    Afghanistan!

    Can I go to that place?  It¡¯s too late to clean up the cesspool that has killed three superpowers in a row.

    Chamberlain didn¡¯t notice his sudden change of expression and kept talking to seduce Li Yuanhong in an attempt to get the Republic of China to take over Afghanistan.  The British intention is very simple, that is, to hand over the area north of Kabul, Afghanistan, to the jurisdiction of the Republic of China. As long as Britain is close to the Indian side, the two sides can clearly demarcate their spheres of influence to avoid future conflicts.  Not only that, he also listed many benefits of administering Afghanistan. In the end, he directly linked the recognition of Natuna to it, saying that as long as the Republic of China sends troops to overthrow the pro-Soviet Afghan government, Britain is willing to recognize Natuna as part of Chinese territory.

    Li Yuanhong was a little moved and kept looking at Yang Qiu with his eyes, which made him even more confused.

    If it were someone else, maybe I would agree!  Because the northwest will be the top priority of China's national strategy for a long time to come. Ensuring peace in the northwest is not just about improving the living standards of local people, but also requires a good external environment.  Moreover, the defense situation in the northwest is not impeccable. Except for Zuiye, which is surrounded by the Tianshan Mountains and is safe, the rest of the place is almost a source of turmoil. The defense line of more than a thousand kilometers is almost full of loopholes, otherwise it would not be possible.  Spend huge sums of money to build fortresses as barriers.

    On the other hand, Afghanistan is not only the heart of Central Asia, but also a natural barrier to the west.  It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Afghanistan is controlled, the security of the three provinces of Tajikistan, Andijan and Kyrgyzstan can be guaranteed, and the connection with Iran can be smoothed all the way.  This is equivalent to shortening the northwest defense line by hundreds of kilometers at once, and being able to concentrate on defending areas such as Almaty and East Kazakhstan.

    Almost half of the important areas in the northwest are safe!  The heart of Central Asia!  To the south lies the fertile plains of India.  To the west is the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea, to the east is the northwest, and to the north is the hinterland of Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan!  Who wouldn¡¯t be tempted by such a strategic location?  Therefore, even people like Li Yuanhong who did not interfere in external military affairs frequently winked.

    But Yang Qiu swallowed secretly, Britain's move was too cruel!  Knowing that it would be impossible to recapture Natuna after problems arise in India, when Nanyang may be gradually penetrated by China, it simply throws Afghanistan, which is a hundred times more important, to seduce itself.  Some people may think that this will put India under China's gunfire. The question is, will Stalin be stupid enough to let China seize Afghanistan safely?  See your neck is stuck?

    Obviously it is the culprit!

    Yang Qiu knows best how powerful this cesspool is.  The only three superpowers in the parallel world, Britain, the Soviet Union and the United States, have all fallen into disgrace here. They can't even avoid it. How can they fill this big cesspool?  He shook his head quickly: "Mr. Chamberlain. Thank you to the British government for its trust in our country. We are also very willing to assume necessary international obligations, but you should know that our country is in a transition period of national construction. Our government expressed its disapproval as early as after the end of the European War.  We need colonies and will not interfere in external disputes. Whether it is India or Afghanistan, they are external matters to our country. Please forgive me for not accepting this suggestion."

    This time it was Chamberlain's turn to be surprised. He never expected that Yang Qiu would refuse this great opportunity to control the entire Central Asia.  Doesn't Yang Qiu care about the safety of the northwest?  impossible!  If you don't care, why do you still invest hundreds of millions in construction every year and increase the defense expenditure in the northwest year after year?  Isn¡¯t this condition attractive enough?  Simply throw out the final weight: "Mr. Vice President, the current Amanullah Khan is supported by the Soviets! Are you willing to see the Soviet Union infiltrating to the east? If they finally control there, the northwest region of your country may never get  Peace. Our country has made contact with many tribes, and Nadir Khan is currently receiving training in France. We can join forces. Of course, in return, our country will consider handing over Natuna to your jurisdiction."

    This suggestion is so tempting!

