Chapter 844: The McMahon Line (Ninth Update)

PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

In the vast territory of the empire, the Plateau Province has always been the most special existence. The altitude here is too high, and altitude sickness is very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary people to adapt. In addition, the geographical conditions are harsh, and the traffic conditions are also very bad. Therefore, the imperial government's control over the plateau has always been very weak.

After the establishment of the empire, it began to work hard to strengthen its control over the highland provinces. However, before the construction of roads and railways to the plateau, the empire's control of the plateau was very limited. Until a few years ago, the roads from Bashu Province and Caiyun Province to Plateau Province were built one after another, and the empire's control over Plateau Province was strengthened. Prior to this, the Empire had more of a nominal control over the Plateau Province. This gives a lot of people the opportunity to exploit the loopholes. For example, the British next to the plateau.

There are also some people with ulterior motives in Plateau Province who want to split Plateau Province from the Empire. However, in the face of an increasingly powerful empire, their actions are tantamount to seeking death. In such a situation, they hoped to be able to get the support of the British. In this way, they will also have a chance. It's a pity that with the formation of the Imperial Army's mountain brigades one after another, since a few years ago, the Imperial Army has entered the plateau one after another and completely controlled here. Those who dared to resist were all executed on charges of splitting the country. The empire's control of the plateau is also very thorough. The government and military orders on the plateau have been unified.

However, before the empire took control of the plateau, the local government colluded with the British and signed those secret agreements, the empire knew very little. Even Wu Haoxuan. This is also overlooked.

After Admiral Chen Xudong mentioned this issue, Wu Haoxuan's mind immediately flashed the word "McMahon Line".

McMahon is a man's name, his full name is William Henry McMahon. Born in 1862 as the son of a lieutenant general, he was appointed a lieutenant in the Indian Army in 1880 and spent most of his early career on the northwestern frontier of India. In June 1894. As British Commissioner, he demarcated the borders of Afghanistan and Balochistan, and in May 1904 he was an arbitrator on the border between Persia and Afghanistan. He was knighted in 1906 and promoted to lieutenant colonel. He later served as Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs in the colonial government of British India.

In the year 4611 of the Yellow Emperor, at the "Simla Conference" planned by the British and attended by secret representatives of the British and Plateau provinces in Shimla, India, Henry McMahon, the foreign minister of the British colonial government of India, went behind the back of the Chinese government and threatened to lure the representative of the local government of the plateau, Xia Za, to insert the so-called "Indo-Tibetan dividing line" unilaterally drawn by Britain and India into the exchange of letters map in the form of a secret exchange of letters. The "Simla Treaty" was signed privately, and at the same time the notorious "McMahon Line" was concocted. The northeastern boundary of British India, which was demarcated by this line, which had long belonged to China, was transferred to British India, and the northeastern boundary of British India was advanced northward from the junction of the mountain plains at the southern foot of the Himalayas (i.e., the traditional customary line) to the Himalayan ridge (or even north), compressing the area of the Chinese plateau that had traditionally been effectively administered by more than 100 kilometers to the north.

When General Chen Xudong finished speaking, Emperor Wu Haoxuan's face was already very ugly. Since its founding, the empire has been expanding outward. Now the territory of the empire has exceeded 20 million square kilometers. A north-to-Arctic Ocean was formed. To the south to the islands of the East Indies and to the east to the islands of Oceania in the Pacific Ocean. A huge country west to the Black Sea. The more than 90,000 square kilometers of territory secretly occupied by the British were nothing compared to the vast territory of the empire. However, this despicable act of the British is undoubtedly a provocation to the Empire, which is absolutely unacceptable to the Empire.

"Your Majesty. This matter had to be negotiated with the British. We have to get the British to give us an account. Otherwise, the Empire will not rest on its laurels. Even if it was a war with the British, the British would have to pay for it. Imperial Prime Minister Yang Du said.

The attitude of the Imperial Cabinet on this issue is undoubtedly also very tough. Especially now that the empire is in full swing. It is even more intolerable for other countries to provoke the empire.

"Your Majesty. Your Excellency Prime Minister is right. Now we and the British have not signed an agreement to end the conflict. If the British don't give us this account, then we won't sign an agreement with them. Admiral Chen Xudong also said.

The Chinese Empire now undoubtedly has an absolute advantage, and it is still famous. If the British are not willing to give an account to the Empire, then the Empire can make them pay a much heavier price.

