Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Qiuli drew a line of 83 degrees east longitude on the map of the South Asian subcontinent, forcing the British into a blind corner. All tactics and tricks were useless. It was a simple multiple-choice question, choose one of two, accept or reject.  !

    The four members of the British negotiating delegation, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, Chief of General Staff General Brandts, Secretary-General of the Prime Minister's Office George Fernandez and Governor-General of India Pajvasali, are all very embarrassed.  How can the news be told in China?

    It is conceivable that once the news reaches the country, His Excellency the Prime Minister will be furious and the people will accuse him of drowning. How dare he return to London?  Wouldn¡¯t that make him a rat crossing the street, with everyone shouting and beating him?

    Seeing that more than an hour had passed, the huge pendulum of the grandfather clock made a "click-click" sound, like a heavy drum, in their hearts, seeming to urge them to make a decision quickly!

    Brandts, George Fernandez and Pajvasali all cast their eyes on Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown. Although they did not speak, their undisguised eyes clearly told him, "You are the chief  Negotiator, you have to tell the truth to the chief about this matter, the three of us are not worthy enough!¡±

    Seeing that he couldn't escape, Charlie Brown sighed and said: "Guys, let me report to the Prime Minister!" After that, he walked out of the living room with heavy steps. The remaining three people seemed to be relieved, and then, it was difficult to  The pain of words drowned them silently.

    Unexpectedly, after receiving a telegram from Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, the British wartime Prime Minister.  Sir Winston Churchill.  But there was no rage or even rage as expected.

    He knew very well the members of the negotiating delegation that such a telegram would not have been sent back to the country if there was no way around it. What if he refused the terms of the insidious and greedy Chinese Tang Qiuli?  ?

    Fight?  Even Churchill, who had always refused to admit defeat, thought this was a joke. He would use nothing to fight the Chinese. The only consequence of refusing was.  It was the foundation of the British Empire in the South Asian subcontinent that was uprooted by Tang Qiuli, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown, in the telegram.  Having already explained this, that abominable Tang Qiuli and hundreds of thousands of wolf-like Chinese soldiers are just waiting for the negotiations to break down!

    "That kind of result can only be that the South Asian subcontinent becomes the next Indochina, and the British Empire's return is far away. I put my hand on my forehead for a long time.  Churchill picked up the pen heavily and wrote this sentence in the blank space of the telegram, "The cabinet agrees with Tang Qiuli's request and signs the agreement immediately!"

    After the secretary left with the telegram, Churchill's fat body seemed to have had his backbone taken away. He slumped on the high-backed chair with his eyes straight. "He became the first prime minister to cede the interests of the British Empire. Lost."  , not only half of the Indian continent, but also the Indochina Peninsula will be lost forever, and Asia will also be lost, and the Germans will be waiting at home. "

    All things are intertwined.  It was like a tangle, entangled in Churchill's mind, exhausting his efforts and energy, so that he could not solve it despite his mental and physical exhaustion. He groaned in pain, his vision went dark, and he fainted suddenly.

    After receiving a call back from Prime Minister Churchill, several people did not dare to delay and drove to Aligarh again to sign the armistice agreement.

    It was still the same Chinese-style negotiation room, and Tang Qiuli still looked calm and relaxed. At 4:30 pm on May 26, 1941, the British chief negotiator, Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown,  On behalf of the British government, he signed the "Sino-British Aligarh Treaty" with Tang Qiuli. The main content of the treaty was only one article, which formally recognized Tang Qiuli's terms.

    Subsequently, relevant documents were signed, "A memorandum between China and the British Empire on the determination of the 83rd parallel border line in the South Asian subcontinent and the establishment of the demilitarized zone," the treaty and related documents were issued in the form of a joint communique between the Chinese and British governments.  , released to the world.

    From this, a line that shocked the world was born. Tang Qiuli was undoubtedly the biggest winner. On land, more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land were accounted for, not counting several archipelagos originally occupied by the British. There were also vast  He smiled and accepted all the areas in the East Indian Ocean. The pain and frustration of the British is unknown, but from then on, the British refused to cooperate with Tang Qiuli in any way.

    ??This also laid the foundation for the British's morbid hatred of the Chinese. As the instigator, Tang Qiuli also knew this very well, but he didn't care, so what about hatred?  If they don¡¯t capture half of the Indian continent, will the British look down upon the Chinese?  From now on, let go of your contempt for the Chinese in your bones?

    It's nonsense. Being gentle and giving way is a virtue, but you have to distinguish between people. If you go too far, you are cowardly, and you will only be bullied by others. If it is not because of strength, for the Indian mainland, Tang Qiu  Not even a scrap of food will be left to the British., this is the principle of hard fist!

