Chapter 223 Continue to be friends
Yang Feng told Truman that he had decided to help Li Zongren. No matter what the US government's attitude was, he would not change this position.
As long as Li Zongren is allowed to stand in a good team, the rest will be simple. Of course, he did not expect the Americans to directly support Li Zongren. As long as they don’t interfere and continue to stay out of the matter, especially to keep the United Nations clear. After all, Hongshawarth is still a member of the United Nations. But there should be no problem with this. After all, the bald man is still a permanent member. No matter how he is, he will not sell Li Zongren. After all, that is his vice president. What's more, on his map, northern Myanmar is originally the territory of the Republic of China, which is at most a territorial dispute between the two countries. If it is put into the United Nations, it will be a matter of being mixed.
Yang Feng didn't know that the bald guy was almost happy at this time. His intelligence system was not a good meal. Director Mao also discovered the abnormal mobilization of the Xinhua Army in Yunnan. When contacting Yang Feng, he felt like he was stepped on his tail. He could not guess that the warming couple was about to show each other's knife. This news made the bald guy tremble with excitement. He knew very well what it meant to him once Yang Feng and Comrade Li started fighting.
In fact, it was different from what was promoted in later generations that the Americans supported him as a thug and had a different will to fight against the people. At least at this time, when the American little brother had this wonderful job, he was just wishful thinking. The Americans did not have the interest in this. He really got what he wanted when he got the Goryeo War. But at this time, the bald man did not have the ability to predict the future. He knew that he would not have to worry about anything for half a year. Now he was worried about everything.
It is really difficult for bald guys to be surrounded by enemies and storms. There are strong enemies outside and chaotic people inside. Perhaps only Brother Pao has the only one who can accompany him. Apart from asking Sister Meiling to come to the United States to beg her grandfather to sue her grandmother. He has nothing to do.
But if Yang Feng and Comrade Li start fighting, he will not have to worry about anything.
In the style of Head Yang, you must have money and guns. Aircraft, tanks, and warships are coming one after another, joining Li Zongren and the east, and the counterattack is just around the corner!
It is said that in recent days, the bald man has even spoken in public.
However, he soon discovered that he was about to have a happy life again.
Comrade Li increased his troops on the border, but he did not take action just by increasing his troops. Yang Feng did dispatch troops everywhere, and even the aircraft carriers drove to Hong Kong. The bombers went to northern Myanmar for exercises. The tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and self-propelled artillery continued to move into the secret place, but they didn't fight. The two sides stared at each other tensely, and they kept staring at each other for more than half a month.
They were staring at each other there, and Li Zongren would not be idle. After the Forty-Eighth Army headed south to join the battlefield, the most classic combination of the Guangxi clique immediately burst out with the most powerful combat power. Bai Chongxi personally commanded and easily defeated the Burmese army's defense line in Indo, like a mountain torrent, pouring down towards the central plain of the Irrawaddy River. The Burmese army led by Wu Naiwen was defeated again and again. He soon retreated to the border of the Irrawaddy River.
By this time, Comrade Li still did not move.
You guys are going to fight!
The bald man shouted in grief and anger countless times, but fortunately, he knew that he had no need to shout anymore. Because the Ming merchant ship on standby in Hong Kong left Victoria Harbor and continued to sail for Tianjin.
Well, Comrade Li surrendered.
"That's right. Friends, friends should be like this. In order to express my respect for Comrade Li, I have already prepared the maintenance of Chongqing University!"
Head of State Yang said happily.
With the help of a professional salvage company in Daming, Comrade Li had already fished out the Chongqing, but because he needed to dock for maintenance, he was not that big, so he could only drag it to the shipyard near the Dalian base in the Soviet Union. After evaluation, the Ming engineers in charge of salvage thought that it would not cost much, the hull was fine, the boiler was fine, the power system was damaged, and the main gun was not damaged. The Ming Navy had a large number of spare parts from the British warships, and just put them in, and the speed was faster and it would be a year to finish the work.
However, because they were in a shipyard controlled by the Soviets, their words didn't work, and the Soviets' evaluation cost was huge.
Of course, Yang Feng was just talking casually. It is hard to say whether Comrade Li practices or not. It is said that there is a Soviet expert group that will soon rush to conduct a second evaluation. It is estimated that Comrade Li will have to wait for their evaluation results. After all, in terms of love, he still believes in the big brother, not to mention that those Ming engineers only maintain warships, not to mention that those warships are not built by the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Lao Pan just listened casually. The Chongqing had entered the Dalian shipyard. The Soviets would definitely not let Yang Feng's people repair it unless they were dragged out to Xinhua's own territory. However, in that case, they would offend the Soviets politically. For a cruiser that didn't know whether it could be repaired, it would be completely unworthy of the cost. So how to deal with this cruiser in the end is still a relatively troublesome thing.
