Sittwe, the port city of western Myanmar, is the largest city and seaport on the Bay of Bengal coast in Myanmar. It is surrounded by one of the most important rice-producing areas in Myanmar, and the rice milling industry is relatively developed.

Since October 1979, when the Rock Mercenaries occupied and took control of the port city, the city of Sittwe has undergone tremendous changes with each passing day.

Today, Sittwe has become one of the most famous commercial free ports in Asia.

On October 18, 1979, Tiangong Panshi Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., Tiangong Taiwan Heavy Industry Group and Tiangong International Group Co., Ltd. were invested and integrated by Panshi International Security Company, Tiangong Taiwan Heavy Industry Group and Tiangong International Group in accordance with the 16-character policy of "complementing each other's advantages, sharing resources, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and becoming stronger and bigger", and established Tiangong Panshi Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group Co., Ltd., referred to as Tianshi Group.

At present, with total assets of 1.8 billion US dollars and more than 8,000 employees, Tianshi Group is one of the modern shipbuilding assembly enterprises with large scale, complete construction products and international competitiveness in Asia.

From the day Tianshi Group was founded, Yang Weiping made a clear positioning for the group. Making full use of the superior resources of Panshi International Security Company, Tiangong International Group and Tiangong Taiwan Heavy Industry Group, a large number of shipbuilding experts and technical workers have been recruited from Europe, mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places.

Among them, more than 1,500 experts and senior technicians have been recruited in batches from the Huaxia Changxing Shipbuilding Base and Dalian Shipbuilding Factory.

More than 10 new factories, such as Tianshi Marine Diesel Engine Factory, Tianshi Marine Valve Factory, Tianshi Marine Thruster Factory, Tianshi Marine Gas Turbine Factory, and Tianshi Marine Special Steel Plate Factory, are focusing on expanding and strengthening the shipbuilding industry in the Sittwe area. With two large new industrial zones as the main factory area and three sectional construction supporting bases as the auxiliary, a new pattern of interactive development of the five industrial chains of military industry, shipbuilding, ship repair, marine engineering and heavy industry has been formed through the combination of military and civilian, construction and repair, shipbuilding and heavy industry, and shipbuilding and marine engineering.

On April 5, 1982, Yang Weiping, accompanied by Qiu Fang, Yang Xinru, Yang Jiasheng, Kissinger, Hughsfeld and others, conducted an on-site inspection of Sittwe Industrial Zone. This is also Yang Weiping's first stop after leaving the Chinese mainland and coming to Northern Burma.

In the domestic business, Yang Weiping was handed over to Ye Xiaoqiao to be fully responsible, including the preliminary negotiations with the government on the acquisition of Huaxia First Airlines by Tiangong Group.

Under the strong pressure of Yang Weiping, the Lu Group was finally forced by Rong Zhijian of the Rong family. On behalf of the 15 large and medium-sized light textile and garment, shoes and hat processing, food processing, and non-staple food grain and oil processing enterprises under the Lu Group. All of them were transferred to the name of Tiangong Group at one time.

Of these 15 private factories with a total asset value of nearly 300 million RMB, Yang Weiping only symbolically spent 10 million RMB as a transfer fee to Rong Zhijian's private account. As for whether the Rong family will hand over this money to the Lu family, Yang Weiping has no time to care.

After the completion of the asset transfer, Yang Weiping cited his distrust of the investment environment of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces as a reason. All these 15 factories, including personnel and equipment, were relocated to the western region. And actually. The final destination of these 15 factories is not a county or city in western China. It's Kokang in North Burma.

Yang Weiping did not plan to sell the fifteen pieces of land left by the relocation of the factory. He didn't care what the provincial government of Zhejiang Province thought, and directly let these plots of land be left idle and wasted.

In the face of Yang Weiping's "bandit behavior" that disregarded the interests of the local government. Of course, the provincial party committee and government of Zhejiang Province filed a complaint with the central government.

In China in the 80s, 10,000 households were all rare things. A private enterprise with assets of more than 300 million RMB can be regarded as a giant business predator in mainland China.

It's just that this predator looks so weak in front of Yang Weiping, a "prehistoric beast".

The Rong family was also affected by this incident. Although Yang Weiping said that he did not trouble the Rong family, the Rong family's overseas industries were still isolated by the tycoons of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

The aftermath of this incident did not disappear because the Lu Group was removed from the land of China.

For the first time, the local governments of the southeastern coastal provinces of China felt the strength of Yang Weiping and his Tiangong Group.

Some people clamored for the return of color, while others shouted that this was the harm of the capitalist market economy, but more local officials calmly analyzed and looked at this first vicious commercial acquisition case in China since the implementation of reform and opening up.

Yang Weiping used the excuse of temporarily avoiding the limelight, put down his work, and left China for Northern Burma.

After receiving a promise from Yang Weiping that he would never openly attend the ceremony for the establishment of the Democratic Autonomous Government of Northern Burma, Chief No. 1 and Ye Chien-shiung agreed to Yang Weiping's request to go abroad for inspection.

