On January 3, 1946, on the first day of the lunar month, Zhang Shusheng secretly boarded a military transport plane to Ruili, and then transferred in Ruili, went straight to Mandalay, and began a wartime inspection of Burma.

This inspection was very secretive, except for Su Yuren, other high-ranking officials of the Republic only learned about this inspection at the end, and only Luo Feng, director of the Intelligence Department, knew about the specific itinerary.

Whether it was before the time or in this era, Zhang Shusheng's impression of Myanmar and even the whole of Southeast Asia is poor and backward, the terrain is mountainous, located in the subtropics, and he is looking forward to inspecting the new land in northern Southeast Asia.

As a man, of course, I have to do those impassioned big things when I live again. It is his dream to realize his personal ambitions, to realize the rise of the whole nation, and to lay a foundation for the whole nation by taking the lead by himself, so that the whole nation can better multiply and develop to a higher civilization faster.

Before the crossing, he liked a passage on the Internet.

The ruins of Tokyo worship the ancestors, and Fuso is all annihilated! Drink on the side of the Amazon River, in front of the Goddess of Liberty, the blood-stained Ganges River is Yinyue, and the horses are whipped across the country! Buckingham Palace is in pieces, the Danube is flooded with blood, Lake Baikal is fishing, and the Louvre is dancing! The Chinese dragon is full of anger, the Han flag is raised all over the sky, and those who dare to offend the dragon's heavenly anger will be annihilated when they step on a thousand mountains, and he was stimulated by this passage at the beginning, not to mention realization, just thinking about it has great excitement. Later, as I grew older, I saw more and more helplessness in society and the country, and my psychology always changed, thinking that it was impossible to achieve even one of them in my life.

But after decades of struggle in the Republic of China, I have seen the hope of realizing this one. At least, he has now managed to encroach on Siberia, sailing in the North Sea, riding horses in Central Asia, swimming in southeast Burma, and seizing half of the Far East...... "I haven't seen Hua Zhong for many years, I don't know how this kid is now, I heard that he has become a father, and he has worked hard all these years." ”

Hanjing Fei Ruili, and then to Mandalay is not far away, Zhang Shusheng was pondering, Su Yuren came over and said that the plane was ready to descend altitude.

"Chairman of the Committee, the plane is about to land at altitude, can you notify the political axe of the Southeast Asian provinces?"

"Hmm."

Zhang Shusheng nodded, then turned his head to look at the increasingly scarce white clouds outside the porthole, and he could barely see the vast green mountains.

When the plane was about to land in Mandalay, the base camp urgently notified the Southeast Asian Provincial Government Axe of the inspection from the base camp through a secret telegram, but in this most classified telegram sent by Zheng Zhinan, commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Front, to Tuo Zhong, it only said that Wei Sancai, vice premier of the Government Council and minister of propaganda, and General Su Yuren, director of operations of the base camp, would inspect the social, economic, and anti-aggression work of the provincial political axe.

"Commander Zheng, can the recent air and air situation in Mandalay ensure the safety of Vice Premier Wei and Minister Su?"

Although Tuo Zhong is a feudal official sitting in the provinces of Southeast Asia, he still attaches great importance to this inspection from the highest level, although the identities of Wei Sancai and Su Yuren are more important than Zheng Zhinan, the most senior military general in Southeast Asia, but what makes him really nervous is that this represents the central government from the military and political level to truly inspect the provinces of Southeast Asia.

"Our air force and air defense units, all radar bases have been put on the highest alert, and the secrecy of this inspection is very high. We will do our best to complete this defense mission. ”

Zheng Zhinan vaguely felt that this inspection was not so simple, but the secret order he received was the same as what Tuo Zhong heard now, and the order even had the strictest control over the personnel who went to the airport to greet him.

Sure enough, when Zheng Zhinan and Governor Tuo, and Lieutenant General Luo Chengjun, who was training troops in Mandalay and was about to go south to the northern part of Thailand, they went to the airport together.

