Let's go back to the Siamese government.

On the night of Luang Phibun's return to Bangkok, the Siamese government dispatched almost all the police and spies to launch a massive investigation of Japanese advisers and Japanese nationals in almost all cities in Siam.

The bombing was not originally planned by the Japanese, and the Siamese investigation naturally did not yield results.

However, what Luang Phibun needed was not the real result, he just wanted to take this opportunity to prove to the Chinese government that Siam was determined to break with Japan, and also had another meaning, that is, to purge the Siamese army of Japanese advisers and Japanese expatriates in Siam, so as to weaken the Japanese government's control over Siam.

Of course, Luang Phibun didn't dare to do too much, he just sent the Japanese army Gu Department and Japanese expatriates out of the country.

Despite this, Luang Phibun's actions still angered the old devil in the temple, and the old devil was once again furious, intending to swing westward, but was stopped by the new chief of staff of the Southern Army, An Da 23, because the Japanese army base camp strictly ordered the three major strategic front armies of Southern, Central China, and North China not to take any offensive actions in the near future.

The reason is simple, because the Kwantung Army is about to go to war with the Soviet Union.

…………

Yangon, Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

Regarding the bombing in the night speed town, Siam Prime Minister Luang Phibun finally gave an official explanation.

Yue Weihan immediately summoned Wei Lihuang and Huang Jie to discuss countermeasures, and although Stilwell was also the high-level core of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, he was an American after all, so he was obviously not suitable to participate in such an issue.

"The Siamese are as stupid as pigs." Huang Jie said disdainfully, "I really put the plate on the heads of the Japanese." ”

"If you don't put it on the head of the Japanese, who else can you put on it? Mao Renfeng did not leave any traces in Bangkok. Wei Lihuang shook his head, and then said gloomily, "Besides, the matter of Chinese killing Chinese is only done by ourselves, but the Siamese people have not even thought about it." ”

Huang Jie's face immediately became a little embarrassed.

As a descendant of Huangpu, Huang Jie's loyalty to Chairman Jiang is unquestionable, but this time, Chairman Jiang sent Mao Renfeng to Yangon to assassinate Yue Weihan, or Jī Huang Jie's disgust, even though Yue Weihan is wrong in a thousand ways, but how can he also be a middle-class person, if he wants to die, he can only die on the battlefield of resistance against Japan, how can he die at the gunpoint of his compatriots?

"Don't talk about that." Yue Weihan waved his hand and changed the topic, "Luan Phiwen still has some political skills, even if he really finds the traces of Mao Renfeng, I am afraid that he will still detain the plate on the heads of the Japanese, otherwise, how can he take the opportunity to expel the Japanese advisers and Japanese spies in Siam?" ”

"That's right." Wei Lihuang nodded, and said, "But the reaction of the old devil in the temple is very strange." ”

"yes, when did the little devil become so honest?" Huang Jie also said thoughtfully, "In the past, Luang Phi Boon made a slight move, and the dozen or so divisions of the little devil on the Siam border were afraid that they would have been pressed over, but this time, the little devil was stunned and did not take any action, this matter is indeed evil." ”

"It's not surprising at all." Yue Weihan shook his head and said slowly, "It's not that the little devil has turned around, and it's not that the old devil in the temple has become less timid, but it's ...... The Japanese Kwantung Army was about to go north to attack the Soviet Union, and at this time, the Japanese base camp naturally would not let the Southern Army start the war lightly. ”

Huang Jie said awe-inspiringly: "The Kwantung Army wants to attack the Soviet Union in the north? Is this possible? ”

Wei Lihuang nodded, and then said: "Since the defeat of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the connection between many islands in Southeast Asia and the southwest Pacific Ocean and the Japanese mainland is facing the threat of being cut off, and the Indochinese Peninsula connected to the mainland is facing the mortal threat of our expeditionary force, so it is also an inevitable choice to resume the northward expansion plan. ”

"That's how it should be." "However, although the Soviet Union has been divided, the Zhukov group stationed in the Far East still has more than 1 million troops, and there are more than 2,000 tanks, which is an extremely difficult bone for the Kwantung Army, so the Japanese army must concentrate all its resources to ensure victory in this battle." ”

"The Japanese still have to lose this battle." Huang Jie said, "I'm afraid the tragedy of Nomenkan will be repeated." ”

