Chapter 349: Burma Province

Myanmar, Mandela.

The war in the Far East has just begun to calm down, and the situation in Southeast Asia has become complicated and tense again.

On the streets of Mandela, several black cars, driven by a police car, are heading to the location of the People's Political Axe in the downtown area of Mandelasi.

"Mandela has grown so fast over the years, General Guro."

In the back seat of a bulletproof Chinese car in the middle, a middle-aged man of nearly 50 years old sits next to a young officer dressed in the uniform of a general of the Burmese People's Army. looks like a man in his twenties, although he is young and light, but he has a compelling heroic spirit.

It turned out to be General Gu Luo, deputy commander-in-chief of the Burmese People's Army, whose real name is Luo Chengjun, one of the senior agents of the special intelligence department sent by the Republic in the early years, and the son of Luo Feng, the current director of the special intelligence department of the base camp of the Republic.

"Secretary Liu, this is all because of the kindness of the Chinese people flowing in the blood of Myanmar, and it is the support and help of the Chinese people that has led to today's Myanmar, the abundant food and clothing of the Myanmar people, and the Mandela in front of them."

Admiral Guluo looked at the secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Baath Party and the director of the Political Department of the base camp in front of him, and said in a reverent tone.

It seems that he is currying favor with this important member from the Republic and the top of the Baath Party in his capacity as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Myanmar People's Army, but in fact, only Gu Luo himself, that is, Luo Chengjun himself, knows that the middle-aged important member in front of him has enough to make himself respect.

Liu Shaoqi, an early member of the Southwest Period, one of the early elders of the Baath Party, was the first governor of Hanzhong Province in Southeast Asia, the southernmost territory of the Republic. Later, he was transferred to the base camp and served as director of the Political Department and secretary of the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Baath Party.

As the director of the Political Department, Liu Shaoqi and Luo Feng, the director of the Special Intelligence Department, can be regarded as knowing the roots, and indirectly, Luo Chengjun also has a good impression of this important member of the review party with his simple style and noble character.

As soon as Gu Luo lowered his head, he could see the old leather shoes, and with the eyesight of his intelligence officer, it was easy to find that they were a pair of 37-year-old Feihua brand leather shoes, and he was wearing a white-washed 35-year-old brand southwest suit, and a pair of glasses had actually changed his nose pads several times.

"Myanmar's development is increasingly inseparable from China, and China also needs ethnic groups, including Myanmar, to join in and prosper together. General Koo Lo, to tell you the truth, before I came this time, the chairman of the NPC Standing Committee specifically instructed me not to let down the ardent hopes of the Burmese people. ”

Liu Shaoqi smiled meaningfully, but it was rare that he did not show seriousness, and looked at Gu Luo's eyes with great praise, "General Luo Feng, director of the Intelligence Department, has also made great contributions to the intelligence work of the people of Myanmar in Southeast Asia. General Gu Luo, Comrade Luo Feng admires you very much.

I hope that this document I have brought with me can bring you some help. ”

"Thank you, Secretary Liu." Hearing Liu Shaoqi mention his father, Luo Chengjun was quite excited, only one step away, only one step away, he could change his face and complete the mission. He has deep expectations for this document. Although Liu Shaoqi did not say it deeply, he knew that the republic had arrangements for him.

What is the purpose of more than ten years of hard work? In order not only to return to his hometown and complete the mission, but also to achieve his father's ardent hope and not disappoint him.

The convoy continues to move along the streets of Mandela, most of the buildings on both sides are built in recent years, the third floor ~ seven floors of buildings abound, the number of cars and bicycles can be seen on the street, the number of motorcycles and bicycles is even more, there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, shops and vendors, strictly speaking, the Mandela in front of him is compared with some of the more developed county-level and even ordinary city-level cities in China.

Some trained troops could be seen on the streets, and when they saw this string of black courtesy cars, they all stood by the street and saluted.

"Well-trained, General Tuozhong and General Guluo, your soldiers are good." Liu Shaoqi saw that the troops on the side of the street, although they only ran into the convoy by chance, were able to be well-trained, moved consistently, and had a strong military atmosphere. Judging from the weapons, all the Huaxia-style rifles, some people still carry light machine guns, and occasionally you can see a Chinese semi-automatic rifle.

Luo Chengjun nodded and said, "According to the content of the Sino-Burmese military cooperation agreement, in addition to the formation of ordinary armies, in terms of special forces, our Burmese army is mainly based on mountain warfare and jungle warfare as training subjects, and the future combat positioning is a strategic supplement to the Chinese [***] team, ensuring that it can provide auxiliary combat for the main force in wartime under complex war terrain such as mountainous terrain, jungle terrain, and hilly terrain."

