    Chapter 1060: Storms in Southeast Asia

    The Bhamo negotiations in northern Myanmar ended in failure. The British sent a small role, and he was a very arrogant and ignorant guy. Lord George, the governor of northern Myanmar sent by the Governor of Myanmar, was a fool at heart.  In the eyes of the Chinese, he is a greedy and stupid guy.  (Baidu search,)

    Although Tang Qiuli didn't take such people seriously, he still felt insulted in his heart. His identity was equivalent to that of the deputy head of state and the number two figure of the Republic of China, even if it was due to equality of status.  According to the basic principles of diplomacy, the British should at least be the Governor-General of Burma, the Marquis Ebsen.

    Rather than a small role like George, the British despised the Chinese from the bottom of their hearts, which made Tang Qiuli feel sad and very angry. China, which has been poor and weak for a hundred years, has been in turmoil for a hundred years. In the eyes of the great powers, it is a piece of cake.  Tang Qiuli mobilized the reconnaissance troops of five regiments to form an overseas combat group together with the special operations detachment to fight across the border against the Japanese, British and puppet troops. In principle, this was based on a strategic sense.  Thinking about it, from the heart, it is not a kind of revenge.

    Such retaliation was fierce and direct. More than 40,000 elite troops from each regiment, a special operations unit, led a regiment-sized reconnaissance force to carry out violent attacks on all targets in Southeast Asia. The scale of the battle was comparable to that of a  A medium-sized battle was just scattered across thousands of kilometers of borders and was not as massive as a concentrated force.

    Moreover, the battlefield was outside the country and had no impact on the country at all. In South China in early October 1939, an interesting phenomenon occurred. On the Southeast Asian side of the southern and southwest border lines, artillery fire and smoke filled the air. China  On one side of the country, the situation was calm and the people's lives were stable, not affected by the war abroad at all.

    The British suffered greatly, and the remaining Japanese troops were even more embarrassed. According to the agreement reached by Shuichi Kobayashi, commander of the 97th Japanese Division, and General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British troops in Burma, the Chinese Army was formed for the Chinese Army.  The British, Japanese and Canadian puppet forces were no match for the *** division troops.

    Several head-to-head battles broke the spirit of the coalition forces. The British were unable to hold on at first and retreated deep into Southeast Asia. The Japanese army, which had seen the power of the Japanese division and had been beaten many times, was reduced to pieces.  Rushing into the virgin forest to avoid the fate of being wiped out, as for the puppet troops, the locals, the resistance was realized to be more tenacious than the British and Japanese troops.

    However, with the equipment and training level of the puppet army, and the quality of the soldiers, they could not even advance a single round in front of the elite troops mobilized by the Japanese Army. By mid-October, the Japanese troops who frequently harassed the garrison of each corps were destroyed after several times.  After the sexual assault, the remaining 2,000 people had already run into the virgin forest, not even daring to show their faces. They probably could only become lonely ghosts, wandering in a strange land in a foreign country.

    In fact, the participating troops of the ** Division have controlled areas dozens of kilometers deep on the border between China and Southeast Asia. Faced with such a passive situation everywhere, the British realized the seriousness of the problem. Although Tang Qiuli's troops did not attack  The British Imperial Army officially started the war, but the fact is that the British army could no longer withstand the Chinese Army's attack on the border.

    The British troops stationed in Vietnam and Laos have mobilized more than half of their troops, but they cannot stop the attack of the Chinese Army. This is an undeclared war.  In the outpost battle of the Southeast Asian Campaign, although the target of the attack was the Japanese army, the British, who were ignorant of current affairs and arrogant, also suffered.

    In desperation, the British raised the banner of protest again. Letters of protest flew to the Chongqing government like a snowflake. Including the British mainland and British colonial institutions in Southeast Asia, they all sent letters of protest with fierce words. Commissar Chiang Kai-shek  The commander was able to keep his composure and kicked this problem to Tang Qiuli with just one sentence.

    "The Nationalist Government has appointed General Tang Qiuli, Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, as the plenipotentiary negotiator to handle border disputes. All countries are requested to negotiate with Vice Chairman Tang," this was the reply from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government to the British,  "Mother Xipi, for Tang Qiuli's trouble, I, Jiang, was asked to take the blame for him. It's unkind to be a human being." This was what Chairman Jiang had complained about in private to those close to him.

    Regarding this matter, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek has said a few fair words, "The Japanese invaded our five southern provinces and were repulsed by the Japanese. The North China troops pursued the victory. The Japanese troops retreated into the British sphere of influence, but the British not only accommodated the defeated  The Japanese army also provided all kinds of conveniences. The British were so shameless that it was okay to let Tang Qiuli make a fuss. Maybe, only Tang Qiuli could make these arrogant British sober. "

    The British did not get the response they deserved from the National Government, so they had to throw the protest letter at Tang Qiuli. When Communications Director Chen Feng handed a large pile of protest letters sent by the British to the division commander Tang Qiuli  At that time, Tang Qiuli justOn the top of the protest letter, there were sixteen large characters written: "The protest is invalid. The original text will be returned. If you show sincerity, you can still consider it."

