Because of the vindictiveness, Rufus. Isaacs ordered the army to march into China, because of his arrogance, he looked down on the Chinese and thought the Chinese were vulnerable.

Of course, Rufus. Isaacs had the highest power in Asia and he dared to do so, and it was because of his toughness that Britain's position in India and South and Southeast Asia was consolidated within two years.

Therefore, Rufus. Isaacs had reason to believe that he could get the results he wanted, except for the 49th Mountain Infantry Regiment, which had been annihilated by sending troops into Chinese Kashmir territory. The troops he sent into China this time can be called India's elite troops, and they are the 1st Regiment of Indian Glory that was expanded by Jet Link, which once invaded China and served as a thug of the Eight-Nation Alliance. In addition to the 1st Regiment of Glory, it also included an infantry battalion composed entirely of British, which entered China with the strength of one regiment and one battalion. Isaacs gave the Chinese face very much.

Although the Indian governor thought that the Chinese would react, he did not expect the Chinese to react so strongly, and the Chinese would directly send a division into the Banhong area, and the two sides confronted each other at the foot of Ban Ban Mountain. The British held the commanding heights at the foot of Banban Mountain, and built a fort on the road, forcing Li Shucheng's troops to stagnate at the foot of Banban Mountain by virtue of the danger of the lofty mountains.

Faced with the Chinese's demand for withdrawal, the British replied disdainfully: "Whether to withdraw or not to withdraw troops is a matter of the above, and our business must not let you pass." ”

One of the Indian officers in the big baotou also proudly pulled his military flag and said: "Did you see it, did you see it?" This flag was planted in Guangzhou and Shanghai in 1840, 1859, 1863, 1900 and 1904 respectively. Nanjing, Beijing, Lhasa. We are your nemesis, poor Chinese! ”

When the interpreter told the soldiers of the 3rd Mountain Division of the Chinese National Defense Force, the soldiers here were furious. They demanded that the British, or the British, the hounds, the Indians, be killed.

Although Li Shucheng, the commander of the 3rd Mountain Division, also very much wanted to give the order to attack, he had not yet received Xiao Yaonan's order, and he did not know whether Xiao Yaonan had gone around to Ban Hong to complete the encirclement of the British, and at the same time, the first shot had not been ordered from above. At this time, the Chinese presidential palace received a secret telegram directly from Li Shucheng, and Wang Maoru sent a telegram to him asking him if there was any difficulty. Are you ready -- Wang Maoru was not overstepping, he was just mobilizing the troops before the war.

After Li Shucheng received the telegram from the president, he was pleasantly surprised, and immediately all the soldiers announced that the president was looking at us at this time, and the 4,600 soldiers were immediately excited, because it turned out that the whole country was paying attention to our every move, and we were representing China. Li Shucheng replied immediately, and we are ready. And reported the information of the opponent to Wang Maoru, saying that this army had invaded China five times, and they were the vanguard of each British invasion of China, and the former Qing Dynasty was repeatedly defeated, but this army got the name of an invincible opponent in Eurasia.

As soon as Wang Maoru heard that he had repaid, he immediately called back and said, "Prepare to fight, once you fight." Erase this force from the face of the earth. ”

Li Shucheng was immediately excited, and read the president's reply directly to the soldiers, who shouted that they must live up to the president's expectations, and their eyes became even more eager for war.

At this time, the "war" on the diplomatic route also officially began, the British ambassador to China, Sir Maclay, categorically rejected China's demand for the withdrawal of troops, as well as the return of the Pianma area and the Mengmao Triangle, and directly sent someone to submit the remaining rent of the Mengmao Triangle, including interest, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that the previous Chinese civil war government was not in charge, and from now on we will pay on time.

Foreign Minister Chen Yi is not a good stubble. He asked with a sneer: "Do you really want to pay it back according to the interest?" ”

"Yes." Mr. Haysen, the second secretary of the British government in China, said proudly.

Chen Yi sneered: "Okay, you come tomorrow, let's calculate the accounts." ”

"Excellent, looking forward to good news from you." Haysom turned around and walked away.

Then Chen Yi reported this time to Wang Maoru and said his plan. After hearing his attention, Wang Maoru laughed and said, "You are worthy of being a governor in Mongolia, you are cunning and cunning." ”

The next day, on behalf of the British government, Hayson went to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to prepare to return the rent of the Mengmao Triangle, and Chen Yi immediately invited out a few accountants, and also held an ancient Chinese abacus, which made Hassen sneer. He took a few Jewish accountants, and he had already calculated the rent and interest, even if the Chinese tricked him, he could cope with it, isn't it just a few hundred silver dollars more, and our British Empire can afford it.

