Chapter 1502: Bow Your Head and Beg for Peace!
Sir Parti Vasari, the British Viceroy in India, was not unaware of what was happening in New Delhi, but there was nothing he could do to stop it, and he knew that even in front of his eyes, these high-ranking officials, their families and property, had been sent out of New Delhi. ~~(Free Novel Hand Hit Network)~~[Find novel materials]
Governor Pajwasali sighed in his heart, "It's not that I don't want to defend New Delhi, but when I go to recruit soldiers there, there are weapons and equipment, including guns and artillery provided by the Americans free of charge, and almost all the armory is piled up, but what about people?" ”
This is the saddest thing about Governor Pajwasari, when it comes to the end, as a high-ranking British official in India, he is respectful and commanding, but when it comes to the critical moment, he thinks that he will flee for his life first, and the governor has also tried to organize a militia dominated by the British, armed, at least, able to resist the squadron for a while.
But what made him so disappointed was that none of the high-ranking officials of the Governor's Mansion responded positively, but instead transferred their relatives after hearing about their own proposals.
And those British compatriots, not only did not respond, but ran faster than rabbits, through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of the living room of the Governor's Palace, on the streets of New Delhi, from time to time a string of cars speeding by, and in the cars were sitting their own compatriots, Governor Pajwasali's heart was dripping blood, and there was a feeling of discouragement.
The Governor remembered this number, the British in New Delhi, there were as many as 70,000 people, and it was not a problem to organize an armed militia of about 20,000 people, and in Aligarh and Agra, to fight with the Chinese. Cover the evacuation of the expatriates in New Delhi, but now, they all ran overnight, and. Running in a panic and unorganized, the Governor became a loner, which made His Excellency the Governor even more chilled.
On the night of May 24, in London, England, Prime Minister Winston? In the basement of Churchill's official residence, in Churchill's office, the lights were shining brightly, on the desk in front of Churchill. There were several telegrams and a thick envelope.
Telegrams, all urgent telegrams from India, reported. All bad news, the Indian army special hún fleet was completely annihilated, and the Sri Lanka island garrison was surrounded by Tang Qiuli's troops in Colombo. It's a matter of time before the whole army is destroyed.
Tang Qiuli's troops of more than a dozen divisions successively occupied Lucknow, Allahbad, Jabulpur, Purpur, Rum, Golgompour, and other places in inland India, and the British Empire's military strength in India was basically lost. Not anymore, to be exact.
Viceroy of India Pajvasari. A series of more than a dozen telegrams demanded peace talks with Tang Qiuli. The troops of the separate division, already bī close to New Delhi, that is, the fall of New Delhi, is tomorrow.
In the conference room next door, all the cabinet members and senior generals of the General Staff were urgently summoned, and they were waiting for themselves to preside over the meeting, but they had to sort out a clue first, and the Chinese Tang Qiuli peace talks, Churchill absolutely did not want to, and now the peace talks are tantamount to being shot by Tang Qiuli, and the negotiations under the head of the head are completely and thoroughly an alliance under the city.
But what if you don't negotiate? Hit? It has already been fought, and it was the first to strike, and the result is the worst situation now, not to mention, as far as the current war situation in India is concerned, the British Empire has lost everything it can fight.
Pajvasaari's construction is right, only now begging for peace, can the British Empire's greatest interests in the South Asian subcontinent be preserved, if waiting for Tang Qiuli's troops to occupy all of India, the British Empire will not even have the capital to negotiate, but now negotiations, there will be a lot to lose, Churchill is a little hesitant.
He picked up Chelsea's last letter, "We must urge Americans to join the war against the Chinese," which pierced Churchill's nerves, and when he mentioned this matter, Churchill was angry. …,
Churchill personally to US President Benjamin Franklin? Roosevelt sent a telegram imploring the US troops in the South Pacific region to enter the South Asian subcontinent, even if they did not participate in the battle against Tang Qiuli's troops, at least they could have a deterrent effect. (Just look for novel material)
But Roosevelt's reply politely refused without hesitation, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, as far as the current situation in Southeast Asia and India is concerned, our biggest enemy is still the Japanese, and Tang Qiuli's troops are an integral part of the Allied forces, and if China's military strength in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region enters India, the Japanese movement in this region will not be restricted." ”
"At that time, our common interests will suffer great losses, and the war with Tang Qiuli, in my personal opinion, Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very unwise, if the US military is joining, will it not evolve into a war within the Allied forces? Therefore, we in the United States cannot and cannot meet the request of His Excellency the Prime Minister, and the only solution now is to immediately negotiate with Tang Qiuli so that the Chinese troops can return to the Indochina Peninsula as much as possible. ”
Churchill gave up a big face, touched a gray nose, Roosevelt's lame man, and vaguely accused himself, his brain is not enough, the Japanese are close to your Americans' territory, Tang Qiuli will become your guest, then I recover Indochina, what's wrong?
