Qin Wei did not express any surprise at Kong Xiangxi's "blackmail", and no one was willing to stand up for the Kong family, including Song Meiling. Because everyone knows that Qin Wei's status and importance in the national government at this time are even greater than Kong Xiangxi. At least, Kong Xiangxi is replaceable, but Qin Wei is irreplaceable.

"Although you have asked the Americans for cooperation according to your request, I think most of you are still a little weak in your hearts, and you are worried about the future."

The battle between Liangguang and Guangxi was not completed, and Bai Zhengxi lost a chance to make great contributions, not only that, but he also had to watch Qin Wei's rank climb above him, and he was even more jealous. But what can be done? Du Yuming could only lead the 5th Army to the south and control North Vietnam again, and at the same time ordered Sun Liren to lead the New 1st Army south to Saigon; As for the two divisions of the Dian army, they "bid farewell" to Sun Liren and took over Cambodia under the leadership of the chief resident officer in charge of Cambodian affairs of the French Indian branch...... Of course, this was the result of negotiations between the Nationalist Government and the French Government. According to the agreement, the Nationalist Government would for the time being recognize French suzerainty over French Indochina, but like the Japanese, they would have the right to garrison troops and veto power over local affairs. In other words, the officials of the French Indochina authorities are no longer working for the French government, let alone the Japanese government, but for the national government. The French also understood what this meant, and they were extremely unhappy with the "temporary" emphasized by the Nationalist Government in the agreement between the two sides, but they could not do anything about China. So, for the sake of the last bit of face, they accepted the agreement, and also paid a large "ransom" for the French people who remained near Guilin.

But this has nothing to do with Bai Zhengxi. He was the deputy chief of the general staff of the National Revolutionary Army, and he had to consider things from the perspective of the overall situation.

"Actually, I didn't expect the Japanese to be so desperate this time."

The location is still Qin Wei's White Mansion. Bai Zhenxi had never been here before, and Qin Wei had never wanted to invite this guy here...... It's easy to get misunderstood. "Bai Zhengxi is in the White Mansion". If this guy suddenly spills and cheats and insists that this mansion belongs to the Bai family, will he still be able to ask Dai Li for the title deed? But fortunately, Bai Zhenxi's personal ethics are quite passable, and there is no intention of taking advantage of it.

"Even the Panama Canal can be thought of blowing up. This is not a trick that the average person can think of. Even if Ishihara's gang had not been in power, they would have had considerable influence on Japanese politics by now. ”

"Terauchi Shouichi was disgraced when he left China, but within two days he became the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army...... Isn't it all obvious? Bai Zhenxi said.

"We're definitely going to have two hard days," Qin Wei said with a smile, "but as long as we can survive, it will be sweet in the future." ”

"Let us send troops to capture French Indochina. Britain and the United States are already full of wariness against us. Your immigration plans for Myanmar seem to have been frustrated, right? Bai Zhenxi asked.

"Nope." Qin Wei spread his hands, "Everything is going well." ”

"Smooth? But I obviously heard that the British have stopped allowing Chinese to enter Burma and have sent troops to guard the border? Is this also called smooth? Bai Zhenxi frowned. Qin Wei's immigration plan began not long after the creation of the "Chinese Military Welfare Fund", this guy used means to open the door of convenience to the French, and then in the same way to get the British to open the border door. And then. Under the pretext of agriculture, animal husbandry, forestry, and mining development, a large number of refugees and displaced people gathered in the southwestern provinces were secretly organized and sent over. But no one thought of it. In just a few months. More than 200,000 Chinese have entered Myanmar. And the British knew almost nothing about it. For what? It's still the same set, bullying the upper and lower levels. The British are colonizers, they are here to live a good life, not to find their own hardships. As long as a few responsible officials or clerks are bought off, the rest is basically no longer a problem. Moreover, many parts of Myanmar are still in a state of "independent governance", and there is an extreme lack of administrative management. And these Chinese are rarely arranged to areas with large populations, on the contrary, most of them go to the wilderness to open up wasteland and mine, how can the British colonial authorities know? So, even they were told something about it. It is also difficult to investigate. But then again, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, and Myanmar is a good place, with fertile land, a humid climate, which is particularly conducive to agricultural production, and there are no exorbitant taxes, which is very attractive to those refugees. And as a result, the news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and more Chinese crossed the border into Myanmar. In addition to the peasants, there were also many merchants and wealthy people, as well as craftsmen. Farmers can go to the wilderness, but these people have to rely on the towns to survive. As a result, after some time, the British colonists finally realized that there were already too many Chinese under their rule, and immediately began to restrict the entry of Chinese. But such restrictions did not work, and Chinese still poured into Myanmar in large numbers. So the British wanted to use other means, Zhujia specifically to levy a poll tax or a single tax increase on the Chinese, intending to force the Chinese to leave. However, no sooner had the British colonial authorities promulgated a new tax package than Du Yuming stormed North Vietnam and occupied all the areas north of the Red River. Immediately afterwards, Sun Liren led the New 1st Army to "kill" towards the Sino-Burmese border.

