Chapter 147: My Territory

On the last day of 42 years, the news that "the Burmese Japanese army has withdrawn" has been covered by thunder spread all over the country in the form of clear code, and on this day, the last Burmese Japanese army has also boarded the Japanese ship heading for Guangzhou. Chiang Kai-shek, who had already learned the news from Rowling, sat firmly in the villa on the south bank, but the CCP and the Jin Sui Army and various anti-Japanese factions in the country were in a falling out.

"Zhao Zhi, what are you going to do? Why did the Japanese army leave Burma? "A question filled everyone's minds, the Japanese army withdrew so resolutely and quickly, to say that there is nothing greasy between the Thunder and the Burmese Japanese army, no one will believe it. But what if you don't believe it, they don't have evidence of Thunder's collusion with the Japanese army, and Zhao Zhi's temper is not very good, if one accidentally annoys Zhao Zhi, Thunder's plane will fly over and drop a few bombs.

The telegrams from various forces to inquire about the news flew to Myanmar like snowflakes, and Luo Ying had to clean a large box every day, and Tang Lei even jokingly said that he could use these telegrams to make a meal. As the protagonist of this incident, Zhao Zhi did not pay attention to the speculation of all parties, in the face of a large number of weapons and equipment left by the Burmese Japanese army, what Zhao Zhi has to do now is to form a Burmese mercenary force to restore the production of the Ringanqiang oil field in the shortest possible time, and the troops of Thunder can not do without the supply of oil.

"Sir, General Hpakant of the Burmese guerrillas is here, saying that he has to see you" Early in the morning, Zhao Zhi was blocked in his temporary residence by Hpakant, who was in charge of communication, Luo Ying, who was in charge of communication, pouted, the Burmese man named Hpakant was a little difficult, the retreat of the Japanese army made the so-called Burmese guerrilla army greatly strengthened, and many of the Burmese natives who were bullied by the Japanese army joined the Burmese guerrilla army, and Hpakant's this is the most powerful force in the guerrilla army, the Japanese army is gone, he is looking for Zhao Zhi to ask for benefits.

Hpakant, who was in the prime of life, looked a little impatient, and the victory of the Thunder and the retreat of the Japanese army caused the Burmese guerrillas from all walks of life to begin to concentrate on Yangon, for no other reason than because the temporary headquarters of the Thunder was here. There are more than 10,000 mercenaries of the Hpakant guerrilla army active in western Burma, and the British-educated Hpakant is quite ambitious, he wants to establish a country where the Burmese themselves have the final say, and the thunder that successfully forced the Japanese army to retreat has become a stumbling block to his ideal, so the purpose of his trip is to remove the stumbling block of thunder.

"General Hpakant, please sit" Hpakant, who was dressed in Burmese clothes, stretched out his right hand to Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi, who was leaning on the sofa and looking at his cigar, didn't even save the action of getting up to greet him, but just motioned to Hpakant to find a place to do it by himself with his eyes. What a dismount, the fierceness in Pa Kang's eyes flashed, there are Zhao Zhi's people everywhere, even if Pa Dang is dissatisfied with Zhao Zhi, he doesn't dare to turn his face with Zhao Zhi here, who would think that his life is long.

"My adjutant said that General Pakang is looking for me? Let's talk about it" Zhao Zhi's laziness deeply stung Pa Kang, but he still tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, there is a saying in China, it is good that those who achieve great things need to be patient. In the face of Zhao Zhi's active questioning, Pa Kang, who had been playing the drum in his heart, suddenly became a little speechless, and forgot all the words he had thought of, and he didn't know what to say.

"General Zhao, the Japanese army that invaded Burma has all been evacuated, and the most important thing at the moment is to resume farming as soon as possible to pacify the people, but your army is constantly recruiting indigenous young people into the army, and there are only old and weak women and children left in many villages, you have taken all the young and strong away, what about those women, children and old people? If you don't have enough food, you will die" Pa Dang put himself in the position of the savior, as if the Burmese people after the war were his people, and his words to Zhao Zhi naturally carried a bit of anger and accusation.

"General Hpakant, you are also a person who fought with the Japanese army, do you think the Japanese army will really give up Burma?" Zhao Zhi, who was a little smiling, couldn't help but ask, "The Japanese army's withdrawal is only temporary, once their offensive in Asia is eased, Burma will still be their target, maybe there will be more Japanese troops coming next time than this time." If we don't take this opportunity to form more troops, what will we do to hold Burma? By your guerrillas? I don't think so."

Pa Kang just wanted to say Isn't there still your thunder, but was pushed back by Zhao Zhi's words, "The casualties of my troops are not small, the soldiers need to rest, and they will not fight with the Japanese army within 2 years" Zhao Zhi's reaction was like a basin of cold water poured a cold on Pa Kang's heart, and after a long time, Thunder was not the backing he had relied on, and depending on Zhao Zhi's meaning, Thunder would not leave Myanmar for a while and a half, and his plan was about to fail.

