Chapter 355: Visiting Burma(1/2)
,
spn January 3, 1946, the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhang Shusheng secretly boarded a military transport plane to Ruili, then transferred in Ruili and went straight to Mandalay to begin a wartime inspection of Myanmar, accompanied by only necessary office personnel
In addition, there are also the Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, Wei Sancai, Minister of Propaganda, and Su Yu, Minister of Operations Department, who serve as generals.
This inspection was very confidential. Except for Su Yuren, other senior officials of the Republic only learned about the inspection at the end. Only Luo Feng, director of the Intelligence Department, knew about the specific itinerary.
Whether it was before time travel or this era, Zhang Shusheng's impression of Myanmar and even Southeast Asia as a whole was that it was poor and backward, with mountainous terrain and located in the subtropics. He was looking forward to inspecting this new land in northern Southeast Asia.
As a man, of course he has to do important and impassioned things in his new life. To realize his personal ambitions and realize the rise of the entire nation, through taking the lead himself, he can lay thousands of miles of land for the entire nation, so that the entire nation can thrive better and live faster.
It is his dream to develop into a higher civilization.
Before time travel, he liked a passage on the Internet very much.[
The ruins of Tokyo are far away to worship the ancestors, and all the fusangs are handed over! Drinking from the edge of the Amazon River, bowing in front of the goddess, the Ganges is stained with blood to kill Indians, and the British horses are whipping! Buckingham Palace is in pieces, the Danube is flooded with blood, Baikal
You can fish in the lake and dance gracefully in front of the Louvre! The Chinese dragon is soaring with majesty, the Han flag is flying everywhere, dare to violate the dragon's sky
Those who are angry will surely annihilate those who conquered a thousand mountains. At first, his blood was boiling with excitement stimulated by this passage. Not to mention realizing it, he was extremely excited just thinking about it. Later, as he grew older,
The more I see the frustrations of society and the country, my psychology always changes, and I think it is impossible to achieve even one of them in my life.
But when we came to the Republic of China, after decades of struggle, we already saw the hope of realizing this.
At least "he has now achieved the goal of encroaching on Siberia, "rowing" in the North Sea, riding horses in Central Asia, traveling to southeastern Burma, and seizing half of the Far East...
"Duodong hasn't seen Hua Zhong anymore. I don't know how this guy is doing now. I heard he is a father. He has worked hard these years."
Flying from Hanking to Ruili and then to Mandalay is actually not that far away. While Zhang Shusheng was deep in thought, Su Yuren came over and said that the plane was getting ready to descend.
"Chairman, the plane is about to land. Can we notify the Southeast Asian provincial government?"
,"Um."
Zhang Shusheng nodded, and then turned his head to look at the increasingly sparse white clouds outside the ship's side. He could barely see the vast green mountains.
When the plane was about to land in Mandalay, the base camp urgently notified the Southeast Asian provincial government of the inspection from the base camp through a secret telegram. However, this letter was personally sent to the provincial government by the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Front Zheng Zhinan and handed over to Tuo.
Zhong's most confidential message only stated that the Prime Minister of the Government Affairs Council, Wei Sancai, Minister of Propaganda, and General Su Yuren, Chief of Base Camp Operations, would inspect the social, economic and anti-invasion work of the provincial government.
"Commander Zheng, can the recent air defense and air situation in Mandalay ensure the safety of Premier Wei Hun and Minister Su?"
Although Tuo Zhong is a feudal official who is in charge of the Southeast Asian provinces, he still attaches great importance to this inspection from the highest level. Although Wei Sancai and Su Yuren are both more important than Zheng Zhinan, the most senior military general in Southeast Asia.
"Important." But what really made him nervous was that this represented a real inspection of the Southeast Asian provinces from the military and political level by the [Central] Central Committee.
"Our air force, air defense forces, and radar bases have all entered the highest alert state. The confidentiality of this inspection is very high. In addition to Governor Tuo, the provincial government only has Lieutenant General Luo Chengjun. We will do our best to
Complete this defense mission."
Zheng Zhinan vaguely felt that this inspection was not that simple." But the secret order he received was the same as what Tuo Zhong heard now. The order even had the strictest control on the personnel who went to the airport to greet him.
Sure enough, when Zheng Zhinan went to the airport with Governor Tuo and Lieutenant General Luo Chengjun, who was training troops in Mandalay and would soon go south to garrison in northern Thailand.
When entering the airport apron, the three people were shocked to find that staff from the Central Security Bureau and the Internal Affairs Office of the Base Camp Special Intelligence Department had taken over the security of the airport. The three people accompanying them were blocked outside and sat on the
[Center] A Chinese car provided by the Central Security Bureau goes to the tarmac.
