When Jiang Yiwu had just withdrawn, the Potala Palace was thinking of revenge.

The British advised them not to do this, at least to wait for the British to send them weapons and equipment before thinking about it in the long run, but the Potala Palace was obviously unwilling to wait at that time.

The Han people were like a despicable assassin who gave the Potala Palace the greatest insult. In particular, when Jiang Yiwu retreated, he actually took both the Dalai Lama and the Panchen Lama as hostages, and pointed the muzzle of a gun at their heads in front of all the Tibetan leaders, and this kind of humiliation was unacceptable to them.

So they didn't hesitate to catch up, they wanted to let these Han people who can only sneak attack know the strength of their sabers, and let the Han people know the sharpness of Tibetan knives!

The battle took only three hours from the beginning to the end, charging, dying, fleeing, the links in between are tightly linked, and even for some Tibetan soldiers, it feels like a complete process, the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is too great, even if those Tibetan soldiers are very brave, they all have the heart of death when they come, but they can't seem to make any reaction in the middle.

More than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers were killed, more than 10,000 were killed, and more than 9,000 were captured, that is, they came on horseback, and the pursuit of the volunteers also deliberately maintained depth, which allowed more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers to flee back.

The Potala Palace is sober.

More than 30,000 Tibetan soldiers pursued the less than 2,000 volunteers, and finally they set up a formation and killed themselves, and they didn't even have the ability to rush to the Han people.

Later, the volunteers gave statistics, and only 31 volunteers died in the whole battle, and more than 70 people were injured, and the most seriously injured were those people who watched the battle, who were injured by the shells.

There's really nothing more to fight than this. The Potala Palace can still gather troops now, and it is not difficult for him to form an army of more than 100,000 people if he wants to, but so what? Less than 2,000 people can kill 30,000 people, not to mention the Northwest Front Army and the Southwest Front Army of the Volunteer Army, which are eyeing each other from both sides, and I am afraid that the whole of Tibet will be razed to the ground after a full-scale war with the Han Chinese.

The need to change the status quo has become a high-level consensus. But on the question of how to change, there was a disagreement in the Potala Palace. One faction, led by the Dalai Lama, advocated that all-round cooperation with Britain should be started immediately, allowing British and Indian troops to enter Tibet and help them resist the attacks of the volunteers. On the other hand, the Panchen Lama, led by the Panchen Lama, advocated direct dialogue with Beijing immediately, and made appropriate concessions and gave up some privileges in exchange for Beijing's recognition of the Potala Palace.

They hadn't made up their minds yet, and Yang Xiaolin knew it would take time. Commander Young and Mr. Sadaoyi also communicated, and the British reaffirmed their position once again, no matter what happened there. No matter what choice the Potala Palace makes, as long as the volunteers withdraw from the Tibetan area as agreed, the British and Indian troops will definitely not enter a single soldier.

Du Yuesheng had just sent a telegram saying that they had arrived in Qinghai and that he was conducting an investigation into the attitude of the Tibetans toward us in Tibet, and that he would not be able to come up with a concrete feasible plan until the investigation was completed.

Yang Xiaolin didn't urge him, let alone give him any guidance, since the Northwest Affairs Bureau was established, then everything was handed over to them.

Tonight, Commander Yang held a family banquet at home. Although he has been in Beijing for many years, Yang Xiaolin still likes the way of eating in the Northeast, a large pot of stewed lamb with spinach and a few plates of peanuts. Two jars of old wine, eating and drinking comfortably.

"Matsubara-kun, come, have another drink."

Naokami Matsubara bowed slightly: "Kobayashi-kun forgive me." I really can't drink anymore, I'm going to get drunk if I drink again. ”

Yang Xiaolin looked at him with a smile, this guy was drunk every time he drank with himself. But his drunkenness was clearly deliberately controlled. Commander Yang didn't care about him, and shook the cup at Li Debiao: "Biaozi." ”

Li Debiao picked up his own wine bowl on the table and drank it all, and then picked up a leg of lamb bone from the basin with a mouth and gnawed it.

Naokami Matsubara's chopsticks were put down and said, "Kobayashi-kun, I still don't agree with your opinion. You have already read Japan's development plan, and we really have reservations about the development of the army, and at present we want to concentrate all our efforts on developing the navy. Besides, let Brother Biaozi come to our Japan, I am really afraid that I will neglect Biaozi, and you know, our current economic conditions in Japan are very bad. ”

Li Debiao hurriedly spit the meat in his mouth into the bowl in front of him: "That's it!" Commander, you see that Matsubara-kun has said so, it's really not interesting for me to go to Japan! It's really not okay, you let me go to North Korea, Sui Bing's kid can't handle North Korea until now, I'll promise to do it for you immediately! Let me go to Russia. ”

Yang Xiaolin's eyes widened and he didn't say anything, and Li Debiao immediately shut up.

Japan's refusal to develop its army is a very clever strategy, not only because of their national strength, but also because they are clearly positioning themselves behind China. The most important thing is that Japan only develops its navy and has a small number of combat aircraft, so that they can get rid of China's control over them at any time.

