The prerequisite for Tangcheng to become the hereditary governor of Myanmar is that the British royal family must have shares in Tangcheng's business. The proportion of shares held by the British royal family is not high, the minimum is 5%, and the maximum cannot exceed 20%. In return, Burma stopped paying taxes and fees to Britain from the moment Tang became its governor-general. No matter how you calculate it, Tang Cheng is the one who takes advantage, so he doesn't dislike contact with the British royal family.
In fact, before the canonization, Tang Cheng met with the British Queen and directly asked why the British government agreed to become the Governor-General of Myanmar. The British Queen, who looked wise, did not answer the question directly, but instead asked Tang Cheng why the British government refused to recognize Tang Cheng's identity as the Governor of Myanmar, and whether Tang Cheng would choose to accept this result silently. Of course, Tangcheng would not accept this result silently. For this result, he had worked hard for several years and even voluntarily gave up many benefits.
The Queen's rhetorical question made Tang Cheng suddenly realize that the British themselves knew that the world structure had changed. The former empire on which the sun never sets has been severely weakened by this war, and they are no longer able to maintain most of their overseas colonies. Among the many overseas colonies, Myanmar, a remote and remote place, is not even as important as the tiny Hong Kong. Not to mention that next door to Myanmar is India, which is hailed by the British as the jewel in the Queen's crown. In particular, the benefits that the British royal family has gained from Tangcheng are far more than the taxes and fees collected from Myanmar.
Moreover, the Burmese governor of Tangcheng was canonized by the British royal family. In a sense, the Burmese governor of Tangcheng still had a servant relationship with the British royal family. Tang Cheng, who sensed the Queen's attitude, actually didn't take the British people's little thoughts to heart at all, because these big-nosed foreigners didn't understand the Chinese way of life. In a few years, when the world structure changes again and a large number of colonized countries seek independence, he, the Governor of Myanmar, will completely get rid of British control.
The British government's compromise was obviously the result of collective pressure from the royal family and the aristocratic alliance, but Tangcheng didn't care about it. After all, both the royal family and the aristocratic alliance had benefited from themselves. Just when the Nanjing government received the news, the Tang family, who were still living in Chongqing, had been personally escorted to Wanding by Deputy Commander Huang, from where they would enter northern Myanmar. Tang's mother was as confused as the bureau chief. She could never imagine how her son could become the Governor-General of Myanmar conferred by the British royal family!
Deputy Commander Huang, who had not made up his mind originally, brought all his family members with him this time. Good brother Tang Cheng has become the Governor of Myanmar, and the position of Governor can still be hereditary. This means that Myanmar has now become the private territory of his good brothers. As long as his good brothers are willing, he, the governor, can become the royal family of Myanmar at any time. There are many people who think the same as Deputy Captain Huang, and Wanding has become even busier because a large number of Chinese enter northern Myanmar from here every day.
Like the United States and Britain, the Zionist Organization also recognized Tangcheng. Although they did not send a congratulatory message, the Zionist Army stationed at the Thai dock quickly handed over the defense of Bangkok to the newly formed German infantry regiment in Tangcheng. . The current Thai royal family has completely given up resistance, and the British attitude has proven everything. And as the news further spreads, Chinese expatriates living in other countries in South Asia are secretly wondering whether they should separate a branch of their family to settle in Myanmar. After all, the governor of Myanmar is also a Chinese.
This series of changes was something Tang Cheng had never expected before. When he learned that during this period, many Chinese families had applied to settle in northern Myanmar, Tang Cheng was really happy. "Hans, it seems that our attitude towards Thailand needs to be adjusted!" On the way back to Myanmar, Tang Cheng forcibly woke up Hans who had fallen asleep. "I originally only wanted to take over the narrow area south of Bangkok so that we can dig canals or lay railways! Looking at the current situation, the Thai royal family seems to be ready to accept their fate!"
Hans, who was awakened from his sleep by Tang Cheng, would inevitably get angry when he got out of bed. However, after he heard what Tang Cheng said clearly, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and pick up the topic from Tang Cheng. "If the Thai royal family has really accepted its fate, then we must seize the time and start adjusting the composition of Thailand's government as quickly as possible. It is best to remove all pro-Europeans who have received European education from the government. Then we will vigorously support our own people.”
"Even if the people we support may not be accepted by the local Thais in the early days. But as time goes by, it only takes one generation for those local Thais to slowly accept the reality. If the government is strong enough, as long as it allows Most Thai locals have received benefits and benefits, and I believe they can forget about the Thai royal family and the previous upper-class families in the shortest possible time." Hans, who has lived in China for many years, naturally knows what the common people at the bottom need, and he has always No one thinks that the European political system can work in Asian countries.
