Chapter 184: Those who died were all natives, why should we feel bad! (First update!)

"I have to say, Long Wenjian is really brave." Looking at the telegram in his hand, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but shook his head and said.

Originally, he wanted Long Wenjian to send troops to Mandalay or Tonggu to attract the attention of the Japanese army.

As a result, the guy went straight to Yangon.

It is enough to see that this guy is extremely courageous.

"Si La Si La is indeed very brave, but the idea is a good one. If we can take Yangon, there will basically be only one 55th Division of Japanese troops left in Burma, which can be eliminated at any time." Meng looked at the map angrily. The more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he even tried hard to hold back his laughter.

"Laugh if you want to. Don't you think Yangon is the same as your butt crack?" Cun Yunsheng knew why the other party was holding back his laughter.

Because looking at the map, Yangon's location really does look like a human butt.

After Cun Yunsheng's reminder, Meng Fanle finally laughed.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the group became much more relaxed.

"Okay, enough laughing. Now let's think carefully about whether this plan is feasible." Cun Yunsheng pointed at the map of Yangon and said to Meng Fanle.

"I think we can give it a try. The Japanese army would never think that a dead army would go straight to Rangoon." Meng Fanle analyzed seriously.

"It's a pity that we don't have a navy. Otherwise, we can learn the Japanese landing method and land directly from here. We should be able to capture Yangon soon."

After listening to Meng Fanle's words, Cun Yunsheng nodded.

"You're right. Even though we don't have a navy, as long as they can take the airport as soon as possible, there's still hope of taking Yangon."

"Only if we take the airport and deprive the Japanese of their air superiority, we can be sure of taking Yangon."

"So, you support the dead dead plan?" Meng Fanle asked doubtfully.

"Why not support it?" Cun Yunsheng asked back.

"You and I both know that taking Yangon means the Japanese army's plan to attack Burma will completely fail. At the same time, the Allied forces' supplies can be directly transported through Yangon, and there is no need to transfer them through Chittagong."

"There is a well-developed railway system here. As long as the materials arrive in Yangon, they can be transported to various places by rail."

"The only problem is that we must not expose our relationship with Long Wenjian and others."

"Otherwise, if the British army knew they were supported by us, they would definitely go crazy."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but nodded. Ever since he knew the true face of the British army, he didn't have much good impression towards the British army.

"In this way, let the logistics department transfer another regiment of American weapons to Long Wenjian to ensure that he can successfully capture Yangon. Also, after Yangon is captured, Sun Yunfei should be asked to step in. His identity is very suitable."

"After training him for so long, it's time to make use of his abilities and let all the volunteers go to the war."

From the very beginning, Cun Yunsheng asked Sun Yunfei to form a volunteer team in order to prevent this day.

Sure enough, the British army was still the same British army and would not let them go south.

And at this time, the volunteer team is the best card.

A resistance army composed of a group of local indigenous people drove out the Japanese army and established their own political system.

Even if there is a problem, it has nothing to do with him.

What's more, the US military is behind this.
Even if the British army wants to cause trouble, they have to consider the face of the American army.

Fortunately, the British army still has a lot of messes of its own.

I guess I can't take care of that for now.

"It may be difficult for the British army to come back." Looking at the map, Cun Yunsheng could hardly suppress the smile on his face.

Suddenly I understood why the United States and the Soviet Union joined forces to dismember British and French colonies after the war.

This feeling is so great, and the fact that the matter was originally handled by the United States and the Soviet Union is now in charge by him, so the feeling of pleasure is doubled.

"Commander, you are the worst person. If the British army knew that you were the one manipulating all this, they would probably want to kill you directly." Meng Fanle couldn't help but sigh.

"Then don't let them know." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"Okay, let Long Wenjian take care of the attack on Yangon. What we need to do next is to reorganize with all our strength."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle suddenly asked.

"Commander, what is the organization of our task force?"

"Is it a detachment similar to the Japanese army?"

In addition to the normal regiments, brigades and divisions, the Japanese army also has

Sometimes, in order to carry out special combat missions, several regiments would be organized into a detachment.

So, when Meng Fanle learned that the Allies had given him a special services team, he was very confused. Is this a detachment similar to the Japanese army?

