Section 54 Insider
"*, it leads countless heroes to bow their backs. The Burmese land is so rich and fertile, why are the people so poor? The fertile land is so vast, and the fertile land is thousands of miles away, why is it so deserted?" Wu Feng, who had not spoken at the southern sky, suddenly opened his mouth and asked the middle-aged man who followed him.
"This," he did not expect that the new lord did not ask about the situation in Myanmar or military affairs. He asked questions that Wenna had not always cared about. However, since his superior asked, he had to bite the bullet and answer: "Sir, I don't know that the land of Myanmar is vast and sparse, and most of us Burmese are relatively lazy. The habit we have developed over the years is to calm down at sunrise and sunset, and we are unwilling to change. Moreover, because our Burmese has never attached importance to education, none of us Burmese people can read, and the entire Burmese people is nearly one million people.
There are only a few thousand people who read, and most of them are Tang people. In addition to wealthy and noble families, the Burmese people are generally ignorant of the people. The population quality is relatively low. The low population quality also directly leads to conservative customs and unwilling to accept foreign fresh confidence. He Xinsheng things are sticking to the rules. Agriculture has long been mainly based on grain production, but the yield is low. Although there is a lot of land, it is only a barely living. The cultivation of cash crops is slow. It was not until Lang Yongquan served as the governor of Myanmar that this situation changed slightly."
After a pause, he seemed to be considering what wording to evaluate the former lord. After thinking for a while, Wenna continued: "To be honest, after Lang Yongquan took office as the governor of Myanmar, he did have a considerable boost to the change in the poverty situation in Myanmar. He introduced a large amount of funds from the empire's Jiangnan, East China Sea, Wuhu and other places, promoted advanced farming technology, and developed economic crops. At the same time, many merchants came to Myanmar to develop some industry and commerce, which made some new atmosphere appear in Myanmar."
"But Lang Yongquan invested very little in education and health, and there was almost no change in the Myanmar region in these two aspects. Moreover, although Lang Yongquan looked at us Burmese people with equality, he never could have placed us Burmese people in an equal position. Although he had his subordinates formed the Burmese Legion, except for providing a certain amount of new equipment for the Burmese Legion when he was allowed to fight in Kansai, most of the rest of the Burmese Legion received weapons and equipment renovated by the Tiannan Army after the elimination. In the administrative agencies of Burmese, all officials who served were appointed shall appoint Tang tribe officials, regardless of their height.
Even a handful of Burmese officials were embellished with no real power. He also used his marriage with the old and Burmese king to successfully strengthen his relationship with the original nobles in the Northern Myanmar region. Therefore, he was indeed superior in playing power. His subordinates did not receive any support in Northern Myanmar. Only in the poor China-Myanmar and Southern Myanmar, but unfortunately, these two places were too poor and could not be compared with the wealthy Northern Myanmar. Only then would his subordinates end up in panic. If it weren't for the adults going south, the Winners' family would have to escape into the mountains and be savages." Winner ended with a joke with a wry smile.
"Haha, Lord Wen is too exaggerated. But there is a saying that is the truth that has never changed throughout the ages. The economic foundation determines the superstructure. Military strength must be based on the economic foundation. Without a strong economic foundation as support, no matter how powerful the military power is, it is just a tree without roots and water without source. In the end, it will only make itself in trouble." Wu Feng turned his head and laughed silently, "It is undoubtedly unrealistic to support a legion with less than one million people. Agriculture is extremely backward, and industry and commerce are almost blank. How can it support a legion of 100,000 people? Looking at Perth City, I can't believe that it was once the capital of Myanmar, and it was not as good as a large market town in the mainland of the empire. How can it drive the development of Myanmar?"
"Yes, Myanmar is indeed too backward, but I can make the Northern Luzon, which is similar to Myanmar, undergo earth-shaking changes within a few years. I think I can also make Myanmar do it." Wenna's words were solemn and his attitude was extremely sincere.
"Winna, you don't have to support me. The development of Northern Luzon has a specific historical period, and the specific affairs are also done by Xiao Tang and the local officials of the two city guards. Since the Myanmar land is now included in the jurisdiction of the Western Protectorate, I will treat it equally in my territory and help the poor areas develop as soon as possible. This has always been what I advocate. Now that the Southwest Legion is newly built, the military expenditure is borne by the Protectorate. In this way, the financial income of Myanmar land can be used for its own development. In addition, the Protectorate will also invest huge sums of money to develop the Myanmar land economy as soon as possible. I hope that Myanmar land can have a new look at this time next year." Wufeng first comforted me, and suddenly changed his tone, "Winna, what do you think of me if I let you serve as the deputy commander of the Southwest Legion this time? Don't worry too much. In front of me, I can only admit that since I asked you this question, I just want to hear the truth."
