Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Foreign Minister Chen Yi, who was hated by the British Ambassador to China, Mr. Markley, took the initiative to come forward this time and apologized very sincerely, saying that we made a mistake and it was our problem. On behalf of the Chinese government, I apologized to the British Empire.

    The monk of the Second Machara couldn't touch his head, and what apologies did you say?  Are you afraid of being beaten by us?  Suddenly, the majestic image of the British Empire was once again erected in Ambassador Maclay's mind.

    However, something happened that stunned Ambassador Makley. Chen Yi said: "Our border defense force mistakenly mistook the bandits who entered the Banhong area for your army, which led to this diplomatic conflict. It was all a fake case reported by Yunnan villagers.  After they were attacked by bandits, in order to get help from the government troops, they fabricated the fact that your army invaded the Banhong area. In fact, after our army arrived in Banhong, it took seven days to eliminate and capture the group.  They killed and injured more than 1,000 people and captured more than 1,700 people. These people also admitted that they were bandits and that it was not your army that entered our country without authorization. Therefore, I am here to express my sincere apology.  Yes, our government has ordered the Yunnan Provincial Government to arrest the villagers who falsely passed on the information for the crime of spreading rumors. Please rest assured, Ambassador Makre."

    Ambassador Maclay didn¡¯t know what to say. This news surprised him so much. Ban Hong¡¯s British army was completely wiped out in seven days?  This is simply a fantasy.

    Chen Yi specially sent a plaque with the four characters "good neighborliness and friendship" written inside. He explained to Ambassador Makley: "The meaning of these four characters is that two neighboring families must get along well, just like We are as close as brothers. The border between China and Britain stretches for thousands of kilometers. It can be said that my country is the neighbor with the second longest border. This plaque was personally inscribed by Wang Maoru, the President of the Republic of my country, and specially presented to the Ambassador. I hope you can Work together with our country to make China and Britain truly good-neighborly and friendly countries."

    Makrei had no choice but to answer him with a wry smile.

    Before leaving, Chen Yi said specifically: "There are some European faces among the bandits. You must know that since the end of the Soviet-Russian Civil War, some Belarusian soldiers have fled into China and become bandits. So our border defense force believes that we should  They are White Russian bandits, and they suggest that these bandits should be given to the Soviet Russians to be dealt with by the Soviet Russians."

    Makrei was immediately frightened, damn Chinaman.  You are so bad!  Send our young men to the inhumane Russians - no, I should say the Soviet Russians, if you can think of it.

    The status of the Soviet Republic in the international community is extremely low. It faces a worldwide embargo and domestic conflicts have intensified seriously. Stalin, who had just come to power, faced a series of challenges and had to use his secret service agencies to consolidate his power.  So it can be said.  If these British young men were given to the Soviet Russians by the Chinese, they would definitely make a big fuss, discredit the British Empire internationally, and at the same time raise their own worth.  Will the British choose to fight a war with the Soviets?

    Who wants to go to the damn Arctic, where there is only four months of ice and snow a year without learning?  It is impossible for the British not to remember the lesson of Napoleon's defeat in Moscow. The area of ??combat that the British are good at is the temperate zone.  Subtropical and subarctic zones, rather than Russia¡¯s vast frigid ice fields.

    Makrei did not dare to make a rash decision, and quickly invited Chen Yi to stay, saying: "We can discuss this matter"

    Chen Yi smiled proudly.  Finally got the fuck back and made you arrogant British guy!

    With the persuasion of Ambassador Maclay.  Also under the calculation of Foreign Minister Chen Yi, China decided to temporarily transport the bandits to Beijing for screening instead of sending them to the Russians.  Both sides knew that they were British soldiers, but they both had their own reasons to deny their identities.

    At this time, Rufus Isaacs, the Governor-General of British India, learned from Maclay's telegram that all the British troops entering China were captured, and nearly 1,000 of the 2,700 soldiers and officers were killed in the battle.  More than 1,700 people were sent to the Soviet government by the Chinese. Among these prisoners, there were not many Indian Sikh soldiers, but there were more than 200 British soldiers.

    "Damn it!" Rufus Isaacs smashed the tea set on the coffee table, and the tea set made in China immediately fell into pieces.

    "China! China! Damn China!" (English Porcelain and China) Rufus Isaacs roared, and several Indian servants on the side were frightened and hid aside. When Governor Isaacs smiled angrily, the Indians with low eyebrows looked down upon them.  Only then did the servant come to clean up.

