Chapter XXVII. Churchill

Kolchak, who is a scum of political ability, is making the last insistence with his loyalty to the country and the nation. With this kind of persistence, it is difficult to see the hope of victory, but he will hold on until the end of the battle. In fact, Kolchak had many opportunities to escape, but he gave up, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Kolchak, who thought he was on the side of justice and the Russian people, would not give up.

About Kolchak, let the Russians evaluate it themselves! It is difficult for outsiders to understand his absolute paranoia about national and national loyalty, and Kolchak, who is parallel to history, finally died at the hands of his compatriots. The Russian Revolution was utterly mad and brutal in the extermination of its compatriots. On the other hand, the White Russian army led by Kolchak was not bad at all when it came to killing dissidents.

It is probably for this reason that Fang Jianxiong made a series of arrangements to help Kolchak persist as much as possible. Gold is also important, of course, and more importantly, the longer Kolchak keeps zài, the better it will be for China.

After forty days of sailing, Fang Jianxiong and his escort fleet finally appeared in the English Channel. At this time, the size of the escort fleet was already very different from before the departure. The first stop of Fang Jianxiong's visit was the United States, but when the visiting Wèn fleet crossed the Strait of Malacca, two British light cruisers had already followed the group, and when they passed through the Suez Canal, they were escorted by two battle cruisers.

Although Fang Jianxiong is not the president, Western countries are well aware of the true status of the chairman of the Civil Committee. In order to win over Fang Jianxiong, who has always been pro-American, the British government tried its best to give face to this dictator. The fleet was to do a day's rest in Portsmouth while rounding with five old warships procured from the British.

The government of the Republic of China is willing to purchase warships that Britain has replaced, which in the eyes of the British Prime Minister. This is a signal from Fang Jianxiong. Although this dictator is pro-American, a qualified leader of a major country will not sacrifice national interests because of personal feelings. In the end, it is not for the sake of national interests, and you want to meet Germany on the battlefield? Today's number one in the world is still the British Empire, and Fang Jianxiong's gesture of goodwill is undoubtedly a gesture of respect.

The Chinese market is very important to the British Empire, so it is necessary to seize this opportunity to improve or deepen Sino-British relations and avoid China and the United States getting too close. In the future, it will be difficult for China and the United States to join forces. When the Americans put forward the 14 Points, the British Empire saw clearly the nature of American imperialism.

A simple welcome ceremony was held in the harbor, and the British government built a trestle bridge so that Fang Jianxiong could walk directly from the battleship. British Prime Minister George personally arrived from London. The two met individually in a temporary hotel. Because Fang Jianxiong understands English, the two of them even save translation.

After the two-hour talks, George Shine did not hold any press conference because it was an unofficial visit, and the details of the conversation were not announced.

After George left, an uninvited guest came to the hotel. British War Secretary Winston Churchill. Fat, with a cigar in his hand, this is probably the historical impression that Churchill left on Fang Jianxiong.

When he walked in the door, a hawk-like look looked at him, and Fang Jianxiong sighed slightly in his heart. The famous strongman in history is really not in vain. Churchill is a guy who has never been liked in British politics, and he likes to cause trouble. This gentleman has extreme hatred. When it comes to interfering in Soviet Russia, he screams the loudest.

"You're as young as the legend says! It's unbelievable! Churchill threw out these words as he shook hands. Fang Jianxiong smiled and nodded, looking very sincere: "I have heard of the name for a long time!" Mr. Churchill. Your collection of speeches, "The Power of the People", is a wonderful book that I have had the pleasure of reading. ”

Churchill was obviously slightly surprised, nodded reservedly and implicitly: "I really didn't expect that Your Excellency had read the clumsy work." Churchill would never have thought that Fang Jianxiong knew very well what the Englishman in front of him would do in the future.

This is a very good old guy! Anything crazy can be done in the interests of the British Empire. This is Fang Jianxiong's definition of Churchill, which should still be very accurate.

After taking his seat, Churchill did not say a word politely, and immediately spoke: "Your Excellency, the civil war in Russia is at a critical moment, and the representatives of the free world in Russia are suffering defeat. ”

Fang Jianxiong smiled and didn't say a word, just looked at the other side with deep eyes, with a slightly excited expression with a little hideous expression. Churchill knew what Fang Jianxiong meant, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Damn, I know I'm not the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, just now I was just Jianyi." ”

"Mr. Churchill, I am confident that you will become Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in the future. There is a quality in you that is like a fighter who never tires. I don't say this to flatter you, but to mean it. Fang Jianxiong paused as he spoke, looked at Churchill with a stunned face, felt slightly proud, and secretly said Lao Tzu opened the plug-in, stupid, right?

