Chapter 52: Plan ahead (3)

The .正国 is the third largest ethnic group among the 135 ethnic groups in Myanmar, second only to the Burmese and Kachin. The population of this ethnic group accounts for about 12% of the total population of Myanmar. Perhaps it was a bit "wild" by the vast jungle and the continuous mountains. Since the two words "Myanmar" have become a geographical concept, this nation that regards jungle and mountains as its home has been brave and warlike with its bravery, "arrogant and unruly", and has always been the "people" that the Burmese emperors are the most "worry" of the "people" of the Burmese emperors.

When the British captured Mandalay, the capital of the last dynasty of Myanmar in 1887, and then occupied Myanmar in full, they did not put much effort into "remediation" of the territories of the territories, which they thought were "less oil and water" and "more troubles", they simply required the territories of the territories and the leaders to maintain a "minimum" respect for the British Empire's "custody" of Myanmar. This respect does not even include ordinary people.

The power of British citizens to pass freely on the land of the country. Only after saying "hello" in advance, those British businesses aimed at going north to Yunnan can be unobstructed in the area. In this sense, it is not an exaggeration to call the people of the celestial tribe at this time the celestial tribe with the highest degree of "autonomy" in Myanmar. But as we all know, the British never do business at a loss, and convert the taxes they collect from the upper class of the celestial tribe in physical form every year.

It's not a small number. So the former "Governor" of Myanmar once said, "It would be great if tens of millions of people in Myanmar live in the mountains." If there was a village that refused to pay the "protection fee", or the "mountain goods" such as tiger skin, gold and silver were not enough, the British, who claimed to be the highest "civilization" in the world, would not mind using the soldiers of the Royal Musket Team to protect them with bayonets.

As long as the hypocritical British people dispatched their troops, they would not kill those heads alone. The social structure of the tribes was similar to the basils during the Three Kingdoms of China. They were destroyed in the fire. After the cross-border villages were burned, the British army would kill the men of the tribes with "dangerous" tribes, and then the tax officials would transport the women and children caught to the foot of the mountain to sell them to supplement the "economic losses" that the British Empire "incurred".

It is conceivable how much harm the bloody plunder of the British, which was open and persistent, brought to the people in the district? And how much unforgettable hatred can be gained in the hearts of the people with a strong and unyielding personality!

A simple high-pressure policy is easy to use, and it also has a fatal disadvantage, that is, in order to maintain the ruling order with force, the rulers' military strength must always be continuously strengthened. In the long run, this is a task that no one can accomplish.

The moon is full and waning, and the country has rise and fall. Although Britain won the victory with the help of the United States in World War I, it was also greatly consumed by the four-year war. Affected by this. After World War I, Britain's control over various overseas colonies was declining. Myanmar, which was forcibly defeated by Britain and became a province of India. This is no exception.

In this environment, many anti-British armed forces arose in the ethnic minority areas under the banner of "autonomousness, independence, and resistance to tyranny." The Shan State Independence Army was one of the largest forces.

The above alone is not enough to constitute the reason why Cheng Jiaji attaches great importance to this weapon of only a thousand people. Cheng Jiaji cares about the location of Yanbang! The term Yanbang may be a little nameless. But if we say another synonym for this land, we are afraid that everyone will know it, that is the Golden Triangle! To be precise, Yanbang is the part of the Burmese part of the Golden Triangle. Anyone with a little military and geography can understand that if China can lay a few secret chess in northern Myanmar where Yanbang is located, it will be of great help to the actions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force that is about to embark on the Myanmar territory!

To be honest, before meeting with General Wu Leon, Cheng Jiaji, who thought he had some understanding of the country that believed in Buddhism, was not without any contempt for him. But as soon as he met, the other party's suit and ties were surprised by the gentlemanly style of the British. After a moment of conversation, Cheng Jiaji realized that the vibrant and vibrant elite sitting in front of him, who could speak fluent Chinese, full of new terms, and were only about thirty years old, was completely different from the old representatives of the "evil" who had conservative thoughts and outdated ideas that he had imagined. During the conversation, Cheng Jiaji, who was extremely sensitive to a certain trend of thought, even smelled a trace of the "red breath" of conversation from the other party.

