As long as Solovitch's counterfeit banknote factory does not stop operations, Tangcheng will have the confidence to implement those plans. After all, without money, all good plans are nonsense. Tang Cheng's generous rewards once again encouraged Solovitch. Of course, Tang Cheng did not treat others badly. Whether it was gold bars or large pieces of jade, Tang Cheng rewarded a lot. The situation in northern Myanmar has basically stabilized, but with the immigrants coming in from time to time, northern Myanmar seems a bit scattered.
After more than a year of infrastructure construction in the early stage, the situation in northern Myanmar has already taken on a completely new look, especially the construction of roads and railways, which has come to an end. Although the Chongqing robe buddies who joined before have not recovered their original investment, the grain business in northern Myanmar alone is enough for them to make a lot of money. The population of northern Myanmar is less than one million, but the cultivated land has been more than ten times that of before. Coupled with the use of small agricultural machinery, northern Myanmar has experienced three bumper harvests.
Northern Myanmar has a small population, so it naturally consumes less food. All the excess food was sent to Chongqing by these buddies who were looking for money-making opportunities while building roads. Although the profits of the grain business are low, they cannot support the large base of the grain business. The large amount of grain investment has even forced the price of grain in Chongqing to drop by more than 20%. Lowering food prices is what the government hopes to see most. With the surrender of the Japanese army, rice produced in northern Burma was even sold to Nanjing and Shanghai.
Both Myanmar and Thailand are rich in forest resources. As rice from northern Myanmar is sold northward, many domestic businessmen also come south to Myanmar to look for business opportunities. The efforts of the cleanup team have already driven away a large number of local indigenous people in northern Myanmar, and only snakes, insects, rats, and ants are left in the mountains and forests of northern Myanmar. With the professor's strong suggestion, the timber business in northern Myanmar was finally put on the agenda. Nowadays, dignitaries in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places like to use mahogany from Myanmar to make furniture.
Wanding, which was originally just an ordinary port, has now become lively and has evolved into a town. Hundreds of thousands of people come here to make a living every day. Deputy Commander Huang, who was in charge of port affairs, followed Tang Cheng's request and did not screen the familiar faces active in Wanding, because Tang Cheng knew that among these people there must be plainclothes spies from the military and central commanders. But now that Tang Cheng has grown up, he no longer worries about the trouble the government will cause him. If something happens, he can mobilize the British army to negotiate.
The current pillar industries in northern Myanmar are tobacco and beer. However, because the output of tobacco and beer is not large, all output is given priority to be sold to Europe. Those robe buddies who made money until their eyes turned red once suggested that Tangcheng set aside some tobacco and beer to sell domestically, but Tangcheng rejected it. The tobacco and beer produced in northern Myanmar are sold to Europe not just to earn money from foreigners. The biggest purpose of exporting to Europe is to cover the counterfeit banknote business.
If there is no business dealings with Europe, or the business scale is too small, there is no way to cover up the counterfeit banknote business in Tangcheng. Relying on the counterfeit banknote business, Tangcheng not only obtained a large number of advanced machinery and equipment from Japan, but also purchased more than a dozen decommissioned transport ships from the United Kingdom and Italy. Neither the proud British nor the arrogant Italians have seen through Tang Cheng’s counterfeit banknote plan. As time goes by, Tang Cheng believes that the counterfeit banknotes printed by Solovitch and the others can be exchanged for northern Myanmar. More good stuff.
"The construction of highways will continue. We have ordered a lot of related equipment and machinery from Europe. Before the end of the year, the highway network in central Myanmar must be connected to northern Myanmar." In a large room in northern Myanmar, a long There were people sitting on both sides of the table. These were Chongqing robe buddies who were bent on following Tangcheng to earn a living. Originally, Tangcheng promised them that they were going to set up a mining company in northern Myanmar to make a lot of money from the minerals in northern Myanmar. But they didn’t expect that the food and timber business in northern Myanmar alone would be enough for them to earn.
What's more, they didn't expect that Tang Cheng would suddenly transform into the Governor-General of Myanmar who was canonized by the British royal family. He was also the kind of Governor-General of Myanmar who could be hereditary. In other words, Myanmar has now become the private land of Tangcheng, so these smart-minded buddies no longer dare to mention the previous agreement. In return, Tangcheng simply contracted the grain and timber business in northern Myanmar to them, and what these burly brothers needed to do was continue to manage the road construction in Myanmar.
