When Myanmar and Thailand officially announced that they would start the Kra Canal project, US President Ronald Reagan and Soviet supreme leader Andropov, as if they had a very tacit understanding, visited Singapore and Myanmar respectively at about the same time.

Such an important international news naturally attracted the attention of all media and newspapers around the world.

With regard to the visit of the supreme leader of the Soviet Union, the Burmese government, of course, arranged the highest level of ceremonial reception.

The leader of a big country like the Soviet Union came to Myanmar for a state visit, even if it was North Burma before, it was the first time that a big girl got on a sedan chair!

Perhaps Northern Burma has achieved remarkable miracles in the industrial, economic and military fields, but in terms of politics, there are few achievements worth mentioning. Even if North Burma launched an armed military operation to unify the whole of Burma against South Burma and succeeded, the impact of a war of this scale is much lower than that of the Iran-Iraq War, the Anglo-Argentine War, and the Afghanistan War.

However, with Andropov's visit to Burma, the political status of the soon-to-be-established new Myanmar in the international community has simply gone straight up.

Yang Weiping personally presided over the grand welcome ceremony at the airport, accompanied Andropov to inspect the guard of honor of the three services of the Burmese National Defense Forces, and the two made brief speeches to the reporters who came to cover the news, and then went to the Mandalay Palace Hotel, where Andropov was staying.

Mandalay Palace Hotel is a six-star international hotel that has been carefully designed and rebuilt on the basis of the original Mandalay Palace building. It has always been a top-level high-end place in northern Myanmar to entertain foreign dignitaries and distinguished guests, and has the nature of a state guesthouse.

According to information released by a spokesman for the Burmese Foreign Ministry, Andropov and Yang Weiping will hold their first talks tonight to exchange views on further developing bilateral relations, strengthening cooperation between Myanmar and the Soviet Union, and international and regional issues of common concern.

Next. Andropov will attend the founding ceremony of the founding of the new Burma, and then attend the signing ceremony with Yang Weiping, the first head of state of the new Myanmar, to witness the signing of a series of cooperation documents and joint statements between the Myanmar and Soviet Union departments and enterprises.

What kind of joint statement will be issued by Myanmar and the Soviet Union and what kind of impact it will have on the Asia-Pacific region in the future has become a hot topic of most concern to the international community and the news media.

Mandalay in mid-autumn. The heat is pressing. But at night, it's cool and pleasant.

Yang Weiping doesn't care much about how the outside world pays attention. What he wants to find out now is what kind of medicine Andropov is selling in his gourd during his visit to Burma.

For this reason, Yang Weiping deliberately let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs release the news, just to test Andropov's intentions.

Sure enough, Andropov was very interested in the Burma-Soviet joint statement, which did not yet exist.

Strolling through the palace manor house in the style of Suzhou garden architecture, Andropov walked alongside. While looking at Yang Weiping, who was walking side by side, he turned his face seemingly casually, and said with a smile: "Yang, I have to say, looking at the heads of state of all countries in the world, your age is very envious of us old men. ”

"Being young is not a big advantage when it comes to governing a country. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "I don't know how many people are watching my jokes now!"

"Don't you have confidence in governing the new Burma well?" Andropov paused, looked at Yang Weiping meaningfully, and asked, "Are you worried about the United States?"

"It will take time for the new Myanmar to bury its head in development. Yang Weiping said noncommittally and indifferently: "In this regard, Myanmar and the Soviet Union are actually the same. Because. The political and economic reforms that you are pursuing will take more and longer time to consolidate and deepen than we will need. ”

"The United States will not give us such time. Andropov gets straight to the point. "They're going to do everything they can to get in our way, and they're already doing that!

"For example, let the Kra Canal project start as soon as possible?" Yang Weiping asked with a smirk as he looked at Andropov.

"I like to work with smart people who are strong. Andropov smiled and said: "You have found the most precise entry point at the most opportune time." This fulcrum. It is enough to leverage the entire chain of interests of the Yankees in the Asia-Pacific region, including their strategic deployment. You can even use this plan to repair and improve your relationship with the Chinese government. ”

This old fox's vision is really unique! Yang Weiping secretly praised in his heart.

It is important to know that the opening of the Kra Canal will certainly bring great economic benefits to Myanmar and Thailand, but it will benefit the most. Definitely Huaxia.

With the deepening of China's reform and opening up, the oil and mineral resources imported by Huaxia Tongguò shipping will be astronomical in the future. Taking the Kra Canal through the Gulf of Thailand into the South China Sea will not only save more than two days and shorten the voyage of more than 1,000 kilometers, but will also be able to avoid the surveillance and control of Chinese ships by the US military base group deployed in Southeast Asia.

In addition, Japan and South Korea, which rely heavily on shipping, will also benefit greatly from the Kra Canal project.