However, Chen Yi's words made Haisen crazy, Chen Yi said: "We Chinese are honest, if you pay rent on time, we will not charge a penny of interest, if you do not pay rent on time, we will calculate according to 3 cents of interest." However, we count it by the days. "A few bookkeepers immediately crackled and calculated, a total of thirteen years, calculated according to a year of 45 silver dollars, that is, 45 times 1.03 4745 square meters (13 years and 4745 days), plus 45 times 1.03 4380 square meters (12 years and 4380 days), plus eleven years, ten years, nine years...... The total calculation is more than 80 trillion silver dollars. Chen Yi said generously, because of the trouble of counting, our Chinese government is very generous, so the leader doesn't want it, you just give us 8 trillion silver dollars.

Haisen was so angry that he vomited blood and said angrily: "Are you guys playing scoundrels? ”

Chen Yi said innocently: "The three-point interest rate is already the lowest interest rate in China, and there is no regulation between us on how the interest is calculated, right?" China is calculated according to the day, so the lease of Chinese land must be calculated according to the interest of China, is this very reasonable? ”

Hazen said angrily: "Fart! You are simply more usurious than usury, more Venetian merchants than Venetian merchants, you are provoking the great British Empire? ”

"Sending troops into our territory without informing our government is the greatness of your Britain?" Chen Yi said coldly, "Then you are so great, so great that your eyes are empty, you are so great, why did you lose the North American colonies?" Why did you let the Americans beat your ass and pee, and knelt in front of the Americans and begged the Americans to protect you during the European war? ”

"It seems that you deliberately provoked this time?" Haysen Road.

Chen Yi said: "It is you who deliberately provoked, I believe that your invasion in the Banhong area, even the British government does not know about it, now that Sino-British trade is becoming more and more vigorous, you have done something to stumble on your business partners, if this matter is known to the returning Prime Minister MacDonald, I don't know how he will react." ”

"Hahaha, then you just wait." Haysom turned around and left.

As soon as the Englishman left, one of the bookkeepers said, "Miscalculated." ”

"What miscalculated?"

"We miscalculated." Mr. Bookkeeper remorsefully said, "Not just 800 billion, but 800 billion billion......

Chen Yi broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart, don't say 80 billion, it is 80 million, and the British will not give out 80,000 silver dollars, and hurriedly comforted the old man and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm afraid that you will calculate too much and scare the British." You say that if you directly scare the British to death, won't this cause a diplomatic conflict? ”

Mr. Bookkeeper immediately regretted it again: "I would have scared him to death if I knew it, and I also became the first Mr. Bookkeeper to be a national hero." ”

Everyone immediately burst into laughter, and this joke reached Wang Maoru's ears, which also made Wang Maoru laugh, saying that the old gentleman was sour but sour, but he was very cute.

Haysom reported the Chinese scoundrel to Sir Maclay, who was furious and found Chen Yi, who still said that China's calculation method is different from yours......

Maclay immediately contacted the Viceroy of India, Rufus. The Earl of Isaacs, who asked him whether the Banhong affair had been approved by the House of Lords of England, Rufus. Isaacs replied with haughty words: "Before I left, King George V told me that I could decide on the first place in Asia. ”

Sir Maclay was depressed, he was only a baron, he was an earl, and it seemed that he was nothing more than this in the eyes of others, but the interests of the British Empire had to be safeguarded, and he was very depressed. At the same time, Sir Maccre knew very well that the man who was now in charge of Britain was Labour leader MacDonald.

At this time, Britain had not yet recovered economically due to the end of the European war, and at the same time was affected by the Soviet revolutionary upsurge, the workers' power gradually increased, and the power of the Labour Party in the House of Commons also gradually increased. Macdonald also took the opportunity to become the left-wing leader of the Labour Party, gaining the support of radical workers, who claimed to make the British economy real and improve the treatment of workers. In the midst of the ongoing upsurge of the labour movement, Macdonald, a member of the House of Commons, was elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the beginning of the year, almost at the same time as Wang Maoru became president, and he also became the first Prime Minister of the Labour Party.

Sir Maclay, when he learned of Macdonald's background, was immediately disappointed in him, a speculator, a speculator through and through, and a whip who was only concerned with his own constituents and not on the country. He doesn't think of the haughty Rufus. The Earl of Isaacs would report to Prime Minister MacDonald, who was born from the Labour Party and was an illegitimate child.

This sucks, Rufus. Isaacs made his own decisions, and he represented the interests of the British Empire, which was a headache for the British ambassador to China, Sir Maclay. Subsequently, Maclae reported to the British government the British army's temptation of China, which roughly means that you can not afford to offend anyone in this matter...... The British government called back with one line: give it a try.

Maclay knows what the domestic government means, and they also want to test China's bottom line.
