The action team often sold the property they seized to external parties, and the person who came forward to buy these things was indeed a powerful Paoge leader in the city. Afterwards, Zhang Jianghe also took the initiative to report the matter to the bureau, so the bureau did not suspect it. Tangcheng and Zhangjianghe. The Zhongtong, who had suffered continuous losses, still seemed to be unable to swallow the bad breath, but no matter how they searched and inquired, they still had no clue about the missing materials and the attack.
The originally arrogant Zhongtong seemed to have turned into a joke. Many people in the city were watching Zhongtong's excitement and wondering whether they had any follow-up methods. But more people are speculating whether there will be other troubles in Zhongtong, such as losing bigger people. There are not a few people who have this kind of mentality, so what they discussed in private quickly spread to the ears of the senior officials of Zhongtong. Zhongtong knew that he had many enemies, so even though their anger was already rising to the top of their heads, they still tolerated it.
"What can they do if they can't bear it!" In the farm outside the garrison city, Tang Cheng stood behind the barbecue grill, brushing the mutton on the iron with honey. Deputy commanders Hans and Huang were holding beers and waiting for what was about to happen. Grilled meat skewers. "Although the people of Zhongtong are a little weak in mobility, they are not fools! The current situation is obviously not good for them, and if they want to cause trouble, they will definitely not offend one or two people! Therefore, they can only endure it!" Tang Cheng spoke calmly while turning the iron drill.
Because of Tangcheng, Hans now always follows him outside the city to attend such gatherings. Hans, who has good communication skills, is now very familiar with the officers of the garrison. As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Hans took over and said, "I think the Zhongtong seems to be holding back something evil! You just said that they are not fools, and the Zhongtong is used to being domineering, so he suddenly became honest. Come down, something is wrong!" Hans's words immediately attracted the support of Deputy Commander Huang, and this was what they were most worried about.
Tang Cheng grinned and said, "Don't worry, the Central President will be very honest these days! The news I just got is that the war in Burma seems to be going well, and the Chairman is planning to invite the American General Stilwell to Chongqing as a guest! During this period of time, the Chairman hopes that Chongqing will be peaceful and peaceful. If the Central Military Commission wants to stir up trouble and cause trouble, the Chairman will not let them go." Strictly speaking, the Chairman invited American generals to visit Chongqing. It was considered a secret, and Tang Cheng only knew the news accidentally.
Deputy Captain Huang became energetic because of the news. Before, they were worried that the Central Government would jump over the wall and attack them without asking anything. If the news revealed by Tang Cheng is true, at least they won't have to worry about the Central Government for a long time. Seeing that Deputy Captain Huang was excited but still worried, Tang Cheng handed a meat skewer to the other party, and then spoke in a calm tone. "Old Huang, as I said just now, you don't have to worry about the Zhongtong side! They have no evidence in their hands. If they are just playing the trick of beating them, then the guns in your hands are all fire sticks!"
Seeing that Deputy Commander Huang didn't seem to understand what he meant, Tang Cheng could only continue, "Although your garrison regiment is of greater significance than its actual role, don't forget that you are registered with the Ministry of Military Affairs. , is the unit number recognized by the Chairman. No matter how domineering the Central Commander-in-Chief is, they will not be able to beat you without asking any questions. If a mutiny in the garrison is triggered because of their special targeting or false accusations and threats, they will be the only ones who suffer in the end."
Tangcheng was handing it over to the officers of the garrison to prepare countermeasures. After hearing this, Deputy Commander Huang was relieved. They had done many things to muddy the waters in the past. After the party, on the way home, Hans asked Tang Cheng why he was so interested in the garrison. Tang Cheng then told the story of joining forces with the garrison to rob Zhongtong's supplies. Hans also exclaimed again and again when he heard this. The uproar in the city was actually done by Tangcheng and the garrison.
"Originally, I didn't want to make the matter so big. I just couldn't swallow the bad breath last time and wanted to teach Zhongtong a lesson. But I didn't expect that there were more than 30 people in the batch of supplies from Zhongtong. Kilograms of gold. These guys in the garrison are also money-minded. How could they turn a blind eye to the gold that was delivered to them. So, what happened next was that the trucks and personnel used by the Central Command to transport supplies were destroyed. It was sunk directly into the river by the garrison."
Hans was very satisfied with Tang Cheng's telling the truth, because he knew that when Tang Cheng told him the truth, he really treated him as one of his own. "A whole six trucks of supplies are now hidden in the garrison's farm outside the city. As long as these items remain hidden like this, the Central Command will not be able to find any clues. When military aid supplies appear in large quantities on the black market , when this batch of supplies was released, I believe that by then, the Central Military Commission would have almost forgotten about it."
