Beiyang reactionaries

He couldn't keep up with Duan Xun's thinking at all, so Bamo was more thinking about it and didn't interrupt.At this time, Duan Xun continued: "Prime Minister Bhamo, take a look at this map. Have you seen any advantages in Myanmar?"

Ba Mo stretched out his head to look at the map Duan Xun took out.

It was found that it was a map of Nanyang, and it was drawn in more detail in Myanmar.In particular, some lines are drawn on the map.Bhamo used to be a high-level intellectual, and later served as the Prime Minister of Myanmar and the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Independence Army. A simple map is understandable.Knowing that the line drawn by Duan Xun is a railway sign, it started from Yunnan, China and went all the way to the port of Myanmar.Looking at the railway, Bamo suddenly understood.

Therefore, he said: "Chairman Duan wants to make Myanmar a channel for China's imports and exports?"

"Correct."

Duan Xun nodded.

He said happily: "The biggest advantage of Myanmar is not the possession of jade, rich forestry resources, or good agricultural resources. The biggest advantage of Myanmar is its good geographical location and long coastline. At present, China's exports to Europe Whether the goods depart from the ports of our country, or export to Vietnam by using the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway, or depart from the Vietnamese ports, they all have to bypass the Strait of Malacca, which can be said to be a big circle. Once our two countries have reached a cooperation, Lay several Yunnan-Myanmar railways and Yunnan-Myanmar highways to connect the traffic between the two countries. Then our country can use these railways and highways, and use your country’s ports to complete the import and export of materials. In this way, our country can save a lot Time, by the way, to develop our country's southwest economy. And your country uses these roads and railways to obtain a large amount of tolls and develop ports. Your country can also use these transportation lines to develop the domestic economy. More importantly, such traffic Construction will make the economies of our two countries more closely linked. Not to mention anything else, the jade, forestry resources, and agricultural resources mentioned by Prime Minister Bamo can be sold to us in large quantities by using these transportations. This is good for both of us. Things, this is a win-win situation. As for the laying of roads and railways, China can lend money to the Myanmar government to help Myanmar complete its infrastructure.”

Bahmer looked at the map and thought.

What Duan Xun said is indeed very reasonable.But Ba Mo is not a fool, Duan Xun has finished talking about the economy.But Bhamo knows how China can only consider it economically.

When Duan Xun talked about the geographical location of Myanmar, Bhamo began to think about it.

geographical location, strategic position.

Myanmar is close to India and can contain India by land.At the same time, those ports in Myanmar are directly connected to the Indian Sea. Once they are used for other purposes, they can directly affect the Indian Ocean.Affecting the Indian Ocean, it can not only deter India, but even radiate to Africa.

Seeing Bamo lost in thought, Duan Xun didn't speak.

After waiting for a while, Duan Xun said again: "In fact, I have always had an idea, that is to lay a Trans-Asian Railway. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Malayan Peninsula, if it can go to West India China, Bhutan, Nepal, and Sikkim can all be connected. Once all these places are connected by railways, the links between Asian countries and Asian nations can be strengthened. Let everyone’s economy develop together.”

"Chairman Duan, your idea is very great."

Bamo nodded slowly.

Talking to Duan Xun today, Bamo was really shocked.Sure enough, a big country is a big country. Under the current chaotic situation, Duan Xun actually thought so much.

"No, no, no. There is only one thing I believe in the most all the time, and that is win-win cooperation. Only through win-win cooperation can everyone's cooperation last for a long time. I hope that all Asian countries will become rich, so that the products produced in our country Only then can we sell it to everyone, and we can make a lot of money. If all Asian countries and ethnic groups are poor, who will we sell our products to? Even if it is for ourselves, I must support the development of Asian countries. Bahmo Prime Minister, I am very much looking forward to Myanmar's playing an important role in our future Asian co-prosperity development strategy."

After Duan Xun finished speaking, he looked at Bahmo.

The olive branch Duan Xun has already thrown out, and whether Bamo takes it or not will affect Duan Xun's attitude towards Bamo.Anyway, Myanmar is not the only leader of the national liberation movement in Bhamo.Bahmo can't do it, and another person will cooperate.

Ba Mo is also a smart person, and he immediately understood what Duan Xun meant.

But he hesitated and said: "Chairman Duan, but Burma is still fighting, I..."

"Prime Minister Bamo, I look forward to a win-win cooperation between Myanmar and us in the future. If Prime Minister Bamo is willing, I can promise you one thing here. As long as this war ends, whether it is the victory of the Axis Powers in Germany, Italy and Japan, or The victory of the British, American and Soviet anti-fascist camps, I guarantee that Myanmar will be independent and guarantee the sovereignty and integrity of Myanmar. No matter what power it is, it cannot prevent Myanmar’s independence. And I can also guarantee that after Myanmar’s independence, I will only recognize Prime Minister Bamo A new Burmese government has been established."

"Chairman Duan, can you really guarantee it?"

"Of course. Myanmar will be our country's best ally in the future, and I hope that Prime Minister Bhamo can also become our country's best friend."

