The British are arrogant and greedy, but they also know how to play both sides. The empire on which the sun never sets in the past was not just built with fists. If it weren't for this war that involved most countries in the world, the United States would never have formed an alliance with the Soviet Union. Therefore, as long as the Soviet Union still exists in this world, Thomas can use this little book and the Soviet Union to make the Americans willingly agree to the British proposal. Require. Tang Cheng, who understood clearly in his heart, still pretended to know nothing at this moment, pouting at Thomas.
"Did you see clearly! The information in this book shows that the place is in Germany, which is the place that the Americans and the Soviets are fighting for! Even if you find out the authenticity of the information or find the location of the minerals, no matter Neither the Soviets nor the Americans will agree to your mining! I have heard that the United States and the Soviet Union intend to split the current Germany into two, with one family managing half! I think it will be difficult for you to want those resources! "
Tang Cheng's words were both internal and external, and he only talked about those resources. His reaction, in Thomas's opinion, showed that he had no political acumen. But he didn't know that Tang Cheng was pretending to be like this on purpose, because the old man in front of him was too candid, which actually made Tang Cheng suspicious. Thomas was not only a British nobleman, but also had a close relationship with the royal family. Tang Cheng didn't know if this old man came here to test him deliberately.
Thomas, who was in the excitement, did not notice the change in Tang Cheng's expression at this moment. He was still thinking about how to make good use of this little book. "Do you want to come back to London with me?" Thomas suddenly spoke after a moment of silence. "If you want to gain more support from the royal family and the upper class, you must let them know the relationship between this little book and you." The old man looked at Tang Cheng, with nothing but frankness in his eyes.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he shook his head slightly and said to himself, "Master, I am not one of your British bastards. Why rush to London to please those damn nobles?" "I still won't go! There are still many things to deal with in Myanmar, and there are also a lot of things in Thailand. Now I wish I could only sleep for two hours a day, and spend the rest of my time dealing with those troublesome things." Tang Cheng declined the old man's invitation, and he did not lie. There were indeed many things waiting for him to go back to Myanmar to deal with.
After the proud old man left with the small notebook, Tang Cheng immediately grabbed the cigarette on the table, lit it and turned slightly to look at the compartment behind him. "Okay! Everyone has left, and you still haven't come out!" As Tang Cheng finished speaking, the people in the inner room were pushed away, and Hans walked out of the inner room. When Thomas came uninvited, Tang Cheng was talking to Hans. Tang Cheng could only let Hans hide in the inner room, but he didn't want Hans to be a spectator.
"Don, is what Thomas said true? Are those two sisters in your family really Thomas's granddaughters?" The direction Hans was paying attention to at the moment was obviously not the small book Tang Cheng gave Thomas, nor Thomas. He might secretly support Tang Cheng, but instead ask about things related to the twins. Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng glanced at Hans angrily, then picked up the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth. After slowly exhaling the smoke in his mouth, Tang Cheng looked at Hans again and spoke.
"Aren't you curious about what was written in the little notebook I gave the old man? You heard it just now. The old man said it himself. The things I gave him can be used to negotiate with the Americans and the Soviets. A bargaining chip!" The more Hans wanted to inquire about things related to the twins, the less anxious Tang Cheng became, and instead started teasing Hans. But what he didn't expect was that Hans immediately shook his head, indicating that he was not interested in what happened between Tang Cheng and Thomas just now.
"Okay! I'm convinced!" Tang Cheng finished his cigarette in a few puffs and then informed Hans about the twins. "My mother went to the mission hospital to visit a close friend that day, and she happened to encounter the birth of twins. However, the mother of the twins died on the spot in the delivery room due to heavy bleeding. As you know, my mother likes children very much. Several of my family members Except for my sister and me, all the other children were adopted by my mother. Maybe she thought the mixed-race children were cute, and they were twin girls, so my mother felt compassion for them at that time."
"At that time, my father was still serving in the Chairman's Guard, and my mother's family was not an ordinary person, so it was not difficult for the family to raise two more children. This happened after my father passed away and I became a patrol officer. My mother just told me. What the old man just said is almost as little as what I know, and the twins do wear a pair of platinum bracelets on their hands. However, these two children have been in my family for almost ten years, and they are a little bit like my mother. The one who raised them just relied on the old man's casual words, how could I hand them over to him?"
