The collapse of the British colonial system
Over the past decade or so, in order to realize the plan to shift the core of Britain from Europe to Oceania, the British and Japanese have colluded to frantically purge the indigenous people on the islands of the South Pacific, resulting in the direct death of millions of indigenous people, and the "indirect deaths" of several times this number. China, the Soviet Union, and the United States had long collected a large amount of evidence on this matter, and when the three joined forces to raise their voices and publish the evidence in one go, the British immediately came under great pressure in the international community.
In the first three years of 1955, Lin Han asked New China to "import" a large number of graduates, which was precisely to reserve the "population" before the "independence" movement in Kalimantan. During this period, in addition to sending people to Lanfang on a large scale, New China also provided a large number of weapons to Nanfang. From the new Type 41 semi-automatic rifle, the Type 43 rocket launcher, to the Type 50 light tank (crab) gram that has just begun to be produced -- the reason why it is a light tank (crab) gram is really the rotten paddy field and muddy environment here in Southeast Asia, and any tank (crab) gram weighing more than 20 tons is difficult to move here.
However, the site of the first dominoes that toppled British colonial rule was not in Southeast Asia, but in Egypt.
After the first Middle East war, although the Arab countries ended in a crushing defeat, the beacon of the Arab independence movement was ignited after this fiasco.
Israel's aura of hatred as the villain boss has made more and more Arabs realize that in order to completely eliminate this dangerous adversary, one thing needs to be done: Egypt must be "really" liberated from British control.
Before 1955, although Egypt was nominally an independent country, it was still controlled by the British in domestic and foreign affairs, and controlled the Suez Canal, so it was formally independent. Not really independent. During the first Middle East war, the Egyptian government wanted to declare war on Israel, but did not dare to act under the pressure of the British. Later, as the Christian power in the Sinai Peninsula continued to expand, there were signs of separation, which led to a growing conflict between Egypt and the British.
After the First Middle East War, anti-British forces in Egypt were increasingly supported by domestic and international forces. There is covert financial support from the big financier Saudi Arabia. There was also covert help from the United States and even the Soviet Union, and they took enough dollars and rubles. There were also a large number of "Arab revivalist fighters" who traveled thousands of miles to Egypt.
They learned from what the Israelis had done in the past, and they continued to create all kinds of terrorist activities to make trouble for the British.
Historically, in 1952, the Free Officers led by Nasser overthrew the Farouk dynasty and established the "Revolutionary Steering Committee" to take power.
And this plane. "Teacher" from her father Lin Han's Artoria, from Lin Han learned from Lin Han from the birth to "nip all crises in the bud". As early as 1945, Nasser, who was considered by Artoria to be an "extremely dangerous figure", was quietly killed by agents of the British Intelligence Service. In the years that followed, the British also used various methods to secretly assassinate the backbone of the Free Officer Corps, and with the help of this method, the anti-British forces in Egypt were thrown into chaos for a time.
But assassination alone could not really solve the problem of the Egyptians wanting to rebel against British control. By 1956. The locals were already extremely disgusted with British rule here, in March of that year. A coup d'état by some of the young officers of the Egyptian army easily overthrew the Farouk dynasty, formed a "Revolutionary Council", took power, and nationalized the Suez Canal.
In this revolution, the Soviet Union and the United States joined forces. They all sent agents to help secretly. After the Egypt incident, the British hurriedly mobilized their troops to Egypt to suppress it, and even colluded with Israel to march into Egypt. At the same time, the "backup" plan prepared by Artoria was also activated at this time. "Christian" settlements in the Sinai Peninsula also "staged an uprising", claiming not to recognize the current Egyptian government. Ask for "autonomy".
The Second Middle East War broke out.
As in history, the Egyptian army was defeated on the battlefield in the face of the psychologically prepared British, and the Anglo-Israeli forces took control of all the land on both sides of the Suez Canal.
But at this time, where was it possible for the United States and the Soviet Union, and even China, to allow the British to easily settle the chaos in Egypt?
