The compromise of the British army in Burma gave Tangcheng a chance to breathe. As a former British overseas colony, if Tangcheng did not receive support from the British, those Burmese people would rebel against Tangcheng in minutes. For half a month, Tang Cheng traveled around Myanmar. Deputy Commander Huang, who had moved south from home, was also appointed by Tang Cheng as the first minister of the Myanmar Police Department. Like Thailand now, more than 90% of Myanmar's police system are Chinese, and the remaining 10% of the police must also be of mixed race with Chinese ancestry.
Before the reserve armed forces in northern Myanmar moved south in a large scale, Tangcheng could only rely on the police system to control Myanmar's power. Deputy Captain Huang, who was entrusted with an important task by Tangcheng, said it was hard work, but secretly he was already happy. When he was still in Chongqing, Deputy Commander Huang felt that the heads of the Chongqing Police Department looked very arrogant. Now he has become the minister of the police department, and the police minister of a country. This is much more powerful than the heads of the police departments in Chongqing.
The Jews and German refugees who lived in Myanmar before all lived in northern Myanmar. After settling down, they not only built residences, shops, schools, but also churches in northern Myanmar. Many of the mechanical equipment Tangcheng and the others got back from Japan have also established related factories in northern Myanmar and have been gradually put into production. According to Hans's suggestion, it is best for these factories established in northern Myanmar to move south to central Myanmar. After all, the goods produced by the factories cannot be separated from the port transportation.
But Tangcheng opposed Hans's suggestion. From the beginning, Tangcheng set up its industrial base in northern Myanmar, not only because it was the closest to the country, but also because Tangcheng had been wary of threats from European forces. If Myanmar's factories are too close to the coast, they will become a burden if Myanmar is invaded. Northern Myanmar is mountainous and watery, which is very suitable for guerrilla warfare. Once it loses its opponent, the factories in northern Myanmar can be dismantled and crossed over the border into the country to hide at any time.
A week later, Tang Cheng, who was finally free for the time being, began to recruit workers in Myanmar. He wanted to build a four-lane highway connecting northern Myanmar to Yangon. Solovic's counterfeit banknote factory can print more than 200,000 pounds of counterfeit small-denomination banknotes every day. With these counterfeit banknotes, the fleet that shuttles between Europe and Myanmar can bring a large amount of daily necessities from Europe every day. Tangcheng plans to carry out infrastructure construction in Myanmar as quickly as possible before Europe discovers the counterfeit banknote plan. Anyway, the local population of Myanmar still exceeds ten million.
Tangcheng also recruited experts from Peking and Tianjin who were proficient in ancient architecture through domestic connections, and invited them to go south to Myanmar to join forces with historians he invited from Southwest University to build architectural residences with Chinese characteristics in Myanmar. In Myanmar today, almost all the busy people are Chinese, while local people in Myanmar are still waiting and watching. Tang Cheng has no time to pay attention to those local Burmese people. Once he gets things straightened out in Burma, these ignorant local Burmese people will face different treatment and brutal suppression from Tang Cheng.
In Tangcheng's plan, Myanmar in the future will be a country dominated by Chinese. Both in terms of population and economic strength, it must be dominated by Chinese. All Jews currently living in northern Myanmar will be evacuated from northern Myanmar within three to five years. The Germans Hans brought from Europe will become the backbone of Myanmar. They will become technicians and engineers in factories, or teachers in technical schools. These Germans can live in Myanmar permanently and even become government civil servants, but they have no way to become politicians.
Hans was Tang Cheng's partner, but the night before he became the governor of Myanmar, Hans took the initiative to talk secretly with Tang Cheng all night long. Hans rejected Tang Cheng's decision to entrust him with an important task, and only asked Tang Cheng for an island off the coast of Thailand and a 20% stake in the Myanmar Tobacco Company. Tang Cheng knew that Hans made this choice just to reassure himself and show that Hans would not conflict with him because of interests in the future. Naturally, Tangcheng would not treat its own people badly, especially Hans who knew a lot of his secrets, so Tangcheng asked for a baron title from the British royal family for Hans.
It is undoubtedly a great irony that a German who was once an intelligence agent would become a British baron. But the war is over, and those who are still alive must continue to live, especially Hans, who has a bright future, and he must live a wonderful life. Hans did not reject Tang Cheng's kindness. After Tang Cheng became the governor of Myanmar, Hans also readily accepted the canonization of baron by the British royal family. Moreover, Tangcheng also gave Hans 5% of the shares of United Oil Company. This 5% share alone was enough for Hans and his family to live a luxurious life.
