The person who came to visit was Dechen Thein Phye, one of the main leaders of the independent underground movement in the British Territory of Burma. After being exposed to advanced ideas, he had always wanted to go to the mainland to seek help from the Eighth Route Army because they recognized the experience of the Eighth Route Army’s armed struggle. Suitable for them.
Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force group suddenly emerged and wiped out all the Japs in Sagaing and Mandalay. Deqin Dengpei was quite surprised. He was not sure why the expeditionary force that was not good last year was so powerful now.
After a period of observation and inquiring, he finally learned that the Second Theater Expeditionary Force Group was different from last year. They turned out to be a force mainly from the 8th Route. So Dechen Dengpei couldn't help but came to the door, knowing that this was his dream partner.
It's just that at this time, Gao Jianwu didn't have a reliable local contact channel here, so he found Gao Jianwu after a lot of twists and turns.
"General Gao, I am the main person in charge of the war. I am very happy that the general can help us regain our land and drive the little devils out of Sagaing and Mandalay." Dechen Dempei said.
He is not tall, a little over 1.60 meters, and has dark skin unique to this area, but he looks more elegant and has the air of a scholar, not like a mature native.
Frankly speaking, Gao Jianwu did not know much about the specific situation of the independent factions in the British-controlled Burma during this period. Even when he traveled through time, he didn't know much about the situation here. He only knew that there were various gangs and armed forces in various places.
】
No one can develop and unify the country. Of course, at this time, they did not have such an opportunity, but various forces began to have their own ideas and wanted to be independent.
"Welcome, Mr. Denpei." Gao Jianwu said calmly. He wanted to contact the local influential figures, but he still didn't know what the tendencies of these figures were.
So when this person found him after many rounds, Gao Jianwu still felt that he could meet and interact with him.
"I don't know why Mr. Dempei came to see me."
"It's like this. After we came into contact with advanced ideas, we particularly admired your career, so we once sent people to your side to seek help, but they were intercepted before they could find a place." Deqin Dengpei started a little cautiously. Explain your intention.
"I didn't expect you to come here today. I want your help. I hope we can arm ourselves so that we can work with you to drive the little devils out of our land."
"How many people are there in your organization now?" Gao Jianwu asked.
"Although we only have five or six hundred people now, if we have weapons and can build our own armed force, then our appeal will be stronger, and we will soon grow to tens of thousands." Deqin Dengpei Said a little embarrassed.
Gao Jianwu couldn't help but was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know what a person like this could do.
However, seeing that everyone was learning the same advanced idea, Gao Jianwu decided to give them some opportunities first.
"In this case. If you want to arm the members of your organization, it is not something that can be accomplished by simply issuing weapons. The whole process involves a lot of learning, if Mr. Dempei can trust me.
We can start with some military training and ideological training.
Mr. Dempei can gather a group of trustworthy people to come to us for intensive training first.
Your other comrades are free to develop new organizational members. Now Mandalay and Sagaing are safe zones for you. We will not set up obstacles to your actions at all. You need to develop and grow as soon as possible to form 5,000 Human scale.
I wonder if Mr. Dempei can do this? "
"Yes! We can definitely do it!" Deqin Dengpei said overjoyed after hearing Gao Jianwu's words. He had been looking forward to this opportunity for a long time, but he didn't expect that today Gao Jianwu would solve his biggest problem all at once.
He doesn't think that 5,000 people is very small. You have to know that that guy Wengshan went to Xiaoli and developed there for nearly a year. So far, he only has a few thousand people. Of course, Xiaoli has restrictions on them. Wengshan That kid was also a waste. He dared to mess with the expeditionary force group, but now he was beaten and half of the troops were gone.
If he had a 5,000-man army at his disposal, he would be the strongest armed force here.
"That's it, Mr. Dempei, we will divide the people into two parts, one in Monywa and the other in Mandalay for secret training. You need to gather your organization members as soon as possible."
Gao Jianwu said vigorously.
What he values is that these people are learning the same idea, so some of his ideological transformation work can be used on these people. However, due to different ethnic relations, they cannot be trained in the same way as in the mainland for many things.
