After a long wait, the frontline troops finally launched a counterattack. Although it was not a full-scale counterattack, it was enough to make Tangcheng ecstatic, especially when the US Air Force in China bombed Japanese military targets in Shanghai and Fuzhou. These are not what Tang Cheng focuses on. What interests him most is the news that the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Indian Expeditionary Force will join forces in Mangyou. The smooth rendezvous of the expeditionary forces heralded that the war in Burma was about to end, and Tangcheng needed to make all preparations, especially preparations to deal with the British army.
After Hans left, the radio station installed in Tangcheng's backyard continued to send telegrams to Zhang Jianghe in Myanmar. In these messages written in secret language, Tang Cheng explained to Zhang Jianghe the reason why he could not go to northern Myanmar for the time being, and the importance of Hans going to the British mainland. Zhang Jianghe, who was still in Myanmar, had no choice but to temporarily take over Hans' original job according to Tang Cheng's request. Fortunately, the output of those gold mines was good. The senior British military officials, who were greedy for money, were also a little wary of Zhang Jianghe's status as military commander, and the contacts between the two sides were relatively good.
However, Tangcheng has not always had smooth sailing. The black market in the military camp is becoming more and more prosperous, but the money in Tangcheng's hands is getting less and less. After Hans left, Tangcheng increased its efforts to transport various supplies to northern Myanmar. Almost all the mules and horses around Kunming were bought up by Mr. Ma and others. Transporting a large amount of materials requires a huge amount of money to support it. The wealth of those Paoge bosses involved in the plan has been put on the construction of mines and roads, so Tangcheng can only use its own wealth.
In order to maintain the transportation of supplies, Tang Cheng had spent all the gold and oceans at home. He had no choice but to find Xu Huanshan. "I thought you would never see me again!" Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan sat face to face in a teahouse in the east of the city. This teahouse is a new stronghold of Chongqing's underground party organization. Xu Huanshan's words did not receive an explanation from Tang Cheng. Tang Cheng just smiled slightly and took out a piece of information and handed it to Xu Huanshan.
"This is a piece of exploration data on various mines in the Yan'an area and its surrounding areas. Yan'an is full of talents, so it shouldn't be difficult to judge the authenticity of this data." Tang Cheng motioned to Xu Huanshan to check the data, but he lit a cigarette , and then started smoking silently. "This is only half of the information. After glaring at me and telling me my request, you can decide whether to read the remaining half." Facing Xu Huanshan's probing eyes with a hint of annoyance, Tang Cheng's attitude was very firm. After Xu Huanshan thought about it for a while, , could only nod lightly towards Tang Cheng.
"I need a sum of money, a big sum, and I also need a group of skilled technicians. The matter in Myanmar will have a result soon. There is not much time left for me, so I need to speed up my work." Plan. Funds and technicians are the only things I lack at the moment. I use this weapon blueprint to exchange with you for a short-term loan of funds and three years of employment of no less than fifty skilled technicians. These are my conditions. I hope you will respond as soon as possible."
After Tang Cheng stated his conditions, he pointed at half of the information in Xu Huanshan's hand and said, "I know that the Eighth Route Army also has an arsenal, but because of the lack of material sources, the Eighth Route Army's arsenal has always been mainly for the maintenance of weapons and equipment. Yan'an is yours The actual control area of the state cannot reach you yet. These coordinates in the data can ensure that you can find all kinds of minerals you need around Yan'an, especially the copper, iron and coal needed by the arsenal."
Tang Cheng had made it very clear, and he did not deceive Xu Huanshan. All the coordinates marked in the data represented a mine around Yan'an. If the Eighth Route Army actually controls and mines these mines, although the quantity of minerals produced cannot be guaranteed, there should be no problem in feeding the Eighth Route Army's arsenals. This matter was not a small matter, and Xu Huanshan did not dare to make the decision, so after thinking about it secretly, he did not ask to see the remaining half of the information, but asked Tang Cheng to wait for two days.
An hour later, after careful consideration, Xu Huanshan used the radio to report the incident directly to Yan'an Teco. After receiving the report, Yan'an Teco did not dare to neglect, and took the translated message and reported the matter to the highest level. Half an hour later, some troops around Yan'an were urgently mobilized to conduct surveys one by one according to the coordinates mentioned in the telegram. The results of the survey were naturally exciting. According to the coordinates in the telegram, the mobilized troops successively found coal mines and iron mines.
"It seems that our little friend did not deceive us!" In a small cave dwelling, several senior officials from the central government were sitting together and discussing the emergency message sent from Chongqing. "The situation in Myanmar has basically become clear. Our friend needs financial support at this time. It seems that he is determined to plot against Myanmar!" Thanks to Xu Huanshan's attention to Tangcheng, Yan'an Teco has already They sent people south to sneak into northern Myanmar, so Yan'an Teco is not unfamiliar with matters in Myanmar.
