Chapter 1729 Happy cooperation
Fang Jianwei said: "Aung San and Wu Nu formed a Myanmar national army. Do you know this?"
"I know." Bamo nodded and said, "I can't spare these two Burmese traitors."
Fang Jianwei said: "Prime Minister, do you know that the power of the Myanmar National Army has penetrated into the area controlled by the Myanmar government?"
"Is this happening?" Bamo was shocked when he heard this.
Fang Jianwei said: "Just this morning, a small unit of the Myanmar National Army found the hidden place of our Armored 1st Brigade and guided the Japanese Air Force to launch an air strike on them."
"Ah?" Bamo was shocked when he heard this, "What happened in the end?"
Fang Jianwei said with a dark face: "The 1st Armored Brigade has been completely destroyed!"
"What? The entire army was destroyed?!" Bamo was shocked when he heard this, and his heart became anxious.
On the one hand, Bamo was worried that the Chinese would send anger to him, and on the other hand, he was actually worried that if the Chinese expeditionary force was defeated, Myanmar would fall into the hands of Aung San and Wu Nu. He wanted to be a puppet prime minister, but he was afraid he would not be able to be the one.
Fang Jianwei stared at Bamo deeply and said, "According to my opinion, the Myanmar National Army has set us up and caused us to suffer such a big loss. Then we should be tooth for tooth and blood for blood. However, we, Chief Zhong, believe that the Burmese housework should still be handled by the Burmese themselves, and we Chinese should not interfere."
"Sir Zhong is generous." Bamo said quickly, "Brother Fang, please tell Chief Zhong, just talk about the affairs of the Myanmar National Army. I, Bamo, will definitely handle it well, and I will definitely give him an explanation!"
Fang Jianwei nodded and said, "Prime Minister, what are you going to do?"
After looking at Fang Jianwei, Bamo asked tentatively: "Brother Fang, I plan to form an armed police force in the police station to maintain public order in normal times. If there is a war requirement, I can cooperate with the Chinese Expeditionary Force to fight against the Japanese and Myanmar National Army. I wonder what you think, brother?"
Bamo knew very well that it was not only Fang Jianwei who could not make the decision when forming an army, but also afraid that Zhong Yi would not make the decision, and he had to get the approval of the British government.
However, if an armed force is formed within the framework of the police station, just as long as Fang Jianwei nods.
Why did Fang Jianwei have to nod? The reason is very simple, because Fang Jianwei has equipment. Although he has someone, he has no guns, so Fang Jianwei can help him get the gun.
"Police Force?" Fang Jianwei sneered, "The police force is not justified, what's the point? If you want to form a regular army, just form a regular army."
"Create a regular army?" Bamo said in surprise, "Brother Fang, is it really OK? Is this okay?"
"What's the problem?" Fang Jianwei said, "You guy is the real prime minister of the Myanmar government. Isn't it natural to form an army in the name of the government?"
"But..." Bamo swallowed and whispered, "The British government will definitely not agree."
"British government?" Fang Jianwei said disdainfully, "What can you do if they don't agree? Transfer the British and Burmese troops back to suppress them? Borrow them both!"
When Bamo heard this, his eyes lit up.
Yes, Myanmar is the final say in the Chinese Expeditionary Force, so what do you care about the British's attitude?
When Mamo rubbed his hands, he suppressed his excitement and said, "But, but I can't get a gun."
"I can get the gun." Fang Jianwei waved his hand and said, "The weapons and equipment provided by the US government to our Chinese Expeditionary Force will soon arrive in northern Myanmar, so a large number of British and Burmese military equipment will be replaced soon, which is enough for the Myanmar government to arm more than a dozen infantry divisions!"
"Ten, more than a dozen infantry divisions?" Bamo began to stutter.
Then he was scared, and Bamo shook his head and said, "That, don't you need so many troops, right?"
Look at how brave you are? Fang Jianwei was disdainful, but his face did not show up. He continued: "At the beginning, there must be no such many troops, but three or five infantry divisions still need them."
"Yes, yes, yes." Bamo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Three or five divisions still need them."
Speaking of this, Bamo said again: "By the way, Aung San and their name are Myanmar National Army, what are our names?"
Fang Jianwei said in a deep voice: "Myanmar is like our China. It is a multi-ethnic country, so it is called a single Burmese national army that is too narrow and is not conducive to uniting the people of all ethnic groups, so we should be called a joint army!"
"Myanmar United Army?" Bamo said in a lit up eyes, "This name sounds nice and grand enough!"
Fang Jianwei said again: "But then again, it's not that easy to form an army. It's not just someone with a gun, but it also requires an officer! So you have to run a military academy!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Bamo nodded repeatedly and said, "I want to run a military academy."
It is naturally politically beneficial to Bamo be appointed as the Prime Minister of Myanmar by the British government.
Let’s not talk about anything else, the political sensitivity is still very high. Although Fang Jianwei did not say it clearly, Bamo had already heard his implicit meaning. Fang Jianwei simply wanted control of the army.
Bamo has no objection to this for the time being, because the weapons, equipment and even funds for forming the army were provided by the Chinese Expeditionary Force behind Fang Jianwei, so it is understandable that the Chinese want to control the Myanmar Joint Army.
Even if Bamo wants to seize control of the army, he has to form the army first, right?
What's more, what Tabamo needs most now is to use the Chinese to get rid of British rule.
For Tabamo, Myanmar's independence is the top priority, and everything else has to be back.
Besides, even if you will inevitably turn against the Chinese in the end, it will be decades later.
What is the situation in Myanmar decades later? God knows that maybe the Chinese have returned to China long ago.
Therefore, both of them have a space for cooperation. Bamo continued, "I know nothing about running a military academy. I'm afraid I have to help you with this matter. Why don't you be the principal of this military academy?"
"How can I do it?" Fang Jianwei shook his head and said, "But I will ask Chief Zhong to send a senior officer with rich military experience and rich military academy education experience to establish a military academy. As for Prime Minister, just wait to be the first commander of the Myanmar Joint Army."
Bamo laughed loudly when he heard this, and seemed very happy.
Bamo was in a happy mood, so Fang Jianwei was naturally even happier.
He didn't expect that this matter would go so smoothly, and that Bamo would be so well-educated.
