The Yunnan-Burma Highway was built during the Anti-Japanese War, which lasted one year, mobilized 200,000 laborers, mainly the old and weak, women and children, and the China-Burma Highway that Wang Feng wanted to build was actually much shorter.

The difficulty of building the China-Myanmar highway is not the lack of engineering equipment, the Yunnan-Burma highway built nearly a hundred years later is also a road built by hand, the real difficulty lies in the construction of several bridges, fortunately, among the first batch of children to study in the United States, a considerable part of the major subjects are engineering bridges, calculate the time, on the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is time to come back, and you can immediately put into construction.

Considering the actual difference in the level of science and technology over the past hundred years, Wang Feng will invest more manpower and material resources.

Shi Dakai and Zhou Xiuying naturally did not know the difficulties of building the China-Burma Highway, but they all knew very well in their hearts that Myanmar had in fact died and had become a geographical term.

Wang Feng was nothing more than putting the British pot on Burma's head and finding an excuse to send troops, and his words exposed his thoughts: I have been staring at Burma for a long time!

Through Wang Feng's intermittent introduction in the past two or three years, it can be learned that the plain area of Myanmar is larger than the Red River Delta in Cochin, which can feed more people, and the mountainous areas on the border between China and Myanmar contain rich mineral resources, which is another treasure trove!

And the annexation of Burma can also be a soldier to India, judging from the understanding of Wang Feng, this person has no ambition to annex India, but he has always put helping India gain independence in his heart. The NLD could use Burma as a base to march into India to fight the British and advance India's national liberation movement.

Totally conceivable. Once the China-Myanmar highway is repaired and the Democratic Alliance forces cross the mountains, it will inevitably reproduce the bloody massacre process in Vietnam, and the reason why Myanmar can be independent from China is that the mountains on the Sino-Burmese border are used as natural barriers, and if the barrier is gone, the Burmese people have no other choice but to destroy the country and exterminate the species.

But for the extraterrestrial barbarians. Indoctrination is just a good wish, and the Burmese are real barbarians, unlike the southern minorities such as Miao Dong Yao. The ethnic minorities in southern China are actually the mixed descendants of the Jiuli descendants who migrated from the Yellow River Valley thousands of years ago and the local natives, although there are gradually differences between the culture and the Central Plains, but in terms of blood, they are native Chinese. Even their blood is purer than that of the northern Chinese. This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Feng does his best to help the ethnic minorities in the south.

Compared with the Chinese, changing the cage for a bird is the best way to change the cage for a bird, and it is still in the era of great powers competing for hegemony, and has not established a set of effective international order, so Wang Feng must take advantage of the growing national strength, seize this opportunity, and annex small countries as much as possible, he knows very well. A stable international order will finally be established, and then. If you want to annex other countries, you will face moral pressure and a strong backlash from the international community!

In short, Wang Feng's calculation is that he can fish as much as he can, just like Russia, he has fished so much land, many of which are uninhabited for thousands of miles, but in modern society, this has become Russia's legal territory.

Wang Feng raised his glass and said: "Everyone, when the Miao mountain troops go to Yunnan and Guizhou, I will send the data map of the China-Burma Highway over, according to my estimates, if 500,000 people are mobilized, it will be enough to build within three or five years, and all the materials and money will be borne by our Democratic Alliance Army, now, I wish our mountain army can make great achievements in the battle against Burma, come, cheers!" ”

"!" The Miao people saw the strange light and drank it all one after another.

Burma they know, it is a weak country, if it were not for the hindrance of the mountains, I am afraid that the army of the Central Plains Dynasty would have already driven over, and now Wang Feng first built the road, and then marched, which is obviously a right move.

From the next day, accompanied by Shi Liubao, Li Laosheng and other high-level Miao villages, Wang Feng and his party went deep into the mountains of Xiangxi and visited the Miao villages and the villages of the Lika nationality, which is a branch of the Tujia family in modern society.

Everywhere he went, Wang Feng expounded the policy and was warmly welcomed, and it took another month and a half to recruit more than 8,000 Miao and Lika soldiers, and on this basis, the 48th Mountain Independent Division of the Democratic Alliance Army was established, which was specifically responsible for mountain operations, with Li Laosheng as the division commander, and nearly 100 people from the Democratic Alliance Army were sent to serve as deputy division commanders, division chief of staff, deputy brigade commanders, brigade chief of staff, and regimental and battalion-level officers for training, and were temporarily assigned to the Fifth Group Army under the command of Lin Fengxiang.

By the beginning of November, a group of hundreds of people sent by Baoshan came to Fenghuang to carry out poverty alleviation work according to the actual local situation, and promised to help Sangzhi, Longshan, Yongshun and other counties in Xiangxi and the rich counties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to form brotherly and friendly cities, and at the same time, a group of 1,000 teachers sent by Changsha also came to Xiangxi to go deep into the villages to teach the villagers to read and write, and Wang Feng, in the name of the premier of the Government Council, further ordered that grassroots public servants come to the poor areas to exercise, develop local resources, and help the local people get rid of poverty. The term is three years, with priority in future allocations.

The so-called marginal and poor areas are areas inhabited by ethnic minorities, border areas and poor areas.

