Burma, 200 kilometers north of the capital Mandalay, there is a small county called Moro, General Tuo Zhong led the Burmese people to drive out the British, after obtaining the reading power of Burma, the division of administrative areas was completely copied from the Chinese system, but in terms of centralization, it was not completely copied.

It is now November, the rainy season in Myanmar has passed, and the jungles of Southeast Asia in winter are not as cold and ice as the Far East, with little rain and good climatic conditions, which is very convenient for winter warfare.

"Didi ......"

On a simple road in Tian'an Town, Moluo County, a camouflage hanging bucket small army truck was loaded with more than a dozen bags of supplies, and there were three soldiers sitting on the material bag, two sitting in front, one of whom was an officer.

There are also some cash crops such as winter melons in the fields on both sides, and although the watermelon fields that can be seen everywhere south of Mandalay are not seen here, the crops in the fields are still abundant, and the crops are very rich, which are the new crops from China that the soldiers have seen in Mandalay.

From time to time, there were villagers passing by with oxen on the side of the road, looking at the military card that had gone away, with some envy in their simple eyes. These soldiers who returned home were always able to bring home many trophies distributed by the troops as a reward for their exploits.

The soldiers on the small army card point to the crops in the fields from time to time and laugh, but they speak Chinese, and it is a relatively standard Mandarin, but they are real Burmese.

"The year we left, it was all wasteland, and there were no crops, all of them came from China in the past few years."

The three soldiers talked loudly, looking at everything in front of them that felt new and strange, they had been away from their homeland for many years, but they had not been home for several years due to poor transportation in Burma, the constant tension on the front line, and the heavy training tasks in peacetime.

"The general did not lie to us, and China did not lie to us."

The officer in the driver's seat, named Wen Jueran, was working vigorously in the fields of oily crops, and the peasants in the fields were working energetically, and he could see some children running around in the fields in much better clothes than when he left, and several cows could be seen in the fields as far as he could see, and when he left, he clearly remembered that the fields were all pulled by people.

You can see a lot of new houses in the mountains and forests, most of them are wooden houses with tiles, and a few of them actually have brick houses and stone wall houses.

It seems that the economy of my hometown has indeed developed very rapidly in recent years.

Wen Jueran is already a regiment commander of the Burmese People's Army, and this time the troops were reorganized and reorganized, just near their hometown, and their group of people were uniformly given vacations. The driver and the three people behind him were all his fellow villagers who were taken out to join the Burmese People's Army that year.

At that time, I was so hungry that I couldn't eat, and I heard that the People's Army was full, so I followed, and as a result, not only was I full, but also made a lot of military exploits, not to mention the military salary for ten years, just going home and receiving some war materials, it was enough to make others envy for a long time.

The only two shortcomings are that I haven't been home for ten years. In addition, at that time, there were more than 20 people who went to join the army, and now, even if you count those who did not return from the army, there are only eight, half of them died on the battlefield, and three are disabled, and they have received pensions early and returned to their hometowns.

However, for those comrades-in-arms, although Wen Jueran was very nostalgic, he didn't feel too sad, back then, if he didn't go out to be a soldier, I was afraid that half of them would die, those who died of hunger, those who died of illness, those who died of poverty, and those who died early in poverty.

And because he went to be a soldier, his family has been living well on military pay over the years, and he also sent back the spoils exchanged for two war exploits, and the family should have a good life. The spoils of war this time, he took a good look at it, the Chinese division commander said well, return to the hometown with wealth, just a little thing.

In ten years, he has not only made many military exploits and been promoted to regiment commander, but also speaks fluent Mandarin, which has won the trust of the division commander. Seven or eight years ago, Mandarin Chinese was taught in the army, and under the example of General Tuo Zhong and General Luo Chengjun from China, everyone's interest in learning Chinese was particularly high. In the words of the two generals, learn Chinese well to become a new Chinese, learn knowledge well to become a modern soldier.

