    "Due to the sudden European War, the order of the civilized world has begun to collapse. We can clearly see that as the British Empire is plunged into the quagmire of war, from Europe to Asia, the order of the old world under the rule of the British Empire is collapsing. ÖÐ. In Northern Europe, a red evil regime has seized control of Tsarist Russia and is trying its best to export its red revolution! In America, the newly rising industrial power has completed its military armament and wants to manage America as its own  's back garden!¡±

    ¡°In the Middle East and Central Asia, one after another revolutions are constantly destroying the colonial systems of the great powers; in South Asia, Indochina is affected by the revolutions from China and Soviet Russia, and a big storm is brewing in South Asia; in the Far East, the Japanese continue to seize the original  The East Indies colonies belonging to the Kingdom of the Netherlands are still actively expanding to the Pacific Ocean and the Indochina Peninsula. At the same time, after the revolution, China is still seeking the return of the occupied territories and its equivalent great power status!"

    "This is the most chaotic era. As one of the diplomats sent by the British Empire to the Far East, I regretfully discovered that as the empire is mired in war, we are no longer able to intervene in the Far East and the order is out of our control. Especially in East Asia,  In the name of recovering their lost territory, a full-scale war has begun between China and Japan over the hegemony of leadership in East Asia!"

    "The 11th year is just like the slow and unpredictable 111th year. Europe has already seen the hope of the end of the war. As the Allies retreat on the battlefield, our energy needs to gradually return to Asia. We believe that the pre-war support for our ally Japan  Hope, because the Japanese¡¯s external expansion ambitions and the domestic political situation have been turbulent, they have come to naught, and this country has become a source of instability in the Far East!¡±

    "It is worth mentioning that the newly rising China has given us many new choices. History has proven that in the past we chose Japan, which thwarted the rise of China and also curbed the expansion of Tsarist Russia. Now as Japan rises to become a  It is a huge monster and has begun to threaten the interests of the British Empire in the Pacific and the Far East. We believe that in the war between China and Japan over the leadership of East Asia, the British Empire needs to maintain absolute neutrality, and may even continue the consistent policy of the past empire, and must ensure that both sides  The balance of power between the two yellow countries."

    "If it can be ensured that China does not fall to Soviet Russia, then maintaining this country's huge military power in the Far East will help curb the penetration of the evil red regime into the civilized world. However, in order to prevent this country from losing its tail, we think it is still necessary to  Its development on the sea and in the sky should be restricted. As for Japan, maintaining a powerful naval fleet will help block the vast Soviet Russia and China from reaching the sea, and it can also play a role in containing the expansion of the United States in Asia!"

    "To sum up, we believe that it is necessary for the British Empire to play a neutral role in this all-out war between China and Japan. We must not only try our best to maintain the balance of power between China and Japan, but also ensure that China can devote itself wholeheartedly to  In this war, the threat of Japanese radical forces to peace in the Far East and the Pacific should be weakened as much as possible. At the same time, a powerful Japan will inevitably cause heavy losses to the newly rising China."

    "I am sorry to see that many domestic observers and old colonialists believe that it is necessary to use stronger means to beat China, a newly rising country. Changes in domestic policies have caused inconsistencies between China and the British Empire.  Trust gradually grows, and it will undoubtedly be a disaster if the empire chooses to side with its ally Japan and exert pressure on the revolutionary Chinese regime."

    "For Western countries, under President Li Han's strong diplomatic approach, a rising China is not in the interests of Western countries. But we must see that an overly powerful Japan is also not in the interests of the empire."

    "In the new 11 years, not only European civilization is undergoing a turning point, but the development of Asia is also heading towards the greatest turning point. I also ask the Prime Minister and all ministers to think twice"

    ¡ª¡ªThe memoir "My Nine Years in China" by Barthes, the first ambassador of the British Empire to China, contains a long manuscript he sent to China during the total war between China and Japan in 11 years.  (Although some facts in this book are full of the author's overly subjective intentions. However, the large amount of first-hand information provided by the author makes this book a historical work that many modern history researchers at home and abroad attach great importance to)

    Ambassador Bart was sitting in the reception room of the Presidential Palace, absentmindedly enjoying the fragrant coffee provided by the Presidential Palace.  With him were the ambassadors of the United States and France.  Seeing that the Sino-Japanese war was almost half a month old, they received an interview from the president of the Republic of China.

    The war between China and Japan suddenly broke out, and it was actually China that started it. This shocked the Western Allied countries and made them even more confused.  Although they guaranteed the Sino-Japanese contract, no one expected that the situation would suddenly develop like a raging fire!