Of course, Wang Feng's focus was still on the training of the mountain division, until May of the following year, suddenly Lanfang came to Singapore with the news that there were a large number of warships from European powers such as Britain, Portugal and Spain, so Wang Feng handed over the road map of the China-Burma Highway to Li Laosheng, and ordered the 48th Division to be stationed on the Hunan and Guizhou borders, and waited for Lin Fengxiang's dispatch, Li Xiucheng's troops were stationed in Jiangxi and Hunan, and Shi Dakai led the soldiers of the Second Army who had not yet retreated back to the garrison. Return to Jiangnan as fast as possible.

On the way, there are all kinds of information, such as the Qing Army's Eight Banners in Jinan and Dezhou in large quantities, and the remnants of the Huai Army and the Hunan Army are also frequently changing during this time, which all indicate that a super-large-scale battle is about to break out.

The larger the battle, the longer the preparation time, and the Qing court's limited mobilization capacity made Wang Feng not worried, because from the beginning, he had the intention of annihilating the Qing army's living forces through several decisive battles, and by mid-June, Wang Feng had returned to Suzhou!

In the Government Affairs Yuan, Hong Xuanjiao, Lu Dayou, Ding Daquan, Wang Youling, Sheng Xuanhuai, and Zhang Wanchang and other high-level military and political leaders are all there.

"The situation is quite serious right now!" As soon as she saw Wang Feng, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't wait to say: "According to the latest information, the battalions of the Qing court in the capital and the Seng Lingqin Department stationed in Jinan and Dezhou for a long time have a total strength of nearly 200,000, and the remnants of the Huai Army and the Hunan Army also have about 200,000 troops. ”

"Hmm!" Sheng Xuanhuai nodded and said: "This is the last counterattack of the Qing court, if this battle is defeated, the banner people will lose their right to rule over China, and they will be exterminated, so it will definitely not collapse at the touch of a touch as before, and there is also the training of foreigners in the past few years, there are always some results." ”

Wang Feng didn't speak, and looked at the large map hanging on the wall, on which several important locations of the Qing army were marked in red circles, after all, the terrain in the north was flat, and it was difficult for the large army to hide their whereabouts.

In modern warfare, due to the extensive use of long-range weapons, many ancient tactics have also died out, such as surprise attacks, when the two armies are in the middle of a fierce battle, they suddenly rush out of a cavalry, which can completely determine the success or failure of victory in the era of cold weapons, and in the era of hot weapons, not only the effect is extremely limited, but also a great risk.

Generally speaking, the purpose of concealing troops is to surprise the attack, but the surprise attack is difficult to achieve, so it is necessary to spend additional costs to hide the troops.

The Huai Army's Hunan Army was to build three attack points in Bozhou, Fuyang and Xinyang, these two armies occupied the upper reaches, and could threaten the middle and lower reaches of the Huai River and even a large area in Jiangbei, while the Eight Banners were stationed in Jinan, Tai'an and Jining, and the troops were directed at northern Jiangsu, so it is not difficult to see that the first strategic intention of the Qing army was to break the Democratic Alliance in Jiangbei.

As for whether the second and third steps are there, it first depends on whether the intention of the first step is achieved.

Wang Feng squinted his brows and thought for a while, then asked, "Brother Yingjiu, what do you think?" ”

Wang Youling was the prefect of Hangzhou before defecting to Wang Feng, and the prefect of the Qing Dynasty had the power to lead the green battalion to fight, and he was not ignorant of military affairs.

Wang Youling muttered: "The Qing court with 400,000 troops to press the border, in Jingxiang, Shaanxi and Gansu may have backup, obviously desperate, at first glance, menacing, but as long as our army does not take the initiative to attack, relying on the traffic arteries and important cities to build a position defense line, I expect that the Qing army will be helpless, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult the situation of the Qing army will be, because we have a vast rear, weapons and materials can be continuously transported to the front line, and the Qing court has no production capacity, the guns and artillery he uses are obtained from foreigners, In the event of a battle loss, it will be difficult to replenish it in a short period of time, so in my opinion, the commander-in-chief should stand still and wait for changes, and delay him for a few months, and the situation will inevitably gradually develop in a direction favorable to our side, and then the opportunity for a decisive battle will come. ”

Wang Youling's analysis is like peeling off the cocoon, clear and clear, Hong Xuanjiao couldn't help but praise: "What Vice Premier Wang said is very true, in the end, ginger is still old and spicy!" ”

"Deputy Commander Hong has won the award!" Wang Youling Qian shook his head, and said: "Compared with the army, the navy is our weak link, according to the news from Lan Fang, at present, there are more than 50 multinational warships gathered in Singapore, this is still not including transport merchant ships, and our navy has just started, in terms of strength, it is far inferior to the European powers, although all the battle losses under the hard fight have no substantial impact on the land war situation, but this is always our hard work in the past few years, and it is unbearable to ruin."

Therefore, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the foreign coalition forces are still being assembled, and order the ships of the East China Sea and South China Sea fleets to sail back to the Yangtze River to evade, and only use batteries to resist the enemy, so that the losses may be minimized.
