The second update is !!

………………………………

In the primeval jungle on the border between China and Myanmar. A regiment of the Wehrmacht was stationed here. This is the settlement of the Dai people. Before the arrival of the Wehrmacht, it was ruled by bandits. The common people of the Dai nationality have been severely exploited and oppressed. The lives of ordinary people are extremely difficult. Although it belongs to the Yunnan region, whether it is the reign of Tang Jiyao or the later reign of Long Yun in Yunnan, there is a lack of attention to the ethnic minorities on the edge of these borders. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a group of bandits of about 1,000 people to control the dozens of Dai villages around them.

The 117th Regiment of the National Defense Forces, under the orders of the division headquarters, came to garrison this area to clean up local relations, reconnoiter the movements of the handsome in Burma, and prevent the British from attacking the Chinese border. However, because of the language barrier between the Wehrmacht and the Dai people, coupled with the bandits' slander against the Wehrmacht, the Wehrmacht was seriously resisted by the Dai people in the early days of its arrival, and the Dai people looked at the Wehrmacht with hatred and even had bloody clashes many times. Although the internal discipline of the Wehrmacht is strict, many soldiers have not been in the army for a long time, and military discipline naturally cannot be compared with those veterans who have been ideologically edified. As a result, there have also been several instances of soldiers in the IDF targeting civilians. The contradictions between the two sides in the early stage were extremely acute, and if it were not for the death order issued by the commander of the 117th Regiment at a critical moment not to shoot at the common people, I am afraid that this Dai cottage within a radius of 100 miles would have been devastated by the Wehrmacht. After all, the military is an institution of state violence, and its own justice is measured by national interests. The southwestern border is already very turbulent because of ethnic issues, and the ethnic minorities are often repulsive to the Han people, coupled with the infiltration and demagogy of Western forces, which makes the Shaoshuai ethnic group alienate the Han people, and the influence of the Han people on the border has been weakened a lot. In this context, many ethnic minorities are hostile to the Han Chinese military. Violent resistance to the government. There are even some important ethnic minority leaders who have extraordinary armaments and control a certain territory, and exist like an independent kingdom. In the face of such a situation, the Wehrmacht will act at the first opportunity, and will absolutely not be merciful, and anyone who wants to encrust on the sovereignty of the national territory will inevitably be dealt the harshest blow by the Wehrmacht.

Although the common people here resist the Wehrmacht, they are only some bewitched people, and they live in extreme poverty. For these people, once the Wehrmacht slaughters, regardless of the outcome, the Wehrmacht's reputation in this area will be discredited. In China, the ethnic question has always been the most troublesome issue for rulers. Because the national question can easily be exploited by people with good intentions and become the source of national unrest. As for China's ethnic policy, Feng Yong basically followed the set of the later republics. However, the only difference between Feng Yong's Beijing government and ethnic policy is that it respects the beliefs and traditions of independent ethnic groups and allows regional ethnic autonomy, but abolishes the prohibition of intermarriage between ethnic groups and Han Chinese or other ethnic groups in the name of protecting ethnic groups.

Feng Yong believes that with the strong integration power of the Han nationality, I am afraid that in a few years, there will be only the Han nationality left in China. Although this is unfair to other ethnic groups with a long heritage, it is indeed the best way for China to resolve ethnic disputes. Only China has only one nationality, and the so-called ethnic disputes will disappear. Of course, Feng Yong also knows that this kind of policy of national integration cannot be completed in a few years or a dozen years. Perhaps it will be difficult for Feng Yong to see the complete success of this policy in his life.

On the Sino-Burmese border, after several clashes with the Dai people, the 117th Regiment finally found an interpreter who was proficient in Chinese and Dai languages, and promoted the central government's policies in the Dai cottages, indicating that the national defense forces were here to garrison, not to collect taxes. These actions have achieved some results, and although the common people have stopped attacking the Wehrmacht, they are skeptical of the Wehrmacht's words about protecting the safety of the Dai people. ..., seeing that the people of the Dai nationality calmed down, Qian Dagen, the head of the 117th regiment, finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the two sides do clash, he can't guarantee that he won't use thunderous measures. In the past two years, in the Wehrmacht campaign, his unit has killed a lot of people. He is a rude man with little culture, who can become the commander of the National Defense Corps step by step from a rookie, in addition to the rapid expansion of the National Defense Force, he also relies on real military merits. Moreover, Qian Dagen was born in a peasant, his family was already poor, and he had sympathy for the common people who had vegetables on their faces, so he issued an order not to shoot at the common people. Otherwise, if the murderous commander is changed, he will definitely not be as kind as Qian Dagen, after all, Ci is not in charge of the army. What's more, now that the border situation is tense, Burma, as a British colony, is likely to be the front line of the Sino-British conflict, so there must be no room for any unstable factors here. In order to obtain peace on the national border, what is it to kill a few Diao people who attack the army and disrupt the order of the border. This is the army, and it is much easier for the army to kill a person than a chicken.

