Tangcheng had been waiting for more than half a month. Just when everyone thought that Tangcheng's plan might be in vain, news suddenly came from Japan that the Filipinos were in private contact with some American politicians.
The person who delivered this news in Tangcheng was a second-generation friend in the Logistics Department of the US Army in the Pacific. This guy made a lot of money from Tangcheng, and he became a good friend after going back and forth. The reason why this news came from Japan
, that’s because Filipinos are trying to contact American politicians through MacArthur.
MacArthur is not only the Emperor of Japan, he also has a good reputation in the Philippines, so it is very possible for the Filipinos to ask him for help. "Yamashita treasure? You mean, the Filipinos found the treasure buried by Yamashita Fengwen?"
The director who was with Tang Cheng didn't realize at first why this news was revealed by the logistics personnel of the US military in the Pacific, but what Tang Cheng said next surprised him. After all, this was the treasure under the mountain that was making a lot of noise.
Tang Cheng grinned when he heard this, and then nodded to the director, "Yes, it's the treasure at the foot of the mountain! If the Filipinos hadn't found the treasure at the foot of the mountain, how could they dare to ask MacArthur for help! In fact, the treasure at the foot of the mountain is not that mysterious. At the time, I
When Hans and I were still in Japan, we happened to find some clues related to the Yamashita treasure!" As he spoke, Tang Cheng took out a few photos and handed them to the bureau. The bureau took the photos and found out what was on them.
, are all scenes of Tang Cheng and Hans in a cave.
"We teamed up with some second-generation officers of the US Pacific Army and quietly went to the Philippines. MacArthur happened to leave the Philippines and return to the United States at that time. We used the Marine Corps of the US Pacific Army to wander around the Philippines for half a month. As a result,
We only found traces of a half-empty treasure. Later we learned that when MacArthur returned to the United States, he directly commandeered a military transport plane. Think about how much luggage MacArthur had, and he needed to commandeer one.
Transport plane back home?”
"When India had a mutiny last year and wanted to become independent, I heard from the Chinese from the Philippines that those Filipino monkeys seemed to want to become independent as well. Maybe they felt that the Americans were focusing their energy on Japan.
They are also a little bit ready to make a move. These second-generation officers in the logistics of the US military in the Pacific are not very capable, but their ability to inquire about information is not bad. I guess that the Filipinos asked MacArthur for help, it must be for the independence of the Philippines. The Indians are
Give them a good start!”
The bureau chief only half-believes it now
He said suspiciously, "You mean that the Filipinos have found the Yamashita treasure again, and then want to use these things to make deals with the Americans and gain the opportunity for Philippine independence?" Although the bureau leader did not know how big the Yamashita treasure was,
The scale of the country, but he knew that no matter how many treasures there were, they could not be compared to that of a country. As soon as the words from the bureau were finished, Tang Cheng nodded, because he had already remembered that the time when the Philippines became independent happened to be
July of this year.
Although it is only May, it is not unreasonable for the Filipinos to lobby the top leaders of the United States two months in advance. Such a big thing must be done in advance. What's more, the situation in India, which is currently the most fierce for independence, is complicated, and the Philippines seems to be
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and borrow the east wind of India. Tang Cheng, who had already ordered Fang Shengli to prepare for an attack, was secretly laughing in his heart and said to himself, "I also want to borrow the east wind of India."
Bundle.
After Tang Cheng discussed with the bureau chief, he immediately notified Thomas in India of the news by telegram. Sure enough, Thomas' reaction was just as Tang Cheng expected, and he immediately called Tang Cheng.
Reply. Just like Tang Cheng thought before, Thomas also saw at a glance that the Filipinos wanted to take advantage of the Indians to cause trouble. Once the US government is successfully lobbied, the independence of the Philippines will definitely make the situation in India even worse.
The chaos is becoming increasingly detrimental to Britain.
It stands to reason that Thomas will only protect the face of the British royal family. As for the British government that has always been against the aristocracy, Thomas can completely ignore it. But at this moment, Thomas has realized that if the British government becomes passive on the issue of Indian independence,
The British royal family and the entire aristocratic class were also deeply embarrassed. However, the Philippines has always been within the scope of the United States' influence. Even if Thomas wanted to prevent Filipinos from contacting MacArthur, he could not find a suitable reason or opportunity.
"This won't work, that won't work, then the only way is to use force to deter! As long as the Indian army can be completely suppressed by force, the Indians will become trash who can only talk nonsense! How can they fight against them without the backing of force?