"It seems that this inspection is not that simple."
The three of them looked at each other and felt a little nervous.
But what the three of them never expected was that when they stood on the tarmac, looking eagerly at the slowly landing, the latest large military transport aircraft came to a stop, they saw the person who shocked them inexplicably.
When I walked down the gangway, my first reaction was to stand at attention and salute.
,"salute!!"[
The three of them didn't expect that after working for a long time, it was not just Premier Wei Hun and Minister Su who inspected the work of the Southeast Asian provinces, but the real person was actually the chairman of the committee.
"The Chairman of the Generalissimo came to Myanmar in person. Does he still remember what he said?"
When Tuozhong saw the young man who had hardly aged at all from more than 20 years ago and even looked younger and more vigorous, he finally believed 100% about the Chairman's appearance in the propaganda portraits and internal documents.
This has not changed at all, no, it has become more majestic. If he didn't clearly know that his real age is not so young, Tuozhong would even think that this young man in his prime is the best in the world.
, "Hua Zhong, work hard and wait until the day Myanmar joins China. I will go to Myanmar to celebrate your meritorious service."
These words were what Tuo Zhong heard last time, more than ten years ago, when he returned to China and was secretly received by Zhang Shusheng. I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.
, "Haha, I didn't expect it to be me. I hope I'm not an uninvited guest."
Zhang Shusheng stepped forward and returned the military salute, jokingly saying that the three of them naturally did not dare to talk to each other. Then he shook hands with Zheng Zhinan and Luo Chengjun one by one, and finally walked up to Tuo Zhong and said with a smile: "Governor Tuo, I
But you fulfilled my promise, and of course, you also completed your task very well and did a good job."
"Chairman, thank you for your hard work. Tuo Zhong has worked for the party, the country, and the chairman. He will never regret it and dare not talk about his achievements." Tuo Zhong stood upright again.
, "Don't be so serious. This time I came to see the first province of our Republic, and also to see you." Zhang Shusheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "I heard that all the hairy boys in your family are in elementary school.
Already."
"Yes, Chairman, Quanzi Hua Anbang is seven years old this year and is in the second grade of elementary school. He is currently studying at Mandalay No. 1 Elementary School." Tuozhong replied gratefully.
"Well, let's do this. I'll listen to you talk about the situation in Myanmar today, hold a meeting, and go around tomorrow to take a look. Then you ask Hua Anbang to take two days off. I need a little guide haha."
After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, he turned around and got into the armored vehicle prepared by the Security Bureau and drove directly to the conference center in the jungle barracks. There, he wanted to see the preparations of the two major forces, the Southeast Asian Front Army and the Provincial Front Army, and then inspect some wars.
Facilities, such as air defense bunkers, air defense positions, airports, and armored units are all under inspection at that time. In addition, after a day of inspections tomorrow, a high-level military meeting will be held before returning to Hanking.
This inspection lasted only two days. It was almost noon after arriving in Hanking just last month. Zhang Shusheng did not eat at the airport. He went directly to a nearby military camp belonging to the Southeast Asian Front Army's security force. The Central Security Bureau and the Special Intelligence Department had already taken over the command. The security mission there.
The armored vehicle passed through the suburbs of Mandalay along the way. The whole Mandalay gave him the feeling that except for some pagodas and old buildings, it was all about the shock of the new city.
It is almost equivalent to the development level of a prefecture-level city in China, and the economic level may be slightly worse. This is enough to show that the results of Tuozhong's more than 20 years of experience in Myanmar are very significant. At least, Mandalay has become the most developed country in Southeast Asia. It is a modern city with the largest population and the highest economic level.
During the colonial period, Burma was poor, broken and backward. After Tuo Zhong came to power in Burma, he relied on the support from the Republic and used Burma's power to coordinate the construction of a unified development. He imitated the mainland's economic development model and vigorously carried out education and social reform, and devoted himself to In terms of economic development, it has achieved very good results.
The first day's itinerary was very simple. After having a meal at the military camp at noon, we mainly listened to military and political reports. In the afternoon, we inspected the air defense project in Manchangle. In the evening, we inspected a radar base and air defense base on the outskirts of Mandalay.
In order not to expose Zhang Shusheng's inspections in advance, these inspections were carried out under extremely confidential circumstances. The soldiers who were close at hand did not expect that the armored vehicle that was slowly passing by them would be sitting in the armored vehicle that was supposed to be in Hanking. The chairman of the committee, who was strategizing, would not have thought that in the brightly lit conference room that he could see when he looked up, the chairman of the committee was discussing military matters with the top brass of the front army.
