Thailand is different from northern Burma. Tang Cheng intervened strongly in northern Burma because he found the right time. It happened to be when the Japanese army attacked Burma. The British army fled without a fight, putting all the pressure on the Chinese army.
At that time, northern Myanmar was in a period of extreme chaos. In addition to the Japanese army, there were also various sizes of chieftains in northern Myanmar fighting for their own rule. Tangcheng's forces initially entered northern Myanmar only in the name of mining and smuggling.
Establish a foothold in northern Myanmar.
Later, with the changes in the war in Myanmar, and Hans's continuous bribing of British military leaders, Tangcheng really entered northern Myanmar and began to establish its own power. But Thailand is different. After all, Thailand is a complete country, and they have
The existence of the royal family. In particular, when the Japanese army was raging in South Asia, Thailand was not full of war like Myanmar. Even when the Japanese army attacked Myanmar, the Thai army cooperated with the Japanese army from the flanks and tried to attack the national army across the border.
When the Japanese retreated from Myanmar, many Thais helped the Japanese army provide evacuation routes, and even deliberately concealed the direction and route of the Japanese army's retreat in front of the expeditionary force and the British army. In other words, in this war,
The Thais who had not suffered any losses in the war were, to a certain extent, even on the side of the Japanese army. Therefore, it was very difficult to control such a country. However, Tangcheng did not care. As long as the British did not object, they
Take over Thailand's police department and military, and the rest will be easy.
After the Japanese originally planned to occupy China, it would take several generations to subtly control the whole of China. After all, China is too big. But Tangcheng did not have that long, so he planned to give the Thais a simple and crude way. First,
Control Thailand's military and police. Then use economic means and the Chinese business groups in South Asia to gradually control Thailand's economic lifeline. Without the two pillars of the military and economy, even if the Thai royal family gains support from Western countries, they will not be able to make a big fortune.
of storms.
Then there are the second-line Burmese troops who were ordered to enter Thailand. Those Burmese natives have tasted the benefits of robbing Thais, and they will not stop anymore. As long as Tangcheng makes good use of the conflict between Burmese and Thais,
Over time, the lower-class Thai commoners will completely lose respect for the royal family if they do not see the royal family. As long as the upper class in Thailand is controlled, the lower-class commoners who do not even know the word can only accept their fate.
A week later, Tang Cheng returned to Japan after leaving behind a lot of affairs. As soon as Hans met him, he couldn't wait to ask about Thailand.
Tang Cheng didn't hide his love. He directly took out the map, pointed at the map on the table with his finger, and began to draw a pie for Hans. "I didn't originally want to control the whole of Thailand. I just thought, Thailand
There are many islands with beautiful scenery offshore. I just thought that I would take this opportunity to build a few islands so that we can have more vacation places in the future."
"But I didn't expect at that time that the Jews were so capable of fighting that they even occupied Bangkok. The Thai army retreated all the way. When I saw such a good opportunity, if we didn't join in, wouldn't it be in vain?
A good opportunity. Our people crossed the border from northern Myanmar and happened to intercept the Thai royal family trying to flee south in Han City. The royal family is in hand, so what do I have to worry about!" Tang Cheng smiled triumphantly, comparing himself and Thailand
The agreement between the royal family was told to Hans word for word.
After hearing this, Hans didn't speak for a long time, but looked at the map on the table carefully. After a while, Hans finally looked up at Tangcheng, "I don't know if anyone has given you any advice, but you talked to the Thai royal family
The conditions are very good! We don’t annex them directly, but just take over their military power and police department, which saves a lot of trouble! Without the protection of force, the Thai royal family will find it difficult to stir up trouble even if there are people behind it." Han.
Tang Cheng was a little surprised when Si Yiyi said Tang Cheng's purpose.
"But your decision to mobilize the Burmese troops to move south is a bit hasty. I know that you intend to use those Burmese people to suppress and control the Thai people. But if the greed of the Burmese people is infinitely magnified, and once a third party appears to support them, these
The Burmese army may take the opportunity to expand. By then, a badly beaten Thailand is not the result we want to see!" Hans expressed his worries, but saw Tang Cheng looking at him with a look of disdain.
He curled his lips and sneered.
"Don't tell me, I just want those Burmese natives to cause trouble! The current Chinese in Burma, plus the Germans you brought from Europe, the total does not exceed 600,000. Although our cleaning team is already very large
We are working hard, but the number of Burmese people is currently at least over nine million. The difference in number is more than ten times. This is our biggest trouble. If they really want to cause trouble, I can just solve them.
One batch."
"The same goes for the Thais. Those damn guys are still saying good things about the Japanese. If the Burmese and the Thais really start fighting, we will only be the ones who benefit in the end!" In front of Hans, Tang said
Cheng did not hide his plans. And Hans also finally figured out Tang Cheng’s next plan from Tang Cheng’s words, especially Tang Cheng’s intention to retain the Thai royal family. “I keep them because I don’t want the British to borrow them.
