Beiyang reactionaries

Duan Xun looked at the content of the document, and there were too many, so I asked Chen Bulei to briefly summarize it.

"First: Myanmar borrowed 5000 million RMB from my country."

"Second: Help the Myanmar Independence Army train a division of the army."

"Third: Explore the lead-zinc-silver belt in Shan State, Myanmar, invest in the construction of Nanyang Ore Group, and mine lead, zinc, and silver here."

"Fourth: my country leases the Coco Islands for 30 years at a price of 30 US dollars a year. And as the situation changes in the future, this price can continue to be negotiated."

"Fifth: Agree with the China-Myanmar railway plan proposed by our country, and plan it immediately after the war is over."

"Sixth: The Ministry of Education of my country recognizes the academic qualifications of Myanmar, and Chinese universities reserve [-] places for studying abroad for Myanmar students every year."

Chen Bulei summarized the content of the treaty and reported it to Duan Xun.

The content of the cooperation between the two parties is actually very simple.

Economically, China gave Myanmar a loan.The main reason is that after the new Burmese government was established, Bhamo had no money at all.How can a new government operate without money, so it borrowed 5000 million RMB from China.Myanmar, on the other hand, handed over resource exploitation in northern Myanmar, which is Shan State controlled by the new Bamo government, to China.At the same time, Myanmar hopes that China will help Myanmar train its troops.

Whether it is Thailand or Myanmar, they all know a little bit.That is, in this era, if you have a gun, you are the grass head king. As long as you have an army in your hands, you can negotiate with anyone.Only when you truly own the army yourself will others cooperate with you.

Therefore, Myanmar hopes that China will help them train a division of the army, including the burden of arms for this unit.

Then there is educational cooperation.

The current education in Myanmar cannot be said to be very good. In the past, students from Myanmar were all studying in the UK.After all, Burma was a British colony at the time.Later, after Bhamo cooperated with Japan, some students from Myanmar began to study in Japan.

Now it's changed again.

Bhamo knows that there will be more and more cooperation between Myanmar and China in the future.After meeting with Duan Xun, Ba Mo went back and thought a lot, and had discussions with several bigwigs of the Burmese government.Everyone believes that Myanmar is a very important part of China's future strategy.As Duan Xun said, Myanmar is likely to become one of the important countries for China's import and export.

Therefore, a large number of talents dealing with China will be needed in the future.

Bhamo has even begun to consider post-war issues, so he is willing to send more talents to study in China.Learn Chinese culture and accumulate contacts in China.It will be better to deal with China in the future.

The same is true for China.

For international students, China will not refuse.The so-called "cultural invasion", foreign students are the most important part.In the future, if Asian students are proud to study in China, then Chinese cultural influence will directly cover Asia.Even China can be like the United States, recruiting talents from all over the world to use them for themselves.

Of course, compared to these, China has also got one of the most important things.

It is also China's first overseas military base.

Koko Islands in Myanmar.

The location of Coco Islands is very good.The Coco Islands border the Andaman Sea to the east, the Andaman-Nicobar Islands of India to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the west.There is a naval base here that can directly monitor the actions of the Indian Navy.It is also able to directly monitor those ships passing through the Straits of Malacca.

Of course the Koko Islands are not under the control of Myanmar now.But when Myanmar became independent after the war, the Koko Islands were the islands of Myanmar.In fact, Duan Xun is more optimistic about the Andaman Islands, but it is not easy to control this place.Compared to Coco Islands, it is much easier.

"Add one."

Chen Bulei immediately picked up the pen.

Duan Xun said: "The current situation in Myanmar is chaotic. For the sake of the economy of both sides, the trade between China and Myanmar is settled in RMB. my country will open a China-Myanmar trade office in Kunming, so that Myanmar trade representatives can negotiate with China in Kunming. All the materials needed can be imported from Kunming.”

"Yes."

"I agree with the other terms. Tell Vice Chairman Li to sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Duan Xun half-lyed on the chair and rested with his eyes closed.

During the time in Nanjing, meeting with the leaders of Southeast Asian countries in turn, and fighting wits with Hideki Tojo made Duan Xun quite exhausted.Duan Xun meets with these people every day during the day to formulate a general direction.