"I heard that this Tang city is very troublesome. He was originally just a small patrol in Nanjing city, but now he is someone who can't be easily offended in Chongqing city. His search team has made many arrests in Chongqing city. The Japanese and puppet agents prepared to attack the Nan'an villa twice, and I heard that he led his people to deal with it." The senior Yan'an person who spoke did not have any prejudice against Tang Cheng, whom he had never met before. He spoke like this because Tang Cheng The relationship between the city, Juntong and Nan'an Villa.
"According to the investigation by the underground party organization in Chongqing, this Tangcheng has a good reputation in Chongqing. Although this person is young, he is a smart man and has never participated in politics or internal fighting. The investigation on Teko's side also shows that this person does not care about Whether in Nanjing or Chongqing, they only deal with Japanese and puppet spies and traitors and scum, and never participate in actions against underground party organizations. And according to a report from a Special Branch insider, the sensational escape from the Shanghai Solitary Army Camp is related to this Tangcheng .”
The opinions of the senior officials in Yan'an are not unified, and some of them are very optimistic about Tangcheng. After all, Tangcheng has never expressed a hostile attitude towards the underground party or Yan'an. Moreover, Xu Huanshan, who is now staying in Chongqing and in contact with Tangcheng alone, has received a lot of help from Tangcheng. Without Tangcheng, Xu Huanshan might have been captured by Zhongtong. "Tangcheng has now proposed to lend us a short-term loan of funds. I personally think that this fund can be lent to him. But we have to carefully consider the skilled technicians he needs. After all, our own arsenal also needs these. Mechanic.”
The discussions among senior officials in Yan'an gradually deviated from their agenda as the incident progressed. Now it is no longer a matter of whether to provide funds to Tangcheng, but what Tangcheng wants to do to Myanmar, because none of them believe that with just the few people Tangcheng has arranged in northern Myanmar, they can take over the entire country. Myanmar. After several hours of repeated discussions and deductions, the senior officials in Yan'an were still at a loss, because according to their discussions and deductions, it was impossible for Tangcheng to have the possibility and opportunity to occupy the entire Burma.
At this moment, the senior officials in Yan'an did not know that Tangcheng came from later generations, and they did not know that the complete defeat of the Japanese army did not mean that the country would be able to calm down. And with the beginning of the civil war, Tangcheng could divert a large number of Chinese from the country southward into Myanmar to escape the chaos anytime and anywhere. In China, which has a population of 400 million, Tangcheng only needs to divert 1%, which is a population of 4 million. Moreover, China is not the only country with Chinese in Asia. South Asia, which is in chaos after the war, is also a good place for Tangcheng to introduce Chinese.
Therefore, what Yan'an senior officials are worried about is not the biggest problem here in Tangcheng. He only needs to get the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar to exceed 500,000 before Japan fully surrenders. Yan'an did not understand Tangcheng's plan, so their worries were unnecessary. After a night of repeated discussions, Yan'an finally made a decision. Yan'an could provide the funds and loans requested by Tangcheng, but the provision of skilled technicians was not approved for the time being.
When Tangcheng saw Xu Huanshan again on the third day, he learned that the two requests he made were that Yan'an only agreed to lend him a sum of money, and Xu Huanshan said that he was a skilled technician and had not passed it yet. But Xu Huanshan didn't know that Tangcheng deliberately made the request to hire skilled technicians that day, and he also knew that Yan'an would never agree to his request. From beginning to end, all Tang Cheng asked for was a loan of funds, and hiring skilled technicians was just a cover for him.
There is an American Citibank office in Chongqing. What Xu Huanshan handed over to Tangcheng was the Citibank account number, with three million US dollars in the account. "This money is a donation from overseas Chinese, so there must be no mistakes in this money, otherwise my sin will be great." Xu Huanshan, who handed over the account, looked a little reluctant, but Tangcheng All the US dollars in this account were transferred on the same day.
With the funds borrowed from Yan'an, it was finally time for Tangcheng's other plans to be implemented. Tang Cheng now has a tacit understanding with Deputy Commander Huang. No matter how many available manpower he finds, Deputy Commander Huang can guarantee that they will be sent to northern Myanmar in the shortest possible time. Throughout February, Tangcheng was so busy that Deputy Commander Huang, who had been doing nothing all day, was so tired that he lost weight.
Time entered March, and Tangcheng finally received the telegram sent by Hans from the British mainland. He said that the trip to the UK was not smooth, and the American warship they were traveling on was almost not sunk by a German submarine on the way. However, after setting foot on the British Isles, Hans' luck improved. The aristocratic officer they supported not only successfully inherited the family's noble title, but Hans also communicated with the British royal family through this newly promoted member of the aristocracy. Got into a relationship.