"Hmmm! Let's get in touch with Mr. Tang. Let him solemnly raise this question with the British. They must give an account to the Empire. The 90,000 square kilometers of territory must be returned to the empire. Moreover, those who planned this incident must be severely punished. Otherwise, the Empire will not rest on its laurels. Wu Haoxuan said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Du and Chen Xudong received the order.

After the two left, more memories of the 'McMahon Line' also poured into Wu Haoxuan's mind. In another time and space, the McMahon Line was drawn by the British at the Trilateral Conference of China, the Plateau, and the British in India. It's just that it was the Beiyang government that ruled China at that time. The British, behind the backs of the Beiyang government, colluded with the representatives of the plateau to force them to cede those territories to India. Although, the Beiyang government has never been formed. However, that territory of up to 90,000 square kilometers has always been controlled by the Indian Asan. Even later, in the Sino-Indian War, our country defeated India's Asan, but due to many objective factors, it was not able to recover that territory. Instead, the Indian Asan had to set up a state of Assam there to rule over this territory. In order to rise peacefully, our country has no choice but to let India run rampant.

You know, that territory can be regarded as the most elite area of the entire plateau.

In later generations, there were three main sections of disputed territories between China and India, namely the eastern, middle and western fronts. The disputed territory on the Eastern Front is 90,000 square kilometers of territory, all of which is occupied by India. The Line of Actual Control between China and India is the illegal "McMahon Line". The map of India has taken it as its official, legal border, and in 1*9*8*7 it was declared "Arunachal Pradesh". The disputed territory of the median line is 2,100 square kilometers, divided into four places, all of which are occupied by India. The disputed territory on the Western Front is 33,000 square kilometers, mainly in the A*Ke Sai*Qin region of China. India occupies one part of Barigas, and the rest is in Chinese hands.

"This time, the Indian Ahsan still wants to occupy those territories of the empire, which is completely impossible. The British, they must give an account to the Empire. Otherwise, don't blame the empire for being unkind. Wu Haoxuan thought secretly.

The current empire is no more than China in another time and space, which is at the mercy of the great powers. In this time and space, if the empire doesn't slaughter them, they all have to burn high incense.

On the morning of May 30, 4620 A.D., after the foreign ministers of China and Britain reached an agreement in negotiations, today was the day for the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conflict. The British finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the conflict with the Chinese Empire can be ended because of this, then the heart that they have been hanging on will be able to be put back in their stomachs.

Of course, the heavy loss paid this time made them hate it to death. It's just that now is the time when the empire is strong. Even if the British wanted to get back on the field, it was impossible. Unless in a future war, the Chinese Empire is defeated. In this case, they may still have the opportunity to retaliate against the Chinese Empire.

For the British, though, this opportunity is not out of the question. Don't forget, the Japanese they supported were frantically building 'Yamato-class' battleships and 'Amagi-class' battlecruisers. Soon, the Chinese Navy will face a formidable adversary. When both the Chinese Navy and the Japanese Navy are defeated, the Americans will definitely take the opportunity to fall into the ground. And Britain will not let go of that opportunity. At that time, Britain will be able to take revenge and spit out all the benefits lost today to the Chinese Empire. Even, there is a little more to pay as interest.

At the signing ceremony, Count Curzon and Hughes arrived first, and the two talked and laughed, apparently having a good conversation. In order to contain the Chinese Empire, Britain and the United States, two countries that did not deal with each other very much, have now come together completely.

Perhaps, this is the price of the Chinese Empire after defeating the British. However, even if the Chinese Empire is given another chance to choose. The Chinese Empire will do the same. After all, the interests of the Reich could never be bullied by any British.

The signing ceremony was scheduled for 10 a.m. Imperial Foreign Minister Tang Shaoyi didn't arrive until 9:50, which made both Count Curzon and Hughes feel a little tired. However, at this point, the Memorandum of Understanding on the Conflict is about to be signed, and they do not want to get into trouble. However, this signing ceremony is destined to be impossible to continue. Because, Tang Shaoyi's face has never been very good-looking.

After Count Curzon saw Tang Shaoyi's face, he suddenly secretly screamed in his heart, and at the same time effectively worried about whether there was something wrong.

"Your Excellency the Foreign Secretary, you have a strong sense of time, and the signing ceremony is about to begin. Let's sign the Memorandum of Understanding on Conflict as soon as possible3. Count Curzon said with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry, I think I can't sign this Memorandum of Understanding on Conflict for the time being." Tang Shaoyi said coldly.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
