The Zionist Organization's second reply did not disappoint Tangcheng. John, who was responsible for delivering the message, not only said that the Zionist Organization was very grateful to Tangcheng for its help. He also told Tangcheng that members of the Zionist Organization in Europe would purchase industrial machinery and equipment for Myanmar, including machinery and equipment for arsenals, in accordance with Tangcheng's requirements. But in return, the Zionist Organization hopes that Tangcheng will now arrange for a large number of Jews still in Europe to go to Myanmar.
Tang Cheng didn't feel there was anything wrong with what he conveyed to John, because he had already told John before that this was just a business. Since it is business, you must have a business attitude. The other party has shown goodwill, so Tangcheng naturally wants to let the other party see its sincerity. Ever since, Hans, who was far away in Europe, received another telegram from Tangcheng. Tang Cheng did not describe much in the telegram, but asked Hans to contact the Zionist organization's contact person in the Netherlands according to the address.
Today's Jews have not yet controlled most media channels in Europe as they did in later generations. Although today's Jews are persecuted in concentration camps, they are also not welcomed by Europeans. The only country that could provide them with some help was the Netherlands, but if the Jews wanted to leave Europe by sea through the Netherlands, they would also have to pay the Dutch. Although Hans didn't know why Tang Cheng had established a relationship with the Zionist Organization, he chose to trust Tang Cheng.
Hans, who rushed to the Netherlands in a hurry, successfully contacted the person in charge of the Zionist Organization here without any effort at all. Through the conversation with the other party, Hans quickly understood Tang Cheng's intentions. Hans, who was still a little worried at first, was finally relieved. He immediately used the radio to contact Tangcheng and asked how he should negotiate with the Zionist Organization. The most important thing is how to open your mouth to the lion of the Zionist organization.
Tang Cheng, who received Hans' call, almost burst out laughing. He didn't expect that Hans, who was far away in Europe, would understand his thoughts so quickly. Now that Hans has arrived in the Netherlands and has contacted the person in charge of the Zionist Organization in the Netherlands, Tang Cheng's extortion plan has officially begun. Hans, who was far away in the Netherlands, followed Tangcheng's plan and suggested that the Zionist Organization classify these Jewish refugees who had just come out of the concentration camps into grades according to the degree of physical recovery.
Those Jews who recovered the fastest were the first to be sent to Myanmar to fight at the front station, while the remaining Jews continued to stay in the Netherlands and began their physical recovery training. Two days later, more than a thousand selected young Jewish men and women sailed from the Netherlands straight to Burma. There were three transport ships transporting this batch of Jews. The cabin of one of them contained some mechanical equipment that Hans had obtained from Germany, including design drawings and prototypes of more than a dozen German field guns and anti-aircraft guns.
German-made anti-aircraft guns are a must-win project for Tangcheng. Although the Japanese have not completely surrendered, there are only a few years left before the peninsula war. In later generations of the Internet, most military fans said that if Rabbit had aided foreign troops at that time, even if it had 30% of the air superiority, Rabbit's troops would not have fought so hard. Tang Cheng had no delusions about improving domestic aircraft manufacturing capabilities in such a short period of time, because he knew that the country did not have the ability to independently produce aircraft. At least before the 1960s, there was absolutely no such capability in the country.
Therefore, instead of spending a lot of manpower and material resources to develop aircraft, it is better to improve the air defense capabilities first. If the air defense firepower is strong enough, the United Nations military aircraft will not dare to blatantly bomb air raids everywhere. Throughout World War II, the performance and destructive power of German-made weapons have been proven. Therefore, in the secret message Tangcheng sent to Hans, obtaining information and design drawings of German-made weapons became a top priority, especially the relevant engineers and technicians.
Hans was worthy of being a senior intelligence officer with a background in intelligence. As the war in Berlin came to an end, while the Allies and the Soviet army were still arguing, Hans secretly contacted many of his former colleagues and friends in the German intelligence department. In the first batch of arms ships to leave the Netherlands, the families of Hans' old friends and colleagues were hidden. In return, these old friends and colleagues of Hans will help Hans in Germany, using the scarce food and medicines on the market to buy all the materials and drawings they find valuable at low prices.