And this General Leon did not disappoint Cheng Jiaji's "expectations". After the topic was put to the point, he immediately put forward a package of "small" requests that made Cheng Jiaji feel deeply troubled.

"General Leon. To be honest, if you want to avoid withdrawing taxes from transit goods, not to mention that I don't have this power, even Chongqing can do nothing. I think you should talk to Chairman Long of Yunnan Provincial Government about this issue." Although the etiquette smile on Cheng Jiaji's face had not faded yet, his eyes had already begun to feel cold. Hell! This guy's lion's mouth was too wide! It was just a matter of fear.

The goods of the National Independence Army are exempt from duty, but if you really want to operate, Cheng Jiaji dares to pat his chest to guarantee that all the horse gangs that transit from northern Myanmar will be replaced by the banner of the Independence Army overnight. What does that mean? Yunnan basically received money from the Sino-Myanmar border! Cheng Jiaji didn't want to be the "Dragon Zi" who dared to shoot in public by the second lady of Kong's "Sage" and chased her with a pistol for a round of death.

"As for sending a few military instructors to your department, it is still OK. In addition, I can also provide some funds for your organization's activities." Cheng Jiaji said that there are still places that rely on tribe forces. Is this "food"? Is it still not that I dare not not feed it!

"We have gold, silver, and opium in our hands. Please ask Mr. Chu (who asked everyone to use a pseudonym for the inspection team to use a pseudonym, and Cheng Jiaji used the real name of Chu Yuan) to ask your government to support 800 rifles and some ammunition. It took too much time to get the "goods" and it was not peaceful on the way. These arms were better to hand over the borders of the two countries. Also, can we send some people to Chongqing to learn the necessary knowledge of military and other construction of the country." The young leader of the clan was undoubtedly a smart person. When the first request was rejected, he did not bother him anymore, but quickly shifted his thinking to a more realistic direction.

"No problem!" Although smuggling guns and ammunition from Sichuan into Yunnan, which is very wary of the "central" and then transported to the China-Myanmar border, it is not easy to work. However, because the "suffering and burdened" is the dark psychology of others, Cheng Jiaji has no objection. Besides, Leon was not said to have that kind of gun. At this time, there is no other place in China. The old cylindrical tube made in Hanyang that was eliminated. Anyway, in Cheng Jiaji's plan, the Independence Army of the Clan is at best an internal role. It is too powerful and it is disguised as bad things. As for a few people who are Clans who go to Chongqing to study, it is even more trivial. (Reading on mobile phone piao tian.cn) Perhaps it was because the great power of the Celestial Empire had been working for too long. When it came to foreign exchanges, no matter how poor the Chinese people were, they would not learn to be stingy internationally. Cheng Jiaji estimated that the Supreme Government had no reason to not follow the matter of "foreign foreign countries" studying, which could be related to "all countries coming to court", and most of them would be exempted from all costs. He thought this way, but there was a factual basis. Have you seen that half of China was lost. His own people were already in sorrow. The government also spent every year to equip a Class A Division to raise the Korean exile government "white and fat". In comparison, what is the cost of those who studied omnivorous food and accommodation!

Cheng Jiaji Cifeng said sharply: "The Chinese are trustworthy! What I promised will be fulfilled one by one. However, I also know what you and your brave warriors can do for us? You should know that the border people of the two countries are in line with each other and have close contacts. If we only need a few guides to lead the way, our country can solve it itself!"

Although the "domineering" unique to the strong side shown by Cheng Jiaji inevitably hurt Leon's national self-esteem, but the reality that is inferior to others has forced him to suppress his unhappiness and respond as lowly as possible: "In order to cooperate with your army to enter Myanmar, I can create a considerable riot in northern Myanmar a few days before your army enters the country. I wonder if your country is satisfied with this answer?