Those garrisons under Mountbatten? Do they rely on stones and cow dung?" Tang Cheng took a transport ship and quietly arrived in Bombay, where he finally
Yu met Thomas who had lost a lot of weight.
Tang Cheng's suggestion of using force to suppress it did not win Thomas's approval because he was worried that doing so would force the Indians to make more extreme choices. Upon seeing this, Tang Cheng said to Thomas angrily, "Britain is called
The reason for building an empire where the sun never sets is not because of gentle tactics, but because of strong ships and powerful cannons! If the original Indians hadn't been frightened by your cannons, how could this place have been ruled by you for so many years!"
Tang Cheng's words, which were half reminder and half ridicule, made Thomas glare at Tang Cheng, but he knew in his heart that Tang Cheng's suggestion might be the best way to deal with it at the moment. Thomas was nominally a special envoy sent by the royal family, but
He did not have the right to command the British troops stationed in India, so Thomas still needed to discuss the suggestion given by Tang Cheng with Mountbatten, the Governor-General of India. Tang Cheng stayed in Bombay for three days. During these three days,
The situation in India is also deteriorating further, and the British government is running out of time.
Tangcheng didn’t know that during these three days, Thomas not only had to persuade Mountbatten, but also lobbied the commanders of the British troops stationed in India, because Tangcheng’s proposal could not be separated from the support of the army. Until the fourth
At noon that day, in the delicious and fun Tangcheng in Mumbai, I finally met Thomas who looked tired. "Mountbatten is a stubborn guy, I couldn't convince him!" The news Thomas brought made Tangcheng frown slightly.
Obviously not good news.
But Thomas immediately changed the topic, "There is no other way. I can only report this matter to the royal family. And on the British Army in India, I have already persuaded several high-level commanders. Once the royal family has
Determined, these senior military officials will act in accordance with the royal family's instructions." Thomas did not reveal to Tangcheng how many senior British military officials he had successfully lobbied, but Tangcheng looked at Thomas' expression when he spoke, and it did not seem like he was
Deceive yourself.
"That's okay!" Tang Cheng nodded after hearing this, "As long as the British army in India can support you, it shouldn't be difficult for the Indians! But you'd better consider my previous plan. If the army ends up, it still won't make the Indians
It may be a good choice to back off and provoke the Dongba people to cause trouble or even break away from India's control." Tang Cheng finally mentioned his plan. Seeing that Thomas did not want to continue this topic with him, Tang Cheng asked Mountbatten again
Countermeasures.<
br>
"What can he do? He doesn't even dare to go out now because he is worried that he will be attacked again! If Downing Street doesn't express its position, I think Mountbatten will be unable to get out. He is delaying it as much as possible.
Time, as for other things, he doesn't consider at all." Thomas seemed to be very dissatisfied with Mountbatten's slow attitude, but he severely despised Mountbatten in front of Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng did not choose to agree with Thomas, because
After all, he had never met Mountbatten, and he didn't know whether Mountbatten did this on purpose.
The situation in India is still chaotic and confusing, but the Philippines is making rapid progress. The second-generation officials who have passed through the logistics of the US military in the Pacific have returned to Tangcheng in Myanmar and received news one after another. The situation is indeed as Tangcheng expected before.
The Filipinos were very generous this time and immediately took out the locations of two treasures at the foot of the mountain. MacArthur had already dispatched the Marine Corps to the Philippines urgently and immediately took over the defense of those two locations.
After Tang Cheng carefully considered the situation in the Philippines, he suddenly made a discovery. It turned out that the situation in the Philippines was different from that in India. The main force in India's fight for independence was political parties, but in the Philippines it was local family forces. Such local family forces were destined to
There is no political appeal, so it is easier to control. The main body of Indian independence is political power. Once India succeeds in independence, the powerful political factions may completely wipe out the British influence here in the shortest possible time.
.
Losing influence over overseas deaths may be the last result that the British government wants to see. Therefore, they would rather let Mountbatten continue to delay, but also find a solution to the problem. But unfortunately, those in India
Mountbatten indeed tried to delay as much time as possible, but the politicians in Downing Street have yet to find a way. The current situation makes Tangcheng just want to laugh, because there is really not much time left for Britain.
Tangcheng knew that the British would definitely verify that the Philippines wanted independence. After they were verified, they didn’t know how anxious they would be! Two days later, the situation in India changed again, because the Indian National Congress Party
With the sudden rise of the army, the chaotic situation in India has been alleviated, and the attitude of the British government has also softened. "These damn politicians!" The changes in the situation in India made Tangcheng realize that the British government must have had some kind of private negotiation with the Indian National Congress Party.
