From to 1935 2020

Huang Ke looked at Stalin, at the moment he looked like a "good-natured" elder, but he knew that there was something in the other party's words, and he was probing and testing something.

"Are you going to answer him with a politically correct lie?"

Huang Ke thought about it, and shook the idea out of his head after a few seconds.

"My mother said, who am I and what I want to do, in fact, whether it is the chairman or the prime minister, she has seen me clearly. They are the outstanding people of this era, and I am just a mediocre person. I am in the Telling this lie before Stalin...it should be deception."

"Actually, I do want it, but I don't want it too much!"

"Oh, how do you say it?"

"The reason for wanting it is exactly as you guessed. As stated in the report, the Cambodian people seem to have a good impression of the PLA and are not opposed to it. Taking here will bring various strategic benefits. Needless to say."

Huang Ke said, pointing to the large map of the world hanging on the wall in the room, took the pointer on the side, and clicked on Cambodia first.

"According to my own immature thinking, I am only hesitant to calculate the gains and losses."

"What is missing?"

"What is lost? Times have changed and nationalist ideas have risen. This is a report. No one knows whether the Cambodian people welcome being annexed by China. It is just a report. What is the real situation there? I didn't investigate it myself." However, without a referendum, no one knows what the real answer is! It is more likely that there will be no answer at all, because there are people with all kinds of ideas here, maybe not now, maybe in the future .”

There will be a small chapter in the evening. When the state is good, I will also write this small chapter, and it will be updated before two o'clock.Ask for a monthly ticket

Chapter 344 The Utilitarian (Part [-])

Huang Ke pointed the pointer at the position of the three Baltic countries of the Soviet Union.

"The relationship between Cambodia and China is farther than the relationship between the three Baltic countries and Russia. Here in the three Baltic countries, it will not be easy for the Soviet Union to completely digest them in the next few decades. The same is true for Cambodia, and it may even be worse. From political correctness From a perspective, this is actually a forced annexation. Domestic comrades, there are likely to be many people who oppose it, and according to what we Chinese say, forcibly encroaching here is an act of domineering, not a kingly way.”

Overbearing and kingly, these two words had to be translated into Russian for Stalin to understand, and Huang Ke spent a lot of effort explaining them clearly.

"Hegemony is just like what you said, directly occupying this place and declaring that this place belongs to China. The kingly way is to conquer the hearts of the people here, make the people here willingly develop a sense of identity with China, and then actively demand to be attached to China. This is not easy. This is a process that will take decades or even hundreds of years...I don’t think that the actions of the People’s Liberation Army in Cambodia in half a year can give the locals such a “royal” effect.”

"You have a population of 500 million. The population here is less than 400 million, maybe even 50 million." (The statistics of the French colonists in 370 years are 400 million. Considering the reasons for the war and omissions, I will calculate it as [-] million.)

"It is possible to swallow by force, but other factors must also be considered. The emotions of Southeast Asian countries, morality, international public opinion..."

Speaking of this, Huang Ke looked at Stalin and suddenly smiled and said, "It's like the original Mongolia, they separated with your support, but in terms of the relationship between Mongolia and China, you still admitted for a long time that they belonged to the China's."

Stalin was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Unexpectedly, after three years, you still dare to tell me the truth like this."

"Because I know I can't fool you. Lying to you will make you even angrier."

"Well, fine, go ahead, I like dealing with pragmatic people."

"Then let me tell you the truth!"

"I like to hear the truth."

The "loving father" of the Soviet Union and the "youth" from China are standing in front of the world map at this moment, speaking the absolutely "politically incorrect" "truth" that they would never speak publicly in front of people.

"Like the countries in Eastern Europe, not many like the Soviet Union. In Asia, these small countries next to China will not like China very much in the future. Because heaven is too far away, China and the Soviet Union are too close! They always feel that we These big countries always want to annex them and enslave them!"

"This is the truth!"

