Chapter 243: Sabre Rattling

"Commander, if we can get rid of our dependence on the Americans, it will be the best. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info, however, it shouldn't be so easy for the Americans to let us get their wish. Liu Shiquan knew Qin Shou's ambitions, and he also knew that he wanted to use the Americans to develop and grow. However, Americans are not stupid, how can they be fooled?

"Don't worry, I know that the United States is not so easy to deceive. However, I am sure that I will succeed. Qin Shou said with great certainty.

"Yes, Captain." Liu Shiquan saw that Qin Shou was so sure that he had no choice but to say no more.

"Lao Liu, how is our situation?" Qin Shou asked. After leaving for more than half a month, Qin Shou was most concerned about so many things in Myanmar. The expansion of the army, the formation of a military junta, and the conflict with the British, etc.

"We are expanding our forces as planned. Now the 5th Infantry Division and the 6th Infantry Division have been formed. Training is underway. The shelves of the 2nd Army have also been erected and are being filled. On the side of the mountain city government, it is procrastinating. Let our soldiers not be very sufficient. It would have been best if the Americans had put further pressure on the Yamashiro government to give us more troops. Liu Shiquan knows very well that the army is the foundation of their foothold. Therefore, great importance is attached to the building of the armed forces.

Fortunately, the development of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not disappoint him. It is expected that soon, the 2nd Army will be fully formed. When the 2nd Army is basically combat-ready, they can continue to attack Thailand.

Qin Shou nodded: "The efficiency of the formation of the troops cannot be left behind, it must be accelerated." I plan to launch an attack on Thailand in January next year. This time, though, we bought two aircraft carrier battle groups from the Americans. But we also owe Americans $400 million in debt. In addition, we need to develop industry and improve infrastructure construction, which requires money. There is probably no country in the whole of Nanyang that is richer than Thailand. If we can occupy all of Thailand, we will be able to alleviate our shortage of funds. In addition, the millions of Chinese in Thailand can provide us with a more solid foundation for rule. We can pull up the 3rd Army from among those Chinese. ”

"If we go on the offensive in January next year, there should be no problem. With the exception of the 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions, which were relatively weak, the combat effectiveness of several other main infantry divisions was restored. The 2nd Army has also formed a certain combat effectiveness. If you want to defend yourself, you should have no problem at all. Liu Shiquan thought for a while, and then said.

"The preparations for the junta are also going well. The appointment of officials at all levels in the three military districts is waiting for you to make a decision. However, the Chinese people in Myanmar are very supportive of us. The only problem to be solved now is the obstruction of the British. As long as this problem is solved, there will be no problem with the formation and development of the junta. Liu Shiquan continued.

The military government would have the support of the vast number of Chinese, which was completely expected by Qin Shou. After all, the Chinese in Myanmar have been oppressed before, and their lives are not very good. Now, with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army supporting them, they can certainly turn over and call the shots. Not to mention anything else, those Burmese natives, at least don't dare to bully them anymore.

In addition, after the establishment of the military government, it will also implement policies that are more favorable to the Chinese. Qin Shou has always believed in the idea that the hearts of those who are not in my tribe must be different, and the millions of Chinese will be the basis for their rule in Burma. That's why we will vigorously support the Chinese. These fertile lands in Myanmar will also be allocated to the Chinese, and these lands will be used to attract more refugees from the country and further strengthen their ruling base.

"Those Burmese natives didn't jump out against us, did they?" Qin Shou asked.

"Those Burmese natives are quite honest now. However, once the junta is formed, it will undermine their interests. At that time, I am afraid they will not be so peaceful. For the indigenous people of Myanmar, Liu Shiquan has also strengthened control.

"Let them make a fuss. When the time comes, when we develop industry and carry out infrastructure construction, we will need a large number of laborers. If the Burmese natives dared to resist, they all took them to work on the construction site. "Qin Shou had already thought about how to deal with those natives.

In the future, the mines, factories and various construction sites in Myanmar will be filled with these indigenous people. They will use their industrious hands to build Myanmar into an industrially developed country. Of course, despite their hard work. However, in the end, it was the Chinese who enjoyed it.

If these Burmese natives are unwilling to give selflessly, the guns of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army will make them all honest. For these natives, Qin Shou has no mercy.

"What about the British? How are they doing now? "Qin Shou actually didn't pay much attention to the British. With the current force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, there is no need to be afraid of the British. Not to mention, there are Americans pressed on it. The Americans absolutely did not want to see the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the British fighting. When the time comes, they will definitely put pressure on both sides.

"Two days ago, the 4th Infantry Regiment of the 8th Infantry Division had completely annihilated more than 3,000 men of the 2nd Brigade of the 7th Indian Division of the British at Simbeyan. The British, apparently, can't swallow this breath. According to the intelligence we received from the Americans, the British were actively mobilizing their forces and rushing to the border of India and Burma. It's a great posture to launch an attack in one fell swoop! ”

"Humph! How many troops did the British presumably? Qin Shou snorted coldly, not frightened by this bluff of the British.

"The British dispatched 7 infantry divisions and a tank brigade with a total strength of about 100,000 men."

"100,000 men, that's probably their entire strength in eastern India. I don't believe they dared to launch a large-scale attack. What about our countermeasures? Qin Shou asked.

When he left Burma, he had already given instructions. If anyone dares to stretch out their claws to Burma, they will be chopped off. Whoever it is, don't want to take Burma away from the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"I have already sent the 1st Infantry Division and the 2nd Infantry Division to the front. In addition, armored brigades, heavy artillery brigades and reconnaissance brigades were also dispatched. If the British really dared to attack, the 3rd Infantry Division, as well as the newly formed 5th and 6th Infantry Divisions, would be able to pull to the front. ”

Qin Shou nodded, he knew that now on the border between India and Myanmar, there was probably already a pair of sabre-rattling. However, it is not them who are most anxious, it should be the Americans.