When they entered the tarmac of the airport, the three of them were shocked to find that the staff of the Internal Affairs Department of the Central Guard Bureau and the Special Intelligence Department of the base camp had taken over the security of the airport, and the escorts of the three were all blocked out and got into a Chinese car provided by the Central Guard Bureau to go to the tarmac.

"It seems that this inspection is not so simple."

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw some nervousness.

However, what the three of them never expected was that when they stood on the tarmac and watched with anticipation the latest military C-45 large transport plane that was slowly descending to a stop, and when they saw the person who shocked them inexplicably and walked down the gangway, their first reaction was to stand up and salute.

"Salute!!"

The three of them did not expect that after a long day, it was not only Vice Premier Wei and Minister Su who inspected the work of Southeast Asian provinces, but also the real person who was the chairman of the committee.

"The chairman himself came to Myanmar, does he remember what he said......

When Tataka saw the young man who had barely aged much from more than twenty years ago, and even looked even more young and vigorous, he finally believed 100% of the appearance of the chairman on the propaganda portrait and internal documents.

It's just not the same, no, it's become more majestic. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know that his real age was not so young, Tuo Zhong even thought that the young man in front of him was unparalleled in the world.

"Huazhong, work hard, and when Myanmar joins China, I will go to Myanmar to celebrate your meritorious service."

This sentence was heard last time, and more than ten years ago, when Tuozhong returned to China and was secretly received by Zhang Shusheng, I didn't expect that this day would really come so soon.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it to be me, I hope it's not an uninvited guest."

Zhang Shusheng stepped forward and returned a military salute, jokingly saying, the three of them naturally didn't dare to do anything. Immediately, he shook hands with Zheng Zhinan and Luo Chengjun one by one, and finally walked in front of Tuo Zhong, and said with a smile: "Governor Tuo, I have fulfilled my promise, of course, you have also completed your task very well and done a good job." ”

"The chairman of the committee has worked hard, Tuozhong is for the party, the country and the chairman, he has no regrets and does not dare to talk about achievements." Tuozhong once again set the right path.

"Don't be so serious, this time I will come to see the first province of our republic, and I will also look at you." Zhang Shusheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I heard that the hairy boys in your family are all in elementary school." ”

"Yes, chairman, the dog Hua Anbang will be seven years old this year, and he will be in the second grade of primary school at the beginning of school, and he is currently studying at Mandalay No. 1 Primary School." Takutashi replied gratefully.

"Well, let's do it, today I heard you talk about the situation in Myanmar, have a meeting, and tomorrow I will go around and have a look, and then you ask Hua Anbang to take two days off, I lack a little guide, hehe." After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, he turned around and got into the armored car prepared by the Security Bureau, and drove directly to the conference center in the jungle barracks, where he wanted to see on the spot the preparations of the two major military forces of the Southeast Asian Front Army and the Provincial Front Army, and then inspect some war facilities, such as air defense bunkers, air defense positions, airfields, and armored troops, which are all in the inspection at that time.

The inspection lasted only two days, and it was almost noon when he arrived in Hanjing, and Zhang Shusheng did not eat at the airport, but went directly to a nearby barracks belonging to the Southeast Asian Front Army Guard Unit, where the Central Guard Bureau and the Special Intelligence Department had already taken over and commanded the task of guarding there.

The armored car passed through the suburbs of Mandalay along the way, and the whole of Mandalay gave him the impression of the new city, except for some pagodas and old buildings.

It is almost equivalent to the development level of a prefecture-level city in China, and the economic level may be slightly worse, which is enough to show that the achievements of Tuozhong in Myanmar for more than 20 years are very significant, at least, Mandalay has completely become the most developed, most populous and highest modern city in Southeast Asia.

During the colonial period, Burma was poor, dilapidated and backward, and after Tuo Chung took power in Burma, he relied on the support of the Republic to build a country by means of centralizing power, making overall plans for unified construction, and imitating the mainland's economic development model, vigorously promoting education and social reform, and devoting himself to economic development, and achieved very good results.

