Chapter 325 Asian League(1/2)
While the top political leaders of the central government were preparing for a major political change based on the long-term future, a large-scale anti-British riot uprising broke out in South Asia and Pakistan.
After the end of the Sandu-Ao Naval Battle, Britain has been actively trying to change its navy and purchase more aircraft carriers in an effort to regain the leadership of the British Empire's navy worldwide. As we all know, the navy is the most expensive army in the world.
The attempt to regain the naval hegemony in a short time is not a realistic goal for the financially tense British Empire, but Britain still resolutely did this. In order to solve the financial lack, Britain strengthened its efforts to Asia on the one hand.
The control of the colonies also significantly added new taxes and apportionments, which further led to the rise of the anti-British wave in various colonies.
Unlike the Indian Nationalist Party's non-cooperation boycott movement, Pakistan is close to Afghanistan, China and Iran, and its tribes have more opportunities to obtain weapons and ammunition, and they have adopted military forces more extremely in the anti-British colonial movement.
The British have always supported Indians more on the issue of India and Pakistan, and in Pakistan, they tend to suppress and conquer by force.
Even if the Asian Alliance did not involve the Kazakh and Korean Wars, the arrogant British Empire would not be ruthless in the Pakistani region it ruled. What's more, China is going to war with the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, and the main military forces are deployed in the northwest and northeastern regions.
The UK took the opportunity to carry out a large-scale military repression in the Pakistani region, concentrating its military power in South Asia in this area.
The military conflict between the British army and the local Islamic ** organization caused large-scale casualties, which completely angered other Islamic countries within the Asian League.
The British Empire made two mistakes on this issue. One is that it underestimated the Chinese Empire's determination to fight it. After Eurocentrism lasted for hundreds of years, the British still maintained that kind of situation in the face of the Chinese Empire's rise again.
The arrogant white man's theory of superiority. In fact, this is also a global problem. Although China is the world's most well-deserved largest country in military and economic strength, it is still far from the real world hegemony.
To be honest, Britain is still the most influential country in the world, followed by the United States, and China can only be at the same level as France, Germany and the Soviet Union in terms of influence and international status.
The current policy toward China is very contradictory. On the one hand, it knows that China's military and economic strength is much higher than that of Britain. On the other hand, it is deeply trapped in the traditional Anglo-Saxon theory of white superiority, and many of them look down on China and
Asians, to put it simply, the British think that it is right and natural to respect it. God decides, while the British and the British government are willing to respect China, and maintaining equal exchanges is something that China must cherish especially.
Things, because this is a gift from the British to Asians.
Britain has never lacked excellent visionary politicians, but to be fair, in its House of Lords and House of Commons, the vast majority of politicians are still very vulgar, very secular, and lack real political vision.
The UK actually did not realize that China was willing to have a positive military conflict with it, so it was taught a lesson and completely defeated the so-called British Empire. It always believed that China is indeed very strong now, but when it met them, Britain
The empire must be very cautious.
This is a very important misjudgment in the political circle of the British Empire and the entire country and society.
Secondly, the UK has a very shallow understanding of the Asian League. It evaluates the Asian League based on the theory of strength first, and always believes that it is a vassal of the Chinese Empire. It is similar to the Commonwealth it dominated, and it is actually a very powerful misjudgment.
.
It is undeniable that China occupies the only supreme leadership position in the Asian Alliance, but within the Asian Cooperation Alliance, the member states are actually very equal.
During this period, the Arab countries accounted for the majority of the seats in the Asian League, especially Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. These are members with strong anti-British sentiment, except for Iran, which China has long supported and wooed.
The kingdoms and other countries have not strong military strength, but they have a good strategic position, have very important voting rights within the Asian League, and the right to file a bill.
The UK believes that China is now going to war with the Soviet Union and Japan at the same time, and the military forces deployed in South Asia and West Asia are very small, and they are unable to mobilize troops to invest in South Asia. This is a good opportunity for the British Empire to take the opportunity to strengthen its rule over South Asian colonies and eliminate the ** rebel organizations.
Therefore, the British military's suppression in Pakistan was very bloody and completely angered the surrounding Islamic countries and most member states within the Asian League.
After Britain sent large-scale troops into Pakistan for the second time, the Imperial Prime Minister Gu Weijun immediately appointed Speaker Wang Zhaoming as the Prime Minister's envoy to visit Iran, Afghanistan's member states in the West Asian region. On December 20, 1940,
In a special stage where the Sino-Soviet war is still in an emergency, the Asian League Council has passed a tough new resolution in Beijing - "requiring Britain to stop military operations in Pakistan and other Asian colonies, which must be negotiated and
The Asian colonies reached an autonomous or ** consensus that if Britain continues to adopt military expansion and bloody suppression in Asia and kills Asian people innocently, the Asian Alliance will reserve the right to take comprehensive military action against Britain."
