Chapter 177: Fruit Root Changing Divisions?

A small black car with a five-star red flag drove south along Sterland Road by the Yangon River. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Ambassador Pei Chenglang sat in the back seat, with a black leatherette briefcase on his lap, looking out at the Yangon River through the car window, with a grim expression.

In fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was also the first country to recognize the regime of the People's Republic of China.

However, the large-scale expulsion and anti-China incidents that originated in the 60s cast a shadow over the relations between the two sides. After that, in order to retaliate at home, the support of the Oblique People's Party even lowered the relationship between the two countries to the lowest point, and after independence from the British colony, due to the lack of foreign aid, the military of the Obligent, which was once ready to move closer to the country, quickly became cold and even full of hostility.

With the disastrous defeat of the People's Party, the government forces seized the former "capital", and the central government fled to the Wa armed areas, and the vigorous Weiding People's Party began to weaken.

With domestic mediation, government forces agreed not to continue their attacks on BJP territory.

However, the recent situation seems to be a little wrong, and the domestic side has repeatedly asked the garrison agencies to increase their infiltration into the government and grasp the dynamics of the government army as much as possible.

Ambassador Pei Chenglang did not understand the purpose of this directive, and as an envoy abroad, he could only follow domestic instructions. The personnel in the embassy who have contacts with the government and the military have taken active action, inquired about the movements of the government forces through various means, and regularly gathered together to report to the country.

The action of force is relative.

You are inquiring about other people's affairs, and the widow, who has always been wary of the country, naturally did not sit still.

While the embassy was actively contacting the people concerned, various developments certainly attracted the attention of the Japanese intelligence agencies. The more frequent China's activities, the stronger the vigilance in the hearts of the Chinese side. The relations between the two sides, which have improved since the defeat of the People's Party, have once again fallen into a low ebb, which has also caused great difficulties for the normal work of the embassy.

Ambassador Pei Chenglang very much disagrees with this approach, if you want to be good friends with others, you must show sincerity, and if you often make small moves in secret, where can you get the other party's sincerity?

It would be fine if the BJP could win in the end and establish a national power, but what was the point of doing this when they could not protect themselves?

He has also reported the relevant feedback to China, but the instructions remain unchanged.

The person is soft-spoken, and the superior is iron-hearted, and he has no choice but to continue to carry out the orders of the superior under great pressure.

The car was about to arrive at the Yangon River, turn onto General Aung San Street, and after a few minutes, stop in front of the government building.

Pei Chenglang got out of the car and looked up at this colonial building, full of British style. This is where the supreme authority is located.

He was about to tell the driver to park his car and wait outside, when he saw a captain come down the steps and walk briskly towards him.

"Ambassador Pei, there is a very urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately, so today's meeting has been cancelled! As for when we will meet, we will let you know! The captain said stiffly, then saluted, and turned away.

Pei Chenglang stood stunned for a while, a little puzzled.

Today's meeting is to discuss the strengthening of economic cooperation between the two sides, which is also a good thing for the two sides. When I contacted him a few days ago, the other party was still very enthusiastic, and it is said that the general himself also had considerable expectations for economic exchanges, and Pei Chenglang also specially prepared detailed information. Even when I spoke to the general's office again this morning, the other party also said that the general himself was very happy to meet with the ambassador and would put aside other work and wait for his arrival at the government building.

How did it become like this in the blink of an eye?

Moreover, the attitude of the captain who came to inform him was also very indifferent, could it be that the urgent matter that the general was going to deal with today was related to the country or the People's Party?

He quickly pulled all kinds of information in his head, and could only vaguely come to this conclusion.

With a sigh, he turned around and went back to the car, and at the same time, the driver opened the embassy, and decided in his heart that after going back, let everyone inquire through the relationship about what happened.

Hopefully it's not a bad thing!

He had no intention of looking at the scenery anymore, staring at the road ahead, his face gloomy.

……

"After entering, you can't look directly at the general himself, you have to look down. When you get to the steps, you stop, then bow your head, stretch out your hand, and wait for the general to shake your hand! ”

Peng Yonggui stopped on the second floor, in front of a tall white oak door, and listened to the major who led the way explain the meeting procedures in a low voice, bowing his eyebrows and nodding his head again and again.