The itinerary of the first day was very simple: after eating at the barracks at noon, he mainly listened to the military and political reports, inspected the air defense works in Mandalay in the afternoon, and inspected a radar base and air defense base in the suburbs of Mandalay in the evening.

In order not to expose Zhang Shusheng's inspections early, these inspections were carried out in extreme secrecy, and the soldiers who were close at hand did not expect that in the armored car that slowly drove past them, there would be the chairman of the committee who was supposed to be strategizing in Hanjing, nor did they think that in the conference room with the lights on that he could see when he looked up, the chairman was discussing military affairs with the high-level of the front army.

That night, the provincial government axe compound of Southeast Asian provinces, Tuozhong's residence.

Hua Anbang, who is less than seven years old, has just finished watching TV, a mainland domestic urban drama, the metropolitan life in the TV series is still very different from the Mandalay city in Hua Anbang's cognition, which is very attractive to him, and when the time reached 9 o'clock, he obediently turned off the TV, and his father was already waiting for him in the study.

"Dad!"

Hua Anbang has been a very smart and quiet boy since he was a child, although his brain is very active, and he often has a lot of strange ideas, but he is not the type of trouble.

Mandalay No. 1 Primary School and No. 1 Middle School are built by Myanmar, the teachers are all first-class classrooms sent from China, the teaching equipment is also very good, and the curriculum and teaching methods are one of the earliest Southeast Asian schools to synchronize with the mainland.

"Anbang, I have already asked you for leave from school, and tomorrow Dad will take you to meet a very important person." Tuozhong called Hua Anbang to the desk in the study, and the little guy stood there like a soldier, not the kind of restrained and oppressed little boy, but a quiet and sensible teenager.

"Hmm!"

"This man is very important to Dad, to our family, to our whole country. He is the most amazing man in the world. Tuozhong said.

"Dad, why is this man the most amazing person?"

Eight-year-old Hua Anbang, although he is relatively smart, still can't get around these bends.

"Because he has accomplished the most impossible task, there is no one in this world who can do what he has done but him." Tuo Zhong said lightly, but his tone was extremely firm, although Hua Anbang didn't understand very well, he nodded obediently.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shusheng had just finished breakfast in the barracks, and Tuozhong was ordered to bring his children to the barracks.

This morning, Zhang Shusheng's arrangement was to inspect the 239th Division, a mountain division under the jurisdiction of the 19th Group Army, which is the most elite field army of the Republic and will take on more important tasks in the Southeast Asian campaign.

The division was stationed in the mountains 20 kilometers away from Mandalay, and the degree of secrecy was very high, so Zhang Shusheng did not go deep into the troops, as he said yesterday.

Lieutenant General Wang Jun learned that the chairman had come to Mandalay last night, and rushed to the guard barracks overnight to meet Zhang Shusheng and report on the work of the 19th Group Army. Since he himself has not yet moved, and the allied forces in the southern coastal area of Burma have not launched a large-scale offensive, Wang Jun is still consolidating the entire group army and will move south.

The 239th Division did not receive any news, and the division commander Xiao Keshan was also temporarily ordered in writing by the chief of staff of the group army to assign this supreme task.

The 239th Division's station is mountainous, which is considered a field camp, and the conditions are not good, and they are all tents, but this kind of living conditions are already very good compared to them who have been sleeping in the ravine for a long time.

"Didi...!! Urgent Gathering!! ”

As soon as the whistle sounded, the well-trained 239th Division's camp became busy, and the soldiers did not line up like ordinary troops, but directly and orderly entered the low bushes in front of the camp. Each soldier is painted with camouflage on his face, and in order to be able to fight at all times, they will be painted camouflage once they enter the jungle to prepare for battle.

"Comrades, just received an urgent order, our 239th Division received an honorable task. This task is not a battle, but it is better than a battle, because we will be reviewed by the Supreme Council of the Republic.

