Based on Zhao Zeyong's analysis of Yanying, the Shan warlord, he believed that this man was still rational and could be controlled. But I never thought that an army without military discipline would be beyond the control of their officers. The United Provinces could indeed control Yanying, but Yanying couldn't control his subordinates who killed red-eyed men. Why should the United Provinces control them? Woolen cloth. I didn¡¯t expect that the Burmese card would be played to get the British to compromise, but I didn¡¯t expect that this card would be played so hard that the British would not be able to step down. If the British could tolerate the massacre of thousands of their own soldiers and civilians, they would no longer be British. At this time, the British social and national sentiments were higher than anything else, higher than profit calculations, and higher than political struggles. It was inevitable to send a large army to Myanmar again and start a more tragic war. International diplomacy is indeed a naked game of interests, but the players in any game are human beings, and once people lose control of their emotions, they will not take anything into account, and interests and the like can only be put aside temporarily. The British agreed to Wang Chongyang on almost all terms at the negotiation table. This smoothness made Wang Chongyang feel incredible. At the same time, Wang Chongyang realized how determined the British were towards Myanmar. Especially the focus of the British negotiations is to get back the tens of thousands of their captured troops. It is conceivable that once these prisoners are released by the federal provinces, they will undoubtedly be armed again immediately and then sent to Burma to participate in the battle. There is a rule of military combat: Whatever the enemy wants, he must not be satisfied. This applies equally to diplomatic combat. After careful consideration, Wang Chongyang sent a long telegram to Zhao Zeyong, hoping to temporarily postpone the negotiations with the British and delay the time for reaching an agreement as much as possible. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the British This is a chain reaction, and it is all beneficial to the United Provinces and China. Now that the United Provinces have taken the initiative, there is no need to worry. As for how to delay, Wang Chongyang said that he would find a way, while Zhao Zeyong directly gave Wang Chongyang an idea. Let him raise the issue of compensation for losses to the British. But is this possible? Is it possible for the British to agree to war compensation? It has been many years since the British paid war compensation to others. It seems that they have never paid war compensation to others since the aristocratic era. Not only that. No one dared mention it to the British at all. The British didn't even recognize the war with the United Provinces. They only considered it a conflict. How could they expect them to pay compensation? Doesn't giving compensation mean admitting the failure of the war? Can the failure of a war be recognized? If they could, they wouldn't go to Myanmar. Not going to Myanmar. If it cannot quell the anger of the Chinese people, the government will collapse. If it admits its failure in China, it will make the Chinese people even more angry, and the government will collapse. Of course, it won¡¯t cost too much to compensate the federal provinces, but this is not an economic issue, but a political issue. After Japan defeated Russia in the Russo-Japanese War. The Japanese also asked the Russians for compensation, but in the end they failed. On the contrary, the Japanese people were very dissatisfied with the government. This is the reason. Although everyone understood at the time that the Japanese had won and the Russians had failed, the Russians did not admit it. Without compensation, you can claim that this is a war with no outcome. ??Similarly, although the British sent troops to China and suffered a failure, everyone understands that the British failed. But the British don¡¯t see it that way, and they don¡¯t have to see it that way. Because their army was not completely wiped out, at least there was still a division in Shanghai, and their government could claim that they had destroyed more enemies and had not defeated them. The reason why we are negotiating with the Chinese is because of the Myanmar issue and because they are unwilling to lose more in China. It is not that they cannot defeat China. But once China's war losses were compensated, all the masks were torn apart. So the British will never agree to compensation, even if it is just one pound. But Wang Chongyang gave high-fives and praised him. He and Zhao Zeyong were simply the best scheming partners, and they had to kill the British. The British have already agreed, giving up their extraterritorial rights in the United Provinces, tacitly allowing the United Provinces to take charge of their own customs, and almost agreeing to all conditions. Originally, the United Provinces planned to use these conditions as a bargaining chip to release British prisoners of war, but now the British They all agreed, but the United Provinces are stepping up their efforts and insisting on fighting for war compensation. "This is impossible. You have no sincerity. I warn you that if the negotiations break down, you will bear all the responsibilities." After hearing the request mentioned by Wang Chongyang, the British diplomatic representative was furious. Wang Chongyang smiled and said: "How is it impossible? You, the British, caused the Wanxian tragedy and the Quyuan Town tragedy. Shouldn't you apologize to the Chinese people for these tragedies and compensate the families of the victims? The war you started has made the people along the Yangtze River miserable. Having paid a heavy price for the destruction of our home, shouldn¡¯t we apologize?Compensation? " Zhao Zeyong just gave Wang Chongyang an idea to claim compensation, because the British would not agree to it out of national dignity. Wang Chongyang used it himself. Since you will not compensate for national dignity, you will not apologize. Yes, an apology is more powerful than compensation. The British representative said: "All these conflicts are not just our responsibility. Since it is a conflict, both parties to the conflict are responsible. Giving up extraterritoriality and acquiescing to your customs autonomy is our biggest concession and the greatest sincerity. "Wang Chongyang hummed: "I remind your representatives, please don't confuse the situation. We, the United Provinces, have absolutely no responsibility for this conflict. Did the troops of the United Provinces go to your Thames to fight? It's you, it's yours. The navy, your army, came to China to kill and set fire to people. If you don't apologize or compensate, then I won't be able to explain to the tens of thousands of people in the United Provinces, and I won't be able to explain to the ancestors of the Chinese nation. Seeing that Wang Chongyang refused to give in, the British were very angry, but they also knew that the negotiations would have no results for the time being. So they suggested adjourning the meeting, and the day of negotiations was over. On the other side, in Myanmar, Li Jiaying met with Yanying urgently and informed him He understood the attitude of the British and told Yanying in his own name that the British would probably concentrate their efforts to launch an unprecedented scale of retaliation against the Shan State. I