Seeing the change in Xu Huanshan's expression, Tang Cheng knew that the advice he had just given had obviously impressed him. Tang Cheng, who planned to strike while the iron was hot, continued, "Old Xu, don't say I didn't take care of my old friend! We plan to build farms in the plains of northern Myanmar and implement a mechanized large-scale planting model! But Myanmar is still at war, and agriculture It will be impossible to obtain the machinery for planting from the outside world for a while. Therefore, we plan to modify the small tanks captured by the Japanese army. If your technicians arrive quickly enough, they may be able to participate."
Japanese small tank? Do you want to modify the tank? The sensitive words and phrases in Tangcheng's words immediately attracted Xu Huanshan's attention. Facing Xu Huanshan's face full of questions, Tang Cheng, who felt secretly happy, tried his best to restrain his expression and spoke in a deep voice. "Yes, we are preparing to convert the small tanks captured from the Japanese army into agricultural machinery for agricultural planting and cultivation. Anyway, those large foreign farms also use crawler agricultural machinery, which is almost the same as tanks."
Although the small tanks of the Japanese army are thin and not very powerful, they are still tanks after all! Looking at Tang Cheng's face that he didn't take the Japanese tank seriously, Xu Huanshan suddenly felt that the guy in front of him was so in need of a beating. It was a pity that he couldn't beat this kid. How could Xu Huanshan's tangled expression escape Tang Cheng's eyes, but he just suppressed a smile in his heart and continued to stimulate Xu Huanshan with words. Knowing that there were radio stations and infantry artillery seized from the Japanese army in northern Myanmar, Xu Huanshan became even more interested, and Tang Cheng felt very proud of them.
All in all, the advantages of Yan'an's sending personnel to northern Myanmar outweigh the disadvantages. Not only can they have close contact with American weapons and equipment in northern Myanmar, but they can also get radio stations and infantry guns from Tangcheng. After thinking about it secretly, Xu Huanshan immediately told his people and sent a telegram to Yan'an. In fact, Tangcheng never thought that Yan'an would respond immediately. After all, Hans would have to stay a while longer before leaving when he returned to Chongqing.
Starting from the second day after Hans returned to Chongqing, Deputy Commander Huang and a group of robe buddies in the city came to visit one after another. They all wanted to know the specific situation in northern Myanmar. Hans was really brave this time. In the study room in the backyard of the Tang family, Hans informed everyone of the current situation in northern Myanmar. Knowing that their investment was not in vain, the brothers who were pulled aboard by Tang Cheng were secretly happy. Only Deputy Captain Huang looked a little worried.
Tang Cheng had the best relationship with Deputy Commander Huang. Tang Cheng noticed that the other party was in a bad mood, so he quietly called Deputy Commander Huang out of the study and asked why. "Brother, I'm not afraid of you knowing!" Deputy Captain Huang whispered a little embarrassedly. "I heard that the national army will be reorganized soon, and it seems that miscellaneous troops like ours are also in the process of reorganization. I have been asking people everywhere in the past two days, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has not yet come up with a strategy, but I heard that He said that this reorganization was that person’s idea and I’m afraid it can’t be changed!”
When the word "that" appeared in Deputy Commander Huang's words, Tang Cheng saw that Deputy Commander Huang was clearly indicating the direction of the South Bank Villa, and he immediately understood. He took out a cigarette and handed one to Deputy Commander Huang. Tang Cheng also lit a cigarette for himself before speaking. "I've also heard about what you're talking about! But what I heard is that in a miscellaneous army like yours, the personnel will be disrupted and then dispersed into other armies."
"Furthermore, I also know that this matter was first suggested by the Central Unification Committee, and later the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs agreed to it for some reason! But I also heard that the military chief of a miscellaneous army like you, You can choose to follow the arrangements above or apply for retirement. So, let me tell you, you don’t have to worry at all. In the worst case, you can just apply for retirement when the time comes!" Tang Cheng’s view on this matter is very simple, but to the ears of Deputy Commander Huang , but it has a different meaning.
Deputy Commander Huang just smiled bitterly when he heard this, "It's easy for you to say! Do you think everyone is your kid? Not only is there support from the Bureau behind him, but he also has a relationship with the chairman's wife at home! We useless old bones, It has taken us half a lifetime to earn this reputation. If the garrison is disbanded today, believe it or not, someone will come to our door tomorrow and want to divide our territory! Besides, we were on the side of the Liu family in the first place. Can that little guy let us go?"
The bitterness on Deputy Leader Huang's face was clearly visible to Tang Cheng. He couldn't help but frown, thought about it secretly, and then gave Deputy Leader Huang a suggestion. "Old Huang, we are our own people. If I say something, if you think it works, just listen to it. If it doesn't work, just pretend that I didn't say it. If I were you, I would quietly put down everything in my hand right now. If you go out and exchange money, as long as you see that the situation is not right, you can just take your family and trusted subordinates and go directly to northern Myanmar."
