Chapter 1451: Fighting for Peace (Thanks to 'Three Seconds into Sage Mode' brother for tipping the alliance leader!)

The British did not take action because their troops were insufficient and they were even more afraid of Wang Yan's combat effectiveness.

They had followed Wang Yan and listened to Wang Yan's command all the way to drive away the Japanese army. They knew Wang Yan's strength very well, and until today, they hadn't found a way to restrain Wang Yan's fighting style.

Not to mention them, they had fought the Japanese army for three full years, and the Japanese army had studied for three years, using all kinds of means, but they hadn't been able to restrain Wang Yan and were beaten like dogs.

Speaking of troops, the number of troops the British increased in Southeast Asia in three years was not much, but the casualties were quite a lot. Until now, the combat troops were only more than 40,000.

There were other colonial troops. Burma could pull out hundreds of thousands of troops, and India could also pull out hundreds of thousands of troops. Obviously, both were grass on the wall, just mixing days when fighting, and were really chickens and dogs.

If they really wanted to force the local soldiers, Wang Yan also had the strength to pull out hundreds of thousands of troops in northern Burma. However, he didn't have that many weapons and ammunition, and the people pulled out had no combat literacy at all.

Unlike now, he had recruited nearly 30,000 troops in the local area in the past year, including natives and Chinese. The weapons and equipment were all captured Japanese equipment. As for the equipment of his own unit, it had already realized more than half of American-made, small half of British-made, mixed with Japanese light and heavy machine guns and various artillery.

He had captured an unknown number of Japanese ammunition depots, and arming the current troops could be considered to have a surplus.

On the other hand, these troops recruited from the local area had also fought battles and seen blood with him, and at the same time accepted his ideological baptism, having considerable loyalty and combat will.

These situations were mastered by the British, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Wang, I am entrusted by the British to come and chat with you," Stilwell said, "Do you really want to do this?"

"My conditions are not excessive, you know, I just want a place where I can make the decisions. And I have already retreated, not wanting the whole of Burma, just separating from them more."

"Wang, don't say angry words. You are clear that you cannot take Burma comprehensively. You need depth to deal with the British tanks, airplanes, artillery, and even warships. I know you and your brothers are very capable of fighting, but if there are no weapons and ammunition, no food, and no medicine, you have 70,000 or 80,000 people under your command, right? How long can you support?"

"We do think highly of you and are willing to give you aid, but once the fight starts, look at the surroundings of Burma, how can we transport supplies to you? You have no air power to protect the airplanes, China has expelled you, India is a British colony, and Thailand will naturally not give the British face. You have no chance of winning."

Stilwell was naturally stating the facts, only "no chance of winning" was not.

"You can transport through the country. You know, they are not willing to let me go back, so they will definitely provide this convenience."

"In this way, the cost has increased by I don't know how much."

"It doesn't matter, Stilwell. As long as it is not completely cut off, it's fine," Wang Yan laughed. "I know you want the minerals, trees, etc. here, want to export food, want to dump goods. At present, in Burma, you need a peaceful Burma."

"I am actually willing to accept nominal submission and cooperate with their actions to a certain extent. But Stilwell, without a battle, they won't be convinced. Even if I lose, I can still have a foothold here. But if I win, what I want is obviously not these."

"I want to see how much determination the British have and how many resources they are willing to invest, and see how much they value Burma."

The relationship between the United States and the British at this time was quite good, belonging to you in me and me in you. The British colonies basically had American troops.

However, in international exchanges, there is no absolute good or bad, and what is entangled is interest. So the United States should give Wang Yan aid, and it will still give it.

The reason is very simple: Wang Yan is too capable of fighting. After having a foothold in Burma, he is simply a small hegemon in Southeast Asia, a flat-headed brother in Burma, who bites whoever he fights.

In fact, Wang Yan has already shown this temperament now. Not to mention anything else, he doesn't retreat a step, just wants to fight the British to see who is soft and who is hard, and then talk about other things.

Stilwell nodded: "Alright, since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you. You are a stubborn person, and I can't persuade you. In addition, tell you one thing, I am leaving, Wang. After I leave, someone will continue to contact you."

"It's really a pity, our cooperation is still quite good."

"You Chinese have a good saying, there is no banquet that doesn't end in the world. The war here is already over, and it's time to say goodbye."

Stilwell thought for a while and said, "In addition, tell you a piece of news. The British are already gathering troops, and at the same time, they are transporting weapons, ammunition, and various supplies here. It is estimated that they will be ready next month, and the war will start again. You'd better not lose too miserably, then there will be no room for negotiation."

"You still don't believe me." Wang Yan shook his head with amusement, interrupting Stilwell's explanation, and said, "Alright, Stilwell, let the facts give us the answer."

