Part One Russo-Japanese War Chapter 325 Asian League

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While the top political leaders of the empire were brewing a major political change based on the long-term future, a large-scale anti-British uprising broke out in Pakistan, South Asia.

    After the Battle of Sanduao, Britain has been actively trying to change its navy and purchase more aircraft carriers in an attempt to regain the leadership of the British Empire Navy in the world. As we all know, the navy is the most expensive branch of the military in the world.  Wanting to regain naval supremacy in a short period of time is not a realistic goal at all for the financially strapped British Empire, but Britain still resolutely did so. In order to solve the financial shortage, the United Kingdom on the one hand strengthened its military operations in Asia.  At the same time, new taxes and assessments were significantly increased, which further led to the rise of anti-British waves in various colonies.

    Different from the non-cooperation boycott movement of the Indian separatists, because Pakistan is close to Afghanistan, China and Iran, the tribes in various regions have more opportunities to obtain weapons and ammunition, and they adopt more extreme military measures in the anti-British colonial rule anti-government movement.  Means, and Britain has always supported Indians more on the India-Pakistan issue, while in Pakistan it prefers forceful suppression and conquest.

    Even if the Asian League is not involved in the Kazakh and Korean wars, the arrogant British Empire will not show mercy to the Pakistan region it rules. What's more, China is at war with the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, and its main military forces are deployed in the northwest and northeast regions.  , Britain took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale military crackdown in Pakistan, concentrating its military forces in South Asia in this region.

    The military conflict between the British army and the local Islamic terrorist organization resulted in large-scale casualties, which completely angered other Islamic countries within the Asian Alliance.

    The British Empire made two mistakes on this issue. One was to underestimate the determination of the Chinese Empire to fight against it. After hundreds of years of Eurocentrism, in the face of the rise of the Chinese Empire again, the British still maintained that  Arrogant white race superiority theory.  In fact, this is also a worldwide problem. Although China is the well-deserved largest country in the world in terms of military and economic strength, it is still far away from its true world hegemony. To put it bluntly, the United Kingdom  It is still the most influential country in the world, followed by the United States. In terms of influence and international status, China is only on the same level as France, Germany and the Soviet Union.

    Britain¡¯s current China policy is very contradictory. On the one hand, it knows that China¡¯s military and economic strength is much greater than that of Britain.  On the other hand, they are deeply mired in the traditional Anglo-Saxon theory of white supremacy. Many people look down on China and Asians. Simply put, the British feel that it is natural for China and Asians to respect them.  It was decided by God, and the British and the British government are willing to respect China and maintain equal exchanges. This is something that China must cherish especially, because this is a gift from the British to Asians.

    Britain has never lacked outstanding and visionary politicians, but to be fair, the vast majority of politicians in its House of Lords and House of Commons are still very vulgar.  Very worldly and lacking in real political vision.

    Britain actually does not realize that China is willing to have a direct military conflict with it, so as to teach it a lesson and completely defeat the so-called British Empire.  It has always believed that China is indeed very strong now, but it must still be very cautious when encountering the British Empire.

    This is a very important misjudgment in the political circles of the British Empire and the entire national society.

    Second, Britain¡¯s understanding of the Asian Union is very shallow.  It evaluates the Asian League based on the supremacy of strength and always considers it to be a vassal of the Chinese Empire.  Similar to the British Commonwealth it dominates, it is actually a very serious misjudgment.

    It is undeniable that China occupies the sole and highest leadership position in the Asian Association, but within the Asian Cooperation Association, the member states are actually very equal.

    In the Asian League during this period, countries from the Arab world accounted for the majority of seats, especially Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. These are member states with strong anti-British sentiments, except for Iran, which China has long supported and attracted.  The military strength of other countries in the Kingdom is not strong, but they have a very good strategic position, have very important voting rights within the Asian Alliance, and the right to propose motions.

    The British believe that China is now at war with the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, and has very few military forces deployed in South and West Asia, and is unable to deploy troops to South Asia. This is a good opportunity for the British Empire to take the opportunity to strengthen its rule over the South Asian colonies and eliminate Japanese rebel organizations.  Therefore, the British army's suppression in Pakistan was very bloody, and completely angered the surrounding Islamic countries and most of the member states within the Asian Alliance.

