'Greco/China War' (329 B.C. - 326 B.C.) - After the defeat of Darius III (Born 380 B.C. -

Died 330 B.C.) in 330 B.C., Alexander 'the Great '(Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.),'Pontifex-Maximus'(Leader of the 'Patrician Greek Caste') of 'Athens' (Greece)

defeated most of his enemies,but one,that being the country of China. In the days of

Alexander 'the Great',there was 'Three Super Powers' in the known world,the first was

(1) 'Athens'(Greece),(2) 'Persepolis'(Iran),lastly (3) 'Xian' (Shaanxi ,China ). Alexander

'the Great' had beaten the Persian people,saying that the 'Greek People' were the 'Master Race', "We are the culture who 'invents' ,if it wasn't for us, human society would be back in the 'stone age' ". After Alexander 'the Great' invaded the capital city of the Persians in 330 B.C., Alexander 'the Great' started to turn his attention toward China . Alexander made himself 'Pharaoh'(Leader of all satraps) of the defeated Persians,and revelled in his glory in 330 B.C. Alexander always publically said to the

defeated Persians "that the Greek race is the 'Master Race', nobody can stand up to us,

more than less beat us!. We are the chosen people made to conquer inferior peoples and cultures of the world, we have the gift of 'inventing' ,with that power,we the Greek poeple were made to rule the people of the earth,we are 'invincible'! " In 330 B.C.,Greeks who had visited China,went to Alexander with their grieves about Chinese rule and religion,they explained that they went to China voicing 'free speach', saying that Chinese Gods were evil,inturn Chinese authorities were imprisoning Greeks for their

'free speach', so Alexander 'the Great' sent a message to the Chinese Pontiff, Zhou Xian

Wang ' Ji Jiong'(Born 368 B.C. - Died 320 B.C.),Chinese Pontiff of' Xian' (Shaanxi, China), Alexander 'the Great'(Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.),'Pontifex-Maximus'(Leader of the 'Patrician Greek Caste') of 'Athens'(Greece),had stated to the Chinese 'Pontiff' that he should release all Greeks who have been imprisoned by Chinese government, give a 'formal apology' and give a 'monetary compensation' to the

imprisoned Greeks, besides their 'formal release'. Alexander stated there would be consequences to their actions if nagative, the Chinese responded by executing all Greek prisoners. Parmenio said, "it would be a mistake to declare war on China",later

Alexander had both Parmenio and Philotas (son of Parmenio) killed, for opposing Alexander on the subject of declaring war on China,after this point,none of Alexander's fellow comrades never opposed Alexander on the subject of declaring war on China in

329 B.C. Alexander 'the Great' ruled all '100 Greek Provinces' known as the 'Greek Empire', Alexander ruled from the 'Island of Britannia' to the tip of far off 'Siberia'(Russia),down to the Peninsula of Korea. Alexander argued, " that the Chinese are physically small people,one Greek soldier can kill five Chinese soldiers easily,not to mention we are the 'inventors' of 'new ideas',we have the gift to 'invent',we Greeks use

'Iron swords' while the Chinese use 'bronze swords',iron breaks bronze. The Chinese have archers that can shoot as far as '100 meters',we Greeks have catapults that can shoot as far as '250 meters'. We Greeks have 'Turtle Units'(100 soldiers each),'Turtle Units' can soak up arrow fire until the enemy is empty,the Chinese have no cavaliers or

charioteers,all Chinese soldiers travel on foot. We also have phalanxes consisting of '100 soldiers' each carrying the longest spears known as 'pikes',Chinese have none of the Greek technology we have today". Alexander stated that he would have the country of China on her knees within a year. When Alexander 'the Great' became a 'Pontifex-Maximus' in 331 B.C., Alexander became a 'God',anybody who holds the 'title' and 'office' of 'Pontifex-Maximus'(Leader of the 'Patrician Greek Caste') made the holder a 'God' ,as a 'God', a 'God' can never be questioned on his decisions,especially on politics of state,so when Parmenio started to challege Alexander on the question of war on China,Alexander had Parmenio and Philotas killed . With Parmenio and Philotas