    With the combined forces of China and Britain, no matter how remote Afghanistan is, the pro-Soviet Amanullah will not be able to secure his position and support Nadir Khan after he comes to power.  He certainly cannot ignore China, which is so close at hand. Being pro-China is the only option.  So this is an opportunity. The more complex a region is, the more it needs its own supporting force. Otherwise, it will be more passive when problems arise in the future. It¡¯s just that the whirlpool is too big for this step!

    In the study room, Yue Peng stood in front of the map like an unbending green pine, which was impressive.  After Cai E's death.  He has become the only big boss in the military. If he hadn't been a partner in the trenches, and if he hadn't actively supported him, even Yang Qiu couldn't guarantee whether he would ignore him.

    Unlike Yang Qiu, he actively supports intervention in Afghanistan: "I should agree to it."

    "Why?"

    "Commander-in-Chief, you are a fan of the authorities!" Yue Peng expressed his thoughts: "The agreement only represents cooperation, not the actual sending of troops. Neither we nor the United Kingdom can send their own troops, they must rely on tribal armed attacks that are biased towards us.  Kandahar. I know, youBecause Stalin's most urgent priority now is to resolve internal affairs, he has no power to interfere.  But have you ever thought about it?  Does the Soviet Union dare to let Afghanistan fall under our control?  If Britain does it on its own, Stalin may not take action yet, but if the two families come together to Turkmenistan, the 10,000 Soviet troops will definitely go south immediately.  Since Amanullah was supported by the Soviet Union, in the face of life and death, he can only use the power of the Soviet Union to fight against us. When the time comes, we will deliberately let the guerrillas be defeated and shrink back Yue Peng turned to look at him, and punched Afghanistan hard with his fist.  Smash: "India has too much time to take care of its own civil strife. After the Soviet army entered Kandahar, we were not the only ones to be unlucky. The Muslim League had to face both the angry Hindus and the threat of the Soviet Union and could only turn to us even more! The Soviet army moving south to India may not have enough strength, but  What about Nehru? Britain will never support Nehru unless they are willing to see India rebel, and our relationship with the Muslim League will not support him. In the end, they can only go north to ask for help."

    These hurried words made Yang Qiu suddenly wake up.  Yue Peng's words are absolutely correct. Stalin, who has been bent on restoring the territory of Tsarist Russia in recent years, can tolerate the British swallowing up Afghanistan, because the British army is not strong enough to penetrate into the Soviet Union after the occupation, but if he takes action himself, there is absolutely no reason to sit back and watch Afghanistan be swallowed up by China.  The loss, coupled with the riots in India, is the best opportunity to provoke the peninsula to launch a revolution.  You'll be damned if you don't go south!

    Seeing that he understood, Yue Peng chuckled: "When the British have problems in India, they want to use our hands to block the Soviet Union's interference. Then they leave Afghanistan to us, hoping that we will not interfere with India. In this case, we might as well cooperate  , As for the Soviet army, if they really intervene, we will have to retreat to Tajik and Andijan at worst. If we have the ability, we can attack the northwest fortress."

    "The problem is that Britain is not stupid. By putting the Soviet Union at India's doorstep, isn't it asking for trouble?" Yang Qiu never figured this out.  What the hell is the UK doing?

    "Afghanistan is safe now? If it was safe, why did the UK attack three times in a row?" Yue Peng picked up his cup and held it in his hands and slowly sat down, squinting his eyes like a knife and speaking in a low voice: "Intelligence said that the Soviet Union has now returned to Europe.  60% of the strength before the war. This year alone, the number of troops has increased by 400,000. It seems much stronger, but it is far from enough to go south to India! This is not to say that India is difficult to fight, but no one can guarantee that it will be better after going south.  We will not cut off the Afghan passage from Andijan, so the most likely thing is to stop here This is a deadlock! If we want to go south with confidence, we must first force us to take care of ourselves, but they can't do it with their current strength. Looking at us,  It is impossible to really let the Soviet army control India. In that case, everything from Japan to Burma will be a battlefield, and no one can win without millions of people filling it. Furthermore, after the Soviet army goes south to India, what will France do?  What to do with Siam? What to do with the United States? The threat from Southeast Asia will be several times greater than it is now! In the years after Europe, the Soviet Union was surrounded and interfered not hard enough? Does it want to do it again? So even if they send troops, they can only stop here. Unless  Defeat us first so you can have no worries Tsk tsk, the British really have been playing the old empire for more than a hundred years, this is a beautiful move! Throwing out Afghanistan will tie up both us and the Soviet Union, so that we can solve India first without any distractions.  Internally. Taking a step back, don¡¯t worry about Jinnah or Nehru. Do you really want the Soviet army to go south? In that case, the two countries will immediately merge and fight against the outside world without waiting for us to take action."

