Kingdom of Nepal, several sons of Chandra himself, and several young and vigorous youths all had a straight face, and their bodies were covered in frost.

No one wants to give up their interests in vain, how can the son of a mere rich man be compared to the prime minister who dominates a country? Four of Chandra's sons shouted for resolute resistance, and these four sons and their Lao Tzu, unlike the old nobles and ministers who were already completely intimidated by the Chinese Defense Forces, preferred to choose to fight to the death!

As early as the day of the war, Chandra's eldest son, Pema, even asked Chandra to order a nationwide conscription of 300,000 troops. But in a country like the Kingdom of Nepal, the Rana family has to constantly compromise with the royal family, nobles, and ministers in order to maintain their dominance.

In the midst of the quarrel, the 300,000-strong army was easily refuted. Then, before Pema could act again, the Nepalese army was completely defeated on the battlefield. A cowardly and cowardly aristocracy only wanted to flee quickly, and had no determination to die with the country at all. Pema is ten thousand who look down on these nobles and ministers with sad faces.

Now that I know that I am crying and mourning, how can everyone really oppose the increase of troops that day?

Not enough for military spending?

Now every family is running away. See how much pounds can a lost house and land be worth? Are you still distressed at this time?

Pema has decided to continue hugging the British's thighs. He knows very well that he relies on his own strength. Relying on Nepal's strength, it is impossible for them to resist China. The latter is so powerful that it only takes a pinky finger from the depths to crush the entire kingdom of Nepal into powder! The only way is to go to India and set up a government-in-exile, announce the abolition of the Shah's royal family, proclaim himself the president of the Nepalese government, embrace the thick legs of the British Empire, and perhaps one day turn the book around.

Of course, he can't personally stand on the front line to lead the war of resistance, he is the most authentic heir of the Rana family. There must not be the slightest danger to life. But that's no problem, I'm not on the front line, and my brother is on the front line, isn't it? In this way, of course, the influence will be weakened, but compared with the danger of the first line, Pema also thinks that it is okay.

He still has a lot of money, Chandra has decided to go to Europe, and Pema will ask his father for a large amount of property, so he should divide the inheritance in advance. Chandra has been preparing for the moment when he will step down from power since he ascended to the throne as prime minister of the Rana family. All the large sums of property he had looted over the years had been deposited in the Bank of England. That's a million-pound fortune!

Pema knows very well how many poor people there are in Nepal, and for ten pounds, you can buy a life that is not afraid of death. Unless the Chinese can quickly reverse the face of poverty in Nepal, Pema has a way to make trouble for them. The British Empire will see its own efforts and usefulness. This is their own value, this is their own basis for gaining political meaning under the British!

The more Pema thought about it, the more confident she became, and she looked at the group of people around her father with contempt. It's a bunch of cowards! Then he glanced at the three brothers next to him with an inexplicable gaze......

Just as Chandra's eldest son was thinking in his heart, he heard a commotion outside. A crack opened in the middle of the neatly lined up soldiers. A Nepalese generalist dressed in Western clothes came running profusely. The man ran to Chandra and knelt on the ground. Loudly reported:

"Your Excellency, Minister Harrison of the British Empire has boarded the train, and he asks His Majesty Prime Minister to get on the train as soon as possible."

Chandra's embarrassed face suddenly froze, "Your Excellency the Minister is urging so urgently, but there is a change?" "The Chinese have always stopped there.

"His Majesty and Queen have decided to visit India from London this month. His Excellency the Governor General [Charles. Harding asked the adults to hurry to New Delhi. ”

It didn't take long to get to India by sea from London, but Chandra's plan was definitely going to be broken. It was impossible for him to leave the most noble couple of the British Empire without seeing them, and board a ship for Europe himself.

Chandra's brow furrowed unconsciously, and the eyes of the four Pema brothers instantly lit up.

……

At this time in Beijing, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also received a telegram from the Office of the European Union. King George V and the Empress are going to visit India at this sensitive time!

The news was quickly fed back to the Cabinet and the Royal Palace by the Foreign Secretary. What is George V going to do? For China, this is a very important thing to understand.

The British Emperor, who succeeded to the throne last year, is not an incompetent man. His accession to the throne coincided with a time of great international and domestic turmoil. Although the rule of the British Empire remained strong, it was not safe in close proximity to the British mainland. The conflict between the Irish and the British was the most troubling issue for George V. The British Empire must not have a civil war at this time, which will contain the military power of the British Empire too much. At the beginning of this year, at the suggestion of George V, representatives of the British government and representatives of Ireland and Northern Ireland, met at Buckingham Palace to try to reach an agreement. Although the meeting was not successful, it created a good start for negotiations.

George V's visit to India at this time must have had close ties with China, the British rule in India was very strong, without China's interference, the mainstream of the cooking movement in India was non-violent 'prayer', that is, to plead with the British with a cooperative attitude to show kindness and give India autonomy! This is a fool's dream in China, and in Emperor Liu's view, it is not even as good as a completely soft 'non-violent non-cooperation movement'. At this time, Gandhi was just a very, very ordinary lawyer in India. He can be described as obscure, and even as a waste. He went to London at the age of 19 to study, and the modern civilization of Europe caused Gandhi to have a deep inferiority complex and fell at its feet, but the stereotypes of Hinduism made him feel at a loss in a new environment. Gandhi finally gave up his blind imitation of Western civilization, adhered to his original religious beliefs and embraced other religious teachings, received an education in British legal thought, and obtained a bar at University College London. After returning to China, he began to practise as a lawyer in Mumbai, but encountered setbacks. The first time I fought a lawsuit for someone, I smashed the pot because of stage fright. Half a year later, he returned home and maintained his lawyer business in his hometown of Ratchkot with the help of his brother and relatives and friends. By now, Gandhi's lawyer's practice has not improved, and his reputation is now as bleak as his life.

India at the moment is a society that doesn't even have a 'waste movement'. Krishna. Gokar was the leader of the Indian National Congress party, a man who had no impression of Liu Xian, and his "non-violent" ideas were at odds with the policy of violent overthrow of British colonial rule advocated by another leader of the Congress party, Tilak, and then the Indians took the initiative to "advocate all forms of struggle against the British colonial authorities, including armed and violent struggle, in order to achieve India's independence." Gangadhar. Tilak kicked out of the Congress party. Nowadays, spontaneous insurrection and rebellion in India are completely unsuccessful, and sporadic armed resistance groups can only carry out terrorist activities, and cannot operate openly in Mumbai, Kolkata, New Delhi and other big cities for a day.

The current Governor-General of India, Inspector General. Harding was a man who was very good at easing the tension between the British colonial government and the Indian nationalists, and he was also a very capable person, and he firmly co-opted Gopal. Krishna. Gokar's kind of people have created a relatively relaxed living space for this kind of people, but for Barr. Gangadhar. Radicals like Tilak hit hard, and Gopal. Krishna. Gokar was sent to prison for six years.

Soon, the cabinet's decision was sent to Xiangshan.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry did not say anything about George V's visit to India, but the Nepal issue would have to be resolved cleanly before he arrived. And if the British have any 'expression', the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also provide all-round support to Sikkim and support Sikkim's land claims to the British......

And if George V had come with goodwill, then it would have been another countermeasure! (To be continued.) )