Stilwell left. This was the last meeting between the two. In less than two years, Stilwell should be dead...

Strategically despise the enemy, tactically value the enemy. Although Wang Yan thought the British were chickens and dogs, he didn't really treat them as nothing.

The key point of this battle was still Mandalay. This was an important city in Burma, a place where water and land transportation went east, west, north, and south, and it was very influential.

So the battle with the British couldn't escape Mandalay.

In terms of troops, Wang Yan's unit was weak, and in terms of combat effectiveness, Wang Yan's unit was strong. However, as the saying goes, ants bite elephants to death. So Wang Yan still didn't plan to die hard, but used space to pull.

The foreigners came to fight, so he left. If the foreigners dared to occupy Mandalay, that was looking for death. Wang Yan besieged the point and fought the reinforcements, but couldn't kill them. The Japanese army was played to death like this.

So by May, the British gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to fight over, entered Mandalay without any obstruction, and directly placed the headquarters here.

It was also at this time that Wang Yan launched an attack, just like the decisive battle with the Japanese army, fighting back and forth within a range of tens of kilometers around Mandalay.

The foreigners' troops were numerous, but they were really vulnerable. The Burmese and Indian troops who mixed days and fought smooth battles were really not worth mentioning. Of course, bullets had no eyes, and they could definitely cause casualties, but they couldn't fight hard battles. When the firepower was dense and the casualties were large, they ran away, and the organization and discipline were extremely poor.

The main combat troops of the foreigners were indeed not weak, but in terms of combat effectiveness, there was still a considerable gap with Wang Yan's subordinates.

Even if it was weapons and equipment, Wang Yan didn't lose much. It's just that there were not many artillery, no tanks, and no airplanes. But the situation was much better than when fighting the little Japanese before, and it couldn't be mentioned in the same breath.

Both sides fought like this. Wang Yan's troops were fighting more and more, and he launched the people in northern Burma while fighting, recruiting many new troops, and practicing soldiers with the foreigners.

Weapons and ammunition were all captured. This battle was of great benefit to him. He could fight out the prestige, expand and train the team, and at the same time find out the ghosts and monsters making trouble in various places, and clean up the environment again.

The foreigners naturally saw this situation, and they tried their best, but they couldn't change it. The war had already started, and they couldn't stop if they wanted to. The dignified British Empire, didn't it want face?

So they not only didn't stop, but also increased the formal combat troops, and the strength of Southeast Asia was all here. Wang Yan even heard from the American foreigners that they were going to send elite combat troops from the mainland to teach Wang Yan a lesson.

To this, Wang Yan just laughed, and continued to hammer the foreigners.

Just like this, both sides fought past the little boy kissing the little Japanese, fought until the little Japanese surrendered, fought until the complete victory of the Allied forces, and fought until the end of 1945, and the battlefield was still around Mandalay without change.

What changed was the rapid expansion of Wang Yan's troops, reaching nearly 200,000.

At this point, the foreigners really regretted it, but there was no way, they had to swallow their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs. They were fighting more and more, casualties were increasing, expenses were increasing, and their hearts were getting colder.

So the foreigners were convinced and asked for peace.

But obviously, the conditions that were still loose before were not agreed to by them. This time Wang Yan was stronger, and naturally it was no longer the price before.

The final result was that Wang Yan obtained the autonomy of Mandalay and the north, and at the same time obtained the "aid" of the British, including machinery, seeds, medicine, etc.

This was naturally not any aid. It could be said to be compensation, or protection money. After all, the foreigners still had to make a fortune in Burma later. They wanted to calm Wang Yan's anger.

Otherwise, Wang Yan didn't want to stop, kept fighting south, what should they do? After it was stable, Wang Yan made trouble for no reason, and went against them again, what should they do?

Not to mention that Wang Yan occupied so many places in the north, so many resources, and the foreigners also wanted to participate, so they couldn't really earn nothing.

Doing things requires considering costs. They naturally have the ability to expel Wang Yan, but the price to pay is much more than what they get in Burma. And now they pay some, the two families are repaired, and they can still make money here in the future.

Even they earn the big head, who told Wang Yan's subordinates that there is no industrial foundation, only the output of raw materials. Even Wang Yan's military government, whether it can govern the territory well is a question. Having martial arts doesn't mean knowing civil governance.

Isn't it still relying on them? When the time comes, Wang Yan is also working for them.

Although, they could have earned more, although that was originally their money...

They finally won here at Wang Yan's place. Wang Yan still gave face and gave a nominal attribution relationship. Of course, it was not attributed to the foreigners, but to the southern government of Burma now. For this name, the foreigners spent a lot.

With this name, many things in the future can be operated, and there is an opening.