    After Britain dispatched a large-scale army into Pakistan for the second time, Imperial Prime Minister Gu Weijun immediately entrusted Speaker of Parliament Wang Zhaoming as the Prime Minister¡¯s Special Envoy to urgently visit the Asian League members in Iran and Afghanistan in West Asia.?? On December 20, 1940, at a special stage when the Sino-Soviet war was still progressing urgently, the Asian Union Council passed a tough new resolution in Beijing - "requiring the United Kingdom to cease its military activities in Pakistan and other countries"  Military operations in Asian colonies must be carried out through negotiations to reach a consensus on autonomy or independence with each Asian colony. If Britain continues to engage in military expansion and bloody suppression in Asia, killing innocent people in Asia, the Asian League will reserve the right to take comprehensive military action against Britain.  right."

    On the surface, the Asian League only stated that it "reserves the right to take comprehensive military action against the United Kingdom", but this is indeed because China's main military forces are concentrated in the Soviet Union and Japan, and the Central Asian Army previously organized by the Asian League is also deployed in Kazakhstan.  , in a short period of time, it is still very difficult for the Asian League to put together a formal large-scale force.

    King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia flew to Beijing on New Year's Day in a special plane to meet with Hua Huang. At this time, Ibn Saud actually represented the collective opinions of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other Islamic member states of the Asian League, and made a strong request to Hua Huang.  Give more military support to their Pakistani brethren, send troops to form the Southern Alliance of the Asian Alliance, and severely punish the British.

    This is the current reality of the Asian Union. Except for China, the quasi-world hegemon, the other member states do not have the strength to compete with world powers like the United Kingdom. Even combined, they cannot defeat the United Kingdom. When it comes to money, except for Iran and Brunei, they still have some money.  Saudi Arabia is not very rich now.

    At this stage, world oil prices are still very low, and Saudi Arabia and Iraq do not exploit much oil. The current major oil exporting countries are still the traditional United States, the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan, and Iran, followed by Brunei, because Brunei¡¯s main oil exports are  It is exported to China, and for China, the cost of importing oil from Brunei is the lowest.

    Generally speaking, the hatred of the United Kingdom among the members of the Asian League has always been very strong, and they demand war.  But they basically don't have much money and don't have much real military strength, so they can only continue to ask China to send troops. All they can do is give all the support they can, although everyone's strength is very small.  But everyone is willing to give their full support, no matter what.

    Emperor Song Biao was very cautious about this. It was not until New Year's Day, when Crown Prince Yuhua personally sent King Saudi Arabia back to his country, that Emperor Song Biao made up his mind to recall Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao from the Japanese battlefield and set up the Fourth Staff Bureau to prepare for the Tajik Autonomous Province.  New war.

    In addition to Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao, Emperor Song Biao was still nepotistic and once again sent his prospective son-in-law Su Bin to the Fourth Staff Bureau.  Prepare to form a new Tenth Army as the main force in this decisive battle.

    Before New Year¡¯s Day, the total number of members of the Imperial Navy, Army, and Air Force had expanded to 10 million, an increase of 3.7 times compared to 1937, and military expenditures increased 5.5 times compared to 1937.  The huge military expenditures put great financial pressure on the central government. Therefore, in accordance with the requirements of the Central Military Department of the Empire, the military expenditures of the Southern Allied Forces were increased.  The Asian League will bear a larger share.

    After the New Year¡¯s Day holiday, Emperor Song Biao also flew to the three provinces of Western Xinjiang for inspection on a special plane.

    After the Sino-Soviet War.  The empire unified the territory occupied from Central Asia into the Western Xinjiang Province. Its territorial jurisdiction extends from Lake Balkhash in the north to Afghanistan in the south. It is also an important basis for the empire to participate in Central Asian affairs and trade with Central and Western Asia. With the population policy and local  With the development of the economy, Xijiang Province was reorganized into Ili Province, Kyrgyz Autonomous Province, and Tajik Autonomous Province in 1935, that is, the three provinces of Xijiang in the empire's territory, plus the Kashmir Autonomous Province, Altai Province, and Xinjiang Autonomous Province occupied by the empire.  , ** autonomous province, also collectively known as the seven western provinces.

