A week later, more than a dozen masters of inner palace building who were hired heavily from Peking and Tianjin, along with many disciples and disciples, were directly sent to Myanmar on a military transport plane. They were originally scared to death, but they felt relieved when they learned that Tang Cheng hired them with a lot of money just to build a palace here. Tangcheng, who was repeatedly urged by London, finally declared Myanmar's independence three days later on the auspicious day chosen by the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master.
Myanmar's declaration of independence was like a bombshell, causing a lot of speculation in the outside world. Other countries and forces that have been paying attention to Asian affairs have always thought that after Jordan, the first independent country in South Asia should be India. However, none of them expected that Myanmar would take the lead this time. When Myanmar declared its independence, London just expressed its views indifferently, and nothing more happened. The Soviet Union and the United States, who were waiting to see the excitement, also felt lonely and confused.
India's reaction was just as Downing Street expected. Myanmar's declaration of independence really stimulated them. Just the day after Tangcheng declared Myanmar's independence, Mountbatten's official residence suffered a round of attacks. The Congress Party, which had originally chosen to sit down and go on a hunger strike, was unable to control the attack by Sister Erliansa. India was in complete chaos. The British intelligence officers lurking in India saw that the situation was turning into chaos as they expected, and they immediately began to create public opinion guidance in India, especially in the East Pakistan area, according to Downing Street's plan.
As the first conflict broke out, bloodshed broke out in the East Pakistan region, which had always been at odds with the Indian central government. At the same time, along the border between East Pakistan and Myanmar, Indian border troops shot and killed border residents. Among these border residents who were shot dead, there happened to be a scientific expedition team that came to the Myanmar border to search for precious plant samples. Moreover, there are not only British and French people in this scientific expedition team, but also Americans and three reporters.
What's even more unfortunate is that the three reporters accompanying the team happened to bring cameras to tell the story of the shooting scene by the Indian border troops, and they took a clear picture. Many coincidences led to this explosive news. Two teams of Myanmar youth soldiers who were conducting mountain training in the nearby mountains and forests successfully rescued the remaining scientific expedition members and border residents. By the way, they were also encouraged by the scientific expedition team to fight. Many Indian border guards were killed and injured, and three officers of the Indian border guards were captured.
The border attack instantly ignited world public opinion. No matter how the Indian National Congress defended it, the film taken by reporters accompanying the scientific expedition team has already illustrated the truth of the problem. Under this circumstance, Tang Cheng, as the governor of Myanmar, immediately ordered the Myanmar armed forces to cross the border into the East Pakistan region and ask India to explain the matter. Fang Shengli, who had been lurking in the border tunnel for more than half a month, was immediately overjoyed. With the cooperation of two German troops and a regiment of northern Myanmar armed forces, he quickly and fiercely crossed the border.
Not only India, but also other countries in the world did not expect that Myanmar, which had just declared independence, would actually send troops to India. Just when the Indian National Congress was angry, heavy-armed troops commanded by Fang Shengli had appeared in the East Pakistan area. India has deployed many troops in the East Pakistan area. They originally thought that Myanmar was small and easy to bully. However, when Myanmar's fighter jets took the lead in entering the airspace near East Pakistan, they realized that they had been wrong.
The fighter planes quietly supported by the British were divided into three batches by Tangcheng and carried out uninterrupted and continuous attacks on the Indian troops in East Pakistan. When the heavily armed troops commanded by Fang Shengli arrived at the fighting position, they found that the Indian troops here had already collapsed. Except for a few Indian troops who still stayed in place, other Indian troops deployed in the East Pakistan area had already fled. They even left weapons, ammunition and a large amount of supplies behind and did not take them away.
Fang Shengli was born in the Eighth Route Army. The purpose of the Eighth Route Army after the war was to return the loot to the warehouse. But this time, Fang Shengli did not pay attention to the loot, but commanded the troops to quickly pursue the fleeing enemies. By the time the Congress Party learned the news, it was already nine hours later, and Myanmar armed forces had already captured half of East Pakistan. Tactics such as dividing and encircling, encircling and encircling points for reinforcements, roundabout strikes, and targeted eliminations were used by Fang Shengli one after another, causing the Indian army to complain repeatedly.
Just like Myanmar's declaration of independence, the U.S. government, which learned that Myanmar was sending troops to the East Pakistan region, was originally waiting to see the excitement in Myanmar. In their view, Myanmar and India were not equal in size at all, so Myanmar could only be the loser. But overnight, the news they received was that most of India's East Pakistan region had been captured by Burmese armed forces. The Indian army, which they were optimistic about, was retreating one after another and was no match for the Burmese armed forces.