For example, defining Wang Yan as a rebel army, and then creating a government army to annihilate it, leaving room for the future... Of course, it was not aimed at Wang Yan. The foreigners had already been beaten into submission, but Wang Yan always had a time to die, and the successor couldn't be so perverted...

On this day, Wang Yan called a group of old brothers from the reception station back then.

Now there are not many people left. Fan La, Veterinarian, A Yi, Mi Long, Bu La, Yao Ma, Snake Butt, only these seven people are left.

Kang Ya was bombed to death last year. He had already become a regimental commander. Bu La laughed and scolded that this stingy and stingy Kang Ya just didn't have the blessing.

Dou Bing died a few months ago, and he had already become a deputy regiment. Fan La and others all said that this was a person with even less blessing, dying before victory.

That was it.

At this moment, they gathered together again, laughing and laughing, and mentioned two sentences at the beginning. Perhaps in the years to come, they will always mention it from time to time, and it will inevitably be laughing and laughing.

Mi Long shouted: "If I say, we should fight them, the foreigners are afraid of us, otherwise what are they asking for peace?"

A Yi looked down: "Is fighting so simple? We beat the foreigners here, not the whole British Empire. People have strong ships and guns, we can't reach the seaside in our life, and with this point, we can't beat the foreigners out in our life."

"Yes, A Yi is right, you are a reckless man, thinking too simply." Fan La agreed, "If we have the ability to beat the foreigners out of Burma, then we have the ability to occupy the whole of Southeast Asia, and it is not a problem to fight to the main island of the little Japanese."

"All fought out, great progress, thinking quite comprehensively." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "It is indeed like this, the foreigners are not so easy to fight. Until we finished fighting, the elite combat troops of the headquarters were less than 80,000. People have hundreds of thousands of sea, land, and air forces. We are not opponents."

"Then we must think of a way." Yao Ma said, "The west is India, the east is Thailand, the south is the foreigners, and the north can't go back. We are blocked to death."

Wang Yan gave Yao Ma a thumbs up: "You are right, our current situation is indeed not very good, but there is no way. It's not that we have already got a lot of machinery? Let's develop well, and slowly it will rise."

"You old man said so, that is, you have a plan in your chest and have already made plans. Reveal it to the brothers?" Long Wenzhang, who has become a big boss of the army, is still so cheap in front of Wang Yan.

"What plan in the chest? It's just to have a good relationship with the officials of the southern government. It's nothing more than threats and bribery. Whoever listens to us, we will let him be promoted and get rich. If he doesn't listen, we will find a way to kill him. After a long time, ten or eight years, this Burmese world, isn't it up to us?"

Wang Yan waved his hand, "I called you here today to ask for your opinions. I said before that I would take you home. Si La doesn't count. There are only a few of you left among the old brothers who came out together. Now the war here is over, what are your thoughts, let's talk about it..."

"Good days are coming soon, there is no one in the house, who wants to go back, that is really a fool." Yao Ma said, "Our sequence has been cancelled, but the brothers still recognize us as the Sichuan Army Regiment, the Sichuan Army Regiment has no Sichuan baby, can that work?"

However, no one echoed, and only he expressed his position.

He stared, looking at the silent crowd: "Are you all not so stupid? Don't live good days, want to go back and live bitter days?"

Mi Long waved his hand repeatedly: "You roll away, he has already asked me before. The Veterinarian is also, also asked him, neither of us will go back, wait for a while to inquire, see if the family is still there."

The Veterinarian nodded, indicating approval.

Fan La and others looked at each other, Fan La said: "Master Wang, I don't want to leave, it's not easy to have today, it's impossible to live a good life. I just want to inquire about my parents, and then I will go back and see, if possible, pick them over."

"Yes, yes." Bu La nodded, "Master Wang, I think so too."

Seeing Wang Yan looking at himself, A Yi said: "Master Wang, my parents and brothers are all gone, I just want to go back to the old house and see, want to go to my parents' grave to burn paper and talk."

Wang Yan laughed and said: "Don't be so nervous, they are all good brothers who have been through life and death. Whether to go or stay, when to go, or even come back after leaving, I welcome them all. Since you don't want to go back, but want to go home and see, I will contact this matter.

Don't look at the little devils who have been beaten away, the days are still not stable now, and there is still a lot to fight. I will let people inquire in the country, contact them first, and give them a breath. If the family is alive, take care of them. Our brothers still have this face, no one will go against our brothers.

Alright, don't study it, this matter is settled. I want to go to Chanda, pick up my big wife and little wife, and from now on, we will settle down in Mandalay. Are you going back or not?"

"Definitely go back! Master Wang, I've been waiting for a long time." Fan La was the most active, and the whole person was about to jump up...
