Chapter 474 While the operation is in progress (7)
"This is impossible! The U.S. government will not agree to sell weapons to the Nationalist government!" Tangcheng just started, and Edmund immediately reacted. "There are always people at the top of the U.S. government who are willing to speak for the Japanese.
, otherwise why would so much so-called scrap steel be shipped to Japan? Moreover, the U.S. government has no plans to export weapons. The isolationist faction they pursue is worried that this will draw the war to the United States."
It was only at this moment that Edmund finally understood Tang Cheng's intentions. However, his words just now were not intended to refute Tang Cheng. In fact, this is the current attitude of the US government. "Edmund, these are the things I want to say.
Everyone knows that this is Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient, and all kinds of news are passed on in private. But I personally think that the attitude of the US government is not important, what is important is the attitude of the American Jewish community."
The influence of American Jewish groups in this era is not as powerful as that after World War II, but it cannot be ignored that the current Jewish groups in the United States have shown a certain strength and influence. When Tang Cheng mentioned the American Jewish groups, Edmund
A trace of confusion appeared on the faces of the three of them. They didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant. "I think you are just fans of the authorities. Are the Jewish groups in the United States considered Americans? Since they are Americans, they must be engaged in the military industry."
Wouldn’t it violate the U.S. Constitution?”
“When I talk about using weapons and equipment to cooperate with the Nationalist Government, I don’t need the latest weapons and equipment from the United States, nor do I need aircraft or artillery. I only need infantry equipment, such as rifles, pistols, grenades, explosives, light and heavy machine guns, and mortars.
Such infantry weapons and equipment are ordinary infantry weapons and equipment that can be produced by any arsenal." Tang Cheng tapped his fingers on the table with a smile on his face.
"In the southwest of China, Yunnan to be precise, people there have built a road connecting Burma to Kunming, Yunnan. If you can cooperate with the National Government, your compatriots in the Far East can go south to Burma by sea.
, and then go directly to Yunnan through the Burma Highway. Yunnan is located in the southwest, and there are too many mountains and jungles there. No matter how powerful the Japanese army is, they will not be able to attack Yunnan."
While Tang Cheng was talking, he had dipped his fingers in coffee and drew a rough map of China on the table. He also thoughtfully marked the location of Yunnan on the map. "The Japanese have not yet reached into South Asia.
, so this Yunnan-Burma Highway is relatively safe. If even this Yunnan-Burma Highway is cut off, you may have to go to Yunnan if you want to
It won't be as easy as it is now, at least it won't be possible for a large number of people to go south." Tangcheng did not all use lies to deceive Edmund and others, at least the incident on the Burma Highway was true.
Tang Cheng's words made the three Edmunds look heavy. Tang Cheng's suggestion sounded like a fantasy, but if you think about it carefully, it seemed to make sense. At least they knew where Yunnan was.
Seeing the three Edmunds looking at each other, Tang Cheng stopped talking, just lit a cigarette and smoked silently, but he kept paying attention to the three Edmunds from the corner of his eyes. "I'll listen to your suggestion.
It makes sense, but none of the three of us have the authority to agree to your suggestion, and besides, we don’t know how to contact the Nationalist Government."
After Edmund and the three looked at each other for a while, they finally gave Tang Cheng something to say. When Edmund spoke, he looked very sincere, but Tang Cheng secretly laughed in his heart. What does it mean to not know how to contact the National Government?
?You don’t want to test yourself! “Since you can’t make a decision, why not find a way to ask your superiors for instructions first? After you have made a decision, you can tell me at any time.” Tang Cheng lowered his head and glanced at his watch.
It was time to meet with Boss Yu. Tang Cheng immediately stood up, whispered an explanation, and left the cafe without looking back. Tang Cheng left, but Edmund and the other three remained seated without moving.
, pondered for a while, and then Edmund slowly spoke.
"Dike, you haven't spoken. What do you think of the suggestion he just made?" What Edmund turned to look at at this moment was the other foreign young man. Compared with George, who was bold and reckless by nature, Deck was just like him.
He seems much older, but in fact, Dyke, who just graduated from West Point Military Academy, is one year younger than George. Like George, this is not the first time that Dyke has come to China. He has his own understanding of China and Chinese people.
insights.
"The suggestion he just made, I personally think is very practical, but it still requires a lot of preliminary preparations. But now my interest in that person has exceeded the suggestion he made. According to my observation just now, this
He is definitely not a simple person. He draws his gun very quickly, so he should be a long-time gun user, but looking at his age, he seems to be not older than George and I, which is very strange.
It’s strange, and it’s also what confuses me.”
