Chapter 217: The Chinese
Lieutenant General Stilwell did not spend much time in Yangon, and after determining the time of Qin Shou's visit to the United States and some related matters, he left. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As Chief of Staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, Commander of U.S. Forces in the Southeast Asian Theater, Lieutenant General Stilwell has a lot of other things to do.
Of course, as the most powerful Allied armed forces in the Southeast Asian theater of operations. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was undoubtedly the most important army under Lieutenant General Stilwell. This makes Lieutenant General Stilwell attach great importance to their needs, almost responding to them.
Lieutenant Colonel Steven will go to the United States with Qin Shou at that time. Otherwise, if Qin Shou went to the United States, he would be confused, and many things would not be able to unfold.
"General, will the Americans really support us in creating a military junta? I am afraid that the reaction of the British will be quite drastic at that time. Liu Shiquan said with some uncertainty.
"The Americans will support us. They want us to take the British territory. After this world war, the Americans thought about replacing the British and becoming the world hegemon. In such a situation, the more the British were weakened, the happier they naturally became. Qin Shou's face was determined.
Even though the United States and Britain are now close allies, they are doing everything for their own national interests. At the beginning, when the British were in full swing. In order to defend their hegemonic status, they have suppressed the United States in every possible way. It's just that the two world wars before and after tossed the British badly. In order to defeat the Germans, there was really no way but to hug the thighs of the Americans. And in order to replace Britain and become the world hegemon, the Americans will also use all kinds of methods to weaken the British. And the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can take advantage of this opportunity.
"As for the British, they will, of course, be quite dissatisfied. But so what? At most, we will have a conflict and some people will die. The military power of the British in India is not very strong at all, and we have no need to pay attention to it at all. "Qin Shou didn't pay attention to the military strength of the British at all.
"Use of force with the British?" Liu Shiquan was a little drumming in his heart. In his memory, the British were still very strong.
"Lao Liu, the British can't beat even the Japanese. I was beaten by the day * myself. We, on the other hand, killed more than 200,000 days* in Burma. And that was when we were weak. After this expansion, we will use two corps, 12 infantry divisions, 12 brigades, and more than 300,000 people. We don't have to fear the British. If they dare to come, we will be able to make their heads bleed. "Qin Shou didn't take the military power of the British into account at all. Even if the overall strength of the British threw out the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army several streets. However, now in Southeast Asia, the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army can completely destroy the British.
Liu Shiquan nodded, since Qin Shou was full of confidence in this, he didn't say anything more.
"Send a telegram to Lao Xu and ask him to guard northern Burma. Particular attention is paid to the border between India and Myanmar. As soon as the British dare to send troops across the border, give me a hard beating! Qin Lifetime ordered.
"Yes, Captain." Liu Shiquan also hopes that the two sides will not really get into trouble at the point of fighting each other.
"Lao Liu, I have to go to the United States next week. I'm afraid I'll need to stay there for about a month. During this time, Myanmar will be handed over to you. You can start the formation of a military junta. When I came back from the United States and gained the support of the Americans, the military government was officially established. Qin Shou said.
"Okay, Commander." Liu Shiquan has no objection to this. He was used to being Qin Shou's chief of staff and handling those trivial matters for Qin Shou.
"That's right, Lao Liu. The Chinese forces in Yangon and the surrounding areas, have you figured out the situation? Tomorrow, go and bring in those who are famous, and I will meet them. If we want to establish a military government in Myanmar, we will naturally rely on those Chinese. Qin Shou said.
Although the number of Chinese in Myanmar is small, there are more than one million. If a few million people can emigrate from the country, it will be enough to develop Myanmar. When the time comes, if the Burmese natives are captured and used as coolies, Myanmar's development will inevitably be accelerated.
"The Chinese around Yangon are undoubtedly welcoming to us. In the past, they were oppressed by the British and the local indigenous people of Burma. After the occupation of Myanmar by the Japanese themselves, they were also humiliated by the Japanese themselves. Quite a few Chinese were killed by the Japanese themselves. For us, they are naturally supportive. If we can fully consider their interests in the future Burmese military junta, they will inevitably be more inclined to us. ”
Qin Shou nodded: "Well, although it has been a long time since these Chinese left China. But, after all, blood is thicker than water! We will give them security and at the same time let them all get greater benefits in the development of Myanmar. In this way, they will be able to serve as a solid foundation for our rule. ”
The so-called non-clan will have different hearts, Qin Shou is convinced of this. The situation in the country is somewhat complicated, and there are many leading parties. However, overseas Chinese tend to be more united. Otherwise, they would not have survived in a foreign land. Qin Shou hopes to gather the strength of these overseas Chinese, and then use strong military force to protect them, and at the same time, with their support, develop stronger and achieve his own goals.
On October 19, the Chinese families and businessmen around Yangon were all invited by the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and invited them to the headquarters to attend a reception held by Qin Shou.
The principals of these big Chinese families and big businessmen are a little apprehensive about this. It is true that the arrival of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army drove away the Japanese and gave their lives a guarantee of safety. But at the same time, they are also afraid of the oppression and exploitation of these soldiers.
After all, many people have a natural fear of those who hold military power. Once the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to oppress them, or even plunder their wealth, they are like meat on a board, and they can only be slaughtered. Lian Ri* himself is not an opponent of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, can they still resist?
There are many Chinese who are even ready to break the bank and avoid disasters. If the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army only asked for money, it would undoubtedly be the best to keep their family business. But if the appetite of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is too great, then they are really miserable. (To be continued.) )