I don't know who is coming, and I don't think there's a need for deception to deal with inspections.

However, I think it is necessary for us to let the deputies of the Supreme Power Council see the truest side of our 239th Division, see our most high-spirited mental outlook, and see our determination to win, so that they can bring our 239th Division and the fighting determination of our 19th Army back to the base camp, so that the chairman of the committee can rest assured, let the people of the whole country rest assured, and rest assured that the land of Southeast Asia of more than 2 million square kilometers will be handed over to us for guarding.

Brothers, China has never had the glory it has today for 5,000 years, and neither I nor you are insignificant in this long river of history, because we have personally participated in the creation of a great history, we have opened up and expanded our territory for the nation, and we have fought on the new 2 million square kilometers of land of the Chinese nation.

Here, under my feet, more than 2 million ordinary kilometers of provincial land, there is my 239th Division, my 19th Group Army, and our Southeast Asian Front Army. The battle will use me, and I will win, do you have confidence!! ”

"Victory!! Win!! ”

From time to time, the roar of planes came from the treetops, and the three regiments of the 239th Division, which had already received the news, did not panic. That's what they're waiting for, and the delegates from the Supreme Council of Power arrived.

Sure enough, soon a helicopter entered the eyes of the officers and men of the 239th Division, and then landed on a specially cleaned up flat ground.

The first to get off the helicopter was Lieutenant General Wang Jun, commander of the 19th Group Army, followed by Luo Chengjun, Zheng Zhinan and Tuozhong, and finally a young man led a young boy to get off the helicopter.

Rumble! Like a thunderstorm on the ground, all those who saw all this had an unbelievable feeling, originally thought that it was just a representative from the highest level of the republic, who would have thought that the chairman of the committee would personally come to inspect the 239th Division.

The appearance of the chairman of the committee is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible to say that he does not know him, but at first glance, no one dares to imagine that the chairman of the committee, who has never thought of meeting a real person in his life, has now appeared in front of him.

"Stand upright! Salute!! ”

The long command resounded throughout the mountains and forests, and with the uniform standing salute, the camp of the 239th Division was never a flat barracks, most of the time it was a jungle, and they were real jungle field elite troops.

Zhang Shusheng raised his hand to signal everyone to put it down, and without using the electric horn handed over by the staff next to him, he said loudly: "Take a break, stand upright." You may be surprised that I, the chairman of the committee who lives in Hanjing Mountain, is a big surprise to be here.

In fact, comrades can drill into the mountains and forests to live in the bushes, I Zhang Shusheng can also, I have also drilled the mountains and forests to live in the bushes, there is a different taste, but more is hard, you are bitter and tired, I understand.

Some of you have wealthy families and well-off families, some of you have no shortage of food and clothing, and some of you have parents, good wives and young children...... In conclusion, I just want to say that, comrades, believe you, you have worked hard. ”

When inspecting the 239th Division, Zhang Shusheng found that this famous mountain and jungle ace unit was worthy of being a real elite. From the point of view of training, their training standards and training intensity are quasi-special forces, and in terms of combat will, they are in no way inferior to any conventional force in the Wehrmacht system.

The characteristics of this unit are very fierce, there is a hunter's ruthlessness, ruthless people lead ruthless soldiers, Wang Jun was a fierce general on the battlefield of resistance, and later turned to the jungle field field field of fine command, it can be said that he single-handedly brought out the framework of the 19th Group Army.

This unit is the epitome of the 19th Group Army, with advanced equipment and operational ideas that are ahead of other mountain troops in the world.

Zhang Shusheng stayed in the 239th Division for 2 hours, because it was already the month of Layue in China at this time, he took the lead in organizing the 239th Division to make dumplings, and the result was that the whole division ate a winter dumpling with the chairman in this field camp, don't look at the temperature here exceeded 20 degrees Celsius, but everyone found the feeling of spending winter on the mainland.