"Juewen, drive a little more steadily, don't hit people, this is not a battlefield." Wen Jueran turned his head to look at the driver, who was also his driver and guard in the regiment.

"Yes, Captain." Jue Wen said without any hesitation, although, it was definitely his own cousin.

Most of the Burmese people have no surname, but after arriving in the army, with the increasing number of Chinese and Chinese instructors, Chinese culture is more and more respected, and many people even have Chinese surnames.

"Commander, do you think the people in the village will be very happy to know that we are back?" Jue Wen asked.

"Of course they will be happy, your father and mother haven't seen you for ten years, of course they will be happy, and there are so many loot that can make their lives better."

Wen Jueran said and said, and couldn't help but think of his younger brother who stayed at home back then, his younger brother was only ten years old that year, and he couldn't reach the age of joining the army, and he had to stay to take care of his parents.

But he believes that his younger brother should be doing well, because General Tuochung liberated Burma, and the Chinese not only provided great support, but also gave huge assistance, not only in terms of food and clothing, but also in teaching Burmese new skills in production and labor. In the last letter, my father, who asked someone to write the letter, said that there was a team of Han Chinese from China in the village, who taught everyone to farm the land, plant new crops, and engage in scientific planting.

Wen Jueran also knew that yesterday General Tuozhong had announced his accession to China, and after the order personally signed by Chairman Zhang Shusheng, the supreme head of the Central Political Axe, Southeast Asia, including Burma, had obtained the political status of Southeast Asian provinces, and in the future, they would become members of the great Chinese nation and could be regarded as new Chinese.

A series of more in-depth Chinese-style reforms will be carried out further.

Since joining the army, the food and clothing of the troops are all from China, and the guns and ammunition he later produced were also because of the factories built with the help of the Chinese.

In the past, the Chinese not only helped liberate Burma, but also solved a series of problems such as food, clothing, and housing, and the vast majority of Burmese soldiers and intellectuals, including Wen Jueran, realized that only by thoroughly joining China could they go further.

From time to time, Xiaojunka came to the entrance of the village.

"Coming, coming......"

The entrance of the village was already crowded with people, and hundreds of people gathered there, looking at the military trucks driving on the road in the distance. They were waiting here early in the morning.

As soon as the military card arrived, the crowd was in an uproar, most of which were the voices of children calling relatives and friends.

"Father, Mother......"

Wen Jueran recognized the two old men with gray hair at a glance, weren't they his parents, they were old, obviously too old, they didn't return home for ten years, and they were ten years old. After ten years in the jungle, this is the first time I have returned home.

"Big brother!!"

On the side, a young man in his early twenties shouted happily, but it was his younger brother, who already had a gentle name and was an adult.

"Brother!"

The two brothers hugged each other with tears in their eyes, and their parents watched happily.

"Big brother, you call me Wen Lang, I heard that after you took the surname Wen, we also reported the surname Wen to the political axe. Now I also have a Chinese name, I have taken a Chinese class, and I can speak simple Chinese. ”

It turned out that the local Sinicization campaign has not stopped, in addition to Han schools, in view of the special situation of local surnames in Myanmar, the team from China has also vigorously promoted Chinese surnames. Anyone who voluntarily takes a Han name can receive 2 yuan, enough to buy a large bag of rice, and the locals naturally flock to it, and they have a good feeling for the Chinese.

"You're grown up, go, move your stuff home."

Seeing that several other brothers were also reuniting with their families, Wen Jueran was overjoyed, and found a few relatives and friends to carry the bags of loot that belonged to him home.

"Big brother, what is this?" Wen Lang asked curiously, he knew that this was the trophy of the eldest brother, and there were several disabled veterans in the village who came back in the early years.