We have brought in a large number of excellent Chinese military instructors, supplemented by advanced jungle warfare equipment and equipment, and now our elite troops have been able to match or even surpass the Gurkha troops trained by the Indians.

In the recent infiltration and counter-infiltration battles in the south, our troops have achieved considerable success, eliminating two formed Gurkha special companies and capturing one of the opposing deputy battalion commanders.

In general, the total number of our troops has reached 600,000 at present, and we will be able to support China if necessary. ”

"General Guluo is really leading the army, and these troops are a great addition to the strength of the [***] team in the future."

Liu Shaoqi certainly understands the huge role of the Burmese army.

Luo Chengjun smiled and said with emotion, "I did some work, but General Tuozhong has done more than me, and he is the real hero." General Chen Xiao has also done a good job in training troops in Laos and northern Vietnam. ”

The 35 million Burmese will eventually raise an army of more than 2 million with the aim of eventually joining Greater China and sharing the fruits of China's victory. The main Burmese army will be used for garrison missions in the occupied areas, and the current elite and quasi-elite Burmese mountain army, which is about 200,000 troops, will be used for future special operations in complex terrain.

Of course, the former is not as good as the Wehrmacht, but it can be the leader of the future Southeast Asian Army Corps, rushing to garrison in various places. As for the latter, the individual combat power is not as good as China's special forces, but it is superior in numbers, and it is extremely good at climbing mountains and ditches to fight field battles.

Liu Shaoqi came this time to shoulder the responsibility of co-opting the whole of Myanmar, accepting Myanmar's application to join Greater China, recognizing the referendum of the Burmese people, and giving the northern regions including Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam the right to join the soon-to-be-formed Southeast Asian provinces.

So far, Myanmar has raised 600,000 troops, Laos 50,000 and northern Vietnam 350,000. In other words, when the Southeast Asian provinces are established, they will have an army of one million people, and these troops are still well-trained, and the equipment level is comparable to that of the second-line armies of World War II such as Italy.

It's just that in comparison, the Burmese army is more capable of fighting well, while the Lao army and the Vietnamese army are less combative, but they are fierce, and they may also become strong forces in jungle warfare and mountain warfare in the future. Myanmar's armament training was mainly carried out by Luo Chengjun, while in Laos and northern Vietnam was in charge of Chen Xiao. Since Laos and northern Vietnam were occupied by China and had a simple administrative plan, Chen Xiao directly organized and trained the army locally as a general of the National Defense Forces.

Of course, a considerable part of these training costs are provided by China itself. Myanmar, Laos and North Vietnam are so poor that improving the lives of the people will naturally have to pay for it. Especially the Vietnamese, who are timid and afraid of things, see the wind and make the rudder, only with a stick in one hand and a radish in the other, can they trap these two or five boys. And in wartime, they will also be mixed with the Burmese army.

From time to time, the convoy came to the Burmese People's Square, which was backed by the ruling axe of the Burmese People's Army's top power center, General Tau Chung of the Burmese People's Army. What puzzles many is that the liberator of Myanmar has always called himself a general, not a president, or a prime minister, a chairman.

Today, Tuong Chung is not only famous in Myanmar, but also in Southeast Asia, and even in Vietnam, he is regarded as a leader in national liberation and national prosperity.

"Welcome Secretary Liu to Myanmar to inspect the work. Our preparations for party affairs still need more guidance from Secretary Liu. ”

When Tuo Zhong saw Liu Shaoqi, his face was full of smiles, and he personally stepped forward to hold Liu Shaoqi's hand for half a minute.

The three of them quickly entered a small conference room, without a single secretary, except for a secretary of the Secret Service Department, there were no extra people.

After the three of them sat down, the topic quickly became lively, after all, this was a secret meeting, and there was no need to worry about any intelligence leaks.

"Comrade Hua Zhong, Comrade Luo Chengjun!"

Liu Shaoqi took out a letter printed with the logo of the base camp of the Republic, and before opening it, he called the names of the two people.

"Here!"

The two stood up almost as if they were being launched, waiting for Liu Shaoqi to read out the letter from the chairman of the People's Republic of China.

"Comrade Hua Zhong, Comrade Luo Chengjun:

In view of your respective performance in Southeast Asia, in my capacity as Chairman of the Supreme Power Council of the Republic, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Baath Party, and Supreme Commander of the National Defense Forces, I appoint the following:

In view of Comrade Hua Zhong's highest performance in the work in Southeast Asia, Comrade Hua Zhong is hereby appointed as the governor of the Southeast Asian Province (preparation), the secretary of the Southeast Asia Region of the Baath Party, the honorary political commissar of the Southeast Asian Provincial Front Army (preparation), and the rank of general.

