After a long wait, the frontline troops finally launched a counterattack. Although it was not a full-scale counterattack, it was enough to make Tangcheng ecstatic, especially when the US Air Force in China bombed Japanese military targets in Shanghai and Fuzhou.
These are not what Tang Cheng focuses on. What he is most interested in is the news that the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Indian Expeditionary Force will join forces in Mangyou. The smooth joining of the expeditionary forces indicates that the war in Myanmar is about to end, and Tang Cheng needs to do something
Make all preparations, especially preparations to deal with the British army.
After Hans left, Tang Cheng's radio station installed in his backyard continued to send telegrams to Zhang Jianghe in Myanmar. In these telegrams written in secret language, Tang Cheng explained to Zhang Jianghe that he was not able to go to northern Myanmar for the time being.
reasons, and the importance of Hans going to the UK. Zhang Jianghe, who was still in Myanmar, had no choice but to temporarily take over Hans's original job according to Tang Cheng's request. Fortunately, the output of those gold mines was good.
The top brass of the British army, who were jealous of the money, were also a little wary of Zhang Jianghe's status as military commander, and the two sides were fairly close in contact.
However, Tangcheng has not always had smooth sailing. The black market in the military camp is becoming more and more prosperous, but the money in Tangcheng's hands is getting less and less. After Hans left, Tangcheng increased its efforts to transport various materials to northern Myanmar. Kunming
Almost all the mules and horses in the surrounding area have been bought up by Mr. Ma and others. And transporting a large amount of materials requires a huge amount of money to support. The wealth of the elders who participated in the plan has been put on the construction of mines and roads.
Tangcheng could only use its own wealth.
In order to maintain the transportation of supplies, Tang Cheng had spent all the gold and oceans at home. He had no choice but to find Xu Huanshan. "I thought you would never see me again!" In a teahouse in the east of the city,
Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan sat face to face. This teahouse was a new stronghold of Chongqing's underground party organization. Xu Huanshan's words did not receive an explanation from Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng just smiled and took out a piece of information and handed it to Xu Huanshan.
"This is a piece of exploration data on various mines in the Yan'an area and its surrounding areas. Yan'an is full of talents, so it shouldn't be difficult to judge the authenticity of this data." Tang Cheng motioned to Xu Huanshan to check the data, but he lit a cigarette.
, and then started smoking silently. "Here is only half of the information. After glaring at me and stating my request, you can decide whether to read the remaining half." Facing Xu Huanshan's probing eyes with a hint of annoyance, Tang Cheng's attitude
He was very determined. After thinking about it for a while, Xu Huanshan could only nod lightly towards Tang Cheng.
"I need a sum of money, a big sum, and I also need a batch of
Skilled technicians. The matter in Myanmar will have a result soon. There is not much time left for me, so I need to speed up my plan. Funds and technicians are the only things I lack at the moment. I use this weapon
Drawings, in exchange for a short-term loan of funds and three years of employment of no less than fifty skilled craftsmen. These are my conditions, and I hope you will give me an answer as soon as possible."
After Tang Cheng stated his conditions, he pointed at half of the information in Xu Huanshan's hand and said, "I know that the Eighth Route Army also has an arsenal, but because of the lack of material sources, the Eighth Route Army's arsenal has always been mainly for the maintenance of weapons and equipment. Yan'an is yours
The actual control area of the state cannot reach you yet. These coordinates in the data can ensure that you can find all kinds of minerals you need around Yan'an, especially the copper, iron and coal needed by the arsenal."
Tang Cheng has made it very clear, and he has not deceived Xu Huanshan. All the coordinates marked in the data represent a mine around Yan'an. If the Eighth Route Army actually controls and mines these mines, the amount of minerals produced will be
There is no guarantee, but there should be no problem with the arsenals that feed the Eighth Route Army. This matter is not a small matter, and Xu Huanshan did not dare to make the decision, so after thinking about it secretly, he did not ask to see the remaining half of the information, but asked Tangcheng to wait
Two days.
An hour later, after careful consideration, Xu Huanshan used the radio to report the matter directly to Yan'an Teco. After receiving the report, Yan'an Teco did not dare to neglect, and took the translated message to report the matter.
It was given to the highest level. Half an hour later, some troops around Yan'an were urgently mobilized to conduct surveys one by one according to the coordinates mentioned in the telegram. The results of the survey were naturally exciting. According to the coordinates in the telegram,
The mobilized troops successively found coal and iron mines.
"It seems that our little friend did not deceive us!" In a small cave dwelling, several senior executives from the central government were sitting together and discussing the emergency message sent from Chongqing. "Myanmar"
The situation has basically become clear. Our friend needs financial support at this time. It seems that he is determined to plot against Myanmar!" Thanks to Xu Huanshan's support for Tangcheng
Yan'an Teco has already sent people south to sneak into northern Myanmar, so Yan'an Teco is not unfamiliar with matters in Myanmar.
