When Hans found Heinz, the former major of the Wehrmacht was worrying about supporting his family. More than a year of prison life not only made Heinz's hair gray, but also forced his family to pawn things all the time. When Heinz was released from prison, all he had left in his house was a pile of old furniture, and his wife even Even the wedding ring was pawned. When Heinz learned of Hans' intention, his first reaction was to refuse, because he did not want to have anything to do with the war. He was lucky enough to escape from prison alive and would only live for his family from now on.
The name Heinz comes from a former colleague of Hans. When they learned that Hans wanted to recruit retired German soldiers, his former colleagues had already begun a large-scale search for suitable personnel, and Heinz was just one of them. . Therefore, Heinz's subconscious rejection did not make Hans retreat. On the contrary, he started to lobby Heinz harder. In order to convince Heinz, Hans even named another German Wehrmacht lieutenant colonel and stated that the Wehrmacht lieutenant colonel had agreed to follow Hans on a field trip to Myanmar.
The conditions offered by Hans were very generous, and Heinz happened to know the Lieutenant Colonel of the National Defense Forces who had been convinced by Hans. Therefore, when Hans came to visit for the third time, Heinz finally chose to compromise. Heinz was lucky because Hans agreed to bring his family to Thailand, and here in Thailand, Heinz's wife was immediately assigned a house with a distinct European style. The only thing that dissatisfied Heinz's wife was that there was no school for German children to attend!
Heinz was directly appointed as the head of the German garrison stationed in Bangkok. The staff strength was one thousand people. However, if you include the logistics service personnel assigned to them, the German garrison commanded by Heinz had a total of 1,000 people. Twelve hundred people. Heinz is a qualified soldier. This garrison regiment stationed on the outskirts of Bangkok conducts training every day. Heinz even trains all his soldiers to make each of them familiar with all the weapons and equipment equipped by the garrison.
During this inspection in Tangcheng, Heinz finally brought good news. If his infantry regiment is equipped with enough vehicles, he guarantees that his garrison regiment can become a true motorized infantry regiment. "The arsenal in Myanmar has produced enough new rifles. I estimate that at the beginning of next month, all members of your garrison will be able to change their uniforms! By then, the vehicles promised to you will also be delivered together!" All members of the rifle team changed their equipment. This was the second good news that Tangcheng brought to Heinz, especially since Heinz had personally tested the new rifle, so he knew the performance of the new rifle.
"I originally planned to guard all the passages between Bangkok and the outside world, and let the Thai royal family stay in the Bangkok Palace. However, I did not want to annex the entire Thailand. I just wanted the Thai royal family to take the initiative to subdue the area south of Bangkok. Leave it to me. Now not only the Thai royal family is dissatisfied, but even the British hope that Thailand can become a quagmire, and it is best to let the Americans fall into the entire quagmire." When Tang Cheng said this, he threw away his hand. Cigarette butt, turned to look at Heinz.
"I will not do things according to the British ideas, because I don't trust the British, and I don't trust the Americans. So, I will soon form several more German garrison units, one to be deployed south of Bangkok, and one to be stationed south of Bangkok." The branch is located in the area within Bangkok. Your only task is to crucify the Thai royal family in Bangkok. Don’t worry about other things. Later, there will be a group of retired veterans from Europe who will form a mercenary force. The troops are specially designed to deal with those hostile forces trying to resist me in central Thailand."
"As for the northern part of Thailand, I have mobilized three Burmese indigenous militia forces. They are crossing the border and entering northern Thailand. Once the time is right, they will move southward from northern Thailand, join the mercenary forces in central Thailand, and completely disintegrate Those opposition forces." Heinz just listened quietly to what Tang Cheng said at the moment, but did not interrupt Tang Cheng. He was secretly analyzing the arrangements Tang Cheng just mentioned from a military perspective.
"Boss, the arrangements you just mentioned should be said to be perfect! But as far as I know, when the Japanese army invaded South Asia, the Thai people took the initiative to become the accomplices of the Japanese army. Not only the Burmese, but also other South Asians The natives of the country also hate the Thais very much. I personally suggest that while you are making these arrangements, it is best to send people to secretly contact the small countries around Thailand. Only if this land is completely chaotic will our pressure It will be greatly reduced.”
