Chapter 264: The Best Times
Myanmar, Mandalay in July 1941 is no longer the dilapidated town during the British occupation, the low-rise houses are all planned as the old city, and the new city is built by the Burmese people under the call of the people's political axe led by General Tuo Chung. After becoming the supreme leader of the Burmese People's Government, General Tuo Chung actively imported advanced machinery from northern China and opened a number of livelihood factories while reforming the internal affairs of the country.
Since General Tuo Chung liberated the northern part of Burma, 100,000 Japanese troops were killed and wounded, and a number of new ones were replenished, and finally more than 70,000 Japanese troops were left in northern Burma. Although the army also 'took' a lot of resources from the hands of the Burmese people's political axe, it did not excessively persecute this nascent regime, but only silently stationed here, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.
Whether it is Yue himself, the British or the French, they all understand that the reading power in northern Myanmar is deliberately created by the Chinese. However, China and Britain negotiated and finally won the right to build the China-Burma Railway in southern Burma, and all they had to pay was a small railway tax symbolic of their surnames.
In the Sino-British negotiations, there was a deadline for the time when the troops would be stationed, and the final evacuation time set in this negotiation happened to be exactly what he wanted.
"General Tuo Chung, our political axe is glad to see that the northern part of Myanmar can be under the leadership of the general and finally become prosperous and powerful. Although the imperial army is about to start, the empire will not forget the Burmese comrades-in-arms who once fought side by side. I believe that in the near future, the whole of Southeast Asia will be bathed in imperial glory, and that the Southeast Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere is not just a dream, it will eventually be put into practice. At that time, the Great Emperor will have a gift for the political axe of this empire. ”
A mustachioed man said that he was in Mandalay to meet the top leader of the Burmese people's axe, General Tuo Chung, the Burmese-style palace building, combined with modern architectural style, although the Burmese people's axe is not luxurious, but it is still very atmospheric.
It was he who commanded 100,000 troops to fight against the British and French forces in northern Burma, and finally blocked the attack of the British and French troops, and caused heavy losses to the British and French, with more than 40,000 British casualties alone.
Until the end of the war, the British still did not adapt to their own crazy war style, once the commander of the British army found out that the army launched a decisive charge, they would let the Indian soldiers go up, and the Indian soldiers would quickly retreat every time, so the result was that the black cauldron of defeat was carried by the Indians.
However, with the increasing number of colonial armies composed of Indians, the offensive of the Yue army finally fell into decline, China did not want Burma to fight a decisive battle in advance, stuck in the logistical support, and the Yue army was not willing to fight an early decisive battle with as many as 200,000 Indian cannon fodder and 100,000 British and French troops, so Burma finally achieved the division of the north and the south under the will of many parties. The Burmese people's political axe is Mandalay, and the Burmese Ming Cook political axe is Yangon, in order to flaunt the Ming Cook, the British resolutely supported the establishment of the political axe in southern Burma.
"I don't know what the gift Yamada is talking about, but I am curious."
Tuozhong usually likes to drink tea, and while drinking tea by himself, he pretended to be interested, and asked about the person in front of him who was already tired of seeing it, and secretly said, after many years, he is finally leaving.
Yamada Otozo smiled mysteriously, pushed the glasses under his military hat, and said mysteriously, "After the empire occupies Southeast Asia, there will be an urgent need for some loyal friends, and General Takutada is fully qualified for this." As an old friend, the only thing I can advise the general is to prepare enough troops, and after the victory in the war, the general will reap unimaginable benefits. ”
Holding back the unhappiness in his heart, after half an hour passed, Tuo Zhong finally sent away the supreme commander of the Burmese army, and three days later, the Burmese army will divide its troops into two routes, all the way south to attack the British and French coalition forces, harass and destroy the logistics supply lines of Britain and France, and go all the way to Thailand, solve a small number of British and French troops in Thailand, and approach the rear of Vietnam.
In response, the Anglo-French forces were forced to organize a large number of troops in the south, and a difficult battle was about to begin, but the army was full of confidence that after receiving the last oversupply of the Burmese people's axe, the combat operation would finally be launched. He believes that Thailand and southern Burma, which are not suitable for the deployment of heavy equipment, can just allow the imperial [***] team to exert its maximum combat power, and in their opinion, Vietnam seems to be in the bag.
100,000 troops participated in the Burma War for several years, paying nearly 40,000 casualties, in order to get this opportunity today to launch an offensive from this extremely advantageous position.
"Bang!"
After sending Yamada Otozo away, Tuozhong only felt a nameless fire in his heart, and threw a good jade Buddha statue on the table to the ground and smashed it, which made him feel better.
"General, General Guluo is here." A secretary carefully reported, looking at the smashed Buddha statue on the ground, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, the general has not been so angry for a long time.
"Let him in."