dead, Alexander 'the Great' (Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.),'Pontifex-Maximus' (from 331 B.C. till 323 B.C.) of 'Athens'(Greece),declared war on China in 329 B.C.,this war would be known as the 'Greco/China War'( 329 B.C. - 326 B.C.). As Alexander 'the Great' (Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.),'Pontifex-Maximus' (from 331 B.C. till 323 B.C.) of 'Athens'(Greece),marched his Greek army into China in 329 B.C.,the Greek flags were emblazoned, 'S.P.Q.A.' ( Senate,Patricians of Athens),the colors were 'Gold' on 'Red' . Alexander 'the Great' had ruled or conquered lands from the 'Island of Britannia' to the very tip of 'Siberia'(Russia) all the way down to the 'Korean Peninsula',Alexander's strategy was to bluff the Chinese by the size of his conquests of land,to show the Chinese that the Greeks were bigger in military arms and more superior in technology than the Chinese,Alexander was hoping to scare the Chinese people into submission. Neither Alexander 'the Great' (Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.) or Zhou Xian Wang (Born 368 B.C. - Died 320 B.C.) truly knew how many soldiers each had,all that Alexander knew was that nobody could stop his 'Greek War Machine',the Greeks had the latest in superior technology,nobody to this point could stop Alexander,why should he stop at this point in time,all Alexander thought was that the Chinese will not be anymore difficult then the Persians in 330 B.C. Alexander estimated that the Chinese numbered about 2,000,000 strong,the Greeks numbered 1,500,000,soldiers included people conquered by Alexander in other far away lands as well,but Alexander did not know that the Chinese soldiers actually numbered around

2,000,000,000 Chinese soldiers,the Chinese could adapt to Greek technology at a fast rate. The Chinese for over centuries had kept their true number of Chinese soldiers a secret,instead of putting down the number 2,000,000,000 Chinese soldiers,they reduced the number down to 2,000,000 Chinese soldiers,to deceive their enemies who might have plans to attack China one day. The war had started in 329 B.C.,Alexander 'the Great' used the 'S.P.Q.A.'(Senate ,Patricians of Athens) standard,while the Chinese Pontiff, Zhou Xian Wang used a picture of a 'Dragon' for his standard,'Gold' on 'Green'.

On June 10,329 B.C., Alexander 'the Great' invaded China for the first time,the Chinese were in complete shock,Greek archer's used poisoned tipped arrows and 'Greek Fire',many Chinese were not familar with 'Greek Fire',when one pours water on 'Greek Fire',water acts like a gasoline that feeds the fire even more,something the Chinese were not aware of at the time,many Chinese died an agonizing and horrible death,by being burned to death. In 329 B.C., Alexander 'the Great' had invaded the interior of China,the Chinese Pontiff, Zhou Xian Wang (Born 368 B.C. - Died 320 B.C.) called on

all his Chinese lords to defend the Chinese Capital of 'Xian'(Shaanxi,China) at all costs,