Andropov could see this, and he believed that the top levels of the governments of China, Japan, and South Korea would also recognize it.

Therefore, Andropov believed that in the long run, the Kra Canal plan proposed by Yang Weiping would not only bring China back to the Soviet Union, but would also cause a rift between Japan and Korea, which were highly pro-American, and the United States. This was clearly extremely beneficial to the interests and national strategy of the USSR in Asia.

The fact that the Soviet Union could attach such great importance to the Kra Canal project was not only expected by Yang Weiping, but also somewhat beyond his imagination.

Yang Weiping is sure that the Soviet Union will support whatever the United States opposes. It's just that the level of support will vary depending on the situation.

But because of the Kra Canal project, the first visit of the Soviet supreme leader to Burma was promoted, which was a bit surprising to Yang Weiping.

Obviously, Yang Weiping still underestimated the importance that the Soviet Union attached to the Kra Canal project.

He originally did not plan to let the Kra Canal be excavated now, but wanted to pull the tiger skin of the Soviet Union, fight with the US imperialism, and reshuffle the political pattern in Southeast Asia.

But now it seems. This plan seems to be a bit out of flux!

"Mr. Andropov, is the Soviet Union planning to participate in the project to enter the Kra Canal?" Yang Weiping asked bluntly after a moment's silence.

"Mr. Yang, I think that not only should we participate, but you should also bring China, Japan, and South Korea in!" Andropov replied, "Kra Canal." It is not only a commercial engineering project, but also an international political project! It contains enough potential energy to involve all the countries in Southeast Asia. It may even change the current pattern of the Cold War in the world!"

! I know that the polar bear is not small this time! This is simply to provoke the rhythm of a new Pacific war!

Yang Weiping secretly slandered in his heart. It seems that this time it was really too big. If it is really beyond the scope of his control, it is definitely not what Yang Weiping wants.

However, if it is really because of the Kra Canal project, countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, West Asia, and the Philippines will start a war against New Burma with the support of US imperialism, Yang Weiping is really not afraid.

Just as Andropov just said, the Kra Canal project can completely tie Burma, Thailand, China, Japan, South Korea, Cambodia, Vietnam, and other countries to the same chain of interests. A new Asian alliance has been formed. With the Soviet Union pinning down the United States head-on, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Spain, and the Philippines are no opponents of this new Asian League organization at all.

Could it be that the new Burma will have to face the test of war launched by the US imperialists, just as it did when the new China was first founded?

As for the military strength of Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Spain, and Asia, Yang Weiping really didn't see it. As long as the U.S. imperialists do not directly send troops, Yang Weiping can even pacify these four countries with the strength of Myanmar alone.

In a sense, this is also a great opportunity for Myanmar to expand into the South Pacific.

If he had made up his mind to insist on getting the Kra Canal project in motion, Singapore and Indonesia would be 100 percent overwhelmed. If these two countries dare to launch a military strike on Burma first, then he has enough reason to retaliate in self-defense.

If the Tatmadaw takes the opportunity to really occupy both the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra. Then the world will be really lively.

Reason tells Yang Weiping that Myanmar does not need war now.

But one is a weed called ambition. At this moment, it suddenly took root in Yang Weiping's heart, and it grew and spread rapidly.

"Mr. Andropov, I think that no matter what kind of project we build on our own territory, we only need to consider whether we have the economic strength or not, and we don't need to think about what other countries will think!" Yang Weiping's eyes flashed. The tone is also loud:

"A large country has the authority of a large country, and a small country has the dignity of a small country. If the new Myanmar and Thailand want to dig a canal on their own land to promote the economic development of the two countries, they have to ask for the consent of others, then what kind of face do I, Yang Weiping, have to take on the post of head of state of the new Myanmar!"

"I knew that Mr. Yang was definitely not the kind of coward who flinched when he encountered difficulties!" Andropov's eyes flashed with imperceptible joy. He said solemnly: "If the Soviet Union wants to participate in the Kra Canal project, I wonder what conditions Mr. Yang has?"

"The only condition is that the Soviet Union will come forward and persuade Huaxia to participate in this plan!" Yang Weiping replied without hesitation: "As for Japan and South Korea, we don't have to force it. Of course, if they wish, we can consider giving them a little bit of Kra Canal's shares. ”

"We can take care of this head!" Andropov replied with the same cheerful nod, "However, I think that in order to ensure that the Kra Canal project proceeds smoothly, it is necessary to lease a piece of land along the canal to be used as a base for the Soviet Navy." ”

"The Burmese Navy has enough strength to protect Myanmar's national interests from being violated!" Yang Weiping flatly refused: "I think that the existing national economy of the Soviet Union is not enough to support the Soviet Navy to establish overseas bases!"