Thinking of this Guluo, Tuozhong's mood finally improved, when this Guluo joined his men, he was still a wandering Chinese young man in the mountains of northern Burma, who had read books, was very smart, fought several beautiful battles on the battlefield, and gradually grew into the first person under his command. In the previous joint operation against Burma, he had three generals under him, and he fought the most battles, and his performance was very good.
"General." Gu Luo walked in and gave a military salute, he always maintained an absolute obedience from his subordinates to his superiors. As Tuozhong's weight in Myanmar grew, the whole person became more difficult to figure out. But Guluo is one of the few generals who can touch his heart. And because of the identity of Chinese descendants, Guluo has been cultivated more by Tuozhong.
"I heard that you are sick and spent two days in the Central Hospital, are you feeling better now? Many doctors in our central hospital have gone to China for further study, so there should be no problem in treating minor diseases. Tuozhong asked with concern, three subordinates, two Chinese generals, and one Burmese general, he trusted this Guluo the most.
Guluo: "Yes General, my health is much better, and this illness is really like a dream. ”
"Dreaming? I think you're too worried about the army, and I've just ordered you to give you a few more days off. Tuo Zhong smiled, since the establishment of the Burmese people's political axe, he has changed a lot, his mood is invisible, killing impermanence, cold-blooded and ruthless, but with this subordinate, he has a strange feeling, he feels that he can let go of a little, like an ordinary person, with joy, anger and sorrow, instead of being high up and killing impermanence.
"Remember the holiday given by the general, I will definitely take it. I heard that the army was about to be pulled out, so I came to see the general. Gu Luo said gratefully, in the eyes of many people, Tuo Zhong is undoubtedly an iron-blooded leader, and anyone who dares to resist and betray him is an iron-blooded killing, but Gu Luo has a feeling that he has never been made clear to humanity, and his intuition tells him that Tuo Zhong is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as he seems on the surface.
He couldn't help but have the illusion that it would be nice if Tuozhong was a northerner. But fortunately, the relationship between the general and the North is very good.
"Yes, the army will start in three days, and the war will start again." Tuozhong's mood was a little heavy, and even Guluo didn't know what he was thinking.
"This is a good thing, the army has been on our territory for several years, although they dare not kill as arbitrarily as they did in China, but they have long been very dissatisfied with the people, and it is better to leave. They fought, and we had just the time to train more troops. Guro shook his head, and when he mentioned himself, he was extremely angry, and this feeling was very complicated, and it was not simply because he was a Burmese general.
"How's the recent shipment?" Tuozhong asked, this was what he cared about the most.
Hearing this, Guluo's mind quickly flashed the situation of the recent batches of goods, which was the project he was secretly responsible for, "Our goods have never had problems, and the sales volume is very large, and now the goods are smuggled to the beach through the trains of the China-Myanmar Railway and directly onto the ship." The British only checked the train for weapons and ammunition to support the southern partisans, and the rest turned a blind eye, and they did not want to completely anger the north at this time. ”
When the goods were sold, Guro's responsibilities were fulfilled, and he didn't know where the huge gold money went.
Tuozhong nodded with satisfaction, but mentioned a very important matter, "You instructed to go down and inform the dozen or so fixed big buyers that the goods in the future cannot be sold to people under the age of 15, and once we find out, immediately cut off the supply." ”
"General? This, this is likely to be opposed by them, and, in this way, in the end, it is we who will lose. "Gura didn't quite understand why the general would suddenly give this order.
"Execute the order, it's a dead order." Tuo Zhong said undoubtedly, and then talked about the second thing, "We have just imported a large number of equipment suitable for field warfare from the north, and when you are completely cured, we will immediately transfer elite troops to form a jungle field army, with you as the commander, and there will be some experts from the north to assist you in commanding the army for jungle field training." In addition, as part of the cooperation with the North, a large number of Jews will soon enter Myitkyina, and I have decided to designate it as a temporary ghetto, which is under the jurisdiction of your military district to assist the Jews in their temporary settlement. ”
"Yes, General." A hint of discoloration flashed imperceptibly in Gu Luo's eyes, he had imported equipment from the north, and he was going to train elite tropical jungle combat troops on a large scale, what did it mean, it was easy to think with his thinking, "Guarantee the completion of the mission, General." ”
As for the Jews, they were never in his consideration, and with the army in their hands, what kind of storm could the Jews stir up happened to help the north solve a big problem.
"Do a good job,"
Tuozhong was a little tired and waved his hand to signal that he could go.
Gu Luo walked out of the general's office building, looked up at the northern sky, and thought of the elite field jungle troops that were about to be trained by himself, he couldn't help but be full of confidence, and muttered to himself, "After many years of waiting, it's finally time to show your ambitions, I hope the time will be faster." ”
And his whole person has completely woken up from the strange dream incident of the past two days, although he himself is a person with a lot of secrets, but that inexplicable dream still makes him unable to understand, can only imagine it as an accident.
