No matter how tough the British government is, it is actually unwilling to go to war with China at all, especially when it is convinced that China really wants to fight the decisive battle with Britain in Asia.

After the Central Ministry of Defense gave a severe warning to Britain about the upcoming entry of the Indian Ocean by the main force of the British Navy, while being warned, the UK also became more aware that China is willing to negotiate with the UK on behalf of the Asian League and the UK through negotiations.

For Prime Minister Winston Churchill, this is very good news. Unlike his newly formed a wartime cabinet, China has basically ended the Sino-Japanese and Sino-Soviet war. The large-scale army, air force and navy are heading to the South Asian continent.

Transfer, the British troops stationed in South Asia can be crushed into pieces at any time.

On the other hand, France and the United States have refused to express their support for Britain, and China and Germany are about to reach a formal agreement to divide the Soviet-occupied areas. In this case, it is extremely unwise to go to war with China, which is at its peak in the military.

The choice.

No matter how stubborn and tenacious Prime Minister Winston Churchill wanted to maintain the former glory and dignity of the British Empire, the facts were cruel after all.

After the Chinese Ministry of Defense issued a warning, the British navy was forced to withdraw its navy that had arrived in Somalia, docked its fleet on the south side of the Suez Canal in Egypt, and did not enter the Indian Ocean again.

British Foreign Minister Sir Halifax rushed to Beijing to hold the second round of Sino-British talks with Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi of the Central Cabinet to hold new negotiations on South Asia. Behind the scenes, Prime Minister Gu Weijun proposed four basics of China and the Asian Cooperation Alliance

Conditions - First, the UK should immediately recognize the autonomy of Pakistan, Assam, Bangladesh, and Malaya, give up its sovereignty over Oman, Qatar and other Arab regions, and recognize the complete ** of this region; Second, the UK should

Promising to gradually withdraw troops in Southeast Asia and allow Singapore and surrounding Chinese regions to hold referendums to vote for political status; third, Britain promises to resolve the autonomy of all Asian colonies within a certain time limit and stop colonial hegemony in Asia; fourth, China and Britain hold

A new round of bilateral territory negotiations lays the foundation for further promoting ** autonomy in various regions in Southwest Asia.

In the view of China and the Asian League Council, the four basic conditions proposed by China are not excessive, but in actual negotiations, they were rejected by the UK from the beginning. The UK cannot be said to be arrogant or lose its rationality.

But it is true that such a large-scale concession condition cannot be accepted. In the words of Sir Halifax, if such conditions must be accepted, Britain would rather fight.

After a month of negotiations, the two sides were still unable to reach an agreement because the gap was too large.

At this time, the global focus is on the talks between China and Britain and Beijing. It seems that everyone is very clear that if China and Britain cannot reach an agreement at the last moment, China and Britain will set off a real world war.

The special envoys of the United States and France arrived in Beijing one after another to participate in the talks, hoping to mediate the two countries to reach an agreement. The great powers of all countries still hope that Britain would give in. First of all, Britain does not take any reason. After all, dozens of Asian countries have unanimously demanded that Britain withdraw.

It is impossible to leave Asia to make so many countries make major concessions to the UK, not to mention that the UK is not as powerful as it used to be.

The meeting was scheduled to be held at the Zhongnanhai State Guesthouse in Beijing. The atmosphere was tense during the talks, and the conflicts between the two sides were very fierce. The Iranian ambassador scolded and scolded the British Foreign Minister Sir Halifax several times in front of many international diplomatic officials.

Ask Britain to get out of Asia.

By mid-May 1941, both sides could basically confirm that the negotiations had failed in the end. On the four basic conditions proposed by China, the UK could only accept part of Article 3 and Article 1, even in Article 3.

Among them, the maximum period proposed by the Asian League is ten years, while the United Kingdom requires a 30-year period to gradually resolve the issue of British colonial autonomy in Asia.

That night, China, Britain, the United States and France held a final negotiation in the second to last round. In order to reach an agreement, the United Kingdom made some new concessions at the last moment and agreed to allow Pakistan, Assam, Bangladesh, and Malaya within two years.

Autonomy, agreed to withdraw from Oman and promised to withdraw from the navy in the Persian Gulf region, even so, China still could not accept this condition.

The negotiations did not end until around 11 o'clock in the evening. After that, Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi immediately went to the central cabinet to report. At around 1 o'clock in the morning, the Central Cabinet Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi went to the Central Palace to meet the Emperor Hua.

Song Biao didn't sleep that night, and he was waiting for news.

