In fact, neither Yang Feng nor Li Zongren wants peace talks now.

They made a serious mistake in judging the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army, and no one expected that they would fight so forbiddenly, and the two armies would actually attack Mandalay, so that the previous plan was too conservative, and in addition, they also ignored the unexpected factor of the Karen Alliance.

As long as you keep giving them arms, Wu Nu will stop if he is interested, and Wu Nu will give more if he is not interested, anyway, it's just scrap copper and rotten iron.

If the Karen people can't withstand Wu Nu, then this side will fight a dozen, and if the Karen people have the upper hand, then this side will slow down, and control the rhythm This game can be played for decades.

In this way, there is no need to cede the occupied area west and north of the Irrawaddy River, and to negotiate and talk about it, who will spit out the fat in their mouths? As for the control of the occupied territories, this is not a big deal, didn't the Britons control it just as well back then?

But the next attack is also unnecessary, the most effective threat is not to shoot, a Mandalay that may be conquered at any time is much more valuable than a Mandalay that has already been conquered.

Therefore, on the grounds that the Hungawaddy government was not sincere in the peace talks, Li Zongren explicitly rejected U Nu's request for peace talks, and claimed that he would go to Rangoon to discuss the territorial dispute between the two sides face to face with him.

However, after a day-long bombardment of the city, the Chinese Army, which had already arrived in Mandalay, did not force its way across the Irrawaddy River to take Mandalay, as U Nu and U Nai Win feared, but stopped further offensives. Bai Chongxi is at the helm of Ruibao. Take the eighth. The 48th and 2nd Corps maintained the threat to Mandalay, crossed the Mon River with two armored regiments and the 26th Corps, which was reinforced by two armored regiments, and easily captured the important town of Monywa on the Qindun River, and then crossed the Qintun River to gradually clear all parts of the west bank.

With limited troops, U Nai Win, who had to protect Mandalay, could only watch as the Minhua army picked fruits one by one as if no one was there, and even made a posture of threatening Ringanqiang to the south, so that Wu Nu had to send two new divisions that were preparing to be put into the Eastern Front battlefield to Ringanqiang in a hurry. This ancient oil field is also something he must not lose, and although the annual output is only more than one million tons, it is the main financial support for him.

However, the strange performance of the Minhua Army finally made Wu Nu breathe, and after the situation on the Western Front temporarily stabilized, he began to seriously deal with the Karen Alliance.

But at this time, the Karen Alliance was already very difficult to deal with, these mountain people were already brave and good at fighting, and they could threaten Yangon with such poor equipment, not to mention the Hanyang made by the water. There were even some mortars that Li Zongren had eliminated, and the grenadiers were sold to them at the price of cabbage. The firepower has risen sharply, and the vast majority of the Burmese troops who attacked them are patchwork recruits, and on this front, the Burmese army is also fighting bitterly.

"Leave them alone! With the Karen Alliance here, Unu is something we can handle casually, and now it's time to think about the occupation zone. ”

Ying Tian's head of state, Yang Feng said to Li Zongren and Huang Xuchu with great interest.

"Now your occupation zone is starting from Mizhina, going south along the Monyang Valley, then south along the Mezha Valley, then adding the Mon River, this open plain from the lower reaches of the Jindun River to the Irrawaddy River, such a long strip of great bones. And to the east of the Irrawaddy valley to the Shan highlands, this is still under the control of the Honsawaddy government, but in reality, it is full of chaotic ethnic groups, and the U Nu will be very happy if they are unlucky, so the threat of these people can be ignored.

The road to Assam to the west is also under your control, and to the north there are grapes that can be taken over by a casual regiment, but further south to the upper reaches of the Qintun River, the area of the Rakhine Mountains still belongs to the Honsavady government. However, you control the lower reaches of the Qindun River, and this place has actually become an enclave, and you can take over it with a few random people, so that the biggest threat to you is actually the neutral Kachin mountain people, these guys are not easy to deal with, and once there is a guerrilla war, it will be troublesome.

I've got a plan here, you can go back and test these guys, and if they don't want to, we'll find another way. ”

"Führer, what is your plan?"

Huang Xuchu hurriedly asked.

They also knew that the problems of the Kachin had to be solved, because it was impossible to get around these guys to mine the jadeite in the mountains, and once this treasure house was opened, it would be strange that the latter would not be blushing!

"Invite them to come down and live!"

Yang Feng said insidiously: "The number of Kachin people is actually not very large, a total of only a few hundred thousand people, and there are a large number of people who live on flat land, even if these people all go down the mountain, they don't need too much space, of course, they do not have a place under the mountain now, but what if they drive away some of the Burmese people?"