    Compared with other western provinces, due to their close proximity to Central Asia, rich local mineral resources and good natural environment, as well as the large-scale infrastructure investment plan formulated by the empire to stabilize the western frontier and West Asia, the economy of the three western Xinjiang provinces has declined in the past ten years.  It has been developing very fast over the years.

    For the three provinces of Western Xinjiang, the empire has always adopted a policy of internal and external population migration, encouraging Tajiks, Kyrgyz, and Kazakhs to migrate to the north, Mongolia, and the Far East. It also encourages Chinese to migrate to this area, which complicates the local population and is beneficial to  Central government control.

    In terms of the division of provincial jurisdictions, the Imperial Prime Minister assigned the northern part of Kyrgyz traditional areas, including the Bishkek region, to Ili Province. Through political consultation and negotiation, the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan was assigned to the Kyrgyz Autonomous Province, while Afghanistan was placed on the Chihe River tributary.  The Faizabad area on the east side is included in the Tajik Autonomous Province.

    In a series of adjustments, the central government of the empire effectively disrupted the population situation of Tajik and Kyrgyz countries, so that the native populations of Tajik and Kyrgyz countries could only barely maintain a proportion of half, and could not form a basis for moving toward independence.

    The capital city of the Tajik Autonomous Province is Dusabin, an emerging industrial city built with funding from the central government.

    The first day Emperor Song Biao flew to inspect the three provinces of Western XinjiangThe first stop was Suiye City. After remembering Li Bai's hometown city, he flew to Danggara again. The Fourth Staff Bureau of the Imperial Central Military Department was temporarily located here. In terms of military district jurisdiction, this place belonged to Almaty.  military region.

    The Central Defense Forces stationed in the Tajik Autonomous Province is the 45th Armored Division. It belongs to the integrated armored division sequence of the elite main force of the empire. It was formerly the 10405th Tank Regiment of the 4th Armored Division. It was stationed in Xijiang Province and expanded into a division from 1930.  It was classified as a special combat division in 2006, representing the highest level of armored forces in the empire. The 10th Group Army, which Major General Su Bin was responsible for preparing, was based on this division.

    When Emperor Song Biao's special plane Dongfang Emperor No. 1 arrived at Dusaibin Air Force Airport, it was the busiest moment here. After the battle of Kazan in the northwest, the Air Force's 221st and 222nd Transport Divisions immediately moved to Xinjiang and Lanzhou Air Force Bases  , responsible for transporting supplies and troops to Tajikistan.

    The Altai Group Army has just completed its formation and canceled its original military appointments. It was transported directly to Samarkand, the capital of Uzbekistan, via the Central Asia Railway. The Central Asia Group Army is stationed in Kazakhstan.  The military forces responsible for encircling and suppressing the Bolsheviks and eliminating them can no longer be transferred south. The only ones that can be allocated to the Fourth Staff Bureau are the newly formed Tenth Army and the Altai Group Army. The Eighth Army, which was originally affiliated with the Northern Alliance, will move south at the end of the month and will also be transferred to the Altai Group.  Commanded by the Fourth Staff Bureau.

    This means that the Northern Alliance Army will only have about 800,000 land troops in the future. Fortunately, the degree of mechanization is relatively high, which is enough to deal with the British colonial army in Pakistan.

    Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao came to pick up the plane together. On the way to accompany Emperor Song Biao to the military headquarters, Xue Yue, as the temporary commander-in-chief of the Northern Alliance Army, introduced the current preparations of the Northern Alliance Army to the emperor.  and the response of the British Army during this time.

    The whole of Britain was in an uproar over the fact that the Empire and the Asian League were planning to intervene militarily in Britain. The British, who were addicted to white supremacy and Anglo-Saxon superiority, were surprisingly angry. The high profile and excitement of the media made it impossible for the Conservative government to  any room for maneuver

    Chamberlain¡¯s Conservative government had no choice but to resort to loud rebuke and intimidation.  Although they tried to negotiate with the empire through other channels, they were also deploying troops on a large scale and posing as if they would not hesitate to start a world war for the benefit of the colonies and the British Empire.

