Through system skills, Tang Cheng already knew that what the old man said was not to deceive him, but he could not easily believe this British old man. The reply given by Tang Cheng sounded very tactful, but in fact he was telling Thomas, don't
He used his family to blackmail himself. I don’t know if the old man heard the deep meaning in Tang Cheng’s words, but the old man’s expression had softened. Seeing that Tang Cheng did not want to continue to dwell on this matter, the old man changed the subject and mentioned it again.
and things in Thailand.
Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, "I don't have enough manpower now. Just one Burma is enough to give me a headache! Although the Thai royal family is currently staying in the palace in Bangkok, they are not like
Showing such honesty! If not, I had forcibly disbanded the Thai army and took over their police system, the Thai royal family might have rebelled long ago! I have recruited thousands of people from Europe who have retired from the army
veterans, once they are in place, the situation in Thailand will gradually stabilize."
The reply given by Tang Cheng was half true and half false. It was true that he recruited veterans from Europe, but those thousands of European veterans were not all of Tang Cheng’s trump cards. The real killer move Tang Cheng prepared for the Thai royal family was the Burmese
The 200,000 Burmese indigenous militiamen being trained by the North. Once these 200,000 armed Burmese indigenous militiamen cross the border and enter northern Thailand, they will be like a comb, combing through the entire country from north to south. Once Thailand
Once the resistance forces within the territory are cleared, a large number of Burmese will migrate to Tangcheng and settle in central Thailand.
These Burmese people who have settled in central Thailand will form a barrier that will completely separate the northern area close to China and become Tangcheng's ideal industrial base. Moreover, Tangcheng will also build a large number of permanent buildings here.
Hidden fortifications, future exchanges with the country will be conducted through here. Thomas heard this and shook his head repeatedly, "Although the UK has given up on Myanmar, it will never allow your family to grow in South Asia! Do you really think that the UK has given up?
Myanmar, is it really because you can make money for the royal family?"
Thomas' words made Tang Cheng a little confused. When he and Hans discussed the matter in private before, he also felt that the attitude of the British royal family and government was a bit abnormal. "The main reason why the British gave up on Burma was that the Americans had already taken over their hands.
They have reached Asia! Their original scope of activities was only in the Philippines, but now, they not only control Japan, but also support China's civil war! When I left London, the British intelligence agency had received the news that the American plan was launched
Japanese soldiers
Factory to provide arms support to the Nationalist Government."
If Tang Cheng still had some doubts about what Thomas said before, then Tang Cheng didn’t believe it at all about what Thomas said later about activating the Japanese arsenal. Japan is a defeated country, and it is still at the critical moment of accepting the trial of war criminals by the International Court of Justice. Even if
The Americans have made this plan, and I believe that the Japanese will not foolishly agree to this plan of the Americans. "This piece of information does not mean anything, but it confirms that the Americans do have attitudes and thoughts about intervening in Asian affairs! Myanmar and India are related to each other.
Neighbor, Britain gave up Burma just to add a barrier to India!"
"Furthermore, this war has consumed too many young and middle-aged British people. Now that the war is over, Britain must reduce its military strength to a certain extent. After reducing its military strength to a certain extent, the number of troops stationed in the empire's overseas colonies will also be reduced accordingly.
Compared with India, Burma is not that important, and when the Japanese army attacked Burma, the local people in Burma helped the Japanese army attack us. Compared with the Japanese army who are also Asians, those Burmese people seemed to hate us more."
"Some people in the government, after carefully reviewing the investigation materials against you, feel that you are not a soft-hearted person. They also want to use your means to teach those Burmese people a lesson! Facts have proved that you have done a good job.
The number of Burmese locals in the northern region has dropped sharply to one-third of the previous number! Thailand’s position is destined not to be ignored by Americans, so both the royal family and high-level government officials hope to see you and Americans, because Thailand
issues conflicted.”
"You are the governor-general of Myanmar appointed by the royal family. Once you conflict with the Americans, the empire will have an excuse to intervene in mediation! Compared with India, both Burma and Thailand are barren lands. This is the consensus of the empire's senior officials.
! And you have shown no aggression from the beginning, which also confused many high-level government officials! Furthermore, you are really good at making money. The royal family and nobles have all lost because of this damn war.
Having lost most of their family wealth, they need a chance to rejuvenate."
