Chapter 592: The Battle of Burma (End)
Looking at Aung San's appearance, Wang Mingyu was really angry and funny. If he really came to wipe out them, would he bring such a few people? Aung San also had a little bit of a pig's brain. He said it just now, but he still couldn't understand the meaning? Of course, this cannot be blamed on Aung San. Wang Mingyu has never experienced the days when people are the slaughter and the life of fish and meat. They didn't know Aung San's complicated mood at this moment, a kind of depression of powerless resistance. Everything in front of absolute strength is a paper tiger.
Wang Mingyu said: "General Aung San, I think you misunderstood what I mean. I believe you don't know the purpose of my Chinese Expeditionary Force coming this time, right?"
Aung San shook his head, and Wang Mingyu continued: "The purpose of our Chinese Expeditionary Force this time is actually to help the British fight against the Japanese. They sent a telegram to our Chinese supreme leader for help. We agreed, we came to help them, but they ran away. This disappointed me very much, but when we were about to kill the Japanese, the British told us that Myanmar is them. Isn't this a funny thing?"
Aung San was also the boss who opened his mouth when he listened to Wang Mingyu's words. Aung San didn't know that the British could be so shameless. Aung San said with a depressed look: "Is it possible that the British who always ruled us have this kind of face? It's really hard to believe it, but I believe what General Wang said. If they were not shameless, they wouldn't have always thought about invading other countries."
Wang Mingyu didn't go around with Aung San and said, "General Aung San, our time is very urgent! I'll chat with you here, and there are opportunities to chat in the future. Today I come to negotiate with you on behalf of the People's Government of China."
Aung San wondered, "Negotiate with us? This..." Aung San was confused all of a sudden. Shouldn't the National Government wipe out itself? Even if it doesn't wipe out itself, it should be a revenge itself. What kind of negotiation is the negotiation? Besides, just this thing is my own, is there any qualification for negotiation? Aung San observed Wang Mingyu's face very carefully. After confirming that this guy was not a joke, he also looked at Wang Mingyu seriously.
Wang Mingyu said: "We China are also seeking a path of independence. In fact, it is just an enlarged version of Myanmar. So when it comes to the issue of Myanmar, what our country has always advocated is to support Myanmar to establish its own country independently."
Aung San was excited when he heard this. This was definitely a great thing about a pie falling from the sky. He didn't expect that such a good thing would fall on his head. How could Aung San be unhappy? Not only Aung San, but even the generals behind him were happy and looked a lot more energetic. That's right, a person can control his emotions from great sorrow to great joy. Then this person is simply a dragon and phoenix among people. How many people in the world can do it?
Wang Mingyu continued: "On behalf of the National Government, my Chinese Expeditionary Force's next main task in Myanmar is to help Myanmar establish the country. But I have one condition..."
"Here!" Aung San said in his heart, but he still said, "Since the Chinese Expeditionary Force is sincere, we can agree as long as it is not too much request." In fact, Aung Shang also knew that if he received the help of this Chinese Expeditionary Force, then in the next struggle, they would definitely be able to establish the Republic of Myanmar. In fact, if we could rely on such advantages, the founding of the country could be many years earlier, so why not do it?
Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "My request is first: the right to use the Yunnan-Burma Highway. During the battle between our country and the Japanese army, China has the right to use the Yunnan-Burma Highway for free. The second is that if the UK, the Japanese army or other countries invade Myanmar, we can help, but we must issue an invitation in the name of Myanmar so that we can help."
Aung San stared at Wang Mingyu and said, "It's gone?" Wang Mingyu smiled and shook his head, "It's gone!"
Aung San and several subordinates looked at each other and said, "Hahaha, I can naturally agree to your request, and this request is very beneficial to us. You must know that once Myanmar is independent, the British will at least come and threaten us. As long as you have your support, what else can we be afraid of? General Wang is protecting us in disguise!"
Wang Mingyu said: "In fact, the existence of any country has its own reasons. I believe that under the leadership of General Aung San, Myanmar will inevitably grow and grow."
Aung San nodded excitedly and said, "Thank you, thank you General Wang for your encouragement and praise!"
Wang Mingyu said solemnly: "From tomorrow, you will begin to declare independence to the outside world and establish friendly and cooperative relations with the Chinese government. General Aung San, I would like to ask you to remember one thing: no matter who China is in charge, I hope that as the leader of Myanmar, you will not have any strange thoughts. We do not expect you to sell your own interests to help us, but we hope that you will not unite with other countries to boycott our country. Once this is the case, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Aung San shook his head and said, "General Wang is so sincere to help us. If we are treacherous, then are we still considered individuals? Aung San swore here that he will never make any evil with China in his lifetime!"
