The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 998

Gao Jiu knew how to deal with this matter, or the old saying: the truth is always only within the range of the cannon.

If the British want to attack the Golden Triangle, Gao Jiu doesn't mind giving them some flair.

To deal with the British, there is no need for Gao Jiu to make a move.They are nothing in front of the Japanese army.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the South Asian Front Army, and the British immediately tasted the bitter fruit.

Since the British forcibly raised the toll standards for roads and railways, they guessed that it is very likely that the Golden Triangle will send someone to negotiate with them.

Therefore, the British waited for the people from the Golden Triangle to come and beg for themselves, so that they could put forward some harsh conditions.

They believed that no matter what, roads and railways had to pass through the areas controlled by the British in Burma. They could use roads and railways to control the Golden Triangle, Kokang and even Yunnan at any time, and these areas could only obediently obey the British.

However, to their great surprise, no one from Yunnan, the Kokang Self-Government Committee, or the Golden Triangle came to negotiate with them.These areas simply stopped road and rail transportation for the time being.

In this case, the British would not even get a penny of the tolls they had received steadily every day.

Of course, the British are not too worried about this.They don't believe that without road and rail transportation in these areas, all the raw materials they import and the products they export will stop, and they won't last long at all.Therefore, the British continued to maintain an arrogant attitude, just waiting for these areas to bow to them.

On this day, the 67th Division of the Japanese Army dispatched a reinforced unit to launch a fierce attack on the British positions.At the same time, the 68th Division of the Japanese Army also dispatched an infantry unit to capture a county town in Myanmar, directly threatening the safety of the Burma Road.

Not only that, but with the acquiescence of Gao Jiu, the Japanese air force launched a violent bombing of the British army, and the British were beaten into a panic and suffered heavy losses.

Only then did they realize that the devil didn't come to provoke them in the first place, not because he was a good British man. In front of the British, the devil was not a sick cat, but a tiger with its mouth wide open.

The British army was beaten and retreated, and they panicked all of a sudden, and urgently asked Gao Jiu for help.

If it was the past, the British Governor in the Union of Myanmar sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu would respond immediately and send troops to deal with the Japanese army.

After the telegram was sent this time, it was like a mud cow into the sea, and no one responded to them.

When fighting in the past, whether it was Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, or the Kokang Autonomous Region, they all fought together. This time, the British asked for help from these places, but no one paid any attention to them.

Only then did the British Governor in Burma understand, knowing that Gao Jiu had noticed his small thoughts, he hurriedly flew to the Golden Triangle to ask Gao Jiu for help.

Gao Jiu treated the British Governor in Burma very warmly, and accompanied him on a tour of mountains and rivers, but he didn't mention a word about sending troops to reinforce him.

At the beginning, the British Governor in Burma was still trying to save face and was unwilling to admit his mistakes. Gao Jiu was not in a hurry, and took his time to talk to him.

The Japanese army had been suppressing the British army before, but because of Gao Jiu's reason, they gave the British a chance to breathe.

Now that Gao Jiu asked them to let go, the Japanese army stifled their anger and directly attacked the British army.

Seeing that the British were beaten into a panic, the Japanese army took the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, and sent an additional infantry brigade to directly attack Yangon City.

Not only that, the Japanese troops stationed in Singapore also launched an attack on Malaysia at the same time.

The British were completely flustered. They sent a telegram to the British Governor in Burma, asking them to ask for Gao Jiu's forgiveness and help them repel the Japanese attack.

Only then did the British Governor in Myanmar completely put down his posture and sincerely apologized to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu knew that these guys cared about eating but not beating, so if you don't show them how powerful they are, in a few days, once the Golden Triangle's help is no longer needed, their ugly faces will be exposed again.Therefore, not only did Gao Jiu not send troops to fight the Japanese army, but instead sent a telegram to the South Asian front army, asking them to increase their offensive strength and directly take down Yangon City, and beat the British completely at once.

The British Governor in Burma has only four British infantry regiments, plus some Burmese servants. How can they be the opponents of the Japanese army?Soon, a large area of ​​territory was lost, and the city of Yangon was also surrounded by heavy Japanese troops, which was at stake.

