Chapter 600

Tengchong is located in the southwest of Yunnan Province, its name began in the "Old Tang Book", since the Western Han Dynasty has changed several times, in 1913 Tengchong County was established.

Historically, Tengchong is the hub of the "Silk Road" in the southwest, and the famous "Bonan Ancient Road" is a prosperous passage from the current Shu Province to Mingkun, Dali and Baoshan in Yunnan Province, and through the Tengchong port to Myitkyina in Myanmar, Fahrenheit (now Patna) in India, Tsui Yi Shiluo (now Lavaldi) in Pakistan and Pur in Afghanistan, and then to Tashkent in the former Soviet Union.

In 1945, the Sino-Indian Highway (Stilwell Highway) was expanded and built on the basis of this ancient Silk Road, and vehicles could go directly to Kolkata, India, making Tengchong an important port to Myanmar, India and other Southeast Asian and South Asian countries.

Tengchong's border with North Myanmar is 148 kilometers long, and it is about 217 kilometers from Tengchong to Myitkyina, the capital of North Myanmar Kachin Province. The county covers an area of 5,845 square kilometers, with the highest altitude of 3,780 meters, the lowest altitude of 930 meters, and the county seat of 1,640 meters above sea level.

The Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong is the pearl of the Hengduan Mountains, which was formed in the fierce collision of the Eurasian plate and the Indian plate. Some people say that standing on the top of Gaoligong Mountain, a pair of feet on two continents, one step to the east is the Asian continent, and one step to the west is the Indian continent.

There are 99 volcanoes in Tengchong County, 88 hot springs spraying pearls and splashing jade, which is the only volcanic and geothermal coexistence area in the Chinese mainland, and the scale is large, the landscape is magical, and it is rare in the world.

With the organized and planned "North Burma Resettlement Project" and "Factory Demolition Project" carried out by Tiangong International Group, the streets of Tengchong have become increasingly lively.

It is located one kilometer southwest of the county under the small group slope on the bank of the Dieshui River. There is a small cemetery for martyrs. This cemetery is inscribed by Mr. Li Gengen, a veteran of the Xinhai Revolution and a patriot, to commemorate the soldiers of the National Army who died in the Tengchong Recovery Campaign of the 20th Group Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force during the Anti-Japanese War in Western Yunnan.

On this day, in the overgrown and inaccessible National Memorial Cemetery, several young people in formal clothes came. The young man who was laying a wreath in front of the monument and wearing a black tunic collar and a straight Tang costume was Yang Weiping.

Behind Yang Weiping, standing side by side were Zhou Yuanchao, who was wearing the regular uniform of an officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the rank of lieutenant colonel on his shoulder, and He Guodong, who was wearing a dark double-breasted suit. The two of them looked at Yang Weiping, who was offering flowers to the martyrs in front of them, with complicated eyes, instead of turning their heads to look around. As if he was afraid of being discovered by others.

After offering flowers and bowing. Yang Weiping turned around and saw the worried expressions in He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao's eyes, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Brother Guodong, Brother Yuanchao, in fact, you don't have to have so many scruples. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "Those buried here are martyrs who have contributed to our country and nation. Although they are all soldiers of the Kuomintang and the Party. But they are also Chinese. ”

"Wei Ping. That being said, the Kuomintang is the Kuomintang after all. Politics is much more complicated than you might think. He Guodong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "If this is left on hold, it is guaranteed that the three of us will be beaten into current counter-revolutionaries." ”

"Why do you have to come to this ghost place if you kid don't have anything to do? Tengchong County is so big and there are so many scenic spots, you can't go anywhere! I think you kid is deliberately trying to block me and Guodong. Zhou Yuanchao rolled his eyes angrily and shouted: "I finally hung up two cents and two (lieutenant colonel), if I was masturbated by the above because of today's incident, my brother and you kid are not finished." ”

"Hehe, Brother Yuanchao, if you are really taken off, then go to my one-third of an acre of land, and I will arrange a major general for you. Yang Weiping smiled disapprecitately.

"!" Zhou Yuanchao glared and said, "As far as the Northern Burmese People's Army in your hands is comparable to our Chinese People's Liberation Army?"

"Brother Yuanchao, I don't like to hear what you say. Yang Weiping shouted unconvinced: "You really don't look down on my Northern Burmese People's Army." Although the People's Army has not been built for a long time, if we really want to talk about actual combat experience, I can say very responsibly that there are really few units of the Chinese People's Liberation Army that can match it. Do you think that the battle fought in Vietnam and South in 79 can be regarded as a big battle? The North Burma People's Army can truly be called a division of a hundred battles that has grown up in blood and fire battles!"

"Wasn't the Vietnamese army of that year also an army that had grown up in a long-term war?

Yang Weiping rolled his eyes disdainfully and said: "The Northern Burmese People's Army is trained by the most elite elite soldiers in the Panshi mercenary army in actual combat, and it has introduced the most advanced new military ideas and models in the current world. ”

"Wei Ping, you haven't been in the North Burmese Army for a long time, are you really sure that you will firmly control the North Burmese Army?" He Guodong asked thoughtfully.