Wang Mingyu said: "It is quite cumbersome to establish a country's regime. First of all, you need to have your own armed forces, and then you also need to establish various institutions. I will refer to the domestic advice for you in this regard, after all, you have no experience. The most important point is money. You can rest assured that I can even provide you with some loans."
Wang Mingyu did not provide money directly, but he had his own considerations. He was afraid that they would squander too much. These people were born in poverty, and good days were coming. Wang Mingyu was also afraid that they would not be able to bear it at all. If the time comes, the money given to them would be in vain. This is not what Wang Mingyu is most worried about. If he supports an A Dou who cannot be supported, then how could they fight against the British and Japanese [31 Novel Network Update Quick] Army?
The reason why Wang Mingyu explained before was that he did not want to meet a fence-bearer. So he gave them a lot of warnings. fence-bearer is not that easy to be a fence-bearer after all. In fact, Aung San and others did not plan to be fence-bearer, and now they are backed by a big tree. Although China is suffering from war, it can be seen from the situation in Myanmar that China's strength is still very good now.
Aung San and others were not aware of the situation in China, and Wang Mingyu actually created an illusion for Aung San, which made them feel a little afraid of being jealous. Although Aung San also knew that Chinese troops could not be so strong, since there was such a powerful army in Myanmar to protect the establishment of his own regime, what else should I worry about? Now Aung San is at a time of ambition, so he is not so stupid to do things like hiding all the birds.
Aung San said: "Well, we can accept loans. At present, our Myanmar is in a mess, and the construction of the army is also a mess. It would be great if General Wang could support us. We can all sign the Sino-Myanmar friendship treaty through agreements and make all the things we talk about into documents, so we don't need to worry about anyone's betrayal."
Aung San’s so-called establishment document was actually to prevent Wang Mingyu from firing a shot. In fact, Aung San did this forever. But carefully sailing for a thousand years is related to the future and future of Myanmar. Aung San had to be careful. Although he knew that Wang Mingyu was suspected of using himself, he explained everything clearly, which was a conspiracy. Such conditions did not allow Aung San to have any reason to refuse. You should know that if you miss such an opportunity, Aung San would regret it for life.
Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "This is what it should be. Now, please ask General Aung San to follow us to Mandalay and announce his preparations for the founding of the country. At that time, we will directly enter Yangon and establish the Myanmar regime. In this way, even if the British want to make a comeback, they should ask the people of Myanmar whether to agree. To be honest, the main reason why Myanmar has become like this is that there is no truly strong leader. I hope General Aung San will not let me down."
At this time, Aung San showed his confidence and said, "Please rest assured General Wang, I will definitely not disappoint you. Myanmar really needs to cheer up. General Wang may still stay in Myanmar, so I can naturally see my performance. If I am not suitable, General Wang can completely change to another person. As long as Myanmar is strong, I will have no regrets."
In fact, Aung Shang’s confidence in himself is also based on his own birth. Aung San has been receiving higher education at Yangon University and once led the student movement. He is very popular in Myanmar, and people who have received higher education often have their own ideas. Wang Mingyu’s understanding of Aung San is still known from his conversations. Aung San is actually the successor of communism, so Wang Mingyu has a certain understanding of him.
This is also a factor that Wang Mingyu determined to support Aung San, because he also knew that the real person in charge of China in the future was the CCP. Although Wang Mingyu's appearance at this time represented the National Government, things will always be clear in the future. Wang Mingyu's agreement signed with Aung San is also the personal name of the signing of the agreement. It will be more convincing at that time.
Aung San did not expect that Wang Mingyu was actually representing the Communist Party of China at this time, so Aung San never mentioned communism too much when seeking Wang Mingyu's help. Because he also knew that Chairman Chiang in China was hostile to the CCP, and now Aung San also urgently needed support from a strong support. Rather than saying that the National Government supported Aung San behind the scenes, it has to be said that Wang Mingyu was supporting Aung San alone.
In fact, the layout is already very good. Once Aung San establishes a republic, it will have a huge impact on China as a whole. At least in the southwest China lacks a powerful threat. Even if Chairman Chiang knows about such a thing, it is impossible to say anything. Instead of letting the British or Japanese army occupy such an important position and eyeing it, it is better to let a small country independent on its own. Politically, this also has obvious benefits.
If it is really related to the Communist Party, Chairman Chiang is probably the first to refuse to agree. Therefore, Wang Mingyu can only do the opposite and implement this matter first. After it develops to a certain extent, he will explain the situation. He said that he did not know the situation of this political party at that time, and the British must be very fierce. At this time, Chairman Chiang naturally did not want to bow to the British, so the emergence of Burma independence at this time should be the safest way to lose face.
