Chapter 152: Guangzhou Peace Talks(2/2)
When the British finally sent out a reconnaissance plane for aerial reconnaissance, the pilot was so frightened that he almost drove the plane into the ravine. This is what he reported to Lashio Airport:
"Report, I...I...found a continuous group of artillery pieces under my aircraft. I repeat, it is a continuous group of artillery pieces. The thick and long barrels, I am sure they are heavy artillery pieces of 120mm or above...God,
What did I see, dozens of tanks, the Chinese actually concentrated dozens of tanks... God, I can guarantee that they will be used to break through the border defense line... Oh, no, God, the Chinese anti-aircraft fire
The cannon has discovered me and is firing at me, go up..."
At this point in the report, the reconnaissance plane was shot down. The remaining three reconnaissance planes sent back later reported the same results. Unfortunately, the next three planes were even more unlucky and were directly shot down by Chinese fighter jets stationed at Ruili Airport.
into pieces.
Three days later, London, England.
"Prime Minister, this is the current situation. The Chinese have concentrated about six divisions of troops and hoarded heavy troops on the Chinese side of the China-Myanmar border. They have not launched an active attack, but intelligence from all aspects shows that their determination to fight is extremely firm.
"The Ministry of War has urgently ordered the Indian Command to mobilize two divisions of troops to support the Far East Command in Myanmar." A military adviser at the Prime Minister's residence was making a report to McDonald.
McDonald frowned and turned to ask a civil servant next to him, who was actually his diplomatic assistant, "How was Ying Gelan's discussion with Zhang Shusheng after he met him?"
The diplomatic assistant hesitated slightly, but handed the report to the Prime Minister, "Sorry, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I think you should maintain a calmer attitude before reading this report, because... the Chinese people's requirements are really real.
It’s so ridiculous.”
MacDonald took the report suspiciously and looked at it carefully. He knew that when the southwestern warlord mobilized six divisions to hoard troops on the Sino-Burmese border, there was no need to continue the Sino-British war. The empire was determined.
We will not engage in a war with the Chinese in Burma or even India where the outcome is uncertain. The aircraft carriers supporting the Far East were just launched yesterday. The maintenance is too troublesome because they have never made a voyage thousands of miles away.
However, as soon as he opened the report, Macdonald's heart tightened. For him, who was used to seeing troubles, what he saw in the report at this moment still made him uncontrollably angry.
"Bang"
Macdonald slapped his hand on the desk. The gentleman prime minister had not been so angry for a long time, and the two advisers and assistants beside him were frightened into silence.
After a long while, he closed his eyes and said, "Tell Lampson to agree to the Chinese peace talks in Guangdong."
It wasn't until the two assistants left that he opened his eyes. His eyes that should have been filled with anger turned out to be so indifferent at the moment. "A leader with a tough style, an economy that has just entered the top seven in the world, a team with a style
A tenacious army that is not afraid of death. China's rise is unstoppable, so let us create more obstacles and thorns for it."
Looking around the Prime Minister's Office with nostalgia, he didn't know whether he could continue to sit in this office that symbolized the Prime Minister's power when the negotiations began or ended.
"Perhaps, retirement is also a good choice."
I am very grateful to Brother Baojiuzo for the large reward. I am excited that another grandmaster has appeared. Brother Baojiuzo has given great support, and the fan points are just a hair away from the leader.
