July 27, 1941. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoKunming.

After receiving the military council's vague order to agree to fight, Xiaolu and his wife boarded Lu Han's plane with their staff guards and arrived in Kunming on the evening of August 1.

The purpose of the trail was achieved. This time, not only did Chongqing know that they were still fighting behind enemy lines, but also paralyzed the national government, even if the secret was leaked, the Japanese army would not regard the harassment of small troops in Chaoyang and other places as a major matter. Of course, due to the channels of contact between Chongqing and Japan, leaks are inevitable. I hope to confuse Japan as well.

Soon, Kunming arrived.

Luján's plane was to transport his own people, and by the way, medicines. After getting off the plane, a person at the airport greeted him and said, "Is the boss from the northeast?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Yes. ”

The man whispered, "Please get in the car, I was sent by Captain Li and Deputy Captain He." In the southwest, Li He's public identity, Li is the company's deputy director, wandering around like a wandering spirit, focusing on overall work, He is the chairman, specifically responsible for the company's business and this part. Outsiders know these two identities, and as for the identities of the leader and vice captain of the advance team, only a few people in the core know.

The car walked into the downtown area of Kunming and was drowned in the crowd.

After getting off the plane, the bright sunshine, bright blue sky, and refreshing climate of Kunming made Xiaolu realize that this was not Chongqing. The bumpy sandstone road makes the trail understand that this is Kunming in the thirties.

Xue Rui took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect to come to Kunming so soon. ”

Xiaolu: "I used to yearn for Kunming? ”

Xue Rui said: "Speaking of which, you may not believe it, I read a travelogue by Mrs. Song Meiling, and since then I have known Kunming, and gradually began to like Kunming. The sun was too strong. ”

Xiaolu: "I know. Song Meiling came to Kunming in April 1935 and wrote the article "Southwest Roaming". ”

Xue Rui: "The southwest mountain is far away, and the scenery is infinite. Especially after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was even more prosperous. Many schools have come here, the culture is prosperous, and the Great Southwest will be better. ”

Xiaolu: "Look, it's a folk house in Kunming, called a seal." Doesn't it look like a seal? ”

Xue Rui: "A little. It feels too narrow and not open. ”

Xiaolu: "Of course, people in the Northeast will feel that it is not open. But the sun is strong here, and the rainstorms are strong. This kind of hospital implementation is very reasonable. Avoid sunlight and keep the house less hot. ”

Xiaolu understands architecture, used to go to historical sites, and also has some insight into traditional houses, such as Northeast houses, Southwest Hakka tulou, North China courtyards, Tianjin houses, Shanghai Shikumen, Suzhou gardens, and so on. Whenever there is a house involved in a historical event, take a look at it by the way.

Xue Rui said: "Kunming is so good. Let's settle down in Kunming in the future. ”

Xiaolu said: "Okay, when the Anti-Japanese War is won, let's settle down in Kunming." ”

The words of the two about the An family were a little insincere. The path is to return to the future, and this is a matter of principle. Xue Rui was reluctant to leave this era, and he was reluctant to take a path, and he was very distressed. Sometimes, when I hear Xiaolu talk about the future situation, I also look forward to it.

The car drove into a large courtyard in the suburbs, and as soon as the car got off the road, it was surrounded by people who rushed out of the house, and everyone saluted and shook hands. Most of these people don't know each other, but they know Xiaolu and have long wanted to see him.

Just then, the gate opened and a car drove in. Without waiting for the car to stop, the two people jumped down and saluted: "Li Wei report." "He Wenyuan report." The expressions of the two businessmen disappeared completely, and they suddenly became warriors.

Xiaolu saluted: "You have worked hard. Well done. ”

Several people looked at each other, and for a long time, their arms were clasped, and they laughed.

After laughing for a long time, Li He and the others probably felt that they had ignored Xue Rui, put down the path, and greeted Xue Rui. They are all old comrades-in-arms, and they are very cordial to meet.

The four of them talked alone, the content of the conversation was confidential, and there were people standing guard outside the door, every few hours. After talking for a few hours, Xue Rui went to rest, and the remaining three people continued to talk.

The three of them talked all night, from the mutual situation to the international and domestic situation. Finally, the trail gives them the most indication of the layout for the next step.

One of the tasks of the trail is to lay out the southwest. Regarding the southwest, it is very vague, and the vast majority of people understand the southwest as the southwestern provinces, such as Yunnan, Sichuan, Xikang, Guizhou and other places. However, the trail defines the southwest as not only these places, but also Burma, southern Tibet, northern Indochina, and so on.

