    In fact, the reason why Zhao Zeyong compromised at the demobilization meeting and gave up the territory in Henan was, firstly, because it was not an important place, and secondly, because he was busy preparing for the war against Japan. To put it bluntly, Zhao Zeyong's eyes once again  It has invested internationally and has long ceased to work domestically.  Zhao Zeyong has made up his mind that the battle against Japan mainly depends on the navy and mainly relies on sneak attacks.  Army operations are only auxiliary, because Japan is close to China. Once a land war is fought with the Japanese, it will be huge and protracted. It will be very detrimental to China, which has just experienced fighting with the British and is not yet unified.  As long as Japan¡¯s navy is defeated, Japan will not be able to send it to China even if it has an army.  As for the combat plan, the Naval Staff has already drawn it up. Zhao Zeyong was very satisfied after reading it. After all, he is a professional officer, and the plan he formulated is more detailed and more operable than what he imagined.  The troops also began to conduct frequent military exercises and targeted training in accordance with the contents of the military plan, always ready to attack immediately when an opportunity comes.  However, while making military preparations, the United Provinces had a very peaceful attitude toward Japan. They did not escalate the conflict step by step like they did with the United Kingdom. This was because the Japanese did not take the bait and did not take the lead in causing trouble in Beijing. In that case, the United Provinces would not be able to occupy the territory.  The advantage of public opinion.  Moreover, if we have just attacked Britain and Italy, and immediately attack Japan, it will easily create bellicose international sentiments. Once we get into trouble with the Japanese, it will easily lead to international intervention.  Especially after offending the British and the Italians.  If there is a fight with the Japanese, Britain and Italy will unite with Japan to fight against the United Provincial Army.  That's enough for the Allied Provincial Army to drink from.  We are not afraid of the war itself, but it is really like the Soviet Union's interventionist war. After several years of fighting, the economy of the federal provinces has not been reduced to rubbish.  Therefore, the United Provinces must confine the war to a quick and decisive battle. We must defeat the enemy with all our strength in one strike and cannot drag it out for a long time.  So for the time being, nothing is done against Japan. The Japanese are still doing business in the federal provinces, and the Japanese still enjoy privileges.  It's just that in the areas governed by the United Provinces, they have restrained themselves a lot and are not as arrogant as in Shandong and Northeast China. Perhaps their ambassadors have warned their businessmen, knowing that the United Provinces are a fool, and even the British dare to attack them when they get anxious.  When there are soft persimmons like Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang, there is no need to pinch the stinky ones like the United Provinces.  While stabilizing Japan.  In fact, it still needs to hold back the UK.  At this time, the British were deeply mired in Burma.  After the British used poison gas, they were unable to capture Lashio after repeated bitter battles.  In order to save the only city of Lashio, Yanying paid a heavy price. He lost more than half of his main troops, and 70% of the regular officers trained in China died in Lashio.  But I finally found the right way to let go.  Towels were required, and a large number of tunnels were dug. When the British released poison gas, they would go into the tunnels to hide.  When the British attacked, they dug tunnels to defend themselves.  This move greatly reduced their losses, although the threat of poisonous gas was still great.  But it's no longer fatal.  The British were a little discouraged. While surrounding Lashio, they began to bypass Lashio and go deep into northern Myanmar, raiding the territory controlled by Yanying everywhere.  But when the British invaded their own territory and invaded northern Burma, Yanying ran into the jungle. When the British swept the jungle, he ran into the deep valley and refused to fight a frontal war with the British, because one Lashio was already  Exhausting the potential of the quartz.  The British went on a rampage in their own territory, sweeping away and massacring people. Yanying simply divided his people into small groups and crossed the mountains and ridges into the Bamar area. They entered the core area of ????the British-controlled area and started guerrilla operations everywhere.  The British were so embarrassed that they set up defenses everywhere. They had already stationed 200,000 troops in Myanmar, but they still seemed to be stretched thin.  Yanying held back the British, but Zhao Zeyong felt that it was not enough. Yanying was not able to keep the British in Burma. What Zhao Zeyong wanted was that the British could not escape from Burma no matter what, even if he and the Japanese  When a fight breaks out, they can't get away to help.  Zhao Zeyong¡¯s next target is the Kachin people. The role of the Shan people has come to an end. Now they must create another trouble for the British.  Through the western Yunnan region, they contacted the Kachin people and handed over a large number of weapons and equipment to the Kachin people. The Kachin people agreed to attack Myitkyina. After the Kachin people saw that the Shan people had occupied Lashio, they  They are so enthusiastic that they also want to occupy the big cities in their territory and establish a Kachin country, and the most important city in the Kachin area is none other than Myitkyina.  With the support of a large number of weapons and equipment from Zhao Zeyong, the Kachin people took action. Through a surprise attack, they successfully captured Myitkyina, which was guarded by a small number of British troops. At the same time, the Kachin armed forces reached an agreement, and they formed a coalition government and established a capital.  Myitkyina became the Kachin Republic.  The establishment of independence by the Kachin people caught the British off guard. Unexpectedly, while focusing on the Shan incident, the Kachin people suddenly launched an attack. They did more than the Shan people and established a nation directly.  This is the result that the British least want to see, then?Colonial riots occurred everywhere and wars broke out everywhere, which meant that the colonial wave of independence began to expand.  Now it has spread from Shan State to Kachin State, and if it is not well controlled, it will reach Bangladesh, and then the clitoris will reach Pakistan.  But the British troops are really running out. The battle against the Shan people cost hundreds of thousands of people. The defense of the Burmese area also requires a considerable number of troops, otherwise the Burmese people may also rise up to resist.  But we cannot ignore Myitkyina. It would be ridiculous if it develops into another Lashio.  In the end, the British simply lifted the siege of Lashio and deployed 30,000 troops to Myitkyina. They hoped to recapture Myitkyina before the Kachin people stabilized the area, lest they be like the Shan people who fortified Myitkyina and let the Myitkyina go.  China became another Lashio.  The British were very lucky, and Myitkyina was easily recaptured.  Because just as they imagined, the Kachin people did not have time to build fortifications here, and they did not know how to fight a defensive war.  But as soon as the British left, the Kachins harassed Myitkyina again, forcing the British to station heavy troops here.  At the same time, due to the sudden rebellion of the Kachin people, the British rule in the Kachin area was once again out of control, and they needed more troops.  Burma has completely entangled the United Kingdom, and Zhao Zeyong is just short of a suitable opportunity to attack Japan.