    After signing all the treaties and agreements in the shortest possible time, the British looked like their dead parents and put them away with a gloomy face, as if they were holding a huge stone, without even the most basic diplomatic etiquette.  The so-called British gentleman's demeanor was gone. He rushed out of the door without even saying hello, and had to wait for the car to leave.

    At this moment, Tang Qiuli, who had been smiling all the time, patted his forehead and spoke again as if he suddenly realized something, "Gentlemen, please stay away! You have forgotten something important, right?"

    The British stopped in surprise, wondering what other tricks this Chinese general, who had slashed the British Empire, might have up his sleeves?

    Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown tried his best to smile and asked tentatively: "I don't know, General Tang, what do you mean by this? Please explain!"

    Tang Qiuli looked helpless and said: "If I remember correctly, after the sixth clause of the negotiation terms proposed by you is finalized, the contents of prisoners of war will be exchanged with each other, right?"

    In his heart, Charlie Brown wanted to drink Tang Qiuli's blood, peel off his skin, crush his bones and raise his ashes, and offered to exchange prisoners of war. It was originally a small trap designed by himself. After ceding half of the land in the East India region,  , and then made this request to Tang Qiuli, who had already tasted the sweetness, because he wanted to get back those captives at no cost. These people would be the capital for the British Empire to gain a foothold in India in the future.

    But now the result is that half of the Indian continent has been ceded. On his side, there was no request for a prisoner exchange, but Tang Qiuli did so on his own initiative, which made Charlie Brown feel bad.

    Although he is a civil servant, he has been in India for a few days, and he has a general understanding of the moral character of the soldiers stationed in India on the battlefield fighting the Chinese. The prisoners of war are all his own soldiers, and they are in the hands of the army stationed in India.  Where is the Chinese prisoner of war, what can be exchanged?

    Foreign Secretary Charlie Brown hesitated, with countless thoughts running through his mind, but no matter what he thought, he found very sadly that Tang Qiuli seemed unwilling to give up. If this problem is not solved, I am afraid he will not be able to leave this room today.  .

    Charlie Brown avoided the truth and said: "General Tang, I am very sorry. Regarding the issue of prisoner exchange, we have not prepared in advance. I suggest that this issue be left for negotiation later. What do you think?"

    Tang Qiuli suddenly sighed and said: "Mr. Charlie Brown, this issue cannot be postponed. Think about it, your country's hundreds of thousands of prisoners of war are within my jurisdiction. I have to take care of their eating and sleeping! And  I have to be responsible for the treatment of those wounded soldiers! There is no way, I am a soft-hearted person who hates seeing wounded soldiers, so there is no need to postpone it until later. I can deal with it together today, and I can save a lot of money!

    Seeing Charlie Brown's expression changed, and the other three British people also had black lines on their faces, Tang Qiuli's tone became calmer and he continued: "Your country's General Alexander, General Adams, and more than a dozen  A general, hundreds of officers, and nearly 200,000 prisoners of war are all in my prisoner-of-war camp. My burden is heavy!"

    Charlie Brown gritted his teeth and sat back on the chair. He had already suffered a big loss anyway, and he didn¡¯t care about suffering any more losses. He was already numb. First, listen to this devilish Chinese, what on earth is he going to do?

    "General Tang, we want to hear what suggestions you have, and then we can negotiate," Charlie Brown said as calmly as possible.

    Tang Qiuli looked surprised and asked: "Mr. Charlie Brown, this clause was proposed by you. Now, you have to listen to my suggestion. Is there anything wrong? It's actually simple, a one-to-one exchange."  Prisoners of war, then clean up!"

    Charlie Brown was almost crying, and thought to himself: "Isn't this driving people crazy? If I have Chinese prisoners of war in my hands, it would be necessary to go through such laborious hypocrisy, wouldn't it? Let me  What to exchange for?¡±

    "It has reached this point. Tell the truth, otherwise Tang Qiuli will not let him go," Charlie Brown said without blushing or heartbeat: "General Tang, I can honestly say that in our country,  There is no prisoner of war from your side in the imperial army, so a one-to-one exchange cannot be carried out. I also hope that General Tang will release all our prisoners of war based on humanitarian principles and reunite them with their relatives.  We also know that we have paid too much!¡±

    This sentence sounds a bit like pleading. You have cut off half of the fat from the British Empire. You have taken advantage of it. What else do you want to write about the issue of prisoners of war?  Take it when it's good, don't be too greedy!

    Tang Qiuli's face showed an expression of extreme embarrassment. He closed his eyes slightly and clasped the two fingers of his right hand rhythmically on the table, which made the British man's heart skip a beat.  Stance, this is a concessionHe has a very headache problem that is difficult to solve!

    After more than ten minutes, Tang Qiuli opened his eyes and said, "I have a solution!"
