Chapter 801: Send the sheep to the tiger's mouth

"That's true." Wu Juewen replied, "but there is a question. Than Shwe has considerable influence in the Myanmar military. It can even be said that he is the most important figure in the current military generation. If he cannot acquiesce in this Things, that, with his power, will bring extremely uncertain factors to Taigong’s development of nickel mines. After all, production requires a safe and stable environment, and he holds a force that we cannot control and influence. The threat of this force is too great."
"So, what do you think is the most direct way for Than Shwe to impose such a threat?" Tan Zhenhua asked with a smile.
After thinking about it, Wu Juewen replied:
From the current situation, the line of communication from Mandalay to Taigongdang is completely in the hands of the coalition composed of Xie, Peng, and both. Even without considering the complete ceasefire agreement, the central In the reality of the new defeat of the military region, the Than Shwe Department will certainly not be able to launch a new round of offensive north in the short term. Unless the Burmese government mobilizes the nation's forces to launch a large-scale battle, it is basically impossible to resume the war against Tai Gong. Effective control of the region; and although the Burmese Jade Air Force has a base in Mandalay, the garrison troops have just switched from Yangon. There is no problem with their loyalty to the U Nai Win Presidential Pavilion. They will only accept from the Presidential Palace. In other words, Dan Rui can’t command them for the time being, so count them..."
"Count it that way," Tan Zhenhua said, "Dan Rui wants to impose such a threat. There is only one way in a short time, which is to use the surface power in his hand."
"Yes, Tai Gong Dang is on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, and the Irrawaddy River is navigable from below Myitkyina, and Than Shwe has a patrol team on the river. Although they are all small armed patrol boats, it is enough to harass them. ."
"And when necessary, he can also use civilian barges to undertake the transportation and delivery of soldiers," Tan Zhenhua added, "If I remember correctly, after this time he was defeated, he used this method to retreat from De Beijin. Mandalay."
"That's troublesome." Wu Juewen frowned. "According to this analysis, if you don't persuade Than Shwe to accept the agreement, he can trouble us at any time. The Irrawaddy is so big, it is very difficult to defend, and as far as I know, no matter what Whether it is the Xie Peng coalition or the Kachin army that does not have enough water power, doesn't it mean that you have to worry about the threat of Than Shwe all the time? And even if the anti-government camp is now starting to build surface troops, it is far from quenching the thirst. Besides, there is only a thousand days as a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against thieves?"
"It's not troublesome at all," Tan Zhenhua said: "This is the condition I made for Than Shwe. If he accepts, then everyone will be fine and he can also enjoy a profit. However, if he does not accept it, Ha ha."
Wu Juewen asked, "Zhenhua, do you have a way?"
Tan Zhenhua stopped selling Guanzi and asked directly, "Jewen, have you brought a map?"
"Yes, I take it with me."
Although he always felt a little weird, Tan Zhenhua had to admit that after all, Mr. Wen was born in a military family, and was still a military family doing intelligence work. It is a good habit to carry a map with him...
Opening the Burmese jade map, Tan Zhenhua pointed to the Irrawaddy River Road: "Jewen, look, as you just said, the Irrawaddy River is navigable from Myitkyina, but here, Invar, from here, there is another river and its Converge."
Following the direction of Tan Zhenhua's fingers, Wu Juewen saw Inwa, about 40 kilometers upstream of Taigongdang, and the river where the Irrawaddy River meets.
Ruilijiang.
A glimmer of enlightenment flashed across his mind, and Tan Zhenhua’s voice continued to sound:
The Ruili River, originated on the west side of the Gaoligong Mountain in China, flows through Longchuan, Lianghe and other counties in Tengchong, and flows into Myanmar via Wanding and Ruili. Jade merges into the Irrawaddy River near Burmese Jade Inwa. More than 20 kilometers of the Ruili River is the boundary river between China and Burma. This river is one of the important rivers in the western part of China’s Nanyun Province. The river is wide and the water flow is gentle. The river is navigable all year round. ."
"what do you mean……"
"The cost of water transportation is undoubtedly much lower than that of land transportation. This waterway is the channel I planned for Taigong to import nickel ore into China, and it is also the most convenient channel for ore to enter China."
Wu Juewen said: "Zhenhua, I certainly agree with this plan, and this waterway seems to be relatively safe. From the north of Inwa to the border of Huaxia, the Ruili River flows through almost all areas controlled by the Peng Xie coalition. Of course it is helpful to the safety of ore transportation, but you haven't solved the trouble that Than Shwe threatened?"
"Yes," Tan Zhenhua said with a smile: "I plan to let Than Shwe take on this transportation task."
"Ah?! Zhenhua, you are not sending sheep to the tiger's mouth..."
Wu Juewen exclaimed unconsciously, but before he finished speaking, he immediately woke up and couldn't help but applaud loudly: "Well, it's really wonderful!"
Because in an instant, he wanted to understand the official tricks.
No matter how difficult the negotiation process is, as long as the final agreement is reached, it will inevitably default to a result-Taigong's development of nickel mines is a legal act recognized by the Myanmar jade government!
Since it is legal, General Than Shwe, one of the leaders of the government army, has the responsibility and obligation to ensure the safety and order of the operators.
Of course, he can still use the surface power in his hand to inspect the river in the name of maintaining the safety of the Irrawaddy River through this name, but this is equivalent to putting an invisible shackle on his actions, unless he intends to completely tear his face and set off. In another war, otherwise, one cannot fail to comply with the bottom line and also have to consider the interests of all related parties in this business.
Moreover, he handed over the business of surface transportation to him, and that was once again on top of this invisible shackle, with double insurance of interest and responsibility.
Although Than Shwe was defeated in the war, he was not confident enough to participate in the fat meat sharing of Taigong as a nickel ore, but if he could swallow the ore and transport it alone, it would be a big compensation. Of course, this also means that he must be responsible for the safety of the ore being transported. Unfortunately, most of the river surface that the transport passes through is controlled by the anti-government camp...
The subtlety of this is really not enough to be honest with outsiders.
Wu Juewen quickly figured out this truth. While applauding Tan Zhenhua’s plan, another question also emerged. He couldn’t help asking: "Zhenhua, you did this, although you have taken care of part of Than Shwe’s interests, and I think Esso Winn can also accept it, but what should I do if Than Shwe disagrees?"
"He will accept it. If he doesn't want to accept it, I think many people will force him to accept it."
"Oh why?"
"Because if you don't accept it, he will become the target of public criticism, and the pressure on him is by no means limited to your father and Essowin Wu."
