After the rain, the air in Chongqing is very fresh, but the mood in Tangcheng is not very good. Hans sent a telegram from Myanmar yesterday, saying that the screening operation against northern Myanmar is about to end. More than 6,000 armed personnel from Tangcheng have been sent to northern Myanmar, and Zhang Jianghe's military intelligence station has been deployed. Northern Burma was swept back and forth three times. Now in northern Myanmar, apart from these armed personnel and their families, only overseas Chinese families living in Myanmar are left.
Under the forceful suppression of a large number of armed personnel, all the temples in northern Myanmar have been cleared, and the local natives have been driven to build roads. The architectural experts that Professor Ma and Professor coaxed from Kunming have begun to carry out town planning for the northern Myanmar region. Only in this way, the northern Myanmar region is faced with the dilemma of lack of technical personnel, and once the commotion in northern Myanmar becomes big, it will inevitably attract the attention of both the British and domestic high-level officials.
In addition to explaining the situation, the call from Hans also required Tangcheng to continue recruiting technical personnel from various industries that northern Myanmar lacked from home. Chongqing, which was originally the capital of Chongqing, was crowded with people of all kinds who went south to escape the chaos, including many capable technical talents. But now that the war on the front has improved, most of those who temporarily stayed in Chongqing are thinking about returning. hometown. During this period, Tangcheng also tried to contact these people through various channels, but the other parties politely rejected Tangcheng's recruitment.
Tang Cheng stayed in the study in the backyard and thought about it all morning. It wasn't until Zhou Hongzhuang came to the study to ask him to finish that Tang Cheng came back from his thoughts. Zhou Hongzhuang, who saw that Tang Cheng was encountering difficulties, asked about it and offered words to persuade Tang Cheng. "When my master was still alive, he often told me that a person's energy is limited and it is impossible to do everything. Sometimes when you feel tired, you might as well put everything down and take a rest. If you feel better, a solution will naturally come to you. ”
The Tang family didn't know about Tang Cheng's ongoing plan, so Zhou Hongzhuang just wanted to persuade Tang Cheng, although her persuasion had little effect on Tang Cheng. After Tang Cheng and Zhou Hongzhuang got married, Zhou Hongzhuang stayed at home all the time, either taking care of the twin sisters at home or accompanying Tang's mother to visit friends. She lived a very comfortable life. Zhou Hongzhuang has noticed all the abnormalities in Tangcheng these days, but she has no intention of getting involved in Tangcheng's affairs.
But today, Tang Cheng had been alone in the study all morning without even taking a step out of the study. Zhou Hongzhuang, who was secretly worried, used the excuse of asking Tang Cheng to eat to come over to see what was going on. Sure enough, Zhou Hongzhuang found that Tang Cheng's expression was full of confusion. Zhou Hongzhuang couldn't hold it back, so she tried to persuade Tang Cheng. Her solution had little effect on the troubled Tang Cheng, but it also reminded Tang Cheng that the current difficulties could be solved slowly.
After having lunch with his family, Tang Cheng still stayed alone in the study room in the backyard, but now, he felt much more relaxed. Hans' side lacks technical personnel, but what northern Burma actually lacks now are ordinary people. Only in northern Burma there are more Chinese people, and the British will also throw in the towel instead of abandoning their partners afterwards. Not long after, it started to rain again outside, but Tang Cheng in the study was concentrating on writing and drawing, and he was perfecting his plan.
Hans, who was still looking around in northern Myanmar, finally received a telegram from Tang Cheng on the third day. Unfortunately, Tang Cheng only asked them to pay attention to their health and did not mention the technical personnel in the telegram. Hans also knew that there were a lot of troubles in Tangcheng, so he could only focus on building roads for the time being. With the successive victories in the Burmese war, and Zhang Jianghe's guarantee, a large number of Japanese prisoners of war were sent to build roads. The actual number of laborers under Hans' control has exceeded 10,000.
The manpower needed to build roads increased significantly, and there was a shortage of tools and rations. After receiving Hans's telegram asking for help, Tangcheng had no choice but to continue to use the gold that Ma Ye and the others had accumulated previously. Fortunately, the funds from the buddies in the city have been gradually received, which relieved the anxious Hans. Tangcheng also successfully recruited a group of students from the student training camp outside the city. The number of Chinese in northern Myanmar continued to increase. Tang Cheng's first thought was literacy. He did not want the Chinese in Myanmar to be illiterate in the future.
Tangcheng recruited more than 30 students. As a condition of recruitment, Tangcheng paid each of them a settlement fee in advance and promised that they could take their families to northern Myanmar. As long as they arrive in northern Myanmar, not only will they be provided with free accommodation, but each family will also be given a piece of land to cultivate whatever crops they want. The students recruited by Tangcheng were all from farmers, so their desire for land far outweighed the favorable conditions Tangcheng offered them.