Only then did the British side know that if Gao Jiu was not given enough benefits, he would definitely sit idly by, so they found Li Shasha, promised to provide Li Shasha with various conveniences, and offered 1000 million pounds to ask Li Shasha to hand over Gao Jiu, I hope Gao Jiu can take action to drive away the Japanese army and protect the interests of the British in Burma.

Gao Jiu saw that it was almost done, and decided to accept it as soon as it was good, so he sent a telegram to the Japanese South Asian Front Army, asking them to withdraw their troops.

The Japanese army also made a lot of money in this attack. Now that Gao Jiu had spoken, they accepted it as soon as it was good and returned to the original defense zone.

After this incident, the British side discovered that Gao Jiu's influence in Southeast Asia was far from what the British could compete with there.They have more and more respect for the Golden Triangle, and the relationship between the two parties has become closer and closer.

However, after this incident, Gao Jiu was also reminded that he must maintain a high degree of vigilance against the British.After World War II, the British are likely to take military action against these areas.

Gao Jiu is not just guessing at this point, there are living examples later.For example, the French originally ruled Vietnam before World War II. After the end of World War II, the French made a comeback and reoccupied Vietnam, thus breaking out a long-term war.The British also broke out a long-term war with the original local anti-Japanese armed forces in Malaysia. For the benefit of their colonies in Southeast Asia, there is a great possibility that the British will take military action against the Golden Triangle in the future.

In order to avoid such a thing from happening, or to properly resolve it after it happens, it requires the Golden Triangle itself to have a strong military force.

After discussion, Gao Jiu and the leaders of Taohuashan decided to expand the size of the Golden Triangle Armed Forces, and decided to spend one year training [-] guerrillas. At the same time, they also strengthened the training of workers and militiamen to cope with the future situation.

Gao Jiu personally went to the Kokang Self-Government Committee, and then came to Yunnan. The three parties reached an agreement on military cooperation, forming a new iron triangle, and they will advance and retreat together in the future.

In order for the Kokang Self-Government Committee to arm a powerful army, Gao Jiu provided them with a full set of new equipment. For the Dian Army in Yunnan, Gao Jiu also increased investment, helping the King of Yunnan to reorganize the troops, making the troops of the Dian Army It has reached a strong force of 16 divisions equipped with new weapons.

The British are not fools either, they have seen all this and reported it to the country.After deduction, the military believes that once they take military action in Southeast Asia, the armed forces of all parties will be very powerful. If a war really starts, the cost of the war will be no less than the World War II they just experienced against Germany. the cost of.

With the current national strength of the UK, they simply don't have the strength to bear it, so the UK had to temporarily dismiss the idea of ​​​​taking the Kokang area and the Golden Triangle.

On this day, the British Governor in Malaysia came to the Golden Triangle to visit Gao Jiu, hoping that the Golden Triangle could send troops to repel the Japanese attack on Malaysia.

Gao Jiu secretly instructed the Japanese army to attack Malaysia.Gao Jiu only solved the Japanese army's attack on Burma, but deliberately did not ask the Japanese army to stop the attack on Malaysia, because Gao Jiu found that the british guys were not in good order, and he wanted to use the Japanese army's attack on the British army to achieve his other goal. important purpose.

The Golden Triangle is a three-way zone, and the cost of occupying it is relatively small. The actual control of the Taohuashan guerrillas has little opposition from neighboring countries.Therefore, so far, except for the British who have a little idea, there is no strong opposition from other countries.This is the main idea behind Gao Jiu's choice to start his own business here.

But after the war, it will enter an era of rapid economic development. The terrain of the Golden Triangle is surrounded by several countries, and the import and export of goods will be restricted by neighboring countries.Especially since I don't have access to the sea, this is a serious shortcoming.

Gao Jiu originally thought about continuing to expand the occupied area with the Golden Triangle as the center, reaching the seaside and having its own outlet.But in this case, there will be a large-scale conflict with the United Kingdom, and the cost of the war is too great.

So Gao Jiu decided to settle for the next best thing, and wanted to build his own port in Malaysia, and use railways and roads to pass through Myanmar and Malaysia to connect with them, which in disguise became the outlet of the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu knew that the British were not easy to deal with, and if he negotiated with them normally, it would be impossible to get the land for the construction of the port.Even if they can get it, the British will put forward a series of harsh conditions.

