Myanmar is different from China. If it were in China, Tangcheng would definitely not rely on Jianghu forces and vested interests as its base. But Myanmar is different. Even if the Japanese army retreated from Myanmar, there are still British, local and overseas Chinese groups in Myanmar. In this complicated environment, if Tangcheng did not have a basic base to rely on, then he might not even be able to defeat the local natives. In order to protect the interests of the basic base, the code of conduct implemented by Yan'an is obviously not applicable in Myanmar.
Therefore, Tangcheng must explain these matters to Xu Huanshan before people from Yan'an enter Myanmar. "Old Xu, don't stare at me with your eyes! Is what I just said wrong?" Tang Cheng directly chose to ignore Xu Huanshan's eye roll and just said what was in his heart. "The situation in Myanmar is different from that in China. Your code of conduct may not work in Myanmar! Moreover, the armed men who entered Myanmar in the early stage mainly targeted the local people in Myanmar."
"Under the same resource conditions, the Chinese will definitely survive to the end. I have no doubt about this. However, Myanmar is mountainous and the plain area suitable for planting and living is not very large. For the sake of a better life for the Chinese people, , I must do my best to suppress the living space of the local natives. When the expeditionary force first entered Burma to help in the defeat, those Burmese natives helped the Japanese army to chase down the defeated troops of the expeditionary force. My People even found female soldiers from the expeditionary force who had been imprisoned and tortured to death by local people in Myanmar."
"Old Xu, there are only two of us here. Let's not talk about those high-sounding principles. Let's just talk about the experiences of these expeditionary troops who were defeated. Do you think I should let these Burmese natives who carry blood debts go?" Tang Cheng suddenly stopped talking and looked at Xu Huanshan. But Xu Huanshan ignored Tang Cheng at all. He already knew that he could not defeat Tang Cheng, so he simply chose to remain silent. Tang Cheng, who was asking for trouble, could only curse in his heart. Seeing that Xu Huanshan had no intention of speaking, he opened his mouth and continued.
"Old Xu, when I informed you of the plan, I already told you that I am interested in Myanmar because of its access to the sea. But if we want to fully restrain Myanmar, the number of Chinese must have a certain advantage. , I don’t want the British to support one or two Burmese natives in the future when they fall out, and they can drive us out of Burma." Tang Cheng said so much to Xu Huanshan in the past, but actually it was all to make up for what he just said. bedding.
Xu Huanshan wanted to refute Tang Cheng, but unfortunately he thought about what Tang Cheng said carefully and suddenly felt that he had no reason to refute Tang Cheng. Although some parts of the Tangcheng plan are inconsistent with Yan'an's ideas, Myanmar is not a country after all. Moreover, what Tang Cheng said before was correct. The current relations in Myanmar are complicated. If Tang Cheng did not rely on the relationship between the Jianghu forces and the British, it would be difficult for him to gain a foothold in northern Myanmar, let alone a comprehensive plan for Myanmar.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Xu Huanshan was deep in thought, and Tang Cheng continued, "Old Xu, I recruited people to go to northern Myanmar. Although the discipline is a bit lax, the bad things they did only targeted the locals in Myanmar. Myanmar is in its most chaotic time now, and we need people like this to open up the situation. If we can't seize the time and take advantage of the chaos to open up the situation in Myanmar, once the British wake up to their senses. According to the British virtues, they will definitely support someone or A few local Burmese people came forward and continued to use the same attitude towards overseas colonies and ran Burma as before."
"If that's the case, it doesn't matter to me and my business partners. The worst we can do is provide supplies to the British. As long as we continue to occupy the mines in northern Myanmar, our initial investment will not lose money. But those Chinese living in Myanmar What should we do about the overseas Chinese? Before the expeditionary force went to Myanmar, they had been oppressed and exploited by the locals in Myanmar. Now they have finally seen the dawn of a new life. Can we just watch them continue to sink?"
Tang Cheng, who finally learned to play the emotional card, immediately confused Xu Huanshan. He raised his head and stared at Tang Cheng for a long time before Xu Huanshan finally spoke. "It's really a surprise to see each other after three days apart. I didn't expect that Commander Tang is very good at eloquence!" Xu Huanshan looked at Tang Cheng with a look that made me feel attracted to you. The latter had no choice but to pretend to light a cigarette and avoid it. Xu Huanshan’s eyes. In Xu Huanshan's words just now, he directly called Tang Cheng Chief Tang, which obviously showed his opinion on Tang Cheng.