"I heard that this Tang city is very troublesome. He was originally just a small patrol in Nanjing city, but now he is someone who can't be easily messed with in Chongqing city. His search team has made many arrests in Chongqing city.
The Japanese and puppet agents prepared to attack the Nan'an villa twice, and I heard that he led his people to deal with it." The senior Yan'an person who spoke did not have any prejudice against Tang Cheng, whom he had never met before. He spoke like this because of Tang Cheng.
The city’s relationship with the military and Nan’an Villa.
"According to the investigation by the Chongqing underground party organization, this Tangcheng has a good reputation in Chongqing. Although this person is young, he is a smart man and has never participated in politics or internal fighting. The investigation on Teko's side also shows that this person does not care about
Whether in Nanjing or Chongqing, they only deal with Japanese and puppet spies and traitors and scum, and never participate in actions against underground party organizations. And according to a report from a Special Branch insider, the sensational escape from the Shanghai Solitary Army Camp is related to this Tangcheng
.”
The opinions of the senior officials in Yan'an are not unified, and some of them are very optimistic about Tangcheng. After all, Tangcheng has never expressed a hostile attitude towards the underground party or Yan'an. Moreover, Xu Huanshan, who is now staying in Chongqing and in contact with Tangcheng alone, Tangcheng
Cheng Ke was very helpful. Without Tang Cheng, Xu Huanshan might have been caught by the Central Government. "Tang Cheng has now proposed to lend us a short-term loan of funds. I personally think that this fund can be lent to him. But.
We have to carefully consider the skilled technicians he needs, after all, our own arsenal also needs these technicians."
As the incident progressed, the discussions among the senior officials in Yan'an gradually deviated from their agenda. Now it was no longer a matter of whether funds should be provided to Tangcheng, but what Tangcheng wanted to do to Myanmar, because none of them had any idea.
I believe that with just the few people Tangcheng has arranged in northern Myanmar, we can take over the entire Myanmar. After several hours of repeated discussions and deductions, the senior officials in Yan'an are still confused, because according to their discussions and deductions, Tangcheng
It is impossible to have the possibility and opportunity to occupy the entire Myanmar.
At this moment, the senior officials in Yan'an do not know that Tangcheng came from later generations, and they do not know that the complete defeat of the Japanese army does not mean that the country will calm down. And with the beginning of the civil war, Tangcheng can divert people from the country anytime and anywhere.
A large number of Chinese went south to escape the chaos in Myanmar. It has a population of 400 million.
In China, Tangcheng only needs to divert 1% of the population, which is a population of four million. Moreover, China is not the only country with Chinese in Asia. South Asia, which is in chaos after the war, is also a good place for Tangcheng to introduce Chinese.
Therefore, what Yan'an's senior officials are worried about is not the biggest problem here in Tangcheng. He only needs to get the number of Chinese in northern Burma to exceed 500,000 before Japan fully surrenders. Tangcheng's plan here in Yan'an
They didn't understand, so their worries were unnecessary. After a night of repeated discussions, Yan'an finally made a decision. Yan'an could provide the funds and loans required by Tangcheng, but the skilled technicians item was not approved for the time being.
When Tangcheng saw Xu Huanshan again on the third day, he learned about the two requests he made. Yan'an only agreed to lend him a sum of money, and for skilled technicians, Xu Huanshan only said that it had not been approved for the time being. But Xu Huanshan did not know
, Tang Cheng deliberately made the request to hire skilled technicians that day, and he also knew that Yan'an would never agree to his request. From the beginning to the end, Tang Cheng only asked for a loan of funds and the hiring of skilled technicians.
It's just a cover for him.
There is an American Citibank office in Chongqing. What Xu Huanshan handed over to Tangcheng was the Citibank account number, and there were three million US dollars in the account. "This money is a donation from overseas Chinese, so this money must not be
Something went wrong, otherwise my sin will be huge." Xu Huanshan looked a little reluctant to hand over the account, but Tangcheng transferred all the US dollars in the account that day.
With the funds borrowed from Yan'an, it is finally time for Tangcheng's other plans to be implemented. Tangcheng now cooperates with Deputy Commander Huang in a tacit understanding. No matter how many available manpower he finds, Huang
The deputy commander was able to guarantee that he would be sent to northern Myanmar in the shortest possible time. Throughout February, Tangcheng was extremely busy. Deputy commander Huang, who had been doing nothing all day long, was so tired that he lost weight.
Time entered March, and Tangcheng finally received the telegram sent by Hans from the British mainland, saying that the trip to the UK was not smooth. The American warship they were traveling on was almost sunk by a German submarine during the journey. However, they set foot in England.
After the Three Islands, Hans' luck improved. The aristocratic officer they supported not only successfully inherited the family's noble title, but Hans also established a relationship with the British royal family through this newly promoted member of the aristocracy.
