"Is that okay?" Looking at the boxes and boxes of 38 rifles unloaded from the truck, the reluctance in Rowling's eyes was vaguely visible. Zhao Zhi ambushed the Japanese convoy at Xiangtangpu, plus the booty captured after taking Ding'an, Luliang and Taiyuan City, by the time Thunder evacuated from Taiyuan, there were more than 6,000 intact 38 rifles transported back to Zhangwu County alone, not counting light and heavy machine guns, grenadiers, mortars and other weapons.

The Jin Sui Army and the Eighth Route Army sent people to Zhangwu County one after another for this batch of weapons, and according to Yu Dazhi's intention, they wanted to exchange these weapons for tobacco and money, but Zhao Zhi ordered all these weapons to be transported to Wan Town. Not only that, Zhao Zhi also plans to provide these weapons to the so-called Burmese guerrillas for free, Rowling is not reluctant to give up the money, she is worried that after the Burmese have weapons in their hands, they may play a three-country war in Burma, which will cause obstacles to the plan formulated by Thunder.

"Don't worry, they don't dare, without our support, they can only become slaves in front of the Japanese" Xu saw Rowling's worry, Zhao Zhi smiled very comfortably, and there was a hint of relaxation in his words. Using the Burmese as the vanguard against the Japanese army, this is a strategy that Zhao Zhi pondered for a long time, Burma is a country with many mountains and few lands, and the proportion of overseas Chinese here is low, if the number of Burmese is reduced to a certain extent, the Chinese will get a certain right to speak in Myanmar, which will only benefit Thunder's future development and control in Myanmar.

Moreover, the Burmese who lived in the mountains were born jungle warriors, and Lai San's battle against the Chuntian squadron just proved all this, and if it weren't for the help of the Burmese in the three-day kilometer blockade battle, Lai San and his two infiltrator squads alone would not be enough for the Japanese army to see. The Japanese are greedy and cold by nature, if the Burmese let the Japanese army control Burma, then they will lose everything, Zhao Zhi provoked a fight between the Burmese and the Japanese army, and provided weapons to the Burmese, to some extent, it can reduce the casualties of the Thunder troops, which can only benefit the Thunder.

"Your price is too great" Rowling's words were slightly dissatisfied, "not only gave them weapons and bullets in vain, but also gave them food, I saw that Mo Lun's face was green" Rowling came to Lashio this time, not only brought more than 3,000 38 rifles, but also brought a batch of food. According to the detailed rules laid down by Zhao Zhi, each soldier of the Burmese guerrillas assembled in Lashio will receive a 38 rifle and 50 rounds of ammunition, in addition, each of them will also receive a bag of 30 kilograms of rice, and these thousands of Burmese guerrillas will cost more than 100 tons of rice in total.

"Look at you guys all stingy, isn't it more than 100 tons of rice? These rice were exchanged from the Burmese people with those inferior liquors, and it didn't cost us a penny" Zhao Zhi rubbed Rowling's hair dotingly, Burmese people are good wine but can't taste good, when Zhao Zhi was busy building Zhangwu County, Mo Lun bought a lot of inferior liquor around Kunming and shipped it to Myanmar. There are dozens of domestic transportation companies serving Leiting's Kunming base, and Mo Lun exchanged liquor for large quantities of rice through the Yunnan-Burma Highway and those transport convoys.

The purpose of Molun's move was to solve the problem of eating millions of people in the Jewish gathering point, and Zhao Zhi knew about the plan to buy grain. Just use daily necessities and liquor to exchange for food, this kind of trade naturally continued, under the impetus of Zhao Zhi, the grain plan changed, while ensuring that the Jews had enough food to survive, a large amount of surplus rice was hoarded into the granary, or Zhao Zhi came from there as military food to support the 50,000 troops into Burma to fight.

"A rifle, 50 rounds of ammunition and 30 kilograms of food are nothing to us, but in the eyes of the Burmese people are very different, and if we fight with the Japanese army in Burma, Burma's food production will definitely be reduced this year. It is impossible for the Japanese army to give food to the Burmese people, but we have a large amount of grain in our hands, so who will they listen to when you say that the Burmese have no rice to cook? ”

"You are a conspirator, I guess when we withdraw from Myanmar to China, you may be preparing to return to Myanmar, otherwise you would not have arranged for Mo Lun to hoard a large number of food and oil" Looking at Zhao Zhi with a pale face, Rowling reached out and twisted the soft meat on Zhao Zhi's waist, but the meat on Zhao Zhi's body was too porcelain, and there was not much difference between twisting it and not twisting it, it was completely the degree of tickling, not as good as mosquito bites.