that they did. One Chinese lord came forth,this was Wu Ling (Lord of Chao Province), Wu Ling argued that to turn this war around, the Chinese must learn to fight on horseback while shooting arrows from their bows as well as use a spear or sword on horseback. Wu Ling also suggested that Zhou Xian Wang ,order the creation of chariots to be made,this could be done by copying the style of the invading Greek style chariots that were captured by the Chinese after battle,Wu Ling was the father who introduced the creation of chariots and fighting on horseback for the Chinese soldier,these two things would greatly slow down the Greek attack on China in the later days of the war. Another thing of great importance was the building of the 'Great Wall' in 329 B.C.,which confused the Greeks greatly,Alexander stated," what's the use of a wall to hinder our attacks,well just go around the wall,then one day it dawned on Alexander,it's not a wall, it's a road,it's a road for the Chinese foot soldiers,an elevated road system to prevent ambush by Greek soldiers'. The Chinese were going to fight a war of attrition,by starving out the Greeks and wearing out the tired Greeks into submission,and it would work on December ,327 B.C. The Greeks being far from their home of Greece,the cold and tired hungry Greeks wanted to leave China after three years of fighting,the Greek supply routes through Eurasia were cut off by the Chinese,so getting food now was becoming impossible to get,clothing was also becoming scarce as the war progressed to December,327 B.C. Alexander could not go back through Eurasia anymore,because the Chinese had blocked all routes throughout Eurasia,so Alexander chose to march his retreating Greek army down to the coast of India. In 326 B.C.,King Porus of India,awaited the attack of Alexander in India, King Porus was a friend and ally of Zhou Xian Wang and the Chinese people,King Porus promissed to slow down the fleeing Greeks from China,so it would give the Chinese time to intercept the retreating Greek army. King Porus readied his elephant army to slow down Alexander's retreat out of China. In January,326 B.C., Alexander 'the Great' was so depressed,that he decided to scale an Indian castle wall by himself,many Greeks saw this act as pure bravery,but in fact Alexander wanted to get killed that day,

so he could put an end to this war he had started with the Chinese in 329 B.C. In 327 B.C.,the Chinese Pontiff,Zhou Xian Wang ordered his Chinese General,Sun Tzu (Eastern Zhou ,Field Marshal) to pursue the retreating Greeks back to their homeland,then demand their 'Formal Surrender'. Sun Tzu's plan was to hem the Greek army along the coast of India,force them to travel and march along the coast to get back to their homeland. Before Alexander left India,he took prisoner King Porus of India,as a valuble hostage,to bargain later with the Chinese. As the defeated Greeks marched along the coast back to 'Persepolis'(Iran),a huge Chinese army followed behind,led by Sun Tzu. Alexander landed in Iran in 326 B.C., Alexander tried to convince the Chinese that he was a Persian,but many Persians hated Alexander for what he did to Pharaoh, Darius III (Born 380 B.C. - Died 330 B.C.) of 'Persepolis'(Iran),

many Persians went to the victorious Chinese General,Sun Tzu (Eastern Zhou Empire),pointed out that Alexander was no Persian,he was in fact a Greek,the Persians also made known to the Chinese that the 'Greek Empire' consisted of '100 Greek Provinces',that it was the Greeks who made war on China,not the Persians. In 326 B.C.,Sun Tzu ordered the surrender of Alexander 'the Great'(Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.),'Pontifex-Maximus'(Leader of the 'Patrician Greek Caste') of 'Athens'(Greece),or Sun Tzu would push his Chinese army all the way to the 'Island of Britannia',Alexander conceded to Sun Tzu's wishes,but Alexander reminded Sun Tzu that he had King Porus of India,as a hostage. When negotiations between Alexander and Sun Tzu started,Sun Tzu wanted half the 'Greek Empire'(100 Greek Provinces),plus all land holdings in Eurasia,so '50 Greek Provinces'(Western Greek Empire) would go to Alexander,while the other '50 Greek Provinces'(Eastern Greek Empire) would become part of the 'Eastern Zhou Empire',Alexander argued that he had King Porus of India,as a hostage,an important Chinese ally. With the safe return of King Porus back to India,Alexander got '54 Greek Provinces'(later to become 'Roman Empire'),while the Chinese received all of Eurasia,plus '46 Greek Provinces'(Eastern Greek Empire),so the 'Peace Treaty' was signed in 326 B.C. In 326 B.C., 'The Pillars of Heracles' was created,separating the 'Western Greek Empire'(54 Greek Provinces) from the 'Eastern Greek Empire'(46 Greek Provinces),a barrier was set up by the Chinese to prevent free exchange or communication,specifically,political and idealogical barrier. The Chinese General,Sun Tzu who demanded Alexander 'the Greats' (Born 6/10/356 B.C. - Died 6/10/323 B.C.) surrender in 326 B.C.,is more fameous for demanding Alexander 's surrender then the book he would later write,and still exists to this day,'The Art of War' .