The brothers are loyal. Tangcheng contracted the grain and timber business in northern Myanmar to them at a low price. This is giving them a golden rice bowl. Although they have nothing to do with Myanmar's mining business, they also know that at times like this, they should hold on to Tang Cheng's thighs more tightly. They all knew about the recruitment of local people to form militia units in northern Myanmar. They learned that the first two batches of local militia units had been transferred to northern Thailand. Several of the scheming Pao Ge leaders had already guessed that Tang The city is going to take action against Thailand.
It can be seen that Tangcheng is interested in agricultural construction, so as long as the area controlled by Tangcheng further increases, their grain business will also reach a higher level. Compared with the unstable mining business, the grain business seems to be more suitable for them. As long as the smart brother Pao compares it in private, he will know how to do things in the future. Tang Cheng stayed in northern Myanmar for almost a month. Not only did he inspect the counterfeit banknote factory that Solovitch was responsible for, but he also went to the arsenal and technician training base.
The new rifles produced by the northern Myanmar arsenal have basically stabilized at a monthly rate of 6,000. Although this output is still very low, the actual purpose of building this arsenal in Tangcheng is to train military technical personnel from China. The current monthly output of 6,000 guns is enough to meet the needs of the Zionist Army, and there is still a part left in Tangcheng to equip the newly formed German garrison. Those retired German soldiers all fell in love with this new semi-automatic rifle after several rounds of live fire.
In their words, if the German army fighting on two fronts at that time could be equipped with such semi-automatic rifles, neither the Allies nor the Soviet army would be able to fight the German army at all. Although they belonged to the defeated side, these original German officers and soldiers were still unconvinced. After all, there were too many enemies surrounding them on two fronts. And whether it is the Soviet Union or the United States, their powerful industrial production capabilities are unmatched by Germany. What's more terrible is that Germany also has two so-called allies that are habitually holding back.
When Hans brought these so-called German refugees from Europe, he was worried that Tangcheng would refuse to accept these Germans. However, he did not expect that Tangcheng not only did not refuse, but also took the initiative to find the person in charge of the Zionist Organization in Thailand. . Hans didn't know how Tang Cheng negotiated with the people from the Zionist Organization, but he knew that Tang Cheng must have made some kind of promise, or directly offered benefits that the other party could not refuse. The Germans stabilized in Thailand.
At present, the number of Germans coming from Europe has exceeded 400,000, of which more than 300,000 live in northern Myanmar, and the rest are in southern Thailand. Due to the continuous increase of Germans, the German garrison has expanded to three regiments. One of the infantry regiments is stationed on the outskirts of Bangkok, and the remaining two are one in the south and one in the north of Bangkok. These three German garrison groups surrounded Bangkok. Together with the Thai police system, which is mostly composed of Chinese people, the Thai royal family is now completely in the hands of Tangcheng.
Although it has clearly controlled Thailand's military and police systems, it has not taken action against Thailand's local government affairs. Tangcheng's strange behavior not only made the Thai royal family tremble, but also made Thai government officials fearful all day long. In fact, they didn't know that it wasn't that Tangcheng didn't want to move these people, but that it had no way to move them. Tang Cheng has no shortage of people who can fight, but he lacks practical talents who can handle local government affairs. So all he can do now is to first deploy a group of German mayors with rich urban construction experience to Thailand.
After inspecting the specific situation in northern Myanmar, Tangcheng planned to recruit at least 3,000 more Germans to form three new German motorized infantry regiments. Hans went to Europe this time not only to arrange plastic surgery for the bureau chief, but also to shoulder the task of purchasing military supplies from the Allies. Military trucks and jeeps, as well as troop carriers and armored vehicles capable of carrying mobile troops, and even light tanks, are all the targets of Hans's acquisition.
After the acquisition of these military equipment, once refurbished and repaired, they will all be equipped to the German Motorized Infantry Regiment. Tangcheng plans to use the German mobile infantry organized by these three regiments to become a mobile force that completely controls southern Thailand. The European mercenary troops formed later will be arranged to enter central Thailand to deal with those local Thai forces who are unwilling to give up. Let the whole of Thailand be completely quiet.
However, no news has come back from Hans. These are just Tangcheng's assumptions. After Tang Cheng left northern Myanmar, he went directly to southern Thailand. He was preparing to conduct on-site surveys here to prepare for the future construction of the horizontal railway. Working with Tang Cheng, there are also professionals he recruited from the Germans in northern Burma. They will be the main force for this field survey.
The Jews did not understand Tangcheng's plan. With the support of the US military, they did not care about the time and cost of sea transportation. Moreover, whether it is digging a canal or laying a horizontal railway, it will take a lot of time, manpower and material resources. They want to restore the country and have no intention of spending energy on this plan. But what they didn't know was that their rejection was exactly what Tangcheng wanted to see the most, because Tangcheng did not want the Jews to participate in its plan.