    At this time, General Edward Edward, Chief of Staff of the British Indian Expeditionary Force Command, and his staff hurried to the Governor-General of India in Delhi after receiving the notice from Governor Isaacs.  Eduardo is an officer with extremely rich practical experience. He participated in the European War and was sent to Belgium as a British military observer in 1914 to observe the attitude of Germany at that time. Later, Germany invaded Belgium. At that time, it was stillLieutenant Eduardo immediately organized the British troops in Belgium to join the Belgian army in resisting the German army.  A large-scale war broke out in Belgium between the Allies and the Entente. It can be said that Eduardo's promotion to the military rank occurred along with the four years of the European War.

    In 1920, Eduardo had already served as a colonel in the British army and was deployed to Malaya. He led the British army to govern Malaya and crushed many tribal rebellions in Malaya. His tough attitude frightened the Malayan horsemen.  Someone comes.  In 1921, the former Governor-General of India, Frederick Sethi Jay, had no choice but to resign due to the implementation of the Rowlatt Act, which led to riots in Gujarat and Punjab. Rufus Isaacs became the Governor-General of India.  Rufus Isaacs recommended Colonel Rudis Ferdinand Eduardo to serve as Chief of Staff of the British Expeditionary Force in India.

    Eduardo, an officer with a stubborn character and combat experience, immediately became the best partner in the East with Governor Rufus Isaacs. This test of China was also ordered by Eduardo after following the advice of Governor Rufus Isaacs.  The troops stationed in Myanmar entered the Banhong area of ??China to conduct an armed test against China.  Of course, more importantly, there are silver mines there, silver mines that can bring a lot of money to the British every year.

    The Banhong Silver Mine is neither too big nor too small. Another reason why the British chose Banhong is that the Chinese government has not stationed troops on the southern border. Unlike the Sino-Russian border, the Chinese have no regard for the Soviet Union.  The Russians are full of vigilance and preparedness, and even built a large number of bunkers. However, in the three provinces of Yunnan, Tibet and Xinjiang, the Chinese only set up boundary markers and sent troops to patrol from time to time.

    Eduardo bears some responsibility for this disastrous defeat. He did not learn from the failure in Kashmir last May and believed that the Chinese army did not have the guts to fight the regular British army.  Before the war, he told Governor Isaacs: "The Chinese will only protest and confront each other in Yunnan. It is absolutely impossible to fire on the British Empire Army. Every time we take a step forward, they will take a step back because we are number one in the world."

    Unexpectedly, the troops entering China were completely wiped out. The last telegram was that they were short of curry and hoped to bring some curry powder from Yangon

    And then, there was no more.

    The entire army was wiped out.

    "We want revenge, we want to launch a war against China!" Chief of Staff Eduardo shouted loudly. He picked up the defense map and said: "Your Excellency, the Governor, the Chinese have violated the bottom line of our British Empire. They have insulted the British Empire.  Glory! We want war, we want war against China! Let China become British China!"

    Eddie Robinson, senior adviser to the Governor-General's Mansion, smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty General, I'm afraid we've hit the iron plate this time." Eddie Robinson is the second son of George Robinson, the 13th Governor-General of India. His grandfather was a British  Viscount Godrich, Prime Minister of the Empire, George Robinson enjoys a very high reputation in India. In addition to serving as the Governor-General of India, George Robinson also has a very special identity, that is, the Grand Elder of the Christian Freemasonry, and his  The second son, Eddie Robinson, now not only holds an important position in the Freemasonry, but also serves as a senior advisor to the Governor-General of India and is recognized by indigenous elders across India.

    Governor Isaacs¡¯ right-hand man was none other than Eddie Robinson and Eduardo, two generals, both civil and military.

    Eddie Robinson analyzed: "Perhaps, Congress will not pay attention to us at all. Their biggest enemy now is the strike launched by the domestic Bolshevik Party."

    Eduardo shook his head and said: "Even so, our own strength alone is enough to teach China an unforgettable lesson. We have 50,000 British Empire elite army troops in South Asia and Southeast Asia, and nearly 300,000 servant soldiers  , In addition, the invincible Royal Navy of the British Empire is waiting to set off in the Indian Ocean at any time! Your Excellency, Governor, we cannot just suffer the loss of the Chinese monkeys. The glory of the British Empire's military parade in the Forbidden City twenty years ago cannot be lost in our hands." He  The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the officers behind him also shouted excitedly: "We must not retreat anymore. We have already retreated once in Kashmir, and we cannot retreat in Banhun this time!"

    Eduardo said: "During the battle in Kashmir, the Chinese used the plateau terrain to ambush us. That time it was a servant army fighting. But this time it was a British Empire Army fighting, and we were also ambushed by the Chinese's machinations. This shows that the Chinese  There has been a plan for us for a long time. If we retreat at Banhun, the next step we will lose is Burma, the next step is Malaya, and the next step is India."

    Governor Isaacs was persuaded by him, so he decided to have Chief of Staff Eduardo plan and mobilize troops to prepare for a war against China from Burma.

    We must get this face back!  Governor Isaacs thought so.