On the surface, the Asian League only stated that it "reserved the right to take comprehensive military action against Britain", 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 the Kazakhstan region.
, In a short period of time, it is still difficult for the Asian League to piece together a formal large-scale force.
Saudi King Ibn Saudi Arabia took a special plane to Beijing to meet the Emperor Hua on New Year's Day. At this time, Ibn Saudi Arabia actually represented the collective opinions of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and other Asian League Islamic member states, and strongly requested Emperor Hua
Give their Pakistani brothers more military support, send troops to form the Asian alliance Southern coalition, and severely punish the United Kingdom.
This is the reality of the Asian League now. Except for China, the quasi-world hegemony, other member states do not have the strength to compete with world powers like Britain, and they can't even beat Britain together. If you want to talk about money, there is still some money besides Iran and Brunei. Saudi Arabia has some money.
Not very rich now.
The world oil prices at this stage are still very low. Saudi Arabia and Iraq do not produce much oil. The current major oil exporters are still traditional United States, the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan, Iran, and Brunei, because Brunei's oil is mainly
It is exported to China, and for China, the cost of importing oil from Brunei is the lowest.
In general, the hatred of the Asian League members towards Britain has always been strong and demanded a war. But they basically don’t have much money and no real military strength, so they can only continue to ask China to send troops, what they can do.
It is to give all the support you can give. Although everyone is very weak, everyone is willing to support them with all their might and will do whatever they want.
Emperor Song Biao was still very cautious about this. Until New Year's Day, Crown Prince Yuhua personally sent the Saudi king back to China. Emperor Song Biao made up his mind to recall Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao from the Japanese battlefield and form the Fourth Staff to go to the Tajik Autonomous Province to prepare.
A new war.
In addition to Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao, Emperor Song Biao also sent his prospective son-in-law Su Bin to the Fourth Staff Bureau again, preparing to form a new 10th Army as the main force for this decisive battle.
Before New Year's Day, the Imperial Navy, Army and Air Force chiefs had expanded to 10 million, a 3.7-fold increase compared with 1937, while military expenditure increased by 5.5 times compared with 1937. The huge military expenditure was huge on the financial pressure of the central government.
Therefore, according to the requirements of the Central Military Department of the Imperial Army, the Asian Alliance will bear a greater part of the military expenditure of the Southern Alliance.
After the New Year's Day holiday, Emperor Song Biao also flew to the three provinces in Western Xinjiang for inspection.
After the Sino-Soviet War, the empire unified the territory occupied by Central Asia into a Western Xinjiang province. Its territory extends to Lake Balkash in the north and 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 development of population policies and local economy, Xijiang Province was renamed Ili Province, Kyrgyz Autonomous Province, Tajik Autonomous Province, that is, the three western Xinjiang provinces in the empire's territory, plus the Kashmir Autonomous Province occupied by the empire, Altai
Province, Xinjiang Autonomous Province, ** Autonomous Province, is also collectively known as the seven western provinces.
Compared with other western provinces, because they are close to Central Asia, they have rich local mineral resources and good natural environment. In addition, the large-scale infrastructure investment plan formulated by the empire for the needs of stabilizing the western frontier and West Asia, the economies of the three western Xinjiang provinces have been in the past ten years.
It has been developing very fast during the years.
For the three provinces in western Xinjiang, the empire has always adopted a policy of population migration, encouraging Tajik, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhs to migrate to the north, Mongolia and Far East. At the same time, it also encourages Chinese to move to this area, complicating the local population and benefiting
Control of the central government.
In terms of the division of provincial jurisdictions, the imperial prime minister assigned the northern part of the traditional Kyrgyz areas, including Bishkek areas, to Yili Province, and through political consultation and negotiation, the Tashkent area of Uzbek was assigned to the Kyrgyz Autonomous Province, while Afghanistan was in the tributary of the Chi River.
The Fazabad 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 of Tajik and Kyrgyzstan, so that the population of Tajik and Kyrgyzstan could only barely remain at half of the proportion, and could not form the basis for the trend.
The capital city of Tajik Autonomous Province is Tussepin, an emerging industrial city built with the support of the central government.
The first stop for Emperor Song Biao to inspect the three provinces in Western Xinjiang was the city of Sailye. After remembering Li Bai's hometown, he flew to Dangala again. The Fourth Staff Bureau of the Central Military Department of the Empire was temporarily set up here.
