By mid-June 1912, the European theater had fallen silent. Originally, the Anglo-French alliance planned to take advantage of the situation to attack the German army after the great victory of the British Royal Navy, and strive to win one or two decisive battles and expel the German army from France. However, under the orders of the British and French governments, the Anglo-French forces had to stop the offensive they had prepared and turn to the defensive, which also gave the demoralized German army a chance to breathe. This allowed the Germans to draw more forces to strengthen their defensive lines in northeastern France.

Although the attack stopped, Britain and France used their brains in other areas. On June 11, 1912, the Times did not publish the content of the war on the front page for the first time, but two English words as the headline "yellowperil", and below was a picture of the Mongolian cavalry on war horses sweeping across Europe, in which the Mongolian cavalry used their bows and knives to wantonly slaughter the troops and civilians of various European countries. The following text introduces the Mongol invasion of Europe in history. In addition, a large amount of space is devoted to the current Chinese invasion of the Americas and the threat that China poses to the entire Western world. Remind everyone that a second "yellow peril" seems to be imminent.

Since then, the "Yellow Peril" has been preached in every issue of The Times, and many other newspapers have joined it, including those in France and other European countries. For a time, the "Yellow Peril Theory" was very popular in Europe and North America. Even ordinary civilians learned about the history of the Mongols in Europe through the guò newspapers. They are afraid that history will repeat itself. Many radical Europeans even held a march, shouting the slogan of Europeans uniting, stopping the war, and killing all the Orientals.

Historically, there have been two major Mongol expeditions to the west. The first was to destroy the rising Khorezm in Central Asia. The second time was after the destruction of Khorezm and the invasion of Europe.

The Mongol invasion of Europe, also known as the Eldest Son's Western Expedition, was the second large-scale Western Expedition of the Mongol Empire after Genghis Khan's Western Expedition to Khorezm (and was followed by another Western Expedition, led by Möngke Khan's brother Hulegu). From 1235 to about 1242, it lasted about 8 years, because the eldest son or eldest grandson of the kings of various clans (the second son of Jochi, Batu, the eldest son of Wokotai, Guiyou, the eldest son of Tuolei, Meng Ge, the eldest son of Chagatai, Sun Buri, etc.) led the army to the west, so it was called the "eldest son's expedition to the west". In this war, Batu was nominally the commander-in-chief, but in fact Subutai led the army. The total number of troops under his command is estimated at more than 120,000 men, and he destroyed the East Slavic states such as Kievan Rus' and the Vladimir Principality, and destroyed the Kingdom of Hungary at the Battle of Tisza, and destroyed the divided medieval Poland at the Battle of Legnica. In the spring of 1235, at the same time as the expedition to the south. Ögedei Khan also sent Badu, Guiyou, Möngke, and Burissi to conquer.

In 1235, Ögedei Khan ordered Batu to conquer Russia. The main force of the Western Expeditionary Army was led by Batu, Meng Ge and Guiyou. In the spring of 1236, Guiyou and Möngke led their army westward, from summer to autumn, and entered the territory of Briar, where they joined the Batu and Tanggu of the Jochi family. The Mongol army stormed and captured "the city of Briar, which was famous for its fortified positions and abundant resources", and slaughtered them. Then the city was burned. In the winter, the Mongol army followed the river. The lord of the Kipchak tribe (a Turkic clan) living in the Ilberi Mountains between the Ural and Volga rivers had sent an envoy to the Mongols, and his son, the Bandu Chaju tribe, surrendered. Another tribal leader, the Bachman, resisted. They hid in the jungles on the left bank of the Volga and from time to time attacked the Mongol troops. In the early spring of 1237, the Mongol army searched in the form of a hunting circle, and the Eight Red Barbarians were forced to flee to a small island in the Kuantia Jisi Sea (Caspian Sea). Möngke led his army to ride the waves. Capture the eight barbarians. The nearby Asut and Qachirukula were also conquered. The conquest of Briar and the Kipchaks opened the door to the westward march into Zaras. The Mongol army had no worries from then on. You can launch a much more powerful expedition without any scruples.