    In this regard, Xue Yue's evaluation is that the fox is pretending to be the tiger's power.

    He does not deny the combat level, equipment and military quality of the British army, but it is irrational for Britain to travel thousands of miles to South Asia to fight a large-scale war with China.

    Although the empire faces the difficulties of three-front warfare, as long as the Soviet war ends quickly.  It is expected that before May next year, the Imperial Army will be able to mobilize a large number of four armies to go south, and the Navy can fight the British decisively at any time. How on earth is the British going to fight this battle?

    Xue Yue doesn¡¯t think the British have a better solution.

    On the surface.  The United Kingdom can mobilize a large number of troops and materials from India, but with the degree of cooperation of the Indians and India's industrial level and foundation, the possibility of being the main force to support this war is extremely low.

    Once the British navy is defeated.  The army's defeat in the South Asian battlefield was a matter of time, and the empire would then be able to sweep all the British colonies around the world.

    From this perspective.  The combat strength of the British Navy determines the name of the UK. However, the most dangerous thing about the UK is precisely the navy it relies on to dominate the world.

    If the British Navy wants to use its battleship fleet to fight the Empire's aircraft carrier fleet, it will definitely be the most ridiculous decision. In terms of the total strength of the aircraft carrier fleet, the Imperial Navy is more than five times the British Navy.

    With the Imperial Navy¡¯s new 50,000-ton aircraft carrier entering service next year, the naval gap between China and Britain will further widen.

    On the way to the headquarters, Xue Yue discussed his thoughts. Although he did not have many troops, he was still very confident in taking over Britain.

    This ambition and morale are very good.

    Emperor Song Biao praised it very much.

    The emperor's car drove through the main road in the city. In Emperor Song Biao's view, Dusabin could only be regarded as a medium-sized emerging city in the empire's territory. The whole city looked very new, and most of the buildings were built in the past twenty years.  Constructed.

    In the past few years, the empire has been considering moving the West Asian branch of the Asian League Council from Almaty to Dusabin. Now it seems that it can be done. In the entire Central and Western Asia, the geographical location of Dusabin City is very suitable.  Serves as a center for political meetings and diplomacy.

    Unlike Xinjiang, the Tajik Autonomous Province and the Kyrgyz Autonomous Province are very rich in water resources. The per capita water resources in both regions are at the upper reaches of the world. They have great development potential in agriculture, animal husbandry and industry, and agriculture, animal husbandry, and textiles  industry and mining industry are two provincesThe main pillar and driving force of economic development over the past two decades.

    With the exploitation of Tajik oil, the petrochemical industry in the Tajik Autonomous Province has also developed very rapidly.

    For many people, a strange place is the local council election in the Tajik Autonomous Province. The Social Democratic Party and the Tajik People's Party are the two major political parties in the province. The Restoration Party cannot even rank among the top three seats here. The Empire's  Democratic politics has always had a harmonious political characteristic that is different from Europe and the United States, that is, the top three political parties will always adopt a coalition to establish a provincial government or a central cabinet.

    The Tajik People¡¯s Party and the Social Democratic Party have adopted a coalition governance strategy here to exclude the more extreme Islamic Renaissance Party. This is also a secret arrangement made by the central cabinet.

    The situation here also seems to indicate that the Chinese Restorationism of the China Restoration Party is not very applicable to every province in the country.

    The advantage of the Social Democratic Party is that it focuses more on the middle and lower classes and always has a relatively reliable and stable number on the ballot, especially in border areas and provinces with poor economic development.

    Overall, Song Biao is very satisfied with the situation in the Tajik Autonomous Province.  The empire is a country with very flexible policies and systems. For such autonomous provinces, the empire allocates relatively large rights. As for Guangxi and the four northern provinces, although they also have the name of autonomous provinces, the actual authority of these provinces is the same as that of other provinces.  Not much difference.

    For the Tajik Autonomous Province and the Kyrgyz Autonomous Province, they are actually unwilling to break away from the empire. As long as they compare it with nearby Afghanistan, India, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, they will clearly understand the benefits of staying within the empire's territory.

