135 Yangon is quiet tonight

Under the cover of night, Wu Suotong desperately pedaled his bicycle and went straight to the headquarters of the Burmese army.

As soon as he arrived at the door, the guard at the door stopped him, and he immediately showed a pie, and the guard immediately let him go. Sotun rode his bicycle and pedaled straight to a white building. When he reached the entrance of the building, he jumped out of the car, threw the valuable bicycle aside, and ran inside.

When he arrived in the building, there were still guards at the door, but he had Paisi in his hand, and no one dared to stop him. I saw him running to the fourth floor in a hurry, and at this time a second lieutenant stopped him, and he said breathlessly: "I want to see Commander Min Ang, I have an important situation to report to the commander in person!" ”

"You wait here first, and I'll report to Commander Minang." As he spoke, the second lieutenant immediately picked up the phone in front of him.

……

Ten minutes later, in Commander Min Aung's office, a pot-bellied man with a cigar in his mouth sat on a black single sofa with his legs crossed.

Sotun stood in front of him, like a child, with his head slightly bowed, his waist slightly hunched, and his hands clasped together on his chest.

"So, Aung San has already decided to defect?" Min'ang asked as he took a deep puff of his cigar and exhaled a large smoke ring.

Suo swallowed a mouthful of water to keep his throat moist, he took a deep breath and said, "Yes, Commander, it was Kun Sha himself. He said that the day after tomorrow the expeditionary force would send ground troops to attack Yangon, and Aung San would riot at 6 o'clock tomorrow night. At that time, Aung San will also telegraph the whole country to the memorandum of understanding he signed with China and the United States. ”

"What? Memorandum! Why haven't I heard you mention it before? Min'ang's body was propped up from the couch, his eyes shining.

Suo Tun hesitated, "It's also the first time I've heard Kun Sha say it. It is said that when Aung San secretly went to the same time last time, he signed a contract with Stilwell and Sun Liren. The gist of the idea was to ensure that the expeditionary force would help Burma become an independent state after driving out the Japanese, and that the British would no longer be allowed to return to Burma. Aung San was probably afraid that the words of the Chinese and the Americans would not count, so he planned to announce it on the day of the riot with a telegram. ”

Min Aung nodded with satisfaction, "This Aung San is really shrewd, he even thought of signing such a contract with them to guarantee his own rights and interests." But what's the use of announcing it? What should be torn up is still torn. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Sotun was resigned.

"You've done a good job this time, you go back and keep watching, and if anything, you can go straight to me through the phone in the telecommunications room. Do you understand? After saying that, Min'ang stood up and patted Suo Tun on the shoulder, and Suo Tun was grateful.

"Alright, you go out, remember, don't be followed." After saying that, Min'ang waved his hand outside, motioning for him to go out.

At this time, Suo Tun stood at the door and was reluctant to go out, he tugged on his sleeve and smiled: "Commander Minang, look at my daughter......"

"Oh, I remember, you're going to take her home tomorrow morning."

"Thank you, Commander Min'ang! Thank you, Commander Min Aung! Sotun thanked Min'ang with gratitude, and almost fell to his knees.

Min-ang waved his hand and motioned for him to go out. Sotun bowed his head and walked out.

After Sotun walked out, Min'ang picked up the phone in front of him and made a few calls, saying that he had ordered them all to come to his office. But when he had said that, he felt that something was wrong, so he changed his words and said, "Forget it, tell them all to go to my apartment." ”

He waited until the other party's answer was confirmed, and then he hung up the phone.

Min Aung took the cigar cigarette in his mouth, picked up the military jacket on the coat rack, and walked straight out.

……

Half an hour later, on the banks of the Yangon River, a Nissan 70-style car drove in front of a sunset villa. There was a Japanese flag hanging in front of the car, and in the dark night, the headlights of the car were like two lampposts, and the two guards in front of the villa couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands and squint their eyes.

The car creaked to a halt at the door, the villa was the residence of Commander Min Aung, surrounded by high walls with barbed wire, and the only entrance stood four sentinels with guns, which could be described as heavily guarded.

"It's Master Wu Wenxiang, please come in." The sentry waved his hand and motioned for the railing to be lowered behind him. The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car went straight inside.

At the door of the villa, a man wearing a military uniform of the Myanmar Independence Army got out of the car, he was Wu Wenxiang, commander of the 1st Division of the Myanmar Independence Army.

Wu Wenxiang took the military hat from the attendant's hand, put it on his head casually, and then walked towards the house with strong steps.

"Commander Wu Wenxiang, Commander Min Ang is waiting for you upstairs." An attendant approached.

After Wu Wenxiang hummed, he went straight upstairs again. When he arrived at the door, Wu Wenxiang didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door directly, and saw that there were already several people sitting in the room, so he took off his military hat and hung it on the coat rack next to him and said, "Commander Minang, I'm very sorry, I'm late." ”

Min Ang smoked a cigar and smiled slightly, "Don't get in the way, we haven't started yet." Sit down,"

Wu Wenxiang was not polite, and directly pulled out a chair and sat down. An officer next to him picked up the teapot and added some water to Wu Wenxiang's cup, Wu Wenxiang didn't raise his eyelids, but said directly to Minang: "Commander, let's start." ”

Min Ang walked over with a cigar in his belly, and he whispered to everyone, "I came today because of something important. ”

As he spoke, he gave a general account of the information reported by Sotun, and also told the specific time and place.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but what they did not expect was that Aung San really dared to shoot at the Japanese, and it seems that the previous rumors that he had secretly negotiated with the Chinese and Americans were indeed true.