For Yang Weiping's arrival, Yang Jiasheng of course warmly welcomed.

The 156 key projects of the Tiangong Group to help build the government of North Burma are in full swing and are proceeding smoothly. With the national industrial system and economic system planned by Yang Weiping personally for North Burma, the economic reform of North Burma is a generation higher than that of China in terms of starting point alone.

As a matter of fact, Yang Weiping has copied the nine new industrial structure models that he had carefully designed for the large-scale development of the western region to Northern Burma.

In this process, the funds, technologies and talents accumulated by the five heavy industrial zones invested by Tiangong Group in China, namely Karamay Petroleum City, Qinghai Golmud Chemical Industrial Zone, Baishou Nuclear Industrial Zone in Shu Province, Shenfu Coal Industrial Zone in Longxi Province, and Baiyun Bo'e Metallurgical Industrial Zone, as well as the Tiangong Laboratory on Bailongwei Island, which has completed the first phase of the project, have played a decisive role in the construction of the national industrial system and basic industries in North Myanmar.

The experience that Yang Weiping has explored in the process of integrating China's national defense heavy industry has undoubtedly made many detours in the industrial construction of North Burma.

This time he decided to go abroad, and Yang Weiping was determined to avoid the political whirlpool in China for nearly ten years.

He knows very well that in the next 10 years, the Chinese mainland will encounter too many stones in the process of reform and opening up, resulting in a large number of educators, scientific research workers, and industrial workers being laid off and brain drain. What he needs to do is to make the greatest possible use of Tiangong International Group's global reputation for excellence and absorb all these millions of talents to Northern Burma.

He should use his actual deeds and facts to tell the central government of Huaxia that Huaxia has never lacked qualified personnel or funds, and what he lacks is a correct guiding ideology.

Although he lost the domestic economic system reform, he also laid a very solid foundation for himself to start a new business in Northern Myanmar over the years.

With the immigration of a large number of educational and scientific research talents to Northern Myanmar, the backward education level of Northern Myanmar has been significantly improved.

Yang Weiping can fully predict that after two five-year plans, North Burma will definitely become the country with the fastest economic development in Asia, and it will be able to leave the Chinese mainland far behind.

At a large wharf of the Tianshi Shipyard, the aircraft carrier Baron John Young is quietly docked at a kilometer-long berth, and the steel structure scaffolding almost wraps the entire aircraft carrier.

It is clear that the aircraft carrier Baron John Young is not only undergoing repairs, but also a new round of modernization.

Every time he saw the aircraft carrier Baron John Yang, Yang Jiasheng would feel confident. Because he knew that this was the protector of their Yang family, and it was a strong guarantee to ensure the stability of the Yang dynasty in Northern Burma.

However, in Yang Weiping's eyes, this aircraft carrier, which is undergoing modernization, is at best just a starting point.

In his mind, the future North Burma Navy will be an ocean-going blue-water navy with nuclear-powered combat aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, amphibious dock transports, and other advanced modern supporting ships, and a high-tech military force capable of influencing the political landscape in the Indian Ocean and the Asia-Pacific region.

Looking at the busy figure of the shipbuilder on the scaffolding from a distance, Yang Weiping asked the middle-aged European Caucasian man next to him while carefully observing: "Mr. Wittrams, how long is it expected to be completed for this renovation project?"

Prior to joining Tianshi Group, he was a deputy chief engineer at Portsmouth Shipyard in the United Kingdom, where he was involved in the design and construction of the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal, the predecessor of Baron John Young.

"BOSS, the whole project is 18 months and has just begun. "The keel and the underwater hull of the Baron John Young are very strong, and this refit includes a major overhaul of the propulsion system, including the replacement of two steam turbines, the replacement of new boiler pipes, and the overhaul of the main power. At the same time, the existing electronic systems will need to be upgraded, such as radar, landing assistance and communication equipment. ”

"Isn't the steam catapult technically transformed?" Yang Weiping asked as he put down the telescope he was holding in his hand and looked at Wittrams very seriously.

"The existing two steam catapults are mainly repaired and maintained, and only some parts processed from new materials will be replaced, and the overall equipment will not change much. Wittrams replied seriously: "But I am sure that after the repairs, the performance of these two steam catapults will be improved by a certain extent compared to the original." ”

"It is a pity that the timing of the Baron John Young entry into the dockyard for overhaul was too unlucky. Standing behind Wittrams, Wilson, the current captain of the Baron John Young, said with emotion: "Because Baron John Young missed a great opportunity to experience the actual combat of modern naval warfare." ”

Yang Weiping, of course, knew what Wilson was referring to. He turned to look at Wilson with a smile and asked indifferently, "Mr. Captain, don't you have confidence in the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet?"

"The Royal Navy of the British Empire is the most powerful navy in this world!" Wilson said proudly: "The weak Argentine Navy is not our opponent at all! I am convinced that my former comrades-in-arms will give the Argentine Navy a lesson that will never be seen for a lifetime!"

Hehe, I'm afraid that it is you British who will be taught a lesson. Yang Weiping secretly snickered in his heart. (To be continued......)