Tang Cheng, who had a smooth start, seemed to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and good luck seemed to have returned to him. Among the workers who originally worked on farms outside the city, there are also some who want to make a career in Myanmar. They are experienced in growing vegetables and raising pigs, and they are exactly the professionals that Tangcheng needs most at the moment. For a whole month, Tangcheng sent people away from Chongqing almost every day, and their only destination was northern Myanmar, which has a large area of land.
This morning, before Tang Cheng left home, he received a call from the bureau chief, asking him to go to the military unification headquarters now. Tangcheng has not been in contact with the bureau chief these days. The reason is that the bureau chief is not in Chongqing. It is said that he went to the front line for business. When Tang Cheng suddenly received a call from the bureau chief, he immediately dared to go to the military command headquarters without thinking too much. In the bureau's office, Tang Cheng saw two unfamiliar faces, but the bureau said that these two were his own people who could be trusted 100%.
After the words "100% trust" appeared in the bureau's words, Tang Cheng knew that these two new faces must also know about the Myanmar plan. Sure enough, the next words from the bureau chief directly mentioned the Myanmar plan. "This time I went to the front line to work, and I happened to receive a group of wounded soldiers! They all have injuries on their bodies, and the time to recuperate may be a little longer, but there is really no place for them in the rear, and the daily consumption of so many people is too high. Not small!"
The bureau chief's words were just the beginning. Tang Cheng immediately understood the bureau chief's intention. It seemed that the wounded soldiers mentioned by the bureau chief were going to be placed in northern Myanmar. Tang Cheng then asked about the number of wounded soldiers. Bureau Zuo immediately stretched out his right hand and made a three sign towards Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng understood that Bureau Zuo's gesture represented three thousand people. Three thousand people are close to the size of a Category A regiment. Counting the armed personnel Tangcheng and the others have sent to northern Myanmar, the actual number of armed personnel in northern Myanmar is currently close to 10,000.
For now, it is simply impossible for an armed force of tens of thousands of people to separate one side from another. But now Myanmar is in a period of extreme chaos, which makes it easier for Tangcheng to seize chestnuts from the fire and seek greater interests. After the bureau leader paused, Tang Cheng informed the bureau leader of the current situation in northern Myanmar. The authorities learned that there are currently more than 6,000 armed personnel in northern Myanmar, and their expressions couldn't help but show disbelief.
Compared with the disbelief of the Bureau, Tang Cheng showed a wry smile, "With the few manpower in northern Myanmar, I have tried my best! That's it, there are still people in northern Myanmar every other day. A telegram came with only one content: asking me for someone, and saying that the more the better. Now every day when I open my eyes, I feel like I am carrying a huge debt, and it is also a loan shark with compound interest. It weighs me down. I almost can't breathe." Tang Cheng's words made the bureau chief chuckle, but what showed in his eyes was his satisfaction with Tang Cheng.
The Burma Plan was something that Tang Cheng had been pondering for a long time, but it was only during these three or four months that this plan really started to be implemented. In three or four months, more than 6,000 armed personnel were transported to northern Myanmar silently. Even if the bureau were to operate it by themselves, I am afraid they would be overwhelmed. In the eyes of the bureau chief, Tang Cheng is still just a young junior who has just grown up. Therefore, Tang Cheng's ability to achieve this level has greatly exceeded the bureau chief's expectations.
Excluding the expeditionary force still fighting in Myanmar, Tangcheng, with an armed force of 10,000 people, can already be regarded as the largest armed force in Myanmar. The bureau chief knows very well that even the British army that originally controlled Burma currently only has a few thousand soldiers, because all the main forces of the British army have been transferred back to the mainland. The situation just reported by Tang Cheng also reminded the bureau that the main force of the British army left Burma, which happened to be the best time for Burma to take advantage of the situation.
Bureau Zuo, who was not in a good mood at first, now feels that the stone weighing on his heart seems to be a lot lighter. With less pressure on his heart, Bureau Zuo's expression seems to be much more relaxed. Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the reaction of the bureau chief, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. As soon as he entered the door, he felt that something was not right about the bureau chief's mood. Things in Myanmar were not complicated, but very cumbersome. Tang Cheng only reported the general situation. Unexpectedly, it made the bureau chief feel a lot better.
It was already an hour before Tang Cheng left the military command headquarters. The two new faces in the bureau office would rush to the military command intelligence station in northern Myanmar in three days. One of them will serve as Zhang Jianghe's deputy, and the other will be Zhang Jianghe's operations captain, and both of them are familiar with Zhang Jianghe. Tang Cheng doesn't have extra time to care about this now. He still has to use various channels and relationships to recruit the technical personnel Hans needs.
As time goes by, the missing manpower and equipment in northern Myanmar are also being improved bit by bit. But what Tangcheng didn't know was that the influx of large numbers of armed men had changed northern Myanmar drastically. In the past, those local people who had helped the Japanese army persecute the expeditionary force were found one after another in the mountains and forests, and then were escorted to public enemies for road construction, becoming one of the many road construction workers. In northern Myanmar, the number of local people is declining sharply.