In that dream, there were many familiar northerner faces, and although none of them were clearly dressed to represent their identity, he seemed to hear familiar language. In the dream, he was finally injected with a drug.
As soon as Gu Luo left, Tuo Zhong was quiet again, recalling the secret conversation between the liaison and himself, he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
“…… He ordered that from this day onwards, it must no longer be sold to young people under the age of 15, whether they are Americans, Europeans, or Germans, and that they will no longer be sold......"
Thinking of the information about the imminent launch of a winter offensive in the north, he couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, saying that the army was gone, the north was coming, and the son finally came out.
"Maybe it's time to expand the army."
Tuozhong muttered to himself.
Han Jingshan, the base camp of the head of the republic, a special confidential secretary of the base camp knocked on the door and walked into Zhang Shusheng's office, "Chairman of the committee, the three targets have all been injected with medicine, and the target in Myanmar was the last to be injected, everything is normal, and after two days of routine observation in their respective hospitals, the plan has achieved initial success, and neither the person concerned nor the people around him have been aware of it." ”
"Hmm."
Zhang Shusheng nodded, but he was quite excited in his heart, the civilization plan codenamed Yanhuang Project had finally been launched.
Many nights, he asked himself whether to go with the flow, to fight for supremacy, or to use the dream machine at his disposal to achieve the greatest and most unimaginable ambitions.
Gradually, he finally figured out that if he went with the flow, it would be a waste of the rare opportunity for hundreds of millions of people. And if he only brings the entire republic into the iron-blooded struggle for hegemony, it will only shape an 'American-style China' a hundred years later, and at most turn the victor of World War II into China, so that China can take the opportunity of World War II to soar into the sky.
But he found that he wanted to do much more than that.
In this most difficult and difficult era, the greatest opportunity is not to defeat those Western powers and let China achieve an American-style rise, but to have these 40,000 people.
For 5,000 years, I dare to ask which era the people of today are united, mutually helpful, motivated, and selfless.
What era is there when people are like today's Chinese people, full of dreams, full of dedication, and full of strength?
There is a people who are ahead of the times, as they are today, who are actively working hard, honest and honest, and eager to change this worst and best era through their own efforts, so that the whole society has unprecedented efficiency.
No, never!!
Whether it is the ancient pre-Qin period, or the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties. Whether it is the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China in the original history, or the reform and opening up of New China a hundred years later, it has not reached today's height.
Perhaps, for most of the twentieth century, people also exerted their greatest enthusiasm and dedication to building this country and rejuvenating this nation, but what they followed could not lead them to achieve the greatest change and rejuvenation.
Zhang Shusheng understands very well that if he is in the next life, as a technician, and obtains a dream machine, he may be able to make a fortune, or he may be able to dominate the world, but what is the use?
The people are still selfish, the society is still cold-blooded, and the times are still full of money and decay, depravity and unscrupulousness. There is no comparison between a society full of diseases and a new republic as if all things were just awakening.
If in the future generations you will not find the most loyal followers, the most loyal people, the most dedicated workers and scholars...... And these are all available in this era, Zhang Shusheng doesn't want to live up to these compatriots, they are so rare, even once in thousands of years.
In this era, except that the material civilization and scientific level are temporarily not comparable with later generations, Zhang Shusheng believes that it is actually not worse than later generations.
And what is material civilization? Computers have appeared, and sooner or later they will trigger a computer revolution. What is the level of science? Give the republic fifty years, or even less, and he will have absolute confidence that the republic will reach the world level of future generations. It's 1941 now, and if there were fifty years, it's 1991, and he is even confident that he will surpass his own era in the future.
Time does not decide everything, nor does the morning or evening of the times determine everything, but it is the people, the social atmosphere, and the soul of the nation that really decide everything. Once these things are lost, once the people are in despair, once the social atmosphere is in a state of extreme corruption, once the soul of the nation is in the cowardly embarrassment of 'always expressing strong opposition,' it will be a disaster for civilization.
What Zhang Shusheng has to do is to grasp them to the greatest extent, control them, and realize the rejuvenation of the nation, instead of letting them die out, die, and die again in the national calamities again and again, and finally fall into decay, degeneration, dirtiness, and corruption...... Therefore, he launched the civilization plan, and the implementation of the Yanhuang plan will definitely speed up the process of civilization in the republic, and he is convinced of this.
World War II was just the beginning, and China wanted to take off in real terms.
After pressing the 'work' button, Zhang Shusheng's office entered the period of no disturbance, and the staff knew that it was absolutely forbidden to disturb, and even Lu Yunyan would not enter, nor could he enter. At this time, even if the most urgent thing happens, the chairman can only be contacted by phone, because this is the time for the chairman to study some scientific and technological issues.
