The bureau leader didn't know where Tang Cheng got such confidence, but seeing that Tang Cheng was not in a hurry, the bureau leader also calmed down. The two people had nothing to do, drinking juice and chatting in a low voice until Hans appeared. Hans came
We came to Tangcheng not for matters related to India, but for a project. Although the British troops stationed in Myanmar have left, the cannery Tangcheng cooperated with them is still producing. It is said that the canned fruits produced in Myanmar are very popular.
Popular among Africans, especially in North Africa.
Myanmar and Thailand are places rich in fruit. Hans came to Tangcheng this time to expand the canning factory. "I invited a lot of technical personnel from Europe this time. I thought, although our
The sales of canned fruits are good, but the current output of the canning factory cannot consume so much fruit. Tang, I think it is time to expand the scale of the canning factory! If the factory expands production, it can also recruit more workers. I believe
It will also be a good help for your plan." Hans always likes to be straightforward when speaking.
After Tang Cheng heard this, he only thought for a moment before giving his opinion. "The cannery can be expanded, but we can't just produce canned fruits. I think we can start a juice concentrate plant now!" Tang Cheng's words were read by Hans.
Looking at the glass of juice in his hand, the juice squeezed from Burmese fruits is indeed delicious, but what does the juice concentration plant that Tang Cheng mentioned just now mean? In fact, Hans didn't know that the juice he drank when he went to the United States last time,
It is made by adding water to juice concentrate.
Tang Cheng could only patiently explain to Hans, "Myanmar and Thailand are rich in fruits. We can't waste such good resources and conditions in vain! Compared with canned fruits, juice concentrate is more cost-effective and is produced
The process is not cumbersome! Moreover, we can also use the residue after squeezing the juice from the fruit to make feed for livestock breeding. No matter how we plan, we will not suffer any loss here or inside!"
Tang Cheng has been thinking about the juice factory for more than a day or two. Although he has set Myanmar and Thailand as semi-agricultural countries in the future, this does not prevent him from building some light industries. Compared with the textile factories in southern Thailand, deep processing of fruits is more
It has the conditions to be self-sufficient in raw materials, and whether it is canned fruit or juice, these are daily consumables, and the market they face is also huge. It is impossible for Tangcheng to clean up all the local indigenous people, so he still needs these factories to help him disintegrate
local resistance forces.
After discussing with Tangcheng, Hans, who had a large amount of funds and technical personnel in his hands, began to make a big splash
Hans's actions also succeeded in confusing the British to a certain extent. Their spies in Myanmar and Thailand did not notice any changes in Tangcheng. On the contrary, Hans wanted to build a juice factory.
There was a lot of commotion at the juice factory during this time. The senior British government officials originally thought that Tangcheng had given up on its plan to cooperate with Mountbatten because of the long wait.
But they didn't know that just when they thought they were right, northern Myanmar had already sent out a number of cleaning teams and began to follow the marks left by the scouts to open up a route suitable for large troops to pass along the border. The heavy-armed troops commanded by Fang Shengli
, after experiencing this period of synthetic drills, they also turned to a state of staying day and night, and began to secretly move towards the border area. When everyone thought that Tang Cheng had given up on the plan, a large amount of oil and supplies
, has been broken into pieces, and all military personnel from Yan'an have been quietly moved to the border areas.
Tangcheng is already ready to attack at any time, and now it is waiting for the results from Mountbatten's side. The more leisurely Tangcheng behaves, the more prepared the troops hidden on the border are. In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and Fang Shengli
They have moved to the front line of the border. The route opened by the cleaning team has been personally led by Fang Shengli more than once. All the hidden dangers along the way have been eliminated one by one by them. Now it can be said that everything is ready.
Waiting for the east wind to blow, there is still no result from Mountbatten's side.
Tang Cheng didn't care much about this. He just received various intelligence and news from India every day, but no longer mentioned his previous plan. Fortunately, with the completion of the textile factory and the start of the juice factory, Tang Cheng
The city began to become busy again. Thomas, who had been staying in London, also rushed from London to southern Thailand to attend the opening ceremony of the textile factory. "Boss, most of these textile workers are from Shanghai and Suzhou. The domestic situation is chaotic, and many
Businessmen in Shanghai have closed their factories and either went to Nanyang or went south to northern Myanmar."
"We directly hired these textile workers from Shanghai at high wages through the domestic Paoge channel. We signed a six-month contract with them in the first instance. After the six-month contract expires, if they think this place is good, we will sign a new employment contract with them.