"Not necessarily." Yue Weihan shook his head and said disapprerovingly, "During the Battle of Nomenkan, the Soviet Red Army was an elite division that had been recuperating for a long time, but now the Soviet Red Army stationed in the Far East is a tired division transferred from the Western Front to recuperate, and even most of them are wounded who urgently need to recuperate, and Zhukov probably doesn't have much heart to garrison the Far East now." ”

Huang Jie frowned and said: "The general seat is saying that Zhukov may give up the Far East and wave his army to the west to rescue Stalin?" ”

"It is impossible to abandon the Far East." Yue Weihan shook his head and said, "The Stalin clique has lost all the industrial bases in the traditional European regions of the former Soviet Union, and several industrial cities in the Far East are already his last reliance. ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "However, it is necessary for the Zhukov group to divide its troops to move westward. ”

Wei Lihuang also said: "In Europe, although there are many troops loyal to Stalin, and most of them are elite troops, they are facing 5 million more elite German troops, not to mention Molotov's 6 million rebels? If Zhukov goes, he may not be able to reverse the decline, but if he doesn't go, Stalin will definitely be defeated, and he will definitely not last half a year! ”

"If that's ......," Huang Jie said awe-inspiringly, "the Kwantung Army is really likely to take the Far East!" ”

Yue Weihan nodded, but his heart was full of regret, the current situation in the Soviet Union was so moving, it was a great opportunity for the Chinese nation to take advantage of the fire, but it was a pity that the foundation of the expeditionary force was not stable, and the wings were not fledgling, so he could only miss this opportunity, and the only thing Yue Weihan could do now was to seize the interests of Siam as much as possible through non-war means.

"Forget it, these things are not for you and me to care about, let alone something we can control." Yue Weihan waved his hand, and then said to Wei Lihuang and Huang Jie, "Brother Junru, Dayun (Huang Jiezi), the Japanese Southern Army does not dare to start a war lightly, should we take this opportunity to ask Siam for more privileges?" ”

"Hmm." Huang Jie preemptively said, "Garrisoning Chiang Mai is a must!" ”

Wei Lihuang thought for a moment, and then said: "In addition to the road from Taungoo to Chiang Mai, the railway from Mawlamyine to Bantatonna (Siam) must also be built!" ”

"And add the right to free trade!" Yue Weihan mō chin and said with a sly smile, "Goods entering Siam from Myanmar are exempt from customs duties!" Compared to Wei Lihuang and Huang Jie, Yue Weihan's article was obviously more ruthless, and Luang Phibun really wanted to sign this treaty, and within five years, Siam would be completely reduced to an economic colony of Burma (the Chinese Expeditionary Force).

Myanmar's industrial base under construction is not only heavy industry, but also a large number of light industries.

At this time, Siam already has a population of nearly 20 million, and did not suffer from the war, the common people have abundant food and clothing, the bureaucracy and aristocracy are rich, just the necessities of life and luxury goods is a huge market, once Siam becomes an economic colony, the Chinese expeditionary force can grab hundreds of millions of dollars of war funds from here every year.

As for Siamese Prime Minister Luang Phibunken's refusal to agree, this is not in Yue Weihan's consideration at all.

In order to ensure the victory of the northward expansion plan, the Japanese army has completely shrunk in the remaining strategic directions, in this case, Siam still has a choice? Unless Luang Phibun had the courage to go to war with the expeditionary force, he would have to give in, because submission would at least preserve the sovereign integrity of Siam, and if war began, Siam would only be afraid of the ruin.

The plan has been decided, Yue Weihan handed over the matter to Huang Jie, and Huang Jie has full authority to deal with it, and Yue Weihan has already given Luan Phibun to the face, but the Siamese themselves have not grasped it, so they can only talk to Huang Jie now.

Seeing Huang Jie leave, Wei Lihuang suddenly remembered something and said to Yue Weihan: "By the way, Mr. Li Siguang has already arrived in Myanmar, and he will be able to arrive in Yangon at two o'clock in the afternoon." ”

"Mr. Zhong Gong has arrived in Burma!?" Yue Weihan stretched out his hand and looked at his watch, it was almost two o'clock, and he hurriedly said to Wei Lihuang at the moment, "Brother Junru, come with me to the station to greet you, Mr. Zhong Gong is a great scientist and a great educator, what he knows, we martial artists can't learn it in ten lifetimes, we can't be lazy!" ”

…………

At Yangon Railway Station, Mr. Li Siguang, who was in the prime of life, slowly walked off the train with several students.