"The general's method is good, but the choice of the goal is the key! It is of no significance to our country to attack several township police stations. It is useful to attack Myitkyina, and I am afraid that your side will not be able to do so. So? At that time, we will send a strengthening regiment to sneak into Myitkyina in batches, put on the clothes of your army, and help you with your army when attacking Myitkyina?" Cheng Jiaji's familiar words made General Leon, who was recognized as "the future of the clan", pale. Until now, Leon, who is highly regarded, truly experienced the cunning plan of Mr. Chu, who looks more like a playboy than the eldest son of the Tusi family.

Eleon's shrewdness would not be able to see the other party's move, which was to put himself and the Independence Army of the Clan in a dilemma. Leon, who was very careful and meticulous, knew very well that once the Chinese army entered the country, the Independence Army would be dispersed and used as a vassal army. If it was difficult to expand its power, it would not only be subject to early control, but also missed the opportunity to develop in chaos, but also exposed the cooperation between the Independence Army and China in broad daylight. Although the other party said it nicely, Leon was not naive yet. He would think that thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers who just changed their clothes could hide the truth by pretending to be dumb. What's more, in Leon's imagination, even if his compatriots could not see it, Most of the national army will take the initiative to "explain" its identity. There is no reason. In this way, the Independence Army of the Clan will be tied to the Chinese chariot and will never come down again. Leon is afraid that this will not come down. If the British fight back in the future and settle the old accounts, it will be amazing. It should be noted that the riots and the "suburban" army of foreigners are not a big deal in the eyes of the British. Large-scale retaliation massacre of the Clan is essential, but that's all. But if the crime of "connecting with foreign countries" is implemented, the British will definitely spend a lot of effort to suppress the living space of the Clan. This matter is so big! If the handling is not properly handled, the Clan will become a historical term!

"Mr. Chu, I think I should not work on your country's army. With the strength of our tribe, I dare not say that I can capture Myitkyina. The siege can still be done. However, can you support us with some heavy machine guns and mortars on the eve of the launch!" The two evils are the least. In order for the entire nation to have more room for maneuver, Leon had to bite the bullet and hug the Myitkyina brazier.

"General Leon, I still have those three words, no problem!" In fact, what Leon chose was exactly what Cheng Jiaji wanted. Just imagine. If the entire central and southern part of Myanmar was being beaten to the point of being shaking by the fierce Japanese, the central city of Myitkyina in northern Myanmar was surrounded by the "rebels" who rose up in time. In such a harsh situation, even if the arrogant British could still calm down, Cheng Jiaji dared to guarantee that Washington would force London to invite Chinese troops to Myanmar to help "quell the rebellion".

As soon as Leon left with mixed feelings, Cheng Jiaji, who had been fighting with others for a long time, was really tired, and said to himself weakly: "Brother Burn, does West Point Military Academy teach eavesdropping classes? Why don't I know!"

Don’t say, there are really people! As Cheng Jiaji finished speaking, a Burmese costume that could even put the most casual skirt and slippers in the taste of a golden sword and iron horse, flashing out of the dark side of the door.

"I just passed by and ran into it, and it was hard to walk. I heard it." Such a sense of humor was probably only the standard subway blood soldier who could answer it.

Fortunately, after going through the cross-border journey, Cheng Jiaji became accustomed to his "refractory" personality. Sometimes he wondered why the land taught in the US military academy was a German-style soldier?

Cheng Jiaji changed his previous life and asked with every word. "Brother Buren, you are a great talent, Leon!"

"This man makes decisive choices and acts very rationally. He is a powerful character. It's a pity that he has too few cards in his hand. He is suppressed by you."

"Brother Bolun, you're right. Our ancestors are so glorious. Although they are now in a dilapidated house, they are not comparable to those of the poor boys of the clan." Facing Cheng Jiaji, who was so stern, General Sun, who was used to being serious, could he have any other expressions besides a wry smile?