Faced with Xu Huanshan's complaints, Tang Cheng chose to avoid the sharp edge and let Xu Huanshan punch the air, which was very uncomfortable. "I will report to my superiors what you just said! The personnel assigned by superiors are mainly technical personnel, so you don't have to worry about other things happening." Xu Huanshan knew what Tang Cheng was worried about, although he had not yet received the approval from his superiors. approval, but Xu Huanshan still made a guarantee first. When Tang Cheng heard this, he felt relieved. It was better to talk about some things in advance than to have to break up when things happened.
Early the next morning, Deputy Commander Huang came to the Tang family early with a group of senior officials from the garrison. In the study room in the backyard, Tang Cheng said again what he had said to Deputy Commander Huang yesterday. "It's always good to be prepared for a rainy day, but don't be too nervous! Even if there is news now that the army is going to be reorganized, as far as I know, the reorganization is just a proposal, and the specific content and time have not been determined. With so many troops and so many personnel placed and deployed, it cannot be solved immediately by just talking."
Tang Cheng said this, naturally to comfort everyone present, but except for Deputy Captain Huang, the mood of others did not improve because of Tang Cheng's words. Tang Cheng had no choice but to talk about himself, "Brother, although I am not affiliated with the military, I am still well-informed! So far, I have not heard that the government is about to reorganize its troops, and there is still fighting on the front line. , this is not the best time to reorganize the troops. Besides, your garrison regiment is not even a third-line force. Even if you reorganize, I'm afraid it won't be your turn for a while."
Tang Cheng's words made everyone present feel ashamed, but Tang Cheng was right. The garrison was indeed not even a third-line force. But no one present at this moment expected that in the afternoon of that day, news came out from the Ministry of Military Affairs that the government was really going to reorganize the troops, and the garrison regiment was the first to be reorganized. "Look, I was right. The one who lives in the South Bank Villa will sooner or later have to deal with those of us who originally sided with the Liu family."
Compared with the morning, Deputy Captain Huang, who appeared in the study room in the backyard of the Tang family, no longer had panic in his expression, but looked more free and relieved. "I got the news half an hour earlier than them! My family's house and shop in the city have been taken over by someone, and now only the people from the farm outside the city are left." Facing Tang Cheng's probing eyes, Huang The deputy leader did not intend to hide it and told the truth directly.
Compared with the other members of the garrison, Deputy Commander Huang was undoubtedly the one who believed in Tang Cheng the most, so as soon as the news of the reorganization of the troops came out, Deputy Commander Huang immediately came to find Tang Cheng. "Brother, brother, I really have no way out this time, but I am pointing at you!" Deputy Captain Huang, who seems rude but is actually thoughtful, is obviously planning to rely on Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng was not bored by Deputy Captain Huang's deliberate attitude. On the contrary, he felt that Deputy Captain Huang was a good helper.
Deputy Captain Huang came to Tangcheng, which showed that this guy was planning to drag his family to Myanmar. Tangcheng was not polite and took out the map directly. He first carefully explained the current situation in northern Myanmar to Deputy Commander Huang, as well as the current agreement between Hans and the British military. "The British's attention is now focused on the Japanese army, so this is our best opportunity to control northern Myanmar. I will give you a regiment of a thousand troops. Your most important task is to encircle and suppress northern Myanmar. Burmese locals who slipped through the cracks.”
"These local people in northern Myanmar helped the Japanese army and hunted down many lone expeditionary forces. So, don't be soft-hearted. We are now building roads in northern Myanmar, and we will also repair and expand the British army later. The railways left by people, these projects require a lot of manpower. If you don't want our compatriots to do hard work, it is best to capture more Burmese natives. They will be our main force in building roads in the future. The university in Kunming, My people have recruited some architecture students and teachers to go to Myanmar with you this time."
Deputy Commander Huang is not just bringing his family with him this time. He is also bringing some old brothers and their families. Deputy Commander Huang is going to Myanmar with nearly 300 people this time. Although less than half of the nearly 300 people can fight with guns, the armed force of more than 100 people can already do a lot in northern Myanmar. Deputy Captain Huang was a smart man. On the third day after the news of the reorganization came out, he quietly left Chongqing with his people.
Others in the garrison who were still watching secretly learned that when Deputy Commander Huang left Chongqing, Tang Cheng had already been summoned to the military command headquarters by the bureau chief. The bureau chief called Tang Cheng here this time for a case involving a Japanese spy codenamed Hornbill. "This hornbill is said to be a veteran spy transferred from the Kwantung Army in Wuhan's special high school. This person is good at makeup and is very difficult to deal with."
"The hornbill has arrived in Chongqing. You don't need to worry about anything else. Just find this hornbill!" The task assigned by the bureau leader sounds very simple, but the only clues provided by the Wuhan Intelligence Station are when the hornbill was young. of a photo. Tang Cheng, who had seen the photo, did not refuse or complain to the bureau chief about the difficulty of the task. He just nodded silently and agreed.