Between Yang Feng and Stalin, Comrade Li was also very embarrassed. He couldn't bear to let go of the benefits Yang Feng brought to him, and he could not affect Comrade Stalin's relationship too much. He walked tremblingly on the slender road under his feet like walking a tightrope. The little wind would sway twice.
Of course, these things are not what Lao Pan needs to worry about at the moment, he has another task.
"His Excellency, if possible, we hope to talk directly with them. After all, Li Zongren was also a famous general in the War of Resistance and had made contributions to the nation. Whether he was willing to return to the embrace of the people or not, we would be willing to give him a chance."
Old Pan said simply.
This is still thinking about the rhythm of incorporating Li Zongren, but Comrade Li may not be so naive.
"No problem, what I like most is dialogue and problem solving. We are all family members, so what are you fighting!"
Yang Feng said without hesitation.
He was not worried about this issue. If Li Zongren could be incorporated, he would not have run away after he was involved. However, it would be a good thing for Yang Feng to have a direct dialogue channel. He could not always be a nanny for Li Zongren. Many things will need to be dealt with by themselves in the future.
Since this is the case, there is nothing to say. Yang Feng then arranged a plane to send Lao Pan to Impal, and then flew to Mizhi in Impal. He and Li Zongren didn't know each other. Let's talk about anything by themselves. As the head of state often said, dialogue is the best way to solve the problem.
At this moment, Wu Nu also wanted to talk to solve the problem, but he was forced to do so. If he didn't talk to him, he would come to Mandalay. Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Li Zongren actually has an armored force.
After the previous stage of the battle, Li Mi's Eighth Army replaced the Seventh Army, which had been in front, and he appeared on the battlefield with an armored regiment, Sherman tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. After seeing these steel monsters appear, the Burmese army, which was already afraid of being beaten, was left to collapse.
Especially those infantry fighting vehicles, which were simply unstoppable on the central plains of Irrawaddy, with all the latest automatic rifles, can be said to be a man who killed people, killing Buddhas, rivers, mud, and rice fields, and letting them gallop. Like wolves on the grassland, they kept in the desperate eyes of the Burmese army, splitting and surrounding them and tearing off a piece of bloody meat.
This armored force was originally a secret wary of Comrade Li's attack. After confirming that Comrade Li would not intervene, Yang Feng directly refused and gave it to Li Zongren on the spot. Because the latter did not have tank soldiers, most of them were Ming troops. These people had fought for many years, and their combat experience was not inferior to that of any of the armored forces of the Mi, Britain and the Soviet Union. To put it bluntly, it was just a duck to fight against the Burmese army, which basically had no anti-tank means.
As for such an armored force, Yang Feng gave Li Zongren four. He originally gave two armored brigades, but Li Mi, who was familiar with the situation here, believed that there was no need for such a large organization and reorganized into four armored regiments.
However, Wu Nu was scared, not entirely because of the failure on the battlefield. After all, no matter how much he failed, there was a natural danger in the Irrawaddy River. The real core area of the Burmese people was on the downstream plains, and Mandalay was not considered the core area to the north. What he was really afraid of was that he had just learned that Yang Feng sent arms to the Karen Alliance. Compared with Li Zongren, this was a heartbreak! Their main control area was only about one hundred kilometers away from Yangon.
Of course, the Karen people did not lack his spies. He just learned that a Siam Chinese merchant sold a total of 20,000 old Hanyang-made rifles to the Karen Alliance at an extremely low price. It is said that he also assured the Karen people that if he wanted such old arms, he could get even 200,000.
Wu Nu is not a fool. It seems that Li Zongren is eliminating this. Apart from the Guangxi clan, no one else has used Hanyang to make a lot of things. When he thinks of the Karen Alliance receiving all the arms eliminated by Li Zongren, he feels numb. If this happens, he will never have peace.
But he was also powerless to do anything about it. The Karen people's territory was in the southeast, with a long border with Siam hundreds of kilometers. It was all deep mountains and dense forests. There were very few areas that the Honshawadie government troops could control, and they could completely open the door to trade. The Siam government was actually controlled by Chinese capitalists. They dared not to care about such smuggling. In fact, the Siam government wanted to be in trouble with the Honshawadie government. Who would not like the fen-split of neighboring countries?
Obviously, if he continues to fight, he will lose more than northern Myanmar.
After realizing that he no longer has the ability to change all this, Wu Nu immediately asked the British government to propose a ceasefire negotiation between the two sides. (To be continued.)