.Wukong west of the factory
Inside and outside is the living area we planned. It is close to the railway and the living facilities are more convenient." Tangcheng stayed in southern Thailand, and the person in charge of the textile factory was a German woman from Hamburg. This woman named Paula once worked in Peking.
I have worked as a German translator for several years, so I can speak Mandarin fluently.
After inspecting the textile factory, Tang Cheng was very satisfied with Pola's ability. After praising the other party, Tang Cheng went to meet Thomas. Thomas, who was sophisticated in the world, did not express any objection to Tang Cheng handing over the management of the textile factory to a woman.
, anyway, he had sent financial personnel to check in, and he was not afraid of Tang Cheng playing tricks behind his back. After the two met, they only chatted a little about the textile factory, and the topic naturally shifted to the independence of India.
"There has been no movement from Mountbatten. I guess he is waiting for problems to arise within the Indians. It is said that the Indians are not very united. At least the local kings still hope to maintain relations with the United Kingdom." Thomas said.
Tang Cheng, who was tempted, just expressed his thoughts, but Thomas seemed to agree with his guess. However, he did not expect that Tang Cheng could see from his reaction that Thomas did not go to meet Mountbatten, but
He came directly to his place.
It stands to reason that Thomas, who maintains a close relationship with the royal family, should have gone to India to meet Mountbatten on the way from Europe to Thailand. Tang Cheng, who was full of doubts, secretly thought about it. Could it be said that the British government has now shown its distrust of the royal family?
Are you impatient? When Britain was still an empire on which the sun never set, the power of the royal family was boundless. After the First World War, due to the sacrifices of a large number of noble children, the power of the royal family was gradually weakened. The royal family was once unable to support Buckingham Palace.
repair costs.
After World War II, Britain has transformed from the empire on which the sun never sets to the largest creditor nation in the United States. And because of the emergence of Tangcheng, the British royal family and the domestic aristocracy have all made a lot of money and are struggling to rebuild.
How could the senior officials of the British government who were working not secretly care about the royal family and the resurgent aristocratic class? After thinking about this, Tang Cheng finally understood why Thomas came directly to him instead of meeting Mountbatten halfway.
Tang Cheng, who had some guesses in his mind, did not ask Thomas directly. If he guessed wrong, Tang Cheng felt that he would be very embarrassed. As expected, Thomas did not mention Mountbatten again and just chatted with Tang Cheng.
The textile factory and the Germans in the textile factory. But the less Thomas wanted to mention Mountbatten, the more Tangcheng wanted to learn about Mountbatten-related things from Thomas. The two of them were like this
After chatting with each other for a long time, Thomas finally relaxed after giving Tang Cheng a sideways look.
Thomas is an old fox, and he can't tell what Tang Cheng is thinking, but the situation in India is very complicated, and Thomas really doesn't know what to say to Tang Cheng. "The latest news is that Mountbatten was bitten by the Indians.
Tight, once he lets go, the situation in India will immediately become uncontrollable. London's intention is to ask Mountbatten to delay as much time as possible to see if it can disintegrate the Indian alliance from within. But now it seems that
The situation is not ideal because the attitude of Indians is very tough."
When the word "tough" appeared at the end of Thomas's words, Tang Cheng immediately became energetic and he hurriedly spoke. "I heard that Mountbatten is not an easy talker. If the Indians push too hard, can they really fight?"
Get up? When my army passed by, it looked like they had even brought heavy artillery." What Tang Cheng has to do now is to give Thomas eye drops, hoping that Thomas will be able to calm down and say what he is interested in.
matter.
But old fox Thomas is not that easy to be fooled, not to mention that there are several British warships parked in the Indian port. As long as the Indians are not stupid, they will never dare to fight Mountbatten. It is a pity that things are unpredictable, and in Tang Dynasty
The day after Cheng met Thomas, news came from India that when Mountbatten was traveling, his convoy was attacked. The bomb that attacked Mountbatten's car was a homemade bomb. It might be a coincidence, but Mountbatten strangely changed it that day.
Take a car.
Mountbatten changed his car and was naturally not harmed. However, the bodyguard who was ordered to protect him shot and killed the attacker immediately. Although it was later found out that the attacker was indeed an Indian, but after the case was notified to the public, the Indians
Unhappy, some people actually accused Mountbatten's guards of not shooting the attackers at that time.
The fact that the car he was riding in was destroyed by a bomb, but he could not fight back, is telling. Mountbatten himself did not seem to have thought that the Indians would react like this. The Indians who directly argued with him also changed their minds.
His attitude gradually became tougher. Tang Cheng, who had been waiting for an opportunity, felt that the time he had been waiting for had come, so he immediately went to find Thomas.
