Chapter 630: A Prospect for the Future of Myanmar

Naturally, Yang Weiping would not have known that Dechen Min-maung and Dechen Mingjie, father and son, were counting on Aung San Suu Kyi lobbyists to contact the North Burmese side.

Otherwise, Yang Weiping would definitely ask Aung San Suu Kyi to invite Dechen Min-Maung over as soon as possible, and everyone would sit down and have a good talk together.

It's just that it's often a lot of good things. The different forces on both sides, which are anxious to meet and talk with each other, cannot achieve their wishes because they lack a bridge that can connect the two sides.

Yang Weiping dared to reveal his identity in front of Aung San Suu Kyi because he knew Aung San Suu Kyi well and knew that there was an irreconcilable grudge between Aung San Suu Kyi and Win Nai.

Believing in Su Dengxiang is based on his trust in Shen Zhiyue and An Peiya.

But for Deqin Minxiang and Deqin Mingjie's father and son, Yang Weiping did not dare to take such an unknowable risk. Otherwise, he could have contacted Deqin Minmaung through Guò Suden Maung.

And Su Dengxiang also knows his own affairs. In the eyes of Deqin Min-maung's father and son, he Su Deng-maung is definitely one of Wennai's loyal lackeys.

If he goes and tells Deqin Min-Maung that he knows Sir Yang, there is still a way to arrange for Deqin Min-maung to meet with Sir Yang. It is estimated that he is talking about breaking the sky, and Deqin Minxiang will not believe it. Maybe he will mistakenly think that this is Su Dengxiang testing him on Wen Nai's orders. If this is not careful, Commander Deqin Minmaung is angered, Su Dengmaung will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and there is even the possibility of losing his head.

In these turbulent times, trust between people has become particularly valuable. In this regard, Aung San Suu Kyi has a deeper feeling than others. It is based on this. She cherishes the trust that Sir Yang has given her.

When talking about Dechen Min-Maung and the Third Army, Aung San Suu Kyi did not pat Yang Weiping's chest to guarantee out of caution. It's just that she will do her best to try to convince Deqin Min-maung.

And Yang Weiping didn't put obvious pressure on Aung San Suu Kyi, after all, Suu Kyi was not in his previous plan. Aung San Suu Kyi can help, and that's certainly the best. If it doesn't work, it's still the same as planned.

Considering that Aung San Suu Kyi can come in handy in the process of national governance and social development in the reunified Myanmar, Yang Weiping's following conversation is more about looking forward to his future plans for Myanmar.

Yang Weiping clearly pointed out that Myanmar's core strategy in the future is the Indian Ocean strategy. And to plot against the Indian Ocean, the premise is to control the Bay of Bengal. Therefore. Myanmar's strong rise will inevitably be accompanied by geopolitical conflicts with three countries: India, Bangladesh and Thailand.

For any country that has a national strategy focused on the global layout. The Indian Ocean occupies a very important strategic position in the world.

As we can see from the map, the Indian Ocean holds the golden waterway from Europe and the Middle East's oil-producing regions to Asia. Due to the lack of islands in the center of the ocean, the ocean is wide, and there is no national territorial sea or political division in the center. It is a veritable high sea.

For an important strategic location in the Indian Ocean. To the north, the two seas, naturally divided by the islands of the Maldives, are significant.

One is the Arabian Sea. The Arabian Sea is surrounded by the Arabian Peninsula and the western edge of the Indian subcontinent. The Persian Gulf is an important part of the Arabian Sea, the world's most important energy reserves, but it is also the most volatile region in the world. To the northwest of the Arabian Sea is the Red Sea, a golden waterway connecting the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The Red Sea and the Suez Canal have become important passages connecting Asia and Europe.

The other is the Bay of Bengal. The Bay of Bengal is surrounded by the eastern edge of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia by Myanmar, Thailand, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia. In terms of the overall strength of these countries, if you want to turn the Bay of Bengal into the future inland sea of Myanmar, the biggest opponent is undoubtedly India.

Aung San Suu Kyi is keenly aware that the Indian Ocean strategy proposed by Sir Young is in fact a hegemonic expansion strategy. Myanmar has always been a dish in the bowl of the great powers in history, when will it be the turn of Myanmar to take food from the mouths of the great powers?

Based on this habitual thinking, Aung San Suu Kyi has a very unreal feeling. However, considering the "miraculous" development speed of Northern Burma over the years, as if it is the second largest military power in Asia, coupled with Sir Yang Da Da's endless inventions and innovations in the field of cutting-edge science and technology, Aung San Suu Kyi also feels that it is not impossible for a Myanmar with a strong military and economy to rise in the Indian Ocean.

Yang Weiping's Indian Ocean strategy is entirely based on the thinking of global integration in the 21st century. Not to mention that Aung San Suu Kyi can't keep up with Yang Weiping's rhythm, even the current two world hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union do not have this awareness.