"TV, I got a different TV and came back, haha." Wen Jueran said happily. He knew that in the future, there will be more radio and television sets in the village, according to the general's radio speech within the army, in order to celebrate the establishment of the Southeast Asian provinces, the central political axe will purchase a large number of television sets to send to northern Myanmar, because the electricity here is all pulled from Yunnan and other regions, and it will be powered soon, when he entered the village, he saw that someone was laying electric wire piles, the villagers may not understand, but he knows that with this thing, the TV can be used, and the villagers can feel more in the future. The affluent and modern life of northern China felt the policies and teachings from the central government. Although he knew that the reason why the central government vigorously promoted radio and television into northern Myanmar was to quickly assimilate the Burmese people, he did not feel terrible, but looked forward to it. A new life is about to come in full swing, and the Burmese People's Army has been fighting for 20 years, isn't it just for a better life. The British were colonial, while China incorporated itself into the big family and treated the world as a first-class citizen.

"Report Platoon Commander!! xxx reports to you. ”

At this moment, the neat people of the three stations reported loudly on the side, the familiar password sound, the results of the full set of militarized training from the Chinese.

"Brothers, see you again." Wen Jueran turned around, but he was a disabled wounded soldier who had returned to his hometown a few years earlier, so he was naturally not excited. They are also old, and although they are disabled, they obviously do farm work on a regular basis.

"The battalion commander still remembers you, he has become the division commander, it was he who granted me leave, and asked me to bring gifts to all of you. He thanked you for your efforts for the liberation of Burma. ”

Wen Jueran said as he shook their hands. A few people naturally exchanged pleasantries for a while.

In the middle of the sound, Wen Jueran jumped on a stone at the entrance of the village and shouted loudly: "Folks, tell everyone good news." Our beloved General Tuozhong has announced his official accession to China in Mandalay. Comrade Zhang Shusheng, head of state of China, personally signed an order to establish a province in Southeast Asia, and after that, we will be new Chinese. ”

As soon as this news came out, the scene immediately became excited, and the matter of joining China, the local political axe established in accordance with the Chinese model in the early years had already done publicity, and the villagers had only heard the official news now.

In the village, Wen Jueran stayed for three days.

During these three days, he felt a great change in his hometown.

The mode of production and social model in the rural areas is exactly the same as what was said in the broadcast, and it is completely carried out according to the Chinese model.

China's political work teams have entered all levels of political axes and have gone down to the villages, where there is a three-member Chinese task force. Now, of course, the former Burmese political axe will become a thing of the past, and everyone is a new Chinese.

The title of the political axe of Myanmar is gone, and it will become the title of a regional surname, becoming a Burmese district under the provinces of Southeast Asia.

Life in the village is similar to that in Yunnan and other places, as described on the radio, with seeds and groceries from China entering the village's grocery store, and the Chinese team not only teaches you how to plant new crops and seeds, but also guides you in all aspects of life.

A radio station will soon be built in the village, and the television signal will also cover this area, and thanks to the construction of a large signal relay center in the former China-Myanmar border area, the TV station here will be able to receive dozens of TV stations in China in the future.

At home, Wen Jueran went to the home of each of his fallen brothers, gave an extra sum of money, and brought a lot of gifts.

The two elderly people in the family were also very satisfied, but they were a little dissatisfied with Wen Jueran's daughter-in-law, who taught high school in Mandalay, and couldn't go home.

When he left the village, Wen Jueran had only one feeling: life here was very similar to the Chinese-style superior life described in the newspapers and on the radio.

The earth-shaking upheaval and the great improvement in life are all because China is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and he is very happy to see that all Burmese people will be Chinese in the future.

"Folks, under the command of General Zheng Zhinan and under the leadership of the Central Political Axe, we will concentrate the strength of the people of Burma to defeat the American and British invaders. As a representative of the military in the village, I will use the victory as a gift for the next time I go home. ”

This was Wen Jueran's oath when he left home, and when he left, he not only took Wen Lang with him, but also took away a dozen or so other young people, crowded with small military cards.

His destination is to go to Moro to participate in the reorganization, his field unit, the entire division of troops will be integrated into the jungle field force sequence under the Southeast Asian Front under the command of General Zheng Zhinan, and then drive to the Burma-India border, ready to fight a big battle with Britain and the United States in the jungle.
