"This is impossible! The American government will not agree to sell weapons to the national government!" Tangcheng's side just started, and Edmund immediately reacted. "There are always people among the top leaders 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 it will Therefore, the war is directed towards 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, I know all this. This is Shanghai, the Pearl of the Orient. All kinds of news are passed on in private. But I personally think that the attitude of the American 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 it was after World War II, but it cannot be ignored that the current Jewish groups in the United States have shown a certain degree of strength and influence. When Tang Cheng mentioned the American Jewish group, the three Edmonds showed a hint of confusion on their faces. They didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant. "I think you are just fans of the authorities. Are Jewish groups in the United States considered Americans? Since they are Americans, their military industry operations must not violate the U.S. Constitution, right?"
"When I talk about using weapons and equipment to cooperate with the National People's Government, I don't need the latest weapons and equipment in the United States, nor aircraft and artillery. It's just infantry equipment, such as rifles, pistols, rifles, **, light and heavy machine guns and Infantry weapons and equipment such as mortars 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 Myanmar to Kunming, Yunnan. If you can cooperate with the Kuomintang, your compatriots in the Far East can go south by sea. Myanmar, and then directly to Yunnan via 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 reach 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 extended their hands into South Asia, so this Burma Road is relatively safe. If even this Burma Road is cut off, I'm afraid it won't be as easy as it is now if you want to go to Yunnan, at least with a large number of people It is impossible to go south." Tangcheng did not all use lies to deceive Edmund and others, at least the matter about the Burma Highway was true.
Tang Cheng's words made the three Edmunds look heavy. Tang Cheng's suggestion sounded like 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 and just lit a cigarette and smoked silently, but he kept paying attention to the three Edmunds from the corner of his eye. "Your suggestion sounds reasonable, but none of the three of us have the authority to agree to your suggestion. Besides, we don't know how to contact the National Security Agency."
After the three Edmunds 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 Police? 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? When you make a decision, you can tell me at any time." Tang Cheng lowered his head and glanced at his watch. It was almost time to meet with Boss Yu. Tang Cheng immediately stood up, whispered an explanation, and left the cafe without looking back. After Tang Cheng left, Edmund and the other three were still sitting in their original positions without moving. They pondered for a while before Edmund slowly spoke.
"Dike, you haven't said anything. What do you think of his suggestion just now?" 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, Dyke was just like him. He seems much older, but in fact, Decker, 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 opinions on China and the Chinese people.
"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 drew his gun very quickly, so he must have been using guns for a long time, but looking at his age, he seemed to be younger than George and I. This was very strange, and it also confused me."
Deke's answer sounded a little unreasonable. Fortunately, Edmund and George had long been accustomed to his temper. Tang Cheng, who had left the cafe, had not actually gone far. There was still some time before meeting with Boss Yu, so Tang Cheng planned to follow Edmund and the others secretly. It would be best to find the whereabouts of the two foreign youths and Deke. Likewise, Tang Cheng also saw 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 always arrive early, why are you five minutes late today!" In the teahouse's warehouse, the ever-vigilant Boss Yu handed a telegram to Tang Cheng. "This is the telegram from the headquarters that I just received. The headquarters does not approve or object to the rescue of the lone army camp. In short, this rescue operation is considered your personal behavior. If you do well, there will be no reward. If you do wrong, There will definitely be punishment." Boss Yu's face didn't look good. He was mainly troubled by the telegram from the headquarters. Such a big action was actually attributed to Tang Cheng's personal behavior. He didn't even know that the headquarters What do you think?
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 reprimanded 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 the worry in Boss Yu's heart is 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 we terminate the rescue operation at this time, all the preparations we have made in the early stage will be in vain. Especially Chief Xie, I am afraid that Mrs. Xie has already persuaded me. If we terminate the rescue operation, then Chief Xie will What to do over there?”
"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 the same!" 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 and create turmoil in the Japanese-controlled areas to help us divert the attention of the Japanese army and T&G 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 take the risk to contact the Korean National Salvation Army people and include them in the rescue plan. "Can those people from the Korean National Salvation Army do it?" Boss Yu has never seen anyone from the Korean National Salvation Army, so he is naturally suspicious of the abilities of those people. Compared with the Korean National Salvation Army in Shanghai, the best thing is Xiang Qiaoju. Koreans in Shanghai raise funds 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. Tangcheng did not have high hopes for those in 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 those from 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.