"Yes, they are of the same nature as the Japanese army's detachment, and are separately organized for special combat missions." Cun Yunsheng nodded.

"Then won't I have to call you captain from now on?" Meng Fanle said with a chuckle.

"It's just a title." Cun Yunsheng didn't care too much about it, but looked at the map and calculated the current military strength in his hands.

It seems like a lot, but if you break it down, there aren't that many.

In the Hsipak area, at least two battalions of troops are required. In the Kengtung area, the Thai army is constantly increasing its troops, so at least five infantry battalions are needed.

In addition, important towns such as Lashio also require a certain amount of military force.

In this case, at least ten battalions of infantry would be needed in front and behind.

All in all, the troops at hand are seriously insufficient.

Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng frowned, the troops were still not enough.

"Commander, do we want to expand them into a regiment?" Meng Fanle asked again.

"No, being a battalion commander is already their limit. With their command capabilities, they are not capable of taking on any higher positions."

"We will not expand the regiment-level units for the time being. It will remain at the battalion level. Promotion too quickly may not be a good thing." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He felt that their current positions were already the pinnacle of their personal abilities.

Maybe after a few more years of training, he might be able to take on the role, but definitely not now.

"But he is dead and has commanded tens of thousands of people, right?" Meng Fanle asked puzzledly.

"His ability is at most at the regimental level. In fact, he is more suitable for special operations. This kind of large-scale combat requires a very high level of adaptability from the commander." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

Meng Fanle immediately heard other meanings in Cun Yunsheng's words and asked in confusion.

"Commander, do you think this battle of theirs will be a success?"

"There is nothing wrong with the plan. We can take Yangon if nothing unexpected happens, but there may be heavy casualties." Cun Yunsheng said casually.

"Ah? Then why don't you remind me?" Meng Fanle asked anxiously.

"Those who died were all natives. What does it have to do with me? Even if hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands died, what does it have to do with us? Want national independence and freedom without paying the price of blood? Is it possible?" Cun Yunsheng said lightly.

The reason for giving an extra regiment of American equipment was to allow Long Wenjian to recruit more people.

Given the military skills of those natives, there will definitely be heavy casualties.

But it doesn’t matter!
Anyway, the last thing lacking here is people.

"You are still cruel. I just don't know if Si La Si La can understand what you mean." Meng Fanle sighed.

"Don't worry, he is so smart, he will definitely understand what I mean." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.

"Also, send a telegram to Zhang Ruzhi to congratulate him on his promotion to deputy station chief of Kunming Station and give him a congratulatory gift. By the way, give him this list in my hand and ask him to find a way to get it." This list is a list of officers he recently selected from the list sent by the Military Control Commission.

First of all, the direct line must be crossed out. It is too troublesome and will easily attract attention, so it is not cost-effective.

So the list of choices is much shorter.

However, Cun Yunsheng did see a few people on the list provided by the Military Control Commission.

One is Duan Zhenguo, who is currently the commander of the Bayonet Battalion of the Expeditionary Force.

Needless to say, this person's abilities are indeed amazing, and the key is that he has two brothers who are also very amazing.

Just like the Cun family, all nine sons of the Cun family served as soldiers.

Therefore, if he were to be recruited, it is estimated that several of his brothers could be recruited together, and then the officer corps in his hands would be of some prestige.

Otherwise, they are just cannon fodder, and the highest military rank is only one Lin Yi.

Another person is Han Shaogong, who originally held the rank of colonel, but offended his superiors and had his rank demoted to the lowest level. He is currently idle at home, so the Military Control Commission can find a way to poach him.

In addition, his two subordinates, Captain Qin Daling and Second Lieutenant Yang Wen, are both good.

This is why Cun Yunsheng temporarily stopped the expansion.

Once we recruit these people, we can consider expanding the group.

"Ah? So many people?" Meng Fanle was shocked when he looked at the list in his hand.

If all of them were recruited, the strength of the Sichuan Army would grow to a new level in a short period of time.

But is this sure not to cause trouble?
"How much? What we lack now are mid- and high-level military officers. How can you not contribute after receiving so many benefits from us?"

"Do you really think my things are so easy to take?" Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"Tell him that if this is done, the rice quantity for next month will be increased to 5,000 tons. Such a huge profit will not be enough to stop them from talking."