After learning that Tangcheng had become the Myanmar headquarters canonized by the British royal family, Zhang Jianghe, who had been staying in Yangon, his first thought was to leave here. He wanted to go to Yan'an. But Yan'an immediately gave him a new order, asking him to stay with Tangcheng. In other words, Zhang Jianghe's current mission was no longer to lurk among the military commanders, but to lurk around Tangcheng. Zhang Jianghe should be one of the few people that Tang Cheng could trust. Before the bureau could escape from Nanjing, Tang Cheng handed over the management of Myanmar's intelligence department to Zhang Jianghe.
A month later, when Hans returned to Myanmar, he found that it had become a large construction site with busy construction sites everywhere. "There is no other way. There are still too few Chinese in Myanmar. Now I can only use the massive construction as bait to recruit people from China." When asked about the reason, Tang Cheng directly pointed out the inner wall to Hans. In fact, this method was the suggestion of Deputy Commander Huang. A large amount of infrastructure construction requires a large number of manpower, and there are a large number of civilians in the country who are almost out of food and waiting for food.
The government, which has moved back to Nanjing, has no time to pay attention to the sudden rise of Tangcheng, and Tangcheng only recruits workers in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places where information is relatively unavailable, so during this period, the Wanding Port became increasingly busy. Every day, a large number of recruited laborers enter Myanmar through the Wanding Port, and are then sent to different construction sites in batches based on the specialties of each of them. Fortunately, Tangcheng indirectly controls Thailand, otherwise the food consumed by so many people every day would be enough for Tangcheng to have a headache.
Hans's return this time was about the war in the Middle East. The British supported the Arabs behind their backs and had sold a lot of arms to the Arabs. At the same time, they also dragged the North African army, which was unable to lose its tail, into this quagmire. On the surface, it seems that the Jews took advantage of the war in the Middle East in the end, but in fact, the British had eaten from both ends and had already swallowed the biggest benefit. "What the British mean is that they do not want to end the war in the Middle East! The oil reserves in the Gulf allow them to see greater benefits, and they hope to eliminate more Arabs through the Jews."
Hans's words made Tang Cheng take a deep breath, thinking that the British were indeed evil-minded, and they actually wanted to expand their interests in the Gulf region. After thinking secretly, Tang Cheng slowly spoke, "The Jews are not fools, not to mention they have the support of Americans! I heard that an American consortium has quietly contacted the Arabs, and the British plan is likely to be sabotaged by the Americans. ! If they really break up with the Americans, the British may not be able to withstand it!"
Tangcheng's speculation was not unfounded. This war, which involved almost the whole world, had consumed too much resources and energy of Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets. Today's Britain, both in terms of economic power and appeal, is no longer what it used to be. If the Americans make it clear that they want a piece of the pie on the Middle East issue, the British may not be willing to go head-to-head with the United States. The British asked Hans to come back with a message, which meant that they wanted Tang Cheng to use his personal connections to lobby the Zionist Organization.
But they didn't expect that Tangcheng had already seen through their intentions and sent a telegram directly to London. Tangcheng invited familiar British nobles to form a group to inspect Africa. What can be investigated in Africa are naturally various mineral deposits. No one knows that Tang Cheng also has a piece of African mineral information obtained from the system. Tangcheng had already carefully divided this mineral information covering the entire African continent into several parts, and carefully copied them.
According to Tang Cheng's plan, he will use these mineral data to closely connect himself with the British royal family and the aristocratic alliance. If the British government wants to use means against him, the British royal family and the entire aristocratic alliance will be his best backing. . In other words, Tangcheng was preparing to conduct an exchange of interests with the British royal family and aristocratic alliance. Half a month later, two special envoys from the British royal family and four representatives from the noble alliance arrived in Myanmar with more than a dozen entourage.
"Our goal this time is to have two gold mines and one iron mine in South Africa. According to the information we have so far, the reserves of these two gold mines and iron ores are amazing." Tangcheng did not directly provide the information, but After introducing the situation first, he began to make his own requests. "I suggest setting up the African Mining Company first. Hans and I jointly hold 6% of the shares, and the rest is yours. But in return, I will send some of my staff to Birmingham to learn the management and technology of the steel industry."
When United Petroleum was formed last time, Tang Cheng insisted on holding 15% of the shares. This time, he took the initiative to reduce the shareholding in exchange for an opportunity to send people to Birmingham to study. The royal envoy, as the representative, first nodded in agreement, and then the noble representatives also made a decision to agree. Among everyone present, only Hans understood that it was Tang Cheng who actually took advantage.
