Zhang Qifu's plan was successfully carried out with the support of the expeditionary force. Zhu Jingxing, who had been promoted to the commander of the secret service company, was sent to assist Zhang Qifu with a company of brothers, and they began distributing various military supplies such as canned luncheon meat, instant noodles, and rice to ordinary Burmese citizens.

Canned luncheon meat is made with pork belly, starch and salt, and although it is extremely salty, it is a great delicacy for the Burmese people, who do not even eat rice a few times a year.

The people of Myanmar did not live well under British colonization. The British, though partially, abolished the privileges of the largest feudal lords. But a large amount of their land and tea plantations became the property of the British royal family. A large amount of royal land, large tracts of wasteland, and forests were leased to the peasants for cultivation and management, and in addition to the heavy work of farming, they also had to bear a large amount of taxes, and the middle and lower classes of the common people were still suffering*.

But that all changed when the expeditionary force arrived. Zhang Qifu led a heavily armed team into the rural areas around Tonggu to carry out pilot projects.

Relying on the military guarantee of the expeditionary force, all the royal lands that had been under British rule were confiscated and distributed according to the population, and no taxes were paid to anyone.

The working group also called on the peasants to take up arms to defend themselves the fruits of their victories, and set up grassroots mass self-government organizations, so that the work was progressing smoothly.

The people at the grassroots level also value practical interests the most, especially when they cannot guarantee their basic livelihood.

The operation in full swing has naturally left the Myanmar Independence Army without a place to live. At the beginning, the two sides tried their best to confront each other, and they were busy fighting openly and secretly.

However, this kind of struggle on the secret front is naturally based on military struggle, and if it were not for the tens of thousands of brothers of the 1st Division on the front line, I am afraid that they would not be able to do it no matter how great their ability is.

With the successive victories of the expeditionary force against the Japanese army, the situation in Burma has changed greatly, which has forced the Burmese independence forces led by Aung San to start reconsidering whether to unite with a new force.

In Aung San's military conference room, a semiconductor radio was turned on on the table, and a Japanese woman's delicate voice came from inside: "On this day, the Imperial Japanese Navy defeated the US Navy in the Battle of Midway, sinking four of its aircraft carriers and inflicting heavy damage on the US Navy's Pacific Combined Fleet, achieving an unprecedented victory. We would like to thank His Majesty the Emperor and the officers and men of the Imperial Navy who fought valiantly......"

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and someone walked in, and Aung San casually turned off the semiconductor radio on the table.

"General, the Japanese have won another great victory in the Pacific, and it seems that an attack on the American mainland is just around the corner." U Thein Win, a confidant of Aung San and one of the important generals of the Independence Army.

"Really?" Aung San smiled coldly, "Do you believe these high-sounding words in propaganda?" As far as I know, the Japanese were defeated in the Pacific Ocean, and the main forces of the naval fleet were already lost. ”

"What? How so?! Wu Dengwen was surprised, he didn't expect that the situation in propaganda and reality would be so different, and more importantly, if Japan's navy continued to fail, then this big tree would not be easy to rely on.

Aung San's brows tightened, "Japan has a narrow land area, although the industry is developed but the raw materials are scarce, and now the navy can have this scale, which was created after many years of accumulation. To put it mildly, if their aircraft carrier is knocked out, there will be one less. Naturally, they cannot be compared with the United States, and in the long run, they are bound to fail. ”

Wu Teng Win was a little surprised when he heard that this came from the mouth of Aung San, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it, he lowered his voice and said, "Then wouldn't we also ......?"

Aung San did not affirm or deny his words, but said slowly, "I am thinking about the future of Myanmar." ”

Wu Dengwen was a little overwhelmed, after all, this thought made him difficult to accept all of a sudden, and he was very uncomfortable with the sudden change. "By the way, what happened to the expeditionary force's entry into the village? I've heard that it's going to be a lot of trouble in the Tonggu area, and it has the intention of replacing us? Aung San asked with a change of subject.

Speaking of this, Wu Dengwen's face became even more difficult to look at, his head shook like a rattle, and he sighed: "The situation is not very good. I really don't understand that the Chinese send people to go deep into the rural areas, distribute food and medicine to the common people, give them free medical treatment, and also engage in land distribution, and do not pay taxes. To tell the truth, they have won the hearts of the people. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Tengwin stepped forward and continued: "Now that our working group goes down, they will even make a small report to the expeditionary force, and a working group we sent from Yangon a few days ago was arrested by the expeditionary force. ”

"Caught? All killed? Aung San was amazed.