"Ah? Where do we get so much rice?" Meng Fanle asked anxiously again.

"Alas, you need to open your eyes. We don't have that much, but others do. Siam doesn't have much of anything except rice. Rather than having so much rice plundered by the Japanese army and sent back to their country, it's better for us to grab it and sell it. No matter what, this batch of rice will end up in our hands."

"How much can those people eat? They have to sell it and make money." Cun Yunsheng looked as if he was disappointed in his child.

Where is this place?
Southeast Asia!

Rice can be harvested three times a year, and the most abundant thing is rice.

How much rice did the Japanese army loot during the two years of occupation here?

How much does it matter if he steals a little?

"Yes, Commander." Meng Fanle stood at attention and saluted.

"Go ahead and let the Military Control Commission people find a solution. Take the benefits and don't sit there doing nothing." Cun Yunsheng said lightly.

…………

At the Kunming Military Control Station, Zhang Ruzhi sat in the deputy station chief's chair, looking at the furnishings in front of him, his heart filled with joy.

"Xiao Li, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get this position so quickly. Tell me, what position do you want? I'll give you the position of action team leader?" Zhang Ruzhi was not the kind of person who would burn his bridges after crossing them.

The first thing he thought of when he was promoted was to promote Li Jiu.

Speaking of the captain of the action team, he definitely has real power.

Who knew that Li Jiu was not interested at all.

"Stationmaster, I have no interest in this role as the operations team leader. How about giving him a sinecure?" Li Jiu said.

"An idle position? Then it's only the position of the director of the archives room, which is a low-paying job with not much benefits." Zhang Ruzhi said after a moment of hesitation.

"Oil? Webmaster, are we still short of some small things?" Li Jiu chuckled.

"That makes sense, that's well said, but if we want to expand our business, we have to have some real power in our hands. Otherwise, we're just a decoration. After all, there's a webmaster above us." Zhang Ruzhi said with some headache.

Hearing this, Li Jiu chuckled.

"Stationmaster, you are overthinking it. In this day and age, besides soldiers and weapons, money is the most important thing."

"Those captains and the like, they all look impressive, but in fact they are all suffering."

"How can the paper money issued by the emperor these days be as useful as the hard-earned money?"

"What we lack the least right now is money, so what if we are the stationmaster?"

"Without money, can those captains listen to him?"

"As long as we can give them enough benefits, your words as the deputy station chief will be more effective than those of any other station chief."

It has to be said that Li Jiu's words really touched Zhang Ruzhi's heart.

If it weren't for the money paving the way this time, even with such a great achievement, it would not have been possible to get promoted so quickly.

"Well, you are right. Then the task of winning over those captains will be left to you. Our business cannot stop and must continue." Zhang Ruzhi agreed with his words and said immediately.

"Report, deputy station chief, there is a letter for you." At this time, the voice of a trusted subordinate was heard outside the door.

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi frowned slightly, but still let the person in.

When he saw that the envelope was signed by the Sichuan Army, his frown relaxed a lot.

"That side of the river."

As he said this, he opened the envelope. After reading it, Zhang Ruzhi's brows frowned even deeper.

"The Sichuan Army has given me a difficult problem. I just took office and they asked me to recruit so many officers for them."

"Especially with a colonel who is unemployed at home."

Li Jiu took the telegram with curiosity, but didn't care much after reading it.

Instead, he was very concerned about the 5,000 tons of rice.

"Stationmaster, the profit from these 5,000 tons of rice is a considerable sum."

Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the 5,000 tons of rice, he would have started cursing.

It's not easy to deal with so many officers.

Even if he became the deputy station chief of Kunming Station, he was not so powerful that he could cover the whole world with one hand.

"How confident are you that you can deal with these people?" Zhang Ruzhi asked.

Li Jiu did not give an immediate answer, but pondered for a while.

"Stationmaster, it's impossible for the two of us to accomplish this."

"We have to pull more people into the water."

"It would be best if we could get everyone at Kunming Station on the same boat with us to complete the task."

“But it would require a lot of money.”

Treating people to a meal and giving gifts require money.

"Okay, this task is given to you. No matter how much it costs, you have to get it done. The profit from 5,000 tons of rice is enough for us to take the risk." Zhang Ruzhi said with red eyes.