Those ships and tanks are burning oil, and the sea passage of little Japan is now in our hands, and if Japan imitates the Chinese army to build armored forces on a large scale, as long as our hands are lightly pinched, all its tanks, planes and warships will not be able to operate. The bigger he is, the more dependent he is on us.

Only by developing the navy, Japan has the ability to carry out oil reserves, and this abacus is very shrewd for Japan. But Yang Xiaolin was reluctant to let them develop only the navy.

We still have a lot of battles to fight, and it is obviously not possible for Japan to rely on Siam if it does not develop its army, and there are many battles that we may have to fight in person. Deep down in his heart, Yang Xiaolin has a perverted imbalance, whether it is now or in the future, he does not want to see the Chinese troops fighting desperately, while the Japanese watch us fight.

Commander Yang sighed: "Songyuan-kun, you and my brother don't say a word, if you want to drive those foreigners away from Asia, we will definitely not be able to rely on our Chinese strength alone." Now that Siam has built an army, I don't feel at ease with them. I'm worried that if there is a fight in the future, the Chinese army will face a situation where it will be difficult to support independence. ”

Naokami Matsubara's eyes flashed, looked at Yang Xiaolin's expression, and nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll communicate with Tokyo again." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Debiao put the wine bowl on the table, and his face was extremely ugly. He knew it in his heart. Yang Xiaolin insisted, and went straight to Matsubara and said that his trip to Japan was decided. He really doesn't have a good impression of the Japanese, so it's better to go to Russia with the second pole in the first place.

After putting down the wine bowl, he stood up, took off his coat and said, "Commander, you are still drinking, I will go out for a walk twice, this room is stuffy and uncomfortable." ”

Yang Xiaolin didn't pay attention to him, and after he went out, he continued to say to Naogami Matsubara: "Matsubara-kun, I heard that the current shape in Japan is not very stable, and Britain seems to have plans to attack you." What do you think? Can it be done? ”

Naokami Matsubara let out a long sigh, then shook his head and said, "Things may be a little troublesome. Kobayashi-kun, after the friction between us ended, many people were not satisfied with the final result. Originally, under the suppression of His Excellency Katsura Taro, General Togo and General Terauchi could still control the situation, but after the British intervened, the problem was a bit strict. ”

A cruel smile appeared on Yang Xiaolin's face: "Actually, I have always thought that your hearts are too soft, and there are some people who should be killed." It's still going to be killed. ”

Naokami Matsubara didn't say anything. Many of Japan's low-ranking officers were very resistant to Naha's lend-lease, believing that it was a loss of the spirit of bushido from the higher-ups. They shouted that they would die with China, and would rather be broken than accept the humiliation of the Chinese.

These guys didn't think about the fact that Japan couldn't fight anymore now, and they understood at all why Saionji and Katsura Taro chose to give in. Their irrational shouting comes at a time when Japan's economy is in a recession. It has really been recognized by many Japanese people.

This was not a problem in the first place, and after the defeat of the war, there was bound to be social turmoil, and such a situation was completely expected by the Japanese leadership, and they had many solutions to solve it. It can make the transition of the problem smooth.

But who made the world have Britain.

As soon as the British Empire intervened, the problem was immediately severe. Britain gave a lot of money to the organizations of the junior officers, and at the same time made empty promises. Said the British. As long as Japan is willing to fight, Britain will fully support them, the Asian fleet in Southeast Asia will not hesitate to intervene in the battle, and Britain will persuade France and the United States to also participate in the war against China.

This lie is all too obvious, and if they can keep their promise, it will not be Japan that may lose in the war that has already ended. Katsura Taro: They didn't believe what the British said, but the British didn't say it to them.

However, those officers at the grassroots level regarded this as a straw for Japan to turn over, and the voices calling for another war became louder and louder.

The protests on the streets of Tokyo had been revived some time ago, and a large number of soldiers and civilians went to the palace gate every day to stit-in, and what was worse was that they selected four or five people every day to commit suicide by disembowelment, in order to force the emperor to go to war again, and to demand that the incompetent Katsura Taro step down immediately.

Katsura Taro tried to expel them by forceful means, and the emperor came out of the palace to talk to these people directly and let them go home, but these guys didn't buy it.

The situation in Japan is no longer a simple one.

Also, what Commander Yang said was so cruel but it made Songyuan-kun's heart disgusted, this beast is really not a thing! He was able to stabilize on the issue of China, but as soon as he came to Japan, he said that the Japanese government was not fast enough, and maybe if Japan became what North Korea is now, this guy would be very happy.

Matsubara-kun didn't want to talk to him about this topic anymore, so he asked: "Kobayashi-kun, we hope that the Chinese side can organize an Asian alliance to take certain actions against the British, and we must let those foreigners know that it will not be their turn to dictate Asian affairs in the future." ”

Yang Xiaolin nodded: "Songyuan-kun, we can't do that now." The terms of the Asian Alliance make it clear that we will not interfere in the internal affairs of our allies. We all know that the British want to cause turmoil in Japan in order to attack our alliance, but now is not the time for us to do it, because I can't beat him. (To be continued......)