Wen Na couldn't adapt to the topic of his boss for a while, which was also a hidden pain in his heart. From the commander of the Burmese Legion to the deputy commander of the Southwest Legion, he felt a little uncomfortable no matter what. But when he looked at his Burmese Army, there was less than one division. If he really wanted to be the commander of the Southwest Legion, it would be difficult to convince the public, especially because he was under Lang Yongquan's command. No matter what the situation the matter was, it would be difficult to gain the recognition of ordinary people. He also vaguely heard about the Northwest Army.
Someone in the middle questioned his character, which made him even more uncomfortable. It is rare that the boss is so ruthless that he is so proud of pushing himself to the position of commander of the legion. Thinking about it, Wen Na became much more calm. But when he saw his boss asking about this matter, he wanted to give his thoughts to the other party. Even Wen Na himself couldn't explain why he was so calm and relaxed in front of this boss who was nearly thirty years younger than him, and he felt heart-to-heart.
"Sir, since you asked this question, if I avoid answering it, you will definitely think that I have other ideas, so I also want to say what I think about this question. Perhaps many colleagues in our army would think that I am an ungrateful guy. Lang Yongquan promoted me from a civilian to the commander of the Burmese army, but I rebelled at a critical moment. This hat was placed on my head. I think I will be difficult to clear my whole life, but Sir, is I really such a shameless villain?"
"When Lang Yongquan promoted me to the position of commander of the Burmese army. No matter what purpose he intended, I, Wenna, was not a person who could not repay his kindness. In the battle of Kansai, my sons and I sacrificed our lives and went barefoot to fight. The Burmese army's children were killed and injured countless times. I had no complaints, because I felt that I must be worthy of Langsai's grace, 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, he did not let me return to Myanmar as usual, but ordered us to stay in Nanfeng on the spot.
I also sent a large army to monitor us. Although I felt it was a bit strange, out of trust in Langshuo, I had no objection. But then the Tiannan Army suddenly sent troops to Myanmar to seize the weapons of the 5th Division of the Myanmar Army stationed in Myanmar, and I took an encirclement posture against us stationed near Nanfeng. I still didn't do anything, but I still did not act until the Burmese Fifth Division of the Myanmar Army came from Myanmar. The Tiannan Army surrounded us also asked us to disarm immediately. In this case, sir, can you surrender?"
He sighed with some emotion, perhaps because he poured out all the depression in his heart, and Wenna felt much more relaxed. "Sir, you are already very satisfied with the position you can give Wenna such. Although he was a little disappointed at the beginning, think about it, you also have your difficulties. Moreover, I heard that General Mulige is also a straightforward person, and he is also your old subordinate. Please rest assured that Wenna will definitely cooperate and assist General Mulige to train the Southwest Legion into a strong army, and live up to the expectations of the adults."
"Haha, General Wenna, I feel much more at ease with your words. You are right. Maybe someone in the Northwest Army has some opinions and misunderstandings about you, but I think the general can understand that they have different perspectives on things. As the saying goes, the horsepower is known from afar, and people's hearts are seen over time. I believe that the general can be shown in the days to come. You are right. Lao Mu is a cheerful person. I believe that you two can cooperate happily. Now there are only four divisions of the Southwest Army, but I want to add the Fifth Division when the time is right. I hope that General Wenna will cooperate with the combat readiness department to strengthen the training of the reserve service, so as to form the Southwest Army into a complete legion at the right time."
The information revealed by Wufeng's words made Wen Najiur feel at ease. It was not that the problems a Fifth Division would have a satisfying from the Burmese soldiers, but that the other party's confession and trust made him quite happy. The coach's open and honest confession showed his attitude, which proved that the coach's absolute confidence and high trust in him. This is difficult to exchange at any position, and it is also the thing that is most cherished as a surrender.
"Your care for Winner is not repaid, you can only prove it with practical actions. Please wait and see." When it comes to this, Winner has no more words to express it, so he bows to show his gratitude.