"Commander, do you want to report this matter to Watanabe Daisa?" Sitting on the left side of the table, a man in a suit and glasses asked. Takayuki Watanabe is a member of the Southern Agency, and he is also the top adviser of the Japanese to the Burmese Independence Army, and can be regarded as the "Emperor" of the Independence Army.

In the past, Aung San and Min Aung had conflicts with each other, and both of them would strive for greater trust from Watanabe, and before that, Min Aung had also revealed some information about Aung San to Watanabe Takayuki many times, and this time was obviously a good opportunity to bring down Aung San.

Unexpectedly, Commander Minang waved his hand, "Don't report it to Watanabe yet, for now, this matter is only limited to a few of us." ”

The man in the suit and glasses was a little suspicious, and another man in traditional ethnic clothes next to him explained: "We have not yet confirmed the information, and Aung San and others have not carried out a riot, even if they report it to Watanabe, they can only chase after the wind." ”

Commander Min Aung nodded, "In addition to these, this Aung San riot is mainly to cooperate with the counteroffensive of the expeditionary force, and he also signed a secret agreement with the expeditionary force. ”

Commander Min Aung didn't say this thoroughly, but everyone already understood that this naturally meant that if the expeditionary force was victorious, Min Aung and they would naturally have to consider what to do next, whether to continue to cooperate with the Japanese, or to seek new partners?

Min Aung asked Wu Wenxiang again: "At present, the unit of our Independence Army in Yangon is your 1st Division, and how much of this army is now controlled by Aung San?" Do you know? ”

Wu Wenxiang thought for a while and said: "In addition to the Youth Corps, the troops they control are field artillery companies. The rest of the troops, I can assure, are under my command. However, the youth league was formed by Aung San and Denwin, and it has always been difficult for me to intervene in this force. ”

Wu Wenxiang's words made everyone not only frown, the main force of the 1st Division of the Independent Army was the Youth League, if the Youth League had already followed Aung San to the armed uprising, then only by asking for the assistance of the Japanese army could they suppress them.

"Tomorrow morning, if you gather the main generals of the Youth Corps at your division headquarters, you will say that there is an important military situation. After putting them under house arrest, and then sending an infantry battalion to command me, I was going to arrest Aung San myself. As he spoke, Minang took a hard puff of his cigar, puffs of smoke coming out of his mouth and nostrils.

"Commander Minang, what should we do if the Chinese and Americans defeat the Japanese?" A man sitting opposite the man in a suit and glasses asked, in fact, this is what everyone is most concerned about.

Min'ang pinched the cigar smoke out of his mouth and slammed it into the ashtray, "That's why I'm sending an infantry battalion." ”

With everyone's eyes focused on him, Min Aung continued to squeeze his cigar and said, "I'm going to go to Aung San to get the memorandum he signed with the Chinese and Americans." If the Japanese defeat the expeditionary force, then we will give this memorandum to the Japanese and let them go against Aung San. On the contrary, if China and the United States defeat Japan, this memorandum will be our talisman, and we can use this to find Stilwell and Sun Liren and ask them to continue the talks with us. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, but the man in the suit and glasses helped his glasses and asked, "But this memorandum was signed by Aung San and them?" Isn't it useless for us to hold it? ”

Min Ang pouted in disappointment, "Believe me, for the Chinese and Americans, it is the most important thing to get rid of the Japanese, so they don't care who signed this memorandum with them." When the time comes, we will execute Aung San, presumably the Japanese, and then we will be able to rightfully succeed Aung San. ”

"I see! Or Commander Min Aung thinks long-term. The man in the suit and glasses couldn't help but give a thumbs up and pat himself on the back.

After the meeting was agreed, it was adjourned. Min Aung made the necessary arrangements for everyone, agreeing to preemptively act before Aung San tomorrow.

At this time, Aung San also received a report from his secret agent that Min Aung had gathered his cronies to plot in his villa tonight, which was certainly not an ordinary gathering, because Wu Wenxiang had left the dinner table at home, which showed that things were in a hurry.

What was it that made Min Aung go to such great lengths to gather his cronies? Aung San's brow furrowed, and he began to think about what Min-Aung might do to his detriment.

At this time, Khun Sha, who was hiding in his foothold outside, loaded a Southern Type 14 pistol into the chamber and placed it in the briefcase containing the memo, and he was ready to meet Aung San in person tomorrow.

It was also on this evening that the head of the Southern Agency, Takayuki Watanabe, received several important pieces of information, including a photograph of Aung San and the expeditionary force's spies.

He pinched the picture and frowned, a smile tinged with anger and weirdness on the corner of his mouth.

Various forces are preparing, and Yangon is quiet tonight, but a huge storm is brewing......
