Chapter 852: New Shan State
Northern Myanmar, Shan State, Doylang.
Now Zhang Qifu has handed over all the external affairs to his second and third sons stationed in Manxingdie, and he himself has devoted himself to the army, and has done his best to complete the work of chairman of the Shan Gang Autonomous State and commander-in-chief of the Shan Gang Army. His eldest son, who was sick with polio, was unable to do any work and had to recuperate at home.
Putting down Joseph's phone, Zhang Qifu thought for a moment, casually put the phone aside, picked up a document and looked.
Most of Shan State was historically Chinese territory, and when John colonized it, he twice forced the Qing government to sign a border designation and put Shan State into the arms of Burmadian, but the inhabitants here are still mainly Chinese. Since it is the two regions of Kokang and Wa in Shan State, they speak Mandarin in yuan, believe in the Communist Party, and the people in power are also Chinese.
In fact, before 2000, it was always Chinese who were in power here in Shan State. Even now, Burma is still in constant war, and the leaders of the rebels are still mainly Chinese, and they are the army of the Burmese Communist Party.
At this time in 89, Peng Jiasheng, who considered himself a stateless person's ancestral home in Bashu, Peng Jiafu brothers and Peng Jiasheng's deputy, deputy commander of the Kokang Army, and Yang Maoliang, a tractor driver on a farm in southern Yunnan who entered Burma from southern Yunnan to join the Communist Party of Myanmar in the 60s, controlled the Kokang area.
Born in southern Yunnan, Bao Youxiang and Zhao Nilai, Lu Xingguo, Yan Ken, Zhou Kun, Guo Zhiming, Yang Fukang, Guo Zhi and others broke away from the Communist Party of Burma to form the Wa Gang United Party, which controls the northern and southern Wa states.
In addition, Zhang Qifu and his chief of staff Zhang Suquan were the largest armed forces in Shan State at this time.
Zhang Suquan is a native of Liaodong, an officer of the Kuomintang special forces, and the 20th phase of Whampoa. In fact, the military activities of the Guoming Party in Southeast Asia continued until the early 70s, and the main place of activity was northern Burma.
In history, we all know that Kim Taiyang, who founded Greater Korea, and Ho Chi Minh, who established Greater South Vietnam, were both members of our party, cadres of our army, and in fact the Communist Party of Burma.
The entire Shan State, consisting of Kokang and Wa, is led by Han Chinese, who speak Mandarin and circulate the renminbi in Chinese, and children go to school to learn Chinese characters and then Burmese. This is also the reason why the Burmese government regards this side as a thorn in its side and has always wanted to pull it out. Kokang is the area with the largest number of Han people, and in order to integrate into it, it is called the Kokang tribe, which means that the Han people are decisive and brave.
Now that most of the Kokang area is controlled by the Burmese military, Peng Jiasheng is dying and fighting again.
……
Zhang Qifu read Zhang Xingming's letter.
Zhang Xingming still recognized Zhang Qifu as a person, and after contact, Zhang Xingming also had the idea of supporting Zhang Qifu, which prompted China and Zhang Qifu to reach an agreement on weapons and equipment and military training. And tried his best to recall the history of northern Myanmar, combined the things in his memory with reality, and wrote such a letter to Zhang Qifu, which can be regarded as a guiding document.
In the letter, Zhang Xingming analyzed the current situation in northern Burma, assumed several possible changes in the future, analyzed and guided the thinking and program of army building, and then put forward a proposal to merge Kokang and unite Wa State to unify Shan State.
Zhang Xingming said bluntly: "I have no interest in northern Myanmar, but I am full of interest in the whole Burmese store." The three of you are all Han Chinese armed forces, and they are inherently in opposition to the Burmese government, which can never be changed, so why can't you fight against the government even if they are called rebels?
If the alliance can be effectively reached, the Peng Jiasheng brothers are suitable for the army, and Bao Youxiang and Zhao Nilai are suitable for the government. General Zhang and Peng Jiasheng are both committed to anti-drug people, and they should be able to reach a consensus. Yang Maoliang has an old relationship with the Wa State and can be used, but this person is very profitable, and it is difficult to agree with the general's anti-drug goals, and there is a possibility of counter-purpose, so be cautious.
Now that the Kokang, Eastern Shan, Northern Shan, Wa and Kachin ministries have sought unity, and according to reliable sources, a joint conference will be held soon, and the result of the analysis is that the success of this alliance is 90 percent, and Bao Youxiang may be appointed commander of the coalition forces.
The cultivation of opium poppy I mean I still suggest that you continue to do it, at present, this will be an important source of funds for you, it cannot be changed in a short period of time, as long as the control of the product does not circulate to the country, it can all be shipped to Europe and the United States, I have a little relationship with the mafia Gambino family Shami, you can trust him. Soon after, he will be the new patriarch of the Gambino family and is brokering an alliance between the five families.
Yang Maoliang will not mind transporting all drugs into the country, he will be very willing to do so, and you must control this.
Your army is currently in training, and what is needed at this time is peace, send more messengers, and buy us enough time. At this time, you can develop agriculture and smooth out the management class of the government, which you can talk more about with Bao Youxiang and Zhao Ni. When the army is formed, I have prepared some good things for you, which will be transferred to you from the country at that time.
After the army is reorganized, it is necessary to immediately begin preparations for expansion, and at least the army must be formed into the size of three integrated armies. You can discuss and handle the recruitment of people, and there is no shortage of powerful and bloody men in Shan State, but there is one thing that must be paid attention to, do not recruit any young students into the army, not any of them, let them be students of the local ethnic group.
It is inevitable that these students who have received too much education from the outside world will cause confusion in the minds of the officers and men at the lower levels, and at least there will be turmoil at the lower levels, and at worst there will be division and betrayal, and I am by no means joking. A small spark falling on the grassland can be a fire that cannot be extinguished, and who knows what kind of gifts are in store for you?
You don't need to worry about money and materials, I will arrange everything for you. At that time, my advice is to go north first and then go south, and after the north has no worries, the south will become calm, even if it is a little slower. Before the north stabilizes, we must not rush to open up the northern and southern Wa states, which are the strings of the Burmese government, and if there is a touch, it will be war, and fighting on two fronts is not good for us.
I have only one ultimate goal in the whole plan, if one day you take power, please never forget your Han identity, deal with the contradictions between ethnic groups, so that the Han people can live in this land stably and happily. Then, I'm going to Katonkani, where I'm going to build some industrial facilities and build a port terminal to complete my worldwide layout. ”
Zhang Qifu carefully read the letter twice, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then got up, took a lighter and burned the letter into fly ash and threw it into a basin of water, and went out of the house with the basin to pour water on the ground on the side of the barracks.