The United States is indeed a country where interests come first, and the iron buddy relationship between Britain and the United States for many years is really not as good as its own interests, but the Americans are the only country where Churchill can contain Tang Qiuli and cut off the overseas territories of the British Empire.
US President Roosevelt's words, Churchill could not but pay attention, his range of thinking, can only be at a minimum, reduce the British Empire's losses on the South Asian subcontinent, this limited range of circles, the shape shì is stronger than people, no matter how much Churchill considers, or above board or despicable and dirty means, he sadly found that the British Empire was cut off by the Chinese Tang Qiu, which is an inevitable end.
The only difference is the question of how much has been cut, the ambition of the great man and the ruthless reality gave Churchill a sense of powerlessness, and at this moment, his secretary quietly came in and reminded: "Your Excellency the Prime Minister, the members of the Cabinet and the generals of the General Staff, have been waiting for you for more than two hours, do you see, will the meeting be held immediately?" ”
Churchill shook his large body and walked down the corridor in the basement with a look of disdain, his back so lonely under the light.
The joint meeting of the Cabinet and the General Staff was very short, and everyone knew that it was nothing more than a matter of deciding to make peace with the Chinese Tang Qiu in the current situation; in fact, the British had been bī in a corner, there was no room for maneuver, and if they did not negotiate, they would lose more or even all of it.
As for the details of the negotiations and the interests that must be ensured, the cabinet members and the generals of the General Staff did not mention a word wisely, because this matter is not something that they can control, and which Chinese Tang Qiuli has the final say, and who makes the Chinese have the upper hand now, and everything in the world is really the same, and the fists are hard, and it is the truth.
The cabinet meeting, by a show of hands, unanimously agreed on the resolution to negotiate with Tang Qiuli, and the cabinet members and generals, when they raised their hands, their expressions were as painful as they were, and this was the first time that the British Empire had negotiated with the enemy in such a passive situation.
Churchill picked up a page and, in his capacity as Prime Minister, wrote on it: "The wartime cabinet plenary meeting of the British Empire unanimously decided to authorize Sir Pajwasari, the Viceroy of India, to negotiate with the Chinese Tang Qiuli, and on the premise of ensuring the best interests of the British Empire in the South Asian subcontinent, Sir Pajwasali can determine the bottom line of the negotiations on his own." ”…,
Churchill was also smart not to stipulate the bottom line of negotiations, the bottom line was not in the hands of the British, so all the regulations, that is, a dead letter, his heart was dripping blood, and he was the first prime minister to sign a negotiation document that was absolutely unfavorable to the British Empire under forced circumstances.
Putting down the pen, the cabinet members and generals found that there were many wrinkles on the face of His Excellency the Prime Minister, as if in an instant, he was surprisingly old, and his eyes full of wisdom and cunning were dim.
Looking at Churchill's large and tired body, disappearing into the conference room, in the corridor, there was a heavy footstep, monotonous and domineering, the hearts of the cabinet members and generals kept sinking, they seemed to see the end of the British Empire from Churchill's body.
At about 11 o'clock on the night of May 24, the residence of Sir Pajwasari, the British Viceroy in India, was still brightly lit in New Delhi, India, but the senior officials of the Governor's Palace, including Pajwasari himself, sat on their sofas tiredly, silent, as tired as if they had run a marathon.
They waited for news from the country, they waited too long, only in the evening until now, more than five hours, worn out their patience and confidence, the cabinet did not give a reply, that is, if they did not approve peace talks with Tang Qiuli, what would happen next, everyone knew very well.
Tomorrow, when the sun rises, the Chinese soldiers will pour into New Delhi, a city that has lost the most basic defenses, and then, the carnival of the Chinese soldiers, the disaster of the British, the city, full of killing and looting and fire, the former conqueror, the high Cunning, has become the target of the Chinese soldiers to vent the primitive beast.
The terrible scene of the imagination made these panicked Englishmen shudder, and all of them had quietly called home 97ks., ready to run away at any time, and in the early hours of the morning, the cabinet had not answered, and they were not ready to accompany His Excellency the Governor, and waited for death in New Delhi.
