"Mike will come to Lieduo to join you tomorrow. The headquarters has a new battle plan, and you will have to dispatch it." Huang Hanju had already whispered a few words to Tang Cheng before he got out of the jeep. Huang Hanju
This time he came with nothing empty-handed. He brought a truck full of ammunition from Ramgarh, and along the way he also brought the latest developments of the Ramgarh headquarters.
Tang Cheng looked around with the corners of his eyes, nodded and smiled, "I already had this hunch when you asked Cai Jincheng to send a message last time. I will use the radio to call Dice and them back soon, which will save the money."
Mike will come and teach me tomorrow." After Huang Hanju got off the jeep, Tang Cheng motioned to Tan Fei beside him to organize people to unload the ammunition and supplies on the truck, and took Huang Hanju to his room.
Having been idle in Lieduo for two months, I finally heard the news that the troops were about to be dispatched. Tangcheng felt a little excited in his heart. When he walked, he no longer looked like he was dragging his feet but looked a little aggressive. Tangcheng's
Huang Hanju's reaction had long been noticed. If Huang Hanju was an officer leading the team, it would be good to have such soldiers under his command. However, Huang Hanju had already regarded Tangcheng as his family. How could he hope that Tangcheng would go to the army again?
Go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese army.
"Xiaocheng, I came with your sister's intention this time. If it doesn't work out, just stay behind with me. I think Hou San and Dice are pretty good people, so just ask them to take your men with them."
, Your sister is very worried about you." Huang Hanju entered Tang Cheng's room, first took the herbal tea from Tang Cheng and drank a sip. Although he knew that Tang Cheng might reject his proposal, Huang Hanju couldn't resist his woman's advice.
Only then did he reveal his true purpose of coming.
Tang Cheng never thought that Huang Hanju came this time to persuade him to stay in the rear. He was just stunned for a moment, and then Tang Cheng smiled, "Brother-in-law, these brothers of mine will live and die with me. There will be something soon."
After the order came down, you asked me to stay in the rear. Not only did I have no way to explain to my brothers, but maybe Mike also couldn't give it to me. Besides, there was also our plan. If I didn't follow them in person, Third Brother and the others would
But if you don’t acknowledge Mike’s account, if things go wrong and something unexpected happens, then all your efforts will be wasted.”
Huang Hanju shook his head in confusion, "Your sister said that our family is not short of the money, as long as you can go home safely. The business of our restaurant is very good, and George has been to Kunming several times.
, I also bought a lot of American goods for my family, which sell well on the black market. Your sister said that the money is enough for our family to spend, even if we don’t get gold mines and jade, it’s okay.” Huang Hanju said.
Tang Cheng couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He had clearly seen a trace of reluctance in Huang Hanju's eyes just now.
"Mike is not favored by Stilwell now. He is only thinking about making money. I don't think he plans to enter politics even if he returns to the United States. As long as you tell him the location of the gold mine and the emerald mine, I will talk to him
Let's discuss it, maybe we can really keep you behind." Huang Hanju said to himself, and even helped Tang Cheng think of an excuse to stay behind. "Don't you know the director of the hospital here very well?
, just say that you are seriously ill or have a recurrence of an old injury. At worst, we can give him some money."
Although Huang Hanju's words made Tang Cheng feel warm, he was still a little dumbfounded by the strange excuse the other party came up with. His brother-in-law thought that those from the Military Justice Department were too simple. "Brother-in-law, I'm fine.
There's no need to make excuses to stay behind. Don't you still believe in my skills? I was beaten like that by the Japanese army in Xiaojieling. I haven't survived well. Just call me Sister and relax. I will definitely
I can go back to Kunming alive to see her and the children."
"Brother-in-law, I am the company commander, and the more than 200 people under me are all my brothers. I can't leave them behind to hide in the rear. I agreed to you to develop this gold mine and emeralds just to get these brothers.
Give them some money to support their families, and wait until the war stops, so as to give them some money to settle down. We can't let them bleed but not be able to support themselves." Tang Cheng smiled and took out the cigarettes and handed one to them.
Huang Hanju, who saw that Tangcheng was now in a state of insecurity, had no choice but to sigh and reach out to take the cigarette, no longer trying to persuade Tangcheng to stay.
"The Japanese killed my adoptive father. Later, my two company commanders were also killed and wounded at the hands of Japanese soldiers. I said that I would kill the Japanese to avenge him. If the Japanese did not surrender, I would kill the Japanese soldiers every day.
I think there will be a day when they are defeated. Looking at the current situation, I guess that day will not be far away." Helping Huang Hanju light the cigarette, Tang Cheng began to look forward to life after the war. "The climate in Kunming is very good.