"Prime Minister, the news just came. The heads of state of China, Thailand and Myanmar jointly issued the 'China-Thailand-Myanmar Treaty of Friendship'. It contains issues about the temporary capital of Myanmar, as well as economic cooperation and military cooperation."

"What is the specific content?"

Asian Union Conference.

The foreign ministers of various countries discussed the purpose of this Asian joint meeting, and the ministers of various countries discussed how to cooperate, including economic and political cooperation.Of course, it does not include military cooperation.

Hideki Tojo is very busy these days.

Because such an opportunity is rare, it is not easy for so many heads of state to gather together.He first raided China and the Republic of Korea, blocking the possibility of China and North Korea wanting to use the Korean Peninsula as a problem.The next step is to prepare to integrate the governments of Nanyang and concentrate everyone's strength to attack the British and Indian troops.Japan understands that the governments of those Southeast Asian countries each have their own little ideas, and they will not be completely of one mind with themselves.

After all, no one likes to be controlled.

The current leaders of the governments of Nanyang countries were all leaders of the national liberation movements in their countries in the past.Those of them have always been committed to national liberation and national independence.The reason why those people choose to cooperate with Japan is because Japan guarantees that they can get rid of colonization and gain independence from the colonization of European and American countries.It is precisely because of Japan's guarantee that they will choose to cooperate with Japan.

The results of it?

Independence is independence, but it is only superficial independence, independence in name, not real independence at all.Various departments of the new government, including the violent military and police, have Japanese advisers.It is called a consultant by euphemism, but it actually holds the power of the army and police.And after these new governments are established, they will sign contracts with Japan.A lot of power needs to be handed over to Japan so that it can get the support of the Japanese government.

This made the leaders of the new government very dissatisfied.

It's just that the Japanese are very powerful now, so they dare not resist, and they can only rely on Japan to expel Europe and the United States.But if they dare not resist, they dare not resist. They still engage in soft confrontation and do not want to be completely attached to Japan.This is unacceptable to Hideki Tojo.

The current Japan needs everyone to unite and use the power of those Southeast Asian countries.So Hideki Tojo is mainly busy with this matter these days.

"Thailand promised to withdraw its troops from Lashio and return Lashio to the Myanmar government. The Myanmar government recognized Thailand's special rights in the Jingdong area and was willing to allow the Thai people in the Jingdong area to gain more autonomy. And Myanmar The government has decided to place the capital of the new government in Lashio."

Luang Phibun Songkham calls himself Thailand, and these countries controlled by Japan call him that.It is not called "Siam" like other countries.

"Lashio?"

Hideki Tojo frowned looking at the map of Myanmar.

Although Lashio is currently controlled by Thailand, when Lashio was captured, the Japanese army was the main force.It's just that the Japanese army launched the Battle of Myitkyina later, transferred all the troops here, and handed them over to Thailand for control.Unexpectedly, Thailand handed over Lashio to the new Burmese government in this way.

And Bahmer the bastard.

At present, the new Myanmar government has not been fully established, it should be said that it is in the final stage.Unexpectedly, Bhamo decided to form a new Burmese government in Lashio.Originally, Japan hoped that the new Myanmar government of Bhamo would be placed in Yangon, or Mandalay.However, Bahmo did not discuss with Japan, so he wanted to regard Lashio as the capital.

Hideki Tojo thought for a while and said, "Why did China, Thailand and Myanmar suddenly negotiate, and Thailand decided to give up Lashio? Didn't Luang Phibun Songkham want to complete his 'Great Thailand'? Let How can he complete his 'Great Thailand' without Lashio?"

"Is it Zhina who is in the middle?"

Gu Zhengzhi replied.

Gu Zhengyu, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, the director of the Japanese Intelligence Bureau, is the head of Japanese intelligence.Immediately said: "The last time Luang Phibun Songkham visited Beijing, he reached a series of agreements with China. There are cooperation in all aspects of politics, economy, and military. Two days ago, Myanmar Prime Minister Bamo and Duan Xun met, and they did not agree. I know what agreement was reached. The three countries sat down to cooperate this time.”

"Is there any other cooperation content?"

"The announcements are mainly about economic cooperation. The most important one is that China, Thailand and Myanmar will cooperate to build a railway. It will start from Kunming in China to Lashio in Myanmar, and then to Qingming in Thailand. Mai."

"This railway is estimated to be more than 1500 kilometers long?"

"Not too much."

"More than 1500 kilometers, the geographical environment of Myanmar and Thailand, it is impossible to lay such a railway without two to three billion US dollars. Have they mentioned the specific laying plan?"

"Have."

Gu Zhengzhi immediately said: "According to the contract signed by the three countries, China, Thailand and Myanmar will cooperate to establish the Asian Railway Group, and China will mainly pay for it. Send people to start surveying this railway line and formulate a laying plan. Within two years Finish the survey and finish the laying within five years. They hope to finish laying the railway and officially complete the access by 1949."

"Zina is really rich and powerful."

Tojo Hideki snorted coldly.

At the time of the current world war, China still has spare capacity to plan such a large-scale railway construction.