Yang Weiping pondered for a moment and replied: "At present, there is no problem, all the prestige and influential indigenous officers and soldiers in the army have been almost cleansed. The existing high-level and middle-level and low-level officers are basically retired military personnel in China. The only thing to consider is whether I can firmly grasp the hearts of all the officers and soldiers from the country in the coming days.

The group of officers and soldiers who were introduced from China at the beginning were all selected through strict political examination and assessment, some of these people were from Uncle Zhou's troops, some were Monk Xu's subordinates, and some were from the field troops controlled by the Ye family. ”

"Well, you can't go wrong with a long mind. He Guodong nodded and said: "This time I was transferred from Longxi to Tengchong to work, and before leaving, my old man specially asked me to go back to Beijing to teach me in person." The old man said that it may not be long before the large-scale development of the western region is likely to be restarted. The key to the reopening is whether you can ensure the social and political stability of Northern Burma.

In order to ensure the early completion of the Dali-Baoshan-Tengchong-Myitkyina railway, the Ministry of Railways has also suspended the planning of the Qinghai-Tibet railway. Adjust the center of gravity to the Kunmi Railway Trunk Line. Whether the Tengchong Special Economic Zone can be developed or not depends on whether you can run North Myanmar into a monolith. ”

"It's up to heaven to make things happen, and it's up to people to make things!" Yang Weiping said with a firm gaze: "As long as no one in the country causes me trouble, I am still relatively sure of the North Burma side." At present, the international focus is on the Anglo-Argentine War, so the domestic immigration and factory relocation work must continue to speed up and increase the pace, Tengchong as a transit station, Brother Guodong, the burden on your body will not be light in the future. ”

"It is said that the British Government has made a decision to characterize the Anglo-Argentine conflict as a military conflict that will not escalate. Zhou Yuanchao looked at Yang Weiping thoughtfully and said, "You instructed the North Burma Navy to participate in the British Navy Expeditionary Fleet, with your character. It shouldn't be profitable, right?"

"The more intense the fighting between the British and the Afghan forces is on the Falklands. The longer it drags on, the longer the attention of the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union will be. Yang Weiping smiled confidently: "As long as the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain do not have time to meddle in the affairs of Burma, my life in Northern Burma will be very good." The crux of the Falklands War was whether or not China could withstand pressure from the United States and Britain. The delivery of weapons and equipment and various types of materials to Argentina will continue without interruption. ”

Historically. The reason for Argentina's defeat in the Falklands. The main reason was that the weapons and equipment purchased by Argentina at that time came from NATO countries, especially after France stopped supplying Exocet missiles, the Argentine navy and air force could no longer pose a threat to the British army.

And now. Long before Argentina prepared for the war, Yang Weiping secretly operated in many ways, making Huaxia the main arms supplier to Argentina. The Qiang-5 B2, FC-1 Thunder Dragon, and Jian-H7 Flying Leopard have become the main service aircraft of the Albanian Air Force. The C802 and 803 series anti-ship missiles exported by China are more powerful and accurate than those exported by France.

In addition, the mechanized units of the Argentine Army are also equipped with a large number of Siberian Tiger I and II tanks, and it can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Argentine army is much stronger than in history.

If the British government does not want to admit defeat, it will inevitably increase its investment in the war. The United States, on the other hand, will absolutely not sit idly by while British troops land on Argentine soil and extend its tentacles into South America.

The Iran-Iraq war has to worry about the US imperialists, the Afghanistan war US imperialism also has to care, and the Anglo-Argentine Fagaret War US imperialists will keep an eye on it even more closely. As a result, in a short period of time, the US imperialists really do not have so much energy to pay attention to the changes in Northern Burma.

It can be said that this is the best period for China to include Northern Burma in the scope of its power. If you really miss it, you won't have such a good opportunity in another hundred years.

The establishment of the Tengchong Special Economic Zone means that the older generation of revolutionaries and military strategists headed by Deng Zhongyuan and Ye Chien-hsiung have made a decision not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Yang Weiping, He Guodong, and Zhou Yuanchao, the three iron porcelain brothers who have been separated for many years, also reunited because of the establishment of the Tengchong Special Economic Zone.

After chatting about military affairs, the three brothers naturally talked happily about their respective life situations.

Regarding Yang Weiping's "flash marriage" in the capital this time, even He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao were not invited to drink the wedding wine, of course, the two brothers were quite complaining.

"Marriage is such a big thing, you kid doesn't even know how to say it, are you worried that a poor person like us can't afford to give a gift to a big capitalist like you!" Zhou Yuanchao raised his hand angrily and knocked it on Yang Weiping's head.

"That's it!" He Guodong also joined the ranks of the application, and asked very incomprehensibly: "You and Ye Xiaoqiao were even engaged at the beginning, and the whole world knows about it, why is it that you are officially married now and it seems to be sneaky? Don't you worry about Ye Xiaoqiao's heart?"