Tang Cheng will always be more confident than Hans about future events. Once the war in Burma is won, there will be a full-scale counterattack on the domestic battlefield, and the Central Government will have more things to pay attention to. As expected by Tang Cheng, almost every day, good news came back to Chongqing from the Burmese battlefield. The Burmese Expeditionary Force, equipped with new weapons and equipment, was far beyond what the Burmese Japanese army could contend with. The director's mood is also very good these days, because the military commander's intelligence station in the enemy-occupied area has also successively sent back a lot of valuable intelligence.
The more things like this happen, the more Tangcheng appears to be doing nothing. The business of shops in the city has improved, and coupled with the bumper harvest on the farms outside the city, the action team currently has no shortage of activity funds and personnel expenses. However, at the unanimous request of the team members and faced with the resurgence of the tobacco and soot business in Chongqing, Tangcheng consulted with the bureau and decided to launch a comprehensive crackdown on the tobacco and soot business in the city in the near future. Due to the impact of the war in Myanmar, opium merchants in India increased their export of opium to China.
These Indian opium merchants believed that the training camp of the Burmese Expeditionary Force was built in India, so China and India became a natural alliance. Since it is already an alliance, the opium that previously required caravans to be transported across the border can enter China openly. Under this circumstance, more and more Indian cigarettes entered Chongqing. Although most of them went to Shanghai, there were also many more opium dens in Chongqing.
The Nationalist Government advocates a ban on smoking, but there are policies and countermeasures. Many people in the government privately use their powers to support agents who resell cigarettes on the black market for profit. For example, the military command headquarters has its own channels to smuggle cigarettes and soil to Shanghai in exchange for funds. But these actions can only be carried out in private and cannot be discussed on the table. What Tangcheng wants to target now are only the newly opened opium dens in the city, so in a sense, Tangcheng has not harmed the interests of the military commander.
It is precisely because of this that the Bureau did not stop Tang Cheng, but showed support for Tang Cheng. However, as a price for support, half of the smoke collected by the action team must be handed over to the military command headquarters free of charge. Tang Cheng, who was well aware of the profits from tobacco, had no objection to this and agreed immediately. This time, Tangcheng did not plan to recruit the garrison, because the garrison needed to keep a low profile during this period to avoid being targeted by the Central Commander again.
During a week of preliminary preparations, Tang Cheng released all members of the action team, including the logistics team that had always been reclusive in the backyard of the military camp. They will conduct detailed investigations and checks on all opium dens and opium dealers in the city based on the information currently available to the action team. For a whole week, only the 12 members of the capture team were left in the military camp, as well as Tang Cheng, Zhang Jiang, and their uncle and nephew.
When Tang Cheng decided to take action against the opium den in the city, he had informed Zhang Jianghe in advance. It was only at Zhang Jianghe's suggestion that Tang Cheng took the initiative to seek advice from the bureau chief. Therefore, during this week, Tang Cheng accompanied Zhang Jianghe and experienced the leisure life of playing mahjong in the morning and continuing to play mahjong in the afternoon. After playing mahjong for three days in a row, Tang Cheng couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only drag Hans, who was also doing nothing, to play tennis in the open yard of the military camp.
The situation in the war in Myanmar has not yet become clear, so Hans can only stay at home. Tang Cheng once suggested that Hans could be a black market agent for the action team, but Hans refused because he could not see it. Black market business on the up team. This time, Hans also chose not to participate in the operation of opium dens in the city. Hans, who was determined to be a rich man, felt that engaging in opium business would damage his image and reputation. However, Hans didn't have any objection to being Tang Cheng's companion.
Within a week, the members of the action team used their respective news channels and information collected from shops in the city to confirm the information about all the opium dens in the city one by one. Except for some cigarette and soil dealers with strong backing, most of the cigarette and soil dealers in Chongqing are also on the list. Everything is ready, and now they are just waiting for an order from Tang Cheng. The eager members of the action team are ready to make another shocking wave in the city of Chongqing.
Tang Cheng did not make a prompt decision as usual this time, but asked the bureau chief for instructions first. Because of Zhang Jianghe's reminder, Tang Cheng became more and more aware of the importance of taking the initiative to ask for instructions from his superiors. Although Tangcheng is not a member of the military command, the action team is officially under the military command headquarters. For such a large-scale operation involving the entire city, it is necessary to ask the bureau for instructions. Less than half an hour after Tang Cheng hung up the phone, three accountants were sent from the military command headquarters. The task of the three of them was to carefully count the exact amount of tobacco collected by the action team after the action team launched its operation.