"Smart countries, such as North Korea, will work hard to curry favor with us, cleverly collect some wool, and get some benefits. However, once we encounter difficulties ourselves, the milk given is not enough, and Europe and the United States will give us more sugar. , no one knows what the future holds!"

"Truth! But the Soviet Union is too close, and China is too close, they won't have a chance to turn their backs!"

Stalin nodded, but confidently speaking.

"Comrade Stalin, your idea is the difference between the future of the Soviet Union and China, or the difference in the way of thinking between China and the Slavic nation."

"Ah."

"This Peter the Great, Ivan the Terrible-style solution to problems may be suitable for the Slavic peoples, but if it is placed in Eastern Europe or Asia, it will cause big problems."

"Well, please go ahead. I need your opinion. Tell me more while you dare to tell me the truth."

"It happened in another time and space, the Czech incident, the Hungarian incident, the idea of ​​​​the liberation of the Soviet Union is correct, but the approach is too rough, and there are many sequelae."

"You said this before, how should it be solved in the Chinese way?"

"Support the faction that supports us, let the Czechs deal with the Czechs, and the Hungarians deal with the Hungarians! It is the worst way to intervene directly. This is also what the Americans love to play most. According to the Chinese way, there is a The allusion is Zheng Bokeduan, if you find the signs early, you will use this method to try to lure out all the dangerous people, and then catch them all."

Huang Ke briefly explained to Stalin what the "Zheng Boke section" is.

"Hahaha, I see, I'll keep that in mind. But what does that have to do with your views on Asia?"

"It's the same in Asia. Even if they agree to the referendum, there will be a lot of negative reactions. No one knows whether what happened in the Czech Republic and Hungary will happen one day in the future. In addition, it is different from China here. People who are not of the same ethnic group join in temporarily, and the future local economic development will be unbalanced with that of the country. The economy is better than the country, and they will want to leave, thinking that it will lead a better life, and this is the point of conflict.”

"If the economy is not as good as China's, it will be regarded as being sucked by China, which is even more unfavorable. The price is too high! What I want to get from here, there are actually countless alternatives, and there is really no need to force it!"

"Even if this country really wants to join China, it has to wait for the right time, place and people, and all factors are fully mature before it can follow the trend. Thinking about this at this point in time will not lead to good results."

Stalin sighed: "It's really a naked utilitarian way of thinking about problems, this is the rational thinking of science students..."

Then he shook his head and said, "You'd better not reveal this in front of Li Runshi, he won't like you like this, because you are calculating like a calculator."

Huang Ke replied: "Leaders must calculate like a robot. Emotions are the worst."

"People's hearts are the most difficult to calculate. You can't always calculate correctly."

"That's right, I'm just a mortal, and this is also my limit. My structure is only to this extent."

Stalin laughed loudly: "That's right, no matter how idealistic you are, you need realism to complete it. For the benefit of the Soviets, didn't I deliberately indulge and allow Hitler to start a world war?"

Then he sighed again: "Calculation like a calculator is the best! The worst situation is lack of ability and impulsive nonsense. Among us Slavs, there are too many such bastards."

Huang Ke didn't say some things because he was too imperialistic.

Keeping Cambodia from eating is also to keep a country in Indochina that can help China do dirty work and mess up shit in the future-just like the role played by Cambodia in that plane in the 21st century.

The future situation on the Malay Peninsula is unknown, and Yue Monkey is definitely unreliable, let alone Thailand.Cambodia does not join China, but as long as it can maintain long-term friendship with China as in history, it will be very convenient for China to act here.

In this plane, the Viet Cong who had not experienced the war has been abolished, but Cambodia has not.Compared with Cambodia, Vietnam, which has a greatly reduced population, does not have any advantages.As long as the new regime in Cambodia manages well in the future, it will be an important chess piece for radiation control in Nanyang.

When talking with Stalin, Huang Ke raised his head, but his eyes fell on Singapore and its east, the former site of the Lanfang Republic.

PS: This book asks for a monthly pass,

Another new book "The Dragon and the Dragon Slayer" is also updated

Chapter 345 Autumn of the British Empire

"After the war in Europe, I thought the appeasement policy was over, but I didn't expect it to continue in Asia!"