During this period, the United States and the Soviet Union still looked at the problem from the domestic side. There is a domestic map beforehand. It was only later, as their economies moved to the world, that they became the first to pick up the world map and understand domestic affairs from the changes in the world situation. For example, the U.S. State Department is mostly concerned with the foreign ministries of other countries.

From now on, Yang Weiping will ask those around him, including future Burmese scholars and even military personnel, to ask students to look at problems from the perspective of the world system. It can be said that the current development of Northern Myanmar has entered this stage, which is a new vision for politicians all over the world!

Obviously, Yang Weiping is a typical sea power activist.

The study of sea power must establish the coordinates of the world system, and only in this way can we understand the truth contained in geopolitics.

Myanmar's geopolitical advantage is its long coastline and its fragility is that it has a narrow southern territory. It is precisely on the basis of this characteristic that Yang Weiping will take the lead in laying out the Bay of Bengal in advance, regard India as an imaginary enemy, and control the Bay of Bengal in the hands of Myanmar.

Aung San Suu Kyi listened attentively to Yang Weiping's great power strategy for the future of Myanmar, but she did not understand why Sir Yang attached so much importance to the Indian Ocean.

"Sir, why do you propose that the Indian Ocean is the center of the world's sea power?" asked Aung San Suu Kyi, puzzled.

"The basis of world peace planning must be world geography. Yang Weiping replied without thinking: "As a geopolitical strategy, it must have a clear purpose and joint point. I regard the Indian Ocean as the center of the world's sea power, not because of my will, but because of the fact that it objectively exists with the development of the world economy.

The world sea power system is summarized by 'one center, two basic points', the center is the Indian Ocean and its northern shores, and the two basic points are the Atlantic Ocean and its two shores, and the Pacific Ocean and its two shores. This is not only because Central Asia and the Indian Ocean are the geopolitical heartland of the world, but also because they are also the richest industrial mineral resources in the world, especially the oil and gas reserves. ”

Aung San Suu Kyi bowed her head in contemplation, as if she was digesting a new concept and vision of international politics that Sir Young had just proposed. After a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "According to you, from your point of view, the dual temptation of geography and resources will inevitably cause the world's major powers to set their sights on the Indian Ocean and its northern shores, and to fight to the death. With the historical background of Myanmar, can you really participate in this super feast?"

"The world is bustling, all for profit, the world is bustling, all for profit. Yang Weiping nodded calmly and said: "This will indeed be a global feast." Although our foundation is a little worse, we are stupid birds fly first, at the very least, the Americans and the Soviets have not yet set their eyes on the Indian Ocean.

We are already one step ahead of the major powers at the starting line, as long as we continue to improve ourselves in the next process, and constantly improve our overall national strength and national quality. As little as possible to make unnecessary mistakes, I am convinced that Myanmar, led by Yang Weiping, will surely cut away a big cake that belongs to us in this feast. ”

After speaking, Yang Weiping paused, and with a strong and confident demeanor that no one could question, he said eloquently: "As for why I say that the Indian Ocean is the center of the world's sea power, there are two reasons. First, the sea lanes in the Indian Ocean are not only abundant but also crucial, and are essential for all sea routes between Europe and Asia.

Among them, Madagascar, Diego Garcia and Sri Lanka are the key islands that control the Indian Ocean. Before the opening of the Suez Canal, Madagascar was Europe's gateway to the Indian Ocean. Since the opening of the Suez Canal, the Indian Ocean has been referred to more broadly than the North Indian Ocean. Since it has direct access to Europe via the Suez Canal, Madagascar's geopolitical position has correspondingly declined dramatically. But it still plays an irreplaceable role as a springboard for the control of the western Indian Ocean and the coastal areas of East Africa.

With the opening of the Suez Canal, the status of Diego Garcia, the Gulf of Aden and the Strait of Malacca has been simultaneously enhanced. If we can put these islands in the Indian Ocean in the first geopolitical position, then the Amindivi-Lakshadweep Islands, Socotra Islands and the Andaman Nicobar Islands are in the second position, and once the first two are controlled, they lock the passage from the Arabian Sea through the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean to Asia and the Red Sea to Europe in the west, and the latter to lock the northwest exit of Malacca.

Second, the Indian Ocean is the most densely distributed area of resources needed for modern industry, especially scarce resources. In the early seventies, US President Richard Nixon made it clear that the strategic importance of the Persian Gulf now focused on two factors: its location and its oil.

The basic fact that both military and economic power now depend on oil will inevitably make the Persian Gulf the eye of a global storm in the last decade and a half of the twentieth century. If the Soviet Union had the strength to shut down the oil faucets in the Middle East, it would have the strength to make most of the industrialized West bend its knees to it. In order to do this, the Soviet Union did not actually take over the Persian Gulf countries as they now took Afghanistan. They use external pressure or internal unrest to deny the West the resources of these countries and to achieve their strategic objectives. Therefore, the long-term goal of Soviet policy in the Middle East was to use Arab nationalism to create difficulties for European countries in obtaining crude oil and thus gain influence on them.