In the autumn of 1237, the princes gathered together and decided to enter the Mordovan region by winter from the northeast. In December 1237, he arrived at the Marquis of Yerezan, located in the Ryazan region in the central part of present-day Russia, in the middle of the Oka River. The Mongols sent an envoy to pay tribute: high and low, and pay one-tenth of all their wealth. It was rejected by the Yeliezan people. The Mongols besieged the city and fought fiercely for five days, and on December 21, 1237, the city of Suzdal fell. In 1238, they marched on Moscow and burned the city. The occupation of Moscow not only completed the flank encirclement of the Vladimir principality, but also directly threatened the entire northern territory of the Principality of Novgorod. In February, the siege of Vladimir was besieged, and Möngke himself led the main army to storm it, and six days later, on February 8, 1238, the city was broken. Other cities throughout the territory were conquered one after another. Then, the Mongol army led by Po Luantai immediately advanced north. On 4 March, Grand Duke Yuri II was annihilated by the Mongols in the area of the Sidi River. Fearing that spring was approaching, the snow and ice would melt and the roads would be muddy and difficult to navigate, the Mongols withdrew and headed straight south. When passing through the small city of Kozelsk, the Mongols attacked the small city of Kozelsk, but they were met with unexpectedly stubborn resistance, and the soldiers and civilians in the city desperately refused to defend until the last group of resisters died heroically. The Mongol army was held back for seven weeks and paid a heavy price for it. After that, the Mongol army withdrew to the lower basin of the Don River for rest. In 1239, Möngke attacked Asu and laid siege to its capital, which lasted three months (January 1240). and attacked the Circassians, and slew their lord, the Bald. Xiban and Buri plundered the Crimean Peninsula, while Berge plundered the Kipchaks. In the autumn of that year, Guiyou and Meng Ge returned to the east. In 1240, the Mongol army recuperated and moved westward. In the autumn, he entered and destroyed the two cities of Berea Slava and Chernigova, approached the beggars, and sent an envoy to surrender, and the messenger was killed. The Mongol army attacked the city, and a few days later (December 6) the city was broken, slaughtered and destroyed. Continuing westward, some of the low-ranking dukes on the right bank of Ukraine were all subject to the Mongols.

In the spring of 1241, the Mongol army was divided into two routes, the main force of the invasion of Hungary led by Batu and his brothers, the Xiao general Subutai, and the other invasion of Poland led by Baitar and Uliang Hetai (son of Subutai), in order to eliminate the threat that the main army might come from the right flank when it was in Hungary. In February, the Mongols crossed the river to the vicinity of Kerakova and retreated. In March, the Mongols attacked again, defeated the Polish army, burned Krakkova, and entered Silesia. Henry, Grand Duke of Silesia, gathered the Silesian and Polish armies, as well as the Germanic and Teutonic Knights, a total of 30,000 men, divided into five routes. The Mongol army was old and pressed into Legniz, and also met it in five ways. On April 9, the two armies were defeated, and Henry was killed. The victors cut off an ear from each enemy corpse, and it was reported that it contained a total of nine large bags. The Mongol army marched south into Moravia, burning and plundering all the way to the border between Bohemia and Austria. The Bohemian commander Jaroslava defended Đilmuz. The Mongol army could not attack for a long time, so it sent several troops to remnant its vicinity. Seeing that the Mongol army was a little slack, Yaroslava attacked by night on June 24. The Mongols suffered heavy casualties and retreated to Hungary three days later to join up with the main force of Batu. Batu invaded Hungary in three ways. Xiban took Poland and Moravia in the north, Hatan from Moradavia in the east, and Batu from Galicia. The Mongol army marched on the city of Budas. In April, Behra recruited 60,000 Magyars reinforcements to fight, and the Mongol army retreated without a fight. Behra entered the Sayue River, camped on the west bank, and guarded the bridge with a thousand men. On the same night, the Mongol army stormed the bridge and crossed the river without speed, surrounding the Hungarian military camp. Don't the whole army was annihilated, and he got away alone. The Mongol army captured the city of Budas, set fire to it, and slaughtered its people. In the summer and autumn of that year, the Mongol army was stationed east of the Danube River and plundered in all directions. The Mongol army plundered Spalato and Cataro, and took a small island in the Adriatic Sea. On December 11, Ögedei died, and the news came that Batu withdrew his army and returned to the east due to the succession of the Khan. The Hedan army also returned east via Serbia and Batu and arrived at the Batu garrison in the lower reaches of the Volga River in early 1243.

In just one week, the entire Western world has shifted the topic of conversation from war to the Yellow Peril. Even in Germany, China's ally, many people are worried about the "Yellow Peril" invading Europe again. After all, when the Mongols marched westward, the Germans suffered heavy casualties. Some German government officials also suggested that the government revise its previous strategy to stop the war with Western countries and unite to destroy China. The aftermath of the annihilation of the main forces of the German High Seas Fleet has been completely revealed. Having felt unable to defeat Britain and France, the German elite seemed to want to find another way. And this way out is their former allies.

On the evening of June 18, 1912, General Wei Zhiyong, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, met with the Imperial Emperor Wang Yuze, and handed over to Wang Yuze the European intelligence on the "Yellow Peril Theory" compiled by the Military Intelligence Bureau during this period.

"Those *** Westerners are really cunning!" After reading the information, Wang Yuze scolded. What he feared most was going to happen. The Allied countries suddenly threw out the weapon of the 'Yellow Peril', which caught China quite off guard. After China's rise, the Western world was already wary of China. Now, coupled with the guidance of the government, it will inevitably make the entire Western world extremely hostile to the Eastern world led by China. Once the world war evolves from a war between the two opposing imperialist blocs, the Central Powers and the Entente, to a war between the East and the West, China will face very great difficulties. Now China, in terms of comprehensive national strength, is already the world's first, but if the entire Western world is united, China is far from comparable!