If you use the opportunity to cause trouble, a locked up royal family will not cause any trouble."
Tangcheng abandoned the mess in Thailand and ran away to Japan. After receiving the news, Zhang Jianghe could only temporarily transfer manpower from northern Myanmar to take over the affairs of Thailand. The Chinese businessmen living in Thailand have now found a way to turn over.
Given the opportunity, they even took the initiative to contact Chinese businessmen from other countries in South Asia and invited them to come to Thailand for development. Among all overseas Chinese groups, only the Chinese living in South Asia had the worst life, because they were often oppressed by the local indigenous people.
They didn't believe what happened in Thailand at first. After they received telegrams and letters from Chinese businessmen in Thailand, they finally believed in the great changes that had taken place in Thailand. When they felt Thailand, their first impression was that they could see red military police armbands everywhere.
The patrol team, but none of the corrupt Thai policemen could be seen. "This is nothing, let alone the police. In Thailand now, even the army has been abolished!" A local Chinese businessman who came to pick up people at the pier said,
He secretly pouted at the patrols on the dock.
"Did you see that those wearing the military police armbands are all from northern Myanmar! They are all private soldiers of the Tang family in northern Myanmar! The Thai royal family is imprisoned in the Bangkok Palace. The current Thailand is the responsibility of the Tang family in northern Myanmar.
Forget it. Whether it is the police station or the army, it is others who have the final say! In other words, Thailand now belongs to us Chinese!" After two days of traveling in Thailand, Chinese businessmen from other countries in South Asia finally figured out what Thailand is.
The current status quo, in Thailand now, it is indeed the Chinese who have the final say.
According to Tangcheng's plan, heavy industry and chemical industry, agricultural and forestry crops, grain and tobacco leaf cultivation are absolutely not allowed in Thailand, just like Myanmar, which is what Tangcheng welcomes the most. Thailand was not originally a big country in rubber planting, and it cooperated with Chinese businessmen from other countries in South Asia.
After establishing the relationship, Tangcheng planned to promote rubber planting in the area south of Bangkok. Tangcheng had already told Hans a long time ago about the principle of not developing heavy industry, but when rubber planting was forcibly implemented in Thailand, Hans
But Si didn't understand.
However, Tang Cheng was not in the mood to explain these things to Hans now. He had not stayed in Japan for a few more days and hurried back to Myanmar. Tang Cheng returned to Myanmar because he received a telegram from Zhang Jianghe. Things in Thailand had caused domestic concern.
Some people have noticed Tangcheng. There have always been British troops stationed in Myanmar, so Tangcheng is not worried about people in the country causing trouble. However, the situation in Thailand is different. Neither Americans nor Jews can come forward to help Tangcheng carry this.
A scapegoat.
When I returned to Tangcheng, Myanmar, I met Zhang Jianghe as soon as possible. Compared with the last time we met, Zhang Jianghe looked very tired now. "You kid, you are just restless! Things in Myanmar are still there.
It's not finished yet, so you're causing trouble in Thailand again!" Zhang Jianghe was still very happy to see Tangcheng, but his tone of voice didn't sound optimistic. "My people who stayed in Chongqing said that the government is already planning
When you move back to Nanjing, the things you did in Thailand will have a great impact, and some high-level figures in the government have already noticed you."
Tang Cheng did not take Zhang Jianghe's warning to heart. He returned to Myanmar this time mainly to prepare for the establishment of a secret arsenal in northern Thailand. "Just keep an eye on it! Based on the current situation in the country, there will soon be
They are already busy, and by that time, I'm afraid they won't have time to pay attention to me anymore." Tang Cheng's answer made Zhang Jianghe slightly stunned. Although Zhang Jianghe has been in Myanmar, as he owns an independent radio station, he has always followed me.
Contact Yan'an.
The Japanese surrendered, but judging from the attitude of the national government, there is a high possibility of tearing up the agreement. Once fighting starts in the country, both the national government and Yan'an will become extremely busy. Just a few days before Tangcheng returned to Myanmar,
Zhang Jiang and Cai sent away a group of artillerymen who went south to northern Myanmar for training. This group of artillerymen had already experienced actual combat in the previous Middle East war. After they returned to Yan'an, they would immediately become the backbone of the Eighth Route Army's artillery force.
When these artillerymen left, they even took away more than a hundred American mortars and a batch of artillery shells that had been repaired by the northern Myanmar arsenal. These mortars and artillery shells will soon be effective on the battlefield. These American mortars
The mortars were all purchased by Hans's recycling company from the US military in the Pacific at cabbage prices. The mortars that were originally supposed to be eliminated were refurbished and repaired by German ordnance technology in northern Myanmar, and their performance was as good as new from the factory.