That night, the "Government" compound of Southeast Asia Province was the residence of Tuo Zhong.
Hua Anbang, who is not yet seven years old, has just watched TV. A domestic urban drama "The metropolitan life in the TV series is still very different from the Mandalay city Hua Anbang knows, which is very attractive to him." When he saw that the time had reached 9 o'clock, he obediently turned off the TV. His father was already waiting for him in the study.
,"dad!"
Hua Anbang has been a very smart and quiet boy since he was a child. Although his mind is very active and he often has many strange and weird ideas, he is not the type to make trouble.[
Mandalay No. 1 Primary School and No. 1 Middle School were built by Myanmar. The teachers are all first-class classrooms sent from China. The teaching equipment is also very good. The curriculum and teaching methods are one of the earliest Southeast Asian schools that are synchronized with the mainland.
"Anbang, I have asked for leave from school for you. Tomorrow dad will take you to meet a very important person." Tuo Zhong called Hua Anbang to the table in the study room. The little guy stood there like a soldier. , not the kind of restrained and oppressed little boy, but a quiet and sensible boy.
,"Um!"
, "This man is very important to my father, our family, and our entire country. He is the most amazing person in the world." Tuozhong said.
"Dad, why is this man the most amazing person?"
Eight-year-old Hua Anbang, although smarter, still can't get around these twists and turns.
"Because he completed the most impossible task. Except for him, no one in this world can do what he did." Tuo Zhong said lightly, but his tone was extremely firm. Although Hua Anbang didn't understand very well, he was obedient. Nod.
Early the next morning, Zhang Shusheng had just finished breakfast in the military camp, and Tuo Zhong was ordered to bring his children to the military camp.
Zhang Shusheng’s arrangement this morning was to inspect the 239th Mountain Division, a mountain division under the 19th Group Army. This mountain field group army commanded by Lieutenant General Wang Jun is the most elite field group army in the Republic and will play a more important role in the Southeast Asian campaign.
The station was located in a mountain 20 kilometers away from Mandalay, and the confidentiality was very high. Zhang Shusheng did not do what he did yesterday, but went deep into the army.
Lieutenant General Wang Jun learned about the Chairman's arrival in Mandalay last night, so he rushed to the guard barracks to meet with Zhang Shusheng that night and reported some of the work of the 19th Group Army.
Since the Japanese themselves have not yet taken action and the Allied forces in the coastal areas of southern Myanmar have not launched a large-scale offensive, Wang Jun is still gathering the entire army group to move south in the near future.
The 239th Division did not receive any news, and the division commander Xiao Keshan was temporarily given a written order personally by the chief of staff of the group army to assign this top task.
The 239th Division is stationed in a mountainous area, which can be regarded as a field camp. The conditions are not good, and they are all tents. However, this living condition is very good compared to those who sleep in the grass in ravines for a long time.
"Didi...,!! Emergency gathering!!"
As soon as the whistle blew, the camp of the well-trained 239th Division became busy. The soldiers did not line up neatly like ordinary troops, but directly entered the bushes in front of the camp in an orderly manner. Looking around, the entire hill
The trees are all dressed in grass green
Soldiers wearing composite camouflage combat uniforms, holding semi-automatic, submachine guns or fully automatic rifles. Each soldier's face is painted with camouflage. In order to be able to fight at all times, they will paint it once they enter the jungle.
Wear camouflage and be ready for battle.
, "Comrades, we have just received an emergency order, and our 239th Division has received a glorious mission.
This mission is not a battle but it is better than a battle because we will be inspected by the Supreme Council of the Republic.
I don’t know who is coming, and I don’t think it’s necessary to resort to fraud to cope with the inspection.
However, I think it is necessary for us to let the representatives of the Supreme Power Committee see the truest side of our 239th Division, see our most high-spirited spirit, see our determination to win, and let them see our 239th Division.
The division brought the fighting determination of our 19th Group Army back to the base camp, reassured the Chairman of the Generalissimo, reassured the people of the country, and trusted us to guard the land of more than two million square kilometers of Southeast Asia.
Brothers, China has never been as glorious as it is today in five thousand years. Neither I nor you are insignificant in this long history because we personally participated in creating great history. We opened up and expanded the territory for the nation and we fought in China.
On the two million square kilometers of newly added land for the nation, we were born at the right time and fought in the right place.
Here, right under my feet, is the provincial land of more than 2 million ordinary kilometers, with our 239th Division.
