Chapter 543 - Planning Myanmar (Thanks to "Sue Tian" for a great reward)
After the battle, the British and American governments highly praised and posthumously awarded Sun Liren and General Dai Anlan the Meritorious Service Medal.
The loss of Burma had a very negative impact on the subsequent war, causing China to completely lose the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the only land line of communication, and to open an air route from India over the Hump (in the Himalayas).
In the First Burma War, the Japanese suffered about 4,500 casualties, the British suffered more than 13,000 casualties, and the Chinese expeditionary force suffered more than 50,000 casualties (most of them in the Savage Mountains of the Hukang River Valley).
After the defeat in Burma, part of the Chinese expeditionary force retreated into British India.
Under the guidance of Stilwell, chief of staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, he was trained and reorganized at the Ramgarh training camp, and was equipped with a full range of American-style equipment with US aid materials, thus greatly enhancing his combat effectiveness.
At the same time, in view of the importance of Burma, China is actively preparing a counteroffensive against Burma, reorganizing and retraining the second batch of expeditionary forces in western Yunnan, and is ready to coordinate with British and American forces to counterattack Burma at any time.
It was in this context that Chongqing learned that Zhou Lin had been transferred to Burma with Yamada.
This is good news for the Chongqing government and the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
With Zhou Lin in Burma, it was reported that the situation of the Japanese troops stationed in Burma would be of beneficial help to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Therefore, Dai Li, under the instructions of the old man, set up the Burma branch of the military command.
More than 100 experienced agents were transferred, plus the original agents in Myanmar, and they were handed over to Yang Kun for management.
And among the more than 100 people led by Yang Kun, no one knew about Zhou Lin.
It's just that Yang Kun has a one-line connection with Zhou Lin, and Yang Kun's current identity is an overseas Chinese from Myanmar and a businessman in the jade business.
According to the address left by Yang Kun, Zhou Lin came to Baobao Zhai.
As soon as he entered the "Jewel Zhai", Zhou Lin saw Yang Kun in disguise.
The current Yang Kun speaks indigenous dialect and wears indigenous clothes.
If it weren't for the code, Zhou Lin would definitely not believe it: This is Yang Kun?
The two came to the house behind the store, and Yang Kun made tea for Zhou Lin.
Zhou Lin glanced at the "Jewel Zhai": "I see that your business here is sluggish. ”
Yang Kun replied: "My tea house is in a hurry to resell, so I lowered the price. When I got here, the price of jade was very expensive, so I didn't buy much. The goods are scarce and the customers are scarce, and the business is naturally poor. ”
Zhou Lin took the cigarette handed by Yang Kun: "This shop is still your private." ”
Yang Kun nodded: "With the money given by the director, several daily necessities stores have been opened as liaison stations." I'm only here for you. ”
Zhou Lin nodded and took out a large handful of Japanese military tickets from his body.
THIS IS AN ENGLISH VERSION OF THE SOUTHEAST ASIAN MILITARY STAMP, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE Chinese VERSION OF THE MILITARY STAMP ISSUED BY CHINA, WITH THE TITLE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT AND THE WORDS "IMPERIAL GOVERNMENT OF JAPAN" UNDERNEATH, AND THE CURRENCY IS FIVE RUPEES, THAT IS, FIVE RUPEES.
One rupee can be exchanged for twenty kyats, and the five rupees can be worth one hundred kyats.
The coin was a military ticket that the Japanese army threw into Burma. This is the Japanese army in order to "feed the war with war", in Tengchong set up the "Greater East Asia Low Profit Bank" issued, its face not only retains the seal of the Minister of Finance, but also specially designed with Southeast Asian characteristics.
At the time of the invasion, the Japanese army did not forget to strengthen the integration of localization in order to achieve better colonization.
Zhou Lin took out a military ticket of 10,000 rupees, worth 200,000 kyats.
"You take these military tickets to buy a batch of goods. Make the store beautiful and atmospheric, so that I can come in and match my identity. Otherwise, it is easy to be suspicious. ”
Zhou Lin couldn't help but give the 10,000 rupes in his hand to Yang Kun.
