Chapter 609: We want to work for the benefit of all the people of Myanmar
In the past two years, senior commanders of the North Burmese military have been vaguely speculating about the fact that their big boss, Director Yang, often goes to the troops to find out the training situation of officers and soldiers at the grassroots level, and this is probably a precedent for the top decision-making level to resolve to unify the whole of Burma by force.
Commanders at all levels of the North Burma People's Army, who have a comprehensive understanding of their own real combat effectiveness, know very well that it will be a matter of time before they launch a large-scale military operation against the South Burmese government and government as the new weapons and new technical equipment of the troops are fully reequipped.
If the top decision-making level does not have the determination to unify the whole of Burma, it will be impossible for the government departments to use half of the government's fiscal revenue as military expenditure every year to improve the overall strength of the North Burmese People's Army.
In 1984, the government of North Burma announced that military spending amounted to $200 billion, causing all countries in Southeast Asia to exclaim, "The wolf is coming."
It is said that the annual military expenditure of China's 2.4 million troops is only $350 billion, while the total number of permanent troops of the North Burma People's Army is less than 500,000.
It's not that Yang Weiping has a fever because he has a lot of money, but that the development of the navy and air force is too expensive. If he wants to maintain the hard-won high-speed and stable development situation in northern Burma, he can only grit his teeth, ignore diplomatic pressure, and continue to increase military spending.
When he decided to come to northern Myanmar to enclose land, and then support Yang Jiasheng to establish political power, he Yang Weiping was not kind-hearted to learn from Lei Feng and wholeheartedly help the Burmese people to build a rich and beautiful paradise country. Instead, North Burma will be regarded as an important part of China's national industrial system in the future, and the biggest shortcoming of China's heavy industry system will be filled. By the way, we will seek a safe and stable outlet to the Indian Ocean for China.
If only he was doing it for personal enjoyment. He could have been a happy world-class tycoon in England, Switzerland, or Kenya, who could have risked the world in Northern Burma and worked hard to roast himself on the fire.
Based on this thinking, the development of North Burma is naturally centered on the military industry and heavy industry, and under this premise, along with the development of people's livelihood and economy, it will create a good social environment for the people of all ethnic groups in North Burma.
Even if Yang Weiping's "bad motives" are concerned, it is also a great gospel that is difficult to find for a hundred years for the people of all ethnic groups in northern Myanmar who have lived in a war-torn and turbulent environment for many years.
Sittwe Naval Base, in terms of geographical location. It is at the strategic forefront of the military forces in South Burma. Fighter jets that take off from Shijing can threaten all important cities and military bases throughout South Burma at any time.
In the face of strong military pressure from northern Burma, the government of southern Burma has long moved its capital to Yangon, and has turned Naypyidaw, the former capital of Burma, into a military center against northern Burma.
This Yang Weiping not only took a spin over Yangon today. When he came back, he deliberately flew over Naypyidaw to show off his might. The South Burmese government troops stationed here were frightened enough.
To say that South Myanmar is now the big boss. The original Prime Minister of Burma, General Win Nai, was really helpless. The military aid promised by the United States has not been able to arrive for a long time, and it wants to purchase advanced fighter jets from Europe, but it is shy to find it. As far as the 100 or so outdated propeller planes in the hands of the South Burmese Air Force are concerned, there is absolutely no way to stop the North Burmese Air Force's reconnaissance planes and fighters from circling their airspace every now and then.
Not to mention the Navy. The only reliable thing is that the army is still a little strong, and it is still a little strong to drill into the jungle with the North Burmese People's Army. Fight in the streets.
Wennai and his staff knew very well that the so-called 20th parallel was nothing more than a fig leaf that could be torn off by violence from the north at any moment. If it weren't for Yang Jiasheng's scruples about the Americans, it is estimated that they would have gone south to unify the whole of Burma and ascend to the throne of the king of Burma.
The government and army of South Burma are not good at all! Yang Weiping often heard commanders at all levels say this in the army. But Yang Weiping has never had a clear idea of what it is not working and how big the gap is with Northern Burma.
The reports submitted by the intelligence services are all numbers and descriptions that remain on paper. It should only be used as a guideline.
However, after Yang Weiping personally piloted the fighter jet around the sky of South Burma a few times, the spontaneous sense of superiority made the ambition hidden in his heart ready to move.
On the night that Qiu Fang and Ye Xiaoqiao "escorted" Yang Weiping back from the Sittwe Naval Air Base, Yang Weiping cordially summoned Yang Jiasheng, the nominal president of Northern Burma, from his villa in Mandalay.
Since Yang Weiping proposed the establishment of the North Burma National Defense Science, Technology and Industry Commission, Yang Jiasheng knew that this master could not be idle and was ready to come to the front of the political stage of North Burma.
This shrewd old man never got carried away with the halo of the president of North Burma on his head. Even if the clansmen in the Yang family used government resources to do business and make money, he repeatedly warned the clansmen not to touch the bottom line of Yang Weiping and Qiu Fang in whatever they did. Otherwise, don't blame him, the head of the house, for not being able to protect you.