On April 1941, [-], standing on the fort of the Singapore Fortress, Sir Shenton, Governor of the Straits Settlements, sighed to Phillips, Commander of the Far East Fleet beside him.

He was unwilling and painfully said:

"And the target of our appeasement is actually China!"

He was holding a telegram that he had just received. In the just-concluded Sino-British negotiations, the British Empire permanently lost a large piece of land in northern Myanmar: Kachin State and Shan State.

In April 1940, after taking down Laos, the People's Liberation Army continued to move south, but at the same time squeezed from the east to northern Myanmar and entered the Shan State area.In the direction of Yunnan, it continued to sweep across the entire Kachin region, and continued to infiltrate into southern Tibet.

In the Kachin area, Liberation was not in a hurry to fight hard, but to build bridges and roads with all its strength, and fight steadily.While it is constantly advancing and expanding its control area, it is also constantly wooing the chieftain forces in the Kachin area outside of "since ancient times".

The northern part of Myanmar has many mountains, jungles, and tropical diseases, which can be called poor mountains and bad waters.Mosquitoes bring tropical diseases and are the worst enemy.Insecticides aided by the Soviet Union played an important role when traveling south here.Even with the preparations, a large number of soldiers fell ill.

When the Kachin region was seized, there were only small-scale war conflicts between China and Britain.The combat effectiveness of the British colonial troops was extremely weak, and they were basically defeated in one blow. In the end, the entire Kachin region could only defend the most important node city, Myitkyina, and the rest were captured by the People's Liberation Army.

Throughout 1940, the tasks of the People's Liberation Army in this area were mainly to build roads, and to resolve and subdue the local chieftain forces—conflicts with local aborigines were avoided by the military as much as possible.Because it's unnecessary and too expensive (because jungle guerrilla warfare is disgusting).The first goal now is to drive the British away. As for these forces that are still in the semi-slave and semi-feudal era, there must be time to deal with them after the war.

It took nine months for the People's Liberation Army to build a road from the Yunnan border to the British-controlled area in southern Tibet. Then, a large number of People's Liberation Army troops crossed the Kachin area by truck and forced the "new" Sino-Indian border.

At the same time, the colonial power of the British Empire in the Shan State in northeastern Myanmar also collapsed.With the support of the People's Liberation Army, the local chieftain forces turned their guns on the British and demanded "independence."In July of that year, when the British Empire stabbed its ally, the French Navy, in Algeria, the entire Shan State was completely out of British control.

In August, when the Battle of Britain began, the British, who could no longer bear the CCP’s actions in northern Burma, were forced to agree to start negotiations with the CCP on the “new border issue”.Prior to this, although the two sides had fought many times in Myanmar, more than 2000 colonial troops were wiped out by the British army in various conflicts.However, in order not to embarrass themselves, the British always characterized it as a "conflict" rather than a "Sino-British war."

On this point, Churchill was very clear: for the British Empire, a rising China is more dangerous than Japan.Really tearing your face apart and declaring war on China, imagine the scene of millions of People's Liberation Army recklessly pouring into Myanmar and India from Yunnan...

The only things that can stop the CCP from advancing in northern Myanmar are traffic and the harsh environment.But what China lacks most is manpower. In the past year, the CCP has concentrated 10,000+ people to build roads and bridges frantically in the Kachin area. broken.

The British Empire was kicked out of Europe by Germany, and Fatty Qiu was determined to fight to the death with San Dezi. No one knew how many more years this war would last.The CCP has time to slowly toss with the UK in South Asia.

Since the French were completely kicked out of Indochina in July, the gentlemen of Downing Street have reached an internal agreement while fearing: no matter what, the CCP must be stabilized, and they cannot be allowed to act as unscrupulously in Myanmar as before. The area is messed up.

Then the secret diplomatic negotiations began. At this time, the Soviets were doing business with the British people. Churchill found the Soviet ambassador to Britain, Ivan, as an intermediary and revealed his willingness to negotiate with the Chinese Communist Party.