"It just so happens that I have something to look for you too" Zhao Zhi, who got up from the sofa, called Pa Kang to the side of the map, "Most of my thunderbolts belong to mechanized troops, as long as there is a road, my troops can arrive." The Japanese are now withdrawn, but there is no guarantee that they will not come again, so we need to repair and widen the roads in Burma."

The red pen in Zhao Zhi's hand drew a curve on the map, "I need to widen the highway connecting Mandalay and Ringanqiang, and it is best to build a railway that connects with Mandalay's railway" The meaning of Zhao Zhi's words has been revealed at this time, the road is built for the oil of Ringanqiang, whether it is a road or a railway, it is to provide convenience for the transportation of oil in Thunder. Pa Dang wanted to refuse Zhao Zhi, but Zhao Zhi was staring at him with fierce eyes, and Pa Dang, whose legs were weak, did not have the courage to challenge Zhao Zhi in person.

"You're a local, so you'll be in charge of gathering people to build roads, and you have to complete the widening of the roads and the construction of the railroad before the rainy season begins in May. The food we have hoarded in Mandalay is enough for 100,000 people to eat for three months, and if it is not enough, we can continue to transport grain from China until the road construction is completed" Zhao Zhi reached out and patted Phakant's shoulder, the chill in his eyes made Phakant's hands and feet weak, and only Phakant himself could understand the meaning of this.

Zhao Zhi's tone at this time is no longer the tone he had when he first saw Pa Kang, and now Zhao Zhi is no different from those Japanese soldiers who occupied Burma, and even the coldness in his words made him more afraid than the Japanese officers Pa Kang had seen. Pa Kang doubted that if he said no to Zhao Zhi, he would be killed by Zhao Zhi immediately, and the kid who brought him in had been sitting in the corner and wiping his gun, and after weighing the pros and cons, Pa Kang finally agreed to summon the people to repair the road.

"Sir, why do you have to speak so politely to this Burmese? It doesn't matter if he doesn't agree, there are more Burmese people rushing to do things for us, so why not change to an obedient one? Sending away the frightened Pa Kang, Luo Ying, who watched a good show, was a little puzzled by Zhao Zhi's style just now. Luo Ying, who had learned from the mercenaries, only listened to Zhao Zhi's words, except for a few people close to him, this kid couldn't see anyone, and the kowtow-like Pa Kang was even more unbearable.

"You know what? Make me a cup of tea" Zhao Zhi waved his hand and drove Luo Ying, who was full of anger, to make tea. "We only have tens of thousands of troops in Burma, but there are more than a million Burmese here, if we can't control these Burmese guerrillas well, then what's the point of us forcing the Japanese army to withdraw. Only by constantly looking for things to do for the Burmese guerrillas will they have no time to be our enemy, so why should they use guns and guns to solve things that can be solved with food."

Luo Ying only knew a little about Zhao Zhi's words, but he knew that his husband naturally had a reason for doing this. On the day that Phra Dang came to see Zhao Zhi, the commanders of various Burmese guerrilla armies rushed to Yangon one after another, and Zhao Zhi also met with them. In the face of the commanders of the various Burmese guerrillas who had their own ghosts, Zhao Zhi threw money and made a wish, but the commanders who happily left Zhao Zhi's residence took over more or less road construction tasks.

Rowling's think tank has drawn up a blueprint for Zhao Zhi's future development in Myanmar, and the most important of this blueprint is the road transportation network. Myanmar has a seaport, minerals, and oil, but its road traffic is too poor, and many places are muddy in the rainy season, since the thunder drove away the Japanese army and wants to operate here, it is necessary to lay a good foundation first, and the establishment of a perfect road transportation network is the top priority, and it is also what Zhao Zhi must do.

Britain has too many overseas colonies, Germany is not rare this projectile Burma, but Zhao Zhi is rare, Hitler, who pushed the boat along the river, simply gave Burma as a gift to Zhao Zhi, on the premise that Zhao Zhi himself could hold this place and not be robbed by the Japanese. The Myanmar ownership document from Buckingham Palace has departed from the United Kingdom, and once this document signed by the British royal family is in hand, Zhao Zhi will become the first foreign duke in British history, and his fief is Burma, a hereditary fief.

In order to have a piece of land where he can be the master, Zhao Zhi fought hard for four years in this era of chaos, including Luo Lin, who didn't know Zhao Zhi's thoughts, and achieved his goal step by step, which made Zhao Zhi's heart feel somewhat satisfied. When the Japanese army began to withdraw Zhao Zhi and told Rowling his thoughts, Rowling, who couldn't stop laughing, laughed and said that Zhao Zhi's circle was too big, and he directly agreed to the Junker title presented by Hitler, which might have been sitting and drinking coffee in a castle in the Alps.

But Zhao Zhi doesn't think so, Myanmar's geographical location is destined to its limitations, but at the same time, it also provides Zhao Zhi with enough security, Myanmar has an excellent seaport, surrounded by small countries such as Thailand and Laos, such a region is more suitable for the development of Myanmar, at least there is no need to guard against aggression from neighboring countries. I believe that with Zhao Zhi's own plan and the support of the Rockman family, it will not take a few years for Thunder to run Myanmar into a rich place.
