If it had been anyone else, Tang Cheng's inferences at this moment would have been horrified and uneasy. But both Tang Cheng and Hans have seen the world, and they have made decisions and preparations to face difficulties. "It's just that these noble gentlemen never thought that the top brass of the British army stationed in Myanmar would have accepted my suggestion and postponed their transfer to India! As long as there are British troops in Myanmar, those nobles will have no chance to interfere in Myanmar's affairs. !”
Although a large number of aristocratic officers died on the battlefield in World War I and World War II, the British military, like the government, never had much favorable impressions of the domestic aristocracy. Especially among the lower-level officers in the British army, many people feel that those aristocratic officers have seriously hindered the promotion channels of lower-level officers like them. At present, the only ones that can be intervened by nobles are the intelligence department and some less sensitive government departments.
Therefore, as long as there are British troops stationed in Myanmar, even if Myanmar is in trouble, it will only be Tangcheng's own business. Hans was just wondering how the British soldiers in Burma could be so easy to talk to, but when he saw Tang Cheng making a gesture of counting money towards him, he immediately understood. "Fortunately, with Solovitch's help, our counterfeit banknote plan has been going smoothly, otherwise we would have gone bankrupt long ago!" Tang Cheng's words resonated with Hans. Myanmar's expenses during this period were really thanks to the implementation of the counterfeit banknote plan. .
But according to Tangcheng's plan, Myanmar will still be in a situation where you can only get out but not get in. Tangcheng, who wanted to quickly increase the number of Chinese, planned to expand the recruitment of labor from the country. He wanted to use favorable conditions to lure the Chinese who came to work in northern Myanmar to stay and settle in Myanmar. The favorable conditions in the Tangcheng plan are not generous wages, but fertile fields that can be seen everywhere in northern Myanmar, small agricultural machinery with excellent performance, and a safe living environment.
Domestic farmers, if they live in areas controlled by the Eighth Route Army, are doing relatively well, but farmers living in Kuomintang-controlled areas not only have to bear all kinds of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but also suffer from oppression and exploitation by local gangsters and landlords from time to time, so they can live a good life. Not as good as the bonded workers in old Shanghai. The various preferential treatment for agriculture in northern Myanmar have never been seen by domestic farmers. In just six months, most domestic Chinese who were previously recruited to participate in infrastructure construction in northern Myanmar chose to stay and settle in northern Myanmar.
Tangcheng is now beginning to significantly expand the number of Chinese in Myanmar. These domestic Chinese who have chosen to settle in northern Myanmar have become middlemen one by one. Tang Cheng promised that for every person they recruited from China, he would pay the introducer one yuan in agency fees. With the testimony and lobbying of these middlemen, coupled with the up-and-down management of Myanmar clerks, the already busy Wanding Port has once again become even busier, with thousands of people entering northern Myanmar from here almost every day.
It would take at least five or six days for Thomas to return to the UK from Burma, plus the royal family's consideration time. By the time Tangcheng received the telegram, it was already half a month later. In just half a month, more than 40,000 Chinese have been added to northern Myanmar, and all of them are Chinese from China. Half of these Chinese are singles. They have no families. They just come to explore the country when they don't understand the situation. The remaining half of the Chinese people moved their families to northern Myanmar and planned to settle here.
Coincidentally, after learning that Tangcheng had been conferred the title of Governor-General of Myanmar by the British royal family, the Chinese in South Asian countries were overjoyed and arranged for their children to settle in Myanmar and Thailand. Compared with the Chinese from China, the South Asian Chinese are still basically in the wait-and-see stage. After all, their families have a big business, and they are also worried about whether Tangcheng has the ability to control Myanmar and Thailand. Tang Cheng did not intend to pay attention to the indifferent psychological behavior of the South Asian Chinese, because he did not want to force these South Asian Chinese families to make an immediate choice.
Japan's international trial is still going on. Neither Tang Cheng nor Hans is interested in paying attention to this matter, because they all know that there are Americans behind it, and the final trial result will definitely not meet the expectations of the Chinese. At exactly this time, Thomas, who had no news after returning to London, sent a telegram to Tangcheng. The small book Thomas brought back has been confirmed by the British intelligence agency that there are indeed many resources buried in Germany.
This little book made the British royal family start to take Tangcheng seriously. The previous oil fields in Egypt and the several mines found in South Africa have shown that Tangcheng is not simple. Coupled with Thomas's vigorous lobbying, the British royal family finally made a decision that they would strongly support Tangcheng's annexation of Thailand. However, the British royal family has also made conditions. If Tangcheng decides to dig a canal in southern Thailand, the British royal family hopes to participate in it. "The British are not stupid!" Tang Cheng sighed as he handed the telegram to Hans.