The Central Military Department has made preparations. As long as he approves the military's combat plan, the 10th Army and the 8th Army will go south to attack Pakistan and India, while the Central Asian Army will go south from Iraq and Saudi Arabia to liberate the Arabian Peninsula.

Emirates on the .

In Southeast Asia, the Imperial Navy will give priority to eliminating the British Strait Fleet in Singapore, and before the main force of the British navy arrives in the Persian Gulf, it will send a main aircraft carrier formation to the Persian Gulf to eliminate the main force of the British Navy.

During the Sino-British talks, both sides were constantly strengthening their garrison and air force in South Asia, but in this synchronous expansion, Britain was far less fierce than the Empire. Many armies transferred by the Empire from the North have arrived in Afghanistan and

Iran.

The Central Military Department has been planning for a long time. Just waiting for the central government to declare the breakdown of the negotiations and the final authorization of the Asian League Council, the Imperial Defense Forces will fight undeclared and annihilate the British army in the name of the Asian League South Asian Alliance.

In the quiet and solemn office, after listening to the report from Foreign Minister Guo Taiqi, Song Biao kept thinking silently about the final answer. He finished smoking a whole Yuxi cigar without saying a word.

The last half of the remaining cigar was put out, and Song Biao made the final decision. His strong attitude and Prime Minister Gu Weijun ordered: "Suspend talks, promote a new resolution at the Asian League Council, and demand that the UK unconditionally recognize Pakistan.

Oman**, granting Assam, Bangladesh, Malaya and other Asian colonial countries autonomy, pledging to completely ban all British colonial privileges in Asia within ten years, and at the same time requiring Asian Union member states to be free and*

* Mobilize the war well and go to war with Britain at all costs. Once the Asian League starts war with the Commonwealth, the Asian League needs to immediately impose comprehensive sanctions on Britain and seal all assets of Britain in the Asian League member states to compensate Asian countries for their suffering during British colonial rule.

The damage and losses are prohibited from the circulation of pounds, and the trade is interrupted according to the resolution of the Asian League Council. If the UK cannot give a positive response to the request of the Asian League Council and the third round of active talks, the Asian League Security Joint Force will officially be held in

One month after the resolution was passed, the troops were sent to liberate Asian countries and regions."

Emperor Song Biao said this firmly and had no room for maneuver.

He admitted that the negotiation conditions opened by the Asian League Council for the UK were too high, but the UK's attitude was indeed too arrogant. After all, this was not a bilateral negotiation between China and the UK, but the Asian League Council represented the majority of the entire Asia

State negotiations with Britain.

Not to mention that Britain's current strength and international status are much worse than before, even at its heyday, the British Empire should not be so arrogant.

He can only say that Britain has no sincerity to solve the problem. Since that is the case, it is better to fight early than to fight late. If Britain hopes to delay with such a long negotiation, then they have made a mistake in the wrong plan.

Prime Minister Gu Weijun could only accept this arrangement from the emperor.

This means that the Asian League Council is willing to hold the third round of political negotiations, extending the negotiation cycle by about a month, but it will also significantly increase new conditions. If the Asian League and the United Kingdom still fail to reach an agreement in mid-June

, then there is really a war, accompanied by the war and the Asian League’s severe economic sanctions on the British Empire.

Prime Minister Gu Weijun nodded silently to agree and accepted the emperor's proposal.

Emperor Song Biao continued to think for a while, adding: "The resolution stipulates that once the sanctions against pounds prohibited circulation in Asia are passed, the validity period of this sanction order will last for thirty years."

Gu Weijun felt something was wrong and asked, "Your Majesty, is this sanction period too long?"

Emperor Song Biao replied: "It's indeed too long, but if it doesn't happen, it will not be able to truly threaten Britain. We must let Britain understand a simple truth. If a war starts, as long as Britain does not defeat us, we will be completely

The continued sanctions against the UK will cost the UK the most painful price.”

Gu Weijun had no choice but to agree again and nodded to say yes.

Emperor Song Biao also ordered: "After the second resolution against Britain of the Asian League Council is passed, we will arrange for Sir Halifax to meet. I am willing to talk with him in person."

"yes!"

Prime Minister Gu Weijun continued to agree. In fact, he knew very well that the battlefield was inevitable in the end. He knew very well that the emperor did not support the launch of this war now, but the emperor also had more concerns.

Not only the emperor, but also the entire empire and the Asian League member states, could not allow Britain to reach an agreement with a very small concession.

This is because I don’t want to start a war, but I have to start a war.