But at this stage, everyone has the same interests and should still be able to cooperate. On the other hand, militarily, they also need to be transformed into new warriors as soon as possible.
Gao Jianwu needs to use them to achieve some of his own goals when necessary. After all, the time his troops stayed here was not long after the Japs were driven away.
But Gao Jianwu will never make them strong, because Gao Jianwu knows that these people may turn into white-eyed wolves sooner or later.
This kind of thing comes from the later generations, he has seen too much, and it has nothing to do with faith.
Soon something happened on Ding Wei's side. This time Ding Wei moved the training headquarters to Mandalay. I started discussing the specific training matters with Gao Jianwu. The two of them were very good at talking together and quickly decided on what they wanted to train.
On the one hand, they were given military training knowledge, and on the other hand, they started some ideological transformation. No matter what, they must first identify with the Eighth Route Army. Before that, Gao Jianwu would never arm themselves with them.
But Colonel Smith didn't know about these things, and Gao Jianwu wouldn't be stupid enough to talk about these secret things casually. Chu Yunfei and the others didn't know much about these things. They just knew that Gao Jianwu was organizing a group of local people to conduct military training.
After all, the scale was not small, and hundreds of people were shooting and cannons. It was not appropriate to keep Colonel Smith from knowing about it at all, so Gao Jianwu used both overt and covert means to give Colonel Smith some limited information, which made him appear to be very candid.
The expeditionary force cluster was short of troops, and Gao Jianwu wanted to use local people to supplement some auxiliary military personnel to maintain local security, which they could understand.
...
At the Mandalay headquarters, Wang Shaopu, deputy leader of the Nanyang Working Group, came to the door with a group of people, and Gao Jianwu greeted him enthusiastically.
"Commander Gao, this is Mr. Huang Qingyuan, the boss of Nanyang Qingyuan Industrial Group." Wang Shaopu pointed to the energetic old man at the head and introduced. "Qingyuan Industrial Group has dozens of subsidiaries in Nanyang with tens of thousands of employees, ranking among the best among Chinese businessmen in Nanyang."
"Welcome Mr. Huang!" Gao Jianwu stepped forward to hold Huang Qingyuan's hand and said enthusiastically.
"Commander Gao, Huang came here presumptuously and the journey was far away. He didn't bring anything good, so he bought a hundred sheep from the local labor force. I expressed my feelings and hoped that Commander Gao wouldn't dislike it." Although Huang Qingyuan saw that Gao Jianwu was a bit young. It's too much, but I don't mean to show off my old age at all. Instead, I give a greeting gift as soon as I come up.
Although 100 sheep is not too much, if it is distributed, each person in Gao Jianwu's expeditionary force group may be able to get a few pieces of meat. But their attitude is very clear.
"Then why are you so embarrassed? Thank you Mr. Huang for your strong support to us. We accept this kindness." Gao Jianwu did not delay.
Of course he knew the purpose of these people's visit, but it would be better to smoothen the relationship between them in advance, because they still had a lot to talk about next. If it doesn't go well at the beginning, subsequent cooperation will be very troublesome.
"Commander Gao, this is Mr. Qin Jiafeng, general manager of Reliance Group. Reliance Group is also one of the top ten Chinese businessmen in Nanyang. Its companies involve finance, mining, shipping and other industries, with tens of thousands of employees distributed throughout Nanyang."
"Welcome to Mr. Qin!" Gao Jianwu held Qin Jiafeng's hand. "I heard that Mr. Qin helped transport a batch of our supplies to the mainland. Thank you very much for Mr. Qin's help!"
"Commander-in-Chief is too polite. We are just doing our little bit. Our Reliance Group has a few channels for shipping. If we can be found in the future, I hope Commander-in-Chief Gao will not be polite." Although Qin Jiafeng did not send it as a gift. Mr. Huang's 100 sheep are even more valuable because of his promise.
Because Gao Jianwu will need to ship too many things by sea in the future.
How to transport it back safely is still a big problem. If Qin Jiafeng is willing to help, then half of the problem will be solved.
...
There are more than a dozen wealthy businessmen who can enter the headquarters. All of these wealthy businessmen are large companies with more than thousands of employees. They are all powerful. Some have been operating in Nanyang for hundreds of years, and their businesses are spread across all walks of life. This is exactly what Gao Jianwu needs. partners.
