Chapter 458

Jiang Anguo stood at a distance, contentedly watching Chen Jiageng's speech on the stage.

"Anguo, what on earth are you trying to do?" Dai Anlan asked, not knowing when they had come to Jiang Anguo's side.

The sound just now echoed throughout all of Mandalay, and not only Mandalay but also Southeast Asia, Huaxia, Japan, Ouzhou, and Meizhou.

Via radio, the proclamation "South China Democratic Federal Republic, established!" was broadcast to the whole world!

Dai Anlan could not see that far, but they knew clearly that in Myanmar's complex situation, a sudden founding of a nation would not be good news for the Expeditionary Force, the British, or the United States.

"Isn't that interesting?" Jiang Anguo said mysteriously.

"Xiao Si, security here must be vigilant; no problems may arise," Jiang Anguo said.

"Yes, Young Master!"

In fact, the Expeditionary Force retook Mandalay almost as an empty city, and the people now present actually came from the three hundred thousand civilians supplied by the WarSystem after Jiang Anguo seized Yichang.

These three hundred thousand civilians were split evenly between men and women.

That means before the war began, Mandalay had a population of two hundred thousand; now Mandalay has over three hundred thousand people, all with Chinese faces.

Undoubtedly, under these circumstances, establishing a Chinese regime in Mandalay is the most reasonable.

Not only for that reason, Jiang Anguo also needs someone to act as the decision‑maker at the front; his current position remains commander of the st Division and he has not broken away from the Chongqing side.

At present, Jiang Anguo's occupied map of Myanmar—Taunggyi, Lashu, and Mandalay—plus the area where the Expeditionary Force's main body in northern Myanmar is located, out of Myanmar's 670,000 square kilometers, more than half is currently controlled by Jiang Anguo and the Expeditionary Force.

Of course, aside from the Mandalay Plain and the Taunggyi Basin, the other regions are mountainous and covered with primeval forest, far less fertile than Southern Myanmar.

In reality, the controllable area is not as extensive as imagined.
