Chapter 588: Burmese in Action
"You said that Chief He sent me here to ......"
He Jinhan hadn't been so excited for a long time. Ever since he knew that he had bet on the wrong treasure, committed Lao Jiang's taboo, and lost Lao Jiang's trust, he had lost all confidence in the future. Because he knows that no matter what he does or what he does, he will no longer become Lao Jiang's cronies, so naturally he will not want to climb up again. In that case, what else is worth doing? But fortunately, although he has been lonely for a long time, he has not lost the slightest trace of pride...... Even in the thankless position of the Labor Bureau, he wants to get things done as well as possible. As one of the "Three Heroes of Whampoa" in the past, he couldn't become a puddle of mud. Although he still couldn't hold it in the end, he went to He Yingqin and wanted to change his position, but he didn't expect that this search would find such an opportunity for himself...... He will also devote himself to the grand plan of "driving the British out of Southeast Asia"?
"Originally, Lao He meant to let me help you find a suitable position in the Fourth War Zone, or in Yunnan and Guizhou, but then he changed his mind and recommended you to me." Qin Wei smiled, "Because he thinks you're quite suitable." ”
"Then I don't know what kind of task you plan to send me, Chief Qin?" He Jinhan is also an experienced person, although he was a little excited, but then quickly grasped his emotions: "If it is related to Britain and the United States, then please forgive me for apologizing...... Because I don't have much experience in foreign affairs. ”
"It's just an apology, not a refusal?" Qin Wei asked with a smile.
"Yes." He Jinhan had a serious face, "Although I am inexperienced, I know that opportunities are rare, so I ...... I want to try it! ”
"Aren't you afraid that if you don't do well, not only will you not get results, but you will become our scapegoat?" Qin Wei didn't seem to notice that He Jinhan's self-proclaimed title had changed from "me" to "lowly duty". Instead, he continued to ask, "You must know that this is to grab the territory of Britain and the United States." These two countries are not easy to mess with, and we are allies now. If we do not grasp the scale well, it is very likely to have the opposite effect, and then affect the course of our war of resistance. ”
"Please forgive me for speaking bluntly," He Jinhan said solemnly, "Chief Qin, you don't seem to care about the attitude of the British and the United States and their possible reactions. This is evident from your attitude towards Stilwell. And since you don't care, then the restrictions on the actions of the lowly people in the future will definitely not be too big, I don't know if it is or not? ”
"Huh." Qin Wei still just smiled, "It's not surprising to see this. You're a good guy! ”
"What do you mean, sir, there's something else I haven't thought of?" He Jinhan asked.
"Indeed." Qin Wei nodded, "Are you interested in thinking about it again?" ”
“…… I don't want to. He Jinhan hesitated for a moment, smiled and shook his head. Now that you have a plan, then. Humble duty only needs to act according to the plan. As for the scales in it. Naturally, it can be reversed according to the effect produced after the plan is achieved. ”
"It's not a good task, and it's not your average offense." Qin Weidao.
"What if you offend people again?" He Zhenhan smiled bitterly, "In the past few years, I have already seen it. As long as you are willing to fulfill it, you are willing to do your best. ”
"Why don't you ask us what we're going to do for you?" Qin Wei asked with a smile again.
"There's no need to ask." He Jinhan shook his head and smiled, "Just like what I just said: in the past few years. I've seen it a long time ago. ”
"I want you to kill someone!" Qin Weidao.
"One will make ten thousand bones dry. Besides, who doesn't kill people these days? He Jinhan didn't care.
"The people killed are not one or two, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more...... Do you do this too? Qin Wei asked again.
“……”

"Rustle, rustle......"
After the sound of bodies scratching the leaves. A dark, withered face emerged from the dense bushes. He looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no danger, and then beckoned to the back. And with his movements, a moment later, another group of people emerged from the bushes. One of them, no less tall than the average white man, with a resolute face, was markedly different from the short, and obviously malnourished people around him, and with a shabby, but lean military uniform, he was quite handsome. This man was clearly the leader of the group. And if Shen Zui or Zheng Pingru and others are there, they will definitely be able to recognize the identity of this person at a glance: one of the founders of the Communist Party of Burma, the leader of the "Burmese Independence Army", Aung San!
"General, a short distance ahead, you will enter the territory of Ren'anqiang." A group of people found a place to sit and rest, while the Burmese Independence Army (MIA) member who had just explored the path walked up to Aung San and reported to him.
"Ringanqiang......" Aung San looked at the forest in front of him, "the British must not have noticed anything, right?" ”
"Definitely not. Their attention is all on the Japanese soldiers, so how can they care about our 'small' Burmese Independence Army? Another person walked over and said disdainfully.
