Whether it is Tang Cheng or Bureau Zuo, we all know that at this point in time, Bureau Zuo will never leave the military commander easily. Moreover, even if he really lets go of his control over the military commander, the man in the Nan'an Villa may not
I really believe it. Tangcheng came up with several corresponding action plans for this matter, but after the bureau chief understood it, he rejected them all. In the bureau chief's words, when he took over the military command, he was fair and aboveboard.
After taking office, even if he leaves the military command, he must leave in a dignified manner instead of leaving quietly.
The bureau chief had a very stubborn character, and Tang Cheng's persuasion failed, so he stopped mentioning the matter to the bureau chief. However, the bureau chief didn't know that Tang Cheng had not given up on his secret escape plan. In June, good news came.
, the 11th Group Army of the Expeditionary Force crossed the Nu River, and its main attack direction was directed towards the east side of the Burma Highway, building momentum for the next attack. The main force of the Japanese army in Myanmar had already been entangled by other troops of the Expeditionary Force. As soon as the 11th Group Army launched its offensive,
The Japanese army was defeated immediately.
In September, good news appeared again. After the 11th Group Army's new 28th Division captured Lameng, it then began to besiege the Songshan position. News of the continuous victories in Myanmar spread back to Chongqing. Tang Cheng was overjoyed because he knew that the victory of Tengchong and Songshan would be restored.
, is a signal that the Burmese War is about to end. Tangcheng, who still retains the memory of later generations, only remembers that the Burmese War should have ended in 1945, but the specific time has been blurred to him, but he still clearly remembers the liberation of Tengchong and the victory of Songshan.
.
After successfully regaining Tengchong and taking the Songshan position, the expeditionary force was full of momentum. In November, it even captured Longling. At this moment, Tangcheng finally waited for Hans, who had returned from northern Myanmar. It took more than half a year.
, Hans was in northern Myanmar, and when he saw Tang Cheng again, Hans’s words were full of sadness and anguish. Faced with Hans’ specious complaints, Tang Cheng could only smile with his face. After all, in the past half a year, the people in northern Myanmar
Hans was busy with everything. Hans came back this time to celebrate his little daughter's birthday. This was something Hans had agreed with his little daughter when he went to Myanmar before.
The living environment in Chongqing is definitely not as good as Shanghai, but after Hans and his family went south to Chongqing, they felt an unprecedented freedom. Especially the contact with the Tang family made Hans' family feel very friendly and relaxed. If
It wasn't because of etiquette, maybe the twin sisters of the Tang family had already opened a side door on the wall between the two families. Hans' return gave Tang Cheng, who was bored every day, a new idea.
Fun to pass the time.
Hans also knew that although Tangcheng could not go to Myanmar,
But the pressure on Tangcheng is also not small, especially what happened before that the Central Government sent people to follow Tangcheng. "Don't listen to the wind, it will rain!" Tangcheng, who was asked about this by Hans, said in a kind of way
He responded to Hans in a nonchalant tone. "The Central Commander is very valued by that person these days, so they want to make something happen. In their eyes, I should be the easy breakthrough! After all, I have a close relationship with the Military Commander, and
Now Uncle Zhang has been transferred away again, and the bureau chief is even too busy to care about anything."
The subtext in Tang Cheng's words made Hans frown secretly. He did not expect that Tang Cheng's current situation would be so difficult. Seeing Hans's expression, Tang Cheng immediately smiled and said, "Who am I?"
, you don’t know yet! Don’t worry, with just those two attacks, how could they possibly catch me! I just beat them up and they lost their temper. Although this street is short,
, but they just don’t dare to come in!”
Hans didn't actually know that Tang Cheng was hiding at home all day long, but he was just showing weakness on purpose. The purpose of Tang Cheng's doing this was to attract people from Zhongtong to come looking for trouble. But he didn't expect that Zhongtong
The man, this time, learned wisely and refused to be fooled. "Anyway, be careful!" Hans heard this and immediately glanced at Tang Cheng. "If you ask me, you'd better not make trouble with the Zhongtong. We are now
All your energy should be focused on business. If you have time to make trouble with them, you might as well think about where to get the manpower we need."
Hans was talking about things related to northern Myanmar now. Tang Cheng, who was helpless, could only tell Hans everything about the efforts he had made recently. "I know you are not lazy, but this is still
Not enough!" Tang Cheng originally thought that Hans would be considerate of him, but he didn't expect that Hans would not express sympathy for him when he heard this. "The people you sent there before were all armed men, I can't expect those big words
You guys who don’t know a few, go handle your daily affairs!”
"Furthermore, the actual number of those armed personnel, plus their families, has already exceeded 20,000. If 20,000 people were placed in the country, it might only be the size of a town, but in northern Myanmar, their housing and life are not that big.
This is not something that can be easily solved. Moreover, the machinery we need has no hope in the short term, so what do you expect?