Hans, who then read the telegram, glanced at Tangcheng out of habit and thought to himself, how could such a person be canonized as the Governor-General of Myanmar by the British royal family! "The British have traversed the sea for hundreds of years, relying on more than just fleets and guns! Don't you think the British are stupid and easy to deceive, so you arranged for me to go to London?" Hans' unintentional words were actually The truth was revealed in one sentence, but Tangcheng did not admit it. After discussing with Hans, Tang Cheng sent a telegram back to Thomas in his own name.
Tang Cheng's reply was very direct, not as vague as Thomas guessed, and Tang Cheng also made a request. In the telegram, Tang Cheng agreed to the request of the British royal family, but in exchange, Tang Cheng asked the British royal family to send palace teachers to teach his two younger sisters in northern Myanmar. Tang Cheng's request for being nice confuses many people. Except for the cunning Thomas, the British people who knew about Tang Cheng's request, including members of the British royal family, all mistakenly thought that this was Tang Cheng's response to show his closeness to Britain.
"Do you think they will be fooled this time?" While waiting for the British royal family's reply, Tang Cheng accompanied Hans to fish on the pier to pass the time. Hans did not answer Tang Cheng's shameless question, but just rolled his eyes. As a partner of Tang Cheng, Hans naturally knew the reason why Tang Cheng did this, but he was also curious whether the British royal family was as easy to deceive as Tang Cheng said! A few hours later, a call back from the UK came. It turned out that Tang Cheng had guessed correctly again!
The British royal family agreed to Tang Cheng's request, and also took the initiative to set aside 10% of the shares for Tang Cheng in the newly formed African Mineral Company. Although these 10% shares cannot be transferred or sold, as long as they are direct descendants of Tang Cheng, they can inherit these shares, and there is no inheritance tax. The British royal family even gave Tangcheng a privilege. Not only can Tangcheng now split the 10% of the shares at will, it can also designate a person to accept the original shares after the split.
This privilege was what Tangcheng needed. In front of Hans, Tangcheng wrote down the split of the 10% original shares on paper. Tang Cheng kept only 5% for himself, and split it with 2% for Hans. The remaining 3% was left by Tang Cheng to his two younger sisters and his older sister Tang Juan respectively. "Don't underestimate these two percent shares. I dare say that these shares are enough to support your family for several generations! But the prerequisite is that your people cannot smoke or gamble! "
Hans did not refuse Tang Cheng's generous gift, because he and Tang Cheng had been companions on the same boat for a long time. And in the past few years of cooperation with Tangcheng, Hans has done a lot. Without Hans, Tangcheng would not have been so smooth and established a relationship with the British royal family. Moreover, the Germans Hans brought from Europe did help northern Myanmar a lot. Without these technical personnel from Germany, the factories in northern Myanmar would not be able to continuously train a large number of professional talents for the country.
A few days later, Tang Cheng and Hans went to Japan. The international trial had almost turned into a joke. Tang Cheng was ready to use his own way to seek justice for the dead Chinese. Previously, with the help of Akita Koji's channel, Tangcheng arranged new legal identities for those assassins. Now, it is time for these assassins to contribute. "Smith, I need your help now!" The first person Tang Cheng came to was Smith, who was still in the Marine Corps. Relying on Smith's channels, Tangcheng soon learned the whereabouts of many retired Japanese military officers.
Throughout June, people disappeared across Japan. In the absence of attacks and bodies, these people could only be temporarily recorded as missing. It wasn't until one day that a retired Japanese colonel living in Gunma County rushed into the police station with bloodstains all over his body. Only then did the local people pay attention because someone attacked the retired Kwantung Army colonel. It wasn't that there was something wrong with the assassins. This seemingly failed attack was actually within Tang Cheng's plan.
Tang Cheng's purpose is to destabilize the situation in Japan. Only when the situation is completely chaotic can he have a chance to fish in troubled waters. With the exposure of this attack, missing cases across Japan were quickly consolidated and handled. Unfortunately, the police stations in various places did not have detailed and useful case information and clues.
As the planner, Tang Cheng was certainly not idle. After all, by killing these retired Japanese soldiers, Tang Cheng would also get a chance to win a lottery. In just one month, more than 30 retired Japanese officers died at the hands of Tang Cheng, including many former Japanese junior officers. The Americans, who are bent on being troublemakers, quickly noticed this. After all, they did not want to see such indiscriminate large-scale attacks. But it's a pity that Tangcheng and the others are very careful in doing things, and even the Americans didn't get any useful clues.