Hans's excitement had passed now, and he began to consider the matter from the perspective of Tangcheng, "But this Thomas is not simple. His family has a very good relationship with the royal family, and it seems that the only direct bloodline of the Thomas family is I got rid of this old man. I heard what he just said, does he want to take back the two children as the heirs of the family?" Although Hans considered this matter from the perspective of Tangcheng, he did not believe himself. After all, the old man named Thomas is notoriously difficult to deal with!
Regarding Hans's worries, Tang Cheng shook his head indifferently, "Whether he is selfish or public, those two are my Tang Cheng's sisters! As long as they don't want to, as long as my mother doesn't nod, Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't take anyone away!" Hans knows very well how Tang Cheng treats his family, so he has no doubt that Tang Cheng can fall out with Thomas for the sake of his two sisters. But looking at the current state of Tangcheng, Hans suspected that this bad guy might have shaken that old man Thomas just now.
"Ha!" Tang Cheng, who was seriously questioned by Hans, just chuckled when he heard this, "What do you mean by shaking him? You were in the back room just now, did you hear me shaking him? I just said at the time that I wanted to go back and ask him. Ask my mother, after all, what Thomas said needs to be confirmed with my mother! It was the old man himself who didn't hear clearly what I said. Even if I shake him, what will happen?" Tang Cheng said himself. He laughed out loud, and Hans was now even more convinced that Tang Cheng had indeed swayed Thomas.
"But what the old man said just now is right. Not all British people are willing to cooperate with us fairly! I saw that the old man seemed to be hesitant to speak just now. I guess it is the high-level officials of the British government who have begun to express dissatisfaction with us. Already? Many high-level officials in the British government were opposed to the royal canonization of me. If it hadn’t been for the royal family taking the initiative to provide a sum of money as a fund for post-war reconstruction, my canonization would probably have been Unable to pass."
In fact, not only Tangcheng, but also Hans was very impatient with the arrogance of the British. "But what he just said reminded me! According to the old man, Britain is not united internally, especially the government and the aristocracy are natural opposites. If it were not for the existence of the royal family, perhaps the government would have prepared a decree to completely abolish it The aristocracy. That’s why the aristocrats in London will get together to form an alliance. Their main purpose is to fight against the government."
"Now, I have become the Governor of Burma, and you are a baron. We are all new British nobles, and sooner or later we will become their targets. I just heard what the old man said. He wants us to be like him and just be loyal to the royal family. That's good! It seems that not only the top government officials, but also the British royal family are dissatisfied with the noble men in London!" What Tang Cheng was analyzing at the moment made Hans confused. What should he say about the noble men in London? The familiarity of Tangcheng, which has only been to London once, is far inferior to that of Hans.
But even Hans failed to see the British royal family's thoughts. He thought that the aristocratic alliance in London had always been the most loyal supporters of the British royal family. "How is this possible! Now even the British royal family has almost become a symbolic mascot, and they still care about the nobles. The reason why you saw them enjoying themselves in London a few times before is because Because the relationship between them is just a business relationship, not the servant relationship between the monarch and the noble knights in the old times."
"In other words, this war has completely torn off the nobility's fig leaf. With the decline of the nobles' children, the royal family no longer dares to sit in the same boat as them! In other words, the royal family currently needs to be able to help them. New partners, such as new nobles like you and me. Especially Myanmar is now considered my fiefdom, and it is still a hereditary fiefdom. Once the British face a protracted war again, Myanmar may be their last resort. "
Although Hans didn't know why Tang Cheng made such an inference, he chose to believe Tang Cheng. The British royal family not only ennobled a foreigner to become the governor of an overseas colony, but also entrusted this overseas colony to Tangcheng to become a hereditary fiefdom. This in itself is a bit strange. But such a ridiculous thing has actually become a reality. Based on Tangcheng's speculation just now, Hans also believes that the British royal family did not take the wrong medicine, but was investing in Tangcheng in advance to prepare for a rainy day.
"The old man came to me to trick me. They wanted to confirm our attitude towards the royal family! There are many British troops in India. If they are sure, we are not the best choice! I guess they may, They will secretly encourage the local people in Myanmar to cause a large-scale riot in Myanmar. In this way, they will have an excuse and opportunity to mobilize troops from India into Myanmar. Then they will take advantage of the chaos to kill us, and then pass the responsibility to the local people in Myanmar who caused the riot. People, they become the final winners.”