At that time, in order to protect itself, Wang Mingyu can send troops to help Myanmar, which will become a natural thing. The British's plan to control the Southwest Gateway of China will be disappointed, and not everyone can ask for it. Obviously, the British have thought about this matter a bit too simple, and Wang Mingyu will never agree to such a request. Myanmar must not be in chaos anymore.
Now a division of the Japanese army has been besieged in Ren'anqiang, but Wang Mingyu sieges and does not kill them, in order to seduce more Japanese troops to take the bait. The Japanese army is also discussing how Myanmar will handle itself. Myanmar is now like a fishbone, stuck on the Japanese army's neck, and the Japanese army is in a dilemma. In fact, they really want to get Myanmar, but judging from the current situation, where are they transferred so many troops to the battlefield in Myanmar?
Now that the Japanese army is in a dilemma, they can only find a way to ask the base camp to ask about the next action. In the Japanese Command, several major leaders of the Japanese army were at a loss.
"Now the empire has reached a very dangerous level. The 18th Division is now trapped in Myanmar. Should we save or not?" said a second-in-command of the army. "This is not just a matter of rescue or not. Even if we go to rescue, how many troops do we need to send? The current strength of the Chinese army has exceeded our imagination. I think that temporary abandonment of Myanmar is our most correct decision."
"I don't think so. All the offensive plans we are now surrounded must have a prerequisite, that is, how long can the Chinese army be trapped here? When will we be able to seize Myanmar? If we can't even capture Myanmar with the most basic ones, then should we give up the entire Chinese?"
"I think that the troops that our army can draw are not much left. If we need to mobilize troops on a large scale, we must give up the land we have occupied. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"But we are giving up the occupied land now for a better future, right? If we are consuming it now, when will we pose a threat to the Chinese army? I think Myanmar must be saved!"
"Mr. Mainland, I think that in the current situation, we can only choose a way out, either focus on dealing with the Chinese or focus on dealing with the Americans. Now our fatigue in multi-line combat has emerged. And according to our current funding, we are no longer enough to support multiple battlefields. Now many of our troops are fighting through war, and it is difficult for them to supply their supplies to them in time."
"Myanmar must be taken. It is now the only export for Chinese people. If we cannot cut off this export in time, I am afraid that it will bring us endless trouble in the future. Moreover, we have lost too many people in Myanmar, which has greatly affected the combat plan of our command. I think at this stage, whether we want to take Myanmar or not, we must make our decision as soon as possible."
Listening to the messy discussions of the people, and most of them favored sending troops to Myanmar, Lord Lu said, "It's not that the Empire doesn't want to take Myanmar, but that we don't have the corresponding troops to take them down now. The cost of the Empire's return in Myanmar is too great. One hundred thousand people are gone silently! Could it be that we can still send 100,000 and 200,000 people? Even if we urgently mobilize so many troops now, can we be sure to win? I don't think so!"
Everyone remained silent, Lu Xiang continued: "After the war has been going on, many things are not under our control, but this does not mean that we have no way. At present, the pressure on our army is very high, but the pressure on China is definitely not small. Now that the 18th Army is in Myanmar, they will never dare to return to China. We only need to send one or two divisions to stay at the port for a long time, so the 18th Army must stay there."
When everyone thought, this is true. If this is true now, then they only need to spend the smallest price to achieve the greatest effect. The Empire is indeed unable to eat the 18th Army now, and they have formed a climate. But not being able to eat it does not mean that they cannot be held back. As long as this strong support is held back, the situation in China will take a sharp turn.
However, what worries everyone is that the current China's other force - the Communist Party of China - the workers and peasants armed forces led by the Communist Party of China has exceeded their imagination. At a certain stage and degree, it can even control the situation. For example, a certain division of the Communist Party of China, which is now making trouble in central China, is actually the division led by Li Xianyu. However, due to strict confidentiality measures, no one has found the real number of this army and the real names of all division-level leading cadres.
"Sir Land, then we will concentrate on starting a sweep in China now? And organize a large-scale battle as soon as possible to destroy the arrogant convoy of the Chinese army?"
In fact, no one knows the bitterness in Lu Xiang’s heart. How big can he organize a battle at this moment? His side still has the ability to swallow up the huge China? It seems that Lu Xiang himself has no confidence. In fact, so far, various signs have shown that the empire’s army can no longer control the rhythm of the war. The biggest problem now is not the China side, but the weakness and weakness of his side.
Lu Xiang actually knew that the Myanmar battlefield was the key, so Lu Xiang gave it back and forth the Myanmar battlefield. But the final result was very disappointing. Iida Xiangjiro was as smart as a pig, which made Lu Xiang die on the spot. When he received the other two divisions being wiped out, and another division was also fighting for beasts in Ren'anqiang. Lu Xiang felt that the sky was falling, but fortunately, there were many worlds in Founding, so he did not lose his composure on the spot.