"If you can't even put your wife on the table, then you still call it a big man?" Yang Weiping held his head high and said disapprerovingly: "Hard and simple, diligent and thrifty, that is our glorious revolutionary tradition. ”

"Bah!" Zhou Yuanchao spat on the ground in obvious disbelief.

"Hehe, in fact, the reason why I didn't want to be known to everyone when I returned to Beijing to get married this time was that I didn't want to attract the attention of foreign countries. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "This is an extraordinary time, and the governments of various countries know that I am the behind-the-scenes boss of North Burma, and the central government has repeatedly openly insisted on avoiding suspicion and rumors on the North Burma issue. If I hold a wedding banquet in Beijing at this time, how do you think the international community will associate it?"

"Also, the Ye family's political status is indeed a little sensitive. He Guodong nodded and said: "You are under the banner of being forced by the government to go to North Myanmar for development, and try to clear up domestic relations as much as possible, which is good for you to operate and gain a foothold in North Myanmar." ”

"The British government has always wanted me to bring North Burma into the British Commonwealth. Yang Weiping squinted slightly, and his whole person suddenly became deep, and he said slowly: "The United States and the Soviet Union are also trying to win me over, wanting me to openly confront the mainland. Even the prince of Jiang on Taiwan Island sent lobbyists. Don't look at the scenery on the surface now, in fact, there are hidden murderous intentions everywhere. ”

Hearing Yang Weiping say this, the smiles on the faces of He Guodong and Zhou Yuanchao were no longer there, and their eyes revealed obvious worries and concerns.

Yang Weiping knew very well in his heart that if he didn't officially marry Ye Xiaoqiao and establish a marriage and family relationship, the resolution of Huaxia Yihang's merger into Tiangong International Group, maybe he didn't know how long Lu Dao would be in Ye Jianxiong's hands.

For some things, attitude is a very subtle and crucial factor.

His attitude is in place, and in the eyes of the old man, his behavior will appear more calm and reliable.

Zhou Yuanchao turned his head to look around at Meng Shouzheng, Yang Xinru and several other bodyguards who were scattered at the gate of the cemetery and the surrounding guard positions, and still couldn't help but remind: "Wei Ping, I suggest that you have to strengthen your security strength." You are now a member of the country's southwestern strategy, and you no longer represent you personally. ”

"Hmm!" Yang Weiping nodded and said, "I'll arrange it when I go back." ”

"When are you going to cross the border?" asked He Guodong with concern.

"I'll leave in the afternoon. Yang Weiping said very simply: "There is just a batch of equipment to be transported over today, and I will accompany it with the convoy, so it will not be noticeable." This time, I secretly returned to Northern Burma, and I was still researching new materials in the laboratory in Chang'an. ”

"Now that you've decided, I won't say anything more, be careful in everything, take care of yourself!" He Guodong patted Yang Weiping's arm hard, and said with a smile: "I often come to Tengchong when I have time, and the hot springs here are very good." ”

Yang Weiping raised his eyes and looked around, saw the weeds growing in the garden, and said with a sigh: "Brother Guodong, I suggest that the municipal government send people to renovate and clean this martyr's cemetery, and it can also be used as a tourist attraction in Tengchong in the future." The two sides of the Taiwan Strait are seeking active dialogue, and Taiwan businessmen will certainly become an important part of the capital of foreign enterprises investing in the mainland in the future. ”

"Just leave this to me. Zhou Yuanchao answered on the side and said: "I personally brought a squad of soldiers here to do a voluntary labor and it was over." Guo Dong is a government functionary, so it is better not to let him get involved with the Kuomintang and the Party, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Yang Weiping couldn't help frowning slightly after hearing this, "Is it really so sensitive?"

"If you are not sensitive, can this martyr's cemetery become what it is now?" Zhou Yuanchao rolled his eyes at Yang Weiping, "Don't look at what you kid is doing now, but some small things are definitely more complicated than you imagined." ”

"Looks like I'm taking it for granted. Yang Weiping smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The reason why he chose to visit the National Memorial Cemetery was because he felt that it was quiet, and secondly, he wanted to pay tribute to the souls of these Chinese soldiers who had fought against the Japanese invaders in Burma. I have forgotten what era we are in and what kind of political environment we are in.

"I didn't say what I just said. Of course, Yang Weiping didn't want to make trouble for Zhou Yuanchao and He Guodong, and said apologetically: "Brother Yuanchao, Brother Guodong, it's me who didn't think it through, don't be surprised." ”

"It's all here, if it's really in trouble, I can't hide now if I want to. He Guodong smiled disappreciatively: "Don't worry, Wei Ping, it's okay!"

"That's it!" Yang Weiping said, "In the name of Tiangong (Taiwan) Heavy Industry Group, I will donate a sum of money to the SAR government for the renovation of this national cemetery. In case anyone wants to find the ballast, you can all push it on me. ”

"It's still your kid's brain that spins fast, in this case, it's much more reliable. Zhou Yuanchao smiled and gave Yang Weiping a thumbs up. (To be continued......)