"Brother Beron, when it comes to Burmese people, you may not know. Three hours ago, the Burmese General Hongshan said he was sick and refused our invitation, but let the person who passed the message bring back his greetings to "Mr. Chu"! The gifts he sent only symbolically left two worthless ones. What do you think about this?" When Cheng Jiaji first treated the guests, he prepared a gift for these countless people, such as two brand new Brownings, three hundred bullets and some valuable clothing for Leon. The gifts to Hongshan, who were extremely powerful and Leon, were naturally much more expensive.

"Haoran! Hongshan is the number one leader of the independent forces in Myanmar. He plays an important role in the current situation where the storm is about to come. The British, American, and Japanese are trying their best to win him over. It is normal for us to be unable to get to the eyes of others. It is good to leave room for a better meeting in the future. The purpose of your visit to him is probably just to report a preparatory first and leave a line!"

Cheng Jiaji, who was clearly focused on General Sun, had not had time to answer, but a middle-aged man with high cheekbones had already walked to the door.

"What's the matter!" Cheng Jiaji was quite satisfied with the capable butler arranged by the owner.

"Bai Xiansheng, Zhe is the list of the returnees just sent by the housekeeper of Lyon Xiansheng." One quarter of Chinese blood not only gave him a much taller figure than the locals, but also allowed him to stammer and speak some commonly used Chinese. Although the pronunciation is strange, it can barely be regarded as meaningful words.

"Take it!" Cheng Jiaji, who had long heard of the custom of Burmese returning gifts, was a little interested in the things on this gift list.

After Cheng Jiaji took the return gift list, he was immediately given the gift.

Seeing Cheng Jiaji's disobedience, General Sun curiously stepped forward. After a glance, the face of this military training talent who had always been famous for his calmness and calmness was "unmoved". The poker face suddenly became distorted and became extremely "vibrant".

With such power, the two generals who have experienced and knowledgeable all at the same time were not the precious Burmese jade vessels on the gift list, but the age, name, whether they could be Chinese or not, and other information about the four girls written in the last few columns of the gift list. What made Cheng Jiaji and General Sun particularly shocked was that the "virgin" style was specially marked next to each girl's name. In a word, Leon, the leader of the national liberation movement, gave Cheng Jiaji four virgins aged twelve to fourteen!

After a long time, General Sun, who was still unrelated, returned to his normalcy first. He said a joke for the first time: "Haoran, you are right here to come to Myanmar. According to the current situation, when you go back, you can bring at least one beautiful woman from all races with you! Is it considered to have won glory for my China? Good thing! Good thing! It's just that the work of the four younger siblings must be done home!"

It is hard for Cheng Jiaji to laugh at this time, but no matter how you look at this smile, it is even worse than crying.

Soon, Cheng Jiaji learned from the feedback from various groups who had already gone to various places that they were forced to accept such hot "gifts" by the overly "hospitable" owners. There were as many as forty or fifty people under the calculation. Among them, some of them were "lucky" to receive a pair of twins.

For a time, how to properly handle these "gifts" naturally became the top priority of the inspection team. Return to the original owner? According to the "customs" of Myanmar, the toasts who felt that they were hurt by face will only have one reaction, and they will give them more! Leaving the person without saying goodbye, then everything I did before will not only be in vain, but will also be regarded as enemies by the toasts who are well-off next time! Give them freedom halfway? This idea is good, but

In reality, it is the most cruel for girls who are regarded as property! In the countryside of Myanmar, an ordinary woman has no "master", and everything is no guarantee, and her situation will be much more miserable than before being sent out! Finally, after two days of special telegram discussion, the inspection team made a public agreement to send these "gifts" back to Yangon, and asked the Chinese Business Association to arrange for work in the industry of its chamber of commerce members.

Just for this, Cheng Jiaji owed Situ Gong a favor! You know, it would be too easy to ask women to work for you in Myanmar. If Situ was not for the great face and the careful Chinese businessmen said, they would not be willing to use the price of using the education of urban women in the city to go to a group of illiterate "mountain girls" who were ignorant of them.
