Chapter 223: Continue to be friends
Yang Feng told Truman that Li Zongren had helped him, and no matter what attitude the Mi government had, he would not change this position.
As long as Li Zongren stands in line, the rest of the matter will be simple, of course, he doesn't expect the people of the United States to directly support Li Zongren, as long as they don't interfere and continue to stay out of the matter, especially the United Nations, after all, Honsawady is still a member of the United Nations. But there shouldn't be any problem with this, the bald guy is still a permanent member, no matter how he will sell Li Zongren, after all, that is also his vice president, not to mention that on his map, northern Myanmar was originally Minhua territory, this is at most a territorial dispute between the two countries, and putting it in the United Nations is a matter of harmony.
Yang Feng didn't know that at this time, the bald guy was about to die of happiness, and his intelligence system was not dry, Director Mao also discovered the abnormal movement of the Xinhua Army in Yunnan, and then contacted Yang Feng like being stepped on a tail A series of sudden reactions, who could not guess that the growing fox friends were preparing to show each other knives, this news made the bald guy tremble with excitement, but he knew very well what it would mean to him once Yang Feng and Comrade Li started fighting.
In fact, it is different from the propaganda of later generations, the rice people supported him as a thug and fought against the will of the people, at least at this time, when the rice people were the little brother, this beautiful job was just his wishful thinking, and the rice people did not have this interest, and when he got the Goryeo War, he really got his wish, but at this time, the bald guy, how could he have the ability to predict the future, knowing that he would not have to worry about anything for another half a year, and now he is worried about everything.
It's really hard to be a bald guy now. Embattled. Wind and rain. There are strong enemies outside, and there are chaotic people inside, and the only thing that can accompany him is probably Brother Pao's legacy, except for letting Sister Meiling go to the United States to beg grandpa to sue grandma, he has nothing to do.
But if Yang Feng and Comrade Li start fighting, he won't have to worry about anything.
In the style of Yang Fuhrer, it must be rich and rich. Guns and guns, planes, tanks, and warships are pouring in one after another, and Li Zongren is moving at the same time, and the great cause of counteroffensive is just around the corner!
It is said that in recent days, the bald guy has even spoken in public in a much higher tone.
However, he soon found that he was about to rejoice again.
Comrade Li is increasing troops on the border, but he will not do anything just to increase troops, and Yang Feng has indeed sent troops everywhere. Even aircraft carriers have sailed to Hong Kong, and bombers have run exercises in northern Burma. The tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and self-propelled guns continued to drive into Mizhina, but they also didn't fight, and the two sides stared at each other like this, and they kept staring at each other for more than half a month.
They stared at each other there, Li Zongren would not be idle, after the 48th Army went south to join the battlefield, the most classic combination of the Gui family immediately broke out with the most powerful combat effectiveness, Bai Chongxi came to command, easily broke through the Burmese army's defense line in Indo, like a mountain flood bursting the embankment, pouring down towards the central plain of the Irrawaddy River, the Burmese army led by U Nai Win was defeated again and again, and soon retreated to the side of the Irrawaddy River.
By this time, Comrade Li still did not move.
You're going to fight!
The bald guy shouted angrily countless times, but fortunately, it didn't take long for him to know that he didn't need to shout anymore, because the Ming merchant ship on standby in Hong Kong left Victoria Harbor and continued to sail to Tianjin.
Well, Comrade Lee succumbed.
"That's right, friend, friend should be like this, in order to express my respect for Comrade Li, I have taken care of the maintenance of the Chongqing!"
Yang said happily.
With the help of a professional salvage company in the Ming Dynasty, Comrade Li had already fished out the Chongqing, but because it needed a dry dock for repairs, he did not have that much there, so he could only tow it to the nearest shipyard at the Dalian base of the Soviet Union. The Ming engineers in charge of salvage assessed that it didn't cost much, the hull was fine, the boiler was fine, the power system was damaged, and the main gun was not damaged.
However, because it was a shipyard controlled by the Soviets, their words did not work, and the cost of the Soviets' assessment was huge.
Of course, Yang Feng is just talking casually, it is difficult to say whether Comrade Li repairs or not, it is said that there is also a Soviet expert group will soon rush to conduct a second assessment, it is estimated that Comrade Li will have to wait for their assessment results, after all, emotionally he still believes in Big Brother, not to mention that those Ming engineers only maintain warships, not build warships.
Of course, Lao Pan just listened casually, the Chongqing has entered the Dalian shipyard, and the Soviets will definitely not let Yang Feng's people repair it, unless it is towed out and replaced by Xinhua's own territory, but in that case, it will offend the Soviets politically, for a cruiser that I don't know if it can be repaired, so how to deal with this cruiser in the end is still a more troublesome matter.