Today, Li Wei and He Wenyuan have tens of thousands of veterans of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, tens of thousands of Sichuan soldiers, and a large number of workers and peasants in Sichuan and Guizhou. Workers produce in dozens of factories, they manage 100,000 peripheral workers, they manage hundreds of thousands of peasants, and peasants are in hundreds of farms.

There are evening schools and schools in every factory farm, and these people have adapted and become accustomed to the management of Fuxian Company. Its core of soldiers, workers, peasants have joined the organization.

Xiao Lu learned about the situation in detail, and said with great joy: "The potential of people is huge, a ruffian, after more than ten hours of education, he has changed into a person, becoming an anti-Japanese warrior, a factory manager, it seems that our nation has awakened." This southwest is very populous, which is different from the northeast. Good. Your accomplishments are amazing, not bad. Not bad. ”

According to the plan of the previous trail, let them develop in Yunnan. They developed mines, factories, and dozens of farms in several regions of Yunnan. In order to establish good relations with the Yunnan warlords, he only built a cigarette factory in Kunming, in which Yunnan Wang Longyun and Lu Han both had shares. Three partnerships, everyone makes a fortune.

The company's output is more, the investment is also large, according to common sense, its profits have already created how many tycoons, but a large number of profits are invested in highways and bridges, land and water conservancy, people's livelihood, education at all levels, new factories, although the bigwigs have a lot of nominal wealth, in fact, dividends are not very much.

Xiaolu said: "Our contacts are already very good, we can let go of the development in Yunnan, first, send people along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to the border." The factory was to be kept away from the road so as not to be occupied by the Japanese army. ”

Li Wei said: "Okay." I've wanted to do this for a long time. ”

Xiaolu said: "Second, the power develops to Myanmar. It occupies a territory in northern Myanmar. There the Japanese would have marched along the Burma Highway. Wherever there are devils, we will be the base there. ”

He Wenyuan said: "What about Guangxi?" ”

Xiaolu said: "Third, Guangxi is the base camp of the Guangxi system, we are not too public, we can lay out the southern coast of Guangxi, that is, from the border of Yunnan to the border of Guangxi." ”

Li Wei said: "If even the two Guangxi are laid out, then the cadres will not be enough. ”

Xiaolu said: "Don't worry, cadres, there will be people, Chongqing will send people, and dozens or hundreds of cadres will be sent over." You only train the army, and train the army in the name of the militia. Ideological education should be strengthened. Soon, Japan's plans to expand southward will affect this area. At that point, we can go free. ”

He Wenyuan said: "The two of us are really too busy, and it is not enough to separate our bodies, and as a result, the order of some factories is not ideal. ”

Xiaolu said: "This is not unexpected. Division Commander Lin is actively moving, and a large number of military cadres will arrive soon. Some underground party cadres, officers and men of the Eighth Route Army, and officers and men of the New Fourth Army will come to the southwest. You are just pioneers. Fourth, we have joined forces with the Southwest Associated University in Kunming to set up a number of factories to produce materials for civilian use, and to select reliable ones from among the students to set up military factories. As for these four points, the Yunnan part, we must see results this year. In the next year, we will strive to arm 10,000 troops. ”

Li Wei said: "We have discussed, we should divide the labor, he is in charge of the commercial economy, society, and I am in charge of the military, organization, and opening up new base areas. If you agree, we'll settle it that way. ”

Xiaolu: "I'm optimistic. Now that you have laid the foundation, in the near future, there will be more military cadres of Division Commander Lin, and they should be the main ones in the southwest. I hope you two understand this. ”

Li Wei said: "I have been prepared for this for a long time. I like to open up new bases. In the future, when they occupy this place, I will lead 20,000 people to settle down in southern Tibet and expand the territory. ”

Xiao Lu: "I talked about the Tibetan issue. However, that is a bright prospect, and we must make arrangements for Tibet as soon as possible, on the premise of focusing on the overall situation of resisting Japan. The most important thing in the layout of Tibet is to lay out Myanmar and India. The layout of Myanmar and India should be carefully studied. ”

Li Wei said: "At night, you talked about the Tibet issue, the geographical relationship between Myanmar and India, and now we still have time to lay out. ”

"I have an idea to help Myanmar build a road to India. If there is a major road to India, the Americans, who are currently based in India, can attack Burma and Yunnan along the road. The Japanese were also able to attack India along the road. We're taking advantage of the chaos. ”

