    Chapter 1055 Chen Bing Border

    This led to the British Governor-General in Burma sending the consul to northern Burma, Mistron.  .  The matter of Lord George's ferocious protest was trivial and could even be ignored, but it was a big deal to the British, who were always arrogant and had never looked directly at the Chinese.

    It doesn¡¯t matter how much the loss is. The key point is that the British, who have always been arrogant, feel that their dignity has been provoked, which greatly hurts the self-esteem of the British gentlemen. Moreover, the Chinese, who have been weak for a century, dare to challenge the Empire on which the sun never sets. This matter  Things cannot be taken lightly; there must be an explanation.

    In fact, this protest letter was forwarded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in Chongqing through the British Embassy in China. When a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs saw that it was a protest letter from the British, he was confused at the time. This is not a trivial matter. The British  Man, is that something we can afford?

    After running around in a hurry, a rather clever official said with an epiphany: "Everyone, this matter concerns the British and major diplomatic issues between the two countries. None of us can make the final decision.  Brother, please report your humble opinion to Chairman Chiang and ask the committee to make a decision. Everything will be done accordingly. It would be nice for us to have a charter, right?"

    Everyone loudly agreed, and this protest letter was sent to Chairman Chiang. When Chairman Chiang saw it, he became angry at that time, "Nang Xipi, these idiots from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the trouble Tang Qiuli caused at the border  , what¡¯s the matter if it¡¯s handed over to me? Should I apologize and compensate the British? If I can¡¯t tell the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, let the British directly negotiate with Tang Qiuli. Again, Tang Qiuli represents the government.¡±

    With a single kick, Chairman Chiang kicked this huge problem that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs regarded as a huge problem at the feet of Tang Qiuli. All the big shots from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed their admiration for Chairman Chiang, "Our Chairman is still wise.  , this matter was originally caused by Vice Chairman Tang, why should the Ministry of Foreign Affairs take the blame for him? He is very good at Tai Chi."

    In this way, after three rounds and two turns, the British protest letter arrived at Tang Qiuli. He saw the young vice chairman with an extremely contemptuous sneer on his lips. The gentleman with good ears heard Chen Feng's words.  , everyone stopped talking and laughing and looked at Tang Qiuli.

    Mr. Zhang Youde, a local celebrity in Tengchong and the retired former county magistrate, stepped forward with concern and said: "Vice Chairman Tang, this is a consistent British approach. When I was the county magistrate, I dealt with many similar diplomatic situations.  The dispute was originally fought for by the old man, but the government did not support it. In the end, the matter was settled with an apology and compensation. Thinking about it, I feel panicked. "

    Zhang Youde was an honest official and well-received by the people. During his tenure as county magistrate, he made great contributions to local development. His greatest achievement was the establishment of the Tengchong County School in Tengchong, which gave some children from poor families the opportunity to receive education.  In addition, Tengchong has a rich literary style since ancient times and has produced many celebrities.

    For such a highly respected old gentleman, Tang Qiuli did not dare to be arrogant at all. During the banquet, he always acted like a disciple. When he heard Zhang Youde say this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked: "Mr. Zhang, what is the relationship between the British and the British?"  When dealing with border disputes, have we always focused on concessions and compensation?¡±

    Zhang Youde smiled bitterly, shook his head repeatedly, and sighed: "It has always been like this. The Kokang and other areas in northern Myanmar were still under the jurisdiction of China during the Qing Dynasty. After the Opium War, Myanmar became a British colony and the Qing Dynasty was forced to do so.  The British signed a border treaty, and these places became the territory of the British. "

    "In order to make a living, border residents go into the mountains to engage in production and hunting. Sometimes they stray into the area and are caught by the British. This is a huge diplomatic incident. The local government has to apologize and extort huge compensation. But the British and the British  The Burmese people, who were doing things for themselves, deliberately invaded our land. The local government sent troops to drive them away, and the British responded with force. Over a long period of time, many border lands were regarded as British places by default. The old man resigned in anger and was unwilling to endure the humiliation.  ¡±

    A cold light flashed in Tang Qiuli's eyes, and he said: "Whether they are the British or the Japanese, they are all the same species, greedy for our land. However, the Japanese are robbers who fight openly, and the British are scheming profiteers. It's the same,"  Mr. Zhang Youde nodded with deep sympathy.  .

    The next day, Tang Qiuli took Mei Xue, Shan Hu and others to the pass where the Japanese army entered Yeren Mountain. The 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps on guard here tightly controlled the pass. The brigade commander Wang Chengye heard that the division commander came in person.  He came to inspect and hurriedly drove here, not forgetting to order a battalion of troops to establish a cordon where the division commander inspected.

    As soon as he got off the car, Wang Chengye quickly stood at attention and saluted, "Report to the division commander, Wang Chengye, commander of the 4th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, has come to report and ask for instructions from the division commander!" He has not forgotten that he once questioned the division commander's order, but so far,  The discomfort in his heart never left him.?Let it out.