    In the end, he deliberately clicked his tongue, causing Yang Qiu to laugh and scold him: "The analysis is good, and the skills are good. But there is something I want to ask, are you specifically hoping for a fight? Is this a chance?"

    Yue Peng waved his hands repeatedly: "How is that possible! You don't know me? Besides, our country is currently engaged in construction, and the annual military expenditure is only enough to maintain basic expenses. Unless we have to, we can't afford it."

    Yang Qiu ignored him, but secretly admired the old empire that had played a balancing policy for hundreds of years.  The move in front of me has almost taken advantage of the hatred and geographical relations between various countries to the extreme!  The bet is that no one is willing to go to war at the moment.  But there is one thing that the British will probably never imagine. When they try to use Afghanistan to cover India, and slowly recuperate and regain their strength, when they re-dominate the world, a Roosevelt who is more powerful than them will appear on the other side of the Atlantic.

    It will be great fun when Roosevelt comes to power to pass on the economic crisis and Britain is affected and unable to do so!  Thinking of this, he immediately put on his coat and walked out.  Yue Peng even knowingly asked: "Commander-in-Chief, where are you going?"

    "Go and set fire!"

    After Yang Qiu finished speaking, he immediately drove to the hotel where Chamberlain was staying.  In the next two days, China and Britain held detailed discussions on the Indian crisis, the division of power in Afghanistan, and other issues.  In the end, it was decided that the United Kingdom would invite Nadir Khan, the largest opposition group in Afghanistan, and then China would provide weapons to help train 3,000 soldiers on the border between Afghanistan and India. It was also agreed that once the training of the soldiers was completed, they would immediately attack Kandahar and drive away the Soviet forces from Afghanistan.  .

    Of course, Chamberlain did not forget to warn Yang Qiu not to interfere in Indian affairs, and promised to have the Prime Minister's Office issue an announcement recognizing that Natuna belongs to Chinese territory immediately after returning to China.?But the announcement was delayed until just before the outbreak of World War II.

    After finishing his visit to China, Chamberlain rushed to Japan overnight.  In order to curb the growing Chinese navy, and in retaliation for the "disgraceful" behavior of China and the United States in the East India riots, they also signed a secret agreement with Japan, not only providing a loan of 30 million pounds in the name of disaster relief, but also promising to export 30 million pounds from India at a low price every year.  10,000 tons of pig iron to Japan, and promised to help persuade the Anglo-Dutch Shell Company to increase crude oil exports to Japan.

    The Japanese navy was overjoyed by the three large-scale loans, especially the loan of nearly 400 million yen, which immediately launched a renovation plan for six battlecruisers.

    After all the dust settled, news of the explosion spread again in India. Nehru ignored repeated British objections and publicly announced in Delhi that all members of the Muslim League in the Congress Party would be expelled.  Within days of the announcement, tens of millions of Hindu supporters chanted Nehru's name in support of this "wise" decision.  Nehru also took advantage of this opportunity and finally ascended to the position of chairman of the Congress Party more than ten years ahead of schedule.

    On the fifth day after the declaration, armed conflict broke out again in Rajasthan, which is located in the Muslim League-Hindu decomposition zone. Hundreds of Muslim League guerrillas and Hindu soldiers opened fire on each other.

    Seeing the imminent uprising in India, which led China and the Soviet Union to Afghanistan, and signed a secret support agreement to secretly support Japan, the British Empire instantly regained some confidence and officially announced that it would send 12,000 additional soldiers from the mainland to India to ensure the security of the Indian colonies Welcome  Your support is my biggest motivation.  )