The Chinese side just ate too much in the early stage, and it took time to slow down, and then the two sides began to sit at the table.

China's request is simple: the British army is required to open the connecting channel between Myanmar and southern Tibet, and transfer the ownership of this channel to China.As for the so-called "McMahon Line", the British dare not even mention it at this time.

Negotiations were held in Myitkyina.At first, the British negotiators slapped the table at the scene and arrogantly declared that they would never give up an inch of the British Empire until the last Indian died, and threatened that they would send the Far East fleet to bombard the coastal cities of China.

Peng Shichuan, the Chinese representative in charge of the negotiations, sneered and said, "Then, our Chinese People's Liberation Army will set the ultimate goal of liberating the entire South Asian continent!"

At this time, the whole world knows that the British Empire is already in a state of being strong outside the middle. Otherwise, China and Britain have been fighting on a small scale in northern Myanmar for so long, and the British Empire has been killed, wounded and captured more than 2000 people, and it has not yet declared war on China—— It was unimaginable a few decades ago.

Negotiations were at an impasse for a time, but the situation in the UK on the India-China border has deteriorated day by day.

The People's Liberation Army continued to build roads and bridges in northern Myanmar and "infiltrated steadily" in all directions. They were not in a hurry to advance to northeastern India, where the British army was gathering heavy troops, but to central Myanmar, where the British were weak.

In the other direction, the People's Liberation Army, which had already entered Xinjiang in 1939, also went south and entered Tibet from the north.

By October 1940, a People's Liberation Army unit broke into the Aksai Chin area and occupied part of the area-the reason why they did not continue to attack was that the winter had come and the temperature had dropped sharply during this period.In addition, another reason is that the British have recovered from the initial frustration at this time and re-formed a large number of colonial corps.

However, the People's Liberation Army moving south from Xinjiang has no advantage over the British colonial troops on the opposite side in terms of numbers or equipment. In addition, the logistics supply line is too long, and it has reached the so-called "offensive turning point" in the military, and it is not suitable for continuing to advance in the short term.

Then the two sides confronted each other on two fronts, one east and one west, in the Aksai Chin area and southern Tibet-Kachin.

Throughout the winter, both sides exercised restraint on these two lines, but the direction of Burma on the south line was not affected by the low temperature. The People's Liberation Army still marched toward central Burma at a speed of about [-] kilometers per month to expand the control area.

This "distance of attack is equal to the speed of road construction" advance method made the British unprecedentedly desperate.

During this period, the British army was defeated again in Greece, Italy declared war on Britain, the German army formed the African Army to enter North Africa, Egypt was in danger, and realized that it was impossible to fight on the two fronts of Africa and South Asia.

The British, eager to turn back and deal with the mustache African army, almost fully agreed to the CCP's request: to give up the entire "traditional territory" of the Chinese side in Aksai Chin, open the border passage from southern Tibet to Kachin, and at the same time "northern Myanmar" Neutralization".

"We lost everything, and what we gained in the end was just an empty promise from the CCP not to continue going south!"

Standing on the fort, Sir Shenton looked at the sea to the north, smashed the table bitterly, and complained to Admiral Phillips.

"Don't Downing Street know? How many evil wolves have been spying on our territory in South Asia! Not to mention the CCP, now even Japan, and even that Phibun, are drooling over here!"

The Fallen British Empire.Under the guidance of the traitor Churchill, the price of staring at Hitler and refusing to give in was that people kept poaching corners in his weak rear.

The Phibun mentioned by Sir Shenton refers to the modern Thai Prime Minister Phibun. After 1941, this military strongman who had just come to power in Thailand, under the instigation of several other wolves, also showed signs of being ready to move.

Thailand is one of the oldest countries in Asia. Someone once said that before World War II, there were only three countries in Asia that could be called countries.

Those other countries, the Philippines, North Korea, South Korea, Vietnam, Burma, etc., are all colonies of other countries.