When the Anglo-Israeli forces raged on Egyptian soil, Soviet troops in Pakistan immediately launched military exercises codenamed "Red Hammer" on the Indian border.
Not only the Soviet Union, but also the Republic of Northern India and New China, which share borders with India and Burma, also sent troops on the border to make frequent military demonstrations against the British. China, the Soviet Union, and India (North) also issued a stern warning to the British government.
Not only the red camp, but even the United States, which is still struggling with the economic crisis, also dispatched its navy to make frequent appearances in the Pacific Ocean at this time, showing its presence, and the US government also declared its opposition to the "aggression" of Britain and Israel against Egypt.
Except for Germany, which had an ambiguous relationship with Britain, issued a statement that was neither soft nor hard, condemning Britain's aggression with words, but did not act excessively, Britain's only ally in the international community at this time was the unreliable Japan. In order to put more pressure on the UK, several forces are even preparing to join forces to impose economic sanctions on the UK.
The fires in Egypt were not extinguished, the crisis in India was renewed, and at this time, the independence movement in Burma, with the covert support of China and the Soviet Union, also took advantage of this period to start attacking.
Soon, several warlord forces in Burma, including the Burmese Communist Party in Burma, issued a statement declaring independence and autonomy from British colonial rule. In India, many forces led by the Congress Party saw the opportunity to launch a "non-violent non-cooperation movement" at this time, calling on local Indians to refuse to serve the British invading army in Egypt and to hold a large-scale nationwide strike movement -- Nehru's campaign was supported by a large amount of money from the Saudi Arabian donor in advance, and the CIA personnel provided funds, so the campaign was huge and lasted longer.
Even in Southeast Asia, the Maya Peninsula, and the Indonesian archipelago, which seemed to be quiet in the past, independence movements have responded with the hints and encouragement of various forces.
"The wall fell down and everyone pushed it" is no longer enough to describe the embarrassment of the British at this time, "rats crossing the street." Everybody shouts and hits" to evaluate them might be more appropriate. Coupled with the "Southeast Asian Genocide" incident, which was revisited and hyped up repeatedly, the predicament faced by the British at this time reminded them of the reappearance of the scene in 1940.
When the new Queen of England (the one who made Charles the crown prince for sixty years) and the then Prime Minister asked Artoria about the time, Artoria also sighed and shook her head:
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister. It's time for us to acknowledge reality. The collapse of the old colonial system is already inevitable! ”
At this time, the British royal family was no longer in London, but in Sydney, Australia, and even many key departments and factories of the British government had moved to Australia.
However, it is not so easy for a country to move. Artoria worked hard for more than ten years, but only partially moved Britain over. Britain at this time. Half-moved, as if hanging in the air, in fact, it was at the weakest time in the country. If we can give her another thirty or forty years, we may be able to accomplish this great cause, but the countries that have long looked down on Britain will not give them this opportunity.
"It's time for us to learn to give up some things in order to keep the others."
At that time, both the Queen and the Prime Minister were in a state of gloom.
But. As an old empire, Britain's politicians are not Juncker's secondary after all. Or the white (crab) idiots of the young Zhuang faction of the Japanese military department, after seeing the situation clearly, they quickly admitted the reality, and then began to act according to the plan that Artoria had reminded them to prepare ten years ago.
In Egypt, the British agreed to a complete withdrawal from Egypt. Leave everything here to the "Egyptian people" themselves. But when they left, they left behind a so-called "Republic of Sinai".
The "state", which was declared a state on the day the British announced the withdrawal of its troops, occupied the entire Sinai Peninsula with the Suez Canal as its boundary, and formed an "iron alliance" with the State of Israel. As Artoria envisioned. In this way, Britain got "half" of the Suez Canal.
Such a split in Egypt is, of course, not satisfactory to the newly formed Egyptian Government and to the Arab world as a whole. Soon after, the Egyptians sunk ships in the Suez Canal and blocked the entire canal. As a result of this action, the Suez Canal was completely rendered useless for the next six years. One of the reactions brought about by this was that the world's maritime industry gained a rare period of prosperity, giving the Americans who had been hit hard by the economic crisis a little respite from the revival of the shipbuilding industry.