After the introductions were completed one by one, Gao Jianwu led the group of wealthy businessmen to the living room.
"Everyone, I won't say much to be polite. I have invited you here from thousands of miles away today. What we want to talk about is how to develop the mineral resources here. We have previously decided to set up a company to develop these minerals. Among them Our investment entity is Nanyang Investment Co., Ltd. I believe there is no doubt about this."
"So next we have to turn this thing into a real investment. First of all, the first company we want to establish is a mining company, and the second company is a jewelry company. These two companies have to register with the British Myanmar Government. After obtaining the permit and then starting the work, we must complete all the procedures. Don't let others find loopholes."
"As for the name of the company, I suggest Xingsi Mining Co., Ltd. and Mogok Jewelry Co., Ltd. What do you think? Our purpose is to drive the development of the local economy, help local people improve their living standards, and achieve win-win results. "
Naturally, no one has any doubts about the company's name. It's just a code name. It doesn't matter what it is called. What they value most is how to operate in practice and share benefits.
Before they came, they had just heard that Monywa had been conquered, but they did not expect that even Mogok would be conquered when they arrived here. In this way, the business would become bigger.
No one is sure what the situation is like in the copper mine in Monywa. The specific situation will only be known after exploration. But Mogok’s jewelry business is very famous.
This business, let alone a monopoly, can make a lot of money as long as you get involved.
Because luxury goods like jewelry are promising products on the market no matter what age they are.
"Both companies are controlled by Nanyang Investment Co., Ltd. The annual profit dividend is not less than 45%. 5% of the annual profit is used for local public welfare construction such as repairing bridges and roads. Everyone, see this big principle any questions?"
After Gao Jianwu proposed such a condition, the people below immediately began to whisper.
After all, this involves personal interests.
"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say." Huang Qingyuan stood up and said to everyone.
"Since Commander-in-Chief Gao has pointed out the direction for everyone, then we should just follow the direction of Commander-in-Chief Gao. It's just that I don't understand something. After the establishment of the mining company, will mining and sales be put together? We still have to Don’t bring smelting and jewelry finishing locally?”
Huang Qingyuan is worthy of being a mature man in his old age. What he saw was an industrial chain in the mining industry. Gao Jianwu has not yet explained how this industry chain is planned.
You must know that mining and selling ore are only a small part of this industry chain. The real profit lies at the back end of this industry chain, smelting and finishing.
If Gao Jianwu releases all these, then his Qingyuan Group will account for the majority of them.
"Mr. Huang asked this question well. Our mining company is only responsible for exploration and mining. Nanyang Investment Co., Ltd. holds 100% of the shares, while the sales and later smelting and processing are all left to other companies. Among them, the agent of the sales company Right, I'm going to put it up for auction.
As for the smelting company, a new Xingsi Copper Co., Ltd. will be established, with Nanyang Investment Co., Ltd. holding 51% of the shares, and everyone can freely invest in the remaining shares.
As for the jewelry company, we integrate mining and finishing, and separate the sales channels into auctions. The sales company's agency rights last for 5 years each. "
As soon as Gao Jianwu said this, everyone's discussion became more heated. Because these all mean new investment opportunities.
However, what they discussed was only how to obtain these shares and how to obtain the agency rights of the sales company. In their view, it is very difficult for a single company to eat up such a big piece of fat. It is impossible for one company to dominate.
So they began to discuss together vertically and horizontally. Gao Jianwu didn't care how they conducted underground transactions. In his opinion, these were just a means to control the supply of raw materials.
No matter how they operate, they must let their subordinates monitor each other or compete with each other, so that they cannot only take advantage and eventually let Gao Jianwu lose control.
Don't look at it. Gao Jianwu now has the main controlling stake in this company through Nanyang Investment Co., Ltd. In the eyes of these old and mature businessmen, if they don't want to find a way to check and balance, they have many ways to bypass this structure.
But now Gao Jianwu separates production and sales, artificially dividing the industrial chain into two links, so there are many places that need to be connected in the middle. It is very difficult to unite and establish this structure, because different people are involved on both sides. Interests cannot be monolithic.