hope that Yanying would not understand that the British would retaliate. But his subordinates couldn't help but massacre the city, so what could he do? After being a warlord for several years, he deeply understood that the army was the basis of his power when conquering the world. People's hearts, not to mention the hearts of foreign countries. He couldn't punish his troops because of the lives of some civilians, especially British civilians. But he had to accept the British's revenge. Li Jiaying said: "Commander Yan, with all due respect, your soldiers are all good soldiers. But they are not qualified soldiers. They are strong in combat and not afraid of death, but they have no discipline. You can conquer a large territory with such troops, but you cannot run a country well. " Yanying nodded. He also knew that his subordinates were undisciplined. But they were originally mountain people. He brought them out of their tribes and their villages. Some of them were his cronies, and most of them were conquered by himself. They were recruited from the tribe. These people may have had high prestige in their tribes and villages, and they were all unruly and unruly, but if they were punished by themselves, they would be disciplined. Even just criticizing them may make these warriors think that they have lost their dignity, and they may commit suicide or rebel. Yanying sighed: "But this is our current situation. The vast majority of our soldiers are mountain people and have always been disobedient to discipline. " Li Jiaying shook her head and sighed: "I have a suggestion. I don't know if Commander Yan wants to hear it. " Yanying nodded. He was very satisfied with these Chinese officers. They were professional and professional enough. What was even more rare was that they knew how to exercise restraint. They never tried to control their own troops. Before this, this was his biggest concern. Often, even if they have suggestions, they are expressed very politely, and it is the Myanmar military officers who make the final decision. ¡°Commander Li, please speak. " "If you want to really defeat the British. There must be regular troops with strict military discipline. To form a regular army, professional officers are indispensable. If you are willing, you can send people to Yunnan to study military affairs. I am willing to recommend your subordinates to study in regular military schools in Yunnan. " Yanying frowned slightly: "Is this feasible? " He inevitably had doubts in his heart. Could it be that the Chinese wanted to interfere with their own army and add sand to their own army? Li Jiaying saw Yanying's concerns and said: "Commander Yan, you are overly worried. This is just my personal suggestion and has nothing to do with the federal province. Before I came, our military governor said that we would do everything we can to help the Shan people. The Shan people are our brother nation. Don't interfere in the internal affairs of the Shan people. Misunderstandings between brothers can easily become difficult to resolve. And I think you don¡¯t have to worry too much about helping Shan State train military officers. To be honest, most of the officers and senior generals in our Allied Provincial Army were trained by German instructors. Our most elite soldiers are actually trained by American instructors. But when our Allied Provincial Army is fighting, I think no matter whether Americans or Germans are standing in front of them, they will never hesitate to shoot. " Yanying breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Actually, I don't doubt it. I know Governor Zhao's affection for the Shan people. I will always bear this in mind. By delaying the negotiations with the British this time, aren't you just trying to help the Shan people? You are sacrificing yourself and others. What do I have to worry about for a brotherly country like yours? I'm worried??The war is imminent. Will it affect the combat effectiveness if officers are sent to China for training? " Li Jiaying nodded. There is also this factor. If the officers are all in China and suddenly the British call, it is unclear whether the officers who have returned to the army in a hurry can take over the army immediately, let alone improve their combat effectiveness. "I will give it to you. Call the country and ask. Maybe there is a good solution. After all, I am not good at the army. " Yanying expressed his thanks. Li Jiaying indeed reported the situation to the country. Zhao Zeyong asked the question to Hu Wan. Hu Wan said it was a trivial matter. He asked Li Jiaying to reply to Yanying that officers can go to China and soldiers can go to China. Officers and soldiers are trained together. The cultural quality of Shan officers is not high and they cannot go to the Army University to attend lectures. They simply train with the soldiers in the Mengzi training camp. The federal provincial capital will send suitable instructors to their various fields. Class-level officers give lessons. At the same time, they can directly help them form new troops in the Mengzi training camp and teach them how to use new weapons and standard combat methods. , and promised to send an army to the Shan people that was comparable to the British army. Once Li Jiaying explained to Yanying, Yanying was very interested, and even looked forward to it with excitement. After thinking about it for a night, he finally made up his mind to send the army. For China's mission, let his good brother Yanlong, who has done a lot of tricks, be responsible for it, and the army will select the most elite soldiers and the most brave officers from the army to go, and these soldiers and officers are without exception There is one thing in common, and that is loyalty. Needless to say, the officers are all old brothers who came from Yanying's village and fought with him. The soldiers are also within a hundred miles of his village, and they have all kinds of interactions before the war. A strong man in the Shanzhai tribe. However, Yanying is still very cautious. The people he selected this time are not only loyal, but also there are only about a hundred officers. This is all the people in the village who are fighting against him. The number of soldiers was limited to one thousand, which was basically a brigade. They all entered Yunnan empty-handed, and were quickly sent to the best training camp in the province, Mengzi Training Camp. The officers who greeted them also felt familiar to them, because they were officers from Menglian's hometown. They had the same ethnic group, the same culture, and the same language as them. When Yanlong learned that these officers were Shan people. The federal province urgently transferred all Shan officers from various armies, and they all received professional military education, and most of them were outstanding officers who had been on the battlefield. This made Yanlong feel the sincerity of the Chinese people. , and a feeling of family mutual help. It must be said that the federal province has given great support to Yanying, a Shan warlord whom it recognized, at all costs. But the Shan officers and soldiers who came did not buy it very much. They heard that. They said that the army of their neighbor the United Provinces defeated the British army, but they still didn't care. They fought with the British for how many years, and the United Provinces only fought for so many years. If they have more experience, they should teach the United Provinces Only the soldiers of the province are fighting. (To be continued.
