Tangcheng's road construction plan will take a long time, and many people feel that this plan is too time-consuming and costly. However, the experts responsible for route exploration are very supportive of Tangcheng's plan. Since ancient times, the main reason why troubles have always occurred in southern Xinjiang is because of the climate and terrain here. Southern Xinjiang is mountainous and forested, coupled with the presence of various poisonous smog and miasma, people from outside will be somewhat acclimated to Southern Xinjiang when they come to it. In addition, the roads are difficult to navigate and the water network is dense, which makes southern Xinjiang self-contained.

Tangcheng's road construction plan can be said to have broken the dilemma in southern Xinjiang. As long as there are roads, the influence of terrain in southern Xinjiang will be minimized. The professors at Southwest Associated University were overjoyed when they learned that Tang Cheng had prepared sufficient funds and materials after taking over Tang Cheng's job. At present, the country is in chaos, so the professors are sending telegrams and calling on friends to bring in many professionals from the country. Tangcheng fully supports the professors' initiative to invite their friends to go south. After all, Myanmar is short of professional talents.

Naturally, Hans couldn't be idle. On the second day after everyone discussed and made the decision, he took a group of men to Europe. With a large amount of counterfeit money, Hans's main task was to order a large number of road construction machinery and equipment from Europe. Tang Cheng, who left everything to others, is now only concerned about the development of the war in East Pakistan, while waiting for the British government to intervene. Compared with before, Downing Street was completely relaxed at this moment. Because Myanmar sent troops to East Pakistan, the attitude of the Indians became subtle.

Myanmar suddenly declared independence, but the British government only made an understatement. Not only did it not reprimand Myanmar, but its trade with Myanmar became even busier. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Burma's declaration of independence must have been at the behest of the British government. Therefore, the increased trade between Burma and the United Kingdom is likely to be the arms that the United Kingdom supports Burma. Otherwise, how could an agricultural country like Myanmar have so many tanks, aircraft and artillery to participate in the war?

The problems that discerning people can see can also be seen by Indians, but Myanmar ignores them at all. India, which has nothing to do, can only mobilize troops to support the East Pakistan theater while changing its attitude and seeking support from the British government. Downing Street, which had initially achieved results, originally thought it would be better to use this incident to make India give up the idea of ​​independence. However, they underestimated the determination of Indians to become independent. The Indian National Congress would rather declare defeat to Burma. , and still demands Indian independence.

Seeing that it was impossible to get more benefits, Downing Street, after repeated discussions, finally had no choice but to agree to Indian independence in accordance with its previous decision. However, according to Downing Street's thinking, Pakistan is still divided from the territory of India. When India declares its independence, the divided Pakistan also declares its independence. The British move was not only to weaken India's strength, but also to drive a nail into the hearts of Indians. Naturally, the Indians could not allow the emergence of Pakistan, so they firmly disagreed with the British proposal.

Ever since, under this situation, Tangcheng, who was on the border, received a telegram from London. Downing Street hoped that Tangcheng would expand the scale of the war against the East Pakistan area, and it would be best to defeat the encircled Indian army. Completely wiped out in the Dongba area. After receiving the telegram, Tang Cheng knew that the British were angry and wanted to use themselves to teach India a lesson. But without any hesitation, he immediately sent a telegram to Fang Shengli, asking him to intensify his attack.

However, Tangcheng did not explicitly request Fang Shengli in the telegram to annihilate the surrounded Indian army. Tangcheng's purpose is just to capture the Dongba area and use this area to tear a hole in the border with India. The British government wanted to use Tangcheng, and Tangcheng was also using the British. If not, Myanmar would not have found a reason to send troops to the East Pakistan region. In just two days after the Tangcheng telegram was sent, the surrounded Indian army suffered successive strong blows.

The pilots secretly trained in northern Myanmar seized this opportunity for actual combat, almost to the point where they could not stop flying. The non-stop sorties of the flying troops provided great help to the siege commanded by Fang Shengli, and even made the Indian army tremble with fear. Two days later, small-scale Indian troops finally began to appear and chose to surrender voluntarily. Fang Shengli, who was overjoyed to see this, simply organized the Indian soldiers who had previously chosen to surrender voluntarily, and began to shout to the Indian troops in the encirclement, asking them to come out and surrender.

Being surrounded for a long time and being continuously attacked by strong attacks, the Indian army, both soldiers and officers, were under tremendous pressure. At this moment, they heard a familiar voice calling them, and some thoughtful Indian officers and soldiers began to escape from the sight of their superiors at night and chose to surrender to their opponents. When Tangcheng learned of the battle situation on the front line, Fang Shengli and the others had obtained more than tens of thousands of prisoners of war, and the remaining Indian troops in the encirclement were less than 10,000. The large-scale surrender of the Indian army doubled the pressure on Fang Shengli and the others. In this case, Fang Shengli and the others chose to continue their march.

