Chen Geng and Yan'an Observation Team followed the British to watch the two sides fight in eastern India, and participated in various wars throughout the process, and even participated in the defense of Kolkata. Everyone saw that the situation in the British Empire was not good. Not only was the morale and training worse than the opponent, but they were even inferior to the opponent in equipment. At first, the Communist Party believed that no matter how good British and American equipment was always advanced. It was not until they witnessed the Japanese chariot brigade and Stuka launched the ground-to-air cooperation battle, especially once a Japanese Tiger Brigade (16 vehicles) appeared and directly scared away an Indian battalion, they realized that the British were also at a disadvantage in equipment.

Later, the Yan'an Observation Team discovered that the British were more and more sick. They called this emotion "Tiger tank phobia". What is surprising is that the British themselves admitted it openly, thinking that the Tiger is unmatched unless they send planes. Several military observers who did not believe in evil risked their lives to fight the Tiger. However, whether it was the US imperialist m3 37mm anti-tank gun or the British Empire's heirloom 6-pound cannon, they could only tick the Tiger. Only a very small number of 17-pound cannons are threatening, but they were also limited to a relatively close distance. This scene shocked the Yan'an people. Not to mention the lowest-level 37mm war defense guns, they didn't have many anti-tank guns that Britain and the United States had long eliminated. If the Japanese army used these equipment on the Chinese battlefield, how many comrades would they die by relying on explosive packs and cluster grenades alone?

Except for Sherman, the most threatening to Japanese tanks were Bazouka and recoilless guns, but most of the British and Indian troops that operated these two weapons were killed by Japanese infantry. The Japanese army also regarded tanks as treasures, especially the Tiger styles, who were hanging from behind to play the advantage of precise sniping. How could they be willing to let them go forward like the German army to break through positions and fight attrition? When they heard that the United States used tanks to build in tens of thousands a year, the Yan'an Observation Group did not say anything.

Faced with such a situation, Chen Geng and Slim suggested to launch guerrilla warfare with Japan-controlled areas more than once. At the beginning, the other party just smiled: "Major General Chen (Chen Geng has the title of brigade commander and has the rank of major general of the National Party), guerrilla warfare cannot repel the Japanese army..."

Later, the war situation worsened day by day, and Slim, who was desperate, did listen. With a try-and-see attitude, agreed to Chen Geng and others to try it, but he spread his hands and said that no one could implement it. Chen Geng asked more than 100 British and Indian volunteers and more than 100 observers to form an Indian guerrilla team to infiltrate the Japanese-controlled area, trying to imitate domestic experience to establish a guerrilla area. He knew what the nature of the British regular army was, and he did not dare to ask for a local officer, and only two people acted as liaison officers.

However, after two months of practice, the attempt to establish a guerrilla zone failed without any accident. There were many reasons for failure, such as language barriers, unfamiliar terrain, low morale of the British and Indian soldiers and disobeyed commands, they would rather listen to the British scolding than obey the Chinese. However, the deeper reason was the colonial nature of the Indian people. In order to gain the hearts of the people, the Indian guerrillas did not adopt a relatively ease in the domestic rent and interest reduction method. Instead, they used fierce attacks on local tyrants to divide the land and land. They pulled out a prince of the Turkish prince who they believed was full of bad records and wanted to share his land and property to the poor in India. As a result, something shocking happened, and not many people dared to take it. Many people even thought that such a ruthless rebellion, "If the master does not care about us in the future, how can we survive?", which made the guerrillas stupid.

After returning home, no one resisted the guerrillas, so the guerrillas settled down with peace of mind and planned to do mass work. But what worried them was that within a few days the National Army of the Boss government heard the storm and rushed over. In their opinion, the Indians who had received favors should be willing to be willing to be guerrillas and at least not help each other. Who knew that one of them would go to the National Army to report that outsiders had "harm the master". The guerrillas used all their strength to repel the siege of the National Army and returned to their controlled areas.

Along the way, everyone summed up their experiences dejectedly, and some people said unconvincedly: "I'm so surprised, why are the masses heading towards the puppet army?"

A bunch of people couldn't answer, and only one British and Indian soldier muttered: "What is a puppet army?"

"Isn't Boss the puppet regime? Isn't it a puppet army?"

"Then...what is a regular army?"

"Aren't you just regular soldiers..." He was mute after saying a while and could not continue. Now everyone realized what the problem was: the British and Indian army was British officer from top to bottom. Can this be called a regular army? The colonial army is almost the same! Boss's National Army was at least Indian from top to bottom. It's amazing that there are a few Japanese advisers, and they look more like regular soldiers than the British and Indian army!

