Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 54 Inside

"*, attracted countless heroes. Burmese land is so rich and fertile, why are the common people so impoverished? Why are the fertile fields so deserted?" Wufeng looked at the southern sky and kept silent Suddenly he opened his mouth and asked the middle-aged man who was following behind him.

"This," I didn't expect the new lord to open his mouth to ask questions that Wenna didn't care about before, without asking about the situation in Burma or about military and political affairs. But since his boss asked about it, he had to bite the bullet and answer : "Your Excellency, I don't know that Burmese land is vast and sparsely populated. Most of us Burmese are relatively lazy. The habit we have developed over the years is to go to work after sunrise and rest at sunset. We are unwilling to change. And because we in Burma have never paid attention to Education, among hundreds of us Burmese, none of them can read and write. Among the nearly one million people in Burma, there are only a few thousand people who can read and write, and most of them are from the Tang nationality. Except for the wealthy and noble families, most of the Burmese people are illiterate. It is relatively low, and the low quality of the population has directly led to conservative folk customs, unwilling to accept foreign new confidence and new things, sticking to the rules, agriculture has long been dominated by food production, but the output is low. Crop cultivation developed slowly, and this situation did not change slightly until Lang Yongquan served as the governor of Burma.”

Paused, as if he was considering how to use words to evaluate the former lord. After thinking for a while, Wen Na continued: "To be honest, after Lang Yongquan became the governor of Burma, he was really concerned about the poverty of Burma. The changes in Burma have been greatly promoted. A large amount of funds have been introduced from the Jiangnan, East China Sea, Wuhu and other places of the empire to promote advanced farming techniques and develop cash crops. At the same time, many businessmen have come to Burma to develop some industries and commerce, which has brought about some new things in Burma. .”

"However, Lang Yongquan has invested very little in education and health care, and Myanmar has hardly changed in these two areas. Moreover, although Lang Yongquan treats us Burmese people as equals on the surface, but in his heart he has never changed. It can put us Burmese on an equal footing. Although they let their subordinates form the Burmese Army, except for providing a certain amount of new equipment for the Burmese Army when the subordinates went to battle in Kansai, most of the time the Burmese The ground legion received all the weapons and equipment refurbished after being eliminated by the Tiannan Army, and in the administrative agencies of the Burmese land, no matter how high or low the officials served, all Tang officials were appointed, and even the few Burmese officials were some Without the embellishment of real power, he also used his marriage relationship with the old Burmese king to successfully strengthen his relationship with the original nobles in the North Burma area, so he is indeed superior in playing power and tactics, and his subordinates will not get any in North Burma. Support, only some support in the poor China and South Myanmar, but unfortunately these two places are too poor to compare with the rich North Myanmar, and the subordinates will end up fleeing, if it is not for the adults to go south I'm afraid Wen Na's family will have to flee into the mountains and become savages." Wen Na ended with a joke with a wry smile.

"Hehe, Mr. Wen is too exaggerated. However, there is a saying that is true throughout the ages. The economic base determines the superstructure, and military strength must be built on the economic base. Without a solid economic base to support it, no matter how powerful it is, Military power is nothing but a tree without roots and water without a source, and it will only get you into trouble in the end." Wu Feng turned his head and said with a silent smile, "It is undoubtedly unrealistic to support a legion with Burma's economy. , less than one million people, agriculture is extremely backward, and industry and commerce are almost blank. How can it be possible to feed a legion of 100,000 people? Looking at Perth City, I can’t believe that it was once the capital of Burma, and even a large market town in the interior of the empire. Why not, how can we promote the development of Myanmar?"

"Yes, Myanmar is indeed too backward, but my lord can make Northern Luzon, which is similar to Myanmar, undergo earth-shaking changes within a few years, and I think my lord can make Myanmar do the same." Wen Na's words at this time were solemn and serious, and his attitude was extremely sincere.

"Wenna, you don't have to praise me. The development of Northern Luzon has its own specific historical period. The specific affairs are also handled by local officials from Xiao Tang and the two city guards. Now that Burma has been incorporated into the capital of Western Xinjiang The jurisdiction of the Protectorate, within my territory, I will treat everyone equally, and help the poor areas to develop as soon as possible. The fiscal revenue will be used for its own development, and the Protectorate will also invest huge sums of money to develop Burma’s economy as soon as possible, hoping that Burma will be able to take on a brand new look by this time next year.” Wu Feng first spoke softly and relieved, but suddenly he changed his mind. Turn around, "Wenner, what do you think about letting you serve as the deputy commander of the Southwest Army this time? Don't worry too much, you can just say frankly in front of me, since I ask you this question, I just want to hear the truth."