Under the jurisdiction of the military region, this place belongs to the Almaty Military Region.
The Central Defense Forces, permanently stationed in Tajik Autonomous Province, is the 45th Armored Division, which belongs to the reorganized armored division sequence of the main elite of the Empire. It was formerly the 10405th Tank Regiment of the Fourth Armored Division. After stationing in Xijiang Province, it was expanded into a division from 1930.
It began to be included in the scope of the special combat division, representing the highest level of armored troops in the empire. The 10th Army, which Major General Su Bin was responsible for the construction of the 10th Army, was centered on this division.
When Emperor Biao's special plane, Dongfang Emperor 1, arrived at Tussepin Air Force Airport, this was the busiest moment. After the Battle of Kazan in the northwest, the 221st and 222nd Air Force Transportation Divisions were immediately transferred to Xinjiang and Lanzhou Air Force Bases, responsible for the
Transport materials to Tajik and transport troops.
The Altai Army had just completed its establishment work and cancelled its original military appointment and was directly transported to the Uzbek capital Samarkand through the Central Asia Railway. The Central Asia Army was stationed in the Kazakh region and was responsible for encirclement and suppression and removal of Bolshevik military armed forces. It was impossible for it to be
The transfer to the south is now the newly formed 10th Army and the Altai Army. The Eighth Army, which was originally under the Northern Alliance, will move south at the end of the month and will also be under the command of the Fourth Staff.
This means that the Northern Alliance will only have about 800,000 troops in the future. Fortunately, the degree of mechanization is high, which is enough to deal with the British colonial army currently in Pakistan.
Xue Yue and Liu Yazhao came to pick us up together. On the way to accompany Emperor Song Biao to the military headquarters, Xue Yue introduced the current preparations of the Northern Alliance as the interim commander of the Northern Alliance to the emperor and the British reaction during this period.
The whole of Britain was in an uproar about the Empire and the Asian Alliance's military intervention in Britain. The British, who were addicted to the theory of white nobleness and Anglo-Saxon superiority, were surprisingly angry. The high profile and enthusiasm of the media made the Conservative government not have any
Any room for maneuver
Chamberlain's Conservative government could only adopt loud and harsh reprimands and intimidation, and there was no other way. Although they tried to negotiate with the empire through other channels, they were also deploying troops on a large scale to be the colonies and the British Empire.
We will bring about a world war at all costs.
In this regard, Xue Yue's evaluation is that he is a fox and a tiger's power.
He did not deny the British army's combat level, equipment, and military literacy, but Britain traveled thousands of miles to South Asia to fight a large-scale war with China, which was an irrational act no matter how it was calculated.
Although the empire faces difficulties in fighting on the third line, as long as the Soviet war ends quickly, it is expected that before May next year, the Imperial Army will be able to draw a large number of four armies to go south, and the navy can fight with Britain at any time. How will Britain fight this battle?
?
Xue Yue doesn't think the British will have a better solution.
On the surface, Britain could draw a large amount of troops and supplies from India, but with the degree of cooperation of the Indians, as well as 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 on the South Asian battlefield will be a matter of time sooner or later, and the empire will then sweep all British colonies around the world.
From this perspective, the combat strength of the British navy determines the naming of Britain, but the most dangerous thing about Britain is the navy that it relies on to dominate the world.
If the British Navy wants to use its battleship formation to attack the Imperial aircraft carrier formation, 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 that of the British Navy.
As the Imperial Navy's new 50,000-ton aircraft carrier will be put into service next year, the naval gap between China and the UK will further widen.
On the way to the command center, Xue Yue talked about his ideas. Although he didn't have many troops, he was still very confident in winning the UK.
This ambition and spiritual fighting spirit are very good.
Emperor Song Biao praised it very much.
The emperor's car drove through the main road in the city. In the eyes of Emperor Song Biao, Dussepin could only be regarded as a medium-sized emerging city in the empire's territory. It looked very new overall, and most of the buildings were in the past twenty years.
Built.
In recent years, the Empire has been considering moving the Asian League Council West Asia branch from Almaty to Tussepin. Now it seems that this can be done. In the entire Central and Western Asia, the geographical location of Tussepin City is very suitable for the city of Tussepin.
As the center of political conferences and diplomacy.
Unlike Xinjiang, Tajik Autonomous Province and Kyrgyz Autonomous Province have very rich hydraulic resources. The per capita hydraulic resources in both regions are at the upper level of the world and have great development potential in agriculture, animal husbandry and industry. Agriculture, animal husbandry and textiles