Now the Mainland Prime Minister knows that the counterattack of the Chinese army is likely to begin, and he is still thinking of a full-scale counterattack of China. I really don’t know how these people took the position of Chief of the Imperial Staff. Could it be that they would be so optimistic? If the Empire was focused on confronting the Chinese army, then there would still be a chance. However, because the Navy had no room for performance in the Chinese side, they actually began to fight the US army wildly.
As the Secretary of the Army of the Empire, when he heard the resolution was passed, his whole heart seemed to sink to the bottom. Although he had gained the upper hand when he started raiding Pearl Harbor, he once gained the upper hand. But can the resource-scarce empire fight a protracted war with a big country like the United States? The United States is not China. Even China, even under such a strong situation, consumed the empire, let alone the United States? Those brainless pigs in the Navy!
Instead of listening to the persuasion from the crowd, Lu Xiang said: "Preserving the present is the capital for us to stand firm. Now our army's front line is too wide, and our army's soldiers cannot meet our front line now. Especially after the 100,000 people in Myanmar were broken, the empire was even more powerless to send troops to conquer. Now we need rest and rest, and then we are planning a decisive battle with the Chinese army to win the entire China! Let the empire's flag fly in China."
This is just a delaying strategy for the Prime Minister. He is indeed unable to do anything now. He also needs to prevent the Chinese army from counterattacking. It is very beneficial to collect the troops in time at this time. Li Xianyu's troops almost turned the Central China Front Army under General Hata Shunruo in the central China region, but Hata Shunruo is unwilling to give up some big cities, so he is struggling now. The entire Japanese army was frequently mobilized by Li Xianyu's troops, and I don't know how many times they were sneak attacked during this process.
Although the Japanese army lost dozens or hundreds of people in a sneak attack, but the number of times was too many? These Japanese army obviously couldn't stand it. Now they not only prevent the Chinese army from attacking each day, but also have to keep running back and forth. In fact, some Japanese army have begun to get tired of such days. When you fight smoothly, you naturally enjoy this process. But when you fight very frustratedly, you naturally start to hate such wars.
In fact, the Japanese army was also very distressed. Who would not want to accompany their wives and children at home, but the war caused them to leave their hometowns. To be honest, it was for the future of the empire. In fact, many of them had died in foreign lands, and even the bodies of many people had become fertilizers in other people's soil. Who would be willing to be this fertilizer? If there was no war, I'm afraid everyone would still be happy to go to school, work, or even farming, etc.!
The Japanese army actually had no attitude towards Myanmar. They no longer had the ability to change the current situation. Even Shinji Hata is asking the commander to transfer his people back, but it is easy to go out, but it is difficult to go back. Now they have many casualties every day, and the continuous blocking of the Japanese army this time has made this expedition to the southwest miserable. Even they are even very difficult to supply now, and the terrain in the south is quite complicated, especially after they arrived in the southwest.
The number of Japanese troops in the southwest is less than 70,000. Moreover, their supply has been interrupted. The terrain here is very complicated, and small groups of Japanese troops dare not go out to sweep, or do anything. There are constantly guerrillas, regular troops, and even bandits here that have defeated the Japanese army. The Japanese army is really not familiar with the geographical environment here, and most of these people are native people. Although their weapons are not as good as those of the Japanese army, their advantages are very great.
The commander agreed to Hata Shunroku's request. Now this unit is placed in the southwest and has no use. Moreover, if the 18th Army really returns to the southwest, they may not be able to escape. But now that these Japanese troops have begun to retreat, their roads are naturally extremely difficult. According to their commander-in-chief, it is already very lucky to be able to return 50,000.
This is not an exaggeration, but a fact. The Japanese army's goal is too great. Although they attacked cities and villages along the way, they were taken too much care and they no longer had the ability to continue to do the same as they did at the beginning. Now their biggest hope is to preserve their strength and be able to return to the central China region safely. If they consume too much on the way, they will lose a lot of meaning, and everyone knows this.
When the Japanese army's plan was underway, an uproar attracted the attention of China, Japan and Britain. That is, the Myanmar's independence army announced that Myanmar's independence!
The Japanese army's Sukijiro Iida had not withdrawn from Yangon at this time, and he almost got angry to death. These Burmese people really didn't take him seriously. However, he also knew that the Japanese army had already had a chance in Myanmar. At this time, Sukijiro Iida seemed to have become much older, and he did not have the ambition to teach these arrogant Burmese people a lesson.
Aung San was excited at this moment. He did not expect that Myanmar would be independent in his hands one day. But he did it and did it very well. He knew that he would face many things next. But this is his responsibility, the responsibility of the entire Myanmar, and he would not refuse, nor would he be afraid. Because behind him, there is a pillar of the sky that supports the country's continued progress, and this person is Wang Mingyu.