Seeing that the battle in the Dongba area was coming to an end, and the enemy troops showed signs of moving inland, the Indians were really panicking this time. The Indian National Congress party, which was still clinging to the conditions, finally had no choice but to accept the suggestions given by the British government and agree to the existence of Pakistan after intense discussions. However, they are not without conditions, that is, they hope that the British can come forward to mediate the war conflict between them and Myanmar, and hope to take back the East Pakistan area.

The opinions of the Indian National Congress Party were quickly communicated to Tangcheng by Thomas in the form of a telegram. After reading the telegram, Tang Cheng was furious. He had taken so much trouble to capture the Dongba area, so how could he just give it back to the Indians in vain? Seeing Tangcheng's resolute reply, Downing Street realized that they had misjudged Tangcheng's dependence on Britain. After all, Myanmar has declared independence and is no longer a member of the Commonwealth. It is now an independent country.

It was only now that Thomas, who was in India, finally figured out Tang Cheng's true intentions. From the very beginning, the Dare lovers had been eyeing the entire Dongba region. After some thought, the cunning Thomas immediately suggested to Downing Street that even if Pakistan achieved independence, their combat effectiveness was too poor and they were no match for the Indians. It is assumed that the Indians agree to divide Pakistan, and it is difficult for Pakistan to pose a substantial threat to India.

But Myanmar is different. The dispatch of troops to the East Pakistan region has already proved Myanmar's strength. Anyway, the situation in East Pakistan is similar to that of Pakistan. It is better to make peace this time and hand over the East Pakistan area to Myanmar's control. Once the Indians make provocative moves against the United Kingdom again and Pakistan cannot withstand it, the East Pakistan region will be the best intervention point. Thomas's suggestion caused heated discussions among politicians in Downing Street. Many politicians believed that Myanmar should not be given the opportunity to grow bigger.

However, many politicians feel that if the East Pakistan area is handed over to Myanmar for control, India can be well and effectively contained. After all, this East Pakistan conflict has well proved Myanmar's strength. Tangcheng, who learned of Thomas's suggestion, was naturally not idle. After he sent out a series of telegrams, Hans, who was far away in Europe, arranged for his men to start secretly visiting parliamentarians and politicians in London with gifts. This time, Tangcheng did not ask those nobles for help, because politicians and nobles in London were naturally opposed.

Thanks to the help of those politicians and congressmen, Downing Street quickly made a decision to add the provision of placing the East Pakistan area under Myanmar control as a condition for Indians seeking independence. Mountbatten, who was far away in India, only pointed out this condition tactfully, and was directly rejected by the Indian National Congress. They could not hand over the land that originally belonged to them to the enemy who was at war with them. However, the Indians obviously underestimated the British's methods of causing trouble. Mountbatten quickly retracted this article and instead announced the same conditions for East Pakistan's independence.

In the face of British coercion, they have already agreed to Pakistan's independence. It seems that adding an East Pakistan region is not unacceptable. The Indians, who thought they were smart, had already begun planning to force the East Pakistan region back into the arms of India as soon as they gained independence. However, the Indians underestimated the shamelessness of the British and Tangcheng. After several years of struggle for independence, India finally gained its independence through British mediation.

But no one expected that while the Indians were rejoicing, the Philippines would declare independence before them. From Tang Cheng's perspective, the independence of the Philippines is undoubtedly a precursor to the United States' preparations to fully intervene in Asian affairs. The U.S. government uses the independence of the Philippines to refresh their presence in Asia and to demonstrate their capabilities to other Asian countries.

The impatient Indians decided not to wait any longer. One month after the Philippines declared independence, India, which was not yet ready, eagerly declared its independence. According to the original historical process, the Philippines declared independence in July 1947, and one month later, in August 1947, India and Pakistan successively declared independence. This time, the Dongba region also declared independence. However, the day after the Dongba region declared independence, they announced in a high profile that they would join Myanmar and become the northwest province of Myanmar.

The Indians in Tangcheng, who were trying to hide things from the outside world, were furious. Such a large piece of land was given to the enemy as if it were a joke. How could the Indians swallow this bad breath? But Tangcheng had already estimated the consequences. Without waiting for the Indians to take countermeasures, Tangcheng ordered all fighter planes to take off, fly out of the Dongba area, and conduct a low-altitude flight show over many cities in India. By the way, He dropped many leaflets to show his attitude.