At night, I have to read the telegrams from Beijing and review the contracts signed in Nanjing.

In a daze, Duan Xun found that someone called him.Duan Xun opened his eyes and found that Chen Bulei had come to him.Duan Xun looked at his watch, unexpectedly, with a simple squint, more than an hour passed.

"Where are you?"

"Pass Baoding."

"That will be soon."

Duan Xun sat up and allowed himself to move around.Chen Bulei whispered: "Chairman, a telegram from Beijing. The chairman of the Indian Muslim League, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, contacted our people and proposed to visit Beijing. Vice Chairman Dai (Dai Kan) asked the chairman's meaning , how to respond."

"Muhammad Jinnah wants to visit Beijing?"

"Yes."

"Call back, tell Vice Chairman Dai, and agree to Jinnah's request."

On September 1941, 9, the "Sino-Myanmar Cooperation Agreement" was officially signed.

Some of the content of the agreement is published, and some are confidential.This kind of agreement will have some secret agreements, and it is not easy for the outside world to know.With the signing of the "China-Myanmar Cooperation Agreement", China has successively signed various cooperation agreements with Thailand and Myanmar during this period.

Although there were some setbacks in this Asian joint meeting, it was a success on the whole.Much of what China wants is in its hands.

And it mainly strengthened the cooperation with Thailand and Myanmar.

Of course, Japan has basically achieved its goal.The first goal of Hideki Tojo's coming to this meeting is to stabilize China, and this goal has been achieved.After the Asia Joint Conference, Japan announced its support for the establishment of an interim government in the southern part of North Korea.From now on, the provisional government preparatory office will be formed, and the government inauguration ceremony will be held on January 1942, 1 in the Western calendar.

Japan is very happy to state that one year later, on January 1943, 1, Japan will withdraw the troops of a division currently on the Korean Peninsula.Two years later, on January 1, 1944, Japan would once again withdraw a division of troops.In other words, after two years, Japan will not have regular field troops on the Korean peninsula.

Once again, Japan reaffirms its support for the pursuit of liberation and independence by the nations of Asia.

At the same time, Japan and those countries in Southeast Asia negotiated again, asking them to fully support Japan's Burma campaign.Japan is preparing for the second Battle of Myitkyina and requires all countries to send migrant workers as transport troops.Mainly to deliver supplies to the Japanese army on the front line.

Negotiations went well.

Although the countries were unwilling, they agreed to Japan under the pressure of Japan.Southeast Asian countries decided to form a transport force to provide support for Japan's second Myitkyina campaign.

At this time, Duan Xun received the "All India Muslim League" in Beijing, that is, Mohammad Jinnah, the chairman of the Indian Muslim League.

"Chairman Jinnah, please."

"Thank you, Chairman Duan."

Mohammad Jinnah, 64 years old this year, is not young.Jinnah was admitted to Bombay University when he was 16 years old.However, he did not study at the University of Mumbai, but went to study law at Lincoln's Inn, London, England.Jinnah was gifted and bright since he was a child, and he completed all the courses in two years.However, the British regulations at that time could only be qualified as a lawyer after completing four years of study, so Jinnah stayed in the UK for another two years, and obtained the qualification as a lawyer at the age of 20.

Jinnah returned to India with a senior lawyer qualification certificate and opened a law firm in Mumbai.Jinnah's extraordinary eloquence and profound knowledge soon made him famous, known as the "Titan" of the legal profession.He later turned to politics, first in the Indian National Congress.In the Indian National Congress, he quickly became a cadre of the National Congress by virtue of his outstanding ability.

Jinnah was a Muslim, so after rising to fame, he was soon elected as a member of the Central Legislative Assembly by Muslims in Mumbai.Jinnah later joined the Muslim organization, now known as the All India Muslim League.Because of Jinnah's fame, Jinnah became the chairman of the All-India Muslim League just three years after joining the All-India Muslim League.In this position, what he called most was the cooperation of Hinduism and Muslims.

In India, vendettas between Hinduism and Muslims occur frequently, and even large-scale killings of tens of thousands of people at one time are not uncommon.So Jinnah began to appeal, calling on India's Hindus and Muslims to unite and fight for India's independence.In this process, Jinnah gradually became one of the leaders of the Indian National Liberation Movement.