The British were honest. Although they did not take the initiative to withdraw the new tax plan, they did not ask for the implementation below, they were afraid that Sun Liren's troops had the same purpose as Du Yuming. In that case, they would be giving the Chinese government an excuse to attack them.

And then there's the diplomatic dimension.

London is now busy dealing with Hitler's air raids, and the Burmese authorities are left to negotiate with the Chinese government on their own. As a result, according to the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, at someone's behest, the local government of Yunnan stepped forward. I don't know if Lu Han scolded Qin Wei half to death behind his back because of this, but he still expressed his threat to the British colonists very strongly. No matter what the British say, it is just one sentence: we have too many refugees, we can't feed them, and people are starving to death every day, so if you stop them, you can stop them, but if this triggers a civil uprising, then we will definitely support our people...... In addition, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers in Yunnan who are idle and have nothing to do, and they have always wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy!

The British are arrogant and never afraid of threats. But now is different after all. In the past, if the Chinese side dared to speak like this, they would have thrown up their sleeves and left, and they didn't bother to pay attention to it, and they did what they wanted. But not now, we have to discuss. As a result, it was discussed until now. Seeing that the Chinese unceremoniously robbed the French of their territory, the British could not care about anything else, and first stopped these extremely threatening Chinese at the door.

But Qin Wei said that the immigrants were not affected at all, and everything went well?

"I really don't understand how you dare to think about competing for power and profit with Lao Jiang with such an intelligence system." Facing Bai Zhenxi's question, Qin Wei shook his head again and again, "Britain can't solve its own troubles now, how can it control us?" What's more, we are still 'comrades-in-arms' in the trenches with them, which is even more difficult to manage. Although their Burmese colonial authorities have issued a ban on evictions, the China-Myanmar border is so expensive, where can we open an opening? ”

"The British don't know what to do?" Bai Zhenxi asked in surprise.

"The upper level does not know the way, and the lower level knows the way." Qin Wei replied.

"Spend money to buy?" Bai Zhenxi asked again.

"You're so smart." Qin Wei nodded, "It's as simple as that." ”

"I don't believe it. The Burmese authorities have issued a death order, and those people under them dare to disobey the law? Bai Zhenxi shook her head again and again.

"Why don't you dare?" Qin Wei pursed his lips disdainfully, "There are policies above, and there are countermeasures below." This kind of thing is not only in China. Didn't the Myanmar authorities ban Chinese from entering? There are only a few passages in and out of the country, and those who are doing chores below are tasked with keeping an eye on the territory they are guarding. Someone else jumped over, what could they do? Besides, there were so many people who entered Burma before, and the British didn't count them at all, so if there were a little more or a little less, could they still figure out whether they came first or later? ”

"But the British are not stupid, we have done it so obviously, it is almost clear that the dove occupies the magpie's nest. Even if those people below are greedy for benefits, they can't be so unscrupulous, right? Bai Zhenxi still didn't believe it. The British have a stronger sense of state than the Chinese in these years. Look at people's London, they are about to be bombed into ruins, but the British in London still insist on it, or they don't admit defeat to Germany?

"Don't think of foreign devils as noble. France bragged about it, didn't it say that it would fall? But if you change the Prime Minister of France at that time from Petain to Churchill, then I dare tell you that France is still at war with Germany. Qin Wei smiled, "As for those who are doing things underneath...... The British Isles are all in danger, why are they still working so hard? Hurry up and earn some money and go to Australia or the United States to live a stable life. ”

"So, you're giving a lot of money?" Bai Zhenxi asked again.

"The so-called loyalty is because the price of betrayal is not big enough!" Qin Wei said with a smile: "I falsely accused Kong Xiangxi again, just because the price I paid was too great. Otherwise, I'm not idle and have nothing to do, so why do I have to be jealous? ”

"And when are you going to snatch Burma over?" Bai Zhenxi asked with a smile.

"Jokes. We are allies with Britain now. Qin Wei glanced at this guy, "To be a man is to be faithful, how can anyone stab an ally before defeating the enemy?" ”

"It's useless to pretend with me." Bai Zhengxi also glanced at him, "But I'm worried now, what if the Japanese don't fight Burma and fight Vietnam instead?" After all, the main forces of both of our armies are now in Vietnam. How dare they attack Burma without sweeping these two armies first?" (To be continued......)
