Siheyuan: I am different He Yuzhu

After He Yuzhu left, M Lide, holding a cigarette in his hand, said to Prime Minister Z: "EL, what do you think of what Xiao He just said?"

"I feel that Xiao He is not only a young cadre with ideas, but also a very bold one. Since he is a young man, it is inevitable that he will be a little impulsive when considering issues. However, judging from Xiao He's prediction last year that a strong figure would emerge in the Konbaung federal government, his strategic vision is still very sharp. I think we should strengthen the material reserves on the border with Baixiang in advance, in case Baixiang really launches a surprise attack on our country's border."

"We should indeed strengthen the reserve of supplies on the borders with the White Elephant Country in the southwest and northwest regions. However, the most urgent issue right now is the border treaty signing issue raised by the Konbaung Federation Deqin Xiumao and the issue of the remnants of the Skinheads harassing the border. How do you think it would be best to solve this problem?"

"I feel that we can consider referring to Xiao He's suggestion. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you will get a low price. Maybe Deqin Xiumao is eager to stabilize the country and will directly agree to our request. Even if the Konbaung Federation does not agree to use the Stilwell Road as the border with our country, it would not be bad to take back Jiangxinpo and Yerenshan!" Prime Minister Z said with a smile.

M. Lide was deep in thought as he smoked a cigarette and looked at the map of the southwestern border region hanging on the wall. After a moment of contemplation, he suddenly asked, "How is the progress of Project 596?"

"Project 596 is proceeding as planned. The XY sphere, the ignition neutron source, has been successfully developed and single-unit research and development is underway," Prime Minister Z said after thinking for a moment.

"If the food crisis in the south has been resolved, we will have to look at the summer wheat harvest in the north. As long as the food supply in the north returns to normal, we will increase investment in Project 596 and strive to achieve its success as soon as possible." M Lide took a puff of his cigarette and said decisively.

Before he finished speaking, he continued, "No, we cannot wait until the summer grain harvest to increase investment in Project 596. The sooner Project 596 succeeds, the sooner our country's strategic situation will improve. Therefore, we must race against time to speed up the progress of Project 596. I will ask you to give the order immediately to increase investment in Project 596 and mobilize all available resources to fully support Project 596."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"Regarding the request of the Konbaung Federation to sign a border treaty, we will discuss it with Thakin Xiumao according to Xiao He's opinion. However, we will not use the Stilwell Road as the basis, 10 kilometers south. Instead, we hope that Thakin Xiumao will allocate the entire Kachin State to us. As long as he agrees to our request, we can send troops to help Thakin Xiumao's military government fight against domestic reactionaries and help him stabilize the domestic situation. However, the premise is that it is limited to areas where the remnants of the skinheads are active. In addition, we will tell him that we can temporarily not announce the allocation of Kachin State to us to the outside world within 5 years, so as to help him alleviate the adverse effects in the country."

“I’m afraid the entire Kachin State will not agree?” Prime Minister Z said with a worried look on his face.

"Even if he won't readily hand over the entire Kachin State, if he can give us two-thirds of the area, it will be much more generous than relying solely on the Stilwell Road as a bargaining chip! Why not send diplomatic officials to negotiate with them? As for whether it will succeed in the end, let's not talk about it for now."

"However, if the other party really agrees, we must immediately arrange the relevant manpower and material resources to repair the Stilwell Road. Of course, in order to avoid alerting and raising the concerns of the White Elephants, we must strictly keep confidentiality during the road construction. Also, the Kachin people have America's secret support behind them, so we must be cautious and deal with this situation properly."

At this point, M. Lide slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and through the hazy smoke, he squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the location of the white elephant on the map, thinking to himself: "White elephant, oh white elephant, I hope you don't refuse my toast. If you dare to rashly provoke a war, then how this war ends will no longer be controlled by you."