After the establishment of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense of North Burma, the industrial and economic development of North Myanmar has reached a new level. In this regard, Yang Jiasheng admired Sir Yang's ability to engage in industry and grasp the economy, and also secretly told himself to do a good job of Yang Weiping's political umbrella and block the ups and downs from the international political circle for him.
Maybe good intentions are rewarded. During his years in office, he visited almost all the countries that have established diplomatic relations with North Burma, and virtually gained a good reputation as "one of the most outstanding politicians in Asia".
Correspondingly, those developing countries that have formally established diplomatic relations with North Myanmar have also organized delegations to visit North Myanmar to learn from experience. A large number of friendly cooperation agreements have been signed between countries such as technical cooperation, economic cooperation, political cooperation, and military cooperation.
By September 1985, North Burma had completely replaced Japan and South Korea in Asia as the largest exporter of industrial technology. North Myanmar exports automobile manufacturing technology, motorcycle manufacturing technology, integrated circuit technology, and shipbuilding technology. General precision machine tool technology, etc., squeezed the market share occupied by Japan again and again, and finally formed a three-legged pattern of China, Northern Burma and Japan in the Asian economic circle.
Boss Yang, who has always taken the fight against Japan's economy and development as his own responsibility, will naturally not forget that on September 22, 1985, after signing the "Plaza Agreement", Japan ruthlessly smeared a handful of salt and pepper on the wound of the little devil. Let the little devils make a huge contribution to the growth of military spending in Northern Burma.
North Myanmar can rise on the international political stage in such a short period of time, and even Yang Jiasheng himself finds it a little incredible. He knew that if he relied on him, the president of North Burma, to grasp the industry and economy, he estimated that the current North Burma would be similar to the original Burma.
This person is really incomparable. Otherwise, it's just adding to yourself.
Regarding the summoning of Boss Yang, Yang Jiasheng will fly back to meet him as soon as possible, even if he is at the Cape of Good Hope in Africa.
No, when Yang Jiasheng received Qiu Fang's phone call in the afternoon, he was still in Wellington and had a very happy conversation with the New Zealand Prime Minister. At half past nine in the evening, he had already returned to Mandalay on a special plane and appeared at Yang Weiping's secret palace in Mandalay.
Decorated in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the antique study, Yang Weiping and Yang Jiasheng sat on two rosewood high-backed Taishi chairs with a few minutes of rosewood tea and talked happily.
Qiu Fang, Ye Xiaoqiao, and Yang Xinru were in the seats opposite, whispering to each other from time to time, and they didn't know what they were talking about.
"Wei Ping, you must not fly the plane to the sky in the future. Yang Jiasheng said very solemnly: "Do you know that I heard this girl Xinru talk about this just now, and I was about to have a heart attack at that time." The good situation in Northern Myanmar can be without my Yang Jiasheng, but it is absolutely inseparable from you Yang Weiping!"
"Practice brings true knowledge!" Yang Weiping said disapprerovingly: "If I don't personally confirm the details of the South Burmese Air Force, I really don't believe that Wen Nai's gang has been tossing in the south for so many years, and they haven't made any names." ”
"Those warlords and politicians in the south, what else can they do besides fighting for power and profit, intrigue?" Yang Jiasheng said with disdain: "If you talk about industry and economy, those people don't even deserve to give you shoes! If the Americans hadn't intervened in the beginning, we would have wiped out all these guys a long time ago!"
"It's not too late. Yang Weiping looked at Yang Jiasheng with deep meaning in his eyes and smiled.
"What do you mean?" Yang Jiasheng suddenly stared at Yang Weiping and asked solemnly.
Yang Weiping nodded lightly and did not speak.
"Great!" Yang Jiasheng slapped his thigh hard, stood up, and said with a smile: "You are finally willing to make up your mind! Finally wait for this day! I thought that I would never be able to see the day of true reunification of the whole of Burma in my life." ”
"We could have done it four years ago. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently: "It's just that I didn't want to cause too much burden to the people of all ethnic groups in northern Myanmar at that time, because they have endured too much and too long of war, and they must be allowed to take a breath."
Tiangong Group's investment in Myanmar is to help the people of Myanmar improve their material living standards and improve their living environment, not to grab land and become a warlord. I, Yang Wei, have always paid first, and then tried to reciprocate. Now, I have given a lot to the people of all ethnic groups in northern Myanmar, and it is time for them to contribute something to us. ”
Yang Jiasheng looked at Yang Weiping with a look of respect in his eyes, "Weiping, everything you have done for the people of Myanmar will definitely be recorded in the annals of Burma and praised for a thousand years! Our Yang family has survived on this land for more than 300 years, but no ruler has ever been able to build the barren land in northern Myanmar into such a rich, stable and united country.
Millions of people in Myanmar often wonder if they are dreaming about their current happy life. Even if it is a dream, they do not dare to expect that every household has so many luxury goods such as color TVs, refrigerators, telephones, tape recorders, motorcycles, etc., and even many families have cars.
No matter how those people in southern Burma attack and smear the Tiangong clique, facts speak louder than words! The people of all nationalities in northern Myanmar who deeply feel their own vital interests and experience have a point in their hearts. Any individual or organization that vainly attempts to undermine the excellent situation of stability and unity in North Burma will face resolute resistance from the 75 million people of North Burma!"