Li Wei: "Yes, yes, we can make chaos here, and we can take the opportunity to develop." ”

Xiaolu: "Is this what you came up with?" ”

Li Wei: "That's good. The two of us figured it out. But there is a question, are you sure that the Japanese will attack Burma immediately? ”

Xiaolu: "It was a matter of time before the Japanese attacked Burma, and the time was ripe for them to attack. You will follow the plan of the Burma, the India, and the Poor. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Ours did follow this path. ”

Xiaolu: "That's great. Burma was a British colony, and Britain was in decline, and here it was opposed by local political forces, but they were not willing to decline. India was a British colony, and Britain was in a better position in India. The British are also laying out Tibet, and they have not stopped, but they are a little out of reach. At the moment, they have some troops stationed in Tibet, mainly Indian soldiers. ”

He Wenyuan said: "I have a question, what is the significance of Tibet to us? ”

Xiaolu: "The significance of Tibet is very important. China is an empire, an empire in decline, where the land is divided piece by piece, and the inland is leased out piece by piece. This decline has been gradually changed by a large number of excellent molecules, and gradually become less and less weak. At this time, if you lose a large amount of land, you will inevitably be bullied by others and will be questioned by the people. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Understood." ”

Li Wei: "I'm not worried about meaning. My idea is how to make things a given fact. ”

Xiaolu: "There is no clear demarcation between Tibet and India, in the past, the British colonists made a McMahon Line, and assigned tens of thousands of square kilometers of our land to India, this land, we call it Southern Tibet. The flat land is difficult and can be occupied along the foot of the mountain. We can start with Myanmar and copy the back road in southern Tibet first. ”

Li Wei: "I know that I have come into contact with several great lamas from Xikang and learned some about the situation in Tibet. Those great lamas in Tibet are scaring the Tibetans, and they are stupid people who play politics with the British. And what about northern Myanmar? ”

Xiaolu: "You have a heart. The northern part of Myanmar was actually originally a place in China, and the Kokang people were actually Han Chinese, the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Some ethnic minorities are also found in Yunnan. Northern Burma and Indochina were the borders between China and the British, and the Chinese and French powers. I'm going to redraw my sphere of influence here with legitimate countries. ”

He Wenyuan said: "The interaction with France is for the redivision of this sphere of influence? ”

Xiaolu: "That's just one of the purposes. The main purpose is to fight fascism all over the world. In this matter, we only have a conspiracy, not a conspiracy. In China's sphere of influence, Chinese language education, winning the hearts and minds of the people, and expanding the territory are things that will go down in history. ”

Li Wei: "Wherever there are Japanese, we can develop our forces. This is the biggest conspiracy. In northern Vietnam, we can also get a foot in it. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Captain, if you delineate the general scope, we will do it according to your scope." ”

Path: "Map map." ”

The situation in Burma and southern Tibet was decided through the deliberations of the three of them. Because their plan was to build a road from northern Burma to southern Tibet, the road into southern Tibet was much smoother, which greatly promoted the control of southern Tibet.

The difficulty in controlling Tibet in the past dynasties lies in transportation. If the traffic is blocked, even if you take it down, you have to throw it away. Officials of the Republic of China who entered Tibet even had to go to India by sea and enter Tibet through the Zhangmu Pass, which was more difficult than going abroad. Although this road is a mountain road and is extremely difficult, it is generally built.

What a few people didn't expect was that the construction of this road was later helped by the Americans. The machinery of the American sappers greatly accelerated the construction of the road.

After He and Li learned the origin of the McMahon Line, they understood the fundamental idea of the road, and knew why Mr. Lu knew that there were huge difficulties in building the road, but he was determined to build it. This line would in the future be the de facto occupation zone, and it would be a significant further south than the McMahon Line.

Later, India relied on the convenient transportation to move more than 300,000 people to this area, making it difficult for China to recover this area.

As for the northern part of Burma, Li and He know a lot, there are many Chinese, ethnic minorities and ethnic minorities in Yunnan are also connected, as long as the communication line is reached, it is easy to occupy.

What Xiaolu can't tell them is that this place used to be a three-regardless area in later generations, and it was occupied by the Kuomintang Li Mibu for a long time. Li Mi once said that it is not possible to counterattack the mainland, but it is still easy to be the king of Burma. Occupied early, future generations will be less troublesome.

It's before the national independence movement, many countries didn't exist yet, many borders were not clear, and this was the last chance.