"Not really. The people of the expeditionary force gave our people good food and drink, and gave them lessons every day, talking about the evils of Japan and Britain and the United States, and about the root cause of poverty in Burma. Wu Dengwen said that these feelings were quite a headache.

Hearing this, Aung San couldn't help but ponder, there are many high-ranking people in the expeditionary army, and these means are very affordable, and for the poor people, this is more useful than any kind of talk.

"What else did they say?" Aung San asked again.

"The person who came back also said......" U Teng Win stopped talking, but when Aung San asked urgently, he simply said: "I also said that I hope you can hold talks with the expeditionary force, and don't be confused by the Japanese, who can't grow ...... anymore."

Speaking of this, Wu Dengwen's words changed, "Of course, I have already put these people in prison for quarantine and review. If you dare to bewitch the army, it will naturally not end well. ”

Aung San nodded, "These people haven't been in contact with anyone else since they came back, have they?" ”

Wu Dengwen thought about it, first shook his head, and then suddenly realized: "By the way, Deputy Commander Min Ang interrogated them, but the time was very short, and it was almost enough for any interrogation. ”

"It's broken!" Aung San scratched his head, "Quickly bring up the man who persuaded me to join the Chinese, and I will take him to General Watanabe Takayuki." ”

Wu Teng Wen didn't know why, but Aung San didn't have time to explain to him, he said bluntly, "It's been so long since people come back, I haven't even gone to find Watanabe Takayuki, and Min Aung must have gone there." What this person said, what information he brought, Watanabe Takayuki naturally knew everything, he came to me for a long time, he must have known it for a long time, and quickly brought the person up. ”

Hearing him say this, Wu Dengwen naturally understood what was at stake. However, he did not agree with Aung San's approach.

"Commander, wouldn't it be a self-confess to send someone to meet Takayuki Watanabe at this time?"

A sentence reminded Aung San, who calmed down and thought about it: "You are right, I was too careless just now and almost made a big mistake." ”

He sat for a moment and then asked, "What do you think?" ”

Wu Dengwen thought for a while and said: "We are doing this too obviously, it is better to hold a trial or a shooting tomorrow, please come and observe Watanabe Takashi before, first, it can eliminate our slack in recent days, and second, it can let Watanabe Takayuki take a look and express our determination." ”

Aung San thought so, nodded and agreed, "Okay, just do as you say." ”

In the afternoon, Aung San sent an invitation to Takayuki Watanabe and some Japanese generals, inviting them to attend the trial the next day. Takayuki Watanabe and others said that they would definitely go.

Although Watanabe Takayuki is not a high military rank, he is the emperor of Burma. Weapons, provisions, and personnel training in the hands of the Independence Army all need to pass through his hands. Aung San also communicated with the Japanese side mostly through Takayuki Watanabe.

That night, Aung San quietly went to the prison and visited the arrested young cadres, one of whom was Cha Liangfu, the representative who lobbied him to join the Chinese.

Twenty-seven-year-old Zaryoon University, a graduate of Yangon University, has been committed to Burma's independence and freedom, and has been involved in the rebellion against British rule since his school.

Not long ago, he took his working group to the Tonggu region to plan an independence movement, but he was ambushed by the expeditionary force. After being captured, Zhang Qifu of the expeditionary force personally interviewed him. At first, he scoffed and shouted, "Kill him."

However, under Zhang Qifu's lobbying later, there has been a lot of improvement. After he came back, his thoughts were very fluctuating, is it really as Zhang Qifu said, the Japanese are to enslave Burma, and the Japanese will not last long? He didn't know the answers, but he would report back on the situation over there, and what awaited him was quarantine review.

This is nothing, after all, he has been captured by the enemy, and this is also a normal procedure, but this level is five or six days, which can't help but make him a little flustered.

Until this night, someone came to interrogate, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the commander Aung San.

"General Aung San!" Zha Liangcai stood up and shouted excitedly.

Aung San smiled and said to him with a very considerate hand: Please sit down.

"General Aung San, I finally see you in person!" Zha Liangcai still couldn't hide his excitement,

"Good talent." When Aung San saw that he was still standing, he stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down, his tone was cold, but the subtle movements were very warm.

"Okay, General Aung San, I'm so excited to see you in person." Zha Liangcai kept rubbing his hands, with a recurring smile on his face, and he looked excited like that.

Aung San, however, had a calm face, and asked calmly and seriously, "Are you willing to give everything you have for the future of Myanmar?" ”