If you want to deceive others, the more links involved, the harder it will be for them to operate.
In this era of extremely backward information technology, Gao Jianwu can only control through this method. How can it be that in the 21st century, a computer informatization can realize the transparency of production and operation, and make the entire industrial chain transparent. The actual production and sales situation can be seen at any time, and no one can deceive it.
Now we can only rely on manual accounting, and we must do more in this link. In this case, the probability of making false accounts will be lower, because if there is a problem in one place, problems will follow in many places. It's very difficult if you want to make it flat.
After waiting for these businessmen to digest for a while, Gao Jianwu continued.
"Of course, what we are talking about today is not to be finalized today, but to provide an opinion for everyone's reference. After you go back, more people can participate. In the future, we will not only be in the British-Burmese territory, but In the future, we will also attack many areas occupied by the Japs in Nanyang, and we hope to implement this method of operation locally."
"We will also have the ability to ensure the safety of everyone's investments in the future." Gao Jianwu said his last words with arrogance.
At this time, if another person said such a sentence, some people might feel that they are overestimating their capabilities. After all, their own land is still under the occupation of Xiaozhi.
But when these words came out of Gao Jianwu's mouth, everyone present felt very at ease, because they had felt Gao Jianwu's power on the ground.
Mandalay is already under the actual control of Gao Jianwu. The little Japanese division originally stationed here has been wiped out. This is the best advertisement.
After hearing what Gao Jianwu said, everyone decided not to be so anxious. They began to discuss the matter more relaxedly and how to start it.
Of course, these specific matters should be handled by people like Wang Shaopu, and Gao Jianwu will no longer interfere with such specific work.
He began to bring people familiar with local affairs in Myanmar from Wang Shaopu for in-depth exchanges and communication, and to clarify the distribution and historical origins of various local forces.
For Gao Jianwu, supporting a fairly reliable force that can guarantee the interests of the Ping An base in the local area is now the most important thing.
After getting to know this organization, it seems that it is okay. At least when the Jaap was ruling, they were able to resolutely fight against the Jaap and did not take refuge in him. At the same time, they can't stand the Burmese and British authorities. In this case, they actually don't have much support outside.
Gao Jianwu, on behalf of the Eighth Route Army, can accept them, provide them with help, and build up his own armed forces. Then they will have no other ideas at this time.
So for the time being, this is also a local force that can be developed.
In addition, Zen Bang and Wa Bang are now also in Gao Jianwu's sight. The reason is simple, because they have difficulty dealing with the Wei people who make up the majority of the population.
Although the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. But for some people who have their own ideas and can't find foreign help outside, Gao Jianwu thinks they can still get in touch.
After all, Gao Jianwu is not sure to what extent the Yi Gong has developed among the Yi people.
There are two completely different systems here than in the domestic development base, and Gao Jianwu can only cross the river by feeling the stones.
So after doing some research, Gao Jianwu chose three different organizations as targets of support.
The first one is of course Yan Gong. Gao Jianwu has promised to build a local armed force of more than 5,000 people for them. According to local customs, these people will be organized into five regiments, which are basically local armed forces mainly equipped with light weapons.
In the future, their territory will be Mandalay and Sagaing, where Gao Jianwu's core interests lie. Gao Jianwu will not hand over weapons to them before they are properly trained.
For the people of Wabang, Gao Jianwu temporarily promised to build a folk army of more than 2,000 people for them. They mainly developed forces east of Mandalay, currently under the control of the Chan state tribes. This area included the area south of Lashio. There are about 30,000 square kilometers north of Taunggyi.
In the future, as allies of Xigong, we will look after each other in the east.
As for the Chan State force, Gao Jianwu currently promises to build a folk army of more than 3,000 people for them to develop in the Chan State Plateau except for the Wabang territory and unify the different local tribes.
In this way, when Gao Jianwu marched south or eastward, he had more than 10,000 people in the area armed for defense. Although it can't play a big role, it is still very useful as an outpost and warning.