    As one of the costs.  This province must adopt a bilingual system in education. Chinese language performance is the most important indicator for many local people, which will determine whether they can receive the best higher education.

    Twenty years ago, when Xijiang Province was established, its economic scale was far smaller than that of India.  It is even far inferior to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Now, the combined economic output of the three provinces of Western Xinjiang is twice that of India, and it is much better than Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

    In terms of the economic scale of the Tajik Autonomous Province alone, it is equivalent to three-quarters of India. However, if we compare this province with the inland provinces, and then compare it with the three eastern provinces, the three provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the economic pillars of the empire such as Beijing, Tianjin, and Luan  Region 1 comparison.  That's too big a gap.

    ??At least in the eyes of Emperor Song Biao, Dusaibin City was equivalent to the level of a directly governed county on the eastern coast of the empire, but even so, it was already one of the most prosperous industrial cities in Central Asia.

    After arriving at the military headquarters.  Emperor Song Biao, accompanied by Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao, inspected the Tenth Army that was being formed. The United Kingdom was now in a position to fight decisively. The empire was forming the Tenth Army, and the British Empire was also forming the Indian colonial army.  He really has the momentum to fight to the death with the Empire.

    ¡°If you open any newspaper in London now, you can almost see commentary articles related to imperial affairs.  In short, China was very powerful, but it was still defeated by the British Empire in the Opium War. Moreover, the British Empire only sent a few small ships.

    In short, you will think that the British are ridiculous, but in the long history of mankind, such ridiculous things have always happened. From the 7th century BC to the 21st century, mankind seems to have never really progressed.

    The fact is that Emperor Song Biao seemed very casual. He didn't even feel there was anything to be nervous about the possible outbreak of a Sino-British war.

    At the temporary headquarters, Song Biao listened patiently to Xue Yue's analysis of the current situation. According to Xue Yue's vision, once China and Britain went to war, even if it was not certain that the British Indian colonial army would be annihilated, it would be able to deter Britain's will to fight.  , or completely anger the British, the Southern Allied Forces should annihilate the Indian colonial army as soon as possible, because the key to this decisive battle lies not in the army, but in the navy. As long as the imperial navy defeats the British army, it can completely eliminate the British attempt to invade India  Any intention of a decisive battle.

    Out of this kind of thinking, Xue Yue hopes to recruit troops from Iran, Uzbekistan and other countries on a large scale, expand the total number of troops of the Southern Allied Forces, and force the British to deploy more troops to defend India before the decisive battle. The advantage of this is that it will also force the British to increase army expenditures.  .

    Once the naval battle is ahead, it will be more difficult for the British colonial government to maintain a long-term policy in India because of the huge army.

    Although this strategy will put the Southern Allied Forces under greater pressure in the short term, Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao insist that the cost is worth it, at least strategically it will pull the United Kingdom into making an incorrect decision.

    After listening to Xue Yue¡¯s proposal, Emperor Song Biao thought about it for a long time without giving any reply. He felt that no matter what strategy he adopted,It doesn't matter, the most critical thing now is the decisive battle between the navies.

    In fact, the British Empire is not ready for a real decisive battle. Its fleets are scattered in various naval bases. The First Fleet has not yet set sail for India. At the Indian naval bases and Singapore, the existing military strength of the British Navy is not an empire at all.  Navy rivals.

    ¡°What does the UK think? Does it want to fight? How does it want to fight?

    Song Biao feels that Britain is still in a very chaotic state. Of course, if the Imperial Navy first launches a devastating attack on the British Navy's Straits Settlements Fleet in the South Pacific, Britain will suddenly wake up.  We are really going to fight to the death with the Empire.

    Now is a very chaotic moment. The British did mobilize their troops to violently suppress the Pakistani uprising. However, under the control of the Empire's Central Military Intelligence Department, there were also new uprising movements in Malaya, Assam and Burma. This made the British  It was embarrassing and a headache.

    A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

    The British Empire is still one of the largest naval hegemons in the world after the Chinese Navy. The problem is that the main forces of both fleets are located at opposite ends of the world. The British Navy, knowing that the odds are against it, are unwilling to go to Asia, and the Imperial Navy has no reason to do so.  Go to the Atlantic Ocean.

