It is certain that we still have to fight the decisive battle with the British Navy. We need to hurry up, the sooner the better.”

Gu Weijun couldn't help but think for a moment and replied: "I will have appropriate arrangements."

Song Biao did not doubt this. Those who could become the prime minister of the empire always had extraordinary talents, and Gu Weijun's most outstanding talents were his diplomatic skills and international vision.

Gu Weijun's idea was fully revealed. After all, he had to use Islamic countries such as Iran to confront Britain. In this way, Britain was afraid of China's strength and could not carry out military operations. He gradually retreated in the expansion of the entire Asian League until he lost his influence and colonies in Asia.

Although Song Biao doubted the effectiveness of this method and the possibility of eventually avoiding the war, he was still willing to support Prime Minister Gu Weijun to rule according to his own ideas.

...

Due to the large gap in military strength, even with anger at the empire's expansionism in the southwestern frontier, Britain was still willing to settle the dispute in a negotiated manner. In early August, Prime Minister Chamberlain sent Sir Halifax, Minister of Foreign Affairs, to the United States.

Visiting Beijing, hoping to reach a peace agreement on the Assam issue and the two sides redefine the border.

According to Prime Minister Chamberlain's authorization, Sir Halifax suggested that the division of bilateral boundaries in Dinsugiya was equivalent to recognizing the 27,000 square kilometers of area that the empire had continuously illegally occupied between fourteen years ago, and in principle, it also allowed it.

Kachin State residents have their own vote to decide the state's future status. They can choose to **, or incorporate it into China and stay in Myanmar.

Because in principle, the British side did not oppose the Chinese living in Kachin State participating in the voting, which was equivalent to a disguised recognition of the incorporation of Kachin State into the territory of the Chinese Empire.

Chamberlain, as the leader of the Conservative Party, suffered severe criticism from the Liberal Party and the Labor Party at home, but did not meet China's needs.

Gu Weijun accepted Chamberlain's proposal. He held two bilateral talks with Sir Halifax in Beijing, and finally reached conditions that both sides could accept. On the basis of the UK's concessions, both sides promised not to maintain military affairs in the southwest.

Confrontation on.

Gu Weijun, Chamberlain and Sir Halifax both had good personal relationships. Prime Minister Chamberlain also had good relationships with Emperor Song Biao during his visit to China in 1937.

The personal relationship between state leaders does help solve the problem between the two countries, but it will never be possible to solve the fundamental problem. The fundamental problem is that Britain is no longer worthy of having so many colonies, and the empire is worthy of rule in the new century.

Both China and Britain were not idle. In order to maintain their domestic support, Prime Minister Chamberlain still agreed to the proposal of the Secretary of the Navy and Liberal Party Leader Winston Churchill to increase the size of the Indian Ocean Navy and adopt a new budget in the future.

Six aircraft carriers will be built within four years and six old models of battleships will be cut.

The occurrence of the Assam incident actually only made the Sino-British conflict clearly exposed. As the strength of the British Empire further declined, the strength of the Chinese Empire continued to grow rapidly, and the conflict of interest between the two sides in Asia and the Eurasian continent will be

It will become increasingly intensified. This cannot be resolved by a single "China-English Kachin Autonomous Agreement", and it is even more impossible to resolve the conflict of interest between the two parties through this agreement.

Britain hopes that the Empire will reduce the size of the South Pacific fleet in the Port of Seribaga Bay to avoid conflicts between the two sides and writes this commitment into the Sino-English Kachin Autonomous Agreement, but the Empire refuses on the grounds of non-interference in matters.

This proposal still maintains the huge organizational scale of the South Pacific Fleet with four aircraft carriers. With the British resolution to strengthen naval garrison in the Indian Ocean, the empire also officially launched the Guetif military port in the Persian Gulf and sent two aircraft carrier fleets to settle in.

The two sides temporarily calmed the competition in the southwest region, but in Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean, a new round of competition between China and the UK began to become more intense. However, from this period, the empire and the UK will adopt more secret war policies. .

Emperor Song Biao once had a very good personal relationship with George V, and Gu Weijun and Prime Minister Chamberlain had a good relationship, but national interests are national interests, and there is nothing to be ambiguous about, just as the United States in the 21st century secretly passed To support Japan, the Philippines is like provoking China. It not only needs to attack its opponents, but also avoid the complete breakdown of bilateral relations. The best way is to support allies to provoke Britain rather than to directly come forward.