Hans's suggestion is very practical and direct, but the biggest difficulty facing Tangcheng currently is the lack of manpower. Although the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar is constantly increasing, it can increase by several hundred people every day, making it difficult to meet the requirements of Tangcheng. After thinking about it secretly, Tang Cheng looked up at Hans and said, "Hans, why not just use the Germans you brought from Europe? Their cultural level is generally much higher than that of the Chinese in South Asia! As long as they are older We have decided on the direction, and there should be no problem for them to become mayor, right?"
Tangcheng did not plan to follow the path of parliamentary management like Europe, but planned to adopt domestic administrative vertical management in later generations. At the same time, the power level of the secretary was also removed, and the mayor's responsibility system was directly used. However, outside the government, a supervisory department was also established for supervision and management. The Germans Hans brought from Europe were all screened and selected by his former colleagues. Ordinary Germans were not so lucky to be able to travel across the ocean to live in northern Myanmar.
Hans himself is German, so he has no objection to Tangcheng's suggestion. There are currently more than 300,000 Germans living in northern Myanmar. Although most of them are children and various technical personnel, it is not difficult to select a few talents who are engaged in management. Hans, who was worried about the shortage of manpower, simply sent a telegram to his former colleagues in Europe after returning to Myanmar, asking them to recruit more management talents to come to Myanmar.
After returning to Tangcheng in Myanmar, I immediately went north to northern Myanmar to meet my family first. Mother Tang, who had been feeling dizzy these days, learned from her son that this place belonged to her family from now on, and she happily shouted that her ancestors had spirits. The happiest person in the Tang family is Tang's mother, and next is Zhou Hongzhuang. The former son and daughter of the world have suddenly become the governor's wife. As for the rest of the Tang family, they could not understand the excitement of their mother and Zhou Hongzhuang at all. They were even more looking forward to when Tang Cheng would take them to the beach.
But Tang Cheng has no free time at all now. After going to northern Myanmar to see his family, he has to return to Yangon immediately to meet with the senior British troops stationed in Myanmar. According to the opinion of the British government, the British troops stationed in Myanmar will soon evacuate Myanmar and transfer all to India. However, Tangcheng currently does not have that many troops stationed in the defense area left by the British army, so he plans to lobby the top brass of the British army, hoping that the British troops originally stationed here can stay for a longer period of time.
"Half a year, double pay, and everyone will get a bonus when they leave!" Tang Cheng, who met with the British military leaders, directly put aside those euphemistic words, and after directly explaining the purpose, he also gave a These British troops could not refuse the favorable terms. Compared with India, these British troops have already adapted to the time and environment here in Myanmar, not to mention that the conditions offered by Tangcheng are indeed generous. The senior British troops agreed to Tangcheng's conditions without hesitation. Six months from now, these British troops will continue to stay in Myanmar and help Tangcheng suppress the local Myanmar people here.
Although half a year is not long, six months passed in a flash, but Tang Cheng, who already has a plan in mind, will make good use of this six-month buffer period. Tang Cheng is the governor-general of Myanmar conferred by the British royal family. Regardless of whether the local Burmese people recognize it or not, Burmese political groups cannot avoid Tang Cheng, the governor-general of Myanmar. Tangcheng, with the support of the British army, soon issued the first governor-general order to remove the armed forces in northern Myanmar. Other armed forces in Myanmar must surrender all their armed forces to the government within a time limit.
The time limit given by Tangcheng is three months, which means that after three months, if other armed forces in Myanmar still retain their original armed forces, they will become the targets of the government's attack. The current armed forces in northern Myanmar will soon be renamed the Myanmar National Defense Forces, and they will be reorganized into regular national armed forces based on regiments according to regular establishment. According to Tangcheng's estimates, the armed forces in northern Myanmar will be reorganized into twelve infantry regiments, four of which are stationed in northern Thailand, and three German infantry regiments in the south to form a north-south pincer attack.
Tang Hu's young army will be transferred back to northern Myanmar and become a mobile force in northern Myanmar. Tangcheng will also equip the young army with heavy equipment, including tanks and armored vehicles, so that they can become their trump card. And with the beginning of the domestic melee, Tang Cheng believed that Tang Hu's young army would soon expand. Tang Cheng did not get carried away with joy just because he became the governor of Myanmar. He knew clearly that military power must be in the hands of his own people so that he, the governor, could sit firmly.