Opening the door of the secret elevator, Zhang Shusheng came to the research center located deep underground, although it was not too big, but it was full of high-tech equipment, and only he could enter. After a complicated verification, Zhang Shusheng entered his office in the underground research room.
Remove the stealthily carried dream machine from the neck, after a certain upgrade, the dream machine is too convenient to carry and hide, Zhang Shusheng also found that in addition to the dream machine has super high intelligence and unknown assessment means, it has an extremely miniature space door, which can make itself according to the energy points of the dream machine's price, that is, dream points, exchange the things you need.
For example, the Brain Domain Development Elixir is something that can be exchanged after the Dream Machine National System is opened. Originally, he planned to use these huge dream points obtained because of the opening of the national system to exchange them for something that made him greedy to the limit after completing the national civilization task in the future.
However, when the development speed of the republic is getting faster and faster, and when the rapidly developing republic has been exchanged for many dream points (energy points), Zhang Shusheng finally couldn't help it, and began to exchange these brain domain development potions that can affect the process of civilization, the Chinese nation really needs those few, or a dozen, or more top scientists in the future, at least, in the first-level civilization, can be ranked top scientists.
Although that exclusive exchange item made him envious to the boundless, for the development of the entire republic, for the development of the Chinese nation, taking into account the existing growth rate of points, and in the future, it is foreseeable that after China fully participated in World War II, through the crazy expansion of the territory, the growth rate of points brought about will be terrifying, Zhang Shusheng decided to exchange some primary brain domain development potions to implement the national elite plan.
Undoubtedly, the exchange of these potions will consume a considerable part of the points, but Zhang Shusheng believes that it is worth it, although the equipment, drawings, and scientific and technological materials are worth exchanging, but as the root of everything, people are the most worthy of improvement. In order to encourage Zhang Shusheng to continue to grow and develop, the Dream Machine has not provided a large number of machines or weapons to exchange. In other words, Zhang Shusheng can be exchanged for a mother machine and a precision equipment, but he cannot exchange for hundreds of thousands of guns or tens of thousands of machine tools. The Dream Machine can only help, but the real evolution of civilization needs to be completed by Zhang Shusheng himself.
"Dreamer, did you find what I wanted?"
Zhang Shusheng is really distressed about the dream points of exchanging potions, you know, he has not exchanged them before, on the contrary, in order to improve the intellectual development level of his most secret part of the researchers, he has also exchanged some similar potions before, but they are all very expensive.
As for the medicine he eats, there is nowhere to redeem it, it is completely a reward for the dream machine upgrade system, according to Zhang Shusheng's estimate, those two or three types of medicine, even if they are placed in the universe, are estimated to be extremely rare. After taking it, how much progress Zhang Shusheng has made, only he knows it, at least in terms of science and technology, he is the absolute god-level figure of the earth at present, and many materials originally needed the help of the little boy to analyze, but now Zhang Shusheng can analyze it by himself and send it to the research center below.
He told the little kid in the morning and asked him to check it for himself, to see if there was a synthetic material table for the primary brain domain development potion in the Dream Machine's inventory, if there was a synthetic material table, after finding the material or alternative materials, he could use the synthesis function of the Dream Machine to synthesize, so that the cost would be much lower than directly reluctantly exchanging it. The 20 potions he had exchanged so far had already made him want to vomit blood, and he didn't know how many of these 20 people would be able to become talented in many years, it was a complete gamble.
"Found it. The list of synthetics is available. The little kid pushed the big black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said in a milky voice, "But you need twice as many points as the treasure you've always wanted to redeem when you have enough points." I simply say, there are not enough points. ”
After getting this result, Zhang Shusheng was not too disappointed, things can only be like this, then wait patiently, there will always be enough points to exchange yourself for enough brain domain development potion.
Perhaps, when the winter offensive is launched, there will be another big increase in points, Zhang Shusheng thought of the series of preparations he had made in Myanmar, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
As soon as he left the underground research room, returned to the office, and canceled the red light at work, Zhang Shusheng received a report.
"Chairman, the helicopter project has made great progress, and the research institute in Guangxi has called, hoping to get your personal instructions."
Hearing Mao Yunxian's report, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but laugh secretly, he participated in a lot of these major scientific and technological projects of the Republic at the beginning, especially in the earliest period, and he brought out the project leaders one by one.
After the results of these people's results, their greatest wish is not to receive commendations, but to hope that the chairman of the committee will take a look at them again and hope to hear the chairman's face-to-face approval.
"You arrange, take a break in the next few days, and I'll go to Guangxi."
Zhang Shusheng is in a good mood, every major scientific and technological achievement means that the Republic has occupied another place in the world's scientific and technological forest.