"I'm not a prophet, who would know that we would fight back to Myanmar, don't wronged me" Zhao Zhi smiled and grabbed Rowling's hand. Of course, Zhao Zhi will not tell Rowling about the fact that he is a traveler, and this secret will always be brought to the grave, and of course Zhao Zhi will not tell Rowling about the National Government's organization of an expeditionary force to fight in Burma, this matter is too unbelievable, and because of the birth of the thunder, the Nationalist Government has not now formed an expeditionary force to enter Burma to fight the Japanese army, even if it is said in a half-sentence, Rowling will only take it as a joke and will not take it seriously.

"Sir, the Burmese guerrillas are here, saying they want to meet you" Luo Ying, who had followed Rowling to Lashio, trotted over, and several Burmese men dressed in black were fiddling with Japanese weapons that had just been unloaded from the truck. The first batch of Burmese guerrillas who arrived at Lashio consisted of only about 1,000 men, and the commander was a Burmese named Hpakant, who was originally a well-known hunter, and when his father-in-law of Tusi fell ill and died, Hpakant took over the title of Tusi, or where did he come from his 1,000 men, who were originally mountain people in his father-in-law's territory.

"General Zhao, thank you for the weapons and food you sent us, with them, we no longer have to be afraid of the beasts in the mountains and those Japanese" Pa Dang can speak fluent Chinese, but the Yunnan flavor in the accent is too strong, Zhao Zhi listened to him twice before he understood the meaning.

"We Thunder have always been good friends of you Burmese, helping you is also helping ourselves, because the Japanese are our common enemy, General Hpakant, am I right?" In order to show his identity, Hpakant, who gathered more than 1,000 Burmese mountain people, after receiving a message from Lei Ting to provide weapons free of charge, did not know where to find a set of British military uniforms to put on his body, and also gave himself the title of major general of the commander of the Burmese guerrilla army.

"Yes, General Zhao is so right, the Japanese are our common enemies, if we don't drive them away, we won't have a good life" Pa Dang shook Zhao Zhi's hand hard, his eyes revealing a thick killing intent. His stockade is close to Mandalay, after the Japanese army occupied Mandalay, not only requisitioned grain and soldiers, but also arbitrarily broke into his stockade to force women, if it weren't for Pa Dang is Tusi, I'm afraid even his wife would have been forced by the Japanese. Now when he mentions the Japanese, Pa Kang's teeth itch with hatred, and he can't wait to carry a gun to fight with the Japanese army right now.

"Don't worry, our Thunder entered Burma to help you drive out the Japanese army, as long as the Japanese army leaves Burma, we Thunder will return to China the same way, and will never interfere in your Burmese affairs. However, I believe that a great hero like General Hpakant will never watch his compatriots starve and suffer after the Japanese army leaves, and I look forward to General Hpakant's position in the new government of Myanmar in the future, so that our cooperation with you in Myanmar can continue" Zhao Zhi's words praising Hpakant made Rowling blush, but Zhao Zhi said it as if it was from the bottom of his heart, which made Hpakant very satisfied.

"What an out-and-out idiot, you can only see the immediate benefits" It was only when Pa Dang left with his heavily armed guerrilla army that Rowling hid the smile on her face. If it weren't for Zhao Zhi's insistence on providing Wang Yongqing and food to them, Luo Lin would rather give these things to Yao Laoyu's Green Forest Alliance than to these Burmese, when she thought of the look that Pa Dang looked at her just now, she couldn't get angry.

"It's stupid, but they are also the best cannon fodder, what's wrong with someone helping us fight the Japanese army" Zhao Zhi smiled and handed the coffee sent by Luo Ying to Luo Lin, "Don't underestimate these Burmese mountain people, once they enter the forest, those scouts under Dazhi will not see much stronger than them." As long as we have 20,000 such Burmese mountain people in our hands, the Japanese army will not be able to take advantage of the northern Burma region at all, and I will turn the mountainous areas of northern Burma into a murderous quagmire, and only by constantly consuming the living strength of the Japanese army can we win the final duel with the Japanese army."

"But we don't have so much ammunition, Mo Lun said that the ammunition in Kunming is only enough for the Jewish army to consume for half a year, and you have transferred some ammunition to Baotou, once our ammunition supply can't keep up, the Japanese army is likely to recapture the territory on the west bank of the Nu River and drive us back to the east bank of the Nu River."

"You don't have to worry about this, the arsenal in Kunming has been producing bullets in three shifts, the British army has several large ammunition secret storage points in Burma, and the British army has more heavy weapons, as long as we can rescue the British officers who were imprisoned by the Japanese army after surrendering, those heavy weapons are ours" The biggest problem Zhao Zhi is facing now is the lack of soldiers, he is not worried about the consumption of ammunition at all, the ammunition hidden in Myanmar in the early stage of Thunder has not been taken out, as long as the Burmese cannon fodder can drag the Japanese army in front, Zhao Zhi had a way to defeat them.

"Okay, I hope your decision to provide weapons to the Burmese is right, otherwise our thunder life will not be easy" Since it was something that Zhao Zhi had already decided, Rowling chose to compromise after a few words, anyway, it was all some loot.