    Looking at the dozen or so big characters of "Master" with claws and claws, Chen Feng almost laughed out loud. He was so arrogant, "Sir, are you just going to hand it over to the British like this?" Chen Feng still asked in detail. Tang Qiuli was very surprised, no  Xie asked Chen Feng, "What? Is there any problem? Also, tell the British liaison officer not to bother me with these boring things."

    Chen Feng understood what momentum meant. The division commander's answer was the best explanation. The British were anxious, but Tang Qiuli had a rare moment of leisure. There was no war in the country. Temple Shouichi and more than 200,000 Japanese troops were forced into Savage Mountain.  , the battle outside the country does not involve his energy at all. With Chutian in charge of the overall situation, he can rest assured!

    Southeast Asian border wars were successful frequently. Tang Qiuli turned his attention to the country. In order to cope with the upcoming Southeast Asian battles, all of Guangdong Province in southern China, southern Guangxi Province, southern Guizhou Province, all of Yunnan Province, Fujian, Songhu, and Zhejiang  All, Hunan and Hubei were placed under the jurisdiction of Tang Qiuli's newly established Southeast Asia Campaign Headquarters.

    The boundaries of administrative divisions among the provinces have been broken. All manpower, material resources, and financial resources are unified to serve the needs of the war. For the original princes of each province, the sadness and pain of loss are mixed with complex excitement and expectations.  The reason is simple. In order to establish a stable rear base, Tang Qiuli invested a lot of money in various places and established many new military industrial enterprises and machine manufacturing enterprises.

    Tang Qiuli single-handedly included a large part of China into his actual ruling area. Even so, those local princes, apart from not having military power, did not suffer much loss to their own interests. In their self-deprecating words,  Said, "Be sure to be a rich man," these newly started enterprises have brought great vitality to the local economy.

    The ocean flowing into the pockets of these original emperors was only a lot more. In fact, this was also a way for Tang Qiuli to appease the local bosses. He could not kill all these people and cause chaos in the local area. If  It is also very troublesome for their henchmen to be determined to go against them.

    At the same time, the Japanese's actions in Southeast Asia are somewhat unclear. The newly formed Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force has not seen any recent movements in the Indian Ocean, near the important port in southern Myanmar and the capital Yangon. Hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops  , it seems like a parade, most of them retreated to Taiwan and Hainan Island, leaving only a small number of troops patrolling in this generation.

    The clouds weighing on the British seemed to have dissipated. After seeing Tang Qiuli's attitude, the British, who had been protesting, weighed the pros and cons, changed their strategies, actively sought dialogue, and even sent special envoys to Tengchong several times to ask for an audience with Tang Qiuli.  Qiu Li, Tang Qiuli at that time, was busy setting up the Southeast Asia Campaign Headquarters and had no time to grind his teeth with these British people.

    After he finished his work, the British seemed to have calmed down and their attitude became tougher. They no longer protested. Instead, they demanded that Tang Qiuli's troops withdraw from Southeast Asia unconditionally and immediately. Not only that, they also used force  The old threat is that Lieutenant General Alexander, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Myanmar and the Commander of the Southeast Asian Armed Forces, made a naked threat that half of the British Royal Army and one-third of the Air Force would be mobilized to deal with the Chinese invasion of the border areas.  *Team.

    What is dramatic is that not only did they intimidate Tang Qiuli, but their attitude towards the Japanese also changed fundamentally. Not only did they withdraw their generous promise to allow the Japanese troops who had retreated from the Chinese battlefield to rest and recuperate in northern Myanmar,  He also repeatedly emphasized that the Japanese could retreat into northern Burma, but they must disarm under the supervision of the British army, giving these Imperial Japanese warriors a new identity, refugees!

    For a time, the public opinion in Japan was in an uproar and the public sentiment was excited. The British were inconsistent and capricious. They were still in the Savage Mountains, fighting against the miasma everywhere, the death swamps everywhere, various diseases, and the harsh natural environment.  , as for the embarrassing situation.

    Tang Qiuli was in Tengchong. After reading the British statement, he couldn't help shaking his head. He said that the British were absolute pragmatists, but they were not so playful. The Japanese soldiers who climbed out of Savage Mountain must be like beggars.  Before he had time to take a breath or rejoice, he was imprisoned in a refugee camp by the British as a refugee. How could His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, who has always been good about himself, feel so embarrassed?

    "Perhaps because of this statement, in the Southeast Asian Campaign that will break out soon, Japanese soldiers will brutally torture and kill British prisoners. Find a theoretical basis!

    However, the Japanese army was already ready in Southeast Asia. Why didn't they take action? This made Tang Qiuli have a lot of suspicions. Although it was still nearly a year before the Southeast Asian campaign in history, the current trend of history,  Has changed its appearanceWell, if the Japanese don't take action, are they waiting for Juichi Terauchi to leave Savage Mountain?