In view of Comrade Luo Chengjun's extremely high performance in the work in Southeast Asia, as a special staff member of our party stationed in Burma in the early days, Comrade Luo Chengjun is hereby appointed as the commander of the Southeast Asian Provincial Front Army (preparation) with the rank of lieutenant general, and Comrade Luo Chengjun is given a commendation in the party and within the army. ”

After Liu Shaoqi read the intermittent letter of commendation, Hua Zhong and Luo Chengjun couldn't help but shed tears.

Luo Chengjun left his parents when he was a teenager and went to Southeast Asia for the cause of the Republic in Southeast Asia. Hua Zhong is also a pioneer of the Republic's cause in Southeast Asia, and it is entirely his credit that Southeast Asia now has such a good situation.

Because of the great efforts of the two of them, preparations for half of Southeast Asia began nearly 20 decades ahead of schedule, social reform, economic development, training the military, cultivating pro-China ideology, promoting pro-China officers and officials, and instilling influence from China from all angles of society.

They have done so, and the upcoming establishment of a Southeast Asian province will be a great counterattack to the actions of the United States and Britain in Southeast Asia, and China's counterattack in Southeast Asia will begin as a signal.

It's just that Luo Chengjun can restore his identity as an 'early Baath Party staff stationed in Myanmar', but Hua Zhong cannot, and his current identity and status can no longer be simply disposed of.

Luo Chengjun didn't even know that Tuo Zhong was a member of the Special Intelligence Department in the early days, and although he suspected it later, it was never confirmed, and Tuo Zhong's performance was a pro-China Burmese from beginning to end. However, later, from the channel of the Special Intelligence Department, Luo Chengjun finally affirmed that General Tuozhong was his comrade-in-arms and an early intelligence officer of the Special Intelligence Department.

You know, the intelligence officers of the Secret Service are not just simple agents, they have all kinds of abilities, they have various identities, and they are lurking all over the world.

After the two saluted, Hua Zhong turned around, looked at Luo Chengjun, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Chengjun." Today I can officially admit that, yes, I am your senior. You may not remember me, but I remember you. At that time, I was still training in the orphanage, and that night I saw Vice President Luo send you to the collective dormitory.

We are from an intelligence background, and our eyesight is very important, when I first saw you, I recognized you, and I also found that you and Vice Dean Luo looked very similar. Then I guessed that Vice President Luo actually sent his own son to our orphanage for the sake of the country. ”

Today, Luo Chengjun will soon have the identity of an early Baath Party supporting Burmese revolutionary workers, and Hua Zhong does not need to hide anything, with the identity and status of Liu Shaoqi's political director, he knows about the existence of the orphanage.

Luo Chengjun wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak, yes, he can recover his identity, but the senior in front of him is afraid that he will have to wait many years before he has a chance, gritted his teeth, he stood up and saluted: "Senior has worked hard!" ”

"You, the chairman, and people like your father are really hard, they have the world in mind, and they are all thinking about the world situation.

I'm not hard, others call me the king of Burma, I should enjoy it, and I can do what I should do, and then I will be the caretaker, and the affairs of the Southeast Asian provincial front army depend on you. I will give you great support for the follow-up military training, and I will cooperate with the Wehrmacht in combat.

You have to fight well, although they were not Chinese before, but they will be Chinese in the future, as long as they have made sacrifices and are willing to follow our great China cause from the bottom of their hearts, you must take them well, use them well, and love them. ”

Hua Zhong said solemnly that although he identifies with his mission, he has developed a love for the land and its people in Myanmar for more than 20 years.

Liu Shaoqi saw the true feelings of the two, but said with a smile, "You are all national heroes, but you can't slack off." I am only in charge of the preparations for the party work, and the next step is the establishment of the province, the reorganization of the provincial political axe, and the reorganization of the front army, and the task is still heavy, haha. ”

According to the plan, Myanmar will take the lead in forming a Baath Party, and then hold political elections in the name of the Burma Regional Baath Party, echoing Laos and North Vietnam to jointly apply for membership in the republic.

Their applications will be approved as quickly as possible, and then the Southeast Asian provinces will be formed, and then the Southeast Asian provincial front will be formed mainly with the elite and quasi-elite mountain troops of Burma, and the other troops will be directly reorganized into servant divisions, which will be used separately and transferred to the Far East, Siberia, Central Asia, and even the rest of the world in the future.

All this will be completed in a very short time, the preparations have already been completed, and as soon as the situation arrives, the flames of war in Southeast Asia will be fully ignited.