Myanmar's armed forces have a huge advantage, which makes the politicians in Downing Street very proud. They even ordered Mountbatten to be tougher on India. Indians are not fools. Mountbatten's two reactions made them realize that what happened in East Pakistan was probably a trick played by the British behind the scenes. Therefore, they must not bow their heads. They can only mobilize troops and begin to increase the number of troops in the East Pakistan area to fight back the Myanmar armed forces entering the country.
However, at this time, Tangcheng temporarily formed two Burmese militia forces with more than 30,000 people, and asked them to follow the route opened by the heavy armored forces and begin to station in the Dongba area and take over the defense area of the German infantry regiment. Fang Shengli relieved the pressure. Myanmar began to increase its troops, doubling the pressure on India. Fisher, who commanded the German troops at the front, also recruited a large number of East Pakistani civilians to build a temporary airport in their controlled area. Moving the airport to the East Pakistan area will make it more convenient to support the forward troops and strengthen the attack on the Indian army.
The conflict that broke out in the East Pakistan region of India was far less tragic than the war in the Middle East, but its impact was huge, and it especially attracted special attention from the Soviet Union and the United States. But Myanmar has now declared independence and has been recognized by the United Kingdom. Myanmar's sending troops is not an unprovoked invasion, but to force India to punish the murderer and the real culprit behind the border shooting. Therefore, no matter whether the Soviet Union or the Americans think about it, they can't find a reason to blame Burma. After all, Burma sent troops for a reason.
However, some people have suggested that the shooting of border residents on the Myanmar border may be a designed trap. But at that time, the Indian border troops shot and killed scientific expedition members from the United States, Britain and France. What the three reporters recorded with their cameras was even more impeccable. Therefore, this kind of conspiracy theory does not have a big market in Europe. Most Europeans who know about this matter are condemning India instead of the newly independent Myanmar.
Under the covert manipulation of Downing Street, the intensity of the border incident has never cooled down. As the incident progressed, many Indians living in the UK were criticized in person by local residents, and there were even attacks and sieges against them. move. Soon, Fang Shengli and the others came into conflict with the reinforcements dispatched from India. Fang Shengli, who did not want unnecessary losses to his troops, chose to retreat proactively to avoid the opponent's edge. The reinforcements from the Indian army mistakenly thought that the opponent was afraid, so they launched a large-scale attack, but ignored the constraints of the terrain.
Fang Shengli and the others withdrew again and again, and soon led the Indian reinforcements to the battlefield location selected by Fang Shengli. The Burmese militia troops, who had been serving as vigilantes in the rear, were mobilized to withstand the attack of the Indian reinforcements head-on, while Fang Shengli's heavy-armed troops and German infantry regiments quickly interspersed and launched a surprise attack on the Indian army from both wings. The battle lasted only one day. Not only did the Myanmar militia troops block the Indian army's attack from the front, but they also caused a large number of casualties to the Indian army.
Just when the Indian army thought they had captured the main force of the Myanmar armed forces, Fang Shengli and the others successively attacked multiple key points from both wings and cut off the logistics channels between the Indian army and the rear. The Indian Army Command realized that they had fallen into a trap, but they were already surrounded and had no way to retreat. What awaited them was either death in battle or surrender. Myanmar's armed forces have an absolute advantage, which is what Downing Street hopes to see most. At this time, Mountbatten can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Fang Shengli, who surrounded the Indian reinforcements, quickly received a secret order from Tangcheng, so Fang Shengli immediately began to adjust his deployment. While continuing to surround the Indian army, Fang Shengli mobilized some troops and began to sort out the entire East Pakistan area. All Dongba people who maintained close ties with India were identified one by one, and after all their property was confiscated, they were driven out of the Dongba area. Along with them, there were many ordinary people who were driven out of the Dongba area. Tangcheng did not want instability in the Dongba area.
Tibetan and Burmese are popular in the Dongba area, so the Burmese militiamen transferred here from Tangcheng did not have many obstacles in communication. With the emergence of a large number of Burmese militias, the chaotic situation in the East Pakistan area gradually calmed down over time. Compared with the terrain of northern Myanmar, the Dongba area has many plains and is very suitable for large-scale farming. The Myanmar militiamen who were ordered to be transferred here like it very much.
Military action was only Tang Cheng's first move. As the situation in the East Pakistan region stabilized, his second move began to be put on the agenda with the transfer of a large number of Burmese militiamen. Large-scale recruitment was Tang Cheng's second move to dismantle the various forces in East Pakistan. He planned to take advantage of the British government's mediation to start building roads and railways connecting Myanmar and the East Pakistan region. When mountains and rivers meet, Tangcheng plans to recruit more than 100,000 workers from Dongba and Myanmar to build a high-standard road and affiliated railway to connect Myanmar and Dongba.