It is impossible to achieve large-scale farming in the absorption stage. There are so many people farming in a chaotic manner, and there are so many troubles every day that it almost annoys me to death!"
The large-scale planting that Hans just mentioned was Tang Cheng's idea. He planned to concentrate manpower in northern Myanmar and use machinery to cultivate large areas. The advantage of this is that it can concentrate the grain output during the harvest period, and also
Reduce unnecessary losses in scattered planting. Tang Cheng, who was thinking about changing the topic, immediately became energetic after hearing Hans's complaint. "I said you can't use your brain! I heard that the expeditionary force is watching over there
Without surrendering the captured Japanese tanks, you can't get some over."
As Tang Cheng spoke, he took out a pencil and white paper from the drawer, and drew a small Japanese tank on the white paper in front of Hans. "Although this small tank of the Japanese army has a built-in engine, it has a built-in engine.
The engine and the tank chassis are connected in parallel. We only need to dismantle the tank turret and keep only the tank chassis. Isn’t this just a simple crawler agricultural machine? We add a push shovel to the front and it becomes a crawler
type bulldozer, which can be used for road construction and land leveling.”
"If we add large farm tools for plowing and cultivating at the back, wouldn't it just be an agricultural machine? Japanese tanks are small and lightweight. After removing the turret part, the weight will be even lighter and more suitable for modification.
Agricultural machinery for farming. Moreover, this small tank is easier to learn to drive without the need for a turret. Many of the overseas Chinese in Myanmar can drive. Hiring them to drive this modified tank for farming is not very easy to use.
!”
Tang Cheng solved a big trouble he was facing with just a few words. Even though Hans rolled his eyes at Tang Cheng, he had to admit that Tang Cheng was indeed smart. There were many Japanese weapons and equipment captured by the expeditionary force.
Hans had also seen the small Japanese tanks that Tang Cheng just mentioned with his own eyes. Hans, who was used to German tanks, naturally looked down on those small Japanese tanks, but if all those Japanese small tanks were
Converting it into agricultural machinery is a good idea.
But Hans's expression immediately showed embarrassment. It is not difficult to find people who drive such small Japanese tanks, but northern Myanmar does not have the ability to modify such small tanks. When he told him the difficulty, Tangcheng
He immediately grinned and said, "Two days ago, I recruited a few people who were originally working in the arsenal. And what you said
I also got some of the equipment and tools mentioned! Besides, it’s just a modification, not a new production, so I don’t think there’s any big problem.”
That night, Tang Cheng left home quietly and went to find Xu Huanshan, who was still in Chongqing, and informed him of the current situation in northern Myanmar. Naturally, Tang Cheng came to Xu Huanshan not just for the sake of being with the other party.
Show off in front of him. "Old Xu, there is a good opportunity now, but it depends on the wishes of your superiors." After the two exchanged greetings for a while, Tang Cheng immediately explained the purpose of his visit to Xu Huanshan. "The expeditionary force has seized the weapons and equipment of the Japanese army. It has now been
Leave it to the Burma Station of the Military Command for disposal. My people said there are a lot of good things in it."
Tang Cheng's opening remarks made Xu Huanshan look at Tang Cheng doubtfully. The latter immediately chuckled and said, "Don't think, I'm lying to you! One of my partners just came back from northern Myanmar, and he brought the news
Back. According to him, the Burma Station of Military Unification now manages not only the weapons and equipment seized from the Japanese army by the expeditionary force, but also some damaged American equipment, which have also been temporarily handed over to the Myanmar Burma Station of Military Unification for processing. I'm wondering, where are you?
It would be best if we could send some military technical personnel to go to northern Myanmar."
"I'm not asking you to send people to help repair the damaged American equipment!" Facing Xu Huanshan's suspicious eyes, Tang Cheng explained carefully. "I believe you should also understand the power of American equipment! This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
, a good opportunity to come into close contact with a large amount of American equipment! If nothing else, your people can at least completely copy the data of these American equipment! With the materials and data, can't you imitate exactly the same weapons and equipment?"
"Even if you are limited by materials and cannot imitate weapons and equipment with the same power, you can at least let your soldiers understand the performance of American weapons earlier. This is not a loss after all, right?" The reason given by Tang Cheng,
The reality has moved Xu Huanshan. Like Tangcheng's previous judgment, Yan'an senior officials have long made speculations, predicting that even if the Japanese army is defeated and withdraws from China, there will always be a battle between Yan'an and the government.
The Americans now clearly support the national government, and the man in the South Bank Villa also admires American weapons and equipment. It is hard to say that the national army will not fully replace American weapons and equipment in the future. Therefore, Tangcheng’s proposal,
Xu Huanshan was deeply moved. Being able to understand the performance and power of American weapons and equipment earlier is absolutely necessary for conflicts that may break out in the future.
