A week later, European veterans recruited by Hans arrived at the Thai port on transport ships one after another. Hans previously told Tang Cheng that he had recruited at least 6,000 people, but in fact, the number of retired veterans from Europe far exceeded Hans' actual recruitment. Tangcheng built a military camp for mercenary troops in a valley south of Bangkok, and specially transferred Heinz to temporarily manage the mercenary training camp.
Among these retired veterans from Europe, German veterans account for 40%, in addition to veterans from Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. The opponents who were fighting to the death on the battlefield have now become comrades-in-arms, and several private fights and conflicts occur every day in the training camp. After receiving the report, Tang Cheng did not come forward to stop it. He just ordered that weapons, including cold weapons, must not be used in private conflicts.
For a week, conflicts and fights continued in the training camp. Tangcheng then ordered that a football field be built outside the military camp so that the two sides who were preparing to fight privately could form their own teams and fight in a fair way. In just half a month, six football fields have been built outside this training center with a population of nearly 7,000 people. The mercenaries have worked together privately to form more than 30 teams. After every day's training, the stadium outside the camp was packed with people, and they were used to fighting in this way.
Tangcheng planned to train these European veterans for half a year, but this football league method allowed these European veterans to quickly become familiar with each other, and the cooperation during training became smoother. According to Heinz's estimate, these European veterans would be able to complete all training subjects and leave the training camp in less than half a year, perhaps three months. This is undoubtedly good news for Tangcheng, and Tangcheng's old friend Xu Huanshan will soon come to northern Myanmar.
Last time in Chongqing, after Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan separated, the two had not seen each other again. This time Xu Huanshan followed the order of Yan'an Teke and went south to northern Myanmar to verify the study status of the previous groups of people who went south. At the same time, Xu Huanshan also shoulders a secret mission. Yan'an hopes that Tang Cheng can go north to Yan'an to meet with several senior officials. In the archives of Yan'an Special Branch, there are now more and more information about Tangcheng. The senior officials in Yan'an also want to know how this young man has done all this.
While waiting for Xu Huanshan to move south, Heinz cooperated with Tang Cheng to divide the six thousand European veterans into five motorized infantry regiments and arranged their respective defense zones. On the surface, Tangcheng gave them the task of stabilizing the place, but in fact, the leaders of these five mercenary motorized infantry regiments all received tasks assigned by Tangcheng privately. The first task given to them by Tangcheng was to forcefully collect all Thai weapons in their respective defense zones based on the intelligence and clues given by the local police.
When the armed forces from northern Myanmar entered Thailand with force, they first cooperated with the Zionist Army and carried out several comprehensive encirclement and suppression campaigns against the Thai army. The Thai army has been defeated several times, and many officers and soldiers have fled. Most of these defeated soldiers in the Thai army carried weapons and ammunition when they fled the army. If they are allowed to hide among the people, they will definitely become a factor of instability in the future. Therefore, Tangcheng plans to attack these defeated troops first.
When everything was ready and the first mercenary unit left the training camp, Tangcheng finally received a telegram from northern Myanmar that Xu Huanshan had gone south to northern Myanmar. This is Xu Huanshan's first time coming to Myanmar. In his impression, northern Myanmar, like the southwest of China, is full of low-rise dwellings and fields. But after he actually entered northern Myanmar, he found that the judgments he drew from the data and intelligence were almost all wrong.
The northern Myanmar that Xu Huanshan saw was no less prosperous than Kunming, and even the prosperous Shanghai in the past did not have so many foreigners. I learned from the guide that not only hundreds of thousands of Jews but also hundreds of thousands of German refugees from Germany live in northern Myanmar. This answer made Xu Huanshan frown secretly. He couldn't guess what Tangcheng's intention was, but he was worried that northern Myanmar would become like Shanghai in the future, with concessions controlled by foreigners everywhere.
"Mr. Xu, don't worry, what you are worried about will never happen here." Tang Cheng is not in northern Myanmar, and the person in charge of receiving him is Tang Mo, who has just returned from central Myanmar. Tang Mo, who is seventeen years old, is now Zhang Jianghe's deputy. When Zhang Jianghe is not in Mandalay, it is Tang Mo who is in charge of all affairs of the military unification station in Myanmar. After several years of training, Tang Mo is no longer the ignorant boy he was before. He has already become a qualified intelligence veteran.