Heinz's suggestion at this moment changed Tang Cheng's view of this gray-haired guy greatly. He did not expect that there were people in the German Wehrmacht who were so good at strategy. After just a few breaths of consideration, Tang Cheng slowly shook his head. As he spoke, he squatted down and used the tip of a short knife to draw a simple map of South Asia on the ground. "You see, this is Myanmar, bordering China, Thailand and India. The geographical location is not good, and it is not as good as Thailand."
"This is Thailand. I have always insisted on controlling the area south of Bangkok because in this location, if we can dig an inland canal or lay a transverse east-west transport railway, our transport fleet will be able to Without having to go around the Strait of Malacca, we can shorten the distance and transport goods from Europe to places such as Hong Kong and Japan. If we follow the coastline all the way north, our goods can also reach the Korean Peninsula and the territory of the Soviet Union."
"But if we follow your suggestion just now, we must control the whole of Thailand. Look at the map. I am already the governor of Myanmar. If Thailand is added to the list, this territory will be too big. Although I am in name only, I am entrusted to the British The Royal Governor of Burma, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that my relationship with the British royal family is at most a cooperative relationship, and I have no affiliation with them. This is Japan. Japan has surrendered for so long, and the US military in the Pacific has not left here. You say they What is it for?”
"Before World War II, the American influence in South Asia could not leave the Philippines! In this war, the Americans acted as the vanguard, all the way into Japan! They did this not to avenge the hatred, but to aggravate the situation. The influence of the United States in South Asia. If we, at this time, take action against the entire Thailand, it will inevitably trigger the United States to target. Once the Americans get involved in Thailand's affairs, they will not choose to leave voluntarily, just like in Japan. .”
"The British hope that the Americans will fall into this quagmire, but after the Americans come, I am sure that the British will not jump out to face the Americans. This war not only nearly bankrupted the British government, but also destroyed The majesty and bloody spirit of the empire on which the sun never sets. Therefore, for our benefit, we must not occupy the entire Thailand at this time. Especially we cannot allow chaos within Thailand at this time, and we cannot give the Americans a chance to dictate."
Tang Cheng said this, regardless of whether Heinz understood what he said, he stood up and wiped the simple map on the ground with his toes. "The British troops in Myanmar, at my request, promised to delay the withdrawal. However, they can only extend the time for half a year at most. After half a year, all German troops in Thailand will gradually withdraw to Myanmar and take over the British army. The defense zone after leaving. Therefore, my base has always been Myanmar, not here."
Tang Cheng's last words finally made Heinz enlightened. Only then did he understand the true meaning of Tang Cheng's words just now. In fact, at this time, Heinz didn't know that he had been deceived by Tang Cheng. How could Tang Cheng not be interested in Thailand. The current Thai royal family can only hide in the Royal Palace in Bangkok. The senior officials of the Thai government, without military power, can only survive. In addition, Tangcheng also controls Thailand's Jiang Cha police system. Now, it can be said that Thailand has completely opened its arms to Tangcheng.
Tang Cheng would say this to Heinz because he was not yet completely at ease with these Germans, so a certain amount of confidentiality and testing was still necessary. However, Tangcheng also gave Heinz a lot of authority. At least after inspecting the barracks, he was very satisfied with Heinz's abilities. In the following time, Tang Cheng also went to Bangkok. Compared with before, Bangkok has regained some of its vitality now, and the streets look much livelier.
The poor people living at the bottom of Thailand have not expressed too much indignation because of the house arrest of the Thai royal family, because no matter who is in power, the lives of these poor people will continue. As the capital of Thailand, it also has the largest number of police officers. With the joining of a large number of Chinese, the Chinese community living in Bangkok can finally straighten their lives. They are now the ones who welcome the arrival of Chinatown the most.
Tang Cheng observed in Bangkok for three days, during which he also discovered some problems, but he didn't take it to heart because Thailand is not his territory now. Because of the inaction in Tangcheng, Thailand is actually very embarrassed now. You say it still belongs to the Thais, but neither the military nor the police system, the state's violent institutions, are now in the hands of the Thais. But if Tangcheng has taken control of Thailand, Thailand's original government agencies are still in the hands of the Thais.
So far, Tangcheng has only appointed mayors of some cities, but these mayors are still living in northern Myanmar and have not come to Thailand to take office. In other words, in Thailand now, military and political affairs have been completely separated. The government agencies are still in the hands of the Thais. They have lost their military power and police system. Even if they are dissatisfied with Tangcheng, they have no way to confront Tangcheng. And as Heinz said before, the small countries surrounding Thailand are also eyeing them. Amid internal and external troubles, Thais are already living in fear.