After listening to the report on the work of the guerrillas, Chen Geng, who was in a heavy mood, wrote a long telegram and sent it to Yan'an: "...The tragedy of India is that they are colonies, full of history of being conquered by outsiders, and never had the consciousness of national introspection. Even the puppet regime supported by the Japanese authorities was the first national regime in India in modern history. After all, when the British were in power, even such a government was not established for the Indians. In the past century, the most intense Indian nationalists have fiercely resisted British rule. They would rather believe the Japanese than the British. The ordinary Indian people were at a loss about resistance and did not know who to resist... So I think it takes a long way to launch a revolution and establish a regime in India. At least it is possible after Japan's hypocritical appearance is revealed.

Based on all aspects of information, I think we can understand the reason why Japan gradually withdrew from mainland China: Japan lacks military strength and resources, and is unable to do so at the same time. In the government, India and two large countries with vast regions and large populations must make choices. Given that the Indian people are more tame and easier to drive, Japan chose the Indian offensive. I think Japan will withdraw from more territory at home, and the central government should seize the favorable opportunity to accelerate development.

From the perspective of military routes alone, the complete failure of the British side that lost foreign aid in India is inevitable, but this does not mean that nothing can be done. It is not enough to rely solely on the British and Indian army to carry out frontal resistance. Even if a stable guerrilla zone and base area cannot be established in a short period of time, I think it is possible to draw some elite troops to carry out mobile combat behind enemy lines, destroy the stability of the enemy's ruling order and the unblocking supply line. If the central government agrees, I am willing to lead some Indian comrades and delegations to carry out this task and extend the Japanese offensive time as much as possible..."

Yan'an replied to him a long letter, and finally emphasized: "...... It is not your top priority to launch a gala action war and help the British hold back Japan's pace. Your most important mission is to learn, master modern military theories and experience in combat command of large corps. You must modestly learn regular military command tactics with British officers, take advantage of the current favorable opportunity to learn the experience of British and Japanese combat, master the essence of modern warfare and use it as much as possible for me. At the same time, you must pay attention to collecting information and intelligence on military, economic, political, etc., especially to master Japan's equipment configuration and technical characteristics..."

Even the Yan'an Observation Team knew that the situation in India was despair, so why would the senior officials in London not know? Therefore, it is obvious that the condition of retaining the Indian colony can be cancelled from the British-German negotiations first.

The second condition is the issue of British colonies. Germany's statement is very clear in this regard: In fact, the British colonies occupied by the Axis and its allies should not be taken back. In this way, Africa, the Middle East and even Southeast Asia will definitely have no chance of being with the British Empire. There is no need to think about the island of the Cabinet that was handed over to Argentina. But the four most important autonomous lords, Germany, promised to help Britain continue to stabilize. South Africa and South Rhodesia (a place that has not been swallowed by European countries) Germany promised not to move. Australia, New Zealand and Germany will come forward to coordinate with Japan, and Canada will provide security guarantees by Germany.

Ribbentrop even said that if Canadians are willing and the British government requires, the European Combined Fleet and European Integrated Armed Forces can be deployed on the US-Canadian border in the future, especially Newfoundland, as a direct territory of Great Britain, will be the top priority for troops stationed. For Hoffman, once he has a foothold in the North American continent, the missile can reach New York in 10 minutes, and the armored division crosses the US-Canadian border to engage in blitzkrieg will be achieved overnight. This scene is so sad.

In order to allow the British to submit quickly, considering that Britain still has millions of troops and a fleet, Germany proposed that it could find a colony for Britain in South America, such as part of Brazilian territory bordering British Guiana. If the British army fought more powerfully and made great contributions, it also agreed to hand over the Panama Canal to Britain to control.

The third condition is the arrangement of the top British military and political leaders. Ribbentrop said that no matter what the British senior officials who are willing to cooperate with Germany in the past, they will not pursue any investigation, no matter what their attitude towards Germany is in the past, they will not resist, and will not destroy (including Churchill himself), Germany will tolerate and come and go freely, and express that they will never have the idea of ​​settle accounts after the fall. Since Britain has long seen maritime power, in order to take care of the British national sentiment, it agreed that the British will serve as commander in the future of the European Union Fleet.

The fourth is economic arrangement. After peace talks, the UK's blockade will naturally be lifted immediately. The shortage of materials and raw materials will be coordinated by Germany. At the same time, Germany will place various industrial orders in the UK to help stabilize the economic situation. In the future, the UK can join various European joint venture mechanisms and common markets. At the same time, the current oil funds in the Middle East will also give British capital a share of the pie. The two sides can also cooperate in advanced technology. After all, the UK's industrial technology is second only to Germany in Europe, and even surpass Germany in some fields. In the final analysis, Germany will of course be the big deal in the process of EU integration, but as long as the four major autonomous lords are in hand, the UK will surpass France and enjoy the second transaction and status with the United States, isn't it the second?

In other words, with the continuous failure of Britain and the United States, the UK's psychological asking price is decreasing, and the possibility of Britain and Germany reaching an agreement is getting greater and greater...