In the early morning of that day, Emperor Song Biao had not slept. He then urgently summoned Chen Jin, the central bank and the main person in charge of the Central Reserve Bureau to the General Office to discuss various economic problems that may be caused by the Asian League once the agreement is passed.

Have done a full discussion.

It can be confirmed that once the Asian League starts imposing sanctions on the UK, especially after confiscating British assets in Asia and banning the circulation of pounds, the UK economy will suffer a devastating blow, and the pound will fall directly from the throne, and countries around the world will

The foreign exchange reserves of the pound will be reduced to waste paper.

It will be a very terrible thing in the entire international financial market.

In addition to military wars, financial wars are also a special weapon that the empire can use. Now, the empire decided to use this weapon, and Emperor Song Biao decided to promote this agreement in the Asian League for this plan.

...

The next day, China and the UK temporarily interrupted the Beijing talks and urgently decided to hold a new round of the Asian League Council's Foreign Minister's Meeting in Guangzhou.

On that night, Chen Jin, the Minister of Finance of the Imperial Central Cabinet, secretly summoned the Central Bank President Zhang Jialiang, the President of the Far East Consortium Chen Guangfu, the General Secretary of the Jiangnan Consortium Dong Yuqiaqing, the General Secretary of the Central Reserve Bureau Zhang Huici, as well as CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC, CITIC,

Four presidents of China Investment’s four major government trust companies and six expert consultants in the fields of finance and economics of the Central Economic Commission, a total of 15 people secretly held a special meeting in the Summer Palace, launching an unprecedented scale against the UK.

Financial wars are being discussed.

This meeting is very important, it should be the first time in human history that the government launched a financial war against governments, and it may also be the only time that publicly decrypted government documents can be verified.

At this time, the Chinese Empire accounted for a huge proportion of 40.3 in the world's total economy, while the United States' proportion was 22.4. The sum of China and the United States reached 62.7 in the world's GDP, while the once magnificent and arrogant British Empire only accounted for

7 ratio.

In the international market, due to Britain's traditional international status and its vast colonies, coupled with China and the United States' long-term policy of maintaining the status quo over the past twenty years, the British pound still occupies 30 of the world's currency circulating, which is why Britain dares to confront China

The foundation of saying no to the Asian League is also its most fragile weakness.

It is this abnormal situation that determines that the pound is the most fragile among the three major international currencies, the Chinese dollar, and the pound, and the most easily defeated international currencies.

Central Bank Governor Zhang Jialiang proposed a very reasonable plan, which is to significantly borrow pounds from other financial institutions to sell them, and run Britain's gold reserves. Once the pound is banned from circulation in Asia, Britain's gold reserves will collapse in an instant.

In the end, the pound will inevitably depreciate significantly. With this depreciation, the prices in the UK will also soar several times. If the UK announces the suspension of gold exchange to maintain its gold reserves, since the pound will soon be unable to circulate in Asia, it will be even more of a lot.

Waste paper, pound pound and British bonds in the international market will depreciate on a larger scale, and this series of changes is enough to pull Britain to the abyss hell.

At the same time, everyone also realized that the entire world economy was also dragged down from the abyss hell together.

This is likely to be a new economic crisis no less than the Great Depression.

Emperor Song Biao and Prime Minister Gu Weijun also realized that launching a financial war against Britain would inevitably lead to a world financial crisis and a larger economic depression. The emperor and Prime Minister needed the Ministry of Finance and the four major government trust companies to make a reasonable inference.

, confirm how much the empire and Asia will be involved, and under what circumstances will Asia be affected by a smaller impact, and even benefit more in the long run.

After three days of secret discussion, the 15 giants and experts who participated in the secret meeting of the Summer Palace reached a consensus conclusion, and the Minister of Finance Chen Jin reported this conclusion to Prime Minister Gu Weijun and His Majesty Hua.

The meeting finally believed that the impact on Asia and the China Economic Zone would be relatively small, while Europe would be hit the most, followed by the United States and Central and South America, and then France.

France's economy is relatively closed. The trade volume between the entire France and colonial economies and Britain and the United States is relatively low. The franc itself is the fourth international currency. International trade between the franc economic zone and the China Economic Zone

Also the widest.

Other European countries and the Commonwealth, the British colonies as a whole still have the main foreign exchange reserves. These countries form a relatively stable Atlantic trade structure with the United States. Once the pound collapses, the impact will be suffered by European and European colonial countries.

It will be very amazing. With the chaos and sharp depreciation of international currencies, international trade will be almost interrupted, and the United States will be greatly affected.

Subsequently, the economic crisis will spread to China and Central and South America.