Without waiting for Churchill to speak, Fang Jianxiong continued to smile: "Let's get down to business, let's talk about Russia." At present, on the coast of the Far East, there are Japanese and Americans, with a combined strength of nearly 100,000 troops. To tell you the truth, I don't have the slightest trust in the Japanese. I don't like to show my back to someone who threatens me. ”

Churchill didn't expect this answer, and when he was still phrasing in his head, and was about to persuade Fang Jianxiong, Fang Dashuai said again: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, China sent troops to help Kolchak, suppose we defeated the attack of the Red Army in Novosibirsk." So excuse me, where to hit is a head. There are 1.5 million Wehrmacht, and even if all of them are invested in Russia, how many soldiers per square kilometer of huge Russia are? There is another question, even if I do not consider the issue of military spending, then how can I solve the problem of logistical supply of the army under the harsh weather and geographical environment of Siberia, which is thousands of miles away from the Far East to Moscow? ”

Churchill understood in his heart at this time that the young man opposite was not easy to fool at all, and he was a strong-willed man. Never swayed by other people's opinions, hidden beneath the youthful appearance is a mature and wise heart.

"So, something must be done, right? Is it just to watch the defeat of the free world in Russia? Churchill was a little frustrated, and the defeat of the White Russian army, led by Kolchak and Denikin, which received a lot of military aid, came unexpectedly quickly in the Russian Civil War. Seeing that it was about to hit Moscow, it was suddenly overturned. And then there was constant bad news, Ufa on the Eastern Front was lost, Omsk was lost, and the Southern Front was also defeated again and again.

"The Chinese government has decided to officially join the League of Nations!" Fang Jianxiong suddenly tilted the building, and Churchill's eyes widened suddenly. The League of Nations was initiated by US President Wilson, but now there is a growing opposition to joining the League in the United States. The most mainstream view in the United States is that the United States has been exploited and the blood shed for Europe has been wasted.

Churchill quickly figured out that this should be the result of a conversation between Prime Minister George and Fang Jianxiong, and that the upcoming League of Nations would be improvised without the United States, and it would be a shame to add one more China. The League of Nations must have Britain and France at its core, and this will not waver. George feared that Fang Jianxiong would be bribed by Wilson when he visited the United States, and boycotted the League of Nations.

"It seems that Your Excellency's trip to the United States may not be so pleasant." Churchill made a joke, Fang Jianxiong smiled slightly, and said without worrying at all: "I am a soldier, not in politics!" "This outspoken fellow! Talking nonsense with your eyes open is already in full swing.

"If the White Russian government is eliminated, China will directly face the threat of Red Russia." Churchill was not willing to give up his efforts and make a final attempt. Fang Jianxiong shook his head with a smile and said, "If you only think about doing something now, it will be too late." I had already prepared for Kolchak a corps of two divisions, all of which were recruited by Russians in northeastern China and the Far East. Equipped with equipment imitating the Wehrmacht, there are 100,000 new recruits in Irkutsk, ready to be shipped at any time. I will not let the Red regime get any better, of course I will not admit what I told Your Excellency after I get out. I am a peace-loving person! ”

Churchill finally saw clearly that this guy's shamelessness was not under him in the slightest. To be able to carry forward the spirit of shamelessness to this point, it is no wonder that he can become a dictator who dominates China's politics. And this guy is still a dictator hiding behind the scenes, and on the surface, China is a democratic regime.

In any case, Fang Jianxiong still gave Churchill a surprise. Of course, there are also very uncomfortable places, such as the wording of "China's Northeast and Far East" in the words just now. Saying so surely, it is natural to rely on the Far East. This is a matter for the Russians, and Churchill does not want to worry about it. The problem is that in the Far East it is not only the Chinese, but also the Japanese.

Don't look at the fact that China and Japan have just made a Yokohama treaty, in fact, countries have not yet turned their faces when they say they will turn their faces, and they will start wars when they say that they will start wars. In the Russo-Japanese War at the beginning, didn't the Japanese just go to war without declaring it? By the way, the First Sino-Japanese War was also an undeclared war.

Churchill still knows too little, if history is not messed up by Fang Jianxiong, there would still be a war between China and Japan! But it will be more than ten years.

Churchill is finally gone, and there is nothing to be gained or gained. There was not much friendship between the two, and on the way back, Churchill thought that the young man might be a good rival. Fang Jianxiong was thinking, this old thing is really a good opponent, do you want to play some tricks to harm him?