Xu Huanshan's behavior along the way and his subconscious reaction to the foreigners he met along the way allowed Tang Mo to immediately judge the worries in Xu Huanshan's heart. "This is Myanmar, not Shanghai during the Qing Dynasty. These foreigners are only temporarily admitted here, so they only have the right to reside, but they do not have all the rights that Chinese people should have. Besides, my eldest brother is the governor-general of Myanmar, and this is My eldest brother’s private land, even if the British come, they can’t take a piece of land from here.”
Tang Mo's attitude was very clear, which made Xu Huanshan sigh secretly in his heart, saying that the young man in front of him really looked like Tang Cheng before. When Xu Huanshan first met Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng was so young at that time. In the blink of an eye, after so many years, Tang Cheng's two brothers have matured and become Tang Cheng's best helpers. It was already two days after Tang Cheng returned to northern Myanmar, and Xu Huanshan had also completed his observation and investigation of the technical personnel who went south.
"The reason why the arsenal does not continue to expand is because I don't want to attract the attention of the British. Once I have the ability to mass-produce weapons and ammunition, the British will definitely start to be wary of me. My next plan will also need the help of the British royal family. , So, at this time, I can't offend them, let alone make them start to be wary of me!" After meeting Xu Huanshan, when Xu Huanshan asked him about the arsenal, Tang Cheng immediately gave this answer.
"I believe you have also seen that all of my factory projects here are mainly training. My plan for Myanmar is to only retain light industry projects in the future. I have enough machinery and equipment for all heavy industry projects. . Once the domestic situation stabilizes, I will deliver those heavy industrial equipment to you as soon as possible. I hope you can make preparations in advance and build heavy industry factories sooner, and the country's strength will be strengthened sooner."
Tangcheng, which had already guessed that Xu Huanshan was from, was unambiguous and directly presented his overall plan to the other party. "Grain, wood, and fruits are my major export items, and textiles and tobacco may be added in the future! I have a good relationship with Europe now, and I can order ships from Europe in the name of Myanmar first. Once the domestic situation stabilizes, I can transfer these ships to you. China’s coastline is too long, and without a navy, the country will be very passive.”
"Before in Japan and Europe, I also obtained a lot of construction information and data on the construction of destroyers and aircraft carriers by the navies of various countries. As for the relevant special steel formula data, I also obtained it. As long as the heavy industry foundation is laid, I believe that the country will soon We will develop special steel of the same quality." Tang Cheng's words are quite right. The various new technologies and data he obtained from Japan and Europe are not just the bits Xu Huanshan imagined, but will be used in several ways. A massive amount of data can only be transported back by a transport ship.
Moreover, while Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan were talking, hundreds of teachers and students from Southwest University were in a valley in northern Myanmar, carefully sorting out the technical materials that Tang Cheng had obtained from Japan and Europe according to classification. and data. There is no way, Tang Cheng and the others have obtained too many good things. If they cannot give full play to the role of these materials, everyone will feel that Tang Cheng and the others have wasted their efforts.
The teachers and students of Southwest University were specially invited by professors from Kunming. These teachers and students who chose to continue studying all the way south for the sake of the country have now become Tangcheng’s strongest backers and helpers. According to their estimates, as long as they understand these data thoroughly, China's future development will definitely not be weaker than those of Western countries. After all, the endurance and creativity of the Chinese are not much worse than those of the Westerners. For this dream, hundreds of teachers and students from Southwest University are willing to hide in this valley to take care of and organize these materials.
At this moment, Xu Huanshan didn't know this. He just thought that the information Tang Cheng obtained was only about military matters. After all, during his stay in northern Myanmar these days, he found that most of the technicians from Yan'an were studying in the arsenal. Tangcheng did not explain Xu Huanshan's misunderstanding. After all, some news still needed to be tightly sealed. Tang Cheng showed Xu Huanshan his overall plan, and finally reminded him that he must confirm with the Soviets the ownership of Outer Mongolia. After all, in the early days of the Republic of China, the famous Beiyang general Xu Shuzheng had already led troops to regain Outer Mongolia.
Tang Cheng's topic jumped so much that Xu Huanshan couldn't react for a moment, but Tang Cheng's next words made him excited instantly. "Do you know why the Japanese must provoke Outer Mongolia? They not only want to station troops in Outer Mongolia to threaten the northwest region, but mainly because Outer Mongolia has large mineral reserves. According to the clues I found in Japan, Outer Mongolia There is a coal mine in Mongolia close to the border with my country that can be mined almost in the open, and the coal reserves there are enough to consume all the Chinese people for decades."