In the long corridor, a heavily armed guard stood every few steps, and the atmosphere was so heavy that he didn't dare to breathe. Although he stepped on the soft carpet under his feet and was flanked with Victorian-style decorations, he had no sense of appreciation, and only waited anxiously for the next meeting, not knowing what the attitude of the general himself would be.

Living in the mountains and forests, looking at the People's Party armed forces that once reached as high as 30,000, he still had a hint of fantasy about seizing national power.

But when he walked into the alley in civilian clothes and saw the equipment of the government army, he understood why so many of them still couldn't beat each other. When he went to Lashio airport to board a military plane and came to Yangon, he saw dozens of jet fighters, propeller fighter-bombers, light bombers, ground attack planes, communication planes, and transport planes on the airport, and he knew completely clear that this so-called revolution was bound to fail in the end!

When he saw the troops of the military subdivision before, he had envy and felt that it was a strong army.

But compared to the government army, Guan Fei is nothing!

Does he have a plane? Is there a tank? Are there armored vehicles? Is there a large-caliber artillery?

No, nothing!

His troops were just well-dressed and had an automatic rifle in their hands, which was no different from other KPA units, even with a pitiful amount of heavy firepower.

Even if his troops are very capable of fighting well, a few thousand people are nothing compared to hundreds of thousands of government troops!

Therefore, when the military plane he was flying on landed at Yangon airport and saw the rows of military planes, he completely lost his heart and decided to completely throw himself into the government army.

The leading major repeated admonitions, listened to him stammer, and made sure he remembered the details before he grasped the ivory handle and pushed the door open.

Peng Degui kept in mind the etiquette of the reception, his eyes were lowered, and his eyes could only see the calves and leather shoes of the major in front of him, and he followed closely two steps behind him. He was uneasy in his heart, and he was not in the mood to appreciate the intricate embroidery patterns on the red stalls that covered the entire hall, which were full of national characteristics.

Due to the excessive pressure in his heart, he was only halfway through, and he felt that his legs were a little sore, and his forehead was oozing sweat. The etiquette of meeting the major just introduced was mixed with the etiquette of meeting the emperor in the palace of the Ming court, which had been handed down from the old generation, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.

The leather shoes in front stopped, Peng Degui's brain was congested, and he involuntarily took a few steps forward, bowed his waist and stretched out his hand: "Traitor Peng Degui, meet the general!" ”

After speaking, he threw himself on the ground and gave a big gift.

The etiquette of the humble to meet the superior is to kneel down and kiss the master's shoes.

He knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands forward, touched a pair of leather shoes on the steps, slowly stretched his head over, kissed the side of the shoe, and then slowly raised his head, followed the other party's calf, slowly went up, and saw a general in military uniform, wearing the rank of general, and with a majestic expression.

Born in 1927, the general is 73 years old this year, and his temples are mostly gray.

He has been in the army for 50 years, and has worked tirelessly all his life, starting as a platoon commander, successively serving as a company commander, deputy battalion commander, brigade commander, division commander, commander of the Northeast Military Region, and then vice minister and minister of national defense.

Although his expression was kind, there was only a bit of majesty in his expression, so that Peng Degui didn't dare to look more after a glance, and quickly lowered his gaze, bent over and waited for the other party to speak.

"The 77th Division reported that you plan to surrender to the government forces and hand over the territory?" A somewhat old and slow, but deep voice, sounded overhead.

"Yes! We are also deceived by others, and when we are dizzy, we will rebel with the People's Party. However, the People's Party engages in great deterioration, and is very discriminatory against us Han people, no, and Guogen people, and never trusts them. My eldest brother helped them lay down a piece of the country, but the defense area was only given to a small Northeast Military Region, this territory was originally ours, where we are the king, and we still need them to seal it? And he is only a deputy commander, and the commander is still sent by the headquarters. In order to guard against our rebellion, they also installed political commissars and instructors in the troops to restrain us. Ever since it was defeated by the government army, the morale of the People's Party has been low and the morale of the people has been weakened, but the People's Party has continued to engage in ultra-leftist behavior, often shooting spies, traitors, and so on, thus causing panic among the people in the base areas, and they are afraid that they will be branded as landlords and counterrevolutionaries, and the lower strata are very resentful of them. Everyone didn't want to fight for a long time, so they wanted to go home and farm, so after discussing it with my brother, I decided to surrender to the government army......"