"Captain Qian, I've already found out. The reason why the local Dai people attacked us was because they were threatened by the Black Cloud Village of Biyun Mountain, ten miles away. The interpreter walked in with a heavy face.

"Biyun Mountain, Heiyun Village, what a mess." Qian Dagen glared and asked him to say something useful.

"Commander Qian, there is a mountain located on the Sino-Burmese border ten miles away from here, this mountain is just pressed on the border between the two sides, so both China and Myanmar lack control over this place, and later this place was occupied by a gang of bandits, after several years of development, this bandit has developed to about 1,000 people, controlling the area of China and Myanmar within a radius of 100 miles, and all the Dai and Burmese people in this area are their slaves, and they have to suffer from their cruel exploitation. And the reason why you are resisted by the local people is because Heiyunzhai has released a word that the National Defense Force is here to exploit the local Dai people. If the people don't resist, they will have to pay two taxes, one for them in Heiyun Village and one for the National Defense Army, and the Dai people will really not be able to live. The common people believed it. They didn't dare to resist in Heiyun Village, which had accumulated prestige for a long time, and could only bully us who had just arrived. The translator said.

In the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, China's national strength was weak and its national sovereignty was seriously eroded. Burma, which was controlled by the British, invaded China many times and plundered. If it weren't for the troops who were afraid of Tang Jiyao later, I am afraid that the whole of Yunnan would have been invaded on a large scale by Western forces long ago. Even so, during World War I, Britain included vast swaths of southwestern China in its secret colonial system, hoping to annex southwestern China after the war in order to restore the national power damaged by the war. Unfortunately, before the end of the First World War, China became a relatively powerful country at the speed of a rocket, and the already almost fictitious border line immediately became meaningful. Both sides want to re-explore the borders and live more profitably.

"It's a gang of bandits? Damn it. Lao Tzu came here from the northeast, and the last thing he was afraid of was bandits. Qian Dagen said with a disdainful face. If you want to talk about bandits, the Northeast is the ancestor of bandits. The top bandits can easily mobilize tens of thousands of people to form an army. At that time, the three major bandit leaders in the Northeast were much more famous than Marshal Feng Delin and Marshal Zhang Zuolin. Even the two veteran commanders who have heavy troops in the Northeast dare not underestimate the three bandit giants. Compared with those real green forest bosses, the southwest bandits are not on the table at all. This also has something to do with the cultural differences between the North and the South. The north is rough, the south is gentle. The gas volume pattern is naturally different. Therefore, in history, there are often heroes in the north who swallow mountains and rivers and dominate the whole country, but there are more literati and talented scholars in the south, which is the difference in character caused by local culture. …,

"Commander Qian, you can't underestimate Heiyun Village, this is a primeval jungle, they are familiar with the terrain, and they have a lot of weapons and equipment. I heard that it was bought from the British in Burma. If we really want to fight, we may suffer a big loss if we are not used to jungle warfare. The translator whispered.

"Yes, Commander. Jungle warfare is a university question, and we have not undergone separate training in this area, so we will suffer great losses if we act rashly. Ji Cong, political commissar of the 117th regiment, said in a deep voice.

"What then? If we don't eradicate this gang of bandits, it will be even more difficult for us to unfold the situation on the ground, let alone deal with the ensuing crisis. Qian Dagen scratched his head and said.

"I think we can gather guides from the local Dai people. In the final analysis, these Dai people are the masters who have lived here for generations, and these bandits are just magpie nest doves. Qian Cong thought about it and said.

"Yes, head of the regiment, when I was communicating with the villagers, the Dai people were full of fear and hatred for Heiyun Village, Heiyun Village has harmed the people here in recent years, and the people have long hated them. If we explain to him that we will clean up Heiyun Village, we will definitely be able to gain the support of some Dai people, and we will have these Dai people as guides. The surrounding primeval jungle environment has greatly reduced the constraints on us, so it is much more convenient for us to send troops to Biyun Mountain. He was the person in charge of communication, and his words naturally made Qian Dagen nod.

"That's it, I'm going to rearm for war. The matter of the guide will be left to you and the commissar. "Although Qian Dagen has no culture, he is an extremely decisive person, and after determining the idea, he will carry it out in a reliant manner.

Things turned out to be as everyone expected, after the Wehrmacht explained its intentions, it did make some Dai people believe it, but they were oppressed and did not fully believe in the Wehrmacht, and more Dai people still looked at the Wehrmacht. Although there are few people who support it, it is completely enough to be a guide.

On the same day, the 117th Regiment did not stop, and immediately set off with dozens of guides and headed towards Biyun Mountain. The bandits who have been threatening the China-Myanmar border for nearly a decade have ushered in the day of the end.