    Start from getting on the plane.  Song Biao has been thinking about Britain's true intentions. To be honest, he can't guess it, and he doesn't know what Britain is thinking now.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of a big threat, will this matter be over?

    ??If this is what the UK thinks.  Then it is really wrong. China itself really doesn't matter, but those who really won't give up are Iran, members of the Asian League that were once colonized by the British, and China is just the leader of the Asian League.  We must come out to fight this battle and ask the UK to handle this matter in accordance with the collective opinions of the Asian League.

    Diplomacy.

    Diplomacy.

    Britain must be allowed to think clearly and fight.  Just be serious. The empire is not afraid that you are serious. It is afraid that you are not serious. Even your strategic intentions are vague and the empire does not know why.  If you don't want to fight, then you should act according to the Asian League's initiative and show a sincere attitude.

    So after Xue Yue put forward his opinion, Emperor Song Biao did not make any statement.  Neither he nor Xue Yue.  They can only wait now. The reason why Song Biao wanted to inspect the Tajik Autonomous Province in person was not because he was idle, nor because he was nervous, nor because he was faced with a powerful enemy and had to take charge personally, but because he wanted to tell the British through his actions that the empire was  This time I really want you to act in accordance with the resolutions of the Asian League, otherwise you will really have no choice but to go to war.

    The Asian League is the sharpest foundation and weapon for the empire to dominate the world. It is definitely not a political vase of the empire. The empire is really sincere in doing a good job in the Asian League. As a long-term intercontinental alliance organization, it will safeguard the empire and the entire Asian collective.  Interests, this means that the empire cannot only obtain resources, markets, privileges and benefits from the Asian Alliance, but must also shoulder its own responsibilities and work.

    The empire may not be the world¡¯s police now, but at least it is really the police of Asia, and it is the special police of Asia.

    To put it bluntly, the reason why the various member states of the Asian League want to follow the empire's lead is to give the empire all the privileges and benefits it wants. They want bases for bases, ports for ports, open markets, resources to sell resources, and gold to sell.  Gold, oil, and oil are all in the hope that at the critical moment, the Chinese Empire can support us with its strength and help us deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction.

    This is a mutual relationship, everyone gets what he needs.

    ??The empire wants to attack Japan, and everyone supports you to fight Japan. The empire wants to fight the Soviet Union, and everyone supports you to fight the Soviet Union. Now everyone wants to fight the United Kingdom, and the empire can just sit back and watch?

    The UK just doesn¡¯t understand this problem right now. Does it really not understand the seriousness of the situation?

    It feels that China will not go to war with these small Islamic countries for the interests of these small Islamic countries. It is not worth it and cannot afford the damage. In fact, it is really wrong. This is just like China believes that the United States will not go to war with China for the sake of Japan and Taiwan. This is wrong.

    ¡°In any international organization, while you enjoy privileges, you must also bear special responsibilities.

    Emperor Song Biao actually warned Britain in another way, hoping that Britain would rationally negotiate with him to solve the problem. Even if this issue is negotiated, it will be difficult. It is not that China does not want to defeat Britain. It is true that military spending is very tight. In the event of a big disaster,  If they fight, the whole world will be in complete chaos. If the empire wants to deal with Nazi Germany later, it may not be so easy.

    How did China directly start a war with Britain, and it was not a small-scale battle, but a large-scale Sino-British war? Will Britain help Germany or join forces with Germany?

    There are many problems here.

    So, Song Biao arrived in TajiAfter the Croatian Autonomous Province, he not only inspected the troops, but also continued to visit Afghanistan and Iran on special planes. Afghanistan has no money, but there are many people. It is on the front line of the war and has a deep hatred for the United Kingdom. They will need to sacrifice their lives when the time comes.  .

    Iran has been rich in recent years. It has money and equipment. Not only does it have to bear more military expenditures, but it also has to go to war with the Imperial Army and Navy.

    Seeing Hua Huang's itinerary, Britain must have realized the seriousness of the problem. Prime Minister Chamberlain was also reluctant to go to war, but he had no way to meet the collective demands of the Asian Alliance. War was already the only option between China and Britain.  .