Peng Degui's scalp was against the carpet, and he chattered in his mouth, telling everything he had thought about in advance and what he hadn't thought about.

After saying that, there was no sound above for a long time.

He didn't know what the general thought, he was shocked and frightened, and he didn't dare to look up, and his body trembled slightly unconsciously.

The thick and old voice sounded again: "Since you said that the troops are all in the hands of political work cadres, how can you pull the team out?" ”

Hearing that there was no anger in the question, Peng Degui breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said: "Although there are many political cadres, the main cadres are our henchmen. A company of the Qingshuihe outpost, we can guarantee complete mastery. As soon as the government forces attack, we will arrest the instructors in the troops, and then get out of the way and let the government troops in. Without the Qingshui River defense line, government troops can enter the hinterland of Guogen unhindered and besiege the county seat. With the strength of the government army, coupled with the cooperation of our internal counterparts, we can occupy the county seat in one day. When the government army occupied Fruit Root, it formed a three-sided encirclement of the People's Party and the Wa people in the north, west, and south, and even if they could not be exterminated, they could be trapped to death, and then the final victory was achieved! ”

"Hmmm! But you are plain in your statement, and you are not boasting. The thick old voice seemed to be satisfied with what he had said, and with an appreciative tone in his tone, he said gently, "What are you going to do next when you hand over the roots?" Are you going to join the army, or do you want to settle down on the spot, or do you have other ideas? ”

"We hope that after the government forces capture Fruit root, they will also take down the military sub-district next to it. Then, my eldest brother and I wanted to hand over the land to us. In order to show our sincerity, we can allow government troops to be stationed, and at the same time hand over the ports connecting to China to the government to guard, and we will also pay more taxes to the treasury for the profits we earn in the future! Peng Degui finally waited for this sentence, his body trembled even more with excitement, and he hurriedly said the words that had circled countless times in his heart at a rapid speed.

"Presumptuous! Since it is also a land of disdain, then where the government troops are to be stationed is the government's arrangement, and it is up to you whether you want it or not! Before the general could reply, the major had already reprimanded loudly.

"Yes! Be! Peng Degui heard that the other party was angry and very afraid, but the greed in his heart was undiminished, gritted his teeth, and continued, "But there are all Chinese over there, and if the government army forcibly captures it, I am afraid that it will attract China to retaliate." But we are different, after all, we are Han Chinese, and we also claim to be descendants of the Ming Dynasty, and we also have a bit of incense with China. It would have been much easier to appease China's anger if only a few troops had been left to watch after the government had taken over the subdivisions, and then it would have been handed over to our brothers. And that place is very valuable, there are many companies in Hong Kong, with our brothers here, we can pay taxes to the government continuously, wouldn't it be more cost-effective than taking an empty piece of land! ”

"Hahahaha!" The vigorous voice laughed loudly above his head, and there was so much joy in his tone that Peng Degui's heart was relieved when he heard it, and he almost collapsed on the ground.

"You're right. After the government forces took Guogen, the land was sandwiched in it, and there was only one exit less than 10 kilometers away from the Chinese side, so it was not difficult to seize this area. In fact, if it weren't for the attitude of the Chinese side, we could have closed this exit at any time and knocked them down. Since you said that you can pay taxes to the government by handing over this place to your brothers, it doesn't hurt to give it to you......"

"General!" The major said urgently.

"Needless to say! Only when there are punishments and rewards can people do things faithfully. Since the Peng brothers are willing to hand over the roots, they should also give them a place to live. It's so decided, General Peng will go back to discuss with Brother Ling first, get ready, and when we do it, we will answer it immediately! Guess what, you send someone back with General Peng as a contact person for the two sides! The vigorous voice commanded.
