Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

Wu Juewen left in a hurry. He wanted to send a telegram to his father because he felt it was necessary to report Tan Zhenhua’s analysis to his father immediately. Based on his understanding of his father, he actually knew what General Khin Nyunt would do. select. Since this is the case, then, father must also make careful preparations, and this time, even if it can be an extra day.

He has smelled gunpowder smoke.

"Dovish", although they have always advocated gentle negotiations to solve problems, they are all soldiers who are also soldiers who have been tested by blood and fire. The hand that has held a pen will never mind picking up a gun!

Wu Juewen was not the only one who smelled gunpowder smoke.

"Zhenhua, in that case, a big battle is inevitable?" Zhan Nuozhu asked, frowning.

Tan Zhenhua looked into Zhan Nuozhu’s eyes and replied frankly: “Yes, Brother Zhan, the current situation is very delicate, unless General Khin Nyunt is willing to give away the huge benefits of this nickel mine and is willing to eat other people’s leftovers. Otherwise, this war will break out."

"So is it possible for Xie Li's department to retreat a certain distance to give up the location of the mining area to avoid possible conflicts?" Zhan Nuozhu asked again, and explained at the same time: "From an official standpoint, it is currently impossible for China Huaxia to provide information to Xie Li's department. Any substantive help, and the terrain I have seen, is more suitable for the assault group operations of the large corps, but the combat style of the Xie Li Department has always been more focused on the guerrilla warfare in the deep mountains and old forests, facing the quantity, supply and equipment. I think there is almost no chance of victory for the Burmese jade government army, which is far better than my own.

"But in that way, this nickel mine basically has no relationship with China, because as long as the Xie Li department retreats, the vacuum of rights left by it will be immediately occupied by the department of Than Shwe who has learned of this, and this mine will also Naturally, he has fallen into his control. At that time, he will naturally decide how to distribute the spoils. I am afraid that even President Wu Naiwen has to acquiesce in this fact."

Tan Zhenhua frowned while staring at the high-powered military Burmese jade map left by Wu Juewen.

Zhan Nuozhu said: "It's just a nickel mine. Why should it be considered so important? And this mine was not originally in your plan, right? It's just a by-product, although this by-product does seem more attractive. However, for a by-product, the Xie Li Department had to make a great sacrifice. It must be an inappropriate and cost-effective business. Zhenhua, I know how much you spent to arm the Xie Li Department. Oh, even for your current wealth. Say, you don’t care about that little money at all, but you have worked so hard to build this team. Don’t you just hope to change the political situation of Burmese jade? For this mine, you can change the history of this team. The power is put in, how do you look at it is putting the cart before the horse?"

After hearing Zhan Nuozhu's advice, Tan Zhenhua couldn't help but hesitate.

Indeed, the lame man was right. This nickel mine was not in his original plan at all. It was a variable that suddenly appeared, but this variable was too big and tempting!

Think about it, if the Ministry of Xie Li controls this largest nickel mine in Asia, on the one hand, it can rely on exporting its production to greatly improve the economic self-sufficiency of the base area, on the other hand, it can also remove more labor from the illegal cultivation of opium. How good would it be to liberate from the means of earning a living and switch to a legal miner career?

Such a large mine, to say nothing, has to recruit tens of thousands of miners. While providing so many legal jobs in one fell swoop, it also brings the children of the miners’ families that have supported these miners. All kinds of service industries generated by the basic needs of the family... There is no doubt that if the mine is taken, the Ministry of Xie Li can definitely be on the front line of Tai Gong-Mogok, thoroughly take root and gain the hearts of all the people. Support!

What's more, the tens of thousands of miners under his command are simply a steady stream of reserve soldiers for the future Xie Li Ministry!

Moreover, this move will improve the international reputation of Bao Qixia and Xie Li, and it will be of great benefit!

Therefore, if possible, Tan Zhenhua really does not want to give up this mine.

He unreservedly explained his ideas to Zhan Nuozhu, who gave suggestions after careful consideration: "Zhenhua, I would like to remind you a few words as a private person, since the benefits are so great, Then it’s worth taking a risk, but you have to solve two problems. One is that you have to understand and respect Xie Li’s own views and attitudes on this matter; second, if Xie Li is willing to vote, how can you help He won."

Tan Zhenhua fell into the long exam again. To be honest, he was least sure of the second one.

From the military map, Taigongdang is adjacent to the Irrawaddy River to the west, and the north, east, and south sides are all plains formed by the impact of the river. It is the most suitable battlefield for large corps to carry out assaults. Xie Li's battlefield is obviously on this frontal battlefield. Suffer.

Even after the capture of Mogok, his power has been greatly supplemented and developed, even if Burmese Yu can't take all of Mandalay's power to deal with Xie Li, but even if it is only a small part of the power, Xie Li It will also be very difficult to deal with. After all, they are government forces with all aircraft, tanks and artillery, and they are better at fighting such large-scale battles.

And there is one more thing. Just relying on Taigong as the terrain of Pingchuan, even if Xie Li is down, how can he defend?

This is very different from the difficulty of staying in Mogok, nestled in the old forest deep in the mountains.

For example, the difficulty of Shou Mogok can be evaluated as "easy" for the old guerrilla fighter Xie Li, and the difficulty of Shou Tai Gong is basically "Hell"...

What's more, when Taigong has a national highway No. 311 connected to Mandalay, the transportation is convenient. Even if the government forces lose for a while, they can continuously bring in new soldiers and supplies through this highway. It can also drain the strength of Xie Li.

Everyone knows that fighting is the logistics. Fighting in the area connected to the central city by the highway network, fighting with the government forces in logistics, how reckless is Xie Li?

To avoid falling into this situation, there is only one possible way, which is to find a key node along the route of this National Highway No. 311. This node must be difficult to defend and be able to cut off Taigongdang and Man. Dele’s connection can also ensure that the Xie Li Department can play a very high exchange ratio in the inevitable counterattack of the defensive government after occupying this node-that is, forcing General Dan Rui to open up the road to Taigongdang. Do not attack and occupy this node, and in order to capture this node, he must pay an unbearable and heavy price, so he will retreat in the face of difficulties.

Is there such a place to deal with it?

Tan Zhenhua began to search carefully along Highway 311 on the high-power military map.

Then, a place name full of hints and symbolism attracted his attention.

WarHpyuTaung.