"Your appearance just meets the needs of the royal family and aristocratic groups, and the opportunities you provide are all in an upright way, which makes it even more rare! Emperor
Some people among the top leaders of the country are already suspecting that there should be an interest group behind you, or a secret organization, otherwise you would not know so many things!" Thomas said here, suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Tangcheng
There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Tang Cheng laughed out loud when he heard this, "I only have a group of like-minded partners. How can there be any interest groups or secret organizations! In the oil fields of Egypt and the mines of South Africa, as long as you are familiar with the local environment, you can read more about them.
With the information, it is not difficult to analyze the general situation. You have investigated me and you should know that when I was still a patrol policeman in Nanjing, I had secretly helped the military commander to arrest the Japanese and puppet spies in Nanjing. Among the Japanese and puppet spies that I came into contact with
, not only military intelligence agents, but also commercial spies.”
"Those commercial spies active in Nanjing and Shanghai are also related to each other. Among them are many foreign commercial spies from Europe! I have several diaries and secret materials belonging to these commercial spies. Don't worry.
If you don’t believe it, I can take out one of the diaries and show it to you right now. It also marks the distribution of some minerals in Central Africa!” Tang Cheng said that he could take out one of the diaries, but he was too late.
Thomas, who had not yet made any move, had doubts in his heart and secretly cursed the little fox in his heart!
But Thomas didn't know that Tang Cheng had dared to say this, so he was naturally prepared. As early as when he first arranged for Hans to go to London with the information, he asked Mr. Ma to get two forgery masters from Peking.
According to his own plan, he forged more than a dozen diaries and information recorded in multiple languages. A young man who had never left China could actually know the mining situation abroad. Anyone else would be suspicious of Tangcheng. Although
The British royal family has never shown any doubts from the beginning, but Tangcheng must be prepared for all responses.
Tang Cheng, who still had a smile on his face, looked at Thomas silently for more than a dozen breaths. Seeing that the old man kept staring at him without saying a word, Tang Cheng could only pretend to be cool and took out a small cowhide leather bag from his underwear pocket.
Ben. "This is the first diary I have found. It belongs to a Portuguese commercial spy! Although I don't know how this Portuguese got the information in the diary, this diary already belongs to me!" Tang Cheng said
After saying this, he deliberately pretended to be in pain and handed the small cowhide book to Thomas.
Half convinced
Thomas, who was doubtful, reached out and took the small book. Before he opened the small book, Thomas could feel the difference in the small book from the cowhide cover. Sure enough, Thomas, who was wearing a single-sided glasses, just opened the small book.
After flipping through a few pages at random, he immediately straightened his face and closed the notebook. After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Thomas looked at Tang Cheng again, "If you are willing to hand over this diary to the royal family, I can guarantee that the royal family will agree.
Increase your shares in the mining company! Moreover, we will sell you two cruisers that are still in service at the price of scrap metal."
It is definitely not easy for Thomas to become a noble closely related to the British royal family. He just flipped through a few pages and already saw the importance and great value of this small book. Only after weighing it in his mind, he would use the mining company
He used his shares and warships as bargaining chips to exchange this cowhide book with Tang Cheng. Although Tang Cheng was already happy in his heart, there was no joy at all on his face, only the anger of being robbed of a good thing.
.
There are more than a dozen such diaries in Tang Cheng’s personal equipment bag, each of which records more or less content and information related to global minerals. The one Tang Cheng just handed over to Thomas,
It records some mineral information that has not yet been discovered in Germany. Germany has always been considered a resource-poor country. If Mustache could have known that Germany itself had resources before launching the war, perhaps this war would not have happened.
It ended with Germany's surrender.
And Thomas would be so generous simply because these resources are within Germany. The Americans and the Soviets are preparing to divide post-war Germany into two. Now that the United Kingdom has mastered the clearing of resources in Germany, then, the United Kingdom
There was an opportunity to intervene in this matter. Moreover, in this war, the United Kingdom not only spent a lot of resources and wealth, but in order to defeat the damn Germany, they also became a debtor, and the United States, which had been staying away from the war, became a debtor.
Britain's largest creditor.
If the information in this small book is true, then the UK not only has the capital to bargain with the Americans. They can use this small book as a bargaining chip, not only to intervene in the affairs of post-war Germany, but also to increase Britain's voice in Europe.
power, and could also use these resources in Germany to repay debts owed to the United States. Thomas was not afraid of Americans being uncompromising, because Britain was not only an ally with the United States, but also an ally with the Soviet Union.