      This result is actually not beyond their expectations.  In fact, as early as 111 years after the revolution occurred in this country, some people had guessed that this day would come.  A country that becomes powerful after a revolution will inevitably go to war with the powers that bully the country, especially Japan and Russia, which sequestered a large amount of territory from the Republic of China.

    However, no one thought that this day would come so quickly.

    After all, the 114-year Shandong War between China and Japan only ended a few years ago, and the subsequent Sino-Russian war broke out. Although China took the opportunity to recover a large amount of territory occupied by Russia, its own losses were definitely not small.

    The facts are obvious. After the revolution, the Chinese forces have gradually grown stronger through past development. In particular, they have mastered the most powerful air power in Asia. After controlling the sky, they brazenly launched attacks on the Liaodong Peninsula, Taiwan, and Korea under Japanese occupation.  A raid.  Today's entire Republic of China government is actually a military group covered in government guise. Many diplomats in China believe that past victories have made the country's decision-makers unprecedentedly confident. They no longer even consider what will happen after failure. Maybe in the future  In their eyes, war means victory.

    A country that became proud and even arrogant after the revolution!

    This is the sentiment of many diplomats in China, but Balt does not think so.  The British have always had the habit of collecting intelligence. Everyone only knows that Japan operates a powerful intelligence network in China, but they do not know that in addition to the Japanese, Britain, France, Russia, and Germany all have their own intelligence in China, especially  The British were the first to open the door to this country. The natural power of the British Empire meant that even if they were collecting intelligence, a large number of Japanese soldiers would voluntarily serve under the British.

    Too much information has been sent from British intelligence in China. Bart and his military attaches generally believe that China has been preparing for this all-out war between China and Japan for many years, and both its material reserves and military dispatch are far beyond those of outsiders.  imagination.  The most obvious manifestation is that shortly after the war began, China mobilized at least more than 50,000 tons of strategic materials and transported them to the Northeast.  Tens of thousands of tons of bombs were already deployed on the Liaodong Peninsula and North Korea. The military victory of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of China on the Liaodong Peninsula was a victory of logistics and sufficient preparation.

    All Western countries were greatly shocked by the crazy actions of the Republic of China government.  While they were still uneasily discussing how to deal with it, trying to find a compromise.  The People's Liberation Army has been victorious on the battlefield, taking advantage of the Japanese's lack of preparation. Everything they have gained from the battlefield has seriously exceeded the psychological line of the Japanese. There seems to be no possibility of reconciliation between the two countries.

    ¡°According to morality and the international law behind the treaty, Western countries had no choice. They should have stood with their ally Japan, put pressure on China or even gone to war with the Republic of China.  However, Japan is indeed an ally of the Allied Powers, but this country's excessive power and its expansion into the Southeast Asia and Pacific regions in the past few years have seriously hurt the interests of Western countries.  Therefore, many white politicians believe that there is no need to shed white blood for the two yellow countries' battle for East Asian hegemony. Their best choice is to watch the war between the two countries with cold eyes.  The result they most hope to see is that the two countries will eventually fight to the point of exhaustion. While their national strength will seriously decline, they will also lose the ability to fight against the Western powers.

    In this war, which country¡¯s interests are related to the interests of the Western world?  White politicians began a new round of discussions and came to the conclusion that it would be best for both countries to suffer losses.

    Because of comprehensive considerations, once China defeats Japan and regains its lost territory, their next choice is to comprehensively negotiate with other great powers and abolish the various privileges of the great powers in China. The United Kingdom in particular will bear the brunt, but don¡¯t forget that the United Kingdom still has  With Hong Kong under separate rule, the victorious Republic of China would never allow the British to continue to occupy Hong Kong.

    And if Japan wins, their power in the Far East will be greatly enhanced.  Diplomats in China have no doubt that the Japanese will take away the entire Manchuria and Mongolia as a revenge to punish the defeated China.  Once they occupied the rich land of Manchuria and Mongolia, the Japanese colony expanded several times.  Then, combined with their superior naval power and their unruly and somewhat crazy military regime, they will be a real and huge threat to the Asian governance system of the Western world.

    However, the U.S. ambassador recently cautiously raised a point. The U.S. ambassador, who had received a personal interview with the president of the Republic of China not long ago, obviously received a lot of guarantees from the Republic of China. He once again put forward a proposition, that is, limited  Support China to ensure China's victory in this Sino-Japanese war.