The boss's sudden topic made it difficult for Wen Na to adapt for a while. Take a look at my Burmese Army, which is less than one division, and if I really want to be the commander of the Southwest Army Corps, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince the public, especially when I am attached to Lang Yongquan, no matter what the situation is Now, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get the approval of ordinary people. He also vaguely heard that someone in the Northwest Army questioned his character, which made him even more uncomfortable. It is rare for this boss to push himself to the position of deputy army commander regardless of the previous suspicions, and it is very rare. After thinking about it, Wen Na felt a lot calmer in his heart, but when he saw his boss asking about it today, he also thought about it. In this matter, I took my heart out to the other party. Even Wen Na couldn't explain why he felt so calm and relaxed in front of this boss who was nearly 30 years younger than him, with a feeling of confiding in his heart.

"My lord, since you asked this question, if I avoid answering it, you will definitely think that I have other ideas, so I also want to talk about my own thoughts on this question. Maybe there are some people in our army Few of my colleagues will think that I, Wenna, is an ungrateful guy. Lang Yongquan promoted me from a commoner to the commander of the Burmese army, but I rebelled at a critical moment. This hat is placed on my head. I think it will be difficult for me to wash it off in my life. Yes, but my lord, am I, Wen Na, really that kind of shameless villain?"

"At the beginning, Lang Yongquan promoted me to the position of the commander-in-chief of the Burmese Army. No matter what his purpose was, I, Wen Na, was not a person who would never repay his kindness. During the Battle of Kansai, my sons and I risked our lives to forget Going into battle naked, countless Burmese soldiers were killed and injured, I have no complaints, because I think I must be worthy of Lang Shuai's kindness, but everything changed after the Kansai Incident. Xie Changyang led the Tiannan Army to return to Tiannan first, But after I led the Burmese army back, I did not let me return to Burma according to common sense, but ordered us to stay in Nanfeng on the spot and sent a large army to monitor us. Although I felt a little strange, but out of trust in Lang Shuai, I I don’t have any comments. But then the Tiannan Army suddenly sent troops to Burma to surrender the weapons of the Burmese Army’s 5th Division stationed in Burma, and to encircle us stationed near Nanfeng. I think it’s wrong, but I still didn't take any action until it was reported from Burma that almost all of the Burmese Army's Fifth Division was alone, and the Tiannan Army surrounding us also demanded that we immediately disarm. Can you catch it without a fight?"

With a long sigh of regret, perhaps pouring out all the anguish in his heart, Wenna felt a lot more relaxed, "Your Excellency, you can give Wenna such a position, Wenna is already very satisfied, although at the beginning It’s a bit disappointing, but think about it, you also have your difficulties~IndoMTL.com~ Besides, I heard that General Mulige is also a straightforward person, and he is also your old subordinate. Please rest assured that Winner will definitely do his best Cooperate with and assist General Mulige to train the Southwest Army into a strong army and live up to your expectations."

"Hehe, General Wenna, I feel a lot more at ease with what you said. You are right. Maybe some people in the Northwest Army have some opinions and misunderstandings about you, but I think the general can understand their different opinions. People look at things from different angles. As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows horsepower, and time sees people's hearts. I believe that the general's talents will be displayed in the days to come. You are also right. Lao Mu is a straightforward person. I believe you two can It is a pleasant cooperation. There are only four divisions in the Southwest Army now, but I want to add the fifth division when the time is right. I hope that General Wenner will cooperate with the combat readiness department to strengthen the training of the reserve force so that the Southwest Army can be sent to the Southwest Army at the right time. Form a complete army."

The information revealed by Wufeng's words made Wen Na feel very at ease. It was not that the fifth division would have problems from Burmese soldiers that made him satisfied, but that the other party's confession and trust made him quite satisfied. To my heart's delight, the coach's frank confession showed his attitude, which proved the coach's absolute reassurance and high level of trust in him. This is difficult to exchange in any position, and it is also the most cherished thing as a general.

"Your Excellency's love for Wenna can't be repaid, but you can only prove it with practical actions. Please wait and see." Speaking of this, Wenna has no more words to express, only bowing and saluting to show his gratitude up.

"General Wenna doesn't have to be like this. Li still needs to rely heavily on the general in many aspects, such as the Peninsula Alliance south of Burma." face.
