The incident originated from a new personnel appointment issued by British Prime Minister Churchill after the US government issued a declaration of war against China. Churchill appointed former ambassador to China Xue Mu as the new chief liaison officer of the Tibet Office, and declared that he would The "Simla Conference" was carried out to the end and helped Tibetans achieve national independence in the true sense.
The "Simla Conference" was a tripartite conference planned by the British to separate Tibet from China. It was named because the conference was held in Simla, India.
The ambassador to China and the chief liaison officer of the Tibet Office are not equated with each other in terms of titles alone. Churchill deliberately did this to explain to the Chinese government the British government's position on the Tibetan issue. position, that is, in the eyes of the British, China and Tibet are two equal regional forces.
It has to be said that Churchill's move was quite vicious. After Ouyang Yun took control of Tibet, it was not that he did not think about solving it once and for all. However, due to various reasons and because he did not want to waste too much power on this kind of internal friction, the coalition government There was no actual deployment of troops, which gave the British an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
Song Ziwen: "I am ready to submit a formal protest to the British side on this matter. However, I am worried that the British will demand that the Tibetan issue be discussed together with the Hong Kong, Singapore and Myanmar issues. In that case, we will be very passive."
Ouyang Yun had a certain understanding of the Tibetan issue after being filled in by his staff. After listening to Song Ziwen's words, he thought about it and said, "Churchill really knows how to find opportunities. It seems that he is determined to take advantage of us to start a war with the United States. It's a serious blackmail."
"It's not scary to be ripped off. What I'm most worried about is that if the stolen money is taken away, a war between China and Britain will inevitably happen. The British and Americans are too close, and the British will definitely not give up control of the Malacca Strait."
"Then ignore him first. Tibet must be China's territory. There is no doubt about this. Since Churchill wants to make trouble, let him make trouble. Anyway, we don't have military power in Tibet. At most, we can withdraw the civilian personnel first. alright."
"If we withdraw civilian personnel, it would be unfair for us to send troops in the future."
Ouyang Yun sneered: "What's wrong with the name? We just have to insist that Tibet has always been China's inherent territory. Huh, Churchill wants to get something for nothing. He doesn't look at what era we are in now. Does he think it's still opium?" During the war? In this way, you don’t need to submit a protest to the British government. You can handle the matter directly within the framework of the United Nations. You can directly complain to the International Arbitration Court, sue the British for being unreasonable and forcibly interfering in our internal affairs, and ask the United Nations to impose sanctions. Churchill is raising trouble on the Tibetan issue at this time, not just to disgust us, but also to disgust us."
China and the United States have officially started fighting. No matter from which level you look at it, it seems to be an opportunity for countries such as the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union that have economic interests and even territorial conflicts with China. When they think about it, China, which has already gone into full-scale war with the United States, They were definitely not willing to establish other strong enemies besides the United States and Japan. At this time, they took the opportunity to make some demands. Considering the overall situation, Ouyang Yun and other Chinese leaders seemed to have no possibility of rejecting them.
Churchill and Stalin originally thought that Ouyang Yun had been defeated, but unexpectedly, the latter did not follow the rules at all. Not only did he reject their request, but he also acted "arrogantly" and treated the Chinese Regardless of Stalin's plans for this unreasonable approach, Churchill had actually begun to accept the Americans' suggestions and was preparing to officially raise the anti-China banner.
Since Churchill was already preparing to go to war with China, why did he still attack the Chinese government on the Tibet issue? One of the reasons was, as Ouyang Yun said, it was just to disgust people, because the coalition government was attacking Tibet at this time. The rule of China is limited to rhetoric and politicization, so no matter what measures the British take, they can't really change anything. Of course, from Churchill's perspective, another advantage of his doing so is that once the Chinese government fails to respond, If they make a fuss about the Tibet issue, then the British may be able to obtain other practical benefits through this "flying trick".
Song Ziwen was extremely efficient. The day after his conversation with Ouyang Yun, one of his department heads formally submitted an indictment to the United Nations Arbitration Tribunal, accusing the British government of barbarically interfering in China's internal affairs and trying to split China's inherent territory of Tibet, and demanded The United Nations imposes sanctions on the UK.
At this time, we can see the benefits of building the United Nations headquarters in Guangzhou. Under the strong influence of the Chinese government (of course, among the British people, it is the Chinese government that controls the United Nations), the United Nations Arbitration Tribunal ruled in a very short period of time. A hearing was held and a verdict was made in the absence of the British representative, finding that the British government's dispatch of ambassadorial-level diplomats to Tibet without notifying the Chinese central government was a gross interference in the Chinese government's internal affairs. There is also a bad attempt to split China's Tibet, and the British government is required to immediately withdraw this decision and provide a written explanation and apology to the Chinese government within a certain period of time...
When China and the United Kingdom were fighting a war of words, Brazil, with the addition of the Chinese South American Volunteer Army, the war situation reversed. The once-defeated Brazilian Defense Force began to rise, while the once majestic Brazilian rebels and the Meissen Security Army began to rise. Like a lost dog, he was forced to continuously shrink the defense line. This battle situation lasted until the fifth day when the South American Volunteer Army joined the war. After another city was captured by the Brazilian Defense Force and the South American Volunteer Army, MacArthur could no longer remain calm and had to send a message to the White House. A higher-level request for help telegram stated that if the country did not provide support, he would have to give up his career in Brazil.
As early as when China declared war on the United States and dispatched the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet to attack the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, the top military and political leaders of the U.S. government had already made preparations to send troops to Brazil. However, because most of the U.S. Army's front-line troops were concentrated in Australia and New Guinea, It would take quite some time to realize this strategic deployment. As a last resort, after Truman summoned Stimson and others to hold an emergency meeting, he called MacArthur and asked him to persist for a while. Team, let them change their army equipment so that they can participate in the Brazilian war as soon as possible.