Give up a good place of abundance, invite them down the mountain, encourage them to drive away the Burmese, anyway, they have a grudge, we just need to clear the field for them, let them do it themselves, and promise to welcome them to live in the plains with the Han people afterwards, and build a country together. Anyway, give them enough cakes, as long as I can trick them out of the scattered mountains and forests, and I can coax them with some knick-knacks, and I can give them food, as long as they come out of the mountains. ”

"Führer, you're raising pigs!"

Huang Xuchu suddenly understood Yang Feng's intentions.

The Kachin are difficult to deal with, it's not that they are numerous, they can fight, no matter how much they can fight, they are just a group of semi-civilized savages, can they block tanks or fighters? It's where they live, the savage mountain where tens of thousands of expeditionary troops died of disease and starvation is their home, the boundless primeval forest, let alone go in and fight them, outsiders will die for a trip, on the contrary, if they want to come out and attack, they can attack at any time, and then drill back into the forest, in this case, they are simply invincible.

However, such a living environment is also difficult.

They are easily confused by the good things outside the mountains, give them plains, give them good food, fun, just like boiling frogs in warm water, and cook them from brave and warlike mountain people into fat pigs who only know how to eat and drink, and when that time comes, even if they raise the butcher knife and put it on their necks, they will hum at most twice, and the wild boar that the tigers in the mountains are afraid of will become a domestic pig that can be slaughtered in this way, the only problem is that this time will be longer.

And they need a quick solution, because the jadeite in the mountains can't wait.

Li Zongren looked at Yang Feng with an inquiring gaze.

"Degong, please believe me, as long as they get out of the mountains and forests, then the name Kachin people can basically disappear."

Yang Feng said lightly.

"Okay, I'll go back and test with them, even if it's a thank you for keeping them neutral, anyway, on our territory, the Burmese still have to try to be as few as possible, it's better for them to do this kind of thing than for us to do it."

Li Zongren nodded and said.

This kind of thing has accumulated countless experiences in all dynasties, and he has controlled Guangxi for decades, and he is even more veteran of playing this.

"And the question of how you will rule there in the future, I think the best way is for the Han people to build their own cities alone, not to live together with other ethnic groups, you must know that non-my race, their hearts will be different, the number of our Han people is too small, only by living together can we form a strong force, scattering or mixing with sand by ourselves, it is self-defeating.

So my suggestion is to adopt a population registration system, the cities where the Han people live, prohibit other ethnic groups from living, even if they enter the city, they must have the corresponding documents, otherwise they can be arrested, and the Han people can establish four cities, Mizhina in the north, Ruibao and Monyuwa in the south, Menggong in the middle, and the four places in the middle are connected by the existing railway.

But these four cities do not need to be built according to the original city, but build new cities separately, so as to avoid conflict with the natives of the original cities, after all, what we need in the initial stage is to settle down first. As for the cost of construction, my bank will provide you with a loan, and the materials such as reinforced concrete you need will be purchased directly from me with a loan, including the construction technicians, who will also be hired here, so that although it will take a little longer, it will be guaranteed to be undisturbed.

These cities were built according to the fortress, all the people were soldiers, and all Han people, both men and women, had to undergo militarized training, so that the four cities were four fortresses, and then the four cities were used as the core to develop industry.

Taking Mizhina as an example, it is surrounded by mountains and forests, and a large number of precious teak trees are produced, so it is possible to develop wood processing and papermaking, packaging materials and other industries, and at the same time, there are many kinds of fruits around, and canned juice processing is also a good project.

And Meng Gong can be developed into a jade jade processing and trade center in the future, looking at such a large jade mine, of course, you have to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, as for Ruibao, this is the most important grain producing area, I will provide you with good seeds, you can build some large plantations around here, anyway, it is mainly a Burmese settlement, you might as well be ruthless to these people, I don't think I need to teach me about land annexation, right?

There is a copper mine near Monywa, which is not small, and there is a large coal mine in Greva, in the upper reaches of the Qindun River, which can be turned into a heavy industrial city.

You see, all of a sudden, four cities have risen, and your national skeleton has been established, and as for the outside of these cities, if you let them die, let them be in chaos, and if they don't mess up, you will stir them up, and what you want is for them to kill each other. Anyway, these chaotic ethnic groups have a little hatred and a bit of conflict of interest among each other, give them promises, give them cakes, you just need to promise not to let the Honsavady government come back, don't let them have someone to manage and order, and then you can live comfortably in these cities to develop the economy and gradually expand the territory of the city. ”

Yang Feng said proudly. (To be continued.) )