"Teacher, this is Yangon?" A student looked at the endless crowd outside the Yangon railway station and the passenger and freight trains rumbling by the platform, and said with envy, "It's much more prosperous and lively than Chongqing and Kunming, I really don't know when our country will become so prosperous?" ”

The other students, who had just been talking, immediately fell silent.

Mr. Li Siguang's face is also a little dignified, he has studied geology for most of his life, and his greatest wish in life is to be able to travel all over the mountains and rivers of the motherland in his lifetime, and find out the rich natural resources hidden under the great rivers and mountains, for future generations to develop and enjoy, and finally realize the dream of a strong country that has not been realized by contemporary Chinese people.

However, the reality is cruel, and before Mr. Li Siguang could show his ambitions, China ushered in the invasion of the Japanese invaders.

In the blink of an eye, the land was lost, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and Mr. Li Siguang tossed and turned all night at night in front of the broken map of China hanging in his office, unable to sleep, however, just when Mr. Li Siguang thought that what he had learned in his life was about to be buried, an invitation letter from Myanmar flew to Chongqing and put it on his desk.

Although Myanmar is not Chinese territory, everyone knows that this is already the territory of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!

Without any hesitation, Mr. Li Siguang gladly accepted the invitation, immediately packed his bags, took the most capable students, and rushed to Myanmar without tirelessness.

"Teacher, it looks like someone has come to greet us." Just when Mr. Li Siguang sighed, the student next to him suddenly bumped him lightly with his arm, and when Mr. Li Siguang looked up urgently, he saw that two *** generals with a posture of writing tǐng had already strode towards him, and the first *** general was very young, but the collar badge was adorned with four shining gold stars.

Mr. Li Siguang was suddenly in awe, a four-star (first-class) general of such an age, who else could there be besides Yue Weihan?

"This must be Mr. Zhong Gong (Li Siguang)?" Yue Weihan strode forward, stood upright, and saluted.

"Don't dare, don't dare." Mr. Li Siguang shook his hands and hurriedly stretched out his hands to Yue Weihan, Yue Weihan also quickly took off the white gloves on his hands, and then shook Mr. Li Siguang's rough big hands with both hands, and said very sincerely, "Mr. Zhonggong, welcome, it's great that you can bring a few high-ranking feet to Myanmar!" ”

Yue Weihan's words were by no means polite, and Mr. Li Siguang was indeed overjoyed to be able to bring his students to Myanmar.

At present, in Myanmar, a large number of industrial equipment and a large number of skilled workers aided by the United States have been put in place, and Mandalay Steel City, Ringanqiang Petroleum City and Yangon Industrial City are all working overtime to build, but one thing, coal, iron, copper and other veins have not yet been found, and the small oil fields in Ringanqiang were still found by the British decades ago.

Although Yue Weihan knew that Myanmar was rich in resources, he did not know where to hide it.

Although the U.S. government also sent a lot of experts, but most of them were in the military industry, and there were a few geologists, but the level of these geologists was really not very good, and after tossing around Myitkyina for several months, they only found a small gold mine and a vein of jadeite, and the most urgently needed iron and copper were not found at all.

Therefore, the arrival of Mr. Li Siguang and his students has solved Yue Weihan's urgent need.

Yue Weihan has absolutely no doubts about Mr. Li Siguang's knowledge and ability, not to mention anything else, the entire Japanese geological community asserts that China is an oil-poor country, but Mr. Li Siguang has dug out a huge amount of crude oil from under the Northeast and North China Plains.

What do you think is the most lacking resource in Japan in history?

There is no doubt that what Japan lacks most is oil and iron ore, and if it were not for the fact that crude oil and iron ore could not be found on the mainland, the Japanese would have been able to go south to compete with the United States and Britain for food. But the reality played a big joke with the Japanese, and China, which was asserted by the Japanese geological community as a poor oil and iron country, was finally found to contain a large amount of oil and iron ore!

So, in a sense, it was Japan's short-sighted geology that led to Japan's defeat.

In this sense, Mr. Li Siguang, like Mr. Qian Xuesen, are top scientists in their respective fields, and they are also the most precious treasures of the Chinese nation.