If they meet truly talented engineers or arsenal technicians, they will use the opportunity to leave Germany as a bargaining chip to lure these German engineers and technicians, sign employment contracts, and then send them to Burma along with their families. As Hans and the others moved more and more frequently, throughout April, Zhang Jianghe, who was far away in Myanmar, almost became the station manager of the reception station. Almost every day, large ships docked in Yangon.
Besides a large number of Jews, these large ships from Europe carried the machinery and equipment that Myanmar needed, and even original German ordnance and related engineers and technicians. Zhang Jianghe is in pain and happiness now, because he has long received the telegram from Tangcheng and knows that the mechanical equipment and ordnance that Hans brought from Europe and the technicians from Yan'an can operate it anytime and anywhere. And perform data replication.
In other words, as long as these technicians from Yan'an do not expose their identities to the outside world, they can even learn from those German engineers. By mid-May, the busy Tangcheng could finally stop and take a break, because the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar finally exceeded 300,000. There are more than 100,000 Jews who came from Europe. The first Jews to come have basically become accustomed to the climate and living environment of Myanmar.
The Jews who were imprisoned in the concentration camps by the Nazis were basically the middle class among the Jews. There was no shortage of elites at the scholar and professor level among them, and of course there was no shortage of various technicians and craftsmen that Myanmar needed. These Jews were sent to Myanmar, originally only to live temporarily and recuperate, but Tangcheng did not want to waste such a good opportunity. Southwest University, which had been contacted for a long time, immediately sent people to northern Myanmar to communicate with the elites among these Jewish refugees.
What Tangcheng needs to do next is, after a short break, to unite Southwest University and these Jewish elites to establish a comprehensive joint college in northern Myanmar that includes high schools and universities. But Tang Cheng doesn't have much money anymore, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being, but the address of the school has been selected. "Tang, there are only two of us here. Can you tell me the truth? Do you just want to be a businessman? Or do you want to control the entire Burma?" In John's hotel room, John looked at Tang Cheng with a serious expression.
Tang Cheng, who was stared at by John, had a lazy look on his face. He casually put out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray and said with a grin. "John, our relationship is just a cooperative relationship now, not a real friend. So, do you think I will tell you my plan and purpose?" Tang Cheng's words didn't sound good, but John was speechless. , because what Tang Cheng said was not wrong. If it were John, he would not tell others about his plan.
"Tang, I thought we had been friends for a long time!" John seemed to be an invincible Xiaoqiang. It was clear that Tang Cheng's attitude was obvious enough, but he still continued to ask. "We still have many compatriots in Europe who need to be transferred to Burma. As you know, they were all devastated by the Nazis to varying degrees. We are worried that if the situation in Burma is unstable, it will inevitably affect our plans and these compatriots. So, you You must give me a clear answer, and we need to know what your next plan and purpose are."
John's tough attitude naturally came from the top of the Zionist Organization, because their person in charge in Europe had more than once discovered German ordnance and the families of German engineers and technicians in transport ships bound for Burma. The Jews in Europe had only experienced the persecution of the Nazis, so they were hostile to almost all Germans. Worried about changes in their plans, they were eager to know the purpose of smuggling German-made ordnance and related technical personnel into Myanmar.
After John made it clear, Tang Cheng finally laughed out loud, "John, your people only saw the families of the German engineers, but they didn't see the German mechanical equipment that came aboard with them. There was only mechanical equipment, but Without relevant operating engineers and technicians, when can I build the factory I need in northern Myanmar? Don’t tell me that I can recruit technicians from your compatriots? You know it yourself, they will sooner or later After leaving Myanmar, what will I do when that time comes?"
"Are you really smuggling those Germans just for those factories?" Perhaps because he felt that Tang Cheng's answer was too casual, John was a little suspicious of whether Tang Cheng was deliberately perfunctory. Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng just glanced at the other party angrily, and then told John that he was planning to build an arsenal in northern Myanmar. If you want to control northern Myanmar, you must first have the power to protect yourself. John understands Tangcheng's plan. Because if it were him, he would make the same decision.
"John, don't say I didn't remind you. Among the engineers we hired from Germany this time, there are senior technicians who are proficient in tanks and armored vehicles. On the North African battlefield, a large number of German and British tanks and armored vehicles were left behind. These tanks and armored vehicles, It is not impossible to repair them. If you have the opportunity and time, why not mobilize local people from North Africa to search for those abandoned tanks and armored vehicles for you, and then transport them to Myanmar for repairs."