It’s much better than Macheng. When the war is over, our family will go to the United States and buy a big ranch so that you, brother-in-law, can live the experience of being an American landowner."
The longing for Tangcheng made Huang Hanju smile in his eyes. Regarding buying a ranch in the United States, Huang Hanju had actually asked George in private several times. The Huang family's current money is enough for them to buy a ranch after they move to the United States.
Huang Hanju, who was already pleased with the big ranch, still pretended to be nonchalant on the surface, "What's so good about American ranches? I heard that Americans don't look down on us Chinese, and their ranches are generally very desolate."
It’s a place where you can’t see many people even after walking for a long time, so it’s not as good as here in Kunming.”
"It's better if there are fewer people. At worst, we can just fence our pasture and no one will know what we are doing inside. Don't worry about whether Americans think highly of us or not, as long as we have money,
If we have more money than them, I don’t think anyone can look down on us. I heard from George that it is legal for Americans to have guns in their homes. I don’t believe that my third brother and I, who have fought to the death in battles, can protect us.
Even God doesn’t know how some blind Americans can come and cause trouble, kill people and bury them in the pasture.”
Mike would come to Liduo the next day, and Huang Hanju had no intention of returning to Lambjia that day. Tang Cheng simply took the fishing things and accompanied Huang Hanju to the small river to hang fish for a whole day, but the harvest was not much.
, but the two of them discussed for a whole day how big of a ranch to buy after going to the United States. It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark and the dice sent by Tangcheng to help the engineering troops clear out the Japanese army that they returned to the military camp exhausted and brought them back together.
There are more than a dozen Japanese 38 rifles and some ammunition. In dice terms, there are very few Japanese troops here at Guimenguan.
After a simple dinner, Tang Cheng once again summoned Hou San and the others to his room, "Mike will come from Lambgar to join us tomorrow. Mike will probably bring the orders from the headquarters, that is,
He said, we are about to leave." Without looking at Hou San's reaction, Tang Cheng just took the map handed over by Liu Shitou and spread it on the table. "This is Magao. After we pass through the jungle of Yeren Mountain, we will
We have been operating near Magao to attract the attention of the Japanese army in northern Burma. The flying team will airdrop supplies to us at any time, so you no longer have to worry about ammunition."
"Here and here, I think you should be familiar with them. This is the location of the gold and jade mines that we know from the Burmese. When Mike comes to us tomorrow, he will not only bring the latest orders from the headquarters, but also the
Come here with two geological engineers and some tools and equipment. When we get to the outskirts of Magao, we will mine gold and jade in these two places without anyone noticing. These things will eventually be transported back to Kunming for disposal, and the money we get will be yours.
The money to support the family in the future is also a way out that I have prepared for everyone."
"I knew it, I knew it." Dice, who was sitting next to Tang Cheng, couldn't help but reach out and rub his bald head, but he looked at the map that Tang Cheng had opened on the table without blinking.
The scorching heat seemed to be roasting the map. When Tangcheng ordered to use explosives to block the jade mine, Dice felt a little strange. In Dice's opinion, the gold mine near Wushan's village was not interesting, but this jade mine was
Mines are where money comes from.
"Only you few know about this matter, so don't spread it to the outside world yet. When we get to Magao, I will naturally tell others. If I can't do it by then, it won't cause other brothers under my command to have other thoughts.
That’s how it was planned, but it all depends on God’s will.” Tang Cheng’s subsequent explanation made everyone nod in unison, in case there are many Japanese troops outside Magao, let alone taking the opportunity to dig for gold.
and Jade, if they can save their lives by then, it will be pretty good.
"Sir, I don't think the gold mine next to Wushan's village is very interesting. Digging gold mines is not a simple matter. It requires a lot of manpower. Can the Japanese army give us so much time? Instead, they are working on the jade mine.
It's simpler, they're all stones, just take them out of the hole, and then we can use explosives directly, which is much faster than digging for gold." I gave Hou San and others careful instructions, and when they left, the dice
Instead, he pulled Tang Cheng to express his thoughts.
"Xiaocheng, I think Dice is right. Compared with jade mines, digging for gold is much more troublesome. Besides, the Japanese army may not be able to give us that much time. Even if the Japanese army outside Magao cannot find us, the command headquarters
They may not be able to let us hang around Magao all the time. They won't airdrop supplies in vain." Dice's words also reminded Huang Hanju. Thinking about it carefully, it is really unreliable to go to Magao to dig gold now.
Besides, they are still not sure how big the reserves are in that gold mine.