Sandwiched between Yang Feng and Starlin, Comrade Li was also very embarrassed, reluctant to bring him the benefits that Yang Feng brought him, and could not affect Comrade Starlin's feelings too much, like walking on a tightrope on the slender road under his feet, walking tremblingly, and he had to sway twice when the wind blew.
Of course, these things are not what Lao Pan needs to worry about at the moment, he has another task.
"Your Excellency, if possible, we hope to be able to talk to them directly, after all, Li Zongren is also a famous general in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and has made contributions to the nation, whether he is willing to return to the arms of the people or not, we are willing to give him a chance."
Lao Pan said very simply.
This is the rhythm of thinking about co-opting Li Zongren, but Comrade Li may not be so naïve.
"No problem, what I like the most is to solve problems through dialogue, it's all a family, what to fight!"
Yang Feng said without hesitation.
He didn't worry about this problem, if Li Zongren could be co-opted, he wouldn't listen to him and run away, but it was also a good thing for Yang Feng for them to have a direct dialogue channel between the two sides, he couldn't always be a nanny for Li Zongren, and they would need to deal with many things themselves in the future.
Since there is nothing to say in this way, Yang Feng immediately arranged a plane, first sent Lao Pan to Imphal, and then transferred to Imphal to fly to Mizhina, he and Li Zongren are not unfamiliar, if there is anything to talk about, as the Führer often said, dialogue is the best way to solve the problem.
And at this time, Wu Nu also wanted to solve the problem through dialogue, but he was forced, and if he didn't talk again, he would come to Mandalay, of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Li Zongren actually has armored troops.
After the end of the previous stage of the battle, Li Mi's Eighth Army replaced the Seventh Army, which had been in front, and he appeared on the battlefield with an armored regiment, Sherman tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
In particular, those infantry fighting vehicles are simply unstoppable on the central plains of the Irrawaddy with water networks, and the soldiers carrying all the latest automatic rifles can really be described as people blocking and killing Buddhas, rivers, swamps, and rice fields are all at their disposal, just like wolves on the grassland, constantly dividing and surrounding and tearing off pieces of bloody flesh under the desperate gaze of the Burmese army.
This armored unit was originally in Mizhina to warn Comrade Li of the attack, and after determining that Comrade Li would not interfere, Yang Feng directly did not want it, and gave it all to Li Zongren on the spot, because the latter did not have tank troops in his hands, so the vast majority of them were still Ming troops. These people have fought for many years, and their rich combat experience is not inferior to the armored forces of any country, Britain, and the Soviet Union, and to deal with the Burmese army, which basically has no anti-tank means, to put it bluntly, is just to chase ducks.
And for such armored troops, Yang Feng gave Li Zongren four, originally he gave two armored brigades, but Li Mi, who is familiar with the situation here, thinks that there is no need for such a large establishment, just reorganize into four armored regiments.
However, Wu Nu was frightened, not all because of the defeat on the battlefield, after all, no matter how much failure there is still the natural danger of the Irrawaddy River, the real core area of the Burmese people is on the lower plains, and the north of Mandalay is not the core area, what he is really afraid of is that he has just learned the news that Yang Feng sent arms to the Karen Alliance, compared with Li Zongren, this is the heart disease! Their main area of control is only about 100 kilometers from Yangon.
Of course, there was no shortage of his eyeliner in the Karen people, and he had just learned that a Chinese merchant in Siam had sold the Karen Alliance a full 20,000 old Hanyang-made rifles at a very low price, and it was said that he had also assured the Karen people that he could get as many old arms as he wanted, let alone 20,000, even 200,000.
Wu Nu is not a fool, this look is Li Zongren is eliminating down, except for the Gui family, how can there be a large number of people using Hanyang Made, as soon as he thinks of the Karen Alliance receiving all the arms eliminated by Li Zongren, he has a feeling of scalp numbness, if this situation really occurs, then he will really never have peace.
But he could also do nothing about it, the Karen people had a territory in the southeast, hundreds of kilometers of long border with Siam, and all of them were deep mountains and dense forests, and the Hungsavady government forces could control very little of the territory, and they could completely open their doors to trade. And the Siamese government has actually been controlled by the Chinese capitalists, for such smuggling, they dare not and will not care, in fact, the Siamese government is desperate for the chaos in Honsawady, who would not like the rift of neighboring countries!
Obviously, if he continues to fight, he will not only lose northern Myanmar.
Realizing that he was no longer capable of changing all this, U Nu immediately asked the British government to negotiate an armistice. (To be continued.) )