Only by using the Japanese army to let the British ask for themselves, will they willingly agree to Gao Jiu's request.

Therefore, Gao Jiu deliberately ignored the Japanese army in Malaysia's attack on the British army, and waited for the British governor in Malaysia to come to ask for help, and then made his own request.

After the British Governor in Malaysia arrived in the Golden Triangle, he first played emotional cards with Gao Jiu, saying that he was grateful to Gao Jiu for the help he had given them, and that the British government and the people of Malaysia, as well as the people of Malaysia, would be grateful for the help of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

What he said didn't appeal to Gao Jiu at all.Gao Jiu played sloppy with him, ate, drank and had fun with him, but didn't mention a word about sending troops to Malaysia.

The British Governor in Malaysia knows that Gao Jiu is a guy who has no money and can't afford it early.This time he helped Burma repel the Japanese attack, but the British side paid a high price. Naturally, there was a price to be paid for helping the British repel the Japanese attack on Malaysia, so he asked Gao Jiu what he wanted, as long as What he can satisfy will definitely be satisfied.

But the British Governor in Malaysia has no confidence in negotiating with Gao Jiu, because he is very poor now, if Gao Jiu asks him for money, he really can't give it.Asking for money from the United Kingdom will also make him appear incompetent as the governor.He only hoped that Gao Jiu's conditions could be resolved by him, the governor.

He originally thought that Gao Jiu would open his mouth and put forward very harsh conditions. Unexpectedly, Gao Jiu only asked to lease a piece of wasteland near the sea in Malaysia to the Golden Triangle after repelling the Japanese attack, but the lease period required to reach 150 years.

This is hardly a condition for the governor of Malaysia, because that area is now under the control of the Japanese army. If Gao Jiu wants to get that piece of land, he must first help the British army to drive away the Japanese army that entered Malaysia. In other words, there is no loss at all.

So he agreed immediately, but he still had to report the matter to the British side.

The governor hoped that Gao Jiu would give him some time, but Gao Jiu didn't care about it at all, anyway, it wasn't him who was worried now, but the British.

So he agreed to send a plane to take the governor back to the UK, and send fighter jets to escort him to ensure his safety.

Eager to repel the Japanese troops entering Malaysia, the governor immediately set off for England.Everything is as Gao Jiu expected. The idea of ​​the British at this time is to take back the control of Malaysia. Letting Gao Jiu own a deserted beach is nothing to them. What's more, Gao Jiu still rents from them, and there is no Let them lose face.So after a brief discussion, they agreed to Gao Jiu's request.

After Gao Jiu achieved the goal of the first step, he began to push forward and demanded the construction of roads and railways connecting Myanmar and Malaysia, which were mainly funded by the Golden Triangle, and the proceeds from the roads and railways were shared by the Golden Triangle and the United Kingdom.

The British picked up a big bargain for no reason, they were very satisfied with this, and agreed to Gao Jiu's request without hesitation.

After the British Governor in Malaysia flew back to the Golden Triangle, he immediately signed a lease agreement with Gao Jiu on behalf of the British government, as well as related agreements on railway and road construction.After signing the contract, he was very happy, thinking that he took advantage of Gao Jiu.

What they didn't know was that Gao Jiu was also very happy.As time goes by, he believes that the British will definitely regret it, and they will only be envious by then.

Gao Jiu got what he wanted, and he meant what he said.Immediately sent a telegram to the Japanese South Asian Front, asking them to withdraw from Malaysia.

The Japanese army was also very obedient, and immediately stopped its attack on Malaysia, and then withdrew its troops from Malaysia.

After this incident, Gao Jiu was greatly inspired.

He knew that Hong Kong would become an international metropolis in the future, with unique conditions for economic development there, so Gao Jiu decided to intervene in Hong Kong's related affairs now.

Since returning to the base camp, Hejian Dasaku has been eating and waiting to die, and is preparing to retire.

He really did not expect that he would suddenly receive a telegram from Gao Jiu asking him to come to the Golden Triangle.