After 1956, Myanmar finally declared independence from British rule. It was only at this time that the independent Burma, under the manipulation of the new China, was divided into several pieces according to the principle of "national" self-determination.
The Malay Peninsula was a choke point, and the British did not want to give it up, but at this time, Lin Han had already issued a "war warning" to Altoli through his connections. Although the Republic of Lanfang has only 5 million people, because it is a "country of immigrants" born in a short period of time, the proportion of young and strong people in the country is already quite high, and New China is the backstage. Don't look at the fact that there are only five million people, and if you need it, you can pull out an army of one million people at any time. Coupled with the dense forests here, the British also had a headache at the thought of fighting a terrible battle with Lanfang in the rainforest.
Both the Queen of England and the British Prime Minister knew that the current British Empire could not withstand a large-scale war, and under the joint pressure of the Chinese side and Nanfang, they were extremely reluctant to spit out the territory here.
The British government reached agreements with other countries for a three-year grace period during which the British would gradually give up the Malay region.
Privately, Artoria secretly visited the Republic of Lan Fong in October 1956, where she met with Pontianak and Limhan in their capital, now renamed "New Kunlun", and negotiated an agreement.
Artoria knew what Limhan wanted, he wanted the Natuna Islands, he wanted Singapore, he wanted Brunei, and even ethnic cleansing in East Malaysia.
She told him that she could lobby the British government to help him achieve these strategic goals, but Artoria offered that he guarantee British interests in other parts of the Indonesian archipelago, such as Sumatra, Java, and Sri Lanka in the southern Indian Ocean. She asked Lin Han to make a commitment to prevent New China from using Lanfang as a springboard to continue exporting revolution to the rest of Southeast Asia.
Lin Han has never been a real communist (crab) person, nor is he a social righteous, but an out-and-out Han nationalist and Chinese interests supreme, and in his bones he is actually very envious of the colonial (crab) style of robbery by other countries.
Lin Han agreed to Artoria's request. And said that he would use his own methods to make the "monkeys" of Southeast Asia regret breaking away from the "protection" of the British.
After a series of negotiations, the British announced that they would fully withdraw from the Malay Peninsula and Kalimantan in 1958, giving the people here "the right of independent self-government".
The British retreated on Burma and Southeast Asia in order to get China to work. In 1955, the strength of the new China was already very strong, and even if it was a one-on-one confrontation, the British did not expect to defeat China on land at all - even the Soviet Union at this time was extremely afraid of the increasingly powerful "Chinese brothers" in the east.
The British took the initiative to retreat in these two places in order to concentrate on the layout in India. The Republic of Osari, founded by Ratani, and the future "Republic of South India", were the successors that Artoria had painstakingly managed for many years to leave behind the British colonial powers.
India will definitely fly through the fingers of the British, and this is an unquestionable reality within the British upper echelons. All their energy at this time was ready to leave the most critical and important part of the meat at the same time as it was forced to spit out.
In the Malay Peninsula and East Malaysia, one of the things the British did during the three-year buffer period was to start arming the local Malay forces and sowing contradictions between them and the Chinese.
Chinese exclusion is a "specialty" of Southeast Asia, and in the past few hundred years, it has been a good means for colonizers to divert contradictions. Since Lin Han appeared, in the operation to carve up Dutch Indonesia, the "finger chopping" operation of the "root" troops in Jakarta has long been known to the whole world. As a consequence, most of the Chinese in Southeast Asia worshipped Lin Han after this incident and regarded him as a savior, while those who were not Chinese were regarded as demons.
There is no need for the British to agitate, these are all worried that once the British power withdraws, they will have an impact with the Chinese, and the attitude of China and Lanfang.
So, before withdrawing, the British relied on selling arms to make another vote, and this was also discussed with Lin Han. (To be continued.) )