    Tang Qiuli glanced at Wang Chengye and said, "It's Brigade Commander Wang. How about it? Seeing so many Japanese troops sneaking into the forest, I felt regretful and greedy, and felt uncomfortable. As a division commander, Tang Qiuli,  What kind of bullshit order was given?" Wang Chengye replied loudly: "Commander, it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and I dare not think otherwise."

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "I still have ideas, but I just don't dare to say them out. You will understand in the future. The more than 200,000 Japanese troops will collapse without you, Wang Chengye, to fight them, and the fourth brigade will also collapse."  Don¡¯t spend it all here, just send out a regiment of troops and set up surveillance posts in all areas that can be passed. Don¡¯t worry, the Japanese army will not run back. "

    Having said this, Tang Qiuli remembered another thing and said to Chen Feng, the director of the communications department: "Send a report to Le Yiqin. The Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation Force has formed a combat readiness unit at Kunming Airport. The strength is insufficient.  There are less than four fighter regiments responsible for the air blockade in northern Myanmar. Once the Japanese aviation is discovered, it will provide air supplies to the savage mountainous troops. Immediately destroy the Japanese transport planes. I must ensure that a grain of food and a bottle of medicine are provided.  None of them can fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

    Tang Qiuli's order was an absolute blow to the bottom of the fire, which was equivalent to cutting off the last glimmer of hope for Teruchi Shouichi and the more than 200,000 Japanese troops. Didn't the British not allow the Chinese troops to enter Burma to fight?  Well, I will be in the air and jam the Japanese's neck. If a British plane dares to cover the Japanese transport plane for airdrop, I will kill the British plane as well.

    After returning to Tengchong, Tang Qiuli made strategic deployment adjustments. Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps immediately went south to the China-Myanmar border, Li Honggang's 29th Corps entered the China-Laos border, and Ma Chaoyang's  The Southeast Mobile Corps continues to be stationed at the Sino-Vietnam border.

    Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps handed over the garrison tasks in Fujian and the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi to Jiang Yanming's Songhu Garrison Corps, the Guangdong Provincial Security Command, the Guinan Garrison District and other units. The entire corps immediately moved westward, on the Yunnan-Myanmar border.  Stationed in Jinghong, Mengsuo, Yongde and other places.

    The **Division Aviation Force and the Northern Flying Group will allocate one-third of the combat troops and use Nanning Airport as a base to form the Southern Aviation 2nd Flying Group. They will be unified under the command of the **Division Aviation Commander Le Yiqin. Each unit will arrive at the designated location.  Positional command for immediate targeted jungle and mountain combat training.

    The ** Division Joint Service Command has stockpiled a large amount of medicine, food, ammunition and other materials in the troop assembly area. Each regiment has at least two full brigades, which will be equipped with jungle warfare equipment and material preparations. Before early October  Completed, Tang Qiuli deployed five main field troops on the border between China, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar.

    Among them, the Yunnan-Myanmar border area was the area where Tang Qiuli judged that war would break out first. Therefore, he concentrated the three first-class main corps, Tang Qiusheng Corps, Feng Jiwu Corps, and Directly Affiliated Corps, and issued orders to all units. All of a sudden, from the south,  The roads leading to border areas from various places are full of marching troops of the Japanese Army.

    For Zhang Quan, commander of the ** Division Joint Service Command, this is a lot of pressure. With five corps gathered at the border, it is a big problem for the transportation of materials and ammunition. The road conditions in Yunnan are not very good.  In half a month, supplies and ammunition for more than 800,000 troops must be transported to designated areas. This is a severe test for the rear joint service command.

    Zhang Quan was extremely busy every day, and the old man's temper was getting worse and worse. His usually amiable and smiling appearance was gone, and he started shouting and killing. Tang Qiuli knew that such a huge amount of transportation would be too much for Zhang Quan.  The pressure was extremely high, so Zhou Yushan, commander of the Transportation Command of the ** Division and deputy director of the Division Logistics Department, was transferred.

    Not only did Zhou Yushan come, but he also brought his transport force of thousands of trucks, and two old partners joined hands again. Zhang Quan's anxiety was also in vain. The supplies and ammunition transported to the war zone were  A hundred-fold increase.

    After finishing all this, Tang Qiuli remembered that there was also the British protest. It was not a big deal anyway, but the British governor of northern Burma, who was full of nonsense and shouting about killing,  Mistron.  Lord George, what kind of bird is this Englishman?

    He notified the Tengchong local government and made an appointment with the British. While Tang Qiuli was busy adjusting his deployment, he received three letters of protest from the British forwarded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their words became increasingly fierce. In Chang Feng's words,  We were so angry that we sent a plane to drop bombs on top of our heads.

    But it is strange that the British are like crazy. The person who is full of gunpowder, the captain of the special warfare detachment of the ** Division, Colonel Chu Tian, ??does not even have a telegram. Not only the commander of the division is strange, but also Tang  Qiu Li also wondered, how did Chu Tian provoke the British?