"The person you are talking about may have more important things to deal with now. People who are small characters like you may not have time to pay attention at all. When we get to northern Myanmar, change our name and get fatter. Who will know the former Deputy Huang by then? Where is the leader!" This suggestion given by Tang Cheng was half truthful and half false. In fact, Tang Cheng was also worried. Deputy Captain Huang's performance just now was just to test himself, so he had to retain the necessary vigilance.
Seeing the excited expression on Deputy Commander Huang's face, Tang Cheng knew that what he just said was heard by the other party. "Old Huang, don't say I didn't remind you! Since you can find out about this matter, you should also have channels to find out other important matters in the government. As the old saying goes! Every big event must have signs! There are big changes in the government. When something happens, there must be signs in advance! If you can't make up your mind, it's best to keep an eye on the person who helps you get the news. As long as you can get the news earlier than others, there will definitely be a solution."
After being released by Tang Cheng, Deputy Commander Huang felt much better, but the fear that had been suppressing his heart had not dissipated. That night, when Tang Cheng went to see Xu Huanshan again, he informed Xu Huanshan about Deputy Captain Huang. "The national army is about to be reorganized. The main reason is the sharp performance of the expeditionary force. Coupled with the lobbying of the Americans and the help of the Central Government, the man in the South Bank Villa wants to use this opportunity to gather military power. By the way, Integrate local troops to form an artillery force."
The performance of the expeditionary force is indeed gratifying. Even Yan'an has received news from the expeditionary force. If the national army is fully equipped with American weapons, the pressure on the Eighth Route Army will be much greater. Xu Huanshan's expression became serious because of this. He did not doubt the authenticity of the news because he knew that Tang Cheng had no reason or purpose to deceive him. "Don't ask me about the specific details! Only a small group of people know about this matter now. I heard that it is still being discussed by the Military and Political Ministry."
Seeing that Xu Huanshan was interested in the news, Tang Cheng hurriedly explained a few more sentences, because he didn't know whether the information that Deputy Captain Huang had obtained blindly was accurate. "But Lao Xu! If I were you, I would rather believe this kind of thing than ignore it! As the old saying goes, it is called preparing for a rainy day, and it is for times like this. Make more preparations, and nothing will go wrong. Big deal Even if we train our troops in advance, there will be no loss anyway.”
Tang Cheng himself did not know whether the news about the upcoming reorganization of the national army was true or false, but he believed that Deputy Commander Huang would not lie to him. Looking at Xu Huanshan's reaction at this moment, we knew that Yan'an would definitely take this news seriously, but Tang Cheng was not interested at all in how the other party would proceed. Tang Cheng has not forgotten the main purpose of coming to see Xu Huanshan tonight, "Old Xu, what happened to what I told you last time? My people are already preparing to go to northern Myanmar. If you can't make it in time, , let’s forget it this time!”
Tang Cheng's words instantly brought Xu Huanshan back to his sober state, and he immediately spoke without thinking. "Yan'an has basically agreed to your suggestion, but the required personnel will take time. What I mean is that they need to go directly to Kunming to join your people. The superiors have been very aggressive this time. Not only have they assigned the military technology you want, personnel, and an artillery squad, it is said that they are all veterans of combat." Xu Huanshan did not tell Tangcheng at this moment that the number of people prepared in Yan'an was close to 200.
But Xu Huanshan is right. Yan'an absolutely attaches great importance to this opportunity and has indeed made great efforts. Among these 200 people, except for the dozen gunners of the artillery squad, there were only 30 military escorts, and the rest were all military technical personnel. However, the Yan'an side was secretive, and even Xu Huanshan did not know that among the 30 military escorts, there were five political cadres who had been on the battlefield. Like Tangcheng, Yan'an does not have 100% trust in Tangcheng.
Therefore, among the personnel they dispatch, the allocation of political cadres is a must. After hearing this, Tang Cheng just pondered for a moment and did not raise any objection. "Whether we go to Kunming to meet up, the military commander over there is a confidant of the bureau, and there should be nothing wrong. But you must also remind them that the situation in northern Myanmar is different from that in the country." Different, they cannot go to northern Myanmar and scatter the Heart of Mary everywhere. My people will only take care of the Chinese and overseas Chinese in Myanmar. As for the local Myanmar people, I will not care about their life or death."
"I also know that your charter is to unite all people who can be united, but I don't want to see your people go to Myanmar to unite with the local people in Myanmar. Nor can it be because the local people in Myanmar will suffer miserably. As a compliment to China, just go out of your way to help them for free. You have to agree with your superiors in advance that if you can't do what I ask, then they'd better not send people to northern Myanmar. Because, I can't do it because of this. Trivial things that don't matter, chill the hearts of those under me."