Deke's answer sounded a bit unreasonable. Fortunately, Edmund and George had long been accustomed to his temperament. Tangcheng, who had already left the cafe, had not actually gone far, and there was still some time before meeting with Boss Yu.
, Tang Cheng planned to follow Edmund and the others secretly, and it would be best to find the whereabouts of the two foreign youths. Like Deke, Tang Cheng also realized that the silent Deke was not an ordinary person.
Time passed little by little, and the three Edmunds still didn't come out of the cafe. Seeing that the time to meet with Boss Yu was coming soon, Tang Cheng, who was impatient, could only leave the street first. "You have always been
You will arrive early, why are you five minutes late today!" In the warehouse of the tea house, Boss Yu, who was always vigilant, handed a telegram to Tang Cheng. "This is the telegram from the headquarters that I just received.
I neither agree nor oppose the action to rescue the Lone Army Camp. In short, this rescue action is your personal behavior. If you do well, you will not be rewarded. If you do wrong, there will be punishment." Boss Yu's expression showed
It didn't look good, but it was mainly caused by the telegram from the headquarters. Such a big action was attributed to Tang Cheng's personal behavior. He didn't know what the headquarters was thinking.
Tang Cheng took the telegram and read it carefully, and then comforted Boss Yu, "Uncle Yu, this is nothing. If it were me, I would probably have the same attitude. During the Battle of Shanghai, the Intelligence Department formed two teams to participate in the war.
The troops all suffered heavy casualties, and Virgo was often scolded in front of the Chairman. The operation to rescue the lone army camp would probably have a great impact afterwards. If the operation failed, the British and the Japanese would definitely make a fuss about it. The Intelligence Department
I can’t stand the trouble anymore.”
"So you kid never wanted to have anything to do with the Intelligence Department from the beginning! No wonder you refused Shanghai Station to participate in the operation!" Boss Yu was not ignorant. After hearing what Tang Cheng said, he immediately understood. But Boss Yu
The worry in my heart became a little more, "But you still have to think carefully about this matter. If there is any oversight in the rescue operation of the Lone Army Camp, the headquarters will use you to take the blame."
"Uncle Yu, it's too late for you to say this now." Tang Cheng grinned, "All the preliminary preparations have been almost completed. Mrs. Xie also brought her children to Shanghai, and went to Gujun Camp many times to meet Xie
Sir, if the rescue operation is terminated at this time, then we
All the preparations made in the early stage have been in vain. Especially Commander Xie, I am afraid that Mrs. Xie has persuaded me. If we terminate the rescue operation, what will Commander Xie do?"
"Yes! Xie Jinyuan is very accepting of death. If we terminate the rescue operation, Xie Jinyuan will probably think that the government has decided to abandon the lone camp. If it were me, I would think so too!" Boss Yu stretched out his hand.
Rubbing his chin, he had been convinced by Tang Cheng that the rescue operation could not be stopped at this time unless the more than 300 soldiers of the entire Lone Army Camp were really abandoned.
"I have contacted the people from the Korean National Salvation Army, and I will provide them with some help. They will cause trouble in the Japanese-controlled areas and create riots to help us divert the attention of the Japanese army and T&T High Technology in Shanghai. I will provide them with the Korean National Salvation Army."
The weapons are the weapons I brought back from the New Asia Hotel last time. They will completely disrupt the sight of Shanghai T&G. As long as we add a little more fire, T&G will even think that what happened at the New Asia Hotel is about North Korea saving the country.
Made by the military."
The address of the Korean National Salvation Army in Shanghai was provided by Boss Yu, but he did not expect that Tang Cheng would actually take the risk to contact the people of the Korean National Salvation Army and include them in the rescue plan. "Those people of the Korean National Salvation Army"
Can it be done?" Boss Yu has never met anyone from the Korean National Salvation Army, so he is naturally suspicious of the abilities of those people. The Korean National Salvation Army in Shanghai is best at attacking Koreans living in Shanghai.
Fundraising for national salvation.
"Whether they can do it or not has little to do with our rescue operation, because I don't expect them to do much in the Japanese-controlled areas." Tang Cheng smiled happily, just like Boss Yu.
Tang Cheng didn't have high hopes for the Korean National Salvation Army. If he hadn't needed someone to divert the attention of the Japanese army and T&G in Shanghai, he wouldn't have rushed over to meet with the Korean National Salvation Army.
"I will accompany Mrs.
, if I don't come back tomorrow, you can leave Shanghai with these things and go to Chongqing to find Zhang Jiang and the stationmaster." Before Tang Cheng left the tea house, he gave Boss Yu an address, which was his escape route prepared in advance.