Yang Kun said with a smile: "With your reward, my store has entered the Myanmar Zhongxing store." My status has risen. ”
Zhou Lin said with a smile: "Anyway, I don't need money to buy this money, I took it from Yamada." ”
When Yang Kun heard this, he immediately put away the military ticket.
"Where's your family?" Zhou Lin looked inside and outside the house.
"How can they live in this store? This is where I get in touch with you. ”
Zhou Lin knew that Yang Kun's arrangement was right: "Let them go to Zhoujia Island." ”
Yang Kun hesitated: "If the director knows, he will suspect me ......"
Zhou Lin waved his hand: "You just tell him directly, I let your family go to Zhoujia Island to facilitate your work and identity cover, he should agree." ”
Yang Kun immediately went to the basement and sent a telegram to Dai Li.
Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Dai Li's message replied: agree.
After Zhou Lin saw the telegram, he asked Yang Kun to send his family to Zhoujiadao tomorrow.
Zhou Lin gave Yang Kun a thousand oceans to live on Zhoujia Island for his family, and Zhou Lin knew that Yang Kun had no money in his hands.
As for the house, Zhou Lin informed Zhoujiadao to give Yang Kun a house.
Like Wu Mingtao, Li Ziqiang, Lotus sister-in-law, Chang Liang, Shen Xiping, and Zhou Lin all gave them a house, and the rest of them bought it at a discounted price.
The price is 30 percent cheaper than the market price.
Myanmar has a boat directly to Zhoujia Island, although the island is closed, but there are Zhou Lin's tokens, they can enter Zhoujia Island.
Zhou Lin came over today mainly to take a look at the situation of the contact point.
The two of them ordered an external dead letter, as well as a code.
Zhou Lin returned to the dock and was warmly welcomed by the big wolf and the second wolf.
"Are you still used to it here?" Zhou Lin touched the head of the big wolf and the second wolf and asked.
The two dogs pouted a few words and replied to Zhou Lin.
After letting them play on their own, Zhou Lin returned to the house and saw Xiangjun seated.
"Have you met Li Ziqiang?" Zhou Lin asked Xiangjun.
Xiangjun nodded: "See!" I went with Magnolia. Li Ziqiang and Lotus sister-in-law are ready to open a small Sichuan restaurant. ”
Zhou Lin hurriedly said: "If you want to open it, open a big restaurant." ”
Xiangjun agreed: "I also said the same to them, their money is not enough, I gave them the 10,000 military tickets you gave." ”
"With 10,000 military tickets, their restaurant will be opened." Zhou Lin said.
Xiangjun held Zhou Lin's hand: "Husband, where did you get these multi-Japanese military tickets?" ”
Zhou Lin sat down: "When I was in Zhoujia Island, Smith gave it." ”
"Where did he get so many Japanese military tickets?" Xiangjun asked curiously.
Zhou Lin pretended to be mysterious and said: "You forgot the 200 million coupons that Dai Li gave." ”
Xiangjun understood: "It turned out to be a forgery." By the way, have you run out of the 200 million China Reserve Bills and Federal Bank Bills? ”
Zhou Lin said proudly: "All of them have been turned into commodities and shipped back to Nanyang." Just when Yamada was transferred, he didn't care about anything, and the newcomers didn't get started, so I asked those sons and brothers to buy all the goods in the Central Reserve Bonds and Union Bank Bonds. It was transported to Zhoujia Island in the South Seas. ”
Xiangjun was surprised: "That's a lot of money!" How is it divided? ”
"After selling the goods, 60% of the funds returned were given to Dai Li, and 20,000 US dollars were given to Li Xiang, so that he could share them with everyone. The rest is mine. However, all the money that has been sold has been given to them, and the rest of the part that belongs to me has not been sold, which is all in short supply, and I will keep it later. So I don't have the money. ”
"If there is goods, there is money, and you will only make more money, not less."
Zhou Lin nodded: "Do you have any new instructions in Yan'an?" ”