"Hopefully it will always go this way." Aung San sighed lightly and added.
"I just want to see the faces of the Chinese now." Just now, the man said again, and a sneer condensed on the corner of his mouth, "If they find out that we didn't act according to their plan, but chose to cooperate with the Japanese, hehe...... It must be very exciting. ”
"Don't underestimate the Chinese." Aung San glanced at the man, "When the Japanese faced the Soviet Union, the United States, and Britain, they won consecutive battles, but in China, they suffered repeated defeats and had to take a retreat strategy. Moreover, the Chinese actually thought of using us against the Japanese and British, and wanted to take the opportunity to expand their influence in Burma, which is not a small ambition. ”
"The ambition is not small, and it must have the corresponding strength to back it up." The man smiled disdainfully, "As long as we cooperate with the Japanese Imperial Army to defeat the British army, then Burma will gain independence." If the Chinese want to reach in again, they have to ask me if Barry agrees. ”
"Although I work with the Japanese. But I've always been worried...... The Japanese don't talk or not. "Aung San's interest is not very high," that Shen drunk has reminded me many times that the Japanese are wolf ambitions. It is the nature of that country to swallow it and never spit it out again...... Although I know that he only said it deliberately in order to make us cooperate with them honestly, I am still a little uncertain. After all, there are a large number of precedents for Japanese aggression. ”
"I really don't understand you." Barry glanced at him, "You were the one who wanted to cooperate with the Japanese, and now it's you who are worried about it." The Japanese have already invaded Siberia and will take all of China in the future...... Where do they have the strength to encompass Southeast Asia in their arms? So, I believe the words of the Japanese. They are just trying to drive Britain and the United States out of Asia, in order to establish that 'Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere'! ”
This kind of talk deceives the child himself. Do you believe it too? Aung San scoffed.
"It's not all a lie, is it?" Barry was not convinced, "I know that the Japanese still need our resources, such as copper ore or something. But since we have to borrow the strength of the Japanese, we naturally have to pay the price. Who will help us for no reason? ”
"You're right. We borrow the strength of the Japanese, but the same. The Japanese are also borrowing our strength...... So. In the following interactions, we must ensure our independence. And that's what needs more of this! Aung San suddenly pulled out the pistol at his waist, "When we take Ringanqiang, we will ask the Japanese to help us expand the size of the Independence Army." ”
"We already have 15,000 people. How much more do you want to expand? Barry asked.
"At least three or four times more, preferably six times more." Aung San thought for a moment and said.
"More than six? Isn't that 100,000? Barry's mouth widened, "You know how much ammunition is needed for this. And how much does it cost to spend on the military every day? Will the Japanese agree? ”
"We can trade resources for it." Aung San's eyes looked at the forest in front of him again, and he seemed to have seen his goal: "The annual output of the Ringanqiang oil field is 1 million tons, which should be enough for us to support an army of 100,000 people." And as long as we have such a large army in our hands, neither the Japanese, nor the British, nor the Chinese, can no longer take Burma away from us, never! ”
**********************
"According to the telegram just received, the Burmese Independence Army has sneaked into the vicinity of Ringanqiang. It won't be long before an attack can be launched against the defenders of Ringanqiang. ”
Manila. Shouichi Terauchi had just received news that the British army in Malaya had not been able to organize an effective defense under the continuous attacks of the Japanese army. During this period, the British Army performed poorly, but several Australian units fought fairly well, causing them some trouble. However, trouble is only trouble after all, and with the successful landing of the Japanese at the port of Hinglou in Johor, north of Singapore, they have formed an all-out offensive posture against the most impregnable British rearline. The morale of the British army was low, and even if they were able to establish a fixed defensive line, it would not be able to survive much longer. In that case, the British army would have to withdraw into Singapore. Obviously, a small Singapore could not resist the mighty Imperial Japanese Army. Therefore, Shouichi Terauchi is in a very good mood at the moment, if it weren't for the presence of others, he probably wouldn't be able to help but jump for a while. However, Aunt Amaterasu didn't seem to think that the benefits for him were not enough, and someone sent another piece of good news.
"Ann Qiang? Very good! Terauchi Shouichi's eyebrows and beard were shaking with excitement, "Ishihara said that the oil fields in Renanqiang will be the target of the Chinese. In that case, let's take it down first, so that the British don't destroy it when they retreat...... Inform Shozo Kawabe and let him start the Burma campaign. Also, let the Airborne Forces prepare for an assault! ”
"Hey!"
"Also, tell Shozo Kawabe that after the Battle of Burma, I don't want to hear any more news of the 'Burma Independence Army'!"
"Hey!" (To be continued......)