With these people defending on the outside, Gao Jianwu only needed to put down a main battalion in the two big cities of Monywa and Mandalay to cope with it. Because he also has an intelligence system and can keep track of the main trends of the little devils at any time.
More than a month has passed like this, and Gao Jianwu has tightly controlled Mandalay.
In Jin, the brigade commander and Li Yunlong had almost driven out the Japs. The arsenal in Jinyang had received many professionals from all over the country and equipped them with several majors that Gao Jianwu urgently needed.
Especially for the aviation major that was originally blank, several aviation masters from the rear arrived, and all the Little Japanese fighter jets that Gao Jianwu ordered to collect were pieced together by disassembling parts. Although the quality is a bit worrying, it may be used There are only two to three hundred hours, but at this time, we don’t care that much. Everyone is risking their lives, so naturally they start to use it if they can fly.
The Jinyang Flying Team suddenly expanded from the original three to eight. At the same time, the copying work of the Merlin mk.61 engine has been completed, and the trial production of the prototype has been completed and is in the testing stage.
Hearing such good news, Gao Jianwu couldn't wait to take out the complete set of process drawings of the Mustang fighter. This time he marked them as provided by surveying and mapping, and then coordinated a transport plane through Colonel Smith's relationship to send the set of drawings back in a sealed manner.
If Colonel Smith knew what stupid thing he had done, he would have hit the wall directly. Gao Jianwu didn't know, but those aviation masters were overjoyed when they got this set of drawings.
Gao Jianwu has already developed the most important part, the engine. They got the set of drawings and started working on them without hesitation. They also discovered rare aviation aluminum alloy materials in the warehouse and passed simple tests and verifications. Later, they found that this was the most suitable for flying.
Through changes in materials, they also made further modifications to the force of the aircraft model, allowing it to carry a larger load capacity and last longer in the air.
If they were to develop a new model, it might take them several years to make it, but if they make revisions and enhancements based on the information provided by Gao Jianwu, it might only take a few months.
What's more, they have already gained a lot of experience when piecing together the Little Japanese fighter jets. Gao Jianwu's aviation plan was launched earlier than before.
There are already many Mustang fighter jets flying in China. These aviation masters also used their own connections to go to the airport in person to conduct on-the-spot observations and verifications secretly. Although they could not take apart the parts to look at them, Gao Jianwu’s parts were available After looking at the actual installation parts of the surveying and mapping data, they understood it more thoroughly. They quickly understood this model and started the manufacturing process.
These master-level figures are divided into two groups, one group is copied as it is, and the other group is improved based on Gao Jianwu's new materials.
This allowed Jinyang Arsenal to add more overtime crews on top of its busy work. Fortunately, the number of skilled workers who defected to Jindi has increased a lot. After regaining most of Jindi, this place has become the first choice for passionate young people to report. The place.
In addition, machine tool production has begun to get on track. On the machine tool production line, new machine tools are produced almost every day. Among the five small enterprises in the Ping An base area, the renovated steel plant and the electroslag remelting production line have entered full capacity. Production, realizing the formula and process of Gao Jianwu tool steel.
Beginning with high quality tool steel available.
The renovation work of Jinyang Iron and Steel Plant has also begun to enter the trial production stage, and several replicated sets of electroslag remelting have begun to be installed. As for the places near Jinyang that are suitable for installing 500kw hydroelectric generators, they have been installed. There is no construction in the thermal power station. Before the rise, this mature 500kw cross-flow hydropower station equipment became the mainstay.
Since this kind of hydropower station requires low water head (low water level can operate well and generate electricity), it does not require a large dam, the amount of construction work is also very small, and it can be installed quickly.
Now that we have entered June, the rainy season has just begun, and the hydropower station has just entered the period of large-scale power generation.
The new power equipment experts have begun to redesign the 2MW hydraulic generator unit based on Gao Jianwu's 500kw hydraulic generator.
Because of the most critical material aspect, after their calculations, Gao Jianwu showed that special steel can support at least 10mw!
In this way, in Jinyang, all kinds of equipment have begun to enter a period of explosive production capacity, especially in the top-secret production series of Jinyang Arsenal. Now T-34 tanks and P-51 Mustang fighter jets have begun to be secretly produced at the same time.
