Chapter 247 The British Prime Minister is mad at death
The remarks made by the head of state of Qin were quickly spread around the world through reporters from various countries, but the radio was obviously faster. Wang Jiuling's words made the British crazy. After Macdonald heard it, he became furious and vomited a mouthful of blood.
He fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. However, McDonald died a day later. He was old and weak, and a mouthful of blood consumed the last bit of his essence.
When Macdonald died, the British government announced the news on April 2, and George V announced a state funeral.
The British Prime Minister died, and there was no election in the UK. On April 3, George V appointed the War Cabinet. Unexpectedly, the still unknown Churchill was appointed to the War Cabinet. This damn fat man is a powerful figure! Of course.
It is also possible that Wang Jiuling was burdened with this reputation because he served as Prime Minister during the British World War II and won the war.
After Churchill became Prime Minister, he immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to completely eliminate Wang Jiuling and the Qin State. This fat man was a well-known militant. Wang Jiuling should always pay attention.
On the night of April 3, the Qin army had completely captured Myanmar, and only some indigenous armed forces were hiding. Although the intensity of the fighting in these two days was not high, they had to run from east to west for more than 600 kilometers in two days. The soldiers
They are all exhausted. Wang Jiuling deserves to give them a day's rest, while Burmese officials are undergoing a major change of blood. Those who can use Chinese will use Chinese. There are still many Chinese in various parts of Burma.
As an ethnic group, the Burmese Chinese do not play an important role in politics as they do in some Southeast Asian countries. In the Burmese era, they were pure businessmen, and this was also the case in the British colonial era. However, due to the racial representative system implemented by the colonial government before the war,
There are one or two Chinese representatives in Yangon City Council
At this time, there were 15 million people in Myanmar, including about 200,000 Chinese, with the majority having immigrated here since 1930.
Historically, after Myanmar became independent in 1948, the government implemented nationalization and localization policies, and the Chinese no longer enjoyed political status.
In 1964, Myanmar implemented a nationalization movement. Many Chinese businessmen were forced to leave Myanmar. Schools and newspapers founded by Chinese were forced to close. In June 1967, a fierce anti-Chinese riot broke out in Myanmar. Angry mobs gathered in Yangon's Chinatown.
Murders and arson were committed, Chinese shops and homes were looted, and many Chinese lost their lives. Riots ravaged several cities.
Due to Myanmar's implementation of naturalization policy, occupational restriction policy, and the ban on Chinese schools and Chinese newspapers and periodicals, it was difficult for the Chinese to make a living, so they became Burmese citizens one after another. However, Myanmar's laws are very strict. Only those who were in Myanmar before the outbreak of the first Anglo-Burmese War (1824)
Only family members living in Myanmar can obtain citizenship. Others can only apply for a special alien registration card. Registration card holders can live in Myanmar, but they cannot enjoy the same rights as indigenous people. Many Chinese spend money to buy citizenship certificates and have not yet become Burmese citizens.
Less than 10% are Chinese
As an ethnic group, the Burmese Chinese do not play an important role in politics as they do in some Southeast Asian countries. In the Burmese era, they were pure businessmen, and this was also the case in the British colonial era. However, due to the racial representative system implemented by the colonial government before the war,
There were one or two Chinese representatives in the Yangon City Council. During World War II, some Chinese, especially those of mixed race, actively worked with all ethnic groups in Myanmar to resist Japan. Therefore, after the war, they became civil servants, technicians, doctors, and military officers. However, there were still very few Chinese participating in politics. 1962
After Ne Win's military regime came to power in 2001, Chinese political participation was restricted. Ne Win (Xiu Maung) himself is a mixed-race Chinese. Others include Aung Kyi (Chen Tianwang), the second-ranking figure in the Revolutionary Committee and deputy chief of staff of the National Defense Forces, and former Myanmar President Shan You (Chen Tianwang).
Sanyu), Mining Minister Dr. Nini, Minister of Education Chen Youcai, and other heroes of the Ne Win regime...the Chinese have made a great contribution to Myanmar's economy. The Chinese use their overseas trade network to help the government promote agricultural products.
It can be said that the status of the Chinese in Myanmar has never been high. When the country was strong, they could still live a stable life. However, in modern times, their fate can only be abused again and again, and disasters may come at any time. They live like ants.
The ethnic groups in Myanmar are complex. If Wang Jiuling, a newcomer, wants to control Myanmar, he can only rely on the Chinese. The resources here will also be the foundation of the Qin State.
According to statistics in 2005, Myanmar’s proven oil reserves reached 3.2 billion barrels and natural gas reserves reached 2.46 trillion cubic meters.
In addition to oil, Myanmar also has non-ferrous metals such as gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, tin, tungsten, manganese and other non-ferrous metals that are widely distributed. They are distributed from northern Kachin State to Maliwen in southern Tanintharyi.
Among them: gold is distributed in Mako, Xiadusai, Kachin State, near Banmao in Sagaing Province, and in the Mengmi and Gelu areas of Shan State. Silver-lead symbiotic mines are distributed in the southeastern part of Kachin State and along the Enmeikai River, Shan State
Tin-tungsten mixed mines are distributed in Boton, Bolik in Mandalay Province, Kyauksi, Korudu in Karen State, Dichaya, and Dawei in Tanintharyi Province, and are distributed in Taunggyi, Shan State, and Mochi, Kayah State.
, Karen State is directly connected to Dawei and Moji in Mawlamyine and Tanintharyi Provinces. Zinc and manganese are distributed in southern Shan State. Antimony is distributed in northwest, north and east Shan State, Kayah State and Karen State.
Boton (Baotwin) in Shan State is a multi-metal mining area with gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc and antimony. Before World War II, there were nearly 3,000 underground workers in the mining area. During the war, the mines were damaged.
The Mochi Mine in Kayah State, which was restored in 1951, mainly produces tin and tungsten. Although its scale is not as large as Boton, its tungsten output ranks first in the country. Before the war, the mine produced more than 5,500 tons of tin and tungsten, accounting for 10% of the national output.
Half and half are produced in Dawei and Mojitie, which are distributed in the upper reaches of the Enmekhai River, northwest Shan State, and east Mandalay. In June 1961, the Myanmar Petroleum and Mineral Exploration Company and the German Bolan Geyu Company near Taunggyi
An iron ore with reserves of 63 million tons was discovered through exploration in the Binbai area. The iron content of the iron ore is 53%. Myanmar’s coal resources are not very rich, but they are found in Dawei, Indi, Shwemao, and Nandu in Shan State.
, Gelu, some areas of Kachin State, the area east of Mandalay, Sittwe in Rakhine State and the Moji area of Tanintharyi, there is coal. In June 1961, reserves of 128 million tons were discovered in Gariwa.
Coal mines, gems, jade, and diamonds are the world's famous gem and jade producing areas. The main producing area of gems is Mogok, which is rich in rubies and sapphires. In 1989, a new gemstone origin was discovered in Bingnong Village in Nandu, Shan State. The Myanmar government placed Bingnong
The surrounding areas are designated as national exclusive gem-producing areas. Jade mines are distributed in the northern part of Kachin State. The main producing areas are Menggong, Kambaidi, Nongken, and Pagan diamonds are mainly produced in the area near Jingduo Village in Mengmi Township.
